The Cougars took their second straight title with an amazing 50.9 percent recycling rate, easily eclipsing last year's winning mark of 43.6 percent. For the past ten weeks, 93 colleges and universities from across the nation have competed in RecycleMania, the annual EPA sponsored recycling and waste reduction contest. CSUSM entered this year's contest as the defending champion, but with nearly twice the competition as in 2005. This year, the competition nearly doubled from 47 competitors to 93 national participators. Two schools, Kalamazoo College and Point Loma Nazarene University, exceeded Cal State San C SUSM's Facility Services Blue Crew collect and sort recyclable materials generated by the campus Marcos' record from last year. community.

In an effort to emphasize the need to reduce all waste, measuring both trash and recyclables, the RecycleMania competition introduced a new modified competition renamed "Waste Minimization". The 2006 Competition featured three categories: Waste Minimization, Per Capita, and an overall combined category of Grand Champion. The award of Grand Champion calculates the combination of recycling per capita and waste minimization to determine the institution with the best overall performance. Cal State San Marcos came in second place in the category of Per Capita. However, CSUSM was heads and shoulders above the rest in the special division of Targeted Material-Corrugated Cardboard competition, collecting an astonishing 72 poundsper student,almosttripletheamount collected by Kalamazoo College which Recycle, SEE page 3 Photo courtesy of Carl Hanson, member of CSUSM's Green Team. Are Course Evaluations worth the effort? BY LORA PAINTER Pride Staff Writer With the conclusion of each semester, students participate in course evaluations providing feedback to professors and administrators on the quality of the curriculum and teaching effectiveness. Within a four-year academic career at Cal State San Marcos, each student will complete approximately 35-40 course evaluations, evaluating both the instructor and the course. Many students rush through the evaluation process, and doubt that their opinions are ever read or considered. Through further analysis and interviews with key faculty members, findings negate student suspicions that course evaluations go overlooked. "Course evaluations assist instructors in monitoring their teaching effectiveness," said Matthew Ceppi, director of Institutional Planning & Analysis. "Research has shown that ratings can be used to improve instruction delivery ifutilized as part of a personal consultation between the faculty member and a mentor or Evaluations, SEE page 2 Biasedl mediaP BY JON THOMNPSON Pride Staff Writer On Tuesday evening, CSUSM professor Dr. Anthony Hurst introduced the group "Peace Mark." Representative Hank Kraus had contacted Hurst about having their speaker give a lecture on campus. Kraus briefly described his organization as a peace organization seeking an end to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Kraus then introduced the evening's speaker, Allison Weir, as a "Peace Mark" affiliate with "If Americans Knew." Although the lecture was open to the public, it was attended by Hurst's LTWR/COMM 316 Student Newspaper class and a handful of local "Peace Mark" members. The only Cal State San Marcos students in attendance were from the Student Newspaper class. "Despite our affiliations we should get the facts," said Weir, as she introduced herself as a journalist. She went on to say, "I don't take a side; I just believe in being as accurate as possible, and reporting what the media leaves out." She expressed that "all humans are important, regardless of race, or religion." After being questioned for clarification, Weir said, "My views are not without my own bias." Weir began the presentation with a power point of numerous graphs demonstrating the drastic slant in American news coverage of Israeli deaths, as opposed to the coverage of the deaths of Palestinians.

Recently, the evaluations have been reviewed for modifications by the Academic Senate. The evaluation modifications are expected to go through another review during the 2006/2007 school year. According to Dr. Dreama Moon, Communication professor and department chair, student evaluations were born during the 1960's and '70's as a result of student resistance. Students felt that professors had a lot of power and control over their grades, while the students themselves had no say regarding the course experience. So, course evaluations were created and became a part of professors' job performance review. "I read mine and attended to the comments that are helpful and constructive,- but some [are] not," said Dr. Moon. While course evaluations were born out of Baby Boomer student activism, today's college students may feel less engaged about them, according to Moon. "Students often don't give them much attention or thought," said Dr. Moon. "I believe in student power and their voices should be heard, but it's like a mechanic evaluating a plumber." "It's just a way of getting students' opinions without actually dealing with them," said Austin Anderson, Communication major and graduating senior. "I'm sure there's a law out there that requires {course evaluations], but I don't think the [administrators] sit there and actually read them." In fact, Article 15 (15.14 15.17) of the California Faculty Association collective bargaining agreement outlines the policies on course evaluations completed by students. According to the other resource person." According to Ceppi, the campus spends $36,709 each academic year generating, conducting and processing course evaluations. The course evaluations utilize an academic scantron format, requiring students to provide answers to specific course quality, as well as offering opportunities for free-response evaluation. Each evaluation has specific objectives associated with the course. Students are not asked to reveal any parts of their identity; all course evaluations are confidential. After answering general background information, the student is asked to address questions regarding the instructor and the course: was the instructor well prepared, did the course materials fit the course topic,, etc. To answer each question, students choose between five options ranging from "strongly agree," "neutral," to "strongly disagree." To maintain a neutral environment, course instructors are not allowed in the room while students complete the evaluations. The content on the evaluations is developed by the Academic Senate Faculty Affairs Committee and approved by the Academic Senate as a whole. The deployment method is handled by the Institutional Planning & Analysis committee. Evaluations are generated based on items that have been used in other institutions for many years. According to'Marie Thomas, the Faculty Affairs Committee chai, and Mary Elizabeth Stivers, assistant vice president for Academic Resources, a Faculty Affairs subcommittee works to put the evaluation forms together based on extensive research. The University Retention, Tenure and Promotion policy addresses the Use of the evalua- THE PRIDE agreement, "written student questionnaire evaluations shall be required for all faculty unit employees who teach.

Carl Hanson, member of the Green Team, a division that operates out of Facility Services, attributes the school's success to the Blue Team's commitment to excellence, in addition to the large amounts of cardboard collected during new campus construction and renovations. "We are the cardboard kings," said Hanson. "The Markstein Hall opening produced a lot of cardboard, which we were able to capture and recycle." RecycleMania is a ten week friendly competition created to increase awareness on the need to reduce all waste including trash and recyclables. The goal is to acknowledge the institution that was able to "collect the largest amount of recyclables, the least amount of trash and have the highest recycling rate," according to the rules at recyclemaniacs. org. The official "Thank You Day Event" and presentation of the new trophy is scheduled for the month of September to applaud and recognize the campus' hard work and continual commitment. "We would like to thank those who contributed to this wonderful victory by Reducing, Reusing and R ecycling... and a special thanks to the people who made that extra effort in their own areas to help capture and claim all of those recyclables," said the Cal State San Marcos Blue Team. "I expect the competition to get bigger and bigger with every year," said Hanson. As this event grows in popularity, Cal State San Marcos will have to do even better to defend its title. "There is always room for improvement," said Hanson. "Ultimately, our dream is to produce zero waste! We need to improve campus communication and student involvement to create a culture that when you step on campus, you just know to recycle." Grand Master Champion trophy made from recycled material.

Weir's presentation then went into a series of graphic photos of numerous Palestinian men and women killed by Israeli soldiers during the "recent conflict." The slides provided when and where on their bodies the Palestinians were shot, but no further information was offered. Later in the evening, when Weir was questioned as to the circumstances of these deaths, she still gave no explanation as to the circumstances. The photos went on to show a number of children injured and killed by I sraelis, m ost o f w hich w ith m e a D ove pnotograpn reatures tne city or Khan Yunis, in central Baza, in February 2001. "Since then, n o e xplanation a t a ll t o t he the area has been even more destroyed," said Weir. "In the past few weeks, Israel has sent over 2,300 c ircumstance. T he m ost t hat artillery shells and 34 missies into Gaza," according to Weir: was offered by Weir was that a few of the children were throwing rocks. When again pressed by questioning as to any provocation of these deaths or perhaps what it was the boys were throwing rocks at, Weir again implied no provocation or reason for the actions of the Israeli's military members. Weir then transitioned into her brief history of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and the conflict surrounding the area. Her history excluded biblical history of the region; instead, her account of the region began with the relinquishing of control of the region by England to the United Nations. The United Nations then decided, after World War II, to give what is today Israel to the Jewish people. According to Weir, the current tensions and violence in the region resulted from the "unfair" division of the land in 1948, granting 55 percent of the region to the Jewish people and 45 percent to the indigenous Arab people. Her historical account continued into what she said the Israelis refer to as, "the war of independence"; historically, this war is referred to as the Six Day War. Weir's account of the Six Day War amounted to what she called the Israeli's 'Pearl Harbor-like' attack on the United States in 1967, when the Israeli "brutally attacked the USS Liberty for relentless hours killing 34 American servicemen and injuring 172 others." Weir said, it was during this attack when Israel took Gaza and the West Bank and initiated the current conflict. Weir then proceeded to show slides and describe her 2001 trip to the region, Photo courtesy of Alison Weir from "If Americans Knew.Org" where she toured the area as a freelance reporter. Her slide show featured many photographs of her trip to the West Bank. Once the locals discovered Weir was a journalist, she said the townspeople "flocked" to her, wanting to show her the damage to their homes from Israeli bullets and bombs. The homes, depicted by the pictures Weir took, showed shells of what were once homes and apartment buildings, as well as leveled fields and farm land, with border walls in the background.^ When questioned as to the circumstances surrounding the pictures she displayed, Weir denied any wrong doing by the Palestinians to provoke these actions by the Israelis. Weir then went on to describe a common scenario where Israelis drive their tanks and their fully outfitted soldiers anywhere to assault the Palestinian people and their homes, "intentionally creating poverty" and "intentionally executing children." Weir points out that the United States is currently giving "$10 million per day in aid to Israel." On the contrary, her website suggests that $15,139,178 per day is given in aid. Weir said that, "we (Americans) helped create this conflict through our aid," contributing to the violence. Weir was asked what circumstances drove the Israelis to undertake these actions. Weir insisted that after conversing with and among the Palestinians, she did not see, and was not ever aware of, any provocation on behalf of the Palestinians. When asked about her views on the Pal- estinian group, Hamas, Weir responded saying that Hamas was primarily a "social service group," working within the communities. Weir said "Hamas is seen as a reform party." She claimed that the creation of Hamas was the result of the people "being killed and starved under the Fatah government and the corruption of Arafat and his call for an equal secretarial democratic state." Weir claimed "that Hamas was responsible for holding a recent truce for a year." When asked about the means by which Hamas wages war, Weir immediately started to justify suicide bombings by explaining that, "without planes, attack choppers or tanks, [suicide bombing] is the only means of delivering a bomb that the Hamas has." Responding to the question about the locations for where Hamas delivers their attacks, Weir said "Soldiers eat in restaurants and market places," stating that it's the military that Hamas is attacking in these public places, not the Israelis citizens. Weir began to tell of her time spent in Israel and related it to why Hamas would attack public buses. "When I would take the public bus in Israel, I would get on to see two or three soldiers already on board; by the time we got to the end of the line, several others had gotten onboard." The above viewpoints are intended to represent only the view points of the speaker, and her affiliate organizations.

In addition to such things that might impress or perhaps intimidate, we spoke of the importance of bringing in a workplace from all walks of life. "It's critical to have diversity in the workplace . .. we already have 50/50 male/ female, but what we really target is people who are passionate about believing in what long term care can do. Background has very little impact on what we're looking for; we love diversity because we're looking to reach everyone, because everyone deals with aging." The conversation continued, and Mr. Stepanek discussed how good it was for businesses to work from the standpoint of a more needs-based than cutthroat, monopolizing market. "As an industry we need to work together . .. not fight each other, because that doesn't help anybody; it hurts consumers' confidence, it hurts the industry, and is not solving the need." He then pointed to the auto industry, and how car lots never used to be 'auto malls' when they saw each other as competition, but now see the advantages of 'one stop shopping.' As many other prospective employees would be asked that day, he wanted to know not only what skills would be brought to the table, but 'why do you want to work in this field?' •> The Future Teacher Summer Institute provides at least $900 in fellowship to each participant toward die cost of tuition ($951).

The signs posted every few feet around lots X, Y and Z warning drivers not to spin their tires for fear of damaging other cars with a spray of rocks, do little to help the negative feelings of students about the dirt lots. According to the Physical Planning office, the makeshift lots are also located on an area of campus designated for use as sports fields. While the lots are not in immediate risk of disappearing, Mr. Williams concedes that they may u nexpectedly be removed if funding for the sports fields is a ppropriated or donated. Even if that were to happen, though, according to the predictions of Parking Services, there should be enough parking for students. Many students weary of hiking uphill through the elements from lots X, Y and Z to their classes don't think the new F lot can come soon enough. One student, Eric Fiebrantz, Communications 2006, said it would be "great", citing the shorter walk to class and not having to wash his car as often as two clear benefits. In regards to the F lot and eventual construction of the parking structure, he added, "...too bad I'll be graduated before any of it's done". Photo Illustration by David Gatley / The Pride Weekly Wacky Website: Deathclock.com BY KATRENA ROBINOSN Pride Staff Writer I can't believe I 'm going to die on Christmas! This was my reaction when I visited the website deathclock. com which revealed I was going to die Tuesday, Dec. 25, 2063. To not be intrigued by a title that reads, "Death Clock: the internet's friendly reminder that time is slipping away.,." you'd have to have no pulse. The website asks for seven things: the day, month, and year of birth, sex, mode (which is basically asking if you're pessimistic), and BMI (if you don't know yours it helps you calculate it). With these seven things Death Clock calculates how much longer you have to live. As morbid or absurd as it sounds, this site has been visited more than 100,000 times since its apparent inception early in the century. Sidebar links include f un archives like "Obituary" where the curious can view the departure time of celebrities like Britney Spear's, who isn't scheduled till February 2061 at eighty-one years old; I'm sure she'll be missed. Then there's "Your Will" leading to FAQ's about the website, "The Mortuary" as a kind of Death Clock store for t-shirts, screensavers, as well as polls and quote listings. "The Dead Letter Office" is where some of the nastier (and nicer) e-mails are posted. The e-mails sent to the creator of the Death Clock website go as far as accusing the creator of pretending to play God, to accusing them of leaving others in serious distress, awaiting their day (or other loved ones day) of doom.

With a handful of my best friends, a bunch of wiom live in New York, I explored and absorbed New York beyond my wildest imaginations. With incredible pub and bar scenes, incomparably delicious Jewish delis, the world's best pizza, buildings the size of mountains, themed restaurants that defy explanation, subway systems that span to eternity, and people that are as friendly as family, the city of New York has never been more inviting. Staying for free in the Upper West Side definitely didn't hurt matters much. In fact, my buddy's shoebox of an apartment had a balcony with access to the roof, which was definitely the sweetest part of my entire trip. While nursing hangovers and waiting for nightfall, I was free to roam the roof tops like Spiderman, watching over my temporary home from far above the streets. The Upper West Side is geographically located, well above the majority of the city and on the western side of the island. However, once you step outside your buildings m jgteraKragM WäMtiBI* ; •8 m B IS WÊÊÊKiéMÈi wmm:' * jflte' ^ w « • B ili direction is lost. Having a native to guide you on your way is definitely a must. Every night in New York was unbelievable. I found myself mesmerized by the amount of young college students every where I went. Unlike San Diego's sparse hot spots like PB and Downtown, practically every street in Manhattan is going crazy every night of the week all nightlong. I'm not sure because almost every residence is smaller than a closet, driving people outside for their own sanity, or maybe it's because there are more people in this city than most states' entire population, but it seems like the entire community goes out every night to meet one another in some crazy ongoing party where everyone is invited. When you're not in the mood for a night of drunken debauchery (which was a rare m • filled with incredible places to go, see, and experience. Opting to spend a little more money for dinner, we decided to go to a themed restaurant called Ninja. All we had heard of the place was something along the lines of real ninjas serving sushi. I mean, how can you go wrong, ninjas, sushi, sharp knives, and sake; rnost definitely ingredients for a good time. Man, we underestimated the overall experience that restaurant would offer. The restaurant itself could serve as an entire article, but I'll suffice to say that secret passageways, crazy ninja attacks, secret Japanese villages, and ninja magic await to please all of your senses in a most unforgettable evening. The craziest part of New York has to be that no matter how much time you spend there, no matter how long you live there, you will never discover all that the city has to offer, restaurants like Ninja are tucked away everywhere in the city. And in case the city is too middle of it lies Central Park, quite possibly our nation's greatest city planned park, allows a temporary escape for the cement weary. Spanning grassy hills, open air concert venues, serene lakes and massive oak trees replace the hustle and bustle of the city that never sleeps. Maybe it's the stark contrast of the skyscraper skyline juxtaposed with the natural landscape of the forest, but the park serves to balance out a city of excess. I could go on forever conveying to you how enamored with the city I am, but even then I wouldn't come close to relaying the experience. If you do one crazy thing Photos by David Gatley / The Pride �What does the Day of Silence mean to me? Growing up in Virginia Beach, VA, I know first hand what silence meant to me. I'm from the birthplace of the Christian Coalition and in my backyard were Pat Robertson and the 700 Club! I was teased, picked on, bullied, beat up, harassed, and made to feel insignificant. Religious groups and individuals always used their teachings to justify their intolerance of me. Growing up Catholic, this caused me a great deal of pain and caused me to leave our family's church. I was no longer welcome. How can this happen? If I tried to ask questions or explain my perspective, it was assumed I must have a personal agenda or was trying to "recruit" new members. I was quieted! I was relegated to the fringes. If I do not occupy your space, you do not have to listen to me. I was silenced! In honor of those who have been silenced, some of us will take an entire day to show our support by remaining silent ourselves. Critics say that this isn't educational and it serves no purpose. However, I think it is educational. I have faith that this act of silence can and will jumpstart conversation. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Even though we cannot see it, I believe there is a desire to find that mutual respect. We will onlyfindit by talking - and listening - to each other. What is the Day of Silence®? Now in its tenth year, the Day of Silence, a project of GLSEN® or the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Educa- tion Network in collaboration with the United States Student Association (USSA), is a student-led day of action where those who support making anti-LGBT bullying and harassment unacceptable in schools participate in events to recognize and protest the discrimination and harassment—in effect, the silencing—experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) students and their allies. The Day of Silence® is an annual opportunity for students to tell their truths about anti-LGBT bullying, violence and harassment. A GLSEN® commissioned survey, From Teasing to Torment: School Climate in America conducted by Harris Interactive, found that sexual orientation and gender expression are among the top three reasons teens report that students are harassed at their schools. GLSEN's 2003 National School Climate Survey found that 4 out of 5 LGBT students report verbal, sexual or physical harassment at school and more than 30% report missing at least a day of school in the past month out of fear for their personal safety. The LGBTA will participate in the 10th Annual Day of Silence event, Wednesday April 26th. Come join us - in silence - to show your support for those who have been silenced against their will. We will meet at 12:00 noon in front of the Kellogg Library. If you would like to participate in this event feel free to stop by and receive a "Silence Card" to show your support. Jay Franklin E xercise in G ender N ormality V iolation I am a white male, six feet tall and a solid 165 pounds. I'm also a Women's Studies and Service Sector Management Major. Recently I arrived at school wearing a tight purple skirt, a poncho and carrying a red purse. Walking across campus, a guy yelled, "Sick!", The reason may be that "real men" are socialized to define themselves by what they are not (women or homosexuals). By distancing themselves from anything considered female or homosexual men can signify that they are in fact masculine. Crying out is useful as it alerts others that one is not to be identified as feminine or homosexual and in fact must be a "real man". Today on campus a man was carrying a pitchfork. Pitchforks are infinitely more dangerous than skirts, yet it hardly raised an eyebrow. What is it about a skirt that provokes such a reaction? If you're wondering why I would come to school dressed as I did, it was an exercise in violating gender norms. Gender norms or "gender scripts" are ideas associated with being either female or male. They are per formative behaviors. By per formative, I mean they are a social constructed script, "a part one plays", when in the presence of others. By following the script other people know how to react; we have all been socialized to WHAT ARE YOU DOING THIS SUMMER? The Perfect Summer Job!

We all recognize gender stereotypes. For example, if I say "nurse" what gender image comes to mind? If I say "President", what gender image comes to mind? Judith Butler, who is considered to be the creator of modern 'queer theory' and an expert on gender, argues that nothing about one's gender isfixed.If this is true, then our notions of what is female and male are not innate. Considering that Western notions of gender are not universal, Butler's point seems a valid one. Margaret Mead, author of Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies, studies three separate cultures and suggests that which we call feminine and masculine are not linked to biological sex, but rather to social conditioning. In Western society the first question we tend to ask of a newborn babe is, "Is it a girl or a boy?". Based on the child's biological sex, it will be assigned a socially constructed gender. The child's gender will then determine where the child works, how much the child earns, and how the child is viewed and treated by society. Gender seems to be odd criteria to base all of this on especially if gender is not an innate characteristic. If we can accept that gender stereotypes are socially constructed and not universal or innate, then it is possible to change our notions of female and male. It is possible to do away with the binary that woman and men are opposites. I recommend we challenge the notion that women like pink, are submissive and demure /and men like blue, are aggressive and authoritative. I recommend this because my experience of wearing a dress to school made me think about how a woman might feel when she goes for a job interview for a position of authority mat has traditionally been viewed a male position. I do not think anyone would yell remarks at her backside, but I think she may be concerned that people will shake their heads and say, no that doesn'tfitin our narrow view of female / male. We could learn from cultures that do not subscribe to Western notions of female/male. Blurring the gender lines would result in more women in leadership positions and more men being able to express emotion and vulnerability. I think I'm not alone in my thinking, a woman dressed in a smart looking business suit gave me —in my dress— - a knowing smile. Maybe she understood that breaking down gender stereotypes is empowering to everyone. Maybe she was even a little bit flattered, after all mimicry is the most sincere form offlattery.-Terrance Jaffer �THE PRIDE SPORTS Tuesday; April 18, 2006 Jock Talk With Josh: NFL Draft Jimmy Williams.

Moss is the question mark of the wide receiver class. He kind of reminds me of Steve Smith from the Carolina Panthers. Moss is small, but has explosive speed. He could, however, also be severely undersized and be a bust in the NFL. If the Chargers somehow found a way to move up in the draft, look for them to take offensive tackle Winston Justice from USC. They brought Justice in to talk with him, but he is expected to be a top 15 pick after impressive draft workouts. The Chargers would go this route, because they need to protect their young quarterback, Phillip Rivers. The quarterback will definitely go through some growing pains, and several offensive linemen always seem to go down, so having a young guy like Justice would only help. What could also affect their draft outlook is that the Chargers are supposedly looking' to trade linebacker Donnie Edwards, for a draft pick, most likely. If Edwards goes, then the Chargers have a linebacker spot to fill and could possibly have another pick in the first or second round. After A.J. Hawk, Ernie Sims from Florida State is the next rated linebacker. I don't like him, however, because he is under sized. Chad Greenway from Iowa is rated next, but he really isn't that strong, even though he does have nice size. I would love to see Bobby Carpenter from Ohio State get picked by the Chargers. He is underrated because his college teammate, Hawk, got a lot of the attention in school. Carpenter reminds me of Shawne Merriman from last season, I was very high on Merriman last season because he could play defensive end and linebacker in college and was also overlooked. Carpenter fits that exact mold and could be a steal in the late first round if the Chargers could pick up another pick. Whatever the Chargers do, I just hope they don't draft another Ryan Leaf.

Could you use some help? Perhaps The Worst-Case Survival Handbook: Dating And Sex by Piven, Borgenicht, and Worick is for you. Have you ever wondered how to tell if your date is an axe murderer? A con artist? Or even (gasp) married? This is the book for you! In it you will find definitive hints and helps to determine these things, and so much more! In the first section, called Defensive Dating, there is even a section on how to determine the gender of your date (in case it is in question). Full of many helpful hints, like "How To Deal With A Date Who Moves Too Fast" (to stop unwanted kisses, claim you have a cold, or merely cough or sneeze in their face); to "How To Fend Off A Pickup Artist" (Do not accept drinks, or cause an "accident" by inadvertently knocking glasses, empty or full, into their lap when you turn back to face them). But always remember to apologize (insincerely). In "How To Escape From A Bad Date", tips range from having a friend call you with news of a family "emergency" to advice on how to slip away unnoticed, complete with quick disguise ideas you can implement in the restroom until you can make your escape. This includes addition or subtraction of clothing, cosmetics, accessories, even changes in hairstyle and posture. Even borrowing an apron from the hired help can be useful in a truly desperate situation. This chapter also contains instructions and techniques for breaking and escaping through the bathroom window (Use the wastebasket, toilet plunger, or paper towel dispenser to break the glass, and then use your jacket or sweater to remove the shards until you can escape). In "How to Survive If You Have Excessive Gas", tips range from limiting the type and amount of food you eat with gas-forming food identified, as well as specific postures you can assume to allow the gas to escape "Kneel on the floor, bend forward, and stretch your arms out in front of you. Keep your buttocks high in the air..." in the privacy of the restroom, of course. In "How To Survive If Your Credit Card Is Declined" in a restaurant, advice ranges from offering collateral or providing references, to the "Dine and Dash". In a step by step process, the dine and dash option is outlined: be prepared to 1.Accept the consequences (never going back again). 2. Tell your date the plan. 2. Plan your route of escape. 3. Wait until the staff is busy. 4. Pretend to pay the bill with cash. 5. Walk confidently out the door. 6. As soon as you are outside, run. 7. If you are being followed, do not go directly to your car. Of course stiffing a restaurant is illegal. You can arrange to pay the restaurant through a third party, but it is probably not a good idea to go back yourself. In "H ow To Determine If Your Date Is Married", (always a good idea) the warning signs to look for are: a pale band of flesh around the left ring finger, not being able to get their "home phone number, refusals to allow any public displays of affection, tell-tale signs left in their car like someone else's cosmetics, pacifiers, toys, etc. Inversely, these are things to avoid in "How To Have An Affair And Not Get Caught", as well as how to organize a series of convincing alibis and witnesses to help explain your absences. Of course, if you always pay in cash you leave no paper trail, and keeping a change of clothes in your car eliminates laundry mysteries such as lipstick stains and strange cologne smells which could give you away. Even topics such as how to fake an orgasm, remove difficult clothing, have sex in small spaces (like elevators and airplanes) are addressed. Difficult issues like how to survive waking up next to someone who's name you don't remember and how to properly stop a wedding are enumerated and explained. In the back there is also a helpful appendix of bad pick-up lines to avoid, and even a basic draft of the "It's not you, it's me" break-up letter, with appropriate modifiers to fit each relationship. The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook is a series that always contains loads of useful information from professionals in their field, and they are a lot of fun to read.

Options for this week's moviegoers include: American Dreamz, The Sentinel, Silent Hill, and Her Line of Fire. American Dreamz, a satire of reality talent shows like American Idol, tells the story of America consumed by the competition between Sally played by Mandy Moore and a young man named Omer, a lover of show tunes played by new actor named Sam Golzari. The President, played by Hugh Grant, desperate for some of America's attention, signs up for the show's season finale. The Sentinel is a new action drama starring Michael Douglas as Pete Garrison.

Before the days of "Laguna Beach", Gateley was the director of development at the Lifetime Channel and worked on the biography show "Intimate Portrait." "Power Girls" aired in March, 2005, and focused on a New York based public relations firm owned by Lizzi Grubman and her four interns. There were only six epi- sodes, but they made quite an impact and brought a lot of attention to the world of public relations. Laguna Beach aired in September of 2004 and was an instant hit. According to the nytimes.com, when Gateley pitched the show "Laguna Beach", she used the 1989 movie "Heathers" as her inspiration. When asked if it would be possible to find an alpha clique of friends and have them all be interesting and beautiful; Gateley responded, "They're a dime a dozen in Southern California; they're everywhere," according to the nytimes.com. The newest show that just debuted in March 2006 follows ten professional models living together in an apartment complex in the heart of South Beach as they make their way in the world of competitive modeling. "The Hills" is set to air this year in a spin off of "Laguna Beach," but only focuses on one character, Lauren "LC" Conrad, as she moves on with life to L.A where she goes to fashion school and interns for Teen Vogue. The shows claim to be reality, but the stories told are far from average. The shows have been criticized for being scripted, but according to Anwsers.com, the show is filmed with multiple cameras allowing the show to be edited as a traditional narrative rather than a documentary with confessionals, like seen in the "Real World". Liz Gateley was quoted saying on PerezHilton.com that "there are times when something big goes down the night before and we'll ask,'can you wait until the cameras are there to talk about it?"' They may be real people in somewhat real situations, but that doesn't mean there isn't a little help from editing to make for good T.V. Next time you're at home watching your favorite reality show, don't forget that there is a story to be told and the editors make it happen.

Photo by Matthew Schramm / The Pride HAS SLEVINS' LUCK RUN OUT? BY PIYAMAS SABLAN Pride Staff Writer "Lucky Number Slevin", directed by Paul McGuigan, is a new take on the classic theme of revenge, which has weaved its thread through the plot lines of numerous movies. Someone gets shot within minutes, of the opening scene, giving the audience a peek at the action, guns, and gore to follow. Bruce Willis plays an assassin named Mr. Goodkat and is a necessary evil in the lives of the unlawful abiding head honchos of the criminal underworld. Willis plays his usual unemotional tough guy character, firing one-liners throughout the movie. Trailers of the movie might lead some to believe that Willis plays the leading role in the movie, but the main character, named Slevin, is actually played by Josh Hartnett. Slevin bobs and weaves through a series of unlucky circumstances brought about by the two main criminal bosses in New York, who have mistaken his identity for that of his friend, Nick Fisher. The main bosses are The Boss, played by Morgan Freeman, and Shlomo, aka The Rabbi, played by Befi Kingsley. Unfortunately for Slevin, the bosses ddn't believe and don't care that he's not Nick. Slevin is forced to repay the financial debt Nick has incurred on the bosses' bookies' financial records. There is a surprise plot twist towards the end of the movie, which might be deemed predictable by some avid moviegoers. Slevin's self described "inability to worry" sometimes comes across the silver screen as arrogance. Hartnett fans may be swayed to watch the movie for pure visual enjoyment watching Hartnett traipse around New York in nothing but a towel for a good portion of the first half. The dialog was a bit forced, and it seemed like there was more than the necessary amount of incessant banter and cryptic dialog between characters. A weak attempt at romance is thrust into the storyline with the introduction of Lindsey played by Lucy Liu. Lindsey is quirky, but her child-like awe and acceptance of Slevin's ties to the criminal world is borderline irritating. There was no chemistry between Liu and Hartnett, so their characters looked forced into romance. The storyline jumps around from the past to the future and from here to there, so I don't recommend missing a scene to relieve your bladder unless you don't mind being discombobulated upon your return. Overall, "Lucky Number Slevin" is a visually stimulating movie for those who appreciate hitman induced murder scenes and for those who aren't looking for an emotional roller coaster ride.

XIII NO. 12 Cougars win national recycling competition Campus diversity showcased C ampus earns the top spot in Recyclemania BY CHEZARE MILO Pride Staff Writer International Fair entertains and informs students It's official: Cal State San Marcos is the best. CSUSM beat out 46 other college campuses including Harvard, Yale and Brown in the recycling rate category oftheRecylemania competition which ended April 9. According to the Recylemania website CSUSM Bowling Pin BY FELIPE ZANARTU For The Pride Being exposed to the perspectives of a diverse range of cultures is one of the stated goals of CSUSM, and the International Fair offered students some of the things promised in our mission statement. Dancing, food, language, and poetry attracted students to the largest event of the year put on by the International Club and its sponsors the University Global Affairs Committee and Associated Students Inc. The 3rd annual International Fair was held on Thursday April 14 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in front of University Hall. The fair had numerous tables representing countries around the world. Everything from Brazilian martial arts to tango dancing to international cuisine occupied the nearly 300 people who attended the event. Following a fashion show featuring garments from orient, the group Abada-Capoiera preformed w on t he c om- Guy trophy petition with a recycling rate of 43.65 percent. ^Recycling rate is determined by calculating the percentage of recycled materials in relation to trash by weight. "California State_ University San Marcos consistently posted a 40+ percent recycling rate to dominate in the new Recycling Rate contest," reads the Recyclemania website. Second place in the recycling rate category is held by Tufts University which trailed the Cougars by 2.26 percent. According to Recyclemania our closest competition, "Tufts University closed the gap with Cal State San Marcos to less than three percentage points, but never wound up getting closer than that." For winning the contest CSUSM will receive the "Bowling Pin Guy" trophy and a halfpage advertisement in all of the other competing schools' newspapers announcing our achievement. The materials CSUSM recycled during the contest in addition to the other participating schools totaled to over 10.4 million pounds. According to Recyclemania this amount of recyclables is equivalent to, "Removing 3,484 passenger cars from the road for one year, 132 acres of forest preserved from deforestation and the annual emissions from the power consumption of 2,066 households" "We are excited and so proud of the campus for their effort," said Green Team Member Mui See RECYCLE, page 4 Photo by Phoenix Lindgren / The Pride See FAIR, page 2 Students line up for food at one of the many club booths.

Master of ceremonies Dr. Carlos von Son said that the Brazilians had to mask their martial arts training with art and music in order to secretly train for revolt against their oppressive government and this resulted in a crafted art combining defense training, music, and dance. Tango dancing from Argentina was taught to students by professional tango instructors. Many students had a chance to see this seductive and romantic dance in action before being invited to try it on the dance floor. Jewish dance from Israel was then presented. The dance was easy to learn and most of the crowd was able to participate. The dancing filled peoples faces with smiles and laughter. Students from the Latino Club and MEChA danced to Mexican folk music or salsa and meringue. "This event housed spectacular dances which give a chance for us to observe different cultures, their customs, and spirit," said Italian student Roxana Righetti, "this gives students here at Cal State San Marcos, a chance to see our diverse cultures around campus." There was a wide variety of international cuisine available at the event. Food included nachos and agua fresca from Mexico, to Japanese tea and traditional salads from the east.

The poems offered blessings of hope, remarked upon times of sorrow, and expressed messages about spirit. Most students thought the fair was both fun and educational. Some students cited the university mission statement that talks about diversity. Student Cinthia Tirado said that she liked the fact that this campus displayed different cultures on our campus. "When the campus talks about diversity in the mission statement this definably helps us appreciate it," said Tirado. A student at the model United Nation's (UN) booth offered her perspective of the event. "We like to contribute to the international vibe on campus and open students up to new ideas about the United Nations," said political science major Jennifer Runge at the UN booth. One student gave her opinion as to why multicultural events on campus such as the International Fair are important. "It helps us to understand different cultures from different countries. I think it's important to know more about what's out there. Especially in the U.S. where many people don't know much about other countries," said student Jana Somolova. The organizers of the event were more than pleased by the participation in this years fair. "It went really, really good! We hope to provide and encourage students around the campus to learn, share, and celebrate different cultures," said International Club President Emily Ng.

FRANKEL Pride Staff Writer With the stress of finals and fall 2005 registration quickly approaching, stress levels can reach an all time high for many students at CSUSM. In the midst of this end of the semester chaos, don't forget about the Computer Competency Requirement (CCR). The CCR is a mandatory test for all baccalaureate students at CSUSM regardless of their major that must be completed within two semesters of attending the university. According to the Instructional and Information Technology Services website, "After the end of the second semester, registering for any further classes at Cal State San Marcos will be restricted until the CCR is fulfilled." So, if you've been here two semesters and you haven't taken the test yet...get to it. What is the purpose of the CCR? Mary Atkins, CCR coordinator said, "The CCR was mandated by the faculty senate in an attempt to bring everybody who is a student here up to the same level of computer skills, so that when they walked into the classroom, the faculty would know that this set of students had these particular skills." The CCR covers five main areas: computer concepts and terminology, soft-ware ethics and virus protection and prevention, Internet browsers and email, basic word processing, and basic spreadsheet concepts. Students are required to take and pass all five sections with a grade of " C" or better in order to fulfill the requirement.

This is the question that every graduate dreads as family and friends offer their congratulations. The most obvious answer, of course, is to get a job and start paying back those student loans, but there are other options. "Delaying the Real, World: A Twentysomething's Guide to Seeking Adventure," is a book written by Colleen Kinder that encourages new graduates to take a year off and go out and accomplish something other than going to work. Her mission is to get young people to realize that there is a small window of opportunity for them to follow their passions before they get tied down with a career or a family. Sometimes this generation of "Twixters" is criticized for not wanting to grow up and take on responsibility, but traveling to another country and getting a job can be a life-changing experience. In fact, there is even a fellowship offer for $2,500 from www.delayingtherealworld.com for someone who proposes a unique and worthwhile adventure. The fellowship might be a longshot, but it is worthwhile to pursue the idea of adventure. There are many organizations that are able to make arrangements for you to work in another country (see box). They arrange for the job, obtain the work permits, provide insurance, book a place to stay and provide practical advice. Many of these jobs are to teach English, and all you need is your Bachelor's degree and a TEFL Certificate, which takes about a month to earn. There are many advantages to teaching or working in a foreign country. You will get to experience a country by totally immersing yourself in the language and the culture. You will have time to really see something* other than the usual tourist traps, and will gain confidence in yourself by facing unique situations. Upon your return to the USA, you will be able to list an awesome experience on your resume and show your potential employer that you have the capability to handle any challenges that may come your way. You do not have to go through an agency to line up one of these jobs, but your parents might feel a little more comfortable about , your adventure. Many potential adventurers make all the arrangements on their own and get information from people who have posted on message boards.

The video said that 60 percent of ocean pollution stems from urban runoff, and only 6 percent of America's coastline is" monitored by the Environmental Protection Agency for water quality. Sekich said everyone in the community contributes to urban runoff so it's up to each individual to contribute to the clean up effort, whether it be through education, beach clean ups, or awareness. "For me, Earth Day is every day," Sekich said The Surfrider Foundation organizes events like their "Hold On To Your Butts," drive which brings awareness to cigarette filter pollution, and monitors water conditions with their Blue Water Task Force. They also legally protect the coast and educate students like 8-year-old Ezekiel Lopez. Are we supposed to recycle?" Lopez asked after the video. Of course, Sekich answered, and for that, she gave Lopez a hat, which he said he liked. Free stuff is one way the event recruited about 50 students. Ulbert contacted Sun Diego, BY JON RODLEY For The Pride Free pizza and hot wings lured students to a Surfrider celebration for Earth Day yesterday put on by the ASI Programming Board. "For April, Earth Day was the only important holiday I felt needed to be addressed," said Tera Ulbert, Director of Educational Programming for ASI; she organized the event. Stefanie Sekich, Chapter Coordinator for the Surfrider Foundation, showed a video called "Keepers of Coast," which illustrated pollution concerns for San Diego and the world. The video showed surfers dropping into gorgeous waves and clean water, contrasted by images of Imperial Beach in San Diego County where plastic debris and other byproducts of urban runoff cover the sand at a disgusting rate. The video stated some important facts about the ocean environment: 50 percent of the U.S. population lives within an hour to the coast; these cities are built in areas of the water cycle where fallen rain collects oil, settled air pollution, pesticides, fertilizers, and other pollutants like cigarette butts. The effect of this urban runoff ZERO CLOSING Photos courtesy of Jon Rodley donate T-shirts and hats, videos, and a surfboard. "It was really good that they were happy to be involved," Ulbert said. After the free food from Pizza Hut and the presentation by Surfrider, Mike Gener and Ryan Thompson of Stoked on Life showed a bodyboarding video they produced titled "Aquatic Ninjas." Later this week, Earth Club, a co-sponsor of yesterday's presentation, will host a free planting ceremony today at 11 a.m. at the library and a beach cleanup and bonfire Friday at Oceanside Pier.

FRANKEL & JENNIFER IANNI Pride Staff Writers Students are also given a chance to write a general comment about the professor and the course itself. For some students, consulting RateMyProfessors.com is a vital step in the process of registering for classes. Kellie Klopf, a third year business major, said that she used the website before registering for her classes. "It's been really good," she said. "Actually, I picked all of my teachers for this semester, and I'm pretty satisfied with my choices." "I think it's really good to have a peer assessment from people who've had the instructors previously," said Cindy Roper, a senior liberal studies major. "I especially think it's a good idea if students use it responsibly." Although Roper has never posted a review on a professor before, she plans to this semester. "I have a teacher that I don't feel is very qualified this year and I think that if others can benefit from that knowledge, I would like to tell them about it," she said. Students from all over the nation have been inspired, just like Roper to tell of both their joys and their grievances. "From students, the response is almost universally positive; from professors, it is more mixed," said Swapceinski. So do the professors at CSUSM actually look at their own postings? "Oh, I'm sure they do. If I was on a website like that I'd wanna see what people thought about me," said Ashley Dunn, a freshman biochemistry major. "I don't think they do, and I don't think they should. I think it's for students only," said Klopf. One professor admitted to looking at her own posting and to those of her col- Hardworking, ambitious, eager-to-learn student seeks Trigonometry teacher who is knowledgeable, grades fairly, explains coursework clearly—andby the way, being hot is a must. Ever wish it was this easy to select the perfect professor? RateMyProfessors.com may be the answer you've been looking for. With over 530,000 professors rated by former students (393 from CSUSM), students are able to get the insider scoop on their professors for free. Information is easily accessible with regards to which professors are student favorites, which are easy graders and which ones you might actually learn something from. These features make RateMyProfessors.com a handy tool when selecting future courses. John Swapceinski, the president and founder of the website, explained his inspiration for RateMyProfessors.com. "I was attending San Jose State University in Î999 and had the misfortune to take a class with a particularly dastardly professor. She was an unfair grader and downright nasty to her students, so I decided to start RateMyProfessors.com to warn the world about her and other professors like her." Seven years, and many other disgruntled students later, Swapceinski's dream, has most definitely been realized. The website rates professor performance in five categories: average easiness, helpfulness, clarity, hotness, and total quality.

Frankel / The Pride leagues. "I think it's always interesting to find out what students think about how we're doing and it's really important to us... I'm always interested in getting more specific information about what the class is like for them," said Martha StoddardHolmes, a professor in the literature and writing department. Not everyone agrees that RateMyProfessors.com is a reliable tool. "It's not the sort of thing that I place a lot of confidence in, or that I would trust, or that I would allow to influence any professional decisions or activities with my colleagues and faculty," said Michael McDuffie, Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. "I want to make it very clear that I have a very low opinion of this website." When asked if professors should be concerned about a website such as this, McDuffie said, "To the extent that the website presents opinions and information about their professional activity, Their reputation as scholars, as teachers and as people, then, yes, I think they have reasons to be concerned about the website, just as they might be concerned about any potentially slanderous or libelous publication that would involve them. There's basically no due process attached to the website." Students don't just use this as a way to criticize their professors. Teachers might be pleased to find out that "over 65% of the ratings are positive," according to the website. The people behind RateMyProfessors. com maintain that the views expressed on the website are purely the thoughts and experiences of student contributors. They acknowledge on their website that although the ratings are not statistically valid, "They [the ratings] are a listing of opinions and should be judged as such. However we often receive emails stating that the ratings are uncannily accurate, especially for schools with over 1000 ratings." Bottom line: RateMyProfessors.com's only obligation is to the students. "Where else can you find out what others think of an instructor? When you have the option of choosing a teacher, wouldn't you really like some information? It also gives you, the user, a place to voice your opinion. It gives you a place to make a difference in your education," the website stated. In the past, there have been attempts to sue or shut down the website; however, it is protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution. "I get contacted by professors every day, and I get threatened with legal action by them on pretty much a weekly basis," Swapceinski said. If teachers don't like what they read, RateMyProfessors.com advises them to change their perspective. "Think of this site as an opportunity to hear what your students normally keep secret from you." One of the more lighthearted aspects of the website is the hotness of the professor, which is indicated by a chili pepper next to the professor's name. While not taken as a serious consideration when choosing a professor, most students find it to be an amusing aspect of the site. "I think that's kind of over-the-top.. .it's fun," said Roper. Professor Stoddard-Holmes saw the humor in the hotness ranking and stated, "I'm always intrigued by the chili peppers. It's f un to see who got them. To try and figure out what they're there for. In some cases, it seems pretty obvious, but in other situations it seems like it's not necessarily about youth and beauty, but it's about power and charisma." While controversial to some, RateMyProfessors.com is popular with students. This website provides an open forum for students to voice their opinions to other students and to the faculty. With registration for Fall 2005 quickly approaching, RateMyProfessors.com might be the tool that you've been searching for. Have a hot semester!

Q x n M - F 8am-6pm & Sat 310 S. Twin Oaks Valley Rd, Ste 107. S an Marcos. CA 92078 �By Bryan Mason For The Pride First off; I need to give some props to the paper for its front page, the breaking news from last week: CSUSM RANKED AMONG THE BEST IN RECYCLING. Hot Damn. I mean, best in recycling; I'm still trying to catch my breath from this hard-hitting bulletin. Maybe, it's just me, but is recycling that big of a deal that we need to proclaim it to the world? I know when I picked up the paper and read the headlines I almost fainted. And I also loved the fact that things CSUSM students would actually care about, like the article of getting a job a ffii graduation, gets a second seat to the breaking recycling news. I mean come on, is recy- cling bigger than what we are all here for, to better our education and eventually get a job? We are out here busting our Asses trying to get good grades, get a good education, and get a degree, If recycling is-so damn important that we need to back page actual news that some students could learn from and use to better their job acquiring chances, then our priorities are seriously down the drain. Between the recycling and the repetitive news about eating disorders, I neariy put the paper down and just walked away. However I trudged on and kept reading, and then I came to the second page of the variety page, and found Concert Etiquette. I would expect to see Opera Etiquette or Church Etiquette, but aren't concerts the things you go to where everyone is f just wfld and doesn't s eemto give a rat's ass about what they are doing for a brief couple of hours? Somebody needs to get back to me on that one. Especially if wearing deodorant and not getting killed in the mosh pit {which can easily be avoided if you stand back) are on your priority list, I suggest just not going to concerts, it will save you a lot of "pouting time*' and money. The paper is just filled with advertisements, even though Brian is doing an awesome job selling the ads, it seems that the paper quality still needs to grow, because it doesn't matter how many ads we sell or how many coupons the reader can cut out to get free tans, the articles still need to improve. Including my On the note of my own two articles on Motorcycling and Cultural Absorption (which the title was misprinted, way to go guys) I'll let you guys make your own judgments. And for the Zach's article, which had a bitter, bitter tone, I think that it's great that he is voicing his opinion on "jocks" and "dykes," but I think I could have found a few choice words to leave out. And for the Arts and Entertainment section, I'll give props to both Chris and Matt for getting the word out that "Meet the Barkers" and the new 50 Cent album both equal up to shit. I mean come on, everyone knows that 50 Cent has just totally gotten too hyped up in himself and we all saw this coming after his first album could stay in your CD play for no more than ten minutes. If TV and radio got any worse I would imagine there would be many more cults and mass suicide groups for me to join. I'm still counting down the days until someone finally goes berserk because they've seen one too many celebrity reality shows and goes on a shooting rampage. There were good things about the paper, like the layout and Jason really deserves credit for it. The back page was awesome, as a matter of fact the whole arts and entertainment part had ridiculously good layout And a quick congrats to Derek Heid, who did the Ombudsman last week, for stepping up to the plate, balls out and writing a good critique. Despite all the bitching about sports and the constant battles, the paper is improving and I don't want to sound like a broken record, constantly bitching about the paper. So with that note, I'm going to go sit back, relax, and bid you farewell. Want to tell me to go to hell? Send it to mason025@csusm. edu. OR VOL.

What is bugging youP BY YVONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer Most of the time I am a fairly contented person cruising through life and running my errands as expeditiously as possible. Sometimes though, I get to thinking a little too much about the way stores set up their "friendly" policies. Now I love to get my fix of Starbucks at one of the stores conveniently located at approximately half-mile increments from my job to school, but one thing drives me nuts. Why do they even bother to ask your name and misspell it on a cup when they insist on shouting out "non-fat-grande-latte-sugarfree-vanilla-extra-hot-extrafoam" when you are the only one standing at the pickup counter? Wouldn't it be really simple to just say your name? Blockbuster is even worse. After they have checked out your DVD's and you have paid, they yell out your selections loud enough for everyone else to hear. Maybe I'm crazy, but I just chose those titles a few moments before and I'm pretty sure I haven't forgotten what I just picked out. Is it some sort of insidious plot to point out what a loser you are on a Friday night by yourself in a video store? I guess I must be a grump, because I think overfriendly service in a store is annoying. For example, when I walk into Millers Outpost, they yell across the storefront, "Hi, how are you doing today". Well, I might be doing just fine, but I sure don't feel like yelling back to them. And, what if I am not doing okay, am I supposed to yell that back to them? I would much rather be able to find someone easily when I need help, but somehow they seem to mysteriously disappear. On a different note, I don't know if you have noticed, but someone has kidnapped all of the people who do radio and TV voiceovers and replaced them with one man and one woman. You know the voices. You hear them on the Carl's Jr. commercial and on car commercials. They speak in a monotonous nasal voice, trying to sound as disinterested and banal as possible. The first time you hear their voices it is different and it catches your attention, but now advertisers use their voices in about every other commercial. In fact the guy voice even took over an entire radio station. Star 100.7 used to have a variety of DJ's, but now this one guy drones on about being "Jack" and how they don't care if we don't like what they play. Well, I am glad "I don't know Jack," because he really bugs me. What is bugging you? ¡kp%€ Mo^e C^ilSM Gerrit S o Y oa.

With so much going on in everyone's lives, that passing glimpse of love gets smaller ^ and smaller, and as we interpret the looks of fellow people around campus, and the world, it seems that judgment is determined by their persona, or "style." Looking a certain way is hot, or in. But j if we only get a glimpse of true love, is that love incorpoPhoto illustration by rated into our thoughts? When we love is it due to the fact Jason Ëncabo / The Pride that we are told to or because we need to? Is love a necessity? In short, yes. This love we experience is passing by and if we don't grab hold, the rapids of life will send us on tragic lonely ride. Sam Beam of Iron and Wine said, "Love to say this to your face, I'll Love you only" in his CD "Our Endless Numbered Days." Describing the opportunity that we throw away everyday. That contact we make with someone and never truly express ourselves is an invitation left unopened. But why is it that with passing love and the occurrence of boyfriends and girlfriends into our lives, it fills such a deep and passionate void? Is it that once our other half is found we suddenly awaken from a primordial slumber and feel true feelings for the first time Is college the last chance to find someone that feels the same way? How many times has love struck you and you felt as if nothing could possibly go wrong? Were all these times just a dream until we find our better halves? Love leaves us in many predicaments; it can promote unrecognizable joy and turn around and hit us with unrelenting pain. There are so many questions out there unanswered and it seems that life and love coincide in a strange unending quest for happiness. Ending with our demise some search for comfort in the love from others, while others give up the fight and eventually find love in a bottle. Whatever type of love you wish to find, the way to reach true attainment takes a coerce sense of judgment that forces us to put forth the things we love and live life without them. Taking on a challenge that cannot be burdened on any one person. It seems that love is something merely attained in some other dimension and that when we are so lucky to find love here it slips from our grasp in a universal second. Our lives are a blink in the eye of the universe, and that love is deemed nonexistent. Is this primitive state of consciousness forming around us making us realize what we are doing wrong? For all I know the person that I could have found love within has already walked in and out of my life, and for a few moments of jittery eye contact we knew what was happening subconsciously. But when I try and look for new love I just see empty faces, is it because I am broken hearted? No, I am overwhelmed at the enjoyment I get everyday out of life. It just seems like everyone is everyone else. And the new faces walking around me are just a blur of make-up and shaded highlights. I long tofindsomeone that can stand out in a crowd and when I glance over and make that jittery eye contact, I feel a spark inside that ignites a flame. Thinking back on the loves past there were sparks, but nothing equivalent to even a small Bunsen burner. Does this love exist in our lives and with the billions of people on this earth, is it relative to even look or will love eventually find us? There are no definite answers and the fact that love is an abstract feeling is even more complex due to the intangible possibilities. Whatever love is it seems that it has a place in all our hearts, and the person we have always known existed for us will appear in time. Or, as many of us that have already found that Special One (grimace), it seems that others still have to look, and hope that someone out there can compel us to make something more of ourselves, to finally achieve that happiness that is long overdue. Questions, comments, or maybe even a romantic evening on the town, here is where to send them mason025@csusm.edu. Please recycle this paper is typically understood to be created-from, whereas Hate prefers to be observed-by. Nonetheless, when considering their shared primal and political origins, the intellectual mutations rise up like reflex quicker than instinct, words taking numbers like drugs and weapons, making lists that would be holy icons through symmetry. No gilding necessary, no glaze of blood, nor baptism of fire; we know already the folly in attempting to devalue that which so persists in its _ _ _ _ _ usefulness. And 7 is never deadly, only lucky at first and dead at last. 1.) Ire Diverse and adverse through the diversions and advertisements, the general course of modern life finds a lot to 'hate' in the name of distaste. This lowest form relates mostly to annoyances, things that, alone, require more effort to complain about than remedy. The loss of dignity in waiting through a pop tart's sale of a diet pop really only equates to the blood lost from a mosquito bite. It is best not to scratch the memory, but we do. Just the same; it is best to swat back when we can, and we'd better. 2.) Spite Easily confused for more serious incarnations of Hate, this second tier is too impartial, and yet again too draining to be dangerous to anyone but the spiteful. This resentment of anyone happy and condescension over anyone unhappy can, indeed, lead to more serious problems. A little art, or kindness for its own sake will usually dilute, if not expel the affliction. 3.) Offense Attack insists destruction in anything above the parasite, and offense, whether it is taken for the sake of one's religion or one's child, should only be taken for the sake of extinction rather than merely loss of territory (or lack of gain). It is the difficulty in making this distinction that keeps Offense such a dangerous Hate to wear on any occasion. Allow no shame in preserving the existence of me and mine, and take all responsibility for the destruction of another's, knowing the justification that succeeds the act is rarely any kind of justice. 4.) Vengeance If focused on the genuine source of the offense, and known as a means toward regaining peace rather than sharing misery, Vengeance is no less natural or spiritual, powerful or beautiful than any other human experience. Transforming the burden of Hate into pacifism requires an excess of restraint, a lack of courage, and a reckless affair with foresight. 5.) Prejudice The capacity to categorize and qualify is essential to the survival of any species, particularly those as curious as our own, however, overused explanations must never be used as a justifications. Prejudicial hatred serves nothing but immature oversimplification and lazy self aggrandizement. Our negative associations and identity crises are our own problems. Identifying a Hate for a type of manufactured personality can hone the critical faculties, but hating a type of person only lends your life to debasing causes. 6.) Genocide This overused term and under reconciled phenomenon can be defined as a complete surrender toward the impossible cause of directly annihilating any single aspect of a species. A common example would be a domesticated fowl's reflex to peck at blood, thus becoming bloody, thus being pecked at, and so on. Destroying all that resemble the source of one's Offense results only in the widening, thus dissolving of the very categorizing faculties once valued. Genocide is valuable to nature only in that it regulates the populations of species that, if allowed to assimilate their variations entirely, would expand to the point of eradicating all other life. Ants are small and occasionally warlike, while humans are large and will fight over anything. 7.) Psychosis The answer must rise, if long after the chickens are roosting on either side of their eggs, whether our species first developed from solitary into social or vice versa. Even if we must conquer time before we know the past, it will be worth it for the light shed onto the factors that incite or incident a psychotic, a human whose deepest existence demands the suffering and destruction of human life. Difficult as it is to approach from intellectual distance, even from aesthetic exploration, the spiritual and emotional approachesfightonly the symptoms, providing barriers rather than vaccinations: The key may lie in empathy, the diplomat between Love's sympathy and Hatred's selfishness, for the lock is surely placed between the Psychotic as a human and yourself as a Psychotic. �THE PRIDE A Tuesday, April 19, 2005 O cJQ cmhim^HB L eetee by P*o£ Jane Cfaaaee lpm, Arts 111 ASI Blood Drive—free snacks, flip H UH Photo by Phoenix Lindgren / The Pride wiches, delicious salads, traditional corned beef and cabbage, to steaks of all kinds.

That's where George Lutz is mistaken. Ryan Reynolds plays George in the latest remake of The Amityville Horror, where his family is cursed by living at 412 Ocean Avenue in Long Island. The movie is based on a true story and the house was once a mission belonging to the reverend Jeremiah Ketcham, who used to torture and kill Native Americans on his property. Ketcham supposedly slit his own throat so that his soul would never leave the property. The movie begins by showing the horror that happened in 1974, when Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered his entire family in the house, claiming that the voices told him to do it. Flash-forward and the movie focuses on the next family, the Lutzes, who move into the house. The graphical effects are frighteningly good and may sometimes even cause you to jump in your seat. One example is when George and his wife, Kathy (Melissa George), are in the middle of sex when he all of a sudden sees a dead girl standing behind her. Unfortunately, the director resorted to a few cheap tricks, like moving magnets on the refrigerator to spell out phrases, blood seeping out of nooks and crannies, and a provocative pot- smoking babysitter. But the scene where the babysitter goes into shock is amazing, and George's dry humor brings laughter to the times when the director's overuse of emotional bullshit would have otherwise been unbearable. This remake leaves out a few details from the 1979 film starring James Brolin and Margot Kidder that would have made the plot even more interesting. For example, George is supposed to have an uncanny resemblance to Ronald DeFeo Jr., and the priest is supposed to go blind after visiting the house. My suggestion would be to see the 2005-version first, because it is definitely more suspenseful. Then see the 1979 version to learn more about the story. Real Laughs i n "A L ot Like L ove%®^ BY ADIA BESS Pride Staff Writer A lot UNLIKE most romantic comedies is more like it, and this is definitely for the better. "A Lot Like Love" proved itself to be above the boring sap that the average romantic comedy usually portrays. Fake, cheesy, and unrealistic are words that surprisingly don't describe this Images courtesy of Buena Vista Pictures love story. You will want to see Oliver (Ashton Kutcher) and Emily (Amanda Peet) wind up together in the end without the urge to throw popcorn at the screen. The first couple of minutes were slow, but the pace picked up during Oliver and Emily's first official meeting in style: the mile high club. Goofy Oliver falls for Emily immediately as she humors his boyish innocence. They meet up the next day, and spend the afternoon together exchanging quirky comments and spontaneous moments that each would remember. Oliver finds himself getting attached to a seemingly uninterested Emily and tries to save face, making a deal with Emily that he will have a job, house and car all wrapped up with a beautiful wife in six years. They depart as the story unfolds with more spontaneous outings on New Year's, and a road trip that lands them naked in a National Park. Yet, getting to know each other better as friends sparks a romance that neither is willing to admit—until it may be too late. The acting is not by any means Oscarwinning, but it doesn't seem difficult for Kutcher to play the goofy guy you can't help but love, and Peet is entertaining with her sarcastic remarks throughout. The chemistry between the two is extremely fascinating to watch. This is espiecially because many scenes looked as though they were un-scripted, which added to the cohesiveness between the two characters. Although this film contains some unnecessary ingredients most romantic comedies contain, it stands out from the rest giving a few real laughs, and good feelings rather than a gag reflex. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

But for a price. BY DAN LABELLE Finding reliable resources for research papers usually requires a trip to a university library. Not anymore. The Internet now can provide you with an easy-to-use alternative: Electric Library. Information is easy to find on the worldwide web. But the content may not always be exactly what you are looking for or wholly reliable. The Electric Library makes it possible t o c onduct r eal r esearch over t he Internet, using a deep database of gen- erally reliable sources. Using the Electric Library is easy, too. Within seconds after entering a search, results are returned to you ranked in relevancy order, displaying the document title, source, author, date of publication, size and grade-reading level. With this service, you need only click on the document or image of interest and it is automatically downloaded. The materials can be printed, or copied and saved into a word processing document with bibliographic,informa- tion automatically transferred. The greatest asset of the Electronic Library is the richness of its database. Some of the publications at its disposal are "National Review," "Psychology Today," "The Complete Works of Shakespeare," "Newsday" and "USA Today." These publications provide a well-balanced cross section of data to draw from. Very few requests draw a blank from such a wide spanning database. Electronic Library can be invaluable for students who are looking for current information, which can be difficult to obtain at a library. This is because the Electronic Library's database is updated daily via satellite. Like all good things, though, Electronic Library is not f ree. A single month of unlimited usage costs $9.95. A yearly subscription of unlimited access costs $59.95. You can sign on directly on its web site at http://www.elibrary.eom/s/hotbot. Electronic Library is now offering one month of free unlimited access. Possible fee increase spawns Q & A workshop • The "Mug the Presidents" workshop held on March 26 was called to address present as well as future campus concerns B Y DEBBIE HENKE What do CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez and Cheech Marin have in common? If you were one of approximately 35 students who attended t he "Mug t he Presidents" workshop on March 26, you'd know the answer. Both were born in East LA Those students got the opportunity to meet and talk with Gonzalez and Associated Students Inc. President Joe Faltaous during the informal, 90-minute question-and-answer session, part of the College Success Workshop. They also got a free coffee mug, ice cream and cookies. More importantly, they got an insight on a number of campus improvements that are in the works. Gonzalez stressed that CSUSM, thoughh a fledgling institution, ha tremendous potential. "It's like a clean slate, and you have a chance to shape it," he told the students, "It's an exciting thing to me and it should be to you, too." A major campus flaw, he noted, was the lack of places for students to congregate, a hindrance to student involvement, "My fear is this campus will become strictly a commuter campus and students will lose the full experience of an undergraduate education," he added. In order to provide more space for students to meet, he added, the cement area outside The Dome will be expanded, and a wind break and covered area will be constructed, a project that should be completed in time for the upcoming fall semester. Another key project t hat will benefit students, Gonzalez said, is the proposed track andfieldfacility. Students will vote April 15 and 16 on whether to help finance its construction by raising Associated Student 1 iUm P hoto B y D ebbie H enke Dr. G onzalez a nswers q uestions raised by concerned workshop participants fees by $35 per semester.

By next fall, CSUSM stu dents will have a lot more access ^ Ata to other countries, not to mention other U.S. universities, when the Multimedia Language Learning Center moves to the second floor of University Hall. The new, two-room facility will contain a dual-purpose lab where students can access a new distance learning program in conjunction with the already established language learning program. Distance learning enables students to take classesfromother universities, via computer. The program creates a simulated classroom situation in which students are able to interact with professors from other universities by asking questions through a microphone over computer lines, as though they were physically sitting in the class. "This will open up complete communication around the world," said Kevin Igasaki, director of the Language Learning Center. Igasaki, who has held that post at CSUSM for two years, said the center also will have word processors designed specifically for communication in French, German, Spanish, Japanese and the newest edition, Chinese. "So many courses are offered now as far as language, like Chinese for example," said Igasaki. "This creates a definite need for the expansion. We want to help out students, give them a lot more access than they currently have." The new facility not only will benefit students, but the lab's employees as well. "We're looking forward to a real work spjace," said Igasaki. The current center is just one room, where Igasaki and the manager, Lucy Higuera, have to take care of computer technical problems and administrative matters, within a confined space, among students. The new center will have a separate tech room between the lab's audio/visual and telecommunications/computing sections, o ffering Igasaki a nd Higuera an appropriate work area, out of students' sight. The lab will contain 24 computers, which Igasaki says are probably the fastest on campus. These computers are intended for distance learning courses and foreign language communication. "I'm really excited, because the expansion provides an opportunity for students to complete and excel in their language classes," said Igasaki. He added that the new distance learning program may help eliminate limited course'offerings here at CSUSM and allow stu- Photo by L eslie Pearne Directer, Kevin I gasaki stands in front of t he new language learning center facility dents to take the required courses in a timely manner. Igasaki also hopes to be able to add more employees. "We'll have two labs to take care of and more class activities to take care of," he added. "I'm hoping that this infrastructure will grow as the student population grows." * Igasaki plans t o move into University Hall over the summer. New spaces and shuttling hoped to relieve parking madness B Y JAMES GATES A note to the weaiy: CSUSM Parking Services plans to ease your pain. It promises some hope to the devotees of the ever-exhaustive search for the most elusive and highly coveted asset to one's college education ... a good parking spot. Parking Services has growing concerns about the situation on campus. And, while there is a carrot in the future, an anticipated 590 additional spaces by next f all, there is also a stick this spring: more tickets. In the eighth week of classes, 93 citations were issued to students and staff, an unusually high figure for that late in the semester, according Parking Coordinator Dora Knoblock. It's roughly double the weekly average of previous semesters, she added. Most of those ticketed still had not purchased a valid parking permit. Though students continue t o p urchase p ermits, Knoblock said, the number without them is "lower than previous semesters." A small part of the decrease may b e a ttributed t o t he f act t hat CSUSM enrollment this spring is 4,589 students, down slightly from last fall. It's unlikely that all 4,589 would be on campus at the same time, but it still is a scary prospect to many students, since there are only 1,463 total spaces available in student l ots, a ratio of students to spaces of 3-to-l. While many students still scramble for spaces, at least one junior, Hotan Hanorvar, said the situation isn't top bad. "It seems to me that there's plenty of parking," he added. Another concern cited by Knoblock is that many students simply aren't paying their fines. Most of t he scofflaws, she added, "are being reported to the DMV." Knoblock attributed much of the delinquency to students who think the ticket is "just a warning, though it amazes me that at this level people are still looking for loopholes. These are future educators, scientists and accountants." Knoblock urged students with outstanding citations to call Parking Services at 750-4500 and make arrangements to pay up, warning that failure could result in a delay to graduation. She stressed, that Parking Services is a "self-supporting operation." Its annual revenues from the sale of parking permits must cover both its operating expenses and repayment of revenue bonds sold to construct parking faculties. It does not receive state money, she added. Plans for next fall include construction o f590 new spaces near the Barham entrance of the campus and a kiosk that would assist in any university-related questionsfromnew and continuing students. Knoblock said shuttle service from another 100 new spaces in the PalomarPomerado H ealth Systems Center, across Twin Oaks Valley Road from the campus, would be available. Additionally, Parking Services has p urchased two new d aily-permit ticketers that accept bills and coins and give change, she said. One of them will be installed in student Lot 10 before the end of the spring semester. The sale of $54 summer 1998 parking permits begins May 25 at Parking Services. Those students paying with credit cards must go to the Cashiers Office on the third floor of Craven Hall, since Parking Services accepts only cash and checks. Office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday. �College p reparation still an i ssue f or m any new and c ontinuing students B Y J ENIFER J A F F E The Third International Mathematics and Science Study alarmed the nation in February by revealing that U.S. high-school seniors ranked second to last in the world in 1995. But that may not have been startling news to officials in the CSU system. Two years after finding less of a need for remedial instruction in math and English, the system admitted a record number of firsttime freshman students who lacked the foundation for college-level math and English. Today, 54 percent of CSU's first-time freshmen need remedial courses in Math, while 47 percent need remediation in English, according to a March report in The San Diego Union-Tribune. Whether it stems from a few years off from school, or a poor high-school education, tutors in the CSUSM Math Lab are seeing a lot of students in academic trouble... and in tears. The lab's coordinator, Maureen DuPont, who has been running the program since its beginning eight years ago, says she constantly reassures students that their difficulties do not stem from stupidity, but generally because they were wrongly placed into a math course. Those CSUSM students who have not already passed a^coHege1 levelma*hrco>urse;qre1'reqriired t dtakethe' Entrance Level Math (ELM) test. If they pass, they can proceed into a college math course of 100 or higher. If they don't pass, they can enroll in Math 50, despite the fact that they might not know basic arithmetic, or pre-algebra concepts. DuPont, a CSUSM graduate herself who also teaches math at Palomar College, says the university offers a wide array of remedial courses, including Math 10,15,50, and 60, and adds that it's essential for students to get a foundation before tackling higher courses like trigonometry and calculus. With CSUSM's enrollment at more than 4,500, she said, "We should not be wasting our time and money teaching math 50." That's what junior colleges are for, she added. Other educators say it's the job of primary and secondary schools to prepare students for college. The international test results that seem to show students continuing to' slip through the evidently widening cracks in education, they add, have sent educators and superintendents searching for answers. As alarming as the test results seem, however, some argue it would be dangerous to read too much into them, since many European countries test only college-bound individuals, while the United States tests all students. The test results have stoked a national debate on education, and many educators are calling on schools to increase expectations, start students off earlier in science and higher math and no longer allow high-school students to take a break from the subjects in their senior year. One of the most heated arguments in education over the past year has been the controversy over "new" (or integrated) math versus traditional math. In a policy reversal, the Escondido high school district, one of San Diego County's first districts to offer students a choice of new math or traditional math, last October voted to automatically place students in traditional math courses unless patents requested otherwise. CSUSM freshman Roland Arias, a former student at Orange Glen High School in Escondido, said he "got Itrcl^/by'being placed i n traditional math. He said he prefers the method because he's "not much of a group person" a nd because, in new math courses, there are "slackers" who sit back and allow others in the class to pull all the weight. Arias pointed out that he benefitted not necessarily because he learned more by bypassing new math, but because the Scholastic Achievement Test is formatted towards traditional math. After taking Math 50 at CSUSM, he went on to Math 120 and said he expects to receive an A. Jamie Kasper, a junior at CSUSM who said she put off fulfilling her math requirement for a while because she's "not good at it," is not as optimistic. The former Vista High student took Math 50 at CSUSM and said she is currently struggling in her Math 120 course even though she rarely misses a class, does all her homework and frequents the Math Lab. "I'm just not grasping it as well as I did in highschool," she said.

': v �Chancellor gives CETI 5050 chance of reaching agreement Page 4 CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed presented an update on the California Education Technology Initiative negotiations and said there is a 50-50 chance that the partners will be able to reach an agreement. "If no one has ever done it before, it's going to be hard," Reed said. "The concept is correct, and I don't want to talk about contingency plans, but if it doesn't work, we will need contingencies because not doing it is not a choice." Under the proposal, the CSU would join with four corporate partners ^-Fujitsu, Hughes Electronics, GTE, and Microsoft — to form an organization that would build a new technology infrastructure for the CSU's 23 campuses. The CSU would invest in CETI the $89.6 million it currently spends annually on technology systemwide, and the corporate partners would raise the $300 million needed for the development of the CSU technology infrastructure. In return the new company would have access to CSlTs market of38,500 faculty and staff and 344,000 students. The problem in the negotiations centers on estimates of how much revenue the CSU market would provide, how that revenue would be divided and how much risk the corporate partners are willing to take. The chancellor said he is still hopeful that the plan can be finalized by the beginning of April 50 that there can be a 45-day period for CSU constituencies to review the plan before the May Board of Trustees meeting. A national day of silence for gay rights B Y F REDRIC B A L L On April 8, the organizers of the National Day of Silence, the largest gay, lesbian, b isexual a nd t ransgender *(GLBT) awareness event in the United States, will take place on school campuses across the country. Between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. that day, organizers of the event, run by and for youths, will ask supporters to take a nine-hour vow of silence to draw attention t o the silence t hat homophobia causes. The brainchild of Jessie Gilliam and Maria Pulzetti, students at the University of Virginia, the event is now in its third year. More than 100 high schools, colleges and universities will participate this year. Instead of speaking, participants hand out cards that read: "please understand my reasons for not speaking today. I support gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender rights. People who are silent today believe that laws and attitudes should be inclusive of people of all sexual orientations. "The Day of Silence is to draw attention to those who have been silenced by hatred, oppression and prejudice. Think about t he voices you are not hearing. What can you do to end the silence?" Gilliam, an e conomics/women's study major, says, "The first year we did it, we got a lot of positive press. People were very supportive because it was the first large gay event that our Gecy/les- bian/Bisexual Student Union had done in a while. Many thought it was an effective way to show that people supported GLBT rights. It was also effective for heterosexuals t o experience what it's like to be silent for a day." Co-founder Pulzetti, a history/Russian major, agrees. "The collective statement we make is s taggering. The strength of this event lies in the fact that it fills a real need for solidarity among youth concerned about GLBT rights." According to Gilliam, the national response has been very good. "We've had some turndowns, but fewer rejections than support," she adds. "Surprisingly, the event appears to work better in the conservative schools, where there-is no or limited visibility for GLBT people, where people don't know gay people exist on campus. "In more liberal schools, where there has been a pro-gay sentiment and campus activism, people tend to think that they don't need that event because they are not silent... which I think is great. But what this also says is that it's great that you can walk down the street handin-hand with your boyfriend or girlfriend without fear of harassment, but your comrades in the South may not be able to."

That is, un -less you h appen t o b e in one of Miguel J L f l J z a p a t a ' s CSUSM Spanish classes. From the first day, it is obvious that Zapata is a different sort of teacher. In fact, it would be easy to confuse him with a stand-up comedian. The best part of his class is that you learn a lot and have fun at the same time. Zapata, a native of in Michoacan, Mexico, came to the United States in 1977. He attended Fallbrook High School and Palomar College before graduating from San Diego State University. He has been teaching for about seven years: Zapata mixes his lectures with humor, the end result being a fun education. When asked his favorite part about teaching, he says, "I enjoy the students responding to me in Spanish, to be able to hear them speak the language that I teach them." Try to answer one of his questions in English and Zapata will say, "No comprendo ingles, yo hablo ifep&xioi X De>t>'t expfeetfoim t&bu&ge, because he won't Those who are shy or have a soft voice will likely be brought out of their shells in Zapata's class. Those who are single may get caught in an impromptu dating game when Zapata asks someone to describe a classmate in Spanish. He will ask if you consider a student good looking. If you answer yes, he will continue to probe in Spanish. If btfth students are single, h e will ask them if they would like to ^et tdjgefher. " ' But it is all in fun, and those of his students who go to a class tired generally wake up quickly because of the laughter. Zapata likes to tell stories about his wife and kids, photo c ourtesy of Miguel Z apata M iguel Z apata, e ducator a nd f amily m an, h elps s tudents t o e xplore t he S panish l anguage r ather t han j ust l earn it. and students feel as if they really get to know him. He is candid, and will answer most personal questions... if they are asked in Spanish. In his classes, "John" becomes " Juan" and " Peter" becomes "Pedro," whether John or Peter wants to or not. He teaches his students not only the grammar and structure of Spanish, but how to use it in everyday life. He is adamant about teaching students that there are differences between English and Spanish. Expressions that are used in English don't always translate to Spanish and Zapata wants his students to learn how to communicate, not just learn grammar. The textbooks used in Zapata's classes are only a small part of the learning. "I give you a lot more information than the book," Zapata says, adding that he teaches everyday life skills. Zapata points to one teacher who inspired him to choose his profession. It was his sixth-grade teacher who, he said, was, "veiy caring, knowledgeable, tough and strict. I always knew that I wanted to be like her." Zapata's comedic style of teaching is not an act. "The humor in the class is not because I want to be funny," he says. "I don't plan jokes. It's part of my teaching. It's me. If the students enjoy the class, they are learning better." Zapata estimates that 99 percent of his students go on to teach Spanish. "I motivate them to go on to be Spanish majors because they speak Spanish and they learn it and that excites them," he says. "They want to 1 continue." Zapata is one of the instructors for CSUSM's fourweek program at the Spanish for Teachers Institute in Cuernavaca, Mexico, this summer. Zapata says he knows first-hand that learning a new language can be difficult, since he had to learn English, His teaching makes learning fun, and it doesn't seem so difficult between bouts of laughter. One of his former student, Vince DeLuca, said, "I like his humor. It is necessary for Spanish." If it isn't necessary, it is at least enjoyable. Study Abroad program offers viable alternative to regular language classes B Y R EBECCA W A R N E Having trouble finding the classes you want? Need to meet your foreign- language requirements? Since CSUSM is a new university still experiencing major growth, its students sometimes face challenges finding classes that meet their requirements and fit into their schedule. Some of them solve the dilemma through the Study Abroad Program, an exciting and viable alternative that offers a wide range of international programs that meet graduate requirements, provide an opportunity to study language and a chance to .travel. The programs, which range from two weeks to a fall academic year, fit into most students' schedules. Study Abroad's office is in Craven Hall, Room 5313. Peter Zwick, director, and Pam Bell, the International Program coordinator, welcome visits. Bell speaks with some experience, having traveled abroad herself since high school when a family trip to Spain, as she says, got her hooked. Schools in her area didn't offer exchange programs or study abroad and she didn't get to travel again until after college. A marketing major in college, Bell never stopped dreaming of traveling. She worked during college, saving up for her next trip abroad. She and a friend backpacked around the world after graduation, starting in Hawaii and traveling to Asia, then through Europe for three nionths. Bell came to CSUSM hoping to pursue a master's degree. Initially, she worked in the Political Science Department, but when the Study Abroad office was proposed, she was eager to help establish it. Among the programs offered under Study Abroad is the International Program (IP), a CSU effort affiliated with more than 70 institutes in 17 countries. To participate in Study Abroad, students must have a 2.75 cumulative GPA. Financial aid can be applied to the programs. Students receive academic credit for classes taken and assistance in all arrangements, such as academic planning, housing and visas. A resident coordinator and/or host institution staff member is available in each country. IP is supported financially by the State of California, allowing students to participate for only a fraction of the actual cost. Business students can attend Waseda University in Tokyo, the most renowned university in Japan. Students can study Spanish and Social Sciences or Humanities in Spain. At the University of Heidelberg, Germany, the oldest university in Europe, classes are offered in everything from archaeology to zoology. Students don't always need to have extensive language preparation. Some universities teach classes in English. The United Kingdom, Italy, Canada and Australia offer extensive programs in most major fields of study. Other programs of shorter duration are available, some in coordination with Palomar College. �Mateline Marshall discusses f emininity a nd d ivinity B Y A M Y M ESTER Does the architecture of a library in England or a little chapel in Rome interest a lover of literature? It sure does, particularly if you're CSUSM literature teacher Mateline Marshall. "In my discipline I deal with words on a page but there's also physical spaces ... sounds, colors and light," she says. "Words are only a portion of artistic thought." Take the British Library, for example. "The building is held up on huge marble pillars, mottled green, that look like they've protruded out of the earth," says Marshall, who has a Ph.D. in comparative literature from New York University. "You're surrounded by this gorgeous stone and beautiful paintings." The library lodges an astonishing collection of old books, manuscripts and artifacts brought back by the "cursed British empire," Marshall says, and house in a large round room with a glass dome ceiling and natural light streaming down. "So often, pictures lie behind words," Marshall adds. "The experience of tran- scendence that comes out in poetry locks in exactly with physical space. Meaning happens in a different way when it's also spatial." A small chapel in Rome housing Bernini's "Saint Theresa in Ecstasy" leaves a similar impression on her. "Bernini designed the chapel so that light from heaven would shine through the windows and illuminate the sculpture," says Marshall. "The light from heaven is part of what makes this all work. This is the key to ecstasy... raising your thoughts up and looking into heaven. On the ceiling there are clouds and angels and the light of heaven streaming in. This is a perfect match with this sort of experience. "The sculpture portrays the saint in this moment of transcendent glory, which looks like good sex and which is part of the 17th century. It's an orgasmic kind of picture: the beautiful drapery of her clothes and an evil-looking angel with a spear penetrating her heart. "One of the silly monks who run the chapel hung an incandescent bulb to light up the statue, completely destroy0 0 Thomas Kennedy on "night driving" cause it quickly became offensive. But people in the past were very brave about this analogy, and it's an interest of mine that's a great challenge to conventional feminism. Conventional feminism has been very unhappy about this sort of attitude. But to throw out all this poetry and a concept of perfect love is a mistake f or f eminist theology and theory." Marshall says the recurring theme of the soul as the bride and Christ as the bridegroom who loves each soul passionately and exclusively continues to intrigue her. "It all just says, "Hey, let's really get at the heart of the convention, which says there's a knockout, astonishing experience of perfect love which is physical, which is spiritual, which is everything," she adds. "And that's the analogy that leads to this very exciting, very sexy poetry and music. You find it in Bach cantatas which are contemporaneous." Marshall also teaches Bible as Lit, U.S Lit, Forms of Discourse, and Women's Studies, "Race, Class and Gender" this semester. ing all the effects. The whole sort of theater of the sculpture was ruined for me and I remember trying to explain what a travesty this was to the caretaker." It's places and revelations such as this that fuel Marshall's interest in 17th and 18th century culture and her uncommon stance on feminism. "I am veiy interested in poetry and art and music that represent the love that people, especially women, have for God and God has for people. Women poets have always favored this divine love analogy," she says. Marshall says she continues to work on piles of poems by women that she has discovered at the British library, sometimes for hours or days straight. In t urn, she has written numerous times on the theme of divine love. "The idea here is not to say sex is religion and religion is sex," says Marshall. "It's to say that perfect love and perfect rapture have a connection. We can use some of the same language to talk about knowing God or loving God that we use in talking about human relationships. "It's a kind of writing and art that's carefully controlled by convention be- (BUSMSPraN© 199ft i teacher Career fair to include On-Site Interview© B Y D EBBIE H OLDERBY C S U S M T eacher C areer F air He makes the process of writing seem effortless.

Featuring a selection of family photographs centered on her late mother, who worked in San Diego's garment industry for many years, the exhibit will open with a reception at 3 p.m. in the library courtyard and remain on display in the library throughout April. The public is invited and admission is free. Lopez will precede the exhibit with two free slide/lecture presentations. The first includes a personal survey of her work on Monday, March 30, beginning at 6 p.m. in Room 102 of Academic Hall. The second centers on the Bay Area Chicana Artists, starting at noon on Wed., April 1 in Room 102 of Academic Hall. Much of Lopez' art, which includes prints, posters, drawings, videos and installations, focuses on media myths about Mexicans and Mexican-Americans as presented in magazines, films and television. Lopez says she is concerned about these myths because they "affect not only how we perceive ourselves as Americans, but just as importantly, how others will perceive us. The problem of a corrupted understanding of who we are becomes extremely important because it affects our access to education, employment, housing, health care, and economic resources." Lopez earned a bachelor's degree in painting and drawing from San Diego State University, and a master's in fine arts from UC, San Diego. She now resides in San Francisco.

I B^ip! B H I M f l U i L §pSf B Y S COTT B ASS wmr... In-your-face cinematography, awesome scenery and an emotional climb to the top of the world: That's what you'll get in the IMAXfilm"Everest." Filmmaker David Breashears takes viewers at the Reuben E. Fleet Space Theater in Balboa Park along for the climb of a lifetime with three mountaineers. Their goal: to reach the peak of Mt. Everest, at 29,028 feet, the highest point on the face of the earth. Two of them, Araceli Segarra, a Spanish woman with years of climbing experience u nder h er belt and local Nepalese climber Jamling Norgay, are attempting the climb for the first time. Leading them is expedition co-leader Ed Viesturs. The film starts off with some background information on Everest, its geologic formation and a brief history of other expeditions. Then Breashears gives viewers a closer look at the three climbers, in essence giving the audience an emotionally vested interest in them. For instance, you meet Viesturs and his new wife on mountainbikes in Utah. The footage, taken from a helicopter, follows them on a trail winding around a steep, narrow canyon. The bike trail is only six feet wide and, at its side, is a sheer vertical drop of hundreds, if not thousands, of feet. The camera angles create instant vertigo. Next you meet Segarra, who is climbing a landmark that many will recognize as the rock arches outside Cabo San Lucas at the tip of Baja on the Sea of Cortez. Again Breashears builds a bond between the audience and climber. The contrast of the sunny and warm Baja day juxtaposes the cold and harsh days that come later. Finally, you meet Norgay, who is from a mountain-climbing dynasty. If he reaches the summit of Everest he will become the 10th family member to do so. The emotional tie-in within this segment relies on Norgay^s relationships with his father, Tenzing, who with Sir Edmund Hillary was the first to climb the famous peak in 1953. The rest of the film is a documentation of their efforts on the dramatic P M M P f g e t mm H M i climb. There are a number of dramatic occurrences on the mountain that turns out to be overcrowded. An ill-timed attempt at the summit during a blizzard kills eight climbers on another expedition, including Viesturs' good friend. Emotions are high as the audience is drawn into the catastrophe. This highly publicized tragedy is the subject of climber John Krakauer's best selling book, "Into Thin Air." Fortunately* Breashears' iMAXcre# decides to wait but the'stohn tft ba$8 camp. Despite the tragedy, they muster up the courage to attempt the ascent. Perhaps the most intense scene of the movie is when Segarra emotionally Iflllilllll!

Disney's "Deedl<*S' Dumb and DunlJ^r B Y B RANDEE F ERNANDEZ m If you think the title, "Meet the Deedles, is dumb, wait until you see the movie. Steve Van Wormer and Paul Walker play twin brothers who are lazy party animals. Their billionaire father decides that a stay at Camp Broken Spirit in Wyoming is the answer to their laziness. Through a series of predictable twists and turns, the two boys are mistaken for rodent experts and become rookie rangers at Yellowstone National Park. Their assignment is to rid the park of pesky prairie dogs before a big birthday celebration for the famous geyser, Old Faithful. Dennis Hopper and Robert Englund (of Freddy Krueger fame) play two bumbling crooks who try to keep the Deedles from succeeding. Will the two spoiled, rich kids learn to be responsible? Will Phil Deedle get the girl? Will the Deedle brothers save Old Faithful? Will they all live "happily ever after?" It's a Disney movie, so it should be easy to predict the outcome. If you're out of elementary school, it's doubtful that youH find this movie worth watching. The "pull-my-finger" jokes will bring some giggles from the kids, but there are much better movies out there for them. Rated: PG Director: Steve Boyum Cast: Steve Van Wormer, Paul Walker, Dennis Hopper, Robert Englund, AJ Langer �"W" A "TTien Michael Spillers moved % / % / t o Los Angeles, h e h ad vi ¥ T sions of snaring openly gay Hollywood mogul David Geffen. Instead, he ends u p falling in love with an East LA cholo named Lobo. Such is the premise behind Spillers* new play, "White Boy." A play within a play, "White Boy," as Spiller relates early on, is supposed t o be a tale for his ailing father, but what it quickly evolves into is the introduction of Ozark-bred Spillers to inner city life, loves and realities. Choosing to live in the Barrio, Michael meets Rocco ( Joe Elvis Alway), a Puerto Rican dancer at a local club who dreams of being an actor. He also meets the flamboyant Wally (Victor Allen), a Salvadoran go-go boy who dreams of being Mr. Gay Los Angeles. It is through this friendship that he meets the object of his desire, Lobo (Joseph Aguilar), t he only heterosexual (supposedly) employee at the bar, who he had bumped into days before as he went cruising for men in Echo Park. It is the development of t he relationship between Michael and Lobo that is the crux for the play. The two soon develop an odd kinship of sorts, though they could not have come from more different worlds. As they continue to work together and their friendship develops, Lobo begins to question his sexuality and, as the first the xQiiiig jn§»tPi:ofes$ and consummate t heir d esires f or each B Y ANDREA HEWITT A frequent visitor to Media Ser / \ vices, Dr. T ejinder N eelon, J L X M a t h e m a t i c s P rofessor, p rovided a refreshing and revealing viewpoint regarding the eclectic mix of movies housed in CSUSM's collection. He immediately mentioned two films by famed J apanese d irector Akira Kurosawa, Ran and Throne of Blood, each based on a Shakespeare play, King Lear and Macbeth, respectively. Dr. Neelon also referred to films by directors Wajda, Herzog and the Coen brothers, all of whom are represented in our film library. Part of Dr. Neelon's fascination with Kurosawa stems f rom t he director's ability to translate the stories across different languages, "It's just amazing to think that Shakespeare would translate well into Japanese and then translate well back i nto English'', h e remarked. Given that the film goes from renaissance English to Japanese and then into American English subtitles, while striving and succeeding in keeping Shakespeare's sense and sensibilities, this proves no easy feat and Dr. Neelon believes t hat Kurosawa more than accomplishes this task. \\ White Boy" offers unique insights into culture and sexuality B Y F REDRIC B A L L other in front of a local church's Madonna shrine in one of the most erotic scenes that local theatre has recently seen. But, as act two begins, reality in this machismo-driven neighborhood rears its ugly head as Lobo keeps their relationship & s ecret f rom h is o ther homeboys, not to mention the mother of his toddler son. Regardless if you're gay, straight or somewhere in between on the s§xualijy spectrum, you can relate to "WJiite Boy." It's about ambition as the hunky and talented Rocco sees his dreams of acting fail because he's too Hispanic for some roles, not Hispanic enough for others, and too gay for some parts, not gay enough for others. He turns to posing for skin magazines and adult films to make ends meet. We meet Junior (Salvador Gonzalez), t he b umbling t een s tagehand who wants to be a part of Spillers' production. Born to a woman, who only wanted to be mm, Junior is hated by his mother as he represents her failure in life. It only gets worse as Junior gets older. In one of his monologues (done at a time when Spillers bolts off the stage to ponder his relationship with Lobo), J unior t ells t he a udience t hat h is mother never bought him anything in his life. That is, at least until she finds out h e's gay. The next morning, h e found a box in the kitchen containing his own set of dishes and flatware with a notefromhis mother saying that these are the only kitchen items he is allowed to use now. Gonzales, vulnerable and eager to please as Junior, is probably the most endearing character in the play. And then there is Lobo, the play's heartthrob, who early on does a perfect turn as an in-your-face homeboy oozing testosterone. His character is the one t hat does t he most in terms of transformation ... from a young father who hides from his confusion through alcohol to a young man coming to terms with his sexuality in an often trying atmosphere. "White Boy" had successful runs in Los Angeles and Palm Springs before an appearance at 6 @ Penn Studios in HiUcrest that ended last week. The success of the play comes as no surprise: Spillers' writing is fast-paced, funny, touching and thought provoking^ and, in "White Boy," he assembled a cast of young men who offer a glimpse into the stereotype and reality of the Latino community. For information on future 6 @ Penn shows, call (619) 688-9210. Featuring Dr. Tejinder Neelon & International Also worth noting, remarked Dr. Neelon, is Kurosawa's genius as a cinematographer in designing and developing his pictures for the screen, "The atmosphere he creates is really eyecatching; it really sticks in your mind, for example, Throne of Blood with the dust blowing always and the way he flows this thing and how he tells the story." These films he went on to say, "Just stay with you forever." Two films by Polish director Wajda, Danton and Ashes andDiamondshavz also left a lasting impression on Dr. Neelon. In Danton ,Wajda combines stylistic "almost melodramatic" acting alopg with stunning visuals to present Danton's struggles and, "This scene sticks in my mind at the end when Danton is beheaded-it's amazing; very popular yet very meticulous and political" according to Dr. Neelon. "It's the stoiy of one man against the world type of thing", he went on to say, "at which Wajda does very well." However, the film Ashes and Diamonds falls a little closer to home for Dr. Neelon as "this [film] kind of is a little bit personal because I am from Punjab, India and there are also terror- ists bombing so I can imagine what kind of ideology is going on." Ashes and Diamonds tells the story of a terrorist conflicted between right and wrong. "On the one hand he believes in the cause and on the other he sees his friends being killed; innocent people being killed by a terrorist act" Dr. Neelon relates, "In the first scene, for example, they kill the Police Chief but they kill the wrong guyit's very dramatic." The struggle between the protagonist and the power of politics and personal relationships definitely deserves a look-see! When asked if he considered himself a film buff, Dr. Neelon said, "Not a film buff because when it comes to movies, I'm pretty snobbish so to speak. I'm not snobbish about music or art, but movies I think, there's too much Hollywood trash. But I'm a movie student, so to speak in the sense that I like to see really good movies,-they could be musicals, they could be anything." He went on to say, "When I go to the Movie Theater, I practically expect to see a masterpiece, anything less than that, I kind of get disappointed. Part of it is because I grew up in a culture where movies were the only entertainment; in India, Interests movies a re p ractically a religion." Sounds like my kind of church! While reticent regarding his command of film terminology and vernacular, Dr. Neelon had no trouble explaining what he did not like about movies, the Oscars and Hollywood in general. "They shouldn't even call it 'Best Picture', they should call it 'Best Feel-Good Picture'", h e sai<£ "And t he [Oscar] academy wants to affirm the men who are more like men, like Matt Damon, rather than DiCaprio who has a little bit of a feminine side to him; they always want some sort of tough guy." Warming to the topic he continued, "I t hink. . . that Good Will Hunting is total trash; paper trash and full of cliches. Hollywood cares too much for movies that pretend to be good movies." We agreed that LA. Confidential should have received the Oscar for Best Picture. I rreverent and energetic with a spunky and spirited approach to his favorite flicks, Dr. Neelon proved a pleasurable subject indeed. If the films he mentioned are half as interesting and entertaining as Dr. Neelon, I highly recommend you see them all. S ee... math professors do have personalities! �Desperate Measures s imply d esperate B Y MICHAEL MILLER Hollywood's talent is too sporadic for my taste. It seems the movie-going public shares my taste. I remember thinking to myself not too long ago, "What happened to v Desperate Measures?'" Being a fan of Andy Garcia and Michael Keaton, I was hoping to see this action/thriller. Unfortunately, it seemed to disappear from theaters quite quickly. Then, recently, I found that it was playing at a local discount theater. My first thought was, "It must be bad to have dropped to the $1.50 theater that fast." But I went to see it anyway. My instincts, though, were right. "Desperate Measures" is bad. Primarily, it is a bad attempt at realism. Movies don't have to be real life (as Bette Davis said, "If you want to see real life, sit on a park bench"), but there has to be a happy median. That brings us back to Hollywood tal- ent: As we all know, there are good movies out there that incorporate all elements of fine cinema and box-office draw. So obviously there is the talent to produce them, but a lot offilmsmust not be watched closely enough before release. Holes in plot, character, and (my personal peeve) realism seem as a bundant as b ullets in an Arnold Schwarzenegger film. "Desperate Measures" is one of them. The plot is set around the young son of a San Francisco police detective (Andy Garcia). The son has leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant. The only possible donor is an ingenious multiple murder currently in a high security prison (Michael Keaton). Garcia gets Keaton to agree to the operation and through political support arranges to have him brought to a downtown prison hospital for the transplant. yy Up to this point, the movie proceeds well as Keaton creates a chilling antagonist and Garcia, as usual, pours emotion into all his actions. Then, of course, the murderous genius escapes. From the moment he jumps the gurney, fantasy sets in. Eluding the police that swarm the building, attaining firearms at will, and ignoring the bullet hole in his leg are just a few of the fantasies, which proceed at a steady rate for the rest of the movie. Then there is Garcia's lack of concern for all lives but his son's in his attempt to keep Keaton alive long enough for the transplant. Sometimes I wonder if I'm t he only one who sees the flaws in a movie. But, considering how poorly this movie did at the box office, I guess I'm not. Hollywood is a money-making industry. But how can it allow so many bad movies? H igher e ducation o nly a p lane r ide a way B Y CHRIS OZOLS You want higher education? How about 12,500 feet high? It's just an hour away from CSUSM, at Perris Valley Skydiving, the largest such drop zone in the world. Averaging 100,000 jumps a year, Perris is recognized worldwide as a premier skydiving facility. It has the largest fleet of aircraft equipped for parachute jumpers on the West Coast. The de Havilland Dash 28 Twin Otters (twin turbo-prop engined aircraft) carry up to 22 jumpers each and reach altitude in less than 15 minutes.

Why? Because I love diversity and above all value fairness, so it was refreshing to catch some of the exuberance of writer Debbie Henke. Then I gave it more thought. The values of diversity ancLequal opportunity are good, but I'm sad to see the university make what I believe is such a regressive and intellectually shallow stand and still have it enthusiastically reported on in the student paper. It appears, in essence, to be an injustice ... an injustice created by sheer lack of thought, and an injustice to everyone with a sense of right from wrong. What the administration is implying is t hat African-Americans represent only African-Americans and Latinos represent only, Latinos, etc., as though various ethnicities are not representative of humanity. And what happens when this view is put into its full context? Did not Hitler see each Jew as a representative of all Jews? Is not bigotry a function of seeing all AfricanAmericans as representatives of their race? Racism is exactly that, extrapolating the behavior or appearance of one and applying this judgment to the piany, utilizing an individual as a representative or symbol for their race. This is the university's message. Only AfricanAmerican faculty can represent AfricanAmerican students If the university's assertion is that we are all one family, as we indeed are, then it is demeaning to minority races, since they are supposedly no longer capable of representing others. I truly value the school's intention, but the ramifications are obvious. In its quest for racial healing, couldn't the administrators come up with something more intelligent? More creative? More positive? Otherwise, the shot-term goal of hiring based on gender and race will have its consequences. The school's actions will be seized upon by those less inclined to thought and used to rationalize hatred for a group based on the actions of one lone individual. If it's good enough for a school of higher education then it's good enough for bigots. But it is not good enough for me!

It is t he policy of The Pride not t o print anonymous letters. Research does not always mean spending hours in a laboratory, Worden said. It also includes scholarly and creative activities. As a result, there is a wide range of existing research projects conducted here at CSUSM. Biology professors Thomas Wahlund and Betsy Read, for example, are currently heading a project that studies how certain single-celled m arine algae make coccoliths, which are concretelike structures made f rom calcium carbonate. If they can figure out how the algae makes these structures, that information could b e used to improve medical devices such as heart monitors and scaffolding supports for bone transplants. Wahlund compared finding the right gene(s) to " kind of like (finding) a needle in a haystack, but we've got lots of hay." Another research project, led by Nancy Caine, a psychology professor that studies animal behavior, takes things outdoors. Since 1992, Caine has been involved with the Center for Reproduction of Endangered Species (CRES). In an area located behind the Wild A nimal Park, Caine studies G eoffroy's marmosets, which are Brazilian primates. On the cultural side, classes taught by anthropology professor Bonnie Bade and computer arts professor Deborah Small work with the San Luis Rey Band of Luiseno Indians. " The goal of our project is to show the vitality of the Luiseno culture today," Small said. O ften, research projects are made possible through grants. There are two t ypes of grants: "We're b etter t eachers b ecause w e d o r esearch, a nd b etter r esearchers b ecause w e're t eachers." -Dr. N ancy C aine internal and external. Internal grants are f unds contributed by the Provost and the Cal State system, and they are given directly to the faculty for research. External grants can come f rom other outside organizations and government agencies, such as the National Institute of Health, which f unds Wahlund and Read's genetics project. " Our faculty are very active in pursuing external grants," Worden said. She estimates that each year, CSUSM faculty and s taff d raft about $20 million in grant proposals, and receive about $5 million in new money. Other faculty members, such as Nancy Caine, do not need grant money to conduct their research projects.

The amount of research a f aculty member conducts varies among instructors and departments. " It's something that f aculty and department chairs work out every semester," Worden said. Sometimes this means f aculty must conduct research during the summer, holidays, and weekends. " [The project] engages a great deal of my time and energy," Deborah Small said, noting that it was also extremely rewarding to work and f orm relationships with the members of the Band. She also noted that at times, she and her students would t urn o ff their cameras to stop and cultivate plants with the people they were filming. For some faculty, research is not separate f rom teaching, but : closely linked. " The primary benefit [of research] is that it m akes our f aculty better teachers," Worden said. "It makes them experts in their field, and o ur students are the beneficiaries." I n addition to f aculty members gaining expertise, many students benefit because they are directly involved with these projects. "Since [research] all involves students," Wahlund said, "it's j ust a d ifferent k ind of teaching environment." Caine called working with CRES as an opportunity many students do not get, and said it is "something many young people k ind of d ream of that are interested in animal behavior. We're better teachers because we do research, and better researchers b ecause w e're teachers." | 1 11 ¡1Hs J j B r good Korean cuisine in a bistro setting.

All told, cuts will result in 350 to 400 fewer freshmen and transfer students to be accepted in 2004-05. The majority of enrollment reductions will affect incoming freshman classes. Besides enrollment reductions, the college will need to offer fewer courses and eliminate lecturers for 2004-05, said college Interim Dean Vicki Golich last Wednesday. Concerning course offerings, Associate Dean for Budget and Operations Ranjeeta Ghiara said, "We've been very deliberate about trying to anticipate where the student need is the greatest, and trying to ensure that resources are flowing to those areas. We are always trying to see where the greatest number of students can be served best." Out o f600 sections, the college anticipates 40 fewer offerings in the coming year, said Golich. Ghiara detailed the effect of OPIATES ,from page 1 N eedles like this one are used to inject opiates s uch as heroin directly into the b loodstream. emphasized their use of heroin as a sedative and a cough suppressant. Many movies have been made to show what happens when people develop an addiction to opiates, the most common being heroin. For example, in the movie "Trainspotting" by Irving Welsh and John Hodge, there is a scene that shows what it would feel like to have to "kick the habit." Even the phrase "kicking the habit" comes f rom the exaggerated twitching caused by the drug exiting the body's system. A man named Mark Dillon created a web site aiming to repel children from drugs. Brand names for opiates are slightly different, according to Dillon, because of the people who use the term; scientists and scholars refer to opiates as Opium, Codeine, Morphine, Heroin and Methadone. Not only does he provide accurate information about opiates, but also he provides extensive information about legal and illegal drugs at www.sayno.com. Opius exotic, the sight is pleasing, and the effects are euphorically fatal if they are abused or immensely relieving if the instructions are followed. Kellogg Library evacuated BY ROGER NARANJO Pride Staff Writer The whistling sound of smoke alarms echoed throughout the Kellogg Library Thursday evening, causing the evacuation of all three floors. Students on the library's first floor didn't know what to make of the ear piercing sound and flashing strobe lights. Isidro Zamora, a CSUSM student, said, "I thought it was just another fire drill." Around him were several other students who didn't acknowledge the alarm as threatening until the intercom instructed them to evacuate the premises. Some students casually organized their items, while other fled for the doors leaving back packs and books. Within minutes of the fire alarm, two officers made their entrance on the first floor looking for said Ghiara. Ghiara explained the benefit of the self-support summer session policy, which provides for zero state funding support and essentially privatizes costs, saying, "This allows us to take the f unds that were allocated for summer and offer more courses in fall and spring.

While Trujillo was teaching at the University of Michigan, before he came to CSUSM in 1994, an experiment was conducted that demonstrated a correlation between a person's potential as a drug user and the amount of opiate-like molecules (called endogenous opioids) produced by that person's brain. Ironically, as the United States is currently dedicated to fighting the drug war of today, heroin (among other drugs) used to be legal at different points in history.

Next they must do their homework by exploring all prospective employers. Sources that are available to them are websites, libraries and other search engines. The CATSS website is www.csusm.edu/ CATSS. Statistics show that an employer spends 4 to7 seconds when viewing a resume for the first time. The resume is the first chance to highlight your assets and abilities, so it must be brief and concise. The career and transfer center encourages all students to bring in their resume to critique which is done in 24 hours. Once your resume is completed and critique it can be posted on a website. The career and transfer center also helps prepare students for interviewing by conducting mock interviews. Once all this preparation is completed, students need to talk with each other and explore the hidden job market where j obs are available only by word of mouth. Five to six hundred other people had similar encounters at the 90 booths set up for companies and organizations like the U.S. Army and GEICO Direct. While some students experienced success as they walked through the Job and Resource Fair 2004 that the Career and Transfer Student Services Center (CATSS) hosted, others felt a little less fortunate. Joel Schwartz, an undecided freshman, carrying the f ree pens and pencils recruiters had given him, said he was looking for part time seasonal summer work, and that the fair wasn't really set up for people his age. Another student said there was too much part time work presented and not enough career opportunities. It was evident that the job seeker's confidence and outlook toward the job fair had an influence on success. Rosa Arguelles, a junior in the college of business, said she found possibilities with Wells Fargo, the YMCA and Social If a company doesn't have a certain job, its recruiters can probably point to another company that does. "Eighty to 85 percent ofjobs are found through personal contacts," Wells said. Most employers want students with "soft skills": teamwork and interpersonal skills. Students need to articulate their abilities to companies. support helped us tremendously lecturers that won't be back here to actually augment our fall and next semester, but they might be spring offerings, at the same time back in f uture years as we start offering courses in summer for to get some money flowing back. those who need it."

There will be some f ar we've have had to cut pieces out, but not any f ull programs." To offset the effects of budget reductions, the college will be relying partially on "fundable feasible projects," or providing channels through which outside agencies may contribute financially. "There will be corporate people in the community that will see a d irect relationship to getting good quality graduates out of this university - they may be willing and able to donate equipment," said Golich. Ghiara explained the gravity of the four independent budget reductions to the college in the past year, saying, "Last year we had some money that had been T H E P RIDE Photo by Jon Rodley/77ze Pride Legoland was one of 90 companies at the job fair. Here are several steps of preparing to enter the j ob market. Self-assessment is important. It's imperative for students to know what they want out of life. What are their strengths and weaknesses? What skills and abilities do they have to offer the employer and, most importantly, what is their ability to articulate those abilities to sell themselves to the employer? Security. "It was a great chance to meet people for making connections," Arguelles said. Granted that only limited jobs are available at a job fair, Pam Wells, associate director for the CATSS said that "everybody is a potential contact." "It w as a g reat c hance t o m eet p eople f or m aking c onnections." - Rosa Arguelles, student Job fairs are for business majors and arts and science majors, Wells said, but it's "more of a stretch" f or arts and sciences students. "Any kind of (work experience) is something to add to a resume." While the j ob fair is not to be c onfused with a career fair, it does give students an eye into the working world. Jessica Brooks, a non-student f rom San Diego has j ust that. She said she's been to 15 j ob fairs in the past month and found the fair a "very promising experience." A s the wind calmed and the fair came to a close, Brooks walked away with resumes, notes, and brochures in her hands. With the right j ob in mind she said she would "go home and fill out an application . .. and send it in." For education and graduate students the CATSS will host an Education j ob fair Friday, April 23 and will also host a graduate/professional school fair October 18. CUTS,from page 2 rolled over f rom prior years, so we had a little cushion going into last year.

Fair Trade movement Tuesday, April 20, 2004 an average of $4 per day, less than one cup of latte at the corner Starbucks. Coffee is a worldwide product, second only to oil as a commodity, requiring the labor of millions of people in nearly 80 countries. The producers, many small independent farmers, however, can't sell their coffee directly to the marketplace. Given the lack of co-ops, unions, or other organized groups, they are forced to sell their beans to middlemen at prices drastically below the market price or value of their harvest. These organizations, by virtue oftheir size andpurchasingpower, then influence the worldwide price for wholesale beans. Compounding the problem, many of the small farmers must go to the middlemen for pre-harvest loans, often at high interest rates, furthering the debt cycle between the farmer and the middlemen. The upshot of this apparent injustice is the "Fair Trade" coffee movement. Inspired by groups such as TradeFair, Oxfam Canada, Oxfam America and other non-profit groups committed to seeking solutions for hunger and poverty worldwide, it promotes the direct purchase of coffee beans from certified Fair Trade producers. Additionally, it encourages the formation of democratic cooperatives or associations controlled by the farmers. These associations must also commit to implementing crop management and environmental protection plans to ensure the safety of the environment. Indeed premiums are offered to those willing to work towards organic production. Dripping more cash on down to the coffee farmer by cutting out the middleman BY JEN JONES Pride Staff Writer It comes as no surprise to most that a million dollar Harry Winston diamond necklace did "not cost H arry Winston anywhere near a million dollars to produce. In fact Harry Winston did not mine, cut, polish or even set the diamond. Middlemen did this and took their cut. The same can be said for many commodities that pass through middlemen on the way to the consumer. Nevertheless, the disparity between how much a producer is able to command for his product, versus the retail amount eventually charged for the product, has never been greater, or more unjust, than that facing the small independent coffee farmer. According to Oxfam Canada, of the 25 million coffee producers, approximately 15 million are small farmers. And TradeFair, an organization dedicated to abolishing unjust working conditions in Latin America, claims many small, independent coffee farmers earn University V oice What is the worst thing about being a student?

"It really helped me to have professor VonSon push me to my potential. I was really afraid at my first conference because I was presenting my student written paper to a group of doctors and experts.

Castellano hopes to make a difference in the lives of others and their careers the same way some of his professors have helped him. He encourages other professors to focus on each student's future and potential, to go beyond the class requirements and help the students to the next level of their future. "If I did not have that type of support I would not have won the grad student award," Castellano said, "And would not be where I am today."

In 2000, the price paid by the middlemen to the farmer was only .38 cents per pound. Fair Trade guarantees $1.26 per pound. Not all Free Trade claims can be taken at face value. Recently, a coffee-roasting company in Massachusetts, Dean's Beans Organic Coffee Company, took aim at a popular brand, Newman's Own Organics, for being less than t ruthful in its claim to be a Fair Trade coffee company. Newman's Own had recently started its own Fair Trade Line of coffee, claiming that its coffee was of Fair Trade origin. Dean's Beans, which purchased all 250,000 pounds of its coffee beans f rom Third World farmers at prevailing Fair Trade prices, claims that Newman's Own merely includes an insignificant amount of Fair Trade beans in its mix, so as to use Fair Trade solely as a marketing ploy. While it will likely take a long time to change the buying patterns of the largest retail coffee companies in the United States, some progress is being made. Universities, such as Tufts, and Brown are already using Fair Trade coffee. Starbucks, one of the largest coffee retailers in the world, has agreed to implement a one-year trial with the product to see if its customers like it. Locally, The Educated Bean sells Fair Trade coffee right here on campus. Keith Kramer, who works at the Educated Bean, said, "He wishes more people supported I wish m ore p eople s u p p o r t e d F air T rade." Keith Kramer, owner E ducated B ean is "happy that the Educated Bean is selling Fair Trade coffee, because it insures that farmers are paid fairly and able to provide for their families."

Personally I was aware that you were able to run for ASI. It was clearly posted on message boards around campus. I don't think you could go through a day of school and not pass an announcement that there were ASI elections. ASI even gave us chances to run as a write in. I do not think this is socialism, this is democracy. Those who don't participate in the process will not get their voice heard. I am disappointed that there was such a low turn out of candidates - we lack university life. Personally I think this student was j ust disgruntled because, like me we were too lazy to go in to the ASI office, and fill out an application. I have a message for all students if you're interested: RUN, it's not hard. As for the person who wrote the article about a proposed cost of $4 per semester in child care, I think you should step back and imagine if you were a college student with a baby. If you have a baby you don't exactly have all the money in the world. To have a day care that is close, reliable and cheap will alleviate tension for the mother or father. They will then be more productive and will learn faster. This is true for all jobs. If corporations or employers offered complementary child care, they would be more productive because the parent w on't worry about the kid. Think of it as an investment. I 'd like to close by saying fussing and crying won't do something, action will, running for office will. Please participate in the process active students create to make an active campus - it will be fun and interesting. It will be the "college experience!" Felipe Zanartu undeclared, sophomore Posting on boards is not active enough Dear Mr.Zanartu: I'm glad to hear that you were one of the VERY FEW students who were privileged to hear about the ASI elections this year. I am also aware that messages were posted on message boards around the campus. However, as you should know, student response is typically low from anything posted on the message boards. I know this because of my own experiences with the boards. You are right; I probably couldn't have gone a day without passing one of the posted messages on the boards. Just because students are "passing b y" these boards, does not imply that they are reading them. This is simply not an efficient way to reach out to the student population for an event of this magnitude. Yes, it is quite amazing that there are so many opportunities at our university that go unfulfilled. What a shame. Also, you claim that in order to complain you must participate. Where is this written in any rules? I must have missed that. Criticism is often a way to participate in a democracy. Censorship of criticism is totalitarianism. Also, for your information I DID run for office last year. I believe that fact, more than anything, gives me the right to be critical of the failures of our current ASI board members. In exercising my Constitutional right to freely express myself, you have found fault. I find that ironic considering the club you are a member of and what it advocates - PAN. In closing, you state that "crying and fussing" won't do anything, action will. My response to this as far as the ASI election is concerned: any productive ACTIONS taken by ASI in the first place would have eliminated any criticism on my part. Respectfully, Austin Myers Senior, Social Sciences Major It's not ASI's fault regarding election turnout Dr Mr. Myers: Thank you for your input. Please understand I am not trying to suppress your freedom of speech, I love free speech. Some times criticism sounds like suppression - it certainly feels like that when I argue over issues like war and the patriot act and I am called unpatriotic. We are better than that, and if you feel I suppressed your free speech I am sorry, please forgive me. Regarding action, I believe like you criticism is good. Even though every time I criticize the right I am attacked. I understand their attack is like going on defense. Please understand it sucks to have a student government that wins unopposed, but it happens some times even in the local elections. However this is not something you can entirely blame on ASI. As you know, I stated I f eel this campus has a serious lack of campus life. A lot of the time we have people who don't care for either side* It sucks, but Students debate how ASI handled this year's election you know there are people who care about office, and at least in my opinion, they would look at the message boards in order t a change campus policy. Once again, thank you for your response. I love debate and I don't want to live in a totalitarian regime. In fáct Nick B. (CR's) and I are organizing a debate (fair and balanced) to get out the vote and inform people on our side of the issues. I hope we have your blessings with that event. Thank you once again for your response. Respectfiilly, Felipe Robinson Zañartu Internal VP, Historian, PANews Help would be better than criticism accountability would've resonated with you since y ou're a republican and that's one of republicanisms core principles - but I guess I was wrong. You suggest that your antics have somehow "enraged" me - nothing could be further from the truth. On the one hand, your letters make me laugh. On the other hand, your letters make me sad because they are indicative of the poison that has seeped into the American democratic process. What I mean is that, too often not only in our politics but in our lives, when people have a problem with something, they somehow feel their civic duty is upheld by doing nothing more than nay-saying, when what is really needed is that they engage their political leaders with not only their nay-saying, but their suggestions for how their world could be improved for the benefit of all in the future. If anything, I think anyone looking at our two letters next to each other would see that it is you, not I, who is "enraged." Maybe if you hadn't bottled up all your ideas for how the elections could've been better promoted during the process, you wouldn't currently be harboring all that psychologically unhealthy anger. You might want to do something about that. "Respectfully" Your #1 Fan, Erik Roper Austin, I didn't attack you. I merely pointed out a glaring irony in your exercise of free speech. I never said you weren't entitled to your opinion either. Also, you are incorrect in asserting that it is my job to inform the students about elections. It is a task for the entire board of directors, with the effort typically being spearheaded by the ASI Elections Committee. But, you would've known that if you had ever bothered to engage ASI with your concerns about the degree of elections publicity at any time during the process. Additionally, with regard to the first sentence of your most recent "respectfully" rendered message to me, I never asserted that it was your j ob to publicize the election. I was merely pointing out that your passion for this issue seems highly incongruent with your Dear Mr. Roper, Erin Dalman lack of suggestions for how it and all other ASI Board could be improved and/or your Members: afore mentioned apparent lack I am glad that we all agree that of concern during the elections the ASI elections were a failure process, which was demonstrated this year. by the fact that you never came That was the purpose in my to ASI to voice your concerns. writing the article that was I also think it pertinent to point out that there was just as much, if printed in The Pride. Also, I do apologize for naming only Erik not more advertising to promote Roper and Erin Dalman in my the election this year than last article. According to Erik Roper year - yet less candidates ran I should have named every for office. You assert that ASI member of our ASI board as is to blame for this reduction in participation and I "respectfully" they are all responsible for the publicizing of the ASI election. reject that completely. Also on a different note. I would Democracy is a two-way like to inquire why certain votes street. At some point the people were not accounted for in the need to engage in the democratic election. I know that I and others process of their own volition. voted for a specific individual Government can't do everything who did not appear in the for everybody. Where's the election results as having gained personal responsibility, the any votes. accountability? Mr. Roper, maybe people are Before I saw these recent not engaging in the political letters you've been sending, process because when they do I would've thought that , their yot£Sw ar§ d iscount^ , the concept of individual* - * ASI has not accounted for every vote were those I mention above. I ask that ASI account for EVERY vote and allow for our protest to be heard. I feel my voice is being crushed by those votes for a specific write-in was not tallied. A lso,! would like to know how Mr. Zanartu gained the knowledge of whom I voted for and the others that joined me.I believe this is a blatant violation of my privacy and I am angry about that. As far as my need to do something about my "psychologically unhealthy anger," I have none Mr. Roper. Are you playing a game of "Blame the Victim"? I am quite pleased with the responses I have received from you and others regarding this issue and I believe that I have made a contribution by bringing awareness to the topic at hand. Mr. Roper, do you not also bring awareness to social wrongs via protest? As I recall you did protest the College Republicans SUV show last year and no one criticized your act of protest. However, when I protest in order to bring awareness, it is wrong. This is "highly incongruent." As far as there being enough advertising for the election, I was not even aware one was going on until an article was printed in The Pride about the candidates all running unopposed. Perhaps, advertising was the same as last year: minimal. But I suppose that is what we have come to expect of our ASI leaders: minimal effort for towards truly "student relevant" issues. ASI should have been aware of the need to step it up a notch when they noticed that only a few candidates were applying. With all this said, I am glad that my effort to publicize my criticisms has brought awareness to the issue. That was my sole purpose and I thank you for allowing me to accomplish that. Respectfully, Austin Myers Any last words? Personally, I find it ironic that while Myers spent considerable time over the last two weeks lambasting ASI for how we, in his view, poorly publicized the election, he spent zero time on suggesting ways we could improve the process for next year. Once again, thanks for nothing Austin!

I decided not to purchase a parking permit this semester and things were going pretty good until the meter maid gave me a ticket for $25. I was enraged that the parking establishment would insist that I receive a monetary punishment for not becoming a member in their "parking club." Since the whole incident of receiving the citation I have carried through with a conscious decision of not to park on campus, and by going through with this plan I am no longer supporting the parking regime and its sinister quirky ways.

No cell phones in the library, please BY CLAUDE SAYF Pride Staff Writer Cell phone mania has officially spread like a plague through the United States. Every American has a cell phone and uses it everywhere, including public bathroom stalls and while driving and writing at the same time. People can't afford to miss a call these days. But nowhere is talking, whether on a cell phone or with a friend, more disrespectful than in the library. When I say, "in the library", that includes the computer lab. The library is a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. People go to the library to have some peace and quiet while enjoying a book or educating themselves on a topic of their choice. But Kellogg Library seems to be oblivious to that. People have absolutely no respect for the fact that rule number one in any library in the world is QUIET!

Indeed, the accompanying photograph of a couch sliced open exposing the fluffy goodness of its cushioning would tend to support the headline. However, i s this case, thus far, an example of actual vandalism? The California Penal Code defines vandalism and its penalty in section 594. This definition is as follows: "Every person who maliciously commits any of the following acts with respect to any real or personal property not his or her own, in cases other than those specified by state law, is guilty of vandalism: (1) Defaces with graffiti or other inscribed material, (2) Damages, (3) Destroys." For vandalism t o occur, an individual must "maliciously" deface, damage or destroy property not his or her own. This element has not been proven, a s of yet, in the case of the lounge couch. As I write this column, no person has been charged or even implicated with vandalism for the gash in the lounge couch. In fact, it has not yet been determined if there was malicious intent involved in this incident or if this hap- should be quiet enough for the tired and burnt out student to catch a quick catnap. A place where the sound of pages turning and computers clicking fills the hallways. A place where all cultures meet for the purpose of higher education. A place where knowledge rules and ignorance drools. The point at hand here is being quiet in the library. The computer lab should be reserved for quiet computer time. People need quiet to focus on the task at hand which I 'm sure is the same for all students. Graduate and get out as soon as possible. So quiet down people! ByChadSpinks N o f U i N 6 .

A s the lead for this article, staff writer Kyle Otto writes that this is "an incident of suspected vandalism." That statement is subsequently supported by the presentation of the contrasting interpretations of the incident by ASI VP of External A ffairs, Erik Roper, and Executive VP, John Gehris. Clearly, it is presumptive to identify this episode as a definite case of vandalism. This example is a reminder of how specific words can alter the reality of a situation. A s journalists, we constantly have t o reexamine the words that we choose to describe events, crimes or whatever we are reporting on.

Those types of mistakes often prove costly as libel lawsuits are likely to follow. Corrections for VOL. XI N O, 25 ; T he headline for Kyle Otto's article should reflect "property damage," not "vandalism." The article, "Cesar Estrada Chavez remembered," does not identify that the event was sponsored, in large part, by the California Governor's Office on Service and Volunteerism Grant that was awarded in 2002.

Chargers butting heads with city BY ROGER NARANJO Pride Staff Writer The City of San Diego and the Chargers are in a stalemate, which could take several years of litigation to resolve. Mixed reactions in the community have both sides struggling to gain favor among fans. The Chargers claim they have not been competitive because the current stadium venue isn't bringing in the required revenue when compared t o other NFL franchises. The city of San Diego feels the Chargers are obligated to their contractual use agreement of 1995, which states they must play their home games here in San Diego until 2020 and give the City 10 percent of the gross stadium income. In return the city spent more than $78 million on stadium improvements and a new Chargers practice facility. Who's right and who's wrong? On March 4, 2003, the Chargers delivered a renegotiation notice to the city of San Diego claiming a "triggering event" had occurred. This means that the Chargers are able to shop a different venue if their financial situation falls below a certain threshold in regard to salary caps, NFL broadcasting revenue and stadium gate receipts. Both the Chargers and the city disagree on the meaning of the phrase "triggering event." As a result parties are at odds whether a "triggering event" exists, and if so, the subject matter and scope of the required negotiation to avoid litigation. The city of San Diego would like to reach an agreement outside of court which would benefit both parties, Kir c ampus, Our voice, Take Pride T he Pride Student Newspaper Register f or next fall ¿Tuesdays @ 5:30 p.rog however, neither side is willing to come to that half point yet. The city, however, demands that the Chargers open their financial books to reconcile the disparity, but the Chargers don't quite see it that way. The city of San Diego claims there is insufficient information t o determine if an "impact" exists, since the Chargers aren't opening up their financial books. Go Chargers! With a losing record of 4-12 last season, there is mixed reaction in the community whether the San Diego Chargers should get a new stadium or not. Andrew Middleton, a student here at CSUSM said, "I think there's a better way the city can spend their money, dealing with the homeless situation is a good example." According to the NFL, the city of San Diego has seen its last Super Bowl unless a new stadium is built. Jesse Wood, a student here at CSUSM, believes the Chargers should get a new stadium built, "Yeah, because I think the Chargers generate a lot of money for San Diego." Currently, the city of San Diego and the San Diego Chargers, are in closed negotiation, which would end the ticket guarantee and place a ballot proposal for 2008. Last Thursday represented an inaugural holiday. No, there weren't any presents exchanged or any scurring about looking for eggs. In fact, most people did not even know it was a holiday. Last Thursday was the 5Th anniversary of the day Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball. Despite playing with eight Major League Baseball (MLB) teammates on the field, Robinson has announced that every April 15 will forever be known as was alone in the world. Even Jackie Robinson Day. One word though he went through all of can explain my feelings about that suffering Robinson managed to have a successful first year by this — finally. In 1947, Jackie Robinson was winning the rookie of the year signed by Branch Rickey to award.

From there, he eventually joined ABC in 1965. Robinson had more impact on became a star in the Negro the future of baseball than he leagues of baseball. There were much better players in the Negro would ever know. He inspired leagues at the time, but none numerous black baseball players had the ability to shoulder the who are now considered some of responsibility that Robinson took the greatest such as "Hammerin" Hank Aaron and "The say hey on. kid" Willy Mays.

How about free books or a parking permit? Well, now's your chance! The California State Student Association (CSS A), your statewide student government, is currently holding a contest titled the "CSSA Challenge." If you go to www.csustudents.org and answer five simple questions you'll have your chance. And, if you don't win the contest don't worry because your Associated Students is looking out for you. This past weekend we (Manal Yamout and Shannon Barnett, President and VP external affairs elect) attended the monthly CSSA conference hosted by San Francisco State. While at the conference we discussed several issues that could have drastic impacts on the quality of your education and the amount of money in your pocket. These issues ranged from a CSSA sponsored bill aimed at reducing textbook costs to the statewide student walkout planned for April 26th. It's wrong for the state government to balance the budget on the backs of students. That is why we need you to join us in walking out, getting on the bus, and protesting any further increase in our fees. On Monday, April 26th at 9:00am come down to Craven circle by the flag poles to get on the bus and join us in telling the Governor not to raise our fees. Sign up to get on the bus in the ASI office, Commons 207, or email r oper004@csusm.edu for more information.

Obviously nowhere close to sleeping, but somewhere above homework. Most likely invented by men to check out the women they've been dragging along ever since, bowling has fallen out of vogue within the last decade. But lane locations such as the Vista Entertainment Center hope to reel in at least a part of the college crowd with promotions offering discounted rates on shoes, games and food. At the Vista Entertainment Center, "Dollar Tuesdays" are designed to draw students f rom local colleges by renting shoes for a dollar, selling games for a dollar apiece and, at the snack bar, cooking up dollar food specials. A valid student I.D. is required to take advantage of the special rates, which run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and again from 9 p.m. to midnight every Tuesday. With the proliferation of bright, new bowling centers charging four or five dollars per game, older lanes have found that offering good deals is a good way to revive business. And a dollar per sidering that f ull price is $3.75 at the Vista Entertainment Center. Dollar Tuesdays draw a unique crowd, to say the least. Well less than half of t h e bowlers last Tuesd ay w ere from Cal State San Marcos or other local college campuses. The rest of the patrons reflected the diversity of Vista, with skill levels ranging f rom bumper bowlers to would be pros, complete with the post-strike strut (think rooster with a beer belly). Décor in the Vista Entertainment Center heralds back to the glory days of bowling, when games were only a dollar to begin with. Yellow and orange letters accent the brown signs and walls in this seventies, western-themed bowling alley complete with a men's bathroom labeled "Studs." Along the back of the lanes, box seats sit eerily empty, a strange sight for college students used to scavenging for an empty desk. The lanes themselves show signs of good maintenance, and the rest of the equipment is in good condition. The Vista Entertainment Center also has a recently renovated laser tag room, a sports bar and a banquet hall, although none of these are included during Dollar Tuesdays. To help determine where bowling stands in the list of popular student activities, the usual D ollar T uesdays p rovide a s ide-trip i nto a s ubculture s eldom e xplored b y c ollege s tudents. questions apply: Is it convenient? Is it cheap? Besides being both of these, Dollar Tuesdays provide a side-trip into a sub-culture seldom explored by college students (think mullets, tattoos and slippery shoes). Photo illustration by Jeremy Long Student band Angel Carry Me lives among us By ALLISON SANSBURY Pride Staff Writer They could be sitting next to you in class. You have your suspicions but you can't be sure. Black t-shirt. Tight jeans. Chuck Taylors. It is true. There are rock-stars on campus. Seth Gretlein and Andrew Middleton, two talented students from CSUSM have started a brand new band and they call themselves Angel Carry Me. Their sound is harder than the common interpretation of punk music but not quite death metal. Their vocals sound like a lower toned Davey Havok of AFI. They generate powerful drums and bass sounds that cause the ground to rumble, feet to shake and bodies to move. Gretlein, a 22 year old junior majoring in Communications has more energy than the Energizer Bunny. Even after studying for school and working on campus, Seth can still beat the drums faster and better than certain musicians who strive to be the best. Music will always be a part of Gretlein's life. He used to work at Warehouse music, until it was shut down due to the bittersweet technological development known so profoundly as: the Internet. "The Warehouse was awesome," Gretlein says. His job consisted primarily of helping customers find and purchase music but there weren't always customers in the store. With an open and sometimes empty music store equipped with a top of the line sound system and a five disk CD changer Gretlein spent his time consuming mass amounts of music. Madame Melanie Photy by Allison Sansbury/77ie Pride A s you might have s uspected S eth Gretlein, aka Gremlin, (pictured above) a resident of the University Village A partments, likes to rock. Andrew Middleton, the bassist, is a senior majoring in Communications. He is 23 years old and tutors younger students with a portion of his spare time. Middleton also spends time with his girlfriend when he is not jamming with the band, as does Gretlein. Robbie Blatt plays guitar and attends Miramar Community College.

In his spare time he enjoys being single and watching movies with other single people. When he is not busy bellowing out his voice box on stage, the singer, Dave Tompkins, currently has job where he too gets to engulf himself in music, among other things. Tompkins is a DJ at Pacers. At 26 he is the oldest member of the band. The first CD by Angel Carry Me will debut in summer 2004. Libra- (Sept 2 3-0ct 23) Those dark circles under your eyes could scare little kids.

Photo courtesy of Artemis Records By ROGER NARANJO Pride Staff Writer ee Stuck in limbo between pop and soft punk, Sugarcult tries to please both sides of the genre. Their new album entitled, "Palm Trees and Power Lines," is punk pop with no edge. The sound is typical MTV material which is reminiscent of the "American Pie" soundtrack. Drum lines build to climactic crescendos one can anticipate with little enthusiasm. The guitar r iffs are standard, redundant power chords which bands like Blink-182 and Green Day have already done and surpassed. The singer harmonizes well with the guitar melodies and back up vocals; however, he is overpowered by the use of lyrical clichés. One song recites "She's the blade and you're j ust paper." Though this band is musically tight, they seem to be driven by record label executives instead of their own style. They have a good chance in the music industry if they just stick musically to their raw gut instincts. Truly the pop punk explosion has exploded and Sugarcult missed the chance to cash in here in the US. In Japan, however, there seems to be a Sugarcult buzz.

Here at CSUSM we have a wide variety of students living on campus, living o ff campus, and commuting f rom large distances away. Whatever a student's living arrangements are within college it is something that changes while students advance into adulthood. DO: Plan ahead, details are important According to apart- mentreviews.net one of the f irst things students can do is get an idea of what t ype of place they are interested in, having a backyard, t ypes of f looring, washer/dryer included, pets or no pets, how many bathrooms, garage space and the list could be endless. Understanding that each detail uncovered could make the search easier or more d ifficult depending on if the requirements are available. Once they have their requirements in mind, searching for numerous places, either online or in the local newspaper is key to f inding the right place. DO: Schedule a walk through Apartmentreviews.net also suggests that once a few places have been selected, students should contact the landlord or leasing agency in order to schedule a walk-through. Finding a place that matches all the desired emminites students before commit-, ting should invest in doing a care- ful walk through to look or r epairs, improvements and questions about the location. C ertain apartment complexes have noise r estrictions, p arking restrictions, and other regulations that students should investigate during the walk through. DON'T: Don't be shy to ask questions Most a partments required at least a six to 12 month lease, so asking questions early before committing will be a b enefit so there are no s urprise f ees or c onfusion on the lease agreement. DON'T: Don't forget to bring important documents Bringing things like a credit check, resume, or pay stubs/ tax r eturns are documents generally asked for. A fter giving documents like t his to a landlord or leasing agents it helps to be prepared. Many landlords/ leasing agents will want to v erify a s tudent's references so calling these references beforehand i nforming them of these incoming calls could b enefit a s tudent's success while searching. A s s tudents, many of us may not have a long enough or good enough credit h istory to b e a sole signer to an a partment, a co-signer may be required, so investigate credit h istory and t alk to p arents or close f riends about having a possible co-signer. DO: Talk to the neighbors Sometimes the realitor or landlord really j ust wants to push the sale, getting an unbias opinion really matters when c ommitting to the possible perfect place and t alking to the neighbors o ffers a second opinion about the neighborhood. Apartmentreview5.net recommends that m eeting the neighbors is an aspect a student must consider, since sharing walls w ith neighbors may a ffect a s tudent's living choices. When talking to neighbors, students can f ind out about how neighbors feel about noise, if they are f riendly, and what they like about the neighborhood.

CSUSM is now 32-12 on the year. Point Loma is 24-12. As is o ften the case when top-15 t eams play, pitching was the story. N AIA w ins leader Brenna Sandberg was on her game and on the mound for all 15 innings on Saturday. She was particularly brilliant in game one, tossing a 2-hit, 11-strikeout, complete game 8 -inning shutout to once again out-duel PLNU A ll-American Tyler Lent. Both pitchers allowed j ust one hit in the regulation seven i nnings, sending the contest to extras. With Lauren Nelson placed on second in the t op of the eighth, Shanti Poston delivered the hit of the ballgame, doubling to l eft-center to score the g ame's first r un. I n the bottom of the i nning, center fielder Elizabeth Bush caught a line drive and alertly doubled o ff the r unner at second to e ffectively end Point L oma's chances. The w in makes Sandberg t he first-ever 30-game w inner for CSUSM s oftball, and the first N AIA pitcher t his season t o reach 30. In game two, Point Loma scored in the first i nning on a double-steal and was able to hold the lead f or all seven innings. Sandberg c ertainly kept her t eam in the game, locking down the Sea L ions' o ffense and allowing j ust 3 h its and 1 w alk. She struck out t wo batters. CSUSM h ad its chances, recording 5 hits and drawing 3 walks, but Sea Lions s tarter H annah Faria worked t hrough it to complete t he shutout. Nelson had two h its in the losing e ffort. W hile Point Loma is one of t he best t eams in the N AIA, the C ougars w ill get another shot against the absolute best in the N AIA on Tuesday at Cal Baptist.

You know, in that way Everyone is a geek BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer Everyone loves being pleased. Every time it happens, it's like your birthday. Someone is taking time out of their day and their personal lust for physical gratification so that you can get your jollies off. And it might include cake and ice cream when it's all over, so technically, you both win. Know when I say "pleasing" your partner, I mean pleasing them in terms that may not include intercourse in any way. This can include outercourse, emotional pleasing, or j ust simply being happy together. I am sure all of us out there want to please our partners because (it's true) we love them. We love them and we want them to get the most out of our sexual experiences. Whether we want to get down and start pleasing our men/women remember that you are in love. If you are not in love and just there for the ride, then you're either a horrible person or in d enial. But n onetheless, whether you love the person you're with or not, remember that this form of outercourse might as well be just as serious as intercourse and the necessary safety precautions should be taken. But according to a friend that I know very well, the one thing all of you need to remember, no matter your sex or your partner's, remember this sequence: clockwise for 20 seconds, counter clockwise 10 seconds, left, right, left, right, and clockwise for 10 seconds. If this doesn't work, don't blame me, it sounded legitimate (plus he has credentials, he's a psychology major). But then again, if you really want to use this logic of love making, you might as well follow the Contra code (anybody else remember it? Up, up, down, down, l eft, right, left, right, B, A, START). I apologize if I offend anyone, but everyone is a geek. Society has dragged this term through the mud and made it into an insult. Being a geek is simply being passionate about something. No matter the person, everyone is a geek. I am a geek about movies, especially zombieflicks,Westerns, and sci-fi. I enjoy all video games from shooters, to strategy, to role-playing. I will even admit that I still dabble in Pokémon, because it is a great game. Actually, Pokémon is very similar to fantast football or basketball brackets considering the strategy and tactics involved. My passion for these things makes me a geek. In high school, I would have been ashamed, but now I am empowered by it. I do not care if people mock me, because these are what I like. Everybody gets their kicks off something, whether it is sports, "Star Trek," animals, "World of Warcraft," coffee, cars, or anything else, it is perfectly normal. It is abnormal to not be passionate about something. If you take abuse for what you love, my advice is do not stop. Never give up something you love because of what someone else says. Ignore those who put you down, because if they get in the way of your passions, they do not care about you. On the other hand, control your passion. Do not force it on other people. Just because you like something, you do not have the authority to make others like it. Introduce them with small doses. Even too much for you can be self-destructive. If you enjoy knocking others because they enjoy something "geeky," look at yourself. You are not so different. Think about what your passions. Just because society deems what you like "cool," you are still a geek. In the end, you are going to be alone. Whether you have developed a love of sports statistics or action figures, embrace what you do. Being a geek is nothing to make fun of, because every single person reallya geek. And that is a good thing. The division of addition and illegal aliens BY BLAINE H MOGIL Pride Staff Writer Through the addition of immigrants seeking a better life, we have become a nation of division. There no longer remains a singular us, but a divided us and them. Some divisions hide below the surface, while others stand tall, reaching out across hundreds of miles of desert, separating us from our friends and neighbors in Mexico. Our nation is losing her way and her moral compass in need of repair. Our nation today is one obsessed with political correctness. We live in a time where we so fear offending others that we separate and insulate ourselves. In the process, honest communication is lost. Together, we must revive honest and open communication in order to reunite and reconnect. While we avoid the offensive labeling of others with derogatory nomenclature out of political correctness, we have at the same time ironically adopted the use of the highly offensive word "alien" to describe immigrants. In the process we have created the great chasm of us and them by burning the bridge that connects us. It is time for us to openly agree to disagree with each other, return to communicating honestly with one another, and together find ways to peacefully coexist. This will illuminate the path back to a united us. The United States of America is a country that many people consider the greatest on earth. This honor can only be earned through deeds, and not through hollow claims of greatness. As a nation, we have forgotten our history. We have forgotten who we are and where we have come from. We have forgotten what, at the very heart, makes our nation great. It is the immigrant. We are all immigrants. Every last one of us is an immigrant. There is not one person living anywhere in North America, let alone within the confines of United States borders who does not owe their lives here to immigration. We implore the world to "bring us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses," with an engraved invitation on that most American symbol of freedom: the Statue of Liberty. Do we have the brazen audacity to forget the vital lessons of how, and by whom, this great nation was built? How dare we assume a political posture that somehow today immigrants are no longer worthy enough to live on this soil? How dare we see immigrants as some type of invasive foreign entity that will somehow destroy the very fabric of our society? How dare we label our fellow citizens of this small planet with the dehumanizing term of illegal "aliens?" We should be ashamed of ourselves for even thinking about people who have immigrated here in such a demeaning and derisive manner. The Native American Indians arrived here, by many accounts, across a bridge of ice from Asia over ten thousand years ago in search of a better life. The Viking Erik the Red led his people here over a thousand years ago in search of a better life. While searching for shorter trade routes to the Far East in search of exotic spices, Spain settled colonies here nearly five hundred years ago, with the Puritans following their lead a hundred years later. America has long brought together people from all walks of life, and added the richness of their cultures to the American melting pot. For hundreds of years mixing together the cultural spices of myriad cultures has created the great banquet of American society. Yet today we fear that by adding any more immigrants to this mix from south of the border will somehow throw this great banquet out of balance. This is an idea which is baseless, fallacious and ludicrous. The only thing more ridiculous is building a wall across our southern border to keep Mexican immigrants out. The wildly incredible claim that this wall will keep out terrorists and drug traffickers is simply a rouse. The wall is a monument built solely to placate a public that has been whipped into frenzy of fear by conservative talk show hosts. Terrorists and drug traffickers will find the wall no hindrance. If terrorists and drug traffickers want to circumvent the wall, they will continue to go over, under, around it. More likely they will find another way into our country as they prefer the path of least resistance. This 'Wall of Shame' is the only thing remotely as ignominious as calling our neighbors "aliens." Now is the time for us to abandon our status as an "Alien Nation" and reclaim our status as a nation of the world. To paraphrase President Reagan's Berlin speech, we as a nation need to come to understand, once again, the importance of freedom. We need to develop new policies of reform and openness." This can be the beginning of profound change here in the United States. But this change must be real, and not simply a series of token gestures intended to create false hope. I understand the fear of terror and the pain of division that afflicts this country. Please, President Obama, pledge that our country will overcome these burdens. As President Reagan said, "We believe that freedom and security go together." So President Obama, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the United States and North America, I say to you now President Obama, tear down this wall. As this symbolic and very real representation of the division between us is felled, so too will the division between us and those who seek a better life here in the United States fall. And then can the healing begin, and can hopes and dreams be rise from the ashes of bridges burned. �Viewpoint T HE P RIDE Tuesday, April 21, 2009 3 Classifieds Retired investment executive w/adv. degree in Mathematics and six years college math instruction exp. is avail, to tutor college level math courses.

"Pollen allergy, commonly An allergy reaction is the called hay fever, is one of the immune system's response to a false alarm, the immune system reads an allergen as a foreign containment in the body and thus begins to attack it and causes itchy eyes, a runny nose, and often coughing and sneezing. Researchers develop theories to determine the leading source that cause allergies, but a pin pointed reason remains unknown. Theories include that in modern living, homes are very 'clean and often have very little germs, thus this ultra clean environment never allows the immune system to adapt and learn how tofightoff airborne allergies because of the lack of exposure. The NIAID supported scientist's research that discovered a link between children whom grew up with one or two cats or dogs i n their home and their susceptibility to allergies. The study revealed that the children were less likely to develop allergies. The early exposure to the constant pet allergen may have been the contributing factor for an allergy free life. Another leading theory is heredity. "Children are more likely to develop allergies if one or both parents have allergies. In addition, exposure to allergens at times when the body's defenses are lowered or weakened, such as after a viral infection or during pregnancy, seems to contribute to developing allergies," according to the NIAID. In severe forms of allergies, asthma is often connected. The respiratory symptoms of asthma, which affect approximately 11 million Americans, are often provoked by airborne allergens, according to NIAID. So what is being done to help aid this epidemic? Many cleaning products are taking action against this more than common bother, by creating products that are allergen reducers, such as Fabreze® Fabric Refresher™. The allergen reducer claims to reduce more than 75 percent of pollen and dust mite allergens in fabrics.

The three-hour fair took place on University Hall Plaza. This cultural tradition was organized by University Global Affairs Committee and was sponsored by Co-Curricular Funding Award, Office of Global Education, ASI, SLL, LLC and Many Student Organizations The International Fair gives CSUSM students, friends, faculty, and staff the opportunity to come together and appreciate the many cultures that make our university. One of the most anticipated traditions of the International Fair is the free sample dishes from Europe, Latin America, Asia and many more. Every year, the German booth's popularity seems to increase. Senior CSUSM student, Jean Scheuneman says, "Every year we get 300 Rohwurst. We never know how many people are going to show up, but we just do the best we can and we get a lot of people from our club to help out." Aside from all the mouth-wa- tering food, the International Fair featured entertainment with performances by TAM TAM Mandingue, West African drummers, and Hip Hop group Soul Junkies.

Photos by Gabriela Martinez Theater department brings Big Love to C SUSM BY CHRIS SHAW Pride Staff Writer understanding the real nature of love. The dialogue ranges with dramatic irony, as the female and male characters unveil the hardships we all face in gender roles. The play begins with a sensual bathtub scene andfiftybrides arriving in Italy as they have fled from their assigned marriages in Greece. The performer's versatile abilities portray the complexity of each character. Jason Gonzales (Giuliano), Cole Tran (Leo), Claudina E. Evans and Tiffany-Raven Peters (Eleanor), and Jessica Swan (Bella), shed moments of laugh-out-loud humor and inner giggles. The audience will surely not forget performances Hie CSUSM Visual and Performing Arts brought "Big Love" to our campus with a spark of dramatic flare and infectious enthusiasm last week with performances from April 15-19. As an audience spectator, I had no choice but to give some big love to all of the performers. Don't be fooled by the play's title. Big Love does not succumb to cliched Varieties of romantic bliss and the Disney version of everlasting courtship. Directed by Marcos Martinez and produced by Charles Mee, "Big Love" delves deeper into by the three leading ladies played by Kristine Fernandez and Patricia Bowen (Olympia), Krista Potocny and Jessica Ruiz-Bustos (Lydia), and Yolanda Catano (Thyona). The brides and the three grooms played by Jesus Moreno and Drew Quizon (Nikos), Mucio Vidales (Constantine), and David Edwards (Oed) showed excellent stamina as they pounded their fists in tantrums, rolled on the floor in emotional agony, and combined yelling with moments of passionate subtlety. To set the tone for the evening, the audience is greeted by two women in bright white bride dresses as an usher with black rings around his eyes will open the door for you to the Arts 111 auditorium. You may have even seen theseflayingbrides run around the International Fair this past Thursday. As I arranged myself to sit in the middle row, the enchanting and classic wedding music set the tone for a memorable on-campus experience. The eerie mood will creep into your mind, a mood not only set by the plot, but also by the performances of everybody on stage. The stage, withflowingbackground images of Italy's countryside, remains simple with a bathtub and cylindrical bars. The simple stage allows the performers to make drastic body move- ments and choreographed ballroom dance scenes. The most impressive aspect of the performance shined through in the delivery of personal speeches in which the performer talks upfront to the audience. These personal speeches combine sweeping philosophical statements with very human perspectives on love. A refreshing emphasis of characterto-audience dialogue can be seen in this "Big Love" quote, "For the sake of healing, for life to go on, there will be no justice." For the sake of appreciating great theater, I clap loudly and smile on my home down the Chavez stairs.

The company formed in 1997. Two years later, the brewery became a brewpub. The restaurant side of the company offers their brewed beer, southern and Cajun styled food, and live blues music. In 2002, they claimed to have become the first US microbrewery to can its own beer. Employees hand-can the beer inside a 60-year-old barn. BevMo retails six 12 fluid ounce cans for $8.99. Six cans are held together by a plastic harness. The l abeling f eatures a bright red, blue, white, and silver color. The can looks like an American flag. The can pressurizes a brew with a 6.5% alcohol by volume. BevMo also sells four other Oskar Blues Brewery beers. Dale's Pale Ale pours chunky forming a menacing one-inch thick head. The head resides momentarily before dissipating into a thin lancet of yummy. The brew radiates a rich golden amber hue* The bitter aroma rising from the glass indicates the heavy use of malts and hops. The common name and the simple guise of can-in-a-beer does not do the beer justice. The brew enters smooth before a ravishing Jason Statham flying round house kick double punch assaults all areas of the mouth. After the initial blow, the taste buds recuperate only to ask for more. The boldness and thickness of the beer should pair well with heavy dinners such as steak and potatoes with lots of dinner rolls. Avoid consuming the beer alone. Enjoy the brew with anything, such as chips or beef jerky, to truly enjoy the beer's courageous flavor. As the essay and exam dates stack up stay focused, but take a moment of relaxation and enjoy the tasty Dale's Pale Ale. Cheers! BY MATT LEWIS Pride Staff Writer In today's troubled economy, if any kind of restaurant has been undaunted and continues to grow, it's the süshi bar. Although popular food chains and local favorites are closing every day all over the county, sushi bars continue to sprout up everywhere. Why? It is because the appeal of the sushi bar is more than just good food; the experience is what makes it memorable and keeps people coming back. Not the fake, constructed experience that some places (coughBenihanascough) have, but somewhere where the employee is not paid to smile and does anyway. The atmosphere of a restaurant and the dedication of its employees to making great food and entertaining customers seem like a lost art. A place that represents this idea perfectly is the Love Boat sushi bar and Japanese restaurant located in the new Las Posas plaza in San Marcos. In the past, people would visit restaurants and bars because of the repertoire they had with the people who work there. As corny as it sounds, restaurant customers are more likely to come Vital Information C SUSM LANGUAGE S S S S LEARNING CENTER Free Language Tutoring Reference & Media Library Online & Center Resources ...And More! U.Hall 240 www.csusm.edu/llc Don 't wait until it's too late! back to the place "where everybody knows your name". With the expansion of modern-day chain restaurants, this kind of intimacy has been lost in most places, where communication is most of the time limited to a speaker box. What sets the Love Boat apart from other res^ taurants is the experience you have with the "bartenders," the friendly sushi chefs who greet everyone as they enter, make recommendations on the best food that day, and are more than willing to spread around f ree drinks for a special occasion. The Love Boat's menu is typical enough: a blend of traditional sashimi style entrée's, the fusion sushi rolls like the California, and a generous menu of meat, fish and vegetable combinations cooked in Japanese fashion. They offer all the imported Japanese beers and sake the Other sushi restaurants do. Asking around, it becomes apparent that most people who go there are not there for the authenticity. "It's really more of a hangout spot than a restaurant for me" says CSUSM junior Jason Reyna. "We come out here after school or work when my friends and I have had a rough day, and it (the restaurant) just has a great positive vibe to it. The place doesn't have the seriousness (about drinking) of a bar or the formalism of á typi- cal restaurant. We come for that middle ground." Don't get the idea that the Love Boat is only a place for partiers, though. The restaurant is just as much f un as a family environment as well, according to regular patron and local business owner Andy Wegner. "When I bring my kids here, I don't have to worry about them being too distracting to the other people, because there's so much going on already" said Wegner. "At the same time, I prefer to bring them to a place where they can get food that is better for them than pizza or French fries or something." From religious sushi lovers to the first-timers, the Love Boat is the perfect choice for those looking for a local restaurant with a little something extra. For information on the hours for Love Boat San Marcos, call 760-471-7722. The Love Boat also has two other locations: Oceanside, on 125 Old Grove Rd, and now Rancho Bernardo at 11611 Rancho Bernardo Rd.

MOGIL Pride Staff Writer BY AMY SALISBURY Faces and Places Editor Thorn Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, and Phil Selway are arguably the gods of rock. Their alternative influence on modern music caught and kept worldwide attention since their first release over 16 years ago. I don't think I need to explain to you how awesome their music is. Radiohead is, after all, inexplicable. Aside from Radiohead clearly ruling their genre, the band is also on the forefront of utilizing green technology. Lead singer Thom Yorke's strides to raise awareness about global sustainability have brought about major change in the band's touring habits. In a 2008 interview with Treehugger magazine, Yorke criticizes the music industry's over-consumption of resources in order to make more tour dates while, in turn, bringing in more cash. Yorke, being the revolutionary he is, made Radiohead's 2008 In Rainbows tour the most eco-friendly tour of recent years. Liars, Radiohead's opening act, wrote about their touring experience in a blog on MySpace. "At the outset we were all given tour water flasks. Plastic anything is Photo courtesy ofmusicdealers.wordpress.com like contraband." Radiohead also decided to tour by bus rather than by plane because just a three-hour flight emits as much carbon dioxide as a Hummer would in a year. What's more, the buses and trucks used by the bands and crew ran on biofuel. Radiohead's merch website, waste.uk.com, revolves around western over-consumption. The merchandise producers do everything they can to make products that that have a minimal impact on the environment. The newest items are t-shirts for men and women made out of recycled plastic bottles and organic cotton. There are even some "unbranded" shirts for those of you who may not dig on Radiohead as much as you do on the planet. They also A neverending story BY JAMES SEBRING Pride Staff Writer Brian and I had found the canoe on the beach and decided to take it for a ride ouf onto the lake. We had been wading earlier and found that the water temperature was quite warm. It was almost like submerging into yourself, it was hard to tell if you were actually in the water. We had decided to go rowing out along the shoreline and see what was there. We rode along quietly with nothing more than a slight slushing of the paddles as they cut through the water, we surprised several animals who were basking along the edge of the lake. As we came around one bend, we came face to face with a large bull moose who was busy eating from the lush greenery at the water's edge. He immediately came to attention, alert to the danger we presented. Snorting his warning a couple times, he began to make a move to charge us. We had quickly and as quietly as possible, with as little movement as we could manage, come to a stop. A mere 5 to 10 feet separated us from the moose. The shear size of him was breath taking. Without conscious effort, I became aware of the sound of the insects and birds around us as well as the heat of the sun raising a prickly heat all over my skin. I almost swatted a mosquito that was gnawing at my forearm, when I realize the moose was watching my every movement intently. I whispered, "Paddle backwards very slowly." I made a very slow movement with the paddle, trying not to have the movement appear in any way threatening. Slowly the paddle moved forward through the water causing an imperceptible backward movement of the canoe. The heat seemed to rise as the moose's breathing caught mid-breath and he began to move his ears impatiently, his tail twitching side to side as his nervousness looked for an outlet. A second stroke of the paddle brought little more movement than the first. We seemed to be moving away by centimeters, more as a result of the wind and current than our paddling. A third and fourth stroke was giving us a slightly more perceptible movement, and just as I began to think we had successfully pulled it off, the moose charged. He covered the distance without any noticeable effort. Although his speed was breathtaking, time seemed to slow to the point of stopping. I watched the water give way to his feet, slowly spraying up into the air. I yelled and back paddled as hard as I could, but to no avail as the moose dipped his head, bringing his large rack to bear on the bow of the canoe. The canoe shuddered under offer a durable aluminum beverage container with the startling statistic "15 million plastic bottles of water are sold every year." The green attempts did not make the In Rainbows tour dull by any means. Brilliant, low-energy LED* lighting set the mood, and speaking out to publications like Treehugger and UK's The Guardian helped fans find more ecofriendly modes of transportation to concert venues. Radiohead's worldwide popularity can only serve to spread the word about musicians going green. Next time you take a plastic, single-use bottle to a show, consider what you could do to make Mother Earth love music even more. Popcorn storytelling the blow and launched upward into the air with apparent easy of a leaf being picked up by the wind. Brian and I were launched into the air and over the side as the canoe came to rest a short way from us. The moose seemed satisfied that he had dispensed the danger and turned to wander off into the woods. We swam to the canoe and after a brief inspection, realized it was not functional. We grabbed onto the debris and just floated along. The breeze was picking up and pushing us further away from the shore. It was also getting dark - rapidly. Here in the mountains, the sun seemed to almost switch off like a light switch. I could no longer tell which way the shore was. The warm water was as comforting as a warm snuggly blanket and I began to doze off. I began to listen to the rush of blood through my ears. My mind began to hallucinate, losing its grip on reality. It was telling me that everything was ok and I should relax and let go. I drifted down into the quiet warm darkness. I never felt so safe and secure. I felt no separation between myself and the outer world, I was one with the universe. My mind let go of everything and drifted off into the welcoming arms of eternity. great but the music is pedestrian, and forgettable.

The film broadly examines Tuesday is Earth Day and coin- Image courtesy ofDreamworks Pictures nature and highlights families of polar bears, elephants, and humpback whales. James Earl Jones lends his voice to the narration. It should make for exciting and compelling viewing on Earth Day and through the weekend. The rest of this week's bundle of films comes out on Friday, and like "Earth," they have self-explanatory titles. Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx team up for "The Soloist." The film, inspired by a true story, features Foxx as a homeless man with an incredible gift of music, and Downey as the struggling writer who discovers him. This pairing of great actors should make for a very inspirational film, if it avoids patronizing the audience with schmaltzy Word(s) THE PRIDE Image courtesy ofDisney moments. If director Joe Wright emphasized drama and conflict over cheesy bits, "The Soloist" will be a great teaijerker. I do not have the same hope for the other twofilmsin wide release this week. First, Channing Tatum stars in a movie called "Fighting." As one might expect in afilmcalled "Fighting," the movie is about Tatumfightingseveral people. The title "Fighting," redly puts me off this flick. If the creative minds behind this film cannot come up with a better name for a film aboutfighting,I do not expect a decent plot or character development. If one wants a good movie aboutfighting,check out some clas- sic Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan films, because they have good stories, and both men are actual fighters. I also do not have hope for "Obsessed." The story is simple. A husband and wife have a perfect life and then another woman comes in a throws everything out of control. The conflict is the wife versus the new secretary. I will not be seeing "Obsessed" any time soon. It stars Beyonce Knowles, who is a name more than an actress, the story looksflat,and the market campaign make this film look like soft core pornography. "Obsessed" is an amalgamation of other, better, domestic conflict films. Y ou p edal a b ike; b rake p edal on a c ar; p eddle is t o s ell y our w ares as a s alesman.

Youths were recognized for their volunteer and leadership efforts to make North County a better place. The President's Youth Service Awards were created by the White House Office of National Service and the Corporation of National and Community Service. Because of CSUSM's commitment to community service, the University was authorized to assist in identifying those young people whose volunteer efforts are a model for all. Each year CSUSM honors young people, ages 5-22, with the President's Awards or the National Award to recognize meaningful service to the community. The awards, presented by Provost Richard Millman, were in four age categories: 5-8 years, 9-13 years, 14-17 years, and 1822 years. The awards were designed to recognize voluntary, non-paid, community service and to recognize hands-on service. Criteria used—exemplary achievement, ongoing involvement, community need, and building a service ethic. The National Awards honor students who demonstrate meaningful community service accomplished at a level slightly less exacting than the President's Award. Recipients receive a sculpted pin which carries the Great Seal of the United States along with a handsomely designed certificate that is signed by President Clinton. ^n^^SSMU Interest V t p i t o Poster P Staff Writer f l f i W g f, ; Friday, April 22,1994 M $ CSUSM will draw international acaof : A4pies~ offers summer wbric-: a n i i i i a t : - o nN r 4h-Sjpani$h for Y&un^ Readers in j November.

Fourth graders take first step to college CSUSM will hold its first "I'm Going to College" day on April 29. 160 Fourth graders from Palomar Elementary School will get a sample of what college life is like on the CSUSM campus. By simulating the first day at the university, the program seeks to increase the number of low-income and minority students going to college. Studies show a need to begin preparing and encouraging students at an early age, particularly students whose parents never attended college.

However, you may not be aware of the major funding problems for Student Health Services within the CSU system that have occurred in the past few years. There have been drastic reductions in funding and a few of the larger health services were very close to having to cease operations. The Student Health Advisory Board has asked that I write an article to discuss the history of the funding problems and how other campuses have moved to alleviate the problem. The vast majority of campuses have instituted a mandatory Health Services Fee. This fee should not be confused with the $3 Health FacilitiesFeealreadyinplace. The Health Facilities Fee does not contribute to ongoing operations of the Student Health Service. This f ee is controlled by the Chancellor's Office can only be used for building or renovation of CSU Health Services. Actually, 17 of the 20 campuses have a mandatory Health Fee ranging from $20 to $59 per semester in 1993/94. This fee accounts for 40% to 100% of the funding for Student Health Services throughout the system. This mandatory fee allows for at least basic services to be continued at all the campuses and at some it allows for augmented or special services to be performed at no additional charge. Itisalsoofinteresttonotethat throughout the country, Health Services Fees are at a much higher level. A recent survey revealed an average fee of $84 per semester. Here at CSUSM we have been fortunate that even in the face of decreasing budget throughout the system, the University has continued to grow. The planners also were able to anticipate a need for Student Health Services and provided funding for space, equipment, and the initial staff to provide services. The result is, I believe, a very nice facility appropriately equipped and providing high quality primary care and preventive health services. Likewise, we continue to provide and develop campus-wide health education including a Peer Health Education program. At this time, the funding projection for CSUSM Student Health Services for 1994/ 95 will be at the same level as 1993/94. In order to provide the same level of service as well as to continue expanding services, a mandatory Student Health Fee is necessary. The Student Health Advisory Board has endorsed the concept of this fee, Theywantthe general student population to be informed. An open forum on this matter will be held on Tuesday, May 3rd from 3 PM to 4:30 PM in ACD305. Student Health Services has received consistent praise for its programs and services by students. Student Health Services exists to provide high quality primary care and preventive services and encourages high level student involvement in those services. We encourage you to become familiar with Student Health Services and utilize the services you are funding. If you have questions address them to the Student Health Advisory Board or myself, Joel Grinolds, MD, by calling 752-4915.

For f urther i nformation, contact Claire Most people d on't realize how lucky we are to live in the age where counting fat grams corresponds with the explosion of fatfree products available today. Back in my mother's day being on a diet consisted of boring and bland foods such as melba toast, cottage cheese, and celery-YUCK! I am a connoisseur of fat-free foods that tantalize the taste buds. I am forever searching for a new exciting product that I can promote to my friends. Of all the products I have tried, certain ones stand out above the rest and I would like to pass this information on to you. Here is a little backround . . . A person's diet should consist of about 20-30 grams of fat per day and not any more. The logic behind watching fat grams is that gram for gram, fat has more calories than protein or carbohydrates. A gram of fat is 9 calories while a gram of carbohydrates is just 4 calories. This definitely makes a difference when you add up the calories. The bottom line is to consume the equivalent or less than the calories expended. Since carbohydrates are lower in calories, they help to keep caloric count down. The body stores carbohydrates in the muscles for up to 36 hours so they don't have to be utilized immediately. Finally, another fact in favor of carbohydrates is that it takes 32 steps for the body to turn carbohydrates into fat whereas fat is only three small steps to the thighs. One word of caution when you begin the journey into fat-free heaven—watch out for consuming too many empty calories. Some foods are low in fat and high in nutrients whereas other foods are low in fat and void of nutrients. These empty-calorie foods make great alternatives for high-fat snacks and desserts but should not be a part of a daily diet. So here it goes...My favorite yogurt is made by Yoplait Light. It is only 90 calories a serving and is so creamy that you feel guilty. Some of the betterflavorsare tropical banana and apricot mango. Yoplait also makes a crunch light which has fun toppings like granola. As far as snacks go, if you haven't tried Louis' baked tortilla or potato chips you will be in for a nice surprise. They come in many flavors like ranch or barbecue. Be careful because you can't stop at just one. Pretzels have always been low or fat free and Harry's sourdough are spectacular! Often oil-free salad dressings don't do much to liven up lettuce, but I found two that do. Bernstein's makes a line of 98 percent fat free salad dressings that are packed with pizazz. Try the Parmesan Ranch. S&W Vintage Light blush wine vinaigrette is light and tangy and tastes homemade. For the sweet tooth in all of us, Antenna's Double Fat Free Fudge Brownies are soooo delicious! These would cure any chocolate craving. Snack Well's lowfat cookie assortments are also good. My favorite are the new double fudge. Don't forget to try Nabisco's fat free Fig Newton that also comes in fruit flavors such as cranberry. It was difficult limiting some of my favorite fat-free products but it is a start. I hope the items mentioned pave the path to healthier eating. Afinalword of caution—always look at the fat and calorie count in regards to serving size. Often times, manufacturers like to suggest false claims. The USDA is working on new regulations for labeling so that the serving size and claims will be realistic and resemble the truth.

Ivalee Clark Director Support Services To promote the awareness of the recycling program, the Solid Waste Reduction Planning Committee, together with Mashburn Waste and Recycling Services, sponsored a "Dumpster Dive," more formally known as a waste characterization, on March 10. Even though CSUSM has an aggressive recycling program in place, the "dive" was held to see how CSUSM's model university recycling program is working and to possibly identify additional items which can be diverted from going to the landfill. Approximately 50 participants gathered for pizza and cokes prior to sorting through the trash. The group was divided into teams of three.. two sorted and one wrote down items being found in the trash. Containers for recovered recyclables were available along with trash cans to categorize the actual waste products. When the sorting was completed, the categorized materials were weighed. Here is what we found: RECYCLABLE MATERIAL LBS.

That is why most men dread it —George Bernard Shaw Cliche in the Classroom Thomas Lee Huntington Staff Writer The Vista Unified School District has garnered nationwide publicity, first for requiring a discussion of creationism in science classrooms that teach evolution, and now for supporting the controversial Sex Respect curriculum. Sex Respect is a program where students in health classes are taught the Value of abstinence and the dangers of premarital sex. Slogans such as "Do the right thing, wait for thering,""Pet your dog, not your date," and "Control your urging, be a virgin" are the educational cornerstones of the Sex Respect policy. Condoms or other forms of birth control are downplayed as dangerous and not worth discussing. Deidre Holliday, theringleaderof the group of three conservative Christians (including Gregy Tyndall and Joyce Lee) that makes up the majority of the board, has been viciously attacked in the local press and a recall effort is underway to remove all three from the board in a November vote. The Vista Teachers Union, though reticent to jump into the fray, recently voted overwhelmingly to support the recall. Signatures are being collected, and it should soon be clear whether or not the issue will go before a public vote. What in the world has happened to the sleepy, retirement community of Vista? Long renowned for a fine public school system that consistently produced high AP pass and college acceptance rates, the Vista Unified School District has suddenly become a nationwide symbol of religious political activism that blurs the separation between church and state. A recall effort will be costly andrisky,but it is undeniably necessary to preserve not only the national reputation of the Vista School District but also the future of Vista's children. Holliday was elected in 1990 in what many have characterized as a "stealth" campaign that focused on area churches and religious gatherings and eschewed traditional candidate forums. At the time of her election, I was a Vista High senior and Editor of the school paper and had the opportunity Letters to the Editor Conroy's Comments on Illegals Refreshing Dear Editor: Thanksforrunning the letter from Assemblyman Mickey Conroy about his bill to prevent illegal aliens from enrolling in state universities and colleges. This was a refreshing change in news coming from CSUSM recently. The problem of illegal aliens is severe. Some facts: • According to a recent report by SDSU professors for State Seantor Bill Craven, illegals cost county taxpayers a net of $244 million yearly for courts, schools, welfare and other benefits. Craven is to be commended for issuing this report. • Illegals are the fastest growing segment of state and federal prisoners. • It costs state taxpayers over $600 million to educate illegals each year; Mountain Empire schools were recently found by the state auditor to have fraudulently enrolled hundreds of Mexican nationals. • Illegals yearly receive over $800million in fraudulent medical payments, according to a report from the County MediCal Fraud task force; yet Americans are turned away. Our nation must defend its borders, it it is to remain a sovereign nation. Ralph W. Ballmer, MSEE San Jose State Univ. Questions Witnesses to "Conduct" Dear Editor: In regards to your article, "Conduct Unbecoming a Faculty Member... or anyone to interview Holliday. Though little was known of her at the time, there were intense murmuring about her Christian leanings. I found her to be extremely polite and thoughtful, answering questions with articulate, intelligent responses. She insisted that she wanted only to leave sex education up to individual families, and to confine schools to teaching educational basics. She did nothing to hide her Christian faith. I had the impression that Mrs. Holliday was not a religious radical but a passionate, moderate citizen. I was wrong. The actions of the school board in the past 4 years indicate beyond a shadow of a doubt that beneath that gentle facade lurks an unavowed enemy of public education with no respect for cultural diversity, the scientific community, the professional judgment of hard-working teachers, or the Constitution. Contrary to Holliday's stated aim of leaving moral education up to individual families, the board has engaged in exactly the kind of cultural arrogance and narrowminded hypocrisy that it should be the aim of any decent liberal education to abolish. The logic behind the Sex Respect policy is even more dangerous. At a time when teen pregnancy and the fatal threat of AIDS make irresponsible attitudes towards sexual activity potentially deadly, it is preposterous to cloak a discussion about teenage sexuality in this kind of simpleminded, cliched moralism. Students need straight answers and clearheaded advice, not preaching and condescension. Abstinence should certainly be presented as the only sure way to avoid AIDS or pregnancy, but it is morally repugnant to avoid a detailed discussion of methods of birth control at a time when the propert use of a condom could very easily mean the difference between life and death. This is not to say that Holliday and her hit squad are not well-intentioned. But the Vista School Board has unfortunately chosen the tools of exclusion, religious bigotry and fear. The citizens of Vista should spare no time nor expense at putting an immediate stop to this illegal, immoral and unethical political escapade. Nothing less than the future of our children depends upon it. else," I question how many people were witness to this occurrence. I also wonder whose decision it was to print Dr. Seleski's name, and was there any effort contacting Dr. Seleski before publication to confirm the story? Though I do not condone rude behavior on the part of faculty, staff and students, I question the adversarial tone of the article. For example, "Seleski said she knew why it (Lexis/Nexis) was down, but continued to complain." This statement is vague and lends no information to the article other than to slander Dr. Seleski. If I, a casual reader, can pick out the bias in this article, what would the average San Marcos citizen think of this university. I hope you take this into consideration when you publish other critical articles about faculty, staff and students. Gwenn Young lecture. Another time, in a different class, a student basically told the teacher to get on with the lecture. Firstly, these comments are not only uncalled for, but reflect badly on the student body. A student who has yet to achieve a bachelor's degree has a lot of nerve commenting on the performance of a person who has obtained Ph.D. caliber. Secondly, these comments create an embarrassing atmosphere in class. These teachers have to "suck it up" in the interest of professionalism, but it obviously hurts their feelings. Not only that, but the more considerate students feel the need to apologize for the rude behavior of these people. We hope hope this letter will make students think twice about their behavior in class and give professors the respect they warrant.

CSUSM will host its second annual Multicultural Student Leadership Conference, "Leadership: Making It Happen," on Saturday, April 30, on the CSUSM campus, 8:30 AM to 3 PM. j "If we are to have the type of leadership which we need for the 21 st century, we must begin preparing those leaders today," notes Dr. Richard Millman, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at CSUSM. "It is for that reason we continue to sponsor a conference which promotes student excellence through developing leadership skills." Minority students have nearly closed the gap with their white counterparts in earning high school diplomas. However, college graduation rates have remained inordinately low for students of color, according to the American Council on Education's status report on minorities in higher education. The conference will bring together ISOstudent leaders fromNorth County's ^ under-represented groups to participate in a series ofmotivational and developmental workshops. The conference is designed to develop and enhance their leadership skills and to expose the students to minority leaders from the community. Maria Velasquez, KFMB (Channel 8) TV personality, will be this year's keynote speaker, The Multicultural Student Leadership Conference workshops will be presented by community leaders from various professions addressing such topics as "What Makes aLeader, How do Leaders Communicate, What Are the Responsibilities of Leadership, and Your Dream is Possible." Workshop presenters will inelude: Minerva Gonzalez, Director of Financial Aid, Palomar College; and Terry Johnson, Deputy Mayor, City of Oceanside. The conference is free and open to all under-represented high school students.

Set in the plains and cities of Argentina, La Perla is a tale of memory and yearning that unfolds with seductive energy. At the center of La Perla is a search for family, a search for history, and a search for love: searches that reveal not only truths of the heart but also truths about the land that is Argentina. La Perla was inspired by the actor's return to his homeland after a 20-year absence. Ravetto's return to Argentina began as a quest to learn more about an aunt that he never knew; but while there, he encountered both the truths of love and the loss that continue to haunt his own family and the pain of memory and silence that continues to haunt the politics of contemporary Argentina. From these experiences, Ravetto and co-author Cheyney Ryan, fashioned a complex and enigmatic tale that speaks to the experience of us all. La Perla will be performed on Friday, April 22 at 7 PM in ACD 102. Tickets are $3 for CSUSM students and $5 for general admission. Tickets may be purchased at the University Store, by phone (752-4730), or at the door one-half hour before the performance (unless it is sold out).

The photographs of local and visiting jazz musicians were taken during performances in San Diego. Mr. Rudee, who served on the San Diego Jazz Festival's board of directors, took some of the photos in night clubs, but most were taken at performances of either the SD Jazz Festival or the Jazz Society of Lower California. Rudee stated that, "Photography and jazz have artistic elements in common. Of all musical forms, jazz places the highest emphasis on instantaneous, intuitive improvisation. The term 'instrument of intuition', which has been used to describe the camera could just as well apply to the jazz soloist. The exhibit is located in the university library, on the third floor of Craven Hall. Please join the Library Arts Committee at a reception for the opening of Rudee's show . Jazz musicians Gunnar Biggs, John Harris and Bob Boss will play jazz in the library's courtyard on Friday, April 22 from 3:15 to 3:45 PM. The reception is from 3-4:30. The 25-photo exhibit celebrates local and visiting jazz musicians. The exhibit is free and open to the public during regular library hours: Mon.-Thur. 8 AM to 9 PM, Fri. 8AM to 4 PM, and Sat. 10AM to 4PM. For more information, call Marge Hohenberger 752-4350.

Youth, innocence, hope, and the American Dream. t Emerald City. In a recent L.A. Times Book Review, a friend of the late, great, gutter poet, Charles Bukowski, recalled the moment he heard of the writer's death. He was riding in his car when a Bukowski poem came on the radio. At first, he was pleasantly surprised to hear his friend's work, but then he realized that he was listening to an AM station. Any time such subversive work invaded AM airwaves, he thought, it couldn't be a good sign. Bukowski, of course, was the prototypical literary renegade, far too obscene and daring for mainstream culture— until his death, that is. I had a simitar experience at 12:30 on a sunny California Friday afternoon. I unexpectedly received the day off from work and was leisurely driving by the beach with a friend when I heard the opening chords of Nirvana's "Rape Me" blaringfroman otherwise tame AM news station. The "godfather of grunge," as the Barbie doll newswoman characterized Kurt Cobain, had been found dead that morning from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at his Seattle home. The "Generation X spokesman," Barbie reported, had struggled with heroin addiction and severe depression. His cryptic suicide note, publicly read a few days later by Cobain's wife and fellow musician, Courtney Love, spoke of losing excitement for life, of feeling guilty for "faking it." Quoting Neil Young, Cobain wrote, "It's better to burn out than to fade away." Kurt Cobain was not a spokesman for my generation, and the media's unrelenting need to characterize him as such was intellectually lazy and artistically unfair. He was a confused, depressed, probably mentally ill, but enormously talented sognwriter who felt immense uneasiness and frustration about the fame unleashed upon his Seattle garage band after "Smells Like Teen Spirit" suddenly became some kind of generational anthem. It was always obvious that music served as an intense and genuine form of aesthetic therapy for the "troubled" poet. Nirvana's themes were alienation, self-loathing, and displacement— the thematic territory of every angry punk band OuAurt StudentS fromthe Sex Pistols to Pearl Jam, But what set Nirvana apart from the beginning was Cobain's haunting, personal songwriting and the gentle, fragile melodies that inevitably descended into a haze of feedback and sonic confusion. And it was that quality, an artistic marriage of longing and angry resentment, innocence and powerlessness, personal guilt and social frustration, that gave songs like "All Apologies," "Lithium," "Polly," "Rape Me," and "Heart Shaped Box" their direct, intense power. In that sense, Cobain did speak to lonely, confused depressives like Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Neil Young and Lou Reed did before him. But it is the American public's incessant need to valorize these artists, to turn them into heroes and godfathers of movements that destroys their musical identity. Musicians are not leaders, not politicians or activists; especially someone as uncomfortable with adulation as Cobain. Nirvana had no answers to our generational dilemma nor professed prescriptions for m an's existential plight. Cobain's suicide is proof of that. Just because a song can provide a few minutes of solace, just because artcan be made vital and immediate, doe not make an artist a hero. Hero worship is dangerous, not least of all, for the hero. Bob Dylan wrote "It Ain'tMe Babe,"abitter, biting renunciation of generational leadership, at the height of his career. John Lennon eschewed God and all other forms of idolatry ("I just believe in me") at a time when the Beatles had nearly surpassed Jesus Christ in popularity. Cobain made Nirvana9s second major label album, In Utero, far less accessible and radiofriendly than itsfirst("Teenage angst has served me well/Now I'm bored and old"), but it sold millions of copies anyway. Cobain lost to milions of flannel-clad followers what was perhaps his last refuge against emotional abyss—his music. He was no hero. He was a poet, and that is the fact that will remain long after the feeding frenzy of cheap speculation about the details of his personal life is over. I, for one, will continue to celebrate that fact. mAke 6uaLity LeAderS. .. VOTE - MICHELLE S ADOVA FOR PRESIDENT This active A.S. Council Member is t he m ost qualified choice f or A.S. President.

Yvonne Gillis Contributing Writer Most of us are familiar with Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution. Probably fewer of us are aware of the fact that he discovered over 200 new species in one month on his trip to the Galapagos Islands. And even fewer of us are aware that today, less than 150 years later, biologists estimate that during 1993 at least 4,000 and as many as 36,000 species became extinct. While Darwin found himself extremely excited over discovering species and documenting their descriptions and habitats, scientists today do not find equal joy in documenting the rapid eradication of many of the world's plants and organisms necessary for us to sustain life. Necessary to sustain life? Yes! Seventy percent of the 3,000 plants identified by the National Cancer Institute as sources of cancer-fighting chemicals come from tropical forests. Recently, the Institute found that the extract from a vine located in the rain forests in Cameroon inhibits the replication of the AIDS virus. While you read this article, another type of plant species that could cure a AfiWRTISIlSte type of cancer or AIDS may be wiped out forever. Environmentalists consider the loss of tropical rain forests to be the world's most serious problem. These forests are homes to at least 50 percent of the earth's total species. Take for example the rosy Periwinkle. This flowering plant of the threatened tropical forests of Madagascar has two extracts used successfully to treat victims of lymphocytic leukemia and Hodgkin's disease. The active ingredients for 25 percent of our medicinal drugs are extracted from ants, most of which grow in the rain forests. Once the active compound is identified and isolated, it can be synthesized by chemists for our use. But the plant has to still be with us to identify the active ingredient. From the bark of the Yew tree, a rare Pacific tree, chemists extract the all-important substance called taxol which is used in ovarian and breast cancer treatment. Some environmental groups worried that logging and illegal bark stripping were threatening the Yew supply and hurting the legitimate harvesting of bark for taxol. Luckily though, by studying the taxol components, chemists have recently been able to produce a synthetic compound for commercial use. Darwin's Origins of Species (1959) advanced the case for evolution. Living creatures had evolved over millennia according to a principle described by one of his supporters as "the survival of the fittest." Darwin explained how non-random processes put the forces of the environment upon species to create natural selection. For example, if white rabbits and brown rabbits were living in snow country, the white rabbits, because of their ability to blend into the environment, will tend to escape their predators more readily than the brown rabbits. Conversely, brown rabbits blend into the desert setting easier than white rabbit. As a consequence, white rabbits thrive in snow country while the brown ones proliferate in the desert. So who looms to be the biggest predator of all? The present crisis of the rapid extinction of numerous plants and organisms is the first to be caused by a single species—our own. What would Darwin have though of this new development in the evolution of the species?

If current issues cannot be resolved, this could be one of the last editions of The Pride to be published. The decision about the student affairs budget for academic year 20032004 was communicated recently to The Pride staff, a fter the submission of the Instructionally Related Activities (IRA) funding packet, which was turned in on March 10. The Pride's graduate student intern makes $3,500 per semester, which has historically been paid for by the office of student affairs, led by Francine Martinez. The Pride is currently operating as a class known as LTWR/COMM 316, and is staffed by students enrolled in the class, three paid student editors, and one paid graduate student intern. The graduate student intern position has been terminated, as the help supervise the larger student affairs budget can numbers of writers.. .bolster an editorial staff that often no longer support it. lacks experience with AP or journalist protocol, etc." Without the graduate intern position, The Pride Desmond Barca, design will not be able to operate in and photo editor for The the fall o f2003 at its current level, and the future for The Pride, also responded, Pride beyond that time "One of two things would is in question.

Either Madeleine Marshall, "The the quality of journalistic would be 20 hours the intern puts writing diminished, or the already in support the production, limited coverage would be _4 •• . further reduced to a pitiful level. The intern role is crucial to managing a large group of writers, most of whom have no previous experience with producing tins specialized form of language. Additionally, without the graduate student intern position, the newspaper will have to operate without regular office hours. This would not only be detrimental to our ability to serve the campus community, but would also be financially crippling to The Pride's ability to raise revenue through taking advertisements, putting The Pride ever further from its goal of becoming independent from the university and some day serving the greater San Marcos community."

For those who ask about the location of this place this is on the fourth floor of Craven Hall. It is the Career Assessment Center - a place that students may do well to know more about. The sign next to the door explicates that employment can be found within the walls of the Craven 4201 office. That is just the beginning. There are resources to the Career Assessment Center (CAC) that apply to every student, from freshman to senior. One helpful trait for students is that there is no charge for services. If employment is desired, students may check out the binders labeled OnCampus, Off-Campus, Non-Degree and Internships for several job opportunities. If contemplating graduate school, there is a library of information to read through. Some of the services the CAC offers are mock interviewing to prepare students for the real interview experience. Also in the center are handouts that deal with preparing cover letters, thank you letters, questions that can be asked during the interview, how to dress for a job interview, what to do if the interview goes well, and how to write an acceptance letter. Using the center's website at www.csusm.edu/ cac, students may select the Salary Survey link that shows how much of an income will be necessary in order to sustain a living in any state of the U.S. There is even information on how to handle the more difficult side of employment, that of being laid off or downsized. Seniors planning on moving to another state after graduation may utilize what is called "Relocation Resources" where a relocating graduate student can find "east coast jobs" or "southern jobs" depending on their destination. There is even an apartment rental relocation guide in order to three to four more critiques help find a place to live. on the resume if needed. For the perfect resume, it One of the most popular is likely to take many sesprograms the CAC pro- sions.

If paying a outside mined. professional for the same Since there is a deadline to having the resume ready for distribution, it is highly recommended and cannot be stressed enough that ample time is given to do resume critiquing services, the costs run anywhere from $50 to $85 an hour. If students did not use the center's service of distributing the resumes to some 50 companies that have signed up to be a part of the program and instead chose to use an agency, they would have the possibility of getting a lower income. Their future employer may pay off the agency out of their salary. For companies to be a part of the distribution, they have to sign up with the center. The CAC also offers a variety of workshops, such as "Get Registered and Get a Job," which teaches how to become a member to the Cougar Trak and gain access to online job listings, local and nationwide. There are also links such as Effective Interviewing, Resume Writing, How to Network, and Hot Tips for Job Fair Success to help students find employment. these types of interviews. There are also self-help computerized tests to show what type of personality a student has, which could help them figure out what type of work they would most enjoy. There is also literature on what type of job a student could get according to their major, so students interested in finding more about their majors or interested field can visit the center to obtain more information. The vast resources the Career Assessment Center holds are at the fingertips of all Cal State San Marcos students. They are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunities. For those students interested in the CAC, the website address If a student wants to is www.csusm.edu/CAC or know what it is like to work they can stop by room 4201 in a certain position, they in Craven Hall. can do an informational interview with someone The CAC is also having a who holds that job title.

Before The Pride, there was The Pioneer. As with many things in life, Cal State San Marcos's student newspaper had a predecessor. Now, after 10 years of The Pride's establishment, it's time to take a look back and see how all of this started. During the second year of CSUSM in 1990, the students got together to create their own student newspaper. The Pioneer was published for the first time in Sept. 4,1990. The first editor-in-chief was Larry Boisjolie. Boisjoilie together with Jonathan Young, assistant editor, were in charge of the paper until fall of 1992 and for the first time ever on May 14, 1991, the student's voice was published in color. The 11x13inch paper was published every two weeks on Tuesdays with an average of 16 pages. In the spring of 1993, Roman S. Koenig became the editor. Then during the next fall, Mary Zyterpakiewicz became the new editor in chief. The newspaper continued to be published every two weeks and had an average of 16 pages, but was published on Fridays. It was during that time that The Pioneer looked for a new name, in the You Name It issue, and a call was made to all the students to submit their suggestions. On the November 5 edition in 1993, The Pioneer became The Pride. The Pride was the winning name submitted by Koenig. According to the editorial published in that same edition, this name was chosen because it conveyed the pride in oneself, one's school, and one's community, as well as meaning a group of lions, which was appropriate because the campus location was the former home of the mountain lion. At the same time the new name was adopted, The Pride obtained an office in ACD 208 and their first phone number, which is the same of one of the two current offices, extension 4998. After that, Koenig shared the editorship with Zyterpakiewicz in the spring and fall of 1994. During this period, the paper was published every other Wednesday, and ranged from 8-12 pages. In the spring of 1995, Derek O. Smith became the editor-inchief. The paper was then published every Monday. However, in the fall of the same year, Koenig became once again the lead editor and the paper went back to being published every Wednesday. Nevertheless, some new things happened. The offices were moved to Academic Hall, room 14-324, the first fax number was given, an online-version of the paper was created, and there was an advisory panel of faculty and a staff of 6 people. Tony Barton, the editorin-chief during the following spring semester in 1996, had an advisory panel of 8 members. However, from the fall of 1996 until the spring of 1997, The Pride became an 11x17 inch tabloid size with 8 pages, and Tom Nolan, a professional journalist, became The Pride's only advisor. Then, in the spring of 1997 and the fall of 1998, the paper went back to its old 10xl2-inch size. David Johnson became the editor-in-chief and Nolan continued as the advisor. However, The Pride website went dormant. In the spring of 1999, The Pride essentially died, because no newspaper course was offered and therefore no support was given for the production of the paper that semester. However, because of the dedication and commitment of a few individuals, The Pride was reborn in the fall of 1999. The lead editors, Leiana Naholowaa and Samantha Cahill, together with literature and writing studies (LTWR) and women's studies professor Madeleine Marshall, who became the second advisor, reorganized the newspaper. The newspaper went back to its llxl7-inch size paper, and was published on Mondays. It was also basically put together in the Commons 201 office, which still is The Pride office today. A class listed as both LTWR 316 and communication (COMM) 316 was also created for writers who would help out with the production of the paper. This is how The Pride still works today. Also, the position of graduate intern was established, which allowed the requirement of the professor's signature to be became the advisor, she describes that, "In consultaeliminated. ; tion with each year's editors, Marshall mentioned the I select the editors for the reasons why she decided to following year - and bear get involved with the news- the responsibility for these paper.

She also added that Johnson and Nolan "made For the fall of 2002, Clauefforts with the administration, dia Ignacio and James Newell but they eventually moved on became the lead editors for just to other things because there one semester. was no class of students to write articles." Since May of last year, Naholowaa and Cahill also started The PLS (The Pride Literary Supplement) as a way to give the students an opportunity to publish their academic writing for the entire student community. The Pride has been under the leadership of Alyssa Finkelstein and Martha Sarabia. The paper has at times increased to 16 pages, and some editions have been in color. A Spanish section has been added, which spurred some controversy at the beginning, but nevertheless it is still part of the paper.

On the surface, the excuse that the school needs to save money appears specious. It doesn't cost that much to publish a school newspaper, and the administration - if it is committed to the First Amendment - should support the paper every step of the way. I understand some administrators have been upset about the content of The Pride, and have tried to restrict what can and cannot be printed. They should read the law - the students make those decisions.

The actions of the student affairs office, led by Vice President Francine Martinez and Dean of Students Jonathan Poullard, have raised this fundamental question. Their answer should be troubling to everyone who values the free and open exchange of information, for the simple fact that a press is not free if it is expected to follow the agenda of those who hold its purse strings. Because of their decisions, the current state of The Pride is in serious question. Firstly, the higher ups have prohibited The Pride from selling ads to businesses that want to advertise any kind of alcoholic drink specials. Poullard stated that the words "happy" and "hour" should not be seen next to each other in any ad sold. Then Martinez said that using the phrase "happy hour" was acceptable as long as drinks weren't specifically mentioned, and that we are free to sell ads to companies that are in the business of exploitation i.e. strip clubs. work against promotion of alcoholism and under age drinking. This attitude is a farce. If the administration cares so much about protecting students from ourselves, why do they have an assortment of shot glasses for sale right on campus in our own bookstore? Cal State San Marcos is not a dry campus. Even the incoming dorm students will be permitted to drink in their homes, if of age. Explain the logic behind this policy. Regardless of the merits of attempting to limit underage drinking, it is not the administration's job to censor the primary student publication. If they want to launch an anti-drinking campaign, they should do like everyone else and purchase ad space. This action seriously cripples our abilities as a newspaper to grow and determine our own content. It is because of The Pride's reliance on the CSU system for financial funding that the administration thinks it can dictate what is printed on these pages. However, legally they cannot punish The Pride when the content does not meet their approval - this includes ALL Like most student newspapers, The CONTENT. Their policy of restricting a Pride was founded with the desire to bring significant portion of the papers revenue stream will retard its growth -perhaps this the campus population a publication by the students, for the students, and free is their goal. from the heavy-handed or self-serving pressures often exerted by administrators. We are in an institute of higher learning, not a daycare center! They claim to have a In the early days, admission to the class moral responsibility to the student body to required instructor permission, which aga It s resulted in having a small class size, which in turn suppressed productivity. There was little structure to the publication, sometimes going two to three weeks before turning out a new issue. Problems with generating ad revenue made reliance on the administration for financial assistance all the more crucial. We have come a long way since then. The Pride is now open to anybody who wants to take the course (communication 316 or literature and writing 316). We are a regular paper that turns out 2,500 copies per week and continues to increase our readership. The ability to generate and maintain enough ad revenue to move off campus and work independently of the CSU system would be the ideal way to ensure journalistic freedom. Though The Pride is not entirely self-sufficient, it is and has been the common goal to become so. Following the disagreement concerning The Pride's alcohol policy, the administrators decided to cut the graduate intern position. Though the events may be unrelated, this may prove to be the most devastating blow to The Pride yet. Leiana Naholowaa, the current graduate intern makes $3,500 per semester, which is paid for out of the office of Student Affairs. What makes the matter worse is that administrators have cut the position 'after the advisor for The Pride applied for the Instructionally Related Activities (IRA) funding, which might have been able to compensate for the loss. This means that there is no way to subsidize lost funds. Administrators made this decision after the budget for next year was set in stone. This means that there is no way to subsidize the graduate intern position. The graduate intern offers support in the actual production of the paper, provides an office presence for interested members of the community and as a backup for possible advertisers, and offers assistance to an inexperienced group of journalists and editorial team. This "by the students, for the students" dynamic is crucial for this publication to work, and for this publication to work the presence of non-faculty veteran leadership is essential. Putting aside the ideological implications of losing the graduate intern, the simple fact that this would require the advisor to work the extra 20 hours per with no increase in pay. This is both unreasonable and unacceptable. a t r e m e n d o u s l y f i n n y look at t h e a b s u r d i t i e s and contradictions of g r o w i n g u p m a l e i n A m e r i c a a s o l o p e r f o r m a n c e p i e c e w r i t t e n by Kilmartin an d f e a t u r i n g Chris Gregg Stull direetel by FREE performance on Tuesday.

Administrators say the position must go because of state-wide budget cuts, but it seems peculiar that the university would cut such an important position days after Martinez and Poullard disputed The Pride's advertising decisions. The school is not going to save very much money on the graduate intern. It seems possible that the real reason is that Martinez and Poullard are not committed to a free press, and this may be a haunting specter of things to come. These decisions made by the administration seriously undercut our ability to function properly and have forced our hand. We have chosen to respond in the only way we know how — by reporting it. Throughout his term, President Gonzalez knew the importance of having a campus paper and was one of our biggest supporters, but in this time of uncertainty, no one seems to want to even hear the case presented. An institution without a newspaper that strives to get bigger and better cannot be considered a top quality university. Times are tough, especially in regards to the California budget, but do we risk taking a giant step backward as a college press for such a meager monetary amount? We have to ask ourselves, what is the future of the First Amendment on this campus? �The Rride the paper has gone a long way since it was started, it has room for more improvements. For Naholowaa, who is now The Pride graduate intern, this can be done in all aspects such as "production, online collaboration, and working with other departments on campus besides LTWR and COMM, which include the College of Business and the world languages department." Segall would like to see the paper be more than once a week, have more pages, have more writers, tackle more issues and have more investigative articles. P RO-WAR RHETORIC Response to Brian Dobbins Mr. Brian Dobbins, the poster-boy for the "praise America first" club, fails to understand my contention that the U.S. supports terrorism in the name of democracy. America facilitated the Iraqi acquisition of chemical and biological weapons; A very unique aspect for The Pride is that since its conception, the editors have exercised full freedom on the things they choose to print. "I believe so strongly in a free student press that I never interfere with the voice of the paper," said Marshall. Since the first editions of the CSUSM student newspaper, there has been a disclaimer saying that the freedom of expression is exercised during the paper's production. History from page 2 supported by the administration at a level in terms of operations, but I have never felt their support, nor their interest, in terms of growth for the newspaper and class," said Naholowaa, "The administration, including the LTWR and COMM departments, which The Pride class is listed under, [have] never shown a great interest in helping us grow in substantial ways and nor have they made any concrete plans for its future." The relationship between administrators and The For the future, present Pride editorial staff has and past editorial staff have not changed much from the many predictions. "The beginning. "Today, we are Pride has a very bright America encouraged Saddam's use of these weapons against the Iranians and Kurds. Regardless of what side these groups were fighting for, the use of chemical weapons is terrorism, plain and simple. The example of the Iraqi schoolhouse bombing was on Saul Landau's documentary entitled "Iraq: Voices from future of being noi just THE campus paper, tjut the most prominent newspaper in the San Marcos community," said Naholowaa. Marshall also has repeatedly said that she envisions seeing The Pride as the San Marcos city paper. Segall expressed, "Now that The Pride has come so far, I couldn't imagine the university without a student newspaper. If we lost the student newspaper, it would be like th$ university taking a step back, rather than a step forward towards enhancing student l ife" Segall also took the opportunity to remind LETTERS the Street" which was part of his anti-war seminar here on campus. U.S. support of tyrannical despots, repressive regimes, and terrorism did not stop with Saddam. We have actively engaged in dealings with the likes of Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Indonesia, Israel, and Columbia and Chile when the ruthless Augusto Pinochet was in power. The C olumbian-paramilitary forces receive U.S. aid in the form of ¿¿arms; commit atrocities upon all dissidents, most of whom actually have nothing to do with drug cartels, as you claim. The U.S. supplies weapons and aid to these countries yet turns a blind-eye to human rights violations committed with these very same weapons.

It is indisputable that The Pride has covered many issues at CSUSM. It covered racism issues during the early years of the university being founded, involving state Senator William Craven, the beginning of the parking problem, Alexander Gonzalez being named the president, the errors made by the construction company hired to increase the The Pride, with the help of The Pioneer, little by little has become CSUSM's public diary and sometimes the eyes that many school administrators wish were not present. However, there is nothing to be done; The Pride is and hopefully will continue to be the Cal State San Marcos student newspaper for many years to come. Furthermore, well over 30 times the U.S. has vetoed U.N. resolutions to stop the unlawful occupation of Palestinian territories by Israeli terrorists. Therefore, when the U.N. does try to enforce resolutions that run contrary to U.S. policy, the U.S. does not hesitate to use its veto power as a sitting member on the Security Council. Whether the attacks come from suicide bombers or through unlawful occupation through superior armament (U.S. subsidized), it is terrorism.

We know that promotion and availability are the major factors that influence a person's decision to drink, so why would The Pride suggest our school start down this path?

We hope the following responses shed some light on our continuing effort to serve your information needs. population we had in 1997/98, so we're long overdue for adequate space. With the current space and the existing size of our university community, it is not possible to have a quiet library. We try to reduce the noise in some spaces by designating quiet study zones. Those don't work well because noise-related events sometimes occur there, or because groups of people walk through them en route to other (noisier) locations. On the day we received your suggestion, we ordered padding for the metal strip and installed it as soon as it arrived. We are sorry you were hurt!

As Bush's answer to the dying economy, the IRS comes off as if they are handing out free money to more than 137 mil­lion Americans beginning May 2. The Economic Stimulus Pay­ments are the government's last hope of pushing the consum­ers to spend money. Anticipat­ing that taxpayers will spend the stimulus checks, it's pretty obvious that main goal of the payments is to help boost the economy. Divvied out in three differ­ent amounts, according to how a person files their return, you could get a check for the amount of$300,$600,or$1200. Checks are being released in waves of disbursements with the various disbursement periods depen­dent on the last two digits of your Social Security Number. Yet, as America finds herself in the wake of a recession, spend­ing that check should be the last thing you do. What should you do with the economic stimulus pay­ment? Save it. Invest it. Pay off tion debt college graduates face after commencement is $21,000 (according to The Project on Student Debt). Sure, you might not have any debt now, or maybe there's only $500 on your credit , card and you make regular pay­ments, but who knows what the next few years or even the rest of your college years will bring. Why waste perfectly good money now, when you could be using it as a safety blanket for the future by saving it or paying ­off already existing debt. The IRS is shelling out at the very least 41 billion dollars with these stimulus checks-that's if into the economy. And yes, the economy does need it; the value of the dollar is the lowest it has been in the past 80 years. But with that knowledge, and the deepening recession, doesn't it make more sense to hold onto the money for dear life? Save every penny you can. With the rising cost of educa­tion as the currently proposed budget cuts are planned to increase tuition by 10%, park­ing permits are scheduled to rise in cost, and gas isn't fore­cast to be cheap this summer either-who can afford not to save the money?

Even a bad movie In this world, can have a good trailer, there are two such as "Star Wars: Epi­types of trail­sode I-The Phantom ers, those that Menace." Though it is are good and got questionable if George viewers excited about a film, and those which decrease interest in a film and possibly give the ending away. In the age ofYou­Tube and Internet videos, trail­ers have become as important as TV commercials and public advertising. Because of this, there have been some great trailers, which successfully encourage people to see films, even if the movie is not that great. The ability of a trailer to motivate people can make or break a film. The first two "Spiderman" films serve as examples of a good trailer in the "Spiderman" film series. They had elements that made them must-see films. On the other hand, "Spider­man 3" had an average trailer and did not play a big part in drawing people to the cinema. Though this film did well at the Lucas should have made the modern "Star Wars," the preview for the first one was a motivating factor to seeing the movie. This raises questions about what makes a good trailer, which I think, lie in psychol­ogy. Successful trailers often have similar elements tha( excite people. They often start slow but build tension to increase interest in a film. This also includes snippets and moments of the film with dia­logue and music to stimulate the audience. If there were awards for greatness in trailers, one would certainly have to go to the . second Lord of the Rings film ''The Two Towers." It may not have been the strongest install­ment, however, I, along with several Internet users, regard it is the best trailer ever. It starts with serene music and dramatic cinematography. The editors of the trailer weave in images of intense action. As the music builds, the tension, dialogue, and text spark interest. Whi1e the images of battle and intense dialogue are excit­ing, the best element of this trailer is the music, which directly borrows from Clint Mansell's incredible score from "Requiem for A Dream." These elements keep the emo­tion building and relaxing until the final moments-of the trailer where there is an onslaught of energy through music and the immortal image of double doors. Though trailers do not mean as much to viewers after seeing the advertised movie, this one still gives me goose bumps. On the other hand, there are trailers such as the ones for "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and "Made of Honor," which makes me want to see the movies even less that before watching the previews. Ele­ments from these . trailers, namely "Sarah Marshall," that put me off are bothersome lines such as "from the makers of." This is vague and could refer to any of the hundreds of people who the film following that line credit. This ranges from the director or producer to the caterer or key grip. As for "Made of Honor," after watching the trailer, I feel as though I have seen the movie in its entirety. Though these types of movies about pluto_nic friends getting together are already predictable, the trailer shows in detail how the movie is going to end. A final bad element oft~ailers is the line "a twist you will not see coming." Viewers can find this line in the previews of every other action and horror movies. In ~ddition, because it causes people like me to look for a twist, one can usually see it coming. These and the lack elements found in good previews make for awful trailers. As the summer movies approach, some trailers will inspire me to hand over money to see a film, and others will make me not even care seeing about the DVD. A trailer is a magical movie element that can put people off a good movie, and pull others into a bad one.

My turtle feels emo­tionally smothered (3/25). I still hate exercise (10/9). The thought of trying to raise little people is no less terrifying (4/15), and traveling is still a test offaith and moral fiber (11/13). Luckily, I no longer have to deal with terrifying and inappropriate dating incidents involving Wiis (I 0/2), which gives me a great sense ofinner peace. You may ask WHY I no longer have to deal with it. Reaching the final stretch of an era of blood, sweat, and tears, we begin to plan a wedding. Oh yes, despite being the sole author of "Fear and Loathing in Commit­ted Relationships," which is much scarier than the one set in Las Vegas, I'm doing it. I kept the turtle alive and I'm getting married. Now I just have to keep myself and the fiance alive. No, it's not PETA people in scary masks (I bought them off with adorable, fuzzy l:\Ilimals), or the Animal Cracker Conglomerate (3/18) trying to take me out before I start a revolution. You see, kiddos, my· fiance is half black. It didn't matter to me. It doesn't matter to him, which is lucky for me. It doesn't matter to the people who love me, or to anyone No, you're not lost. This is the year 2008, not 1948. And this is coastal southern California, not the wilds of. .. well, wherever in America you're allowed to be racist. I'd like to believe there's nowhere like that, but I'm not stupid. I could sit down and be afraid, give up the love ofmy life, or cancel my order for 500 taquitos. I could rethink the idea ofhaving the wed­ding outside in nature, and instead have it inside the Pope Mobile (bul­letproof glass, what what). But instead, I follow my own advice. I fear not. If I kick off tomorrow, most likely driving too quickly and dangerously (9/18) or falling down the stairs (9/11), you should eat some delicious guaca­mole in my honor and follow these pearls of wisdom. Sort of pearls of wisdom. Ok, really only one. From me to you, happy unbirthday. Just. ..follow along. The only thing you absolutely have to do, besides have good sex at least once in your life, and laugh everyday, is let go of your hatred. In fact, let go • of it right now. Hatred, bigotry, racism. You profit nothing by these things, and you hurt yourself. Hatred is like cancer. If there's a cancer inside of you, it's not going to hurt someone you dislike. It's going to hurt you. And hatred of any kind is just that. A tumor that will choke the happi­ness and life out of you. If it's big­ otry or racism, sit down. If you're religious, find a place in your holy book that justifies your bigotry. Now bring it to me and I'll show you a hundred verses that cancel it out. If you're not religious, tell me what good your bigotry does you. Do you feel warmer with it? Does it keep you company? Does it laugh with you and have coffee with you? Does it somehow make you a better person? If you have an individual specifically that you hate, think of them right now. Picture them being -pelted with rubber duckies and then let it go. They have pains you know nothing about, and their own problems. And when you encounter some­ one who hasn't let their hate go, here's a nifty little trick. Don't be afraid. Even if it's directed at you. And your fiance. And you're thinking that Kevlar would look great with your wedding dress. Or your copy editor offered to make . you a wedding dress OUT OF Kevlar. The reason I do things with humor, instead of fear, is because life is serious. In fact, so serious that none ofus are going to make it out alive. Worries, like hatred, will overwhelm you and gobble you up. In fact, imagine that your worries ARE the rubber duckies, now pelt them at that person you so dislike, or who dislikes you, and let both of them go. So yes, go out. Let guacamole flow like fountains. Chunky, tasty fountains. And if you come to my • wedding, feel free to arm your­self to the teeth. I'm a Girl Scout at heart, and you all know the Girl Scout motto: One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor. Er, I mean, be prepared. You know, that honestly might be the Boy Scout motto. But you get the point. We rate everythin_g else, why ·not RateMyCop.com? in his or her right mind. But yes, there's someone who wants to hurt me for it. I mean, honestly, you'd think people would be more upset that he's French than anything else. Do you know what a snob he is about mustard? It's unbearable. BY JONATHAN TROMP.SON Pride Staff Writer ,.com?Living in Southern California, lately, it is nearly impossible not to notice all of the attention area police departments are getting. Los Angeles received national attention for corruption in numerous scandals. A few stand-outs include: the Rampart Division, the C.R.A.S.H. unit, notto men­tion the name that is now syn­onymous with LA police cor­ruption, Rodney King. Most recently LA police made the front-page news again with their actions taken against unarmed press and protestors at LA's MacAurthur Park. Orange County's former Sheriff Corona is now under federal indictment for abuse of office and cor­ruption charges. Orange County deputies are now potentially facing murder charges for various roles in jail house beating murders, allegedly being perpetrated both by inmates with depu­ties' knowledge, or, by the deputies themselves. In recent weeks, local San Diego residents find them­selves in one of the most frightening scenarios, as an off duty San Diego officer fires on and hits a mother and her 8-year-old son. While details continue to come out in the case, all are innocent until proven guilty, allega- Starbucks on Campus:What is youdavorite drink?

With all that is going on in our communities, it would seem almost natural that we would want to know more about the people that are "serv­ ing and protecting" us. A web site that is recei_ving attention as a result of heightened com­ munity interest both nationally and internationally, is, Rate­ MyCop.com. The LA based RateMyCop. •com motto is "y<;>u have the right to be informed." The site's basic premise is allowing users who register with an e-mail address to leave comments on its forum and community law enforcement officer database in regards to the law enforcement officers they have encountered and dealt with in their commu­nities. Comments and opinions range from praise like an assessment of one San Diego officer being "Very profes­ sional and businesslike in all respects," to a wide range of serious criticisms and accusa­ tions, that I will leave to the imagination. BadCopNews.com is an international law enforcement watchdog site based in Amster­ dam. The site's name speaks for itself, _as it archives articles from international reports of law enforcement abuses.

THE PRIDE NEWS Saving big with parking adjunction BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer Many at Cal State San Marcos can agree that the price for park­ing is exorbitantly expensive, and the high prices of parking viola­tions do not help to alleviate the depression of an empty wallet. But with a brand· new program offered by the Parking Adjudica­tion office here at Cal State San Marcos, many students and fac­ulty can save some much needed cash. Starting Tuesday April 22nd to Wednesday April 23"1, Park­ing Adjudication will waive the $25.00 late fee for any ticket ifyou ·pay your outstanding fee on these dates. The ijew program will help those with late fees to pay, so that they are not plagued by the fee of their violation and a $25.00 late fee. "We know that the economy is getting kind ofbad and we wanted to help students if they have any outstanding citations, they can pay it on those two days ... and we will waive the $25.00 late fee for them on each citation," stated Patti Hale of Parking Adjudication at CaJ State San Marcos. Even for tickets that students and faculty have received in the past, the late fees will simply get waived. For example, if someone has four previous citations charg­ing $50.00 each, the late fees for all four will total to $100. But ifa stu­dent or faculty member come in on the 22 or 23 and pay their citation charges, the total $100 late fee for all four citations will be waived. This will allow any driver to this campus to save money and park­ing problem that has been plaguing them resolved. The prices for parking permits for staff, faculty, and especially students are expensive, and many have voiced their opinions in the form of protests and petitions. But what many don't understand is that Parking Services is a self­sufficient company with no finan­cial stability from the university. With a proposed parking garage planned for completion in 2010, the funds for such a proj­ect must come from somewhere. In reality, the prices set for per­mits or violations will actually contribute to the advancement of the school, not to be brutal capitalism. "Our motto here is to educate, not to adjudicate" stated Hale. With the initiation of this event, all ·drivers of this institution will have the oppor­tunity to save money in these troubled times. From ELEMENTARY, page l on her master's thesis while already teaching at Farr. "It was exciting for my stu­dents to see that I wrote a book that is at the library they were just at," she said. Throughout their visit, the students were reminded that CSUSM is "everyone's uni­ versity" and that "everyone can come here" as long as they study hard, learn how to write and never give up. Hernandez Payne said it is very impor­tant, that despite the challenge of living in a low socio-eco­nomic area, the children still count on very supportive par­ents. She said language is one of their biggest challenges, but despite that, every teacher at Farr Elementary visits every single household of every child in their classrooms. They also have parent meetings once a month in which the parents are provided with activities, read­ing tips and other material to practice with their children. "The Latino culture values education a lot," she said. "The big challenge is the language bar­rier, but we still have a lot of sup­port. Visiting their homes makes us understand the living situation and allows us to get to know the child better." Parents who were among those visiting the campus said bringing children even at such a young age can be nothing but beneficial. "I like the idea because this way he can start realizing what his future may look like," said Maria Zavala, parent to a fifth grader. "This keeps him focused and motivated, he can start think­ing about what he wants, to be and what he wants to study, and make him strive for a better future." Hernandez Payne said it is very important to get children think­ing about college this early on, so it doesn't go to the back of their minds. "We want them to think that college is not something that you may or may not go to," she said. "It's actually something that will be the next step."

Zumaya, a IO-year profes­sional photographer, attends classes between picking up and dropping off his three daugh­ters. He initially attended SDSU where he tried to launch a year­book there as well. Fortunately, for CSUSM but unfortunate for Zumaya, "The project was not able to be com­pleted and go to press because the funding we had did not follow through on their prom­ise," he said. After his first debacle with SDSU he returned to CSUSM in pursuit of finishing his degree with "a better plan and [the abil­ity] to provide personal money to by skateboaf'\ . for resisting and officer. The officer get the project started," he said. Zumaya found numerous CSUSM staff, facility, and fellow Cougar supporters for a school wide yearbook. In fall 07 semester, he ran into Stephanie Erdodi. She wanted to organize a yearbook club. They became acquaintances and remain in contact today. Ultimately, "the success of this project is dependent on funding and support from the University," said Zumaya. The project gathers funding in other ways as well. The proj­ect offers free online portraits for graduating CoBA students. The project enables students to purchase their portraits. The project allots a portion of the sales to cover costs associated with producing a physical year­book. "Results from the Senior Experience team's surveys led to the creation of our prototype yearbook publication for CoBA. We have plans for next year to complete a yearbook for the [entire] University or possibly separate yearbooks for the indi­vidual colleges," said Zumaya. "Jim Hamererly, director of business .community relations from CoBA ... has provided sup­port that has been very impor­tant to the success we have had on this project.

From the moment I set foot on this University my loy­alty, passion, and love has been with CSUSM in every way. I had to ask myself the question before running for office, "What if I did not get elected ASI President?" After reflection, my answer to this question was, "I will con­tinue to engage and be engaged in CSUSM's growth to my utmost ability and capacity." When the reasons are right, what you stand for can never be defeated. How will you balance this with your job as a Resident Advisor? In order to engage fully into my role as ASI President, I must make tough decisions, this will be the first. I am 0 or 100%. This is what you get when you choose me. Balance, organization, and time management will be key to executing successfully as ASI President and an RA. I look forward to discussing the pos­sible options with Brian Dawson (Director ofUVA) in order for me to thrive in the year to come. How will you foster diversity on campus? This will come naturally because it is the forefront of who I am and what I do --I am a con­sensus builder. I have come to listen and to be the voice of the st}ldent body. Bringing people together from all paths of life is what I strive to achieve. Being a Resident Advisor for the inter­national & multi-cultural expe­nence has been an excellent training ground and an invalu­able opportunity in order for me to call everyone to the table, not to agree every time, but to under­stand each other every time. What do you imagine will be your biggest problem? -Bring the worst, scariest, and ugliest problems to me. For together with my ASI Team we will find a successful solution to any problem we are faced with. We are your student leaders for this reason.

Together we will face these chal­lenges and succeed in spite of adversity. In doing this, we will become unified as a community and show the true strength of our Cougar Spirit. I invite you not only to take ownership in your education here at CSUSM but also your campus life experience. Choose how you want to leave your mark on our dynamic campus.

Sheehan, who's son Casey died in the Iraq War in 2004, has gar­nered a considerable amount of national attention in recent years for her activism against the Iraq War and the policies of the Bush Administration. Her month-long "Camp Casey" protest in August 2005 outside of the President's ranch in Crawford, Texas became the focal point of the anti-war movement, launching Sheehan into the media spotlight. It was in Texas that CSUSM's Dr. Linda Pershing met and devel­oped a relationship with Sheehan. "I'm pretty good friends with pro­fessor Pershing," said Sheehan. "I got to know her in Texas and she has been a supporter of our efforts for a long time." It came as a surprise to many to hear that Sheehan would be making an appearance on campus, which comes in the middle of her bid for Nancy Pelosi's seat in the House of Representatives. When asked how she ended up at CSUSM, Sheehan pointed to her friendship with Dr. Persh­ing saying, "I've met a lot of her students across the country and they've wanted me to come for a long time. I was invited [by Pershing] and I love coming to colleges and high schools and talking." Given the uproar when Michael Moore was slated to speak on campus, Shee­han's visit was sur­prisingly met with little protest from the campus community. Throughout her pre­sentation the crowd was relatively mild as students both in sup­port of and opposed to her message lis­tened intently. Even with mixed degrees of support and opposition, Shee­han hasn't signaled her intentions to slow down any time soon.

From FAIR, page 1 it's black, white, green, or yellow, we're celebrating everyone and people from everywhere." The flags of over 40 different nations flew and representatives of over 30 different student orga­nizations were on hand at the fair, including France, Vietnam, Ger­many, Japan, Mexico, the Philip­pines, and the Middle East. The event was free and many of the organizations offered students a culinary taste indigenous to their respective countries. Hungry stu­dents lined up for crepes, bratwurst, egg rolls, and even birthday cake for every month of the year. "This is just a . fun way for people to think internationally," said April Paustian of Global Connections. "It's easy to think in American terms that so many students are accustomed to, but there's a whole other part that this country is all about. Sharing that aspect is a good way to grow." This year marks the sixth year of the fair's existence. The Uni­versity Global Affairs Office organized this year's event and sponsors included Associated Stu- Students dressed in traditional attire dents, Inc., the Office of Global Education, Student Life and Lead­ership, different student multicul­tural organizations and the Lan­guage Learning Center. Some organizations used the International Fair to highlight some of their past achievements and events over the year. Others took the opportunity to recruit Photo by Ben Ro/fee /The Pride and cross promote upcoming activities.

FEATURES The heathy side of tea Getting the most out of your beverage Afarewell to Dr. Newman LlWR professor says goodbye to CSUSM BY ARIANNE SCHULZ Pride Staff Writer Tea is a beverage full of health bene­fits-whether it is black tea, green tea, · white tea, oolong tea, or herbal tea. While tea is sometimes a general term for a large grouping of hot beverages, "tea" (this applies to black, green, and white tea) is actually an infusion of the leaves of the blooming white-flower, evergreen bush (Camellia sinesis) native to China and India. The term "tea" is used gen­erally for the term of infusion because marketers found con­sumers responded more favor­ably to it rather than labeling products as "herbal infu­sions." The only differences between the different vari­eties of tea (as previously noted: black, white, and green tea all originate from the same plant, Camellia sinesis) are how it is processed after the leaves are picked. Black tea is the darkest color because it is the most processed. Though black tea is the most processed/oxidized, studies have found that black tea still con­tains many beneficial compounds that can contribute to human health. Black tea is the most commonly consumed and pro­duced tea in the world. Another variation of tealeaf process­ing produces green tea. Green tea is less processed than black tea"T"""the leaves may be steamed or baked after:heipg'immedi­ately picked and thilpi-eserv~s,•a lot of the . antioxidant compounds in tea that make it such a health wonder. Green tea is very popular in Asia and has become increas­ing popular around the world. . The least amount of processing of tealeaves produces a rare, fragile tea­ . white tea. White tea 1s described as having the most delicate flavor and it also contains the most 0 X l ­ dants. White tea is only picked at certain times during the year· and after j:,eing picked," it is promptly dried with little or no oxidation exposure. Though white tea offers many health· benefits, green tea receives a lot of main­stream attention for its health advantages. Tea contains antioxidants, which neutral­ize the effects ofoxidants/free radicals that are products of cell metabo­lism. Tea contains flavonoids and catechins that are types of antioxidants that are effec­tive at neutraliz­ing free radicals. This is impor­t a n t because free-radical damage is being stud­ied to determine .its co_ntribution_to dis­ ~ ~ • . T eases and other health problems. Recently, a study in the Molecular Nutri­ tion and Food Research journal reports their findings that by adding citrus ele­ments to green tea, the catechins (antioxi­dants) became more stabile. While most teas are high in antioxidant compounds such as catechins, humans do not typi­cally "reap" or absorb all of these because they need to be in an acidic environment to increase absorption. There are many ways to implement this-try adding 2 to 3 tablespoons of orange, lemon, grapefruit, or lime juice to 1 cup of green tea. Additionally, tea manufacturers are making it even easier for tea con­sumers to get the most antioxidants out of green tea by offering green tea blends with citrus components already added in with tea. Look for Celestial Seasonings' Antioxidant Green Tea Blend or Salada's Original Green Tea Antioxidant Blend, which can most likely be found at local grocery stores. If caffeine content is a concern, there are many tea blends offered on the market that are decaffeinated (usually by carbon dioxide effervescence, which "cleanly" removes 99.6% to 99.9% of caffeine). According to Celestial Seasonings Tea, the caffeine contents of tea are roughly the following per 1 cup serving: black tea (60 mg), green tea (30 mg), and white tea (50 mg). Celestial Seasoning also notes for comparison the caffeine contents of 1 cup servings of coffee (90 mg) and soda (45 mg). So, simply put: enjoy tea-there is sure to be a tea that appeals to any preference and provides health benefits! BY ADAM LOWE Pride Staff Writer Dr. Lance Newman has been a Professor of Literature and Writing Studies (currently the Associate Professor) at CSUSM since September of 2002, teaching courses from Advanced Creative Writing to Transatlantic Romanticism. Before coming to CSUSM, Newman spent time teaching at State Uni­versity ofWest Georgia, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Brown University in Rhode Island -which, coincidentally, is where he earned his Master's as well as Doctorate degrees. (Unfortunately however, CSUSM Hookah Lounge -Pool Tables Games Great Food tiubblY 13ubblY Ca is going to miss Dr. Newman, as he moves on to the next chapter of his career, r ... )"I am moving to Utah, where I plan to do lots of hiking... sailing... mountain biking... and rafting... I'll be teaching at Westminster Col­lege in Salt Lake City," said Newman. Lance Newman is'a teacher who genuinely cares about his students-one of his favor­ite classes to teach students is creative writ­ing. "I love creative writing seminars where we teach each other how to make art out of words," said Newman. A Senior Business major/Lit~rature and Writing minor, Jona­than E. Thompson, took LTWR 105: Texts that Changed the World with Newman, and said, "Professor Newman was so awesome. I remember he assigned us 'Native Son.' That was such a good book and such a great class. It is unfortunate for CSUSM to lose such a great person." In addition to current students, Newman has also made lasting impressions on students who have since graduated and moved on to life after school. Brandon Gray, CSUSM alum whom graduated last semes­ter with his B.A. in Literature and Writing, said "[Newman] was the kind of professor that you wanted to work hard for because if you got a high grade on an assignment you know you deserved it." Since coming to CSUSM, Newman says about the campus, "the student population has almost doubled in six years. What used to be a sleepy little college now looks a lot more like a big university ..." Being part of this university's community has really meant a lot to Newman, "I really loved · being part of... building something new." "People here are very passionate about what they do and they really want this place to live up to their ideals," said Newman. When asked what, if any, advice he would like to give the students of CSUSM, Newman said, "the school belongs to the students. Only you can make sure we deliver what you want. And only you have the power to defend our school against budget cutters and corporatizers,'' In fact, Newman's influence and time at CSUSM has inspired many students to set their goals towards teaching. Sophomore Literature and Writing major, Jennifer Rylander says that Newn:ian has taught her "a lot about what he calls close reading in context which really helps me to under­stand not only what the author was trying to do with a piece of writing but also how to interpret literature. I know for a fact that his teachings will help me throughout my years as a student and eventually as a teacher." On top ofbeing a successful and educated professor, Newman is quite an accomplished author. In addition to publishing many essays and poems, he also published a book ofcriti­cism, "Our Common Dwelling." Currently, Newman is working on a book: "Capitalism is Killing Our Planet." "You can read some chunks at http://redgreenplanet.blogspot. com," said Newman. CSUSM is going to miss the presence of such a valuable individual. Newman has cre­ated a legacy that he leaves behind and will last for many years to come, long after he's ·been gone.

The irony ofthis is that The Onion is not news. Though The Onion claims to be news, in actuality, it is purely fictional-even thought it presents itself as if it is. Rather than present the news, The Onion makes up news­1 ike stories in sarcastic and ironfo ways-often resulting in humor. Although it is fic­tional, The Onion treats itself as a real news site and divides stories into local and interna­tional news sections, sports, entertainment, science, busi­ness, and opinion subdivisions. Each contains stories, which are interesting and can cause a reader to laugh aloud. An example ·includes a headline, which read, "Drug Win (is this supposed to be drugs win or drug wins)? Drug War." The stories covered often consider actual events while putting a humorous twist on them.

The writers then published it nationwide and during the Internet boom, they created theonion.com.

The ONN parodies the four main types of TV news coverage: the national news, the morning wake up shows, debate style news, and C-Span style cov­erage. Additionally, books are available for purchase on the site that contain past sto­ries. In 2007, The Onion pub­lished "Our Dumb World," an atlas that mocks the ste­reotypes and images of every nation.

All artists possess unique creativity and, more impor­tantly, vision (both in the literal and figurative sense).

The audience first meets Arma­gan while he is working on his latest masterpiece.He explains that he must plan a painting in his mind before putting anything on his imprint-sensitive canvas. Arma­gan uses a Braille stylus to trace simple lines and shapes, and then paints with his fingers rather than brushes. Working mostly in oils, he is able to use color, shadow, and composition even though he has never before experienced light. Of all of Armagan's astonishing abili­ties, his most intriguing skill is that he is able to use perspective and scale in his paintings. Dr. John Kennedy, Perception and Cognition Psychologist at the University of Toronto, conducts a series of experiments with Arma­gan to gain more knowledge on how exactly this artist is able to reproduce images more accu­rately than some sighted people can. Harvard Neurologists come to find that while Armagan pro­cesses information dealing with perspective, parts of his brain that should show no activity due to his blindness are in fact as active as they would be if he were actually looking at the object he is draw­ing.

Each year, Hollywood fills us with the promise it can deliver something bigger and bader for our viewing pleasure. Let's be honest, however -2007 was filled with niore of the latter. Endless • sequels bombarded us last summer: Spider-man 3, Shrek the 3rd, Harry Potter, and The Bourne Ultimatum to name a few (and they were the good ones). While sequels have become a mainstay for summer blockbust­ers, 2008 is looking to comic book heroes, robots, and one familiar, whip-cracking archeologist to provide the bulk of the this year's anticipated filmS". It's likely at least one original title will make its way to Sequelville from this year's summer offerings. Compared to last year, 2008 looks to be bigger, better, and more exciting, which Hollywood hopes translates to green pastures and millions of dollars. Rather than generating a biased "top ten" or a month-to-month release, the fol­lowing lists hope to satisfy kids, geeks, and other avid movie watch­ers. Grand triumvirate Iron Man (May 2): Okay, how can anyone not get excited over Robert Downey Jr. playing an alcoholic, charming, multi-billion­aire arms dealer? Comic fans will eat up Downey as he dons the red and gold suit. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom tbhe Crystal Skull (May 22): This ii-\irguably the most anticipated movie this summer.

Fun premise, fun cast -enough We hope that he brings intensity said. Movie previews and the ruination of the Movie-going experience: A Treatise BY ADAM LOWE Pride Staff Writer I don't know about you, but one of my favorite parts of going to the movies is watching the previews. The lights dim, a hush comes over the crowd -they begin. "The follow­ing preview has been approved for all audiences by the Motion Picture Association of America" displays in white lettering over a cartoonishly green background. 'From a black screen comes the incredible preview. One after the other, and each one is better than the first. Then after seeing that preview so many times and expecting so much -you see the movie, and what hap­pens? You get let down. Half the scenes_ in the preview, well, aren't even in the movie at all! Then the other half, the ones that seem like the funniest -they are the only actual funny parts of the whole movie! There is nothing more annoying than seeing a film and realizing the pre­view was the only good part. I remember a few years back with ''Down Periscope" there was a scene in the previews of a woman water skiing behind a submarine -but that wasn't even in the movie. I thought it was going to be funny to see sorrie chick skiing behind a submarine, but when I saw it, I was utterly dis­appointed. Same goes for a more recent film, "Stop Loss". There was a scene in the preview of the main female character laying on the beach, and to be a dude for a minute, I was looking forward to seeing her on the beach-but once again, it wasn't even in the movie! But then there are those times when you see a comedy, and the pre­view makes it look so damn hilarious that you just have to see it, but when you see it. . . That is one of my big­gest peeves -going to see a comedy and realizing that it could have been better just watching the preview -it's the most disappointing thing. When I saw the Will Farrell movie "Tal­ladega Nights ..." I felt so let down when I found that the only funny parts were all bunched together in the preview. I think it is about time someone writes a letter to the Motion Pic­ture Association of America. They need to know they are letting down so many viewers by the way they set up their previews. I mean, how upset are we going to be if Indiana Jones doesn't actually swing on his whip only to miss his landing and fall packwards through the windshield of a van? Come May, if that scene is not in the new Indiana Jones flick -I may just be the person to write that letter to the MPAA. I know that I've got some words for them -you should too. The warring vocals of "Cougar Idol" BY ROSS LICHTMAN Pride Staff Writer CSUSM hosted its own American Idol spin off, "Cougar Idol," which was held Wednesday, April 16, at the Clark Field House. The competition gave brave contestants .a chance to sing a song oftheir choice in front of a large crowd and then be reviewed by the three judges on stage. The contestants were Christopher Kinley, Michelle Vogel, Jazmine Brown, Maya Meal ins, Jess Judson, Shaun Lalime, Christina Wright, Katie Dremin, Alexander Hoang, and Erika Ervin. Songs were sung from some ofthe contestant's favor­ite artists. A wide variety of songs were covered from famous artists such as Shania Twain, Incubus, and Rhianna. Even our own "Britney Spears" was nice enough to show up for her comical performance, which was very entertaining to the crowd. Songs were either sung with a back­track of the original version, aca­pella, or with the contestant playing his or her own instrument. The three judges gave their own feedback to every contestant after their performance, but our judges were a lot nicer than the ones on the actual American Idol. At the end of the event, everyone in the crowd was asked to circle the name of the contestant that they thought had given the best perfor­mance. Michelle Vogel won with her great performance of Carrie Under­wood's "Before · He Cheats," and Erika Ervin came in a close second with her excellent performance of a song by the Dreamgirls. First place prize was a $250 gift cer­tificate to Ticketmaster. The second place prize was two tickets to Disney­land, and third place got a gift certifi­cate for dinner and a movie. Overall, the event gave students a chance to really show off their musical talent and it is hoped that the same competi­tion will be put on next year and will be bigger and better than ever. THE PRIDE 12 Tuesday, April 22, 2008 SPORTS CSUSM Softball splits -with #1 CBU BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer CSUSM Softball ran into a few roadblocks last week, dropping five of six games against some tough competition. The highlight of the week however, occurred on Satur­day as the Cougars knocked off the NAIA #1 ranked Cal Baptist Lanc­ers in an extra-innings thriller. The Cougars started the week off with a pair oflosses against #2 Point Loma on Tuesday. In game one, the Cougars lost by a score of 8-0. IQ game two, the Cougars buckled down on defense, but couldn't manage to produce any runs-losing, 2-0. The Cougars came into Sat­urday looking to upset the 46-4 CBU Lancers, and did just that. Game one was a stalemate through the bottom of the ninth inning, where Karen Morizi scored the winning, and only run on a Shanti Poston walk-off RBI single. The win was a product of stellar Cougar defense anchored by pticher, Melissa Lerno's com­plete game two-hitter. Cal Baptist sought revenge in game two of the doubleheader, defeating the Cougars by a score of 10-0. The Cougars attempted to carry the momentum from the upset into Sunday's contest at UCSD, but were unsuccessful. Another defensive battle came forth in game.one, as the Cougars' defense held the game scoreless until the bottom of the sixth. The Cougars were unable to produce a run in the top of the seventh, losing the game 1-0. The Cougars were could not convert game two, losing 8-5. Despite the tough week, the Cougars remain in #4 spot region­ally according to the 4/21 NAIA Regional Top-10. The Cougars have four games remaining in the regular season, today at Hope International, and Friday at La Sierra. Photo by Tim Moore I The Pride Karen Morzi scores the winning run to defeat CBU in extra innings Diploma Dash Cancelled BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer The first annual Sk Diploma Dash organized by the Cal State San Marcos Athletics has been cancelled due to low registration numbers. The race was set to wrap around the campus in a five-kilo­meter course on Saturday, May 3 at5:00p.m. "We were very disappointed we had to cancel the event, how­ever, due to very low registration numbers leading into the last few weeks before the event date, and due to a very difficult budget time, we had to cancel the event," said Associate Director of Athletics Jennifer Milo. "Our department could not afford to lose money on this event, and because of the very low registration numbers we were headed down that road." Proceeds from the race would have gone towards scholarships for CSUSM athletes. "We are looking to try and launch this event again next Spring with a different date and a different starting time. The event will be held in typical Sk ''fash­ion" in the morning. We were going to try to hold this year's event in the late afternoon. This may be part of the reason for the low registration numbers, so we will go with the morning run for next year," added Milo. THE CENTRE FOR ADVANCED LASER AESTHETICS BE READY FOR BIKINI SEASON!

THE PRIDE Tuesday, April 22, 2008 13 SPORTS Fields of VlSIOll CSUSM athletic department looks to accommodate the demand ·for the athletic facilities on campus . BY ALEX HAND Pride Staff Writer Currently having ten thriving ath­letic programs, CSUSM's athletics department is looking to expand facili­ties and programs sometime in the near future. The recent release of the CSUSM Fields of Vision video is the first step in bringing new athletic facilities and pro­grams to the university. The video can be acce&sed at http://www.csusm.edu/ athletics/, and gives an overview of the plans for construction on the 25 acres of undeveloped land near the main entrance of campus. Although the university does eventu­ally plan on adding new athletic facilities that would bring on new programs such as men's and women's basketball and women's volleyball, the first priority is to cater to the current programs that are in need of a facility on campus. Associ­ate Director of Athletics for Develop­ment, Jennifer Milo stated that, "Base­ball and softball fields are top prio"rity, that's what we are hitting real hard on right now." Both the baseball and soft­ball teams are currently forced to play home games off campus at local high schools due to the lack of the facilities on campus. As previously mentioned, the video does highlight plans of adding new ath­letic facilities such as an arena and an aquatic center; which would provide two much needed facilities for the campus and. community. A new arena would make room for men's and women's bas­ketball as well as women's volleyball. The addition of these programs would allow for expansion well beyond the uni­versity. "Our main ultimate goal is to get into the NCAA as a division II member" says Jennifer Milo. By adding these two teams, the CSUSM athletic dept. would be able to make the move into the NCAA. There is currently no projected time­line for the project since the construc­tion of tbe facilities depends on fund­ing. Since no state funds can be used for athletic facilities, funding is primarily based on donations made by businesses and individuals in the community. On a positive note, the progress of the project will not be affected by the recent CSU budget cuts since state funding will not be used whatsoever. For a small campus like CSUSM, any­thing that adds to student life is benefi­cial for the campus. When asked what new facilities and new sports programs would do for the CSUSM community, Milo responded, "building up that front yard is huge for student life, students would be able to utilize the fields for rec. reality. The video· will ser.ve as a mar­sports as well." She went on to say that, keting package to show potential donors "This would add a huge element to our what is planned for the university.

THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Import Brands Alliance in St. Louis, Missouri, imports Hoegaarden, pro­nounced, "Who gar den," from Bel­gium. The multi award-winning beer's name origi­ nates from the vil­ lage of Hoegaarden, in Belgium's Brabant Province, where the brewing of white beer traces back to 1445, according to the label. The cardboard carrier secures six 12-fluid ounce dark brown glass bottles. The six pack retails for $8.99 at BevMo. Cream, silver, Off her new album "Remnants of Marley," "Sandpaper Song" is earthy, folky, and full of slap­tapping drums and bluesy guitar. With pristine plucking and building vocals, this track embodies May's playful style and stoic lyrics. blue, and white hues dominated the coloring of the packaging. The name ofthe beer takes center stage. The bottles contain the same imaging. The brewery u t i ­lizes a purposefully designed bottle that releases certain flavors when poured into a glass. A silver cap with the brewery's logo in blue and gold stencil seals a pres­surized bottle with an alcohol by volume of4.9%. The beer pours chunky forming an almost inch thick head. The head grad­ually dissipates and leaves a more than average lancet thus trapping the rising carbonated bubbles. Most light colored beers are see-through. However, the light colored Hoegaardeh embodies a murky pond hindering vision through one side of the glass to the other. The beer emits a hybrid aroma simi­lar to a Heineken and alocal micro brew. Surprisingly, the beer enters the mouth calm and leaves calm. Again, most beers have a onetime powerful surge of flavor where as Hoegaarden releases a continual small tingling wave that gently washes over all corners of the mouth. The ale leaves a pleasant coating of flavoring encouraging the mouth to consume more. Hoegaarden offers a thrill­ing adventure. The beer defies almost every stereotype asso­ciated with a white styled beer.

Matthew Funes Playing the Violin Pride Photo/Kateri Rogers By KATERI RODGERS Pride Staff Writer Over 100 people gathered together to enjoy the wonder­ ful sounds of classical music as they observed a quartet of dis­ tinguished performers playing the viola, violin, and cello to the Italian renditions of Bach, Schubert, Mozart and Gardel music that has been cherished across cultures and across time. The quartet included the musi­ cal talent of Matthew Funes, viola; Amy Hershberger and Aimee Kreston, violin; and Rowena Hammill, cello. Thursday’s performance not only honored the memory and vision of Matthew Funes’ father, Dr. Donald J. Funes (1939-1999), but also raised funds for the Funes Funds. The Funes Funds was established by Dr. Funes to assist students in attending arts events in the region as they followed their passion and broadened their understanding of the arts. Dr. Funes joined Cal State San Marcos in 1990 as a professor and architect in the Visual and Performing Arts program. He was a trained flutist and spe­ cialized in indigenous Andean musical instruments. “I knew Dr. Funes very well; he was a very close friend. » >Article cont. on pg. 2 To the Left: Hundreds ofInformational Booths Filled Balboa Parkfor Earth Day Visitors to Explore.

Pride Photo/Melanie Addington fc o S S ta » » !§Sg] »>Article cont, on pg. 4 Planetary Alignment: Something like a Phenomenon By SHERRITA COBBS Pride Staff Writer Last Monday, the five major planets in our solar system were clearly aligned and visible to the “naked eye.” This week marked the beginning of a rare astro­ nomical phenomenon that will continue for the next four to six weeks. During this time period, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter will be totally aligned and in plain view. The last time the planets were aligned in a linear position was in 1940. Our solar system is like a disc, in which each planet is set respectively in the same plane. Mark Sappenfield, staff writer from The Christian Science Mon­ itor, explained that, “from earth, the sun, the moon, and every planet follow the same track through the sky, called ecliptic.” The configuration of planets “operate like clockwork as they go around the sun, and some­ times they gather together. This is one of those times. Every 20 years or so, Jupiter and Saturn are close together in the sky... Planetary alignments and con­ junctions —the forming of lines or distinct shapes —occur when the planets gather on the same side of the sun,” explained Kelly Beatty, an astronomist and the executive editor of “Sky and Tele­ scope Magazine.” These planets will become visible 45 minutes after the sun sets. Experts say that the best place for viewing this spectacular phenomenon are places where the horizon is planar to where you stand. For exam­ ple, for San Diegans who live in coastal areas surrounded by water, the ocean would be the best place to view this “festival of lights.” For those who are more inland, surrounded by mountains and valleys, the best place might be in the comfort of your back­ yard, or places where sunsets are visibly undisturbed. “Usually, planets are spaced out where a line is not apparent. Saturn, for instance, takes 80 earth years to circle the sun and Mercury takes 88 days to circle the sun,” said Thomas Aguilar, staff writer for the skypub.com newsletter. From our perspec­ tive, planetary alignment creates a definite phenomenon because of the unusual positioning of the five planets near each other and on the same side of the sun. Although the alignment of the planets will occur throughout the six-week period, note these highlighted dates when experts predict this spectacle of light will produce the most brilliant results. April 27-29: Mercury, usu­ ally hard to spot because it’s located so near the sun, appears at 16 degrees above the horizon. Saturn, Mars and Venus are crammed together. May 5: Mars, Venus and Saturn form a perfect equilateral triangle. May 10-12: Mars and Venus are positioned one in front of the other, appearing as one object. May 14-15: The planets will form a kind of necklace. May 16-17: A crescent moon leads a crooked line of planets. Mercury takes up the rear, barely visible above the horizon, on the verge of disappearing. There is a perk for “skywatchers” with access to tele­ scopes and the motivation to get up in the middle of the night. At about 4 a.m., the rest of the plan­ ets in the solar system— Nep­ tune, Uranus and Pluto, will also appear.

Click on the pull-down menu and highlight “video” under Material Type, then click on the gray bar at the bottom that reads “Limit/sort items retrieved using above data.” This will pull only the videos from your initial search. If you have further ques­ tions, please ask library staff for assistance. “Library hours are NOT con­ venient for students. Study group rooms are a necessity, and you do not have them available.

Carm el Street S an Marcos, C A Japanese Ikebana Demonstration By BRIAN FISHER Staff Writer Students and faculty were invited to participate in a Japa­ nese flower arrangement dem­ onstration (also called Ikebana) last Wednesday on Founders’ Plaza. Sensei Imamura noted that approximately 50 people participated in the demon­ stration in spite of the cold weather. “This is my hobby, so we had a lot of fun,” explained Ise Huffman, a teacher at the Ohara School of Ikebana. Huffman’s arrangements included orchids, lilies, ferns, carnations, plumb branches, moss and even pars­ ley. The arrangements are con­ structed by attaching flowers and branches to spiked plates in the bottom of shallow pots of water. A border of moss or parsley complements the display. Students were able to exper­ iment with more simplistic arrangement styles, selecting from assortments of carna­ tions, daises and lilies. Stu­ dents inserted flowers in a foam block, making various creative patterns. “I’m giving this to my m o t n s a i d one student, after finishing her elaborate Ikebana arrangement.

This waterfront play­ ground of colonial charm affords the tourist plenty of activities. During the day, take a stroll on the cobblestoned streets of Faneuil Hall Marketplace, located in the heart of down­ town Boston. There, you’ll see the original ‘Cheers’ bar, experi­ ence ethnic foods like authentic Italian ice cream (served by deli­ cious Italian-speaking waiters), and watch live street perform­ ers practice traditional Irish dancing. Take a moment to admire the blend of Neoclassic and Greek-inspired architecture, unique to this area. By nightfall, be sure and stop in “The Yan­ kee’s” or “Revere’s Pub” and find out exactly what inspired Sam Adams to start his Bostonbased beer business.

Driving in, you’ll be awed CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Editor by the colonial style brick-red buildings of the university that surrounds Harvard Square. Here, you can check out everything from a quaint Mexican food res­ taurant to quirky souvenir shops - a tourist’s paradise. When you’re done shopping, you can walk through the Harvard Uni­ versity grounds and read about the history of the campus on engraved stone mantels protected by really intimidating looking gargoyle statuettes. The club scene in Boston is not to be missed. Just picture yourself sipping on an apple mar­ tini, listening to the latest Paul Oakenfold mix while admiring the perfect view of snow slowly falling to the street from atop an exclusive nightclub. In down­ town, the music of choice is house and techno, and all of the clubs’ patrons are dressed up - East Coast style. Forget those tight V-neck’s and Hawai­ ian style shirts that the gentlemen of San Diego sport. Bostonian males are dressed for success in pressed collared shirts. Little black or red strappy dresses seem to be favorites for feminine eve­ ning attire there. There’s nothing like expe­ riencing culture shock in your own country. And there’s no better way to experience it than to take a trip across die country to Boston. Professor Marcos Martinez, Silverio Haro, Dulce Solis, Jeana Reagan, Lydia Tonantzin Contre­ ras, Joe Cordero, Luis Torres and Phil Jerge brought to the stage the words of Latino poet Jimmy San­ tiago Baca, in “Martin,” which premiered last weekend. The poetry reading/play was an inspi­ ration of Martinez. The poem is about an extremely difficult jour­ ney and, at the same time, a reflection of his life and of our lives as the audience. “This poem is about facing your life experiences, whatever they may be, and turning negative experiences into positive results. It’s about overcoming adversity, building a family, and making decisions that move your life for­ ward,” said Martinez.

He is right; there is no easy interpretation of the play. It touches you indepen­ dently, differently. “At first, I did not know how Martinez was going to bring a poem into stage. It is a poem that Martinez and my co­ actors brought alive,” said Con­ treras. The presentation began with Polka dance, and led to the intriguing poetry reading on Martin, one of the two narra­ tive poems from Baca’s “Martin & Meditations on the South Valley.” (New Directions Paper­ back, 1987). The play takes place on a simple stage with a few candles, a chair and an altar. The lighting was created by Bruce Beers, director of operations at the Cali­ fornia Center for the Arts, Escon­ dido, and the photography comes from Patricio Chavez, former visual arts curator of the Centro Cultural de la Raza, currently an instructor and graduate student at the University of California, San Diego.

Over­ all, the music didn’t distract the Iflow of the film and almost always complimented each scene. If you’re looking for special effects comparable to “The Mummy” films, look elsewhere. Most of The “Scorpion King” is based on melee combat sequences with very few dazzling visual effects. In short, get tickets for “The Scorpion King” if you want entertainment without requiring your brain to work. With its little redeeming value, there are better movies out there that will cer­ tainly “give you more bang for your buck.” �G etting w h a t ’ Coming to You s By EMILY KELLEY Pride Staff Writer Let’s play a quick number game. 11,05, 4.07, 3.06. Now the object is to guess what these numbers represent. Are they the answers to some mind-bending Mensa test? Close. Are they my bank account balances for the past three months? Closer. Are they the dates that doomsday cults have decreed the world will end on? They might as well be. They are the fictional dates (but are real dates any truer?) of com­ pletion for various improvements around campus and are so far away they’re about as relevant as the impending doom foretold in “The Weekly World News,” or whatever trashy rag you don’t admit to reading. The gargantuan new library, the bountiful parking structures and the luxurious new dorms have been pitched to us, the hard-working students, in terms that bring to mind Xanadu-esque vistas but deliver naught but a “Beyond Thunder Dome” reality. All of these things that we are currently paying good money to construct, all of these things that would be really great to have, all of these things that most of us will not be around to enjoy. I’m sorry if I sound a little bitter, but when I show up on campus, a half an hour early to find parking, and arrive at my 10:00 a.m. class 15 minutes late because I couldn’t, I get a little twinge of jealousy for the next generation of CSUSM stu­ dents who will reap the benefits wrought by our sacrifice. What sacrifice? OK, it’s not like I’m personally financing the entire expansion effort, but, of course, I contribute financially whether I like it or not. Oh, did I mention that it’s ugly? OK, I said it. Construction is not pretty; I go to an ugly school; I’m so ashamed. But let’s back up a little before I get good and ranting. Why do we attend Cal State San Marcos? Scenario number one - You worked hard in high school, got fantastic grades, but because of financial/lifestyle/circumstantial issues, you decided to forego the Ivy League and boldly continue your education at a small, upand-coming campus with lots of potential where, gosh dam it, you just might make a difference. Scenario number two - You piddled around in high school and didn’t get the best possible grades all the time; well, maybe you did. You were unsure of the road you wanted to head down and couldn’t see subjecting yourself to a lifetime of student loan paybacks for the privilege of changing your major three times at a university where you are paying more for the landscap­ ing than for the Pulitzer/Nobel/ whatever prize-winning profes­ sors, who are teaching you the saitie crap (if theyYe teaching you anything at all) that you could learn at CSUSM. Are you the former or some­ thing like it? I understand that this is a gross generalization and that the CSUSM student body is a rich and varied one. But if that’s the case, then you should proba­ bly just stop reading now, put the paper down and continue on your merry way, because you’re prob­ ably not going to agree with me, and I’m not really trying to con­ vince you. If you feel that the administration is working their collective keisters off trying to make this the best campus pos­ sible for the bargain price that we pay, then fine, great, more power to you. That is a fantastic attitude to have, and I hope it makes you very happy. However, if you are like me (see scenario two), then maybe you feel like you have the right and responsibility to com­ plain about the shabby conditions that we are immersed in. Of course, I can’t speak for anyone but myself, and all I know is that I have 38.5 units left. I have two semesters and a summer ses­ sion to do it in. At registration time, I am competing with what seems like hundreds of other stu­ dents (so I know some of you are in the same boat) for a limited amount of classes. And when we sit shoulder to shoulder (those of us who get in), squished in to the very back walls, I wonder if maybe I should have chosen a less popular major. I guess I should be tolerant, because plans are in the works to expand the course schedule and offer more classes at a time and so forth. This will be really great in five years when it happens, and, as an added bonus, the people who are trying to enroll then will have one less person to compete with because I will already have grad­ uated ... hopefully. Furthermore, as I sit in my much-hated poetry class (which I take because any class relevant to my major is full) and stare out the windows, I can’t help but think how the construction vehi­ cles resemble insects and dino­ saurs. Oh look, there goes a dump truck that looks like a yellow jacket, and that crane is a bronto­ saurus. That’s really special; that and the incessant boom-boom of the construction process make for an environment that’s really conducive to learning. Not that I’m blaming the noise or the con­ stant distraction for my inability to appreciate Wordsworth and Blake; OK, maybe I am just a little. But moreover, it’s aestheti­ cally unappealing. When I drive to school or as I sit in my classes or walk around campus being accosted at all turns by the dust, dirt and discarded remnants of progress, I sort of long for the erstwhile days of sprinklers and recesses, if only for a brief respite from the tedium of construction, construction, construction. Con­ struction of structures, I might add, that I will not be able to enjoy. This is the part that some of you might find annoying. I don’t have any (read that as zip, zero, not a single one) suggestions on how to fix this. Buildings take time to erect. Plans are in the works, and it’s not like I was Shanghaied and forced to attend school here. I knew what I was getting into, but the reality of it is just a bit much. Making Everyday Earthday: What You Can Do On Campus To Make A Difference By RAY HINES for The Pride Have you ever wondered how you alone can make a difference in our environment? Often times in the news, we hear about uncon­ trolled population growth, global warming, air and water pollution, and solid waste depicted as over­ whelming issues that can seem way too big to pursue alone. That is why it will be a comfort to read this article and share it with friends who may feel like you do. Each spring, we are reminded about the most pressing environ­ mental concerns with the coming of Earthday. Earthday began in April of 1970 and has since been a successful tool in drawing the public’s attention to environmen­ tal problems, both locally and globally. The response to Earth­ day has sent a message to policymakers that environmen­ tal issues are of real public concern and definitely worthy of political consideration. With the current administration in the White House, it is, now more than ever, important to show your support for the environmen­ tal movement. The recent “4-1-1” event here on campus gave stu­ dents and staff access to some of the environmental organizations in our area and provided infor­ mation, insight, and a chance to get involved. If getting involved directly with these and other organizations isn’t your bag, don’t feel alienated. There is still plenty that you can do to help. What can I do? To be an environmentallyminded individual doesn’t take anything more than considering what you do, and finding out if there is anything about your behavior that adversely affects the environment around you. Can you change those behaviors to try and mutually benefit yourself and the environment? The ques­ tion echoes the familiar “Think Globally, Act Locally” quote, which supports action here on the campus of CSUSM and around the world. Here are 10 suggestions to “Think Globally, Act Locally.” 1. Don’t throw recyclable materials in the trash. Recycle your cans, plastic bottles, and used paper in the proper bins, which are located conveniently next to the trashcans around campus. 2. If you do not have recy­ cling services at home, bring your recyclable materials to school and use the bins here. 3. Reuse paper that has only been printed on one side and then recycle it. 4. Bring your own lunch in a reusable container. The fast food here and off campus is unhealthy anyway and creates tons of trash. 5. Walk, ride your bike, take public transportation, or carpool to school. If you find this difficult, pressure school repre­ sentatives to establish a rideshare program. 6. Guys, use the urinal instead of the toilet if you are only going to pee. It uses only half as much water per flush. 7. Gals, don’t believe that ANY sanitary products can be safely flushed down the toilet. They contain chemicals (bleach and other contaminants) and can clog waste treatment facilities, cause blockages, and end up pol­ luting our waterways and coast­ lines. 8. After washing your hands, use an air hand dryer if available, if not, use ONE paper towel. 9. Carry a refillable water bottle with you and fill it from the drinking fountain or the “water” tab on the Coca-Cola machine in the Dome. 10. Carry a refillable coffee/ soda mug; you will get a discount and reduce the amount of Styro­ foam that ends up in landfills. These 10 simple steps can make quite a difference if fol­ lowed by everyone here on campus, and better yet, around the world. It doesn’t take much more energy to reduce, reuse, and recycle. It just takes a little bit more consideration, something we all could use. Additional information about campus programs, events, and environmental awareness can be found by contacting the Envi­ ronmental Club on campus. The Environmental Club invites you to get involved - Thursdays in UNIV 460 from 4:00-5:00 p.m. I was raised on a vision of college, which included campus housing (maybe it’s not spacious but certainly more cost effective than the norm of $1100 for a two -bedroom apartment), walking to classes (the ones you actually need) across ample parking lots and completely finished cause­ ways, studying with no distrac­ tions in a well-equipped library, and knowing, knowing this is the best my campus is ever going to be. Maybe I’m just jealous of those who will come after me and actually have all the things I only can wish for. However, there is an attitude, both disturbing and oh so prevalent, that we should all just accept things as they are because we don’t pay very much in tuition and fees. I think that’s crap. Nobody wants or deserves a bargain basement education just because they can’t afford a school with more established prestige. CSUSM has more than just spatial potential. We have the potential to be a school known for its resourcefulness and refusal to settle for anything but the best. Raise your voices, cats and kit­ tens. If you don’t like things, let’s change them. Let’s get what we deserve instead of only what we are paying for. I’d certainly love to hear any suggestions. Let’s make it so we can actually find a parking spot, get the classes we need, and not feel guilty because we are asking for too much. Wel­ come back, youthful angst. In Response to D avid Yanagi Letter to Editor The expression and beliefs held in the article addressing the issues of 9-11 and the IsraeliPalestinian conflict (from the April 16 issue) perpetuate the absurdly one-sided media in this country. However, it was worse to see such a travesty published in The Pride as we should base our thoughts on logic and knowledge. Our con­ cern as an American society and college students should be focused on the protection of civil liberties within our own nation and the end of the ‘blame game.’ It is truly sad to see a student pointing the finger at a particular ethnic group in such an accusatory manner to defend their freedom of speech. As ‘ Americans’ we should embrace diversity, not stress the possi­ ble enemy, which may reside with our citizenry. It is a time to forget who is at fault and to achieve some higher level of morality. May the powerful one bless us all in these times we face.

I would like to conclude with a passage from an interview with a commander in the Israeli army, which was conducted by the Israeli journalist Amos Oz and published in the Israeli daily newspaper, Davar, on December 17, 1982. “Even today I am will­ ing to volunteer to do the dirty work for Israel, to kill as many Arabs as necessary, to deport them, to expel and bum them, to have everyone hate us, to pull the mg from underneath the feet of the Diaspora Jews, so that they will be forced to run to us crying. Even if it means blowing up one or two synagogues here and there, I don’t care. And I don’t mind if, after the job is done, you put me in front of a Nuremberg Trial and then jail me for life. Hang me if you want, as a war criminal. Then you can spruce up your Jewish conscience and enter the respectable club of civilized nations, nations that are large and healthy. What your lots don’t understand is that the dirty work of Zionism is not finished yet, far from it.” Amos Oz has never revealed the true identity of the speaker, but he is pre­ sumed to be Ariel Sharon by many sources. It is very important to note, that although the media may not relay it to the American public, the leader of the Palestin­ ian people, Arafat, is actually a Christian. Hence, it would be a veiy uneducated assumption to think of this dilemma as a con­ flict between Judaism and Islam. Sincerely, Civan Erman Gokcimen On Behalf of the Filthy Smoke-Wielding Monsters of CSUSM By GEORGE BURGESS JR Pride Staff Writer If you were annoyed with last week’s rant, titled “Choking in the Stairwell,” you were not alone. If you missed the article, I can sum it up quickly because it had only one valid point. Smok­ ing in front of building entranceways is not fair to “non-smokers and smokers alike.” To answer the question posed, “Why is it people smoke in the most absurd places, like right in front of the entrance to a restau­ rant or in a busy stairwell?” let me state that, quite simply, this is where the ashtrays are gen­ erally located. Smokers do not determine the locations of the designated smoking areas. If you don’t like where the ashtrays are placed, take it up with Student Services. I’m sure they would love to hear from you. Are readers really expected to believe this quote: “Every Tuesday and Thursday, as I walk to my final class in University Hall, I find myself taking the stairs and choking on the clouds of cigarette smoke that fill the stairwell”? This sounds fairly dramatic and exaggerated to me. It is more likely that, occasion­ ally, on Tuesdays and Thursdays on your way to University Hall, after smelling smoke, you fake a slight cough. To let nearby smokers know that you do not like smoke. I call this move the “FC,” or fake cough. If you don’t believe me, hang around a place where smokers and non-smokers cross paths and decide for your­ self. If you really want to have fun, invite a friend and together identify FC’s, then score them in Olympic fashion. Remember to consider intensity, volume and overall believability. Anti-smokers isolate ciga­ rette butts as the only form of litter on campus. Cigarette butts should never be thrown any­ where except in an ashtray; how­ ever, cigarette butts are not the only form of garbage needlessly thrown on the ground. Over the course of a semester, how many flyers are thrown on the ground in the parking lot? I can hear the responses already. “Flyers don’t harm anyone, but second-hand smoke does.” Right? Why is it that people get so outraged about second-hand smoke, yet most people don’t think twice about filling their tank with gas or burning oil and coal? Isn’t the use of fossil fuel more harmful to the environment and our health? To the people complaining about second handsmoke, how important was the air to you when you voted? It will be interesting to see how involved the second-hand smoke Nazis get with the three major power plants tentatively scheduled for construction in Mexico. I’ll give you three guesses to figure out why these plants are going to be built south of the border, but I bet you’ll need only one. If you are really concerned about polluting the air, do the world a favor and focus on something bigger than the trace amounts of toxins you may be receiving from second-hand smoke on campus. If you are really concerned about litter, pick something up. Chances are, you just don’t like smoke. Until I am informed otherwise, I am within my rights to smoke in the desig­ nated areas. It’s my luck that someone reading this is severely asth­ matic, vegan, always considerate of others, voted green, has never littered, obeys every law, con­ sciously strives to think objec­ tively and is rightfully offended. To you, I offer my apologies. H A V E A N OPINION? S UBMIT A LETTER TO T HE EDITORS TO P RIDE@ CSUSM .EDU To t h e lefty O ld Logo, To the right.

In spite of the fact that the team posted no victories this season, optimism abounded. “We always want to build a positive foundation for the team and take out the negative,” said Michael Nguyen. The Cougars had one of their last games of the season on April 18 at UCSD, against the Tri­ tons. The game was aggressively played by both squads. The Tri­ tons scored six goals in the first half and the Cougars scored two goals in the second, courtesy of Jason Walton and Brad Goodwill. During the second half of the game, the Cougar defense held UCSD scoreless during the third quarter. At one point, a time -out was called by a referee in order to ask both teams to “play clean and let us call the game.” The Tritons at times appeared to be frustrated because they were not performing as well as they would have liked to. Toward the end of the game, a fight broke out because one of the Triton players jabbed a Cougar in the ribs with his stick, forcing him to retaliate by hitting that same Triton in the face. After they both were called out for a few minutes, the Triton player apologized and they shook hands. Throughout the game, the team would huddle. The hud­ dles included positive and moti­ vational words from all of the players. The majority of the team is entirely new to lacrosse. Captain Cory Barnhart talked many play­ ers into joining the team, includ­ ing Erik Roper and Michael Nguyen. “He bugged me into playing and I cracked out and fell in love with it” said Nguyen. At the beginning of the season, their first coach stopped attending shortly after the first game for unknown reasons. Scott Srustulka was a spectator at one of their games early in the season. He began speaking with Barnhart and became aware that they were in need of a coach. Srustulka has an abundance of lacrosse expe­ rience and decided to take the position of head coach for the Cougars. Srustulka explained that he “put the team together I could with what I had.” Associated Students, Inc.(ASI) helped out with some of the funding, which included “league dues, referees, and insurance for the players,” Srustulka said. In order to fully finance the team, the players held fundraisers like car washes. In addition, they also took dona­ tions and even used their own money to pay for the necessary equipment and uniforms. The team endured practice three times a week for two hours. Coach Srustulka was not too adamant about the play­ ers attending every practice this year because he stepped in at mid-season. “Practice is an example of how you play. Despite the losses, the morale was always there,” said Coach Srustulka. Next year, there will be an even more strict, Women’s Soccer Team Begins Practicing By MARTHA SARABIA News Editor As semesters continue to pass by, Cal State San Marcos’ sports teams continue tp grow. The newest addition is the wom­ en’s soccer team, which practices every Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. on Mangrum Field. Although the team has not begun its regular season league play, which will begin next fall, Associated Students Incorpo­ rated (ASI) has recognized it as an official club sports team, according to the co-captains. The team, co-captained by Carol Devendorf, a sophomore majoring in Liberal Studies, and Casie Burke, a sophomore major­ ing in Human Development, was established because they “played soccer for years, and there are not many sports, neither many women’s sports, in school. We all just love the sport and want to play it,” said Devendorf. The practices are very infor­ mal, according to the co-captains. “It is to get back in shape and to remember how to play soccer again .. ..we don’t want to intimidate anybody,” said Deven­ dorf. Burke added, “It’s very easy-going.” The captains also said that the team is working on basic skills and strengthening abili­ ties. Devendorf and Burke are both very enthusiastic about find­ ing new players to join next semester’s league. “We are look­ ing for competitive players, of all ages,” said Devendorf. Another team player, Brit­ tany Jones, sophomore and Lib­ eral Studies major, said, “I think more people should come [to practices.] It’s been fun (being on the women’s soccer team).” Next semester’s goals for the team’s first CSUSM league are The Pride Co-Editor Co-Editor News Editor FeatureEditor Opinion Editor Arts Editor Graduate Intern Business Manager Advisor Claudia Ignacio James Newell M artha Sarabia Lisa Lipsey Alyssa Finkelstein Melanie Addington Amy Bolaski Alyssa Finkelstein Madeleine Marshall ; All ojrinib^s; letters to the editor, published id The Pride, represent die opinions o f the httthOr, and do not necessarily represent the viCW of The Pride, S to have an “active involvement in school,” according to Burke, and to have “unity and a good time,” according to Devendorf. “We don’t want to lose, people in the middle of the league because they get bored; we want them to be interested in it ” added Burke. Although the team practices on Sunday mornings, Burke said this could change. Those interested in joining the team are encouraged to attend practices and to contact ASI for more information, or to email deven002@csusm.edu or burke@013 @csusm.edu. The team had a bake sale fundraising event today during the job fair and also recruited new players.

Neverthe­ less, positive signs were shown as “many players stepped up when the captain and other players had conflicting schedules, which shows good leadership,” Nguyen said. CSUSM is “a commuter school, so it is hard to build unity, but it has definitely improved from the beginning in compari­ son to the end. Sacraficing a little bit of time, money and personal interest is vital for the school’s success,” said, maintaing that his goal for next season is simply “to win. Srustulka plans to promote the sport in an entertaining fash­ ion in order to get fans to come out and support the team. “We would really appreciate more school spirit to any one who will come out and give us support,” said Nguyen. As a team, the Cougars hang out together outside of school, as well. They had a bonfire in the beginning of the season. Team members often get together for dinners and parties to promote team unity. During the summer, some of the team members will join summer men’s lacrosse teams.

There are simply not enough study spaces in our 28,000 square feet in Craven Hall. When we move into the new building (which will have more than 150,000 square feet for library functions), we will have 35 group study rooms. “Place more signs in the library to remind students to be considerate by not using cell phones.” We checked on our signage and find them on both floors near study areas. We simply do not have enough staff to ‘police’ the library for cell phone and food offenders but have found that fellow students are very effective when they ask other students to be more considerate. “It is very frustrating when I ask every day how to work the computer to locate or find journals or books. I’ve made an appointment with a reference librarian, but she didn’t stay long enough to help me. On the phone she told me that I had an hour with her, but it was quite differ­ ent because it was only 15 min­ utes - and still I wasn’t sure how to use the computer. So I con­ tinue to ask every day. Everyone is too busy to help. I wish they had access to these databases in public libraries. Reference librar­ ians there are less hectic, less in a hurry. Please change!” We are sorry to hear that you’ve had this experience. Your comments have been forwarded to the Research Services Group (RSG) for discussion. We do acknowledge that we are very busy! The tremendous growth in our student population means we are trying to help more students with the same number of staff. However, our number one pri­ ority is helping students with their information needs. We hope that your next experience with research assistance is more posi­ tive. “I rarely complain or fill out comment cards, but I must report on the uselessness of the copy machines in the library. Libraries need good copy machines. These machines are cheap and produce awful reproductions and copies. If this is going to be considered a competitive university the stu­ dents need capable resources!” In December the university changed its copy service from IKON to an in-house service pro­ vided by Campus Enterprises.

Jbrts & Lectures Series Taiko drummers fuse cultural sounds By Jennifer Talak Pride S taff Writer Drums, drums and more drums are coming to campus with the group San Jose Taiko — which takes traditional Japanese music and incorporates contemporary American, jazz, African and Latin styles into it. P.J. Hirabayashi, founder of the group, explains its music as traditional Japanese drumming that can be understood and appreciated in today's multicultural world. Taiko has its roots in the daily life of the common people; priests used drums to dispel evil spirits; samurai used taiko to instill fear in the enemy and courage in themselves; peasants used taiko in their prayers for rain, in festivals and in thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest. Sam Jose Taiko has taken the essence and voice of the traditional taiko and infused it with the vitality and freshness of their American spirits to create a dynamic and new compelling art form. They use the power and beauty of the Taiko to transcend cultural barriers and foster greater understanding of Japanese American culture. The resulting sounds are contemporary, exciting, new and innovative, bridging many styles, while still resonant of the Asian soul in America. Traditionally, Taiko was an exclusive male tradition and originally the group consisted primarily of men. But, over time, more women have Vt^ic^release 'Basquiaf stiows Colorful art weald ^ .

When I tell students that on the first day of class, I see them recoil in disbelief. Some seem ready to bolt for the president's office to protest the presence in their classroom of a cold, uncaring faculty member who is not committed to their personal self? development. And then I say it again: "I don't care how you feel. In this class, I care how you think." But, students start to say, "You have to care. You're supposed to care how we feel." Let me explain. It's not that I don't have feelings myself or that I don't care about my feelings or the feelings of others. But I 'm not interested in feelings as a way of knowing and learning history. What I am interested in is understanding how and why people in the past created the world we have today. And I'm interested in what actions we can take to change that world.

If you're feeling adventurous and in the mood for an ephemeral journey into t he world of v isual m etaphor and postmodern graphic design, I highly recommend THE PLACE website. But, be warned, this place is not for the faint of heart, nor for those who use the Internet as a mindless excuse to put off homework and/or abandon the outside world. THE P LACE, l ocated a t h ttp:// gertrude.art.uiuc.edu/ludgate/the/place/ place2.html, is a wonderful example of how art and life can coexist on and through the electronic media. In fact, its purpose is to explore the so-called "information age," and bring to light (and mind) the many, if not infinite ways, we as individuals use and perceive the world around us. Plus, it's simply a cool place to hang out and marvel at the depth and breadth of creator Joseph Squire's imagination and vision. My favorite feature of THE PLACE, is a section called "Urban Diary," where Squire chronicles and dissects the nuances, issues and themes that compel us in everyday life. Using images as metaphors (not similes) he beckons us to follow him through the complexities of his world so that we might come to understand the complexities and banalities or our own. "Urban Diary" is a compilation of images, animate and inanimate, set against the backdrop of graph paper — yeah, the stuff you used in fifth-grade math that lets you make cool three-dimensional boxes and mazes. And, most of the text presented on each page is actually hand-written or typed via typewriter onto the paper background.

Koenig, Ed Thompson, Norma Yuskos, Cheryl Evans, Renee Curry, JoAnne Moraa PRODUCTION SUPPORT West Coast Community Newspapers Last year, at this university based on diversity and understanding, I was insulted because of my beliefs. My ideals were reduced verbally to being ridiculous. So why am I bothered? What should I care about what one indi vidual thinks of me? Well, I didn't walk away because I was in class. And the individual insulting me was the professor. The class topics for the day were sexually transmitted diseases, relationships, AIDS statistics and homosexuality. At one point, the professor asked if anyone disapproved of homosexuality. I have been raised a Christian since birth. And my beliefs are based on the morals and ideals expressed in Biblical scripture. I was the only student in class to raise a hand in answer to the professor's question. And I responded that homosexuality was deemed wrong in several areas of the B ible:! had no qualms in expressing that opinion, since this institution of understanding and shared knowledge prides itself on the fact that it is acceptable to voice beliefs without being looked upon as an ignorant deviant. In my answer to the professor, I did not refer to homosexuals in any derogatory manner. And I did not, and do not, advocate the persecution of homosexuals. But the professor found what I had to say disturbing and questioned whether I was sure the Bible said that homosexuality was wrong. He added that his brother was a homosexual. The professor dedicated his next class to re- futing what I had said. He did extensive research and even brought overhead projector transparencies to class to help illustrate his points. He capped it off by citing examples from the Bible which he said clearly disproved its validity. Finally, he added, "The Bible cannot be taken literally." He did not say this was his opinion. Rather, he stated it as fact. I later learned that he gave this same lecture to other classes. To me, such a statement insults the very core of what I believe in, not to mention also insulting all those who believe in the Bible. It was a terrible thing for a professor to do. Let's say I were to dispute the validity of the Koran, issuing daily flyers calling it barbaric, ignorant and nothing to be taken seriously. Instantly, I would be branded a bigot, and perhaps even kicked off of the university for actions that ran contrary to its mission statement. If I were to send e-mail messages to the Associated Students, Inc., criticizing the choice of a Native American to bless last week's celebration of unity on campus, I certainly would have been called a racist. If I were to set up a booth in Founder's Plaza and pass out literature describing reincarnation and carma as absurd concepts upheld only by backward cultures, at the very least I would be considered ethnocentric. But the professor who insulted my religious beliefs several times in front of dozens of students continues to be viewed as an open-minded, non-biased individual.

I was not even granted the courtesy of a reply declining the offer. One of the most amusing criticisms came from the mother of a student, who said The Pride was not even comparable to the San Diego State Daily Aztec — and that we should be ashamed of t hat After I agreed with her and did a resource comparison for her, (when my boss at the North County Times worked at the Aztec, they had a staff of 10 full-time reporters, making $8 and hour), she quickly recanted her statement. It seems that everyone from students to administrative vice presidents are very quick to pull out the Aztec or the UCSD Guardian and a copy of The Pride with its misspelled headlines (which usually occur as a result of my caffeine induced rage at 2:30 am), sit back, and say "I can't believe this! The Pride is pathetic compared to these papers!" My answer to them is this: you get out of something what is put into it. Our student interest and funding is not even comparable to those papers. We need to grow to the level of the weekly Telescope paper at Palomar before the Daily Aztec, or Guardian, which comes out twice a week But complain about a lack of university money being directed to the student newspaper is pointless. Indeed, we could whine until our lungs shrivel—the campus is simply strapped for cash. Until the students get serious about wanting a good paper, The Pride won't grow. To those pointing those wavering fingers towards The Pride's office with shame: I challenge you to come make this newspaper better.

But because the OK bombing victims were seen as "worthy" victims, the media drools over their deaths. Murder is murder. In both cases, dozens of innocent men, women and children were murdered. So why does the media "obsess" over OK bombing anniversary but not the Waco Massacre? Could it be the media is stupid and simply forgot? Perhaps the government does not want to be reminded of its destruction and murder of a religious group by federal FBI and BATF agents. However, the media loves glorifying dead bureaucrats — those people who live off other people's taxes.

Overnight, he became a success, the darling new enterprise for the vultures of the art world. At the age of 27, he was dead from an overdose of heroin. The movie "Basquiat" is a poignant story about a Haitian/ Puerto Rican/American artist (played by Jeffrey Wright) growing up in New York City.

"It's a real pleasure to see this award given to you for your work," said Gonzalez. "I hope this tradition of quality research will continue on into the future. I would like to recognize not only these students for the quality of their work, but also the colleagues, professors and staff who assisted them." Also attending the small ceremony were Dr. Alan Styles and Flora Aguina of the Academic Senate Office that sponsors the awards and psychology professor Keith The Cesar Chavez celebration was held on April 19, outsijde of the Dome Trujillo, who acted as a faculty and at Chavez Plaza.

The CSU Board of Trustees approved the building project, which will cost $26.8 million. "Everything (that is built) is funded by state issues," explained Carol Bonomo, Associate Vice President of External Affairs. In order for this project to receive funding, it needs to be included in a bond issue ballot for March 2002. According to Bonomo, the entire bond issue ballot will range from " $2 billion to $8 billion." The project must be approved by the state legislature by August 31 of this year in order to be included on the March 2002 bond issue ballot. If it is not approved^ Bonomo said that the University would try again in November. If the legislature passes the bond issue ballot, then the governor will put the project in the budget and construction will begin shortly thereafter. The process from project approval to completion can be lengthy. The Arts and Science buildings, approved in 1998, are still currently in the construction phase. If the bond ballot passes next year, then the building will be scheduled for completion by June 2006. However, this date may be as early as 2004 or 2005.

RYAN SANDAHL Pride Staff Writer "We're hoping to bring different people from all walks of life together to dialogue," said Ruth Bran, a spokesperson and volunteer for Priority Christian Challenge (PCC), a club on campus. PCC hosted a Bible Reading Marathon last week. Students, faculty, and staff were able to sign up for halfhour sessions in which the Bible was read aloud with a goal of reading the Bible from cover to cover by the end of the week. The marathon lasted from seven in the morning to nine o'clock at night each day of the week. "We're not here to throw the word in people's faces like Jeb does,'' Bran said, referring to pastor Jeb Smock who comes each semester to the free speech area and shouts accusations at students. "This is why there are no microphones or speakers set up," Bran explained. "It's'more of a quiet setting where people can come listen and dialogue with one another," she added. There were many reasons why the club decided to put on the Bible Marathon. "No book has sold more copies than the Bmm SEI m Rachel Crouch and Anna Hall were two of the many participants that read the Bible during the weeklong marathon. (Pride Photo/Victoria B. Segall) Bible," Bran explained. "That is why we want to have it read. That and many people don't read the Bible as often or as thoroughly as this." Included in the reading is a Spanish/English version of the Bible so students that speak Spanish could also read if they wished. Bran did much of her reading in Spanish. "I think PCC has good intentions/' said CSUSM student Chris Orman. "I wouldn't have a problem with other religions doing what these guys are doing. It adds to the diversity of the campus." Priority Christian Challenge is different from another d ub on campus known as Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF). Many IVCF members signed up and helped read the Bible during the week. As did many other students throughout the week.

X1 Business Building C oming Soon Bible Readings # # 1 �April Is Sexual Assault Awareness Month By LISA LIPSEY Pride Staff Writer Not many people may be aware that, in 1997, the State of California named April Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Sexual violence can be a hush-hush topic and may get downplayed on some university campuses. At Cal State San Marcos the University Store is the only area on campus posting information. Sexual assault, as defined by the United States National Victim Center, is "any unwanted, indecent sexual conduct by a person towards a man, woman or child, accompanied by the threat of, or the exposure to danger, physr ical suffering or injury, fear, shame, humiliation and mental anguish." InCalifornia there is "a vision to end sexual assault." The California Coalition Against Sexual Assault (CALCASA) is working to "expose the insidiousness of sexual violence, raise public awareness of what the American Medical Association has called a 'silent and violent epidemic,' change public perception of sexual violence and heal this degradation against the human race." From CALCASA's March 2001 report (www.calcasa.orgl lists some interesting statistics about sexual assault: An estimated 302,100 women and 92,700 men are forcibly raped each year in the United States • In the United States, one in three girls and one in five boys is assaulted as a child. The typical child sex offender molests an average of 117 children, most of whom do not report the offense. Sexual abuse is the most under-reported crime in the United States. While the number of cases isn't known, researchers estimate that as few as one in 10 cases is reported to authorities. • . Only 2 percent of rapists are convicted arid imprisoned. • About one in three women and one in eight men is raped after turning 18. . „ San Diego is number two in the state for reported rape occurrences. "In order to stop being victims, we ourselves must take up the struggle against [sexual assault]. Individually and collectively we can break the silence and make it no longer a taboo subject, or something shameful that weighs us down," states Susan Griffith, author o f "Rape: The Politics of Consciousness'' Here are 20 Ways You Can Begin to Stop Sexual Assault from the 1998 California AntiSexist Political Caucus: 1) If you have been a victim of sexual assault either by a stranger, acquaintance or an intimate, know there is help out there. Seek it. 2) Interrupt rape/sexual assault jokes. 3) Women: Take self-defense classes. 4) Recognize that no one asks or deserves to be assaulted ever. 5) Don't blame the victims for the violence perpetrated against them. 6) Know that silence does not equal consent. 7) Take responsibility for your own,sexuality; do not let it be defined by your partner, the media or anyone else. 8) Donate money or time as a ThePPLS Call for APERS The Pride Literary Supplement CALL FOR PAPERS other formats are welcome as long as the paper represents the appropriate academic discipline.

A: "I want to see ASI further student life on campus through the promotion and success of such events as the Spring Fest. I encourage students to attend ASI events and would hope that such events would promote student awareness of ASI, as well as the student life here at CSUSM." Q: What role would you play in implementing your goals and expectations? A: "I would try to implement ASI goals through the responsibilities of the VP of Finance position, I plan on keeping an up-to-date budget, keep the students informed of the budget through the ASI board and to keep track of budgeting success of ASI." Q: Why should the students elect you? A: "I have the experience as undergraduate representative, and through this experience I have a feel for some of the desires of the students, such as the need for increased studenjpfe. I enjoy being a student at CSUSM and hope that the students will recognize my determination, work ethic and desire to serve the student body in the best way I know how."

Ton said that important issues CSUSM students face include a "lack of information and connection in order for them to utilize all the free and helpful resources on campus." He added that these resources include the Career Center, the Writing and Math Centers, EOPS, ASI, ASPIRE, The Pride, financial aid and counselors. Ton recognizes that students negotiate other problems, including an "unexciting campus life" and the need to get more involved in the campus community. Ton said he also thinks that "moderation," in both academics and free time are necessary ingredients in a college environment. In order to make himself available to students, Ton said that he will "have an open door policy when on office hours (like professors on campus do), inform all the students of my school e-mail account, and occasionally have a booth in the quad promoting ASI.

She has worked as ASI corporate secretary for the last year. When asked, "What specific actions would you take to get students more involved in campus life?" Brown responded, "It's important to bring back issues from the C SSA... issues that effect all students in the CSUs. I'd be starting a lobby corps to bring students up to date on political issues. I also think that with anything you want participation in, the biggest thing is advertising." Brown proposed advertising on campus using "open forums in the free speech area, posting, and working on posting policy. For elections they open it up. We've been putting things up in chalk, but it seems like we can't do that for anything else. Regarding student involvement, Brown added, "You can put it all out there, but then it depends on how many students come to you. One challenge is that we don't have a residence hall." Asked, "What have you learned so far, from being involved in ASI, about the position?" Brown replied, "I've gone to probably 50 percent of the CSSA conferences, so I see the whole process. A lobby corps would help as a political committee, to get students involved with issues like tax on text books, to bring that information downfromCSSA through a group of students who could help me spread it around campus. I also have helped with voter registration and the open forum, when we brought local candidates on campus before last election." Brown is a biology major.

Sifting through the nightclub life, laden with alcohol and druginduced delirium, Clint Eastwood creates an account focused on the character of Charlie Parker in "Bird." Admission to "Bird," the second piece in CSUSM's Art's and Lectures Film Series, was free, but only about 30 people showed up. Touching only certain historical aspects of the Bebop era, the film showcases more of the music created by Parker (played by Forest Whitaker). Bouncing between scenes of heroin-induced mayhem and improvisational jazz, Whitaker does a great job getting into character for this tough roll. The film highlights the last few years of Parker's life and how he neglected to care for himself, leading to his demise. When he died, the coroner estimated his age to be 65, but he was actually 34. "Don't ever let them take me back to Kansas City," said Parker, who moved away from his roots and created his own completely fresh style of music. Known for changing the face of jazz forever, the Bird added eighth notes in his melodies, giving bebop flavor to old favorites and eventually creating an entirely new sound. The bebop musicians played so fast and had so many rhythm changes that listeners sometimes complained they couldn't dance to the new sound. Touring through Harlem, Chicago, Hollywood, the southern states and Paris, Parker didn't listen to the criticism and was dedicated to finding an audience and ways to make money by playing his horn. Relatively unsuccessful in gaining monetary success, the Bird was able to eventually turn heads and one scene showed fans in Paris raining down roses as he ended a performance. Although technology in the 1940s was not what it is today, sound enhancements allowed the true recordings to be used for the soundtrack, and this accented what the film focused on: the music of Charlie Parker and this father of bebop. Clint Eastwood got together with Chan Parker, Charlie's fourth wife, and found many of Parker's live recordings. They weren't very clear but by using digital sound equipment, Eastwood and Parker were able to find some recordings never before released that add to the true beauty of the Bird's live improvisation abilities, matching the dark nightclub scenes that saturate the film, One recurring image in the film is a single drum cymbal floating through the air used to bridge different scenes. The cym- at again. Two important men in Parker's life as told in the story are Dizzy Gillespie (played by Samuel E. Wright) and Red Rodney (played by Michael Zelniker). Gillespie, also know for his contributions to bebop, portrays the success that Parker was never able to obtain. In the film, you find the love the two had for each other, but they end up taking different paths. Gillespie leads a successful big band in an overt attempt to prove the masses wrong about the new sound, while Parker's irresponsibility leads him to always being broke, late and in the mist of drug disorientation. Parker befriends Red Rodney while in L.A., where Red finds Parker sitting on a trashcan shooting up heroin preparing for a gig. The two end up teaming up later in the movie for a colorful tour of the South, marking one of the only bright tours in the film. In this part, it shows not only segregation at nightclubs of rural areas, but the group having fun as they successfully perform, drawing at times dancing crowds of over 500. If you are looking for a 1940's jazz history lesson, then you Charlie Packer plays sax in early 1940's might be left wondering, but if (Courtesy photo: Charlieparker.com) you want to see a true fan's turn at an open improv night laughter.

Ramone, often hailed as the father of punk rock, was hospitalized last month with lymphatic cancer, which he'd been fighting for years. Born Jeffrey Hyman, Ramone started playing in garage bands in New Yorkhe quickly put aside drumming to front for the Ramones, whose four members all adopted the same last name. The band burst on the scene in a musical era quickly growing stagnant. Ramone called 70s rock "a hodgepodge of Pink Floyd and Emerson, Lake, and Palmer and all that. [We] stripped it right down to bone, and we disassembled it and reassembled it and put all the raw energy and raw emotion and guts and attitude back into it." They put attitude and energy back into a flagging scene and are credited with the subsequent explosion of the British punk music scene in 1976. After spending only two days and $6,000 on their debut album, The Ramones, the band toured in England in 1977, and its early music provided a veritable breeding ground for bands like The Clash and The Sex Pistols to take off from. Their simple, three-chord melodies and high-energy, garage rock sound never propelled them into the Top 40, but it did establish them as "the daddy punk group of all time," according to Joe Strummer of The Clash, who paid homage to The Ramones in a recent interview with Spin magazine. Album cover shows their easy going punk rock style. Joey R. (3rdfrom left), died ofcancer April 15. (Courtesy Photo/Geesonweb site) Their first single, "Bliztkrieg Bop" paved the way for 21 albums, 14 of which were studio-produced efforts by renowned producer Phil Spector. 1979's effort, End ofthe Century,; was their bestselling album, and while the band only climbed as high as 44 on the charts, their remake of "Baby, I Love You" made it into the top 10 in Britain. Despite the lack of commercial success, The Ramones. remained beloved in the hearts of fans in both the United States and Britain for more than 22 years. The band members' blend of leather, denim, sunglasses and sneakers rendered them recognizable anywhere, along with characteristically short, thumping singles like "I Wanna Be Sedated," "Sheila is a Punk Rocker" and "Beat on the Brat." Ramones Mania, the band's 1988 compilation album, quite possibly holds the record for most songs on one album, casing 30 of their most popular. The Ramones retired in 1996 with a farewell performance on the Lollapalooza tour and a final performance in Toronto in 1997. Joey Ramone spent nearly half of his life performing, and those of us who were lucky enough to catch The Ramones, live hold a ticket stub somewhere reminding us that we were privy to something groundbreaking. Joey Ramone will be missed. drummer took off a cymbal and threw it at the feet of Parker, gouging him off the stage. The young musician was humiliated and the entire audience broke into No Cash?

"I was already falling off of the edge of my seat and five minutes of the movie hadn't even passed." If you enjoy MTV's "The Tom Green Show," then your stomach will definitely be hurting after you see "Freddy Got Fingered." Green, director, co-writer, and star of this new motion picture, brings his outrageous antics to the big screen once again as he plays Gord Brady, a 28-year-old who dreams of being an animation artist. I have to admit this isn't the greatest movie, but there is unquestionably no other movie like this out there. If you've followed Tom Green's work, then you'd know what to expect from this madman. However, for those of you who haven't, let me warn you that this film will keep you on your toes due to Green's sexual and bizarre humor. When Brady leaves his hometown of Portland, Oregon in the attempt of fulfilling his fantasies in Los Angeles, his parents couldn't have been more ecstatic that their son was finally leaving home. As result of a poor evaluation of his talent, however, Brady gives up and runs back home to Portland. His lack of inspiration causes his father to try to force him to move out in order to find a job, but Brady retaliates by provoking a father-son feud. With this storyline, "Freddy Got Fingered" puts a twist on the concept of father-son relationships as well as providing the audience with the moral issue of "not giving up." My only issue was that the movie didn't really make any sense. "Freddy Got Fingered," nevertheless, is a movie that I recommend and should not be overlooked, just find someone to go with and be prepared to laugh like you've never laughed before. Tom Green's antics are definitely worth the money. I t ' s e a s y to m a t e a c h i l d s m i l e .

The problem is not with the student leaders getting involved, but that they are the ONLY ONES getting involved. This campus needs MORE student involvement in order to improve our campus climate. S ^ o, why is this happening? What is wrong with us? Do we, as students, really just not care? Well, the lack of attendance could easily prove that, yet enough students complain about having nothing to do, so they obviously do care. So, why are students not showing up? Let's look at the possible reasons: The off-campus events are easy to explain. They are not at a convenient location to just drop in. Lack of advertising could explain it, but most clubs and organizations have flyers, billboards, signs, and some, not all, clubs send their club meeting and event dates, to The Pride for the Calendar section. out of class.

A large amount of the budget goes toward employee salaries, an observation that does not reflect negatively upon the work of our employees, rather exemplifies a fiscal policy in need of reform. As an ASI "shareholder," I would like to make the following recommendations for next year's budget: Problem: CSUSM students do not know how their money is being spent. Recommendation : Videotape the ASI meetings when the budget is proposed so that every student can see how their representatives are allocating their money and how their representatives voted. Also, post the budget in the recreation center where all the students can see it. Problem: Half the $860,000 budget went toward employee salaries, benefits, payroll taxes, and university fees. Recommendation: Pass legislation restricting that amount to no more than 35% of the annual budget. Enact a 10-year mora- t n r i n m o n p mnlnvpp r aises a nd benefits, retaining the employees we have now but letting them know that they won't be getting a raise anytime soon. Work with the university about eliminating excessive fees. Problem: The CSUSM Early Learning Center gets almost no support from the university. Last year, Betsy Gibbs of Cal Letter to the Editor State Fullerton conducted a survey of twenty CSU Child Care Facilities. Nineteen CSU's contributed an average of $56,000 to their respective childcare programs. According to the survey, CSUSM was the only school that did not contribute any money directly toward its daycare center. Recommendation: Insist that the administration support our day care facility and return that amount to the students. The "extra" money would,help offset the $160,000 loss the 4 F a r l v L e a r n i n & C e n t e r e xneri ences annually. Problem: Restrict discretionary spending. Example: The Early Learning Center shows it spends $1,000 on advertising, but we never see any advertisements in the campus newspaper. That Money probably went toward administrative supplies, but the ASI budget has that category listed with a separate amount. Recommendation: Design a budget that restricts this type of spending. Problem: Only $25,000 of the $860,000 budget (less than 3%) is allocated toward supporting club activities. Recommendation: Increase that amount to entice more club participation. Finally, as a show of good faith, the ASI Board of Directors could vote themselves a 10% decrease in their scholarships. They would return the combined savings of that money (approximately $3,300) to the students. Steve Compian Literature and Writing Studies D rama at t he C omputer L ab By CLAY BABER Pride Staff Writer As I . walked to my seat in the open access computer lab in Academic Hall, I began to realize that in the time it took me to print a copy of my midterm project, my computer space had been invaded by a group of students who were huddled around the computer next to mine. At first I didn't think anything of it. I figured that a simple "Excuse me" would do the trick, and I would have my own space back. As I approached the pack of bodies clustered around my station, I noticed that not only did I no longer have a chair, but the mouse and keyboard of my computer were practically buried under a pile of backpacks and binders. One of these backpacks happened to be conveniently placed on the right hand side of the keyboard so that my midterm project was now concluded with seven pages of 2's 3's and 6's. Naturally I assumed that the whole situation was an accident, and that these invaders would certainly understand my position when I asked them to move their belongings and their bodies out of my space. Once I shouted over them to get their attention, I got a response, but not exactly what I expected. When I asked them to please move their stuff and relinquish my chair, they looked at me like I was an idiot. I received no apology, and I was looked upon as if I was the one causing a problem. The "chair t hief' actually asked me to find him another seat. I thought to myself, "Remain calm. Some people just can't help being stupid." Not once did I raise my voice, nor did I make a scene, although I had every right to. Instead I spoke politely and maintained my composure so that I did not "sink to their level," so to speak. After a short deliberation, I got my chair back, but now the mound of backpacks that was originally on top of my keyboard was piled on the floor at my feet. So there I sat, sidesaddle in my chair trying to create a reference page for my project, while the swarm of students carried on at a noise level that made it impossible to concentrate on anything. I am not quite sure what they were doing on the computer, but they were glued to the screen like a group of eight-year-old boys looking at a dirty magazine. Who knows, but perhaps I was interrupting some type of substantial bonding moment for these individuals. Maybe they were just blatantly rude. Whatever the case, I was amazed at the lack of respect for others that they exhibited. I realize this particular lab is not designated a "quiet" lab, and that these students had as much of a right to be there as I did. What they do not have, however, is the right to disrupt others who are minding their own business, working intently on important school projects. We are all here to learn the skills necessary to succeed in life, yet some of us seem to lack the basic "people skills needed to interact with others on campus. Like it or not, we all have to work together here, so how about brushing up on your common courtesy guidelines. We all will benefit. My intent in sharing this episode is not to point a finger at anyone in particular, but instead it is to open someone's eyes to their irrational behavior. I hold no grudges, nor do I seek any type of revenge for the actions of these students. My only hope is that these, individuals now realize how their actions affect others, and that perhaps they will begin to show respect and courtesy towards their fellow students.

The wind, blowing out k of the south, only affected the turns on the track, CSUSM's Camille. Wilborn, Katherine Nibblett, Felisha Mariscal and "Luci Downey competed in the 800-meter relay. Wilborn passed the baton to Niblett who had been sick the night before and had a fever that morning. Nibblett gave the baton to Mariscal, who, with no time to lose, ran an excellent race, handing the baton to Downey, a 400-meter runner with no experience in the 800-meter. Downey ran the 800-meter in 2:22. Overall, the women ran a time of 9:33.2 (qualifying mark 9:40). "This was our last opportunity to reach the qualifying times, and although I thought we were not going to make the qualifying mark, we crushed it," said Coach Scott: The women's 4x800 relay team said they were very surprised and happy with their performances and that they reached their personal best. "It was very exciting for all of us," said Wilborn. The men's 1,500-meter featured Marcus Chandler (4:01.3) and Mike Manzano (4:02.8), who took first and second place, and Mike Shannon who came in fourth place (4:06.2).

Haynes opened the forum by saying, "We're obviously all here today as a university community coming together to share our grief, our concerns of personal safety, and ask questions as we go forward. . ." President Haynes continued by saying, "I'm sure many of yoù in our campus community have personal connections to Virginia Tech, and so it brings another dimension for you ; to this conversation. I was asked just now by the press, whether this was our first or our last step in this conversation; I'm sure that there will be many steps, public, formal, personal and private as we continue to think through the implications. One other public step that we will take as a university is to contribute to the Hokies Memorial Fund that will help for counseling and other services to the victims and their families." Assembled in the f ront of the room was as a panel of campus resources to offer information and answer questions.

Today is not any different than the rest to Marjorie Mina. As she makes her rounds through the store, she asks her clients how they are doing and if they may need any assistance. Her clients though, are not customers of Wal-Mart; they are Wal-Mart employees who have developmental disabilities. As a job coach for Community Interface Services of Carlsbad, Mina works with eight higher functioning adults. In Mina's case, four out of eight of her clients work at WalMart and have overlapping hours so Mina makes her rounds and works one on one with her clients during their shifts. As a job coach, Mina works under Community Interface's Supportive Employment program. Mina began working with CIS after she graduated from CSUSM in 2004 as a Human Development major. In the three years that she has been working for CIS, Mina has learned that her clients are excited to have a job. "We help them be a part of the community," Mina said. "If they take a bus to work, we teach them what to do if they get lost, or what happens when there's a disaster at work." When Mina started working with her client Chris Deddo, she learned that whenever Deddo was faced with a question from a customer to which he did not know the answer, he would walk away. Mina would then interfere and show Deddo that he could ask another associate for help. What Mina says she enjoys the most is, "I can watch them grow." Job Coaches at CIS work with clients who work at Pet Smart, Noah's Ark Learning Center, Wild Animal Park and Target among other employers. Two other major departments of CIS include Supportive Living and Independent Living. In 1991 when Kim Larsen graduated from CSUSM as a Business Major, she was quickly promoted to associate director. Bruce Willbrant, another alumnus of CSUSM, was not sure where he would live after graduation when he found a classifieds ad for Community Interface's Supportive Living department. In the Supportive Living department, employees live with a roommate who has a developmental disability. Willbrant thought, "I'd get paid and I'd have a place to live." Today Willbrant assists his clients as an Independent Living Supervisor. Willbrant .

Chief Hackenberg responded: "We have plans in place. We have the ability to lock down areas on campus from dispatch that would help to isolate any kind of shooter activity. We also have a system where we can communicate through our classrooms under times of duress that will also be helpful in letting people know exactly what the situation is at the time." Dean Manship also explained to the audience that there is a system being finalized this very moment that would allow the university to send text messages to students in case of an oncampus emergency or life-threatening situation. Another main point emphasized in the forum was that of mental health care, and Carlene Smith addressed that, ensuring students that there are services available at SHCS for students to take advantage of. In hopes to reach the rest of the student body, Hackenberg said, "We have a very safe campus here; that's both by perception and statistics bear that out, and we always need to keep that in mind. We want students to be very aware of any rumors, possibilities, possessions of a weapon on campus, or anyone who might be planning these types of things. We just want to encourage them to report those things to the police department." For more information visit http:// www.csusm.edu/police/Bulletins.htm ; pili ^ B ^ P S P - ^ ^ ^ B •: I 1 included: Roy Lee (President of ASI), Dean Manship (Emergency Management Coordinator), Regina Frasca (Director of Risk Management and Safety), Carlene Smith (a psychologist from SHCS), CSUSM Police Chief Ronald Hackenberg, Dr. Pat Worden (Vice President for Student Affairs), CSUSM President Karen S. Haynes, and Gregory Toya (Associate Dean of Students) and a few other representatives from campus organizations. The central focus was to first remember and honor the Virginia Tech tragedy and to second address the campus community about our own safety precautions in place and how they are being practiced and improved. In addition to offering a safe environment for an open discussion to inquiring students and staff, the forum also hosted a guest speaker, an alumnus from Virginia Tech affiliated with the San Diego chapter of Virginia Tech Alumni. She shared a poignant testimony about her experience at Virginia Tech and how the tragedy had impacted her and her family's life, as her younger brother currently attends Virginia Tech. After the guest speaker, Gregory Toya opened up the floor for the audience to ask questions. The first question asked addressed what plans CSUSM has in place "ft: ' ^ plans his clients' budget and assists them in finding and purchasing affordable housing. When speaking of helping clients attain jobs, Larsen said, "Our goal is to help them become more independent. So we may start out 100% there, at the orientation, interview, and then when they get the hang of it, we'll start fading out." Willbrant found his education at CSUSM to be extremely helpful. "The thing about San Marcos is that they have this unique major, Human Development, which is ideal, along with sociology and psychology." Denise Sumlin a graduated as Liberal Studies and Sociology double major with a focus in Child Development. As an Independent Living Counselor, Sumlin says she helps maintain independence. An Independent Living Counselor may assist clients in daily living such accessing community resources or gaining social skills. Sumlin added, "At school, it's all about the books. It's test after test. Here, it's nothing but hands on. It all comes back to you. I thought, I will never use this again in my life! But I am putting a lot of it to good use. You do get a chance to use some of that." Christine Sheppard, Supported Employment Supervisor, finds that the employees at CIS enjoy coming to work each day. Sheppard said, "They are highly dedicated to the service recipients and they have the ability to cooperate and work well with others." Shannon Foster works as a Resource Counselor. In 2000, she graduated from CSUSM as a double major in Psychology and Sociology. She spends her days in the community with her clients. On Mondays, she works out with her clients at the YMCA, and on certain Fridays, she takes her clients to the mall for some shopping. Foster assists her clients in their work and social skills. "We learn what their dreams are then we help to accomplish their goals," Foster said. Sally Serrin, a current student of CSUSM decided to work at CIS in order to fulfill an internship requirement for her Sociology course. Serrin says that she's been able to help where it's needed. Since Serrin began working at Community Interface, she has gained experience with doing research for the company, working with clients and completing market audit reports among other things. "Everybody here is so positive," Serrin said, "with a good attitude about a lot of things." From RECYCLEMANIA, page 1 and San Diego State University were amongst the 201 universities in the competition. CSUSM first entered the competition in 2005 and placed first in Recycling Rate with a rate of 44 percent. The Recycling Rate category compares the weight of recyclables to the weigh of trash. In 2006, CSUSM won the Grand Champion award, placed second in the Per Capita Classic, and finished first in the Targeted Material - Corrugated Cardboard category. Campuses that fall into the Grand Champion category demonstrate an excellence in recycling and reducing waste throughout the entire competition. The Per Capita Classic compares the amount of recyclables to the number of students in a given campus. The Targeted Material - Corrugated Cardboard category compares the amount of recycled corrugated cardboard to the number of students in a given campus. For the 2007 contest, CSUSM brought home another first place victory in the Grand Champion category. CSUSM also placed second in the Targeted Material - Corrugated Cardboard category. A recycling culture throbs throughout CSUSM's campus. Cougars consistently recycle spent products in easily accessible bins. "I recycle every single thing and I make sure it goes in the right recycle bin," said Liberal Studies Major Senior DeLacy Brown. "I can be standing anywhere and turn around and find a recycling bin." "It feels good that my school has won the RecycleMania competition three times in a row. It's really cool that our school which is in southern California cares that much about the environment," said Arts and Technology Major Freshmen Jake Gossett. "Recycling is about giving back to the community. Given the fact that Cal State San Marcos has won three years in a row giving back to the community has been a major priority to us," said Psychology Major Senior Logan Goolsby. "It makes me glad to go to a school where students take the extra time to use the blue bins for recycling. It would feel weird not to recycle because the bins are everywhere," said Liberal Studies Major junior Jenny Bigpond. The contestants for next year's competition will most likely grow in number. Previous contenders will sharpen their recycling skills. However, given the current trends, Cougars have a bright f uture and foreseeable victory in the RecycleMania 2008 competition.

The competition was stiff, but Justin and Sandy devoured their way through huge pieces of watermelon and won the preliminary rounds. Rossiter and Betancourt battled against each other for the championship. Grunting and growling, Rossiter ripped red chunks of watermelon from its green rind while Betancourt trailed close behind. The crowd cheered in favor of Betancourt, but Rossiter gulped his way to the championship. Students at the event also took part in signing a large red poster, among others, that students will send to Virginia Tech. The poster reads, "Our deepest sympathies to Virginia Tech from the students of Cal State San Marcos. Other posters read, "CSUSM honors Virginia Tech." Sara Gallegos stated, "The final event that they will be at is the Wellness Fair on Tuesday the 24th in the Field House. A fter that we are going to mail the posters to Virginia Tech." Satterfield said, "My overall reaction was that it was a success. We got exactly 100 signatures for our budget letters, which is great! The contest and event was a huge success and I couldn't have been happier with the result." �FEATURES Down to Earth: A green day on a green campus Tuesday; April 24, 2007 THE PRIDE BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer Sunday, April 22, was Earth Day. On this special day designed to promote environmental awareness, millions across the nation joined in celebration of Mother Earth. While some people renewed their commitment to reduce, recycle and reuse, others raised money to f und other environmental causes. Historically, it was the concern of Senator Gaylord Nelson, a Democrat from Wisconsin that sparked our country's environmental awareness. He founded the first Earth Day in 1970 after trying to bring environmental awareness to the American population since 1962. On envirolink.org, Nelson said, "Earth Day worked because of the spontaneous response at the grassroots level. We had neither the time nor resources to organize 20 million demonstrators and the thousands of schools and local communities that participated. That was the remarkable thing about Earth Day. It organized itself." America celebrates Earth Day on April 22. This day is also the birthday of Eddie Albert, a former American television star and environmental activist; it also happens to be the birthday of Julius Stirling Morton, the founder of Arbor Day. According to the U.S. government's web site on Earth Day (earthday.gov), the United States is much better off than it was in 1970. The air is cleaner, the loss of wetlands is being reversed, and other important environmental legislation continues to improve conditions. Though things may be looking up, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently reported with 100 percent confidence that global warming is happening, and with 90 percent confidence that it is because of human interference. The IPCC is a panel of scientists from different countries and works closely with the United Nations. Since the report, the United States Congress has been discussing new environmental legislation that would significantly cut down on the production of greenhouse gases. Meanwhile, there are many things that people can do to help save our planet. The government's Earth Day site suggests saving energy by making homes more efficient, turning off appliances and lights when not in use, purchasing "green power" for the electricity of houses, insulating homes, driving less, and replacing incandescent light bulbs with Energy Star qualified compact fluorescent light bulbs. The site also suggests several ways to use less water. It urges people to use WaterSense labeled products and programs. These products, " will p erform well, help save money, and encourage innovation in manufacturing." (See http://www. e pa.gov/watersense/index.htm for more information on WaterSense.) The site also says to not to let water r un while shaving or brushing teeth, to take short showers instead of baths, to scrape rather than rinse dishes before loading into dishwasher, and to only wash f ull loads of dishes and laundry. It also recommends buying high efficient plumbing fixtures, repairing leaks (one leaky toilet can waste as much as 200 gallons of water every day), and watering lawns and plants during the coolest p art of the day. Another way to celebrate Earth is by using the three R's: reduce, reuse and recycle. To reduce, people should consider buying permanent items instead of disposables, buying products with less packaging, and only «J buying what they need. Reusing is as simple as repairing items as much as possible, using cloth napkins, and reusing boxes, purchasing and reusing refillable pens and pencils, and donating extra things to other people or charities. Recycling is the third component. Many things can be recycled—paper, plastic, bottles, cardboard, aluminum; but, other things can and should be recycled such as electronics, motor oil, printer cartridges, and even compost food scraps, grass and other yard clippings. Cal State San Marcos is particularly earth conscious—our university recently won RecycleMania for the third year in a row by recycling over 59% of all that we throw away. This season, be more environmentally conscious and make environmental resolutions that will save money and our earth. As Captain Planet always says, "The power is yours!" Honoring CSUSM's semi-annual Yellow Ribbon Week BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death annually in the United States and is the 2nd leading cause of death among college-aged students (according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention). The American- Association of Suicidology states that about every 16 minutes, a person in the U.S. takes their own life, and every 39 seconds a person in the U.S. attempts to take their own life. In 2004, the most recent complete data statistics, there were roughly 811,000 suicide attempts, and a total 32,439 suicides. With approximately 80 Americans taking their life each day and nearly 1,500 more Americans attempting to do so, there has got to be an underlying cause for such high statistics, as well as something everyone can do to help. Fortunately for CSUSM students, and the greater San Diego community, there is something that can be done and a way to help. As it has been on campus since the spring of 2003, CSUSM has its very own Yellow Ribbon Club, which is connected with a larger organization: Light for Life. Chris Sanchez, President of the Yellow Ribbon Club on campus, encourages students to not only become more aware about suicide and its warning signs, but also to participate in the upcoming Yellow Ribbon Week happening on campus April 30-May 2. With multiple events happen- ing on campus for the upcoming Yellow Ribbon Week, Sanchez hopes to educate his peers about the Yellow Ribbon Campaign, the Light for Life Foundation and the Yellow Ribbon Cards that are available at the events and online at www.yellowribbon.org. To kick-off the approaching Yellow Ribbon Week at CSUSM, the Yellow Ribbon Club is hosting its first shoe drive. The shoe drive aims to collect donated shoes from students for a display to appear in front ofLibrary Plaza during Yellow Ribbon Week. A fter the completion of Yellow Ribbon Week, the donated shoes will then be donated to a local charity. The shoe drive will continue through Friday, April 27, and the collections areas are at the ASI Women's Center in FCB 102 and in front of Student Life and Leadership in Craven 3400. "We're going to be having what's now become our semiannual yellow ribbon week where we go out there and we want to encourage students to come see this video we show called 'The Truth about Suicide.' 'The Truth about Suicide' is a video put on by the America Foundation for Suicide, the AFSP. And what they have done is created this video that outlines a lot of the symptoms of depression, suicide and they bring the perspective from real life people who have either attempted to take their life, or who have had friends who have. It is very emotional and I think it's very a ffective," said Sanchez. The majority of the events happening during Yellow Ribbon Week will take place on Monday, April 30, and Tuesday, May 1, during University Hour in the Library Plaza. There will also be two screenings of "The Truth about Suicide" Wednesday, May 2, one during University Hour in Markstein Hall 107 and the second at 5 p.m. in The Clarke Field House.

BY ALISON AFFLECK Pride Staff Writer Paris did not earn the prestigious title of "most visited place in the world" f or nothing; it really is nothing short of spectacular. I picked the less touristy o ff season to visit, and although I did not get to personally witness the typical ' Eiffel tower postcard' view, replete with flowers and lavish greenery, I did get to see the city covered in a f resh layer of snow—a real bonus in my view. It is hard to know where to begin in a city such as Paris, but I suppose a good starting point is a good hotel or hostel location. I decided to stay on the l eft bank of the Seine in a simple and oddly decorated hotel that boasted a less than five minute walk to the E iffel Tower. Indeed the tiny hotel was - very inventively' called 'La Tour E iffel.' An added bonu%to th% hotel was its proximity,, to the métro, which in my opinion is something that a visitor to Paris should pick as a priority when selecting a hotel; you < will «pend a great* deal-of time cruising the odoriferous, bustling lines and it really is a great way to get a feel for the local life. Needless to say, it is advisable to take advantage of the ' Paris Visite' travel cards that o ffer unlimited use of the métro and buses within a specified t ime period. D uring my stay in Paris, I did not adhere to a rigid schedule; instead I picked an area of interest and wandered around seeing what grabbed my fancy. Although I wanted to see all the usual suspects, I planned to spend a great deal of time in the local eateries and coffee shops. Navigating around the l eft bank in the gently falling snow, I visited ' L 'Hôtel des Invalides'—a huge construction orchestrated by Louis X IV t o house wounded soldiers. Les Invalides i s v ery easy to spot due to its unmistakable gold dome. However, the luxury does not end there—wait till you see Napoléon's massive red sarcophagus housed inside the Eglise du Dôme and the amazing array of weaponry housed in the Musée de L'armée. A gentle stroll along the bank of the lazily flowing river Seine later, and I found myself exploring Notre Dame and Sainte Chapelle in the Isle de la Cité; the old historical heart of Paris. Notre Dame is incredible with its huge domed roof enveloping the wonderful scent that all ancient buildings have: that of sweet earth and centuries of candle burning. The Cathedral façade itself is amazing, as are the famous cheeky gargoyles that line the panorama o fParis. Of course the view requires a long walk up the many flights of stairs, but it is well worth it. As I crossed over the Seine via the famous Pont Neuf ('New Bridge'), I was tempted to pay a visit to the Louvre, t hankfully I decided against it. To f ully appreciate the cornucopia of a rtifacts stashed within the Louvre, or the converted train station that is the Musée d'Orsay, I definitely recommend devoting the better part of a day to really submerse oneself. Of course, in addition to the more familiar, Paris has many other exhibits for the discerning art lover to wander around; indeed there is j ust so much to see in the whole city. Climb the Arc de Triomphe and gaze down the sparkling Champs Elysées; For shopping, visit the b eautiful 'Art Nouveau' Galleries Lafayette or take the métro to the Abbesses stop and stroll the narrow streets of Montmartre; here you will also find the old white church Sacré Coeur, the two remaining Moulins (windmills) of Paris and of course the nearby red light district of Pigali which contains the famous Moulin Rouge—just be ready to pay about $100 to see the show!

NAIA Track and Field Ail-Americans. 2007 Men's Track team Padres update BY JEREMY ALBERS Pride Staff Writer The major league baseball schedule has been a bit strange early on. Week three of the Padres schedule saw them play consecutivetwo-game series, first in Chicago t& face-the'Gubsv then b ackhome t omeet the A rizona Diamondbacks. It is unusual t o take on an opponent f or a two game set. Series are generally three games and sometimes four. The shortened series l eft the Padres t o rack u p f requent flier miles in a hurry. A fter leaving L.A., dropping two of t hree to the Dodgers, the padres flew to the windy city for two days and back t o the west coast for two against the D-backs. Then they flew to Coors field in Colorado t o resume a more fashionable three-game series against the Rockies. The Padres have played eight days in a row of a ten day stint without a break. Since the Friday the 13th stomping at Los Angeles the Friars have gone 4-3 to stand at 10 w ins and 7 losses through April 20. Saturday, April 14 was another gem thrown by Padres ace right-hander Jake Peavy. O r^e again Peavy was dealing, giving u p only one r un on three hits in seven innings. He improved h is record to 5 -0 in h is last six outings against the rival Dodgers. T he p erformance was large since the Padres were blitzed 9-1 the night before. The o ffense was provided by B rian Giles, who homered and drove in two, and new 3B Kevin Kouzriianoff who hit his first home r un as a Padre in the f ourth i nning o ff Dodger pitcher Jason Schmidt. The following day Chavez Ravine proved a tough place t o play as the Padres dropped the series by losing. Left-hander Randy Wolf was staked to t hree r uns early and went on to beat Padres and Chris Young 9-3. The Sunday night game was seen on ESPN and highlighted by the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking t he color barrier in MLB. Robinson played for the Dodgers while they were still in Brooklyn and was elected t o the Hall of Fame in 1962. Traveling to Chicago t o play t he Cubs for two games seemed simple enough. The Padres were 7-0 against the Cubs last year but spent huge dollars in the f ree agent market to upgrade their squad. In game one, Padres pitcher Clay Hensley continued h is struggles and the Friars lost 12-4. The Cubs hit three home rims while the Padres hit one; a ninth inning t hree-run shot by Marcus Giles. In game two, Greg Maddux took the hill in his old stomping grounds, Maddux had twotours in Chicago pitching a total of 10 years at Wrigley Field. Maddux pitched well, giving u p three r uns in five innings and keeping the Padres in it. There was not a r un scored by either team f rom the fifth through the fourteenth when G eoff Blum poked a double that scooted under Cubs LF Jacque Jones (San Diego High) glove allowing Khalil Greene to score the game winning r un. Trevor H offman closed the door on the series with his third save of the season in the bottom of the fourteenth. The travel-weary Padres came home for two against the Diamondbacks hoping t o rest the bullpen. L efty David Wells (Point Loma High) matched u p with last year's Cy Young award winner Brandon Webb. The Padres had opportunities early but failed to capitalize and Webb went on to set a career high by striking out 13. Wells pitched great, giving u p t hree hits and a walk in seven innings. A 2-2 lasted till the t welfth when the D backs scored three r uns o ff Mike Thompson. The pitching staff was taxed a fter the two games and 26 innings sandwiching a flight f rom Chicago to San Diego. Jake Peavy took the mound in game two of the series and dominated with his arm and his bat. Peavy hit a two r un triple in the third inning to highlight seven early Padres r uns and celebrate his third win of the year, winning 11-6. SS Khalil Greene and C Rob Bowen hit home r uns in the seventh inning to extend the lead a fter the Diamondbacks had battled back to make it a two r un game. A series in Colorado kicked off with an overpowering performance by Chris Young of the Padres. He simply mowed through the Rockies lineup allowing one r un on f our hits while fanning seven in his seven innings of work. IB Adrian Gonzalez continued to lead the Padres offense by swatting a 447 foot bomb to right center. The Padres won 11-1 in the s eries opener. ¡ ¡¡¡il tHrV•^mmf i tv r i ri M Má i m; m m m ^ 2007 Women's Track team Phetos courtesy of CSUSM Athletics SOLARIUMS :_ -" - v - fflffl&E&m&m San «tercos W f e s t í m s t í W B h i .s b www.iTanSanDiego. mrn^^rnm^ •dahl'QfSÎ �Jock Talk With Josh: NBA picks revisited BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer Back on October 31, five scary looking guys appeared in this column. Their names were Fernando Brown, Paul Baimbridge, Mike Millburn, Kyle Trembley, and Josh Sandoval. Their mission: to predict what was going to happen in the 2006-2007 NBA season. Now that the NBA season has concluded, and the playoffs are underway I figured this was the time to look back on those predictions and talk a little bit about the post-season. The N ostradamus . award goes t o Paul for predicting the Toronto Raptors as the Most Improved Team. W hen he sent that pick to me I accused h im of being d runk. I feel safe saying that Paul is the only p erson in the world who thought t he R aptors would b e good. The t eam n orth of the border is t he No. 3 seed in the E astern C onference f acing the No. 6 seeded New Jersey Nets. The Captain Obvious award goes to Mike for predicting t he New York Knicks as the Most Disappointing Team. Even though Mike was the only one of u s to predict the 33-49 season, I still have t o tease h im about the ease of that pick. The Take Back award goes to Fernando for picking the Clippers to go to the Western Conference finals. The C lip Show finishes two games back of the Golden State Warriors for the final spot in the playoffs. The Most Likely to Happen award also goes to Fernando, since he did predict the Suns to beat the Pistons in the NBA Championship. The Pistons are the No. 1 seed in the East and the Suns are the No. 2 seed in the West. The Overzealous award goes to me for picking the New Jersey Nets over the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Championship. The Nets have a lot of talent with Jason Kidd, Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson, but only finished 41-41 whereas the Mavericks had the best record in the NBA this season at 67-15. The Mike and Mike award goes t o Mike for picking Cleveland Cavaliers coach Mike Brown as the N BA Coach of the Year. The Cavaliers finished with the same record of 50-32 that they had the previous season, but they went i rr kJB mS ' Wh' 1 Write l lllï KMjyi ^ f rom 14 games back and the No. 4 seed to only three games back and the No. 2 seed this season. I still t hink Mike only picked Mike because they share the same first name. The Should Happen But Won't award will be split in half with one half going to Paul and one half going to me for picking Kobe Bryant as the regular season MVP. Kobe's supporting cast, or lack there-of, fell apart this season. Lamar Odom, Luke Walton, Chris M ihm, and Kwame Brown all missed time due to injuries and Kobe still got the Lakers into the playoffs. The Joey Crawford Hater award goes t o Kyle because Kyle made a lot of his picks revolving around the Spurs. NBA referee Joey Crawford threw Duncan out of a game towards the end of the season because Duncan was laughing on the bench. Crawford then threatened D uncan to a fight. NBA commissioner David Stern suspended Crawford and r umor is that Crawford's career may b e over. Duncan, meanwhile is worried that Crawford's cronies in the NBA ref society are going to punish his Spurs team. Kyle had the Spurs beating the Mavericks in the Western Finals and then the Heat in the N BA Championship and had D uncan w inning the MVP. Ifyou're keeping score at home, the final award is: Kyle - 1, Paul - 1.5, Me - 1.5, Fernando - 2, Mike-2. Now for my revised N BA playoff picks. The Suns will beat the Pistons in the N BA Finals with Steve Nash claiming MVP. Comments can b e sent t o m e at Sando026@csusm.edu or to the newspaper at pride@csusm.edu.

"There is no plot." With these words echoing in my mind, I settled in t o watch the last performance of " The Bald Soprano," presented by the Visual and P erforming A rts Department here at Cal State San Marcos. I confess I was predisposed t o be disappointed by t he play - not because I don't have faith in t he VPA t o deliver the goods, but because I am usually suspicious of anything which calls itself an "anti-play or parody." I o ften f ind such pieces less humorous t han depressingly misanthropic. "The Bald Soprano," written by Eugene Ionesco, is an odd combination of wit and misanthropy which, though it didn't make me laugh out loud, amused me and pro- Anthony Buonocore (left) as Mr. Martin and Lucia D. Lopez (right) as Mrs. Martin. vided some food for thought. Eugene Ionesco was one of the fathers of absurdist theater. Born in Romania in 1909, Ionesco grew u p in Paris. There he was employed a s a teacher, translator and proofreader, and it was only at the age of 39 that Ionesco tried h is hand at play writing. "The Bald Soprano," Ionesco's first play, was p erformed in 1950. Ionesco's experience learning English f rom a phrase book provided the inspiration for the piece. He found that dialogue within the phrase book, when read as though one were reading a novel, was intriguing in its f ragmentary and absurd nature. The meaning in "The Bald Soprano" derives f rom the fact that the dialogue itself has no meaning. The actors spout o ff insipid remarks that are completely u nrelated to those of the person t o whom they are speaking. Conversation, then, ceases to connect the parties who are conversing, a s they talk a lot but say little. C areful consideration seemed t o have b een t aken by t he cast and crew of t his p erformance t o make t his play appear applicable t o t oday's A merican society while r etaining something of the era in which it was w ritten. The result was a cross-generational amalgamation which lent itself b eautifully t o t he absurdity of t he play. The set was spare, containing bits of f urniture that could have easily existed in 1950s France as in 2007 America, except for multiple television sets showing images of President Bush and Ask Alliant About Education A t o ur S an Diego c ampus, w e offer: • TeachersCHO/CE preparation programs • E arly Completion Option: C alifornia Teaching Credential i n Nine Months • Master's in Education: Teaching, offered with the E arly Completion Option o r online • Master's in E ducation with credential in one y ear • A uditory-Oral Certificate • School and Educational Psychology ¡I S I. • Master's in Education, School Psychology Credential • Doctorate in Educational Psychology • Teaching English t o Speakers of O ther Languages ( TESOL) llllllllIIISSI, • Master's in Education, TESOL • Doctorate in T ESOL • T ESOL Graduate Certificate or CLAD Certificate • Educational Leadership • Master's in Educational Administration • Doctorate in Educational Leadership and Management For m ore i nformation, o r t o a ttend an o pen h ouse call I - 8 6 6 - U - A L L I A N T o r email a d m i s s i o n s @ a l l i a n t . e d u MflHHHk Accepting Applications f o r F all 2 0 0 7 INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY G r a d u a t e S chool o f E d u c a t i o n www.alliant.edu/gsoe San Francisco • Sacramento Los Angeles • Fresno • Irvine San Diego • Mexico City • Online Aliant is a private, nonprofit u n i M M California M m m W ir ' r; / opportunity employer and educator.

Kudos t o Heather Bliss, M ary Foley, Rachel P angilinan, Terinn Rozo, and Rozue Yamada f or t heir creative c ostuming. Directed by Marcos Martinez, the cast of "The Bald Soprano" was divided into two - one first cast playing April 13, 14, and 20, the second playing April 12,19, and 21. Cast two's Jessica Swan made a commendable t urn as the facetious Mrs. Smith, while Omar Yanez b eautifully deadpanned as her staid husband. The irrepressible Mrs. M artin was cheekily p erformed by Lucia D. Lopez, and Anthony Buonocore was likable as her easily excitable husband. Admirably, Shane Barksdaie managed t o stay in character as t he ridiculous Fire Chief without cracking a smile. Although Ionesco's dialogue does nothing t o flesh out the characters, as this is hardly a character-driven piece, the actors did a nice j ob of bringing life t o their roles. Without the spark of life in those who t ry desperately t o communicate, I do not t hink Ionesco's statement about the futility of h uman communication would have rang as t rue as it did during the April 21 p erformance of "The Bald Soprano." �^ Horror BY RICHARD ESPERTI Pride Staff Writer "Vacancy" delivers a h eart throbbing and s uspenseful t hrill ride capable of leaving audiences in fear of overnight stays in small town motels.

This week I picked another local spot to check out. For any San Diegan the Stone Brewery is considered local, but for u s Cougars the Stone Brewery and World Bistro is our neighbor. Not but five minutes f rom our campus is one of the most impressive breweries I have been t o yet. The list of beers is almost endless, so you can imagine how hard it was t o choose one. But I did, and t his week's Beer of the Week is the Stone Smoked Porter. A porter-type beer is much darker then a pale ale or brew of that sort. But it is not as black as a stout beer. At the brewery the color of this beer is known as a dark mahogany. But it j ust looked dark brown to me. It is a smoked porter due to the amount of peat-smoked specialty malt Stone uses. Another interesting fact, which seems to be a trend at the brewery, is that this beer among others is 100% natural. N o additives, no chemicals, no preservatives, no pasteurization, and no adjuncts (which is a fancy word for no rice or corn). I prepared myself for a very bitter beer with a strong bite as it went down. But it was much more subtle than the color led me to believe. My first thought was that this brew is very f ull bodied and rich but not bitter. During the first couple of gulps, I had a hard time distinguishing all of the flavors. But as I got about half-way done with the glass, I could continuously taste chocolate and c offee flavors and a distinct smoky flavor. Even with all that flavor there w as no bitter taste lingering on the back of my tongue. This is a beer t hat I would recommend trying. The Stone Brewery and World Bistro do not j ust o ffer some of the world's finest beers but also some incredible food. I enjoyed their famous Mac a nd Beer Cheese, which was incredible. But on a college budget it looks like I will be eating o ff the dollar menu for the rest of the week. I f you happen to have a lot of extra cash and you want to t ry some interesting food you can order anything f rom mac and cheese to duck tacos. If you have not yet experienced Stone Brewery and World Bistro I recommend it especially i f consider your self a connoisseur of beer.

Segall PRIDE STAFF WRITER According to the Saturday, April 22, 2000 issue of the North County Times, former Lieutenant of Campus Public Safety, Alicia Smith has filed a lawsuit against CSUSM. In the article by Bruce Kauffman, Smith alleges she was fired because she was "female, single, and black, and because she filed a complaint against her supervisor" former Chief Arnold Trujillo. Smith received notice of her The North County Times furjob termination on November 2, ther stated that Smith alleges that 1998. during her tenure at CSUSM, her sexual orientation was questioned and that her pay was not equal to officers of the same ranking throughout the CSU system. She also charges that term "monkey" was used in conversations about race, a term that offended Smith. Roy L. Landers, Smith's attorney, could not be reached for comment. According to the article, Landers notes that racial politics could be one explanation for the firing of Smith. Smith began her position as Lieutenant for CSUSM's Public Safety in November 1995. At the time, Smith had twenty-three years of experience in law enforcement. She was president of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, Patrol Officer in Los Angeles and San Bernardino County, Line-Sargeant for Southern Pacific Railroad's Police Force. Currently, there are no women on the CSUSM police force, but according to Chief Tom Schultheis, "If all goes well, we will be hiring two women officers in the near future." In their need for full-time officers "around the clock," the University Police Department was unable tofindavailable female candidates tofillthe positions. Of the eight officers in the force, which includes Chief Schultheis and Lieutenant Will Glen, two officers are African-American, two are Hispanic, one is Asian, and three are Caucasian. Chief Schultheis responded to the North County Times article by noting that the events took place before his time at CSUSM. He hopes for more positive feelings towards the department and noted that currently, there are increased RAD training, the relocation of photo I.D.'s to on campus, things to make the roadways safer, and in the near future with better weather, officers on bike transport. CSUSM Awarded $1 Million from Qualcomm Shanna Skidmore PRIDE STAFF WRITER CSUSM will receive $1 million over a twoyear period to support the College of Business Administration. Although m process, it has not been determined how the funds will be distributed. These funds may be used to help develop training programs for professionals seeking middle-management positions in high-tech and biotech firms. CSUSM was included among a group of educational institutions to receive part of some $25 million that Qualcomm generously donated. Qualcomm agreed to donate the money to four universities including San Marcos. University of California, San Diego, San Diego State and the foundation for the improvement of Mathematics and Science Education in the San Diego Unified School District were also among the select group to receive the money. "We're thrilled to have the support from Qualcomm," said Kathleen Watson, Interim Dean of the College of Business Admin- Bad weather on Tuesday discouraged student turnout to only a handful of students. However, sunny weather on Wednesday increased the turnout to around 35 students for the forum. Most candidate issues focused on ways to increase student participation in student government and addressed the need to lobby the administration, local and state government for student issues. Supporters ofthe two competing slates in the crowd used the forum as an opportunity to ask difficult questions of the many candidates. Dean was not asked any questions regarding his issues, but defended his election slate's composition.

This money is expected to help expand the College of Business Administration. Although Qualcomm did not state specifically how the money should be spent, the University has discussed a need for training individuals involved in high-tech companies for middle management positions. "The idea would be to design the program based on the business community's needs," Watson stated. The program would benefit people who are fully employed and moving into management positions and seeking a MBA (masters degree) in biotech, high-tech, or business majors. The donation was part of a commitment connected to the "Digital Opportunity" tour by President Clinton. "Digital Opportunity" is designed to close the gap between those who can afford to access computer technology and those who cannot. Because this donation is so new, definite plans for the money have not been determined.

As Peters points out, "...she is disappointed with a system that..treats both faculty and students as products." One cannot helpfeelingdisheartened knowing that the 'University' has become a business for PROFIT! Think about it Isn't it scary to think ofourselvesas 'products'? What kind ofan institution is this anyway? I thought that the educational institution was for the welfare of the people (students and faculty). One knows that when an educational system tends to worry more about 'saving a dollar,' it has less concerns about saving the 'future' of a wonderful mind I, too, am disappointed to see a well-respected professor leave the university. If she has been well liked and respected for her teaching andrelationshipswith her students, then let the students decide what FLEXIBILITY is!

Although built in 1992, the greenhouse has been non-operational until this semester due to funding problems. Now fully operational and being used by Ecology classes,finally,the greenhouse has been put to use for growing life. The corn and beans study will show how the plants compete against each other for limited soil nutrients and light. The students have dried and weighed the plants, and are currently compiling their data in order to write up the results of this research activity. Continually, more Ecology classes are being offered at CSUSM. But the greenhouse is not solely for Ecology students' use. It provides research opportunities for all students and faculty. "The greenhouse offers a new dimension for students [concerning] instruction and research aspects," says Dr. George Vourlitis, Terrestrial Plant Ecologist and CSUSM professor. Undeveloped hillsides of chaparral adjacent to CSUSM are ideal for study - natural landscapes with native vegetation and ecosystems. The new Science Hall, currently under construction, is predicted to be complete in fall 2002, according to Bella Newberg, Financial and The Biological Sciences Department has within it the Ecology concentratioh where students work in the greenhouse under the class Biology 354, "Principles of Ecology". Various fields of study fall under ecology, which is the science of the relationships between organisms and their environments. In fall 2000, a Terrestrial Ecology class will be offered that is ecosystem-focused, and studies soil and the interaction between carbon, nutrients and water cycles. Terrestrial Plant Ecology studies the plant as a main unit, focusing on its growth and nutrient synthesis, according to Vourlitis. Currently CSUSM only focuses on general and "Terrestrial Plant" ecology, although there are plans to develop an Environmental Sciences program in the future. Graduate students can use the greenhouse to conduct research to fulfill their theses and under graduates can use it to conduct research for Independent Study course credit. For further information on research opportunities utilizing the greenhouse, contact Dr. George Vourlitis at (760) 750-4119 or georgev@csusm.edu. Some really good performances help.

Known as The Great American Boycott, May 1 will also be marked as "the day without an immigrant." The pending legislation of HR-4437, also known as the Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act o f2005, will seek to improve homeland security. One of the major points of the proposal is that an illegal immigrant would be classified as a felon. Photo by Christine Vaughan / The Pride The U.S. will no longer give asylum to illegal immigrants, as well. Another highlight of HR-4437 is the proposed construction of a 700 mile fence along the U.S./Mexico border. The May 1 nationwide movement calls for a boycott of the economy: No work, no school, and no buy. Some Cal State San Marcos students are preparing to participate and show their support in different ways on May L Jose Cruz, an immigrant from Mexico, received an e-mail promoting him to boycott his classes on May 1. "I don't support the boycott of classes, but I do support the immigrant cause," said Cruz, a graduating senior of Literature and Writing Studies. "Everyone who goes to work everyday is a vital part of the economy." Jenny Aaron, a graduating senior in Liberal Studies, plans to attend all of her class that day, despite the boycott. However, she will show her support by boycotting businesses. "It's a doubleedged sword for undocumented workers, because they have to earn a paycheck and yet would want to support the immigration movement," explained Aaron. Many students will also be showing their support against HR-4437 by rallying on Thursday, April 27, at the Library Plaza, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. WALKOUT, SEE page 2 Be Black. Be Proud. African American graduates to receive honorary recognition BY J ENNY NGUYEN Pride Staff Writer The African American Recognition Planning Committee will be hosting its 10th Annual African American Recognition Ceremony for the black seniors that will be graduating. The ceremony will be held on Thursday, May 4, at 5 p.m. in the Grand Salon of the Clarke Field House at Cal State San Marcos. "This is not a graduation ceremony, but rather a recognition ceremony," saidOneita Billings, chair of the African American Faculty &Staff Association. "It is about a celebration of culture. People should view the recognition ceremony as a facet of integrated education and celebrate it as progress in our nation and progress for ALL OF US as people," said graduating senior, Antoinette Johnson. "It's nice to be recognized, there are programs out there and people out there for the black students," said graduating . senior, Katrena Robinson. "Every ethnic group congratulates its members, everyone deserves to be recognized," said Lorenzo Grey, fellow graduating senior. "At CSUSM, we more often then not have to deal with being the only black student, or one of two, in class," said Kayonni Williams. This year, 72 African American students will be graduating. "We are growing in numbers, this is twice the number of last year," said Billings.

Wednesday, April 26, marks the tenth annual Day of Silence, where thousands of students nationwide will choose not to speak for an entire day in order to make a statement in support of the gay and lesbian community. The Day of Silence is a student led day of action where supporters, who believe anti-LGBT bullying and harassment should be unacceptable in schools, participate in events to recognize and protest the dis- BY JENNY NGUYEN Pride Staff Writer crimination and harassment, and in effect, the silencing experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students and their allies. The Day of Silence started in 1996 at the University of Virginia, with over 150 students participating in the demonstration. In 2001, the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network became the official sponsor with new funding, staff and volunteers. Last year's event had more than 450,000 students participating from nearly 4,000 schools, colleges and universities.

"We as students want to voice our opinions and concerns," said Herminia Ramirez, a student activist and organizer of the rally. "We are not planning to walk out of classes or work obligations. Our goal is to provoke thought and to educate other students about HR-4437." Although other students like Cruz do not condone boycotting classes, there will be students who will not attend their classes to show support. Maria Sanchez, also an immigrant f rom Mexico, will be one of those students who will be absent on May 1. "I know the struggles that [immigrants] face and part of my participation is the understanding that I was once in that same situation," said Sanchez, a graduating History major. Lorrin Hernandez, a junior of Literature and Writing, is fully aware of both sides of the issue. Her husband is a Mexican immigrant and he supports the movement. Her family, on the other hand, is in opposition of the movement. Although she is on the fence with the issue, Hernandez is optimistic about May L "I think it's a good way for stu- LGBTA anticipates at least 50-100 students to take part in this full day of devotion to silence. Participants are asked to wear all white on Wednesday, April 26, for The Day of Silence. Anyone interested in participating is asked to meet in front of the Kellogg Library at 12:00 noon, and asked to remain silent to respect those who have been forcibly silenced or choose to remain silent due to intimidation and fear. Silence Cards will be given out to anyone with questions about the event. A sample Silence Card may read something like: "Please understand my reasons for not speaking today. My deliberate silence echoes that silence, which is caused by harassment, prejudice, and discrimination. Think about the voices you are not hearing today. What are you going to do to end the silence?"

"You can't alienate people who have been here and have helped the country come together. It's not fair to say 'you don't belong here,' when [immigrants] contribute to society and every day life." May 1 is not just an effort to oppose HR 4437, but also a way for immigrants to take action. Although there are concerns about attendance, there is little question that May 1 will impact the campus. "I hope [the boycott] will inform students about the importance of this situation," said Ramirez. "People's f utures are at stake and we need to be active by voicing our concerns about this legislation." While there is a national concern for the consequences of May 1, students on the campus are more concerned with awareness. "I hope the demonstration will show the nation what will happen if 11 million people are deported. It will show the solidarity of a group of people who j ust want opportunities," added Ramirez.

The RIAA's announcement comes on the heels of a continuing onslaught of lawsuits against music downloaders nation-wide. Although having fallen out of headline news coverage, the R IAA has issued nearly 20,000 lawsuits since September 2003, with many of the most recent suits being brought against college students. At CSUSM, no students have been cited by the R IAA in over a year, and before that "just a couple" of students had run- ins with the RIAA, said Wayne Veres, dean of the Instructional and Information Technology Services. In both incidents, letters of cease and desist were sent to the offending students, and the issue was quickly resolved. At colleges across the* nation, campus computers and email accounts have been used for the setup of file sharing software, commonly used for trading music online. The R IAA uses email and IP addresses to track down the offenders, many of which lead them straight to college campuses. "Our students are adults here, and it's not a problem," stated Veres in regards to RIAA lawsuits and illegal music downloading. Although "personal use of computer facilities" is restricted under section 3.9 of the CSUSM computer access policies, any cursory examination of computers on campus reveal obvious and frequent personal use, a common example being the abundance of sites like myspace.com listed in the browser history. While Veres observes that Cal State S&n Marcos does not have any way of actually observing or regulating the use of campus computers, the college does use a complex system of anti-virus software that cuts out most file sharing traffic by blocking ports often used in the transfer of such material. This system does not stop the use of file sharing programs, yet the virus software installed on campus recognizes the protocols used by such programs as potentially unsafe and thus blocks all Internet traffic over the ports in use. Rather than employ a large net- into contracting with a legitimate work of devices to regulate the music download site for the ben'personal' activities of students efit of students.

Campus Resources: Helpful technology on Kellogg's second floor BY SUMMER CONNERY Pride Staff Writer The Kellogg Library's second floor offers more resources than students might be aware of. Immediately to the right of the ground floor entrance, the Media Library contains a wide variety of films and programming, including 16 multimedia editing stations, two sections of which, according to Suzanne Rios, Library Assistant in the Media Library, are more "beefed up," than the others. These have DVD and VHS editing capabilities, including programs to transfer video f rom different sized tapes on to a VHS or DVD. The most underutilized portions of the Media Library, according to Rios, are the CD and DVD recorders, along with the dual VCRs. Students can feel free to go into the media library to transfer music from a cassette tape to a CD, a movie from a VHS to a DVD, or transfer video from one VHS to another. All of the stations are set up with a program, created by an alumnus of CSUSM, which will walk users through each of . the editing options, step by step. There is also additional help provided by the Systems Staff from 8am to 5pm for more in-depth assistance. While those interested in taking a piece of the Media Library home with them are likely to favor DVDs, Rios states that, "I p ersonally d on't like h aving DVDs here; they just don't withstand the use and abuse of people using them." The Media Library began its collection of DVDs about three years ago, and since then has had to replace many of them due to damage. They are now ordering most everything in DVD form, yet, "It is going to take a while," says Rios. Some might havQ confused the Media Library with the other underutilized service directly across from it. Chris Thaeler, a knowledgeable student working at the Student Technology Help Desk, was more than willing to clarify what sets it apart. "Basically, the Help Desk services all of the students on campus whenever they have computer problems." Recently, this included some confusion regarding with many students' Computer Competency Requirements (CCR). word processing skills, spreadsheets skills, internet skills, and ethics and viruses knowledge. (General Knowledge is no longer being given.) This requirement must be fulfilled b y the end of the student's second semester of attendance at CSUSM. A fter the second semester, if the CCR has not been fulfilled, a registration hold will be placed, preventing any further registration activity..." As for why some students who met the requirement recently M a r y A tkins, w h o o perates a s f ound CSUSM's Scheduling & Software Coordinator as well as its Computer Competency Requirement Coordinator, clarified the matter with the Pride via email. "The purpose of the Computer Competency Requirement is to ensure that students are competent in the basics of computer use early in their studies. These four basic competencies include: again, Ms. Atkins explains. "A short while ago, we changed the BANNER page to reflect the fact that the General Knowledge section of the CCR was no longer being given. "On Thursday, April 13, 2006, the System Development people corrected the Advising Transcript so that it also reflected this fact. For a short while, the Advising Transcript was showing that students still needed to take this section when they, in fact, did not. This discrepancy reflected the process of getting all "scripts' Corrections and Clarifications: Volume XV Issue No. 13: Headline on Page 1 should have read Recycling Wins.

No student was suddenly in a nonfulfilled state, it only appeared that they were. The problem was fixed last week." Students still uncertain about their CCR can check their status through 'Smart Web' and can read a description of the program at www.csusm.edu/iits/ccr. This link provides a sample exam, study materials, and the exam schedule. No matter a student's computer literacy, the Help Desk makes a variety of equipment available for check out, including laptops, video equipment (camcorders and digital cameras), headphones, and tape recorders, to name a few. These resources are limited, however, so they check items out on a first come first serve basis. Though the Help Desk is there to aid students in need, they do not have any office supplies for sale. Helpful as they may be, "we're not Office Depot," said Thaeler. For more information, please contact (760)750-4371 or Mary Atkins at 760-750-4788.

"VOX is a national organization. Ours is the 3rd chapter in San Diego," said cofounder Costales. "It's established and running well at SDSU and UCSD". Costales believes he might be the first male founder in the nation for thè VOX movement. Staff advisor for VOX, psychology professor Sonja Ruiz PhD, is proud to advise the organization. "Chad and Ana Liza came and talked to me about it. I thought it was a great idea. I respect Ana Liza and Chad," said Dr. Ruiz, "It's a great opportunity to educate students." For those unfamiliar with VOX, or the contributions of Planned Parenthood, Cos"We need all the support we can get," tales defines the group as a student organisaid Ana Liza P.

VOX will soon be recognized as a student organization and will have a recognition kick-off party, possibly during finals week. "Alumni, faculty, staff, and students are f ree to attend all of our meetings and events," announced Soriano. The first meeting was already highly informative. Attendees learned that, among other things Costales explained as contrary to popular belief, "abortion accounts for only 8% of services offered by Planned Parenthood." Soriano informed attendees that many in the media "portray emergency contraceptive pills (ECP) and abortion pills as the same thing , and they're not; ECP prevents pregnancy in an emergency, while an abortion pill (works) within the first few weeks of pregnancy."

BY JOSH SANDOVAL Special to The Pride In the second round of the West playoffs the Spurs will beat the Mavericks because the Spurs have much better guard play than the Mavericks and the Mavs won't be able to compete with Emmanuel Ginobli and Tony Parker. An all L.A. match-up here is going to be interesting. I think it would be a sign of the Apocalypse if the Clippers were to beat the Lakers in the playoffs so we can't have that happen. The Lakers will beat the Clippers, because the Lakers have the best player in the NBA, Kobe. In the Western Conference Finals the Spurs will sweep the Lakers. Kobe can't go 5-on-l, in basketball that is. The Lakers did beat the Spurs one time in the regular season but the Spurs are just too good and will await the Eastern Conference winner. In the Eastern first round playoffs the Detroit Pistons could send half their team to take on the Milwaukee Bucks and still sweep them with a double digit victory in each game. The NBA wants the Cleveland Cavaliers to beat the Washington Wizards because their golden goose for marketing, LeBron James, is a big draw for T.V. ratings, but I think the Wizards will take the series. The Wiz took three-of-four in the regular season and the trifecta of Gilbert Arenas, Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler is much better than any combo on the Cavs. I think the Chicago Bulls will take the Miami Heat to six games in the first round, but the Heat has too much talent to lose in the first round. The Bulls barely made the playoffs and for some reason they have many of the experts choosing them for the upset. There is no way I am picking against Batman (Shaq) and Robin (Wade) because Michael Jeffrey Jordan certainly isn't walking onto that court for the Bulls. The New Jersey Nets have been en fuego lately and the Indiana Pacers have been beat up this whole season. The Pacers haven't had an opportunity to get into a flow because one key person has always been out, whereas the Nets have been healthy all season and it will show in this match-up. In the second round of the East playoffs the Pistons will take down the Wiz without even breaking a sweat. The Wizards couldn't even win if they were actual wizards and used magic. The Nets will beat the Heat, because like I said before regarding the Pacers, the same applies to the Heat, thus ending my prediction. The Nets attack the hoop on . nearly every possession so look for Shaq to be in constant foul trouble and that will be the determining factor in the series. The Pistons will cut the Nets down in the East. Great defense always beats great offense and the Nets really don't play defense at all whereas the Pistons do both exceptionally well. In the NBA Finals there will be a rematch. I .think it will go seven games again and the Pistons will take game seven this time around with Chauncey Billups winning his second Finals MVP award.

CUM od SS student andfaoiöy! �Response to letter to letter to the the Editor: Editor: Cheyenne, I read your letter to the editor in "The Pride". I just wanted to point out to you that in your letter you wrote that there is an, 'importance for such an event' (the gay wedding). Cheyenne, this is a false statement. ASI is promoting something that is illegal in our country and I don't see importance in this. Weekly I see protests, conventions, and parades on campus that are promoting rights and issues that many people on campus are tired of. I plead that ASI and the LBGTA stop pushing these issues in students lives. Forcing these issues down our. throats is actually impeding on our rights. Many people do not wish to see a transgender fashion show or gay wedding, and i think it is wrong to promote something that is completely anti-America. I am not looking for a fight and i can tell you that i really am not a hateful person, i am just doing my duty to our community and asking in a respectful way to stop such behavior. Hopefully we can make some headway to more important topics \o promote on our campus at Cal State San Marcos University. If you need ideas, i qan think of plenty and i would be willing to help.

But where's the rebel pop princess been this whole time? Well, she got married for one thing, to Motocross hot shot, Carey Hart. And she spent time putting a lot of thought into her next projects. The effort paid off as Pink is back. In fact, she's back in a big way, and she's anything but dead, as her newly released record clearly insists. As her aggressive album cover depicts, on "I'm Not Dead" no one is safe f rom being called out in one way or another through Pink's fierce lyrics. Coming out swinging, Pink is addressing more controversial issues than ever before in her edgy blend of expletive-filled, rockinfused pop. Pink uses "I'm Not Dead" as her platform to speak out against everything from bulimia to current events. On "Stupid Girls," the album's first single, Pink attacks the abundance of disgusting celebrity qualities that are keeping the masses infatuated. Along with the track comes a highly satirical video that badly mocks the likes of a Daisy Duke-wearing, suds-up, General Lee-washing Jessica Simpson, skinny doggy-toting, oversized glasses wearing Nicole Richie, and of course, the infamous sidekick addicted poor driver, Lindsay Lohan. On the reminiscent "Conversations with My 13 Year Old Self," and "Runaway," Pink struggles with her remaining innerteenager. She also attacks a prominent politician and his agenda on "Dear Mr. President." Bringing an acoustic guitar driven sound into the mix on "The One That Got Away," Pink adds some musical diversity to the record, as she does with the R&B flavored take on the concept of insane materialism in the aptly named "I Got Money Now." Pink chooses on this record to collaborate with some unexpected artists. While she could have her pick of celebrity rappers Photo courtesy of La Face Records and singers across the board, Pink chooses instead to work with the Indigo Girls and her very own father on the hidden track, "I Have Seen the Rain." Whatever she chooses to sing about, essentially doing whatever she wants, on this new record Pink proves' that she's alive and well. American Nightmarez BY DUSTIN FRANKS Pride Staff Writer The movie American Dreamz had potential in taking a direct stab at American pop culture, its current presidential office, terrorism, and the glue binding it all together: American Idol. The plot was clever enough to lure a packed audience into the matinee on Friday, but when I left the theater I felt more unscathed than when I walked in two hours earlier. The movie careens through several subplots, revolving around the show "American Dreamz," a near direct take-off of American Idol. It eventually brings all the contestants together in a predictable ending to the grand finale of the show. Mandy Moore plays a comically heartless young singer, willing to do anything to win the game show, while going up against a fellow featured Arab contestant and "American D reamz" sensation, Omer (Golzari), who is coincidentally a terrorist sleeper cell set out to kill the President, who happens to be guest hosting the show in an attempt to boost his popularity ratings. Hugh Grant plays the egotistical movie version of Simon Cowell and a lmost the Photo courtesy Universal Studios Kemem6ering Lisa / BY RACHEL CARIE WANN Pride Staff Writer This week, the music world and TLC fans everywhere will remember the life of Lisa " Left Eye" Lopes, which was tragically cut short four years ago on April 25, 2002. Known to most of the world as a member of the widely successful Hip-Hop R&B trio, TLC, Lopes stood out among the remaining members as the most outspoken and controversial of the group and l eft the world to remember both her talent, adding flavor and originality to TLC with her raps and spunky stage presence, and the public drama that infiltrated her life. v Born in Philly on May 27,1971, Lopes joined TLC at the age of 20 in the early nineties in Atlanta, Georgia with Tionne "TBoz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas. The flashy clothing worn by the girls that featured a staple wardrobe of baggy pants and condoms as accessories garnered TLC almost as much as attention as their in-your-face songs which quickly escalated the singer's/rapper's career to extreme heights as the girl group took a stand in their music speaking out against prevalent issues such as AIDS and safe-sex and youth crime. TLC went on to produce top-ten hit-filled records beginning with "Ooooooohhh... On the TLC Tip," the infamous "CrazySexyCool" which included such giant hits as "Creep" and "Waterfalls" and "Fan Mail" which featured the radio-friendly hits, "No Scrubs" and "Unpretty." Aside f rom her musical accolades, Lopes garnered as much, if not more, press Photos courtesy of La Face Records r * ,, ~ ii ; ., for her baby-faced bad-girl together of Cowell's notoriously cold demeanor and arrogance. The movie takes a very uncreative and unenthused stab at the current White House office, with Dennis Quaid playing President Staton. The dim, light-hearted President, already in the midst of a nervous breakdown, is torn between his political guidance and his newfound interest in public opinion. Dafoe plays the overbearing chief of staff and puppeteers the Commander in Chief via an earpiece throughout the movie, scripting every line and sedating the President reputation in the music world and the tabloid headlines of her constant antics and exploits, such as her tumultuous relationship with her then-boyfriend, NFL star Andre Rison, whose mansion she famously set fire to in 1994. Lopes pleaded guilty to arson and accepted five years of probation and a hefty, but this wasn't the last time the ladies of TLC found themselves in controversy. Lopes, along with her band mates, fought publicly with their manager, singer Pebbles, and again with her record label Pebbetone prior to the release of her much-anticipated solo-record, "Supernova." They also endured filing for bankruptcy and dealing with substance abuse and chronic diseases in the eye of the ever critical media. The band was in the middle of recording a new album in 2002 when tragedy struck. Sadly, Lopes's life was cut short by her untimely sudden death. While vacationing in La Cieba, Honduras, Lopes was volunteering at a holistic healing center and a children's institute, when Lopes and her party of eight that included her brother and sister, were involved in a car crash that proved to be fatal for Lopes M e r she sustained a blow to the head. While moderately f unny, and while die-hard f ans of American Idol will find its take of the shows previous contestants fairly amusing, I felt the movie never went where it had the potential to go. American Dreamz stomps on the pedal and then lets off the gas, toying with the notion of taking a stance on what's currently warped with American society. The political statement I felt it was trying to make was mild at best and never reached the mark it seemed set for. This one is best saved for a rental. Lopes was the driver and the only fatality out of the eight tourists. Shortly after Lopes's death, Lopes's band mates called in to the MTV show TRL to express their deepest sorrows stating that "Lisa had one of the biggest hearts of anybody we've ever known. She did charity work with kids for the lupus disease. She adopted a little girl named Snow.... Lisa could do anything s hrput her miiid to." Lopes's impact on* those she encountered and workeffWith was evident in a statement from Antonio "L A." Reidj4 CEO and p resident of Arista^Records", the label which T LC *called home for over 10 years. "No words can possibly express the sorrow and sadness I feel for this most devastating loss", Reid said in a statement following Lopes's death. He went on to say that "Lisa was not only a gifted and talented musical inspiration, but more importantly, she was like a daughter to me. My thoughts and prayers are with Lisa's family and friends. Her legacy will be remembered forever." Lisa " Left Eye" Lopes was laid to rest in Lithonia, Georgia on May 3, 2002. She will not soon be forgotten as her legacy continues to live on in her music. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The filmmaker and political activist announced on Tuesday details of the 'hell-raiser' schol- arship he promised CSUSM students in his October 12, 2004 speech at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. According to a press release from Moore, the "Michael Moore Freedom of Speech Scholarship at Cal State San Marcos" will award $2500 scholarships to, "the two individual students who have done the most to fight for issues of student rights by standing up to the administration of Cal State San Marcos." "I hope this scholarship will encourage students to show courage and stand up for what they believe in," said Moore, "When students (take on the administra- tion) for the right reasons, they should be rewarded." To be eligible for one of the scholarships a student must be enrolled in a minimum of at least six units each semester during the 2004-2005 academic year or for the fall 2005 semester and have a minimum grade point average of 2.5. The application process consists of filling out an application form including three personal references at: http://www.michaelmoore.com/takeaction/sanmarcos_form.php and submitting a two page letter to Michael See MOORE, page 4 Giving the gift of life CSUSM sounds off in San Diego Campus turns out to donate blood to the San Diego Blook Bank BY FELIPE ZANARTU For The Pride Four students participate in protest at the governor s local office Photo courtesy of San Diego Blood Bank BY MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Staff Writer dressed in funeral attire and holding picket signs, silently marched around the lawn in front of the steps to the State Capitol building.

Undergrads and others came out to give blood to the San Diego Blood Bank on April 19 and 20. The big white bloodmobile was parked in front of the Dome from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both days. The pressure to donate blood was intimidating for some, but others thought of it as a way to give back. The blood donation process takes about 45 minutes to an hour. The majority of the time is spent answering questions to determine donor eligibility. If you have a blood communicable disease like HIV/AIDS the blood bank does not want your blood. Once you are done with all the paperwork, you are given a preliminary test to see if you have enough iron in your blood. Once you pass the test you are ready to donate. It is common to be nervous prior to giving blood. "The only fear I have is the needle," saidfirsttime donor Arianna Merrill. This is a fear that I also shared. What one discovers however is that after the first poke of the needle the fear subsides.

"We are mourning the (death of the) California dream for affordable higher education," said Jason Spencer, CSSA chair of legislative affairs. Spencer said that students are getting more and paying less because of the budget cuts students are having to rely more heavily on financial aid and side jobs to complete their education. "We can't balance our state budget on the backs of students," said Bustamante. "Raising tuition fees is shortsighted and lacks vision. We need an educated workforce for our economy." Applause erupted from the crowd when Bustamante thanked the students for their participation. "Thank you for coming. Thank you for bringing the faces of students, not statistics, before the Legislature. The next generation of students will benefit because of your advocacy," said Bustamante. Hancock urged students to get involved on their campuses and do everything they can to express their voice. "Student fees have risen faster than inflation. We have to turn this around. We (legislators) are fighting on the inside, but we also need you to fight on the outside." After the protest, students disbursed to lobby legislators, do some shopping, or hang out on the capitol lawn before attending the Assembly Budget Subcommittee meeting on education finance.

That was the consensus resonating throughout the Teacher Career Fair—the exemplary qualifications of CSUSM teacher candidates. "Our teacher candidates are highly qualified and sought after", said Sandy Punch, the director of the career fair. There were 41 school districts from all over the state in attendance as well as a few from Colorado, Arizona, and Nevada. CSUSM has hosted this event for 13 years for alumni and newly credentialed teacher candidates. The purpose is to give our candidates a chance to network and meet with representatives from various districts as well as hand delivering their resumes. The fair is a great opportunity for our future teachers tofindout about local school districts as well as those in other parts of the country. Ana Stover, who is the director of Human Resources for the Chula Vista Unified School District, spoke with candidates about the new schools opening up in the area and they are currently accepting applications for every position. "We are especially looking for multiple subject credentialed candidates with a BCLAD, Special Education, and Speech certificate," said Stover. Many of the representatives expressed their need for certified BCLAD (Bilingual Certificate of Advanced Study in Biliteracy: Spanish) applicants. In many districts there are always positions available for math and science teachers in the middle school level as well as Special Education teachers in every grade level. Poway, Temecula, San Marcos and Murrieta school districts had the longest lines of candidates vying for a chance to speak with the representatives and hand in their resumes. Chris Meglio, who will graduate with his single subject credential in math, was waiting in line to speak with a Murrieta representative. "I'm trying to find the best fit for my needs," said Meglio when asked what type of district he is looking to work for. Regardless of the amount of teacher candidates graduating each year in California (about 400-500 for CSUSM alone), our teacher education program has a reputation for training high-quality teachers. Cheryl Cauldren, who will be graduating this semester with her multiple subject credential, said she was, "wowed by the instructors and the least effective (instructor) was really great." Chris Meglio said he is proud to be a CSUSM grad and has already received job offers for the upcoming school year. John Mendoza from Palm Springs Unified School District has been attending the fair for the past eight years and comments on the high caliber of teacher candidates from CSUSM. "We've hired two right out of the fair," said Mendoza. When asked about what advice he would give to prospective teachers, Mendoza said, "Don't limit yourself, locals may need to look outside of San Diego County. Palm Springs is a growing district and we are always hiring qualified teachers."

There were various reasons students were inspired to give blood. "I give blood because it helps save lives," said senior biology major Rich Romero. Romero explained that blood can be the difference between life and death for someone in a disaster like the Oklahoma City bombing. "My best friend had a blood transfusion which motivated me to give blood," said Equal Opportunity Program (EOP)/Student Support Services (SSS) staff member Rosa Mora, "It is very interesting and very fun."

The letter needs to include a biographical description, why you attend CSUSM, why you should receive the scholarship and, "What you have done to take a stand and make your school community a better place." Students meeting the requirements are encouraged to nominate themselves; in addition students and faculty can nominate students they feel deserve the scholarships. All applications for the scholarships must be completed by May 11, and the winners will be announced in early June. "At a time when the media and politicians have shown a lack of courage, we should look to America's universities and America's young people to show us how patriotic dissent is," said Moore. Students and faculty had various responses when asked who deserved the two $2500 scholarships. "I don't know of one this year. I actually have been thinking about it," said Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Vicki Golich. Golich said she is unsure if the scholarships will be good for CSUSM in the long run.

Student Eric Kiefer had someone in mind to receive the scholarship. "I would say Claude Sayf because he was a hell-raiser, but he's graduating this semester and Jason Williams because he's put up with a lot of hell," said Kiefer. Student Daniel Lowe was at a loss. "I have no idea. I haven't really been paying attention to it," said Lowe. Student Melissa Rodriguez had another student in mind. "Jason Williams. The whole issue regarding his arrest was really controversial and it was clear that the university didn't want to talk about it. He suffered because he had to deal with it and he was able to organize people around campus in a way nobody else has," said Rodriguez. "I don't know," said student Claude Sayf, "I can tell you who doesn't deserve it, the College Republicans." Student Financial Services was unavailable for comment on the scholarships by press time.

STOR ,;:,; II �THE PRIDE SAN DIEGO, from page 1 lege (SDCC) to participate in the walkout. Cal State San Marcos student Tasha Iglesias organized the San Diego portion of the protest: another contingent of Cal State San Marcos students went north to Sacramento to participate in the walkout activities at the state capitol. Iglesias did not express disappoint with the seemingly small number of Cal State San Marcos students on the San Diego bus. "It's not about how many people you have, it's about how many people you can educate," said Iglesias. The bus dropped off the Cal State San Marcos representatives just south of SDCC near the grassy area on the corner of Park Boulevard and B Street where the marchers and protestors congregated. Approximately 500 students gathered there, holding signs and shouting at the traffic on Park Boulevard. Reporters and photographers from every major broadcast and print media source in the area were also on hand, adding to the hectic atmosphere. "Fight, fight, fight! Education is a right!" among others, were the chants used by the crowd both at SDCC and on the march. Anna Matysiak, a sophomore business major, took the bus down to SDCC for both the protest and as part of a class project. "We wanted to see how the media portrayed the event," said Matysiak.

Shay addressed the crowd and said the police were there to protect from traffic; however, the crowd did not respond favorably to the efforts of the police. Shay then ordered the police line to stand-down. The protestors were escorted west on B then south on Front Street. From there, the march continued east on Broadway much to the shock of noontime downtown patrons. Many of the chants fell on deaf ears, however, as the protestors changed their chants from focusing on education to challenging the Bush administration and the war in Iraq. A chant of "Keep the soldiers out of schools" was answered by an old man watching the march. "Then who's going to fight the war?" said the old man as he stood outside a wig shop on the corner of Ninth Avenue and Broadway. Although no CSUSM students participated in the impromptu detour, Iglesias was discouraged that the group's negative interaction with the police would reflect poorly on the walkout and the message of the day, which was protecting the diminishing budget of the public higher education system. "It divides the group," said Iglesias, "If we are supposed to be united, and then we divide, what message does that send?"

Here's some practical advice to building your 'office' wardrobe. What to purchase: Invest in a few bottoms and tops that you can mix and match. The colors you choose should be solids: black pants, brown skirt, blue pants, etc. Now with your solids on the bottom, you can get a little funkier with the tops. Go for tops that match all of your bottoms. The key word when shopping is "modesty." Black pants are essential but be sure they are appropriate. No low-riders or Capri length. If you have to get a bikini wax to wear the pants - they are too low. Also, v-neck tops are great—but not if you're cleavage is showing. I don't recommend sleeveless tops. A good compromise is a twinset. Skirt lengths are important. Sit down when you try on a skirt. When sitting, if it rides up to your panty line it's too short. A couple pairs of nylons (pantyhose) should be purchased as well. Bare legs are very common in California—but not if you land a job in a more formal environment like the East Coast. A jacketisamustas well. Try for basic black— it will go with everything. Another good purchase—but not an alternative to a jacket—is a cardigan. A cardigan is a wonderful piece that can be worn instead of a jacket in the hot summer months. Buy a good pair of closed-toed shoes. Stick to basic heels or flats. Stay away from the trendy strappy platform shoes—they won't go with your new clothes and your feet will be killing you after nine hours. Don't penny-pinch when it comes to shoes. Remember that a great pair of shoes will Last you a long time. Where to purchase: Skip the department stores and go straight to the specialty shops in the mall. You need help picking out your clothes and that means a salesperson. Smaller shops like Ann Taylor, Casual Corner and Talbot's offer the best combination of selection and customer service. This is because these shops, as well as the salespeople, specialize in the clothes you are looking for. Specialty shops are best for shoes, too. You can buy Clarks, Easy-Spirit and NineWest shoes at department stores, but you will get a much better selection at their smaller brand stores located in the mall. Only buy a few items at a time. Every company is going to have their do's and don'ts of what is appropriate to wear and what isn't. For example, a cutting-edge dotcom company might encourage casual dress. A clothes designer might encour- Images courtesy of menswearhouse.com and casualcorner.com age a modern dress. An investment bank might encourage formal suit attire. There is no need to buy a brand new wardrobe. Once you've settled into your new job you will get a sense of what everyone else around you is wearing and then purchase new pieces for your wardrobe based on the preferences of the company. How do I pay for all this? Here's how I did it: Myfirstoffice job that required formal dress was at Anthony Robbins Co. in La Jolla. I had spent a considerable amount of money on a few items that I rotated on a weekly basis. After a couple of months I was very bored with my wardrobe and had no funds to do anything about it. One of my co-workers, Betty, was always wearing the most trendy office attire and since we were at the same pay scale I decided to ask her how she could buy new clothes so often, Betty told me she works part-time at Casual Corner. She only works a few hours a week and the little extra income combined with the hefty employee discount allowed her to add two to three new outfits to her wardrobe per month. Following Betty's lead, I immediately got a job at Petite Sophisticate. I worked about 10 hours per week and received a 40 percent discount. After working only one month I had a brand new wardrobe.

For graduating students and those looking for careers in the exciting world of corporate America, there is a lot to prepare for. After the resume, the first in-person impression an applicant gives to their prospective employer is key to nailing the interview: you have to get it right the first time. The jeans and tshirts of college life will not cut it any more. Marketing yourself is not always as easy as it seems. Appearance is essential and demands attention to detail. Matching socks, ties and shirts with your suit or jacket and pants will be harder than you think. Thefirstrequirement is to have at least two suits in your collection. One grey and one blue— dark blue, not powder blue. Some places will also recommend black suits, but they make you look like an IRS agent. You can buy suits off the rack, but in order to look professional and not like a teenager working a sales job in the mall, having your suits fitted is the best way to go. Look for wool suits to maintain a classic look and stay away from hip colors. The suit is not the time to be thrifty. Department stores or specialty suit stores, like The Men's Wearhouse, are great for a proper fit and good quality. "Your first interview suit depends in large part on the type ofjob f oj which you're interviewing, but charcoal gray and navy blue are always appropriate," states the Men's Wearhouse website. The website has great guide- lines on building a wardrobe and dressing for success. The website even shows you how to tie a tie. Until you are making good money, never spend too much money on ties since the patterns go out of style every six months. Buy ties at places like Kohl's or on the sale rack at department stores. In addition to suits, pants, like khakis, and jackets are a good choice to have. You can mix and match the outfits. Shirts are an important part of the outfit for men. Until you become confident wearing suits, solid colored shirts are the best way to go. Key colors would be white, blue and grey to match the suits. Try not to clash patterns on your tie and shirt. Shirts are easy to find at places like Ross Dress for Less or Marshalls. Be sure to get measured for your shirts before you buy them. Proper shirt fit depends on your neck and arm length measurements, and the cut of the shirt, so look for professional help in the beginning until you know your proper size and cut. Shoes and socks are easy for men to find as well. Discount retailers like Ross Dress for Less and Marshalls are also great for shoes. Outfit aside, personal appearance i s important for a job i nt^g view; Men should have a clean'; haircut and neatly trirtuned or no facial hair. Jewelry should be kept to a minimum, oneringand a dress watch—no big diver-styles. Body jewelry should be taken out until you at least have the job, then you can put the tongue bar back in. fckiMitnty 10% Student (Discount!

He is determined to show people Remarkable, inspiring, driven; all are words to describe Jason Hinkle, an alumnus of Cal State San Marcos. Last month, Hinkle was awarded with a statewide Muscular DystrophyPersonal Achievement Award. This award was given to honor the contributions he has made to his community as a person with a disability. As a recipient he received a certificate and appeared on a locally broadcast segment of the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy association (MDA) Telethon. Now that he has been awarded statewide, he is in the running to receive the nationwide award, which will be announced in May.

Hinkle has accredited part of his achievement to his mentor Maribel Garcia, a women's studies professor on campus. "I see him as a disability rights advocate," said Garcia. Garcia went on talking about the powerful impact Hinkle's accomplishments have had on others, and even shows his movie as a part of her class curriculum. "He's changing lots of lives," said Garcia. Students have an opportunity to view Hinkle's movie on campus, September 30,2005 in Arts 240, to see the messages that have already touched the lives of many. When asking Hinkle what advice he would give to students he said,; "Life is like an open book, and you're the one who fills in the pages.

O I ��„ 10 Tuesday, April 26, 2005 OPINION THE PRIDE Progressive views are not on the agenda of Benedict XVI BY FELIPE ZANARTU For The Pride The selection of the new Pope Joseph Ratzinger (a.k.a. Benedict XVI) of Germany is a huge victory for conservatives and those of the Opus Dei. For years many American Catholics have been waiting for the pope to die hoping we would find a new Pope with more liberal views. This pope however is not going to be leaning to the left or moving the church forward on liberal issues. He has been quoted as saying that homosexuality is intrinsically e vil So the chances of reform in the church doctrine over the next decade concerning sexuality are doubtful. Along with sexuality comes the issue of women in the priest hood. With the record that Benedict has, it looks like he plans to keep the Catholic Church a patriarchal institution. In talking with religious people on campus, I was told that Bible passages are often interpreted to say that males are the rulers of the church. In this country we have sectors of Catholicism and other religions that believe men are the head of the church. Most sectors of Islam would be a prime exampie of a religion that doesn't seem to practice tolerance. Others believe that progress must start from the church. Former Catholic student Nathan Pagador said, "I think Catholics in America have gotten more liberal and more accept- This letter is in response to Yvonne Brett's article "What is Bugging You?" What's bugging me? How about the article that Yvonne Brett wrote where she insults the customer service in local businesses! These employees are just doing their jobs when they Dear Editor, This letter is to help inform my fellow students at Cal State San Marcos about t he issue of fee increases. Over the last couple of weeks ASI has been promoting events to protest these fee increases without informing the campus community of other financial allocations found within Governor Schwarzenegger's Photo illustration by Elizabeth Baldwin / The Pride is one other conflict that has been raised: Benedict XVI's past. This would be the Nazi question. Was he a Nazi? Looking at his age it is entirely possible. After some research I found that membership was compulsory in the Hitler Youth. Many sources say that the Hitler Youth was possible to resist, and many did according to those sources. "(Benedict XVI) found refuge in the Catholic Church" wrote author Beth Rowen. I would not conclude that our pope is a Nazi, but at a young age he probably went along with the movement out of ignorance like many German's did in Hitler's nationalistic state. On television this week, Bill Maher made up a clever new rule, "No picking a German pope the day before Hitler's Birthday. You have just given every conspiracy theorist in the world a hard-on." Only time will tell whether this pope will create change or if it will be more of the same. As an agnostic, I really could care less who the pope is. But given the huge fundamentalist/evangelical movement in current U.S. politics and culture, and the blurring of the implied separation of church and State, the pope becomes a figure that no one in the world can ignore. ing of other faiths. So right now we are raising the issues, such as women in the priesthood." Catholic staffworker Ann Gnuse concurred with a progressive church, "I don't think the church should remain a patriarchal institution. If women want to be part of the priesthood, more power to them." Many religious people are questioning whether Benedict XVI can do a better job than Pope John Paul II "I think that John Paul II really raised the bar," said Catholic student Arcay Santos, "so he's going to be a hard act to follow." Many Christians and Catholics hope and expect him to be a good pope. The church however seems to be at a crossroads. "They need to figure out where they stand," said Ruth Bran, a volunteer collegiate minister, "they must address the issues of AIDS in Africa, zero population in china, and the overall worldwide culture." With the issue of culture there greet you or repeat your order. Who are you to criticize how people like ME do our jobs? I 'm a Blockbuster employee and I 'd like to point out to you Ms. Brett, that by announcing your movie titles, w e're making sure you get the correct movie. There ARE people out there who grab the wrong movie or get the incorrect movie behind a cover box. We don't care if you're a "loser on a Friday night" because we're WORKING on a Friday night! Businesses that double check things for you and greet you are just doing what is asked of them. There's a little thing called Secret Shoppers that us customer service specialists have to worry about. By not completing tasks like greeting you or repeating your order, we risk our reputation as a good customer oriented business. Also, the whole Starbucks deal, how are they to know you're the only one at the counter when they're behind the counter blending your nonfat latte? They're doing the same as Blockbuster; double checking for all the customers. Maybe the person who took the order heard something different and they make SURE it's correct for you! It's obvious you don't work in the customer service industry so before you think about complaining about people like me doing my j ob correctly, think of what we have to go through dealing with grumpy customers like you. If great customer service is what really bugs you, then start shopping at Wal-Mart from now on. You'll fit right in! Stephanie Michael 2005-2006 Proposed Budget. First, pursuant to the Higher Education Compact that was agreed upon by the California State University Trustees and Governor Schwarzenegger, the proposed budget for the 20052006 academic year includes a 3 percent general funding increase (yes you read correctly, an increase). This means that the CSU system as a whole will see a funding increase of $71.7 million for basic budget support. Second, pursuant to the same Higher Education Compact the proposed budget also includes additional funding of $50.8 million to be spent towards enrollment growth. This means that the CSU system will be allocated more money to accommodate a 2.5 percent increase in enrollment. This will affect CSU San Marcos students because it will accommodate a slight increase in enrollment for the Fall 2005 and Spring 2006 terms. Third, while student fees were increased 8% for the 2005-2006 school year, students can find solace knowing that a substantial portion of this fee increase will be dedicated to financial aid for needy students. So while • the advertisement in the April 13 th edition of the Pride (paid for by ASI) dons the caption, "Need help paying for school? Too Bad," the fact is, contrary to this misleading advertisement, more money will be dedicated to providing financial aid. So with all of this said, I would certainly hope in the future that Associated Students Inc. does a better j ob informing its constituency(you the students) of both sides of the story.

I don't remember the last time I finished 600 pages in a day, but the pace of the plot kept me turning the pages (in spite of reading all the footnotes), and I just had to finish. Admittedly Crichton's characters are a little thin, but this is a plot-driven thriller, rich in detail, suspense, twists, turns, and 'can they really do that?' action. As a student of biology/ecology I was especially interested to read Crichton's interpretation of the data regarding global warming, and he didn't disappoint (though I'm guessing he may be joining the Salman Rushdie Club for famous authors threatened as THE PRIDE in Dan Brown's know about global warming via a techno-thriller, but hey, literature is loaded with fiction aimed at social change. Perhaps to avoid the infidels club, Crichton illuminates his non-fiction conclusions regarding global ^ ^ U warming data in an Author's Message at the end of the book, and offers an editorial entitled "Why Politicized Science is Dangerous" that is also enlightening and speaks to the author's motivation. An extensive annotated bibliography gives readers plenty of information to research the issues raised in the novel. The annotation for Peter Huber's book "Hard Green" has me thinking he may have been lX0VSi the basis for Crichton's smarty-pants Kenner characx ter, so I'm going to start there. killed by it), but the point is to THINK "State of Fear" is a fun read and not accept everything you with a terrific plot that will read as truth. Some will find make you think twice next it ironic that a popular author time some talking head tells is asking you to think twice you the sky is falling. Enjoy! about what you think you infidels.) The arguments are pretty one-sided with Ph.D.s arguing with actors or socialites about the science, and I will personally take issue with worshipping at the altar of the cost-benefit analysis (my husband was _ "Angels & Demons" BY ANDREA MORALES Pride Staff Writer Robert Langdon, a worldrenowned Harvard symbologist and expert on ancient societies, is awakened in the middle of the night by a phone call emanating from a Swiss research facility, summoning him for an immediate departure to Geneva. And so begins the story of "Angels and Demons," another best seller by Dan Brown, author of the "The Da Vinci Code." Langdon is asked to analyze a mysterious symbol that has been seared into the chest of a murdered physicist. Once Langdon arrives, he discovers evidence of the inconceivable: the symbol belongs to an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati, the most powerful known underground organization. Langdon is asked to help solve the murder. The Illuminati brotherhood is feared to have resurfaced to carry out a legendary vendetta against their most hated enemy — the Catholic Church. Langdon agrees to help, and soon discovers that the murder victim has a daughter, Vittoria Vetra. Langdon jets off to Rome to meet up with Vetra. Vetra, a beautiful and mysterious Italian scientist, meets Langdon in Vatican City where their worst fears are confirmed. On the eve of the Vatican's holy conclave, a messenger of the Illuminati announces they have hidden an unstoppable time bomb at the heart of Vatican City. Both Langdon and Vetra embark on a frenzied hunt through sealed crypts, burial chambers, closed cathedrals, and the most secret vault. Langdon and Vetra follow a 400-year-old trail of ancient symbols that winds all through Rome. The trail will take them to the ancient meeting place of the Illuminati brotherhood. "Angels and Demons" mixes art history with mythology. Brown expertly guides the reader through compelling twists and turns using theories of signs and symbols coupled with medieval history. If you are looking for a book that will entertain you with every page, Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons" is an excellent choice.

SIMON For The Pride Such an overload of guilty pleasure and juvenile genius is going to send you running one way or the other, and it should. And I should be able to avoid a copout. But my evaluation is still stuck on whether to use thumbs or digits. I watched from the edge of my seat. I let my mouth hang open. I laughed out loud. But I'm fairly certain it was one of the s tupidest movies I've seen in my life. Now to be fair, I had all those same reactions to the first "Spiderman" and the second "Star Wars" prequel, and they were trying to be deep. "Kung Fu Hustle," however, entangles the line between laughing at and laughing with while giving you the feeling its creator might well be doing the same. Stephen Chow wrote, directed, and starred in this... this movie, and as its tragic, complex, and eventually god-like hero, it's hard to tell which is his strongest field. Every aspect seems a tribute to himself, despite the fact that the will to make such a thing might be his most original asset. If there was one less iota of effort put into this film—if it were not so completely itself—I'd be able to work on a much more scathing review. Still, there's no denying the inconsistency between the Axe Gang's initial (stylishly) stolen style and their eventual descent into bland buffoonish thugs. The use of Images courtesy of Sony Pictures Classics CGI—clearly the point that will divide genre fans—provides more laughs than gasps, and is used so heavily in thefightscenes that breaks from it make brilliant martial artists look like amateurs in a second rate music video. As a fan of both ridiculous slapstick and gory violence, I can say that reminder of what a totalitarian government can do to art. When you don't know what you think, and you don't know what they want, I guess it's good to know we're getting what we deserve. For more information: http:// www.sonypictures.net/movies/ kungfuhustle/ there's a place for both of them, yet kitschy childhood romance and butt gags just don't mix with shooting women in the back and cutting (CGI) alley cats in half.

San Marcos, CA MISSION PARK �16 A &E Tuesday, April 26, 2005 T H E P RIDE kHon BY THOMAS F. GORMAN III Pride Staff Writer Located on California's Historic Pacific Coast Highway, Hon Sushi presents an opportunity for CSUSM diners looking to indulge in an aesthetically pleasing culinary delight. Dinner at the sushi bar begins with a refreshing bowl of baby cucumbers topped with a light dressing made of vinegar, sugar and salt, and is accompanied by a bowl of lightly salted sugar peas. After a few beers and couple shots of hot Sake, the entrées served by Hon Sushi's head c hefs understudy, Jun Jung, were eatables delectable enough to turn the mostfinickyeater to glutton. The first entrées served consisted of regular cuts of salmon and albacore sushi. The salmon is elegantly garnished with a mini palm tree made of carrot and topped with cucumber fronds. Albacore is served with lemon wedges and wrapped with ginger leaf giving the dish a delightful appeal. The cuts of fish are fresh and full of flavor, but are not overwhelmingly fishy for those scared of raw cuts offish. The two-piece regular sushi cuts run between $3 and $6 dollars, which is reasonable considering the flavor and artistry the dishes provided. Remaining entrées sampled consisted of a colorful assortment of rolls beginning with the cucumber paradise roll. The cucumber paradise roll is a delicious roll with mild flavor consisting of an inside made of tuna, yellow tail, salmon, crab meat and asparagus. The roll is held together by a thin layer of cucumber wrapping. The cucumber paradise roll is paradise for the taste buds, but is difficult to fit in your mouth due to the size of the roll. The cucumber paradise roll is a six-piece roll that can serve as a meal on its own and costs $6.95. The next roll sampled is a specialty roll known as the volcano roll. This was my first time >J -li -I sampling a volcano roll and I was pleased. The volcano roll has a crab meat, cucumber, and avocado inside, topped with baked scallops. The baked scallops are then garnished with black fish eggs and shavings of green onion. The baked scallops melted and the black fish eggs popped every time they hit my mouth providing an exciting bating experience. Presentation of the volcano roll was nothing short of spectacular as the roll is served in a decorative boat made of carrot and cucumber. The volcano roll is an eight-piece roll costing $11.95 and is worth every penny. The volcano roll is a definite must for the first time visitor. Then the Hon roll #2 was sampled. The Hon roll #2 consists of an inside containing tuna, salmon, shrimp tempura, crab meat, onion, green onion, and masago. The roll is then held together by an outside layer made of soybean paper. The presentation of the Hon #2 roll is not the most colorful, but is a clean looking roll with flavor to back it up. The combination of shrimp tempura and crab meat is a gratifying combination for any palate. The Hon roll #2 is an eight- • y Photos by Thomas F. Gorman III / The Pride (From upper left) Salmon with palm tree garnish, albacore wrapped in ginger leaf, cucumber paradise roll, volcano roll, Hon roll #2 and caterpiller roll. piece roll and is moderately priced at $8.95. The meal ended with a bang as an animated-looking caterpillar roll consisting of an eel and cucumber inside was served. The outside of the caterpillar roll is decorated with artful pieces of avocado, octopus eyes, and carrot antennas. The caterpillar roll is must have for those with children, or for those who wish to feel like a child again. The flavor is amazing as the tastes of the avocado and the sweetfleshof the fresh water eel combine Ki forming a truly unique dinning experience. Hon Sushi is located at 1733 S.

XI NO. 27 Students protest cuts BY TOM PFINGSTEN Pride Staff Writer Hundreds of students f rom San Diego County marched through downtown last Monday as p art of a statewide walk-out in protest of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's proposed budget cuts. Official police estimates counted 750 students in the crowd, which marched f rom San Diego City College through the Gaslamp district to the state building on the 1300 block of Front Street. B efore t he march, protestors on the lawn in f ront of City College chanted and waved signs as organizers detailed the anticipated e ffects of the governor's cuts over a public address system. A similar gathering took place a fter the march in f ront of the state building on Front Street, w here six student government representatives, including one f rom CSUSM, went inside to speak with state officials. In addition to Cal State San Marcos and San Diego State, students f rom UC San Diego and several j unior colleges also attended the rally, chanting call-and-response slogans such as, " What do we want? Stop the cuts! W hen do we want it? N ow!" Passers-by stopped to listen and waiters came out of their restaurants as the noisy crowd worked its way down Market Street.

Other campuses participating in the walkout were UCSD, SDSU, Miramar, Mesa, Southwestern, and San Diego City College. Out of roughly 7,000 students at CSUSM, about 150 applicants signed-up t o o ffer their support, but only 20 students actually showed up "get on the bus", according to Associated Students, Inc. Vice President of External A ffairs, Eric Roper. " I saw an ad in The Pride, but there is not much you can do in the end of the semester," said Robin Willcott, h uman development senior. " If I didn't have to go to class, I would have definitely supported." The protest lasted f rom 9 a.m. until 4 in the a fternoon.

"Although more people should have participated in the protest, without those people who went, nothing would change," Nelson said. Dr. Liliana Rossmann, professor of communications, acknowledged the walkout and stressed the importance of the budget cuts especially when concerning the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP). "If EOP gets cut, there will be less first generation college graduates," Rossmann said. "These students are a key component of our student body, unfortunately only a handful of students went on the bus." "I encourage and support student's rights, exercising their power to protect the cost of education and promote positive and safe activism within their campus community," EOP coordinator, Parisa Soltani said "I couldn't go to the protest because I had to work and go to class," ASI College of Business Representative elect, Kelli Klopf said. ASI President and CEO elect, Manal Yamout, explained her opinion as to why more students did not attend. "The timing in regards to the academic calendar is off.

Our schools! Whose streets? Our streets!" WALK-OUT, from page 1 bartender pulled the front doors shut. Drawing even more attention to the protest was the police escort, made up of about a dozen motorcycle cops and a supervising officer who walked in front of the procession. Sergeant Art Doherty of the San Diego Police Department said that he was pleased with the protestors' peaceful nature. "So far they've been very wellbehaved," said Doherty. "I'm glad we can do this stuff. This is America, this isn't Iraq." According to event organizers, anywhere from 2,500 to 5,000 faculty could be laid off from the CSU alone as a result of reduced higher education funding. It was also estimated that cuts could force the CSU to reduce Enrollment by up to 50,000 students next year. Other anticipated effects resulting from sweeping cuts to higher education include tuition and fee increases, larger class sizes and the elimination of assistance programs such as the EOP. CSUSM Literature and Writing professor Lance Newman summed up the situation after the march ended in front of the state building: "The effect of these budget cuts is to not only raise student tuition, but to lower faculty working conditions, and that effects the quality of education." He continued, "What happens with increased class sizes is that students, more' and more, are LUNCH: you forced to become passive consumers of knowledge, instead of active producers of knowledge.

O ne of the m ain topics of discussion for the current BOD and BOD elect was the amount of f unds that would b e allocated f rom the p rogramming board to subsidize the ELC. The p rogramming board at CSUSM is the organization that promotes campus life. Of the f our proposed 04/05 budgets that were available at the meeting, two of the proposed budgets outlined the proposed amounts to the programming board. According to the proposed 04/05 budget, if the referendum f ee increase next fall fails to pass, the f unds allocated to t he programming board could cut f rom $90,000 t o $44,584.

Lager was surprised to finally see some school spirit on campus, and to find that it's growing beyond its reputation through events like the International Fair.

Relationships bring us pleasure, as well as pain, and when a relationship goes south, the emotional roller coaster ride that ensues is almost too much to take. There are many different paths a relationship can follow. You meet someone, you start dating, you break up and it's done. Or, you meet, start dating, fall in love, get married, have a couple of kids and magically drive off into the sunset in the soccer mom mobile. In talking to some students on campus about relationships, there are a lot of tragic stories out there. John was in a destructive relationship for approximately two years, at least that was the way that he described the relationship. John and his girlfriend were involved in a one-upping contest that involved each of them cheating on each other with former loves and the random encounters with people that they met along the bumpy path of their relationship. "When she walked in the door at the senior prom, I thought she was going to faint," John said. "I told her that I was going to just chill with friends, after she informed me that she was going to go with her ex-boyfriend. The look on her face was priceless to see me there with a date having a great time, or pretending to anyway," he said. The second year of the relationship was coming to an end when John was informed that he had been accepted to a university not close to the town where they lived. "It was raining and I can remember getting out of the truck and just sitting there together smoking when I told her," he said. The best thing that he ever did was to "get outta Dodge," leaving her and the relationship behind. The promise of a new beginning was enough for John to realize that what he had to do was start his life over in a new place without any of the emotional strain that he was dragging around. John accomplished just that and met someone else a couple of years later. They plan to get married in 2005. Lisa's relationship lasted six and a half years and an engagement was on the horizon. Lisa and boyfriend were high school sweethearts and met when she was only 15-years-old. A fter turning 21, Lisa introspectively thought about the direction the relationship was heading; what she wanted from the relationship and the reality of the relationship were different things. There were issues involving drugs and alcohol in the relationship that her partner was not willing to work through, so Lisa bettered herself and broke off the relationship. She has since met someone new and is happier with that relationship. Chris's relationship lasted about a year before it finally ended. Chris was involved with someone younger and it was clear that they never were in the same place on important issues involving the relationship. "That whole princess attitude eventually was a turn off. I gave, and she took and never gave any- thing back," Chris said. The long distance relationship that occurred after she graduated high school and went to college added to the impending doom that the relationship was poised to suffer. In addition, the relationship was so closed off from the outside world, it began to put a strain on the friendships that Chris had prior to this relationship. "She was only concerned about herself, and treated everyone else, besides me, like shit," Chris said. After putting up with the selfishness for some time, Chris finally broke it off. To get through the break up, Chris buried himself in his schoolwork and his job to fill the void that the absence of the relationship had left. Chris is happy now and is involved in another relationship with someone closer to his age. They share a lot of the same ideas about life and seem to be headed in the same direction. Jennifer and her fiance were living together with one of his friends when she began to think about her future and the man she was about to marry. Jennifer's fiancé had no job, no car and no inspiration to do anything but sit around the house. Jennifer relates that he would often think about doing something while listening to music blaring so loud that the foundation of the house, as well as the relationship, were starting to crumble. "Getting out of the relationship was always on my mind," she said. One night after a long day at school and work, Jennifer was trying to sleep and he wouldn't leave her alone. A fter he accused her of cheating on him, Jennifer had decided she had had enough. She proceeded to take off the ring and said, "Here's your goddamn ring back, why don't you go buy yourself a car with it." Jennifer moved in with a friend and is beginning to live her life the way she wants. There were some things that students would agree were good ideas in dealing with break ups. One student put it the best when she said, "Talk to friends, work out, don't drink too much and don't just hook up with anyone to See BREAK UPS, page 5 �BREAKUPS from page 4 forget about the other person." For students who need additionalhelp in dealing with a broken heart, Student Health and Counseling Services across the street from campus, offer brief (usually up to 8 meetings per year) counseling to CSUSM "With couples, most typically, we try to help them with communication skills, becomming more honest or courageous with each other..." Dr. Fritz Kreisler students at no charge. Much of the time a view from a person that you don't know can be more helpful than that of a person that you do know. Dr. Fritz Kreisler, staff psychologist at the counseling center, said, "With couples, most typically, we try to help them with communication skills, becoming more honest or courageous with each other, clarifying what each partner wants from the relationship, helping them decide University Voice whether this relationship is right for them, examining whether Do you have any advice for there are overly controlling the professors on campus? or even abusive elements in the relationship, dealing with excessive jealousy or possessiveness, sexual issues and trust."

Dr. Kreisler also said that if couples or individuals are having difficulties that seem too much to work out on their own, he would recommend they consult with someone they trust, whose view is objective and who respects them. This could be one of the staff members at SHS, or any number of other people.

Williams p ursued t rack until then a mile cool down. This 1980 when h e retired. Coaching t raining cycle is Coach William's Now that my handsome picture accompanies my column, I am getting a lot of feedback around campus regarding topics I should cover. One topic that is constantly being brought to my attention is the f rustration regarding the collegiate athletics here at CSUSM. One common f rustration among students is that CSUSM does not have many collegiate sports, and of t h e collegiate sports that are o ffered are not among the major sports. Not to take away f rom our outstanding track, cross c ountry and golf teams, since they are doing a fine j ob, but those sports are not exactly the 'Britney Spears' of the sports world. Most of u s can remember those times during high school when we went to the football, basketball and baseball games to support the school. We also remember how much f un that was j ust to hang out with f riends while catching a game. Some CSUSM students feel like they are missing out on that athletic competition that high school gave us. " I t hink the f act that we don't have many sports at our school really takes away f rom the college experience," said f reshman Chantal Pasag. Freshman Jade Zwinger said, " I wish we had f ootball. I 've b een going u p to Sah Luis Obispo to watch all of their football games. I have also been to a few SDSU games. Isn't that s ad?" T he point that Zwinger brings up is quite ' sad'; if we want to see a college football game then we have to make our way to another college campus. The lack of support f or the few sports that we do have is of concern as well. Cougar athletes have expressed their f rustration with the f act that there is hardly any support for their teams. Cross country and track athlete A imee Bradley asked, "How do you t hink it feels seeing hardly anyone f rom CSUSM at our events?" Several weeks ago I had that same feeling when I covered t he state surfing championships at San O nofre beach. There was not a single student f rom CSUSM that attended the event other than t he ones competing. I know that the majority of students do not choose to come to CSUSM because of the sports that are o ffered. I also know CSUSM is not exactly a social campus that can b e compared t o the likes of UCSB or Colorado University. H opefully one day our school will o ffer more sports for the students, because sports can do so much f or a college campus. S uccessful p rograms can rack in t he big bucks, dinero, cash, bling-bling or whatever else you call money. Sports c an also b ring notoriety and a wider appeal to the general public, which can b e extremely beneficial f or a university. Everyone ranging f rom cougar athletes to the casual f an h as shared their opinion with m e regarding Cougar athletics. Surprisingly, I do not have all the solutions to your f rustrations. The only suggestion I have is for you to support the teams that we do have, even if you don't see them as Britney Spears.

A fterward they went to Balboa Park and listened to a reggae band to reward themselves. They deserve an award f or their organized e ffort at f ree speech. They protested cuts that according to H.D. Palmer, a spokesperson for the state finance department, are due to California's "worst fiscal crisis ever." California doesn't have enough money so Gov. Schwarzenegger and h is associates did not raise taxes and is forcing t he California higher education systems to cut even more f rom their already lean p rogramming. One of the results is raised tuition and fees. Universities and colleges throughout the entire 50 states are experiencing the same thing. But students in California pay less f or school than the vast majority of other universities in the country.. Students in California pay 21 cents to the dollar to r un the CSU system, Palmer said. Recently student f ees f or t he CSU j umped 30 percent since 2003 and another 10 percent is expected for 2004-2005. The "Student Charges & Financial Aid 2003-2004"survey, conducted b ylhe National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges (NASULGC), reported that national resident undergrad tuition and f ees increased by 13.9 percent f rom the 20022003 academic year. Graduate student fees increased by 11.5 percent. It is the "largest single-year increase in more than a decade" the report stated. A nd American students a ren't alone in their tuition increases, it's happening worldwide. But one disappointing e ffect f rom the cuts, f or California anyway, i s the termination of Educational O pportunity and Outreach Programs. These are necessary tools to recruit and aid students f rom underprivileged backgrounds. These students whose parents didn't go to college, who don't make enough money, and don't know how to send their intelligent children to college, need the opportunity to step u p because above all, they are people who deserve a chance. We need these students in the system f or themselves and f or the state. Another r eport by the N ASULGC states that f or every dollar invested in higher education, there is a five dollar r eturn to t he economy. But t hat's not going to happen if colleges throughout the state shut down their p rograms and limit education. A representative f or Chancellor Reed, Clara Potes-Fellows, said, "it is a very strenuous and delicate negotiation process." The Governor, the legislators and the Chancellor all want t o go in their own direction. She said we can expect less classes due the cuts, so that tells how the negotiations are going. B ut Palmer would not comment on t he f uture of h igher education in the state. He said it depends on state revenues and on what revisions have b een m ade f or t he M ay budget proposal. So while t he C alifornia state d epartment of finance work w ith the Governor, CSU b oard of t rustees, and other state agencies on c rafting t he May budget, several h undred Southern C alifornia students decided t o express t heir f rustration over t he peel b ack of state f unding. T hey all j umped on a b us yesterday t o storm t he G overnor's o ffice in San Diego. T hen they all went to listen t o a reggae b and. Well nice t o k now we still have t he f reedom of t he first a mendment in San Diego. Eric Roper, w ho helped p lan t he event, said it would t ake a lot more t han a f ew h undred students m arching to have a n influence on t he state legislators. A ll t he state employees c urrently c rafting the budget a re in such hectic environment to finish it, that who knows if t hey'll give more than a couple seconds notice to t he news of student protests. Potes-Fellows said, if the students make themselves heard then legislators and the governor will realize that someone is s uffering when they apply budget cutbacks. A nd t hat's what it takes — pro-active people t aking a stand f or what they believe in. Compliments to those w ho c ared enough to practice their right to f ree speech and o rganized protest yesterday. You a re all heroes of the CSU system, a nd of t he A merican legacy. Appreciating knowledge as our professors' s ift R v T A S O N ROBBINS By JASON R ORRTNS: Pride StaffWriter who distribute knowledge the most effectively.

I later came to the conclusion that he i s j ust supersmart. In addition to his seemingly paranormal understanding of events, I must also recognize Dr. A rnade's passion f or teaching. I recall one slideshow about the architecture of Cathedrals in Europe; a topic one may regard as bland. Well it was not bland to Professor A rnade.

Since the store opened in 2003, w e have been attempting to get copies of book requisitions from the university, to no avail. The university's position is that Aztec Shops, because of its legal structure, is not subject to the California Public Records Act, which opens the business of its public institutions to citizens. This, despite the f act that it allows the o ff-campus store at San Diego State, where it also operates the oncampus bookstore, access to its requisitions. This, despite the fact that state universities all over California routinely hand over requisitions to their off-campus competitors. This, despite the fact that Cal State's bookstore and university allow other members of the public - namely, publisher's representatives - to view the material it denies us. I have a few problems with this treatment. First, Aztec Shops is an agent of the university and should be subject to the same legal strictures. If they outsourced their personnel management to a foundation, would they be exempt from labor laws? Second, and more important, should a public institution be in the business of stifling competition so that it can charge higher prices f or its books? Who benefits.. .the students who p ay higher prices f or their books? The community, who loses a taxpaying business? Thirdly, why should w e b e singled out f or p oor treatment? Because w e're new? Because Aztec Shops and C SUSM think they can drag their f eet until w e disappear? I wanted the student community and public to b e aware that perhaps the Cal State San Marcos administration and its agents may not have the best interests of students and public in mind. From m y perspective, at least, there appears to b e another agenda at work. Sincerely, John Kilby Manager, Discount Campus Books Vote to get George Bush out of office reported "Bush has spent all or part of 500 days in office at one of his three retreats, or more than 40 percent of his presidency." This is only a partial list of shortcomings. Admittedly, Mr. Bush does not like to read newspapers or watch television. Perhaps if he did, h e might have a clue as to domestic or world opinion— if he even cared. Students and citizens, I humbly ask that you consider these critical issues and our future; and please— please vote. I am certain our fragile democracy needs your involvement now more than ever.

One section that did, however, prompt questions was the Letter To T he Editor section on the opinion page and the exchange between t he participants who submitted letters. Some readers expressed concern that t he letters went f rom voicing c oncerns over t he ASI elections t o personal battle between Erik Roper and Austin Myers. Other readers thought that t his t ype of exchange was out of place in The Pride. In the name of ART we are being tricked into accepting works that teach new inventive ways to abuse, torture and mutilate the female body. A picture frame contained three photographs. One of a middle aged woman naked and using a hand held electric beater to tantalize her breast. The other two photographs were of young girls also using tools in inappropriate ways.

A look at three artistic organizations at CSUSM B y K YLE OTTO Pride Staff Writer The vivacious spirit of A ztec dance, the passionate p oetry of t he exquisite Spanish tongue, and t he unquenchable fervor of t he young author's imagination are but a f ew colors in the collage of artistic student organizations h ere at CSUSM. Ballet Folkorico Mixtlan P erforming lively dances f rom t he various Mexican states of Jalisco, C hihuahua, and Veracruz, as well as of the Prehispanic A ztec tradition, the student organization, Ballet Folklórico M ixtlán, hesitates at nothing t o b ring t he culture of the Mexican people to t he stage. Vice President of Mixtlán, Rosa Balcazar, remembered visions of her youth, as a little girl in Mexicali, saying, " The people love to dance, they love p arties, they love life, and it's expressed in the music and in t he dance. It reflects back on the people, the culture, on the beliefs, and the lifestyles." Founded in 1999, Mixtlán, its name meaning "People of the Skies," employs its talent for a variety of events, surviving its bustling September p erformance schedule d uring the month of Mexican Independence, as well as f or the May celebrations of Cinco de Mayo, d uring which the club hosts d ance p erformances, sharing the history of their a rt with curious crowds. The organization unabashedly flaunted a brilliant flurry of vibrant red, yellow, orange and white t wirling d resses at the Student Leadership Awards Night h osted by ÁSI last Wednesday evening, and again at the boisterous international f air on Thursday. By attending workshops at San Diego State University, and three-day conferences hosted by Ballet Folklórico companies, such as Panzantes Unidos, in the San Diego area, Mixtlán strives to achieve its goal, as articulated by Balcazar, to "learn about Mexico, through its music and folkloric dance performance, and to create social awareness that educates people about Mexico's history, a rt and culture." Garabatos Likewise b ringing the art of the Latino heritage to CSUSM, the student magazine, Garabatos, invites students f rom the Spanish department and beyond, to let their voices soar with poetry, short stories, essays, and academic work, all published in Spanish at each semester's end. A s President Maria Acuna explained, the organization's name, Garabatos, means " The Scribbles." She said, "We thought it was a good title for the magazine, because i t's what we do. It is the first writing, t he first thing that any person could have a dream to b e a writer, to be a poet. The first thing that we t hink is good comes f rom our heart, f rom our minds." Beginning in 1999, the magazine, an official student organization in 2004, has provided a unique avenue for experimenting authors within the writing classes of the Spanish department to contribute those o ffspring of their hearts and minds. "First they write in the classes, but some students have the passion to write - and who knows, maybe that student who never thought about it, maybe one day will b e a good writer. T hat's one of the visions that I have - giving everybody the opportunity to t ry to do something with their minds and their spirits - to put it in words, and see what happens," said Acuna. Like Mixtlan, Garabatos extends its a rms t o embrace the campus through events such as the annual Dia de los Muertos festival, f or which it has, f or the past two years, hosted a creative writing table f or "anybody who wants to come over and w rite Calavaritas - p oems, not serious p oems - very f unny, that you can make u p about your boss or f riend - some people w rite about their professors - it's f unny," said Acuna. Also like their spirited dancing compatriots, the students of Garabatos were featured at the international f air on Wednesday, boldly reciting verses of their writings before a mesmerized audience of fair-goers. Desiring involvement f rom t he community, Acuna sees Garabatos as something comparable to The Pride, established on the university, but not confined to campus. "Everybody can come and participate - even if you don't speak Spanish, even if you're not f rom Cal State San Marcos. We don't want to box ourselves in - we want to b e open to new ideas," she said. Expressing her wish for the f uture of Garabatos, Acuna spoke of workshops the club attends with a similar Spanish student magazine at San Diego State University, saying, "To have more quality on the manuscripts, its ideal to have some professional writers to teach us." Publishing Garabatos' newest issue in May, Acuna, a graduate student of the Spanish master's program, shared her commitment to the magazine despite her g raduation this May, saying, "Next semester I plan to give more time to Garabatos, because this is something that is my passion." Artistic Rights: A Writing Guild A s the muses smile upon the enraptured words of Garabatos, so do they grace with courage the very essence of the writers o f Artistic Rights: A Writing Guild, another creative literary f orum here on campus. Co-chaired by the organization's e-zine publication editors Zachary Pugh, Sherre Myers, and J T Vernon of the literature and writing studies department, Artistic Rights is "A writing guild dedicated to creativity, originality, and works of writing, visual arts, multimedia, music, and what not," said Pugh, a graduate student in the d epartment's master's program. The organization seeks talented contributions f rom its 26 members as well as f rom others in the department, albeit with l ofty publication standards. " We're pretty critical. We like s tuff that has edge to it, we like s tuff that looks like it's had critical readership, that it's not a first d r a f t - a polished work, s tuff that maybe is k ind on the roadblock to f urther publication at another time," said Myers, also a master's student in the department. Publishing a 16-page hard copy to ^various states outside California in 2002, P ugh j oined creative forces with Myers and Vernon f rom a class they shared, to initiate t heir guild. "We wanted t o have workshops on a r egular basis; w e wanted t o have people that were serious about w riting that we could interact with in a c ommunity f ormat. We want t o b e able t o actually have something that, when people read it, they say, 'oh, wow, these people on t his publication actually took some t ime t o w rite, they really a re serious about what t hey're d oing,'" said Myers. "We've k ind of w anted t o t ap the creativity on c ampus here a little more," said P ugh. T he heralding call has b een heeded, indeed. Nearly 50 submissions have b een received b y the editors, to b e pared down to merely 10 to b e published electronically. To p erfect their skills to these demanding standards, guild members regularly meet to workshop pieces they are c rafting, presenting their creations to peers for constructive criticism. Coalescing diligent dedication and unbridled passion, these aspiring writers are lent the ears of fellow dreamers, dripping f rom their tongues the words of their most beloved works, in the thrilling yet challenging atmosphere of dynamic, live reading. "People actually came and read their work at an open f orum, and then we sat down and discussed it," said Vernon. The first issue of A rtistic R ights' publication " will c ome out, f ull force, b efore t he semester is over," said P ugh.

We asked some students what they t hink. What's Not? What's Hot? What's Not? "Colors are in and vintage s tuff like 4 0's style dresses with stiletto heals are w hat's h ot."

" Don't copy what everyone else is w earing" and "don't stick to one label m ix and match labels," Michael Washburn, senior. What's Hot? "Converse, j eans, a nd nothing too flashy" and something "ideal for the w eather" What's Not? "One piece b athing suits, no matter what t he situation is," and "Trucker h ats, I a m over it." Laceita A rmstead, senior. What's Hot? "Pleated skirts and belts that look like scarves." What's Not? "Shirts with sayings on t hem like 'No. 1 baseball player' or 'Welcome to Jamaica' and "capris or pants; if you c an't tell the difference don't wear 'em." Kristi Taylor, senior. What's Hot? "Take trends and put a twist on i t" and "whatever your look is own it." Raymond Orias, sophomore. What's Hot?

XXIII N O. 10 S candal a t C SU Stanislaus raises concern o ver a n upcoming Palin a ppearance BY BEN ROFFEE News Editor | S ; See Page 4 CougarJobs A new chapter has opened in the scandal at GSU Stanislaus as • administrators now face allegations of corruption over the destruction of documents pertaining to an upcoming visit by Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska and Republican Vice Presidential nominee. At the center of the scandal is the CSU Stanislaus Foundation, which has refused to make public information about the visit in spite of a drawn out campaign by California State Senator Leland Yee to publicize Palin's speaking fee. The CSU Stanislaus Foundation plans to host a private gala in June with Palin as its keynote speaker. According to the Foundation, the event will serve as a fundraiser for the CSU Stanislaus campus. The controversy mainly centers on the foundation's status as 501c3 auxiliary organization, a privately funded non-profit entity that would not normally be required to reveal private information to the public. CSU Stanislaus has upheld a recent decision to withold the release of the information, citing a clause in the contract with Palin that prohibits disclosure of information relating to the visit. Californians Aware, a nonprofit government transparency Image courtesy of Propeller.com advocacy group based in Sacramento, filed suit against the school last week, claiming the overlapping duties of taxpayer funded administrators in overseeing the foundation make it subject to public disclosure laws. The documents were turned over to the the office of the Attorney General and an investigation on the matter has been opened. On April 9, students were alerted to potentially suspicious activity when several administrators cars were seen parked on campus during a furlough day. Two students, Alicia Lewis and Ashley Briggs, reportedly witnessed activity inside a closed building and saw a student disposing of garbage in one of the dumpsters outside. The two were among several students that had been actively searching dumpsters for documents pertaining to the visit by Palin. Upon searching the dumpster, the students found the files shredded among other university paperwork. Responding to the findings, Senator Yee. said, "It is truly shocking and a gross violation of die public trust that such documents would be thrown away and destroyed during a pending investigation." Earlier this month, CSU Stanislaus denied a request by Senator Yee that documents pertaining to Palin's visit be made public, with its compliance officer stating, "the University has no documents that are responsive to See Palin, Page 3 Abortion topic furthers conversation on campus Associated Students Inc. hosts first ever C SUSM d ebate BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer See Page 5 ^ rts & Entertainment * Poetry Reading See Page 7 Associated Students Inc. hosted their first live debate on the topic of abortion on April 20. The debate took place in Arts 240 on campus during University Hour, allowing all students the opportunity to come. Students who attended the debate received free pizza to watch as author and pro-life speaker Alan Shlemon and CSUSM Women's Studies Professor Cecili Chadwick explored this controversial topic. Each speaker had 10 minutes to make their argument, followed by five minutes each for rebuttal and five minutes for closing statements. Each speaker received prior notice of how long he or she had left, such as five minutes and one minute. The audience was to remain quite during speeches and only react after a speech has finished. Pro-life speaker Alan Shlemon spoke first about abortion and why he feels it should be illegal. Professor Chadwick countered this with her views of why abortion should remain legal. "Abortion is wrong because it kills an innocent human being. So what I've done is argue the question 'What is the unborn?' And I've said, look, if the unborn is not a human being then it doesn't matter whether you have the abortion, go ahead have the abortion. "But if you ask the question... and it turns out to be a human being like you and me, then abortion is killing an innocent human being and that's what's wrong," said Shlemon when asked about his views after the debate. Professor Chadwick is pro- choice and feels this type of decision is down to the individual. "Abortion should be legal because the state should not be involved ifi decisions about what women can and can't do with their bodies. It is widely documented that state interventionism is an inappropriate and ineffective way to reduce the number of abortions in this country," she said after the debate. She also feels this topic needs to be discussed less in public. See ASI, Page 3 Looking to get involved with school, experience to add to your resume, or an extra job?

In one of the rarest events in the technology world, internet users found pictures of the fourth version of the iPhone online last week Apple has a reputation for not revealing it's products early or giving sneak peaks, but pictures of their new device ended up Gizmodo.com after an alleged employee misplaced a test model in a Silicon Valley bar. Given Apple's repumm^ tation, this could have imgf been an accident, and very bad news for the person who lost the phone. If it was an actual model of the new iPhone, I think this was done on purpose. Just as some studios "leak" copies of movies to create online buzz, I think Apple misplaced the phone to gain viral interest.

I think Apple leaked the phone to get smartphone users to wait on their new model. The look of the phone is also very different from the previous three incarnations of the iPhone. This means customers will need to buy new cases and accessories if they want to protect their device. This leak gives third party companies a chance to have these accessories available on the release day of the new iPhone. While there are plenty of new Image courtesy ofghmodo.com specs to discuss on the new model, which can be found all over tech websites, the most important factor that people found on the leaked model was the microSIM card. Most phone companies around the world use the standard SIM card to provide a phone with its number and give it service with a provider. The use of the microSIM means hackers cannot unlock the new iPhone to work on other networks that use SIM card, such as T-Mobile. This also means that Apple will stay with AT&T as sole carrier of the iPhone in the US. f I think this also debunks any rumors that the iPhone will go to Verizon. Tech critics and bloggers have bashed Apple's partnership with AT&T. The demand of the iPhone has strained the AT&T network, but it appears the fourth version„will s taj with the same carrier.

The discovery of the shredded documents following a denial by the administration that such documents existed has raised questions as to whether or not the destruction of the documents was intentional. Senator Yee has been at the forefront of an effort to make CSU operationgs subject to greater oversight, specifically targeting 501c3 foundations found at CSU campuses. "Found within the same files as regular university business were financial statements and documents of the CSU Stanislaus Foundation demonstrating From ASI, page 1 She said, "The fetus and the woman are one person and that one person is the woman. In order to give women control of their bodies we need to stop using them as a battleground for this debate and allow all decisions about their bodies to be made at their discretion." During the debate, both speakers were able to agree that they wanted fewer abortions but differed in how that is accomplished. Alan Shlemon wants fewer abortions because that will mean less "innocent" human beings from dying. Professor Chadwick wants religious restrictions on contraception lifted and women that the foundation is operated by taxpayer-funded employees within the university itself," said Yee. How can they possibly claim that no tax dollars are being used for the Palin event when state employees are called in on their furlough day to help avoid public scrutiny?" Though the precise fee for the visit could not be determined from the confidential documents, Senator Yee and others estimate it could be as high as $100,000. The documents did reveal several other stipulations, however, including first class airfare and luxury accomodations for Palin. CSU Stanislaus President responded to the allegations, educated better about sex. They also both agreed that abortion is acceptable when it threatens the mother's life; this means a without an abortion, the mother will die and the unborn as well. The debate finished with audience members' questions asked to the speakers who had roughly one minute to respond. Alan Shlemon was asked about his views on abortion in the case of rape. He responded by saying rape was not a justification for abortion as a small child conceived through rape would not be killed after it was born, so he wonders why an unborn should be killed as they are the same. The debate ran in a civilized manner. The speakers mostly kept to their time limits and the saying, "we welcome the investigation and Expect it will clarify how a foundation document could have ended up in a state senator's hands " Issuing a statement on behalf of the foundation, President Matt Swanson said, "It's a dark day when an entity that's sole purpose I A p i i t p ^ m 9 a.m.-ll:30 a.m. is to raise money for student k AV&gtte student's fPpd services and university programs ^ ^ K ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ R ^ a n d 11:30 is falsely accused of wrong-doing. ja.rh. on the 17 and 18.

"I thought of doing a debate the moment I was told that the event that I was required to host didn't have to be just another meet-and-greet," she said. On the topic of abortion, she said, "We chose abortion for many reasons. It is a very important t opicjo many people. It was suggested by students." There will be more debates to come, although when and on what topic unclear, future discussions could include the topics of gay marriage and lowering the legal drinking age, according to Schmidt. $ij|WPD, meaning both giWitif^ a | j | e thlWhey are b otl|i|^|pti April I f 11 p.m. . „ j ^ S X ^ UPD officer stopped j naf|j iir ttWijit^; Sohnwn Ihe tm^lc his glov^ boi flip •.

The student can be recorded for the price of three-dollar, the cost of the DVD, so that the counselor can coach them on how to improve their conduct, and content for their actual interview. The counselors will tailor the mock interview to specifically fit the student's needs, such as if they were interviewing for a teaching credential, graduate school, or a particular job. The interviewee should not only research the company and the position they are applying for, but also themselves. The United States Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook lists under preparation, that the interviewee should "Be ready to answer broad questions, such as 'Why should I hire you?' 'Why do you want this job?' 'What are your strengths and weakness?'" Pam Wells suggests that the student should take the time to write out at least 10 adjectives that a supervisor would use to describe them, as well as writing down strengths with specific examples. The Occupational Outlook Handbook also suggests asking questions about the position and the organization while avoiding questions involving salary or benefits of the job. Pam Wells' statement concerning researching, was that "There is so much information out their, if you don't get as much information as you can about the company, about the program, about the specific job, it translates to your not that interested in that position." By analyzing the job description the inter-, viewee can also better tailor their interview questions and examples for that particular job. When it comes down to the interview, as stated by the Career Guide provided by CSUSM, the introduction is very significant because it "establishes a rapport between you and the interviewer.. .it proImage Courtesy of thejobexplorer.com vides, jthe interviewer with a first impres- the interview is by taking advantage of the mock interview program at the Career Center here on CSUSM campus in Craven A lackluster interview can cause some Hall.

If a student wants to partake in a mock to organize their thoughts and practice for sion through your appearance, manner, and personal energy^ The interviewee should give a strong handshake; make eye contact, and politely addressing the interviewer while using proper English. It is important that the interviewee be energetic. Pam Wells suggests that if the interviewee has the opportunity to pick their interview time, they should schedule it for when they're at their best. If they are a morning person then they should try to have the interview then. Proper attire can be crucial to an interview even if the job they are applying for only requires casual attire. CSUSM's Career Guide makes an insightful statement, "Remember, appearance is not just the clothing, but how you handle yourself." The interviewee should wear professional attire with no extreme colors, and shy away f rom extravagant jewelry or hairstyles because the interview is not about making a fashion statement. For interviewees unsure of what to wear, Pam Wells suggested that they should dress better than what the interviewers would expect in order to make a good impression. Students of CSUSM have a great opportunity to improve their interviewing abilities by going to the event held by the CSUSM Career Center on May 20 called "So You've Graduated Now W hat" at the Clarke Grand Salon from 8:30 to 1:30. At this event an alumni panel will talk about their careers, and give advice to students. Recruiters will discuss the job market in this present tough economy, and give interviewing tips. Students who graduated in December or w ill b e i n May can take advantage of this event through reserving a spot by giving the Career Center a refundable check of $10. Students can still receive f ree Career Center services for three months a fter they graduate, and for only $25 a month a fter that, insuring student's success well into the future.

Tanning has b een around f or years and will continue to b e a summer activity for many years to come, but b ringing awareness to the e ffects of soaking up those rays is essential to any f uture tanner. Many aim to achieve a healthy glow each summer, but the t ruth is that the skin's reaction to sunlight and producing a bronze tan is the skins own n atural defense mechanism against sun damage. Producing natural Melanin, the dark hue in sun drenched skin, is in e ffort to p rotect the skin f rom Ultra Violet (UV) rays. It i s common knowledge that UV rays are h armful, but the issue is quickly forgotten in favor of the skin tone that is p erfect for summer clothes. Alternatives to U V tanning beds and outdoor t anning are easy, quick and better for your skin. . Exposure to the sun can cause many r isks to our bodies that many people are still unaware of. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services over exposure to the sun can result in premature aging, skin cancer, eye damage, and immune system suppression. Later in life, sunspots and age spots can appear giving skin an uneven tone that o ften worsens with age. Tanning beds have also become a f requent activity because of their accessibility and rapid results, but in tanning beds are also a danger for our skin, and have required certain states to impose an 18 and u p restriction for tanning bed usage. According to MSNBC, recent results f rom a study done by the World Health Organization might be j ust the incentive that the FDA needs to ban tanning beds for those under 18. The risks are very real and because none of them are fast acting, many people disregard them. Skin cancer can be considered the most feared result of tanning. Dr. William James, president of the American Academy of Dermatology Association stated that, " What was formerly considered a disease of older men is ballooning in young women, the very target audience and number one customer of the tanning industry." Even though the risks are great in the most common way of getting that summer glow, don't b e discouraged, there are many other methods that are j ust as convenient without the h armful side effects. Spray on tanning has become more and more popular in the last couple of years and the popularity is widely due to the fact that with this method the perfect tan can be achieved all year long. Tanning Salons are popping up all over San Diego and the results are the same, Image Courtesy of Hoobly.com if not better than laying out for hours. Spray on tans now come in a bottle as well and are easily found in any convenience or beauty store. The options available for achieving the p erfect tan without the risks are p lentiful and therg5§ no reason for anyone to contijjue damaging their skin. C S U S M wins R ecycleMania 2 010 a s expected How our campus keeps up with going green trends BY KATRINA KISTLER Pride Staff Writer CSUSM won the national " Grand C hampion" title in a 10 Week recycling competition*: Recycle M ania, which took place f rom January 17 t o M arch 27 of this year. The title of "Grand Champion" goes to the school with the highest percentage of waste recycled on campus. CSUSM beat out over 600 university competitors f rom the United States, Canada, and as f ar away as Qatar to w in the honor with a 71.82 percent recycle rate. A trophy, for the victory can b e seen at the Big Cat Food C ourt on campus. " Our campus was created with recycling in m ind," said Carl Hanson, Recycle Mania leader and the recycling program coordinator on campus. Hanson mentioned the early developed of our campus, growing u p in the early 90s when the start of environmental issues were j ust becoming a growing concern. "We have evolved a great waste diversion system on this campus, it [recycling] was h ere f rom the beginning a nd soon became a p art of our culture." Students involvement make a d ifference, through raising awareness and other leadership e fforts felt throughout campus. "While students come and go, it is their increasing enthusiasm, especially with the rise of the "Green Revolution," which gives the program its energy. There have also been outstanding individual-student leaders over the years that have made a difference," continued Hanson. Hanson feels that CSUSM has always had an advantage over other campuses for the w inning Recycle Mania because it is the e ffort that our campus makes all year long and not only during the Recycle Mania contest. Recycle Mania 2010 January 17th-March 27th " Our recycling rate numbers are consistently high, so we don't have to really 'gear u p' for the 10 week competition each January." w CSUSM has proven to be a leader in recycling because "going-green" is important to faculty, s taff, and students. The f uture for recycling at CSUSM looks promising and the title helps set our campus as a model for other universities to improve recycling e fforts. Other ideas that our waste management division system team is working on for f uture development includes working with food services to increase recyclable, reusable and compostable products, according to Hanson. The team is also looking into developing s food composting program on campus. As a continuous leader in recycling, it becomes a trademark that our campus Image Courtesy of weekly.blog.gustavus.edu community cares about their environmental impact in our community and each make a conscience e ffort to help our environment.

CSUSM closes out its most successful season to date with a 31-13-1 record. Azusa is 17-28 with three games remaining. Prior to the game, CSUSM honored its seniors playing the final home game of their careers: Omar Manzanarez, Ricardo Moran, Chris Skaalen, Travis McCracken, Josh Miller, Mike Pena, McClinton Heil, and Eric Julienne. And on the field, the Cougars, led by those seniors, did their family, friends, and fans proud with an excellent effort to earn a hard-fought win. It started on the mound with McCracken, who was in f ull control for his six f ull innings of work. He allowed six hits and three walks while striking out two, with the only blemish on his record being a two-run second inning. He earned the win to finish the season 7-4.

An event Sunday, April 25 at the Georgia Cole Library near downtown Carlsbad was devoted to presenting pieces from mystic poets, Hafiz, Dickinson, and Rumi. The five poets presenting works from these writers were Ishmael von Heidrick-Barnes, Jill Moses, Brandon Cesmat, Shadab Zeest Hashmi, and Jon Wesick. The poets presenting these works are part of the organization Magee Park Poets, which was started in 1989 by a group of aspiring poets who gathered in Carlsbad's Magee Park. The presenter Brandon Cesmat, a creative writing teacher here at CSUSM, reflected on how events, such as the one Magee Park Poets organized, are vital for student writers because "it's important for students to understand their heritage, and the community that's here." The reading was opened by Ishmael von Heidrick-Barnes reading Hafiz's "The Vintage Man" using steady pronunciation and eye contact, which drove the message into the audience's soul. Hafiz has already stimulated so many poets, such as Emerson who stated, "Hafiz is a poet for poets...He fears nothing, he sees too far, he sees throughout.:." The manner in which Heidrick-Barnes presented the piece allowed the audience time to reflect and interpret the piece as i t moved along. The presentation of this piece made Cesmat's commented on how "hearing pieces read out loud can actually increase the brains engagement" seem completely evident. Another highlight of the reading was the poem "Death" by Emily Dickinson, presented by Jill Moses, which revealed the main theme of mortality, which can be seen in works of all the poets being presented at the event. Cesmat followed by adding movement while he Photo by Mallane Dressel ^ A N T Photo by Mallane Dressel read the poem "The Music We Are" by Rumi. His performance of whirling around in circles across the room emphasized the lost meaning presented in the poem. Cesmat explained how Rumi "inspires people to think past barriers, for example the l ine...The anemones blush because they have seen the rose naked'.. .This idea of not being divided sea to sky, land to sea. He thinks expansively because he's not held back by borders." Cesmat originally started his writing career as a journalist, and changed to creative writing after earning his MFA from San Diego State University. He has won San Diego Book Awards in both poetry andfiction.He looks forward to reading at Grossmont College where they have been analyzing his first book, "Driven into the Shade." He is editing a second edition for Classrooms of Poets established by CPITS, California Poets in the Schools. Through this organization, he developed the program Laureates in Training, a program that recognizes student poets devoted to the poetry writing process, and poetry in the community. After the presentation of the pieces by the mystic poets, the floor was open for whoever wanted to share a poem.

By expanding their audience to people outside of the Magee Park Poets, they will be encouraging younger and unknown writers to recognize poets that should have a profound affect on their writing. This would also cause the Magee Park Poets to possibly be exposed to more diverse poetry, allowing them to manipulate their writing to even greater heights because one of the best ways a poet can learn is by studying their peers' poetry. ^ Are you looking to get more involved?

U Karp shared her piece called "Rumi's Place" from her published book of poetry "Innerscapes," inspired by the way Rumi has the ability to describe the indescribable. Cesmat shared a descriptive piece, "Sliding From Seeds," that was reminiscent of the far-reaching explicit metaphors found in Rumi's work. Through this sharing process, those in the audience that were not part of the Magee Park Poets were able to see how the poets being praised at the event had affected the poets in the audience, but it also made the event feel less open and more exclusive.

W hat does it mean to "go green?" BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer Last Wednesday was Earth Day and the major television studios were all over it. Local and national news shows changed their logos and fonts to green for the day and featured an incredible amount of stories about recycling. Nevertheless, it was all a show. The next day logos were back to the same colors and the news proceeded as usual. The media needs to be wiser when it comes to environmentally responsible practice. Earth Day is only one day a year, but the meaning of the day should carry through. The actions of the news stations perpetuate the trend that environmental concerns are a trend more than anything else. It was difficult to watch news anchors get excited about recycling when it was obvious they were using some reserved fake enthusiasm. They do not need to get so excited about local recycling on one day. Rather, they should stress the importance of responsible behavior. It was deceiving. Just because they changed logos to green for a day does not help the problems. Sure, it was better than not doing anything. Yet, what they did is similar to an individual solving the D arfur crisis by wearing a red shirt. There is awareness, but they really are not doing anything. If a company really wanted to show they are going green, they could do more in depth stories about alternative energy, promoting recycling, and using their power to motivate the people. One of the reasons people do not care about the environment is because of ignorance. This is where the responsibility o f the television news comes into play. Based on the amount of murder and robbery stories covered, one can assume they have no problem scaring the population. If the news really wants to "go green," they need to let people know that failure to care for the environment will lead to our downfall. It is not a trend. It is being responsible and ethical. Miss USA pageant- the controversy of 2 009 BY BRITTNEY COKER Pride Staff Writer T his y ear's Miss USA pageant succeeded in c reating a controversy that w ill outlast the r eign of the newly crowned Miss USA ( North C arolina's K risten Dalton). No, none of the b eauty queens slipped in t heir evening gowns nor had b athing suit m alfunctions — the controversy, strangely enough, o ccurred d uring the interview. Miss C alifornia, C arrie P rejean, randomly selected the question w ritten by Judge M ario L avandeira, the openly gay c elebrity blogger k nown as Perez H ilton. The question seemed h armless enough "Vermont recently b ecame the f ourth state to legalize samesex m arriage. Do you t hink every state should follow suit? Why or why n ot?" Same-sex m arriage a hot issue today and the question c ouldn't have been more appropriate. Miss CA, C arrie P rejean's answer not only o ffended the j udges, but people around the country. She s tated, "We live in a land where you can c hoose same-sex m arriage or opposite, and you know what, I t hink in my country, in my family, I t hink t hat I believe t hat a marriage should be b etween a man and a woman. No o ffense to anybody out t here, but t hat's how I was r aised." W hile I r espect all viewpoints on the issue of samesex m arriage, I feel the Miss USA pageant is not the platform to express these t ypes of opinions. The Miss USA pageant con- sists of 50 c ontestants r epresenting t heir home s tates and c ompeting to r epresent the United States as a whole. As a r epresentative and as a public f igure, one must s trive to r epresent as many c onstituents as possible. Miss CA's answer, although t rue to her p ersonal b eliefs, was not r epresentative of C alifornia nor the U.S. and abandoned her r esponsibility t o the people of b oth her state and country. Additionally, it is i mportant to note that she did not answer Perez H ilton's question. I believe t his whole c ontroversy could have b een avoided if Miss CA had a nswered the question she was given and ended on that note. Hilton clearly asked if Miss CA felt the other states should follow Vermont and l egalize gay-mar- riage. T here w as not a single mention of t he s tates, t heir a bility to d ecide on t his issue, or even of C alifornia's c urrent decision on P roposition 8. It is sad to me t hat Miss CA decided to t ake t his r oute highlighting how d ivided we stand as a n ation. I w ish she would have put h er p ersonal beliefs aside f or o ne n ight and understood h er p lace as a public f igure. We do not live in a c ountry w here you can choose b etween s ame-sex m arriage or opposite (whatever that is supposed to mean), but maybe one day we w ill. Maybe wheji that day c omes, we can l earn to be a n ation t hat s tands united r ather t han d ivided on the b asis of p ersonal choice. No o ffense t o anyone out there, but I w as r aised t o love everyone no m atter what.

Many rumors and speculations regarding delay of the presidential election results ensued after ASI released theresultsof all the other ASI positions.

I am proud of what we did W ater scarcity p anel comes to c ampus BY PRISCILLA GEORGE Pride Staff Writer Thursday, April 23: During University Hour last Thursday, a panel discussion spoke concerning the uigent newsregardingwater scarcity in San Diego County. The panel was comprised of Dr. George Vouiiitis and Dr. Vrvienne Bennet, both from CSUSM, and Mr. Bruce Wilkinson from Water Business. The Political Science Club together with the Model United Nations Club sponsored the event The discussion focused on various factors of water scarcity within our county, including the cost of importing water and what solutions may be possible for preventing future water scarcities. Dr. Vouiiitis aimed his presentation on the general facts of the water cycle, including the process of water inputs, outputs, storage, and climate models. '"Given the low variable rainfall of ourregion,most of our water has to be imported," Vouiiitis said Vouiiitis pointed out that climate models predict an increase in temperature and a decline in rainfall in the western U.S.resultingin less water causing the current Level 2 drought "The Mure looks grim," Vouiiitis added Bennet focused on where our water camefromstating that 54 percent of our water supplyfor2008came from the Colorado River basin. "Southern California is in a crisis. We are importing about 85 percent of our water," Bennet said She discussed the idea of creating new canals and river pipelines for a more direct form ofreceivingwater but discussed how that mayresultas a heavy tax burden to taxpayers. Wilkinson wrapped up discussion by expanding on drinking water statistics such as waterrelateddiseases and deaths as well as possible solutions to this "dry" dilemma. Welcome to the new dark ages Swine Flu becomes potential global health threat BY SANDRA CHALMERS Senior Staff Writer With pirates threatening ships at sea and a new possible epidemic of influenza threatening the globe, some may forget we are living in the 21st century. As of April 26, 2009 reports confirmswinefluintheU.S. "We have five affected states.

He teaches in both undergraduate and graduate courses in the areas of quantitative and survey research methods. Balian was nominated for 2007-2008 President's Award for Innovations in Teaching (a university record of eight nominations). In conjunction with his academic success, Balian has an established career as a musician, photographer, and an author of business texts. "The Pride" had the opportunity to sit down and interview Professor Balian. THE PRIDE: You have an impressive resume. How do you find the time to do it all? EDWARD BALIAN: I would sum it up by saying I use operation management applications in my life to manage my time. It's all about efficiency, planning, and organizing important business and personal elements. Operation management helps me make the best use of my time and helps me operate my busy life, being efficient in their time usage (as in operations management techniques), and having a strong self-discipline—you need both. I believe all people are capable of accomplishing far more than what they think they can IF they really apply themselves. THE PRIDE: On your website, you stated that your lifechanging, first rock and roll record was "Walk, Don't Run" (1959) by The Ventures. Can you describe the experience and how it changed your life? BALIAN: Well, this was before your time. The album was huge. It was a huge record. It's what you would call "surf guitar" nowadays. The drums were so wild and rocked up. I was hooked from there. I was about ten years old [and] the record was like outer space futuristic. From then on, I wanted to play guitar. THE PRIDE: On your website, you state that your favorite bands are The Beatles and Pink Floyd. Can you tell me why? BALIAN: Creativity. They have creativity beyond anyone else, even to this day. With these groups, you don't know what to expect next. They were so captivating. THE PRIDE: What was your first musical experience? BALIAN: When I was about eight or ten years old, I wrote an original piece on the clarinet. The piece was about two minutes long. But after I heard the guitar, there was no more clarinet for me. Actually, my uncle was a concert symphony violinist. All my aunts and uncles played something. THE PRIDE: Was the clarinet your first instrument then? BALIAN: Yes, the clarinet and drums on shoe boxes. THE PRIDE: So how did the GeorgeEdwards Group come together? BALIAN: The GeorgeEdwards Group is a two-piece band. Raymond George, my musical partner in Los Angeles, is the cofounder. Our group came from a four-piece band from Detroit. It was about the late 60's or early 70's. I guess you can say the Edwards Group evolved from the Detroit band, Andromeda. That was before anyone knew how to say Andromeda; it was before the book "Andromeda Strain." THE PRIDE: Can you recall your first concert experience? BALIAN: I was about sixteen. It was a Beatles concert. I was twenty feet away from them. I paid five dollars and fifty cents that was top price at the time. The arena had about 18,000 people. It was a huge audience. This was way before the rock stadiums. It was almost unheard of to have a crowd that large. Back then, that was a giant concert. It was wild. THE PRIDE: How would you describe the sound of the GeorgeEdwards Group? BALIAN: That's the key to our album's success. The reviewers say that our music is unique and different. It's not a like the Stones, Beatles or Pink Floyd. It's like pieces of all those bands mixed together. I would describe it as a swirling combination of those sounds. We were just trying to be ourselves, that's the secret. We were just being ourselves. We weren't trying to fit the mold. Actually, I was told within this past year that our sound is like "Space Rock," a sound in Europe during the early 70's. We'd never even heard of that or had no idea it existed. We have a large following in Europe actually. That's where a lot of our fans come from. I think music is characterized as being esoteric, intellectual, and psychedelic. It's not the kind of music you would hum in your car. It's something deeper than that. THE PRIDE: Do you have any new projects in the works? BALIAN: Yes, actually I have a lot in the works. The GeorgeEdwards Group is working on two brand new CDs. Our record company made a deal with iTunes and we'll be on that pretty soon. There is also a vinyl record reissue being re-pressed. Silversky Orchestra just completed a CD of piano and orchestra music. I am also working on recording two brand new songs. THE PRIDE: So if you could spend the rest of your life not worrying about anything and doing whatever you want, what would you do? BALIAN: Exactly what I am doing right now. I love teaching and I love my students. I want their success and I want to see all of them succeed. I also want some sort of involvement in music and the other creative arts. THE PRIDE: Do you have any last words of advice? BALIAN: Yes, this is an interesting story. The band, you never know what's going to happen next. You never know what's going to happen in your life. Always do your best all the time. You never know what will happen, what opportunities will come, when they'll come. Always, always do your best no matter what you're doing. THE PRIDE: Last question, if you had a superpower what would it be? BALIAN: I would want to live forever, to help others and create.

CSUSM recycled an all time high of 78 percent. CSUSM's Blue Crew and Green Team diligently sorted through the garbage and ^ recycle cans, sep- ^ arating out recyclables from nonrecyclables. CSUSM owes its fifth consecutive win to each and every member of the campus community. From the students who made the effort to throw stuff in the bins, to administration who provided the bins in quantity, to staff who went through old files and trash, to people involved in supply acquisitions who order materials that are recyclable. CSUSM Recycling Coordinator Carl Hanson also personally thanked member of the UniverVillage Apartments for their involvement in RecycleMania. "Special thanks to Brian Dawson and everyone over at UVA for the great help that they gave in their first year of participation in RecycleMania. Their effort was awesome," said Hanson. CSUSM won the competition by almost 14 points above the nearest competitor. Other prize winners include first time entrant McNeese State University who grabbed both the "Stephen K. Gaski Per Capita Classic" and "Corrugated Cardboard" awards. What makes this Louisiana school's performance all the more impressive is that it is entirely student organized. Bard College won the "Food Service Organics" trophy. Kalamazoo College won "Bottles and Cans." Stephens College won a second time in the "Paper" category. Rutgers University claimed the "Gorilla Prize," which is total weight of recycling. The competition is not just a final count at the end of the 10 weeks, there is an ongoing count, which everyone knows and so the lead often changes as efforts increase to catch up, go ahead, or regain the lead.

Of the Tide Courtney Kilian For dinner: apple, goat cheese, onion, omelet. Dissolving peptides, a medicated ritual. Her porch, a smorgas of bells and chimes. Sand dollars, paper weights, stilted birds. She lost her voice a long time ago. Hysterical laryngitis. Family members knew it was her when she called because there was no response to hello other than a tapping of a pen on a hard surface. Three hard taps for How are you? Six lighter ones, two hard, four, equated to a range of other responses. For lunch: an ethereal licking of a turquoise twilight. A beached examination. Curl lipped, pencil straight teeth, bearing them whiter than she would have expected for an animal. Black skin taut as it purpled under the sun, distant maroon spots crimsoning as flies gorge flesh. Bits of shell dug into her feet. Frictions, fissures. Feel of seaweed, a slippery twirl about her leg that let her know she was not alone. Days of putting sunscreen on before going in, waiting a half hour after eating, shuffling her feet so she didn't step on a sting ray, warnings of pee turning purple when mixed with salt water. Sun, synapses, ladled fog. A ballerina punctuated, painted in the clouds. A trembling example of human origami. Of dreams collaged and tides stolen. Neighborhoods with childless strollers. Of umbilical cords tethered to tiny shoes, of pig skins, and fetuses, of a sea urchin's breath, and the tongue of a lantern's single moth. Sometimes she fell asleep in the sand. Other nights she wandered into the tide, hoping it was heavy enough to pull her out.

The feeling is mutual. The rest of the world thinks that squirrels are cute woodland creatures, but I know the truth: They are just rats with fuzzy tails using their cuteness to mooch off dim-witted humans with food to spare. I know the truth. One of the little bastards once chewed his way through my brand new beach bag as I relaxed in the sand, reading Lolita. I would never have known if it weren't for the hot guy who I thought was checking me out. He was actually watching the beast drag my trail-mix through thefreshly-chewedhole in the bottom of my bag. I would gladly have grabbed the disgusting little creature and wrung his neck myself, if it weren't for the raging case of rabies I'm sure he had. Squirrels don't like me. One day I realized how far these disgusting vermin would go, to terrorize me. It was a summer morning like any other. The sun was not yet out, which meant that I could head offto the beach for a peaceful walk, before the crowds got there. I dragged my daughter, Alexa, out of bed and informed her that she'd be joining me. After a short discussion, she relented, and we got to Ponto beach before the sun had burned off the morning haze. It was my favorite time behind the little guy, I started walking toward of day, and I was happy to be spending it with him with my arms outstretched. I was hoping one of my kids. to scare him back toward the bluff and, hopeWe could see an animal of some sort in the fully, his home. Instead, the stupid rodent wet sand a few yards in front of us.

"Surprise me," he says, and she scribbles something on her pad, doesn't even look up, like people say this to her all the time and she transcribes their meaning. It's the people who make it dive in like four cups of coffee to stave off the night air and space, asking you to decide what Taylor sits solitary at his table watching her pour the coffee into big greenware mugs, her Up red on top, white on the bottom, creased below by the fullness of her chin. The mugs are part of why he likes this place even though they say lazy, too lazy to refill you too often. That isOmer's doing. She brings him angel food cake heaped with whip cream. What else are you going to eat at 3 am? And eggs over easy with catsup, just like he likes. She brings the cake first, then circles back dumping her handful of cocoa shavings into the cream. Whip cream the color of her hair on white cake the shade of her skin, no sign of a hairline beginning, forehead ending, what people look like if you stay up all night driving transports for art supplies from state line to state line. In the doorway she reaches up, tearing down the sign above her head. Maybe the Sunday special on angel food cake. It is sweet and spongy in his mouth, sticky and thickened by her handful of cocoa. Heaven is in the details. Every fourth Thursday when Taylor crosses that state line he turns off at mile 543. And one night he is early, still in his cab just past midnight as she arrives, her Valiant chugging up to the unlit side of Omer's Diner. One booted leg steadies itself on the ground while she reaches to the back seat and grabs a karate ghi to cover herreddress. Her pale outline against the dark of mid night startles anew; wakefulness. She has never looked at him directly. Her gaze now is a brief scan against the oncoming light of another rig- eyes like the Malamute caught in his headlights. She stands, cinching the ghi, then reaches down to remove one slingback sandal, tossing it to the back seat and replacing it with an enclosed black platform. The boot up her right leg is fitted closely around the ankle, zipped along the inside of her calf, roundly treaded. He expects her to limp as if she is hiding a wooden leg under that euroboot, like a foot condemned. But she half waltzes into Omer's Diner, a swish of red keeping time to a beat in his head.

I tried to save him," but the tears were already blurring my vision. "How was I supposed to know the stupid thing would run toward me?" We walked down the beach to where the body lay. When we got close enough to get a better look at his face, we could see that it was, basically, missing. His flesh was hanging off his head. It looked like he had met the Cajun Cook and lived to tell about it, at least until I came into the picture. I felt terrible. Still, I couldn't help but think that maybe my attempt to save his life gone awry had really put him out of his misery. How long would he have wandered around the beach, trying to figure out what had given him this splitting headache, if I hadn't come along? Later that night, after I had told the story at least a hundred times, Alexa, Kendall, Dane and Jared called me into the kitchen. I could hear giggles. There, on the table, was my beach bag, the one with the hole chewed into it. A Beanie Baby squirrel, his eyes taped shut with x's, was lying near the bag. Trail mix was strewn about. "Oh my God," I thought. "Who raised these children?" Lori Greenstone for Sale' hang in the windows. As she stops to enter from the dark lot she is a Klimt still life in reverse, phosphorescent light against the kiosk dot and symmetry of too much pattern still alive. "No more angel food cake?" he asks when she reaches the table farthest from the door where Taylor seeks refuge. She looks toward the kitchen and shakes her head. He thinks it is Omer who has put an end to it, Sunday's special still there on Thursday, her feeding it to the truck drivers too old to care. He reaches for the greenware mug before it is set on the table, but she withdraws it, arcing to the side where it now rests, no splash in her, having long since lost both security and certainty. She sets the mug of coffee down with her left hand, walks away one booted foot infrontof an unequal other, a shadow of blue running up herrightarm, fading into elbow under the white ghi. No more drive, he returns to his truck, climbs behind the sojourning seat and lays headlong in a berth of sleep. Tapestries and textures tap, tap, tapping his mind, weaving and leaving lines, electric wires turning blue under his skin, illuminating signs he cannot read. On his lidded screen she is sitting, waiting, wide-eyed but never looking ahead. Her head in her hand, she stares off to the side, her elbow stacked atop her knee on one exposed leg, her chin resting on one warm hand. As if an artist has drawn it too big, then outlined it in red, a line runs down the side of herfleshypalm, a flaw solved, disappearing into the dress. Always crimson, always waiting, he wakes to her image tipping his senses into the day he sleeps through waiting for the night of driving, always forward, always on. Another round of unnamed signs brings him back to mile 543 where an unimprinted '£>' is written on her blank nametag, watersoluble dots on plastic, sustaining a place for a name he wishes he knew. "'D' for Darlene?" he asks, suddenly old, Rumplestiltskin revisited. One finger moves to the T>', transferring off the ink, the protruding shape obliterating her finger blue, a miracle of flesh and thought "Just Dee." The words form in his mind as he stares again at the symbols on the menu. He looks up to see if her lips have moved, but he is unsure. "I'm hungry, but I don't know what. v. What would you suggest?" he asks, her pad poised for his order. She bends toward the menu, the smell of silent snow on age-soft stone. The whistle of a train passing behind Omer's diner inclines her back toward it. Then, "Bring what you like," he says, a wrap of trust and apathy hard-baked in a crust. Her head, turned toward the passing train, nods, and smothered sighs in lines and dots she does not write tap Morse code on his mind. "With nuts," he calls to her. The red slingback is left on tonight, ever so slyly listing to the right as she walks off to the kitchen, her knee halffrozenon its tweedled hinge, manic from the leg down. The food, when it comes, is nutritive communion. Mustard onfrilledlettuce sprinkled with almonds and small hunks of hamfroman omelette withheld, gingered apples by the side, what unhungry people crave. But for him, a venture restored, a difference soothed. Another four weeks out he turns off at mile 543. She glows through tapestried cracks in the window waiting for coffee to pour, to read minds on the menu. A crater on a collision course entering Omer's diner, he hopes to greet her in the familiar, at one of eight empty tables, no booths to hide in. But the quiet of the night that is morning speaks the orders that don't matter, except coffee. Just once if he could occupy her gaze, but still, she looks off to the side and brings whatever she likes, just what he wants. Eager, he reaches for the plate, but her movements circle around his and the plate is down. Key Lime Pie so pale it is white. Taylorreaches to touch herrighthand, the one that holds the pad she never writes on, the words he never says. He hears but does not see their formation, yet he knows the whispered meaning; please don't. It is spoken as a warning, as a Madonna protects from harm, but he can't heed it. He spills the coffee she sets down, stops her hand as she pulls back, quicker than he looks. "Mea culpa," he says, a dreamer reaching out to absence. Her hand, loose against the pad will be cold to his coffee spilled palm, but it is not. It is hot with an iciness that stings until the next fourth Thursday when she is not there. And Omer says she never was. �Tuesday, April 28, 2 009 THE PRIDE 73 C rH D m >O • d D scüC O oC •H CQ g T5 • C -H c O d 73 a ß -H O • ß COW O d 1 M oi tn 73 4 3 o ß o rH cM d rH rQ P co C d O >i c d (C dD C co U D m 73 > rH c 55 C d D u CW O o W •« • -d O 4 3 Cp D ß rß o O •H 43 u Ü H a Q. • 4> C D 1D > () C O O •H x: C O fr 4 3 P 4-4 C D • " VMß C¡ O5 0 u< ü rQ Cm CM D D Cn Üc d ß a) P O 73 O D g -P C Mß 1 u O •H co d Cü D O ( rH C ü rH S O c 0 >i M d UÄ Ü 0 P d) P— UU C D < D •g ßc BCg SD • MCP D U rß C D > C 43 Qo* -H s 4 3 o cd C D cd O O Q Cn ß rQ D Q gO PC o S rß -H Üo O O O •C Q C O >1 Q_ rH C C M QD rH S rH O < P O cd D 4-1 C rß C D Q 1C D g J s d) Q t> ü C cd S C •ß D CS C O rß ü D -O & PQ 4 3 C p u -H c^» rH P cd cd O rß H o -ß 4-3 -H C rß O C Cn 4-) D rQ H -H cd O S -H 73 • C O Ä 4-3 I C D > -H M 73 & 13 </) D Q O PÄ rQ O M CC dO 4-3 CD O Pi < d ft 73 ß cd < ü M PS w S Cn < C C ö CO 7 3 cd (1) -H 4-> S H cd 4-4 O •H 4-> 73 C C cd D g5 >i P rH o rH >1 cd u pu 4-3 C D > cd ßC D •C D d C P gc D > M o 4H M cd cn P co C O 4-) <C DO -H 0) N -H Pß Cß O •H D 73 < X O C 4-3 C D 4-> 4-3 cd • ß »H C O -H P 4-4 0) C D 1 - > -H +4 cd -H 73 p 0 Cn o1 rß O rß M • C C Q cd D >QM rß C oC o pO o CO • (D g -H -P J £ ü cd •H rQ 0« » ^0 P ß -H C rH D g < D M> (d -h rH Cr» O oc d CD CD CC DD MO -H O D ß w C 0l< . • U P 4-4 -H •P P I <[ W I P Q • • • • • d) rß 4J cd o -H M CD • • • • O P S r* OO ßCCP S cd rH O Cd >1 O d) • • • •I Cn I •| O D O DO o C T3 T5 C C C >i C •ß C O D ß 4-3 Ü rH O C ß > m j a (D H t P ,Q Ü 73 C -H d) cd O d cd co g ß -H (0 g P -p cd ß Q •H H > (d S O cd U M U C fp • -H M M C O fi iU d 03 -H S cd fr o >i CO (ü 4-> 4-3 «H D T3 ß < 04u 0) o rC C D * PC.

MOGIL Pride Staff Writer A week without a plan, movies all over the map, and the result is a week with t hree very enjoyable f ilms. Would you believe a Chinese Will Smith? Film number two is an u pdated movie by an old time comic. You w ill when you see t he f irst selection. Finally we take a look at an old cult classic comedy. So sit back and watch some movies f illed with ups and f ree of downs. "Ping Pong Playa" stars Jimmy Tsai as Christopher ' C-dub' Wang as a young adult who d reams of playing in the NBA yet he j ust d oesn't seem to have what it takes to make it h appen. While he claims g enetics have l eft him two inches short of his d ream, the r eality is that his l aziness is k illing any hopes he may have. His b est f riend D.B. is the only one willing to drown his u nrealistic NBA dreams and force C-Dub to accept his lot in l ife and begin doing something with it. The Wang f amily seems like a t raditional Chinese/ A merican f amily, and in t his f ilm, the f ather r uns the f amily " Ping Pong" supply store while the mother teaches p ing-pong at the local community center. C -Dub's " perfect" older b rother is a doctor and champion ping-pong player. W hile out g oofing o ff with D.B., C -Dub's antics lead to a car w reck. In the accident, his b rother and mother are mildly i njured. C-Dub, with much reticence, f inally takes his place in the family and f ills in for his mother's classes and f or his brother in the pingpong t ournament. In this f reshman f ilm, Tsai is both the w riter and lead actor. He plays it safe and keeps e verything down the middle of the road. For a f ilm with l imited r isks, there is a very nice reward in the f inal p roduct. If you close your eyes f or a moment while watching t his f ilm, you j ust might t hink you were watching the "Fresh P rince of Bel-Air." It would be hard to p redict that Tsai will be the next Will Smith, but it is not d ifficult to compare him at t his early stage of his career with Will Smith at the same stage in his. Nice story, nice p roduction, and a very f un f lick. I look f orward to his next f ilm, and a fter watching t his I t hink you will too. What to See *** "Hollywood Endings" is w ritten and directed by Woody A llen, who also s tars as Val, a great f ilm d irector whose career has vanished due to his d ifficult temperament. As a young moviemaker, A llen's humor was hip, c utting, and o riginal. His early f ilms such as " Sleeper," "Take the Money and R un," and " Bananas" quickly established him as an all time great writer, director, and actor. Then he lost his way. Allen began to spend too much time t rying to prove his i ntellectual prowess, much like Dennis Miller, and in the process sent audiences yawning and sleep walking to the exits. In t his f ilm, Allen has come f ull circle, and r eturns to his comedic roots with a very enjoyable f eature. He has mellowed over time, but here he proves that his ability to a rtistically create f ilm comedy is as sharp as ever. This is a great cast, with Tea Leoni as Val's ex-wife. She is tough as n ails, yet still has a s oft spot for Val. The best p erformance is by Debra Messing as Lori, Val's love i nterest. Lori is a slightly dimwitted starlet, and M essing's p erformance, although minor, is t ruly captivating. The one limiting aspect of this f ilm is the demographic. I think anyone under sixteen will f ind nothing appealing in this f ilm. The more years you have put behind you f rom age sixteen, the more this f ilm will touch your sensibilities. There are young adults who will strongly i dentify with Tony "Scumbag X," Val's son. This is a solid f ilm f rom s tart to f inish. What to See**** "The Kentucky Fried Movie" This f ilm was w ritten by rookie w riters Jim Abrams and brothers David and J erry Zucker, and was d irected by John Landis. So what? Well, Landis has d irected some alltime classics such as "Animal House," "Beverly H ills Cop I II," and Michael Jackson's " Thriller." The w riters went on to w rite such classic spoofs as "Airplane," "Hot Shots," and "Top Secret." What t his means is that t his f ilm is the premiere work of f our stooges, and I mean that in a good way. This is a series of sketch comedies as you might expect to have seen on "SNL" in the 70's. The humor is p uerile, lowbrow, and yet somehow s till, a fter all these years* it is very f unny. Whether it is Cleopatra Schwartz, watching a movie in " feel-a-round" (this was made when surround sound was still f resh and new), or "Catholic High School Girls in Trouble" (which is there to a ttract the 13-17 male demographic), e verything here ranges f rom mildly silly to very f unny. There is no r ust on t his f ilm, j ust a nice p atina. D on't be reluctant to dust t his one o ff and watch it. While the episode, "A F istful of Yen," may make you t hink about m artial a rts in a completely new light, overall, t his f ilm will shine a little laughter on your l ife. What to See *** Lisa Hannigan BY AMY SALISBURY Faces and Places Editor Backup singers are, by popular definition, vocalists that could not cut it as lead singers. Every musician or band needs backup support on tour, though I am sure some soloists would love if they could harmonize with themselves live. As such, one might imagine backup singers' careers are as fragile as a single-press album. Off the top of your head, try to come up with a musician who started out as humble support and became successful. Unlikely, right? The Eagles are easily the epitome of classic Americana. Glenn Frey started his career with Bob Seger in 1968. The multi-platinum artist Sheryl Crow toured with the unbelievably famous Michael Jackson. Luther Vandross, soul royalty, contributed vocals with several artists in the 60's and toured supporting David Bowie in the 70's. And Lisa Hannigan gave six creative years to Damien Rice. Now, she has released her first full-length album. Irish native Lisa Hannigan was born in 1981 in County Photo courtesy of americansongwriter.com Meath. She began performing professionally with Damien Rice in 2001, mostly singing with him on recordings and occasionally contributing guitar or bass in live performances. Hannigan also appears on recordings with The Frames, Snow Patrol lead singer Gary Lightbody, and the late Mic Christopher. In 2007, Hannigan and Rice had a "falling out" of sorts, and she immediately left tour to begin solo work. In early 2009, Hannigan released "Sea Sew" in the states. Hannigan's appeal lies in her breathy, ethereal voice. However, in the album track, "Pistachio," she presents her poetic ability as well. The song begins with a simple piano riff quickly evolving into a crafted melody. A jazz bass and gentle drum join the mix, producing a pleasantly folky blend. Hannigan sings, "I do, like sugar, tend toward the brittle and sticky when spun," filling the song with her increasingly powerful voice. The decidedly soothing ballad ends with a swirling cello, closing lightly with harmonious hums. Hannigan and her band are currently gearing up for a UK tour.

The label features a tent nesting by a gentle fire underneath a dark blue star-studded sky as a comet passes overhead in the distance. Desert tan and river turquoise color the packaging. A red bottle cap with the company's name and logo seals an ale with a 4.7% alcohol by volume. The brew pours smooth generating a subtle head. The head dissipates leaving a thin lancet. A beautiful amber hue radiates from the chilled glass. The ale enters with a quick shock. Shortly thereafter, a more sugary mellow yummy tone takes over. The beer leaves a thick coating of tastiness on the tongue. The ale's versatility allows the IPA to pair with almost any lunch or dinner I option.

The highly anticipated "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" is the f irst summer blockbuster of 2009. This f ilm, staring Hugh Jackman should blow away the other f ilms this week. The summer movie season is s tarting early in May with several anticipated f ilms, such as "Star Trek" and "Up" Arts & Entertainment Early in April, a copy of "Wolverine" was mishandled and copies of the movie wound up on the black market. Online remarks of those who have gotten a hold of it are mixed. I expect there will be stunning actions scenes, as seen in the trailers. If this movie can create a balance with the plot, character development, and action, as the f irst two "X-Men" f ilms did, t his will be an awesome f ilm. With the wild expectation of "Wolverine," it could be easy to forget about the other f ilms out this week. The other entries this week are a romantic comedy and an animated sci-fi f ilm. Matthew McConriughey and Jennifer Garner star in "Ghosts of G irlfriends Past." McConaughey plays a womanizer who must revisit past relationships in a Dickens "Christmas Carol" style. This is because he let Garner's character slip away and he must get he back. It seems predictable, but it might be something for those who do not want to see "Wolverine." Lastly, there is "Battle for Terra." I have mixed thoughts Image courtesy of 20th Century Fox about t his animated f ilm. It is arriving in theaters soon. This week belongs to "Wolverine." Hugh Jackman r eturns as Wolverine in this prequel to the "X-Men" series. The loaded cast includes Ryan Reynolds, Liev Schreiber, and Danny Huston back him up. The f ilm explores Wolverine's past and shows how the man with regenerative powers developed his signature claws. It is also loaded with other heroes and villains including Cyclops, The Blob, Sabretooth, and comic fan favorites Gambit and Deadpool. THE PRIDE Image courtesy ofLionsgate Studios set in f uture a fter the destruction of E arth, and tackles heavy humanity issues. The surviving humans set out to conquer a p eaceful alien planet in order survive. This f ilm is loaded with political sentiment and great actors yet the dialogue and CGI-look of the f ilm in the trailer makes me think I will wait until this comes out on DVD. A d ifferent studio, such as Disney, might have handled this story better. Regardless, neither of these f ilms will make a dent in "Wolverine's" box o ffice earnings. The gross f rom "Wolverine" should gauge how much people are willing to pay for movies this summer.

He called such predictions "wild guesses." He explained that the state legislature has not yet pieced together the budget, saying that it is not usually formally drafted until July. Hollingsworth added that sometimes, such as last year, the budget was not finished until September. v Nominations Due for Outstanding Professor AwardARTIN By GABRIEL M By MEG EPPEL Pride Staff Writer The CSUSM College Republicans welcomed California State Senator Dennis Hollingsworth to campus- last Thursday in order to discuss the state's current budget deficit and some possible solutions. Hollingsworth, a Republican who is in his first term of office, represents the 36 district, an area that spans from Temecula to El Cajon. An audience of 15 to 20 club members listened to Hollingsworth's speech, which touched on how the budget will affect CSUSM and how California found itself in this position on the fourth floor of Academic Hall on Thursday afternoon. He also explained the plans that Republicans have for fixing the current budget situation. € S tudents talking to Special A gent Foxworth at her FBI c areer booth.

The second number (28) is the percentage of revenue growth in the past four years. The final number (36) is the percentage of growth in spending since 1999. The rest of his explanation rested on the belief that spending has created this deficit and that cutting both spending and taxes will rectify the debt. Davis was subtlety blamed for the deficit at times, but Hollingsworth's speech mostly was focused on the Democrats' favoring of tax increases, which he believes are not a solution to the problem. Hollingsworth handed out the "Budget Briefs" of the was looking forward to coming back again.

This award is named after a founding member of the Cal State San Marcos foundation board and former CSU executive vice chancellor, Harry E. Brakebill. The award has been handed out since 1993, and has replaced the outstanding professor award. Eight professors have been nominated so far this year. The award is given every October to a faculty member who has made exceptional contributions to their students, discipline, and community. The teacher's record as an educator is considered above anything else, but the creative quality of their teaching, their service to the campus and outside communities, and the quality of their outside research is also taken into consideration. Typically, around 11 professors compete for the award. The nominees will spend the summer compiling a dossier, which is reviewed by the selection committee before a winner is announced in October.

But Diehr y Concern Faculty says that once a program, which increases the faculty's workload, is established, the administration would be reluctant to have it discontinued. Diehr explained that changing courses from three units to four would decrease the number of classes required for some degrees, but it does not decrease the total number of units required to graduate. The increase in class units would come from the elimination of the upper division general education (UDGE) courses. The nine UDGE units would shift to the major courses. Diehr also said that this suggestion is not meant to be applied uniformly because the CoBA already has four unit classes, so there is some question as to which colleges and departments would adapt this model. compensation, Montanari said that each department would make their own decisions and adjust its curriculum so courses would retain their value. *He repeated that increasing classes to four units and eliminating the UDGE were just suggestions, and that unless proposed by the task force, they are only topics for discussion. Montanari added, "Since this is an academic institution, most of the things to make it distinctive have to do with education," and the "changes could be pedagogical and not necessarily have to involve increasing units or changing content." ~ Montanari believes that innovative and distinctive programs would help the university recruit students and faculty as well as attract funding.

They also should help the nominated teacher gather the letters of support they need, as it can be awkward for the nominee to solicit these on their own. Occasionally, a teacher decides not to participate, due to the amount of work involved in compiling a dossier. The dossier, due by the first week of September, is the only thing the selection committee looks at while making its selection. It contains the nomination letter, a statement of the nominees' teaching philosophy, their curriculum, letters of support from colleagues and students, and evidence of their contributions as educators, professionals, and members of the community. The selection committee was chosen through election in the academic senate this spring and is composed of one teacher from each CSUSM college, one part-time professor, one former winner of the Brakebill award, one librarian, one student representative from ASI, and one administrator. The members of the committee are not allowed to nominate anyone. They review the dossiers and make their recommendation to the president, who announces the winner to the campus community during the first week of October. The university provides funds to award the winner. The amount has changed over the years; last year it was $1500. The winner will also receive a wall plaque. All Brakebill recipients' portraits are hung in the first floor of Craven Hall. The portrait unveiling and presentation of the award are held at an official ceremony on campus. By JARED THOMP- staff.

In many classes, at least one student has either had to . withdraw because of deployment or has had a lovedone overseas. Last month, the campus veteran's association set up a table in order to send letters to the troops to show CSUSM's support. This community has used a variety of ways to support the troops.

Hollingsworth explained that federal laws prohibits the taxation of tribes without their consent, and that the tribes could not produce the 1.5 million dollars that Davis attributed to the Indian gaming revenue. Hollingsworth also said, "Davis went into office in 1999 with a record surplus and has turned it into a record deficit." He clarified that Davis did not claim to have a surplus in his reelection campaign, but that the state has had a surplus while he has been governor. Finally, Hollingsworth said, when discussing Bush's taxcuts, that California would have to follow the same movement and commented, "People will avoid tax increases, [and] a tax cut will generate jobs and spending revenues." , The "Budget Briefs" can be obtained at www.republi can.sen.ca.gov U niversity P olice H elp O n-Line a nd O n C ampus By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff Writer find out more about the university police by talking to the on-duty officers as they patrol the campus, stopping by the police department building located The CSUSM university police department offers just off of La Moree road at the very east end of emergency information and reference material on- campus property, or contacting them through their line.

KAPLAN EOE / Drug Test, Physical, Credit and Background Checks required �American Idol or America's Most inWanted connection with a bar fight in By GERALD JONES Pride Staff Writer And then there were eight, after American Idol finalist Corey Clark was kicked off the shoW Monday, March 31. Clark is allegedly being accused of attacking his 15 year old sister in October 2002 and resisting arrest. When producers learned of his misdemeanor charge of battery and resisting arrest they made the decision to remove him from the show. The 22 year old Kansas native, "withheld information about a prior arrest, which had it been known, might have affected his participation in the show," Fox stated. "The producers and the network feel that Corey's behavior warrants his disqualification." The news was leaked to the press by a website called "The Smoking Gun," which stated that Clark was facing trial April 15, 2003 for assault and resisting arrest. The smoking gun website also released the not-so-pretty mug shots of American Idol final- ist Trenyce who was arrested in 1999 for theft charges. However, Trenyce revealed her past charges with the producers of the show so it was not a big shock when the photos were released. Each one of the finalists goes through an in-depth background check in order to alleviate this type of situation from happening. The finalists are required to disclose everything about their past - good or bad. Clark slipped through the cracks because of a typo. The police report that was filed had misspelled his name, so when American Idol did the background check, nothing was discovered about his pending charges. Clark is the third contestant to be removed from the show. American Idol favorite Frenchie Davis was given the boot for posing topless on a porno site that had photographs of underage girls. Jaered Andrews, one of the former 32 semifinalists, was kicked off when FOX learned of his arrest on assault charges Music Lyrics aWs is ba transmittedediumhis M to the masses through t hat eing By JAMAL SCARLETT Pride Staff Writer Neil Young wrote a song once about the true meaning of rock and roll. It went like this: "Hey, hey, my, my, rock and roll will never die! There is more to the picture than meets the eye." This song rings so clearly in the ears of our world, considering that many find their identity in the music they listen to. Whether it is hip hop, rock, country or metal, blatantly obvious or hidden behind a beat, music lyrics as a medium to our social condition has had an undeniable effect on the way we live today. However, what comes to the surface when the lyrics that we hold so dear become dangerous and acted out? When violent lyrical content's relationship to violent behavior creates such uproar, why do we put defunct laws in place and think we have done everything in our power? Yet, kids as young as 5 and 6 years old are showing up to school with guns in their lunch pails. Many rant and rave, not knowing where this type of behavior comes from. It is unabashedly clear that the lyrical content in many of the songs we listen to puts our society at risk. Furthermore, radio stations are keen to understand this concept and to capitalize on the vulnerability of young listeners. Guitar guru Jimmy Hendrix once stated in a Life magazine article, "You hypnotize people and when you get them at their weakest point, we can preach into their subconscious what we want to say." medium gives witness to why much of everything is falling apart. The social construction of the family, our relationships, meanings of love, moral reasoning... where has it all gone? Since the 1960's, we have seen violence, teen pregnancy, and drug use escalate in the United States. Currently there are over 190,000 teen pregnancies each year. Over 10 million teens have tried cocaine, and there has been a 1,740 percent increase in knife or gun wound treatment at hospitals among teens. With the assistance of media, music, and its lyrical content, these factors are not reviled, but accepted and practiced. Videos have become more and more deadly because they are created for you^h and for the appetites of youth. They are produced with the most advanced technological eye-grabbers that weave in the current motifs of sex, anger, and rebellion against schools, parents and police. The events at Columbine High School are a great example of how the lyrics of music affect listeners. Police reports show us Dylan Kliebold, before opening fire, was listening to a song by Ramstein that described going into a schoolyard and killing'students. The song, "Weisses Fleisch (White Flesh) goes as follows: "You in the schoolyard I'm ready to kill I hurt you and you cry out loud Now you're afraid and I'm ready My black blood soils your dress I'm getting more and more excited by your screams .. .hails into my sick brain now you're afraid and now I'm ready! My sick being screams for redemption Your whitefleshbecomes my scaffold There's no god in my heaven!" This being said, the effect of music lyrics are the medium for our actions as the brain is to the mind. Like the brain, lyrics are a physical apparatus. And like the mind, a medium is a use to which a physical apparatus is applied. In addition, the lyrical content becomes a medium as it employs a certain symbol or code (money, power, respect), as itfindsits place in a particular social When asked about their song having such of an effect on Kliebold, Ramstein stated, "There is no lyrical setting. content that could possibly cause this behavior."

Plato once wrote about this, stating, "through foolishness they, the people, deceived themselves into thinking that there was no right or wrong in music, that it was to be judged good or bad by the pleasure it gave... a spirit of lawbreaking!"

We Don't Care Who Men Are, We Care What They Do By SARA COLBRESE Pride Staff Writer his mother telling him to "join the army" because "it will make a man out of you." Kilmartin chooses to use this rhetorical device because he believes that "story telling is one way to make sense of our lives...I cannot tell your story for you, but maybe if I tell mine in a certain way, it helps you to tell yours in a different, perhaps more meaningful way." Among a homey sofa, padded chair, and modest end table stood a solitary man with something to say.

The protestors have claimed that peace is the route to be taken. They have done this a variety of ways including the traditional peace walks and demOTistrations but also through emailing Congress representatives and spreading the word about peace through concerts, flyers and emails. Many of these actions have stressed supporting peace. However, protestors have constantly been stereotyped as hating America and being against the troops. Each protestor has his or her own motivation for wanting peace and many have other interests, such as being active in other groups that are not necessarily peace motivated. Some may not like America and may not support the troops. But a large majority of protestors, especially in San Diego, do not share that opinion. The protestors believe that peace is the best possible way to support the troops, but those who are pro war believe that the protestors are against the troops. We all have friends and family who are serving and many us know of someone fighting in Iraq. Claiming that protestors do not support the military is ignorance. * America is privileged because it is protected by an armed force that consists of volunteers, not draftees. Therefore our troops have chosen Jto protect our nation. Protestors understand that, and they also support a country that does not invoke a draft. It is also understood that a military is needed in order to protect our country, and In the San Diego area, at the right time, to fight it is difficult not to know wars. Protestors do not a person in the military. want the troops to suffer, therefore they support the recognized that veterans troops when they protest receive little aid and it diminishes as time goes by. a war. There are ample examples It is as though the country of this limited aid. One is is sufferingfromthe opinion that veterans, for the past held during Vietnam. It is century, have had to pay true that servicemen who for their disability benefits fought in Vietnam returned without government aid. home to protestors who spat Veterans also wait, on at their service and treated average, seven months for them without respect, often an appointment with their in a very cruel manner.

What those in the service during kind of reward is that for Vietnam were drafted and men and women who were not able to make the volunteer to risk their lives decision to join the military, for this country? and yet were still treated inhumanely. However, we The protestors have tried are not fighting in Vietnam to show that they support and it is thirty years later. the troops while they oppose the war itself. In an article It also should be published in Alternet.org, author David Lynch writes, "Both pro- and anti-war activists seem to agree that we need to support our soldiers. However, the two sides disagree on the best way to do it." It is unfair for the protestors to accuse the administration and pro-war activists of false behaviors and actions and it is equally wrong to accuse protestors of not supporting their troops. Protesting the war does not equate hating this country. A large number of protestors realize that this country enables them to protest. Protesting the war also does not equate a lack of support for the troops. Where's The Booze?: Part 3 The Opinion ByDAVEWERTH Pride Staff Writer It provides me with much needed relief to finally have the chance to voice my opinion on the topic of CSUSM lacking a pub. After going to great lengths to report my findings in a fair, and balanced manner, I felt that it would only be fair to express my own feelings on the subject. It is my opinion that there most certainly should be a pub or alcohol licensed restaurant at CSUSM. I believe that there is a growing desire among the student body to make San Marcos a more social and desirable place to obtain a degree. With the By JOY WHITMAN Vox The Pride I have had a huge lesson in humility and introspection over the past few weeks. Also, with Earth Day having just passed, I have been thinking about a way in which I can help make a difference for the health of the environment. I have been using the public transportation system to get to and from school and walking to work. My car took its last plummet into total despair recently, and since I am independent from any financial support from parents and am not exactly tight with my wealthier friends, it may be a while before taking the big leap into buying or leasing another one. In the meantime, the bus, walking, and getting rides emergence of fraternities, sororities, clubs, and now with the completion of the new student housing, it is obvious that CSUSM is blossoming into a prepubescent social being. CSUSM is slowly straying away from being classified as a commuter school, and is taking its place along side other established schools. Through this metamorphosis, I feel that there needs to be changes that cater to the desires of the student body, and not solely to the infrastructure of the institution. Many students are likely to argue that a pub would not foster a positive tradition, nor promote a hçalthy social environment. For some, a negative impression that a pub may make on the community, is of concern, while others simply just don't want a pub. It would be ignorant for me not to take these opinions into consideration, but ultimately, I would have to argue that I see it quite differently. Growing up in Canada, for the better half of nineteen years, it is remarkable to me that alcohol provokes such a grand level of uneasiness among many Americans. Respectively, it is understandable that many people have had unpleasant experiences with it, on a number of different levels. However, at almost every university from friends have been my I have found this desperation to be rather disgusting alternative options. actually. For example, I As a result of this, I have consider myself and most experienced these bursts people, fairly level headed of inspiration to turn my but I never knew I had such misfortune into something a temper until I discovered positive.

Although it there's TRAFFIC issues, has been an inconvenience which you do not even for me, what has struck me want to get me rampaging the most about being in this on because I won't shut up situation is my realization about it. of how dependent southern However, my argument California is on vehicles. lies more so in the economic Being a native of this area sense of the matter. In order myself, I know that driving to make it more effective, a car is the number one I have chosen to highlight method of transportation to the realities of driving a get where we all need to go. car. First and foremost, it's campus that I have visited in Canada, there is at least one pub, or place, where the students can get an alcoholic beverage. These pubs and restaurants are great places that promote a wonderful degree of student and faculty interaction. Quite often these pubs are historic, and are home to the traditions of the school. In direct contrast, CSUSM has The Dome - a fairly stark haven for weary students that serves mediocre food and supplies a miniscule level of comfort. I have a lot of pride in being a student here at CSUSM, and I believe that this is a great school with great potential. However, even with the incredible expensive. Right now, I think it's safe to say that the average price of gasoline is $2.00 per gallon for 87octane fuel, which is the lowest fevel you can put into your car. For a 12gallon tank, you're looking at paying about $24 to fill it up. For all of you SUV owners out there, you are going to be paying more like $60 for a 30-gallon tank. Now, I am not knocking SUV's because I think they are really hot looking rides but that HAS to hurt when you pull out that hard earned cash or credit card that has you paying more interest than the actual gas. Also, you have to take into account that driving without insurance is against the law. For all you guys out there who have to pay more simply because of growth rate of this school, I feel that there is a certain level of apprehension to move forward, and a sheltering of the student body. At 23 years Qf age, I am not looking to be sheltered or made aware of the dangers of drinking by the school. I understand that the school is committed to helping students make healthy choices, and does not want to promote alcohol abuse to its students. In a previous interview, Jonathan Poullard made it explicitly clear that revenue from a pub would not aid in the lowering of tuition, parking fees, or book prices. However, I feel that is not unreasonable to suggest that the financial infrastructure the statistics that work against you, like getting more tickets and into more accidents than women; that sucks for you. of a future pub could be built with the intention that a percentage of the pub's profit be put toward the building of a parking structure, or toward offering students a larger amount of money for thek buyback books. Although it has been made clear to me that this is not how financial matters of CSUSM work currently, I rebut and say, if the pub isn't built yet, then why not make it that way? A pub would not become a "cash cow" for the school, but more so a way for the school to make money at the will of students, instead of in protest. "chrome" out your cars and do all that body work to keep that ever popular southern California "image" in check, you're spending even more money-whether you can do it yourself or whether you have someone to do it for you. Again, I'm not knocking any of you who do; it's simply a statement. Then you have registration • and maintenance. Registration in California also happens to be one of the most expensive around. In order to keep cars in good and safe working condition, one must maintain them, every 3 months or 3, 000 miles, then you have your 30, 60 and 90K maintenance, tire rotations, new tires, if necessary, making small or large repairs because machinery goes wrong from time to time, despite regular maintenance, smog checks every year, and then everything in between. Now, I realize that many of you have very taxing schedules that require you to be extremely mobile and you cannot rely on something like the bus schedule to get you where you need to be on time. Also, I know that many of your commutes are longer than mine, which do not allow you to take a bus, walk, skate or bike to Then for all of you that See THOUGHT, page 8 �newsletter—how insulting! And I am displeased that I am supposed to accept my powerless position, indeed that we all are; that there is little to nothing we can do about it. POSSIBILITY O F L OSING THE PRIDE Dear Pride Editors and Staff: I am deeply upset about the possibility of losing The Pride. It disgusts me that The Pride is being oppressed and stifled—and may even be forced out of publication—under the guise of "budget cuts." It is time we, the students, start having a voice in the priorities of Cal State San Marcos. Imagine, a student body impacting policy? One might think I was crazy just for suggesting it. The sad reality is that the administration of CSUSM has no interest in the student body, except as customers to be coddled. I am here to get an education and to be exposed to ideas and free thinking ^ and a student newspaper is the very lifeblood of such a campus-wide exchange of ideas. A student newspaper should be able to operate with impunity. The concept of a free press was easy for our forefathers to understand, why does the administration feel they have a duty to impose their narrow perspective and questionable ideals on the only outlet for free expression on this campus? You can't even post flyers at CSUSM without approval. I will stand for such repression no longer, not when it threatens a student run newspaper. So I here pledge to The Pride and to the administration of CSUSM that I will respond to the termination of this vital, necessary student newspaper with all my power. Should The Pride be forced out of print, I will organize a walk-out and/or a protest on school property, and I will advertise such actions and encourage other students to participate. I will contact all local news media and tell them of our struggle, and I will invite them to report on our protest—it will make a story I am sure will hold the interest of the residents of San Marcos and indeed the San Diego community at large. I will write letters to the editors of all the major newspapers in the San Diego area. If such actions fail due to the summer break, I will reengage them in the fall. So I say shame on the administration of CSUSM! To put it in language they might understand: this customer is most displeased. I am displeased that the last vestige of written communication on this campus is being bureaucratized to death. I am displeased that the administration considers I came to this school eager The Pride no better than a to participate in a meaning- ful way. It is a shame I may be forced to create such a stink over something that should never be considered in the first place: ending a school published newspaper. I feel a great deal of loyalty to both CSUSM and my fellow students, and it is for this reason that I am determined to SAVE THE PRIDE!

"I thought it went very well," commented Kilmartin, "especially considering that it's a commuter school and people had to come back in the evening to see it." Commuter school or not, the mass of people cluttered around the display of cookies, brownies, and coffee at the entrance of the theater suggested much appreciation and engagement with the subject. "It was a very responsive audience," said Kilmartin. Although the majority of the audience seemed overly joyful and accepting of Kilmartin's performance, he warns that this is not always the case. People "sometimes say it's male bashing and disrespectful to them," but to such comments Kilmartin's general response is "I don't want to take your choices awayfromyou, but I do want California's Republican party? His persona reminds me of David Duke and his intellect of Rush Limbaugh. His selection to speak at our campus does a disservice to College Republicans and brings shame to our campus. your choices to be conscious ones rather then merely going with the program." Overall, the evening was a success. Kilmartin mentioned that, "Despite the fact that I was very tiredfromtraveling all day, I felt very energized by the audience." The constant uproar of laughter and utter hysteria on the audience's part suggested that they felt the same about Kilmartin's performance. Heads shook in personal testament and hands covered blushing cheeks, all in unison and all in recognition of the honesty in which Kilmartin made his point. "I was leery at first when my girlfriend asked me to attend, especially as it was later in the evening," said Moses, "but I left feeling refreshed and informed, he made some really valid and funny points about growing up as a guy." too, that he had 12 years and -17 UN resolutions to do this...and you still think peace never had a chance? Also, don't trust the UN these days. Any organization with Iraq heading the Disarmament Committee, and Libya heading the Human Rights Committee, has some real knuckleheads making key decisions...like the French. Furthermore, Saddam is gone now, and it makes me sad that you don't celebrate that. And as far as the economy goes, you failed to acknowledge that things started going south towards the end of 2000 (when Bubba was still in office). In addition, you failed to answer my question, "When have the Israelis strapped a ticking bomb to a 10 yearold's chest before sending him/her into a crowded market?" You must understand the huge difference between terror victims and collateral damage victims. When Israel targets INDIVIDUALS who orchestrate suicide bombings, a problem arises that you fail to acknowledge: The way puppet masters of terrorist groups deliberately use civilians as human shields in hopes that we Israelis (and the U.S) won't come after them.

I might have an internship over the summer in downtown San Diego that might require me to rethink my entire systemrightnow, but, until then, I will do what I can. Therefore, I am simply asking you to think about just what you need your car for. Think about if it's all that necessary to drive your car to the store up the street if you only need a few items. Can you wait until the following day when you have more time to do all you errands in one trip? Can you walk to the beach, to work, or to get your Starbucks fix? Do you know somebody that you can carpool with or that can carpool with you? For all of us (myself included) that have griped and complained about that parking fee increase, which will not be decreasing in the near future: think of the money you could save if you could use another method of transportation, or if there was someone helping you out with the cost. Walking is going to keep me in great shape and since a huge criticism of the U.S. is our growing obesity problem, compared to that of Europe, you might think twice about getting in that car to go to the next corner where Burger King, McDonald's, Taeo Bell and KFC and more all wait for your return. I am also put at a little more at ease knowing that I am doing what I can to help eliminate extra carbon monoxide and other dangerous pollutants into the atmosphere by being one less vehicle on the road. I am in no way intending to preach and if I have made any untrue statements or judgments, by all means, let me know. These are just some things that I have noticed and that I wanted to make a social comment on. So since Earth Day was on the 2 2 of April this year and you are all reading this after the fact, let this be a reinforcement that awareness begins eveiy morning you wake up and try to do what you can everyday. * nd � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Protests occurred in various circuits throughout the state. In Sacramento, more than 2,000 students participated in the march. Protesters in Los Angeles marched to the governor's office at the Reagan State Building. Students in San Diego, Riverside and Santa Barbara held similar protests. Lieutenant Governor and advocate of freezing tuition hikes, John Garamendi, joined protesters in Sacramento. "There is no more important investment than the investment in students," said Garamendi in an immediate press release from the California State Student Association. "We must stop taxing our young people, and we must once again invest in the intellectual infrastructure of our state." Also in attendance at the Sacramento protest were Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata, Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, Senate President Pro Tem elect Darrell Steinberg, " Assembly members Julia Brownley and Anthoiiy Portantino—all of whom expressed opposition to the proposed cuts as National Day of Silence: Remembering Lawrence King BY ALEXANDER HAND Pride Staff Writer Friday, April 25, 2008 - Hundreds of thousands of students across the nation observed the National Day of Silence.

"Students across the state are already facing an affordability crisis," stated Dina Cervantes, Board Chair for the California State Student Association. "These fee hikes force students to drop out of school or take on a 20 hour plus work week in addition to their classes," she stated. "Even if we work and go to school, many of us still end up thousands of dollars in debt after we graduate." These efforts aim to convince the governor to revise the budget proposal he is to submit in May.

Naropa was putting up tremendous numbers and we had to really chip away at their lead," said Carl Hanson with Faculty Services. "It took an incredible 75.69% to achieve victory this year. Next year, we'll probably have to go even higher," said Hanson. "It makes mefeelreally proud to be a part of CSUSM and to know that we are number one in recycling," said Junior Business Major BeccaChaney. The annual contest consists of a ten-week long competition. During the competition, college campuses compete nationwide in various categories involving the reduction of waste. With more colleges entering each year, the contest adds categories accordingly. The contest began in 2001 with two competing colleges. The contest seems to double each year. In 2007, more than 200 colleges entered. In 2008, the competition doubled yet again to more than 400 including nearby colleges San Diego State University and University of California San Diego, This year the contest split the event into Whole Campus Division and Partial Campus Division. CSUSM won Grand Champion and others awards in 2007 and 2006. In 2005, the contest contained only two categories. CSUSM almost won Per Capita in 2005 but placed first in Recycling Rate. "We would like to thank everyone who contributed to CSUSM's victory by participating in RecycleMania 2008. We believe that our strength is consistency. We have created an environment at this institution where recycling is just part of our campus climate. It is in our collective culture. We simply need to maintain our habits today and pass on the legacy of environmental awareness to each new generation of students tomorrow," said Hanson. The contest also relies on the efforts of the Green Team and the Blue Crew. The two groups are major components in the competition.

The modern trend is to parody a genre or type of movie and title it as such, but the humor is not clever, thus making the f ilm unwatchable. The producers of these movies are more concerned with profits than making a decent film. Such is the case with "The Simpsons Movie." By slapping "The Simpsons" title on this flick, they conned countless people into seeing this awful film. If one were a true fan of "The Simpsons," they would not like this movie because it is so far of the elements that make the show great.

Reed. Haynes has worked closely with her Executive Council and University Budget committee in recent weeks in preparation of addressing the cuts to the campus community. "Nobody's really saying that there's going to be much of a positive solution for '08-09 and therefore, it's going to take post the national election for some bipartisan movement in this state for revenue enhancement solutions for '09-10," said Haynes, when asked how long it would take before colleges could see progress. "How fast that's going to happen, post the election? People are not quite as confident, so we are very informally saying that it could well be two years before we can right this California state economy." In addition to the budget update, the University Budget committee distributed petitions to each person in attendance and collected them, promising to fax each one to the governor later that day. Concurrently, CSUSM set up outdoor phones and fax banks in Kellogg Plaza for students, s taff, and faculty to tell the governor not to cut the CSU. A .pdf version of the budget update is available in Budget Central at www. csusm.edu/plan/budgetcentral numbers have doubled, so we're pretty happy with the numbers of nominations that we got," said Franklin.

College students typically have a smaller vacation budget, but thisv should not limit f un and memorable vacation options. Careful and thoughtful prioritizing can maximize à budget to make the most of summer vacation. If a vacation includes a foreign country, a passport will be required as verifiable identification, so have a valid passport available well in advance of the travel date. There are many low budget vacation activities available—with some creative thinking it is easy to make a summer trip into a memorable event. 1) Road Trip One choice is the idealistic "road trip." It may sound unoriginal—and there are certainly cons to this because of rising gas prices—but a road trip is a great way to stretch out a budget. Try offsetting the cost by gathering a group of friends to share the price of gas and alternate driving. There are many places to visit (such as national parks, theme parks, friends/ family) so plan ahead with the group and make sure to have correct directions and factor in expenses beforehand so it can be a worry-free adventure. For accommodations along the trip, be sure to research inexpensive hotels and book reservations ahead of time or have an alternative plan to stay with family or friends along the way, With enough people, splitting a hotel room cost will not end u p too expensive. To find inexpensive accommodations, Travelocity and Expédia are good sources that are easy to navigate and continually advertise special deals. On Travelocity. com there are hotel rates for as low as $32 per night in the Reno-Tahoe area. If a travel destination is too far away or would be too time consuming for a road trip, many travel packages are available that bundle hotel costs and airline, tickets. To travel to a "hot spot" such as Las Vegas, Travelocity offers a $226 hotel + flight package for each person. Travelocity and Expedia offer several other moderately priced packages to other destinations, such as Miami, Florida ($454 per person including airfare and hotel). 2) Service Projects Another option is to forgo the traditional summer vacation and partake in an alternative summer breaks—volunteering efforts to help charities and relief organizations. This is becoming more popular around college campuses and even high schools. There are many activities to choose: building houses (Habitat for Humanity), clearing debris from stormaffected areas, tutoring and teaching younger children, working with hospital patients, and teaching English to immigrants. For example, CSUSM's Alternative Spring Break in March 2007 helped the aftereffects of Katrina in New Orleans. To volunteer in the summer for Habitat for Humanity, the costs can range f rom $50 to $150 and the locations are scattered across the fifty states. Check their summer listings to find a specific date, region, and cost: http://www.habitat.org/ y outhprograms/suppdocs/colchalsummerbreak_sitelist.pdf 3) Camping Another low-budget vacation is camp' ing. Camping is a great way to spend time with friends, especially for those who enjoy the outdoors. Remember that renting a cabin can be less expensive with more people. There are many locations and activities to choose from depending on one's interests. While San Marcos is in a great location to access many beaches, there are other regional spots to enjoy other water activities. Making a reservation at a state park can be done ahead of time online (a nonrefundable $7.50). Depending on the group's size and how far in advance a reservation is made, South Carlsbad costs can range from $45.00 to $225.00. South Carlsbad does not feature day-use facilities. One of the five-most visited •Cali- fornia state parks, San Onofre, in north Oceanside, has alcohol restrictions, so be sure to stay on top of rules that pertain to each park. Another state park, Cardiff, actually does not have any camping facilities, but pets are allowed. Close by to Cardiff is San Elijo State Beach, which does feature tents and RV sites. To get an idea of what to expect from other camping locations, the California State Park's website breaks down camping fees: http:// www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=23293 4) Cruise Though it may not be as inexpensive as some of the previous options, a cruise is still an affordable option. Cruises can be a great deal because while most cruises t ry to add as many people possible with low fares, optional expenses such as alcohol and excursions can be highpriced and add up Textbook buy backs BY B ILLRHEIN Pride Staff Writer The semester is coming to a close, and it is time f or students to contemplate what to do with the books they spent so much money on a few months ago. Some books are valuable in cash or intrinsic value and may be worth keeping. However, if students want to sell books and get money back, there are a few options. The first option is to use the CSUSM bookstore Buy Back. According to the store, they will be accepting books starting May 7 in stationed tents in Founder's plaza. The University Store and Buy Back Tents will be open until 7 p.m. on every weekday except Friday, when they will close at 3 p.m. The process is simple: students can b ring back their used textbooks where representatives of the bookstore will examine them. They will also scan the barcode to determine if the book is usable next year, or if the edition is out of date. If a student agrees on a transaction, they will get a predetermined amount of money back for each book, and the store can resell the book next semester. This s ervice will r un through finals week. Other options lie online. Websites such as www.booksvalue.com and www. ecampus.com o ffer a similar service as the bookstore. Students can browse the site and see how much they can get back for a copy of their book. If a student agrees on the price, he or she contacts the site, mails the book to them, and gets money back. These sites then sell the books to others on their site as well as other websites, such as www. half.com. The previously mentioned www.half. com is another place to get c^sh for books, but it requires patience. This site is a branch of www.ebay.com, but does not require the auctioning process. Students and other Internet users can list DVDs, CDs, and books they wish to sell. Unlike the other options, the seller can name his or her own price. However, that also means waiting for someone to purchase it. A fter a person makes a sale, www.half.com will deposit the money into an account, t aking a small fee for their service. Therefore, if students do not want to hang on to b ulky or unpractical books, quickly. But once again, with more people, cabins can fit up to four people, so the cost of a small cabin can be split up. Travelocity and Expedia offer many special cruise packages as well as cruise companies. Expedia.com advertises Carnival cruise packages to Mexico for rates as low as $189. At Travelocity, for a four-night, roundtrip cruise starting in Los Angeles and traveling to Baja California, Mexico, and other California destinations, it can cost $209 for an inside cabin and $609 for a suite. Remember to have a passport ready in advance if a travel destination involves a foreign country. Travel agencies can be more helpful for a more customized approach to planning a cruise. There are many interesting and f un activities to take part in during summer vacation — even under a budget! With the ideas suggested above, there is still a lot of room to make a vacation creative and personable for a memorable summer! What to do with unwanted textbooks there are many options to sell them. There are resources on campus and online to make some money back, either for books next year or for the festivities summer has to offer.

To further strengthen campus emergency preparedness Gal State San Marcos has implemented a mass notification system to communicate with the campus community during times of emergency; This system allows students, faculty and staff to determine how they would like to be notified if the campus should experience an emergency Choices include one or more of the following: • SMS text message (standard text messaging fees apply) * Cell phone * Campus e-mail • Personal e-mail • Home phone * Work phone To regisfe^ go te to enter your personal information �Tips and tricks to survive finals week BY AMY SALISBURY Pride Staff Writer The first and most important rule in keeping up with finals week is having a hold on what It's that time again, folks. kind of schedule you will have Though the term projects seem in the coming weeks.

The Cougars jumped out to an early onerun lead in the bottom of the second inning on a Tristan Gale solo home run. Biola got the run back in the top of the third, and went on to tack on two in the top of the fifth and one in the top of the seventh. The Cougars closed the gap to one after scoring two runs in the bottom of the seventh on Jackson Chapelone and Dane Ponciano solo home runs. Biola added an insurance run in the top of the ninth and closed the door on the Cougars in the bottom half to take the win. Despite receiving their first loss in nine games on Tuesday, the Cougars continued their winning ways of late as they faced Cal State San Bernardino on Friday, taking a close one by a score of 5-4. The Cougars got on the board first, scoring on a Terry Moritz RBI single in the top of the third. San Bernardino countered with a run in the bottom of the third, and again in the fourth. The Cougars did their damage in the top of the sixth inning, scoring four runs on two hits and two San Bernardino errors. San Bernardino tried their hand at a comeback in the bottom of the eighth, cutting the deficit to one. However, a solid defensive effort by the Cougars kept the lead safe en route to the win. The Cougars again saw Cal State San Bernardino on Saturday, this time at home for a doubleheader that resulted in a split. The Cougars combated a three-run top of the first with a run in the bottom of thefirst,and four more in the bottom of the fourth. The game remained quiet from there on out thanks to strong pitching and defense for the Cougars. The Cougars could not, however carry over the momentum into the second game of the doubleheader. Despite coming out to an early 4-2 lead, the Cougars could not hold on, losing by a score of 13-7.

Gnecco truly outdid himself with the invincibility of this album. In such tracks as "God Only Wants You," we get a haunting rendition of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" mixed with lilting and almost absolutely ghostly vocals. It all leads up to the most incredible build, making way for quite possibly the most incredibly satisfying musical climax that you have ever heard. Don't you hate that feeling of only enjoying a few of the songs on a CD? You can completely forget about that all together! This CD is completely amazing through and through. With each song on this album comes yet another incredible feeling - this album will make you experience feelings you never thought could come from simply listening to a CD. Check it out for yourself.

"I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell" The New York Times' bestseller "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" is by Duke and the University of Chicago alum, Tucker Max. The novel is a hilarious romp through the wild stories of Tucker Max's life, which makes "National Lampoon's: Van Wilder" seem tame by comparison. The stories include such antics as "Tucker goes to Vegas," and "The Now Infamous Tucker Max Charity Auction Debacle."

They care mostly what your experiences are in your field. to restrain from collapsing while laughing—each story was better than the one before. Tucker makes friends and enemies wherever he goes. This book does, however, demonstrate the truth of the effects of alcohol and how sometimes people tend to take advantage of others. But if you're looking for interesting stories, each one like some legendary college party complete with alcohol induced blackouts, you're in for a treat. This book is like taking the most bizarre stories from every scoundrel and rogue you know, and multiplying them exponentially. Each one is more than just risqué encounters and pan- demonium. Rather, they are the true encounters of Tucker Max. During each of his crazy nights, Tucker takes a voice recorder with him to help him document the nights that most individuals would be too drunk to remember. Some think that Tucker's actions are too ruthless—I found it them an escape from the reality of school. "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" is a book that can help alleviate the stress of finals temporarily. So sit down with a box of tissues and indulge in what will be a memorable, tearfilled, abdominally exhausting experience. Photo courtesy Sarah Hernandez / The Pride Street Kings An action-filled hi BY LANCE CARTELLI Pride Staff Writer "Street Kings" is Director David Ayers's second followup to "Training Day." "Street Kings" is a throwback cop thriller that is highlighted by a great story and solid acting from Keanu Reeves and company. Yes, Keanu Reeves. Tom Ludlow (Keanu Reeves), a veteran LAPD detective, works in the Special Vice Squad Unit in Los Angeles. Ludlow has been suffering from depression since his wife died. On top of that, his former partner, Detective Terrance Washington (Terry Crews) was murdered by two gang members. Ludlow goes on a wild and reckless pursuit through the mean streets of Los Angeles to track down the killers and get justice for Washington. Captain Jack Wander (Forest Whitaker) is Ludlow's supervisor who must keep him from going over the edge and out of the cross hairs of Internal Affairs Captain James Biggs (Hugh Laurie). "Street Kings" starts off fast and never slows down. Within the first ten minutes, viewers are able to see that Detective Ludlow is a highly skilled cop. The movie moves so quickly that no ones knows who is the good or bad cop, and by the end viewers are surprised with the thrilling twist of who is really good and bad. The only aspect that outweighs the acting of Reeves, Whitaker, and Laurie, is the writing. This movie may not have the most action, but the fast-paced story keeps viewers on the edge of their seats up until the action packed ending that will leave the audience saying "wow." Despite what the critics say, this movie is a great cop thriller and is Reeves's best work since "The Matrix." �T HE P RIDE A & E Tuesday, April 29; 2008 il Siam Surprise BY JACKIE CARBAJAL.

Land Shark Lager BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Margaritaville Brewing Company brews Land Shark Lager in Jacksonville, Florida. Jimmy Buffett owns Buffet's Margaritaville Holding LLC, the parent company of the brewery. Originally, the brewery produced the lager solely for Margaritaville Restaurants. The lager's popularity grew and the brewery decided to sell the product nationwide in retail outlets. There are currently eight restaurants in the United States. The closest restaurants to CSUSM are located in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Glendale, Arizona. The remaining restaurants are located near Florida with the exception of one restaurant in Cancun, Mexico. The cardboard pack- ^ ^ a ging holds 12-fluid ounce clear glass bottles. The six-pack retails for $7.29 at BevMo. A soft yellow and navy blue comprise the majority of the coloring used on the container. A simple beach scene with a large shark fin planted firmly on land captures center stage. The bottles contain the same imaging and labeling. Bronze, yellow, and navy blue fill in the artwork on the lager 's bottle cap consisting of the lager's logo. The lager has an alcohol by volume of 4.7%, slightly lower than average beers. Land Shark pours easily, generating a quarter inch thick head that remains for the majority of consumption. The lager radiates a light golden hue similar to champagne. It emits a faint biscuit infused aroma, and enters the mouth calmly like small, gentle waves at high noon beachside. A slight peak of tastes occurs immediately then disappears as the lager strolls beyond. Given the soothing nature of the brew, it should pair well with BBQ orientedL events and food. Of course* Jimmy Buffett's 1985 hit song "Margaritaville" is a nice addition during consumption. Furthermore, the lager deserves a more creative styled glass than regular lagers. The craziness associated with the ending of a spring semester indicates one thing: the close proximity of summer where flipflops and bottle tops relax and calm the Cougar. Surprise 2, for example, valued at $7.95 includes f ried rice or steamed rice, Chicken Panang Curry (spicy), garden salad with Thai cream dressing, f ried t ofu and a soda. To cap off your night, a definite must is the banana rolls dessert. Just picture this for a second: bananas deep f ried in egg roll skins, served with chocolate syrup and whipped cream for the low price of $3.25. Sounds heavenly, right? The price is worth the risk and makes it that much easier to order seconds if need be. The only downside to the Siam experience is that you may find yourself tipping 50% of the bill because you are that satisfied—it has been done. The service is friendly and accommodating and the food speaks for itself—figuratively I hope, but I must admit, I have not yet tried the duck. Siam Surprise is located at Overland Center, 26490 Ynez Road, Suite B in Temecula. For more menu options, map directions, and contact information, visit www.siamsurprise.com.

Man Crush? BY TOM COCKING Pride Staff Writer Every night before I go to bed, I sit on the couch in the living room and go back and f orth between MTV, VH1, and Fuse, watching music videos. It is late night so there are usually some odd videos on that either make me feel uncomfortable or like I am back in the 1960's. But on this special night while channel s urfing, one of the most b eautiful sounds I had ever heard came f rom V Hi's Nocturnal State, a late night music program that plays up-and-coming artists. I listened and watched the music video intently because the person singing had one of the most melodic and calming voices I had ever heard. I waited until the end to see who it was and the ending credits read "Justin Nozuka - A fter Tonight." I had heard Justin Nozuka before but couldn't purchase his CD off iTunes because he did not sell it in the U.S. So I went to my room and got my laptop, searched for him on iTunes and by the grace of God, his CD had j ust been released in the U.S. Instantly I purchased h is CD titled "Holly" and listened to every song. I have not stopped listening to his CD since. He has a Jason Mraz-like tone but hits notes I did not know men could hit. Justin is only 19 years old, but sings of things beyond the average teenager's wisdom. With songs like my favorite "Save Him," Nozuka sings of a woman who was abused by both her father and b oyfriend. His chilling vocals make you listen to every word he says. His more upbeat songs like "After Tonight" have catchy choruses that instantly make you happy. It is safe to say I have developed a "man crush" on Justin Nozuka. Sadly, he has only played a few shows in the United States, such as the South By Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas. Nozuka was born in New York then moved to Toronto and has lived there since. But due to his growing popularity, he is beginning to p erform more in the States, primarily on the east coast. With fame coming to him at such a tender age, I can only imagine what great things he will be doing in the f uture. Is [ M m - still alive and wew documentaryt.

It is counterproductive to talk about strike dates and locations while the process is still continuing." On Wed. March 25, President Karen Haynes and ASI President Roy Lee held a student forum in the President's Boardroom. Some students voiced their concern to Dr. Haynes and Lee regarding the potential CFA strike. When Dr. Haynes learned that 94% of the CFA voted to go on strike, she said she was "not surprised, understanding that the faculty need to continue to advocate for what they believe is a fair compensation package." One student told Dr. Haynes that she could make a difference by looking at the CFA and CSU situation in a different way in order to find a solution to the problem. The student said, "If you look at it differently, as a student body president, do you realize that you can make a name for yourself that would be national? It's an opportunity to redefine the problem in a different way." Dr. Haynes replied by stating that there are significant constraints to the unionized environment and that the ability to provide compensation is removed. "There are eleven unions in the system," Dr. Haynes said. "[In] all of them, professional, technical, and service employees, in all of them, there are clear constraints. Administrators in a system like this are simply outside of the conversation. My excitement is going to be directed toward making this campus the best we can and not trying to change a 420,000 student and 23 campus union environment that is funded by the legislature." Dr. Haynes also mentioned how the system can change in order to avoid the current situation. Dr. Hayens said, "It starts with electing officials who are pro education." Patricia Worden, Vice President of Student Affairs, told concerned students that she would be emailing all students should CSUSM's faculty go on strike. CSUSM's homepage will continue to offer updated information on the condition of the CFA and CSU. princess, and we want the Disney marriage package. But one of my concerns is that marriage reinforces some very traditional gender and sexuality binaries that are not necessarily inclusive of all LGBTA people." Franklin also invited the audience to attend another event, "The Constitution and the Judge." Franklin handed out copies of pocket Constitutions and packs of red, white and blue seed packets, and said, "The seeds that are provided are so that you can sew the seeds of democracy in your own backyards." The event on the following day hosted Superior Court Judge David RubinfromSan Diego County. Rubin discussed marriage in relation to the constitution and cases relating to marriage.

The website produce bibliographies for school also offers a one week free trial papers. The website allows users for MyBibPro. to quickly and easily create bibliMyBib allows users to create ographies. The website claims to bibliographies in MLA format which are alphabetized and formatted for printing. MyBibPro allows users to create bibliographies in MLA and APA formats. The online product also offers easier citation of books through a database consisting of 18 million entries, an option to upload saved database citations, access parenthetical citation and footnote support, and store multiple lists in a personal account which can be accessed from any location as well as a customer support response within 36 hours of an original inquiry. MyBib requires users to manually enter each piece of information of data to generate a bibliography in MLA format such as author and year of publication. The task can be tedious. However, the formatting done by the website ensures a perfect bibliography in MLA format. MyBibPro requires users to merely enter the title while the website generates the remaining pieces of information needed to complete a bibliography in MLA and or APA format. Another benefit of utilizing EasyBib is saving time and energy. The website claims to reduce the time required for creating bibliographies by as little as half, and as much as two-thirds. During a test run on Stephan R. Covey's "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," a conclusion could be made on the ease and swiftness provided by MyBib. The required information was manually entered and with the click of a button a proper bibliography was reproduced in MLA format and ready for direct printing. EasyBib seems to be the perfect solution for a complete and correct bibliography. Managing multiple sources, collecting relevant and correct information, and producing an accurate bibliography are a must with all of the required papers at CSUSM. Although CSUSM library's homepage offers adequate and efficient information on creating and citing sources in MLA, APA, and other formats all Cougars should be aware of, EasyBib can also be easily utilized to ensure truthful and proper bibliographies.

True loss of body fat relative to lean muscle does not change in a week or in a month, one must make a lifestyle change and create and diet and exercise plan that they can live with. Alyssa Jacobs asks students to look at dieting and body image in a different way, "a healthy body composition is not something that can be controlled directly; it is reflective of the compounding daily choices we make each day towards a healthy lifestyle." In other words, form follows function. If students are looking for healthy ways to make a lifestyle change and get into shape there are numerous resources on campus as well as on the internet that are free and easy to use. The website www. self.com has a program that challenges the user to get into shape in 3 months, with real workouts and healthy food suggestions. A user can log in and customize a workout log and food log. The workout log tells users exactly how many calories burned during a workout and the food log tells users exactly how many calories he/she ate.

However, above and beyond the aweAlthough I almost broke my rule about inspiring structure, and the cheeky Roman 'not arriving in a city after dark', the dusk soldiers who linger around it (be warned of the 'Eternal city' was not at all worrying they really act the part!) the magnificence as I settled down on the Terravision bus to of Rome lies in the fact that everything is the Termini train station. It only took a five nearby. If you do not fancy the walking, minute walk through the cool winter air of there is also the easy to navigate metro Rome to reach the Montestella hostel, and system. However, the best way to see Rome on the way, mopeds galore neatly lined the is to walk, that way you can take everything in, and maintain a healthy schedule narrow old streets. Confidently settled in the hostel, it didn't of espresso and gelato breaks. take long to decide on a restaurant to go Rome is a city with so much to do in. Be to. Using my limited Italian, I managed sure to pay a visit to the Trevi Fountain, the to order a delicious meal of gnocchi in a Circus Maximus—a mass entertainment zesty garlic sauce. A couple of glasses of venue and race track that often hosted charrich red wine in the busy little restaurant iot races—Palatine Hill, Monumneto a Vitlater, and I had planned the events for the torio Emmanuelle, the Pantheon, the Capinext day. First stop: the Colosseum. toline, and the various ancient catacombs— A visit to the Colosseum is seemingly a the list in endless. Being a fan of the artist mandatory thing to do in Rome. It really is Caravaggio, I sought out every place disone of the marvels of the world, and there playing his art, including those housed in is nothing like a wander around its ancient, the church of San Luigi dei Francesi: "The Calling of St Matthew," "The Inspiration of Saint Matthew" and "The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew." I also went on the Bernini trail; his wonderful sculptures are everywhere. In fact, it seems that around every corner there lurks another masterpiece, which brings me to another great aspect of the city: signposts. Little black signposts are all over the place pointing this way and that: "Trevi fountain this way ...the Pantheon this way..." you are absolutely cocooned in historical art. A visit to the Basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano (St. Peters Basilica), along with the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City is something that everyone should experience; it is a massive expanse of unimaginable beauty, and if you pop down on a Sunday, you will have a backdrop of beautiful, angelic hymns to accompany the sumptuous feast for the eyes. Rome is a grand place to visit any time of the year. I am more inclined to suggest the cooler months, just because it is less congested, however, the weather may not be the best. During a recent December trip there I got rained on rather badly. And, as luck had it, I was on a long walk to find the "Bocca Delia Verità," a large, round sculpture of a face with the famous "Mouth of Truth." The sculpture's name seems appropriate because it was widely believed at the time of its creation that if a liar was to put their hand in its mouth it would be bitten off! Apparently I am not a liar as my hand came out unscathed so it all turned out well, despite the pouring rain. Indeed, it was quite a f un evening after all, as at thé Boca Delia I met up with a fellow traveler and we had a great time exchanging travel stories as we walked through the pouring rain beside the ancient Circus Maximus. I have many fond memories of Rome; it really is an enchanting place and I fully believe that, regardless of whether you visit to embrace history and art, or simply relax and sip cappuccinos, you are bound to fall in love with the Eternal City. �O PINION THE PRIDE V ^ X A 1 N AV-ALN Tuesday, April 3, 2007 Jock Talk With Josh New opportunities this Spring BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff WriterI love my family, but I considered disowning them after what happened to me this Spring Break. The Friday that school let put I went to Lo$ Angeles for the weekend. I came back to San Diego on Sunday. I then left on Tuesday to Tucson, Arizona with my grandparertts to visit" family and go to baseball spring training. 11:30AM on Tuesday March 27,2007: We stop in Yuma, Arizona to gas up and get something to eat. My phone rings while I 'm eating. I don't pick up the phone because I don't recognize the number, and it's too loud in the restaurant to hear. The mystery number leaves a message. / Noon: I jump into the driver's seat of my car, grab my phone and listen to the message. My grandparents begin to chatter. "Hi my name i s -—-- and I am with the San Diego Padres Marketing department," the message starts. "Oh shit, please be quiet," I yell t omy grandparents. The me§sage goes on. "I would like to s et up an interviewrwith you on Wednesday or Thursday. Please call me back as soon as you can."^ 3 Ì2:Ì5PM: "Hi — , this is Joshua Sandoval returning your call. I am actually in Yuma, Arizona on my way to spring training in Tucson, Arizona so I can't make a Wednesday or Thursday meeting. Please give me a call back so we can set u p something, because I would iove to meet with you." 12:30PM: Back, on the road to Tucson. There are 40 MPH winds bursting across the freeway. We have been in the middle of dust storms for most of the t rip thus far. The phone rings. It's the call I've been waiting for all my life. I need to devote my full attention towards this call, so I pull over to the side of the road and answer, s "Hello?" "Hi, this is — with the San Diego Padres. We want you to come in on Wednesday or Thursday for an interview." "I'm- actually on my way to spring training as we speak. I'm coming back to San Diego on Friday?' "O.K. well how about Monday at 1PM at the Main offices at 100 Park Boulevard?" "Monday at 1PM sounds great," I gratefully agree to. I love my grandparents and I love my family in Tucson, but if the Padres said the interview had to be on Wednesday or Thursday then I would have turned the car right around. 3:16AM on Wednesday March 28, 2007: I can't sleep. Every time I pass out, I dream about working for the Padres and suddenly wake up. This is all that has been on my mind since I got the call. 10:08AM: I get a text message from Karin telling me she has a court side ticket to the Clippers game for me. She knows I'm out of town, but decides to rub it in anyway. 10:09AM: "I love my family... I love my family," I have to keep repeating this to myself so that I don't jump in my car and drive to Los Angeles. Luckily it's only the Clippers. If it was a court side ticket to a Lakers game I would ditch my family and would ask Jack Nicholson to be my new Uncle. I haven't been out of San Diego for 24 hours and I've already delayed My opportunity of becoming a Padre and sitting r f courtside at a Clippers game. 11:00AM: My Uncle Ray buys me a new suit. 1:00PM: My uncie, grandpa and I go to the Diamondbacks and White Sox game. D-baeks win 8-0. 6:45PM: I win $100 playing blackjack at a casino in Tucson. I'm starting to feel better about being in Tucson. I no longer have to convince myself that I really do love my family. I really have had some great opportunities in life thanks in part to my family. B y the time this article comes out, my interview will be over. Who knows if I will be a Padre by then?r Either way, I can't believe some of the things I have been able to accomplish with the help of CSUSM and my family. I have worked with the "San Diego Union-Tribune," "Associated Press," as^a scout for a sports agent, toured with standup comedians and.now maybe a job with the San Diego Padres. I may be getting a little sappy as the wind stretch of my college days are nearing* but it's hard to put into words how grateful I am to my family at home and at CSUSM.

Sunny with blue skies and a cool breeze, it was a perfect day for the Goodguys 7th Del Mar Nationals, held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Hours later a fog bank threatened to encroach upon the festivities, but nothing would deter the thousands of car enthusiasts from their yearly pilgrimage. Hot steel juxtaposed against a backdrop of Spanish mission architecture, an abundance of autos stock and ^H^^^^^SL modified, classics and kit cars - abounded, their jewel box hues a dazzling sight to behold. Candy, fire-engine and crimson reds mingled with rides of teal blue, glittering gold and Dreamsicle orange. In the O'Brien Hall, the elite hot rods cooled their tires in the cavernous space, contestants for the coveted Goodguys Street Rod d'Elegance award. They glistened under artificial lighting, while their less privileged yet still breathtak- • ing brethren dazzled in the sunlight. I Nearby, the Bing Crosby Hall housed ! the hundreds of vendors selling everything from custom headers to neon signs boasting retro images from the 1950s. For the kids, Goodguys offered a free model make-n-take on Saturday at 1 p.m. Kids could build their own model cars and keep them as souvenirs. For the adults, there I were how-to seminars from respected hot I rod builders and a meet and greet with hot-rod builderThom Taylor, •jk^ More vendors hawked H P H f e ^ their wares outside as H ^ H H k jubilant drivers cruised H I down the Del Mar HpNationals "Cruisin' B H P R F Lanes" in their cool creations.

Considering the results of the recent Associated Students Inc. (ASI) elections, a lot would have to answer "no." Only 692 students bothered to vote in the two-day election April 15-16. That's about 15 p ercent of t he university's student population. But, compared to the other CSU campuses, where turnout in such elections averages 8-10 percent, 15 percent may not be all that bad. But, in the eyes of many on campus, it still leaves room for improvement. "I was pretty proud that we got 15 percent, but I would like to see 4050 percent turnout in the future," said ASI Executive Director Darlene Willis. Added current ASI President Joe Faltaous: "I think there are several layers of apathy on campus. ASI can help bring down those layers." ASI, which will control a $600,000 budget next year, is one of the few entities on campus that has officers elected solely by students. In fact, the students employ the ASI, since $20 out of every student's tuition goes directly to the organization. But some students may not realize that. In fact, there was a dearth of candidates for the ASI board. Of the 18 seats at stake in the election, only four were actually contested on the OEIections, page 3 1998 fe^ field faculty anilMiMiSSS^^ ( p j N a involvement T RACK is viewed by n d £ r ^^S' S B Y JENIFER JAFFE • tmdreds of ^ d e n t s who w a n ^ I decided ,via the democratic p roms, to dp it t h e n ^ v ^ .i I ;'Coiistriictioiiofa$lmiffionti^ • HsJI wiH b ^ta as a result of a t^ceMy passed W ^sm^mar^mg I student fees: CSUSM President Alexander Oom&lez said the track should be completed by next yrnr, and added* "It fethe beginning of the next stage ofdevelppjrpeiit for thJs eampiss.

OEnrollment, page 4 CSUSM offers first computer scholarships As a result of the $2.26 million bequest of Leonard Evers, CSUSM established the Evers Computer Scholarship fund. Beginning this fall, each year 40 low-income freshman will each get a laptop computer as long as they are enrolled at CSUSM. "Computers are an integral part of education, business, and our society. At CSUSM, computers are essential for doing research, creating artwork, analyzing information, and communicating with other students and professors. It's virtually impossible to get a quality education without having access to computers and other information technology," Paul Phillips, director of financial aid, explained.

A United Nations delegation? No, just some of the nations represented in CSUSM's English as a Second Language program, which is directed on c ampus by the American Language and Cultural Institutes (ALCI). The c urriculum consists of intensive academic preparation courses for students who come to the United States from other nations to continue their education. ESL students are rarely true begin-: ners in English. "We do get some students who are fairly low level English speakers/' admitted Cheryl Wecksler, director of the ALCI. "Most have studied English in their own country." Students who take the courses exit the program with a certificate in hand and the ability to continue their education in the United States. The ESL program builds upon each s tudent's individual skills, said Wecksler, adding, "When a student comes in we test them. We place them, depending on their test results, at varying levels." The ESL program gives the students the academic tools necessary to reach their scholastic goals in this country, she said. "Some may need a semester. Others may need a full year," she added. The program keeps academics as its main focus. "We teach students how to do academic writing, how to do research, how to write research papers and listening and notetaking skills," said Wecksler. "We make sure they have the skills necessary to survive academically here in the U.S. We teach them how to succeed in an American university." Three alumni of CSUSM's ESL program will graduate from the university this spring. "Others who have gone through the program will be entering CSUSM as freshman next semester," said Wecksler. "We ajso have alumni who went on to UCSD and Berkeley." Aside from academic preparation, ALCI offers short-term programs in ESL. Among these is a language and culture program that centers on personal communication. "The program focuses on speaking and listening," said Wecksler," straight-forward communication skills r ather t han academic skills." At 10 a.m. on May 13,15 ESL students will receive their certificates from ALCI in Commons 207. on Sunday, June 7th.

For their fundraisers, that is. From June 21-30, approximately 25 UB students will be heading to the Nation's Capital to participate in the '98 "Summer Education College Tour." The students will be holding a 5 0/ 50 raffle and candy sale on campus to help pay for the trip. "The students are visiting some of the country's historical landmarks and colleges," said UB programmer Shelly Anguiano, "including Howard and Georgetown Universities, the White House, the Holocaust Museum and many others." During the next several weeks, candy will be for sale at the UB Office (Craven 5201) along with the raffle tickets. The raffle prize is half of the money raised through ticket sales. "So, if we sell $2,000 in tickets, whoever holds the winning ticket will get $1,000," said Anguiano. UB is a college preparation course for low-income, first-generation college students in North County. Students, who are recruited at eighth grade, gain entry to a number of helpful programs aimed at ensuring academic success. Some of the offerings include tutorials that are offered at the high school level and "College Saturdays" where the high schoolers receive college-type instruction on CSUSM's campus. Students also go on field trips and college campus tours. Currently, UB offers services to eight area high schools. "We follow the students from eight grade to high school," says Anguiano, "Once the students become juniors in high school, we help them apply to colleges, for scholarships and other financial aid." To help the UB students raise money for their trip, or for more information, call Anguiano at (760) 750-4885. �B Page 3 | SSMSSm Diverse hiring: a blessing or a curse? B Y D E B B I E H ENKE What some call a commitment to diversity, others see as reverse discrimination. The current CSUSM administration is committed to building a diverse faculty. Yet some on campus believe the methods used by the university to recruit and hire faculty members are unfair and possibly illegal. Two faculty members, speaking only oh the condition of anonymity, said too much time is spent seeking minority candidates with no interest in teaching at CSUSM. "This is sensitive, politically incorrect stuff," said one. "The truth would ruffle way too many feathers." One said the university's current hiring process is "an unnecessary bureaucracy, driven by diversity," Both said that in many cases salary demands of prospective hires can seldom be met, and that Searches are sometimes canceled in violation of Proposition 209 simply because a candidate may not be an ethnic or racial minority. Both said the CSUSM's Department of Institutional Diversity and Equal Opportunity (IDEO) plays far too heavy a role in university recruiting. But Joe Cordero, IDEO director, denied it, adding that state universities are still able to target minorities for recruitment despite Proposition 209, which ended affirmative action in state hiring and education. They cannot, however, show preference based on race or gender, he stressed. The name of Cordero's office was changed from the Department of Affirmative Action after Prop. 209 was approved by state voters. The IDEO, Cordero said, recruits minorities in three ways: advertising in educational journals specifically aimed at minorities; attending academic conferences also specific to minority groups; and contacting possible candidates directly. But one of the CSUSM faculty members interviewed characterized the IDEO's efforts as an "extravagant misallocation of very scarce university resources," and added that placing ads in journals aimed at minorities is an expense the university cannot afford. Both said ads in "The Chronicle of Higher Education," a widely circulated standard for academia, would reach all qualified candidates, including minori- date is not a minority. "Cordero's office closely monitors the entire process, yet will cancel a search just before a job offer is made," said one. "This very heavy hand in the faculty recruiting process is to assure minority candidates receive priority consideration ... in direct violation of Proposition 209." Cordero said his department is not responsible for canceling a search, only making recommendations. But, he added, if his department feels the pool of candidates is not diverse, and the person under consideration is mediocre, a search might be ended. "Nobody wants to hire for the sake of hiring," Cordero said. "We agonize over this." Yet he admitted his office is stricter with departments who he says "do not have a good track record" for minority hiring. One faculty source questioned whether the IDEO is qualified to decide if an applicant is mediocre, adding, "Only the minority candidates are interviewed by Cordero. So how can he judge if another candidate is mediocre?" In addition, the two faculty sources said, not many minority candidates are available in a number of academic fields, and those who are available are in high demand by other universities, which pay more and hire faster. ties. Both also said they opposed attending conferences for specific ethnic or gender groups, because it meant spending money on travel only to speak to a small number of candidates. Attending conferences which are held in every academic discipline, they added, was a better way to meet all qualified candidates. The university also reaches out to minorities by contacting people listed in the "Minority & Women Doctoral Directory," they said. These lists are given by IDEO to each faculty search committee. The problem with this* according to both faculty members, is that more than half of the people listed already have teaching positions and no interest in coming to CSUSM. Cordero disagreed, saying every effort must be made to reach out to minorities "because of the university's commitment to diversity," and added that the IDEO does not want to hinder a search team's efforts. "If a department believes' bureaucratic restrictions are causing delays, then we need to know and reevaluate the process," he said. The two faculty sources insisted that searches are canceled because a candi- Elections! att^iicUIX Gonzalez pointed to several other if cdritfttiif^ w m p age 1 projects now hi the works that also may tory for clubs to give students more reason to stay on future, They include;; %: | Fallot* In eight Jaces> there was only ,a | " tlipiy^'-fa^ to ask: ^What can we do M 'Sourt between t he new clubs singly ^apdidate.

"The students who attend come f rom a variety of motivations and places," he says. "Some are, or hope to be, tutors or peer academic advisors. "Many others come just because they want to have good people skills and may pursue a career in the "helping professions.' All students are welcome." The two-day^eries of seminar workshops is designed to enlarge students' capabilities in communication skills, assertiveness, multicultural issues in helping others, substance abuse, crisis intervention, campus resources and conflict resolution, in addition to peer counseling. "This training raises the compassion level of the campus community," says Kreisler. A third day of advanced training, focused on self-development and increased awareness of differences among people, is available to students who have previously completed the two-day program. For more information, or to sign-up, go to the CAPS office (5310 Craven Hall) or call 750-4910. CAPS asks that students register in advance. "The first year, there were more than 50 students, and last year more t han 70," says Kreisler. This year, CAPS is able to offer this training, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on May 26-27, at no cost to students. The third day of additional training is May "I think I need to go see my counselor." Almost eveiy college student has uttered this phrase at one time or another. Quite likely, the mere mention of the word "counselor" sends thoughts of registration deadlines, course numbers and frenzied signature-hunts. But access to a counselor is only one venue of such help available at CSUSM. Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) offers a variety of services to students at no cost. It is geared to promote wellness, mental health and academic success in the CSUSM community. "In general, our goal is to improve the health of the CSUSM community as much as possible toward successful student development and growth," says Dy. Fritz Kreisler, who heads the office. To accomplish this, CAPS offers individual personal counseling and brief therapy to assist students with things like study challenges, problematic relationships and stress. "Nearly 10 percent of the student body uses CAPS in this way each year," says Kreisler. Sometimes, counselors find themselves helping students through depression, severe anxiety or p osttraumatic s tress symptoms. "Student Health Services employs two part-time psychiatrists to ensure students get total care," Kreisler says. On campus, CAPS sometimes mediates conversations between a student 28. and professor, or helps resolve workStudents should bring their own place problems in a campus office. lunches, but refreshments will be served Kreisler points to the upcoming May in the morning. Enrollment: "These admissions figures demonstrate the troubling impact Proposition 209 has, and will continue to have, on California's future," said Lt. Governor Davis. "Clearly, Prop. 209's legacy will result in fewer African Americans and Latinos who will be educated to contribute to their communities in a meaningful way." According to statistics released by officials at both UC Berkeley and UCLA, the number of Latinos admitted declined by more than 56 percent and 33 percent, respectively. Similarly the number of African Americans admitted declined by more than 64 percent at UC Berkeley and 42 percent at UCLA. "Proposition 209 is the law of the land and tile UC system must abide by the voters' decision in 1996," added Davis. "However, we must be diligent in improving California's K-12 system in order to make students from those continued from page 1 schools that have historically not been competitive, more competitive in the future. We must also be creative in rethinking UC's admissions policy to allow f or a b etter r epresentation of California's population." Lt. Governor Davis is a proponent of a proposal before the UC Regents that calls for automatically admitting to the UC afixedpercentage of graduating seniors from each high school in California to tile UC system. "It is time for the UC Regents to seriously consider adopting the top-students' proposal as a means to offset the dramatic impact of Prop. 209," Davis concluded. "Thefirststep is raising the b& on academic achievement in California's high schools. This will improve academic performance among all high-schoolers and, at the same time, ensure that no segment of California's diverse communities is shut out of the UC." , & « , , ia ^ b f i t e Unplanned P regnancy?

"I am not aware of any other program like this in the country. Some campuses require students to have their own computers but add the cost onto tuition. Some campuses loan computers to students. I have not heard of any programs, other than the Evers Computer Scholarships, where the students get to use and keep the computers," stated Norman Nicolson, dean of instructional and information technologies. Each computer will be fully loaded with software, including Internet connectivity. Evers scholars will periodically be given software upgrades at no cost, to insure that they are current with the latest technology. New computers will be purchased each year, so that each new group of scholars will have up-to-date computers. The university will offer technical support to the scholars through its student computer help desk. To apply for the first Evers Computer Scholarship, students must: plan to enroll as a freshman at CSUSM fall, 1998; have a minimum 3.0 high school grade point average; and show financial need as determined by CSUSM. Students interested in applying for the Evers Computer Scholarships must complete a CSUSM General Scholarship Application and a Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

Four years later, several students launched an u nsuccessful legal challenge of t he resulting $47 per semester fee increase. Today, the SDSU facility, officially called Cox Arena at Aztec Bowl, hosts five gymnasiums, a workout room, weight-training room, locker room with saunas and a rockclimbing wall. The idea for the CSUSM project began approximately two years ago with a $50,000 donationfroma local builder who asked to r emain anonymous, Lynch said. That money paid for the field's design and soil-testing costs. But plans to build the state-of-the-art track and soccer field stalled after only about $25,000 was raisedfromvarious other donors, she said. Gonzalez rekindled the plans when he proposed t hat s tudents back the development of the facility through a fee increase referendum. The original donor then pledged an additional $150,000 for the project if it won student approval. According to a voter information flier distributed by the university, the donor will "assist the University to initiate the development of the facility by early summer," which Gonzalez explained meant helping the university to secure financing for the project. Because academic buildings have first priority for state funds, money to build an athletic facility would have to come from s tudent and donor s upport, according to the flier. The referendum met limited opposition from students, with some comparing the issue as a battle between sports and scholastics. Though conceding she didn't vote on the issue, biology m ajor Robyn Rosenburg said she was concerned about CSUSM losing academic focus. "It's ridiculous to pay for a soccer field when we don't even have enough classes," she added. Students will pay the additional fee for seven to 10 years, after which they may vote to rescind it, or keep it to fund additional facilities and programs. ASI Secretary Erik Dawson warned that there probably will only be a small window of opportunity to abolish the fee once the track is paid off. "Students will have to remain constantly vigilant, otherwise they are going to get ripped off," he added. Though hot certain where funds would come from to maintain the field if students do vote the fee out a decade from now, Gonzalez said they would probably come f rom t he campus budget. Francine Martinez, vice president of Student Affairs, praised students for recognizing the need for the facility. "The proposed track speaks to a change in the campus culture for the students," she said, adding that it could be used for such events as club days in the fall, concerts and the annual health fair. CSUSM membership in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) may also loom in the future, but first the University must establish five men's and five women's teams, she said. For the time being, students will have t he o pportunity to develop and p articipate in i ntramural sports, Gonzalez said. ASI President Joe Faltaous called the track a step in t he right direction, adding, "It gives t he campus a opportunity to begin hosting more programs and activities and creating a channel for uniting students." Senior Julie Baer said she voted for the referendum even though she will not be on campus next year to use it because she will still be an alumnae. "Every college with a quality reputation has a good sports program," she said. Sophomore Arwen Swink said she believes thefieldwill "make the campus a little bit more official," and pointed out that the $35 increase in student fees was more than canceled by a 5 percent t uition decrease enacted by state legislators. Josephine Jones, a literature and writing major who expects to graduate next fall, said she didn't mind paying an extra $35 even though the chances of her ever using the track were slim. "It's not so much that I'm not going to use it," she said, "I see it as an asset for the community." Jones said she was not bothered by the fact that nearly 90 percent of the s tudents failed to vote o n the referendum. "The apathy stems from society as a whole and it just trickles down to our peon level," she added. �S tudent l ounge o ne h ot p roperty B Y L O D I A O RAMAS As most of us know, the college routine is a hectic one. Getting away, if only for a couple of minutes, is not only helpful to stressed-out students, but mandatory. And there is a place on the CSUSM campus where it's possible to do that. But you'd better enjoy it while you can, because even that simple pleasure may soon be lost. The Student Lounge in Conference Room 2-206 ... equipped with a TV, a couple of tables and plenty of seating. .. may be small, but it's the only thing we have. It is now controlled by Associated Students Inc. (ASI), but other university groups are casting covetous eyes at the space. According to the CSUSM Foundation, the off-campus office responsible for the university's growth, not enough students use the lounge. The Foundation is considering taking it over and converting it into a conveyance store. The CSUSM Space Committee, on the other hand, would like to turn it into a conference room. Either way, that would leave students nowhere to go during breaks.The Student Affairs Office also has plans for the lounge, which would leave most of it intact. That office has recommended converting the back 10 feet of t he present lounge into an office to house the Pride newspaper. ASI also has recommended spending $5,000 to improve its offices, as well as the lounge, according to ASI secretary Erik Dawson. Even at present, the lounge is not always available to students, since ASI allows other campus organizations to reserve the room for special events. The Student Union also has proposed to take over the lounge, but preserve the space for students, according to Student Union chairman Matt Mugglebee. He points out that such a move would provide the group the opportunity to have "a heart on campus." The problem boils down to a familiar refrain at CSUSM: The university is growing, and its facilities aren't. There simply isn't space to accommodate everyone. Unfortunately, should the present lounge be lost, there is no plan to provide any other space to enable students to do what they should be doing beside studying and learning... relaxing. Fee increase: dent Erin Schazenbach, who voted against t he increase, asked, "Why should a third of the $35 increase go to a scholarship pool? Aren't we all in need of financial assistance? it just doesn't make sense." She added that she would rather see her money spent on construction of a better library or perhaps a center for art programs. But, according to the wishes of the anonymous $150,000 donor, the contribution could only be used for an athletic facility. Had the referendum failed, the gift would have been withdrawn. Certainly, the donation provides the university with an opportunity to create a more interactive campus, encouraging students to become more involved and concerned, but why should all students have to pay out for a facility that only an obvious minority of them cares about? And exactly how long will they have to pay what amounts to a tax? The information pamphlets provided at the polls said students will have an opportunity to vote to get rid of the $35 increase once the debt is paid. But who will initiate such a vote? The students entering CSUSM seven to 10 years from now may not even have access to this information. The extra $35 may not immediately be noticed by students, because of a temporary decrease in tuition that undoubtedly helped in its adoption. As one senior who voted in favor pointed out, it didn't seem to make a difference, thanks to the reduction. But fees are bound to go up, as they always do, and the increase will be a heavier burden for CSUSM students. Also, the termination of some costs like field maintenance and developmental growth in the future seems uncer- Student Union now recruiting students The Student Union is looking for qualified members to serve next fall. The organization is Responsible for planning and managing facilities to support and promote the campus community, according to Chairman Matt Mugglebee. The Student Union will be recruiting four new student members from April 27 through May 8. In the last year, the group has formed an official boai'd of directors and has financed the first phase of employing architects to develop a student building by the year 2002. continued from page 6 tain. Won't both be needed constantly? What if future students decide not to pay the fee anymore? Will that mean the soccer field's grass won't get cut or watered? It appears that the $18.35 fee set aside for these costs will be a fixture, unless future sports programs accrue revenue. CSUSM administrators maintain that the adoption of the increase will send the message out to the community that we care enough about our campus to spend our own money to build needed facilities. Jane Lynch, executive director of university advancement, said the track's approval was an "important partnership with the community." But will that spur the community to offer financial s upport f or f uture projects? Maybe. Maybe not. But it's hardly an assumption that students should have relied on.

Sometimes she spends three or four days searching for the perfect image, and then she waits a bit longer for good lighting and a "certain feel" between her and her subject. Even though photography is a long and hard process, Becca Siminou, a CSUSM visual arts major, says, "It's a wonderful process." Siminou's photography exhibit, "Tracing Journeys through Shadows," is now on display at Good Books Gallery, 527 Carlsbad Village Drive, at the corner of State Street in Carlsbad until May 24. It features 33 of her favorite shots, 25 of them in black-and-white, and the remaining eight in color. Many of her pictures are of landscapes, and few have people in them. "Her work is wonderful," said fellow s tudent Marcus Schiro, s taring at Siminou's favorite natural-setting picture, "Reflections." "It makes me feel relaxed and calm. "The entire exhibit is for sale. Framed color shots cost $200, framed black- and-white pictures, $160. But the pictures also are available unframed. The display is Siminou's capstone project to meet the requirements for her BA. The project is designed to bring students, as well as their art, into the community. "I photographed a lot as a kid when I was traveling with my family, and then in high school, my sophomore year, I took my first photo class, and I fell in love with it. With time, I knew it was what I wanted to do," Siminou says, "I am able to capture myself and my soid in my images and really re-energize myself. It's a way of doing something for myself as well as for people, because they are able to look at the images, see places they have never been, and maybe introduce them to a place they want to go." Through her years at both Palomar College and CSUSM, Siminou says, she has gained confidence in her work.

Read the lyric® sheet especially (a workofart on its own, it lends meaning t o Radiohead's brilliant tonal poetry) and suspend judgment until you've listened . to it a few times all the way through. Thisa&um definitely grows on you. The undeniably moody composition of "OK Computer" effectively weds form and content into one unassuming organic whole. The thoughtful lyrics of singer Thorn Yorke offer thematic text to intensely menacing instrumentals. Check out tracks like "Paranoid Android," "Exit Music (for a film)," "Karma Police*' and the eerie-electronic "Fitter, Happier." They're all songs that comment on the difficulty in virtue and the absurd emptiness of resolution on the moral imperative of doubt and self-improvement in the everweakened human condition. "OK Computer" offers a 12-track piece of kinetic art with contextually forceful and sensitive psychological underpinnings. Radiohead's oft-times dark and brooding ambient sound has earned the group comparisons to Pink Floyd by critics ... a comparison Greenwood modestly chalks up to the groups' common British roots. "Oxford (Radiohead's hometown) is in the center of England, but it's not really a rock n' roll town, and we don't record in a rock n' roll place," he says. "We rehearse at an old fnlit farm - an apple shed, really. I suppose that's where the Pink Floyd comparisons come in. They werefromCambridge. "It's that whole pop songs.

It earned a Best J L Album of the Year nomination and most mainstream print media publications followed suit by placing it on their "ten best" list as well. While I'm of the opinion that the Grammys reflect out-pf-touch indus|ry politics, valueless to music taps outside of the mainstream, I II admit it: The hype alone drove me to buy this CD. Like anyone else, I feel the pressure to want to listen to esoteric bands that no one has ever heard of, but despite the urge to be disagreeable here, I have to concur with the Grammys. "OK Computer," Radiohead's third release, would be an asset to anyone's collection. My worst nightmare of becoming a closet pop fan is slowly coming true. Radiohead has experienced its share of variable success. Its two previous releases, "Pablo Honey" and "The Bends," saw considerably less fanfare. "OK Computer," on the other hand, has earned the group its highest level of critical and commercial success to date.

Electronic access to databases can certainly be a boon, but only if the consumer is discerning. Your reporter proclaimed the "richness" of the Electric Library database and offered as evidence "a well-balanced cross-section of data" in the form of National Review, Psychology Today, Newsday and USA Today, not one scholarly publication among them, and one of them the McPaper of our age. The inclusion of The Complete Works of Shakespeare is curious in that it would seem t o be one of t he most readily available books (remember those?) in any library, negating the necessity of paying $10 per month to "read" the Bard via a cathode ray tube. My points are these: First, when all is said and done, jthers is^no s^bstituteioi; walking through a library and actually touching and reading books and journals; in some cases, that is the only place you will find what you need for a scholarly paper. Second, for this campus—and its students and their publications—to mature, it is incumbent upon the faculty advisors of the student paper to more carefully examine what is being touted as the most important story of the week.

"Electric Library Addresses Research Woes" touts an Internet resource which provides access to popular journals for $59.95 annually. I invite all "Pride" readers to use an array of resources supporting the CSUSM curriculum — absolutely free. Enter the Library from the 3rd floor courtyard of Craven Hall and there you'll find several databases which will give you full-text information from more than 1500 journals in a variety of subject areas. Plus you'll find library staff who will help you formulate search strategies and evaluate the information you find. Bring a disc and download the information that works best for you. While in the Library you can also get real research assistance in the Research Consultation Office and even checkout books to take home. (Believe it or not, more than 90% of scholarly information is still available only in printed form.) Many of the databases are also avail- able from the comfort of your own workstation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by dialing in to the Library's electronic resources page ( http:// ww2.csusm.edu/library/ electronic.htm). In addition to full-text journals, you can also access the Encyclopaedia Brittanica. Contemporary Authors, and databases that include college catalogs from over 6,900 institutions as well as company and industry information. The Library's government documents page ( http:// ww2.csusm.edu / govdoc / index.htm) provides links to government sites at the local, state, national, and international levels. Whether in the Library or at home, you can also search the Library's catalog and order books from SDSU, UCSD or USD libraries through the San Diego Library Circuit.

I found out some interesting things about these candidates. I found, that one could make a monkey smile, therefore we should vote for him. Another could rap, therefore we should vote for him. And, others simply told us to vote for them, but for no real reason. One thing that was lacking from every candidate was any substantive reason as to why we should vote for them at all. What do they believe in? What type of experience do they have? What are their philosophies and/or views. What issues do they feel are important and why? None of these items were addressed. Also, the manner in which the election was run forced those who actually voted to vote solely based on acquaintance, redfieing these'electiofis to little* more http://www.save.org than a high-school popularity contest. We now attend a university and I feel that the issues deserve considerably more regard; regard which has not been forthcoming. Now, arguably, there is little in the way of a forum for the candidates to be heard. I feel they could create their own forum if they so desired but probably will not if the current method used continues to work for them. I therefore have a proposition for the Associated Students Inc. ASI should mandate a forum as a requirement for running. In other words, if a person decides to runfor an office, they would be required t o, o n a specified day, present a 3-5 minute speech on there merits, experience, and views on issues. This forum could be held in a vacant lecture hall and would cost the school little if anything at all. The information gained however would be invaluable in helping the students guide and plan for the future of this university. I cannot believe for a moment that I am the only person who feels this way. I ask the ASI to consider this suggestion or similar suggestions, for the issues that the students face everyday are too important to leave to someone simply because a monkey smiles in their presence.

"Gas prices have affected my driving habits," says Accounting majorAmy Joyce Hernandez, a Junior. "I now have to think before I go anywhere. I try to stay in town and get everything done in one trip... I'm hot going back ... that's two dollars!" Amy explains. "It cost me $34 to get gas and a car wash. I plan onflyingto Vegas now for Spring Break instead of driving. It's cheaper for me to fly," says Kurt Bussche, a Junior Computer Science major. Kurt was one of many students to alter or scale down their plans for Spring Break as students looked for ways to cope with rising gas prices. Student Kevin Lavin settled for a Friday of margaritas in an Old Town restaurant instead of his usual Spring Break vacation in Puerto Nuevo, Mexico because of gas prices. Kevin explains, "I live in Nothing Gets in the Way of Orange County and commute [to Spring Break? CSUSM] for work and school. No way could I have gone.

Eric Mahan who has only managed the station for three months, expresses some frustration that their customers think they have a lot of control over gas prices, "Our mark-up is only $.05 to $. 10 per gallon of gas." Mahan is concerned that efforts intended to send a message to the big corporations, like "Gas Out" and not buying gas on Fridays, will hurt the smaller stations, like the one he manages, that serve smaller local markets. He stresses^"On top of what our suppliers charge us, we prices at the pump right now than have to pay 37.8 cents per gallon in OPEC's price per barrel. state and federal taxes. That's added to the cost of gas to the customer. Gas and Learn Then they pay .075 cents in sales Higher gas prices may have taxes on top of that. It's a tax on a tax."

HTM major Kenneth Ooi, a Senior, says, "We have made ourselves so dependent on gas. However much they raise the prices, we'll pay it. I 'm paying for my gas habit by thinking twice about where I go, it has forced me to carpool, and I give up luxuries because I'm spending all my money on gas." Ken Ooi explains how he copes, "I shop around for the lowest prices and by at the closest station. The Arco by Sycamore has it for $1.73." Junior Carissa Morales, a History major says gas prices benefited her scholastically during Spring Break, "I'm a commuter. Ten bucks in my tank Saturday, ten more on Sunday.

A style she describes as a "general arrangement of collaboration and partnership between students and myself that we create in a learning space together" also helped students value one another's input and develop relationships with one another. Professor Crowdes says that each teacher has his or her own unique Style that works in the classroom. She credits the Sociology and Social Sciences Departments with what she describes as "a very supportive faculty and administration that are an important blessing for me." "Support counts a lot for me," says Professor Crowdes, "It makes me less scared to try stuff." She says this award has encouraged her to use her same techniques in the classroom and to include E. more student participation to make her teaching even better. Professor Crowdes stated, "I really love and appreciate students who did this. I'm really there for them." The President's award recognizes and rewards faculty members who "introduce new and innovative techniques, methodologies, exercises, methods of delivery or use of technology in teaching, that engage students and produce a significant impact on their ability to learn and retain knowledge." All current faculty are eligible and only currently enrolled students are eligible to nominate faculty members. Students submit a letter of nomination that discusses the innovation in teaching (i.e. What was new or different about the teaching, methodology, techniques, etc.?) and how the innovation helped the student learn and retain the lesson. A nomination committee (consisting of two current students from ASI, one faculty member chosen by the Academic Senate, and an individual appointed by the President) reviews the nominations. The nomination committee will choose at least two candidates and give their recommendations to the President, who will make thefinalselection. The deadline for students to turn in their nominations i s set for April 17,2000, and the award announcement is set for May 19,2000, during commencement. To find out more information on nominations for the President's Award for Innovation in Teaching, contact the ASI office in Commons 203 or at #(760) 750-4990.

Chavez is most commonly remembered for leadingihe battle for better working conditions for migrant farm workers. Chavez and Dolores Huerta founded the first successful farm workers union in U.S. history, the United Farm Workers Union (UFW). His leadership and organizing accomplishments reach far beyond this. Chavez was born March 31, 1927 on a small farm, homesteaded by his grandfather in the 1880s, near :Yuma, Arizona. The family lost their •land during the Depression years and as a result, Chavez began work as a migrant farm worker at the age of ten. He eventually left school after the eighth grade to help support his family. Chavez lived with thousands of displaced families, migrating throughout the southwestern workers.

ROMEO MUST PIE Brian Fisher PRIDE STAFF WRITER Jet Li, star of Black Mask, Lethal Weapon 4 and Fist of Legend, returns to American theaters in his latest film dubbed Romeo Must Die. Jet Li plays Han Sing, a respected and accomplished ex-cop wrongly imprisoned in a Hong Kong jail. When he learns of his brother Po's murder (played by Jon Kit Lee), it is only a matter of time before he reaches the coastlfne of America. The film also stars DMX (Silk), Russel Wong (Kai Sing), Isaiah Washington (Mac), and Aaliyah (Trish O'day). Romeo Must Die, directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak, is entirely structured around an exchange of revenge, deception and betrayal. Although it would seem that the film would have little humor (given its themes), it calls for more laughing See ROMEO Pg.5 �ROMEO Cont.

Edgar Allen Pqe is one of Angelou's % favorite poets, and she loves to read his poems out loud. "Poems are meant to be spoken, not only read," said Angelou. She then spoke from memory Poe's "Raven." Angelou's voice was deep and soothing as she began "Raven," but the reading soon turned into a rendition of "Raven" as a rap song. The audience laughed as she began to strut to her song. ( DeeCtna CJ Melanie Addington PRIDE STAFF WRITER At the Thursday, March 9,2000 premiere of the Meeting Grace concert house in Golden Hills, forty fans enjoyed coffee and homemade desserts while they listened to the music of Dead Rock West, Berkley Hart (last year's winner of the New Folk Songwriter Competition in Texas), and Gregory Page. Softly lit candles scattered throughout the room provided ample light. Chairs gently set on the woodenfloorsprovided a perfect view to the corner of the room that was set aside as the stage. Atfirsttensionfilledthe room because, for many, a concert in someone's home was a new experience. Lizzie Wann, creator of Meeting Grace and owner of the home, warmly welcomed the guests. Laughter f rom the audience was common throughout the evening; Angelou states that her "poetry is actually touching people and making a difference." She told a touching story about her son having surgery after going into organ failure. Angelou received a call from her son after visiting him in the hospital. He asked her to read "Recovery," which Angelou often read to her son when he was a child, and that she in turn read for the audience. When she finished reading it to her son over the phone, he told her she "forgot a verse," so they recited the poem together. When they f inished, her son thanked her because he had j ust had 190 stitches taken out as they recited the poem together. Angelou 'ended the evening with a poem about women being phenomenal. Again she made the audience laugh as she gave a short rant on how wonderful women are, "not to discount that men are phenomenal, but you men have to write your own poem." Angelou gave a dignified bow as she left the stage and carefully walked off the steps of the stage. The audience gave her a standing ovation and an audience member said, "I wish this was a concert so she would come back for an encore." On the Meeting Grace T-shirts, Lizzie Wann quotes Woodie Guthrie, an infamous folk singer, to try and explain the reason for house concerts. Guthrie says, "I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself and in your work. I could hire out to the other side, the big money side, and get several dollars every week just to quit singing my own kind of songs and to sing the kind that knock you down still farther and the ones that poke fun at you even more and the ones that make you think you've not any sense at all. But I decided a long time ago that I'd starve to death before I'd sing any such songs as that. The radio waves... are already loaded down and running over with such no good songs as that anyhow." Playing a mix of covers and his own works, Gregory Page easily slipped into the storyteller role as each song unfolded a different part of his musical genius. With songs like, Jimmy Page's "Going to California," the crowd swayed in time with the guitar. "Buffalo Hunters," sang with Frank Drennen, was upbeat but the words stabbed at the heart of our nation's darker history. Page's soft, soulful voice filled the room with passionate longing—I was mesmerized by its beauty, and yet imperfection as well. Afterwards, sipping coffefe and buying Music for Mortals, the new Page cd, I asked him where he gets his ideas. He said that they don't come often enough but justfrom"ya know" as he shrugged with the humility of a true artist. As other writers before me have said, this is one star destined to light up the sky with his brilliance. Berkley Hart's songs were primarily country, but their use of a Djembe (African) drum was beautiful and hit right into my heart. Their final song came with fair warning to "grab tissues now!" "Barrel of Rain" is the most beautiful melody about sorrow and despair of true, everlasting love. It touched all of us as we silently stared in anguish as they played on. At the beginning of the night, the crowd was able to relax and enjoy the harmonization of Dead Rock West. Their highlight was a song titled "Lust, Flesh and Pride/' in the style of Indigo Girls. Wasserman sang the lead in a strong but timid voice. Themes of love, sex, and all the metaphors in between provided this song with quite a bit of heart. Dead Rock West are poignant, American folks and their music follows suit. Somehow every slight technical mistake made the entire show down to earth. Lights and smoke and electric everything has become so commonplace that to be able to sit down with a small crowd and just relax to some quiet acoustic music refreshed my spirit. In between songs, the banter between musicians was light and easy going butfilledwith enough dry humor that the crowd roared with laughter. Another fan, David Randle stated, "I am going to be telling everyone I know about your wonderful venue. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality and generous spirit to do all of this for the music community." Meeting Grace will continually run concerts every six weeks. Eve Selis performs next on April 27th. Tickets are ten dollars and include coffee and dessert. If great music in a relaxing atmosphere is your idea of a great night, you can contact Lizzie Wann for tickets.

B itch-Bitch-Bitch J. Jirard Patmon Bitchers of CSUSM unite! It is time my fellow bitch-o-holics to join together in dysfunctional solidarity. Let us be one with the spirit of the bitch. We bitch therefore we are! We endure 78 east from San Marcos Blvd to Nordhal, we have suffered through the 15 south connector and the 78, we are chastened by the 15 north and the 78 west connector in the mornings, tormented by the "triangle", browbeaten on the way to the airport during any holiday, assaulted by poor parking spaces everywhere but specifically at CSUSM, incensed by the Dome food, outraged by textbook prices, flabbergasted by long lines, shocked and appalled with bad haircuts, enraged by dirty dishes in the sink, disgruntled with unresponsive lovers, bewildered by lack of monetary stability, hateful of Republicans and Democrats, shell-shocked about gas prices, pissed off about promptness of food and beverage delivery at eating establishments. We bitch about how much we bitch, how slow the Internet is moving, about apathetic students, apathetic professors, apathetic administrators, walking up stairs, library services, proposition you name it! I am a Jedi knight of bitching, I have trained diligently, spent hours upon hours practicing with one of the most prolific bitchers known to man; my mother. I am primed, tuned and ready to bitch. So when I read fellow bitchers' comments about the Cashiers Office I came to the stark realization; bitchers of today are bitching just to bitch. My fellow bitcher, do you think Paula Cameron, Tanya Calienta, Teressa Romero and Alma McFarland have anything to do with the price of parking pennits, YOUR late fee or any other frivolous bitch? These individuals are respectful, efficient, and friendly, considering they deal with you on a daily basis. I wonder how much bitching you or your bitching cohort would do if you worked on this campus and had to deal with asinine UNINFORMED bitchers like yourself? So as you BITCH about the Cashiers office ask yourself these questions: are you involved with voting in all arenas: School, Local, State, Federal? Also ask yourself: what are you doing to change things? Or are you running your mouth and needlessly wasting air just to hear yourself bitch? My suggestion to anyone who has any great ideas how to run a department at CSUSM, go work or intern there and see if your attitude doesn't change. Some things suck in life: traffic, lovers, gas prices etc... These things can be dealt with on a more positive note. Plus I am sick of hearing you bitch and I am sick of tolerating my own bitching because no one wants to hear it. OPINION a rose/By any other name would smell as the rules) . What good would that be?

Just a few hundred years ago, the author, her books, and the audience all would have been burned for even considering her ideas. Although things have changed considerably, she said, our society is still modeled on a "dominator model," one in which everything is based on "superiority or inferiority, controlling or being controlled/' Dr. Eisler, a noted author, speaker, and cultural historian, presented "Our Story: The World From a Partnership Perspective" at CSUSM on Thursday* March 23 as part of Women's Herstory Month. The author of Sacred Pleasures and The Chalice and the Blade shared observations based on three decades of "reexamining our past, our present, and the possibility for our future." We dismiss earlier, equitable societies as primitive, she said, and insist on applying the dominator model to everything else. "Ifit wasn't patriarchy it must be matriarchy," she said. "Aren't these just two sides of the same dominator model?" .

XV NO. 11 TUESDAY, APRIL 4, 2006 Springtime Wedding Event Ceremony emphasizes equal rights BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN Pride Staff Writer Five mock couples participated in a Spring Wedding Ceremony to emphasize and promote inclusiveness and marriage equality for samesex partners on Monday, April 3. The demonstration, which was jointly coordinated by six student organizations, including LGBTA, ASI, PAN, Triota, the Women's Studies Student Association, and Amnesty International, received some resistance from the College Republican club, but was otherwise well-attended and supported. "It's the same commitment in marriage, same-sex or not," said Rev. Ned White, who performed the mock ceremony. "We want to show in reference that love equals love, equals love, and that in essence, it's all the same thing," said Cheyenne Barr, director of Women's Issues. To express marriage equality, the mock ceremony featured one heterosexual WEDDING, SEE page 3 The union of students Albert Genegaling and Omar Yanez was met with applause Photo by Patrick B.

"Our campus has a wonderful group of international students here with us each year," said Danielle McMartin, international student advisor. "We celebrate their cultures with this International Fair." Students and guests will have the opportunity to sample free international food, enjoy international performances and demonstrations, and learn about a variety of cultures. Students and staff are welcome to taste international foods, such as a German bratwurst, Japanese udon noodles, an Italian pasta salad, Chinese orange chicken and Native American fry bread.

"The Alumni Association wanted to host this event as a service to the voters of the 50th District," said Jack Burke, director of government affairs for the Cal State San Marcos Alumni Association. "We believe that the voters should have the opportunity to hear the candidate's views, and the candidates have the opportunity to discuss their views and share their views with you, the voter." FAIR, SEE page 3 The forum highlighted five congressional priorities, including immigration policy, military involvement in Iraq, an ethics reform in Congress, relocation of Lindbergh Field airport to Miramar, and the issue of raising the ceiling of the national debt. Moderated by Kent Davy, editor of the North County Times newspaper, the extensive 14 candidate participation limited the potential for a thorough debate-style format. Due to the vast number of candidates, the event featured a more forumstyle format, with many speakers scrambling to adhere to the strict 90 minute response time per question.

The fourth annual "In Your DEBATE, SEE page 3 Face Event" demonstration, organized and sponsored by Triota, the Women's Studies Honor Society, along with Women Studies Student Association and Amnesty International, served to bring light to issues of violence against women.

"If you nominate someone, he or she will be recognized. No one is better than the other. There is no top nominee," said Lund. There is no panel of judges deciding who wins what because "every person nominated has touched at least/one person's life and deserves to be honored," said Cheyenne Barr, coordinator of Women's HER-story month and co-founder of the ASI Women's Center. Nomination forms are available in the ASI Women's Center, (located in Commons 201), ASI Front Office (Commons 207), Student Life & Leadership Multicultural Programs (Craven Hall 4110). The nomination forms are also available to be printed out online at www.csusm.edu/sll/ nominatinoform.pdf. "Students from all areas of the campus are welcome; you don't have to be a literature student to attend. In fact, a lot of the most interesting writers I know were never formally literature students," said Wallace. While Myers had a rewarding writing experience at CSUSM, Graham had a different college experience. Graham did not major in creative writing or literature. Just as Wallace had mentioned about writers that were not formal literature students, Graham developed her writing from critical and analytical writing. "Anything that I write is based on my desire to understand the world and investigate unfamiliar or difficult experiences, feelings and ideas," said Graham. Wallace encourages students who are writers or are thinking about becoming writers to attend the event and learn from these two talented readers. "I think that literary readings are always important because they make clear that artistic possibilities for writers in America are alive and well, even if no one on TV would ever tell you so," said Wallace. Wallace has been hosting readings for over a dozen years now. He is currently developing the Community and World Literary Series and this poetry event will be thefirstof many events for the program. He also hopes to build a community of writers on the campus. "The poetry is going to be more interesting than anything I have to say about it," said Wallace. The event is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. in the Clarke's Grand Salon. Students who are interested in getting involved with the Women's Center should pick up an application to apply for one of the four job openings at the Women's Center. Applications are due Friday, April 7, and can be found in Commons 207. Both Lund and Barr could name several dozen people to each nominate for recognition. To name a few, Alina Sheikh, Lori Walkington, and Lissa Lim are some of the volunteers in the Women's Center who came highly recommended by Lund and Barr. They are not part of ASI and do not get paid or receive any type of credit for their involvement, making them eligible for the award. "They have all hit the ground running," said Barr. "They have not had any formal training or background in campus leadership, and yet have become dedicated, passionate advocates." "They are quick blossoming flowers," said Lund. "They have gotten involved and have bloomed instantly." For Lissa Lim, her passion for Women Studies started with her boyfriend. "He took Women Studies 101 and would always talk about the issues they discuss in class." This sparked Lim's interest enough to take the course herself. The class exposed her to issues she felt so strongly about that she had to get involved and do something to make a difference. Those nominated will receive a certificate of recognition at the Women's Studies Commencement Celebration. Because this is the first year of doing this, Barr anticipates that it can only get better. Barr explained, "In just one year, we've got the Women's Center. Imagine what it's going to be like next year!" i Scholarship Opportunity: Tuture Teacher Summer Institute ^ H i u b B&GriUefl hmmhwI^hH W ^ ^ I ^ I ^ É ^ M p P ^ Cou- The College of Education is pleased to announce it is accepting applications from interested undergraduates who wish to participate in the Future Teacher Summer Institute.

Fourteen of the 18 candidates vying for former Randy "Duke" Cunningham's congressional seat participated in the event, including Republicans Brian Bilbray, Bill Boyer, Richard Earnest, Bill Hauf, Delecia Holt, Howard Kaloogian, Jeff Newsome, Victor Ramirez, Eric Roach, and . Alan Uke; and Democrat candidates Francine Busby and Chris Young; Independent William Griffith, and Libertarian Paul King. "I am pleased that our Alumni Association has stepped forward to partner with us in the way of providing the forum, and an opportunity for all of us to hear from individuals with an interest in serving us in Congress," said President Karen Haynes. "I want to thank all of you in our audience for coming to listen, to evaluate, and to question how our democracy works. We are all a part of that process this evening." The 50th Congressional District voters will have the opportunity to select the next representative in the April 11 Special Election. The chosen candidate will serve the six months remaining of Cunningham's term, and be required to re-campaign in June. If no candidate wins a majority vote, a runoff election will be postponed for June 6, and coincide with the scheduled primary election date for the next two-year term. Here are some of the highlights representing the candidates on specific views: Immigration Policies "A smart-fence isn't going to fix the issue.

Having performed on campuses such as UCLA, University of Washington, UC Santa Cruz and Arizona, CSUSM finally got its chance to experience the hype. A small crowd gathered on the stairs to watch the four young L.A. women (Valerie Hernandez, Xela Marias, Patty Rodriguez and Cessy Urbina) present slam poetry-like musical pieces with their own flavor. Combining instruments from different cultures, like the African drum known as the djimbe base, and Mexica (ma-sheek-a) drums and clay flutes, the women produced a savory sound to accompany their melodic voices. Aside from the sweet sound the foursome exerts, their main purpose is to make an activist stance through the music. "We [as human beings] need to stop displacing ourselves [and be able] to communicate. Why not bring everyone together like BSU and MECHA and the other culture clubs out there? We should bring together the different subcultures," Patty Rodriguez and Valerie Hernandez said about some of the important messages brought up in their bilingual pieces. Intrigued by their appearance in the Mezzanine Plaza, CSUSM student Yolie Rios got her first taste of the 'urban indigenous group' (as they refer to themselves). "I'm really into human equality and against racism, and I appreciate how they're not using cuss words to get across their message. These women are more than what I expected them to be, whether we examine their performance or lyrics." Indeed, Cihuatl Tonali tried their best to give a memorable performance. In between musical pieces, Patty Rodriguez dressed in a huipil (a traditional woman's garment, hand embroidered, usually reserved for ceremonial use, and easy to find anywhere in the western hemisphere), to encourage the audience to "remember where your fruit and veggies came from." Originally, the group was scheduled to start at 12:45 pm, but even with the late start and a few technical difficulties, they still recruited a lot of loyal audience members. One interested passerby, Julie Young, sat down and watched the half hour event, doing her best to understand all the lyrics as the "Cihuatl Tonali": Valerie Hernandez, Xela Macias, Patty Rodriguez and C essy Urbina present slam poetry Photo by Katrena Robinson / The Pride women sometimes ¡alternated between English and Spanish. "[They] mostly had good messages about being who you are . .. not conforming to what everyone else in society thinks you should. Everyone should have his or her own culture and be able to get along with those outside of his or her culture." The only complaint Julie had with the group was the term 'white devil' which were in the lyrics to one of their songs and something Julie picked up on. She said that they seemed to be "holding some of the past against us . .. although we're not our ancestors, there might still be hate." Many in the crowd maintained a sense of curiosity, and after the performance was over some audience members approached the group for questions or pictures. A particularly unique element to this group is its capricious for- I N YOUR FACE, from page 1 FAMILY DENTISTRY Dr. Marlene Thompson, D.D.S.

Some stories were read by the survivor herself and others were, read to show the depth of others experience. Each story was read in intervals of six minutes to illustrate the statistical documented fact that every six minutes a woman is raped. Providing a dreary visual, a fter each story was read, the speaker removed her purple t-shirt, with the words "every six minutes" written across the front, and hung it on what appeared to be a clothes hanger. The shirts represented a visual to incorporate the reality of violence against women. This number, however, of "every six minutes" is only in relation to the women that report the rape, taking into account that many incidents of rape are unreported. mulation. The next time Cihuatl Tonali performs there may not be the same amount of members, the same faces or the same instruments, all of which are subject to change, even as their message remains political. Currently working on a CD to further exemplify their talents, students who missed the event can check them out at www. myspace.com/cihuatltonali. According to the Women's Resource Center, "many victims feel embarrassed and/or guilty about what happened to them and may be reluctant to tell anyone because they fear they will be blamed for the rape or may not even be believed." One such story was shared by student Sarah Leonard, reading about her personal experience of violence and rape. "You never do get over it," said Leonard. Unfortunately, Leonard's story isn't uncommon. The event demonstration also offered resources and information available to the public.

Bast went on to say that, "the lack of ash trays around school entrances, where they used to be, has become a fire waiting to happen. Smokers don't want to litter or flick their butts into the bushes, but we no longer have an option of where to dispose of them. Ms. Frasca mentioned that she will bring up the possibility of putting ashtrays near entrances for the sole purpose of disposal, as well as other possible changes, when the program is reviewed on June 30. She did explain, however, that the problem with putting ashtrays in front of entrances is that it "gives people the impression they can smoke there." When asked about violations and complaints, Frasca said she was expecting a "big backlash from smokers" but that it hasn't happened. She says she has had a "very good relationship" with the Photo by David Gatley / The Pride smokers she has dealt with. As far as non-smoker complaints, she has received, "virtually no written complaints and less than a handful of verbal complaints." When asked if smokers should take more action and file more complaints to change what could seem the first steps toward a complete smoking ban, Frasca said that, "if anything, the campus is heading towards the ambitions of student groups like Cough, who were very instrumental in getting the Chancellor and Presidents offices to actively limit smoking." As a public University with an obligation to facilitate respect between both smokers and nonsmokers, the question remains a matter of how personal freedoms and health regulations will affect the whole. The filing of both violation reports and recommendations to amend or add designated smoking areas may be done in writing through the Risk Management & Safety department.

On Campus: Professional writer lecture BY LORA PAINTER Pride Staff Writer San Diego Union Tribune theater critic Anne Marie Welsh lectured to students and staff on the variety of careers connecting writing with the arts. Topics covered included critiquing performances, conducting interviews and the challenges all writers must face. This event, part of the CSUSM Arts & Lectures series, took place on March 20, at 10 am, in Arts 111. "Part of my job is to encourage theaters to stretch themselves," said Ms. Welsh. While over the years she has met and befriended many people in the arts, she still strives to write accurate and honest critiques. During the lecture, she shared some of her recent articles. Though writing mostly about performances in the San Diego area, her work has also led her to cover events in New York and San Francisco. Her coverage ranges from ballet and musical theater to art exhibits and operas, spotlighting both profes- sional and renowned artists along with high school and college level work. Not only did Ms. Welsh explain the content of each article, she also gave back stories on just what went into assembling them. Apparently, writing quality pieces on artistic performances requires a lot of prep work by the writer. This involves meeting the various people involved in the production. Depending on the event she covers, she could be getting the bulk of her information from the performers or the stage crew. During the lecture, Ms. Welsh informed audience members of some interesting journalistic jargon. Sunday "thumbsuckers" refer to articles that are entertaining, engaging and fun to read. A piece that is "art heavy" means most of the page(s) arefilledwith pictures; It is an article that relies heavily on visual elements. A "decoding" article seeks to inform readers as to why something is a work of art. It is not a review. Rather, it uses a critic's opinion to get readers to think about art in different ways. "[I want to] let the audience know how important art positively impacts the community," says Ms. Welsh about her journalistic responsibility. Hearing her describe in great detail all the efforts devoted to each story, Ms. Welsh's passion for her work was obvious. According to the Women's International Center's website, Ms. Welsh is trained in ballet and modern dance, and holds a PhD in English literature from the University of Rochester. She has taught college courses on poetry, writing and drama and is a visiting lecturer at UCSD. Ms. Welsh has also written for daily newspapers in Washington D.C., Denver and Baltimore. Besides earning various awards, she is also an advocate for women in theater and liberal support for the arts. In regards to this event's significance for CSUSM students, Professor Merryl Goldberg offers some insight. As Chair of the Arts and Lectures Committee, Professor Goldberg was interested in having Ms. Welsh lecture partly because of a recent feature she wrote on arts education. "I think events like this one open up a whole new world of possibilities to students - both in revealing potential careers - and also in giving tremendous insight into arts," said Professor Goldberg. "A wonderful aspect of Arts and Lectures is that it truly brings in folks that otherwise would not be on campus. This is a true benefit for our students." Del Dios Bar & Grill After discussing student feedback with Professor Goldberg, it was evident that the event was a success. She expressed that her students (who attended the event) "really enjoyed her [Ms. Welsh]" and were impressed by the amount of background research put into her reviews, such as the complete reading of plays before the performance. Many students, according to Professor Goldberg, were surprised that "this could be a real job." For more information on the Arts & Lectures series visit: csusm.edu/ arts lecture/A&L/calendar.html.

Some made a point of speaking with the stern-faced policemen, expressing gladness that, unlike previous events in decades past and years recent, the police presence was open and seemed more interested in keeping the peace than corralling the 'peaceniks.' One officer exchanged memories of San Francisco while others mentioned in passing that they liked to make their presence known in any large gathering of people, regardless of potential tension between opposing camps.

Really, you have to narrow everything down to what's most likely to occur. Last year at this time I predicted a San Diego Padres versus Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim World Series. That clearly didn't happen in the playoffs since the Padres were pecked into submission by the Cardinals and the Angels stunk it up against the White Sox. There are always several teams that you can count out before opening day. The Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, Baltimore Orioles, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Pittsburgh Pirates, Cincinnati Reds, Colorado Rockies and Florida Marlins basically just show up to 162 games for the food spread after the game. Then there are teams that compete the first half of the season and then fall off the table after the all-star break.

They also have added Roy Oswalt. Clemens is now some right handed power bats in gone and their star players, Mike Piazza and Vinny Castilla Women's G olf team heads to NAIA Regional Championships that really suit Petco Park. In the American League East, the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees have new competition in the Toronto Blue Jays. The Red Sox have lost the heart of their team in Johnny Damon and have way too much turmoil with guys like David Wells and Manny Ramirez. The Yankees seem to always win this division and it won't be any different this season. I do like the Blue Jays to come out with the wild card because they have improved significantly with guys like Troy Glaus, A.J. Burnett, Lyle Overbay, Bengie Molina and B.J. Ryan. In the A.L. Central, the White Sox are the reigning World Champions and are a favorite to repeat, but I really like the Cleveland Indians. The Indians almost overtook the White Sox last season but fell apart in the final three games. The White Sox added a huge bat in Jim Thome, but he hasn't been healthy recently and they traded reliable Aaron Rowand for him. It is very difficult to play two consecutive seasons without having injuries affect your team's season. The White Sox were injury f ree last season which means they can't avoid it forever. The Indians have talented young players like Travis Hafner, Grady Sizemore, Jhonny Peralta, Andy Marte and Victor Martinez who will help the Indians shock the Sox. In the A.L. West, the Oakland Athletics are the trendy pick because they are always competitors, but their only big additions are two volatile players in Frank Thomas and Milton Bradley. I like the Angels because they are basically the same team that I chose last season to make the World Series, and mind you they were the only team to beat the White Sox in the playoffs last season. Eight teams now remain including the Braves, Cardinals, Cubs, and Padres in the N.L. and the Yankees, Blue Jays, Indians, and Angels in the A.L. The Padres will be the weakest Division winner and the Braves hardly ever do anything in the playoffs so I foresee Cardinals versus Cubs in the National League Championship. The Blue Jays and Indians are good teams but they don't mesh as well as the Yankees and Angels who practically have no holes in their teams. I am really stepping out on a limb this season, saying that the Cubs and Angels will make the World Series. The past two champions were teams that lifted "curses" so why can't the Cubs be the third straight team to do so? Comments can be sent to Sando026@csusm.edu. PALOMAR COLLEGE vnigfarSucc*»JÊ?

This couldn't be further from the truth. Having been to Magic Mountain and Disneyland a million times, and still wanting to escape from San Diego, Knott's Berry Farm seemed the perfect alternative. Knott's is situated in downtown Buena Park, amid other attractions such as the Waxland Museum and Medieval Times. San Diego county residents only have to travel about an hour and a half (less for North County residents) to enjoy what Knott's has to offer. In fact, the drive is half the fun. Cruising Interstate five, you can point out landmarks such as the Del Mar fairgrounds in Del Mar, Camp Pendleton Marine Base, which stretches from Oceanside to San Clemente, and "The Dolly Partons," aka the San Onofre Nuclear Plant, which gets its nickname because the two buildings resemble two large breasts. There are also beaches along the way that provide nice rest spots. Those who are still young at heart may choose to play A the road trip game, "Slug Bug," old school though f m it may be, one would be r ^ m surprised at how many L f l bugs (VW Beetles) are L ^K still on the road today. V V The drive time is also provides an opportunity to con- M verse with fellow passengers, • the fruit of fun at because in the age of cell phones and Myspace, people hardly ever get to enjoy a genuine conversation in person. No matter what you choose to do to pass the drive time, be sure to drive c arefully, because we noticed many a highway patrol car out on the prowl. In no time, your party will be driving down Beach Blvd, passing Po' Folks restaurant, Waxland and arriving at Knott's Berry Farm. Parking at Knott's is reasonable, costing only $9 for an all day pass. There is ample parking, and even the further spots are not too far from the entrance. The admission lines are not bad either, but if you're eligible for discounted tickets, such as military or union members, then it is suggested to purchase tickets before your arrival at the park. Adult tickets at the door are $39.95 and kids (11 and under) are $14.95, whereas military and their families can get tickets for $26, and union members (such as UCFW) can purchase tickets for about $24. Nonetheless, once you pass through the turnstiles you're thrust into an environment right out of the old west (old California), when Native Americans, Aztecs and Mexicans ran California. The park is sectioned off into area? such as the Indian Trails, Fiesta Village, Ghost ^f^sr^. Town and Camp MHPSgfl^.

The best thing about Knott's is that it offers far more than rides, There is the California Marketplace, where there is a fudge shop (yummy), Berry Market, which features Knott's world famous preserves, Carnation Ice cream parlor, and Snoopy headquarters, which sells all thé merchandise a Snoopy lover could want. In Ghost Town, there's a knife and gun shop (how cool), Ghost Town jail, where you can talk to Sad Eye Joe and hear his tales of woe, and many restaurants such as Ghost Town Grub, Fireman's BBQ and Chow House. Guests can catch a show at Charles M. Schultz theatre or watch Native Americ a n an d Aztec performers prese n t s o n s a nc £ * dances from their rich culture. When the Native Americans perform you can hear them all over the park, but if you happen to be in line at the Silver Bullet you can see the show. If you're a drinker, alcoholic you're a hot dog lover you'll have to try the "Viva Revolucion" dog ($4.95) at The Fiesta Dog stand. The "viva revolucion" dog comes piled with cheese, jaiapenos, onions, tomatoes and chili. It's delicious. If that sounds too spicy, it can be ordered "weak" and the jaiapenos and onions will be withheld. Also, don't leave without trying a hot, delicious funnel cake ($4.95/plain). Although dining at the park is very reasonable, if you still choose to eat out of the park, the delicious Fat Burger is right next door and Po' Folks restaurant is less than two minutes away. Po' Folks offers whole and hearty meals for Po' folks (like us college students). Next time you're seeking thrills and entertainment, consider Knott's. It's budget friendly (unlike its competitors) and just as f un as any other amusement park, just don't expect to be there all night, it closes at 6:00pm during this season. �Isis: An interview with an up and coming metal band BY ZACHARY J. SIMON Pride Staff Writer ISIS came about in the late 90s as the only other band besides the often inconceivable Neurosis and still untouchable Tool to make 'Metal' that was not simply beautiful, but often entirely hypnotic. As much as songs averaging on the plus side of seven minutes get relegated to 'background music,' there's many a moment when I find myself staring slack jawed at the stereo with a drawnout 'wooow.' Their latest major release, "Panopticon" includes collaboration with Tool's Justin Chancellor and all the sublime coordination fans have come to expect from these five amazing artisans. This CD is highly recommended as a first as their vocal delivery takes some getting used to for those used to seeking singing. Don't let this intimidate, though. Even with little openness to distorted guitars, ISIS belongs in the collection of those with a conscious relationship to their music. The Pride recently had the fortune to secure an email exchange with electrician and guitarist BC Meyer, who will be appearing with the rest of ISIS on April 6, at the Casbah. See casbahmusic.com and sgnl05.eom/# for details. Pride: Is time, that is, longer song-time a necessity to the ISIS sound? Does the band generally prefer 'longer' songs or does the music they find demand it? Meyer: Yeah, I think a little of all that, but honestly that is just the way the songs have always ended up... I suppose it makes sense when you look at our influences, though - Pink Floyd, Neurosis, Swans, all these bands were more interested in making pieces of music rather than a 3 minute song, not really considering the length at all. I also hope we as a band have improved in making the longer parts more interesting, not just repeating the same bit over and over. P: Do fans like to enjoy ISIS intimately, head to the PA, or do many prefer to sit back and let the performance spread over them? M: We like to think the audience is intimately involved; however, sometimes they are probably just bored. We do have a lot of people come up after shows and tell us how they could kind of get a little lost in the music, maybe stirred up some kind of emotion, which means quite a bit to us.. .we are playing a couple of DIY type shows next week, I don't even think there will be a PA there... P: Is it often you hear fans saying that they like you, but not most other 'heavy' bands. Has playing with certain types of bands yielded better crowd reactions? M: Yeah, obviously we've had a better reception with the Melvins or Mogwai than Cradle of Filth or Napalm Death ... at this point the fan base of the majority of the bands we play with are not so narrow-minded and accept most interesting music for at least being interesting. P: With a few albums under their belt now, is the band differently self-conscious or confident in its decisions? members work a lot from private time with their own instruments? What of guest appearances? M: Both. A lot of both, and a lot ofjust 2 of us getting together, or 4 of us... with the newest bunch of songs the parts we would originally come up with were very basic, very open for lots of tangents and input and output. They have been the most fun to write so far, can't wait to get into the studio and record some of this stuff. With regard to the guest appearancejs, Ayal and Maria came in and recorded a bunch of the Oceanic songs at practice and sort of figured out different parts where they might be appropriate for their contribution, and with Justin he actually came in to practice and jammed with us a couple times then really just had an afternoon at the studio and came up with some great stuff. We have yet to decide on what will happen with the next record. P: Is the band happy where they are now? Do they hope to b e in a different creative and professional place in the near future? M: Honestly, we couldn't be happier, we have worked really hard over the past 7 years or whatever, and it's nice to have it pay off, not really financially of course, but music-wise, we all feel much more confident as individuals and as 5 songwriters. We've got some big tours hopefully coming up and a bit more money to spend on this next record, and none of us are starving or smoking crack down by the river so we can't complain. M: Decisions?

It takes conscious work to keep chugging down the track, but a few simple tricks will help keep you focused. It all begins with goals. You Over the last several years, I've developed some tricks to staying motivated at a time when I most want to slack off.

Setting these goals can help you determine what to focus your energy on. And hopefully, right now your education is one of your top priorities. Goals can be as simple as completing the reading for your classes. After you have identified your goals the next step is to keep track of them. One great way to keep motivated is to create checklist or agendas. The trick is to be very specific with the list, for example, if you are dreading your final project break it down into many small É 0* Try to refrain from getting distracted. Staying motivated is not easy when your favorite shows are on, or when your friends want to come over to party. If you establish those distractions as rewards, and stick with your plan, then you will have avoided procrastination. Motivation is a choice and a behavior. You have to train yourself to be motivated. Some people are more gifted with self-motivation. With practice everyone is capable of being motivated. If you take action and make the choice to organize, prioritize, act and reward yourself, then you , will accomplish what needs to be done. It's lame, but I gotta say it: you need to have a 'can-do attitude'. Just keep telling your self, "I can do it there is only six week left" and, after a while, self-motivation will be second nature.

The more things you write down, the more things you can see check off and see accomplished. This way after you have worked for three hours, you won't feel like you haven't done anything. This process of checking off may be kind of neurotic, but it will give you a since of satisfaction, and you will see how much you do accomplish. It is important to reward your self whenever you reach a goal or accomplish a task. Identify a reward system in writing at the same time you identify your goals.

Chappelle's career began in 1993 with a small part in the movie Robin Hood: Men in Tights, as the character Ahchoo. Since 1993, Chappelle has appeared in over 20 movies, standup comedy specials such as HBO's "Killing Them Softly" or "Dave Chappelle: For What It's Worth", a hit TV series "Chappelle's Show", and in recent news has co-produced the musical documentary Dave Chappelle's Block Party. The film was directed by Michel Gondry and produced by Dave Chappelle. Block Party is not a movie but more of Chappelle's dream concert starring many musical artists such as Kanye West, Mos Def, Common, Erykah Badu, Dead Prez, The Fugees, and many more. This film is overlooked by many; in fact, its release date was March 3 ,2006, and still has gone unseen by many people. As I sat in the theater, I noticed a great deal of people walking out of the movie. Some of the audience did not expect this movie was a musical performance with bits here and there of sketch comedy. I am curious as to what people expected from a movie titled "Block Party". The film Comedy Central scripted Dave Chappelle. This is Dave in the raw; being as honest and truthful These artists perform a more underground hip-hop genre. You will not be hearing songs from Photo courtesy of Rogue Pictures comical at times. Watching this film, you get a chance to see Dave Chappelle being REAL. This is not your ing his mind and telling it like it is. By seeing this movie it opens your eyes in musical awareness. being played on the radio because of the controversy their political messages mean. Many people became con- fused about why Dave Chappelle left the United States to go live in Africa. This is subject that is not quite clear to this day. My perspective is that it became too much too fast for Dave. He lost control of what he really wanted to put out into the media. So the Block Party was in a way for Dave to get control back in his life. The movie production began in 2004; he got what he wanted to do, which was collaborating and producing his dream concert. Then afterwards is when he decided to take his "Spiritual Retreat" to Africa. When watching this film, it reminded me of watching the behind the scenes bonus features on the TV. series "Chappelle's Show". In almost every episode, Dave hosts a musical presentation towards the end of the comedic sketches featuring, for example, John Mayer, Wyclef Jon, Mos Def, and Big Boi. They are just hanging out, making good music that you do not hear everyday in a low key tone. This film is a great representation of Dave Chappelle trying to clear his name to what he is really about. I suggest people go see this film and keep an open mind. The music is great, and there are funny comical sketches intertwined throughout the whole piece. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Staff Writer Nothing is more annoying when talking to people about beer, than when you come across someone who refuses to drink a given beer because it is too dark, or, as is often the case, too light in color.

Just don't expect that to be the case for long. This young up-and-coming star, who actually is only 17, is turning heads everywhere and it's not just the long dark hair and piercing blue eyes that are getting him attention and plenty of media exposure nationwide. It has to do with that voice, that soulful voice that your preconceived notions tell you should come from an older, and far more seasoned, performer. It definitely is not the voice you'dO expected from someone who can't even vote yet, and definitely not the voice you'd expect to come from a teenage heartthrob that can credit some of his early exposure to the MTV reality show, "Miss Seventeen". So what is all the hype really about here? Teddy Geiger should just be disregarded, branded with the label of another pre-packaged, overly produced and styl- UNDEUAÌE „ i Twaiwti Photo courtesy of Sony Records ized fixture for the teen scene, right? Well, not exactly. While it is obvious those young fans will be part of Geiger's audience, his young John Mayer-esque appeal both aesthetically and musically is sure to gain him a great deal of fans in that coveted 18-24 demographic. The multi-talented Geiger, (born with the given name of John Theodore Geiger II) has much more to offer than those baby blues with his mix of rock and pop. Aside from his brief stunt on the recently cancelled CBS sitcom "Love Monkey" (which has since been picked up by VH1) Geiger can also give himself props for playing the uncommon role of a self-taught musician and composer, since grade school. It was in those early days, and perhaps some musical genes, that helped to foster a budding young star. Geiger clearly pulls influences from the likes of Dashboard Confessional, Something Corporate, Jason Mraz, Ben Folds, and of course, Mr. John Mayer himself, to craft a sound that is all his own, age-appropriate lyrically, but with a voice and melodies of an older soul. The upstate New York native marked March 21st with the release his debut disc, appropriately titled "Underage Thinking" with the record proudly toting his certified gold single, "For You I Will (Confidence)." If you haven't caught wind of the tune yet, don't sweat it. You can see Geiger, beginning April 11th in "Love Monkey" on VH1 and sample his debut on iTunes or in stores everywhere. And don't be surprised when in the near future you find yourself inadvertently singing along to your new favorite teen heartthrob. "\V for Wceirìicdlcette" V a l i n e s V e r a c i t y BY ZACHARY J. SIMON Pride Staff Writer s There's been a reoccurring hesitation when they ask me about this one, often broken first by a played-up sigh, then another pause for laughter, followed by 'it was pretty good . .. for a blockbuster' often further followed by 'it's obvious why Alan Moore didn't want his name on it.' Hollywood seems to have at last discovered, as anyone past or near to puberty in the early 90s should have already, that at least 20% of comics contain some of the most inspired, moving, and utterly brilliant human works. Compare this with an average of 10% for music, and 5% for television, and it boggles the mind why the medium often seems to play second banana to mere games. One author in particular, Alan Moore, is both revered and reviled for insisting that comics tackle not only the profound bridge between language and image, but all the big questions people associate more with spiritual aristocrats than social outcasts. His work of historical fiction "From Hell," though also missing his name, was slightly more than watchable. "League of Extraordinary Gentleman," however, wasted every single penny of the millions it took. Needless to say, even before reading the source material (now readily available in graphic novel form), I was nervous. After reading up to the last chapter, I was petrified, though still running to the theater, rather like a child eager to see something that will give him night-terrors. How on earth are they going to do this? And not just any faceless indentured script-doctor, the Wachowski brothers? You remember the matrix trilogy, right? (What's that? You also enjoyed the sequals ten times more with the dialog muted?) And even though, compared to novels, using comics as scripts naturally simplifies visual adaptation, V for Vendetta, as Alan Moore admits, was a product of its time. The 80s, specifically. Margaret Thatcher, precisely. Furthermore, (and forgive me Mr. Moore, for I adore you) the original dialogue would have been hammy even for the pre-television days, even for mysterious superhuman vigilantes, even for comics. It's common for future turmoil stories to be set in the near future, but even if he didn't expect to see, by 1998, a Britain taken by fascism after narrowly surviving a global holocaust, he also clearly didn't expect the internet, or CD players for that matter. Don't take this as an exception to the 'buy everything with Alan Moore's name on it' rule, only as a small license to use the original as a primary source rather Photo courtesy of Warner Brothers than an absolute guide. The Wachowski brothers are not yet entirely forgiven for the failed potential of the Matrix trilogy, but if Mr. Moore were about to pull the switch on the both of them, I'd insist he reconsider ... once, maybe twice. There are no truly bad actors, no overblown surfer dudes, no latest sex-its better suited to talking about their pets and fake IDs than the spiritual implications of fascism. There are a number of bad dialogue decisions, but no truly 'bad dialogue'. The future landscape is believable, but not nearly as bleakly moving as an R rating would have allowed, and a truer adaptation would have demanded. Indeed, it begs the question why an early teen can't see something with little blood, no nudity, and few expletives. Perhaps there's a questionable role-model committee afoot. The "V" of film is decidedly more a sympathetic eccentric than a darkly untouchable enigma, though a ham-sensitive or other critical sense is most likely to notice his superhuman luck, both with the future's security systems and the public's receptiveness to his message. This latter point magnifies the relative lack of character development outside V's immediate sphere, another disappointing decision on the adaptors' part. The spectacles are impressive, but comparatively few when placed next to the average blockbuster; a breath of fresh air for some, a sigh for others. Those less than eager to see another cliched pyro-masturbatory mess smeared with one-liners have little to fear on the whole, as the humor, like the blood, is blunt, but human. Anyone living outside a cave will pick up the political themes, mercifully planted in rows rather than poured in waves. How bold or brazen the script is with regards to this factor will naturally depend on who you ask. Hesitant audiences warned away from something 'too political' need only ask 'for who' and decide for themselves. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The "Medicina Mixteca" collaboration will open on Sunday, April 10 at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. From 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. guests will be able to explore the exhibit, as well as enjoy traditional music, dance and food from local Oaxacans. The band, "Xiuxla," and dance groups, "Rubios" and "Danza de la Pluma" will perform. Hands-on activities will be provided by the Escondido Children's Museum, and traditional Oaxacan food will be served. A video will premiere; featuring the voice and guitar of CSUSM's Eduardo Garcia, and President Haynes is scheduled to speak at the festivities. "Oaxacalifornians" is the term used to describe the hundreds of thousands of native people who have left their homes in Mexico and migrated to California in order to make a living. With the help of the Coalition of Indigenous Oaxacan Communities and other groups, Bade and Small were able to photograph and document the connections between the communities in California and Oaxaca. "This has been a unique collaboration between a visual artist and an anthropologist that has brought together art and anthropology students, as well as the indig- years on the ethnographic research.

Morrow said that criticisms of SB 5 that maintain the bill will require hateful or fringe ideological perspectives to be offered for contrast were unfounded. "No where in this bill do you see that there is a requirement to give equal time to any fringe, whacko, off-the-wall fairy that comes in," said Morrow Morrow said that implementation of the bill would happen at the university level and that the decisions would be made by the faculty of the particular university.

Barr said that if SB 5 goes in to effect the class it would be, "tearing apart the classroom." Executive Director of the College Republicans Nick Bonomi said that there weren't multiple sides to every subject, and that the bill wouldn't require the type of pluralism critics claim. Bonomi suggested ASI should get involved and develop a procedure for students with grade/ instructor grievances. "ASI could investigate to help the student, ASI actually doing something for the students for once," said Bonomi.

Frankel / The Pride BY JOELLE M. FRANKEL Pride Staff Writer While my fellow students lie asleep in their beds, before the sun has risen, I meet up with eight big, meaty guys and yell at the top of my lungs, "Stroke!" "Harder!" "Drive it in!" and "That's right, long and strong!" Don't be fooled by my naughty language—it's my job—I'm a coxswain. For the past two years I have been mastering the art of being a coxswain (cox for short). I steer the boat, correct rowing technique, provide motivation and encouragement, and let my boat know where we are with reference to other boats and the finish line during races. Since we don't have a rowing program at Cal State San Marcos, I cox for the San Diego Rowing Club at Mission Bay. The program is very competitive; six of the rowers in my boat were Olympic Athletes, and we travel all over the world racing against other programs. Most people associate rowing with having very strong arms but the majority of a rower's strength comes from their legs. The seats slide on a track with wheels, and rowers use their powerful legs and core strength to move the boat. Rowing is truly an orgasmic sport.. .pun intended. Nothing compares to being neck and neck on the race course, amidst the elements, staring down the coxswain in the next lane over, and motivating your rowers to fly past the competition and win the gold medal. After all, only first place counts in rowing—there's only one medal to be earned per race—and boy does it feel good to get it! Saturday and Sunday, April 2-3 was the San Diego Crew Classic at Mission Bay. Crew Classic is a huge regatta (race) with competitors from all over the west coast. The race course is 2000 meters and the seven lane course is marked by buoys of different colors. Strong winds, usually coming in from port side, make this race both challenging and exciting for coxswains, rowers, and spectators alike. The course can be particularly hairy at the starting line, where coxswains need to back their racing shells into stake boats with very strong cross winds making for a difficult start. This past weekend, I coxed three different racing shells down the course. All of our races were very competitive but my most exciting race took place on Sunday at 9:20 a.m. This grand finale provided some stiff competition. We were up against stacked boats of Olympic athletes. We were fighting for second place all the way to the 1500 meter mark, when Marin made a big moved for the finish and we fell slightly behind. In the end, we took third place, but we were happy with our performance and I steered a good course. I would have gotten really wet if we'd won first place! Come on now; get your minds out of the gutter. That's because, as tradition dictates, coxswains of first place boats get thrown into the water by their crew. Seeing coxswains get thrown into the water and watching races is only a small part of the enjoyment that a regatta provides. Going to regattas can also be a great way to meet men. When else can you watch burly athletes walk around in spandex? And girls, isn't it nice to be familiar with your prize before you get it home? Any students interested in checking out rowing or coxing ¡should visit the San Diego Rowing Club Website at www. sdrc-row.org. This sport has changed my life and made me a more dedicated person, student and athlete. After all, everybody loves a good cox! The end of the semester is so near you can taste it. But you are still here, wading amongst the numerous deadlines which keep you awake at night. If you're looking for a way to relieve some stress, and maybe get your mind to stop and focus for a minute, I have one thing to say to you: go climb a rock. Five minutes away from this campus, at 992 Rancheros Dr., is a place called Solid Rock Gym. It is an indoor rock climbing gym, one of three in San Diego. It is the place to go if you want to quiet your mind and reengage your body. When you are balanced on two footholds and holding on with all your strength to two handholds, trying not to fall off the side of a wall, it is hard to think about that paper that is due next week that you haven't started writing yet. And when you begin to feel the burn in muscles you didn't even know you had you almost forget that you have to go to class in two hours. And most importantly, when you finally master the incline on the traverse you've been climbing for weeks you realize that there is nothing you can't do and that research paper no longer seems so daunting. There are two types of rock climbing: ascent climbing (which includes top-roping and lead climbing) and bouldering. Ascent climbing is climbing vertically and requires a harness, anchors and a belayer (a partner to take up slack on the rope as you climb upward). Bouldering is climbing close to the ground; either on short vertical routes or longer horizontal traverses. The appeal of bouldering is that all you need is climbing shoes and a chalk bag. There are no harnesses, ropes or anchors involved. Every Wednesday, with a valid college id, you can climb for $10 if you have your own Internet Models Wanted Short day, good pay.

Thefirsttime you go the staff offers a free introductory lesson. Don't be embarrassed to ask lots of questions. The employees are very knowledgeable and very nice. I recommend that the first time you go you rent only shoes and a chalk bag and get the free lesson on bouldering. Start with the bouldering, it is the essence of climbing—just you and the rock. It is the best way to improve your balance, strength and flexibility. Plan on buying your own shoes soon after you start because you are going to want to start climbing a lot and you'll want shoes that fit well. Good shoes can cost anywhere from $50-$150 dollars and they are well worth the money. The gym is a great place to learn and a great place to train in the off season. But soon you will want to go outside and climb real rocks. Lucky for you it's climbing season and Joshua Tree is only two hours away. There are also plenty of great climbing spots in and around San Diego County. Ask the employees at Solid Rock about where to climb or go pick up a book at REI, Adventure 16 or Nomad Ventures. But whether you become an avid climber or a once in a while adventurer I promise it will help to relieve some stress and give you a new perspective of just what you are capable of.

W+i&iki Strong kifa strong famitmt strong commwifos Over 400 women raped and murdered, 1,000 missing, and the numbers continue to rise in the northern Mexican province of Chihuahua. The atrocities were vividly outlined in a packed room at the Clarke Fieldhouse, on the evening of Tuesday, March 22. Entitled "The Disappeared," the event, part of Women's History Month at CSUSM, was a chilling realization to those who had yet to hear about the events in Mexico and a forum for those actively working to change the situation. Following a brief introduction by CSUSM sophomore Nancy Martinez-Molano, the audience heard the first-hand account of Patricia Cervantes, whose daughter, Neyra Cervantes, has become a victim. After leaving for work one day, 20-year-old Neyra Cervantes never returned home and after investigation by local police in Chihuahua City, she was found raped and murdered. The cousin of Neyra Cervantes, David Argueta, was quickly arrested and tortured into confessing to the crime. Patricia Cervantes is now traveling California in hopes of gaining support and putting political pressure on the Mexican government to release her nephew for a crime she says he didn't commit. Translated into English as she spoke, Patricia Cervantes noted that by speaking out the Mexican government "is beginning to do its job." Many families in Mexico share similar stories. Mexican authorities have been slow to admit to the situation. Activists and families who speak out oftenfindtheir lives in danger. Much of the blame for the murders has been laid at the feet of the police in northern Mexico who if not involved in the murders themselves have been at least uncooperative infindingthe real killers. Drug runners have also been fingered out, and reportedly celebrate successful border runs by kidnapping raping, and then brutally beating and executing young women, leaving their bodies in the desert. Serial killers from the United States have also been linked to the crimes, apparently noting the ease with which they can murder in Mexico. The situation has grown steadily worse since 1993, when prompted by new trade agreements under NAFTA, thousands of migrant workers began immigrating north towards the Mexican border, creating an environ- ment of poor migrant women that have become easy targets for assailants. Much of the controversy has been centered on Ciudad Juarez in Chihuahua, where many of the murders have occurred. Situated directly across from the Texas town of El Paseo, only the muddy waters of the Rio Grande separate the murders from U.S. soil. The over two-hour long event was closed by Sandra Bello, a young photographer from Tijuana who added a strong visual to the presentation. Bello, who is attempting to bring attention to the situation, has launched a campaign using t-shirts. Sporting a black cross and fist, the shirt design was inspired by a similar cross-painted on a northern Mexican lamppost in protest and remembrance. We're turning "t-shirts intoflags,"said Bello as she showed pictures of a diverse group of people wearing the shirts. Like Patricia Cervantes, Bello has been traveling both in the U.S. and Mexico on a mission to bring awareness and change. The feeling in the room went beyond sadness to one of action and urgency.- It was "just overpowering," said CSUSM student Margaret O'Connell, "the ¡story Patricia [Cervantes] told made me want to get involved" Mailbox R ental I mo : si ans i iwstesfàl « «ügil M«ard The UPS Store I Let us sign for and hold your mail and packages In a secure setting so you can deckle when to pick them up.

This is my penance» An apology to Athletics Director Steve Nichols. (Nice guy, in great shape,) An apology to you, the Readers. : ;; , V ^ . : • ' ^ •' I'm sorry. I failed to do my job I compromised my principles, my integrity, and my loyalty to you. You've seen the recent hubbub concerning the Athletics fee. Athletics Director Steve Nichols (Dr. Nichols) joined me in challenging the article Phoenix wrote about the "Pride denied ballot access." Phoenix felt the need td defend her article, and wrote an editorial in response. Patrick B. Long wrote "CSUSM farfromNCAA" Both appeared in the Corrections and Clarification of the last paper. (Just before you went off to party hearty M arty^i-. ' The editorial made comments about Athletics Director Nich- ols that have been defended by this paper as ^proffered as rhetorical argumentation utilizing the trope of hyperbole." The 'news5 article "CSUSM far from NCAA" had some corrections on its 'facts/ And that was the extent of wrongdoing admitted by this paper. What a crock of S@#%! This paper was turned into a means of settling scores. The Athletics fee made it on the ballot, but the Pride fee didn't. So, our Editors-in-chief Elizabeth Baldwin and Michael Dolan wanted to be heard and tasked Phoenix with writing a 'news' article where the two Editors-inchief were interviewed, and by answering the questions posed, were able to take issue with the '"Pride denied ballot access" and the article ended by taking stabs at the Athletics fee. Things didn't end there. After Athletics Director Nichols sent in his Letter to the Editor taking issue with the article, and I joined him in the attack, we got a one-two punch of Phoenix's editorial in response and Patrick's "news' article in the next publication of the Pride, - T hetnto. I was asked to write the article Patrick wrote. The weekend before that issue of the Pride was published, I contacted the Pride office to inform them my Ombudsman column was on its way, I spoke with Elizabeth Baldwin and in that discussion I suggested a means to rebut the comments made by Athletics Director Nichols. I suggested that we make an apology for the errors pointed out by Dr. Nichols* Letter to the Editor, but we should list the numbers. I was convinced that if the Readers knew the numbers involved, we wouldn't approve the fee. Fd like to say that Ijust wanted the Readers to be informed, but that'd be a lie. I didn't approve of the fee, I still don't. But, I should never have gotten involved beyond my little gray box. I was asked by Elizabeth to write the article. I declined, due to a conflict with my role as Reader's Rep, Ombudsman, whatever. I did, however, write up an example of what I was suggesting and emailed it to the Pride office. That's what I'm sorry for. I made it personal. I was willing Women's history not to be forgotten BY JARED PETERSON Pride Staff Writer I forget sometimes about how many burdens my wife and modern women in general take upon themselves. Society places Now that Women's History month has more and more pressure on women to take come to a close any thoughts we have had on an increasing number of responsibiliabout the role that women have played in ties. I don't want to go into all the reasons history slip from our minds. Some read- why this is, I just want to recognize that ing this might be thinking, "I didn't even they are rising to the challenges and doing know that March was Women's History great things in the world. Arthurian legend tells how the Knights Month." Well, it was and I would like to write one more article about women. Not of the Round Table were inspired to be couabout women of the past, but about those rageous in battle because of their love for a woman. All of us today have a woman in that we live amongst today. I've been thinking about how much our life that has inspired us to be courathey deserve our respect. I'm a married geous. Take a moment out of your day and CSUSM student and my wife recently went go thank that woman. Tell her that you're out of town for a couple of weeks to visit wishing her a happy belated Women's Hisher family. While she was away I began tory Month and thank her for the difference to realize how much I take her for granted. they have made in the history of your life. Her name is Stephanie and she's the best. iiRT o «i* Tuesday, April 5, 2005 to use the Pride as a means to settle an agenda. I was wrong. For that, I am very sorry. When Tuesday came round that week, I grabbed my copy of the Pride. On the front was Patrick's "CSUSM far from NCAA" I knew that Patrick took the job I declined, I knew that article came from my discussion with Elizabeth. I don't fault Patrick. He's always struck me as a decent guy. I don't believe he knew the whole story. As for our Editors-in-chief and Phoenix: Wednesday night I got an email from Dr, Nichols. He wrote some nice things about me, but 111 get to his point, "In her article, Phoenix made some very damaging allegations of a personal nature against me." Then, he used the word ^libelous." Dr. Nichols hoped to set up a meeting with the Editors and myself. The meeting took place between Editors-in-chief Elizabeth Baldwin and Michael Dolan, and Pride Advisor Jenifer Woodring. I met with Dr. Nichols later that week. I had hoped and still do, that Michael Dolan, and especially Elizabeth Baldwin would do what I'm doing now. To admit fault To apologize. To tell the whole story to you, the Readers. That's really all Dr. Nichols wanted I especially hoped Elizabeth would come forward. She's been the Editor-in-chief in charge for all three of the articles attacking the Athletics fee and Dr. Nichols. But, that word 'libelous" has been the means to justify doing the bare minimum for fear of legal action, in the guise of Corrections Clarification. A clarification that was anything but clear. Pride is not the name I'd give this paper at this point And now, I'll do what others are unwilling. I submit myself to your judgment. If you, the Readers tell me to "step down," I will. Derek Heid will be thefirstat bat next week as the potential Oman for next semester. He'll tell you thé results.

This was a forum that was heated, civil, and at times out of hand, but continued to show how polarized our country and campus is. Even though I am a liberal, even though I'm a feminist, and even though I 'm a hardeòre believer in progressive issues, I am comfortable saying that you conservatives have a point when it comes to "academic bias." There is a load of professors at this and many universities that are left of the spectrum. They have their own views as it relates to their disciplines. My fellow professors in my major have very strong points of views on women's rights and to some it may appear to be "bias." What we argue is that some disciplines can not be taught any other way. SB5 wants to create an environment for learning that is "fair and balanced." I don't have a problem with that, as long as "fairness and balanced" is not like Fox news. In fact, the more views a class has, the better the debate it creates. This forces students to think critically and become greater learners. I personally am horrible articulating a view I do not hold; thus, when there is an alternative voice, it creates a constructive level of dissent to help students really think about the concepts we learn within our disciplines. We like to throw around the meaning word bias as means of defining a class that is one sided. But bias means "to influence in a particular, typically in an unfair direction." I believe that most, if not all teachers are not "bias" but they teach subject in a one sided way. The problem I have with SB5 is that it only affects liberal majors. It is a direct attack on one of the last institutions that hasn't been indoctrinated by conservatives. I am no more biased than my friend Nick Bonomi. As Cheyenne Barr so eloquently put it "we just see things though a different lenses." But for the conservatives to charge that there is no academic bias, as they define it, in the economics department or the college of business is outrageous. I believe economics is taught in a very one sided way. To make women's studies or sociology "fair and balanced" on the terms Mr. Morrow would like, is equivalent to economics teachers teaching communism along with capitalism. We must show "all views." It was stated in the debate that economics has no biases, "its just math." I personally would advocate changing the class name from Econ 201 to Capitalism 101 to reflect its real teachings. I also heard complaints from students that say if they spoke out in class they would be marked down and failed. The first thing I would say is that there already is a system for that. By the end of the debate I got the feeling that you conservatives had a bigger problem than disagreement. In the debate you all used tactics of intimidation and disrespect towards the speakers who do not agree with you all. I have seen that also used by some conservative students who "speak out in class." Who are you to say the teacher is being an "indoctrinator"? As far as I'm concerned, if you are disagreeing in a respectful manner and encouraging debate on the basis of an issue that is one thing. However, if you make derogatory comments, use tactics of intimidation, march off and slam the door, throw fits in class as a means of arguments and even make treats toward teachers... Well let me just say that's "immature" and it won't get you far in life. So, if you all want to pass legislation that goes after majors who are liberal, you must apply the same to conservative majors. Then you can go on and fairly preach your doctrine of "fair and balance." Felipe Robinson Zanartu Women's Studies Major VP Progressive Activist Network GradFest is here!

Alas, there's no escaping the modern conundrum-as modern now as it was a hundred and a thousand years ago-that elevated speech often makes for an alienated listener. For better or worse, by any theater, "King Lear" is not the play to change the mass's consensus that the greatest plays of the English language would be a lot better if performed English. Known across many other languages as one of the most enduring of the Bard's (what the aforementioned people will call him) works, it is also acknowledged as one of the most difficult, to perform as well as preserve. Through much of the nineteenth and some of the twentieth century the play was altered to include less bawdiness and a happier ending. Presented in its original entirety by the San Diego Repertory at Horton Plaza's Lyceum, the most offensive and depressing aspects can hardly be blamed on the author, who was (we somehow need scholars to confirm) 'quite a character.' From the onset the stage is just under par for recreated nature... on a Disneyland ride. The use of half a dozen large sliding doors—built to resemble imposing castle gates—adds a nice feudal tone, but the external praises end there. Attempting to mix ancient and modern aesthetics, the costumes range from convoluted to goofy, and the soundtrack (excepting a scene guided along by a walk-on's live flute) is slobbered out by a second rate elevator synthesizer. Casting is a tricky one to critique—as 'the best with what you've got' is your more often than not—but the first rate performers are just enough so to show the second-raters for what they are. Not that a grand TV-to-theater crossover can be hoped for, ever, but if you enjoyed Quark on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," Armin Shimerman plays the oft- coveted role of 'fool,' and proves himself a gifted actor, rather than another beset by drama class nostalgia. Sam Woodhouse is very good, for the part, and for a Shakespearean actor, particularly if you wish to have your reservations kept. He'll be as much a Lear as any Shakespeare-lover could ask for in San Diego, but a big hammy Santa Claus to factory farmed sitcom stock. Even if you can't handle drama that doesn't come from a toughish cop or a whorislf talk show host, try reading "King Lear," then go and listen more closely than you watch; let the imposingly better language become a symphony rather than a rain of puzzle pieces; let eloquence be absorbed rather than clutched at. If nothing else, watch "Titus" with Anthony Hopkins to see modernized Shakespeare done right and well enough to earn the Bard at least a second 1 chance. "King Lear" plays through April 17, with a handy and necessary student discount. More information is available at sandiegorep.com. Photo courtesy of The San Diego Rep.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer Sin City is sleazy and cheesy and worth every penny. Try as mediocre actors and bad writers may, big-budget action will never have the impact of hyper-style violence. Sure, there's the classic prevalence of incredulously bad shots and durable bodies, but the grit-gristle intimacy of glory-gore makes this a film to be held for dear life rather than imitated to death. Sure, like too many comics, its lines are jerked by melodrama—the fermented testosterone bane of every muscle flick. Yet such complaints quickly become moot as macho fifties noir inner (and often outer) monologue becomes as much an element of style as bleeding fluorescent whiteout. It's all about honoring the original art, baby, and this is a real juicy piece of honor. "Official Director" Robert Rodriguez was kicked out of the guild for working so closely with the creator, Frank Miller, (then actually giving him credit for it), but the end result is better than anything since "Kill Bill." Small wonder Quentin Tarantino didn't turn down a spot as a "Guest Director;" the more Hollywood realizes the talent of comic creators the closer he'll be to another job at a video store. Not that a great look doesn't usually enable mediocre performances, and not that Frank Miller's cameo doesn't prove most screen actors overrated, but a few did give more than could have been had by those with cheaper agents, or more love for the series. It might be too disturbing to see sweet little Gilmore girl Lorelai as a prostitute, or too disappointing that she does nothing dirtier than talk of what she's seen. A nineteen-year-old Maxim stock coming onto a sixty-ish Bruce Willis would be silly, if its story context were not already exaggerated to perfection. Basin City's scantily, no, scandalously, no, fantnastily clad working women take care of their own, hold up under mild torture, and twist something metal into both outdated and newfangled gender concepts. The bare breast shots can be counted on one hand, but are so lovingly sculpted into the encompassing imagery that the other hand can stay in your popcorn. And if you think that analysis was vulgar, if you can't even stand the thought of blood in any shade: see it anyway. The point of a violent movie is that it's a violent MOVIE, an artificial reality, a catharsis, an aesthetic exercise, not a means of "Desperate Housewives" spice up late night TV BY HEATHER HOFFMANN Pride Staff Writer Image courtesy of ABC Gone are the days of June Cleaver: the housewife has been reinvented. The new housewife is beautiful, sexy, smart and desperate. ABC's hit show "Desperate Housewives" is making everyone change the way they think about housewives and forcing people to rethink the meaning of desperate. The show tells the stories of the residents of Wisteria Lane. It uses drama, mystery, and comedy to show the lives of suburban housewives. It is narrated from beyond by Mary Alice (Brenda Strong) who committed desensitization. To clarify: see this movie, City gives you two hours entirely of what if you're 18, as this one earns its R rather we're used to seeing for only one total, and than extorting its PG-13. Just the same, it gleeful shock can be hard on a tightening might be best not to eat before hand.. .Sin bladder. suicide in the premier episode. Mary Alice's death is a mystery that still hasn't been solved, but her narration provides a unique perspective into the lives of her friends and neighbors. All the characters on the show are desperate for different reasons and that's what makes them so relatable. Susan (Teri Hatcher), Lynette (Felicity Huffman), Gabrielle (Eva Longoria) and Bree (Marcia Cross) are the friends Mary Alice left behind. Each week they find themselves in extreme situations and rely on each other for help. Edie (Nicolette Sheridan) is the neighbor that the other wom£n tolerate, but isn't exactly part of their group. She likes to stir up trouble and has no problem using her sexuality to get what she wants. She is the woman all women despise. All of the women have men troubles. Lynette's husband works too much. Gabrielle's husband is on house arrest. Bree's husband is unfaithful. Edie has sex, not relationships. Susan's boyfriend Mike killed a man. When the women aren't trying to fix their men's problems and solve their own, they're trying to figure out who murdered Mrs. Huber and the mystery surrounding Mary Alice's suicide. A common theme runs throughout the show and that's happiness. All of the women are unhappy with some aspect of their lives and trying to figure out what went wrong. The characters all want happiness but so far haven't figured out how to get it. The cast of this show is beautiful. The women are sexy and the men are hot. The acting is excellent and the sets are appealing. "Desperate Housewives" has been on a mid-season break but is back now with six new episodes in a row. Desperate Housewives airs Sundays at 9:00 p.m. on channel 10. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

University officials have recognized the need to restructure the current composition of colleges to help meet the need for growth and development in the university's future. Currently the College of Arts and Sciences (CoAS) fosters more than 50 percent of the degree programs available on campus, including 25 Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science programs and 32 minors. The new split would divide science and math disciplines into the new College of Science and Mathematics and further divide the other CoAS departments into College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. Further advancements include the new addition of College of Education, Health and Human Services that will house Education, Nursing, Kinesiology and Human Development. The College of Business Administration will not be affected by any of the new changes. "The restructuring is rearranging departments and schools and colleges, in the case of Nursing and Education, in a way that best positions the university for moving forward," said David Barsky, Associate Vice President of Academic Programs. "I am confident that this will position us well to leverage our strengths and create a stronger impact with our programs.

On the one hand, who doesn't want to get away from the rigors of school and go and enjoy vacation time in a beautiful and relaxing location f ar from home? On the other hand, who wants to fork out the time, energy and money needed to make a trip like that possible? With gas prices looming at about $4 a gallon and tuition skyrocketing along with them, chances are, Spring Break with no extra costs sounds nice and much more manageable. However, vacation doesn't need to break the bank or complicate your free time. This semester, a handful of students took their one week of freedom into their own hands and took off on an adventure that any outdoor-lover would envy: an outdoor excursion trip to Utah. Sponsored by ASI, CSUSM's Alternative Spring Break program allows students on a budget to have fun and get out with some friends without the stress of high costs and major planning. One of this semester's Spring Break programs, a Utah excursion, found around 14 CSUSM students hiking and biking their way along scenic canyons and breathtaking desert terrain for seven days and six nights. The students, along with Brian Daw- son from the University Village Apartments (UVA) and Hugo Lecomte from Campus Recreation as their guides, journeyed to the famous Utah hotspots Zion Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Arches as well as participated in a mountain bike ride in Moab. For those of you who haven't heard of these recreational areas, Bryce and Zion Canyons are two national parks located in southern Utah while Arches National Park is located in eastern Utah. Bryce and Zion Canyons, while certainly not as big or as amazingly vast as their often compared-to counterpart the Grand Canyon, offer nature lovers awe inspiring vistas of jutting rock formations and sweeping cliffs, all set against the majestic back- drop of the Utah desert. Arches National Park, in comparison, offers exactly what its name implies, a look at some of the most unique and brilliant rock arch formations in the world. Altogether, these three parks are some of the most beautiful and naturally thrilling locations in the southwestern United States. A trip to the canyons of Utah is unforgettable, and for this particular trip, everything, including accommodations (and for those of you who prefer not to sleep on the ground, all accommodations were indoors), only cost each student who participated $200. In the words of one of the campers, Whitney Brown, a senior majoring in Kinesiology, the trip was an "absolute steal and totally worth it." Brown also commented that "it was %ne of the most memorable trips [she l as] been on. It w^s a Iife\changing experience and absolutely unforgettable." For those already settled into the final few months of this semester, keep in mind that this time, next year, you could be returning refreshed and renewed from an alternative Spring Break sponsored by ASI. Hopefully now you know that it won't leave you broke, will give you a chance to spend time with some friends, and will leave you refreshed and renewed before returning back to the grind.

It is a known fact that most of the country's students have regarded Spring Break as an eagerly anticipated opportunity for surfing, sports and general relaxation. It is a week during which students can engage in far more activities than are usually available during winter and can enjoy a taste of what is yet to come over summer break, albeit at a more manageable temperature. However, at CSUSM's own Univesity Village Apartments (UVA), not everyone went home for the break; as part of an alternative Spring Break program, a large group of students from the dorms volunteered to work with Habitat for Humanity, building homes in Miami, Florida. These select few students worked long, hard hours, building houses for low-income families in the Miami area. According to Marcos Villanueva, one of the students who participated in the trip, "we'd wake up at 6 [a.m.], work from 7:30 [ ajn.] to around 3:30 [p.m.]." The group worked on a different portion of the house each day. '"Some- times we did dry wall, we did insulation, floor boards, a lot of different stuff," James Sanchez, another student, said. "We didn't finish any houses, but we prepared it [s/c] for the blitz days," Villanueva elaborated, "basically, we built the foundation, which took about four days, and Habitat [for Humanity] is going to swiftly finish the houses over the course of 10 days." Overall, the group played a crucial part in helping Habitat for Humanity, creating houses for those who desperately need them. "It's lifechanging," Sanchez said, "because it opens your eyes to new experiences and other problems that are going on this country." The experience, however, was not all work. "We went sightseeing, we went to alligator swamps, and we went fanboating," Sanchez said. Villanueva added, "Although we had to work a lot we needed some free time. We saw famous sites like "Miami Ink." One of the nights they had a party for the workers, just to say thanks." In addition to giving back to the community, the group managed to have fun in Miami, making the experience that much more rewarding. Overall, the group worked hard, but the payoff was great. They not only gave back to the community; they had a lot of fun in the process. Above and below: Photos courtesy ofUVÄ. SPRING FLOWERS COLOR APRIL HILLSIDES CARLSBAD FLOWER FIELDS IN BLOOM M ORGAN HALL LAYOUT A SSISTANT Photos courtesy ofMorgan Hall Interested in seeing spring's early beauty? Why not enjoy a few hours at the Carlsbad Flower Fields—50 acres of brightly blooming flowers. The fields, which overlook the Pacific Ocean, are filled with colorful Ranunculus blooms. Rows of these flowers carpet the rolling hillside, creating a feast for the eye and camera lens. Located in the heart of Carlsbad, the Flower Fields are open seven days a week, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and are open to the public until May 8. Prices for the Flower Fields are $10 for adults, $9 for seniors age 60, and above, $5 for children ages three to 10 and children younger than two are free. The Carlsbad Flower Fields offer a variety of activities for families, couples, and individuals. The strategically planted American Flag of Flowers, which sits in a 300 by 170 foot plot, contains flowers that were planted to resemble an American flag. The fields also annually set up a unique sweet pea maze in which visitors can navigate through a fragrant and colorful maze of "old fashioned" sweet pea blossoms. If you are interested in celebrat- ing Christmas during spring, the Carlsbad Flower Fields also hosts a 1,500 square foot poinsettia greenhouse to display over 20 unusual and rare varieties of poinsettias. Visitors can also learn the history of the amazing holiday plant. The fields also offer a few nonflower related activities including the Carlsbad Mining Company, where visitors can find and polish gem stones using an actual miner's method. Santa's Playground, which was once part of the Lake Arrowhead theme park "Santa's Village," now has a new home on the Flower Fields and allows the public to enjoy historic whimsical play houses and giant colorful mushrooms. According to their website, theflowerfields.com, the Carlsbad Flower Fields' peak blooming period lasts from March through May. Don't miss the opportunity to capture the beautiful blossoms with a Canon photography workshop on April 17. The Flower Fields also hosts music festivals and craft fairs; check out the "Special Events" page of the website for more information. �C S U S M ' S W R I T I N G C E N T E R F IXES W O R D W O R R I E S S T U D E N T S HELP S T U D E N T S W RITE R IGHT J ENNA J AUREGUI FEATURES E DITOR With finals, term papers and other writing woes lurking in the remaining weeks of school, students may find they need help putting pen to paper.

Anthony Harbor wouldn't have any of that. After all, he intended to impress fellow athletes from his alma mater, too. Clay, the reigning Olympic gold medalist in the Decathlon, and a graduate of Azusa Pacific University, arrived with athletes from the school on Saturday, saying he "just needed to get a meet in." Clay competed in the discus throw, an event he holds the decathlon record in, as well as the 110-meter hurdles alongside- Anthony Harbor. Harbor, who graduated from CSUSM last year, ran stride for stride with Clay, hurdling over the obstacles in unison—but just far enough Cal State San Marcos men'I golf jumped up 6 spots in this week's NAIA National Rankings, settling in at #17 after debuting last week at #23 j Coach Greg Hutton's Cougars, who were unranked in the preseason, capped off a very strong regular season with a 7th place finish out of 16 teams at the Cal Baptist Spring Break Intercollegiate in Primm, NV on March 21-22. At that event, CSUSM finished right in the middle of a field loaded with ranked teams, placing ahead of numerous teams including Holy Names University (#13) and the University of Victoria (#21). The Cougars* are preparing to compete at the A .II. Conference Championships in Victoria, Texas starting Apr. 25. behind to see Clay finish ahead of him at 14.10 to his 14.24. "It was the first three hurdles," Harbor said. "He was way 'more explosive than I was. He had a better center of gravity. He's a great athlete." London awaits Clay in 2012, and with the summer games in sight, the two-time medalist (he won the silver in 2004) has been training rigorously to regain his fitness after a devastating hamstring injury ended his World Championship bid in 2009. "[The 110-meter race] was sloppy, but it's thefirstrace, so you don't expect much more than that. You can't expect too much. You've just got to get your feet wet." When sloppy running equals first place at a competitive college track meet, another Olympic gold medal seems reasonable. Clay didn't even win the discus throw, which might be his best event, placing second behind Azusa Pa- cificfreshmanBeckwith Brad. But Clay wasn't there to win, anyway. "Hearing the gun for the first time, getting in the [discus throwing] ring and not having a foul for the first time...that kind of stuff can kind of play with you a little bit, so you just want to get in there and deal with it mentally and emotionally," he said. For those who were there to win, there were plenty of opportunities. CSUSM sophomore Krystle Osby flew past the field to win the 100-meter dash with a time of 12.23, with sophomore teammate Aimee Rassavong finishing third. The Cougar women dominated the pole vault, with Calah Ayer, the winner with a 3.19 meter jump, followed by teammates Kelsey Monticalvo, Meghan Freund and Natalie Eisenberg gathering a clean sweep of the 1-4 spots. The one-mile invitational run polished off the evening and contained a field of only five runners hand-picked for a close race. CSUSM's Brett Campfield went toe-to-toe with BSK Running Club's David Edwards before finishing less than a second behind, with the crowd cheering wildly behind the athletes. The day belonged to Clay, though. Everyone on the premises knew it, and had they not known he was there when they arrived, they were soon informed of his presence over the loudspeakers in the announcer's emphatic voice. Clay brought a small crowd to the discus throw, a sight usually unseen at college Track & Field meets. When the champion took his mark on the hurdles track, the crowd buzzed and flashbulbs exploded. For Harbor, it meant an opportunity to represent for the home crowd. "This is my school," Harbor said, a gleam in his eye. "You have to make it look easy, even though it's not." WOMEN'S GOLF SHINES AT CSUMB Playing their final "regular season" round of the spring, Coach Cindy Naval's CSUSM women's golf squad went out on a high note, shooting an outstanding 317 to finish 11th place at the Lady Otter Invitational. Hosted by CSU Monterey Bay at Black Horse GC in Seaside, CA, the tournament featured a 22-team field loaded with NCAA Division I and II schools. CSUSM was just one of three NAIA teams compet-= ing, but shot rounds of 325 and 317 for a total of 642 to place ahead of 11 NCAA teams. Nova Southeastern won the event with a team total of 597, with the host school placing second at 614. Linnel DeVilla continued what has been a great spring for her with an excellent round of even par 73 on Tuesday. Combined with Monday's 79, DeVilla shot a 152 at the tournament, tying her for 11th place.

Shortstop, Shanti Poston, made the first official big play of the game by tagging the Columbia runner and closing out the top of the 1st inning. At the top of the 2nd, Columbia scored 3rd consecutive runs on one hit due to a few small errors and a wild throw to the catcher, placing the San Marcos Cougars down by three early in the game, By the beginning of the 3rd, San Marcos began to find their groove defensively by only allowing one hit for the remainder of the game. Midway through the 3rd, pitcher Brenna Sandberg began, as head coach Dave Williams said, "to shake the rust off" after nearly 12 days without playing a single game. Sandberg ended the first game by striking out 9 Columbia College batters. As the remaining innings began to pass by, the fans, players, and even coaches feared a loss, At the bottom of the 7th and final inning, the CSUSM softball team knew here would be its last chance to shake things up and get 3 runs to tie or 4 runs to win. Derrisha Lacey stepped up to the plate, hit the ball just out of the reach of the third baseman, and cutting the lead to 3-1. With the winning run on base, Poston smacked the ball to center earning a base hit. Due to Poston's hit, the centerfielder dropped the ball and allowed pinch runner Brittney Guy to beat the throw and allow CSUSM to come away players, coaches and fans fuming at the umpires over several missed calls. Coaches and fans were shouting across the field, "Come on, ump," or "What game were you watching?" and the ever popular, "Are you kidding me?

The 3DS features 3D without the need for any special glasses, as well as a number of upgrades to the system. A new slider pad allows you to control characters with an analog stick much like you would on a home console. The system also features a new built-in motion sensor and gyroscope, giving gamers the ability to manipulate the game through tilting and shaking the 3DS. The system has two screens, much like its predecessor, the DS. However, the top screen is an adjustable 3D screen and the bottom is a touch screen. The 3D slider to the right of the top screen allows users to change the depth of the 3D. The 3DS. comes packed with 11 applications. The camera app takes 3D pictures with the system's dual cameras mounted on the back of the device. The "Face Raiders" app uses photos of people you've taken and places their faces on in-game enemies. The 3DS also features a "Mii Maker" app, so users can create avatars, or "Miis," usable in games such as "PilotWings Resort." Gamers may also place the Miis in the "StreetPass Mii Plaza," which exchanges Mii data with other 3DS systems in the area. The Nintendo eShop also returns, in a future update, to allow gamers to purchase classic Nintendo titles. Currently, the 3DS has 16 games available for purchase including "Super Street Fighter IV," "Madden NFL 11," "PilotWings Resort," "The Sims 3" and "Lego Star Wars ID: The Clone Wars." Nostalgic gamers can also expect the release of updated older games over the next few months such as "Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time," "Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater" and "Star Fox 64." The Nintendo 3DS system currently costs $249.99, with games priced at $39.99 at most electronics retailers. Photo courtesy of wikimedia jorg C ACROSS CROSSWORD U G A R A baby bird (think chickens).

Parking tickets at CSUSM usually run $25, and can reach up to $100 for parking in a reserved spot. Revenue from the tickets that are issued does not go back into the parking system, but rather to San Diego County for various alternate modes o f transportation such as vanpools and carpools. The repeal rate for parking tickets is around 80 percent, meaning that only 20 percent o f the contested tickets actually P ARKING,frompage 1 result in a fine. There is a 21-day grace period during which students have the chance to contest the ticket. After appealing, the contestation will go in front o f an appeal board, which is made up o f three people who are not affiliated with the parking system. It normally takes six to eight weeks to receive a reply, after which time the ticket will either be dismissed or upheld. I f the ticket is upheld then you have an option for a second level hearing. In other words, tickets can be appealed twice. I f students drop classes or dis- enroll, the parking institution will consider refunding your parking pass on a pro-rated scale. Many students are unaware o f this and simply throw their passes away not knowing that they might be eligible for a refund. Information on parking services can be found on their website at www.csusm.edu/parking. O n the site there is information concerning future plans o f action including expansion and parking pass increases.

Regarding how cuts will affect faculty, Guseman said that, " No tenured or track faculty will be released. Because we're offering fewer sections, we may use fewer adjuncts," including those faculty who have been teaching less than two years, typically teaching one or two classes. "We have some excellent adjunct faculty, and our desire is to keep those," he said. Despite budget reductions, the college's $27,640,000 business building, to be completed by January 2006, will not be threatened. Funding for the building comes from a different budget than the colleges operating expenses. The building "has always been protected under the Governor's economic stimulus plan," Guseman said. BUSINESS, from page 1 ing fewer opportunities to attend conferences and seminars. This will impact "currency": the ability o f instructors to remain on the cutting edge o f their field. "Faculty will have to delay some things they'd like to do for a year," Guseman said. Guseman characterized expected budget cuts as a " bump in the road," saying: "We want to minimize any long-term damage. We have to look at this as a shortterm phenomenon. We don't want to make some decisions that will impact our ability to continue to grow for the future." Rather than focusing purely on cutting costs, the college will generate additional revenues. The college has already had some success in such efforts, Guseman said. " The business community really does realize the importance o f having quality education." One such fundraising measure is to increase the fees for companies hosting students in the college's "senior experience" program - a program allowing students to collaborate on projects with businesses in the community. Additional revenues accrued from businesses in this manner would help defer costs incurred by the program.

T hese were not forced increases, such as resulted from Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's budget cuts. These were optional, a nd were open to b e v oted o n for four days by any student at C SUSM. W hether the fee increases were needed is not the point. Rather, the shocking thing is that 93 percent o f C SUSM s tudents apparently did not care that they might b e r equired to pay an extra $37 p er s emester from now on. Almost five hundred students voted on the two fee increases proposed b y S tudent H ealth Services. O f those, 289 voted yes o n t he first increase and 261 o n t he second (ostensibly 261 o f t he same students that supported the first). 3 T hat means that about three hundred students decided that all seven thousand o f us will pay $ 37 m ore every semester until we graduate - and not only us, but also new students who will have to abide b y the results o f last month's vote. I have a hard time believing that all o f the students who didn't vote will not care or notice when the increases take effect next semester. In fact, I 'll b et that more than a few will b e standing out in front o f the cashier's office, shaking their heads and complaining about how high the fees are. O ut o f all o f t he reasons to vote, direct monetary incentives should r ank a mong the top two or three. For students, I would expect it to be number one. My guess is that at the very least, seventy o r eighty percent o f CSUSM s tudents care when their fees go up. So why wasn't there a seventy or eighty percent turnout for the election? The next time you have the chance to vote o n a fee increase, you will have the same two options you h ad t his time: to vote, or to let a minority o f the student body decide how much money you should pay for extracurricular services.

A pleasurable event Sex toy workshop instructed, delighted large audience By CHAD SPINKS Pride StaffWriter Even though spring break had started for most students Thursday evening, March 25, there was a line o f over 150 students standing outside o f the Arts 240 lecture hall. The students were waiting to participate in the final segment o f the Women's History Month series - a sex toy workshop. Thirteen events were sponsored by the women's studies department and organized by student Josh Harris throughout the month o f March, and included such events as a vaudeville performance, hula dancing and a slam poetry reading by Bridgette Gray. "We had a hard time judging how many people would turn out," said Harris. Harris said that the only other event with such a large turnout was " The Vagina Monologues," where people were actually turned away. He said this event was more fortunate since there was enough room for everyone who came to have a seat in the audience. The two hour sex toy workshop was led by Laura Weide, a self proclaimed "missionary o f pleasure," and aimed at educating students about their bodies and understanding sexual pleasure. The lecture encouraged safe sex and enlightened the audience about pleasures o f the flesh. As the crowd packed into the lecture hall, a few curious individuals ventured to the table at the front o f the room where a number o f sex toys were on display. As the eager crowd took their seats Harris gave a brief introduction by paying tribute to Marcy Calderon, a human sexuality activist. Weide, with blond braided pig tails, black rimmed vintage glasses, dressed in a black western shirt adorned with embroidered red rose patterns and black leather pants, took the stage. She started the evening by encouraging volunteers from the audience to participate in a game that involved sex anatomy terminology. Volunteers walked to the front o f the room and were challenged to guess t he anatomy term displayed on large pieces o f poster board behind their backs. Clues were shouted out by the audience for the volunteers to guess from, and as Weide had predicted, it was pandemonium. The room erupted into cheers and light-hearted laughter as the crowd shouted descriptions for words like "perineum" and "frenulum." After the short exercise, Weide went into a discussion about the biological anatomy o f male and female genitalia. Weide provided information about anatomy and dispelled myths by answering questions from the audience. Discussion ranged from Kegel exercises, to orgasms, to safe sex, to masturbation, and a variety o f other sexual topics. After the discussion, Weide turned to the sex toy table. She explained the design, application, and safe use o f the various toys and passed them through the audience. The lecture hall buzzed with the sound o f vibrators and a few brave audience members even volunteered to model for the "strap on" products. After answering questions and the toys were put away, Weide encouraged everyone to have a safe and fun spring break. " I was concerned that in a workshop like this that everyone would be quiet, but I was surprised at the level o f comfort," Harris said. Weide, a sociology graduate, has been an activist since 1995, and said she enjoys leading sex toy workshops and the opportunity to educate people, while organizing against groups encouraging the oppression o f sexuality. Weide said she has not faced much opposition to her workshops. " I think people selfselect," she said. "People -who don't want to hear about it don't s howup."

They clean the tables where students eat, inside and outside o f the dome. They clean the pay phones, receivers and mouth pieces alike, not forgetting the trashcans and recycling bins the campus community also uses. They help in keeping the Cal State campus clean. George Carlson, the first facilities director at CSUSM initiated and supported the Transition Program in 1994 - a program involving emotionally or physically disabled students who learn skills to become more productive in personal and social situations. Currently, Chuck Walden, facilities director, supports the program. The students seen working in teams around campus and eating lunch next to you in the Dome are part o f the Transition Program. The program is involved with Vista Unified School District teachers Steve Molina and Dora Stabinski. The program also works in conjunction with the CSUSM facilities department, and Lead Custodian Carl Hanson.

This course They all meet around is held during the school semester and helps them learn functional living skills. The students are chosen for the program, which is comparable to an internship, based on their productive level. The students are paid a stipend, based on how they follow directions and their level o f productivity, as well as the initiative they show. The program also helps them mainstream into the real world and interact socially with some o f the students and staff on campus. Some students end up with the ability to get jobs in the fast food industry and two o f the students will soon be working for the Dome cafeteria. This program is a " win w in situation," Hanson said. " Not only do they learn skills to be productive, but we also gain help from being short staffed in the facilities department." " I went out clubbing, shopping and hung out at home with friends."

You remember when you did that thing with the thing with that one guy/girl? I thought you'd never live that down! Now, if only I knew an actual story of how much fun you had so we can talk about it, feel free to Facebook me. So hopefully whatever you did in Cabo, Mexico, Cancun, Palm Springs, or Temecula (yeah Temecula, that place is crazy!), hopefully you did it safely and responsibly. So, now that school is back in session after a much needed vacation, it is time to get back in the groove of pencils, book, and teacher's dirty looks (especially if you come to class hung-over, and that's just not fun either way, so don't do it). But I digress, this is a sex and relationship column, so let's talk about that aspect of spring break. Hopefully you didn't go to a spring break party spot looking for spring break love. Chances are it'll turn out as bad as that Kelly Clarkson movie when she was first starting out, yeah, you remember which one I'm talking about, the one with Justin Whatshisface. Well, who cares, the point is that that movie was terrible (see how I made that connection?). Finding love or simply a legitimate relationship at a spring break party location might not work due to its basis. Everyone is in Cancun or wherever to party, drink, and have fun. Usually, creating an emotional connection isn't the first thing on e veryone's mind when they're getting ready to do some Jaeger-bombs. Hence, if a relationship did bloom over some Irish car bombs, that relationship would be based on the grounds of sex and alcohol. And wouldn't that just be a fun and fulfilling story to tell your friends and family when you get back? "Oh so how did you two meet?" To which to reply, .. well, I was enamored by his/her ability to do a keg stand, can you imagine that? 128 seconds! Even grandpa can't do that!" But you never know, some relationships start on a non-normative basis and there's no telling how a relationship can turn out. Just make sure you take into account certain factors that can hinder this, like distance and part habits. You need someone that is faithful and willing to take the time to make it work. Now, let's talk about the sex (yes, you heardright).There's always the possibility that things could happen when out in a social situation where people are drinking and losing any inhibitions. Whether intended or not, sexual encounters happen, so better to be prepared if you intend for them. And if you don't, you know that you have the resources to stay safe in light of the situation. Make sure to visit the Student Health & Counseling Center for any questions you may have, stay safe & get tested, and prepare yourselfwith a plethora of condoms, dental dams, and other contraceptive choices.

BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer Inaugural Easter planning committee meeting BY BLAINE H. MOGIL Pride Staff Writer It was a quiet Tuesday in February a few years after the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ in 33 A.D. when the meeting took place. Good planning was crucial because Easter was being developed to celebrate the life of Jesus. Easter also needed to incorporate traditional spring celebrations of the day to make the celebration accessible to more people. A handful of elder event planners gathered to create this celebration for generations to come. This meeting had gone on for several days and the elders agreed upon the major issues. Overtired and worn out from days of intense negotiations, the elders were trying to tie up a few loose ends and find a way to get the children involved. It was clear that the children needed something to speak to them, perhaps an Easter mascot, a symbol if you will. During a heated debate about the Easter mascot for the kids, two of the elders began verbally jousting. One called the other an alter cocker. Responding, the verbally assaulted elder yelled back, "Well you're no spring chicken either!" Who would have thought? The yelling stopped. A spring chicken! Now we're on to something. Other elders stood in protest and wanted to axe the chicken idea. "Chickens aren't cute," they proclaimed, "and what kid could relate to a chicken mascot?" In the meantime, two of the wiser elders began their own side discussion about which came first the chicken or the egg. The kids needed something to represent the renewal of spring, something cute, something fertile, something fuzzy and cuddly. "Perhaps we should use the standard bearer of fertility, the bunny," declared one elder. After all, who can argue against bunnies? A quiet swell of conversation swept through the group. It became clear that the bunny proposal was gaining support. Soon, the two elders argument about the chicken or the egg began toriseabove the bunny discussion. "First was the chicken," yelled one. "You could not have a chicken without an egg," shot back the other. It seemed that the whole meeting was falling to pieces. Just then, an up and coming advertising executive named David jumped up on a table in the center of the group and shouted, "Stop!" He then proceeded to pull out an easel and some papyrus and began , to sketch out a complete marketing plan. He was a man possessed. He recapped the main ceremonial points on papyrus (this later became known as a "papyrus point" presentation). "First," he declared, "the bunny is the official Easter mascot, and also, the egg stays just not as a mascot. Bunnies will be the mascot because they are cute, cuddly, and best represent fertility because they breed like, well, bunnies. The kids will love it. The egg stays not so much for the kids, but as a conversation starter. Who can resist getting sucked into the whole chicken/ egg debate?" he queried. There was a muffled consensus on this point. "For the kids though, we can keep them busy using that new Mordechai PAAS dye kit to color the eggs and make them bright and cheery." The group, being tired and hungry came to agreement with everything David proposed and so Easter was born and agreed that the chicken should be axed, roasted and eaten. Years later, during Easter celebrations, the kids became enthralled with the chicken/egg debate, the elders not so much. After all, you can only hear "How come?" so many times. So began the tradition of hiding the eggs. The elders knew that by hiding the eggs, this would get the kinder out of their hair for a while and allow them some much needed Easter rest. Postscript: The strangest tradition, which followed much later, is the idea that the Easter Bunny would actually deliver the Easter eggs and candies to all the children on the night before Easter. This tradition is reputed to have developed in Germany. Based on my . personal observations, and readings, my hypothesis is that either Lewis Carroll or Edgar Allen Poe started this tradition. But I don't have the papers to back it up. �V iewpoint T HE P RIDE 0ip Tuesday April 07, 2009 Classifieds ji Retired investment executive w/adv. degree in Mathematics and six years college math instruction exp. is avail, to tutor college level math courses.

Perhaps you do not drink as frequently as that, but even just drinking twice a week will leave, at least, a $200 void in your bank account annually. How is that for some alcohol awareness during a time when everyone is lacking green in their pockets? April is Alcohol Awareness Month. It is the perfect time to reflect, especially as college students, on the responsibilities surrounding alcohol consumption. It takes a sound mind to maintain awareness o f any responsibility, the biggest of responsibilities being the well-being of yourself and others. Alcohol awareness is such an important issue for Cal State San Marcos that it is a requirement. Freshmen are required, within their first two semesters, to become knowledge- able and tested on alcohol and drinking. Alcohol can be a bittersweet topic of discussion. It can be a great addition, or an avoidable necessity for social gatherings. However, no one has been censored from the terrible consequences due to someone's lack of responsibility when throwing back cold ones or curing Monday blues with margaritas. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), a branch of the US Department of Health Services, "one 12 ounce of beer has about as much alcohol as a 1.5 ounce shot of liquor, a 5 ounce glass of wine, or wine cooler." Too often people believe that a swig from a can or bottle will somehow relieve the stress of life and they do not realize their need for intoxicating liquids. Knowledge about alcohol is crucial at any age, any academic level, and any socioeconomic status because the casual, beginning, or veteran drinker must recognize the difference between alcohol abuse and alcoholism. SAMHSA says that there is a clear difference between the two. Alcoholism is "alcohol dependence syndrome." Sufferers crave it. They lose control of their alcohol intake and often develop a physical dependence and an increase in tolerance. On the other hand, when alcohol causes someone to fail in fulfilling responsibilities, drinking in what could turn into a dangerous situation, and having reoccurring problems related to the consumption of alcohol, that is alcohol abuse. Whether you label yourself or someone else as an alcoholic,www. collegedrinkingprevention.gov, from alcohol and choose another created by the National Institute drink of choice.

The study mentions stress levels only lower when the women orgasm with a partner. Laughter Laughing reduces the levels of stress hormones like Cortisol and epinephrine and increases healthenhancing hormones like endorphins and neurotransmitters. Music Listening to music can be a great stress reliever because you can listen to it while you're doing your regular activities like eating, cleaning, paying bills (this can be stressful). Waking up to your favorite song can also set the tone for a stress free day. g -Jtoa't jHX^astinate^Jigjg^ ^ ^ We Jiear it all tfie t me, But procrastination really does lead to stress. Waiting until the last minute promotes a rushed feeling directly related to stressful emotions. Instead of finding reasons not to start your work, try looking at the task differently so that it does not seem overwhelming. If it is a larger project, break it up into smaller parts and try setting your own deadlines for them. Being stressed causes one to lose their ability to think, and everyone stresses at one point or another wfa^erJteut responsibuity, or even social stress.

"We are having this vigil now, but I think if the actual holiday took place during regular school hours, students and teachers could focus on it a lot more. But because it happens during spring break, César Chávez day itself doesn't seem like it's getting proper recognition." Lindsey Hernandez, who is a member of the CSUSM chapter of M.E.Ch*.A., agreed with Elorza for the most part. "I do think (the holiday) would get more recognition during regular hours, but it's not as if no one's doing anything," Hernandez said.

What to See *** S The Sounds BY AMY SALISBURY Faces & Places Editor Television is a powerful medium. 99% of American households have one TV. The majority have two or more. Anyone desiring maximum exposure can take comfort in knowing that television will put you in the homes of millions. Musicians would naturally consider this when trying to break into the industry. Countless companies approach art- ists with the prospect of broadcasting their music through* commercials. The prospect of being associated with a product might seem unattractive, but when the public receives the advertisement well, the artists could propel their way toward stardom. Case in point: The Sounds. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who isn't familiar with the Geico commercials. This car insurance company certainly has some brilliant ad writers at their disposal. The Geico gecko has had his fair share of fame, but the real stars are the cavemen. Sprung from Geico's slogan, "So easy a caveman could do it," the cavemen appeared in several of Geico's recent campaigns. A personal favorite of mine features the cavemen selling motorcycle insurance. Granted, the advertisements haven't swayed me from my current vehicle insurance provider, but they have exposed me to a band I wouldn't know otherwise. The Sounds are a Swedish band formed in the late 90s. Lead singer Maja Ivarsson founded the band with Felix Rodriguez, Johan Bengtsson, Jesper Anderberg, and Fredrik Nilsson. In 2002, they released their debut album, "Living in America." The album didn't break into the US charts, but their 2006 release, "Dying to Say This to You," became number 1 on the US Heatseeker chart, and 107 on the Billboard 200. "Hurt You," off "Dying to Say This to You," propels The Sounds' music into homes across the nation. The track, heavy with new-wave styling and punchy synth, turns a poptinged hook into the perfect commercial backdrop. I don't know how "cool" it is to be known as "that band from that commercial," but I wouldn't have known of The Sounds without Geico. As a result of this exposure, The Sounds are now touring as a support act with No Doubt across America. Their third studio album, "Crossing the Rubicon," comes out June 2. �Arts & Entertainment THE PRIDE Tuesday, Apr// 07, 2 009 / Kristina W o n g : W o n g Flew O v e r the C uckoo's N est Prominent A sian American performer visits C S U S M BY CONSUELO MARTINEZ Pride Staff Writer One of the fall highlights of CSUSM's Arts and Lecture Series includes the recent visit by Kristina Wong. The March 24 visit by Wong included a lecture to students in the day followed by an evening condensed performance of her latest award-winning theatrical piece, "Wong Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Wong, a prominent Asian American writer and solo performer, uses sharp humor and psychology in her interactive performance based on the high rates of mental illness and suicide among Asian American women. Wong plays the role of various fictional personas that keeps the audience absorbed and on an emotional rollercoaster during the entire performance. The evening included moments of silence and extreme laughter as Wong shifted the mood of her performance and storytelling. One minute the audience would be seriously engaged in complete silence as they the listened to the emotional pleas of Wong's character seeking help from knitted rags representing people. Minutes later, laughter burst from the audience when Wong's character would scream and cuss at them. The audience also participated with assigned responses to Wong's queues as they held up funny photos of her. The performance ended with a powerful and unexpected twist when revealed that Wong's character is a patient in a mental institution. The evening's performance closed with an open Q&A session with the artist. In addition to being a performer, Wong is also a community activist and educator. The organization Speak Out outlines Wong's previous work to include conducting writing workshops for women of color, and her previous work as former artistic director of the Asian American Teen Theater Company, where she created educational theater on teen issues such as HIV/ AIDS with youth. Wong uses unapologetic humor to address serious, and at times, taboo issues affecting women of color. In 2000, Wong created a mock mail order bride website (www.bigbadchinesemama.com). The site serves as a lesson website for men looking to order Asian brides and uses sarcastic humor in its content. The site's web page reads, "Yeah, you've seen mail order bride sites before, you may have even surfed over to an Asian porn site, but never in your wildest culturally commodifying sick sexual desires, have you been schooled by women (womyn) like this!" Whether Wong is doing a solo performance, lecturing, or helping with youth and community theatre, she is definitely someone worth paying attention to. Wong will continue to tour the United States with her intriguing performance of "Wong Flew Over the Image courtesy ofManja.org Cuckoo's Nest" as she makes her next stops in Chicago, New York and Minnesota.

A black bottle cap with a bow and arrow in gold stencil seals a brew with 5% alcohol by volume. Johnny Appleseed's efforts were not in vain. The dry cider is comprised of fermented apple juice amongst other ingredients. Strongbow pours watery generating a slight lancet. Little bubbles of bliss rise to the top throughout the duration producing a bitter aroma. The brew enters and immediately tickles the lips and tongue. After thé initial gentle shock, a bold apple flavor cleanses the palette. The crispness of the cider should pair well with light lunches or dinners such as turkey sandwiches and chicken salads. The sweetness side of the beer could also be enjoyed alongside simple ice cream flavors such as vanilla or chocolate. Naturally, apple lovers will love the cider.

Bringing a child to school may be the only alternative when daycare arrangements fall through or do not coordinate with class schedules. Since the average age of students at this university is 29, many students have preschool < children that require daycare supervision. Along with the challenge of attending school, these students also face the difficult task of finding affordable, convenient, and safe childcare. Unfortunately, CSUSM is the only university in the state system that offers no childcare facilities for its students. For the past two years, CSUSM student, Angela Lowder, has worked with the Associated Students, to provide a solution to the childcare problem. Since new laws restrict the State of California from funding the construction of any future childcare facilities, this burden has fallen on the students. Lowder has taken up this chalnumagentftt^ lenge and succeeded in establishing a fund President, Bill Stacy, >;^ ^^-a' ^ which has raised $25,000 towards the development of a daycare facility. However, Lowder explained that finding a suitable location to establish a center has proved to c Myouha^di&er^daiice^.bti^ • § f r o m r e g i o n . ^ T W ^ . j ^ s h ^ ^ be the greatest problem. A location on I^eai^;the s ame jjl^ campus has proved to be too costly.

If you have any questions or would like to assist us during the ceremony, please call Gabriela Sonntag (752-4356) in the library. Speaker to Talk on Alcohol Use Without Abuse Every year, millions of Americans and their families are adversely affected in some way by alcohol abuse. Yet, many people would find it difficult or impossible to define alcohol abuse. Chances are your answer would differ from that of the person sitting next to you. So what is a "safe" level of alcohol use? What happens when you get a DUI? Can you be arrested for driving after having one drink? And what about the new DUI law that passed in January? Soon you will have a chance to have these and other questions answered by an expert. On Tuesday, April 12, Student Health Services is sponsoring a presentation entitled "Alcohol Use Without Abuse" featuring guest speaker Rafael Thomson. Mr. Thomson 'April ..

Well, it is true that the CSUSM Alumni Association does need your money in order to operate, but it is the Association's goal to provide some real benefits for all its members, especially those of you who are newly graduated. During the next year, you may be surprised how often you feel the need to utilize the resources of the campus. Perhaps you will need to use the computer lab or the library or want to attend one of the Arts and Lectures events on campus. Maybe you want to find out what someone in your Psychology class is doing these days, but you don't know how to reach her. Members of the Alumni Association will have access to these things and much, much more! The Alumni Association of CSUSM was formed to provide a continued link between the university and its alumni, and to "enhance the continued cultural, educational, personal and professional development of its members." It has taken the greater part of the last two years for the Alumni Board to get organized, prepare a data base and to put together a nice package of benefits for its members. Between April 15 and May 31, graduating seniors can join the Alumni Association for $15. This is a $10 discount off the normal price. Members of the Alumni Association receive a quarterly newsletter, CSU Library privileges, access to the campus computer s labs and extended use of the Career Center and discounts at the bookstore, Arts and Lectures events, and several local restaurants, businesses and attractions. Besides all these benefits, the Alumni Association sponsors two social events including the annual Alumni Picnic, held in late August, assists at the commencement ceremony each year and provides representation on several campus committees. Within the next year, the association plans to create a directory, set up a scholarship fund and plan additional social events. Memberships can be purchased through the Alumni Office in Commons 201, or watch for a table on the Plaza. For further information on the Alumni Association, please call Alumni Affairs 752-4970, or Tanis Brown 752-4952. 1. $10 off regular membership f eesApril 1 5-May 31 2. Use of CSUSM Library 3.

The club is the brainchild of Rika Yoshii, faculty member of the College of Arts and Sciences. It boasts 15 Japanese students but only a few tentative Americans, although Rika is anxious to recruit more. Most of the students are business majors who have come to California to improve their English and experience what passes for American culture. If you have been wondering why you see so many Japanese students in the Dome but never seem to take a class with one, it is because most of the foreign exchange students spend their first year in intensive English as a Second Language (ESL) classes. Some of the Japanese students are mildly critical of this arrangement. Akari Sagane, for example, wishes she could take classes with local students. After learning a little about the Japanese educational system, you begin to appreciate just how determined CSUSM* s Japanese students must be. After 12 years in a school system which still allows corporal punishment, and is widely regarded as the most competitive in the world, most students look forward to an easy four years of college, a "four-year party" is how Akari describes it. For a student to relinquish this "rest" and go to a foreign country, with a different language and competitive universities, demonstrates their tenacity. One of the more interesting activities planned by the club is the formation of an international music band which will blend elements of Japanese music with American rock and roll. Rika hopes to send the band to Japan to see how they will be received. They are still in need of a male vocalist. Interested parties should contact Yoshii directly. An American student might wonder why he or she should join the club. Well, for a business student, there is an obvious advantage, and many liberal studies majors might benefit from some hands-on experience with another culture. For the rest of us, I can say that I found the Japanese students to be intelligent and interesting people and I look forward to the next club meeting. For more information about the Japa- Japanese Students get together to share their experiences of life at an American university nese Cultural Exchange Club contact Rika Yoshii at 752-4121 or 6231 Craven Hall.

T O V OTE �Project Wildlife looks for volunteers to care for animals, birds • p r o j e c t Wildlife is gearing up for 1 - ^ S a n Diego County's annual baby A season. Over the next five months, Project Wildlife will receive between 7-8,000 baby birds and mammals. Volunteers are needed to care for injured and orphaned wildlife four hours per week .at the Project Wildlife Care Facility in San Diego. Volunteers are also needed to care for baby birds and mammals in their own homes. Rescue/transport volunteers and telephone volunteers are in demand too. "The wildlife baby season is almost upon us," said Ly n Lacy e, spokesperson for Project Wildlife. "We desperately need caring volunteers to help with the thousands of injured, orphaned or displaced animals and birds in San Diego County." There are a number of ways to help in this massive effort to save San Diego's native wildlife. Individuals who are home during the day will be trained in the care and feeding of baby songbirds. Dependable people are needed to volunteer four hours a week at the Project Wildlife Care Facility, which is open seven days a week, 12 hours a day. "If you do find a baby bird or mammal, be sure it really is orphaned before you rescue •it," cautioned Lacye. "Many species leave their young while out searching for food. Be sure the parents are not returning to feed. Project Wildlife can rescue, rehabilitate and release these wild babies, but there is no substitute for the real parent." A baby bird that has fallen from the nest ¥ PROJECT WILDLIFE A SECONd chAINCE can be put back and the parent will continue to feed it. If you cannot reach the nest, put the bird in a plastic bowl lined with tissue or paper towels as close as possible to the original site. The parents will usually find it. When rescue becomes necessary, the bird or animal should be handled as little as possible. Often these otherwise healthy creatures die of stress. Keep the animal or bird warm, dark and quiet, and call Project Wildlife. Until you reach a volunteer, do not feed the wildlife. Baby birds and mammals can easily inhale food into their lungs and die, and incorrect diet can cause irreparable damage. Project Wildlife, a non-profit volunteer organization, has been in existence since 1975. Over7,000 animals and birds are brought to Project Wildlife each year. The organization receives no government funding and exists entirely on membership donations and charitable contributions. For more volunteer information, call 225 WILD or 588-4289.

Joel Grinolds, MD, MPH The good news is that the March rains have helped our drought condition; however, the bad news is that this may be a sinister allergy season because of the rain. Spring and early summer in Southern California make one out of six people fairly miserable with allergy symptoms. The recent rains have spurred the growth of indoor and outdoor molds, tree pollen counts, and soon grass pollen counts will be on the rise. Pollen can travel up to 100 miles so that it is not just local vegetation that can be a factor. The symptoms of allergic rhinitis (commonly called hay fever) may include itching and swelling of the mucous membranes of the nose, mouth, eyes, and lungs. It can cause sneezing, tearing, a clear discharge from the nose, post nasal drip, as well as a dry cough and wheezing. Approximately a third of the people with allergic rhinitis will also have wheezing with exercise called exercise-induced asthma. The average allergic rhinitis patient is symptomatic for 5 months a year and 62 percent of patients report they are bothered a "great deal" by their symptoms. This obviously restricts people from everyday activities and results in many work and school days lost. Total sales for medications, both over the counter and prescription, is^asily over 2 billion a year. There is no magic allergy antidote but an allergic patient has basically three choices for gaining some relief. The first is to avoid the Tai Chi Glasses to begin April 12 On Tuesday, April 12, a new beginning level Tai Chi Chuan class will be starting at CSUSM. The class will be held in ACD 104 from 12 Noon to 1 PM, and will run for six weeks, from April 12 to May 17. The class is open to everyone, and the cost is $30 for the six-week session. Regina Gill, shown at the right, a very experienced instructor, has o ffered this class at this exceptionally low price. Tai Chi Chuan is both exercise and meditation/relaxation. It is one of the best methods available for stress reduction, and requires no special clothing, only comfortable shoes. To register for the class, sign up at Student Health Services, respond to me personally by E-mail, or enroll at the door on Tuesday April 12. See you there. offending allergen. This is usually fairly difficult but there are steps one can take to reduce allergens especially in your home. For specifics see your health care provider f or counseling and literature. The second choice is to use medication to relieve your symptoms. If you self-treat allergy symptoms with over the counter medications, ask a pharmacist for advice. Don't abuse the nasal decongestant sprays, especially since they have adverse long-term effects. Be careful even of over-the-counter antihistamines because most of these will have some sedating effect. Studies have demonstrated that they have similar effects to alcohol in impairing ones ability to drive. Know when to give up on self-treatment. When allergies continue to interfere with your life, sleep, and work or you develop secondary infectious complications see your health care provider. A number of new, albeit fairly expensive, medications which relieve symptoms without causing sedation are now available by prescription after an evaluation by your health care provider. Lastly, immunotherapy, commonly referred to as allergy shots, based on specific allergy testing, can provide relief. This is appropriately the last resort if symptoms can not be adequately controlled by environmental avoidance and tolerated medications. If you have any questions or concerns contact your health care provider or call Student Health Services at 752-4915.

Mary Szterpakiewicz Editor-in-Chief Lexis/Nexis once again has become the subject of recent controversy. According to Gabriela Sonntag, Reference/Instruction Librarian, Lexis/Nexis is unavailable at the CSUSM library between the hours of 11 AM and 2 PM. Such was the case on the afternoon of March 8. On that Friday afternoon, several students were witness to an incident at a Lexis/ Nexis terminal in the CSUSM library. Library Information Assistants routinely walk around the computer islands offering assistance and answering questions. When history faculty member Patty Seleski sat down at a Lexis terminal, several individuals observed her frustration when the Lexis/Nexis terminal would not connect with the service. Seleski proceeded to hit the keyboard and expressed herself in a loud manner. Renee, one of the Information Assistants rushed to o ffer assistance and was met with " I'm not a student here, I 'm a faculty m ember... this is no way to run a library . . . this is no way to treat faculty." Seleski turned around, paused and added "and students." The Information Assistant attempted to explain to Seleski that CSUSM library access to the Lexis/Nexis system is routinely denied from 11 AM to 2 PM. According to Sonntag, Mead Data provides Lexis/Nexis service to educational institutions at a discounted rate. For this reason, on-line priority is given to businesses who pay the full rate to use the service, particularly during peak hours. Thus, Lexis/Nexis is not available to the CSUSM library terminals during those times. An exception may occur if you sign on to Lexis/Nexis before 11 AM— some have experienced no interruption of on-line service. Signs are visibly posted above each terminal stating these downtime periods. Seleski said she knew why it was down, but continued to complain. The Information Assistant suggested that Seleski speak with a librarian. Seleski replied "I know where to find the librarian" and continued to disrupt others in the library. "This is supposed to be a research institution," Seleski said, adding, "You should have a back-up." The Information Assistant then left to help a student at another computer terminal but later returned with librarian Stephanie Weiner. Weiner attempted to explain why Lexis/Nexis was down, but Seleski loudly and repeatedly said, "Get away from me!" One onlooker noted, "When the terminal d idn't work, she [Seleski] threw a temper tantrum, like a little kid. You would think that a faculty member would know how to channel their frustration in more construc- tive ways. If she wants priority access, she can pay for it." According to Sonntag, Lexis/Nexis service is available to faculty and staff through their personal computer terminals upon request. CSUSM's First Cougar Fun Run Amy Cubbison Contributing Writer In place of a much-dreaded final paper Dr. Betsy R eed's exercise physiology class is planning and promoting a 5K fun run at CSUSM. The professor suggested it and the students were quick to respond, as you might imagine. The Fun Run is not only a run, entrants can also walk. The distance is a 5K which is 3.1 miles. There is no time constraint and there will be three hours to complete the race. The reason for the Fun Run is jto promote physical activity while raising money for future exercise facilities such as a volleyball court. If you are interested in entering the 5K, registration forms will be available on campus shortly. Along with the form there will be a helpful guide on how to train for non athletes . The entry fee is only $3 for students and $5 for other interested individuals. The race will take place on May 6, 1994 in the CSUSM parking lot. Late registration will begin at 8 AM and the actual race at 9 AM. The race will go on until 12 Noon. Following the race there will be refreshments and a r affle with some terrific prices. There will also be complimentary body fat analysis and blood pressure screening. Results of the tests are private and for the persons own benefit. All of the students in exercise physiology are extremely enthusiastic about being part of CSUSM's first annual 5K Cougar Fun Run, so please exhibit some school spirit and join in on the fun. It will be history in the making! Not only will entering the race be a great incentive to get in shape for summer, but it will help CSUSM get established and respected in the San Marcos area.

PUBLIC SAFETY NEWS Dave Ross Public Safety Officer W ELCOME BACK We hope that everyone had a great and safe spring break. Not too miich longer till graduation! P OLICE B IKES This summer you will see CSUSM Police Officers riding bicycles on patrol. We just finished an excellent three day class at UCSD. The class covered patrol procedures, bike safety, the advantage of officers on bikes, and many more subjects. I didn't know there was so much to know about riding a bicycle. The bike program will give the officers more opportunity to get much closer to the students and staff. The bikes will also allow us to better monitor the parking lots and campus area, creating a safer environment for everyone. B UCKLE U P As I drive around town and the campus I see many people not wearing their safety belts, when they drive or are passengers. Did you know that in 1992 safety belts saved 5,226 lives and prevented about 136,000 moderate-to-critical injuries. From 1983 to 1992, it is estimated that safety belts saved 34,794 lives. Be smart, take the time to buckle up.

In conjunction with National Women's History Month, Deborah Small's advanced computer art class first researched eight women who played an important role in San Diego's history. Then they created large-scale, computer-generated art based on the accomplishments of these notable women. The works will be on exhibit at various locations on the campus till May 21. The eight women whose lives are featured in the exhibit are: Kate Sessions, botanist; Ellen Browning Scripps, publisher and philanthropist; Delfina Cuero, herbalist; Katherine Tingley, theosophist; Mary Chase Walker, San Diego's first school teacher; Belle Benchley, wildlife advocate and zoo director; Dona Juana Machado, early resident born at the Presidio in 1814 and oral historian; and Califia, legendary black Amazon queen who inspired the naming of California. The CSUSM students who created the artwork are: Katherine Johnson, Jeri Kalvin, Linda Kallas, Erika Kent, Kelly Mundell, Diana Mcintosh, Yvonne Ramsey, Genevieve Venegas, Norman Manes, and Jenny Jackson. So take some time to see and admire these interesting exhibits around campus. RIGHT: Katherine Johnson's project honoring Kate Sessions.

Vazquez Guest Editorial There has been a great deal of discussion regarding the actual cost illegals represent to the State of California. Many politicians, such as Mickey Conroy in an editorial published March 11 mThe Pride, suggest that the reason for our current increase in tuition fees has been directly related to the enrollment of illegal immigrants in our universities. He blames the illegals for the continuous rise in tuition fees and the decline of available classes in the CSU system. According to Conroy, there are at least 700 undocumented students attending in four of the 21 universities in the CSU system. But, let's presume for a moment that he is correct. 700 Students is insignificant compared to some 400,000 students in the CSU system. It represents. 17 percent, less than two-tenths of a percent. One can only wonder where he got this information? What kind of study was done? Which universities is Conroy referring to? What determines illegal status and so on? Last week, I telephoned Conroy's office to check on this information. After being transferred three times, I was told someone would get back to me. To this day, I am still waiting. Conroy gives no proof and therefore, has n a basis for arguing that illegals are depleting resources from our schools. When I spoke with Kathleen Fannella, Assistant Director of Admissions and Records on campus, she replied, "We have no way of knowing who is undocumented." The statements made by Conroy are misleading. They imply that illegals are exhausting and abusing our educational resources. These students are paying; therefore, they are supporting rather than exhausting the educational system. They do not cause a burden to anyone, nor to the state. Since they reside in the state, they become taxpayers by being consumers, employees, and students. It is precisely because of this reason that the CSU system's current policy abides by the Leticia A court order, which classifies eligible undocumented students as state residents for tuition purposes. As members of working and tax-paying families, they can enroll and pay state tuition fees rather than out-of-state tuition. Assemblyman Conroy's bill, AB 1801, would deny students access to higher education based on legal status. It would create obstacles to an education by charging out-of-state tuition fees to undocumented residents. Denying education to immigrants would not benefit anyone; rather, it would hurt society. Colleen BentlyAdler from the office of the chancellor for CSU stated that "these students should be treated fairly," adding "our office and the Board of Trustees support the fact that these students should be eligible for higher education, and they should pay in-state tuition fees." Bentley-Adler noted, "we certainly do not look at these students as criminals." What Assemblyman Conroy is doing is diverting the issue of California's economic crisis by attacking and accusing the undocumented; he is using them as scapegoats. Because they have no voice or vote in this issue, they have no way to defend themselves. Insinuations against illegal immigrants contribute to perpetuate the already worsened image of immigrants in the state. Conroy also perpetuates institutionalized racism by denying education to immigrants. Conroy creates bad sentiments in general by referring to the undocumented immigrants as "illegal aliens" and as "criminals." These remarks are offensive, derogatory and completely irresponsible, especially coming from a public official. Conroy's allegations are simplistic and undermine our intelligence. He is giving us a fourth grade interpretation of a complex issue. Does he really think students are going to accept his racist views without question? How can he expect to gain student support by treating us as elementary school students? l &ttif^ >,tolit:he Editor s Health Services offers more than just medicine Dear Editor: This letter is a very belated thank you to everyone in Health Services. Last semester I was victim of the flu, pneumonia and a few other invading microbes. As a result 1 had to visit Health Services several times and needed lots of TLC, which was freely given by the entire staff. Both Dr. Grinolds and Nurse Practitioner Judith Weiss-Zinger took their time to examine thoroughly my physical condition and listen to my physical complaints. I appreciate the careful attention I received and wish that all my experiences with medical staff had been as positive as mine have been here at CSUSM. Thank you again. _, A AmyParsloe In Defense of the Lounge Dear Editor: The recent addition of a pool table and a few video games to the student lounge has caused quite an uproar—two letters to the editor in the last issue of The Pride were dedicated to bashing this unthinkable invasion of academic integrity. With such limited space and a limited budget, the argument goes, why are we wasting valuable resources on mind-numbing entertainment? This is an understandable position, one that deserves a well thought-out, keenly-argued empirical retort—LOOSEN UP!! I like to play pool. Obviously, I also like to acquire knowledge and engage in intellectual discovery. That is the primary preoccupation of all college students and the sole purpose for the existence of our fine university. But I honestly do not believe that Employee/Students Pay Fees anyone's academic careers will be the least Dear Editor: bit threatened by allowing actual lounging in The nonsequitur arguments presented the student lounge.

Weir Thomas Lee Huntington �Nadinne Cruz to speak on community service CHILDCARE continued from Page 1 administrators continue to alert the community about the need f or funding of this project. President Stacy met with the Associated Students at their retreat and told them that the development of this facility continues to be a priority at the university. While a daycare center at C SUSM would be convenient f or students, it would also provide affordable childcare. A sliding scale could help lower-income students manage the cost associated with childcare. Kuchler also noted that perhaps the university f aculty and staff could use the facility at a slightly higher rate, which would help the center offset costs. Kuchler also noted that with the permission of the Associated Students, the center could serve an academic purpose. CSUSM's psychology department has indicated an interest in creating a program that would allow students to observe the children and incorporate the center into an internship program. The facility could then serve both as a valuable service f or parents, and as a hands-on learning experience for students. However, the progress made by Lowder could be slowed when she leaves CSUSM this semester. As much as this facility is needed at the campus, Kuchler noted that another student or students will need to come forward tocontinueLowder'sefforts. Lowder said, " I have stirred up the embers. Now, I hope someone will come along to keep them going."

P^^^SSBB^b — # SAN MARCOS PRESENTS On April 20, 1994, Dr. Nadinne Cruz, a leader in multiculturalism and service-learning will speak at CSUSM. The Service-Learning Initiative will host the following events: 10-11 AM Open Session CRA 6201 12-1:30 PM Community Service ACD 315, Diversity & Social Change 2:30-4 PM Open session CRA 1201 The open sessions are for administrators, faculty, staff, and students wishing to join in topical discussions involving how service relates to issues of diversity (topics to be announced). Dr. Nadinne Cruz will also speak to the diversity of the CSUSM servicelearning goals. The following information is an introduction to the topics and areas where she has highly influenced the field of experiential education and service-learning by her innovative ideas. A Filipina-American educator, Dr. Cruz was 1992-1993 Lang Visiting Professor of Social Change at S warthmore College where she piloted a Democratic Practice Project course in the political science department. The course emphasizes multicultural and community-based perspectives on "The Politics of Social Responsibility and Public Service." In this course, "community involvement" cuts both ways: students are involved in community service; community people are involved with teaching by modeling options for exercising social responsibility and contributing to the public good. As Executive Director of HECUA (Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs, St. Paul), Dr. Cruz developed for the 18 member colleges several community-based programs located in Latin America, Scandinavia, San Francisco, and Minneapolis-St. Paul. The programs model ways in which faculty and student relationships with and in various communities form the critical core of teaching "materials." The 22-year old consortium has demonstrated a cost-effective option for supporting faculty in sustained innovations and cutting-edge practice in community-based teaching. Nadinne Cruz also provides workshops on multiculturalism and community-based teaching for college faculty, students and community groups. In the l ast two years, these have involved, among others: Wisconsin Association of Independent Colleges and Universities Faculty Development Network; St. Olaf College faculty; board and staff members of the foundation, Headwaters Fund and of Fresh Air Public Radio; students at S warthmore College; faculty and administrators from fifteen different institutions of higher education who participated in the 1993 Campus Compact Institute; and 1993-1994 grantees of the Corporation of National and Community Service. She will also be a keynote speaker at a Western Regional Campus Compact Institute to be held at the University of San Diego on July 7-9, 1994. In addition, Dr. Cruz is cofounder of the Philippine Study Group of Minnesota Foundation and t he P hilippines-Minnesota Grassroots Linkages Project. She is on the Board of Colors, a Minnesota journal of opinion by writers of color. The lecture and visit to CSUSM by Dr. Cruz is funded through the CSUSM ServiceLearning grant from the Corporation on National and Community Service. Students, faculty, staff, administrators, and community leaders are invited to attend. ? EVERY T HURSDAY f 8 TO CLOSE . COLLEGE N H GT .

A Howard film could always be counted upon to provide relatively guiltless, feel-good, populist entertainment that left your head the minute you left the theatre. There is nothing wrong with that, of course; welldone schtick can be just as valuable and timeless as high film art (see Gone with the Wind, Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, When Harry Met Sally, Star Wars or any Frank Capra movie). Recent Howard films, though (specifically Backdraft and Far and Away) seemed soulless, all special effects, emotional scores and big movie star smiles—two hour music videos advertising the glamour of Hollywood. The Paper, Howard's new behind the scenes look at a New York tabloid, cleanly breaks that little losing streak. Certainly, it is a fast-paced, well-produced commercial crowdpleaser and it claims to be nothing more. But it also has grit — sloppy edges and ambiguity and antiheroes and moral dilemmas. But not moral dilemmas that stand in the way of expediency or plot development—this is no Schindler's List. Rather it is an unusually well-written, well-acted, hugely entertaining dramatic comedy. And there's nothing wrong with that. Indeed, one could argue that a film like The Paper is harder to make than some high-minded, three-hour historical epic. But that is a fruitless argument, and there's no need to compare artistic apples and oranges here. Suffice to say that Howard in The Paper, despite severaldangerous moments of near-cliche, pulls off a rare achievement: tightly paced, quick-witted controlled chaos. He is helped immeasurably towards that end by a fine ensemble cast including Michael Keaton, Robert Duvall, Marisa Tomei, Randy Quaid and Glenn Close. Duvall is especially (and characteristically) fine as the hard-edged editor-in-chief with "a prostate the size of a bagel." Keaton delivers the finest performance of his previously undistinguished acting career and Tomei proves herself worthy of the sudden fame that has followed here since her Academy Award for My Cousin Vinnie. Close and Quaid tend to ham it up a bit but usually provide the appropriate level of comic relief. The Paper is at its best when it stays in the chaotic, insane newsroom; the pace slackens a bit during the obligatory family trouble subplots. Fortunately, though, Howard always brings it back to the frantic search for the story. The glee in Keaton's voice as he tells off the editor of an uptown, New York Times—like newspaper is the best advertisement for adrenaline pumping, down and dirty journalism since All the President's Men. Keaton rushes home to his pregnant wife at the end of the movie and curses his journalistic obsession. But this is just conventional audience b aitingit's obvious that the film's heart is buried deep inside,the Metro section, and that's why it all succeeds so well. 66 An Independent Female OR a Man Has His Pride *' Yareli Arizmendi Faculty, Visual and Performing Arts As its Spring 1994 theater production, The San Marcos Players (CSU San Marcos) is currently producing An Independent Female or a Man Has His Pride. In the old tradition of traveling troupes and the revived 60's tradition of "street" and "agit-prop" theater, An Independent Female.. . takes a closer look at the relationship between love, power and economic dependence. Written by The San Francisco Mime Troupe, biting satire and intelligent humor combine with a highly melodramatic acting style—in the "who will save me now" tradition—to deliver an entertaining and thought-provoking theatrical event. As a prelude to An Independent Female. . . ,The San Marcos Players present "The Difference Between Men and Women," a piece written by Michelle Lewellen (CSUSM student). This scene offers the insightful discussion of two eight-year old girls on the subject of men and women. The group will be performing on April 18 at the CSUSM Dome at 12 Noon; April 23 at the Oceanside Day of Art Festival; April 29 at CSUSM in conjunction with "Bring Our Daughters to Work"; May 3 at Palomar College (Music Court, 2 PM); and May 12 at CSUSM as part of teh Annual Arts Festival. For more information, contact Yareli Arizmendi at 752-4149. iil fpjjtf ' ••ft 1 c Dryve, a new musical group, comes to CSUSM Wednesday, April 20. They will be performing in front of The Dome at 12 Noon. The group had a humble beginning, knowing only one song and playing it at any coffee shop that would have them. Cory Verner and Paul Donovan, who started Dryve, are the band's primary songwriters. Within the last year, they were joined by Steve Pratchner and Kieth Sansone. Recently, they added accordian, violin, and tin whistle to their musical ensemble. Their set is diverse, pulling from American roots—country, bluegrass, and rockabilly with a common thread running throughout that is distinctly Dryve. �More to Do in San Diego County San Marcos Celebrates "Day of the Family" liiiilill THEATER AND CONCERT TICKETS offers classes for windsurfing, sailing, kayaking, Half-Price tickets to tonight's performances rowing, surfing, water skiing, and scuba diving, of theater, ballet, symphony and other events. at very competitive prices.

Northern Indian Classical Music Comes to CSUSM As part of its Arts & Lectures Series, CSUSM is sponsoring a concert of Northern Indian classical music on April 17 at 3 PM in Academic Hall, Room 102. The concert features Kartik Seshadri on the sitar and Abhiman Kaushal on the tabla (a pair of small, different-sized hand-drums used in Indian music). Kartik Seshadri's first musical inspiration was listening to Pandit Ravi Shankar. Kartik made his concert debut as a sitarist at the age of six and was nationally recognized as a prodigy. Kartik first met and received Panditji's blessings in 1965 and formally became his disciple in 1975. In the past year, Kartik accompanied Pandit Ravi Shankar in major concert halls and festivals in India, Israel, Europe, Mexico, Middle East, and the United States, including Carnegie Hall. Kartik will be accompanied on tabla by Abhiman Kaushal. Abhiman comes from a musical family. His father is a tabla artist, and his mother is a dancer and teacher of Bharat Natyam, Kachupudi and Odissi style. He is currently studying under Pandit Ravi Shankar and frequently accompanies professional vocalists and instrumentalists all over India. Admission is $3 for CSUSM students and $5 for general admission. Tickets may be purchased at the University's bookstore during normal business hours or by calling 7524730. Tickets may be purchased at the door one-half hour before the performance, unless it is sold out. For further information, call the Arts and Lectures Office at 752-4945.

Richard Harvey, fraternity member and head of this big-brother-type program, says eligible teens "don't have to be gang bangers from San Marcos or Vista. They can be a surfer from Del Mar with poor study habits." Once a week, Sigma Phi Delta members will take troubled boys to the movies, teach them computer skills, and help them with their homework. The goal of the program is to provide positive role models for teens who need special guidance. Harvey says he can relate to misguided teenagers. Although he says he has never been in trouble with the law, he has "done dumb things like drop out of high school." Sigma Phi Delta wants to show young boys that anyone can succeed. Not all troubled boys are eligible for the "Brothers For Life " program. The fraternity will not accept any apathetic teens. Harvey said ' They must, be motivated. They will be screened and evaluated for their potential and desire to succeed." For more information about this program call Richard Harvey at 259-1533.

"The University. . .encourages students to examine moral and ethical issues central to their development as responsible men and women." 4. "Students.. .seek to understand human behavior, culture, values, and institutions." The University bears the responsibility of living up to its own standards. Perhaps an examination is in order. How well does the University meet the challenge of survival in today's social crisis? Here are 10 social issues to consider: (1) Measure performance in light of a new book, The Fall of the Ivory Tower: Government Funding, Corruption, and the Bankrupting ofAmerican Higher Education, by Hillsdale College president George Roche. (2) Crime statistics show violent felonies peak at 15 to 19, ages when students are considering college. Even with education, a violent person becomes only an educated vilent person, unless that person changes. (3) Our country has the highest violent crime rate in the world. Is training available to deter the conscience at the university level? (4) Judeo-Christian ethics were the basis upon which our country was built. Students of morality are essential to social survival; fundamental changes leading to high moral character, a goal of the Mission Statement. (5) Courses contributing to the solution and not the problem. Stemming the drift toward immorality and moral relativism. (6) Learning responsibility, facing consequences. Warnings against substance abuse. (7) Back to basics—objective truth for social reform to replace opinion, perception, credibility and contemporary culture. (8) Emphasis on public standards of virtue, objective morality, moral judgment. The loss of moral truth leads to tyranny. (9) Civil rights and the free exercise of what people believe should not prevent religious civil liberties. (10) A critical review of secular humanism, suspect as a "religion" with overtones of immediate gratification leading to neo-paganism. A final word of caution in observing and considering our impending headlong social collapse. History is known to repeat itself. Remember Rome, a onertime dominating power of the world. What happened to it? The Roman Empire declined and fell because of immorality and excessive governmental bureaucracy. Is there a lesson in this to challenge us to do something for survival? Dr. Davis is Professor Emeritus of Finance and Industry, retired from Cat State Fresno, serving as a volunteer pro tern advisor of students in the SALT Society, a Club affiliated with Inter-Varsity Christian fellowship.

Looking at the history of America, civil liberties are often a victim of war. To better understand the threat that war poses to civil liberties, it is important to review civil liberties in the past wartimes of America. In 1798, only, 10 years after the ratification of the Constitution, America entered the Quasi War with France and passed the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798. Among other laws, the acts made it illegal to protest a^ains| the a<&riînistîïtion's policy, a direct violation of the f irst Amendment. The Act was not very jpovtërfiil because!! only resulted in 25 arrests, of i #Iich only 10 wetSè convicted- * . In the 1860s, President Abraham •Lincoln, in order to "keep the union together," passed emergency Jaws that violated the Fifth Amendment and Habeas Corpus, outlined in Section 9 of the Constitution. Military commanders were allowed to suspend due process and were held prisoners for years without a trial or at times, without suspicion pf a crime. The Espiona|e Act of 1917, which was passed during World War I, allowed for the prosecution of 2,000 people, convicting 1,000 of them. When ratified in 1918, it forbade opposition to the war by banning "disloyal utterances Such utterances included "unpatriotic" conversation. For instance, criticizing the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) and the Red Cross was also considered unlawful. Other comments that were banned were those questioning the U.S. aad British- relationship, discouraging women from knitting socks for the troops, and citing ¡¡¡at contrary t o the teaching of Jesus.

"I became interested in the program when my good friend committed suicide when I was 15 and they were handing these cards out at his funeral." The small white cards have a yellow ribbon printed on one side with a caption that says, "This ribbon is a lifeline." A person in distress can hand the card to someone, a parent, a friend, a pastor, or a doctor to reach out and ask for help. See RIBBON, page 2 Dance Performance S EE PAGE 8 •È Yellow Ribbon Program According to the National Mental Health Awareness Campaign, suicide is the leading cause of death among college students. Going to college can be an especially difficult time of adjustment for students, many of whom are leaving home f or the first time.

Yet swelling enrollments among low-income and working class families, massive state budget cuts, and rising tuition continue to strain our ability to ensure access to a college education for all Americans," said Representative George Miller, the Senior Democrat on the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. Miller, a Democrat from California, introduced two higher education bills to the House Committee in Washington on Mar. 18, 2003, known as the College Affordability and Lifetime Savings Act and the College Opportunity for a Better America Act. According to the official remarks made by Miller at the presentation to the House of Representatives, the College Affordability and Lifetime Savings Act proposes to help ease the burden of student loan debt for millions of Americans. The act will possibly change the current student loan tax deduction benefit to a tax credit - which will deliver a larger rebate on the interest paid on student loans to borrowers. The savings for the typical borrower who is earning $20,000 a year will more than triple to $347 in theirfirstyear of repayment. The Department of Education has reported that 7 million students are expected to take out federal student loans to cover the costs of their education this year alone.

She also added, "I wish [suicide] didn't exist. But it does and it's a growing problem." Rivera said that the actual statistics for suicide are much higher than reported because police won't label a death a suicide unless there's clear evidence, such as a suicide note, that the death was intentional. But other statistics about suicide are clear and alarming. Eleven young people, between the ages of 15 and 24, die by suicide every day in this country. Since 1990, there has been a 120 percent increase in suicides in students between the ages of 10 and 14 years old. "Suicide is an equal opportunity killer," said Rivera. It is not particular to one race or socio-economic group. But, Rivera said, "Suicide is not about death and not about dying - it's about ending the pain." Some signs that someone may be considering suicide are: Depression or withdrawal Changes in sleeping or eating habits Giving away possessions Acute perfectionism Listening to music about death Hostile or reckless behavior fall, which will train Peer Education and If someone is exhibiting Support (PEAS) counselors these behaviors, Rivera says, and Resident Assistants a friend can help by listening, (RAs) in the new dorms. offering empathy, and giving CSUSM will be thefirstcola friend the hope that alterna- lege in the area to introduce tives to suicide are available. and implement the program.

In addition, nearly two-fifths of all The College Opportunity for a Better America Act student borrowers graduate proposes filling the need with unmanageable debt levels, and as a result, many may seek higher-salaried positions rather than public service careers," according to Miller. The National Center for Education statistics reported that the estimated need for teachers in the United States will be more than 2 million new teachers over the next 10 years. In a recent report, the American Hospital Association found that there is a national shortage of 126,000 nurses; just as the number of nursing school graduates decreased by 29 percent between 1995 and 2001. In addition, the number of unfilled child welfare specialists is rising; while the nation's childcare programs are suffer high staff turnover, driven by poor compensation. With the combination of higher tuition, state budget cuts, and secondary education being the minimum education needed for higher income careers, the two bills that have been presented stand to offer a break for students who need a little extra help to complete their goals of a college education or a career in public service. Shems performed a piece entitled "Role Reputations. Resistance. Being Wonder Woman in Today's Society" as she approached issues of a woman's identity in U.S. society by matching images of herself, as daughter, child, and friend, with related terms such as submissive, witch, and skank. She also used music as another way to express her dissatisfaction about the way women are represented or treated in our society, by describing the likes of Wendy 0 . Williams, Blondie and Gwen Stefani with terms like "twat," "slut" and "goody goody." The evening's last performance, "Monster Grrrl," was performed by a brilliantly blue haired Schaffman as she flailed energetically about the classroom, flopping on tabletops like a fish out of water, and flashing the "Women Rights" manual to her audience. This and many other unique and interesting events were held on campus this month. "It is a wonderful opportunity to honor all those women before us and today (including those fictitious characters!) who have worked and continue to pave the way for equal rights," said Schaffman. A panel made up of the three performers gave closure to the evening, as the audience was encouraged to ask questions and engage with the current discussion of Women's History Month and Women's rights. The topics addressed included the role models of the three women, which included mothers, grandmothers, female artists, and earlier "girl power" movements in history as well as the reasons each woman gave for being active in such an ambitious cause. When rapper Goldstein was asked about her f uture goals as an artist she responded, "Being Miss Liberty is all about creating change and I plan on doing it one rap at a time." "It was actually pretty shocking at first," described audience member Ashley Moses, "but I think that was the point. I had never considered some of the issues presented by these women. It really opened my eyes." �•••»•ili . iÄPBMPBW ÜäHmmSm 5 C ontrolled Substance for Compassionate Use :: : J wart II - Information 8 and Activism By JEANNE SAPP Pride Staff Writer about marijuana use, but she does not note their response in their medical record.

Gilmore said, "You'd give up everything by way of individuality, privacy, anonymity ... and even then you would not have total security." -Former director of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, James Woosley, has taken a different perspective. Woosley has commented that the U.S. is not as intrusive as it could be. He believes that Americans "are going to have to make some other hard choices, as time goes on, about reconciling civil liberties and security, and realizing that, while we wish they didn't conflict in a war, they do."

Estos soldados han dado la vida por un país que muchas veces se les ha negado como propio por no haber nacido aquí o por ser hijo de Los "mojados", los que vienen a quitarnos los trabajos, inmigrantes. los "welfereros", los que no hablan inglés, los high-school dropouts.

Sin embargo, lo que muchas conflicto entre Irak y Estados Unidos ha demostrado todo personas no terminan de entender es que para estos sollo contrario a estas creencias o mitos pero sobre todo ha dados la ciudadanía ya se había alcanzado en el corazón, puesto en descubierto la realidad de muchos de los latinos aunque tal vez no para aquellos que necesitan verificar la que vivimos en este país, que es ante todo también nuestro validez de algo en un pedazo de papel. país.

También cabe mencionar que entre los prisionedados que hasta el día de hoy han fallecido representando ros de guerra se encuentra una soldado panameña. Pese a a este país. La única diferencia entre ellos y otros solda- esto, muchas personas en esta nación siguen pensando que dos es que muchos de ellos ni siquiera son ciudadanos los latinos solo vienen a este país a tomar algo, a llevarse americanos. Un simple certificado de papel verificando algo, pero como ya se ha demostrado esto no es cierto. su ciudadanía estadounidense no fue requerido por ellos Se ha demostrado que es todo lo contrario. Los latinos a ga ns también dan su vida como cualquier ciudadano americano por representar a los Estados Unidos. Es tanto el amor y dedicación que muchos inmigrantes le tienen a este país que sin importar si son ciudadanos legalmente o no, están dispuestos a darlo todo por recibir tan poco a cambio. Digo tan poco a cambio porque las fuerzas armadas ni siquiera pueden ayudar a algunos de los familiares de estos héroes latinos á pagar por su funeral. El dinero dedicado a pagar por los funerales de los caídos es tan solo una parte de los gastos del funeral, es un poco más de la mitad de lo que se necesita. Dicha medida ha forzado a algunos familiares de los soldados fallecidos a verse en una situación difícil por la falta de dinero para pagar por un funeral. ¿Acaso el valor de sus vidas es tan poco que ni siquiera se ha destinado un fondo monetario para enterrarlos decentemente? ¿Acaso se necesita dar algo más que la propia vida para que el gobierno y sus instituciones del ejército puedan reconocer la gran labor de estos muchachos que han muerto luchando por representar a su país? En lo personal, no puedo encontrar una respuesta para justificar esto que está pasando. Mientras tanto la lucha sigue y la lista de latinos y de soldados en general fallecidos en combate sigue y seguirá aumentando. Entre más destrucción se haga en Irak, más reparaciones tendrán que hacerse. Así que Estados Unidos tendrá mucho trabajo que hacer los meses siguientes después delfinde la guerra y por supuesto muchos millones de dólares que gastar para reparar lo que sus bombas y armas hayan destruido en el lejano país. Ya que después del daño hecho entraran a reparar lo destruido. Irónicamente, mientras se gastarán miles de dólares haciendo reparaciones a los daños hechos por este mismo, Estados Unidos no tendrá suficiente dinero para enterrar a los que murieron luchando en la tierra de las reparaciones. Ni siquiera de esta manera tan insignificante se les puede agradecer a aquellos soldados caídos que fueron ordenados a luchar por algo que quizás muchos de ellos nunca entendieron. Mientras tanto, los familiares de los soldados muertos seguirán no sólo buscando una explicación a la muerte de sus seres queridos pero preguntándose si tan enorme sacrificio valió la pena. Que en paz descansen todos los soldados que han muerto en la guerra. Su valentía, amor, y sacrificio siempre serán admirados y recordados. ¡Gracias de todo corazón! ¡Gracias a los soldados ciudadanos de corazón!

Seeing The Pride student newspaper first hand suffer the effects of the lack of advertising and funding, many questions entered my head, but one overshadowed the others. Is it the university's alcohol policy not to let The Pride student newspaper advertise happy hours at restaurants and bars, drink specials on college nights at dance clubs, and alcohol in general? If this is so, why is it that Rick Moore, Director of the Office of Communications which puts out "In the Loop" every week, allows student organizations to advertise their social events at restaurant bars? According to Rick Moore, he does not want students at Cal State San Marcos to be perceived in this light (As barflies),so why does put out these social gatherings which encourage students to stay after 8 P.M. for karaoke. Are these student organizations getting special permission from the president's office to do this? What about Cougar night at Zip & Zack's? I am not against having social gatherings at restaurant bars, on the contraiy, I am all for it. But I am against university administration giving The Pride rules on what kind of advertisements they should have when they are not following it themselves.

Audiences have been bombarded with images of destruction congruent with the American view of military superiority over those we hunt, thus providing viewers a sense of continuity and leaving them with a sentiment of pride for their homeland. Not taking into account issues of morality or public opinion, the combination of first-rate technology and the "real" element of this war appear to have captured America's attention. The cast of the most extravagant show in television history also proves to be rather impressive, as they have given life to an otherwise run-of-the-mill example of a military shellacking. The hero, our not so articulate Commander in Chief, has utilized his speech writers to their utmost potential by offering a stream of mouth watering one-liners worthy of Emmy nominations (if there were such a category), to the thousands of journalists worldwide who hang on his every word. In contrast, the villain, Saddam Hussein, has slithered away into the dark underbelly of his outwardly malevolent regime, again awaiting his chance to resurface and claim more blameless souls. The ever-steely Donald Rumsfeld plays the Secretary of Defense, and is giving the performance of his career, while Ollie North, most commonly known for his role as the victimized pawn in the Iran Contra Hearings, has returned to the stage in a supporting but nonetheless stirring role as the stoic Colonel in thefield.Even the media itself has taken part in the global melodrama by providing mediators like the antagonistic Bill O'Reilly, hunky Shepard Smith, and the always-steamy Greta Van Susteren. Now with the dramatic rescue of American POW Jessica Lynch the media has yet anotherflagto wave and another axe to grind with Hussein and his sinister cohorts.

Many stories have been held back from staff writers because of the lack of funding. Why can't the same rules apply for The Pride newspaper and "In the Loop" when it comes to advertising? Going this route would give some power to The Pride over what is published and what is not. There are many bars and restaurants in San Marcos and The Pride student newspaper, along with the bars themselves, could definitely benefit from having their business; especially next fall when Cai State San Marcos transforms itselffroma commuter school into a 24-hour campus. I believe with the changing environment going on at Cai State San Marcos there should also be a change in the university's primitive alcohol policies. E ditor's N ote: The Pride is currently undergoing negotiations with the office of Student Affairs and Student Health Services in order to revise our current advertising policy. They have been very helpful and hopefully we will see a change in the Pride's restrictions sometime in the near future. Stay tuned for further updates. So the war has action, intrigue and an extraordinary plot, complete with effects that would give George Lucas wet dreams. Add this to the fact that it is brought to life by a gifted cast, and by Hollywood standards, you've got a winner. In almost every respect it's the perfect show. That's right, I said almost. There are two key criticisms that any true fan of high drama could unearth with without much difficulty. First of all the name of the war itself is somewhat lackluster. George Bush Sr.'s war was called Operation Desert Storm. Now that was a powerful name for a military campaign. Operation Iraqi Freedom is uninspired and just doesn't do it for me. How about Operation Finish What We Started Twelve Years Ago? That I could get behind. And the second criticism is that it's just not sexy enough. Every show on television that is "all the rage" is centered around sex. Let's face it. Sex sells, and without it how is the war supposed to compete with shows like Blind Date, The Fifth Wheel and VIP1 Yes, we all have a right to our opinions, and we have a right to speak those opinions freely.

By all traditional definitions, conservatism means cautious, moderate, or disposed to preexisting establishments, institutions and norms. Simply put, being a conservative means not wanting to "rock the boat" for the sake of stability. Understanding this, all media, except for independent media (both left and right), is conservative. ABC, NBC, FOX, CNN, etc. all broadcast to vast segments of the American public — to people with extremely diverse backgrounds and opinions. Because of sponsorship, advertisements, and for the sake of ratings* these companies very shrewdly avoid pressing any extreme opinion (right or left), as they do not want to alienate viewers. In this sense, the media is neither left nor right, but strategically moderate because they do not want to "rock the boat." This is the argument of a conservative media: the industry chooses not to side with any particular cause; therefore, by definition the media is very conservative. Labeling the media as conservative is not necessarily a pejorative term though. It is simply stating that the industry is limiting the scope of discussion and the facts or viewpoints presented (left or right). Media bias is a two-way street. My second point I wanted to raise is your fear of liberalism of which I will try to assuage. As opposed to conservatism (favoring the status quo), liberalism seeks to press the frontiers of social progress. I assure you, liberals are not "Pinko Commie Socialists," they are people just like you and me. However, rather than embracing the status quo, they challenge it in hopes of a more positive future. The history of the United States is rife with such examples. The. American Revolution: a small minority of the colonial population decided that they had had enough and it was time to part with England. Their defiance gave us our independence. In the early 1800s, a pestering group of liberals waged a 30+-year campaign to end the horrid practice of slavery. In the late 1800s, the working man demanded his rights against the evils of unrestrained business; they gave us labor unions, eighthour days, overtime, workman's compensation, etc. After nearly an entire century of agitation and civil disobedience, women procured suffrage with the 19th Amendment. In the 1960s we witnessed the Civil Rights movement for racial equality, feminism, and anti-Vietnam protests. Now it's a struggle for gay rights. Even larger is the movement against war with Iraq. None of these movements were AntiAmerican, even though every single one of them was labeled as such. Without & doubt, the men and women overseas risk their lives to defend our freedom, but we cannot forget, or simply ignore, where these freedoms came from in thè first place. We need each other. That is the beauty of democracy: we may not see eye to eye, but together we make it work. liberalism for communism, and conservatism for fascism. Your level of fanaticism against progress rivals that,of the Middle Eastern Fundamentalism and is quite disturbing. There is a large difference from being a conservative and being right wing, and frankly, fascism at home scares me more than terrorism from abroad. If you are so concerned about PAN, you should stop by a meeting; the door is always open. Until then, stop with the witty clichés and clever quips and pretend to be an educated student. It is quite sad when Communication majors cannot conduct a civil discussion. Stephen Schultz Senior, History In sum, you have mistaken M edical M arijuana R esponse Dear Editors, Dear FHitrwc Recently, I read your article on Medical Marijuana. I found it interesting that California passed a proposition for the growing of marijuana for patients that need it for medical purposes. I think this is wonderful because of all of the sick people that can really use something to make them feel better. However, this adds "to my concern as to whether or not these sick patients may be adding to the growing population of young Americans using marijuana T « today. I can't «elp but, wonder h« « whether or not the reason why children are using marijuana today is because they have such easy access to it. This access is either through a loved one or someone they know that is growing it or using it on a daily basis. I am not saying that since terminally ill patients are able to grow this product, then they are going to give it out to everyone that they know. However, I qannot help but wonder why it is so easy for young Americans to get this product. "* . ... .. are others around that can easily get a hold of it and use it for their own purposes, that's when things need to change. I care very much about those that are going through great amounts of pain and suffering, however I don't think that they should be able to grow this plant in their own house. I think that doctors should set up labs where patients can go and smoke as much marijuana as they think they need in the doctor's presence. This in turn would probably cut down on the amount of kids and teenagers getting a hold of Growing marijuana for medical marijuana make it easier on adults reasons is okay, but when there to help these children get away from this problem: the best treatment that they can get. It only seems logical that if marijuana is the answer, then that is what they would want. Giving them the right to grow marijuana in their own homes is putting a lot of trust not only to the patients, but to others as well. I think that these patients should be allowed to smoke this plant of their own free will, however I believe that it should be done in the presence of doctors. Even though patients are allowed to grow small amounts of marijuana in their homes, it seems logical that they would want to keep this product out of reach for someone they either know or love very deeply. The number of kids that are addicted to this drug is outrageous and by allowing patients to grow their own marijuana, we are pretty much allowing these children to become addicted. Jennifer Fry Freshman, Biology In conclusion, I would just like t a say that these patients deserve Another Response to Commie Slackjaws Dear Editors: we want it to or not. It's human nature.

The leaders of all the sports currently in-season, which include college basketball, professional basketball, hockey, and baseball, have given serious and well-publicized thought to this issue, but thus far have all decided to let the games be played as scheduled. First and foremost, if sporting events were to be cancelled, we would be letting the enemy further affect our way of life. Whether or not you personally are a sports fan, there is no doubt that sports play an intricate role in the lives of many Americans. By changing our traditions, whether it is through postponing sports or anything else, we essentially bring the war home. That's not to say we shouldn't show our support (or opposition) for the war, nor does it mean we should avoid tributes to the soldiers who fight for us; we simply need to draw the line between proper and unnecesIn my opinion, this is the right sary.

Sports should never at any time - especially now - be the most prominent aspect of our lives. However, if we use sports as a means of temporarily relieving stress, and recognize that postponing the games will serve no other purpose than adding to that stress, we may be able to better cope with the unstable global situation of the present time. Kyle Trembley Freshman, Prebusiness �Things You Need to Know About NAFTA Dear Editors: I am a freshman at the university who is very concerned with how little students know about the insulting fiasco that is NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement). Students should know about the oppression that NAFTA causes. The area that the agreement affects most is Latin America. Albeit trade is way up from seven years ago, there are many problems that result from this. In no way does the lowered prices of goods from increased competition make up for all the job losses that emerged from NAFTA, not to mention all the environmental damages and social dislocation. NAFTA supporters believe that the agreement assists Mexico's economy drasti- cally, but they do not know that the nation was already liberalizing its economy for the better before the United States unnecessarily stepped in. They did this by beginning to invest in foreign goods and dropping tariffs. It's hard to tell whether the Mexican economy would be any better or worse today if NAFTA had not been agreed upon. During the United States debate over whether or not to pass NAFTA, pro-NAFTA economists proposed that there would be thousands of new jobs per 1$ billion in trade surplus, obviously assuming that the United States' exports would explode with a huge increase. However, when the peso crisis launched Mexico into a recession, bringing the U.S. trade into deficit with it (the nation's exports surpassed that of its imports), U.S. job losses nearly reached the hundred thousand mark. It turns out that Clinton's and Bush's proposed numbers about x number of jobs being created by x number of billion dollars was based upon guesses rather than proof The massive amount of layoffs caused by NAFTA is indisputable. In the U.S., nearly 150,000 laborers were eligible for NAFTA's Transitional Adjustment Assistance Program in 1997, yet only five percent of them actually received any assistance or benefits from the program. Generally speaking, laid off U.S. workers earn a much lower average commission after they find a new job. While the loss of jobs in the U.S. is easy to recognize, Mexico's workers have also been losing jobs significantly under NAFTA. This is because it became much more difficult for laborers to unionize after NAFTA was passed. Companies usually threaten to close down part of their business after attempts at unionizing occur in their facilities, andfifteenperated agricultural competicent of businesses did in tion with the U.S. has crefact close down at least part ated a disturbing amount of of their company after their poverty and suffering for employees unionized.

The subject is important yet misunderstood by many people. John Clayton Freshman, A Response From a "Pinko Commie Socialist" As a member of PAN, I could not resist the urge of responding to a letter, which is full of insults and slurs (pinko commie socialist, pothead, brainwashed, uneducated, shut your slack jawed mouths), written by someone who actually does not deserve to be taken into account. However, for the sake of clarifying a few things for those who read the opinion titled "Slack Jawed" written by Anna Hall, I decided to write this letter. First of all, I cannot understand why you are so angry with PAN? Why is it so hard for you to accept the fact there are people out there do think different than you do? What happened to democracy, free speech and freedom to have different opinions? Did you come and try to talk to one of us? I have a solution though. I challenge you to a political debate. We can talk about any ideology, any thinker, or any writer. It would be a pleasure for me to hear your criticisms of Karl Marx and his works since you sound like you know what you are talking about in regards to Marx and Marxist theories. I would be delighted to hear your disagreements of the Communist Manifesto or The Capital. If you wish, we can discuss conservatives and conservative ideologies: Adam Smith, Francis Fukuyama, William Saffire, Paul Wolfowitz? You pick. How about Islamic fundamentalism and Sayyid Qutb? Would you prefer to talk about Jerry Falwell and Christian Reconstruction theories? We can go way back and discuss Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustin. How about we discuss the emergence of contemporary political ideologies since the enlightenment from Weber to Kant, Sartre to Rousseau, Hobbes to Locke, Mussolini to Lenin? If your argument is that PAN members are illiterate about politics and political ideologies and brainwashed by only reading Karl Marx, I challenge you to come and have a political debate with me, serious offer. A person who is capable of insulting, should also be capable of putting out an argument to back those insults. Maybe after that you will learn your lesson about not judging and insulting people you don't even know. Forget about Marx, I bet you don't even know the difference between Communism and Socialism. Since elementary school we're pushed to succeed, to go to college, and succeed there. And we're told that we need a degree to succeed. I've been attending CSUSM since the fall of 2002. Since then, tuition has gone up and parking fees have more than doubled. And they continue to increase. Society looks at the lower class and blames their financial problem is due to the lack of education. How are they supposed to attend a higher education system without the money? Sure now there are scholarships, but now the middle class is the ones who see higher education as a financial burden. They're too rich to qualify for most scholarships yet too poor to be able to pay for the cost themselves without starching a penny here and there. To get rich we must study, but to study we must be rich. In no way am I completely blaming CSUSM for the tuition increase, but for the parking fee increase and the ones yet to come, those words will be left unsaid. Sure I can write the governor or any other government official and wait months, if at that, for a response, but one voice is never as strong as hundreds or thousands. As for the parking increase, it was said that there was a window of opportunity to discuss the matter. I remember hearing about the meeting an hour before it was supposed to start. Great notice. Some of us have class that can't be missed, exams, or even work. The majority of students can't just drop everything in an hour. If something this important is up in the air for discussion a good amount of notice (say a week or more) should be given, as well as notification of the discussion throughout campus. Because of the outrageous parking fees, students are taking risk by packing in the shopping area, and soon in near by neighborhoods (that are nearly a mile away from campus). At least than we won't have to worry about students not getting enough exercise! Concerning the tuition, I'm not fighting for no fees, but at least a sensible one. For students there's three possible ways of dealing with tuition: pay it yourself, scholarships, or student loans. I can see how paying it yourself at a community college, but at a four-year it's stress. Do I have enough, what other bills will I not be able to pay, how many extra hours must I work? Scholarships, to me personally seem to be confusing. For the vast majority, just to qualify we have to be Have a nice day and do not miss Bill O'Reilly tonight. With most sincere regards Civan Erman Gokcimen Senior, Political Science One last point: I know this is Higher Education is Not Cheap Dear Editors: going to disappoint you but your letter did not offend me or upset me at all. I just had a big smile on my face when I read it. Obviously, 3 years of college is not enough for some people to get out of Junior High behavior poor, of a minority, have good grades, be involved in school some how, and have racked up community service hours. And loans! It's the easiest at the ftioment thing to do, but jafter that it seems that you're getting your pay back for years after. The rates of tuition should be the same always, increasing discourages future students from applying to a four-year school. Our society stresses students to achieve high education, yet makes it a great expense that can't be obtained, and on top of that continues to raise the cost. If the governor or a government official builds his campaign on what society values essential - education - he or she should increase the quality, not the price.

I would think money would be available since they raised our parking permits so much.

There have been days when I am so tired of driving around looking for a parking spot, that I just want to leave but it seems every time that happens, I end up seeing someone leave so I find a parking spot. The administration needs to take this problem seriously. It is detrimental to the school and students if the students miss class. till 5:30pm and all the other parking lots. It would just be nice if we could add onto the lower parking lot because there is dirt out in front of it not being used; this area would give us a few more spots.

Clarke had previ­ ously assisted the athletic depart­ ment through other grants. She died on Dec. 3, 2000, at the age of 83 and became the largest single donor to Cal State San Marcos, with gifts totally nearly $4 million. “The grant has not increased our budget, it only provides secu­ rity,” said Steve Scott, head track coach. The endowment’s pur­ pose is to support the scholar­ ships for student-athletes in the campus’ golf, cross-country and track programs. Nonetheless, only 5 percent of the $2.6 mil­ lions will be distributed each year, starting next fiscal year. If the percentage of the invest­ ment is more than 5 percent, the university foundation will invest theVest into the original princi­ pal’s amount. According to Scott, “The University Foundation handles all the money, the grant will be invested and due to certain guidelines and regulations, only 5 percent goes to the scholar­ ship program.” This means that approximately $130,000 will go to 40 track and field, 14 golf and 20 cross-country athletes. The CSUSM Foundation is a nonprofit, auxiliary organiza­ tion that aims to advance the goals of the university through commercial enterprises, busi­ ness services; the administra­ tion of grants and contracts, and financial management.

The campus lecture began Palast’s three-day San Diego book tour. After introductions from CSUSM’s Democrat Club member, political science pro­ fessor Dr. Mike Byron and Congressman Bob Filner, Palast covered topics ranging from the fall and corruption of Enron to the skewed voting polls of Flor­ ida, which led to the “theft of the election,” according to Palast.

This is part of the fourweek Readership Pilot Program brought to CSUSM by the Asso­ ciated Students, Inc (ASI). The program has been instated on a trial basis in order to ascertain how many students pick up and read the paper(s). “The decision to keep the program depends on funding. If we can partner up with other offices on campus - then the program will most likely stay. If ASI is solely responsible for the funding, then it depends on cost, etc,” said Jocelyn Brown, ASI vice president of External Affairs. The newspapers will be on newsstands in the Dome corri­ dor, in front of the library, in front of the ASI office (Com­ mons 203), on the second floor of University Hall and near the Newspaper Stands for the Pilot Pro­ gram.

The New York Times is known as “a newspaper of record,” said Dr. Alyssa Sepinwall, a history profes­ sor at CSUSM. “Getting in the habit of reading The New York Times is good for stu­ dents, especially if they have access to it,” added Sepim wall. “The program appears to be showing signs of success, with empty racks at the end of the day,” said Brown. There has been no approximation of how long it will take after the pilot program is finished to establish when the perma­ nent program will be pro­ posed for approval. The cost, if approved, “depends on how many papers we go with, what papers we decide to distribute and how many per day. It’s hard to give an estimate at this time,” Brown said.

Pride Photos/James Newell New Library Has First Accident CFA Ratifies Contract By JAMIEKO LANE Pride Staff Writer At approximately 9:30 a.m. Tuesday. March 19, a column from the initial framework of the new library fell. No one was injured when the 85-foot-tall steel column fell, and the struc­ ture incurred only minor dam­ ages, including chipped concrete and broken wooden handrails. The 10-ton vertical column stands with anchor bolts and lev­ eling nuts to hold it in place. To install a horizontal beam, the crane supporting the column must let go of the vertical column to pick up the horizontal beam. When it was released, the ver­ tical beam let loose. According to Don Price, construction man­ ager, “The column just wasn’t secure enough.” The incident could have been extremely damaging. “If it had fallen in any other direction, it Library Under Construction. Pride Photo/James Newell potentially could have hit the crane or the retaining walls,” said Price. “[The incident] in no way damages the integrity of the building” One-half to two-thirds of the column is no longer usable and has been discarded. Visibly and structurally, the damaged column is much shorter than the rest, but construction continues. “This [incident] will in no way slow down construction,” said Price. The incident was reportedly due to subcontractor McMahon Steel’s technique of using only one crane to accomplish the job. “The technique the contractor was using isn’t allowed any­ more,” said Price, who guaran­ teed it will not happen again. The contractor must now use two cranes. “If you look, there are now two cranes. One crane hold­ ing the column, and one crane installing the beam,” he added. Although the incident hasn’t slowed down construction, it was costly. The damage done will cost approximately $20,000. “[McMahon] has to pay all the losses. It’s not coming out of the taxpayer’s dollars,” Price said. For now, the construction team will install the horizontal beams on the second and third floors, waiting approximately another month until the broken column can be spliced. Accord­ ing to Price, “A field splice is very common and easy to do.” After the splice is done, the team will be able to complete the framework of the fourth and fifth floors as well as the roof. “On a positive note, the library should be finished by summer 2003, and we broke ground for the Clark Field House today, [March 20],” said Price, reiterating that one such inci­ dent will not stop the growth of CSUSM. cess in bargaining to activism »>Article cont. from pg. 1 “This contract ratification of faculty across the system. vote demonstrates the intense The Teach-Ins, demonstrations at interest on the part of CFA CSU Board of Trustees’ meeting membership and how strongly and other events which involved they feel about the need for a Charles Reed (CSU Chancellor) change in direction on the part of were a major factor in strengththe CSU Administration,” said ening our bargaining position,” Susan Meisenhelder, CFA presi­ said Diehr. dent. “The trend toward increas­ Mary Elizabeth Stivers, a ing administrative spending and member of the bargaining team decreasing instructional spend­ on the CSU side and associate ing is one that threatens the “ TheCFA will continue to pursue quality of edu­ the objective o f reducing the ratio cation at the CSU.” o f students to tenure-track faculty, a A salary ratio that has grown front about 25 to gap of 10.6 per­ 1 to 30 to 1 over the past cent between CSU faculty -George Diehr and faculty at " compar abl e vice president for Academic institutions around the nation Affairs, said, “I’m glad that it was confirmed in last month’s (the negotiations) is resolved, California Postsecondary Educa­ and we will begin to implement tion Commission’s annual com­ the changes.” pensation report.

The five attacks all happened near the campus. Two of the attacks happened at the same apartment complex on Montezuma Rd. The third hap­ pened down the street on Mon­ tezuma road, the fourth on 55th Street, and the fifth in a grocery store on El Cajon Boulevard. All five women, 20 years old, are not connected or related in any way. According to Marc Fox, Crime Prevention Specialist at SDSU, “They’re isolated inci­ dents, completely random and offcampus.” According to Detective Ron Newquist, of the San Diego Police Department, “The man followed the women home and entered shortly after they did, through an unlocked door, in three of the incidents.” The man does not rape the women, instead he commits what’s called sexual battery. The man comes from behind and grabs the crotch and the breasts of the women through their clothes. All five women began scream­ ing and pushing him away, which startled the man and made him flee. According to Fox, “The con­ cept is to increase awareness. We are trying to increase the use of more safety precautions. Common sense things, like walk­ ing in groups and making sure that all doors and windows are locked.” Fox also said that they’ve increased the patrol around the campus with both undercover and uniformed police. Fox, a propo­ nent of R.A.D. (a self defense course against rape, solely for women) said, “People are picked on their perception of vulnerabil­ ity. Sometimes a woman who appears confident and aware of her surroundings avoids a poten­ tial attack without even knowing it.” “The media has depicted one guy. But he isn’t it. We have two other suspects pending computer [confirmation],” said Newquist on the progress of the case. The perpetrator has been described as a black male between the ages of 17-22,5’6-5’8 ,140-170 lbs., short hair, round face, flat nose, clean­ shaven and wears baggy clothes. If you see anyone matching this description you should call the San Diego Police Department’s 24-hour line (619) 531-2000. CSUSM is a relatively safe campus, with no sexual attacks recorded to date. . When asked about the precautions and strat­ egies that the university police would take if a sexual predator came to CSUSM, Chief Tom Schultheis of the CSUSM uni­ versity police said, “This would be considered a serious situation and we would make it a numberone priority.” “The first thing that I would do would be to recommend that all our women students look into the R.A.D. program. It’s a class that allows women to be self-empowered. Second we would work with the Sheriffs Department and do everything that would ultimately lead to an arrest,” said Schultheis. One thing that was suggested by both Fox and Schultheis was that all female students be more aware of their surroundings when alone. If for any reason you feel unsafe when walking to your car, both the university police of SDSU and CSUSM have escort services that are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. At CSUSM, the police can be contacted 24 hours a day, seven days a week on the silver phones located throughout the campus, at any of the emergency poles located throughout the parking lots and the track, or by dialing direct 750-4567.

The cafe opened with four employees on Dec. 1,1997. While DuBois had originally intended to serve only coffee and pas­ tries, he had so many requests for sandwiches that the cafe began serving food within the first month, and began catering not long after. “As a favor, we catered a Chamber of Commerce event that President Gonzalez was at, and he inquired about catering. At the time, the business was really taking a turn toward catering,” DuBois said. The cafe has since catered many of the events at CSUSM, and will continue to do so.

FREEBODY was a winner in the fifth annual Computers in Physics National Software Com­ petition in 1994. PHOTOELECTRIC is an advanced computer tutor that helps students develop a proper understanding of the photoelec­ tric effect. This program pres­ ents students with an electric circuit and allows them to draw a graph freehand on the com­ puter screen.

A survivor’s attitude toward his/her body may be negatively affected. This change may lead to self-abuse (e.g., alcohol abuse, overeating, self-mutilation, etc.) The survivor may find it diffi­ cult to trust and to be intimate with others. She/he may not want sexual intimacy for some time or may engage in risky sexual behaviors. Common Phases: Survivors often go through three general phases. (The phases do not always occur in the order listed below.) Phase One: This phase may last a few days to several weeks. The survivor may experience .shock and severe distress, con­ fusion, disorientation, anger, and rage. Phase Two: The survivor often wishes to forget the inci­ dent and return to “normal.” It is common to want to suppress feel­ ings in order to forget about the incident and regain control. How­ ever, the crisis is not resolved. Phase Three: The survivor is ready to begin to deal with the feelings associated with the assault/abuse. This phase usually involves re-experiencing feelings, thoughts, and memories of the assault/abuse. This healing pro­ cess may vary in duration. * Throughout all three phases, survivors need supportive people (friends, family, loved ones.)

Accept what the survivor tells you. Accept the fact that the assault/abuse happened. Under­ stand that it is not the survivor’s fault. Do not blame the survivor. No one deserves to be sexually assaulted or abused, even when you feel poor judgments were made by the survivor. Do not blame yourself either. The only person who is at fault is the person who committed the crime. Suggest options and actions (medical, psychological and other assistance), but let the survivor decide what action to take. Let the survivor talk about the inci­ dent, but don’t force a discus­ sion. Respect and understand that temporarily the survivor may become distant from loved ones. Assure the survivor that you will be available to provide support throughout the process of recov­ ery. Give the survivor time to heal. Moderate your natural ten­ dencies to become overprotective. The survivor may need to seek medical attention immedi­ ately. You can help by encour­ aging and accompanying the survivor to obtain medical atten­ tion. If the survivor wishes to seek criminal action, this should be done as soon as possible.

In 2001,17 percent of rape or sexual assault victims were victimized by an intimate. Women were raped or sexually assaulted by an inti­ mate more frequently than men (18 percent vs. 3 percent). Police recorded 90,186 incidents of forcible rape in 2001. Of these reports, 46.9 percent resulted in an arrest of at least one person. Findings from a study of 3,006 women revealed that a rape victim Was nine times more likely to receive timely medical care if she reported die assault to the police Or other authorities. Three out of fow victims in this study who reported the rape to police received medical care, whereas only 15 percent of rape victims who did not report the crime receivedpost-rape medical care. It is estimated that only 10 percent of rapes are reported to the police. Among college women, nine in 10 victims of rape and sexual assault knew their offender. 13 percent of completed rapes, 35 percent of attempted rapes, and*22.9 percent of threatened rapes happened during a date. Off-campus sexual victimization is much more common among col­ lege women than on-campus victimization. Of victims of completed rape, 33.7 percent were victimized on campus, and 66.3 percent offcampus. In reported college-level assault cases, 75 percent of the male perpe­ trators and 55 percent of the female victims report that alcohol was involved at the time of the incident. Less than 5 percentof completed or attempted rapes against college women were reported to law enforcement. However, in two thirds of the incidents, the victim did tell another person, usually a friend, not family or school officials. Copyright 2002 National Center for Victims of Crime . WashingtQn, DC �RAD Class: No Men are-A llowed By JAMIEKO LANE Pride Staff Writer “You are a resource to every woman you know,” said Officer Mario Samz. head instructor of the Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.) program, in closing at the last of the four three-hour training classes for Basic Rape Aggression Defense. One major fear many women hold is that of being raped. It’s a realistic fear, since a national statistic holds that one out of every four college women will be sexually assaulted during her four years i n college. One way that colleges around the world are trying to lower those odds is through Basic R.A.D. Basic R.A.D was designed specifically for women, to show them not only how to defend themselves if they are attacked, but also to show them how to prevent being raped. In 12 hours, a deceivingly short amount of time, participants are able to learn about how to become more aware of surroundings, the do’s and don’ts of surviving an attack, and of course, defense techniques. I recently graduated from the Basic R.A.D. course here on campus. During the beginning of the course, Barbara Sainz, the wife of Officer Sainz as well as a certified instructor of R.A.D., asked us about our expectations of the class to ensure that we were being realistic. Many just wanted to feel more secure as a woman, be it because they worked odd hours, lived in a shady neigh­ borhood, or just wanted to be a more confident and self-reliant woman. At the end of the course we reviewed what we had said to see if we reached our goals, and I must say that not only did we succeeded at doing so, but we went above and beyond our expectations. One thing stressed through­ out the course was that no men could be involved in our train­ ing, with the exception of our male instructors. We could not practice with a male, and males were unable to attend any of the four sessions. “Unfortunately, it is your boyfriend, husband or even your friend that you might one day have to defend yourself against,” said Sainz. R.A.D. Class. Pride Photo The course was not only fun, but truly effective. The tech­ niques we were taught are func­ tional and for the most part easy to do. The key to the course is prac­ tice - practicing the techniques as well as practicing saying no. As fun as it was, we were still able to take away much more than any of us expected. “We’re not sup­ posed to be tough. It’s good to know I can defend myself ... I learned much more than I thought I could,” said Jennifer Nowothy, a senior at CSUSM. ‘Tm aware of everything now,” said Tracey Veres, a freshman at CSUSM. The final class meeting is a simulation. “You will be able to practice everything you learn. If you freeze this is the place to do it, so we can coach you through it and hopefully prevent you from freezing if a situation were to really occur,” said Sainz. During the simulation, the two instruc­ tors, Officer Mario Sainz and Officer Marlin Estepa, as well as retired Officer John Smithers, an instructor of instructors of R.A.D., all suited up and simu­ lated attacking;us so we could practice what we learned. Bar­ bara Sainz and Geraldine Smith­ ers, both certified instructors, made sure that the scenarios were safe and that we were using the techniques practiced to our full advantage. At least half of the class was so excited about their end results that they want to be able to teach women the art of R.A.D. by becoming R.A.D. instructors. These women also spoke of form­ ing a club that would enable them to continue practicing together and promote the awareness of sexual assault to other women on campus. “We could post flyers and have a booth like all the other clubs ” said Carey Moya, junior at CSUSM. “We could try to hold sessions to educate people, try to convince other women to take R.A.D. and practice ” said Nowothy. R.A.D. is held at least three times a year on the CSUSM campus. “We try to hold as many as possible, but space is limited,” said Sainz. The fee to attend the Basic R.A.D. course is only $20 and for this cost, any woman at any age is able to attend as many times as they’d like, with no limitation on visits. During the summer, an advanced course will be offered, which enhances basic skills and teaches participants how to handle certain weapons. According to Yvonne Muelman, an instructor at CSUSM who took the course, “Previous to R.A.D, I thought of myself as a woman who carried herself with confidence and could react in a threatening situation. PostR.A.D., I know I carry myself with confidence and can react well in a threatening situation. It confirms your ability to defend yourself; and anyone who takes it has the tools to never be a victim.” CSUSM’s ASI Attends Annual Conference in Sacramento By JESSICA KRONE Pride Staff Writer CSUSM’s Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) attended the California Higher Edu­ cation Student Summit’s annual confer­ ence the weekend of March 4 to lobby against student tuition* fee increases and to support the Facilities Bond Measure. The forum, held this year in Sacramento, was open to all California State Univer­ sity (CSU) student representatives. The attendees participated in leadership work­ shops, listened to guest speakers and vis­ ited with legislators who represent the San Diego area. ASI members were informed during the conference that the budget deficit Cal­ ifornia faces “will require many [educa­ tional] programs across the state to be cut and budgets to be reduced,” accord­ ing to the California State Student Asso­ ciation (CSSA) press release. During their visits with members of several legislative offices, ASI members strongly urged those in power not to increase student fees. “If tuition fees are increased, this will decrease accessibility and affordability for students,” said Jocelyn Brown, ASI vice president of External Affairs, who attended the conference. .

ASI created a letter-writing campaign and sent each California senator a letter, urging the protection of school budgets, noting the adverse affect California stu­ dents sustained in the early 1990s because of budget cuts. According to the ASI letter, “It is a known fact that a budget cut of any percentage would jeopardize the education of the CSU’s 380,000 currently enrolled students.” The tuition increase has not been pro­ posed, nor is it known if and when it will be. “If legislators are committed to improving California, we can hope that they would try to increase, not decrease, education spending,” said Erik Roper, a member of ASI’s External Affairs Com­ mittee, who attended the conference. The other issue ASI lobbied for was the Higher Education Facilities Bond Mea­ sure. This bond was proposed to provide funds for the improvement of CSU cam­ puses. This multi-year bond will “enable the CSU to fund projects on a lump-sum basis, which will allow campuses to map out the planning, design and construction phases of a project all at one time,” accord­ ing to a CSSA press release. “We can continue to grow if we make higher education a priority, espe­ cially with the current construction taking place on campus,” Roper said.

Keating and Clark plan to shoot the movie for the big screen this summer. Along with her Navajo friend Dolores Brown, Keating has been working on “Spider Woman” for a few years now. “For a long time I’ve thought to do a story about Navajo women, because the women that I’ve worked with in Thoreau (New Mexico) were just so impressive.” Keating, who has written many stage plays, explained that the motivation for writing a screenplay was based on the simple fact that, ‘‘you really can’t separate Navajo cul­ ture from the land. They go together really intimately.” Growing up in a 100-percent white suburb of Sacramento in the 1950s, Keating felt an early urge to explore cultural diversity. Her intense interest in Native Ameri­ can culture emerged throughout her three years of volunteer work on an Indian mission in central Washington. Not only did she find passion for her work, but also for her co-worker Jo Keating, an edu­ cation teacher at CSUSM. Their romance soon resulted in mar­ riage, and together they decided to change setting and follow their friends to America’s big­ gest Indian reservation in New Mexico to teach at a Navajo High School. For 22 years they lived and worked on the reservation in a little town named Thoreau. The fictional story “Spider Woman,” which is set in the same New Mexican location in which Keating used tp work and live, is centered around three gener­ ations of women in a Navajo family, although, according to Keating, “there are lots of guys in it, too.” The main character is a young woman in her twen­ ties, who was adopted by a white family when she was a baby, and who later decides to go back to her roots and find her Navajo family. The storyline is reflected in the title of the screenplay: “Spider Woman.” According to Navajo mythology, Keating explained, there is a very powerful entity called spider woman, who lives on spider rock in Arizona. She is part of the Navajo creation story, in which she helps two lost broth­ ers find their father. In Keating’s screenplay, it is the young Navajo woman who travels to Arizona in order to approach spider women for help to find her family. Keating proudly explained, “We’ve been dealing with a pro­ fessional producer who agreed to produce the movie a year and a half ago. He saw the script and really liked it.” Clark, whose tele­ vision and film credits include “A Man Called Hawk” and “The Court-Martial of Jackie Robin­ son,” has been inlhe business for 25 years. According to Keating, he got tired of the whole orga­ nizational structure of big-budget productions and decided to go independent a few years ago. “We were just lucky enough to get our script to him at a point where he was looking for proj­ ects,” Keating said. Clark promoted the script among many friends in the media business, all of who agreed to be part of the project. At that point, Keating realized that her dream was about to become reality and that she needed to start raising some seed money. “In order to attach people to a project and do some other very basic preproduction and put together a business plan, you need some money!” Friends, family, co-workers and other teachers in the com­ munity were the initial investors, and so Keating was able to raise an initial $ 80,000, which covered the business plan and enabled her to sign director Charles Mills and a couple of actors. For Mills, who has been a cinematographer for many years in the entertainment industry, the screenplay “Spider Woman” will be his first directing job. Mills surely will be able to draw from his big-budget studio expe­ riences, like Beverly Hills Cop II and the independent film Boyz in the Hood, for which he received awards for cinematography. Keating said, “We haven’t cast any of the Navajo parts yet and, of course, that’s going to be the vast majority. But we have cast two of the supporting roles that are non-Navajo.” One of the more recognizable actors is Richard Grieco, who did a lot of television in the 80s, includ­ ing the hit-series “Booker” and “21 Jump Street.’’ Because of his recent work in many indepen­ dent movies, Grieco found fame and fortune in Europe. Although he is better known abroad than in the States, Keating explained, “One of the considerations we look for in putting together the business plan is to bring people on board that, when we go to sell the distribution rights for Europe and Japan and so on, there are names that those distributors rec­ ognize.” Another supporting role has been given to actor David Strathaim, who gained his work­ ing experience in dozens of movies and TV sedes, including the film L.A. Confidential. While Keating plans to begin shooting in New Mexico this summer, she and her production team are still faced with a lot of fundraising work in order to cover the movie’s costs. Keating explained, “the two things we are working on are a distribution deal and the financing. To actually finish pre-production, shoot the movie, do post-production and some marketing, we figure the budget for that is going to be $1.2 million.” She also emphasized the amazing location of the produc­ tion location. “The area we are going to shoot is just absolutely magnificent. It’s gorgeous!” Keating has confidence in “Spider Woman’s” success on the big screen: “We’ve got two name actors signed and all the other people in the business plan have resumes as long as your arm. They are just really experienced people.” CELEBRATE WITH A •Im m sd ia te H e a iJin tiliU I Insurance * Profit-sharing •Paid Vacation •Tuition Reimbursement •Outstanding 401k Savings MAIL BOXES ETC A UPS* Company MBE centers ere independently owned and operated franchises.

Well, how about Santa Barbara? I know what you’re thinking. Santa Barbara. Who wants to drive four hours each way? Well you don’t have to. You can take Amtrak for as little as $15 each way, which is relatively the same as gas, maybe even cheaper. Amtrak offers things that a car doesn’t: reclining seats, pil­ lows, AC/DC plug in outlets and your choice of many alcoholic beverages, as well as food. The train is a great substitute for driv­ ing to Santa Barbara for many reasons. One particular reason that jumps to my mind is LA traffic on a Friday afternoon. Not only LA traffic, but you also get great coastal views the whole way up, that may include views of dolphins and, at this time O f year, whales. The best way to get started on your weekend adventure is to plan if you’re going to stay for one or two nights. If you’re going to stay two nights, definitely try and leave as early as possible on Friday. If not, leave early Sat­ urday morning. Once yOu get to Santa Barbara the possibilities are endless. If you like beaches, I suggest that you get off on the Carpinteria exit and walk directly across the street and go to Carpinteria State Beach. If you choose to do this, you will have about two to three hours to kill, which can be spent on the beach or walk­ ing around the little downtown. After that time, you can catch the later train and continue on your A downtown mall, art galleries and trendy clothing shops. If. that’s not your scene, check out out a matinee, that only costs $4.50, in the plaza with your student ID. Once your movie or windowshopping is over; the daylight will turn into night, and this is when the real fun starts. Santa Barbara’s downtown goes off on Friday and Saturday nights. There are 18 bars and five clubs on State Street. No matter what your style, whether you like to get dressed up or not, State Street has something to BREAK? Santa Barbara has something for everyone. My idea is to get out of San Diego for the weekend and enjoy everything that the Califor­ nia Coast has to offer. The trains leave Solana Beach daily at four different times, any­ where from 6:45 a.m. to 6:33 p.m. Solana Beach is the only Amtrak station in San Diego County that lets you leave your car for free for up to one week. All trains I k e take approximately five hours to reach Santa Barbara. For exact arrival and depar­ ture times, call 1-800-USARAIL. For cheap motels and hotels in Santa Barbara I suggest www.santabarbarahotels.com or www.sblocal.com. Or, you can always type in Cheap Motels & Hotels in any search engine’s keyword box. 4 -1 -{ When: Thursday, April 11,2002,11am - 3pm Where: Dome Plaza An Environmentally Themed Event Featuring: Santa Barabara State Street Photo Courtesy o f http://www.conciergesantabarbara.com/sb_tour.htm- way to Santa Barbara. The train lets you off right on State Street, which is the main street in downtown Santa Bar­ bara and where all the action is. State Street is 13 blocks long and offers artsy coffeehouses, sushi bars, dance clubs and lots of fun. Once on State Street, you have many options, including the offer everyone, from dive bars to trendy clubs such as Joe’s Cafe, Q’s, So Ho, Wildcat Lounge, Madison’s and Roy. The more upscale places have covers rang­ ing from $5-$10. The scene is pretty comparable to downtown San Diego, and if you want to go to the more trendy places you’re going to have to dress like it.

If so, you may be able to provide information pertinent to a class action law suit which has been filed against Legoland. The class action alleges that over the past couple of years, Legoland has sold “collector cups” with a beverage in them, for approximately $10.00. The suit also alleges that in most instances where these cups were sold, the purchaser was informed that as long as they kept the cup, they could return to Legoland for lifetime refills, at no additional cost. The suit further alleges that also in most instances, when the purchaser returned another day for a refill, the purchaser would be told that the refill policy was only good for one day. The action is brought on behalf of all purchasers of such cups who believe they were denied what Legoland is alleged to have promised when Legoland sold the cup.

Danny Elfman with Oingo Boingo �Surf Team ends First Regular Season JOY WHITMAN for The Pride The Cal State San Marcos’ Surf team competed in its last regular season event on Feb. 24 in Huntington Beach. Key surf­ ers included Jeff Fairbanks, who earned 15 points, George Demarino with 14 points and Ryan McHenry, who earned 11 points. The team placed seventh overall with a total of 23 points. Despite a lingering cold, Dema- rino, the team’s bodyboarder, won his first heat and also claimed his first victory since his return to competition. He per­ formed well in following rounds and advanced to finals, earning third place overall in the College Bodyboarding Division. Fairbanks looked great in his first two rounds of the longboard competition and received two consecutive first places. In round three, Fairbanks just missed the transfer spot and did not advance to finals. McHenry performed well for the first two rounds but just could not get any open waves to help advance him to round three. Despite the absence of Captain Dave Kincannon, who has been out for the past two competi­ tions with a broken leg, and the absence of Julie Russell, who had prior commitments, the CSUSM team placed 8th overall in the regular season. S u rf Team A d v a n eem en t is c r e d ite d to G reat T alent JOY WHITMAN for The Pride Saint Patrick’s Day entailed drinking in more sun rays, waves and wins than alcohol for the Cal State San Marcos’ Surf Team. The State Championships for the NSSA College Team Season was held on March 17 at Churches Beach in San Clemente, located just north of the San Onofre power plant. It was .an exciting competition between rivals Sad­ dleback and Mira Costa Com­ munity Colleges, but two top seeds helped Saddleback clinch the title. Contributing to Saddleback’s success, Coach Mark Mackleroy replaced two members of his team with exceptional standouts who regularly compete for the Pro Surfing Tour of America (PSTA) between the regular and postseason. The first round was a little intimidating for CSUSM, since only seven of nine members were available to compete, but the team pulled through with the talent of those who did compete and placed 8th out of 18 teams, which was good enough to qual­ ify for nationals. For CSUSM, Jeff Fairbanks and Scott Chebagia each earned 12 points, but still missed advanc­ ing from the third round into the quarter finals. Bodyboarder George Demarino and longboarder Dustin Franks gave ter­ rific performances and advanced to finals, placing third and fourth, respectively. The CSUSM team earned a total of 48 points, which was not far from the fifth-place finisher UCSB Vector, who racked up 56 points overall. After placing in the top 12 in the State Championship, the surf team has earned a spot in the Nationals, which will be held over the summer in Dana Point and will see schools from across the country compete for the national title. With the predicted return of shortboarder Dave Kincan­ non and Julie Russel, competing in the girl’s round, the CSUSM team could easily tack on an additional 20 or more points, making fourth place at nationals a very reachable goal. Congratu­ lations, team, on a very success­ ful firstseason and keep up the good work. The Men’s G olf Team Finishes in Fourth Place CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Editor On March 19, the Golf team participated at the Diablo Grande Collegiate Golf Tournament in Pattersdn, California. The team finished in fourth place with a team score of 973 (325-334-314). The tournament was hosted by Drake University of Des Moines, Iowa, at the Diablo Grande Golf Course. The Ranch Course is an i8-hole, 72-par, 7,200-yard championship course. “It turned out to be a good tournament,” said Head Coach Fred Hanover. “It’s a really nice course, and I think the guys learned from the experience. These results will pay off at regionals,” The NAIA Western Regionals will take place April 21-23, with the location to be announced. Individual scores: Ryan Axlund, freshman shot a 239 (77-82-80), Nick Micheli, sophomore shot a 243 (79-82-82), freshmen Ryan Rancatore, shot a 244 (88-83-73), Kellen Wag­ oner, shot a 249 (81-87-81), and Jonathan Ochoa shot a 260 (93-87-80). W illiam s Hurdles into H istory at Cal State San M arcos By JESSICA KRONE Pride Staff Writer Freshman Jason E. Williams is proudly representing Cal State San Marcos as one of the best track and field hurdlers in the nation. Williams has recently competed in several meets, con­ tending with some of the top schools and competitors in the country. Williams placed third in the 400-meter intermediate hurdles at the Trojan Invitational at USC, with a time of 53.43 seconds. This mark qualified him for the National Association of Intercol­ legiate Athletics (NAlA) Nation­ als in Kansas this May. He my school,” said Williams. He maintains his exceptional marks by taking practice seriously and remaining “focused and always visualize running each race,” said Williams’ Not only does he . practice everyday with the track and field team, he also wakes up at six in the morning and “‘road runs’ (runs the streets),” said Williams. “I practice to win and you always have to do something a little extra to be the best,” insisted Williams. The easily recognizable 6 -foot-5-inch twenty-year-old is majoring in communications and has maintained a 3.2 G.P.A. His mom is a vice-principal “I practice to win and you always have to do something a little extra to be the -Jason Williams placed first in both the Benny Brown Invitational at Cal State Fullerton with a mark of 52.52 and at the San Diego State Uni­ versity Aztec Invitational with a 52.97. In the California/Nevada State Championship, Williams finished with a 52.10 mark, which placed him second. Williams has been invited to the Mount Sac Relays in Walnut, which he is really looking for­ ward to. “All the top colleges and elite runners in the world will be there,” said Williams. Williams also faces the chal­ lenge of improving his times, because he does not always com­ pete with high-level competitors. At this point, CSUSM is not yet well known for its athletics. “The great thing about track is that it doesn’t matter what school you come from, as long as you put up a good time. People recognize me for my time, not and Williams was “raised in a family where grades and educa­ tion come first. I always have to find time for school. Sometimes, I miss practice to study for a test, but my coach knows I will make up for it,” said Williams. His coach Wes Williams (no relation) has. been an inspiration to him and is the major reason why he transferred from Colo­ rado State to run for the Cou­ gars. He received a scholarship at Colorado State, but for per­ sonal reasons and because of the cold weather, Williams decided to come to San Marcos to be trained by his new mentor, coach Williams. His ultimate goal is to at least make it to the Olym­ pic trials in 2004. At the tender age of 20, Williams is already changing the history of athletics at CSUSM as a track and field pioneer.

The university raised funds through events such as the annual golf tournament, annual Cougar Chase, and dona­ tions from boosters, known as the Cougar Club. “Mrs. Clarke’s gift will make a lasting difference in the lives of many young student athletes,” said Barbara Bashein, who serves as CSUSM’s athletic director and vice president for External Affairs. “Her generosity will enable them to earn college degrees.” Nonetheless, there are no plans for increasing the ath­ letic budget, and there are no plans for adding another inter­ collegiate sport.

They are not only returning, but have been with the team since it started ~ three years ago. “They make the team more like a team,” said Wil­ liams. The sprinters count with a great athlete from the Colorado State University, Jason Williams. Williams, has already qualified for the NAIA Championships. “He is an outstanding athlete and has a very promising future,” said Wes Williams. In addition, Autumn Wright has also had a great performance and currently has the best time on the West Coast. She transferred from Palomar College. Coaches often times have great goals for their teams and CSUSM is not an exception. Coach Williams wants to have 15-17 sprinters qualified for the NAIA Championship. And Coach Steve Scott wants the same, along with at least four All-American athletes. It is pos­ sible, since the team boasts three returning All-Americans. m The track team prac­ tices Monday-Thursday at 3p.m., on the track field. Friday and weekend prac­ tices depend on upcoming meets. This past Satur­ day, the Cougars competed at San Diego State’s Aztec Invitational. “It was a very competitive race and future meets will be even more competitive,” added both of the coaches. The National Associa­ tion of Intercollegiate Ath­ letics (NAIA) Nationals is scheduled for May 23-25 in Olathe, Kansas. Next track meet will be at Point Loma Nazarene on April 6, 2002.

Since its inception, California State University at San Marcos has committed itself to the cultivation of student writing. Across the disciplines, at every academic level, students are required to write and professors are asked to take writing seriously. The student newspaper would like to publish expository, critical, and theoretical writing as much as creative writing, poems, stories or film scripts. The PLS will consider manuscripts of up to 3000 words that both exemplify excellent inquiry and research in their discipline (s) and that able readers from outside that discipline to read with pleasure and understanding. Appropriate faculty judges the quality of research or creative writing. Accessibility is determined by the editor(s) of The Pride or their designated representatives. Submissions: I §£ , .-M ? -V - i r I"7," * ’• • ’ 'v" . .*• •• | ■ ■ ■. * . if - ' " *. ♦ ,- Submissions are currently being accepted for the upcoming Pride Literary Supplement. All forms of literary writ­ ing —expository, critical, theoretical and creative writing —are encouraged. Authors should avoid highly technical language, critical jargon, foreign, or mathematical language. When technical terms are essential, they should be explained to the reader. References to critical literature, where necessary, should be parenthetical. APA, MLA, Chicago, and all other formats are welcome as long as the paper represents the appropriate academic discipline. The PLS favors student writing and will privilege student manuscripts that are submitted with the recommendation of a faculty member who has pursued research in the student’s field of study or published texts of a related kind. Staff and faculty contributions will also be considered. Photos or images (black and white preferred) of other artwork will also be accepted as an enhancement or as an alternative to manuscripts. Please submit images and text using the following instructions. For judging and layout purposes: Submit a blind copy, with your name appearing only on a cover sheet and essay title, your mailing address, e-mail, phone number, and major or graduate field of study to: The Pride Mailbox “Student and Residential Life” Office Commons 207 Also* E-mail one electronic file attachment (MS Word) to pride@csusm.edu. Entries submitted without an elec­ tronic copy will not be reviewed. An electronic copy on a PC-formatted disk will also be accepted. Manuscripts or disks will not be returned. Deadline for submissions: May 2,2001.

This was immoral and possibly illegal. * I urge each of you to contact your benefits administrator and request, no, DEMAND, a sworn, notarized statement stating that your benefits will not be denied while off work for any reason. Do not be fooled by anybody saying, “ We are here to help you.” My health was bad during these denials, is poor now, and is unknown for the future. It is very depressing not being able to see a doctor and/or psychiatrist and/or to get medications when desperately needed. If you are contemplating litigation against CSUSM for any reason, I will volunteer, for free, as an expert witness, concerning my relationship with CSUSM from 8/20/92 to present. REMEMBER: Your health and the health of your loved ones may be in jeopardy. Please contact your union rep as well. WHAT IF? If you are a female non-management employee or a male employee with a spouse or otherwise, what would happen if you were denied medical benefits, as was done to me? If pregnant, this could result in a miscarriage, stillbirth, or with a newborn who is critically ill, a premature death. Either way, in my personal opinion, this would be IMMORAL MANSLAUGHTER!!!! I re-urge each of you to get a sworn, notarized statement from your benefits administrator, co-signed by President Gonzales, specifying that your benefits will not be denied while on leave. Again, I will be glad to appear as a volunteer, free (redundancy intended), expert witness concerning my personal experiences from 11/90, 8/92, 9/01, to the present. have also paid out an estimated $2500 in dental bills because of denial of dental benefits.

BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer After several months of work, Parking and Transportation Services has made significant changes to parking conditions on campus the most prominent of which is the addition of parking lot "F". Accommodating over 1500 vehicles, lot "F" is the largest surface lot to date at CSUSM. According to the Parking and Transportation Services website, other additions include upgraded parking signage, refreshed surfaces for parking lots "B" and "C", an extension of Campus View Drive providing access to parking lots "F" and "H". 3 m Access to parking lot "H" will be redirected through the new parking lot (lot "F") and the current entrance to lot H behind Markstein Hall will be closed. Parking lot "H" will now be a faculty/ staff and disabled only parking lot. To help fund these changes, parking fees for the fall semester have been increased to $248.00 and $315.00 for UVA students, with another increase is planned to be implemented later. Lot "F" will have the following features, added carpool spaces, 95 motorcycle spaces, drive up and walk up permit machines with credit card capability, emergency pole stations and a new entrance to parking lot "H".

U I ^ V / V / L V L J Ü JJRI^LV BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Alumn Photo by David Gatley/The Pride Zachary Simon ponders why he ever bought so many books for class. Saving money while going to college can be a difficult task. Yet one way to save literally thousands of dollars during your years at college is to simply not buy your textbooks. It sounds harder than it is but if you can handle it, there are a number of simple ways to not buy your textbooks and still pass your classes. First off, don't buy your books ahead of time. A lot of students stress about buying their textbooks, and making sure they do the readings. Yet stressing won't necessarily produce an A at the end of the semester. It's like getting nervous before a test; you aire only doing yourself a disservice. Instead of buying your textbooks before a class starts, wait until you're actually in the class for a few days to see if the teacher is really going to use the books. Teachers are required to assign textbooks for their classes, even if they are not going to use them. Plus, p ^ l j ^ l i yott looking f M ^ ^ d to for Fall 2006? many assigned textbooks are often only recommended and not required by teachers. More often than not if you simply attend class and pay attention to the lectures you'll pass without a problem and without the need of the textbooks. Of course, this doesn't work for all classes, and if you really need to have or use a textbook for one of your classes there are cheaper ways to access them than visiting the campus bookstore. For example, try borrowing the required reading from someone else in the class. Many teachers often only use the textbooks as a way to supplement material learned in class, thus you may only need the text once or twice during a semester. Classmates are usually more than willing to loan you a book, especially if it's only for a day or two. Another good method of gaining access to textbook information, if needed, is through the Internet. For example, if you have a membership to amazon.com you can actually access many BY PATRICK B. LONG Pride Alumn Jennifer Wlams 1 Senior Literature & Writing I jumped into the work force as soon as I turned eighteen, and worked fulltime for nearly twelve years. This time included eight years of military service, in which I signed up for the G.I. Bill, in hopes to go to college some day. I began college around my second year of my military service, working slowly, but methodically, toward my degree. Changing my degree a couple times, I seemed to start over every time. When I left the military, I had a goal in mind: college. Well, one thing led to another, and I got sidetracked. I went back to work fulltime again, chipping away at classes at night. I decided two years ago to devote my entire time to finishing my degree. I began my sabbatical from work in order to finish, finally after several years, my bachelor's degree. My company seemed happy enough to let me take the time and return when I was finished, but I had other plans. I walked in the graduation ceremony in May 2006, but had to return for classes in both sessions of the summer semester. So, two weeks ago, I actually finished my last class of my college career, I ,_ I J < K a Lots of Business!* g l l f e Tim Sabatini Campus Coffee . arti C• "My c lasses. f h||%!J>ey a re a sinterestingas ffitywere fÉfjl 18É111II181ÌIB1 B W t e stilli h FirstY« books in their entirety online, including many books used for CSUSM classes, without paying a penny. If you need a textbook for more than a few days, try simply using the library. Even if the book is not shelved locally, the library wilt order just about any book you need, for free, through inter-library loan. If all else fails and you must buy a textbook, visit websites like half.com to find textbooks at their cheapest. Publishers make their money by constantly releasing new editions of textbooks each year, keeping prices high. Yet, often the information contained in a new textbook edition is the same as in the older editions. Thus, if you need a 7th edition of a $100 book, you can probably find the 5th edition of that same book for literally $10 online. It's well known how expensive textbooks can be, so don't let them break your wallet; there are plenty of ways around buying and paying lots of money for your textbooks. The world after college n ew parking fc^^ s uch a h aste getting a s pace w hen 1 g ethere s o e arfyinthe morning • ..... THE PRIDE after spending over twelve years working on a four year degree. So what is life like after college? Well, it seems that it is exactly the same as when I entered. Thefirstthing I committed to was a vacation. I took my wife to Las Vegas to make up all of the time I spent at school studying and working. It was nice to spend my first weekend in years not worrying about my homework. I returned to my job, because I sat around not sending my résumé in proper time for any interviews during summer session, and found it was waiting for me. In fact, it was like returning home after several ears tofindyour room the same, but covered in dust. The company did not replace me, though, I wish they had. I spent all this time to return to the same job, I can't wait until my résumé catches they èye of a great company with large salaries and even better benefits. So, I worked on my résumé, spending a full week tweaking small elements on the résumé. I found out that it takes as much time as a full time job, to find a full time job. I'm slowly coming around to the idea that I will return to school. I'm currently looking at law school for my return in education. y �Jock Talk With Josh: What is and what w ill be BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Columnist Cassidy missed me twice, which could explain why he was sent down to the minor leagues. Jake Peavy showed him how it is done and hit me with a strike. I went to the Del Mar Racetrack a few times. I got to see 2005 Kentucky Derby winner Giacomo. He won and, of course, I tried to be a smart guy and bet against him. Now let's see if I remember I recently spent some time at how to do this. First off, I am glad the San Diego Chargers training to be back for my fifth semester camp. It was interesting to see writing this column. The time new starting quarterback Philoff was nice, but I sure hope your lip Rivers command a huddle.

I chances are there is something spent my first semester somewhat here for you. If your interests regretting that I chose to come aren't represented by a group on here. After that semester I decided campus, then I suggest creating "CSUSM is for the motivated. It is for people that really want to create something. It is not for the people who just want to sit back and watch/' -Jonathan Poullard Former Dean of Students to get involved in the campus. I joined this paper and created the sports page. That opened a door for me which led straight into "The San Diego Union-Tribune" and recently nationally with the "Associated Press". I strongly encourage each of you to get involved in something. your own opportunity.- Former Dean of Students, Jonathan Poullard once told me, "CSUSM is for the motivated. It is for people that really want to create something. It is not for the people who just want to sit back and watch." He was absolutely right. It created opportunity for him at Cal Berke- ley, where he is now. Anyways, a short explanation for the new students about what this column is all about. It's supposed to be a sports column, but as many old readers know, I tend to speak on social issues and tend to anger more than my fair share of people. So as per the usual, my email address, sando026@csusm. edu will accompany each of my columns so that I can continue to get threats of a beat down. This year should be an interesting one, sports wise. We now have baseball, Softball and men's and women's soccer. I know I have been saying this for some time now, but expect more sports stories. Since I have been at CSUSM, the quality of work from this paper reached an all new high last semester. I think new editorin-chief David Gatley will take that baton from Patrick B.

HjQO« to 4:00p Bf m aar While the weather is still hot during the days, the evenings have become increasingly cool as the fall semester begins. The change in weather inevitably leads to a change in beers—the sweeter and lighter colored beers and ales of summer give way to richer and more f ull bodied beers of fall. One beer that is perfect for the colder evenings of the beginning of fall is Birra Moretti. While pouring it, you will first smell the strong malt flavor and hear the slight hiss of carbonation. The beer is a rich straw color, and is best served between 41-45 degrees. The bottle is dark brown with a picture of a mustached man, holding a large beer stein. The man on the label's eyes are downcast, he looks tired andpresumably somewhat inebriated. This picture accurately describes the experience of drinking Birra Moretti—a quiet and calming experience. Much like the fall semester, the beer is heavy but not overbearing, bitter but smooth mmm • • • M enough to drink leisurely. This is not a beer for a night out on the town; rather it is best for quiet evenings after a hard day's work or study. First produced in 1859 in the city of Udine, in the Friuli region of Italy, Birra Moretti is a 4.6% alcoholic lager with a smell and taste reminiscent of some Austrian beers. The beer is now brewed and bottled by Heineken Italia in Comun Nuovo, Italy and imported by Star Brand Imports. While it is not widely available, Birra Moretti is mostly found at specialty beer dealers and fortunately in some Italian restaurants. While it stands alone well, the beer is best served with the warm and hearty pasta dishes of its home country Italy. While not for those with delicate palates, Birra Moretti can provide warmth during the chill evenings of the fall semester, remind you of the bitterness of being back in school and at the same time help you through i t Photo by David Baiter/The Pride W WWSMBI» BY Wtéñ NAME P ride S taff W riter Want to make a difference on campus?

However, "Lady In the Water" did not follow suit. Much like most of his films, "Lady in the Water" was marketed as a suspenseful thriller and much like the others, was anything but. Films like "Unbreakable" and "The Village" miss the thriller mark but cover the gap with depth of story and wonderful visuals within the film; making the films enjoyable on at least one level. "Lady in the Water" is about as deep as the children's pool, the visuals are mediocre at best and the plot is, well imagine turning the popular nursery rhyme "Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water" into a 2 hour long movie and you can get a good idea of what to expect. Of course Paul Giamatti and Bryce Dallas Howard turn in stellar performances but it is altogether too little too late. In case you didn't see the movie already, don't even bother renting it. If you were part of the unlucky few who did see the movie, my sympathies. Photo courtesy of waruerbros.com Why did Superman return? BY PATRICK B.

"Superman Returns" sought he can play Clark, and someone out a younger actor to portray else can play the man of steel. Then there was Kate Bosworth, the triple identities of Clark Kent, Superman, and Kalel (the last son I'm not sure what character she was suppose to be, because that of Krypton). In the movie, Superman returns was not hard hitting reporter from a five year absence. He left Louis Lane. Louis Lane is fearEarth to look for any signs of his home world, Krypton. He returns with little or no explanation of his journey or what he found. This would have been more interesting than spending hours pining after Louis. When he returns, he finds that life goes on without him, and this upsets him. Louis has a boyfriend and a son. The world didn't blow up, and crime didn't sky rocket out of control. So, our superhero uses his > superpowers to hover outside of the home of Louis Lane and spies on her with his super peepers and her triple personality superhero. I can only suggest replacing her altogether for the now dubious sequel. My personal favorite character, Lex Luthor, was well played by Kevin Spacey. He was charismatic when needed, and plotted evil well. I only wish they gave him some new plan do plot rather than land deals, just as in the first Superman. Overall, the movie had some really good action, but most of that was in the trailers. The love story between Louis and Clark seemed to dominate the entire movie. It's really upsetting that I enjoyed movies like "The Incredibles" or even "Sky High" more than "Superman Returns". Bryan Singer should go back to "Xmen" and give the next Superman to Christopher Nolan.

However, the greatest pleasure has come from knowing a core group that has always stuck around to make sure The Pride is constantly improving to serve our readers, and that is the group of editors that week after week—even in the summer— have worked really hard to improve this medium of information. As an organization, we are dedicated to the coverage of campus events and news in a way that is fair and unbiased. We strive to cover as much as the campus community as we can in each issue while at the same time celebrating diversity and bringing . light to issues seldom talked about. As The Pride's leader, I expect and promote ethical behavior, learning and growth from our staff. Prior to The Pride, I dedicated my energy to covering issues mainly impacting the Latino Community and border and immigration controversies. I was also editor of an award-winning college newspaper prior to transferring to CSUSM, so journalism has been my religion and political affiliation for some years now. I look forward to interacting with our campus and surrounding community as we work toward serving whom we are here to serve: you. Our readers. Let this be the beginning of a wonderful year. BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer It was right around this time last year when I first stepped foot into The Pride office a tender footed newcomer to journalism. A fter only a year here it feels as if I have transformed into a weathered and battle-seasoned newshound. By most standards we are considered a small campus, but we still seem to find a way to shake things up in a big way. Our campus and much of the rest of the county almost burned to the ground. Religious fanatics trumpeted damnations in our walkways. Our Spring Fling ended early because somebody jumped off the boat. And even with all of the crazy happenings on campus we still managed to From WELCOME, page 1 Clarke Field House/University Student Union, Office of Global Education, Student Health & Counseling Services, Student From FACULTY, page 1 THE PRIDE pull off one of the most exciting and positive years CSUSM has ever seen. Now in my second semester as the Managing Editor at The Pride and my third semester total, I can honestly say that I'm more excited than ever to be a part of this campus. I know that summer is not an easy thing to let go of, but like all things that obligate us to be unwillingly optimistic, there is a bright side. The good thing about the end of summer—if there is such a thing at all—is that it offers up to us an unmarked chance to create a college experience that is our own. Like hitting the reset button, those of us that are returning get a renewed chance do the things we wished we had done the year before. Knowing the amazing things that people are capable of doing with these opportunities is why I love working for our student newspaper so much. I find it nothing but a privilege to document this college in its infancy. Instead of walking into someone else's traditions we have a rare chance to cement our own college legacy. From where I sit, I am able to survey the changes and growth of a campus bristling with unrivaled potential. My only hope is that the Pride can keep up with all of it. To our newest classmates, the class of 2012: Venture a little bit. Seize the limitless possibilities that our campus has to offer. It will make college infinitely better. To CSUSM as a whole: Bring it. We at the Pride are only as good as the things you make happen.

We've seen the commercials about keeping your tires properly i nflated and driving slower t o get the most out of a t ank of gas. MSN brings u s another way to make our money go f urther. The MSN Autos Web site, autos.msn.com, allows you to input your Z IP code and search f or the lowest gas p rices in your area. The search comes with a map that shows where gas stations are located and a list of all the gas stations w ithin the Z IP code and their p rice f or r egular u nleaded gasoline in addition to plus, p remium, and diesel when available. It also gives you the lowest, average and highest gas p rices for your ZIP code and for the nation. The Web site is updated nightly and receives its information f rom more than 90,000 gas stations across the nation. However, because gas p rices can change d uring the day the i nformation is not always 100 percent accurate. The site also has other information related to cars and driving. They have a t raffic page that maps out how f ast t raffic is moving on d ifferent f reeways and f lags accidents and indicates whether it is minor, moderate or severe. It provides a list of why the t raffic is heavy whether it is due to an accident, an event, or j ust normal congestion. It also provides a start time and an estimated end time for the congestion. Another f eature the Web site provides helps you to manage your car. For this feature, you must register with the Wei) site and provide your e-mail address, ZIP code and the year, make and model of your car. The Web site will send you notifications on any recalls related to your car and send you reminders of when you need to get your oil changed and get major and minor preventative services pn your car. The site also has links to their sponsors' sites where you can get information on cars for sale, f inancing and insurance. Gmail boasts improved quality BY AMY SALISBURY Pride Staff Writer Returning students are in for a surprise when they first check their school e-mail accounts this semester. As a result of increased enrollment and more communication via the Internet, the Instructional and Information Technology Services (IITS) chose to make a permanent switch to Gmail during the summer of2008. Since 1995, CSUSM has offered free e-mail accounts for its students. The system was relatively basic compared to the more advanced (and universally free) Yahoo, Google, and MSN e-mail services. With more and more students sending large e-mail attachments, IITS started making sweeps through the university's server and deleting old emails so as to keep some space free. Eventually the students outgrew SquirrelMail so Gmail took over. The biggest modification is certainly the obvious "yourname@ csusm.edu" changing to "yourname@cougars.csusm.edu." Other than that, IITS promises only improvements. Rather than occasionally deleting old e-mails, Gmail provides 6.5 gigabytes of storage, which is apparently increasing by the minute. Luckily, until December 31, 2008, mail sent to old accounts automatically forwards to Gmail preventing anything from getting lost in the cyber-shuffle. However, the wise option is to make sure important contacts know of the switch as soon as possible. Advantages to Gmail compared to CSUSM's past e-mail server extend beyond campus life. The account provided by Gmail is for life, as long as current students obtain diplomas. Google Apps has downloadable software that facilitates e-mail access from Blackberries, iPhones, and other J2ME enabled phones. Also, Gmail comes with a calendar that can send out text message reminders for upcoming events. Unfortunately, some students have received and continue to receive e-mails claiming to be from the university concerning the switch to Gmail. The emails request the recipient provides birthdates, passwords, and other information that IITS would never ask for. Teresa Macklin, IITS's Information Security Officer, identified these e-mails as phishing attacks, urging students to delete these emails immediately. If you did respond to the email and included sensitive information, call the IITS Help Desk (760)750-4000, Ext. 4790. As of Aug. 7, approximately 70 percent of the student body experienced a successful migration to Gmail, while the other 30 percent of students' accounts should be in working order soon. Gmail access links are on the new CSUSM Web site under Student—Webmail.

In addition to the Pride, I am a proud member of Alpha Pi Sigma sorority, an organization dedicated to academic excellence, community service and sisterhood. Prior to becoming editor, I ran the Features section of The Pride. Twice the Associated Collegiate Press has named me National Newspaper Reporter of the Year, and because of it San Diego County named a day a fter me (Nov 8). I also work as a teacher at a juvenile detention facility and have a three-year-old son. My name is Ben Roffee and I'm the Managing Editor. I am most easily identified by the obnoxious shark backpack I haul around campus. You might also see me sporting a "Venezia" captain's hat. I was born in Venezuela and people often mistake my Venezia hat to say Venezuela. It doesn't. I'm an odd 20 year-old Junior here at CSUSM known best for my affinity for pugs and inability to be photographed normally. I'm a proud member of the • Greek community in the Zeta Beta Tau (ZBT) fraternity. I'm also known to take too many pictures with a camera that is far too expensive for my own good. I make music in a variety of forms, mainly via guitar or my computer, most of which I am just too reluctant to share with the world. I have a rather eclectic array of music and I don't read as much as I would like to. Ben Roffee Managing Editor Jackie Carbajal News Editor Welcome new students & welcome back everyone else.

I spend my time working on The Pride, going to class and now volunteering at Palomar hospital. My spare time is slim to none now that school has started. When I have some, I go to work with my brother at Fortress Coftiputer Pros to learn ho to build and fix computers. My hobbies include motocross, photography and Applescript, in that order. Rudy Martinez Assistant Layout Editor My name is Rudy Martinez and since I am too lazy to write my own introduction I have asked someone who knows me better than I know myself to do it. I am currently 23 years old and have a passion for anything to do with technology, which explains the fact that I am a business major with an emphasis in information systems. When I'm not doing the layout for the paper, working at the student help desk, or at school, I am at home playing video games or doing other mindless activities, which definitely does not include my homework. Tiffanie Hoang Copy Editor I am the copy editor. I like watching Planet Earth when David Attenborough is narrating. I put it on mute when the other lady talks. I like Boris Pasternak, Vladimir Nobokov, and Rachmaninoff. I like all of them. I also think Arrested Development is/was the best show and i t's a scandal that it was taken off the air.

Michael Phelps, the 23-year-old swimmer from Baltimore, Maryland broke the world record for most gold medals won in a single Olympic Games, winning his eighth gold medal in the men's 4 x 100meter medly relay on August 17,2008. Previous record holder, Mark Spitz, also a swimmer, won seven golds in the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. After Phelps tied Spitz for seven golds in a single Games, Spitz told the Associated Press, "Epic. It goes to show you that not only is this guy the greatest swimmer of all time and the greatest Olympian of all time, he's maybe the greatest athlete of all time. He's the-greatest racer who ever walked the planet." In addition to winning the gold for each event he participated in, Phelps, also set 7 world records in Beijing. The only event he did not set a record for was the men's 100meter butterfly, his seventh event, in which he beat Serbian-American swimmer, Milorad Cavic, by 1/100 of a second. The rest of the U.S. men's swim team and the women's volleyball team have also received high acclaim for their performances in Beijing, Michael Phelps made swimming the most watched event of the Olympic Games for 2008.

He trips and falls, catching himself on fire in the process. The video takes you back to the anchors who take you to the events. Each candidate is represented by a girl who competes in a series of events, most of which they do in bikinis. The events represent the important topics for this presidential election. For the immigration debate the girls compete in shot put, which is to represent how far they are going to throw out the illegal immigrants and they arm wrestle to show their strength in dealing with foreign issues in addition to several other "events". In every event, the McCain girl calls on her alternate, a large muscular woman that competes f or her in the events, commenting on the importance of a running mate.

The school is working to sign a contract with another venue for the graduation ceremonies of classes 2002 and 2003. The Commencement Planning Committee hopes that this venue will be more appealing to CSUSM graduates. Last year it was noted that, due to construction on campus, the traditional location for graduation held in Founders Plaza would be unavailable over the next two years. With this knowledge, the committee began to search for alternate locations, both on and off campus, to hold graduation. Several locations were considered, including our Mangrum Track, the Escondido Center for the Arts, Vista's Moonlight Amphitheatre and the Del Mar . Fairgrounds. Finally, after a canceled decision to hold graduation at the Del Mar Fair, CSUSM signed a contract with Palomar Community College for the use of their football field. In late July, President Gonzalez sent Out a letter to all students who had applied for graduation this spring, naming Palomar as the commencement location. Many MBA candidates, undergraduates, and faculty responded by letter, expressing their distress over the school's decision.

The result is that the committee has re-evaluated its decision.

Explosion Damages Cars and FCB By CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Feature Editor The feeling of the ground shaking on campus at 3:15 p.m. is natural to Cal State San Marcos students, faculty and staff. On July 30, however, not only did the ground shake, but bouldersized focks rained down on the university. Although no one was hurt, 80 cars were damaged, as well as the Foundation Classroom Building (FCB). Temporary classrooms are set up to accommodate fall semester classes that are scheduled to meet in FCB. Damage to FCB also altered the lesson plans Of some professors. "My class was moved to a temporary classroom, and because the classroom is not equipped we did not get to see a video which was part of our curriculum. In addition, the air conditioning was not working well," said junior Perla Rivas. The temporary classrooms have approximately 40 student desks, a white board, and a desk. The estimated cost to repair damages to the building is $20,000. California Drilling and Blasting and Hanson Aggregates have agreed to cover all the costs. "This was the worst blast we have had in the last four years," said Chief Executive Officer Bill McCardle. The university has a contract with Hanson Aggregates, which ensures that each blast is performed correctly, safely, and in a sufficient amount of time to clear the way for the construction of future buildings. "It was human error," said Terry Tyson, regional director of safety.

Welcoming the crowd in Spanish, Gonzalez told the audience how he was proud that the festival was held at the university. Roberto Gonzalez-Ruiz, a spokesperson from the Consulate General of Mexico in San Diego,, also greeted the crowd and spoke about the importance of families, a message repeated throughout the day.

As the university grows and evolves, however, "alcohol consumption issues will arise," said Susan Mitchell, senior director of Health, Counseling, and Disability Services. In November, California State University Chancellor Charles Reed appointed a committee to review university policies concerning alcohol. The Alcohol Policies and Prevention Committee was created after Adrian Heideman, a Chico State University freshman, died from alcohol poisoning last October. There were also two separate incidents of hospitalization from fraternity binge drinking at SDSU that prompted the systemwide concern. The committee worked for several months and focused on creating broad, realistic policies that could be implemented on the system's 23 individual campuses. The final report by the committee stated that it is manda- tory for each campus to set up an advisory committee. It will be the duty of this committee to develop a strategic plan to deal with the current and future alcohol-related issues at Cal State San Marcos. The panel designed a set of system-wide recommendations to be catered to the individual needs of each campus. The recommendations include: the need for strong presidential leadership, a review of existing policies, the creation of a campus advisory council, the development of goals with an assessment component, and the enforcement of local and state laws. Mitchell said the implementation of the new policies would proceed smoothly at CSUSM. She explained that before last year's problems, CSUSM was already working in collaboration with the National Department of Education, San Diego County Health and Human Resources, the Community Collegiate Alcohol Prevention Program, and local law enforcement to create a network of communication that emphasizes responsible drinking and helps students develop the ability to make well-informed choices. On Saturday, the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce hosted the Grand Summer Fest. The street-style fair encompassed various adult and children's activities, including a beer garden. When asked about alcohol sales at this weekend's event, University Spokesperson Rick Moore explained that, technically, the San Marcos campus does not have a ban on alcohol sales, and that CSUSM was only a site for the Summer Fest. Moore also said that alcohol sales on campus must have the complete, expressed permission from the university president. The report from the committee on alcohol policies and prevention stated that "prohibition of alcohol is not a realistic response to the problem," and that a function focusing primarily on alcohol would be contrary to the university's principles of promoting and encouraging "health and wellness in an environment supportive of learning" Mitchell agrees that banning alcohol is not a practical solutiTTn. She said that she understands that alcohol will be served at certain events, but in an educational setting it does not make sense to have an event focused primarily on drinking. Take Pride!

However* since the lot is now on sale, President Alexander Gonzalez offered Cal State San Marcos as the place for the event to be held. Approximately 300 vendors occupied the area starting from the flagpole down to Cesar Chavez. There was music, dancers, food, beer, and games for kids. The event attracted all ages as kids and adults walked throughout the booths spinning wheels and winning prices, feeding and petting the sheep and goats. "We conducted many tours, especially in the afternoon," said Heckman. Most visitors had never been to the campus and it was a nice event to go to. "It is a great place to be, there are a lot of booths, and it has been a good walk," said San Marcos resident Ruben Moreno.

The new image was created after recommendations of the Academic Program Marketing Task Force created a plan to brand the campus as Cal State San Marcos.

Cal State San Marcos Parking Permit Prices Not to be Raised at This Time By AMY BOLASKI Graduate Intern CSUSM Parking Services has once again made stack parking available to students for the first two weeks of the semester, which began on Thursday, Aug. 23. Parking Services Technical Coordinator Robert Williams said, "Stack parking may possibly extend for a third week (this semester), but right now we're not sure." Williams said Central Parking has been hired to handle the overflow of cars in the student lots during the add/drop period, but that "once the add/ drop period is over, there should be enough parking to accommodate students." Stack parking is available in Lot C. Parking Services also sold parking permits online for the first time this year, a move that Williams said was very successful. "We sold about 1,150 permits online. Next semester we hope to sell a lot more. While it involves a bit of extra work, we want to get people serviced." Permits purchased online were mailed to students' residences at no additional cost, which helped alleviate the longer lines at Parking Services and the Cashier's Office typical at the start of the semester. While there are no immediate plans to raise the price of permits, Williams said Parking Services would put in a bid for a fee increase, in addition to hiring a consultant to help maximize the use and availability of the lots. Students and faculty may still purchase permits at both the Cashier's Office and Parking Services. Vehicle, permits are $62 and motorcycle permits are $30. An annual permit, which runs from Aug. 17, 2001 to Aug.. 17, 2002, is available for $168. Cougar Channel Turned O n By MELANIE ADDINGTON Pride Editor Campus communication may improve due to the new video information service installed on campus. Located in the Dome, two non-audio television sets have been set up and campus information will soon be popping up on the screens in the most populated student area. Student organizations, campus offices, and possibly a commercial sponsor will be allowed to submit their information to the Office of Communications, a part of External Affairs! Information is not restricted to, but will include any campus events, club meetings, and general campus information. Student clubs and organizations will submit their information through e-mail to Julie Wright, Coordinator of Campus Organizations in Commons 207. Wright's e-mail is jwright@csusm.edu. The Office of Communications will then input all information. Weekly information will be posted on Fridays. All submissions should be received at least two weeks in advance. Eventually, other monitors will be placed in areas around campus, including the new library, said Rick Moore, Director of Communications. �Introducing Online Renting at blockbuster.com •Logontoblockbuster.com •Choosefromthousands of movie and game titles •Pay online with a credit card •Pick up your rentals at the BLICKBBSTEITof your choice • It's fast, easy and there's no extra charge Get your first Online Rental FREE at blockbuster.com Available at participating stores.

SEGALL How do you feel about the decision to hold CSUSM's 2001 graduation held off campus? The possible graduation venues include Palomar College or the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

I feel it's an honor to receive your diploma on the campus where you've received your degree. But I would probably choose Palomar because it's close to this campus and it would make it more convenient. The fairgrounds aren't exactly an academic setting."

J ^ g £ Entertaimeilt ] H ie Pride Take Another Bite of American Pie By MELANIE ADDINGTON Pride Editor Sequels usually flop after the great success of the first movie. Yet "American Pie 2 " succeeds in being funnier than the first. The original cast reunites in this sexually crude but well-written movie. And the more everyone has changed, the more they have all remained the same. Sexually hindered Jim, played by Jason Biggs, still desires the voluptuous Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth). Oz (Chris Klein) andHeather (Mena Suvari) are still happily together, with Oz remaining his sensitive self. Kevin (Thomas Nicholas) and Vicky (Tara Reid) are still broken up. Sean W. Scott, who plays Stifler, is still the crudest, testosterone driven male in the bunch, and Paul Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) is strangely fascinating and still mad for Stifler's mom. In the 1999 hit, "American Pie," the same group attempted to lose their virginity in their last few weeks of high school. "AP2" reintroduces everyone on the last day of college finals, with more sexual antics. The funny sidekick characters of "American Pie-" all have well-deserved lead roles in this version, making the sequel even better than the original. Jim discovers that he is terrible in bed and fears Nadia's return visit. He seeks aid from the hilarious band 'camp geek, Michelle, the woman who devirginized him and left- him on prom night. Alyson Hannigan's performance as Michelle really gives the movie a heart. Her comedic timing blends perfectly with her ability to make the audience feel her emotional upheaval toward the end of the film. Hannigan always plays the sidekick role, such as in the " Buffy the Vampire Slayer" television series. But after this performance, she deserves a starring role. Biggs, once again, plays the adorable, geeky, neurotic Jim. Although he couldn't possibly top the pie scene from the first film, he dares to get close with a bizarre and outrageously funny scene involving porn and superglue. There are a few problems with the casting in "AP2," though. It is great that they ensemble the original cast, but many of the characters have no reason for being there. For example, Jessica, played by the incredible Natasha Lyonne, has few lines and usually just stands in the background. Truly a waste of such great talent. My first impression of Lyonne was from the 1998 sleeper hit, "Slums of Beverly Hills." Her breakout role as Vivian promised a b rik liant career, but her talent seems squandered on movies like "Detroit Rock City" (1999) and "AP2." The movie is just funny. What else do you really need Into the Woods By Lisa Lipsey Pride Opinion Editor Imagine having a witch for a neighbor. "Not too difficult," you may say, "I've lived nextdoor to a few." But what if the witch Was real and she put a curse on your house? To get the curse reversed, you need, " . one, the cow as white as milk, two, the slipper as pure as gold, three, the hair as yellow as corn, four, the cape as red as blood." So begins Steven Soundheim's fractured fairy tale, "Into the Woods." Sounds appropriate for kids, right? Wrong. It is kid appropriate, but the script to "Into the Woods" is full of adult humor, word play, sarcasm, wit and intellect. Some lines cracked up the kids in the audience, while other lines left the adults rolling in the aisles. Act one tells the story of the cursed Baker and his Wife, along with the classic Grimm fairy tales of "Jack in the Beanstalk" (with his white cow), "Cinderella" (with her golden slippers), "Little Red Ridinghood" (with her cape), and "Rapunzel" (with hair as < yellow as corn). But these familiar and enchanting stories end at intermission. Soundheim's musical comedy takes a slight dramatic turn in act two when he reveals what happens after ".. .they lived happily ever after." Please don't ask me which actor stands out the most, because after a few stressful days of college? If you are looking for a deep meaningful art film, you won't find it in "AP2," but if what you seek is just a good time and a lot of laughs, "American Pie 2 " is the best film for you this summer. "AP2" is playing now in theatres and is rated R for strong sexual content, crude humor, language and drinking. "Woods" was written for an ensemble cast. Vista's Moonlight Amphitheatre Company includes a dynamic cast from the Equity Actors and other local talent. As talented as the cast may be, it is the cleverness of Soundheim's lyrics in combination with a great musical score that stands out. If you liked the movie "Shrek" for its clever fairy tale humor, you'll love "Into the Woods." Much like an Andrew Lloyd Webber play, Soundheim's music and lyrics are complex and creative. The good news is that "Woods" doesn't keep to the classic musical love story tradition, like "Oklahoma" or "Carousel." In fact, the twists Top Left: The gang reunites for their first summer after college. Top Right: Natasha Lyonne reprises her role as Jessica. Far Left: Jim and his dad talk after the glue situation.

They were Mexican soldiers asking us for our passports. Looking at the passport and then looking me in the face, a soldier asked me where we were going. "To Palenque," I replied. He asked me what was the purpose of our trip. At first I was going to tell him about Stephens and Catherwood but realized he had probably never heard about those two men. Instead I simply answered, "tourist," and that was enough to get a smile on his face, return the passports, and say "pasale " The road to Palenque was open. A windy road took us to a higher elevation and the terrain turned into a rain forest. Around us the sounds became more intense and we wondered whether they were made by birds or by monkeys.

I've been homeless for the last two months, just healed from a separated shoulder, and am starting yet another semester in a literature program that has very little literature in, it. This semester, there are still more questions than answers. But at least one answer remains constant: the ocean and its waves. I surf. It's difficult to describe the feelings of transcendence and peace that can be experienced while riding a wave. Surfing legend Tom Curren once described it as being born again; it makes life fresh and new. I think that while riding waves surfers combine their own finite existence with the oceans' eternal life. The act of riding a wave is an act of balance that goes beyond the athletic balance involved in the ride. I've joked that in our own naive way we are answering that age old philosophical question the Greeks posed long ago: Is life a state of being or becoming? As we ride each wave we experience a sensation of timelessness, Being. But a wave never stops moving and each ride is constantly Becoming. No, I'm not proposing a new religion, and hope that this doesn't come off as another shabby version of "pop" mysticism. Pop culture continues to invade surfing, and corporations, realizing the monetary value of surfing, have managed to infuse it with the usual dose of mediocrity and crass commercialism. And while, like many other surfers, I grimace at the droves of enthusiastic professionals and soccer moms swarming into the surf, I grudgingly hope that they too can capture their own piece of the surfing experience. I know that speaking so passionately of surfing in a public forum is ironic for someone who dislikes the intrusion of so many into his sanctuary. It would be best to say nothing, right? Then at least I'm not contributing to the already over-crowded conditions. r But isn't that part of the human predicament? ' So here I am, hoping that this foray "Into My Own" .will help you remember to find your "Own." In the Robert Frost poem that I took the title of this article from, Frost wishes that "those dark trees/ were, not as '"twixt the merest mask of gloom/ but stretched away unto the edge of doom."

Hopefully you all had a restful and enjoyable vacation, or at least survived your summer classes. This past summer the campus was filled with exciting events such as the infamous explosions, the San Marcos Festival, the Guelaguetza Festival, and the beginning of Year Round Operations. The Pride planned to cover these events; however due to monetary restraints by the university, we were unable to print any summer issues. However, we reached out to many of you by e-mail to find out what areas of The Pride you felt needed improvement, what you liked or did not like, and for any general suggestions. The Pride is a student newspaper, and in order to create this publication for all of you students, we need to know what you want in a newspaper. For those of you that HAVE AN OPINION? responded or who will respond, we thank you for your valuable input. Several students felt we were too liberal, while others felt we were too conservative. The Pride is neither. We keep a decidely balanced political viewpoint and have a generous combination of staff writers, providing both liberal and conservative viewpoints. Some students mentioned their concern with the presence of a few biased articles in the newspaper. Mandy Ford wrote: "Instead of doing articles that give points of view from more than one party, you select the juicy side and run with it." She adds, " I hope that the paper will start printing more detailed and factual stories in the future." Another student, however, wrote that The Pride was interesting and factual. Some students were fond of the "Psyche Fairy," and the "Thoughts On" quotes. Many, however, felt that we should write on more controversial topics, write more sports articles, and that we should include editorials. Students also wrote that they were appreciative of the outfeach of The Pride, and that we kept students up-to-date on campus events. Some students felt there was too much focus on minority groups in certain articles, while other students appreciated the "diversity." Since we are students we are still in the process of learning journalistic style, but it is the purpose of The Pride to represent student voice, keep integrity of the truth, and to be unbiased and critical. We appreciate the comments given to us, and we have reviewed our mission statement and attempted to make some changes.

A Welcome from Your Student Government: ASI President, Dean Manship On behalf of Associated Students and representing the entire student body, I would like to welcome all new and returning students to California State University San Marcos. This is truly an exciting time in the development of our campus, which over the next two years will more than double in size. Newer students will witness the opening of our first student housing facility, which will begin our transition from a commuter campus to one teeming with student life. In the meantime, the Associated Students will continue to focus on bringing quality events and enrichment programs to campus, as well as Can you Draw? D o you Have an Opinion?

Letter to the Editors A new group is forming for students in the MBA program. The group will be called the MBA Student Association and it will have many responsibilities. One of the responsibilities will be to serve as a liaison between MBA students and MBA front office. Any issues or concerns that MBA students may have will be communicated to the MBA front office. The group will also promote the MBA program at Cal State San Marcos at both the local level as well as at the national level. Already the MBA Student Association has had speakers come on campus and speak to cohorts on campus. This sort of interaction will prove value to both the community and the school. The MBA Student Association will also have a bi-monthly newsletter directed toward MBA students, faculty, and the business community. The first issue will come out the last week in August just in time for the incoming MBA students for this year. Going to school to receive an MBA is difficult enough as it is; the new group will hopefully ease some of the concerns that new students may have. Together we will make a difference. Albert Jimenez T hrow Your Gap if You Want to Graduate from Palomar! By LISA LIPSEY Pride Opinion Editor This y earV graduation may seem aways off, but a two-year plan is already well underway for CSUSM commencement ceremonies. Over the summer a decision was reached: the next two graduating classes will have their ceremony off-campus at one of two possible venues, Palomar Community College or the Del Mar F airgrounds. We currently have a c ontract' signed with Palomar. There are already several problems with this decision. Number one: we the students, who pay to be here, were not asked to vote upon this issue. D o they undertand that we are educated adults who have the ability to objectively look at the facts, make decisions and vote? The real reason seems to be that they know none of us would have voted to hold our graduation at Palomar. Much of the upper division student body already went through Palomar or anoth- er junior college, graduated, and transferred over to CSUSM (myself included). I am outraged that I will have earned and paid for a higher level of education only to possibly go back to my previous school for graduation. Hmm, did they check? Maybe it would be even cheaper to hold graduation at San Marcos High School. Number two: if the problem is space, couldn't they have come up with a better location? Oh, and here is a brilliant idea: hold graduation at CSUSM. We have about as much outdoor and auditorium space as Palomar does. Most students would rather see CSUSM hold several small ceremonies on campus than one or two off campous. Perhaps we should remind the powers that be this is OUR graduation. It is about our achievements as students. We work hard in order to walk across that stage. We should have the chance to vote on the location of OUR graduation. �Featuring local bands such as Time: 3-4 p.m. Handful and Agent 51. Includes Location: Career & Assessment Center BBQ and games.

Although I should be happy as I was able to watch the Anaheim Ducks hoist the cup at the Honda Center as well as see the San Antonio Spurs win another NBA championship. This was a summer to remember for me in the sports world, but there are things I want to forget. Let me start with Michael Vick who deserves everything that is coming to him. This is the same guy who last year told his brother Marcus to clean up his act and stop getting into trouble. But now, it is big brother who will learn the consequences of disobeying the law, as he faces 2 years in jail and a possible lifetime ban from the NFL that he truly deserves. But what do you expect when you are giving players like Vick, Tank Johnson and Adam "Pacman" Jones millions of dollars. All they know how to do w ith, money is cause headaches for themselves, their families, teams and the sport. On August 7, 2007, Barry Bonds asterisked the record book by passing Hank Aaron to become the all-time homerun leader. Although I don't feel that an asterisk is fully necessary for this record as batters are not the only ones who are juicing. We were reminded about Clay Hensley failing a steroid test in the minor leagues while Bonds was running the bases to his record tying homerun at Petco Park. The only good thing about | Í 1 : 1 1 I W o m é n f S % è r v s.

Lastly, NBA referee Tim Donaghy found a way to hurt the game a little bit more by admitting to gambling on NBA games he officiated. It will now be up to David Stern to fix the mess that Donaghy has created for him as Donaghy faces 25 years in jail. As for Donaghy, he will have been forgotten by start of the season as their will be talk going on about another NBA player breaking another law or Kobe Bryant holding out on the Lakers because they are not up to Kobe's caliber. But don't get me wrong here, there was more to the summer that is definitely worth mentioning. Like I said earlier, the Ducks won the Cup, the Spurs won the championship and talk about Bonds has finally died down. But the best thing that happened this summer for baseball was the induction to the MLB Hall of Fame for Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken Jr., two players who deserved to be in Cooperstown. As for my summer, it was one I will never forget. I spent time with my girlfriend and our families. Made a $100 investment on the Philadelphia Flyers to win the Stanley Cup next year with 100:1 odds and I was also able to improve my golf swing and my handicap. But the one thing I am going to miss about summer is the two months off of doing nothing.

It's hard for me to imagine that over a year and half has past since I passed the reigns of the Pride newspaper over to David Gatley. It seems like only yesterday I was spending all of my spare time in-between classes and after school situating the paper together with what I consider a group of talented writers and designers. Inevitably, the newspaper struggles every year producing stories for the first issue. More recently, the paper also struggles with recruiting staff writers. I cahnot ijtge student^ enough on how important the paper is to the campus. It brings not only information to the stM dent, but it is also the only voice o ftthe students on campus r un by students. There are many options for students to participate" kr the paper that range f rom submitting one article-for the opinion section to writing every week for multifile sections. For m e| I have two main reasons why I think the newspaper was important for my academic career at Cal State San Marcos. First, The Pride was a boost in my academic career. The school newspaper was a burden of love. It took all of my spare time but I was able to see a result of our hard collaborated work every week. The portfolio of work I produced became a tangible product of my time in school. I've displayed it for interviews both in the academic and professional arenas. Coupled with my Literature and Writing degree, which, in my humblest opinion, is the best degree Cal State San Marcos offers, the newspaper really opened up doors for me. My first motivation right after graduation was to apply to law school. I feel that the analytic reasoning skills that are required for an English degree are an essential component for thefieldof law. An English degree requires close reading. This attentive reading has developed my ability to understand texts' implicit and explicit meanings and my ability to generate lucid and convincing writing. Former Pride staffer is attending graduate school at CSUSM. In order t o help with my writing and analytic skills, I signed up to be a staff writer for the student newspaper, The Pride, atCafl State San Marcos. A fter one semester, the advisor a§ked me to become the editor-in-chief based oA my natural ability to lead and comprehend the intricate nature of journalism. Second, the Pride Newspaper helped build relationships at the school that became important in both my personal life, academic, and professional life. I made several good friends at the Pride. Not only did we bond on campus, but we still stay in contact. I still even let Michael Dolan call me on occasion just to be nice. My relations through the Pride helped me land my first job as a writer for a military contract company. Also, my reputation through the newspaper helped me obtain some very eloquent letters of recommendation for law school. The Pride is not for everyone though. I saw a lot of people come and go. It takes hard work and dedication to a quality product. It even drove some of the writers to try a different beer every week. On the plus side, he wrote a great article for each one. As for me, the best experience was management. The ability to get the writers to turn their stories in early and proof read was a true example of my leadership. JoshSandoval Class of 2007 Former Pride columnist now works for the Los Angeles Times. This is an awkward time of the year for me because I've graduated and I'm no longer trying to come up with a column idea for Jock Talk With Josh. I'm not shedding too many tears because I am now living the life I've always wanted and it's due in large part to The Pride/ I now work for the Los Angeles Times, specifically on the Calendar/Entertainment section. That's what brought me to Los Angeles, but another opportunity is keeping me in Lala land. I 'm a writer and co-director on a new comedy TV show called "The Homies Show." The show is part stop animation based on the Homies figurines which have been sold in vending machines for a decade. The other part of the show is hip-hop music videos. Think Beavis & Butthead meets The Simpson's. We're starting out in the top 13 markets like Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, and Miami. If it's successful it will spread to other cities like San Diego. The Pride allowed me to be as creative as I could be. I took the thing I knew the most about, sports, and brought that aspect to the newspaper. It led to the San Diego Union-Tribune which led to the Times, and a TV show. I never figured my knowledge of useless baseball statistics would lead to where I am currently. If there's something you're passionate about you'll never know where it can lead until you're ready to take action. Joining The Pride back in 2003 was the best decision I've ever made. If you're thinking about joining the newspaper, just do it If you have questions about anything feel free to contact me at Joshua.Sandoval@latimes.com and I'm more than willing to help out anyone from CSUSM. It has been over a year and a half since my name has appeared in print at The Pride. Until recently, it had been a while since I'd even stepped foot on CSUSM. But my time at The Pride has stayed with me longer than most of the memories and events of my undergraduate career at Cal State San Marcos. I spent several semesters working for The Pride; first as a reporter, than as ombudsman, and finally as managing editor. And perhaps my favorite of all: I started and maintained the original "Beer of the Week" column at The Pride. Along with all that, during my time at The Pride I had the honor of working alongside some of the greats in the recent history of The Pride including Michael Dolan, Patrick Long, David Gatley, and Jason Encabo. Since graduating and leaving The Pride behind though, a lot has occurred in my life. The beach, concerts, girls, beer, my hammock, parties, more beer, and even a fist fight thrown in for good measure... oh, and work too, have seemingly consumed my life in the void of college and books. Yet since I left The Pride, I've also done one other thing: I've become a writer. In the last year I got a j ob writing press releases, as well as other creative and technical pieces, for a consulting company and a hip-hop artist (imagine that) - all because of the experience I gained at The Pride. I have also taken my creative writing skills to the next level, writing short stories and aiming toward what I hope will one day prove a f ruitful career as a freelance writer. In essence, becoming a writer is what I always wanted, but never seriously pursued before my time at The Pride. Indeed, I owe much to The Pride for helping me achieve my aspirations and helping me gain the experience, knowledge, and confidence to truly pursue a career in writing. The Pride gives those who have the skill and drive to achieve, a means by which to do it, and never has a college campus had a better or easier newspaper to join: all it takes is a little motivation and dedication. Whether you want to pursue journalism, media, cartooning, editorship, layout artistry, or just writing in general, The Pride is an opportunity not to be missed. And at least for me, if nothing else, I still get to tell people about the time I used to write a weekly column about beer. Michael Dolan Class of 2004 Former Pride editor and ombudsman now works as a copy editor/page designer for the San Diego Union-Tribune, Today's Local News. The Pride is a chance for a P ride. Cal State San Marcos student to prove he or she can do something. It is as simple as that. The job market has changed, and companies no longer are interested in rewarding you for your academic achievements. Companies want " somebody who can produce work right awayfOnce you have graduated from college, the stress of finding work really kicks in. You will want to be as prepared as possible and look as marketable as possible when searching for a job. The Pride can do that for you. I spent two years on The Pride staff: one as ombudsman and one as co-editor-in-chief. It was my experience at The Pride that led me directly to my j ob as a copy editor/page designer for the San Diego Union-Tribune and Today's Local News. The degree was a formality when applying for a job J /VÄ you teaJ-^oot/dJo£ skills. Photo ¿y Chad Spìnte in the real world; my experience and my ability to prove that I could produce something of value got me the job. The Pride can give you experience to build on later in your career. You will broaden your view of what is happening on campus, be able to assess information from multiple sources and learn how to function effectively under deadline pressure. All these skills will help you in the real world. By the time you leave Cal State San Marcos, you will want to be able to show a prospective employer you can do something. Come work for The Pride and gain skills that contribute to student life while you are on campus and will help once you have graduated. �about their time at The Pride and life after SarahSpinks Class of 2004 Former Pride staffer works as a tattoo artist at American Tattoo in Bonsall. I remember deciding in the summer of 2003 that I would like to participate on campus more. It seemed that the university continued to over charge its constituents for everything from new editions of standard texts to paying an absurd amount of money to park in a dimly lit dirt lot. Plus, I was just tired of all the conservatism on campus, because the way I saw it that was a detriment to expanding your experiences. My decision was to have my own comic strip in The Pride, and as my previous experiences at Cal State San Marcos had proved, it would not be hard. There would be no competition, no line of students battling it out for the space in print. My suspicions were proved right at the beginning of that fall semester when I not only volunteered for my weekly comic strip contribution, "Emma," but I also became the news editor of the The Pride. The student newspaper, especially my comic strip, became an avenue in which I could air my grievances, point out the everyday life of the average student and question the authority on campus. Every week I had to write my storyline out and then draw the scenes to correspond with it. Some strips were better than others, but I did get better and I completely reconnected with a passion of mine: drawing. I graduated from college and toyed with the idea of writing for a living, but found that I didn't have the fight in me necessary to making this happen. ChadSpinks Class of 2004 Former Pride staffer now works at Today's Local News as a graphic designer. I had a lot ofjobs the year after I graduated. I canvassed with the Democratic National Committee; I took school pictures; and I worked at Starbucks at four in the morning. Then I was approached with an opportunity to work at a tattoo shop again. I knew the pay would be horrible, and the people would be jerks, but I would be able to draw again. And I secretly hoped that by showing off my skill and ability to draw I would be offered a tattoo apprenticeship. My wish came true, but then came the work and I had to tell my family. Let's just say they weren't pleased, and my Grandma expressed her disappointment. That one hurt the most. But all those old people have made a lot of mistakes themselves, and I would never want to make the mistake of doing something that didn't make me happy. Someone once told me, "Going to a j ob you don't like is like being married to someone you don't love." Being an apprentice was one of the more challenging experiences of my life, for many reasons, but I had the fight in me. Drawing makes every- j thing in the world disappear. It is better than any other form of escape I use in my life, and I can never stop learning new things as I draw. The Pride gave me somewhere to put my energy and we worked as a team most of the time. I made some of the existence of cyberspace. It can be erased with the click of a button, never to be remembered. I always would pick up the new issue when it hit the stands — despite all of the errors, asinine arguments and predictable stories about parking and fee hikes. The crude presentation was a part of the charm, but I felt that rather than complain about how crappy the student newspaper was, I decided to join the staff and see if I could help. I found being on the newspaper staff as rewarding as it was challenging. I participated in writing and designing, and created a comic strip called "Beer Nuts." The paper was never perfect, but we all had a sense of satisfaction when somebody would call the office to tell us how bad the paper sucked. We would respond politely with, "Would you like to help? We need enthusiastic and passionate students like yourself to participate." They wouldieither hang up or shyly respond with "No thanks." But.every once in a while, somebody would take you up I still remember the first day of class for The Pride in the fall 2003. It was f ull of students with no journalism experience or newspaper background, but all expressed genuine interest in being a part of the paper. There were no returning students f rom the, previous year's newspaper, and the adviser was new to the school. We were building f rom square one, which made it seem limitless. We slowly accepted roles and volunteered responsibilities. We made it happen. The idea of a student newspaper is integral to having # student voice on campus. In the age of the Internet, people are arguing that newspapers are a thing of the past andTwebsite arid blogs are the wave of the f uturif 1 ^ But Web-based content, will never compare to a tangible, physical newspaper. There is something about hdlding a newspaper and seeing the efforts of the writers, editors and designers pulling together to create a printed product in a form that you can fold up and take with you anywhere. I still have the issue that I was in as a sophomore. A s I sat in Founders Plaza, a student f rom the newspaper s taff asked to take my picture and get a quote f rom me about my thoughts on the Columbine shooting. I was so excited, and to see my picture in print was pretty cool. I felt as though I had made some kind of permanence in the annals of Cal State San Marcos. You will never get that emotion from a 77?, Ptide. provides Web site. I see Web content as a temporary mark of binary code in the soulless a tana^/e. product greatest friendships of my life and worked really hard for very little pay. I could have taken that strength anywhere, but I feel so fortunate that I was able to take it on to something I love so much: being an artist. on the offer. "How can I help?" they would ask. "Do you have a camera? Do you like writing? Take pictures, write stories" That's the beauty of a school paper; if you express interest, you can make it happen. When I heard that The Pride has been under scrutiny and faced with an uncertain future, I felt ashamed that such an important tradition of student life and identity would be threatened. It makes sense though. The student newspaper always has been an outlet for dissenters and outspoken individuals to express concern over how their school is being run. If there is no newspaper, who will be the voice of the students on campus? Student government? In my experience with student government, they are acting under the higher hand of the administration and generally express the voice of the average student who just wants to go to school to for the sake of learning, rather than joining a bunch of clubs and participating in the great student life at Cal State San Marcos. Don't get me wrong, there should be student elections, but the newspaper will always serve as the true voice of the students, grammatical errors and all. I am fortunate to have found a job in the journalism field. I have been working for two years as a page designer for Today's local news. I love being able to be creative everyday and seeing a product that I can hold. I still hear complaints about how bad the paper sucks, but journalist are generally unphased by this and trudge on knowing that the public is more apt to complain than it is to praise. The newspaper industry is in a bad place with many papers going under due to a lack of advertising revenue. It's hard to compete with low overhead Web sites. But like I said before, I have faith in the printed word. A student Web site is not an acceptable comproCSUSM. mise.

Each year summer sets students free for several months of bliss, or at least life without course work for those who decline to attend summer school. With each year of summer birth transcends summer death, a gloomy and unwanted realization of the beginning of another semester. Beach Bum Blonde Ale captures the taste and attitude of a southern Californian summer that many Cougars cherish. Anheuser-Busch began in 1860 and operates from St. Louis, Missouri. Currently, the brewery classifies as the third largest brewing company in the world. The brewery corners the market with their new marketing program titled Seasonal Draught. Seasonal Draught quarterly produces seasonal brews for the masses. The first run of the breweries summer seasonal draught Beach Bum Blonde Summer Ale nets the fish without hurting the dolphins. The cardboard container, carefully holding six 12 fluid ounce bottles, easily pops with flash and excitement through any frosty store refrigeration window. The cardboard container portrays bright yellow sunshine rays descending upon a vivid baby blue colored ocean adorned with lime green textured grass. Summer sun orange decorates the rest of the packaging. A sun kissed, long messy blonde haired Caucasian surfer dude, decked out in an open white and blue flowered Hawaiian styled shirt with red board shorts, sunglasses and puka shells and all, cheerfully holds a yellow and orange surfboard in one hand, and yellow and orange ale in a glass in the other. The scenery depicts a never sun setting sunset. Dark brown accents tint the glass and are labeled with the scene f rom the cardboard container. The yellow bottle cap contains the contents of an ale with an alcohol by volume of 5.4 percent. The ale pours smooth with a mild half inch thick head. The luscious hue of the ale captures a San Diego coast sunset of rich, powerful, amber glistening rays. Sweet and sugary aroma arises from the summery ale. Pale and caramel roasted barley malts which are hopped with imported spices comprise a smooth and f ull bodied refreshing taste. Just enough flavors create a crisp Dubai BY OMAR SAEB Pride Contributor Dubai, City of Endless Possibilities When people mention the United Arab Emirates, it is often overshadowed by the well-known emirate of Dubai. The immense popularity and growth of Dubai as a travel destination has led this small emirate to continue to build record breaking sky-scrappers and entertainment facilities which the world has never before seen. Like much of the Middle East, twenty years ago Dubai was a small emirate in reaction amongst the taste buds. The brewery recommends consuming the ale with barbecue, fish, and or salads. Summer has ended. While the average Cougar can run up to 35 miles per hour, enjoy a stroll at a relaxing 3 miles per hour to the nearest market. Purchase the last remains of summer while it last for the ale will be replaced soon with Jack's Pumpkin Spice Ale. City of Endless ^ Possibilities the middle of the desert. Today, Dubai is competing to be the financial center of the Middle East and is home to various attractions in which tourists flock to year around. In late 2008, Dubai is in the process of completing the tallest man made building in the world reaching 168 floors, called Burj Dubai. From the outdoorsy type to the shopaholic, Dubai has it all. When traveling to the Middle East there is always a sense of caution due to the instability of the region, but Dubai is another story. With all the hype about Dubai, I wanted to experience it first hand. A fter spending about three weeks there, I had done everything from indoor snowboarding to a desert safari. I realized that there-are endless possibilities in Dubai. It would be 120 degrees outside and you can go snowboard or ski in the Mall of the Emirates. What is amazing is that for half the day you can snowboard, then go on a dune-bashing safari excursion and explore the vast ancient deserts of the Middle East. The amount of classy hotels and shopping districts is unimaginable. The Mall of the Emirates is the biggest mall in the region in which Ski Dubai is located. Although Dubai is a place filled with unique modern architecture and end- Photos courtesy of Omar Saeb less tourist excitement, be aware of the scorching hot weather that engulfs the region during the summer. Travelers need not worry commercial air conditioners to the rescue! If you are traveling to Dubai make sure to check out various hot spots such as Jumeriah Beach, Sho Cho Lounge and Bar at the Le Meriden Hotel, Dubai Safari's, Ski Dubai, Medinat Jumeriah (city of Jumeriah) Mall as well as Burj Al-Arab Hotel. Burj A1 Arab hotel is the only selfproclaimed seven star hotel in the world. The building in itself is an architectural masterpiece. Many Europeans every year fldck to Dubai as their vacation hot spot, so when you are planning out your next vacation, take look at Dubai and I guarantee you will have the time of your life. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Thefts Over Summer By: Melanie Addington PRIDE EDITOR Over the summer, California State University San Marcos experienced a series of thefts that occurred from May 3 to June 6, in Founder's Plaza, University Hall, Craven Hall, an£Science Hall. According to Chief Thomas Schultheis, "the individual entered an unoccupied office or room and removed the cash from unattended purses and wallets. This individual looked through desks and file cabinet drawers, where most people keep their purses and other valuables." 4 No further thefts have been reported. Chief Schultheis states that the Campus Police increased foot patrols around the areas and developed a profile on the individual. Schultheis believes the individual stopped once he/she was aware of the profile developed by the campus police. There have not been many thefts on campus in the past. Schultheis states that this was a "one time series," but as a campus grows, "individuals take advantage of the * opportunities" If you have any questions, please contact Officer Mike O'Deane at 750-4567, or visit the University Police website at http:// www.csusm.edu/public_safety.

In addition to paintings, lithographs entitled Acuarelas, by Kahlo's husband—renowned painter and muralist—Diego Rivera, are on display. The lithographs are watercolor sketches that portray Rivera's views of country living in Mexico. _ Tuesday, August 29,20G0 5 Sinead O'Connor's L atest Album H as Faith and Courage By: Melanie Addington PRIDE EDITOR Sinead O 'Connor's sixth album, Faith and Courage, continues her tradition of wistful ballads with two new, beautiful songs, "Jealous" and " The State I 'm In." Like her 1990 hit, "Nothing Compares to U," the songs r eflect on lost love and the pain of healing a fter a breakup. fMoti&S* "Dancing Lessons" is the only song on the album mixed and produced by Wyclef Jean, formally a member of the now d efunct Fugees, who is set t o release his second independent album this week. Although the sound of "Dancing Lessons" is a bit bubblegum, the beat is catchy and the lyrics inspire romantic daydreams. However, the remaining songs on th& album r eflect a mature, strong, and independent woman who seems to have f inally found an inner peace. In the song, " The Lamb's Book of Life," Sinead atones for her angrier days. She sings, " I know that I have done many things to give you reason not t o listen t o me/but if you knew me maybe you would understand me/words can't express how sorry I am." On the edge of preaching she continues, " If people j ust believed enough in God to pray/the world t hinks that sounds crazy/and t hat's the thing that makes me sing so sadly/to t hink that we would leave God so lonely/to t hink that we would mess u p our own destiny."

California State University, San Marcos (760) 750-4990 Fax (760) 750-3149 The Truth About Stress and the College Student Why is it that we can't or that we don't have the time to do so? seem to get it right when it comes to recycling on I don't believe so. I believe it*s simply because this campus? By Sarah Aberle, MPH, RN There is an ample number of recycling containers on this campus: more than 200 freestanding containers throughout campus, several individual containers, and three gray containers located in the Dome for aluminum, plastic, and glass recycling products. Getting back into the fall semester brings excitement, anxiety, and stress for all students. From freshmen to graduate students, stress is experienced through pressures of writing papers, taking tests, keeping up on reading assignments^ and perhaps working fulltime while raising children. Many people do not realize that stress is a normal part of life. Stress can be helpful to get things done; however, too much stress can be harmful. Our bodies react to stress in a "fight or flight reaction." When our sympathetic nervous system is working overtime and we are frequently experiencing the "fight or flight" reaction, we also experience psychological and/or physical problems. Symptoms we experience with increased stress or anxiety: Tension headaches, inability to concentrate, insomnia; Gastrointestinal symptoms, diarrhea, nausea; Increased or decreased appetite; Tightness in the chest, backaches, neck pain; Increased feelings of anxiety; and Mood swings and irritability What can be done to combat stress? 1) Learn to say, "No!" Try to decrease your workload if possible. Learn to say NO! Learn to set limits for yourself. Try to take one day at a time and acknowledge your accomplishments as tasks are completed. Put things into perspective and evaluate: "How will this decision effect the BIG picture in my life." Don't spend time worrying about circumstances that you cannot change. 2) Exercise: Remember to get daily exercise. Exercising helps to increase e ndorphins (a chemical in the brain, thathelps us to relax and to feel good). Try walking, running, taking a dance class, roller-blading, going to the gym, or swimming. Exercise makes you feel good and look good! Simply taking a walk in the sunshine can help improve your mood. 3) Relax: Learn to relax throughout the day by stretching and taking slow deep breaths. Learn to meditate and set aside some quiet time to organize your thoughts. Watch out for negative thoughts that can overpower you throughout the day. Surround yourself with positive and nurturing friends. Share your concerns with your friends; many times simply knowing that other people feel the same way helps to alleviate stress. Leave some time in your schedule for f un, enjoyable activities. Remember it should be f un or relaxing! Take a hot bath with candles around the bathtub, watch the sunset at the beach, take a hike in the woods, or listen to your favorite music. 4) Remember to sleep and eat: Try to get adequate sleep and eat three well-balanced m&als per day with plenty of f ruit and vegetables. Good nutrition fuels the body, which keeps us going while it boosts our immune system in order to fight off infections. Watch out for too much caffeine and alcohol; if you consume too much, they can affect your ability to sleep and to concentrate. Learn to recognize the signals that your body gives off when you are experiencing too much stress. Make adjustments and learn to say NO! It's okay not to be Super Man or Super Woman. Give yourself a break! Learn to accept the things you cannot change. If you are a new college student, you may need additional help with time management, study skills, guidance in writing papers, note taking, etc. For more information on the above topics check out: There are more containers for recycling on this campus than any other college campus or institution that I have set foot upon, and, yet, we can't seem to get it right. AB75 is a recently passed and enacted California legislative bill that dictates that all California universities must change, implement, and improve their recycling programs within the next few years. According to AB75, all state universities must be at twenty-five percent recycling efficiency by 2002 and at f ifty percent recycling efficiency by the year 2004. This means that if CSUSM does not reach this level by the year 2004, it could be penalized and fined, thus losing valuable money and prestige in the eyes of other CSU campuses. We currently stand at about thirty percent recycling e fficiency—very good in comparison to other campuses and their recycling programs—but the thirty percent recycling efficiency falls short of the fifty percent efficiency that must be met by 2004. CSUSM's recycling coordinator, Carl Hanson, says, "With the amount of resources we have at our disposal and the accessibility of those resources, there is no reason why we shouldn't be at f ifty percent or better this very year." students and faculty don't prioritize recycling. Nancy Hoskins, Assistant Director of Administration and Customer Service, states, "Individuals should be more responsible for their individual actions " The problem is that we, as a whole—students and faculty —can't seem to get the simple concept that plastic and aluminum can't be mixed with glass, glass shouldn't be mixed with paper, and that trash should be thrown in the trash can and not mixed with any recycling product. Even worse, some of us don't participate in its practices at all. On a number of occasions I have observed faculty and students throwing trash into recycling bins and recycling products thrown into trashcans. It always appears that the culprits just don't seem to care about what they are doing. It's not like our system here at CSU San Marcos is that difficult, any grade school child could figure it out: Red containers of any size or shape are for glass products to be placed into, gray containers of any size are for plastic or aluminum, and black containers are for paper products—not including cardboard or poster board. So I guess I'm here to remind everyone that it does matter how efficiently we do recycle, not only for the ecologically hazardous effects of not recycling properly, but for the monetary and political effects on the campus community. If we were recycling properly, there would be no reason why all other universities couldn't look upon us as the ideal model by which to aspire. So why aren't we better at recycling? Is it because we are confused about recycling, Adam Bailey Http://www. ucc.vtedu/ stdysk/htimesch.html. If you continue to experience stress that interferes with your daily life, contact Counseling and Psychological Services at 760-750-4910 or Student Health Services at 760-750-4915.

In my opinion, this art exhibit is definitely worth checking out and art-lovers will not be disappointed by Kahlo's self-portraits and Rivera's Calla Lily Vendor. These works of art may be considered rare j ewels of La Jolla since they will only be on display through September 4. The Museum o f Contemporary Art is located at 400 Prospect Street in La Jolla. For more information call (858) 454-3541 or visit the museum web site at: www.mcasandiego.org. V ehicle C atches F ire; N o O ne I s I njured G uelaguetza F estival: Tradition of d ance, song, m usic and c uisine By: Giovanni Ferrer Pride Staff Writer » D uring the Festival, a Ford Bronco's engine began smoking as it pulled into Parking Lot "C." University Police called the San Marcos Police and Fire Department. Flames then began rising f rom the engine. According to O fficer John Grosso, it took the Fire Department about f ive m imitpc t n Policemen as inillUlCb IU fireman putswatch the out arrive on the Photo by: Chris scene and then weedon they immediately put out the f lames. "The f uel line must have broke and gasoline might have splashed onto the engine causing the incineration," said Manuel Herrera, owner of the vehicle. Officer Grosso states that there were five people inside the vehicle, including Herrera. N o injuries were reported. Afterwards Herrera had the vehicle towed. Herrera and his family lost important documents and money, but says he was thankful that no one was hurt. Continued f rom pg. 1 Similar events are also held in Los Angeles and Fresno. Professor Bade reports that she would "like t o establish CSUSM as a place where the Bonnie Bade, Professor of Anthropology at CSUSM and researcher of migrant f arm workers, claims that there are over 20,000 Oaxacan people living in San Diego County. She stresses the importance of hosting the event on campus because it attracts the sector of our community that is underrepresented at CSUSM. Oaxacan c ommunity f eels welcome." She is t rying t o integrate the Guelaguetza Festival into the culture and c urriculum here at CSUSM by o ffering extra credit t o students that attend and report on the event. In addition, three CSUSM students videotaped the event t o use as a documentary production. Professor Bonnie Bade says, " it's an honor to have [Guelaguetza coordinators] choose CSUSM as the site f or this important cultural event." The proceeds f rom the event will support projects in the local Oaxacan communities. Traditional Dance Performances at the festival Crowd enjoys festivities.

The student newspaper would like to publish expository, critical, and theoretical writing as much as creative writing, poems, stories or film scripts. The PLS will consider manuscripts^of up to 3000 words that both exemplify excellent inquiry and research in their discipline(s) and that able readers from outside that discipline to read with pleasure and understanding. Appropriate faculty judges the quality of research or creative writing.

V OL. X V I N O. 2 TUESDAY, AUGUST 29, 2006 Highest enrollment in school history School shows tremendous support for new NAIA soccer teams UVA: Freshmen lose personal space BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer New students at CSU San Marcos will find it harder to feel alone this Fall semester—enrollment at the university has increased by almost seventeen percent from last fall's total enrollment. CSU San Marcos has grown considerably in large part due to the state government allowing the school to increase its total student population at a greater rate than in previous years. With a net gain of almost 1,100 full time equivalent students, CSU San Marcos is up to 6,968 students, over 1,300 of whom are incoming freshman. Last year at this time CSU San Marcos was at 5,898 including non full time students total enrollment on campus is 8,461, as compared to last years total of 7,251. And both of these figures are above previous campus enrollment records which had peaked in 2003 when enrollment jumped to 7,708 students. This record breaking growth is not unique however, as San Diego State University has also broken enrollment records with its incoming class this year. While the officialfiguresfor enrollment at all California State University schools are not available until September 22nd, this growth could likely make the student population at CSU 'San Marcos larger than several other California State campuses. Last year, CSU San Marcos was the 19th largest of the CSU schools, beating only CSU Humboldt, CSU Monterey Bay, CSU Channel Islands and the Maritime Academy in terms of size. This year CSU San Marcos will become the 16th largest California State University having a larger student population than CSU Stanislaus, CSU Sonoma, and CSU Bakersfield. The increase in enrollment has had other effects on the school as well. Parking has been increased to accommodate the incoming class, including the opening of Lot F, and the continuing use of temporary lots X, Y, and Z. On campus housing has also beaten previous records, with 575 total residents ENROLLMENT, SEE page 2 Photo by Kelly Corrigan / The Pride UVA residents Sean Richards and Andrew Weltzein move into their room to find their space originally occupied by one person will now have to fit the both of them.

In order for UVA to build more apartments elsewhere on campus, they need tofirstprove to the State of California that they have the demand to do so. The challenge: accommodating one hundred more students a space provided originally intended for less. One particular aspect about the UVA which proved to be a rarity among other university dorms was the gift of choice. In the past, students could choose to live in a private room with three other roommates. Students could also choose to share a larger room with one roommate. Either way, four students were assigned to one apartment. Alas, this is where the freshmen come in. Every freshman living iri a private room setup in buildings B and C are affected by the change. In each private room setup, there are now six people living in it instead of four. In two out of the four 9 Vi by 11ft.rooms, there are now two freshman instead of one; along with two desks, two dressers, and two beds.

CSUSM came out running halfway through the contest and produced a recycling rate over 50 percent, up from the 43 percent from the 2005 competition. CSUSM actually produces an even higher rate but the contest limits the materials used in the calculation. CSUSM owes the victory to not only the students but to two groups known as the Blue Team and the Green Team. The Green Team is a group of students and faculty at CSUSM who are always thinking of new ways to reduce waste on the campus, the Blue Team collects the recycled materials throughout the campus. These two groups combined have greatly contributed to the two victories. The "Pin Man" trophy from the 2005 victory by CSUSM was handed over to Point Loma based on their 2006 victory in the Waste Minimization category. Point Loma was able to reduce the amount of trash for each student to just 35 pounds per person. Yes, even the trophies are recycled in the Recycle Mania competitions. CSUSM is synonymous with recycling. Steven Brankov who is a student at CSUSM said, "San Marcos is always clean, you don't see trash in the bushes, you see cleanliness." Another student at CSUSM Jenny Bigpond commented, "Those bins are everywhere, it's almost impossible not to recycle." Not only will students walk away from CSUSM with a degrees, and muscular calves, but they will also walk a\yay with recycling as part of their lifestyle. With positive attitudes about recycling like this all over this campus there is no question that CSUSM will be ready for the next Recycle Mania 2007 competition which will be held January through April.

The growth raises concerns among some about resources and services being stretched even more than they have been previously. Some students express concerns about longer wait times at places like computer labs and at the on campus Starbucks and classes filling up faster. Whether or not these sorts of concerns will become serious issues for students during the semester though remains to be seen. Until then, the campus at least appears to be ready to welcome and make room for all 8,500 of us. •. « ¿dressf t elephoae ^ ii&mber^ e -maH tag Meattilcatioii» t etters a nd . jfc^Wd'. tMto p d ri^ m il yisi . ptectrmic . , ibm t& tteMttMA^ C SU ft i t the policy of 13ie Prfde i*ot to priat m mymsm l etters.'

It is generally referred to as halftime in football and the seventh-inning stretch in baseball. But a mandated break in college? I can't say that I am a big fan of this "University Hour" that takes place from 11:50AM-12:50PM. This isn't pre-school where we needed "nap-time". Joshie is a big boy now and he can certainly manage his own time properly. Having no classes during that time killed my scheduling of classes for this semester. It made it impossible for me to schedule classes on just two days a week. My Monday's are going to be brutal now. My first class is from 8AM to 8:50AM, followed by a 1 hour 45 minute break, then a class from 10:30AM to 11:45AM. After "nap-time", I have a class from 1PM to 2:50PM, followed by a 2 hour 40 minute break, and then my last class goes from 5:30PM to 8:15PM. As you can clearly see I have enough time off in between classes already. Since I live a half hour away, going home during those breaks generally is not a smart option since I would spend more time on the road than doing something there. The proponents of "nap-time" believe that this will influence more students to get involved in the university. Anyone who didn't want to get involved in the university before certainly won't use a free hour to get involved now; It will be spent grabbing something to eat, talking on a cell phone or just hanging out. I don't want to hear the excuse that "students don't have enough time in the day to get involved in the university or to study." I somehow find a way to take 19units, write for "The Pride", write for the "Union-Tribune", participate in other activities around the school, and still manage to have a little fun. Go to any professor in the Communication department and ask how involved I am. I also don't want to hear the excuse that other universities and community colleges have similar programs. That's like figure skating realizing the appeal of fighting in the NHL and wanting to implement that in their "sport". Imagine Johnny Weir taking one to the temple from Michelle Kwan. Some things just don't belong in certain places. This university is a commuter campus where many students have full-time jobs and are a bit older than the average college student. We should not be trying to make this place into something it's not. If more student involvement is wanted then there is one thing that needs to be done. More on-campus Photo by David Gatley / The Pride housing needs to be developed, because the majority of people who live on campus are involved in some sort of campus activity on a regular basis.

After doing the math, 1 found out that if they keep going with this $90 raise every 3 months, my grandchildren if they attend Cal State San Marcos in 2048 will pay $1508 for parking, which is basically what you pay for tuition in 2006! Something needs to take charge against this rate hike against students. We all have numerous expenses not including tuition and books. As students we should take action against these unfair prices and have them reduced to what they were close to in 2003» Lets make Cal State San Marcos an affordable place to park. to him. I get the feeling that the only people we are going to see at social events during this hour are going to be the same people that normally attend.

Boddington's pub ale works perfectly; it is both refreshing and at the same time filling and just looking at it while it's being poured may bring a smile to your face. Widely available both on tap at most pubs or in four packs at most stores, Boddington's pub ale has been produced in Manchester England for the last 200 years and is now distributed by Whitbread. With 4.1% per volume alcohol content, it is not excessively strong. And while it is not the best beer in terms of flavor, Boddington's has a decent and smooth taste of slight hops with a hint of sweetness. The aroma becomes more pronounced as the beer warms, and like most British beers it is best served cool, not cold. While most connoisseurs would scoff at drinking a canned beer, Boddington's is in some ways more f un to drink in canned form than as a draft. The bright taxicab yellow and black pint cans come four to a pack and generally cost between six and eight dollars. The can itself contains a "floating widget", to aid in creating a rich, creamy head. Floating widgets are small hollow plastic balls with tiny holes in them that are inserted into the can before it is sealed. Liquid nitrogen is then inserted into the can which expands after the can is sealed, which forces "irJjlj beer and gas into the widget. Once the can is opened and exposed to the outside world, the pressure in the can drops causing the beer and gas inside the widget to shoot out of the widget's tiny hole. The mixing action of the pressurized beer releases the dissolved nitrogen in the beer and creates a creamy head as you pour it. The process is both fascinating and f un, and sometimes if opened improperly, results in an explosive, foamy release of beer—which just adds to Boddington's charm. With a bright golden color, and a thick creamy head, Boddington's looks cheerful and inviting. With its smooth taste and mild after taste it works well on its own, so it is perfect for an afternoon of watching football or an after studying round at the pub.

Woodward PRIDE STAFF WRITER student body, saying "students are the reason for this university." Calling President Gonzalez his "friend," Delawari made the final introduction. The president spoke at length about the past and future of CSUSM, citing the Tenth Year Anniversary as his reason for doing so. The highlight of his speech committed the future of the university to the students, saying that in the past, "we too often lost sight of the student." He dedicated the second decade to a "vision of student achievement and success." Dr. Miriam schustack addresses convocation. Every year faculty, staff, students, and community members gather together for the kick off to the new academic year. In what can be compared to a U.S. President's State of the Union address, CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez made his Convocation address for 19992000 on August 23, 1999 at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. All were treated to a continental breakfast and mingled freely awaiting President Alexander Gonzalez' third annual address which starts off the new academic year. CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez was available for comment before his speech. He acknowledged both his hopes for the future of CSUSM and the ongoing strain that exists between faculty, staff, and the student body. Dr. Miriam Schustack, Department of Psychology, introduced new faculty and staff and acknowledged outstanding teachers in the local community in an opening speech. She also spoke about the groundbreaking that will herald the building of both the Science II structure and the new Arts structure. ASI president Waleed Delawari spoke enthusiastically about the strength of the The cheerful atmosphere of the event, however, was compromised by what President Gonzalez dubbed the "dark side" of the past. Schustack cautioned the audience to "fight challenges, not each other." The president noted that communication must improve between "the organization and the faculty." He outlined specific goals for improving the existing condition of strife, including upholding the values of "community and integrity." Moving beyond in-house problems, the president indicated that last year's lower-than-expected enrollment kept the university from receiving a budget increase from the Chancellor. He ended his See CONVOCATION Pg. 4 Dynamite Shakes Campus Daily By Cynthia C. Woodward PRIDE STAFF WRITER Is it the "Big One?" First day of class. Students sit nodding at their desks, enjoying the lull that follows lunch and a busy morning. Suddenly, three long, shrill siren screams break the silence, and a blast sounds. The FCB building rocks violently, exactly as if an earthquake of Richter scale proportions has hit California. I grab my desk and wail, "What was that?

In return, the company moves truckloads of granite— in high demand at this time—that it blasts just yards away from our classrooms.

The Center conducts research and research training and disseminates information pertaining to research findings concerning Latino populations in the United States. "I am excited about the strong institutional support and warm welcoming conveyed by both the administration and the faculty at Cal State San Marcos," said Dr. Fernando Soriano, director of the Center. The Center has been funded by the National Institutes of Health to promote increased research and training of researchers who are studying Latino populations. The center has a national scope that includes all Latino subgroups— MexicanAmericans, Puerto Ricans, and Cubans. The Center is committed to areas such as health, mental health, education, social issues, housing , labor and employment and immigration. Professor Soriano has joined the faculty at CSUSM as a tenure-track member of the College of Arts and Sciences program in Human Development Soriano's work in youth and school violence was highlighted at the American Psychological Association national convention in August, 1999. His work will also be featured in a CBS documentary on school violence and will be represented in the National Summit on Violence in Denver in late August. Dr. Soriano was one of six national experts selected to contribute to a special segment of MTV's True Life series on youth violence and suicide, and to a prevention brochure that was offered to young viewers who called a toll-free number following the segment.

As they made their way to the Library courtyard, they were greeted by a bamboo flutist whose music echoed across the deserted campus. Funes' battle with cancer ended on July 3, 1999. Many "Don Stories" were shared by those who knew him best—his wife Carolyn, and Nico Israel, the Funes family spokesperson. Relatives from such faraway places as Boston, Idaho, and Victoria B.C. shared warm moments with faculty, staff, students, and friends. Dr. Victor Rocha, Dean of Arts and Sciences, spoke of the great efforts Funes made in making the upcoming Arts building a reality. Funes' commitment to the arts is seen in his belief that "the soul of the institution is in the arts." Funes worked with a variety of traditions ranging from African, Indonesian, and Andean music. His presence at San Marcos made concerts at local high schools possible. His dedication to the arts extended to a passionate support for a rich collection of library books and CDs that seek to go beyond the Eurocentric model.

I am the psyche fairy. I will try to help you with your questions and problems about whatever issues you have. Now, I am not a "licensed" psyche fairy, I'm just an apprentice right now. But, as you know, those apprentices do a lot of good work in their training. I will do my best to be considerate of your personal cultures and hope that you may keep an open mind and heart as well. Compassion is always the best place to start and move to solutions from there. With that said, let's learn from others' psyches and have fun in the process. My love and wishes for a productive and happy semester with many new experiences, Psyche Fairy Dear Psyche Fairy, I met this lady in class and I think she is lesbian. What is a polite way to ask? - Josh, 27 Josh, why do you care, really? If she is, she won't be asking you for a date. If you are attracted to her then you can compliment her and ask her if she would like to accompany you somewhere. If that seems too bold, then connect with her as a study partner and inevitably the conversation will drift off the subject during which time you can make your advance. If she accepts, then you have a date and she just might be straight enough to develop a romance with you. If not, then she might either be uninterested in you or maybe she is a lesbian. In both of these cases, then her sexuality is really not relevant to your situation. If you are gay and you are trying to connect with some "family" then wear something that is identifiable as a symbol of the gay/lesbian/bi/trans community. If she wishes to connect with you and share she will likely comment on this and there you go. If you are merely interested to satisfy your urge to box her up as a "nice little lesbian" then forget about it. In this case, spend your time figuring out what it is that urges you so and why any answer would be valuable. Pretend you found out through gossip that she is a lesbian. What then? Do you treat her as a bulldyke (as if there is one appropriate way to treat such a person)? If you are attracted to her, then mention it and good luck from there.

Try them out and indulge her fantasies. You may really enjoy it and expand your sexual awareness of pleasure in the process. Why are you so resistant? The toys won't hurt you by themselves, so don't be afraid. Who knows? You may soon have a new favorite "toy" around the house. Remember that your ideas may change and they might not bother you anymore. Just be careful, because the psyche fairy knows that some toys can be harmful if used improperly. Also, some toys can be of such great size that it is nearly impossible to use them safely. Be good to your body, but pleasure it as you do your mind.

The plot was S.O.S. and the acting was bland except when LL Cool J made us laugh uproariously. The main thing I went to see this movie for, of which it delivered quite well, were those seat poppers you get when something unexpected happens so suddenly (like when a 45 foot shark swims up, bites a man in half, and swims off...all in 0.85 milliseconds). The movie also had a philosophical/moral quirk surrounding the issue of altering the shark's genetic code in order to produce more of a substance that would cure Alzheimer's Disease. This substance is produced in small quantities in the brain of a normal shark. Since the scientists were total nitwits, they decided that a shark with a bigger brain would produce more of the substance and thus genetically altered the DNA of the shark to get a bigger brain. Simple logic would follow that a larger brain means that the creature would have a greater capacity to learn and would therefore be "smarter." This oversight goes to prove that just because the scientists have extremely high I.Q.'s doesn't mean that they use that lump of mashed potatoes to make their decisions. Of course with the sharks being smarter they manage to really mess up the floating lab in which they are being held, forcing the surviving inhabitants to desperately claw their way back to the surface, all the while fighting for their lives. Oddly enough, I found myself cheering for the shark towards the end of the film. I wanted so badly for it to tear a particular character in the movie asunder violently. It did of course, thus punishing the demented scientist who messed with its DNA, which satiated my lust for the extermination of the worst character in the movie. Definitely go see this film if you have someone you'd like to hold onto or you get a kick out of jumping bodily from your seat while your heart skips a beat. If you get the chance, go see it in the theater. If you wait for it on video, make sure you watch it late at night with all the lights off in order to preserve the aura of the film and get your couple of bucks entertainment out of it.

Those things help of course but they are not what I am looking for, I 'm looking for action... period.

WIoodward Arts Complex Break Ground I and b Cynthia C STAFF WRITER J &HL M M C * Big changes are coming for students, faculty, and staff in the parking lot this semester. We now have parking fees for autos increasing from $54.00 per semester to $62.00 per semester. Motorcycles took a harder hit with a fee increase from $13.50 per semester to a whopping $30.00. Dora Knoblock, Parking Services Coordinator at CSUSM stated, "Parking Services is a totally self supporting entity, we do not receive any state funding." Why were the parking fees increased? To pay back bonds for the existing parking lots, according to Knoblock. New, solar powered, yellow ticket machines are in place in all the lots now, at a cost of over $60,000. She also notes that when comparing fees at other CSU campuses, San Marcos' parking fees were one of the lowest in the system. Robert Williams, office manager, stated, "We are working to incorporate alternative modes of transportation." New bicycle storage units will replace the old ones this semester. Other plans include spaces for car pools in both the student and faculty parking lots. Additionally, a possible agreement with North County Transit District (NCTD) is in negotiations to offer bus passes at a reduced rate for students. Parking Services is back on campus with a new location in FCB 107A. Welcome Week hours are 8am7pm. Normal business hours will be from 8am-5pm. It is their hope that with their relocation back on campus, the addition of new parking signage, and a new parking kiosk in the top lot, they will generate more of a one on one service for students, staff, and visitors. PRIDE STAFF WRITER • Director of Planning, Design and Artists' rendering of Science II and Arts Building Two new structures will break ground this semester, the Science II building and the new Arts Complex. The buildings will overlook the Cesar Chavez Plaza, east and north of the statue. No date has been officially set for the groundbreaking, but any day now shovels will hit the dirt. The groundbreaking readies the land for these newest additions to CSUSM. The actual building will not begin until late November or OBITUARIES Donald J. Funes, Professor of Music and Director of Andean Music, died of cancer at his home July 3. He was 60 years old. Don began his career thirty-seven years ago in Washington State. In the 1970s, he established the Life Electronic Music Ensemble at the Crane School of Music in Potsdam, New York. Later, he became chair of the School of Music at Northern Illinois University. It was at NIU that he began his research in and performance of Andean music, a labor of love that he communicated far and wide. Don joined the faculty of CSUSM in 1990. He was the founding member of the Visual and Performing Arts program, and the vision he shared with his colleagues still defines and guides the program. In addition, Don also led the early development of the General Studies program, another enduring legacy. All who worked with him gained immeasurably from the experience. He will always be in the hearts and minds of everyone here at the University. Don is survived by his wife, Carolyn, and two sons, Michael and Matthew. Former State Senator William A. Craven, who spearheaded the work to establish California State University, San Marcos, died July 11. He was 78 years old. Senator Craven represented our Senatorial district from 1978 until August of 1998. For nearly 20 years, he worked to establish the need for a CSU campus in the rapidly growing North County region. In 1988, his senate bill, SB360, created the initial legislation to found CSU San Marcos. Senator Craven was part of the historic bill signing at the temporary campus on September 1, 1989 that created the 20** campus of the CSU system. During his remaining years in the Senate, Craven remained a good friend to the university, particularly in getting bond issues to ballot to assist the growing campus. Six months ago, at his request, his family donated $250,000 of unspent political action funds from his campaigns to scholarships for needy CSU San Marcos students. His scholarship fund will be used for needy student-athletes. 1 Barbara Ann Mosiej Pender, a CSUSM employee and member of the campus' first graduating class, passed away at the age of 49 on June 26. In her eight-year fight against breast cancer, she became an activist in its early detection and research and was an inspiration to many women and men coping with this disease. During her lifetime, she was a devoted and loving daughter, mom, grandma, sister, niece and friend. As a CSUSM student, Barbara worked as an assistant for Carolyn Mahoney in the Math and Science Department from 1990-1992. Mahoney described Barbara as a "fine student and good role model" and acknowledged her many achievements while at CSUSM. Barbara became a full-time staff member here in 1992. She was actively involved as the Project Director for the highly successful Academic Math and Science Summer Camp held every summer at CSU San Marcos from 1992-1996. She is survived by her mother, Elizabeth L. Mosiej; children Tamara Mosiej, Andrea Elliot and Lance Pender; grandchildren David and Elisabeth Mosiej; and sister Mary Amari, all of Oceanside. early December. The sites will be fenced from the public during construction, and should cause little or no inconvenience to students in regard to either parking or accessibility to the campus. The Science II building and the Arts Complex will be constructed concurrently and are due for completion in 2002. University Hall, the most recently completed building on the campus, was finished in a little over a year and a half. Russ Decker, Construction, explained that the Science II and Arts buildings have "more complicated space and ventilation" concerns than University Hall, due to the need to construct labs and theaters. Science II is designed to house physics, biology and chemistry labs, some computer and math labs, a greenhouse, and a small number of classrooms. In contrast, the Arts Complex will accommodate a 250-seat auditorium as well as two theaters and space for classrooms and rehearsals. One theater is designed to seat 150 and will accommodate a large proscenium stage, while the other will be a "black box" theater that will allow for flexible seating and staging. One of the next building projects on the campus will be the construction of the new See BUILDING Pg. 4 46 Students Receive Laptops By Leiana Naholowaa PRIDE EDITOR What's even better than unlimited Internet access on campus? For forty-six students, it's the thrill of owning a laptop computer. As part of the Leonard Evers scholarship, freshmen in financial need received gifts in what is the most innovative and uncommon program in the nation. Students carried in their portable computers to University Hall 100 Tuesday, August 23, 1999, equipped to start off the first semester. Support members from Academic Computing were on hand to connect each laptop to the Campus Wide Information System (CWIS) server. The sophistication of Dell Pentium II and Fujitsu laptops matched this new generation of students who have all grown up in an age of computers. Bill Craig who is one of the main technical supports for Academic Computing conducted the training workshop by connecting his own laptop to a large video screen. He walked the students through each campus operating system and spoke about the school's home drive. Copies of all work saved on this drive are available for up to twelve weeks in Computing Services. Craig reassured students, "We'll be able to get a copy of your homework for you if your laptop crashes." Paul Phillips, Director of Financial Aid, remarked on the great success of the program that began last year. Of the first fortyfreshmen,93% have registered again this fall. As agreed, the three students who dropped out returned their laptops to the school. Those computers, in turn, went to members of this year's incoming freshman class. Leonard Evers of Templeton , California, the program's beneficiary, was an accountant who left money in his will for the school because he wanted to help students. A large portion of the $2.6 million gift goes to increase EOP grant awards as well as the widelyacclaimed computer scholars' program. All funds for the grant are invested so that only the interest is spent. "Funds will be available forever," Phillips further notes, "Your grandchildren will be able to benefitfromthis." If students in the Evers scholarship program make it successfully through their college career, the computers are theirs to keep. and Information Services : Hua Yi, Senior Assistant Librarian, Library and Information Services : Dr. David E.

A campus that fosters teamwork among students, but prizes autonomy over community. A place where no one trusts anyone else to do their job, where redundant review is seen as exhausting, but still necessary. An organization planning, and often communicating, in silos. Acampus that prizes responsiveness to student needs, but one not fully prepared to commit to client-centered practices. An institution trying to be everything to everyone, rather than defining its distinctive areas of competence. An academic enterprise reasonably sure of its success, but with insufficient means to measure that success. A faculty that hod each other to very high standards, but with canstantly shifting expectations and rewards that don't seem to align with goals. These are the shapes that emerge from the shadows of the portrait of CSU San Marcos when we choose to examine the darker side. But, as Oscar Wilde wrote, "The truth is rarely pure and never simple." Jose Ortega y Gasset wrote that "The choice of a point of view is the initial act of a culture." During the first decade at CSU San Marcos, what has been our point of view and what culture have we created? How many of us, in coming to this campus, were able to adopt the viewpoint of the student seeking an education and services and to tailor our work to ensure student success? I suspect that in all our hard work to build programs and expertise, we too often lost sight of the student. As we begin our second decade, I would like to suggest that CSU San Marcos take the opportunity to refocus its efforts on the point of view of the students we serve. Once we begin with the perspective of a student, we can begin to define our culture around the On the Mission Statement... vision of student achievement and student When the Visioning Group success. began to seek input from the campus community, one of the first questions of many individuals and groups was: why On the WASC Self-Study and visioning?

We hope to make this a great jear! However, I've always had the question: which part of the mission are you citing to inform your work? Our work so far in the visioning process has reminded us that there are many inspiring phrases and ideas within the current Mission Statement that we want to continue to uphold. In fact, our current values and mission drafts state many of the same values and mission, only in a more condensed form. Still, the current mission statement is too broad; it mixes our mission, vision, and values, as well as goals and strategies to achieve the mission. Refining the mission of the University became one of myfirstpriorities when I came to this campus. On the Chancellor's Office... This next year of working and planning will not be easy. As you all know, this campus received basically a flat budget over last year. Because we did not meet our enrollment targets last fall, the Chancellor's Office did not look favorably on giving us additional funds for enrollment growth this year. To reframe their reaction within Tierney's viewpoint, the Chancellor's Office did not demonstrate confidence in our productivity and organizational performance. We may be achieving great results in student learning—again, we don't know enough about our success—but our inability to demonstrate adequate enrollment growth given local demand, hampered our efforts to garner growth funds from the CSU system. gEfte ffribe CONVOCATION continued from Page 1 speech by saying that while he holds great expectations for the BUILDING Continued from Pg. 3 dence" to prove student success. of the university and the community.

The classes will heip educate the campus community on police procedures. The courses include several hot topics on campus, including what is a hate crime. The purpose is to help the campus understand what a hate crime is, "there is some confusion," said Miller.

Other courses include what it takes to be a cop, terrorism awareness, crime scene techniques, and narcotics recognition. The crime scene techniques are expected to be a fun class with students learning how to lift fingerprints and acquire D.N.A. samples. Specialty classes like terrorism awareness and D.N.A. will implement the use of outside expertise. "We want to help our community become partners in fighting crime on campus," said Miller on why these classes are essential for people to attend. "We are looking for a diverse group of people to make up the class," said Miller. The class will hold up-to 30 people, and they are hoping for members of faculty, staff, and students. The training will run from Oct. 25 until Nov. 15 and will include about eight hours of training. The campus police offer other training throughout the year; including R.A.D., rape aggression defense.

A greeting and an invitation from The Pride's new editor-in-chief A letter from the editor is not a common occurrence for The Pride, but I thought it would be a good time to introduce myself as the new editor-in-chief. The decision was made last school year to combine the co-editors positions into one giving me the opportunity to give the readers the best paper The Pride staff can produce. With the new semester starting, the journalism class has no advisor hired and only three people on staff trying to put this first paper, so please be kind while critiquing it. I have my work cut out for me building an almost entire new staff of writers from scratch. Here is where I would like to shamelessly plug the golden opportunities awaiting any lucky student who would like to join the newspaper team and make history this semester by writing gems for the campus to read. With hard work, late nights and little pay, your name can be in print. If you are interested in joining the team as an editor or writer, Photo illustration by Jason Encabo I The Pride Patrick B.

If you do not want to take the class and want to be on the staff as a writer, the class is not required. The class meets on Tuesday nights at 5p.m. University Hall room 370.

With new increased funding supported by the students, current programs will remain and new teams will be formed to give Cougars a lot to cheer for.

With the new funding, the new teams will include women's softball, men's baseball and men's and women's soccer. "Women's golf is looking good this year," said Nichols. Last semester ended well for the Cougar teams, with the women's golf team reaching the top five of the national championship of NAIA. Kenny Adams finished in third place at the nationals for men's golf as a freshman. Track and Field will see the return of top ranking athlete Ann Marie Byrne and their chance to win the championship. The current sports are not deemed as spectator sports but the new teams will give a place for Cougars to go and cheer on their teams. The new teams will be in the NAIA league and will start as soon as fall 2006 beginning with soccer. In spring 2007, the baseball and softball teams will be introduced. "Currently we are looking for coaches," said Nichols. When they are hired, the coaches will be introduced to Cal State San Marcos in an open forum. The soccer team will play track's center field, while the plans are in thé works for the home of the baseball and softball teams. The intercollegiate sports are not the only activities offered for students. The Associated Student Incorporated (ASI) offers intramural sports, where students can sign up on teams to play each other. In the „past such sports as baseball and dodge ball have been offered.

Try that one on for size and see how it fits -Why thejoji market sucks An examination of a graduate's search to find his or her place in the world comes down to a simple comparison of what education meant in the past and what it means in today's job market. When I graduated from college, I had eight years of work experience with six of those years as a manager. When I applied for white-collar professional jobs, I did not land them. When I applied for blue-collar work, similar to the work I had done before, I did not get those jobs either. I was in strange place for sure since I could not reason out in my head what I was lacking. Mixing my age - 29 now, 27 when I began my career search - and my experience as a supervisor/manager in the blue-collar/service industry put me in the unique position of being both overeducated and pver-experienced. That is a hard little pill to swallow when I thought I had done everything right in terms of work and education. The fact is this is not our parents' education; it is not our parents' world. Simply put there i s no reward for your education in terms of a career being handed to you after graduation. It seems to me that the argument used to convince middle and high school students to go to college was the possibility of landing a high-paying job as reward for your commitment to education. That argument is dead - post-graduation life is not about your reward, it is about what you F REE!

If, as in my case, you present yourself as a blue-collar worker with a history degree, then there is not a lot of appeal to employers on the professional end of the work spectrum, at least the beginning. That being said, there are no regrets in pursuing higher education. Quite the contrary since I plan to return for a M. A. in history as soon as the program becomes a reality at Cal State San Marcos (remember the part about delaying the big student loan payback). A history degree will take you in strange directions as you work on it - take it from me, nervous breakdowns and strange realizations come fast and often when undermining the foundations of your knowledge. All that said, I don't think I would have picked a different major if the opportunity was presented to me; it is worth it now and I am sure it will be worth it in the long run. Holding the line For me, the 18-month frenzy ended when I landed a copy editing/page designer position with a local newspaper, albeit only part time. But the opportunity to be on a staff working in newsroom is its own reward - the newspaper industry is truly a foot-in-the door line of work. • : •: I got my chance after struggling as a freelance writer during See GRADUATION, page 7 �Fall back into summer f un Three summer events you haven't missed yet BY PHOÈNIX LINDGREN Special to The Pride While the Del Mar Fair, Gay Pride weekend, and Street Scene 2005 are now relegated to the place where fond summer memories go, there are a few fabulous summer events that you can still enjoy this fall.

For someone trying to break in the business of news writing, freelancing is a good way to pad your portfolio along with getting some money for your work as well. The downside to freelancing is it is hard to make a living at it especially in San Diego County. Another help, from what I hear, are internships. Although I never did an internship, I know of one former Pride staffer who landed a job right after graduation after completing two internships in one semester. I understand that internships are a lot of hard work with little or no compensation, however, but I think the value of internships is immense. Others I know have moved away all together tofindwork. I hear that is a good move if you can stand being away from San Diego. Failing everything else, holding the line with meantime job, like plumbing.which I did, pays the bills and puts the mind at ease. I do not want to come across as negative about the entire experience offinishingcollege and looking for a job. I, more or less, want to offer a reality check for students coming in or checking out this year. There is nothing to replace the education I received at Cal State San Marcos.

S urvivor Meet a former Image courtesy of Miramax Pictures Heath Ledger (left) and Matt Damon (right) played the roles of brothers Jake and Will Grimm. BY PATRICK B. LONG Pride Staff Writer Terry Gilliam returns to the director's chair since "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" to guide Matt Damon and Heath Ledger as "The Brothers Grimm." Even with some classic Gilliamfisheye camera shots and obscure characters, the story falls short of good. "The Brothers Grimm" brings to life the famous brothers who wrote classic fairytales in the early 20th century. The movie portrays the two in a newfictitiousstory as two con-artists meandering from town to town in French JFc>jr «S 1 W e l l s 7- lOpm Thursdays Only FRIDAY SEPTEMBER /MOJker spru/si<3 & evet^si7HHG~ TAKe^ SUNDAY SEPTEMBER JtJLJL. JL«-* JW J L v MtmL . " American occupied Germany, excising fabricated ghosts, witches, and demons. When called upon by the French government, the brothers are forced to deal with an actual enchanted forest and curse. The plot cleverly alludes to some of their most famous fairytales, including "Little Red Riding Hood," "Rapunzel," "Cinderella" and "Hansel and Gretel." The trouble with the plot is its inability to combine them into a good plot. The writing seems choppy and the dialogue forced. Even Gilliam has trouble creating the illusion that Damon is a good actor. I felt as if I was watching Matt Damon's doppelganger from "Team America: World Policy." Positive elements do occur in "The Brothers Grimm," including the special effects. The introduction of fairytale characters comes at a price. Gilliam is well known for going over budget for his movies, and it appears he spent the movie on great computer graphics. The set design was excellent and has always been an intriguing element of Gilliam's work. Overall, the movie feels like small skits of bad acting combined to make a movie. The story is stuck somewhere in space never finding a home in the region of comedy, action, or even horror. Some scenes left me confused whether to jump or laugh. This misdirection adds some confusion to the plot and who the movie is geared for. The combination of classic figures in literature is not new either. Recently it was tried in "League or Extraordinary Gentlemen" and "Van Helsing." It was a nice attempt but not worthy of the silver screen. Mouse AS!

X I I N O. 1 as ••I Discount Campus Books shafted once again By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride StafFWriter Discount Campus Books, an off-campus bookstore, once again has faced challenges in obtaining textbook information for the fall semester. The bookstore, which touts itself for its 10 percent used book discount off the University Bookstore price, has served the university with a lawsuit for violating the California Public Records Act due to the lack of information sharing. According to the California Public Records Act, any record that is not confidential is public record said John Kilby, manager of the store located across Twin Oaks Valley Rd. from the university. Therefore, if the university retains a record of the books ordered each semester, then that information is public record. "I think we should have the same access (to the booklist) as other entities," said Kilby. "The information is getting to Aztec Shops; it should get to us too." Photo by Michael Dolan / The Pride Aztec Shops run the University Bookstore under a contract from the California State University San Marcos Foundation. The Foundation is a separate organization from the university and therefore not subject to the California Public Records Act TTl e B a r e N ECEi 5SITIES -Wear comfortable shoes. -Arrive early for the best parking spaces. -Make a hard copy, an email copy and disk copy of all important documents. -Take your CCR exam as soon as possible. -Mini skirts and stairs do not mix. -Drink plenty of fluids. -If someone is on their cell phone, do not interrupt to ask directions to the library. -Turn off your cell phone in class. -Don't be afraid to go number 2 in the bathroom. -Save money; buy used books. does not apply to the Foundation," said Smith. "The information they have is not public information." However, it is a question of how that information is collectedthat is the issue of contention from Cal State San Marcos. The university maintains that Aztec Shops collect book information independently and there is no resource at the university level that collects or retains this information. "We are not asking Aztec Shops for the information," said Kilby. "All we are asking for is the same access to the booklist as the (university) bookstore has." In the meantime, Kilby plays a guessing game of the books to order; in the back of the store are 39 cartons of books waiting to be returned. The cartons are filled with books that Kilby ordered based on booklists from past semesters, but that are no longer being used in current classes. Kilby maintains that the book said Deborah Smith, risk manager information must be directed for Cai State San Marcos.

Haynes, has prepared for her first full year by creating a new committee. This new committee, which will include a position dedicated to the President of Associated Students, Inc. "I am trying to assure student voices in cabinets and advisory councils and add more substance to the student role," said Haynes.

He contends that it would be easy to require professors to submit booklist information to both Aztec Shops and his store. However, Smith denies there is a record of the book orders placed by professors kept by the university. "(The university) does not keep copies of the booklist," said Smith. At this time, the university does not plan to implement a process to track the books professors order said Smith. Cal State San Marcos President Karen Haynes affirmed Smith's statement. "It is common practice where a third party runs the bookstore," said Haynes. "The university does not control the books used and we are not the provider of the books," If what both Smith and Haynes said is accurate, then the university has neither knowledge of the books that are ordered nor the content of these books. In the meantime, Kilby relies on the few professors that contact him directly to let him know what books to order. Also, book sales representatives pass the word on to Kilby about the books to be used in the upcoming semester. Student reaction to the limited options for textbook purchases has generally come out in favor of the off-campus bookstore. "I don't think it is right," said Stacy Palchanis, a liberal studies major. "If students are using their own income (to purchase books), they should have a choice " HAYNES, from page 1 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 San Marcos.

On November 3, President Haynes will be hosting an event, to which faculty, staff and the community will be invited, to celebrate the 15th anniversary of California State University San Marcos. This even will be a platform to show appreciation to the early founders of the University. "This will be a public event for a number of people to come together and connect, or reconnect, and show appreciation to the college's early founders," said Haynes. Later on this semester, the president's website will be getting a make-over. "I am excited that we will be adding streaming video to our website," said Haynes.

Entering its second year in operation, the UVA is filled to capacity once again with minor changes in who can be residents. Since last October, CSUSM current students were encouraged to apply for a spot at UVA. It was not until May 2004 that advertising was made public for non-CSUSM students to join UVA. Advertising was aimed primarily at Palomar College students. Housing for students is determined by date of application. Students that turned A| H in their requests early had a more favorable chance of getting housing. According to Brian Dawson, director of UVA, capacity is once again at its limit. There will be a total of 460 residents with 15 of the students being from Palomar this year. "The students from Palomar will most likely transfer to CSUSM," said Dawson. "This gives them an opportunity and little taste of what our campus is all about." During the summer, it was estimated that over 50 students were on the waitlist to join UVA. Currently there are only 10 students still waiting for housing. Photo by Eric Mercado / The Pride ^ jl n a n K s to the fabulous Jeremy L ong ^ llWANÄD SWIM INSTRUCTORS!!!

This year the world convened in Athens, Greece. The Olympics always seem to grab the casual sports fan more aggressively than professional sports because in the Olympics the athletes are competing for their country rather than for themselves. During the Olympics you find people saying things like, "Wow, did you see the U.S. Men's rowing team win the gold the other day?" I mean, who gets excited about rowing? No one, it's just the fact that these rowers did it for the country. I was with my friend Karin last Thursday when the women's soccer team won the gold medal in overtime. Her mom called her just to ask if she heard the news about the women's soccer team. The Olympics are all about having pride for your country just like that. These Olympics provided many discussions for Americans with a lot of them being centered on the disappointments. Tom Pappas had to drop out of the decathlon due to injury, and Rulon Gardner wasn't able to defend his title in Greco Roman wrestling. Those were two of the largest disappointments. However, the accomplishments by the U.S. competitors are what really stick out in most people's minds. There have been many jaw dropping occurrences in these Olympics. In the past 100 years the United States looked like they were dueling with small butter knives when it came to fencing. However, this year Mariel Zagunis won the first fencing gold medal for the United States Since 1904 to end the drought. One of the more remarkable performances in these Olympics was from the duo of Kerri Walsh and Misty May in beach volleyball. The duo beat up on every other country like there was not even another team on the other side of the net. Walsh and May did not even lose a single set during the entire Olympics to give the U.S.A. its first gold in Above: Justin Gatlin, bottom right: Michael Phelps, below: U.S. women's soccer team. Photos courtesy of http://www.nbcolympics.com and http://www.espnstar.com. Gold, silver, and bronze medals. Photo courtesy of http://www.nbcolympics.com beach volleyball history. The only team more dominant than the combo of Walsh and May was the women's softball team. The rest of the world didn't know what they were getting when they signed up for women's softball. The women's softball team won hands down every single game they competed in and outscored their opponents 51-1 during the entire tournament. However, no one has been more interesting to the United States than the young 19-year-old Michael Phelps. Many people set unrealistic expectations for Phelps by saying that he would break the record for most gold medals in one Olympics which is held by Mark Spitz who won 7 gold medals in 1972. Phelps did tie an Olympic record by winning the most medals in one Olympics by capturing eight, but only 6 were gold. Going into the Olympics it was thought to be Michael Phelps versus the world and by the looks of it, he literally defeated the world by capturing more swimming medals than 17 other countries. Since Phelps is only 19 the sky is the limit, and in the 2008 games there is no doubt he will be in China to go after Mark Spitz's gold medal record. The U.S.A also showed off in gymnastics. The U.S. won both the men's and women's individual all around competitions. It marked only the second time in Olympic history in which one country has swept the individual all around. Carly Patterson, 16, won gold for the women and Paul Hamm took it for the men. It will be another four years till the next summer games but hopefully you will keep that same pride for your country over that time. �BACK TO SCHOOL JJrtV^lV Tuesday; August 31, 2004 1 IWWJ-J \J T HE PRIDE Go see "Fahrenheit 9/11" By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride SteffWriter I met a woman over the weekend and we started a conversation that eventually turned to the subject of the war in Iraq. I voiced my disapproval for the war to which she replied, "You're not one of those Michael Moore people, are you?" I confidently answered, "Why yes, I agree wholeheartedly with the work Moore is doing." Seemingly f rustrated she said, "Well, I suppose you are entitled to believe what you want." Indeed, I suppose I am. Michael Moore has received a fair share of both criticism and praise for his eye-opening documentary, "Fahrenheit 9-11." However, no one should be in the position to say that they "suppose" I have a right to EMMA believe what I want just because it disagrees with his or her own opinion: that right is not a supposition. The beauty about Michael Moore's work i s based on his inquisitive nature and his examinations of issues that are important to him. Moore does not sit idly by and let decisions that affect his life go unchallenged. I do not and neither should you. Our society is based on the free exchange of ideas, and the necessary dissention to challenge to those ideas is what makes Moore's work so important. Moore is, in fact, an American in the true sense of the word. We can not honestly say we are free Americans if we choose to ignore the opinion of dissent that Photo courtesy of http://michaelmoore.com BY SARAH CARLIN R40K TO SCHOOL SLICKS An bucks the current actions of the powers to be. Is there anything less American than blindly following the decisions of our leaders without asking the important questions? Go see "Fahrenheit 9-11." Even if you do not agree with Moore, you can never be told that you did make an informed decision based on both sides of the story. In addition, you might see something that will change your mind or inspire you to become more politically motivated. A fter all, we are in college to expand our knowledge and n ot just to be reaffirmed in what we already know. My FR/Ends jroö BUS/ TO «Ardour m W41TÍ WHAT ¿ M I SAYiNe?

The answer is no, for now at least.

"And when faculty morale is negatively affected, it can't help but affect students!" said Dr. Thomas. Dr. Barrett and the CFA urge students to vote on the issues that affect them and their education within the state of California. Since the state remains without a budget, it is imperative, according to Dr. Barrett, that students understand drastic cuts will begin in Spring 2011 and beyond if no budget appears soon.

CougarBookRentals. com �S TUDENT HEALTH AND COUNSELING SERVICES Keeping you healthier, a little wealthier, and wise BYTORIA BODDEN FEATURES EDITOR Hie beginning of the academic year is a great time for both new and returning students to learn about services offered by CSUSM, especially ones that can not only keep you healthy, but also keep a little more money in your pocket. Student Health and Counseling Services (SHCS) is located directly across Twin Oaks Valley Road at 120 Craven Road. Its within easy walking distance of campus, and offers a significant amount of health services for free, or at reduced prices, to students. I got a chance to sit down with Dr. Karen Nicholson, SHCS's medical director, to talk about how SHCS can help you as a student. PRIDE: What would you say are the most important services offered here? DR. NICHOLSON: Well, the most common thing we see students for are issues surrounding family planning and sexual health... We have a free services program called Family PACT. It provides family planning to students who qualify, both men and woman. That could be free pap smear, free birth control, free STD screenings for women. For young men, it can include free STD screens and condoms. It's our third year of providing Family PACT. (For more information about the program and to find out if you qualify, stop by SHCS and talk to the Family PACT registration coordinator Monday through Thursday from 9am to 1 l am or 2pm to 4pm, Friday from 9am to 1 lam.). We see a lot of headaches, sore throats, upset stomachs... We also see a lot of students for depression and anxiety. If students have stress or depression, we refer students to our counseling section, which is part of this center. We have three staff psychologists and a part time psychiatrist who can prescribe medication. W hat d o you t hink is t he most i mportant t hing f or students t o know about SCHS? Something t hat you would want incoming students t o know? As a registered student, students can see medical providers and counselors for free, with the exception of the psychiatrist. If a student needs to come every day, there's no co-pay. There are some charges for labs or medications, but not all of them. It's also good for students to know that we have a registered pharmacist on staff, and we carry a lot of over the counter medications at significantly reduced prices for students. We also look for ways to help students save money on their medications. They're not obligated to use our pharmacy. We'll tell you if a medication might be cheaper at Walmart or Costco. So why would students with health insurance come to SCHS? Sometimes, it's just more convenient to come here. If students who have insurance see us, there's no co-pay. If they need a prescription, sometimes they can submit the receipt back to the insurance company to be reimbursed. (WRITER'S NOTE: The Family PACT program offered by SHCS mentioned earlier can also help students who have insurance, but need confidential sexual health services outside of their insurance.) Tell me about SCHS providing vaccines. I know you were sending out e-mails left and right when people needed the H1N1 vaccine last year. We offer a lot of vaccines. We'll have the flu shot in early fall, no later than the end of September. We'll advertise the dates of the clinics. This year, the regular flu shot and H1N1 vaccine will be combined in one shot. It was about $10 for students to receive the seasonalfluvaccine last year, and it'll probably be about the same this year... We also have the vaccines for Hepatitis A and B, Tdap which is the tetanus shot, the meningitis vaccine, MMR, and Gardisil, the HPV vaccine that has now been approved for use in both men and women.. All of our vaccines are $65 or less, except Gardasil. It's $120 per shot, because it's so new. So, what about H1N1? I've also heard about whooping cough starting to be a problem in elementary and high school. We're in contact with the county and we help them manage any potential outbreaks, so we're well prepared for anything. Most of the stuff people are hearing about whooping cough in the media is happening to little kids. However, we do know that adults can spread it to children, so we mostly want to make sure students PHOTOS BY: TORIA BODDEN//THE PRIDE who work with kids are immunized. What about emergency services? Do you have any advice f or students if they have an emergency? We don't have an emergency room here, and we don't offer urgent care. We are in a good location, though, with emergency response teams on both sides of us, that can transport students quickly to either Tri City Medical Center or Palomar Hospital... We do have same day appointments, though. These aren't for life threatening emergencies, but they're for urgent problems that happen overnight. We keep these appointments blocked off until the day of the appointment. Typically, even in non-urgent situation, people can get appointments in one to two days. The wait for counseling appointments does get longer as the semester progresses. One last question» since I know this is information that may be very important to both our male and female readers. What are your resources for dealing with sexual assault? If any student is the victim of a sexual or physical assault, they can come here for an initial evaluation, which will include a conversation with one of our police officers. We're not a sexual assault response team (SART) center. The closest one is at Palomar. However, between clinical help and counseling support, we do everything we can to help the student. There's also a new webpage from the Women's Center website about sexual assault advocacy that may help students (http://www.csusm.edu/sadv/sa/ index.html). For more information about SCHS and its services, check online at http://www.csusm.edu/ shcs/or call 760-750-4915. �T AKE SPOME OA CTION ' WEEKS O F W ELCOME' ROVIDES T ONS F WAYS T O G ET I NVOLVED BY TORIA BODDEN FEATURES EDITOR There really is a place to ask a nice, friendly person for directions.

I've held almost every position in The Pride over the past three years and I'm excited to return with an (almost) entirely new staff of talented students.

On the bench, incoming freshman Warren Ashcroft joins the Cougars from Poway High School, and should contribute immediately. His explosive goalscoring ability may also make him a good fit up front as well as in the midfield. Fellow newcomers Carlin Kennedy and Anthony Perez will also contribute, and should develop into very good players for the program. On defense, veterans Cary Cousineau and Tyler Spitznagel have been strong in camp and should see thefield,as should freshmen Anthony Fischer and J.J. Paetow. The squad is also getting a potentially big addition in Eric Lopez, a transfer from Chico State who should join the team early in the season. Overall, expect this year's Cougar team to be more attack-oriented than those of the last couple years. Despite the lack of experience, CSUSM is already receiving votes in the NALA Preseason Poll, and team is looking to start strong to earn itsfirstnational ranking, as well as qualify again for the A.I.I.

"We want to encourage students to be involved in the arts outside of the classroom. Its recreational, therapeutic, relaxing and expressive. It gives students a creative space," stated Marilyn Huerta, Arts Association Advisor. Huerta, realizing there wasn't an art organization, began asking students last year if they would be interested in starting a student art organization. "In the past we've had about 120 members. I expect to continue growing," stated Huerta. Last year, the Arts Association organized events that included Hope for Haiti Art Auction, Falling on Winter Student Art Exhibit, Love Your Body Day in collaboration with the ASI Women's Center and Operation Art, an exhibit dedicated to veterans. I he Arts Association will kick off the fall semester with a student exhibit that will showcase student work in the Arts building. "This club is great for art students who want to step out of their shell, show their work and get feedback. It also gives the average student a creative space to express themselves," said Heurta. Last semester, two Arts Association members, Kevin* Cruz and Brittany Galante, won a student contest in which they were selected to paint the mural on the storage sheds located near the basketball courts at The Clarke Field House. "Through events we do, you are able to network with people who are in thefieldyou're interested in," stated Lauren Reynoso, Arts Association President. Although the club executives haven't met yet to discuss this semester's calendar, Reynoso would like to collaborate with SDSU and UCSD in the future, who both have student art organizations, and create a San Diego Art Association. Meetings are held bi-weekly on Thursdays at noon in ART 342. Students can join by emailing Marilyn Huerta at mhuerta@csusm.edu, Prowlin' the Kitchen Lauren Reynoso at reyno46@cougars.csusm.edu or by showing up at a meeting. The Arts Association is currently looking tofillthe secretary and creative director position. The Arts Association will be participating in the "Leave Your Mark" events held on September 21, in the Library Plaza from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. "If there's a student who has an idea to do something, bring it to the table and we'll try and make it happen," said Huerta.

Harry Brown EEK u npMnQpnfem^m m^mmmm^^^mM nmm m ifl^NDjTHE iöHtf ROÄDjTI MmmMimm w Ku DVDS �the truth about raves BY CANDICE WYATT ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR The rave movement has turned what were once underground dance parties into nationalized events involving tens of thousands of attendees. The recent Electronic Daisy Carnival (EDC) held at the LA Coliseum on June 25 and 26,2010, attracted over 135,000 attendees, making it the largest rave in North America. Unfortunately, a 15-year old girl overdosed on ecstacy and within days headlines filled Southern California newspapers and the LA Coliseum put a temporary ban on raves at the venue. The reputable venue EDC was held at and the 18 and over age requirement did not prevent this fatality. "Drug use can have risks but that doesn t make raves unsafe, it makes drug use potentially unsafe," said Nathan Messer, President of DanceSafe, a non-profit harm reduction organization. DanceSafe has addressed the rising concern that drug use is a dangerous and prevalent occurrence in the rave scene. The organizations Web site, www.dancesafe.org, uses education and awareness as the key to making raves a safer environment. The site has drug information, health and safety tips, as well as drug screening test kits that can take a small amount of an ecstasy pill and test it for other potentially dangerous additives. "We neither condone nor condemn drug use. Rather, we believe that each person should make their own choices, and that people DO make better choices when given pointers to good information," stated Messer. A few unfortunate events have given raves a poor reputation for being a drug-centric, unsafe environment and has lead police, legislatures and local communities to fight against the new culture of electronic dance music. The Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), a subdivision of the U.S. Department of Justice, released "Rave Parties: A ProblemOriented Guide for Police," in 2002. "The use of rave-related drugs has not been strongly linked to other crimes and unlike other youth events or other types of concerts, raves do not typically involve much assault," stated Michael S. Scott, a former chief of police and author of the COPS "Rave Parties" guide. "Rave culture discourages sexual aggressiveness, and while some drugs do lower sexual inhibitions, they also can inhibit sexual performance. So in some respects, raves are safer places for young people, especially women, than conventional bars and clubs," stated Scott. The acronym that the rave culture lives by is PLUR (Peace, Love, Unity, Respect). Responsibility was added to the mantra in the late 1990s to increase awareness of drug overdoses at raves. A junior at CSUSM majoring in Literature and Writing, who chose to be referred to by her given rave name, Raggedy Ann, has attended five raves. "I like the music at raves. Its like every time I go to the club they play crappy rap music that I don t want to dance to. People [at raves] are all really nice and just want to dance," said Ann. "I don t feel like the amount of security or police affects the quality of a rave. They are there to make sure there are no fights and to just have a presence." For first time ravers, expect a high entrance fee. Raves are often accompanied by extravagant light shows and various DJs. The music is loud, so bringing a pair of earplugs along will protect your hearing. "Ravers should be advised to wear loose-fitting clothing, drink plenty of water if they are sweating, and take breaks from dancing to rest and cool off. Rave-related drug users should also eat salty foods to prevent hyponatraemia," stated Scott. In addition, you should also be able to spot warning signs to a potentially dangerous rave environment. "If it is so overcrowded that it is impossible to get to exits easily, if fire doors are locked or blocked, if security isn't searching for weapons, if cold water is shut off in the restrooms, if bottled water is sold without the caps so you can t refill it and carry it with you, all of these are bad signs. Also, some sorts of medical staff should be present for any event with more than about 500 people," stated Messer. The upcoming Abstract Festival will be held on September 11, 2010, at the San Diego Sports Arena from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. There will be two stages and you must be 18 to attend. A full bar will be available for those who are 21 and over. Tickets can be purchased on abstractfest.com and prices range from $40 to $90.

CSUSM finishes the season with a 10-5-4 record. Vanguard, the #8 seed nationally, improves to 13-1-6 and advances to the NAIA National Championship in Alabama. In what was a tightly-contest match that resembled the one between these two teams in September, Vanguard's defense smothered the Cougars' offense, limiting San Marcos to 3 shots on the day. Keeper Kaycee Gunion, the A.I.I. Conference Tournament MVP, kept CSUSM in the game by making a season-high 8 saves, but it wasn't quite enough. The game's lone goal came in the 17 minute. San Marcos was whistled for a hand-ball in the box to give Vanguard a penalty kick, and Karri Currier capitalized on it.

So in my time here so far I have done a lot of great things. I have enjoyed going places, and I have had great fun so far with being able to go to the beach and the number of trips I have been o a I have really enjoyed my trips to Hollywood, the Grand Canyon and Six Flags to name but just a few. I really enjoyed the "Humans vs. Zombies" game that took place in October. It was <Ii§r appointing that it had to end I hear there may be another one coming up long believe me it is hard.

I plan here has been both comfortable and to do more things when I come back, highly stressful at times, particularly I want to go on some more trips, and at the moment Hands up ifyou can't I want to see a basketball, baseball wait for this semester to be over and and American football game. we all get to relax for just a little bit I am looking to keep myself a bit I know I definitely am. Like most busier next semester, looking to join people, I am sitting here wondering a bowling club, and trying to get firstly what classes will be available an internship and possibly a job on and then if I will get into them campus, maybe with this paper. I am looking forward to the Christ- The most difficult aspect about mas break where I get to fly home being out here apartfrommissing and see my family for the first time my family has been not being able in 4 months.

Distant students and families stay in touch using technology Status Updates I f f ] CSU San Marcos Q j Photos Q Links ^ Video ¿¡J Pages More BY MAEVE CAMPLISSON Pride Staff Writer As new college f reshman, we learn a lot of things in our f irst semester. The immunization requirement and the joys of being allowed to walk to the restroom without a hall pas& are two things, but a learning experience we have to deal with off-campus is the scattering of our hometown classmates. Many of the f riends we sat next to in classes for thirteen years are now somewhere across the country, and many of us have moved away f rom our families as well. It's f un to meet new people and make new f riends, but keeping in touch with lifelong f riends and family is important too. W hat's the modern mainstream solution? Facebook, of course. It seems like everyone has one, usually to keep i n touch with f riends and family. It makes for a good security blanket, but do these virtual human connections really mean anything in real life? I love Facebook j ust as much as the next college student, but there are parts of it that I am beginning to see as anti-social. For example, status updates. When a girl updates her status, she is writing about herself and talking to no one in particular. It's not a message aimed towards a particular person—those go in messages and comments. All status updates begin with the poster's own name and are generally about the poster. This is hot meaningful or personal communication. A real-life equivalent would be to stand on a soapbox on a crowded street and yell about how your day went. These status updates at least open up for conversation in that people can choose to comment and discuss the updates. At least, people used to do this. Recently, however, Facebook introduced the " like" button, and now, if someone f inds an update witty or intelligent, they can press a button to show their approval, rather than expressing it through words. This is j ust disappointing. Spouting out phrases about myself and a former classmate clicking "like" does not count as a way of keeping our friendship alive. Some of the benefits of Facebook are photo and video sharing as well as the instant messaging feature. Those are definitely great ways of staying in touch more quickly and conveniently than by phone and snail mail without sacrificing personal communication. There are also public wall comments and private messages, which can be conversational, but there is the downside of application spam urging members to join fake mobs or farm fake vegetables. Facebook is sort of a mixed blessing. Status updates can be witty, applications can be amusing, and distant f riends and family can stay connected through chat and pictures. However, it's important not to replace actual interactions with Facebook alone. Phone calls and Skype messaging software can be much more personal than messages and comments since they have tone of voice and realtime speech. Skype even has a video chat option that t urns any voice call into a very personal, although eerily Jetsons-like, face-to-face conversation. However, no matter how technology progresses, nothing beats handwritten letters, care packages, and visits to show your distant loved one that you care enough to take the time to stay in touch with them. If none of these options are possible, I recommend thinking of creative ways to stay in touch using technology, rather than simply retyping solely on Facebook comments and " like" clicks.

Very nice since I am not a tofu fan and am still working on liking it. I will start of by saying this Pad Thai was very good. It was certainly much better than I expected. It had great flavor, medium spicy with the perfect amount of burn and required thirst without blocking the flavor but truly enhancing the dish. All the flavors were lovely together. They do not have lunch specials only regular dinner menu but the portions are large with prices more than reasonable ranging from $7 for tofu veggie to $12 for seafood. Portions are large for lunch, so there is enough to share or have leftovers.! hate to say it, but I ate the whole thing. I was so stuffed I thought I would pop (side note: I can eat a lot! My husband is much bigger than I am and I eat more than he does at times. In five more years, it will really start catching up with me). It has a Very light sauce, savory and not too sweet, and two fat slices of lime and per- fect spice; truly a lovely balance. I give them props because the tables, walls, and ceiling were actually clean for a hole in the wall restaurant. My only complaint, and this was too bad to over look, is the menus. They were old dirty and falling apart. I wanted to wash my hands after touching them. On my second visit, I had the Pad Woon Sen ,a glass noodle and veggie dish in a light soy-based sauce, accompanied by Tom Kha Gai. The food is just too good. I had the Tom Kha and oh my goodness! It was the best I have ever had. The owner said it was because they use real coconut milk whereas other places use powdered coconut milk. I had no idea powdered coconut milk existed, huge difference apparently. I would like a little more acidity for my personal taste but a lemon wedge could fix that. I think next time I will try the pho. Yes, they have pho here too for all you pho fans. tomato slices. Lay chicken breast over tomatoes. Coat chicken breast with olive oil or oil spray.

I am an ardent fan of garlic so I will use about twice what I recommend here. If you love garlic there can never be too much. Just don't make these for a first date. I buy my garlic at Trader Joes and I keep a jar of pre chopped garlic for convenience but fresh garlic is just as good. I let the green beans thaw by running them under warm water. Shake off excess water and put in towel to pat dry. Put the oil in a frying pan and get it nice and hot on medium-high heat. When oil just starts to smoke, toss in the green beans and garlic. Don't stir them right away. I like them to brown a little bit. After about 2 minutes, stir beans around and add salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.

He continues his essay "It was possible for man to enter a covenant with god under which he could live collectively in social justice and individually in moral responsibility. To this extent, Israel stands forth as the heir to the religious history of the preceding millennium." To extend the questing for truth further, the entire Historicity of Jesus has been for centuries a looming and unanswered question as one can see in many scholarly texts including "The Historicity of Jesus" by Shirley Jackson Case. But to return from the digression, the point is that effort is required to either confirm or debunk the information in this or any film. That is after all what every one of us should do with every film we view that claims as its basis truth or authority. Only then can we learn, grow and become more complete in our undei> standing of the world in which we live. So if I may be so bold as to highly recommend that everyone see thisfilm.And yes I know we are all going to revel in the upcoming winter break. What better time could there be to take a serious look at a serious film and then find out where truth lies, or if purported truth is a lie. What to See ***** When I suddenly had an unavoidable craving for Pad Thai* I panicked! I had class at CSUSM and my solid Thai joints are in Oceanside. I have to give Kinaly some major props. The server/ owner is a doll and very friendly, very familiar with her customers. It felt more like having lunch at your aunt's house than eating at a restaurant. I love that. I did not get a spotlight on the "only one" OMG! I eat alone. 1 know how strange for a woman to eat alone. The restaurant's name is Kinaly Thai but the sign out front simply says "Pad Thai Restaurant." Side Note: Eating alone is a wonderful experience. If you have issues with being self conscious, try it. Please do not eat alone and talk on your cell phone. This will rob you of the experience. Texting and cell phone games are acceptable as well as a book or iPod. I am married and, you know, with kids, eating alone is almost a treat. I digress. I got the tofu veggie Pad Thai. Simply dinner BY TRISH CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer W hat fo see on DVD BY BLAINE H. MOGIL Pride Staff Writer After weeks of putting off my daughter's request to see this film, I finally watched it when she came down to visit this week. I should know by now that when she suggests that I should hear, see or read something it is always a good recommendation. She is rarely wrong in her advice, and this film is no exception. "Zetigeist" This is a documentary film steeped in controversy and the birthplace of even more controversy. It is a threepart film that attempts to explain three different topics, as three separate issues. The three parts include the origins of modern monotheistic religion, an explanation of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, and an explication of how the masses have become ensnared in a perpetual debt trap. The material itself is enough to raise the f ur on the backs of the necks of many a viewer. In our open society, with you as openminded viewers, the first order of business is to view the film. The second and most important part is to do so with a healthy amount of skepticism. Another piece to the puzzle with this, or any other controversial films such as this, is to allow for the possibility that what you know to be true, may not be. Finally, talk to others, research to find the truth to the best of your ability, and avoid making any decisions based on preconceived beliefs. Should a viewer watch with a closed mind, there is no chance to expand his mind with new knowledge. For a moment, we shall digress from the movie. The first segment of the film explores Islamic/Judeo-Christian origins. While most would agree that the oldest monotheistic religion to spring forth from the Middle East is Judaism with Christianity and Islam to follow later, many would take offense that the concept that monotheism arose from earlier religions. Although the movie focuses on Pagan and Egyptian roots to the development of a Jesus narrative, we should come to know that Judaism did not spring forth directly from the mouth of God, and thai is arose from earlier religions. As W.W. Meissner points out in his paper "Notes on Monotheism: Origins," the narratives of Genesis 1-11 "are significant in that they bear a close relation to similar material in Assyrian and Babylonian tablets, and show little Photo courtesy of Aromy X.

I t's still one of my all-time favorite songs nearly a decade later. To me, the song was perfeet. R ufus's buttery baritone and the gentle instrumentation were almost t6o good to be true. But the lyrics—oh, the lyrics—were beyond anything else I'd heard. In fact, they're still so unbelievably poetic, calling the composition a "song" doesn't even seem fair. And you know how I feel about poetic music. The respect I had for R ufus writing this song grew exponentially once YouTube happened, and a quick search of "Hallelujah" exposed trie to hundreds upon hundreds of 1 covers, including the achingly poignant version by the late Jeff Buckley. OK; I thought, people j ust realize "Hallelujah" is indeed an excellent song, even if it is butchered on occasion. At some point, I listened to what I assumed was Leonard Cohen covering the song. Unfortunately, as talented as the man is in poetry (check out "The SpiceBox of Earth"), he j ust isn't grabbing my attention with this spoken word thing he has going on when my dear R ufus makes the song nearly operatic. To my surprise, I finally came across the copyrighted song credits: words and music by Leonard Cohen. Cohen, a writer-turnedmusician, composed "Hallelujah" in 1981 for his 1984 imagecourtesyof Adalah-NY album "Various ~ Positions", album. I can't tell you why, but that sounds nice than one that Initially, the track wasn't too I can assume that most people clearly surpasses the level of successful; neither was the would rather listen to a song art present in most modern music. And let's be honest here, Cohen hasn't got the most melodious set of pipes in all the land.

C SUSM get inked Students demonstrate their love for tattoos. BY SANDRA CHALMERS Arts & Entertainment Editor Elyce Maxwell, a current junior studying for a Bachelor's degree in Human Development and a minor in Psychology, got herfirsttattoo at the age of 18. "One of my tattoos is a picture of a bow, with the saying T he greatest gift starts and ends with family'." In an elegant cursive script, the black lettering on the top of her foot is decorated with a classic red bow just below her ankle. "I was inspired to get it because my family means the world to me and no matter what happens they will always be the best part of my life," said Maxwell. Maxwell got this particular tattoo at the age of 19 and at a local tattoo shop Tattoo. FatKid Tattoo specializes in custom tattoos while also offering a wide range of classic artwork pieces and styles. Price range depends on artists and appointments and walk-ins are welcome. "All I have to say is if you're planning on getting it [tattoo] on your foot it will hurt!" Tierra Spence, a junior majoring in Communications holds a sweet spot for tattoos, a sugared skull representing both of her grandmothers sits above her hipbone. "I have always had a love for Dia de Los Muertos art and I wanted something tattooed on me with that style of art but I also wanted it to mean something to me," said Spence. After finding the perfect design of a Dia de Los Muertos skull done by a close friend, she customized it to a perfect fit to represent her grandmothers. "I went through a lot when they passed away and one day I was looking at drawing my friend Theresa Lavelle did for a t-shirt design of a Day of the Dead skull and it was exactly what I was looking for in a tattoo," said Spence. Dia de Los Muertos, or more commonly recognized as the Day of the Dead, is a holiday tradition particular to Mexican culture a cknowledging the death of loved ones in a festive celebration. S pence lost both of her grandmothers J about eight month8 apart from each other and t hrough the struggle of the loss, she made a t ribute to them with some p ermane ink. Her tattoo is a classic Day of the Dead skull done with black ink and shows only the front facial features filled in with small details. On the forehead of the skull, a heart symbol with a corner piece missing symbolizes her emotional loss and grievances for her grandmothers. "I love looking at it and remembering my grandmothers. I know that sounds odd, but the heart just really represents how much I miss them and that why it's missing a piece, but it brings me comfort." Full of color and action, Alseeandra Uriarte, a senior majoring in Human Development, got a tattoo to represent a milestone in rock artist,. Atreyu. Uriarte got her tattoo from Good Neighbor Tattoo her life. Covering almost half of her lower back, an image of two vintage western pistols filled with intricate details of red designs shoot out smoke to form a heart with the lyric "Just live and breathe, try not to die again." The pistols feature Ted roses surrounding the gun handles and the red roses also surround the bottom of the smoky heart. "I've had a very rough year and in the midst of all the turmoil, I lost myself and who I was striving to become, it was not a very fantastic feeling and I vowed to never let myself 'die' again," Uriarte said. The lyrics comes from popular Photo courtesy of Alseeandra Uriarte Escondido. "I got my first one {tattoo] on my 18 birthday. Now I'm turning 21 and I have four.

It has been speculated that the lack of availability is due to the statewide budget crisis, but there is another sieve that the California Faculty Association (CFA) claims is draining the CSU system, not funded by state allowances. It is being implemented at all CSU campuses by direction of the Chancellor's Office, and it's a computer program called PeopleSoft. So far, CSUSM is remaining on budget and not showing any signs of trouble with the implementation, but the project is still far from finished. CFA response to the implementation of PeopleSoft According to the homepage of the California State University at calstate.edu, the entire system is made up of 407,000 students and 44,000 faculty and staff. The primary representative of the faculty in the CSU is the CFA. In an email circulated to its members on Nov. 20, the CFA has issued an "urgent request" to all CFA members, asking for any kind of information and/or evidence about misappropriation of funding of the PeopleSoft project. It says that in a few months, the "California State Auditor is scheduled to complete its comprehensive audit of the CSU's Common Management System (CMS/PeopleSoft) computer data project." The message also reports that the "software has demonstrated poor performance history at other U.S. campuses, and that the project is likely to cost tens of millions of dollars more than its original $400 million estimate." While the $400 million approximation is system-wide, there are only 23 CSU campuses, which means that if each university were the same size, there would be a roughly $17 million average for each school to pay out of its own funding - and each campus is expected to surpass that estimate. Held at San Jose State University, hearings for a CFA project, entitled "The Future of CSU, Reclaiming the University for the People of California," involved speeches by powerful union representatives from around the state. Pauline Robinson, the director of the CSU division of the California State Employees Association (CSEA) staff union, expressed her concern about the PeopleSoft changeover. "What I think the CSU is missing here is they don't value the talent that they have in the system...They now have another partnership going.. .It's called CMS or PeopleSoft... We have Silicon talented techs in our system, but their talents aren't recognized. [The CSU seems] to think that these people are not economically viable, that they need to bring in another whole group, they need to outsource all the work, or insource our people, whichever way they're planning on going...So when you say where is the future of this CSU, I really couldn't say, because there's nothing that we can do to stop progress, but I still think that peoples' needs should be looked at and measured before you just jump into something," Robinson said. What is PeopleSoft? According to Bill Welch, an independent PeopleSoft consultant, "a PeopleSoft project going way over budget happens about as often as a Catholic priest getting lucky." PeopleSoft is a computer software company that created a multi function software package that was meant to be 'all things to all people,' according to Welch. He said, "It is a very large system and has many components, depending on [why a company needs it]." The PeopleSoft programs for higher education use basically three products. The first is a Human Resources/ Payroll Financials package, which tracks income, expenses, and assets. The second is a Student Administration package that includes student financial inforSee PEOPLESOFT, page 5 Disorganization or Fraud? ASI Movie Night: A Disaster for Edwards Cinema Management Each Student's $50 Semester Fee for ASI Being Spent in Part on Questionable Activities By AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer On Nov. 21, ASI sponsored its first free movie night for students at Edwards Cinemas in San Marcos, the 9:45 p.m. showing of Eminem's film debut in 8 Mile. Students began to arrive at 6 p.m. and were shocked to find out that the theater personnel were unaware of the free ticket offer for CSUSM students on that evening. Problems in Planning and Organization San Marcos Edwards Cinema manager, David Landfield, was furious to find the entryway to the theater bombarded and blocked off by CSUSM students who were demanding free tickets. "This promotion was not authorized nor were we notified of this event," said Landfield. He further commented that for an event this size by an organization, it would be necessary for the organization (ASI) to rent the theater at a cost of $2,400. Worried students lined up outside the doors watching and listening to the cinema management complain about the situation. The students explained to theater management that they had learned of this free movie promotion through flyers and e-mail. Grace, an Edwards employee who was stationed at the door, pointed out the illegali- ties of the advertisement that ASI had produced. Theflyerfeatured not only a copyrighted film advertisement that was reprinted without permission, but the name of the cinema was printed without notification and permission as well. At 8:50 p.m., members of ASI and their programming board, who were hired to create community at CSUSM, arrived with over 100 group activity passes to purchase tickets at the box office. The tickets were bought at this time, and the programming board members who were buying the tickets were not even aware of the exact showtime. Furthermore, the flyers distributed at CSUSM said that only 50 tickets were going to be given out to CSUSM students, however this was not the case, as there were 100 tickets purchased. When questioned as to why the programming board members were purchasing the extra 50 tickets, they expressed concerns about riots breaking out if they denied entrance to anyone. Cinema management confronted ASI programming board members about the chaotic situation. Landfield informed ASI that he would not exercise the law and press charges against the university at this time, however he indicated that this type of event was never to occur again without permission of the theater. He further declared that the theater would be more than happy to accommodate future university-sponsored activities with proper notice and planning. ASI Programming Board Representative Brett Gladys defended their actions by saying that they had called the theater during the previous week and spoken with an employee, who had told them that there would be no problem with holding the event on the day and time requested. It was later determined that the employee was not a member of theater management and did not have the authority to permit the event, thus Gladys had been given incorrect information. Student Money for NonStudents While about 18 students said to have received aflyeror e-mail for the event, many admitted to being close friends of ASI members who had invited them to the showing. Many students who had attended in response toflyersor e-mails made comments regarding the huge amount of people who showed up with the ASI programming board members. Programming Board and ASI members began checking school IDs and handing out tickets around 8:55 p.m. to students, yet several students were seen going See ASI MOVIE, page 4 �News Update: CSUSM Staff Responds to Registration and Administration Troubles By JULIE MYRES & ALYSSA classes because they obtained FINKELSTEIN poor attendance in the past."

He said, "a basic foreign language class [was scheduled during] the first few weeks in ACD 102, a large lecture hall. At least a few classes are dangerously overcrowded; one even had a wheelchair-bound student. If you are in such an unsafe classroom, you should report it to Regina Frasca, Director of Risk Management and Safety." In light of this corrected information, there is a newfound concern among The Pride and many students regarding the decision-making of the use of these classrooms. CSUSM administrator response to statistics previously reported The Pride also heard from Richard Riehl, Executive Director of Enrollment Services. In an email sent to Staff Writer Julie Myres (the author of last week's article), Riehl said that, "Your article pointed out the challenges we face as a rapidly growing university." Riehl also pointed out a few Capacity Building / Room # ARTS 101 (VPA classes only) 60 200 ARTS 240 145 ACD 102 80* ACD 104 90* ACD 305 65 UH 100 56 UH 360 60 UH 370 66 UH 373 clarifications about the information printed last week. He said that, "Our enrollment this fall was 7,627, not "just fewer than 7,000," and he also clarified that SDSU is continuing to accepting applications for spring of 2003. The original information reported last week was based on various estimated numbers that were reported by members of the administration and the CSUSM website. The SDSU information was originally gathered from the Union Tribune, however an article published in the San Diego Union Tribune on Friday December 6,2002 also corrected the SDSU statistic. It also turns out that the FTES numbers were reported incorrectly. Riehl said that, "These numbers make no sense at all, although I think I know where you got them. The 5,066 was the actual FTES count for last spring. The 6,627 number was the headcount for last spring. We project this spring's FTES count to be 5,608, with a headcount of 7,337. That represents a decline from 5,810 FTES and 7,627 in the fall. We stopped taking admissions applications for spring earlier than ever in our history to attempt to bring enrollment down closer to our funding level." The information published earlier was gathered originally from a member of Usage 39% 36% 32% 40% 45% 40% 55% 53% 51% personnel at the College of Art and Sciences. Editor's Note: This article is definitely covering a controversial subject that has brought attention to students, faculty, and administration. Many of the quotes and statements made by lecturers and faculty members were granted with complete anonymity in the original article. One reason there were errors in actual numbers andfacts is due to the lack of information openly published for student use. The Pride found many sources of information that contradicted each other and did its best to get the correct information for the article. It is apparent that Pride staff writers are frequently given incorrect information by staff and faculty who do not realize the implications of the information they are distributing. This has happened several times during this semester when writers have approached sources for stories. Correct information could be more easily reporteddn the future if faculty and staff as well as students, try to remember that The Pride is also growing (alongside the university) albeit with only one journalism course and no program to support it.

The rule applies only to first-time freshman and to lower division transfer students with fewer than 60 units. On Thursday, Dec. 5 at 11:59 p.m., applications for these two prospective groups were closed, however applications from upper-division transfer students with 60 units or more and graduate students are still being accepted. ASI ment within our funding." Despite the closing of the admission process, Richard Reihl, executive director of enrollment services, said that CSUSM allowed a few extra days for students wanting to enroll in this university. "The deadline allowed for some flexibility for last-minute applicants," said Riehl, "The open enrollment period established by the California State University ended November 30, 2002. We've allowed a few extra days as a grace period for those whose applications might have been delayed for one reason or another, but we now must stop accepting applications because of our need to manage enroll- students due to the budget deficit. "Because of budget uncertainties, we can't predict how much longer undergraduate applications will be accepted from transfer students," expressed Riehl. According to Riehl, since Dec. 5 more than 4,300 applications had been received from potential freshman students. This equals the number of applications received from freshman for the entire 2002-2003 academic Because of the increasing popyear, and this time the applica- ularity of CSUSM, Riehl said, tions were accepted all the way "We recommend that students through July. file their applications materials as soon as possible."

He added, "To do that, we may have to slow down the number of new students entering the university until we have more resources available." Cal State San Marcos experienced a 17 percent increase in enrollment for the 2002-03 academic year, and it is currently struggling to balance its funding with its teaching and service obligations. Furthermore, with the prospect of reductions in state allocations for the 20032004 academic year, the campus has started to adopt a cautious approach to admissions, which might leave many prospective students out of the university.

He also added that in May of2000, the CSUSM President's Cabinet approved a 6-year project plan, which began during the fiscal year 2000/2001 (sometime between July 1, 2000 and June 30, 2001). Cal State San Marcos has chosen a phased implementation approach, meaning that, "as modules [of the program] are phased in, we are training our staff." According to Veres, all campuses of the CSU are aiming to "complete implementation of the [Human Resources], Finance, and Student modules of PeopleSoft by 2006. We are on schedule to meet that commitment." Contrary to CFA accusations that the CSU campuses are outsourcing talent, Veres has been an employee of CSUSM since 1992, and he says that all members of the CSUSM CMS/ PeopleSoft implementation team are employees of the university. However, he admitted that "we do contract with some consultants but only for very short periods of time - 1-3 days at a time - and only when we need help through some functional or technical detail." The CSUSM website has a link for the invoicing of PeopleSoft trainingathttp://cms.calstate.edu/ T4tiSanMarcos.asp, but it cannot be opened by anyone without a password. Employees are not issued passwords until they have completed the training required by the program. Needless to say, very few people on the CSUSM campus actually have access to this information. CSUSM Domestic Violence Loses Norm Event Brings Awareness to Campus Nicholson CSUSM sociology students educating other college student's about domestic violence and sexual assault By RIACUSTODIO Arts Editor Cal State San Marcos is hosting a Domestic Violence Informational Fair on Tuesday and Wednesday, Dec. 10-11. Staff from the Women's Recourse Center (WRC) of Oceanside and counselors will be on hand in Founders' Plaza from 9 a.m.3 p.m. to answer any questions regarding domestic violence and sexual assault.

Wednesday from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. in Academic Hall 404, panel discussions will focus on different issues, ranging from local services that are available to victims and their families to local law enforcement, detailing their involvement in domestic violence. CSUSM Professor Valerie Callanan of the sociology department expressed that Tuesday's panel will discuss informative issues dealing with criminal justice response to domestic violence. Topics discussed on Wednesday's panel will overview information dealing with local services for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.

By BRIAN FISHER Pride Staff Writer Dr. Norm Nicholson, dean of instructional and information technology services, spends his last weeks at CSUSM after nine years of campus technology achievements. Dr. Nicholson immigrated to America from Scotland at age 18. His constant interest in engineering got him jobs in aerospace technology. After his career in aerospace, his interests shifted to working for the Santa Ana School District as a teacher, and then moved to a community college. in California. CSUSM has even become the email service provider for the new Channel Islands campus. With over 2,000 computers networked together at CSUSM, wireless access and new computers, it has become one of the leading technology schools in Southern California. Norm says he is confident in his staff and believes the school will be in good hands. He explains, "I'm leaving the university in very good shape!' Nicholson described why he decided to leave CSUSM. "I've worked long enough. I've spent 9 years here, and a whole career of 30 some years before that in other places. I just decided now it's time I can afford to. Its time to find out if there's life after work! I've worked really hard almost all my life and I'd like to see what else there is. I'd like to spend more time playing golf and spending time with family." His interest in Cal State San Marcos sparked after he discovered that many older schools were shutting doors on innovative thinkers and ideas. Norm wanted a fresh start with people "who were willing to push the envelope of instructional technology."

However, Desjean's job is somewhat different than most. Desjean has a talent with the bass guitar and explores that talent with his band 'No Knife,' which can be heard if people listen to 92.1 or 91X fm. Their latest album, entitled "Riot for Romance," has had quit a bit of success, landing them their last tour with 'Jimmy Eat World' back in October. "No Knife's" latest tour with 'Jimmy Eat World' gave the band a chance to play some songs from their new album, and also gave Desjean a chance to not attend school for a few weeks. About the challenge of going on a tour and attending school at the same time, he said, "I was a parttime student at Palomar when we toured extensively. Now that I am at Cal State it's all about touring during the summer, or doing short runs here and there so I don't miss too much work. It can be a bit stressful, and sometimes I feel I could be doing a album. Last Halloween, Desjean left his class in a hurry to get down to the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach where all band members dressed up and played the Halloween party.

"Our next show is January 7th in Tokyo, if you can't make that one, we have another show when we get back on January 31st at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach," Desjean said about his next show.

He said that he does not want there to be war, but if there be one he would support America. "What happened last year was not right that day or any other day. Terrorists hurt your country, other countries and my home country. It is not an American war. It is the world's war against terrorists." Further east, in the mall of the town of Kelowna, people expressed feelings about the possible war that faces America. One person stood out in her answer, Bianca Hughes. Hughes said, "I am Canadian and proud, but if for some reason I had to say I was something else I would say an American. I mean we are like Americans but on the other side of the border. If America goes to war I hope they win. If the war comes to American soil then I hope that the Canadian army helps with whatever." In a town called Hope a women working the cashier at the highway gas station responded, " You Americans should bomb the terrorists, they should pay for what they did. I know someone who died in the twin towers." Even farther east, in the small town of Vernon, the last stop before heading back to Vancouver, Canadians were also very supportive of the Americans. They answered with passion as if their own country, was attacked. Heidi Lee, a 19-year-old nursing student, said, "When I saw the news and watched those planes crash my heart dropped. I was so sad when I could see people falling from the tops of the buildings. It is not fair, terrorists are cowardly people, there is no combat in terrorism." �Chimpanzees Progression in the World Ruben Science Fleet Center: J ane Goodwall's Wild Chimpanzees By STEVEN ZAMORA Opinion Editor through the film as the dominator of his companions, showing force in order to establish his Jane Goodwall's Wild Chim- rule over the group. panzees, an IMAX film featured at Ruben H.

Then she counterparts, and is depicted presents a couple of questions to the audience. One question that Goodwall makes is "why don't we consider chimpanzees human beings?" Another question is "what differences are there really between human beings and chimpanzees?" There is no doubt that chimpanzees walk on their hands as opposed to humans, showing a difference between the two. However, Goodwall points out that the differences among humans and chimps are minimal. In the past, the true distinguishing point between humans and chimps has been the notion that human beings can reason and pass down knowledge to their children—this assumption no longer exists in the realm of understanding. Goodwall discovered that chimpanzees have learned to make tools with which to hunt their prey, such as ants. This knowledge of hunting, chimpanzees have passed down from their mothers during the seven years where baby chimps need emotional and physical nurture from their parents, similar to children's development with their mothers. This reasoning and passage of knowledge therefore disqualifies the main assertion that chimpanzees cannot reason or teach baby chimps. With regard to whether people should consider chimpanzees a species of human beings, Goodwall stands firm in saying that chimps are closely related to, or even actually are, human beings. The research can be used to study the evolution of human beings, because the chimps may be the best example of how human beings in fact evolved from chimpanzees. gallery experience.

These organizations seek assistance from the student body, faculty and staff in the form of donations of toys, non-perishable food items, blankets and clothing. These three holiday drives and one fund raising campaign will all be held on campus and the specifics and contact information are listed in the paragraphs to follow. Angel Tree Toy Drive Circle K International, sponsored by the San Marcos Kiwanis, is an international student community service organization that helps to foster leadership skills and provide community services to children. For the 11th year this organization has sponsored the Angel Tree Toy Drive. With organizational help from the Black Student Union and the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, Circle K International plans to provide toys for local non-profit organizations. Organizers of the drive intend to make Christmas a little merrier for a San Marcos home for boys. This particular home was designed to house young men that have been aban- front of Craven 4107, Commons 207B and University Hall 400.

There was a huge Christmas celebration, and al) the children were giddy. Saturday, Dec. 7th, marked the 9th annual City of San Marcos' Christmas celebration, known as Santa's Magical Village, which lasted between 4:00 p.m. - 9: 00 p.m. at the San Marcos Civic Center. With the celebration geared toward younger children, who always seem to have a double dose, of the Christmas spirit, events were there to keep adults occupied as well. Those in attendance had the opportunity to view and purchase a variety of arts and crafts, all displayed by children dressed as elves and vendors throughout the village. holiday music. With no more than a few steps, crafts and venSanta's Magical Village had dors bombarded the hallways. been decorated inside and out, Crafts featured included a wide in order to bring the yearly variety of men's, women's, and Christmas feelings to life; even children's clothing and jewelry, the ample parking lot was filled as well as photography displays, with lights and a 35 f t Christmas Christmas decorations, and for tree, which was to be lit later those who missed dinner, foods in the evening. Upon entering ranging from burritos to hot dogs the village, all were greeted by and desserts were sold. Of course As the evening grew darker, a fire engine's bullhorn announced that it was time for the Christmas tree lighting. With everyone leaving the village in order to gather around the tree, positioned in a grassy park just shy of the parking lot, all awaited to see the spectacle. When the crowd was large enough, the firemen flipped the switch and the tree came to life with a mediocre display of a few strands of Christmas lights. Nonetheless, the children who were still energetic from all the caroling and sweets were thrilled at the tall tree. all items displayed were for sale carols.

Even as f un as the holidays are, playing games and seeing the same things can only take your breath away once, and making numerous trips through the crowded village could be very time consuming. All in all, the event was a success and the children seemed to enjoy the Christmas celebration.

However, it did not break the momentum of the play, which the spectators were able to perceive and comment. "It was wonderful, funny and very well organized. I did not know anything about this Mexican tradition, because I am from Guatemala, but I enjoyed it a lot," said Ana Gonzalez, who came with some other Palomar College students to see the play, The Visual and Performing Arts departments' Arts and Lectures series, in conjunction with the California Center for the Arts in Escondido (CCAE), showed from Thursday through Saturday its 2nd annual presentation of the play, La Pastorela. On Thursday and Friday the presentation took place at 8: 00 pm, on Saturday there were two performances at 2:00 and 8: 00 pm. Directed by Dora Arreola and adapted by Ursula Tania, this traditional Mexican performance is a religious story that was first introduced to Mexico in the sixteenth century to teach native people about Christianity. The central idea in this adaptation is that no matter how hard the devil and his wife Luciferina try to impede the shepherds from going to Bethlehem to adore the way it shows the temptations that child Jesus, the shepherds tri- Satan offers the good people who want to follow God's purposes. umph over evil.

Professor Marcos Martinez, Associate Professor of Theater from CSUSM was in charge of the stage production. Martinez invited the public in general to participate in the next year presentation, since they are planning to perform it every year. He also gave special thanks to the Bravo Foundation, the Escondido Swap Meet and the CECUT (Centro Cultural Tijuana/Tijuana Cultural Center) for their support. The play was worth the $10.00 cost per person. Well done and congratulations to all the artists and all the people that participated in the creation of this lovely, yet hilarious play! Can I Stay up to See Santa? By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride Staff Writer child question whether Santa is real or not? Is it that they did not like the presents they got the year before "Is Santa Clause real?" or is it that the stories of St. Nick have been so radically transformed This question has been asked to during the years that it is difficult to almost every parent at least once in believe in them anymore? his or her lifetime. Many parents are not ready to look straight into a The history about St. Nick dates child's face and tell them that Santa as far back as the fourth century, is not real. Yet who are parents to when a wealthy Christian bishop judge what is real and what is not made a name for himself by giving real? Many parents of today are too many gifts to poor children. A fter wrapped into working all the time his death, the Christian church that they don't rejoice and see the named Dec. 6 a day of remembrance world around them, let alone figure for the bishop. He then became known as Father Christmas and was out if a Santa really exists. from that point forever linked with In today's day and age, parents the holiday. Like his name, Santa have stopped believing in something Clause, his attire was not always in which they have believed for all the standard red and white suit that of their childhood. What makes a we know of today; it changed from story to story. Some stories had him wearing a purple or blue suit, and other stories called him an elf. In the 1930's, Coca Cola officially hired Santa Clause as one of their spokespersons. Coca Cola standardized Santa Clause as the Santa that we know today, sporting the traditional red and white company colors. Many of the stories that came about from this bishop were based on legends and mythical creatures. One legend, which is known, is that he carried around a bag-full of toys and rode on a flying sled that was pulled by reindeer. In 1822 Clemente Moore wrote a series of poems and named all the reindeer that pulled the sled. Although Rudolph was not one of the eight original reindeer that Moore described, he was the most popular. Rudolph was merely a byproduct of the advertising genius of Montgomery Wards, which was in turn created by Robert May. Advertising plays a major role in our life by shaping our beliefs and traditions. Many times it is hard to tell whether an event from the past really happened or not, because of the fact that second hand information can be twisted around so much. So next time when a child looks at you with their big brown eyes and asks you the question I asked in the beginning of the article, think about the ramifications it could have if a child does not have hope.

Porpoise pens and other porpoise memorabilia started showing up around the office but he didn't. His arrogant behavior was trying to cover up the fact he had poor writing skills and in the long run was fired. This is just one incident that shows how High School English is important. Not all jobs need college but in most jobs, reading and writing are needed. So here are the facts: US History of Literature I & II and English Literature I & II are required courses that have not been offered in the evening at all since I have been attending CSUSM. I can understand that there are not a lot of electives offered but it would really help if the required courses were offered in the evening. Not all of them, but a series offered on some sort of yearly rotating basis would be nice. teaching where my starting salary will be $36,000 since I can't really leave the San Diego area. That's $500 dollars more a month than I am making now, before taxes.

I have been attending CSUSM Starting my day at around 6:00am and ending it at around 9:00pm, as I walked across Palomar's parking lot, I found myself thinking on a regular basis, Long Day's Journey Into Night. It felt okay, though, because somehow I thought I would be rewarded, and I passed on all the weekend events that I was invited to because studying needed to be done. question. Plus, if you are attending classes in the evening, it's really hard to just stop off on your way in because evening traffic is tough and it's usually a sprint from the parking lot to get to class on time. Let's try some other departments. The Career and Assessment Center has the same hours asfinancialaid office. The parking permit office hours are 9:00-5:00, Monday through Thursday and closes early on Friday. Everything closes early on Friday, which makes me think: couldn't they stay open later one night to compensate for leaving at 2:00 or 3:00 on Friday? The Community Service Learning Center hours are also 8:00-5:00. Here is another really important department especially for me, the Writing Center; this also closes at 6: 00. I have never been there and my professors are concerned that I can't write a formal argumentative paper. Actually, I am concerned too, unfortunately I can't get any help! I feel that something's lacking regarding the importance relating to the power of the written word. That and evening students are not wanted at CSUSM. Of course, I really should have known exactly what I wanted to do when I was 20; I did but that Country Western singer thing didn't work out!

It was one of the hardest things I ever did in my life. When I was a smoker we were able to still smoke everywhere. I did. I didn't blow smoke in people's faces but I did smoke in buildings. I quit smoking while attending a junior college. Our college was putting into effect a smoke free campus. I was even on the committee. I fought hard for smoker's rights. One thing did come out of it, designated smoking areas. These areas were away from the people traffic, most of them were in parking areas. Smokers complained at first, but were great after a while. The only problem we were having was who was going to be the 'cops'. I know they have solved the problem by now though. But now for CSUSM, the smokers definitely need to get away from the doors and hall ways. The smoke is quite disturbing. I also hold by breath when walking by these students. I am an asthmatic and the smoke does irritate my lungs. BUT, CSUSM needs to put the ashtrays away from the buildings. They need to be in open areas. When it rains, we all have umbrellas. To smokers: Please stay away from the buildings and the enclosed walkways. Smoke in open areas and try to quit. It will save your life. I watched my mother and her husband die because of smoking and it was a very ugly sight. I was not ready to quit at the time but it wasn't much longer before I did. Our campus has many resources when you are ready to quit. Dorothy Bruno Senior-LTWR The Smoke i nthe Air Forget about finals, midterms, papers, or cramming for surprise quizzes; my biggest struggle is breathing. Every morning I struggle to make it up the numerous flights of stairs leading to the campus, only to face the clouds of cigarette smoke that hang in the air morning, noon, and night. Which is why I was so pleased to see Steven Zamora's article "Cigarette Smoking: A School Problem" in the last issue of the Pride. This article addressed the problem... I feel that I must strenuously address the problem of smoking on campus. Aside from the issi^e of second hand smoke which I do feel is a pressing concern, the issue of students with respiratory problems (myself included) are at risk to dangerous toxins that have severe negative effects. in order to get a small amount of oxygen into my lungs.

You are shutting out parents who have been heavily involved in volunteering their time and making donations to the school. Do you realize that the tuition increase for non-funded community parents who have their children in three days a week part-time will be from $216 a month to $640 a month? And even if a family could afford it, not everyone wants their children in preschool full-time. A large number of children at the ELC attend two or three days a week, half day. The availability of this schedule is part of the reason the ELC is such a terrific program. Many parents use the ELC as a quality preschool experience for their children, not as a full-time day care setting. What is disturbing is that these changes were made without soliciting any input from the non-funded families. We were not invited to the grant meeting where the reasons for the ELC dropping the CDE Preschool Grant were discussed. These changes came as a total shock to many, and it is upsetting to think that our children may not be able to finish out their The ELC is, hands-down, the best preschool last semester at the ELC. program in North County.

Dozens of public places have adopted policies where they have designated certain areas as smoking zones, and have left others as smoke free areas; couldn't Cal State San Marcos do the same? Thanks, Alison Sayer Freshmen La Pastorela According to Rick Moore's latest "In the Loop" electronic campus news wire, he states that our publicly funded university is going to play host to Pastorela: a traditional Mexican holiday. This original Spanish production brings together Cal State San Marcos students and community members in a festive presentation of a traditional Mexican nativity story. I have a hard time understanding why and how this religious "production" that has its roots in Christianity, can actually be allowed to be presented on campus. Is it because its organizers thought that it is harmless? A fter all, aren't they just "getting in the spirit of Christmas?" Doesn't this _ production promote a religious myth that without publicly funded facilities, would hopefully be relegated or limited to being shown in a church rather than the academy??

The preschool has run into fiscal difficulty, and as a result, drastic changes in the childrens' class schedules are being implemented next semester. I am forwarding you a copy of a petition that I am currently circulating at the preschool, protesting these changes. I will be delivering the petition to Keith Speers, Executive Director of ASI, at 10 am on December 12. While the majority of students at CSUSM are not parents, these changes at the preschool are of major concern to the students and staff members who are. Starting March 1, all student parents will be required to have their children The result of these changes is that the preschool will become inaccessible to most parents due to scheduling and monetary constraints. It undoubtedly will spell the end of the program in the long run, which will mean student parents will not have a campus preschool option for their children. This issue may be a deciding factor of where to attend school for many student parents. I wanted to share the information with you. Thank you for your time and attention.

Students also gave the campus high marks for both collabora­ tive learning and felt that their time at CSUSM was an enrich­ ing educational experience. Results showed that in rating the level of academic challenge at CSUSM, seniors scored in the 90th percentile, while fresh­ men answering the same ques­ tion scored in the 80thpercentile. Translating these scores means that seniors feel more challenged than at least 9 out of 10 seniors nationwide and freshmen feel more challenged than at least 8 out of 10 freshmen nationwide. Almost 90 percent of CSUSM students rated their col­ lege education as “good” or “excellent” - a number above the national average of 87 per­ cent. Conversely, both CSUSM freshmen and seniors gave the campus low marks for its campus environment and student interac­ tion with faculty members, with freshmen ranking in the 45thper­ centile and seniors in the 10th percentile on the question of student-faculty interaction.

Company, spoke with students during the “ the Executive Seat series. ” In (Pride Photo/Melanie Addington) By MELANIE ADDINGTON Pride Editor Dr. Gene W. Ray, CEO of the Titan Company, whose laser is nuking anthrax in post offic­ es, gave Cal State San Marcos students advice on job hunting Friday. * Ray told students that when he hires new employees, he looks for those with “the right motivation, attitude, education, and smarts, but first of all, they must have a philosophy of work­ ing as a team.” Ray was the guest speaker at the inaugural event of the series “In the Executive Seat,” created by the College of Business and Arts Administration. The host, Ted Owen, publisher of the San Diego Business Journal, dis­ cussed a range of topics with the guest. The talk wa$ patterned after the “In the Actors Studio” show. The crowd of about 40 stu­ dents,staff and faculty listened as Ray and Owen discussed Ray’s educational beginnings and his first jobs. Ray said that the key to finding .a job after graduation is to learn as much as possible. “Get a good gener­ al education because the world changes and what is hot now, will not be in five years,” he said. Ray established the Titan Company in 1981, but before that he worked several jobs across the country. After graduation, he worked for Aerospace in San Bernardino. The company advises the air force on how to build satellites andmissiles. Later, he worked for the Pentagon in Washington D.C. where he worked with “things like B-52’s. I did a study on the possibility of using them in Vietnam,” said Ray. The B-52 was used in Vietnam and is used today in Afghanistan. »A rticle cont. on pg. 3 Foundation Building Update By AMY GRANITE Pride Staff Writer Students attending class, in the temporary trailers said they expected their stay to be a short one, but repairs from the July blasting accident that struck the Foundation building (FCB) are still incomplete as the semester comes to an end. “The classrooms are actu­ ally ready to be occupied, but outside damages that are in the process of being repaired would be too disruptive to students and professors during finals week,” said Chuck Walden, director of the facilities. According to Walden, dam­ ages would have been repaired on time, but there were delays on quotes from the steel contractors were supposed to complete the building repairs. These delayed quotes pushed back repairs that were supposed to take place on the building’s canopies and roofs. Walden assured that the buildings would be reopened for spring semester classes. Some students and professors said they were disappointed that their intended short stay in temporary buildings has lasted the entire semester. “We adjusted and made due with what happened, but it would have been nice to move into a real classroom,” said Maureen DuPont, a math professor. “Our only salvation was that our classes kept getting smaller and smaller so the temporary class became more spacious as time passed. There was a point though, during exam time, where if one more person would have showed up, they wouldn’t have had a seat.” Temporary trailers have remained all semester behind FCB. (Pride Photo/) �AIDS Memorial Quilt Brings Awareness to Campus By MARTHA SARABIA Pride Staff Writer Student Health Services pro­ moted AIDS awareness on cam­ pus by providing free HIV test­ ing, giving out free condoms and showing the AIDS Memorial Quilt on Monday Dec. 3rd, from 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. “I think it’s very important for people to know that HIV is out there, but people are some­ times not conscious about that. It’s a deadly disease,” said Cathy Nguyen, a*health educator from Student Health Services. Although World AIDS Day is on Dec. 1st, which was on a Saturday, it was not promoted on campus until Monday in order to reach more students, according to Nguyen. “When AIDS first started, I never thought it would get this bad, never. It’s so very sad. There is no excuse for people to be dying for this now, we know. Maybe when they see this, they’ll use protection,” said Judie Hathaway, a senior majoring in Literature and Writing Studies. Friends and family of people who lost their battle against the autoimmune disease make per­ sonalized quilt squares and send their sections to the NAMES Project Foundation, an organiza­ tion which creates quilts made from each section received. “Through these type of memorials, they (the victims) live on forever. They are not forgotten,” Nguyen added. “I think the quilt is pretty awesome. It’s amazing because your see iso many different lives and this shows that anybody can get affected and not only people that are stereotyped, such as drug users and homosexuals,” said Jason Gwazdacz, senior and Human Development major. “I think the quilt is really meaningful because students don’t remember or think about it [HIV/AIDS] until they see it although some people remember it now, then they forget it again. I think it’s good to havethe quilt here because it makes people more aware and just to think about it and take more precau­ tions to prevent it,” said Kiefa Class Holds Mock Science Exposition to Encourage Scientific Exploration * an elementary-school level.

In T h e L o o p By CONSTANCE CHUA Pride Staff Writer Communication within Cal State San Marcos is increasing, as students now receive a new e-mail service called “In the Loop.” Every Friday students receive In the Loop, which con­ tains information about uni­ versity and student organized events and fundraisers. Student organizations and university offices submit this information that will be sent to all student e-mail accounts. In The Loop began Nov. 30 and was the idea of Rick Moore, director of university communications. “We had a number of requests that we send information to students by email,” said Moore. “This is quite cumbersome for the folks who maintain the computing equipment, and my •thought was to reduce the num­ ber of messages by combining them into a weekly grouping. That way messages could still be sent, but in a workable way.” Environment Club Teaches Students Recycling »A rticle cont. from pg. 1 Conservancy, another national environmental organi­ zation. Locally, the groups are known for administering the Calavera Preserve and fighting suburban sprawl. Harrington said, “ . . . (we) had a lot of stu­ dents come by and show interest in what we’re doing. Some even signed up and agreed to volun­ teer to help us out.” Another group at the fair, Preserve Calavera, represented by Diane Nygarrd, president, and Lori Homstad, public relations officer, is an organization work­ ing to save some of Carlsbad’s open spaces on Mt. Calavera. According to the group, the open space on Mt. Calavera shelters the last of two remaining large con­ tiguous native habitats in coastal north county. They added that the city of Carlsbad proposes a development of 700 new homes, 22 industrial sites, a high school, and four high­ ways, which will take up about 60 percent of what others want to make into a regional nature pre­ serve. Nygarrd and Homstad said they’re not against development, but they want to advocate responsible development. They decried the fact that some of this area is already protected, yet the protections are not enforced. For further information check www.preservecalavera.org. The Friends of Cerro de las Posas, a group vying to save the ridgeline in San Marcos, also attended the fair. A developer is proposing to build a 150-acre golf course on the ridgeline south of Discovery Lake and east of Lake San Marcos. The Friends said they are not against golf courses, but feel this location is inap­ propriate. Right now anyone can hike or bike to the top of the nat­ ural ridgeline and enjoy the beau­ tiful view. The Friends believe the golf course would take away public accessibility to the ridge­ line. For further information check FriendsofCerro@aol.com. . The San Elijo Lagoon Con­ servancy, a group dedicated to preserving The San Elijo Lagoon, was also in attendance. Lois James represented the group and attempted to bring awareness about the importance of the lagoon, which is located in the wetlands between Solana Beach and Cardiff. She explained how the conservancy not only main­ tains the lagoon, but provides free educational programs in the community for school chil­ dren, scouts, and the general public. For further information call (760) 436-3944 or check www.sanelijo.org. Cal State San Marcos’s Envi­ ronmental Club, in addition to sponsoring the event, also set up a booth. The club’s main focus at the event was to educate students about the benefits of recycling. “I know I should recycle more and why I should, but sometimes I get lazy and I don’t/’ said senior Christian Palmatier. “I’m just glad there’s groups like these guys who come out here and remind us about these things because more people should recy­ cle.’’ With a display designed by student Jocelyn Brown entitled, “come see what’s in our trash,” students were guided to sift through a run-of-the-mill waste­ basket to learn the benefits of recycling. Palmatier reached in the wastebasket and pulled out a glass bottle; a club represen­ tative then explained that recy­ cling one glass bottle could power a 100-watt light bulb for four hours. “We’ve been getting a lot of An environmental representative at thefair shows students a map of a proposed development site. (Pride Photo/Claudia Ignacio) positive feedback today from students, faculty, and staff,” said Amanda Wolfe, Environmental Club president. “Most everyone who’s bothered to check out the fair has been really supportive. We ve also been getting a lot of folks signing our contact list and saying they wish we’d do this type of stuff on campus more often.” When asked why the Envi­ ronmental Club had brought this event to Cal State San Marcos, and what they hoped to accom­ plish Woolfe replied, “Basically, we wanted to increase student awareness about environmental issues, specifically local environ­ mental issues, and hopefully get some students interested in get­ ting involved with some of these issues ... “ “I think it’s safe to say that most students are sympathetic to the concerns of environmental­ ists; but at the same time, I think most people in general see the problem of tackling the environmental issues of our planet as somehow too much for them to deal with, and so invariably they just throw their hands in the air and do nothing. That’s why, instead of bringing a bunch of really big “name brand” environ­ mental groups (with the exception of the Sierra Club), we wanted to bring in and spotlight the efforts of local environmental groups because they’re real people who are making a difference, right here in our own backyard.” �AUTHOR FINDS HOPE AND HYPOCRISY IN AMERICA Go Take a Hike...During Winter Break By CHRIS ING Pride Staff Writer By MARY SUE WEBB Pride Staff Writer Sherman Alexie brought a message of hope for those who see the September 11 tragedies as a dismal foretelling of America’s future. “We spend our whole lives trying to fit in, trying to find the place where we belong. If the attacks can teach us anything, it is that we do belong, we are connected, and we are here,” said the outspoken Native American author, poet and playwright in front of packed house at UCSD’s Price Theater Thursday. Alexie, author of the novels Reservation Blues and Indian Killer, three collections of poetry, as well as the screenplay for the film Smoke Signals, touched on a variety of topics during his two-hour monologue, ranging from his experiences as an Indian and his love of the arts, to vegetarianism and the hypoc­ risy of American culture. Although his works often reflect the anger of the dis­ enfranchised, Alexie spoke with humor and openness. Animated and forthright, he tackled topics most politicians take great rhetorical pains to avoid. “Imagine an image of Christ on the cross being paraded along the sidelines of a football game with scantily clad cheer­ leaders shouting ‘Go Christ, Go Christ, crucify them! ’ Most people would be horrified — and well they should be. But the same thing is being done to our religion,” said Alexie, talking about the disgraceful misuse of sacred Indian religious symbols as sporting mascots. He noted that such indifference by many Americans allows a hypocriti­ cal compartmentalization of another cul­ ture: “We can pick and choose the parts of the culture we like and disregard the rest. It’s hypocrisy, pure and simple.” When asked how he felt about Need some adventure during winter break? Well, adventure may be closer than you think if you take a winter hike near campus. At the 750-acre Elfin Forest Reserve south of San Marcos, and the 3,085-acre Daley Ranch in Escondido, a bobcat, coyote, or a golden eagle might cross your path in these protected habitats. Daley Ranch has more than 20 miles of trails beginning at the parking lot of the La Honda Drive entrance of Escondido’s Dixon Lake. Huge boulders are home to many animals at the ranch. “The outcrops provide denning sites for coyote, bobcat and ringtail. Mountain lions have been seen among the rocks on occasion,” according to the Daley Ranch trail guide. Raptor species of birds and the south­ ern Pacific, as well as red diamond and speckled rattlesnakes live in the boulders. Endangered species, such as the horned lizard and the California gnatcatcher, also live on the Daley Ranch. Another endan­ gered species protected at the ranch is the rare oak woodland. 0 “Widespread development has greatly reduced the number of oak woodlands,” according to the trail guide. “Englemann oak woodlands, once relatively widespread and abundant, are now one of the most endangered natural communities.” Visitors may also find oaks on the 10 miles of trails at the Elfin Forest Reserve* and near Escondido Creek, along Harmony Sherman Alexie, screenwriter of Smoke Sig­ nals, spoke at UCSD Thursday evening. (Courtesy Photo/Rex Rystedt) the war on Afghanistan, Alexie responded that he agreed the terrorists should be punished but that, he “wasn’t going to join anyone’s army. If a thief breaks into my house, I’m not going to help him carry my stuff out,” He said it would be “too hypocritical to talk about other people’s hatred when we can’t even address our own.” Alexie also noted that he had been subjected to ‘random searches’ on six­ teen of his last twenty flights since September 11. Although well aware that his speech­ es are often contentious and controver­ sial, Alexie said, “I can’t control peoples’ reaction to what I say. And that is what is great: your politics, your culture, and your philosophy all fit into your reaction to what I say. That is what makes the arts so wonderful.” When a frustrated audience member made a noisy exit midway through Alexie’s talk, shouting out “fuck you,” Alexie was nonplussed. Moments later he said: “This is what is great about this country. Think about how many countries would not even allow this type of gathering. But here I can say what I want and you can say what you want. Even if it’s fuck you.” to eliminate traces of anthrax from the mail. “We met with the U.S. Postal Service, told them what we had, and in one week we had a contract,” said Ray. “That’s faster than the mail,” added Owen. “We knew all along that we could stop anthrax,” said Ray. “However, anthrax spores are the most difficult bacteria to kill.” SureBeam is a flow of electrons that run through an accelerator at high speeds. This beam of energy is aimed at packages. As the beam runs through the package, it neutralizes, or kills, bacteria. “It looks like a large log and a beam comes out of it,” said Ray. Bryce Ashcraft, a business major, asked Ray at the end of the show, “Did you learn more in academia or in the working field, what are the percent­ ages?” “The most important thing you learn in academia is the ability to reason, the ability to think and how to communicate both written and verbally,” said Ray. “Ninety-nine percent [of what I learned] was in the working field, one-percent academic environment,” Ray joked.

He helped create military, mostly air force, communications, until he broke away to establish Titan. Ray became chairman of the board of Titan in 1989. Today, his company makes $1.1 billion in revenue, and shares of the company have continually been 65 percent higher than before Sept. 11, said Ray. According to an article in the North County Times, shares closed on Friday at $27.08, compared to $13.20 earlier in the year. Yet Ray remains modest about his efforts. “With hard work and a lot of luck you can really accomplish what you want to in this country,” he said. As he did with previous jobs, Ray is supporting the war effort. “This year, hun­ dreds of our employees are making con­ tributions to Afghanistan and the global war,” said Ray. Not only are employees going overseas to help weapon and com­ munication repairs, but his company is supporting the war at home. SureBeam, a Titan subsidiary, is working with the U.S. Postal Service Grove Road.

Tony Scott directed this climac­ tic thriller, which stars Robert Redford and Brad Pitt. Tony Scott, who also directed “Crimson Tide” and “Top Gun,” once again shows his worth as a director in “Spy Game,” in which he combines great acting with totally believ­ able situations. Redford plays CIA veteran Nathan Muir, one day away from his retirement from the agency he works for. Everything seems as usual on his last day of work, until he gets called in to an emer­ gency meeting for an unexpected event that has taken place on the other side of the world. The U.S. was about to sign an accord with China, when Tom Bishop (Pitt), a young CIA agent, gets himself into life-threatening trouble with the Chinese gov­ ernment. Muir’s bosses, howev­ er, are not enthusiastic about sav­ ing Bishop’s life. There is a lot at stake in the accord between the two super powers. Money, microchips, and free trade are up for grabs, and any publicity about Bishop’s capture in a Chinese top-security prison could foil the deal. It turns out that Muir is Bishop’s mentor. Muir tries to come up with a plan to save Bishop from a torturous death -£f but he only has 24 hours. In one scene, we find Muir using his intellect and his CIAoperative training against the CIA bureaucrats them­ selves, to discover why the agency is so quick to sacrifice Bishop. Although it may seem that this storyline is somewhat over­ used, the film provides a refresh­ ing view because it deals more with the intellectual aspect of carrying out a mission. As one may ascertain from the movie’s title, “Spy Game” deals with just that playing the game, eVen against those whom you learned it from. The story includes flashbacks of the men’s covert operations in Vietnam in the 70s, and Beirut in the 80s. The flashbacks, which are told from Muir’s perspective, are nicely done, and give us enough information to keep us interested in Muir and Bishop as characters. We’re also offered just enough insight into their strenu­ ous relationship, which remains intact due to their fierce loyalty to their job, and to one another. Redford, whose starred in spy thrillers like “Three Days of the Condor,” played a very convinc­ ing and cool role in the film. What more can I say about Pitt, who looks as sharp as ever, until the prison guards beat him to a bloody mess (sorry ladies). Perhaps this is Pitt’s motive for agreeing to this role, considering that he tends to shy away from being viewed as a sex symbol and is constantly taking roles where he is physically marred (“Fight Club” and “Snatch”). Catherine McCormack’s character is not introduced in the film until half­ way through the movie. She has a dual role, playing a British aid worker and Pitt’s love interest. Although she has a small role in the film, it is nonetheless one of the most pivotal because, in a sense, most of the conflict in the story is directly or indirectly affected by her. The movie also includes Larry Bryggman (“Die Hard with a Vengeance”), who plays a nasty, two-faced, arrogant CIA bureau­ crat. Marianne .Jean-Baptiste (“The Cell”, “28 Days”) plays Muir’s loyal secretary, who will do anything to stir up some much-needed action in her seem­ ingly boring job. Moviegoers who can appreciate good acting and amazing cinematography will be extremely satisfied by what this movie has to offer. With enough action-packed scenes to make Arnold Schwarzenegger blush, “Spy Games” will undoubtedly become a classic among spy thrillers. The film, with a running time of 127 minutes, is rated R for lan­ guage, some violence and sexual­ ity. REVIEW New York Sidewalks on Screen By ANN BENING Pride Staff Writer Sunday”), Heather Graham {“ From Hell”), and Stanley Tucciif Americas Sweethearts” ). Sidewalks of New York is a romantic comedy involving seven Manhattanites trying to find their way through the ups and downs of dating, marriage, and all that falls in between. If you want to dive in to the sad state of “dating” in 2001, this is the film for you. Married, separated, frustrated or search­ ing —somehow, we can all relate to “Sidewalks of New York.” Although this may sound depressing, the film has a way of pulling you into the garbage and you find yourself rooting for their happiness and minding their dating survival tips. The film stars including Edward Burns ( “ Any Given Written and directed by Edward Bums {“The Brothers M cMullen” and “She's the One”), Sidewalks, which was filmed in Manhattan, has a Woody Allen-ish air to it. The man-on-the-street inter­ views give thei audience a peek into the sex and dating lives of these interesting characters. Sidewalks was filmed in 17 days and has a slightly annoy­ ing documentary quality to it. One of the drawbacks of this film is how the camera dizzily lunges back and forth between the actors’ faces. The film is rated R for sex­ ual content and lanuguage, and has a running time of one hour. Doha Criba: Annex Packed for Student Production By J. RYAN SANDAHL For The Pride This is the time of year when motion pictures are most meaningful. That is to say, they actually make a statement about something important In the case of “Life as a House,” the state­ ment is that life is short, life is precious, and for some, life sucks. But with a little help from a loved one, life can be wonder­ ful. Kevin Kline (“A Fish Called Wanda”) is George Monroe, a model builder bored with his job and tired of his life. He lives alone in a very run-down old house that he has long since dreamed of tearing down to build his dream house. One day, his boss decides that 20 years is far too long for George to have worked the same job, so he fires him. Upset, George storms out of there and passes out, right on the concrete. He wakes up in a hospital and we find out he llr M m » H La m ; Hayden Christsen stars as Sam in Life as a House. (Couresy PhotoAMDB.com) has about four months to live. George is transformed after the news of his eminent death. Meanwhile, his ex-wife Robin, played by Kristin Scott Thomas (“Random Hearts”), remarries a man who is too busy for his family and two young children. Her teenage son Sam, played by Hayden Christensen ( Star Wars: Episodes II and III ), is a gothic, ajigry, and emotionally distraught teenager, The audience truly feels for Christensen’s character, as well as Kline’s. Their performance is marvelous. Christensen deliv­ ers a very convincing role of a drugged-out teenager, wasting his life away, but is marvelously transformed by his father’s words of wisdom. Their relationship carries most of the film, and the two characters change over the course of the summer. Irwin Winkler (“At First Sight” and “The Net”) directs the film with skill and subtlety that sweeps the audience away with the film’s raw, human emo­ tion. We truly care for this fam­ ily as we watch it come together through the power o f love and the ties that bind, in the spirit of “American Beauty”, “Life as a House” is sure to be a Best Picture nominee this year. “Life as a House” is two hours and rated R by the MPAA for language, drug use, and sexual situations.

Having never read J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic trilogy The Lord o f the Rings (I’ve only read the prelude novel, The Hobbit), I was concerned that I might not understand the characters and mythology integral to the story. But instead, I was pleasantly surprised at not only understand­ ing Tolkien’s world onscreen, but falling madly in love with it. The first attempt to turn Tolkien’s novel into film, in 1978, was an animated failure, but it may have been the attempt to animate, rather than using com­ pelling actors and dynamic spe­ cial effects, that was its down­ fall. However, the second attempt, which is based only on the first novel, The Fellowship o f the Ring, opens Dec. 19 and should prove itself an epic suc­ cess. From the first line, “The world is changed,” hauntingly narrated by Cate Blanchett, the audience will find itself com­ pelled to keep watching. All three novels are encom­ passed in one large epic film; however, audiences will have to wait for parts two and three until 2002 and 2003. “I wanted to take all the great moments from the books and use modern technology to give audiences nights at the mov­ ies unlike anything they’ve expe­ rienced before,” said film direc­ tor, writer and producer Peter Jackson. True to his word, Jackson keeps Tolkien’s literary language, and, rather than allowing the film editor to cut to an image of a scene, Jackson provides elaborate dialogue to describe offcamera scenes. “Tolkien writes in a way that makes everything come alive, and we wanted to set that realis­ tic feeling of an ancient worldcome-to-life right away with the first film, then continue to build it as the story unravels. We constantly referred to the book, not just in writing the screenplay, but also throughout the produc­ tion. Every time we shot a scene, I re-read that part of the book right before, as did the cast,” said Frodo seeks a moment of peace in the safe harbors in the land of the elves.

Editors Melanie Addington and Victoria Segall will move on after three years of involve­ ment with the student newspaper. The Pride welcomes two new lead editors for the spring semester, Claudia Ignacio and James Newell. We are very excited for the new vision they will bring to the student newspaper. As editors and as students, we have had our ups and downs these past few years, but we will leave the newspaper with great memories. Two years ago, after only our first year ofjournalism, Professor Madeleine Marshall, Pride adviser, took a chance with two quiet girls and helped turn them into campus leaders. For that, we are both grateful. Thank you. As a campus, you students have embraced the changes we have made in the paper, like the new layout, our continuing struggle with the online edi­ tion^ student comic strips (that we hope to continue), controversial columns, editori­ als, and a colorful literary supplement. As student writers, we continued to push ourselves to better our writing, and as editors we pushed ourselves to cover important news for students. However, some things have remained. The students. You have been proactive as newsreaders, and we encourage you to continue. The student newspaper is one of the few places where students can express their voices to the administration, faculty, and other students. Value it. Our opinion pages continue to be the most exciting pages because of what you have brought to them. Thank you. As students, we have had opportuni­ ties to attend diverse, enriching campus events. Many clubs and ASI continue to struggle with oursrimewhat tediously apa­ thetic campus and try to create an exciting campus life for us. We hope that The Pride continues to cover their contributions and that more students begin to appreciate their efforts. Student leaders, thank you. Our professors have helped us build a strong foundation for our writing with their teaching and advising. They’ve helped us questions ourselves and others (a useful tool for writers), taught us grammar tips (we are trying to avoid writing in passive voice), and given us other valuable lessons both inside and outside the classroom. Now we feel more confident expressing ourselves as writers to not only the univer­ sity, but those outside of it. Thank you. Administrators of this campus have been both open and encouraging to The Pride. Although we were not always well- liked because of our reporting and uncov­ ering of news, good and bad, the school has continued to support student voice. The College of Arts and Sciences, as a whole, has been tremendously helpful. Our hope is that in the future, students, faculty and administrators from the College of Business Administration, Education, and the future colleges, will participate more and help represent the variety of student ED ITO R IA L There are also administrators who have helped push the paper forward and supported the newspaper for several years, including Cheryl LeGras of College Suc­ cess Services. Thank you. We hope you all will join us in provid­ ing the new editors with the same support you have given us over the past two years.

Student To Indoctrinated Comrades LETTER �Bodyboarders Are Dedicated to Their Sport, Too Tae Kwon Do Another Cougar Sport By DUSTIN NAYLOR Pride Staff Writer Physical education is more than just cross country and golf at Cal State San Marcos. The P.E. class, Tae Kwon Do (PE 210), brings martial arts to stu­ dents. The course, taught by instructors Grand Master Chun and Frank Pulsdrac, combines the intense art form of Tae Kwon Do with group discus­ sions. Every Friday morning, about 30 students come to class (located a few blocks from the school), ready to practice low blocks, sidekicks and even an Occasional chop to the neck. Grand Master Chun prac­ tices the Ji Do Kwon method of Tae Kwon Do. Ji Do Kwon, which means the “association for knowledge ” or “way of knowl­ edge association,” fuses funda­ mental training philosophies in patience, love, patriotism, and respect for oneself and others. Students engage in meth­ odology involving leadership, self-development, goal setting and personal achievement, while working to achieve correct stance, technique and form through rigorous, but enlighten­ ing, aerobic workouts. Chun said he understands that students are busy with their studies and work, but insists that individuals maintain a “balance of physical and mental training achieved through Tae Kwon Do.” The class is a 3-unit academic course listed as PE 210-Tae Kwon Do. “I was looking for elective units to graduate when I found out about the course,” said stu­ dent and white belt Justin Stough. “My friends and I have a good time learning self defense togeth- Shawn Harris For The Pride Ian Quinn, a student and Tae Kwon Do brown belt, said, “Working with Grand Master Chun is great. He recognized I had prior experience in other forms of martial arts, and influ­ enced me to increase commu­ nication and skill development with other students. I also learn a lot about self-realization and strategic goal planning through the lectures in the beginning of class/’ Chun said that university support is excellent. “Cal State San Marcos has sponsored our program for six years now. We have over 100 students from the university who continually train and practice and hope to gain more.” Chun, a senior Ji Kwon Do Grand Master, began his train­ ing more than 50 years ago in Korea, where he trained with the founders of the Ji Do Kwon. After the Korean War, Chun was selected to serve as bodyguard for the Korean Prime Minister. He later became chief instructor of the Seoul National Police Force and aided the Korean CIA in teaching Ho Shin Sul (self defense). When he moved to New York City in 1969, Chun trained with Richard Chun and black belts/actors Joe Hayes and Gregory Hines. He worked with the New York City Ballet, combining ballet move­ ments arid Tae Kwon Do as an “art.” In 1976, £Jiun began spon­ soring the All-American Open Championships, which began in Youngstown and Cleveland, Ohio, and then he moved to San Marcos in 1987 to introduce the All-American Open to the West Coast. Chun said he believed “the traditional martial arts is eternal - a good studio will develop a consistent program balancing the physical with the mental.” Tae Kwon Do, which means the “way of the foot and the fist,” first originated during the early history of the Korean Peninsula. The Koguryo, Paekje and Silla were kingdoms that, around 57 B.C., used Tae Kwon Do as one of the principal subjects in physical training. The mar­ tial art form survived many generations, continuing through the Chosen Dynasty (1392-1910), and remained prominent after the masters secretly handed down the art after the liberation of Japan in 1945. I’ve got some news for Southern California: Bodyboarders are just as dedi­ cated to their sport as surfers. True, the majority does not take it as seriously, but bodyboarders have just as much fun. And for those who don’t know, not all bodyboards are made by Morey Boogie. So please don’t say that you are going “boogie board­ ing” unless you own an actual Bpogi-brand bodyboard. Bodyboards have come a long way from the flimsy early models. Back in the early 80s when I started, the hot board was a Morey Red Edge bodyboard. Compared to today’s boards, it was similar to the rudimen­ tary plane that the Wright broth­ ers first flew. Now, most body­ boards have a slick bottom and can come in a variety of shapes and colors. You can purchase a board with stringers on the inside to make the board stiffer and fast­ er, or you can get one made with different types of foam for different temperature waters, because you can find body­ boarders at all four corners of the planet. At 30 years old, I thought I would have given it up by now, but strangely, I find it as fun as when I was 13 and playing in the shorebreak. After all these years, I can now say that I shred. I grew up on the Central Coast up north where you have everything from hungry sharks to cows and deer on the cliffs watching you as you drop into big cold tubes. These waves broke over rocky reefs and burnt-out old surfers, with their solid black wetsuits, who rode surfboards from the 1970s. Sometimes it got so cold that the sand would be frozen and would crunch as you walked over it. I know the coastline between Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties like the back of my hand. With bodyboarding, you have a few options on how you ride the board. You can lie down on it in a prone position, or you can ride it in a “drop-knee” position, which requires that you hop up on the board as quickly as possible during the takeoff and put one leg up, and one beneath you. This is the way I prefer to ride. It feels faster and you dan pull many of the maneuvers that a surfer does. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have “surfing envy,” it is just that in this position you are more upright than when you are prone. During the past 17 years I have learned how to surf and have also picked up a nice 8’ thruster that I take out when the waves are flat. Down here in Southern California, we have a veritable cornucopia of waves. This winter looks pretty promis­ ing as far as waves go, and there is a vibe in the air that all men and women of the water have. This vibe is saying to us, “You’d better wax up you boards good and be ready. When I come screaming down the coast, from the Pacific North, I am going to give you all the ride of your life.” To this vibe I answer, “We are ready and we are pumped.” J e ff C udm ore: L acrosse Team Player By CONSTANCE CHUA Pride Staff Writer Little by little, students at Cal State San Marcos are work­ ing 16 improve student life on campus; one of those students is Jeff Cudmore, ASI Programming Recreation Technician Assistant, and co-captain of the lacrosse team, Cudmore, who is heavily involved in intramural sports on campus, is putting together an intramural basketball team for next semester. The spring semester will fea­ ture the first games of ASI’s intramural lacrosse team, which Cudmore has co-captained since March, along with Cory Barnhart and Adam Gattuso. The team has 17 players, and a few of them have previous lacrosse-playing experience from high school, as well as experi­ ence playing hockey and foot­ ball. “They use their skills and abilities as natural athletes as a tool to become more successful within the team,” said Cudmore, a junior majoring in literature and writing, with a minor in criminology. “Each member has the potential to become great in the future, not only through athletic involvement, but also as leaders of the community.” Cudmore, 23, confessed that being a team leader can be dif­ ficult. “I would love to be more organized, it would make our program run a little smoother,” said Cudmore. “But then again, we are still in the process of growing, so I guess it’s all right to make a little mistake here and there.” Cudmore and the lacrosse team team said they hope that the community will support them, and help them become recog­ Jeff Cudmore, on the lacrosse team, also worksfor the student government.

Cal State San Marcos pro­ duces the university’s General Catalog on a yearly basis to inform students of modifications to class descriptions and the school-wide policies. The Office of Academic Programs, whose committee works on refining the yearly catalog, however, is con­ sidering creating a bi-yearly cat­ alogue. Modeled after San Diego State University’s catalog, the bi-yearly catalog is still in the planning stages. “We want to put the best face forward for the campus that we can. The first thing students will see in the catalog if this goes through, are rather attrac­ tive images of Cal State San Marcos,” said David Barsky, associate vice president of Aca­ demic Affairs. With the bi-yearly catalog, the university would print more color pictures and focus more on its layout and design. The catalog could therefore be used as a recruiting mechanism that would be on display at high schools and junior colleges. A bi-yearly catalogue would also decrease the money spent on the yearly publication, which is supported from sales of the book and the school budget. Also, the class scheduled dis­ tributed every semester would cost less. Science Expo »A rticle cont. from pg. 3 experiments for some 200 students to perform. Some of the experiments helped the young­ sters learn how animals adapt to their environment, what causes sound, and how plants use light to produce food. Each student had 15 minutes to present a spe­ cific science concept to small groups of Discovery School students, who rotated through the mini-science exposition at 15-minute intervals. “The science fair was bene­ ficial because there were handson activities and visual demon­ strations that allowed students to become actively involved in learning,” said Vlasic. He added, “With science, or any subject for that matter, the challenge is to keep student interest and motivation. The sci­ ence fair helped in this respect because the activities were fun, appropriate in content for the primary grades, hands-on, and allowed students to learn by doing.” The CSUSM cohort includes nearly two dozen seniors under Norman’s direction, who have attended the same classes, stud­ ied together and journeyed together through an integrated credential program that began with the spring 2000 semester. Only one more semester remains before students in the cohort graduate with a bache­ lor’s degree in liberal studies and arts. Brand Name: “Cal State San Marcos” By AMY GRANITE Pride Staff Writer This semester, the Academic Program Marketing Task Force has set out to create an image for Cal State San Marcos that sets it apart from other local universities. “The most effective part of any program is to raise aware­ ness and to communicate specific messages comes from employees in an organization,” said Rick Moore, head of the communica­ tions department on campus, and head chair of the task force. According to Moore, that is why employees and students are now urged to refer to the univer­ sity as Cal State San Marcos, and discontinue the use of CSUSM, because other universities in the San Diego region are often referred to by their initials, for example, SDSU for San Diego State University. According to Moore, to set Cal State San Marcos apart from the bunch, it is the responsibil­ ity of students and staff to use the new brand Cal State San Marcos when referring to the university. The goal is to have this new brand name differenti­ ate this school from others in the area. Students and staff members supporting the university and its marketing efforts can only make the lives of Cal State San Marcos college community members improve, according to Moore. Though the “brand name” change might seem trivial or insignificant, the fact is that many get CSU and UC schools confused. By simplifying and marketing a name that stands out from the rest, according to task force officials, the Aca­ demic Program Marketing Task Force is attempting to leave an impression on potential future students. Lower Division Advising By AMY GRANITE Pride Staff Writer Toward the end of this semester and as registration approached, students had a diffi­ cult time seekingrtower-division advising. The problems began with student-advisor ratios. There are only two advisors available for 1600 lower-division students. “We try to encourage students to come in ASAP so we can help them out,” said Jane Sparks, a lower-division advisor. “Before and after registration we are so busy that it becomes difficult for students to get the help they need.” Throughout the semester, Sparks sends out e-mails to lower-division students, encour­ aging them to seek advising during off-peak times in jthe semester. The reality is that urgency for appointments builds near registration time, when stu­ dents tend to want advising help. Sign-up sheets are released weekly and within a day or so, all slots fill up with appointments. After lower-division registration, advisors’ schedules open up and walk-in advising appointments are available. Sparks advises students not to hold off on reg­ istration if they need to see an advisor arid can’t get an appoint­ ment, but rather to go ahead and register, then seek advising after advisement calms down. Students can then add or drop classes as the need arises. Michael Temple, a former lower-division advisor, is no longer employed at the university , and his departure added stress to the fall semester registration for lower-division students. Reasons for Temple’s departure have not been disclosed. Natasha Brock has temporarily taken over Tem­ ple’s position. This semester, many students did not know what classes to enroll in. Advisement encourages students to attend advising ses­ sions before November in the fall, and as soon as possible during the spring semester. There are also general education require­ ment handouts in the advising reception area in Craven Hall 3106. Now that you've worked hard all semester, Don't you deserve to get off?

Segall Pride Editor While many students are busy writing papers and preparing for their final exams, a few students and faculty took time off from their busy schedules on Thursday, December 7, to read their Spanish poetry and prose in the Library Courtyard. The audience of approximately 20 people, both native Spanish speakers and students learning the language, gathered at noon in the shade of the courtyard for the public reading titled, "Espacio literario," or "Literary Space." As acoustical guitar music played in the background, both students and faculty read their own compositions of prose and poetry. The purpose of the event was to open a literary space where students and faculty would be able to share their creative literary works with the public. Professor Carlos von Son read his prose composition, "Tu Ropa." Guadalupe Canseco and Carmel Burrel were two of twelve student participants to read their own prose and poetry. Canseco's "Abuela SoleSad," revealed her memories of her grandmother* and Burrel's "Homenaje a los padres chicanos," praised her Chicano parents. Students also read their favorite Avorks from other writers, like Pablo Neruda and Antonio Machado. Some of the more timid non-native Spanish-speaking students in the audience found the courage to read their own writings during spontaneous moments throughout the relaxed event. Student Patricia Caballero organized the event, along with students from the Latin World USA Club. The idea for the public reading came about when students learned about one professor's poetry "contests" held at the end of each semester. Students expanded on this idea and began planning the reading a few months ago, according to Caballero. • "It creates a space where students can present their literary skills," commented Dr. von Son. "We probably haven't had something like this in five years," added CSUSM Spanish Professor Stella Clark, "I was impressed by their [students'] choices and the high quality work." Student Soledad Acuna said they plan to have another poetry reading in the spring, but hopefully towards the beginning of the semester. "It's an exciting way to give opportunities for people to express themselves. Sometimes they're afraid, but they may start a new generation of literature and open new opportunities for talent," said Acuna.

Holidays Come Early for Two CSUSM Students: Qn Monday, December 4, two CSUSM students won combined cash and prizes totaling nearly $60,000 as contestants on the CBS game show, "The Price is Right." Marty Jimenez and Honey Folk were chosen to compete on the 28-year-old daytime television spectacle that many college-aged students grew up watching. Their televised experiences will be aired on January 19 on KFMB-TV. The two women were selected from about 30 other Cal State San Marcos students who traveled together to the Hollywoodbased live studio production. The Student and Residential Life program on campus sponsored the outing. Honey Folk, a junior Communications major, said her good fortune hasn't affected her much except that she feels "like a celebrity." As the rumor of her winnings has circulated around campus, many people have approached her to confirm the story at the campus coffee cart where she works. While Marty Jimenez never expected to b e called up oti stage by Rod Roddy, the announcer who famously commands contestants to "come oh down!", Honey Folk said she knew she would be chosen before the group ever reached CBS's Television City Studios. "I just knew that, yeah, I'll probably be chosen " recalled Folk. "Still", she says, "when I heard them shout, 'Honey Folk, come on down,' I was stunned!". Folk was among the first four contestants picked, and went onstage in the fourth round after having the closest bid on a pingpong table, which she won. She tested her quick thinking in "Beat the Clock," where she won a mini sail boat, a day bed, and $1,000 cash. "It's f un and high energy," Folk recalls. Among her parting gifts were an autographed photograph of host Barker, a program Institute Offers Study Abroad Programs By: Kevin Frisk Pride Staff Writer Honey Folk won a ping pong table, sailboat, and other gifts on "The Price is Right." Folk smiles while working at the coffee cart on campus. * Photo by Nathan Fields pin and her nametag. Folk also works on campus at the Office of Academic Affairs. Marty Jimenez, a senior Liberal Studies Major, was more cautious with her assumptions of being selected. "I never thought I would be chosen from so many other contestants," she said, "and even when I won the closest bid on the metal detector, arid the lights above my name were flashing, I waited until Bob Barker called me again to go up onstage-I didn't want to look stupid!" Ticjcet holders are admitted to the studios beginning at 7:30 a.m. on a first come first serve basis, and they are briefly interviewed with the show's producer after entering. "We knew they wanted people who were enthusiastic with outgoing personalities" said Folk.Jimenez believes she was chosen based on her energetic description of herself during the interview as "everybody's sister-friend." Jimenez played her way successfully through the various prize challenges all the way to the final "Showcase Showdown/' where she estimated prize package prices against a student from Arizona State University.

Photo by Nathan Fields to game rules, she won both Showcase prizes: the travel and the car. She won vacations to New Orleans, Niagara Falls, Rome and Bali, Indonesia. "I'm still in shock," Jimenez says, "All my friends from Cal State San Marcos were on stage with me at the end of the show, sharing the moment with me, and I remember saying 'This is for my mom and dad because they've given so much to me." She says she's ready to trade in her 1989 Buick Century and get behind the wheel of the new Mustang. Jimenez is a Fellow in The National Association of Student Personnel Administrators and is in the Faculty Mentoring Program at Cal State San Marcos. Both women made observations concerning what surprised them about participating in the show from the inside of the television screen. "Bob Barker was wearing a ton of make-up," said Jimenez. Folk commented, "When I kissed Bob Barker and he put his arm around me, I saw that he was wearing a long back-brace beneath his suit." Both Jimenez and Folk noted that the flashing number wheel that contestants spin to enter the "Showcase Showdown" was much heavier than they expected and difficult to spin. Neither student wa$ able to offer advice to individuals wishing to increase their skill at estimating prices of colorfully packaged consumer products. One aspect of the students' winnings they find disappointing is that the prizes are subject to federal taxation. Even though Marty Jimenez did not win any actual cash, she still has to pay 7.75% of $52,000 in taxes to the government. Jimenez said she probably wouldn't be thinking of that while on the beach in Bali. While eating lunch in the Dome or while typing your paper in the computer lab, it is common to hear a variety of languages being spoken. Many students may realize that these fellow students are visiting from a foreign country, but few really know exactly what these international students are doing on campus. The American Language and Culture Institute (ALCI) offers study abroad programs for students wishing to study in universities in the United States, like CSUSM. Currently CSUSM hosts 125 students from over 30 different countries. Like many other CSUs and UCs that have a study abroad program for foreign students, ALCI is separate from the university both financially and academically. ALCI offers a number of program options for non-matriculated foreign students; these students' main program, however, is the Intensive Academic Preparation (IAP) program. IAP students are prepared for entry into U.S. universities and colleges as graduates or undergraduates. This program provides students with a strong background in writing, reading, conversation, and an introduction to American culture, which will be helpful for success in universities and colleges beyond the ALCI program. The average ALCI student is around 21-22 years old, but there are exceptions. One student, Nobu Tsune OrimOj from Japan, is only sixteen years old and currently attending the IAP program. Nobu, who studied English while in Japan, has been here already for seven months. Nobu said, "Reading is difficult, but writing is f un to learn. I hope that with my experience that I learned at ALCI, I can maybe someday attend UCSD as a biology major." Out of every group of foreign students, one or two students per semester remain at CSUSM. Students in the IAP program pay $3,675 per session and they have the option of living with an American family or renting an apartment on their own. »Article continues on page 2 �The Pride 2 Tuesday, December 12, 2000 Religious and Cultural Celebrations In December By: Steve Kerriri Pride Staff Writer that lasts for eight days. It begins on the 25th day of Kislev in the Hebrew calendar. It is a celebration of the victory of the Maccabees over Syrian ruler Antiochus IV in 165 BCE. According to the Talmud, a book of Judaic law and tradition, when the Maccabees reclaimed the Temple in Jerusalem, only one day's worth of sacred oil for the temple lamps was left. According to Judaic tradition, this oil burned until more oil that was fit for Temple use could be obtained, which did not happen until eight days later. Jews commemorate this miracle by, among other practices, lighting the menorah, which holds nine candles, one for each day of the miracle and one called the "servant light" from which all others are lit. that Christmas would be celebrated on this day* Winter Solstice (Pagan): The Winter Solstice is celebrated on the shortest day of the year, the day in which the sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn. In ancient times, people feared that the days would continue to shorten if they did not perform cerHanukkah (Judaism): emonies and have celebrations. Hanukkah is a Jewish festival As a result, many pagan holidays Christmas (Christianity): Christmas, from the Old English words "Cristes maesse," meaning "Mass of Christ," is the celebration of the birth of the Christian savior, Jesus Christ. The exact date of his birth is not known, but it has been celebrated on or about December 25 for over 1,600 years. The season begins on the Kwanzaa (AfricanAmerican): Unlike the previous four holidays, which are religious in nature, Kwanzaa is a cultural celebration. It begins on December 26 and ends on January 1. Created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Ron Karenga, its purpose is to celebrate the history of African-American culture and to help strengthen familial ties.

Communication During this time of year, living in a predominantly Christian society means that the holiday we hear the most about is Christmas. The truth is that there are many religious and cultural celebrations in December. Here is a brief summary of five of them: Ramadan (Islam): Ramadan is the holiest of Muslim holidays. Ramadan is viewed as a time of atonement, similar to Lent (Christianity) and Yom Kippur (Judaism). This holiday occurs in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Muslims celebrate this month by abstaining from food, drink, and sexual intercourse from dawn until dusk each day. They believe that fasting is the third pillar of their religion and teaches many virtues, not the least of which is self-control. The period is concluded on Eid-al-Fitr, or the Festival of Fast-Breaking, in which Muslims spend the day in prayer and celebration. International Students were centered on this time of year. As later religions developed, they often replaced pagan holidays with their own. In the case of Christianity, approximately 1,600 years ago, Pope Julius I declared first day of Advent, a season of preparation for the coming savior, and ends on the feast of the Epiphany, when, according to tradition, Jesus was visited by three wise men from the east who had seen a sign in the sky telling them of the birth of a savior. Christmas has become a secular holiday in many parts of the world. The exchange of gifts is a common tradition for both Christians and secularists. represent the seven ideals, three red, three green, and one black. The red candles symbolize the struggles of African-Americans, the green candles symbolize their vision of the future, and the black candle represents the AfricanAmerican people. As mentioned, these are only five of the many religious and cultural celebrations that occur during or around December. Many other religions have their own celebrations, some of which are rooted in traditions that date back hundreds or even thousands of years. Though the traditions have changed somewhat through time, their original spirit -still practiced in many parts of the world. and American culture courses are designed for students who wish to improve their understanding of American culture and further develop their abilijy to communicate with native speakers* Pride Radio Debut A n A scent to D ouble P eak By: Melanie Addington Pride Editor By: Benjamin Wayne Pride Staff, Writer Minutes from Cal State San The first taping of Pride Radio was Thursday, November Marcos' campus lies an oasis of 7.

Much of the trail passes through previously scorched areas of the 1996 Harmony Grove fire. Since the blaze, wildflowers, grasses, and coastal sage scrub have returned to beautify the hillside that is a stark contrast to the skeletal remains of the tallest trees that cast their blackened shadow upon the landscape. Rabbits, lizards, and roadrunners all dance in the distance, alerted by the pitter-patter of your feet. As you climb higher and higher up the mountain and, as the wind picks up, so does your olfactory sense as you take in the smells of California Lilac, Black Sage, and Laurel Sumac. From high atop Double Peak, patient hikers will be awestruck by the spectacular 360-degree view of the Pacific Ocean, Palomar Mountain, Mount San Jacinto in the San Bernadinos, the Cuyamacas, Harmony Grove, and the San Dieguito River Valley. In the upcoming years, the Friends of the San Marcos Parks and Trails hope to raise enough money to build a 200-acre park, high atop the ridgeline. Plans for the park include: campsites, an equestrian area, a museum, and an amphitheatre.

Ryan Sandahl Pride Staff Writer , Vietnamese-American author Le Ly Hayslip gave a short presentation to Dr. Dawn Formo's Film and O ther Genres class on December 7> in ACD 102. Hayslip discussed her two novels, When Heaven and Earth Changed Places and Child of War, Woman of Peace. Oliver Stone's f ilm Heaven and Earth was based on her two memoirs. "I am pleased Oliver made the movie," said Hayslip. Even though the f ilm was not very successful, she was happy the voices of the Vietnamese villagers were heard through the film. Released in December of 1993, Heaven and Earth was defeated at the box-office by Spielberg's Schindler's List, which was out at the same time.

Photos by imdb.com •III • •I Ryan and Crowe courtesy of imdb.com ave to governmentProof Of Life happointeddkeal withegotiators. The idnap n By: Brian Fisher Pride Staff Writer Proof of Life, directed by Taylor Hackford, delivers the expected, but still offers little disappointment. A long list of stars carries the film, which includes Russell Crowe (Terry Thome), Meg Ryan (Alice Bowman), David Morse (Peter Bowman), and David Caruso (Dino). The action sparks when Peter Bowman, husband of Alice Bowman, is kidnapped and held for ransom by a South-American revolutionary group. Terry Thorne, a kidnap and ransom negotiator/consultant, is assigned to the Bowman case and ensures Alice that her husband will be brought home alive. Complications arise when Thome's company encounters insurance problems with Peter's business. Thome is withdrawn from the case because of the conflict of interest, leaving Alice to government negotiators, however, . fall short of Thome's promise of a safe return for her husband. Excellent humor and realistic action sequences make the predictability of the film more bearable. Dialogue exchanged by the revolutionaries is crude, comical, and appropriate for the advancement of the story. Action scenes contribute a sense of realism within the humor and construct a climax worthy of multiple applauses.' In a nutshell, this is a good "shoot 'em up" with plenty of twists and humor to keep you strapped to your seat for the duration. Crowe, Ryan, and Mor$e will have you laughing, cringing, and crying (if you're so inclined) throughout Proof of Life. Now one might ask, "Is this one worth the evening price, or should I go with the matinee?" As Terry Thome says, "A figure is a figure, mate." Winter Break Destinations By: Kevin Frisk . Pride Staff Writer Geoffrey Rush and Kate Winslet (far right) star in Quills. Photo courtesy of imdb.com By: J. Ryan Sandahl Pride Staff Writer "I've a naughty little tale to tell," are the f irst words of Philip Kaufman's latest f ilm, Quills. Quills is the story of the Marquis de Sade, (played by Geoffrey Rush) the mastermind behind some of the most raunchy and pornographic manuscripts of the late eighteenth century. The Marquis has been confined to a cell in a mental institution though being lock in a cell is far from punishment. He sits at his desk with his quills, paper, and ink, and writes; his manuscripts are smuggled o ut of the asylum by a chambermaid named Madeleine (played by Kate Winslet). Coulmier, a priest (played by Joaquin Phoenix), is in charge of the asylum and considers the Marquis his friend, regardless of his dirty nature. Both the priest and the Marquis are in love with Madeleine (or, in the Marquis' case, in lust). Michael Caine's character, the evil Royer-Collard, goes to the asylum with hopes of censoring the Marquis. The Marquis promises to change his ways, but another dirty manuscript appears. The priest is forced to take away his quills and his paper. The Marquis simply pricks his fingers and writes his next story on his clothing using his own bloods There is no stopping the Marquis. The film is well directed and filled with many phallic symbols and sexual one-liners. Incidentally, Kaufman was the first man to receive the NC-17 rating for his film, Henry and June. This film is definitely not for children. There is some sexual content but it is not shown. Full of greed, lust, sexuality, and some foul language, the film will probably be seen as best picture material by the Academy. I would hope, however, that films of more moral standards and meaning would easily defeat a film such as Quills. Quills, due out December 15, is rated R and has running time of 124 minutes. CSUSM students are very active in off-campus sports like skateboarding, surfing, snowboarding, and skiing. With the winter season coming into full swing and winter break just days away, it is important to know where to go to have f un in the snow. It is also good to know where to get a cheap ride this year, especially for students, many with minimal funds. Within a few hours drive are places like Bear Mountain, Snow Summit, Mountain High, and Mammoth (a somewhat longer drive, but one of the best mountain resorts in California). Bear Mountain Bear Mountain offers the highest lift terrain in Southern California. At over 8,000 feet, the snowfall is usually a little heavier. As long as conditions are cold and there is dry snow, the capability of 100% of the mountain to be covered with manmade snow is all but guaranteed. There is state of the art technology at Bear Mountain, along with water from Big Bear Lake and local reservoirs, and the mixing of compressed air to make snow at Bear Mountain. The resort also offers a sports shop with equipment, clothes, and accessories, a repair shop and lockers for personal storage. Tickets range in price from $29 for a half-day pass, to $35 for a full day adult lift pass. Holidays are $46 for a full day adult pass.

Letters may b e edited for grammar and length. Letters should b e submitted To Whom It May Concern, Dear Editors, I would like to apologize to the faculty, students, public safety, and the cross country/track team for my actions on Monday, November 27, 2000. What I did was wrong and irresponsible. At that moment, I thought it would be funny. Now I reflect on my actions and I realize I violated their rights. They had every right t o be on campus and preach their message. What I did reflects badly on myself as a person, but it also reflects badly on the team I participate on, and most importantly it reflects badly on the school. I hope all parties involved can accept my apology. Sincerely, Joshua Wing I am a graduating senior. I am upset and baffled by the fact that finals week has been omitted from the school calendar. I do not understand why or how this decision was implemented. I am able to find no logic behind the decision: How is it that students are being expected to attend class, complete regular course work, write papers, give presentations, and study for final exams all at the same time? It is obvious that the students' best interests have not been taken into consideration! I hope that after a more thorough analysis of the situation this policy will be terminated and finals week reinstated. Sincerely, Natasha Koelkebeck Dear Editors, I'd like to thank the people that decided that the tuition payments should now be due on Dec. 19, 2000 rather than waiting for the usual due date in mid-January. I'd like to thank them for ensuring that I can't overspend for Christmas this year, or spend at all really. Talk about a cost saving measure! I'd like to thank them for ensuring that all of those gifts I was going to buy family and friends won't be under my tree. I would especially like to thank them for making this announcement with so much time to properly budget for the change. Thank you CSUSM staff! Will we find out sometime in January that we will have to pay for Fall 2001's tuition in February?! This letter is in response to David Ludwig's article regarding Fee Payment Deadlines (PRIDE 11/28/00). We adjusted student fee payment schedule because we must comply with State regulations that require fee payment at the time of registration. The changes were approved in late April and begin with the Spring 2001 semester. We recognize that earlier payment will be problematic for some students. However, we think the new plan will make class scheduling more workable. Our. former practice allowed students to ''reserve" many seats, blocking enrollment in those classes for other students. As our enrollment grew, and the availability of spaces in classes became tighter, we discovered that a growing number of students were preregistering for classes that many never intended to attend. The new arrangement more directly connects payment with registration so we can all depend on the outcome (or "results"). Our new payment deadlines provide registration for students who pay on time, and allow for later reservation of courses by Remembering Helene Clark By: Nathan Fields Pride Staff Writer In death, the generosity of Helene Clarke is remembered as it continues to give birth to new life on the Cal State San Marcos campus. Cal State San Marcos says "thank-you" one last time to Helene Clarke, the magnanimous benefactor to the university who passed away at her Oceanside home on Monday, December 4, after an extended illness. Clarke donated the funds necessary to ensure the building of the recently approved CSUSM field house/ student union, some $1.2 million. In a memorandum issued December 5, CSUSM President Alex Gonzalez expressed his sadness and disappointment. "We had all hoped that Helene Clarke would live to see the construction and completion of the Clark Field House/Student Union building," wrote Gonzalez. "While this was not possible," he continued, "Mrs. Clarke was pleased to learn about the groundbreaking ceremony that we held last Thursday, November 30, to mark the site of the project." Little information was available concerning Helene Clarke's life, as she left no immediate family members in her death. Longtime resident of Oceanside, Mrs. Clarke said that she had come to think of the university as part of her extended family The Pride via electronic mail to The Pride electronic mail account, rather than the individual editors.

As before, Financial Aid recipients are not required to pay prior to the start of classes, because the-fee payment is guaranteed by respective funding agencies. We did our best to let students know of the change. Starting in mid-October, students were notified in a variety of ways: 1) Priority Registration appointments, mailed t o all students on 10/16, referred to the new fee payment information posted at the CSUSM web site. 2) On 10/16 the SMART web and voice response (phone) systems indicated the new payment deadlines as well as the amount due. 3) Prompt payment flyers were posted on campus bulletin boards on 10/20. 4) Class Schedules, the primary source of campus registration and payment information, were available beginning 10/27 and explained the payment process and deadlines. 5) Posters were placed around campus on 11/30. 6) Email reminders are being sent to students just prior to payment deadline We have also tried to make it easier for students to pay Passing of Professor Edmond Kwan their fees. In conjunction with the prompt payment transition, the University Cashiers worked with a College of Business Senior Experience Team to implement recommendations for service improvements. This student team highlighted the need to create paperless and electronic processes that would minimize campus cost while improving student services. The Cashiers Office now has available all of the following payment mechanisms 24 hours a day, which in most cases do not require a trip to the campus: 1) SMART Voice Response phone payment by credit or bankcard 2) WEB payment by credit or bankcard 3) Mail-in of checks 4) Drop box for checks (located in the breezeway outside of Cashiers, Craven Hall, 3rd floor) With the majority of students using these payment methods, the three campus cashiers are redirecting their service to students who need help with their accounts.

Koenig/ Staff Qraphic Freshmen elaim law, rights violated in eviction from student housing By Tony Barton News Editor Students Casey Lapage and Oliver Hepp were evicted from CSUSM student housing at the Islands apartment complex Dec. 3 due to "continued violation of policies," according to Housing CoordinatorTanis Brown. Lapage and Hepp were evicted after a visit from their living advisor, Brad W ard, on Dec. 1, when school housing rules, >vhich have not been publicly disclosed, were found to have been broken. "A program like this can't exist without rules," said Brown. Lapage has made the accusation that he and Hepp's civil liberties were infringed upon by their not being given "adequate legal notice to vacate." Law requires 15 days in the light of a lease agreement to supply sufficient time for tenants to relocate. "We said 'Can we have until the end of the semester(to vacate)?' and they said no. W e said 'can we have a week?' and they said no. W e said 'can we have three days?' and they said no," said Lapage. Brown stated that the student housing contract was in fact a licence agreement, not a lease, and that the law is not applicable. She also stated that under the terms of the licence agreement, tenants could be vacated immediately. "We continued within contract boundaries. W e wouldn't have pursued the action we took if it was notwithin them," said Brown. Lapage criticized the fact that housing rules were distributed and signed after the signing of the licence agreement papers. Students had already signed the agreement before the rules were officially distributed. "Students concerned aboutthe policy in any way were encouraged to have an open forum for discussion. There were no attempts to take the policy any far* ther than it was layed out in the guidelines," said Brown. "We wanted (the school housing) to be a safe place for first-year students. W e wouldn't want any other students in jeopardy." A ccording to Lapage, h is mother was not informed of the eviction, though she co-signed the licence agreement. "My mother was a co-signer and she wasn't informed about anything. The school has handled this irresponsibly," said Lapage. Lapage and Hepp had to have escorts to pick up their belongings, which had been locked inside their former apartment, and other school housing residents were told they would be evicted if Lapage or Hepp were allowed in student rooms. "(Brown) can't get away with (evictinguswrongfully),"Lapage said. "She can't get away with going against our rights." �Considine takes in day of university life Dec. 1 By Tony Barton Trish Nagy/Staff Photographer The new Palomar/Pomerado health complex is currently under construction. Staff Writer On Dec. 1, Board of Trustees Chairman R.J. Qim) Consadine, Jr. visited Cal State San Marcos to partake in "A Day In the Life of a University," marking the first of what is to be an annual, one-day "trustee in residence" program. Consadine's day started with a breakfast with CSUSM "first alums" followed by a MBA class on information technology for business leaders, visits to the Decision Making center, and the Cen- IHeart of City7 progressing By Tony Barton News Editor The "Heart of the City" plan, a plan formed in 1988 aimed at developing the area around what have since become City Hall and Cal State San Marcos into a central point in downtowndeficient San Marcos, is continuing in it's progress, despite rough economic times. Current Palomar Pomerado Health Group construction and land leasing by the Spagetti Factory and Hometown Buffet restaurants, along with on-going land development, are the current workings towards the plan's completion. "Here we are seven years later with the town center underway," said San Marcos Deputy City Manager Paul Malone. "It has worked out pretty well so far. We've been victims of the economy." Additional land may be leased to Scripps, Kaiser and/or Koll developing company. A movie theatre complex and hotel are also in consideration. In addition, much of the land surrounding CSUSM needs to "be made into developmental condition," according to Malone. Anew six-lanefreewaybridge over highway 78 on Twin Oaks Valley Road is also on the agenda for 1997. It would not be unreasonable for the plan to take nearly 20 years to be completed, under the current economic conditions, according to Malone. "When the economy strengthens, I don't think it will take 20 years," he said. Making San Marcos a more attractive choice for a California State University was also an inspiration of the "Heart of the City" plan. City officials offered to collaborate with state trustees in city planning if the university were to be located in San Marcos. Plan negotiations with the Chancellor's office in Long Beach, which beganin 1996, were two years in the running. " (The university) is a substantial part of the community. It's part of the educational focus of the town. We're building San Marcos's identity around two institutions of learning (CSUSM, Palomar College)," said Malone. Malone pointed out the level of cooperation between the university and city government as a strong point in the city's development. "The degree of cooperation is unusual. There's usually some level of friction. We're hoping to avoid that in the planning process," he said. "Many communities with universities have problems. We're hoping to avoid that. We're committed to keep talking." ter for Books in Spanish. After lunch he visited the Writing Center, science labs and computer labs. " (The day was) exciting. It was justoutstanding," sad Consadine. The Decision Making Center, the new campus not being caught up in established beaurocracy, the writing requirement, and senior experience were mentioned by Consadine as "outstanding" parts of CSUSM. Consadine also attended an afternoon Associated Students meeting, where he spoke on popular trustee issues, prominently the fee increase, and answered questions. Consadine holds a BS in business management, masters degree in finance, is senior vicepresident of Ryder, Stilwell, Inc., and has been on the CSU board of trustees since 1991. The trustee-in-residence program is designed to make trustees more knowledgeable in regards to everyday campus workings.

The concerns and answers are listed below. The information comesfromBonnie Biggs. Many books are out of order. Books piled over on book trucks. I've never seen anyone replacing books. This makes it difficult if books are out of order or still on trucks if we need them. We hope to have the shelves "read" during the winter break. We only have money for a limited number of student assistant shelvers, the increased circulation of books has created a backlog. We do ask libraiy users nottoreturn materials to the shelftohelp us avoid the "out of order'' problem. When a student has all 5 classes on campus and needs to use the Lexus/Nexus, has all sylabuses (sic) for all classes but has left school ID at home but has California ID. They should be allowed to use it I only needed itfor 5 minutes. This is mid-terms and students do not need this stress! The CSU license agreement with Mead-Data (Lexis Nexis) is extremely strict about usage. One CSU campus in Northern California had its license revoked because a non-CSU student was found to be using Lexis Nexis, thus leaving all students without the service for a semester. Access with a large number of books seems only possiblefromCraven Hall without climbing stairs and a labyrinth of closed access ways. Can't it be possible to create a book drop in the student parking lot? There is a book drop in the cul de sac around infrontof Craven Hall-near the flag pole-within reachfromyour car. Everyone is very helpful and nice, but please, BE OPEN ON SUNDAYS! (Forthoseofus who work—it's hard—plus the hours on Saturday aren't long.) Thank you for the nice comments about the staff—we take pride in serving our libraiy users. We hope since you wrote this comment you have been able to use die libraiy on Sundays from 1:00 to 5:00. We've altered our weekly schedule to be open on Sundays due to comments such as yours. I feel that we as students of CSUSM should get the same privleges (sic) as students who attend SDSU. Our school (CSUSM) has a great many advantages over SDSU. M our library is not one of them. It's not the size of the library but the hours it (sic) open!! This is a major university and thefore (sic) the library should be open at the very least till midnight and 24 hours during exams if possible. The libraiy is now open on Sundays from 1:00 to 5:00. To keep the library open until midnight would require additional staff—which we are unabletofund this year. Even though our libraiy staff is only about one-quarter the size of SDSU's Love Libraiy, (CSUSM 27 to SDSU's 105) we are open 68.5 houre compared to their 82 hours per week. In addition, as a CSU student, you are welcometouse the Love Libraiy. v Why not put computer (Mac's and IBM's with printer) in the library (somewhere) for use by students. There are many times I wish I could just type my papers after I do my research. Thanks—future students will appreciate it We hope you have had the opportunity to use the newly installed computers on the thirdfloorof die libraiy at the back of the stacks. I would like to recommend a cork board for students to leave messages for group members. With the growing number of groups at this school and people either changing the place to meet or time change I think that this would be quite beneficial. Inresponsetoyour request—we installed a cork board near the libraiy exit and so far it has not been used. Please pass the word. Perhaps you would consider a card similar to the one stapled here for your machines. Often, amount needed to be copied can exceed the small bills carried. These could be sold in bookstore. -Yes—we are woridng on contracting out copier services that would include copy card capability. We need more duplication machines..^ in the libraiy, 1 in Duplication Services...not always in operation. How about a room with card operations...liiere has been an increase in the number of students, yet we do not have more machines. Yes—there has been an increase in students but no increase in libraiy space. Additional machines would interfere with student study spaces. A separate copy room is planned for die libraiy and information center building when it is built Why are there only 3 copy machines for 3670 students? I ask this because 2/3 of these machines are inoperable at this time. 5 PM on 4/4/95. What is up? Oh yeah...the 5C machine in Science Building in down too! With the new service, we hope the 3 machines are always in operation! I really like the new computers but everyone is talking in the backroom now. We need more rooms for groups to meet and talk & we need to have control over people talking in the Library when others are trying to read. Yes. This is a problem. We regret that the space problem in the libraiy will get worse before it gets better—since there are no plans for expansion until die libraiy and information center is built in 10 years. While libraiy staff trytoenforce "silence" rules, they cannot be eveiywhere aH the time. . Send us your news The Pride is looking for news submissions.

You won't see them on MTV, but you will hear them in a fifth grade class where teachers are part of the SUAVE program. Teaching students through the arts is the goal of SUAVE, which is an acronym in Spanish for Socios Unidos para Artes Via Educacidn (United Community for the Arts in Education). SUAVE is an innovative, one-of-akind program developed by Cal State University San Marcos (CSUSM) professor Dr. Merryl Goldberg in partnership with the California Center for the Arts, Escondido (CCAE) and elementary schools in San Diego. The partnership reflects the changing role of the arts in the face of major budget cuts which have eliminated most K-12 art classes in California. By integrating art into math, science, history and other subjects, SUAVE provides a more fundamental role for art in education. Now in its second year, SUAVE placed three professional artists who serve as arts coaches in elementary school classrooms. They became partners with the teachers, creating new ways to utilize the arts as a teaching tool. Goldberg has found that when art is integrated into education, learning becomes fun and students retain more. It also offers students morefreedomof expression, which gives bi-lingual students greater educational opportunities. The partners have developed curriculum including writing poetry for language acquisition, drama for students to learn history, and the visual arts to teach geometry. By making puppets of past presidents, students not only learned history, but also anatomy and math as they scaled down measurements, for example. The coaches — a visual artist, a musician, and a puppeteer/actor —join their partner teachers on a weekly basis in the classroom. Coaches and teachers work together to develop activities that are directly related to the children and the curriculum. In addition, the coaches and teachers attend five in-service days at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido where they share their experiences and meet with professional artists-in-resi- AMAZING AIRFARES dence at the arts center. At the last session, 20 teachers presented their newly-developed curriculum. The program also involves educating future teachers. As part of their student teaching, 25 College of Education students from CSUSM who focus on the arts for their credential are placed in SUAVE classrooms. Goldberg's plan is that after two years of the program, classroom teachers will in effect become mentors at their schools, enabling the three coaches to work at other schools.

Shopping carts fill to the rim,Christmaslightsgoup,andpine . , trees are chopped down. Amidst the Yuletide tumult of traffic, and frantic shoppers testing the limits of their credit cards, is the feeling of well-being, warmth, and Christmas spirit. As we look forward to the new year, many of us cannot wait for the worries and problems of the past year to be resolved in the signing of tax forms, registering for Spring classes, and the refreshing feeling of beginning a new year. During these months, too much is, I think, forgotten and taken for granted as we tend to get caught up in the frenzy of "holiday bargains," and guilt-oriented media advertisements. We don't take the time to really relax and enjoy the comfort of family and friends as much as we should. In our efforts to make the season a joyful one, we spend hundreds of doUars on clothes, toys, and other gifts, and then create more stress for ourselves by making plans for the upcoming year. In this age of telecommunications technology, have we forgotten how to communicate human-to-human; face-to-face? Try turning off the television and the computer, or unplugging the phone for once. Try sitting down on the couch with a hot cup of cocoa or cider, and enjoying the simple company offriendsand family. Try forgetting about the concerns of the real world for just a couple of hours, and look at old pictures or call up an oldfriendin a distant city. Most will find this a lot more rewarding than buying expensive or unnecessary gifts and worryong anout the impending bills to come. I find it sad that too many people don'tfeel comfortable spending time talking to, or just enjoying the golden silence while in the presence of others. The mode of thinking during Christmas tends to be one of annual habit rather than one of reverence for the tradition (which was originally based upon the birth of Christ, and the idea of selflessness which He proclaimed). We tend to disregard the origins and history of Christmas and as a result, we get caught up in the giving and the getting. This is not about forcing matters of personal belief upon anyone. I f s about coming in touch with the truth of the celebration of wrapping presents, kissing under the mistletoe, drinking eggnog, and especially spending quality time with brothers, sisters, closefriendsand fellow human beings. So try and take the time during this holiday to give someone a hug, reflect on the accomplishments of the past year, and remember the real reason for the season.

Koenig BUSINESS MANAGER Joyce Kolb NEWS EDITOR Tony Barton ON-LINE EDITOR Ty Carss FEATURE EDITOR John Loch TECH EDITOR Todd Federman PHOTO EDITOR David Taylor It's gettin' late... gotta say goodbye I couldn't think of a better way to end my tenure as editor of The Pride. As I sit here at 9:48 p.m. Tuesday night (5 hours behind schedule), I'm thinking about how I've managed to end this semester with a bang. I've been flamed to death on the campus Internet newsgroups and two students put together quite a nice piece of satire about this newspaper called "The Shame." Not bad. Part of a journalist's job is to not only support the community it serves, but to ruffle a few feathers here and there as well. After all, it is we journalists that are responsible for getting many discussions about controversial issues started in the first place. Those kinds of issues not encourage people to think, they help provide a check on the power structures and people that make society work. From our editorials this semester — from the infamous THE "chalking" to slamming the Associated Students for saying we are an "arm" of their organization — it is clear that the editorial staff has not been afraid to state its opinions, me included. I am proud of the stances we have taken this semester. The editorials you have found on these pages have been the most biting in The Pride's short three-year history. Many people on campus have indicated to me that they believe I am the sole person responsible for the content and production of this newspaper. I am here to tell you that is not so. This semester's newspaper boasted the largest and most eager group of reporters and editors ever. My thanks go to Tony Barton and Paul Hilker for being our most diligent news hounds. For thefirsttime, I wasn't writing all the news stories! To Ty Carss and Todd Federman, I thank them for getting The Pride on-line with an Internet edition. People as far away as Baton Rouge, La. have been reading our paper. My thanks iMt OMAN 5. also go to Dave Taylor, Trish Nagy, Oliver Hepp and John Wheeler for providing the highest-quality photographs ever. I applaud John Loch and Joyce Kolb for sticking with us even in the midst of horrible illness and deadline mishaps. To the rest of the staff, those who have stayed and those who have had to leave us, I thank all of you for your contributions. All of you provided a solid foundation and a tradition of excellence that will last for many years. Above all, I want to thank one person who never received much credit during the media blitz this paper received at the b eginning of t he semester. Mary Szterpakiewicz was The Pride'sfirsteditor, and without her hours of hard work from fall 1993 to fall 1994 this paper would not be here in thefirstplace. She had the enthusiasm and wherewithal to create an excellent newspaper, and I thank her for her constant news updates and information this semester. Finally, I want to thank the campus community as a whole,fromDr. Bill Stacy to the first freshman students. Without your readership and support, this paper would have no purpose. I ask all of you to keep reading next semester as a new editor takes the helm. The clock now reads 10:05 p.m. Writing this column is my last act as editor. Then it's on to one more final exam, and a new full-time job with the new North County Times. My best wishes got to everyone at this university, which I have proudly attended for three-and-a-half years.

Interest in the project was inspired by a group of seven CSUSM staff members: History Advising Coordinator Leslie Zomalt, Housing Coordinator Tanis Brown, Human Resources Management Director Judy Taylor, Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Patricia Worden, Public Services Clerical Assistant Judith Dowine, Candice Van Dall of Admissions and Records, and Lora Coad, mm ' -7 -' i n - M M ?> -s • • Wwm, I S m § 1 ® ' m 1 Liberal Studies adviser. > Roman S .

The quilt's projectedfinishis next summer, according to Patricia Worden. She explained that, "The point of the project is to create a sense of community between faculty and students, at the same time giving homage to founding members of CSUSM." The group raised money for the Bree Tinney Scholarship Fund by charging $2 per signature. The quilt will be displayed on campus after its completion. The quilt project has also initiated creative spirit on campus, according to the quilters. Other groups like the tenants of the student housing complex and the staff of the College of Arts and Sciences have also adopted or completed quilt projects of their own.

The work, entitled "Shards From A Glass House," is part of an art display called "Common Ground: A Regional Exhibition" and is open to viewers until Feb. 11. The exhibit presents recent work by 18 San Diego-area artists. Avalos has been a member of the CSUSM faculty since 1991. His current research is being done on Chicano art in the border region. Since the 1970s Avalos's artwork has conveyed strong socio-political issues surrounding the plight of illegal immigrants and Mexican-American ancestry. He adds perspective and insight in the identity of the Mestizo and Chicano people through many different styles of art and exhibition. Avalos's research, which reflects boldly in his artwork and his courses, states that relating personal research and classroom instruction is a necessity. "Victor Rocha, the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, impressed upon the faculty that the research of professors be strictly related to their classroom instruction and dialog," Avalos explained. "So I've found a way to have my research facilitate my instruction." When asked what style of art he prefers to create, Avalos was reluctant to categorize himself as an artist who has a specific style. "As an artist, I am not defined as 'a painter' or 'a sculptor^ or 'photographer,'" he said. "My art is expressed in a wide variety of media such as computer art, poetry, hand-made objects and other things." What is it that distinguishes contemporary art from specialized art styles?

If so, then the latest addition to Ian Flemingis infamous James Bond series, "Goldeneye," di- rected by Martin Campbell, is the film to quench your thirst. Though it lacks depth, you should not be disappointed, for the very nature of a Bond film is to entertain the audience with mindless fun, not offer a greater insight into the human condition or the secterts of the universe. Delivering laughs and excitement, "Goldeneye" is quite simply a film to be enjoyed. As always, the stunts extend beyond the realm of reality, but why would we expect anything less from Britain's number one sectert agent 007? The most intriguing element of a Bond film is never whether he will succeed or fail (we already know that Bond always saves the day), but rather the way in which he will do it this time. With "Goldeneye," however, there is an even more important question on everyone's mind, for we all wantto know who the new guy is behind the gun! It's been ten long years since the rumors began that the debonair Pierce Brosnan was to be the next James Bond, and the wait is finally at an end!

It has the right mix of rockers and sensitive guy ballads. The first single, "War," is an awesome song getting much airplay on 91X . How can you not love a song that has a verse "We drank tequila and watched your Mom dance at the Bambi Club?" This is, of course, after your sister is complimented for making "me feel good last Christmas/ in your mom's station wagon behind 7-11." Next is "The Ballad of Tommy and Maria", which sort of reminds me of "Dick's Automotive" mated with "Natural Born Killers." After this is a song for the guys, a good excuse for the girlfriend let's-havesex-song called "Now's Not the Right Time for Love." "Suburbia" is about crazy, wacky, kooky life-in-suburbia (what a shocker). Officially closing the album is "Hangover", a song for the truck driver in all of us. There are two unlisted songs on the album. The first is for John Lentz and is caljed "Your Ghost". The album as a whole is also dedicated to Lentz, who was gunned down in Balboa Park on May 1,1994. It's a pretty depressing tribute to Lentz, who apparently was a big Rugburns fan.

Although Bond's world has evolved with the times (there is now an ironfisted female playing the role of M), he is still the same old 007 that we have grown to love, with his "cavalier attirude towards life" and that undeniable charm with ladies. Bond's notoriuos sexual antics, however, have not gone unchecked. Not only does his new boss refer to him as a "relic of the Cold War," she even goes so far as to call him a "sexist masogynist dinosaur." It seems that this time around Bond cannot even save the day without the help of his female companion, Natalya, played by Izabella Scorupco. Poor James. Could the man with the golden touch have finally met his match?! M is not the only woman reeking havoc in James's life though, for his new masochisitic adversary, Xenia Onatopp, played by Famke Janssse, does her fair shre of damage to Brosnan's perfect form. Despite the fact that Onatopp is pure evil (and, yes, that name is a little sexual innuendo Bond style), you can't help but be mesmerized by her enthusisam for the job.

Dr. Bill Stacy, Cal State San Marcos president By Roman S. Koenig A s t he year draws to a close, Cal S tate San Marcos MJk h as begun to reflect on t he successes of 1994 as i t m \ looks to t he f uture when f reshmen and sophomores join t he campus community in fall 1995. Dr. Bill Stacy, university president, offered his t houghts on t he accomplishments of 1994 Monday. "The tremendous generosity of Mrs. (Ella) Thedinga h as got to be a highlight," Stacy noted f irst. Thedinga, a Rancho Bernardo resident, donated $500,000 t o CSUSM for a scholarship f und. "The money itself is enormous and wonderful, b ut t here is a symbolism t here t hat is so r eassuring to me." Thedinga serves as a symbol, according t o Stacy, for those people in t he general community who have gone f rom knowing n othing about t he university t o gaining knowledge about t he i nstitution a nd i ts purpose t hrough interaction with s tudents, faculty and staff. "Most importantly, she met a connection in t he president of t he Associated S tudents. Michelle Sadova was a very gracious host to h er," Stacy continued. "Out of t hat association, t hen, Mrs. Thedinga h as p ut together t his $500,000 scholarship endowment. So t hat's a highlight for me, and as I say I d on't denigrate for one moment t he enormous size of t hat money, b ut mostly i t's t he metaphor" t hat is i mportant. Another of Thedinga's contacts on campus was Susan Mendes of S tudent H ealth Services, Stacy added. T he campus's S tudent Health Center h as since been renamed in Thedinga's honor. Another highlight for Stacy was t he increased enrollment experienced a t CSUSM t his semester. T he s tudent population now s tands a t approximately 3,000, according t o Stacy. A t hird highlight for CSUSM's president was a day of r ecruiting young people f rom a rea high schools and j unior highs in October. "I t hink it was a day of saying to a lot of young people in N orth County t hat 'You really can t hink about college.' If not here, t hen Palomar (Community College) or MiraCosta (Community College) or San Diego S tate," explained Stacy. The president credited t he university's AVID program and o ther campus services for making t he day successful. "To see t hat (Founders') plaza j ust jammed full of high school and middle school young people was a thrill to me," he added. "I t hink they felt (the university's) welcome m at." On t he academic side, Stacy noted t he additions of over 20 new faculty and staff members to CSUSM, including t he h iring of Dr. Newton Margulies a s t he dean of t he College of Business Administration and Dr. Fraricine Martinez as dean of s tudents. The creation of a general education package was another major accomplishment for t he university, h e said. T hanks to t he work of Dr. Don F unes and Dr. Patricia Seleski and h er committee, a major component of welcoming f reshmen and sophomores h as been completed, h e continued. " That's j ust an enormous, big piece of t he academic p lanning of t his i nstitution," he said. "I've clearly got t o say t hat was a main event."The y ear did not go by without i ts controversies and disappointments, however. Most notable in Stacy's mind was t he controversy over reported comments by s tate Sen. William Craven (R-Oceanside) t hat Latinos be required t o carry identification cards t o prove United S tates citizenship. " That was a major source of, I t hink, discomfort for t he folks a t t he campus and a lot of h urt feelings both ways," Stacy commented. " It was a reality t hat t he campus had t o address." "Another low-light, of course, was t he difficulty (at) t he campus in t he face of two election results. One was, of course, t he bond issue loss in J une, and our subsequent hope t hat i t would get on t he November ballot," Stacy continued. T he bond did not make November's ballot. "I would very f rankly say t o you t hat was t he most disappointing t hing of all of t he series of low-lights." The loss of t hat election has placed CSUSM in a t ight squeeze, according to Stacy. "The campus h as a momentum of growth and access," h e explained, "and t he new facilities a re so severely needed for t he integrity of academic programs and plus, simply, more s eats for more s tudents. So I really h ate t hat. I t h urts u s r ather badly both in t he kind of t he spirit of moving forward and i n... how (we) cope with t he absence of those new buildings." Temporary buildings a re on t heir way next fall to house needed space for faculty, which he called t he "Faculty Village." Already, a number of temporary buildings hold classes in both performing and fine a rts a t t he east end of campus across from University Services. "The other (low-light) was t he focus of a ttention around (Proposition) 187," Stacy added, "and yet I t hink t here were some good conversations held on t he campus and I t hink t he campus recognized t hat diversity means t here a re a ldt of voices, and t hat t here's dignity and integrity in a lot of voices." Despite t he problems posed by t hese low-lights, Stacy said h e believed t he campus addressed t he issues associated with t hem beautifully with events such as t he September debate on Proposition 187. The measure called for t he denial of social and medical services to illegal immigrants in California, and passed in t he November election. T he ability t o listen and u nderstand diverse points of See S TACY, page 3 �University receives largest donation in its history 'Thinking computers' will highlight national competition Dec. 16 Pittinghumans against computers, the fourth annual Loebner Prize Competition in Artificial Intelligence will attempt to answer t he question "Can computers think?" The competition, described by t he Wall Street Journal as a "ground breaking battle" will be held Dec. 16 at Cal State San Marcos. The program, which will begin at noon, includes a short lecture by distinguished computer expert Dr. Oliver G. Selfridge, followed by t he real-time competition from 1 to 4 p.m. The winner of t he competition will be announced a t 5 p.m. All events will take place in Academic Hall, room 206. In t he Loebner contest, judges — all members of the national media — "converse" with computer terminals, moving from terminal to terminal. Some of t he terminals are controlled by computer programs and some by hidden human confederates, also members of the media. For t he 1994 event, conversation a t each terminal is restricted to a single topic. After t he judges have conversed with all t he computers, they rank-order t he terminals from "least human" to "most human" and then t ry to guess which terminal is which. Prizes will be awarded this year to both t he "Most Human Computer" and t he "Most Human Human." Spectators will be able to view each conversation as it unfolds, to t ry their hand at a "mystery" terminal, and to complete their own rating forms. While this year's conversations will be restricted to certain topics, next year there will be no topic restrictions. This year t he author of t he winning software will receive $2,000 and a bronze medal. When a computer passes an unrestricted test, t he grand prize of $100,000 will be awarded and t he contest will be discontinued. The 1994 finalists are considerably stronger t han in previous years. Most come from t he mainstream Artificial Intelligence community in t he United States and Europe. Among the contestants are a 14-year-old student from one of this country's top prep schools and a team of eight programmers from England. The contest was inspired by t he British mathematician and computer pioneer Alan Turing. In 1950, Turing stated t hat when a computer cannot be distinguished from a person, in conversation using computer terminals, t he computer could be said to be "thinking" or intelligent. The competition is named a fter Dr. Hugh G. Loebner of New York City who funded the $100,000 challenge award. Cal State San Marcos received t he latgest single donation in its young history in a ceremony Dec. 5. Ella J . Thedinga of Rancho Bernardo pledged $500,000 t o f und an endowed scholarship a t CSUSM. Thedinga presented t he university with a $200,000 check, the first installment oft he endowment. The endowment will provide five $2,000 scholarships in 1995 when CSUSM admits i ts f irst freshman class. Having been associated with education for more t han f our decades, T hedinga wished t he "Ella J . Thedinga Scholarship Endowment" to be associated with t his historic class. When fully funded, t he endowment is expected t o provide 20 scholarships per year, in perpetu-r ity. Thedinga and her late husband, Dr. Ernest O. (Ted) Thedinga, were associated with t he University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. Dr. Thedinga was a professor and ultimately vice president for student services for many years. Mrs. T hedinga was a n e lementary school teacher as well as t he hostess for many student events over t he years. "Mrs. Thedinga cares deeply for students," said Dr. Bill Stacy, CSUSM president. "As a teacher, as a mentor, as a friend, she has always been closely allied with s tudents a nd s tudent services throughout her professional career. I t is because of t his love for students she established t his f und which will help hundreds of students in perpetuity.

Financial aid workshops offered Cal State San Marcos is holding financial aid workshops for students who are entering the university in fall 1995. The workshops will offer general financial aid information and guidance on completing a financial aid application form. Applicants may choose from workshops on J an. 7, 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. in ACD 102 or, J an. 23, 7 to 9 p.m. in the same location. These free workshops are sponsored by CSUSM's Financial Aid Office. No preregistration is required. Call 752-4850 for additional information. $25K grant awarded to Enrollment Cal State San Marcos has received a $25,000 allocation from t he CSU Chancellor's Office to assist in providing early notification to prospective students about admission and financial aid eligibility. P art of a $4 million fund established by t he CSU Board of Trustees, CSUSM received t he maximum amount available for this project. The funds will be used jointly by the offices of Enrollment Services and Financial Aid to purchase a laptop computer and software to take to local high schools and community colleges to enter application data and assess eligibility on site. A temporary position will also be funded to provide this service. Although the allocation is for one year, the purchase of t he equipment and software will make it possible to provide this service in t he future. New program seeks volunteers Do you have extra time on your hands? Do you want new challenges? Cal State San Marcos is initiating a program to bring volunteers onto the campus to provide services and expertise throughout t he university's offices and classrooms. Spearheaded by retired accounting professional Julie Heard, the program seeks to match the expertise of community volunteers with campus needs in what is intended to be a mutually beneficial experience. Volunteers will assist the university in carrying out its educational objectives while simultaneously benefitting from the many enriching experiences of the campus environment. The first volunteer positions to be recruited by Heard include: reader/researcher to assist students with visual or auditory impairments; test proctor to assist students with writing impairments in completing exams and to monitor exams; general office assistant to work in student affirmative action; fiscal/accounting assistant for the fiscal operations department; career resource librarian in the career center to assist student in job searches using library materials. "There are a lot of talented people in our local community — people who want to contribute their talents to someone who will appreciate their efforts," noted Heard, a former manager for the Internal Revenue Service who also coordinated approximately 1,000 volunteers for t he AARP's income tax assistance program for the elderly.

Spanish book center has world-wide appeal Reading is generally acknowledged to be the most powerful educational tool to develop literacy. However, the fastest growing segment of the population, Latinos, have only limited access to books in their primary language. Working on ways to remedy the problem, California State University, San Marcos is home to the only center in the world t hat focuses on books in Spanish for young readers. Cal State San Marcos's Center for the Study of Books in Spanish for Children and Adolescents, headed by Dr. Isabel Schon, collects and evaluates books in Spanish and books in English about Latinos from around the world. The center is unique in its global approach. While some Spanishspeaking countries have libraries th&t focus on literature of their own country, only Schon's center includes works in Spanish for young readers worldwide. The center annually sponsors a conference on Books in Spanish for Young Readers. Held Nov. 19 at the San Diego Convention Center, this year the 4th annual conference, drew-more t han 1500 teachers, librarians and others from across the United States, Mexico, South America and Spain. In addition, approximately 200 publishers and educational organizations, interested in tapping into this new and emerging market, exhibited their publications and programs. The two keynote speakers at the conference were Dr. David William Foster and Jose Emilio Pacheco. Foster is t he Regents' Professor of Spanish at Arizona State University, where he directs the Graduate Program in Spanish and is chair of the editorial committee of the Center for Latin American Studies. A well-known author and scholar, Foster has STACY, Pride file photo Dr. Isabel Schon is the director of Cal State San Marcos's Center for the Study of Books in Spanish for Children and Adolescents. numerous publications, literary translations and awards. He also served as a Fulbright scholar in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, and as an Inter-American Development Bank Professor in Chile. Dr. Foster's presentation focused on the importance of context and cultural characteristics in translations. He discussed the process of communicating and the importance of cultural context in accurate translations, especially when dealing with literature for young readers. Jose Emilio Pacheco has been a key literary figure in Mexico for more than 30 years. A renown poet, he is also respected for his translations and adaptations of dramatic works. He has won Mexico's National Drama Critics Award, the National Poetry Award from the state of Aquascalientes, t he Magda Donato Award, t he Villaurrutia Award, the Cultural Journalism National Award, the Malcolm Lowry Literary Essay Award the 1992Mexican National Literature Award for his collection of works. cont iued from front page view is part of what CSUSM is about, Stacy noted. "I think there's a sense t hat as we commit ourselves around here to achieving excellence through diversity, we want to keep a respectful dialogue on our table and I think we just must not shrink one tiny bit from our mission of achieving excellence through diversity," he concluded. "Indeed, I think we're going to have to be smarter about it and rtiore ruggedly determined to achieve excellence through diversity. There is a crassness, maybe a potential bitterness t hat is about, and we'll have to be very smart to keep on the table the legitimate ends of celebrating diversity, empowering it, achieving excellence (and) making sure we're better as a university." Pacheco discussed the importance of reading. He exhorted t he participants to do everything they can to help others enjoy the simple a rt of reading. He explained how readers, by engaging the imagination, can travel anywhere in t he world, within any time frame, and meet anyone they wish. Conference attendees also had the opportunity to interact with the two keynote speakers as well as more t han 35 other authors of books in Spanish for young readers. In "Meet the Author" sessions, participants talked with authors and illustrators from the United States, Mexico, Chile, Uruguay, Honduras and Argentina. Proceedings for this conference and the previous three conferences are available for $5 each (plus $1.50 for shipping the first book, and $.50 for each addition book) from the Center for the Study of Books in Spanish for Children and Adolescents; California State University, San Marcos; San Marcos, California 92096-0001.

But for many job h unters, these behaviors contradict one's traditional values and beliefs. Cultural influences often have significant effect on our ability to "break in" to professional fields. Many of us who have been raised outside of the dominant culture in American society have has to overcome some problems in this a rea. For example, as an Asian woman I have always had trouble making eye contact with authority figures because in my culture this is considered disrespectful.

Our priorities for t he rest of t he academic year include t he CSU Budget, t he CSU Master Plan, student fees and financial aid, student services and educational l/as equity, and alternative funding sources for our organization. If you are interested in issues surrounding t he student perspective in CSU systemwide policies and decisions, I would encourage you to get involved. We have a committee t hat discusses these issues.

The benefits �Do we really follow 'Mission V Shame on us! While we've been busy patting ourselves on the back, wallowing in the glow of the virtuosity of our liberal enlightenment, we have failed to realize we may be just a horde of self-righteous hypocrites, much like those t hat we profess to deplore! Convictions require consistency. No one has to "walk-the-walk" as well as "talk-the-talk" 24 hours a day — or he is living a lie! We may have unintentionally proven t hat our Mission Statement is more " fluff' than "stuff." While we find satisfaction in its idealistic rhetoric, we may feel application need only be conditional rather than universal. The Cal State San Marcos Mission Statement reads,"... [student are encouraged to] seek to understand human behavior, culture, values, and institutions ... [and will] focus on ... concerns of race, gender, and cultural d i v e r s i t y T h e key words are to understand, not to judge, but judgment of human behavior, culture, values and institutions appear to be made more often on this campus than does understanding! This claim is supported by our attitudes involving classmates and the more visible "Craven Controversy" which has been causing shockwaves recently on our campus. How many times have we privately or publicly dismissed, discounted, or even attacked, statements made by classmates t hat we are politically or philosophically opposed to? Probably more often than not, especially if the statements were made by someone not representing a cultural minority. The point is t hat the opinions of those who constitute the mainstream (i.e., white, middle-class, and/or male) warrant the same consideration as those coming from other segments of the social order. If we do not accept this premise, neither can we claim to be in support of the university's Mission Statement. A bigger danger lies in t hat by ignoring (or even worse, judging) the issues or concerns of any group, regardless of gender, class or race, we will only allow ill feelings to fester until simple issues of social concern become major social problems! While the initial call to remove any reference of Craven from the campus sounded 'Thanfc rational, t he same principle mentioned above applies. If the call to remove his name and bust had been accepted, at least - it would have illustrated t hat we are t rue to our convictions, no matter how faulty they may be. Unfortunately, t he mere refusal to attempt to understand what life experiences have led the senator to feel the way he does was not the end of the story. An additional commentmade on campus by a member of student government has lent support to my claim t hat we have acted more as hypocrites t han the "enlightened individuals" t hat t he Mission Statement promises to t urn us into. This student's statement seemed to imply t hat the justification for not approving a resolution calling for t he elimination of Craven's name from campus was financially motivated. The impression left was t hat t he university should not send a message t hat we reserve t he right to disagree with those who are in a position to help us. This rationale essentially expresses t hat convictions are conditional, and with aprice tag attached! Here is our dilemma: (1) We must stand consistent behind the convictions expressed in our Mission Statement and be tolerant of "all" social groups including t he mainstream; (2) we must be honest with ourselves and reject the total philosophy of t he Mission Statement if we cannot bring ourselves to listen to the concerns of all segments of society; or (3) we must edit t he Mission Statement to read t hat "we are willing to seek to understand only those whose behavior, culture and values wejudge as acceptable." The last alternative would be a moral, travesty. The second, although steeped in honesty, would be a cop out, but the first would allow us to once again walk with our heads held high.

According to Dr. Donald Hensrud, a preventive medicine specialist with the Mayo Clinic, personal fitness, nutrition and stress management are key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. However, the DayTimers survey finds t hat more than one-third ofAmerican workers exercise only once or twice a month or less, over half (53 percent) eat fast-food at least once a week and only 15 percent said they have been able to reduce stress at work. "With nearly two-thirds of the workforce (62 percent) admitting t hat they constantly feel rushed, things probably seem to be spinning out of control," noted Loren Hulber, Day-Timers president. "We encourage people to take t hat control back in order to live a healthier lifestyle." Experts say t hat a combination of writing down goals, using a reward system and incorporating activities into a daily schedule is critical to keeping people motivated toward achieveing healthy-minded goals. CSUSM to host prevention forum Student Health Services will be hosting the Annual Intercollegiate Drug and Alcohol Prevention Forum on the CSUSM campus on Friday, February 24,1995. This is a one-day conference designed for students and staff members to learn about current trends in drug and alcohol problems and prevention for the college population, and will involve over 100 participants from universities and community colleges throughout San Diego County. Volunteers are needed (CSUSM students and staff) to help with t he planning process and to serve as student ambassadors on the day of the event. To volunteer to be a p art of this exciting event, contact Susan Mendes, Coordinator, at Student Health Services, 752-4915. Student health board recruitment The Student Health Board (SHAB) at CSUSM is currently accepting student applications for board membership for the spring semester. Applications forms for these positions are available at Student Health Services. The purpose of the board is to act as patient advocates for the student population, to hear grievances, assess student health needs, and to make recommendations regarding health services offered and fees to be charged. Also, they serve as student leaders and role models and take an active role in promoting health education and participating in events on campus. SHAB members may receive sponsorship to attend regional and national health and leadership conferences. SHAB meetings are held every other Friday throughout the semester.

It is no wonder since everyone is so busy the last few weeks of t he semester. However, Wednesday, December 1, 1994, was World AIDS Day. Yes, AIDS is truly a global problem. An estimated 17 million persons world-wide have been infected with HIV since t he onset of t he pandemic and each day 6000 additional persons become infected. In t he United States as of J une 1994, t here have been 401,749 cases ofAIDS reported. The number of people who test positive for HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection is estimated t o be 1.5 million. "~ " I am often asked if we a re seeing many cases of AIDS a t Student Health Services. In t ruth, the answer is no and likewise, we don't know what percentage of college students t est positive for HIV. In San Diego County t here have been about 6000 AIDS cases and an estimated 50,000 people who are test positive for HIV. According to a study by t he Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the American College Health Association t here is an HIV infection r ate of 0.2% or one in 500 college students. Nationally, i t is estimated t hat between 25,000 and 35,000 college s tudents are infected with HIV. Women and children are t he group t hat is currently rising t he fastest in terms of percentage of BE A cases ofAIDS. This demonstrates f urther t hat HIV/AIDS is becoming a heterosexual problem; point college-age students need to pay attention to. Unfortunately, a t t he recent World Conference on HIV/AIDS, t he news related t o t reatment and a possible vaccine is not very encouraging. These statistics present both good and bad news. The good news is t hat t he r ate of HIV infection is about what you might see in t he general population and lower t han t he rates in high-risk groups such as homosexual males, IV d rug users or people attending STD clinics. The bad news is t hat i t exists and h as t he potential for serious spread in t he campus community. We also know risky behaviors exist on campuses due to the prevalence ofother STDs and unwanted pregnancies. This information underscores t he need to persuade college students to use condoms, limit t he number of t heir sexual p artners and otherwise reduce t heir risk of becoming infected. Once again prevention is t he best medicine. "Prevention ofHIV infection through education and interventions to help develop and maintain safe behaviors t hat will reduce t he risk of HIV transmissions should be a priority mission of all institutions of higher education," s tate t he authors of t he CDC study. Need I say more! GOOD Hi Volunteer. JL American Heart s t a | Association If you a re like many women, you may not be receiving all t he medical t ests you should. A recent Roper/Mycelex-7 survey polling 1,038 United States women ages 18 and older found t hat those who exclusively see a gynecologist versus a general practitioner as a primary physician receive more comprehensive annual exams. While 51 percent of women seeing internists received external (breast and abdominal) examinations, gynecologists performed these exams on 70 percent of t heir patients. Nearly twice as many women (68 percent versus 37 percent) received internal pelvic exams from gynecologists. Forty-two percent of women consulting an internist had a Pap smear, compared to t he 78 percent seeing a n ob/gyn. To avoid missing important screenings, Ramona I. Slupik, M.D., Northwestern University Medical School, advises: • Tell your doctor u p f ront t hat he or she is your "one and onlyw or it may be assumed another physician is giving certain tests. • I n addition to t he annual gynecological exam, expect checks of your blood pressure, weight, urine, cholesterol and pulse. • Asa safeguard, keep your own checklist of t ests performed. • Request a copy of your medical records to personally trackyour health history. CO detectors for the home Experts now say t hat carbon monoxide detectors are as important t o home safety as smoke detectors. Consider these facts: • According t o t he J ournal of t he American Medical Association (JAMA), carbon monoxide is t he No. 1 cause of poisoning death in t he U.S., responsible for 1,500 deaths and 10,000 illnesses each year. • Post Graduate Medicine reports t hat one t hird of all survivors of carbon monoxide poisoning have lasting memoiy deficits or personality changes. • Any home with a furnace, heater, fireplace, or appliance t hat operates on flammable fuel such as n atural gas, oil, wood, coal or kerosene is a potential candidate for indoor air pollution from improperly vented carbon monoxide. • Carbon monoxide can be detected. First Alert, for example, manufactures a b attery operated carbon monoxide detector t hat continues to operate even in t he event of a power outage.

U sing candid comments of s tudents t o describe l ife at CSUSM and t he other CSU campuses, authors Pat Dever and Margy Arthur have published an interesting reference book about t he CSU system. The authors gathered information for their 208-page book i n t he spring o f1994 after visiting each campus at least two times. The book provides a very positive narration of t he academics, activities and campus life at all t he CSU campuses. One goal of t he authors w as to inform t he public about t he many advantages available at t he CSU campuses. Dever said, "The CSU i s t he largest system higher education i n t he United States. CSUs such as CSU San Marcos (which s et a record i n quickly becominga fully accredited university) offer u nique opportunities t o students. Dr. Barry Munitz, Chancellor of T he CSU s ystem, described DISCOVER THE CSU as "a well researched, extremely informative book t hat will be an invaluable resource guide for p otential CSU s tudents. This i s exactly t he kind o f book that s tudents should consult before embarking on their college careers."

The students mainly ask, "Will I f it in here? What are t he other students like? What are t he housing options? How long will it take m e t o get a degree? Will I need a car? How hard is it to get the classes I want?" The book covers t hese concerns and more. P rospective C SU S an Marcos students are encouraged to tour the campus before applying.

Haynes' days have been since she started her campaign f or the CSUSM presidency. From Texas to San Diego to Long Beach, back to San Diego, then to Texas again. "I haven't had much time to think of all the next steps," Haynes said. She's been writing to-do lists for the sev- eral past weeks, but said she hasn't started anything yet. Making the transition from Houston to San Marcos, finding a place to live, will she buy a house or just rent? She said those are the things on her mind lately. Having to move is nothing new for her.

A fter the drinking related death of Cal State Chico student, Adrian Heideman, in Oct. 2000, the CSU system sought revisions in the alcohol policy of all campuses. Shortly after, the Substance Abuse Advisory Council was formed at CSUSM. Susan Mitchell, who was a member of the Substance Abuse Advisory Council when it formed, said that the CSU board of trustees disseminated information t hat r ecommended w hat World AIDS Day, a day dedicated to increasing awareness of HIV and AIDS, was commemorated yesterday.

(ASI) sent their Lobby Corps to Fullerton earlier this month where students from almost all 23 campuses in the California State University (CSU) system gathered to discuss issues like raising tuition fees and shared governance in the CSU. "It's a lot of hard work—it's not a vacation," said Erik Roper, vice president of external affairs for ASI. Roper and three other members of ASI traveled to Cal State Fullerton to represent the 414,000 students in the CSU system. With student fees raising over 30 percent this semester, the Lobby Corps promised to fight for lowering student fees. The Lobby Corps must "articulate compelling reasons for not raising fees," Roper said. He said that the CSU broke their promise to not raise fees over 10 percent in a year. Now the CSSA must work with other groups like the University of California (UC) system. He said the California constitution must be changed to protect students from excessive fee increases. Gov. Schwarzenegger will fund the school systems Janu- ary 2004 so the race is on for the Lobby Corps. The Lobby Corps promotes student welfare by influencing law making in California, and working with the CSU Board of Trustees. The 25 members of the Board of Trustees manage the CSU system. The Lobby Corps works to hammer out kinks in the CSU system. The students find what's wrong with the system, discuss it at California State Student Association (CSSA) conferences, and then lobby at state legislative meetings Photo courtesy of Erik Roper/457 ASI President Honey Folk (left) and VP of External Affairs Erik Roper (right) discuss matters at the C SSA See LOBBY CORPS, page 3 convention in Fullerton, Nov. 15.

After teaching in Texas for five years, Haynes wrote her dissertation in Cairo in 76\ "It was a very progressive time in Egypt," she said.

The university Provost, Robert Sheath said he has two main expectations for the president. One is that she needs to lead the campus forward as a well functioning collégial team. Second, he expects her to continually improve the schools standing in the community and improve community relationships. "Based on her experience at University of Houston — Victoria, she is well positioned to do both of these," Sheath said. "She showed all the attributes that we would want in a president " Sheath said he likes her philosophy to seek to understand and then be understood. "I hope all sectors of the campus can get behind her and support her and move us forward," Sheath added. CFA President for CSUSM George Diehr said he hopes Haynes will work with faculty in a "cooperative and collégial fashion." Diehr said he doesn't want her to have any preconceived notions about faculty workloads at CSUSM. "I hope she takes a hard look at the objective data that shows faculty at San Marcos have a heavier student load than faculty at most of our sister campuses," he said. "She should also appreciate that we spend about $7 million less on our faculty salaries and benefits than other CSU campuses of our size." Diehr said he wants to establish regular meetings with her and is concerned about her adherence to the Budget Supplemental Report Language. "Let's just see what happens," he said. Honey Folk, ASI president, said the environment at CSUSM is directly related to the president. She said the president should be open, honest and willing and provide access to education. "It's time to bring about the reality of the mission of the CSU," Folk said. Folk explained that CSUSM has a campus culture that values shared governance. "We demand to be included into the decision making process," she said. "I am very, very excited about having the opportunity during my term as president to participate in the selection of the university president, and to have influence which sets the tone for her future interaction with all students." �A LCOHOL from page 1 Assessing perception of alcohol and drug usage at CSUSM Assessing the extent of the problem on campus was one recommendation. The council administered the Core survey in the spring of 2002 to 3000 students, of which 585 responded. "The results show that Cal State San Marcos is below the national average for alcohol use," said Mitchell. # The four page survey; developed by the Core institute if Illinois, covers a wide range of issues regarding alcohol and substance abuse. Questions were asked concerning how students perceive drug and alcohol use among peers, and how students have been affected by their own usage.

Sub-Saharan Africa is the most affected region of the world with one in five adults now living with HIV/AIDS. An estimated 40 million people are living with HIV worldwide and more than 95 % of those live in low- and middle income countries, according to a report entitled "AIDS Epidemic Update 2003," released by the United Nations Joint Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The epidemic has manifested itself here as well. California has the second highest number of AIDS cases in the nation and San Diego County has the third highest number of AIDS cases in the state of California.

That money is used for student related activities, free concerts, food, childcare benefits, workshops, and other governmental recreational activities on campus. ASI provides students with interesting seminars as seen with alcohol awareness week, workshops such as car maintenance, speakers' series, and many other programs and services. ASI also provides movie tickets, NCTD bus passes 5-cent copies, stamps, and other services. At the beginning of the semester, ASI gave away parking vouchers. When questioned about the programs and services the ASI offers, ASI College of Arts and Sciences Representative Didi Lund said, "Programming and services we provide include everything from Leisure Courses to Intramural Sports, the student lounge to forums in which "ASI will continue to provide these Photo courtesy of www.csusm.edu/asi A rare moment away from their d esks A SI m embers left-right: Undergrad services as long as Rep Roy Lee, College of Business Admin Rep Nicole Rawski, VP of Com- we believe there munication Erin Dalman, VP of External Affairs Erik Roper, VP of Finance is student need for Crystal Folk, Executive VP John Gehris, College of Arts and S ciences Rep Alice Lynn, President Honey Folk, College of Arts and S ciences Rep Didi them." -Didi Lund, ASI Rep Lund, College of Education Rep Erick Gordon, College of Arts and S ciences Rep Mbarak Monololo, Childcare Rep Sylvester Brown, College of Business Admin Rep Adam Taylor, Post Bac.

The Visual and Performing Arts department has fun and upto-date disciplines that are unfortunately sometimes overlooked by students at Cal State San Marcos. The VPA building is located between the Science 2 and the University Hall buildings. Even though this is a relatively new school the facilities and equipment are up to speed. Something students may not know is that there are practice rooms where any student may play the piano, for free. If students want to learn how to play the piano, classes are available. The VPA department offers courses in just about any art subject you can think of. The disciplines are broken down into the following: arts and technology track, music track, visual arts track, theatre track and arts and education track. Within these tracks, they are able to integrate cultural arts and styles from around the world. The program is very hands on and theoretical, according to the VPA website. There is a Javanese Gamelan Ensemble, which teaches students in an organized manner, how to play the different instruments of Indonesia. This class mentions when music is played and for what reasons, such as dances and drama. This class may be repeated four times.

These were the exact words I uttered in frustration after getting off the phone with my insurance company. On Saturday I walked out to my car to find a huge dent in my front fender and no note. Supposedly, there weren't any witnesses. So, no one heard grinding metal? Or saw pieces of metal and plastic on the ground? Or someone fleeing the scene? I guess not because there was no note. It's called morals, a conscience, even a heart. We are instilled since we are little, if we make a mistake then we have to take the heat. So why is this any different? Statistics show that only 10 percent of people actually leave a note when they hit another car. So this guy or gal who hit my car, says by his actions, "yeah well, sorry for ya," and bails. Is this fair? Is it fair that aomeone should suffer the loss of possessions, property, a family member, on behalf of someone's ignorance? No absolutely not! It is not fair. I have come to a conclusion in all this, adults are just older, bigger kids. We do the very thing we tell kids not to do by not acknowledging our mistakes. Even though I'm venting, I am not worriedyeah I'm forking out 300 bucks now, but all I can say is what comes around goes around. On that same note, another quote comes to mind, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. * I am not saying that this person who hit my car will come out tomorrow tofindtheir car all banged up, no. What I am saying is that in some way or another if we do something that screws another fellow man out of something, than there will be consequences. I am just thankful that my car is driveable, that I wasn't hurt, and that I still have the car in my possession. I hope this article can instill appreciation in all our lives for the things that we do have. As for me, I will pay the $300 deductible and carry on with life. By: - You may not know it, but our lives are being controlled by a box. It is a box that portrays images and pictures of things that consume our minds. This box tells us what to buy, wear, and how to act in certain situations. This box is television — it provides us with entertainment while it warps our brains. I find that when I turn on the television, I spend most of the time flipping through the channels. I rarely find something that I watch from beginning to end. That is because it is hard to find something worth watching. Lstill, however, find myself turning that TV on with the remote in my hand. When I find something that I am interested in watching, it gets interrupted by commercials so I change the channel and continue my surfing. Television, which is a part Of most families' homes, feeds us information that shapes our society. This information includes sex Sex is the biggest seller and television eats it up.

W E N KVB P L E N T Y OF By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Ombudsman As we reach thefinalstretch for this semester, the pressure begins to build as term papers and final exams loom on the horizon. Now is the time where we try to pull the whole semester together and prove that we have learned from the lectures and studying. After we reach that frenzied peak, after the last paper is written and the last final completed, then we can finally relax and reflect on the O mbudsman's N otes accomplishment of having completed another semester. To those who are graduating at the end of this semester, those last papers and finals represent something sweeter. If there are no plans for furthering their education, fall graduates can look upon these papers and finals as the last vestiges of educational scrutiny for now they have their degree and are can move confi- dently into the world. If they plan to proceed with their education, fall graduates can face the spring semester as the beginning of that journey. With a shorter break between fail and spring, it is an easier jump into the post baccalaureate realm for the fall graduate. Most of all, it is just having the degree that matters to all students and the fall graduate enjoys that honor with a bit of uniqueness. I would like to end this column with some words on feedback. I have received feedback ranging from constructive criticism to juvenile ravings. I truly appreciate both styles, but I have a request. If «The Pride" causes some of you a great deal of pain to read, then please suggest what we can do to alleviate this pain. It is not our intention to instill a malaise upon the campus. Let me know what we can do better. Our goal is to cover stories that relate to our campus and our community. If we have failed in this task or have not exploited all story possibilities, I want to know what we need to do to improve this paper for next semester and into the future.

The purpose of this brief argument is to provide another consideration to the posters and mouse pads on campus that reflect the results of the Core survey. Used readily as both sustenance and in celebration, alcohol came to America with the first settlers in the seventeenth century. Indeed, psychologist Jeffery A. Schaler explains in his book, "Addiction is a Choice," that "Puritan ministers praised alcohol but denounced drunkenness." With that in mind, it is curious to consider the dichotomy that alcohol has become, how it has gone from being "praised" by ministers to the double edged sword of being revered as a social tool and at the same time despised for its destructive effects and its ease of abuse. It is clear that alcohol has an acceptance in our society that far exceeds any other mind-altering substance. Alcohol advertisements pervade the pages of magazines, commercials on television and billboards along the highways. Compared to tobacco, which had similar commercial appeal before its dangers were discovered and exploited, alcohol has emerged as the new champion of recreational intoxicants. However, despite the commercial appeal and the common usage of alcohol, there is a darker element to alcohol. Drunkenness is not a desirable quality to society. But drunkenness is an inevitable consequence of readily accessible alcohol. What constraint does society impose on the individual in order to avoid drunkenness? Society would dictate that ultimately the individual is accountable for his or her actions including the responsibility to avoid consuming alcohol in excess. It is here that alcohol's negativity becomes cloudy because if it is the individual's responsibility to regulate his or her own alcohol consumption, then how is it that there is a societal conception that an alcoholic drinks without self control? Schaler offers this explanation, "Voluntary human action is ultimately under conscious control . .. distinguished from an unconscious reflex or seizure, which is involuntary." Schaler is correct, human's think about their voluntary movements. Therefore, this is only one explanation for a drinkers' behavior -— it is a conscious, voluntary action, which is their responsibility. It is not alcohol that controls humans; rather it is humans' irresponsibly using alcohol that sparks this negativity with results such as the Temperance Movement, Prohibition, and Alcoholics Anonymous. Here is another consideration to the posters and mouse pads on campus that reflect the results of the Core survey. These results are accurate-numerically, but imply a connotation that limited alco- hol use by CSUSM students is favorable. The results are presented in a manner of influence which is similar to peer-pressure in the sense that the majority numbers are designed to instill self-doubt in those who are in the minority. Statistics are good for objective fact, but at an institute of higher learning and in this presentation, these statistics appear simplistic. Alcohol cannot be presented as a substance that somebody uses or does not use. With a substantial influence interwoven into the cultures of the world, alcohol use involves factors both internal and external that cannot be quantified by a simple survey. It is, therefore, naive to assume that the complexities of alcohol or the alcohol consumption by college students can be explained by the Core survey. It would likewise be a stretch to assume that college students would not challenge the results.

We hope to offer a lot of the movies we showcase in the festivals in your video library." Lee Ann Kim said Wednesday night at the reception for the presenters from the Mini Asian Film Festival. Kim, a local San Diego news anchor and the Executive Director for the Sand Diego Asian Film Foundation (SDAFF) beamed with joy and exuberance during the reception following the festival. She said that she is still working with KGTV but, "this is really my passion", working with the passionate group of artists and administrative staff at the SDAFF. It is easy to see why Kim is so passionate about what she does. The films shown at this recent festival: The six-minute "Vision Test", 10-minute "Dragon of Love", and 16 minute 3-D animated film, "Eternal Gaze," had poignant messages, unique artistic angles, and messages that linger in the memory as you walk away from the show. The documentary "Refugee" shown Wednesday, November 19, was 63 minutes long. The director, Spencer Nakasako, is an Emmy award winner. Nakasako has been traveling around the United States to different film festivals sharing this piece. Through this documentary he gives a fly on the wall view to audiences as he films the travel three boys took from their hardhitting home in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco, to their parents' homes in Asian Film Festival: The Animated Movie "Eternal Gaze " distraught Cambodia, overflowing with memories of war, torture, and terror.

Not all were serious films. The first two shorts, short independent films, presented were intriguing and somewhat comi- H . cal. Each allowed a look at racial issues through different lenses. The first, "Vision Test", was taken from the results of a phone survey which asked a variety of questions dealing with racial preference including who you would feel more comfortable with as president, for a boss, a wife for your son. "Dragon of Love" was a laugh out loud look at the exoticism of races and the expectations that arise in a biracial relationship. Viewing the 16 minute 3-D animation love child of director San Chen, also the Artistic Programmer for SDAFF, was a flash into another time, another person's mind and love for the art of creation. This film is an example of how "technology is empowering film makers like m yself' Chen said in an interview after the production. Working for three years with a variety of programs for one, two, and three-dimeiisional affects, Chen produced a black and white masterpiece, a dramatic cartoon delievered through artistic poetry in "Eternal Gaze". The films presented by the San Diego Asian Film Foundation are thought provoking, humorous, and challenge the standards set in cinema that consumes cinematic productions around the county. After viewing these three films and documentary I know it will be an adjustment to acclimate to the standards of Hollywood after entertaining the amusing, charming, and provocative methods used by creators and directors featured by the SDAFF. Urban Bush WomenTeaching at CSUSM By M ŒELLE WILLS Prick StaffWriter On Tuesday the 11th, the famous Urban Bush Women, Maria Bauman from Queens New York, Reverend Nia Eubanks from New Orleans, and Nora Chipaumire from Brooklyn New York taught a dance class at CSUSM. The previous day, on November 10th' they had given a performance excerpt from one of their famous works entitled "Hair Stories". Hair Stories is a performance about hair, and how it relates to personal, and social images of the way that we interpret beauty, class, and our own sense of self-worth. After having seen the performance, students seemed excited to be able to learn a dance from the Urban Bush Women themselves, and eagerly moved out onto the dance floor. With energy and style Reverend Eubanks lead the class, while Bauman, and Chipaumire helped to show students how to move. Reverend Eubanks began the class by allowing the students to introduce themselves to each other. She taught students a call and response method from Ghana, Africa. She would call out "Ago", meaning "are you listening?" and the students would respond by shouting back "Ame"', which means, "Yes I am!" While warming up, students were shown how to make a "chalice" of energy over their heads, then were told to release that energy by bringing their hands slowly back down the sides of URBAN BUSH WOMEN: Hair Stories their bodies. Eubanks had them bring their hands up to the front of the room, and say, "I offer peace, I offer love". As the warm-up became more complex, she encouraged students by telling them that they were doing a good job, and reminded them to smile, and have f un. She encouraged them to let go, and move without inhibitions, and at orie point called out See URBAN BUSH, page 12 �••• SELL YOUR BOOKS FOR CASH NOW We have the largest buyback list, Barriett: Sell your books at The University Store Calculus for Business Econ Life $58.00 Myers: Psychology: Myers In Modules $50.50 Bilistein: Problem Solving Approach Math Elem School Teachers $48.25 At our tent at Founders Plaza starting Dushkin: American History Vol. 2 $12.25 HOLIDAY SHOPPING MADE EASY ^s^ Jwfc The University Store has hundreds of gift ideas for family and friends, Get a coupon good toward any t purchase at • The University f Store when you sell your books.* Free shoulder tote bag with any $25 purchase of general book titles for all ages.

The PG rating allows people of all ages to enjoy this semi-humorous and exciting tale of what can Photo Courtesy of Bruce Mc Broom happen to a family on the way to vacation. Another Disney inspired movie from its crowd drawing ride, Haunted Mansion offers few comical moments, otherwise, the ride is a much better and more thrilling experience than the movie.

Murphy makes plans for a family weekend that is interrupted by a "20 minute stop" to a prospective client, the mansion known as Gracie Manor. Obsessed with his high quality shoes, Jim leads the Evers family into the ancient looking grounds of the colossal mansion, bringing in an unwanted over emphasized salesman's smile and oversold enthusiasm to the residents, both living and dead. The plot slowly develops, selectively allowing for to details from the ride, Murphy travels down familiar hallways layered in special ghostly effects alluding to the potential fear that could have made is wrong, shake it anyways! Just try". Most of the dance movements were low to the ground, and seemed to be a mixture of African, and Jazz. There were a lot of body rolls, shimmying, and body angles in the movements of the dance. The students seemed to be having a lot of f un. The following Thursday, the class met again, and opened by this movie a blockbuster hit. Receiving guidance from Madame Leota, a greenish foreboding talking head inside of a cheap crystal ball, Murphy tackles the nerve rattling maze of the Haunted Mansion with a residual loss of memory from The Nutty Professor to rescue his wife from a fatal mistake. The children offer most of the entertainment aside from that of the singing busts, the most comical scene from the movie. The sweet sarcasm delivered by new comer Aree Davis, juxtaposed with the innocence and trepidations of Marc John Jefferies added a well needed humorous lift to the otherwise flat movie. The ominous Ramsley (Stamp) deepens the fearfulness of the mansion. The hollowness of his sunken eyes, wild, grey, thinning locks and warning tone strengthen the impact of this supporting character's discussing the "Hair Stories" performance, and the class taught by Reverend Eubanks. I interviewed some of the students, and this is what they had to say about the experience: Teresa Francis, a history major believes that it was "a celebration of womanhood." Ilene Wood, and social sciences major, said, "I was drawn into the Photo Courtesy of Bruce Mc Broom Master Gracey and his butler, Ramsley. role.

There seems to be no reason involved in naming a film 'American.' For example, in 2006, they awarded United 93 as one of the bestfilmsof the year. Yet, a British director, Paul Greengrass, made it. This year they awarded The Lord of the Rings as one of the best fantasyfilms,but American Peter Jackson made it in New Zealand. Therefore, it must not be the director or location. This works until one considers The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. It was set in America and stars film star Clint Eastwood, and directed by Italian Sergio Leone. Though it is a majority of critic consider it one of the bestfilmsever made, the AFI have never recognized it.

We have reached Let us dig deeper, shall we? A lot 2,000 feet. Keep digging. When you look back on past holidays, what do you see? What do you feel? What do you think? I remember the times that I have spent with my family. I remember waking up early and eating a generous portion of my mom's French toast and scrambled eggs with my brother. I remember gathering with my family and pets. I think about the times I spent watching old holiday movies at my nana's house eating her freshly made bread. I remember the time I woke up on Dec. 24th in Atlanta, Georiga, in my dad's house, and was in San Diego, California, at my mom's house by night fall. We have not hit the bottom yet. Keep digging. So I say to all of the naysayers, who say the holidays are going to be miserable because America does not have the money. Money was never the key ingredient anyway. Spending time with others is what was always and will always be important. We have reached pay dirt.

In a nationalfinancialcrisis, secure jobs are scarce and the importance of higher education becomes a sought-after valued asset. Refusing eligible students in these times seems cruel and heartless. But maybe, the ultimate price of our education will suffer if there is no change implicated to adapt to the current slumping nances of the CSU system. The lack of budget has influenced Image courtesy of csuci.edu CSUSM in a negative way. As if a of deeper m i d - y e a r college student's life isn't difficult cuts and no expectation that the state enough with work, paying rent, and trying to registerforclasses, now he must deal with the evident suffering of the CSU system. Science labs were cut even when the class was already full and had wait listed students. Overall, fewer classes are offered, making it very difficult for graduating seniors to complete their last units. A recent rumor has been mentioned that the number of faculty copiers has been limited, urging teachers to tell their students to print out class handouts at home rather than having teachers provide them in class. Adapting to these changes is a necessity for the success of current students, but I believe a financial reform is needed before the refusing admittance to eligible, ambitious students. Farewell from the Managing Editor BY BEN ROFFEE Managing Editor Dear Readers, As we approach the end of the semester and the Pride's operations wind to a close, we are called upon to reflect on the events and stories that have come to define this past semester. In just a few short months, our country seemed in quite a rush to make history and CSUSM definitely acted in part. Over the course of this brief span of time I have had the distinct honor and privilege of being a part of a team dedicated to reporting on this historic period through the perspective of a college campus. Even with all of the passion for journalism in the world, it is impossible to have a successful paper without chemistry in the newsroom. The editors and staff here at the Pride are as much my colleagues as they are my friends, and without their support and comical distractions I doubt I could have ever kept my sanity. There is no other group of people I can think of that I 'd rather spend the countless frustrated and weary hours with than with thè people I've been fortunate to call my coworkers for the last year and a half. Their tireless dedication to keeping this ship afloat deserves much more thanks than I can give and should command the respect of all of you. A special thanks goes out to Viri, who filled some big shoes and taught me more than I could ever want to know about this craft. It is likely that I wont serve as an editor, but you can still expect to see me floating around the Pride. See you next semester, CSUSM.

The team currently in second place in the Lakers division, behind the Lakers, is the Phoenix Suns. They'll fade.

Though the Lakers lost to the Celtics in the NBA finals last season, I don't foresee that happening again. The Celtics remain very impressive and have a star-studded roster themselves, but the Lakers trump card is Bryant. Yes, he did play in the finals last year when the Celtics won, but he was crippled by injuries and has since had surgery to remedy his ailments. He is much healthier now and, barring injury, will prove again that he is unstoppable at full strength. Due to their impressive team, lack of competition and possessing the best individual player in the league, the Los Angeles Lakers will overwhelm the NBA this season. Their nearly flawless start to the season is proof of their superiority. Have they played weak opponents? No, so far they have simply dominated what is a mostly mediocre league.

If she to address the president with any doesn't know the answer, she'll question, concern, or sugges- make a note to find out the infor- mation and get back to the faculty with it," said McDaniel. "Sometimes faculty need to express frustration, confusion, and even anger about something." The financial crisis' impact on the California State University budget aims to be an important topic of discussion in the faculty open forum. "A good example is the current budget situation. The open forum is an invitation to express whatever you want to the president. She needs and wants to hear from faculty. It helps her to see the faculty's perspective, which may well be different from her own as the chief administrator of the campus. It also allows faculty to hear the administrator's perspective. So it can be a great two-way learning experience," said McDaniel. McDaniel also encourages faculty to attend the faculty open forum. "No question is too big or too small." He then explained the long and tedious process of creating the organization. Guest speaker Chief Information Officer Wayne Veres followed Morris. "Everything is changing. Sometimes I dread or enjoy this part of my career," said Veres. Veres then gave a brief history of the Information Technology at CSUSM including the school's first three computers nicknamed, Liberty, Justice, and Freedom. One student asked Veres what some of the hot IT sectors that students should consider. " That's a good question. This online offline thing is a good thing. I think [Enterprise Resource Planning] systems...I hate them even though I shouldn't say it because the CSU system has invested heavily on it are not the way to go.

"Get to know the faculty. There are only seven MIS f aculty members and each of them should be able to call you by your first name," said Leu. He then explained MIS major requirements and other CoBA related statistics. The meeting ended with a raffle. The r affle included an iPod, external hard drive enclosure, laptop c arrying bags, and even a woman's purse that several male students politely declined. "MIS Society is a bridge to link MIS majors to potential employers and will be good for our school," said Senior Business Major Wei Ming Lin. From FORUM, page 1 From MIS, page 1 of CSUSM.

Vegetarian holidays can make for a new healthy holiday tradition BY SANDRA CHALMERS Pride Staff Writer Some of the best things about t he holidays are family, g ifts and food, but for others the traditional meal of turkey with mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce may not be the desired mouth watering festive meal for the holidays. Vegetarians are transforming an ancient pilgrim inspired meal into a newborn culinary delight with new creative dishes that offer health perks. And in a society prone to obesity and hypertension, maybe a break f rom the heavy cholesterol meats for the holidays can be a wise step toward a healthier lifestyle. Vegetarians do not eat any meat products such as chicken, beef, or pork but do consume dairy products, not to be confused with vegans that do not eat any animal products such as eggs, cheese or milk. During the holiday season, a dinner without turkey or a ham can seem bleak but a vegetarian holiday dinner offers great meat alternatives that any family can enjoy. Carrie Kressor, a Kinesiology major, has been a vegetarian her entire life, "I choose to do it for health reasons and it is more beneficial for the environment, I personally don't liking thinking about eating a dead animal." A popular turkey substitute for vegetarians is tofurkey, a faux turkey made of t ofu often breaded with a vegetarian stuff- ing of vegetables and whole grains. "We do have tofurkey but I personally don't like it that much. But we always have a ton of different casseroles and yummy recipes and of course we have the traditional cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie," Kressor said. "Some of my family is actually vegetarians as well, but the majority are not. When we get together there really aren't any problems, they have their turkey, but we always have casseroles and other dishes that we can eat. It's still like anybody else's Thanksgiving...I just simply don't eat the meat." Incorporating the vegetables of the season, like squash and pumpkin, as main ingredients for side dishes or casseroles allows for creative alternatives to the traditional holiday sides. "Thinking about all of the turkey disasters I've heard about definitely makes me think that preparing several casseroles is much easier than cooking a turkey for hours," Kressor said. According to an article in FDA Consumer, data strongly shows that vegetarians are at a lesser risk for obesity, lung cancer, and alcoholism. There is also evidence that risk for hypertension, coronary artery disease, type II diabetes and gallstones are significantly lower. The USDA dietary guidelines for Americans states; "Most Americans of all ages eat fewer than the recommended numbers of serving of grain products, vegetables, and f ruits even though consumption of these foods is associated with a substantially lower risk for chronic diseases, including certain types of cancer." So when many are dreading the thought of consuming high calorie foods or high cholesterol foods, maybe a vegetarian dinner for the holidays can be a health alternative to keep the holiday weight off. Jimbo's, Trader Joe's and even Costco now carry more vegetarian food that is great tasting and isn't too pricey.

From January until May, 60 of us met twice ar week to learn about the Olympics, the venues, Beijing, and to listen to professional journalists who had covered the Games in the past. In April, BOCOG sent us our assignments, and I was set to work in the Mixed Zone of the NIS, a room located just off the field of play where print journalists hailing from publications around the world would gather to interview the athletes and coaches after competition. old hutong area and saw pandas at the zoo.

Photo by Kelly Corrigan My friends stuck to the Chinese entryway directly across the way. After several unrecognizable but thrilled American athletes walked by, the men's basketball team appeared. There was Kobe with Jason Kidd, LeBron James and everyone else. Then the women's basketball team appeared. Having played basketball in high school, Lisa Leslie is my hero. Seeing Kobe was exciting enough, then she walked up the stairs. "Lisa. Lisa!" I shouted. She looked and I was stunned. She smiled and kind of laughed then asked me how I was. "Good!" I said. "Good luck!" To see Lisa and Kobe within moments of each other was incredible. Meanwhile, people from every nation competing in the Games began to accumulate. My Chinese friends on the opposite end of the stadium greeted, and in some cases touched and took pictures with, the Chinese athletes. I staggered in and out of the line of people, going around the stadium seven or eight times, until the announcing voice had called every nation's name and the line was ready, making its way to the Bird's Nest. Later that night, my Chinese friends and I discussed how unprepared we were for that experience. When we woke up that morning, we thought we'd be watching the ceremony on television and then we saw it happen. Of our two-month stay in Beijing, and the two weeks spent walking among the best athletes in the world while witnessing journalists pursue stories, that night in the NIS was euphoric beyond the word's own meaning.

Like most start up breweries, the company outgrew available capacity and moved to Petaluma. Currently, the company distributes brew throughout 20 states.

The ale leaves a thick coating of wholesome goodness before descending below deck. The beer's boldness should pair well with spicy and flavorful foods. "It's got a little bit of sourness to it.

Right as one walks in the door, the two pie cases are visible, including the traditional turning glass style. They have a wide variety of fruit and cream pies priced whole and by the slice. Though they are all tasty, be sure to ask which are the freshest. Though it may not be the most gourmet food at Debbie's Restaurant and Pie Shop, the customers keep coming back for the restaurant's quality food and excellent service. The food is well done and the prices are fair. Debbie's is a great place to go for a taste of home and a quick bite that will not cost too * much. Debbie's Restaurant and Pie Shop is located on Nordahl Drive iñ San Marcos acrossfromthe Wal-Mart Plaza. The restaurant is in a tight spot in a strip mall with window's boasting festive décor. It is only a few minutes from campus and worth the short drive for diner and home-style meals. Though it looks unimpressive from the outside, inside Debbie's is afineplace to eat. The inside is tan and pale and there is not a great amount of room. They also cater to an older crowd, as seen in their early bird specials and senior's menu. Yet, despite what looks like an unassuming place to eat, the food at Debbie's is fantastic. They serve a mix of diner and home-style food all day long. Though they have limited hours, the food is a great value any time of the day. First, breakfast classics donerightstock the menu. Diners can enjoy a selection of combo plates or omelets that are very tasty. The hash browns are perfectly crisp and flavorful and go good with any of the morning meals served all day.

Prop. 227 bans state-supported bilingual education, but it doesn't prevent individual school districts from starting their own programs. A Books f or t he Children booth will be set up in the commons area every Monday from noon to 3 PM. and Wednesday from 11 am. to 2 PM. until the goal is reached, Flores said.

But, for those with physical disabilities, it has been a particularly trying time. First, there was the Tuesday when an October brush fire behind t he s chool f orced an e vacuation of t he c ampus. Then, there was the power outage that left the ACD building powerless for an entire day and most of the night . T hough c ampus s ecurity coped ably with both crises, it left some of the 152 s tudents who are registered w ith CSUSM's Disabled S tudent Services (DSS) wondering about the whatifs. One of them, Shirley Taylor, w ho n eeds a cane to walk and a little car to carry her books, asks, "What do you do when the elevator is out and there is no one to help you reach your class on t he third floor? What if the building is on fire? How are the disabled students going to get down if the elevator is out?" Taylor says she is particularly worried a bout t he elevator. "Last semester, the elevator in ACD building was out for about f our days, a nd I missed my classes because the elevator is the only way I can get to the third floor," she says. Taylor adds t hat CSUSM's Disabled Student Services Department does not have sufficient staff to provide escort service to classrooms in times of outages. John Segoria, coordinator of the Disabled Student Services, says that in a situations where the elevator or the power is out, DSS w arns s tudents w ith classes in that particular building not to come or to go to another classroom if the class has Karas, vice president of Academic Affairs, Steve Lilly, dean of the College of Education, and Victor Rocha, dean of the College of Arts and Science, they were given a continental breakfast accompanied by a slide show on Southern California habitats and wildlife. Teachers were invited to an exploratorium in The Dome to see demonstrations by student t eachers. They i ncluded a "Foamy Soda" demonstration intended to show K-12 students the principles of effervescence in the bubbling of soda pop; a presentation on how to make words magically appear on paper; and a display on the force of gravity on inanimate objects. Another, the Tornado Tube, which featured two, two-liter bottles joined head to head and filled with colored water, demonstrated the movement of water v ortexes in t ornadoes, whirlpools and waterspouts. Presenter Shawn Reynante said she was "amazed at the interest and how science can be so much fun." Other presentations were more technical. One on aerodynamics used Bernoulli's Principle to show how planes take advantage of air pressure to create lift and how a ping pong ball could b e s uspended in mid-air by using a blow dryer. Lorin Scott, a student at L.R. Green Elementary School in Escondido, said it was her favorite exhibit, but added that t he e ntire c onference was "pretty cool cause we get to see a lot of experiments and how they work." The exploratorium was followed by teaching sessions for would-be science teachers. In one, on edible tectonics, Milky Way bars were used to show the concept of plate tectonics f or K-6 g raders. A nother, "Making Music with Goblets," explored the concepts of pitch and tone, while "Butterflies/ Las Mariposas" showed teachers how to introduce students to insects. Some CSUSM p rofessors participated in t he sessions, including Joe Keating from the College of Education and Graham E. Oberem and Paul G. Jasien from the College of Arts and Sciences. Jasien said he has been involved in K-12 education since 1991-1992. "K-12 science education is extremely important and a lot of teachers in t he College of Arts and Sciences are dedicated . continued from page 1 to teacher training," he said, adding that CSUSM students, "whatever basic science they're going to learn, they'll learn in the College of Arts and Sciences and then they'll learn to apply it in the College of Education." The conference, he added, was a direct result of the cooperation between t he two colleges. But the sessions by no means were limited to CSUSM participants. Lego land representatives invited teachers to take school field t rips to t he new park in Carlsbad. Sea World officials held a workshop exploring the different species of w hales, u sing an i nflatable killer whale. "I'm impressed with all of the different ideas about how to t each s cience," s aid W alt Brame, a student teacher. "As a future teacher, it makes me excited about taking what I've seen in the presentations into the classroom. This is motivating. Local environmental activist Bob Faught perhaps summed up the conference when he told the aspirants, "There is hope... You're our hope... You have the power t o teach children, about the mistakes of the past. been moved. "We video and audio tape c lasses f or s tudents who missed the class. We even turn in some of their homework and assignments," he adds. Taylor also complains that there are only a few spots for disabled students in the nearest staff parking lot. Other lots, she a dds, a re much f urther from the class buildings. According to Segoria, t he school has the requisite number of disabled parking spaces required by law, and t hat not all t he 152 disabled s tudents drive a car to school. Transportation from parking lot to campus is another p roblem, according to Taylor. "When I made an appointment t o get my transportation from my car to my classes, I was informed by Mr. Segoria t hat CSUSM did not provide any mobility for the disabled students during regular, or any, class time," she adds. Since CSUSM is not as big as San Diego State University or a community College, Segoria says, DSS is not required t o help students with their transportation, nor is it legally responsible to bring people into the campus from the parking lots. "But as the school continues t o grow, we will re-evaluate that," he adds. Both the overall number of s tudents at CSUSM and t he number of those with disabilities are increasing every semester. Taylor says the university should at least make it easier for disabled students to move Photo by Alex Romo within t he campus.

"I only wish I could do more to give back to this community," says Haro, CSUSM's assistant to t he Vice president for learning assistance programs. Haro, a product of t he CSU system himself, understands the importance of CSUSM's presence in the community and hopes t o develop ways t o recruit, assist and retain f uture CSUSM students. His current responsibilities include reviewing programs such as t he Writing Center, Math Center, Educational Opportunity Program (EOP), ASPIRE (Achieve Successful Performance Intensify Reliability Effort) and Disabled Student Services in order t o develop ways for students to get t he most out of t he university. He and a graduate assistant from SDSU are comparing t hese programs and services to those successfully used in other colleges. "Ultimately, we are trying to determine how we can create a one-stop center where students can come t o get any form of assistance they will need along their way to graduation," Haro says. Haro takes pride in both the Hispanic Faculty and Staff Association, which h e founded upon his arrival at CSUSM in 1990, and t he "I'm Going to College" program, which was heavily influenced by his own experiences as a fourth grader. The program involves groups of Latino students f rom local elementary schools who are brought to t he CSUSM campus for a special tour. Haro and other volunteers explain to those students how to apply for admission, get financial aid, buy textbooks and other important aspects of college life. While working to coordinate these programs, Haro is a s tudent himself in t he School of E ducation at Harvard University. Since h e started his Ph.D. program there in 1992, h e has studied under several prominent academics in t he field of education,including Arthur Levine and Henry Rosovsky. Haro credits t he administration of CSUSM with being very supportive and understanding during t he absences h e had t o incur while completing his coursework at Harvard. Upon graduation, which h e hopes will be next J une, h e will hold a doctorate in Education Administration, Planning and Social Policy. Throughout his work at Harvard, Haro's focus has been on higher education. His dissertation will provide an analysis of institutional quality for a small, private u niversity in t he M exican s tate of Z acatecas, La Universidad Autonomia Fresnillo. Rather than comparing it t o universities in t he United States, Haro says, h e is trying to determine how quality is defined within t he college itself.

Students wishing to pay tuition, parking, and financial holds, or to receive emergency loans and paychecks, find t he waittongduring peak times such as two weeks prior to the start of the semester and two weeks after. Fiscal Operations, p art of S tudent Financial Services, which encompasses Financial Aid Business Operations, Accounts Receivable, and the Cashiers Office, has tried to get the word out to students that some business transactions can be taken care of without waiting in line. They have enlisted the help of four business students to help resolve this customer service problem. The student consulting team working with Fiscal Operations is part of t he College of Business Administration's Senior Experience program. All undergraduate business students complete this two-semester course graduation r equirement. According to Dr. Alan Omens who heads the Senior Experience, the objective of this program is to provide students an opportunity to integrate their classroom knowledge in real-world problem solving situations. Well known o rganizations such as QUALCOMM, Sony Electronics, Sea World San Diego, Hewlett Packard, LEGOLAND California, and t he San Diego Police Department have all had student consulting teamsfromCSUSM. The four students involved in the project began the summer semester by learning that the Mission Statement for Administrative Services reflects that of any business wanting to satisfy its consumers: "Building Excellence in Resource Management and Customer Service." In addition, the Convocation Address by President Gonzalez on August 26 also states that one of the four goals he has set for the university this year involves 'accountability,' wherein the effort to continue customer-centered o perations includes developing and implementing a plan to improve awareness and delivery of customer service. With this in mind, Student Financial Services offers five methods of tuition payment to students: credit card payment using the Smart System; credit carcl number or check deposited in the on-campus drop box; mail-in check; ATM/debit card payment; and cash payment. The latter two payment options must be done in the Cashiers Office. A significant number of students however, t hat have credit cards and checking accounts, still stand in line. The consulting team interviewed students standing in line and discovered that some students are not aware of all payment options; others pay in person to obtain a receipt. According to Geri Hilton, an employee of Financial Aid JAMAICA SPRING BREAK 1999 M O N T E G O BAY Q uality H otel: Q u a d - $ 699 p /p C o r a l Cliff: Triple - $ 709 p / p O C H O RIOS Turtle B e a c h Towers/2 B drm. a pt.: 6 p ersons - $ 699 p /p C o m f o r t Sultes/2 B drm. c o n d o : 6 p ersons - $ 709 p / p Business Operations, procrastination is a human trait when it comes to paying bills, therefore requiring a trip to the Cashiers Office. Some students, according to Hilton, are waiting on paychecks, others on moneyfromparents, in order to make payment. Since the reasons for paying in person are diverse, in order to decrease the workload in the Cashiers Office and improve the time students stand in line, many issues were looked at. The Senior Experience team members benchmarked other college campuses in order to study efficiencies and inefficiencies related to CSUSM Fiscal Operations. Some colleges and universities offer Internet payment with well designed Web pages for easy and quick use as well as up-to-date fee deadline information. Some universities have kiosks for one stop shopping. Palomar College does not allow in-person payments for registration fees at all. Furthermore, after the start of the semester, Palomar students can make all payments - registration a djustment payments (adding classes), parking, I.D., (including having photo taken) in the Student Union Building. Similarly, Mesa College locates all their student services buildings i n one location on campus for student convenience. It is unfortunate that CSUSM students must go to the 5th floor Craven Hall for Ad- missions and Records, 4th floor Craven Hall for Financial Aid, 3rd floor Craven Hall for Cashiers Office, and drive to the Campus Security building to have their I.D. picture made. Since CSUSM is a young campus and is experiencing 'growing pains,' now is a good time to work on the problems that will only become larger if awareness and delivery of customer service is ignored. The one thing the consulting students have been impressed with, is how emphatic the Director of Fiscal Operations and the Assistant Director of Student Financial Services are about providing the best possible customer service for the students. This is the reason for submitting this business situation to Senior Experience. And for the Senior Experience students, it has been a great opportunity to help students and future students to follow;The project allowed them to give something back to the university with the rewards of making t he campus a better place to learn. Any students wishing to attend the thirty-minute presentation on Fiscal Operations are welcome. The presentation is Wednesday December 9, 4:30 p.m. in Commons 206.

Winter in North County can mean temperatures below 70 during the day and almost always below 50 at night. It's a prescription made for a cold or the flu. But there are some things you can do t o reduce the odds of suffering either one. Here are some hints from doctors: (1) Keep at least three feet away f rom c oughers a nd sneezers. That's t he distance airborne droplets from coughs and sneezes can t ravel. If droplet reaches you, you could wake up sick a few days later. (2) Be careful about prolonged s tays in c losed-in, crowded spaces. Rooms with no or poor air circulation are the likeliest spots t o pick u p cold viruses. Avoid them like the plague. (3) Drink plenty of fluids. Liquids, particularly hot liquids, soothe the throat and help Pride Staff Writer loosen secretions, relieving nasal congestion. "Clinical studies show that water don't necessaryflushout cold germs, but it moistens your nasal and respiratory m embranes, which when dehydrated, can easily invite and retain germs," says Dr. Karen Nicholson, director of CSUSM Health Services. Try for eight glasses of water, fruit juices or other non-caffeinated fluids every day. (4) Get a good night's sleep. This keeps your immune cells powered up, according to research conducted at the Veterans Administration's San Diego Healthcare System. (5) Take vitamins C and E. Although there is no conclusive evidence that they can prevent colds, several studies suggest that they may slightly reduce t he d uration and severity of symptoms. Consult your doctor about how much of either vitamin is best for you. (6) Exercise. Thirty to 6 0 minutes of moderate exercise, such as walking, jogging, bicycling or swimming at least three t imes a week can help build your resistance to colds. (7) Wash your hands often and avoid touching your face. Most colds a re t ransmitted through indirect physical contact. For instance, a sick person who transfers germs from nose to hands can contaminate any object he touches. Others who handle such an object and then rub their own noses or eyes can get infected. (8) Have chicken soup for lunch or dinner. Warm fluids are h elpful in relieving cold symptoms and can act as expectorants. Chicken soups are rich with protein, vitamins and minerals, all of which are helpful in fighting cold germs. (9) Keep your .stress level down. (10) Keep your room humidity moderate to high. (11) Aim for a balanced diet. According to the American College Health Association's p ublication, "Managing t he Common Cold," m ost cold m edications a re a imed at symptom relief and immune system support. There is no medicine that directly attacks the cold virus. But, it adds, every healthy person has an immune system capable of producing cells specifically able to destroy cold viruses. If you catch a cold, ACHA suggests t he following t reatments: 1) Take aspirin, ibuprofen or acetaminophen to ease aches and pains and to lower fever. 3) Inhale warm, moist air to soothe inflamed mucous membranes, You can do this by taking showers, putting a pan of water on your bedroom radiator or by using a cool-mist humidifier. 4) Use disposable tissues instead of h andkerchiefs. Research has shown that cold viruses can survive for hours on handkerchiefs. 5) Get plenty of rest. Your body heeds the time to allow you to recover. 6) Gargle with salt water every four hours to help reduce swelling in your throat. Use one teaspoon of salt in a large glass of warm water. 7) Don't smoke.

In addition to this misery, he will get away with not providing health benefits to long term part-time faculty. Our professors deserve to be treated fairly. I want my degree f rom CSUSM to be looked upon with admiration. This is not possible if the school allows the quality of instruction to plummet due to over-working and underpaying their faculty. The students will end u p paying t he u ltimate price. I am a recent a lumni of CSUSM. My degree was one of the first nine given in the Communication major. The only reason I took a risk and chose to go to a school that had a promising, yet un-established existing reputation and gamble with a new degree program, was due to the incredibly high caliber of instruction I knew I would get in s mall classes, taught by actual Ph.D's. It is incredibly rare to be taught by a t enured, experi- enced professor. At CSUSM you have t hat luxury. However, this will all change if these talented individuals are driven away from CSUSM because they are getting paid less than instructors at other CSU's. The only reason I came and several others come to CSUSM is because of t he r eputation t hat t hese i nstructors h ave built. I want my degree to be recognized as the culmination of knowledge gained under t he tutelage of some of t he best scholars in the filed of Communication. I know you want the same.

Don't ask for an antibiotic unless your doctor recommends one. Colds and several flu strains a re o ften t hought t o be t he same because their symptoms are similar.

Registratm And A d m i n i s ^ ^ Major questions surface on campus as students rush to register for Spring 2003 classes. fair to other students. Why don't they open school for winter and summer sessions for the classes that are harder to get during the regular semester?" By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff Writer Cal State University San Marcos is a growing school. The projected growth for the future is to be as big a campus as UCLA. This idea is very feasible, considering the fact that CSUSM has more land than SDSU, which houses over 33,000 students to date. CSUSM currently has just fewer than 7,000 students enrolled for the Fall 2002 semester and the expected enrollment for Spring 2003 is even more; one of the reasons is because SDSU is not accepting any new students for Spring 2003. Many argue that CSUSM does not offer enough classes for the current students, yet they expect to eventually enroll upwards of a prospective 35,000 students. Students preparing for next semester by registering on-line or on campus are encountering many difficulties when they attempt to design a schedule that will fit their needs, due t o their appointment date or lack of class availability. Priority registration for continuing matriculated students began Nov. 4th and will continue until Dec. 6th for Spring 2003, via SMART Web or by phone. Ca!

No matter what their class status or major is, students are having great difficulty being able to get the classes they need semester after semester. There are not enough classes available for students to pick from in order to fill their major and even minor requirements. Classes are either at opposite times of the day, on opposite days of the week, or Major problems regarding overlapping in scheduled times. registration of classes The majority of the student body at CSUSM works part or One reason that CSUSM is experiencing this problem is f ull time jobs as well as going the lack of scheduling for the to school part or full time. Thus, required classes in each major. their schedules are strategically Class availability is the major planned to be able to juggle both issue as students prepare for next responsibilities. Many students ¡g ¡g 11 -w-tfF ¡ complain that the classes they need to graduate are only offered during the day when they are at work. Mona Kadah, a junior and high technology managementbusiness administration major, said, "This is my third semester here at CSUSM and I have been going full time. The school is trying to focus more on students who are working f ull time who only want classes at night, which is good, but this is not flexible to students who work part time and want to be f ull time students. We need more convenient scheduling with flexibility set around student's realistic schedules. I don't feel that my needs are being met and I don't think it is James Chesterton, a junior finance major, commented on his registration experience saying, "I work f ull time and Finance 321 is only offered during the middle of the day." Then when asked how he felt administration would help him he expressed that he had not contacted them and that, "I figured they don't care. Take it or leave it. I would like to see more classes offered for the evening students." Others comment that there are just not enough sections available for the required classes to be able to fit them in their schedule. Putheary Sin, a junior communication major, expressed, "Not being able to get needed classes at the time planned postpones graduation and it's not fair. CSUSM has to figure out a way to tone down or even eliminate this problem if at all possible. Of course, I realize that no solution can satisfy every student, but if improvements are made students would be a lot happier on campus around registration period." Jeff Bottger, a senior as of spring 2003 and communication major, commented, "I think there definitely needs to be a lot more sections of communication classes added. It's hard on those students who work to take the classes they need which are offered at random hours throughSee ADMIN, page 2 V OL.XNO.XIII Fall Grad Reception By MELISSA REED Pride Staff Writer In honor of all the students who will be graduating this semester, there will be a Fall Graduation Reception held on Friday, December 13. The ceremony will take place in a tented area from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. outside in Chavez Plaza, which is in front of the new Visual and Performing Arts Building. Speakers at the reception will include CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez, Dr. Francine Martinez and ASI president Jocelyn Brown. Although there is no dress code for this event, attendees are encouraged to dress smart-casual. Last year was the first year that this event took place, and it was said to have been very nice. There will also be refreshments to aid in the festivities. Because seating is limited, if graduates are planning on attending they should let the Office of Student Affairs office know as soon as possible. Guests of graduates should be limited to no more than four people. Because the specific names of the graduates will not be called at this ceremony, graduates are encouraged to come participate in the traditional May 17th graduation at the Del Mar Fairgrounds For students having any additional questions, please call the Office of Student A ffairs at 750-4056. Coffee With A Conscience ASI Programming Board Gives Coffee To Students That Is Also Fair To Farmers By GAIL TARANTINO Pride Staff Writer The Associated Students Inc. (ASI) Programming Board, in an effort to reach out and acknowledge students, is giving out hot coffee outside the Dome Plaza on Monday mornings from 7 a.m.-9 a.m. The programming board, "is a group of students hired by the ASI to plan and execute events to contribute to the development of campus life and community," said Valerie and in a hurry in the mornings." Cuevas, coordinator of student When asked why the coffee programs and services. is given away instead of sold, Cuevas said, "Because student fees go towards the purchase of The Evolution of an Idea the coffee, so they have already paid for it." Cuevas said that the coffee give-away was originally Cuevas explained that buying planned as a "nice way to recogFair Trade coffee was not part nize our s tudents."

Brett Gladys, a member of the programming board and one of the students handing out coffee explained that, "Fair Trade guarantees that coffee growers and farmers were paid a fair price regardless of the market." Gladys added that, "Fair Trade coffee is also produced without pesticides and forests aren't slashed and burned to grow it." Noah Smith, also a programming board member, explained the coffee is purchased from "People's Co-op in Ocean Beach." An organization that according to Smith "promotes both organically grown and vegetarian products."

I fortunately do not work; next semester I was hoping to get an internship, but with my class schedule across the board time wise, it may not be an option." Starting with registration for Spring 2003 semester, a new policy by the administration notifies students of their registration date by campus email only. Many students are frustrated with the priority registration dates, because they do not really give them priority service. Kadah added, "For example, HTM 426 is a popular class among Business majors and there is only one section being offered for the Spring 2003 semester. The class was filled and closed long before my priority registration date came, thus, giving me no chance i t getting into the class with no other sections offered. This class is very important for my major and the other electives do not fill my needs. By the time my priority registration time came, it was useless, because there were only two electives classes available." Kadah is still trying to get a response from administration, but does not have much hope of getting registered and will try crashing the classes at the beginAccording to an article in the ning of the semester.

Her story, listed in the Soroptimist Foundation scholarship packet, shows how every year this foundation has been helping women like Narumi all over the world themselves and their families through its Women's Opportunity Award. The award, which was established in 1972, has been established in order to benefit women who are trying to achieve their personal and professional goals through education and employment. The program was designed to assist women who are providing the primary source of financial support for their families. The award can be used to offset the cost of tuition, books, childcare and transportation. The amounts of the award do vary Coffee With A Conscience On each cup of coffee that is given away is a label, explaining the concerns surrounding the production of coffee and why the Fair Trade coffee co-op is a welcomed solution.

By JENNIFER ACEE Pride Staff Writer High attendance numbers at informational. meetings signify Cal State San Marcos students' peaked interest in studying abroad. The global affairs office provided a series of informational sessions throughout this fall semester, each of which yielded a relatively large audience of students who were interested in study abroad programs. MM mm mm ter abroad, but the majority was interested in summer programs. In spite of disparate needs and interests, everyone attended with an open mind in order to embrace opportunity and insert her/himself into a new cultural context. Cal State San Marcos students' heightened interest follows a national trend. The number of American college students receiving academic units for study abroad in 2000/01 increased 7.4% from the previous year, reaching a record total of 154,168 students, according to "Open Doors 2002," the annual report on international education that is published by the Institute of International Education. The most recent meeting, and the last of the semester, was held in University Hall 449 on Monday Nov. 18 from 1-2 p.m. for a crowd of over a dozen. Fortuitously kicking off America's third annual International Education Week, a diverse group of students gathered at the meeting Dulce Dorado, CSUSM study to have their potential travel abroad advisor, approximates, appeal sowed into reality. that 100 CSUSM students per year attend an academic proSome attending students gram abroad.

Plus, like program duration and destination, price is highly variable and can range from tens of thousands of dollars to mere hundreds. Associate Director of the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office Gerrie Hatten gave this advice to potential study abroad candidates: "Students need to take responsibility for making sure that all the needed paperwork and processes are completed. in a timely manner. They need to plan ahead and be realistic about the cost of the programs, the types and amounts of financial aid that can be used and how much of their own resources are available and to make decisions based on all those components." Vicky Segall, a CSUSM senior double majoring in Literature and Spanish, spent last summer studying and traveling in Spain. Segall used her "Cal-Vet aid" to help cover tuition costs, and so found herself with only the plane ticket and spending money as what she recalls were "the big things I had to worry about." Davis interprets the overall costs as fairly insignificant. She claims, "It doesn't cost that much more to study abroad for a year compared to living in San Diego and going to CSUSM for one year." If students missed the informational meetings this semester and are interested in what sorts of programs are available in international education, they can visit the global affairs office in Craven Hall 5211, or call their office at (760) 750-4090. However, one should prepare her/himself because, as students who have done it claim, s/he may launch "the experience of a lifetime." �T HE PRIDE NEWS Tuesday, December 3,2002 5 ^ a n a computer teach physics/ ^ "Computers - - don't A really know By M ARTHA S ARABIA L ead Editor can teach physics t o the audience, Oberem asked "And even if it could, would we want it t o?"

First Annual Frisbee Competition Student groups compete for cash and a trophy in an interesting frisbee game By JASON PADILLA Pride Staff Writer nized by the Associated Stu- There is also no contact between dent Inc. Programming Board, players at all. Friday Nov. 22nd marked the First Annual Frisbee competition from 1 to 3 p.m. at Forum Field in the Chavez Plaza. The competition, which was open for all clubs who wished to sign up, involved only four teams, consisting of: APSS (Asian Pacific Student Society), PAN (Progressive Activist Network), Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Alpha Chi Omega. The games were hosted and refereed by CSUSM student John Gehris and orga- For those interested in playing, it does look like a bit of work and physical exhaustion. The rules of the game involve the two teams of five getting an unlimited number of throws, but the teammate with the frisbee can only hold the frisbee for 10 seconds at a time. If the frisbee is dropped or a pass is incomplete, the frisbee changes sides, and a player cannot run with the frisbee. A goal is scored when a catch is made in the end zone. The first match of the day involved APSS vs. PAN, where PAN came out with a devastating victory of 6 to 3. Skilled passes and absolute confidence in teammates seemed to be the deciding factor in the match. The second match was a blowout, with Sigma Alpha Epsilon destroying Alpha Chi Omega 6-0. Alpha Chi Omega's strong point certainly is not head to head frisbee, as they struggled to even put a single point on the board. With only a brief intermission for the teams to catch their breath, the final match was underway. Jumping to an early lead in the final game, Sigma Alpha Epsilon went up early with a series of scores giving them a 5-0 lead. In the fashion of all great athletes and teams, PAN refused to give in. Really pulling themselves together, PAN jumped back into the game quickly scoring a remarkable 4 points in under 6 minutes. Even though it was a great attempt at a comeback, it just was not enough, as they lost 8-4. Sigma Alpha Epsilon won the first annual frisbee competition. Each member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon team won five $20 cougar cards and a handsome 22" tall trophy that read "Superior Disc Handlers". Even with a small t urn out, the event seemed to be a success, and the audience enjoyed themselves.

Directed by Julie Taymor, Frida is the true story of the ever-tormented painter Frida Kahlo, played by Salma Hayek. From Kahlo's unfortunate accident in her youth to her most joyous days and a bittersweet departure, the movie depicts the life of one of Mexico's most talented,artists. The film chronicles Frida's turbulent love affair with husband and fellow artist, Diego Rivera, played by Alfred Molina. Frida is a romantic's oasis.

(ASI) knocked around Founders' Plaza on Tuesday, November 19th from 11:00 a.m. to 3: 00 p.m. for its continuing "Take a Break Tuesday" events. For this month's entertainment, big glove boxing was available for students .on a break or walking to their next class who were willing to take punches from some giant boxing gloves. Valerie Cuevas, ASI Coordinator of Student Programs and Services, CSUSM student John Gehris, and ASI President Jocelyn Brown encouraged students to take their turn in the inflatable ring. Many of the students walking by decided to kick off their shoes and wait in line to jump in the ring. The enormous inflated boxing ring was set right next to Academic Hall and offered many students who were walking by a chance to release some of the stress caused by their exams and research papers. The clear blue skies and warm weather brought many students outside to watch fellow students bounce around like Sugar Ray Leonard while throwing punches at each other. With music blaring and bullhorn calls summoning the next victims, the ASI team enthusiastically haggled students to hop in the ring and throw a few blows. Some students were seen tossing the giant gloves aside and performing their favorite WWF moves on one another. "Let's get our professors in the ring," a student yelled while being tossed to the other side of the ring. Another student waiting for his turn also said, "I like how ASI brings f un to campus, it helps make being on campus all day a little more interesting." Approximately every third Tuesday of the month, ASI brings entertainment to Founder's Plaza. For last month's f un, ASI featured a giant inflatable batting cage. "With activities like the big glove boxing, inflatable batting cage, and human bowling, which is next month, we try to bring some f un to campus," said Cuevas. If students are curious about the details of the next event or where it will be held, they are encouraged to keep an eye on their e-mail and on Founder's Plaza for upcoming activities. �Sfedrina y los estudiantes de CSUSIVI Medicamento n atural que afecta al cerebro y al corazón Por ROSALLYN CELLE Y que la consumen tienen el riesgo de sufrir infartos y apoplejías.

National Latino Research Center Receives Funding to Help Children with Ashtma A $352,297 award will provide assistance to improve the quality of life for school-aged children with asthma By MARTHA SARABIA Lead Editor The National Latino Research Center (NLRC) received funding from The California Endowment to fight asthma in school-aged children. The $352,297 award is designed to provide technical assistance to asthma coalitions in San Diego and Imperial Counties that are working as part of the statewide Community Action to Fight (CAFA) Asthma initiative as well as improving the quality of life for school-aged children with asthma. nity-based partnerships, which include Imperial Valley Asthma Partnership and San Diego Allies Against Asthma, by helping to stimulate and build coalitions, design and implement interventions, collect and analyze data, and advance policies that reduce The NLRC will provide tech- the risks of asthma in the envinical support to local commu- ronments where school-aged D o y ou o r y our c hild s uffer f r o m children live, learn and play. Gerardo Gonzalez, director of the NLRC and CSUSM professor of psychology, said, "This is an excellent opportunity for the NLRC and Cal State San Marcos to strengthen partnerships in the San Diego and Imperial Valley regions." He added, "In collaboration with community coalitions and the California Endowment, we hope to contribute to the prevention of community-wide health problems, such as asthma in children." CAFA supports 12 community-based partnerships across California and is the second phase of The California Endowment's asthma programs. It is also a $12 million, threeyear statewide program that addresses the multiple environmental triggers of asthma among school-aged children with asthma.

Also, nearly 3 million Californians suffer from asthma symptoms. Asthma is a chronic disease that often begins in childhood and is the number one cause of disability, hospital admissions and school absenteeism among children. The overarching goal of the California Endowment's asthma initiative is to reduce health disparities and improve the quality of life for school-aged children with asthma. CAFA aims to reduce the environmental risk factors that trigger asthma, particularly in rural and urban areas with high rates of the disease. The California Endowment works with organizations and institutions that directly benefit the health and well-being of Californians. Their mission is to expand access to affordable, quality healthcare for underserved individuals and communities, and to promote fundamental improvements in the health status of all Californians. As listed in its website, The California Endowment is a private, statewide health foundation with approximately $3 billion in assets. Created in 1996 as a result of Blue Cross of California's creation of WellPoint Health Networks, a for-profit corporation, and since its inception, the endowment has awarded more than 3,400 grants totaling over $988,000,000 as of October 2002 According to the 2001 Cali- to community-based organizafornia Health Interview Survey, tions throughout California. asthma rates in California have �A (Not So) Funny Thing Happened to Me in the Computer Lab... By JENNIFER JARRELL Pride Staff Writer For the past three semesters, I've been an avid user of the computers in the computer lab here at San Marcos. When I load "My Personal Settings," I've been saving the work I do in places like: My Documents, H: drive, and the desktop with no problems whatsoever. So when the- computer loads "My Personal Settings," I feel safe to save my work in places that are labeled "My Documents." Why else would it be labeled "My Documents" if I couldn't save work there? Well... one day about two weeks ago, I saved somei work to "My Documents," logged off the computer, and went to the Dome for lunch. When I returned, my work had mysteriously vanished. I frantically searched and searched for it everywhere oil the computer, but there were no traces of it. I began to secondguess myself that maybe I didn't log off correctly, and someone else had accidentally erased it. So I went home to retype all my work (thank God I had written my essays by hand first on notebook paper). fluke, I typed another paper in the lab, but this time I was going to save it to my zip disk. When I looked in my bag for my disk, I realized that I had forgotten it at home. I saved my paper to the desktop (again, like I have been for three semesters now,) logged off the computer, and went to the student store to buy a new disk. When I came back to the lab and logged back on, my paper was GONE! I asked the lab people (student computer helpers) how this could've happened since I've been saving on the desktop all semester. One of the lab people told me that there was a new policy implemented where, as of two weeks ago, students cannot save on the desktop or to "My Documents" anymore or their work will be erased with no possibility of retrieval. The logical, pragmatic side of me wanted to ask, "Why wouldn't the lab people put signs up EVERYWHERE letting students know about this "new thing?" Instead, I walked swiftly out of the lab and went straight home to redo my assignment, this time starting from scratch because I had not pre-written my work in my notebook. in charge" of what goes on in the labs. Instructional Computing Labs Coordinator Mary Atkins had this to say about the computer lab. "In the Instructional Computing labs, because these are public machines, we only allow students to save on their own space: the H: space, a ZIP diskette, or a floppy diskette. This has been our policy for the last 10 years. It would be impossible to maintain the machines, if we allowed the students to save to the C: drive." She continued to say, "I am sorry that there has been some misunderstanding about where you can save a file. Once you log off any machine, it reverts back to a standard "clean" slate for the next student. The ONLY safe place to save a file is the H: space, a floppy diskette, a ZIP diskette, or a CD." But that's not what Systems Integration Specialist William D. Craig told me. He stated, "Each student at CSUSM is allowed 50MB of storage space on a fileserver that is automatically connected at login. The only reason a student should run into a problem saving a file to the desktop or anywhere else on the h: drive is when the student is near or over his or her quota. In those instances, a popup mesA fter thinking that the whole After that second incident, I sage should appear alerting thefrustrating incident was just a decided to email some "people student that the file cannot be saved because the quota has been reached." He added helpfully, "If you lost a file that you had saved to your desktop, I'd really like to work with you to find out what went wrong, because it certainly shouldn't happen. There may be an incorrect setting in your account profile. Please call or stop by at your convenience so we can look into this problemi" So what I want to know is, basically, where am I allowed to save my work? I feel that the second half of the semester is a bad time for students' work to be disappearing. I'm not thè only one this has happened to. There's been a buzz around campus that students have been losing their files in circumstances similar to mine. Because of this episode, I will be especially safe to make two copies of everything I do, and I guess I've learned that the hard way. But I still feel that It would be best for students to know what's going on before they feel safe to save files just anywhere on the computer. unless absolutely critical. We certainly do everything we can to minimize the risk t o students' data. If we did rn^ke a change regarding something that would impact most students, like making the desktop "off-limits," we would certainly do so in a way that would not result in the loss of files, and only after giving ample notice to the campus community beforehand." Mr. Craig told me that this whole incident was a glitch, and will be dealt with. I certainly .hope so, because this is the most critical point in the semester, and students should feel safe when using the computer lab. Since it seems there are two very different opinions regarding saving files in the lab, I would just like to know which one Cal State students can trust to be true. Lastly, Mr. Craig stated, "I want to say that our department tries very hard to keep changes to the student environment to a minimum.

If we go back a little bit, in the past years, GEW instructors, many of whom are graduate students in the LTWR program, were allowed to park in the faculty lot, but they got their privileges revoked because they were easy targets for Parking Services to cut out of the picture: they were STUDENTS, but they were/are also exploited teachers. to read this book to understand what this man did for society.

CORRECTION Two of the comparative price graphs titled "Snacks" and "Drinks", printed in the November 19 issue of The Pride, were mistakenly constructed with the comparative scales stacked on top of one another rather than side by side as in the "Nutritional bars" graph. The actual prices are only accurate on the scales whose bases start at Zero dollars. The Pride apologizes to the vendors and readers for this misleading representation. ness.

He is pictured here dressed in traditional winter regalia. Not enough students attended his talk on Tuesday, so he played with students on Founders' Plaza, using afishnets to catch them. The American Indian Student Alliance sponsored the event. The celebration will continue on Wednesday with Native American speakers. (Pride Photo/Claudia Ignacio) By VICTORIA B. SEGALL Pride Editor Rain poured down on the Dome Plaza on Thursday, where students from the American Indian Student Alliance (AISA) had hoped to conclude their final day of celebration for Native American Heritage Month in November. Dr. Henry Rodriguez, also known as “Uncle Henry,” was scheduled to give a blessing and speak last Thursday, how­ ever, due to the rain, his talk is now rescheduled for Wednesday at 1p.m. at the Dome Plaza. Mark Mojado, who monitors Native American excavation sites, will also speak on Wednesday. AISA npt only organized the event to celebrate Native American heritage, but also to educate other students about the culture. The event began Tuesday with storyteller Abel Silvas, who wore traditional win­ ter regalia, which featured' rab- bit skins around his waist. He also played with students on Founders’ Plaza, tossing fish­ nets over students and catching them. On Wednesday, students displayed Native American arti­ facts and replicas on the Dome Plaza. Some AISA members, how­ ever, noted that few students attended the storytelling and dis­ play on Tuesday and Wednesday. “I’m sorry more people didn’t take the time to look at this, because this is local history,” said Rita Reynolds, a member of AISA. AISA members said they hope that ASI will take on the planning of next year’s celebra­ tion. “We’d like to have some­ thing on a bigger scale,” said Stacey Helton, an AISA mem­ ber. “We’re on Luiseno land, but no one does anything to acknowledge that. We need to honor them and respect them.” Even though Rodriguez, a Luiseno Indian tribal leader, did not formally speak on Thursday because of the rain, he sat in the Dome among a group of students from AISA, where he told them stories about Native American folklore. “I want to make my stories become real, so that people can touch them, hear them, and feel them,” said Rodriguez, who said he also plans to welcome student ques­ tions during his Wednesday talk, and discuss what is happening within the local Native-American community. “Not many people know that any reservations are around here, even the people that live here,” said Rodriguez. “If the locals don’t know, I thought that maybe the students wouldn’t know.” Rodriguez is closely con­ nected to Cal State San Marcos. In addition to his service as a community consultant to, the university, he also received an » A rticle cont. on page 2 The CSU ■ Board of ' Trustees voted on and approved a measure on Nov. 13 that will allow Cal State San Marcos to begin construction of its first oncampus student housing struc­ ture. The construction is sched­ uled to begin in March 2002, and should be completed by the fall of 2003, a timeline similar to that given for the completion of the new campus library and field house. The simultaneous comple­ tion of these three projects will, according to Paige Jennings, a university spokesperson, “ ... bring a sense of ownership and belonging to our campus.” The first campus housing communities will be built on a 5.5-acre plot located at East Barham Drive and Campus View Drive. The. proposed student housing project will include accommodations for 460 stu­ dents, with additional housing provided for supervising fac­ ulty and staff. The student hous­ ing structures will be divided between two different models, arranged by size and price. A four bedroom, two-bath apart­ ment with communal kitchen and living quarters will com­ prise one model, and a double occupancy per room, two bed­ room, two-bath apartment will be the other option. The projected cost for the four-bedroom model is $575 per month per apartment, and the shared two-bedroom model will cost $475 a month. All apart­ ments will range from 1,000 to 1,100 square »A rticle cont. on page 2 Community Scholarships Available for Spring ByANNBENING Pride Staff Writer This spring, the Office of Community Service Learning (CSL) will offer scholarships to 10 Cal State San Marcos students. Each of the students chosen will receive $1,000. To qualify, students must have a 3.0 GPA and be enrolled with a minimum of nine credits. If the students are incoming freshman, they must have a high school grade point average of 3.3. Cal State San Marcos encourages students to be involved in community service, said Dr. Lynda Gaynor, director of CSL. “In serving the community, students help to make this world a better place. This experience also gives exposure to the big­ ger community, and knowledge of varying lifestyles and socio-. economic groups. It helps peo­ ple with their struggles.” Once potential scholarship students meet the requirements, a non-profit community agency will interview them. If the agen­ cy accepts the student, he/she will enroll in the Service in the Community course, which is currently offered under Human Development 499. This class meets on alternating weeks dur­ ing the spring semester for read­ ing and structured reflection. Students must volunteer for 170 hours with the agency of their choice, which is linked » A rticle cont. on page 2 �M EChA Seeks to Stop Operation Gatekeeper By STEPHANIE BAIRD Pride Staff Writer In light of the upcoming National Human Rights day on Dec. 10, Christian Ramirez, lead­ er of the San Diego division of the Raza Rights Coalition and a member of the National Chicano Moratorium Committee, spoke on campus about ending Operation Gatekeeper, a policy enforced in California to keep illegal immigrants, specifically those from Mexico, out of the U.S. “We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us,” lie told the students who gathered for Thursday’s talk. Ramirez discussed how he believed Operation Gatekeeper caused problems and promoted Award Money for Volunteer Work »A rticle cont. from page 1 with their major or field of study. Students may select non­ profit organizations from the extensive file in the Office of CSL (located in Craven 1210). Fraternity House, North County Interfaith Community Service, Upward Bound, Palomar YMCA Encinitas Lion Club, and The Dolphin Project are organizations that have par­ ticipated in the past. The Dolphin Project cre­ ated a program designed to help at-risk kids through art, group sessions, and the use of dolphin interaction at Sea World. Various students have ben­ efited from participating in this scholarship program. Lisa Lipsey, a CSUSM student, worked with Fraternity House, a home for men and women disabled by HIV and AIDS. Lipsey redesigned the agen­ cy logo for stationery, busi­ ness cards and brochures, cre­ ated a newsletter, and planned major fundraising events for Fraternity House. As a result of her volunteer experience, she was hired as development director for the organization. After the students who par­ ticipate in the community ser­ vice learning projects com­ plete the 170 hours of com­ munity service and finished the required HD 499 coursework, they will be awarded the $1,000 scholarship. This is a wonderful oppor­ tunity for students to give to the community and to give to themselves, said Gaynor.

He said he hoped his talk would open students’ eyes, and make them question what was right and wrong not only with Operation Gatekeeper, but with other policies, the media, and government activities concern­ ing immigration. MEChA (Mexicano Estudiantil Chicano de Atzlan) sponsored his talk. While discussing the history of Operation Gatekeeper and its sibling operations, Operation Safeguard in Arizona, and Operation Rio Grande in Texas, Ramirez called the operations “inhumane policies,” and said that immigrants are in “mortal danger” when they decide to risk traveling through the hot deserts and freezing mountains to begin a life in the U.S. Thousands of people have According to Ramirez, some bor­ died trying to cross into the der agents have been accused U.S., and many are missing, of rape and murder, but because according to Ramirez.

He added that the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) and La Coalici6n Proderechos de la Raza are holding a sit-in and fast at Camino de la Plaza, the last U.S. exit, from Dec. 8-15 to protest Operation Gatekeeper and the treatment of illegal immigrants.

He also works within the commu-v nity, having founded the San Luis Rey Water Authority, and serving on its board of directors; he works to promote environ­ mental protection, and to bring healthcare to Native-Americans living on California reservations. Rodriguez also brought the Head Start program (a child develop­ ment program for low-income families) to reservations, and has served as a board member and consultant to school districts, helping to educate students about the Native American culture. Another educator on Native American culture, Mark Mojado, will also speak Wednesday. Mojado is a Native American monitor who visits excavation sites where he works with archaeologists to preserve Native American remains and artifacts that have been found in local areas. “We make sure that we can save a part of history for our generations,” said Mojado, who is from the Luiseno tribe. “We can’t save everything, but we can save some of them.” While he was at the Dome, Rodriguez also gave advice to students nearing finals week. “Things get hectic,” he said. “I go off tb the mountains to think of all the things that happened, and I know it’s not the end of the world. I know that we’re not going to give up. We may not have the answer now, but I know we’ll get it done. God willing, I’m going to be here tomorrow.” Students may listen to Rodri­ guez and Mojado speak Wednes­ day at 1 p.m. at the Dome Plaza for the final installment of this year’s celebration of Native American heritage.

University administration is debating whether or not to schedule apartment leases to coincide with future year-round courses, or to keep the lease cen­ tered upon a more traditional, 9 to 10 month academic year. If a full-year lease is available, students can expect to have rent lowered by $25 dollars a month. Students, however, should not expect a tuition increase as a result of this new housing mea­ sure; according to CSU Board of Trustees stipulations, the oper­ ation must be self-supporting. Since the university does not have collateral equity on already existing dorm room structures, a private company, Allen & O’Hara Education Services LLC of Memphis, will secure bonds to build and manage the com­ plex. Their standing as a major financier and manager of such complexes all but guarantees the prompt and self-supporting oper­ ation to continue on as planned. Not oniy will Allen & O’Hara Services LLC fund the project, through the securing of bonds, but it will also staff the facility with managers who will work hand in hand with student affairs. �Events Theatre Students Present “Doha Criba” Bree Tinney Auction Time: 7 p.m. Take part in the Bree Tinney Location: CSUSM’s Visual and Auction.

On Thursday afternoon after a long battle with cancer, George Harrison, the lead guitar player and songwriter for the 1960s enig­ matic pop group, The Beatles, died at age 58. Beatle fans throughout the world mourned the loss of the “quiet Beatle.” Although he never specifically wanted to be known as an icon of pop culture, Harrison quietly added his mystical influ­ ence to the Beatle’s music, help­ ing to create the sound that won the world over. “I never asked to be famous, I just wanted to be successful,” said Harrison. The extent to which the Beatle’s music touched people is emphasized by the fact that mil­ lions of Beatle fans were bom after the 1970 break-up of the group. From Liverpool, the birth­ place of the Beatles, to the Penny Lane, a British pub in San Marcos, candles burned and thoughts of peace echoed out as fans said goodbye to Harrison, showing the reach that his love spanned. After beating throat cancer in 1998, Harrison was diagnosed with various forms of cancer, including a brain tumor, and had been battling for the last two years. He died in the home of a family friend in Los Angeles with his wife, Olivia, and son, Dhani, by his side. Harrison, the youngest mem­ ber of the Beatles, is the second of the Fab Four to pass on? leav­ ing only Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr to carry on the lega­ cy. John Lennon was shot and killed by a crazed fan in 1980. “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “I Me Mine,” “Here Comes the Sun” and “Something” are some of the timeless songs Harrison wrote as a Beatle. “He is really just my baby brother,” McCartney said about Harrison in a CNN interview. Once he accepted the unwav­ ering explosion of Beatlemania, Harrison began using the medi­ um of music and song writing to express his deep spiritual and peace loving nature, eventually Give me Love Give me Love Give me Peace on Earth Give me Life Give me Life Keep me Free, from birth Give me Hope Help me Cope With this heavy load Trying to Touch me to you With both heart and soul George Harrison taking the group to India to meet the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. “Get back to where you once belonged,” are lyrics from the upbeat pop song “Get Back,” and casually portray some of Harrison’s Eastern religious beliefs. The influence of Indian mys­ ticism flowed from Harrison and can be heard on a number of Beatle albums, most notably on “The White Album.” “I wasn’t smiling ... by pigeonholing me, they (fans and the media) missed out on some of the little jokes in my songs,” said Harrison, commenting on his label as the quiet and spiritual Beatle. Regularly known as the over­ shadowed one in the Beatles, Harrison was known more for his virtuosity in music, com­ pared to the extroverted person­ alities of his former band mates were known for. Although he was known to stay more aloof and behind the scenes, he was never underestimated by musicians and was known by close friends as witty, cracking jokes up until the day he passed on. After the breakup of the Beatles, Harrison embarked on a successful solo career. The same year The Beatles disbanded Harrison released “All Things Must Pass” his first solo album. The single “My Sweet Lord” marked the first top hit by a for­ mer Beatle. Harrison went on to record “Somewhere in England” in 1981 and “Cloud Nine” in 1987. In 1971, after being inspired by Ravi Shankar, a famous Indian sitar player, Harrison organized The Concert for Bangladesh, which became rock’s first major charity event. After years of legal problems linked to a Beatle tax investigation, the benefit eventu­ ally raised $10 million, and the recording of the last day of the concert won Harrison his first Grammy. Shankar, who played at Woodstock, is credited with bringing the sitar to rock music, playing with rock legends like. Punk Rock Hits Cox Arena By KEVIN HAWK Pride Staff Writer What do you get when you throw a couple thousand yelling, screaming, and sweaty young adults in an arena with the bands No Use For A Name, Face to Face, and Pennywise? A solid punk rock show with just a little bit of anarchy. The Line and Guttermouth opened last Saturday night, but the show really began when No Use for a Name sparked the crowd with “Justified Black Eye,” then moved to a sing-along favorite, “Soulmate.” With clean transitions and crisp sounds, No Use for a Name played one of the best sets of the night. Yet, the real excitement began with the fourth band of the night. Despite their so-so performance at the Cox Arena, an eager crowd began rushing the floor level once Face to Face appeared on stage. The audience cheered as anarchy broke loose. Security tried to contain the audience by quickly turning on the arena lights and cutting lead singer Trever Keith’s vocals. Cheers quickly turned to deep boos. After arena officials ignored pleas from Keith, they forced Face to Face to finish out their set in the fully lit arena. Many were disappointed by securi­ ty’s attempts to contain the show. When Face to Face appeared on stage, I heard a voice behind me say, “This is who I came to see.” I had to agree. Every time I see Face to Face, they put on a highenergy show. Despite intentional techni­ cal problems caused by arena officials, Face' to Face played a solid set. However, there were more than tech­ nical problems for Face to Face. For the first time since early 1991, Face to Face played as a three-man band. Hindered by the recent departure of lead guitarist Chad Yaro, Scott Shiflet of Face to Face had to unstrap his bass and play guitar. The rest of the night was a bit more tame, but still a great show. As headlin­ ing band Pennywise appeared on stage with dozens of family and friends, the entire arena jumped to their feet. Lead singer Jim Lindberg, interacted with the crowd all night, continually dousing the front rows with water during the entire set. Rather than playing a set list, Pennywise turned to the audience for requests. In between songs “Fun and Games” and “Pennywise,” guitarist Fletcher Dragge ignited the crowd with obscene statements aimed at Osama bin Laden. Before closing with the signature “Bro Hymn” anthem, Pennywise invited those who’d permanently declared their devotion in the form of tatoos onstage.

Shankar had told Harrison of the people’s suffering in Bangladesh, which sparked the creation of the benefit concerts and accentuates the giving nature of Harrison. After a number of years out of the spotlight, Harrison record­ ed an album with Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison under the name The Traveling Wilburys, which won Harrison his second Grammy. “He was like the sun, the flowers and the moon, and we will miss him enormously,” said Bob Dylan in a CNN web arti­ cle. Although it is sad to see his untimely departure from our cor­ poreal world, family, friends and fans may find comfort by remem­ bering his strength in spiritual mysticism, exemplified in songs like, “The Art of Dying” and his belief that everyone may one day meet again. “I don’t know what as.

DEBLEE TRAN @760.729.1142 �H ot Chowder at the Beach By AMY GRANITE Pride Staff Writer What sounds better than a salty sea breeze on your face while you sip a hot cup o f clam chowder during sunset? Not much, if you enjoy fresh sea­ food and the cliff top view from the Harbor Fish Cafe on Coast Highway in Carlsbad. You can sit outside, facing the ocean, or under an awning. Either way, you will enjoy what this casual restaurant has to offer. A perfect meal at the Harbor Fish Cafe begins with a cup or bowl of New England Clam Chowder. I consider myself to be a qualified critic in the chowder department, considering I order it at every seafood restaurant I frequent, in search of the best. This chowder is creamy and rich, with big chunks of potatoes and fresh clams harvested from local waters. The flavor is unlike any other clam chowder I have had, and it is always blisteringly hot, which makes it taste even better. The chowder is $2 per cup, which makes it even more enjoyable. To top it off, order a side of grilled sourdough bread for only 50 cents, which is great for dip­ ping. Next, I suggest the fish tacos the traditional taco and is more offers various daily specials — as a main course.

Tis the Season to Make Bon Bons By AMY GRANITE Pride Staff Writer The holidays are a time when foods and desserts bring about family closeness and create traditions that can be passed down from generation to generation. One such recipe that my family has enjoyed year after year during the holiday season is the desert dish, Bon Bons. Not only are Bon Bons rich and deli­ cious, but the preparation of the candy is artistic, fun, and everyone in the family can help while listening to holiday music and enjoying each other’s company. To make Bon Bons, you will need the following ingredients: 1 bag o f shredded coconut 1 stick o f margarine 2 boxes o f powdered sugar 2 small cans o f Eagle Brand sweetenedcondensed milk 1 bag o f Ghiradelli semi-sweet chocolate chips (if you prefer milk chocolate use that) 1 stick o f cooking wax (can be purchased at any grocery store in the “ Baking Needs” section) White chocolate chips or cubes lbag o f walnuts (optional) ljar o f Marchino cherries (optional) The materials you will need include: A large bowl One medium size stove pot One small pot Toothpicks Waxpaper The first step in Bon Bon prepara­ tion will be to combine the condensed milk, margarine, and powdered sugar. The easiest way to mix these ingredients is to use a cake mixer; if you do not have one, stir until the mixture is fluid. After this is mixed, add coconut, chopped walnuts, chopped cherries and vanilla for flavor. At this point, you can continue to use the cake mixer, but I have overheated one this way because the mixture is so thick. Don’t be afraid to mix with your hands! It is the best way to get an even consistency and you get to lick your fingers. After the filling is done, put it in the refrigerator or freezer to chill so the mix can harden. Having firm Bon Bon filling will be essential for the next step of preparation, dipping the candies. While your Bon Bon filling is chill­ ing in the icebox, you have plenty of time to prepare the dipping chocolate. The first step is to bring half of the medium pot of water to a full boil. Next, take the smaller pot and place it in the medium sized one so that the bottom Educational Achievement and Retention Services (EARS) Presents r A Job Opportunity ~ of the pot is partially submerged in the boiling water.

Most everyone would agree that posi­ tive and planned growth of the city is something.that would ben­ efit both the university and small businesses alike. However, this is not the type of growth^ that San Marcos is currently engag­ ing in, and such uncontrolled expansion will not only forever ruin the natural beauty of areas like Box canyon, Elfin Forrest, and Discovery Hills, but also create a corporate climate in the city that eliminates small busi­ ness ownership and individual­ ity among townships. At the current pace of development, North County res­ idents may soon be able to drive from Escondido to Oceanside serves up the type of individu­ ality and differentiates the small community of San Marcos. These two businesses, like others in our community, are on the verge of becoming the next corporate takeover success story. In the instance of The Mocha Marketplace and the Power Surge Cafe, the intrusive Starbucks Coffee Corporation is the mastermind behind their imminent demise. Three years ago, Starbucks Coffee Co. saw an opportunity in the develop­ ing, young San Marcos, and built their first store in our city. Since that time, they have expanded to four stores, two of which opened at the end of November. These new stores will be less than one mile apart, capturing the Power Surge Cafe between them.

Letters should be submitted via Hi Time Is Now By CHRIS ING Pride Staff Writer In the wake of Sept. 11 we, as a nation and as individuals, are left with more questions than answers. “How could this happen to us, here?,” “Why would some­ one want to do this?” Beneath all the conjecture and socio-political-economic banter, we still don’t have firm answers. Maybe the politicians and scholars can momentarily placate us with answers more complex than the questions, but try giving a mean­ ingful answer to a five-year-old (often the most insightful judge), and my bet is you come up short. Clearly, this tragedy ^ bears great significance. Even the most faithless person would be hardpressed not to see these events as a call to examine our lives and our place in the world. Recent media reports tell of students who have suddenly changed academic paths, people in the workforce who now eschew the corporate world to pursue the pipe dream they never thought possible. The events on 9-11 represent a tremendously precious oppor­ tunity to set our sights inward - collectively and individually - and consider where we place meaning, what we hold sacred, why we often clutter our lives with the inessential and the tedious. The choices we make in life reflect who we are. They are filled with power and portent. We do ourselves, and our world, a disservice by denying our own voices or devaluing our con­ tributions, however seemingly small. Certainly, action must be taken against those who helped to orchestrate and execute the attack. I doubt many people dis­ agree on this point. And I have no answers about what is right or wrong in this case. But I think we could be more careful and imaginative in our proposed solutions to these issues. Our country is founded on creativity and imagination - why not cre­ ate responses that reflect these attributes. They bomb us, we bomb them. Even those of us slumbering through our classes know how this scene ends. Let’s strive for better. The lives lost in the attacks are irreplaceable; surely we aren’t so callous and shortsight­ ed to imagine that bringing the terrorists to justice will some­ how make us feel better. Such a scenario may temporarily relieve us, but it will never compensate for the pain, suffering and loss we have endured. So what is it that we want? The same things our country was founded on: We’ve had the imagination to put people on the moon and cam­ eras on Mars; are we really so gullible to believe that we can’t produce a more viably efficient engine than the same internal combustion model that Henry Ford tinkered with? Without a need for oil, there is no need to be involved in a conflict that has been raging long before we are dirtied our hands in it, and will no doubt continue long after we leave. And while we are pulling out of the Middle East, let’s pull our military out of other foreign countries as well - ski­ ers in Italy will certainly feel safer. Why do we have a military installation in Italy anyway? Ever wondered? Imagine America’s response to France having a base at Miramar? Sound absurd? - Absolutely. With more time and resources saved we could consider our own problems rather than turning a blind eye to them under the guise of national security. Has racism vanished here in the U.S. since Sept. 11? How about sexism? Classism? Homophobia? Poverty? Depression? Addiction? These last two would be considered luxuries in most countries. The list of our own maladies is as long and as urgent as those of any other nation. Why aren’t we brave enough, creative enough, and strong enough to find solutions for ourselves? We don’t need conflicts from other nations; we have a plethora of our own. So when you are out in the world, consider your actions. Take the time to be a friend, to be a lover, or to listen to someone who only wants to be heard. We all want to be need­ ed. We all want to know we are important and we matter. Better your world by knowing what is important and discard­ ing the rest. The time for change is now. ‘Why aren’t we brave enough,creative enough, and strong enough to fin d solu­ tions fo r ourselves?” life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We don’t want to be worried about terrorist attacks or biochemical warfare - these are the things of nightmares. Yet it is these very things we cling to in hopes of a solution. A functional definition of insanity is a person who does the same thing over and over again, hop­ ing for a different result. War creates war. It’s a simple equa­ tion. Certainly, we’ve learned this. So, what can we do? We can start by reducing our need for oil. By anyone’s reckon­ ing, oil is the prime reason we became involved in this conflict in the first place. Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia - there is only one reason to cultivate diplomatic relations With these countries. I don’t suggest we look for alter­ nate sources of oil here stateside, either. I push for alternative fuel engines. There are hybrid cars on the roads today that already employ such technology. Detroit is waiting in the wings. �Letters CSUSM Claims Diversity but Lacks It We are writing in response to the lack of language pro­ grams offered in this university. As you may well know, Spanish is the only foreign language in which there is a major and minor offered. The only other lan­ guage program CSUSM offers is a minor in French. Programs such as Germaiv with 60 to 70 students, have been working to establish a minor; however, as the World Languages Department refuses to support these languages with as much passion as they do Spanish, they are struggling to build their pro­ grams. Other universities in San Diego recognize the importance of supporting a variety of lan­ guage programs. CSUSM seems to be lacking in this area. As students of the univer­ sity, we are frustrated that our study of language is limited. It seems that we are not given many choices. There is no incen­ tive for many students to begin studying a language other than Spanish because we cannot hope to achieve some recognition for our work (like a minor or major). Even in instances where a minor may be in place, the classes needed to fulfill it are constant­ ly cancelled or cut out of the budget. How can you learn a language when you are not per­ mitted further study of it? It is frustrating to have to take the same class over and over again in order to keep up with a language other than Spanish. We need to progress. In light of the recent events of Sept. 11, we, as Americans, have learned that we don’t know as much about other countries, their cultures, their religions, and their languages as they do about us. To become better citi­ zens of the world we must study and strive to learn about them in the same capacity that we expect others to know about Americans. The university has an obligation to recognize this importance. As an institution of higher learning CSUSM must at least offer students the opportunity to learn about languages and cul­ tures of the world. In CSUSM’s mission statement it outlines a vision to give students the knowledge and skills to succeed in a global society. How can, it hope to achieve this goal? By not offering a variety of lan­ guage programs and classes, the World Languages Department is limiting the study of lan­ guage and culture past the inter­ mediary level to one language: Spanish. Although Spanish is a very important language and culture to study (especially in San Diego,) alone it will not help in creating a global society. As students we ask that the uni­ versity work to offer and sup­ port a wider range of language programs. We ask that we be given a choice of languages to study and excel in. We ask that this university help prepare us to become a part of a global society that has a variety of people, languages, cultures, and religions. CSUSM claims that it has diversity, but in truth we are lacking it. Concerned German Students at CSUSM (This letter was signed by students in all sections of German classes and con­ tained about 40 signatures at this time) Collaborated by Emily Commer, Vice-President German Club . More Students Respond to “Humanitarian Aid Kills People” I am writing in response to “Humanitarian Aid Kills People,” by David J. Ludwig. In brief summary of the article, the author is expressing that the aid given to starving people, human­ itarian aid, will, in the end, caused harm. The harm being cause would arise when eco­ nomic or food supply of the coun­ try will become dependent on it; therefore people will die. This information supplied contradicts the information given by the Institute for Food and Development Policy, They indi­ cate that the idea of scarcity of food is a myth. There is enough food. The article explains that developing countries have food in abundance. The world today produces enough food for 4.3 pounds per person, 2.5 pounds of grain, beans and nuts,‘a pound of fruits and vegetables, and a pound of meant, milk, and eggs. The problem of starving people is not us giving handouts of food, but the costs large food corporations are placing on the farmers. The countries have the food, but they cannot afford it. Corporations are putting money into the country’s land where export crops are being grown; thus, leaving little aid to land that grows food for the owners of the land. In place of assisting the countries with handouts of food, the humanitarian need is to assist the countries and starving peo­ ple with the production of crops on their land. They need eco­ nomic assistance in order to pur­ chase their crops. The article, “The Myth? Scarcity the Reality — There is Enough Food,” can be found in the Food First spring edition of 1998, Vol. 5, No. 1. Jessica Kolski Student Sending Aid Shows Support, Not Murder This is in response to the article, “Humanitarian Aid Kills People.” I believe that we know that by sending food we will not save all the starving people; but by sending “humani­ tarian aid” we are showing our support, and that we also care about what happens to these people. I also believe that it would be quite difficult for a country as wealthy and power­ ful as ours to just stand back and know that these people are dying of starvation, when we can obvi­ ously send what we can. I do not think this is a matter of saving each and everyone of the starv­ ing humans in the world, but it is about common courtesy.

Pre­ vention of even greater suffer­ ing in the long term may be the result of a few casualties now. It is a shame that someone living with all the luxuries that you are blessed with would be so warped as to believe that those with food somehow deserve it, and that those without, don’t.

XVIII NO. 13 President Haynes hosts second open forum with students P arking p ermits a nd f ee increases a re h ot topics i n President's B oardroom BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer With news of the parking fee increases to the Cal State San Marcos campus, students met with President Karen Haynes, bringing along signed petitions and increased frustration to the semester's second open forum on Wed. Nov. 28 in the President's Boardroom. "Most of us are here for the parking issue." Said student Amethyst Hills. "Why don't we have private or public funding for the parking structure?" AccordingtoPresidentHaynes, the state does not pay for parking facilities, student unions or athletic fees. Therefore, the only way those services are covered is through student fee increases. In regards to funding from donors, President Haynes stated, "It's not highly likely that a donor wants to build a parking lot. Donors want to build academic buildings or make enhancements like they did for Markstein Hall. But parking facilities is generally what the public donors or philanthropists see as something that we need to fund through our own mechanisms by the users of the facilities." One concern for students was where the increased fees would go and whether or not current students would see the effects of the increase in the structures planned in the near future. "What we've done from the beginning and what we continue to do is some of that money that you and staff and faculty pay in parking fees goes to the actual maintenance of parking structures now and some of it is put away in an account that can't be touched for anything but the next parking lot or fees for a new See FORUM, page 2 University Bookstore expansion Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride Construction of the new expansion of the University Bookstore on the fifth floor of Craven Hall continues and is expected to be complete by late December.

President Haynes said. With The Pride's last issue in hand, student Yolanda Castaño pointed out the discrepancy among CSU campuses and parkEingOermit prices. DT pR I "It's ridiculous the amount of money we have to pay." Castaño added. President Haynes cited two simple reasons behind the $90 fee increase; the campus is growing and construction costs are higher. She explained that while the excitement of a new campus and the new technology it has to offer is something that draws in admittance, "the downside is some of these other campuses built their parking lots twenty years ago. They're not continuing to build parking so they don't have to bank on it and they're not building parking lots at today's construction costs which are dramatically higher than even when I came here four years ago." The conversation eventually shifted from parking permits to student fee increases.

"Yes, we have the highest park- tional funding to cover the increase in costs of operations, the CSU Board of Trustees have approved a ten percent student fee increase. While many students explained that tuition costs are much higher than expected at such a small campus, President Haynes was quick to point out that CSU campuses as a whole are less expensive than other state colleges. "When you look at the state fees you pay and the local fees for student heath, parking, miscellaneous costs, I have to tell you that while I understand for many people it is a struggle to pay, California State University is one of the least expensive public universities in this nation by $1500 a year," said President Haynes. With no opportune way to change the fee increase of parking permits, students asked where they could go to be heard. President Haynes offered three ways for students to involve themselves with these campus issues. "One, student voices to the legislatures about funding. Two, if you want more information about what's banked in parking, certainly go get it from the people in parking and the Vice Presi- dent in Finance. Three, if there moment?

"However, we are still considered a young campus and in 'building mode.'" Knoblock also explained about 11 years ago the Chancellor's office decentralized parking programs' method of administer- ing and allocating funds.

Homeless in San Marcos BY JESSICA SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer Students may not be aware of the growing number of homeless people that surround San Marcos. According to the Regional Task Force on the Homeless, there were a total of 12 homeless people counted in San Marcos in 2006. They were found behind Palomar College, Mission Rd, Bradley Park, San Marcos Blvd, and Town Center. Outside of the city limits in Escondido where the population is 140,766, 894 homeless people reside. One problem that revolves around this issue is the minimal amount of homeless shelters. The Regional Task Force on the Homeless mentions that there are no homeless facilities in San Marcos. The only assistance available to these people comes from social service agencies that provide care to them. So who exactly are the homeless? According to the National Coalition for the Homeless, out of the 3.5 million people estimated to experience homelessness, 39 percent are children Families make up nearly 33 percent of the homeless. In 2004 the homeless population consisted of 49 percent A frican Americans, 35 percent Caucasians, 13 percent Hispanics, 2 percent Native Americans, and 1 percent Asians. Most people that experience homelessness are victims of domestic violence, drug addicts, people with mental illness, and war veterans. Students interested in helping can volunteer at nearby homeless shelters like Interfaith in Escondido and Brother Bennos in Oceanside. Students can also donate money and food to these shelters. The North County Food Bank, located in San Marcos, is especially needy. The North County Times recently reported that food banks are worried about whether they will have enough food to distribute to the homeless after the holidays. This shortage was caused in part by the recent fires that devastated our county. �SPORTS THE PRIDE Tuesday, December 4, 2007 Cromartie, Tomlinson guide Chargers to win BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer The Chargers came into Sunday's game in Kansas Gity, fresh off of a huge 34-14 win over Baltimore at home last week. The Chargers looked to carry that momentum into Arrowhead Stadium, where they took on the Chiefs in a heated AFC West contest. Defense got the job done on Sunday, and thanks to a pair of interceptions by rising star, Antonio Cromartie, the Chargers got a much needed win; 24-10.. These two teams faced off on September 30, resulting in a 30-16 Chargers loss. The Chiefs put the first points on the board on Sunday, thanks to a 38-yard John Carney field goal. The Chargers answered back with a 25-yard Nate Kaeding field goal at the 5:25 mark in the first quarter. Chargers quarterback, Philip Rivers showed some weakness early on, throwing an interception to Kansas City cornerback, Ty Law. Chargers cornerback, Antonio Cromartie intercepted Kansas City quarterback, Damon Huard for 28-yards, on the following possession. The score remained at 3-3 up until the 5:23 mark in the second quarter Huard put the Chiefs up by a touchdown on two-yard pass to Jared Allen. Philip rivers displayed his air game, passing 38-yards to meet wide receiver, Vincent Jackson in the end zone for an impressive touchdown that tied the game up at 10-10. The score would remain the same going into the halftime, only for LaDainian Tomlinson pick things up in early in the third, rushing for 31-yards and a touchdown. Tomlinson struck again, this time, early in the fourth quarter, with another long run for a touchdown. The touchdown was Tomlinson's 111th in his career, passing the legendary Walter Payton for third place on the all-time rushing touchdowns list. Antonio Cromartie intercepted yet another pass, this time, with three minutes left in the fourth quarter. Cromarte leads the league in interceptions, with eight. Cromartie's interception sealed the game at 24-10, but it was Tomlinson's achievements that took over the post-game interviews. On passing Walter Payton on the alltime rushing touchdowns list, Tomlinson said "It's definitely an honor just to be mentioned in the same breath with, in my opinion, the greatest running back that has ever played the game." The Chargers appear to be running away with first place in the AFC West with a record of 7-5. The Denver Broncos are in second place with a 5-6 record. The Chargers go into Tennessee next Sunday to take on the 7-5 Titans at 10:00 a.m. on CBS.

All around the county and the rest of the nation, various organizations and charities set up fundraisers and donations to make sure everyone receives a little holiday cheer. On campus, ASI is hosting a toy drive with the national charity foundation, Toys for Tots until Friday Dec. 7. All toys must be new and in their original packaging. Anyone with donations can drop off the toys at the ASI Business office, Recreation Center, or UVA Lobby. For more information, contact Jamie Inarda at inard001@csusm.edu. The Southern California wildfires in October left thousands without homes for the holidays. The American Red Cross is accepting donations to help aid fire victims. For information on stations in the area, visit www. redcross.org. The Native American Alliance for Emergency Preparedness is also looking for donations to help assist families of the eleven tribes in San Diego affected by the wildfires. In addition to damage of homes and land, the fires from the La Jolla reservation melted away the water lines, severely damaging their water source. To offer donations through the Native American Environmental Protection Coalition, visit www. naepc.org. The San Diego Foundation is currently seeking donations for their 'After the Fires Fund 2007' campaign. Their website offers donors the opportunity to select from which specific would prefer to donate to. Visit www.sdfoundation.org/fire2007/ for more information. Father Joe's Villages in San Diego is an organization that helps the homeless. People can help out by making cash donations, donate clothing, appliances, furniture, personal hygiene products and other dry goods, food donations, vehicle donations and through volunteer work. The best way for students to volunteer is by helping serve meals. For infor- mation on how to help, contact www.fatherjoesvillages.org. Being away from loved ones during the holidays is especially tough. Operation Homefront is a non-profit organization designed to provide emergency assistance and help increase moral to United States troops and their families. Anyone interested can visit www. o perationhomefront.net. Operation Homefront also sponsors the program eCarePackage, available at www.ecarepackage.org. Through I the program, people I can sponsor a service t member and therefore I send gifts and necessi* ties to service members | through a safe distribut tor. Sponsors can also e contact their service member through the website. All of these organizations and charities are available year round but if the urge to give strikes during this time of year, it may be best to act now. These examples are just few of the hundreds of thousands available. Local churches and schools are also great places to contact to help out families and children. Whether its buying an inexpensive gift at Wal-Mart or picking out canned food from the pantry, no effort will go unappreciated. For those who have grown used to expecting the worst, a little bit goes a long way.

BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer In today % technology Apple unveils their new cat with big claws Attention M ac users - that rejoicing you hear is the familiar s ound of sweet bliss BY ELBERT ESGUERRA Pride Staff Writer The nation was graced recently when OS X vl0.5 Leopard went on sale at all retailers. Apple is determined to revolutionize the interface of their existing platform and throw it into overdrive. This was the first major update to their existing OS in more than two years, which in Apple's lifetime is considered two years too long. OS X 10.4, or Tiger, came across as everything people wanted in an operating system with useful applications like Spotlight, Dashboard and VoiceOver. Packed with more than 300 new and improved features over Tiger, Leopard is available at a price point starting at a modest $129. New Macs bought a fter October requires an additional $9.95 to have Leopard installed. Minimum requirements to r un the new system are 867 MHz G4 or G5 system with an Intel processor and 512 MB of RAM with at least 9 GB of storage. A DVD reader or burner is also required. Among the major features users will encounter almost immediately include Time Machine, which backs up files after they've been modified. It checks every hour for files that have been modified and copies them to the hard drive. That being said, it would be a good idea to think about purchasing an external hard drive as well. Screen Sharing allows remote access to your computer and vice versa through another via iChat. Leopard utilizes progressive rendering to recreate desktops so that if you're slowed down by a long connection, the process doesn't happen pixel by pixel. This enables people to share photos or music or anything else with friends without having to share an entire hard drive. The Finder has a glossy new facelift as well. Some features now share similarities to the UI in iTunes 7, which includes Cover Flow. The Dock sports a nice reflective shelf for applications to reside to incorporate a stacked view of icons in both a fanned and a grid arrangement. Even Spotlight, which first introduced on Tiger, has received a very substantial upgrade. Users can now search across multiple computers on the same network - u seful for those with a laptop and desktop, or for homes and businesses in which files are randomly stored all over the place. But like any good household, why make the computer a mess? Simply put without expanding on all 300-plus features, Leopard exceeds Apple's vision of perfection. The expectations for it aren't as daunting unlike the arrival of Windows Vista which came under heavy scrutiny for a number of bugs and lack of software compatibility. Asking to compare the two would be like arguing over the same side of a coin. The bottom line is that Leopard provides an elegant UI that Image Courtesy of Apple Inc.

It is a sophisticated, well-crafted piece of technological tool packed with many surprises that does very little to disappoint. �JL l j i l 1 V J l \ J L / 0 F EATURES THE PRIDE ; Tuesday, December 4, 2007 Websit^of The W eek illllllllSllSll BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer a live television show to the desktop.

Then at the end of the day, you will have a clear No. 1 and No. 2 playing in the BCS championship. You will have a clear No. 3 and No. 4 playing at the Rose Bowl. And then the four teams that loss in the first round, you match them up and let them play one another in the Sugar and Fiesta Bowls. But then again, there are still flaws to the system. Just like one can always argue that this team deserved to be in the BCS championship game instead of this team, which always becomes easier after the games are played and there is a blowout. Or this team didn't win their conference; therefore we aren't going to give them a chance at a championship. No matter what happens, or what satisfaction comes for some schools like Hawaii who are finally going to have a chance to prove themselves to a competitive team that felt like they were robbed out the BCS championship game. Now Georgia, like USC are going to have to come out firing on Jan. 1 as Georgia had a chance to make it the BCS championship game but were unable to capitalize like LSU did with a victory over No. 14 Tennessee. But Georgia is going to have a hard time defending one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the league. In a must win game against Washington, Brennan completed 42 of 50 passes for 442 yards and 5 touchdowns. Now with a month of rest, Brennan will be the healthiest he has been in a while and will be looking to lead the Warriors to one last victory.

They alone have mastered the skill of making movies with humor and action. Each one has something familiar to each other, but they are all original and refreshing. "No Country For Old Men" is the same. This film has me laughing out loud one moment and out of my chair from tension the next. The direction and performances are doses of brilliance seen so rarely these days. Even though this film has strong hints f rom their other flicks such as "Fargo" and "O Brother, Where A rt Thou" it stays completely original and entertaining. The story follows many characters who become intertwined a fter a d rug deal gone wrong in late 20th century Texas. We follow Llewellyn Moss (Josh Brolin), a country man who stubbles upon $2 million while hunting one day. Since the cash was involved in a bloody d rug t raffic incident, he is in big risk. When angry Mexicans, Sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), and a psychotic killer named Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) enter the scene, the chase is on. But where this movie soars is in the details. The cinematography and acting are brilliant. Tommy Lee Jones, who has recently been reduced to bad comedies, is on top form. For more proof see "The Three Burials of Melquiadas Estradas", which he also directed. As well Brolin is excellent as a man on the run. But the real award for acting goes to Bardem who gives one of the best performances of a killer in Image courtesy of Paramount Pictures a long time. He has depth unlike so many other villains. And though he is extremely clever, he also makes mistakes, adding to the realism of the piece. I cannot speak highly enough for this film, "No Country For Old Men", is one of the best of 2007. Already it is number 23 on the IMDB top 250 films of all time with an astounding rating of 8.9 out of ten. This film is only for those who can handle intense visuals and tension, but it so worth it. Be prepared to j ump from you seat and yell "Oi!" This is one to watch over and over, so be sure to see it. Rock Band- It goes to eleven BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer After you master Dragonforce on "Guitar Hero 3", where do you go? There is not much more to do besides practice going between the green and orange buttons faster. Well, if you want a little bit more, whether it be new songs, or even a different instrument, "Rock Band" is the game for you. You can still play guitar or bass, but this game takes it two steps further and allows you to hammer it out on drums or wow the crowd with vocals. That's right you have to sing. This game follows very heavily in the vein of the "Guitar Hero" series. The BY BREANNE CAMPOS Pride Staff Writer button structure on the stringed instruments is the same from green to orange. Plus the game is just as difficult on expert. But this one has something that sets it a little bit higher, it is simply more f un. With the capability ofhaving four people, all on different instruments, it naturally is more enjoyable. It is not just about who is better, but also working together to score big. When one person fails, it is up to the rest of the band to "save" them. Playing the drums is addicting and laughs cannot be more bountiful than watching someone trying to keep up singing. The graphics may be a bit weak, but when you are playing with three other people, it feels like you are actually performing. As for the selection of songs, they could not have done better. They took the best songs from some of the greatest bands through rock history to make this game soar. So whether you drum, strum, or sing, anybody can enjoy the pure f un in "Rock Band". I can honestly rate this game very highly. But as you may be aware there is a big problem with this game, namely the price. If you want to rock, you have got to pay. Those who can afford it, go for it. Otherwise, write Santa daily. This game is the perfect blend of f un, difficulty, and rock. music, and a Big Santa.

Jed Smock and Cindy Smock are self-proclaimed Confrontational Evangelists from the Nondenominational College Community Church of Newark, Ohio. The Smocks would often times resort to name calling, judgment casting, and the attacking of someone's character, in order to get their audience listening and responding to what they wanted to lecture about.

The tree seems normal for this time of year, but on closer inspection, a person can find the true purpose of this Christmas tree, or as aptly named, the Angel Tree.

This has caused an uproar of student complaints about the deadline falling so close to Christmas. "I think it's stupid," says CSUSM student Brianne Donnellan, "I think they should have given more advanced notice. It's way too close to Christmas." "Prompt payment is being enforced because we have had problems in the past with students registering for classes and not paying their fees," says Marietta Kimball of Student Financial Services. She explained that students that do not pay by the December 19 deadline will be dropped from the system and any classes they have registered for will be open for other students. "I urge students to apply for financial aid," says Rosemary Henk of Financial Services. "If financial aid is already in place, it will defer for financial aid disbursement," explained Kimball. If a student has financial aid and it covers the entire tuition, he/she does not have to worry about the deadline. If, however, financial aid does not fully cover the tuition, the student will be required to pay the remaining fee by the December 19 deadline. If a student still wishes to apply for financial aid, he/she can do so, but the student must still pay the tuition fees for the spring semester. If the application is approved and the student receives financial aid, the tuition payment may be refunded to the student No billing statements are sent out to students. "That would be too much work," says Henk. Registration begins around the end of October and continues through December. Henk says the school would have to send out billings statements every day to all the students. In addition, the students that registered that particular day and the ones that register in December would run out of time before the payments arrived in the mail. "It's become more of the student's responsibility," says Henk. She says it is unfortunate that the payment falls so close to Christmas but this change is permanent and the tuition deadline will fall this close to Christmas every year from now on. Students can also expect that the tuition payment deadline for Fall 2001 will come at the end of Spring semester 2001. | j | | | | | j | | j j | ; ;••• Campus mm^m IlllJliliillllllllij • In After Jed Smock and his family preached for several hours on Monday, November 27, students observing them grew restless. Among the angry outcries and the loud laughter, one student decided to prove his point by mooning the female preacher. A cross-country athlete and freshman at CSUSM, Josh Wing, pulled down his pants and laughingly joked, "Let there be light." Coach Steve Scott was unaware of the incident, but said, "Once I find out who did that, they will be severely reprimanded." » Article continues on page 2 Page!

This is their second visit to CSUSM. Their five daughters (Charlotte, Evangeline, Justine, Martha, and Presley) accompanied them, as well as friend and preacher, Sister Pat. According to the preachers, universities are a breeding ground for sinful lifestyles. The Smocks also say that universities are responsible for the mis-education of students on such "antichristian" ideas as evolution and natural selection and lead their students away from the Bible. After Cindy Smock gave a sermon on how fraternities and sororities were the "breeding ground for premarital fornication and the deflowering of young women," she spoke to a Pride reporter. "We are preaching against the party lifestyle and, therefore, it is not a big surprise that they [students] are not really open to changing their points of view," said Sister Cindy. Preacher Jed and his wife, Cindy, tried to convey the idea of abstaining from what they called "a party lifestyle" and the substitution ofthat lifestyle with the following of Jesus. They expressed the concept of avoiding all drugs (from marijuana and alcohol to cigarettes), abstaining from premarital sex, and not listening to music or watching TV and movies with violent or suggestive, "unchristian" implications. The Smocks also preached that women should follow their husbands, take care of the children, and be submissive to their husbands. "In a marital relationship it is the Amman's duty to follow the man, wherever he shall lead her," said Jed Smock. The women in the crowd contested the preachers' opinions. CSUSM student Katie Steimle asked, "They're humorous. Do they think that anyone could take them seriously? They take the Bible way out of context!" "Their [students'] reaction is fairly typical. Students havea't changed since I began my lectures, they remain narrow minded and un-open to the truth, any idea will be tolerated except Christianity," said Jed Smock. "They [Smocks] are too judgmental. He [Jed Smock] says there is only , one way and that is his way. If his way is the right way, I'm not getting involved in that," said one student. "He's real brave to come and speak to all these students about what he thinks and feels," commented student Allen Kruse. Sister Pat continues to preach as a student pulls down his pants.

Photo by Enrique Refugio Cross Country Athlete Mooning »Article cont. from page 1 When asked if an individual athlete's outside behavior reflects upon the team, Steve Scott noted that individuals are judged on an individual basis only, meaning that the student's behavior had no reflection upon the cross-country team as a whole. Chief Schultheis of the University Police commented on the incident, "It is a far stretch to call it indecent exposure." "It is in the realm of behavior that is disorderly conduct," he added, "when we [University Police] identify the student, we will direct him or her to the student affairs' judicial process." Dean of Student Affairs Jonathan Poullard said that the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs handles the formal, judicial process on campus. Poullard explained that a formal letter is sent to the student informing him or her of what he or she is believed to have violated. The student then meets with the Assistant Dean in a formal conference. After that, two things can occur: the conference will lead into a hearing that will decide how to handle the student's violation, or the student and Assistant Dean will negotiate a contract to deal with the repercussiqhs of the situation. Wing was one of many students who listened to the sermon in the free speech area located between Academic Hall and the Science Building. Fellow athletes, Brian Eaton and Tony Lederman, described the Smock situation as "funny." Lederman said the preacher was "making a fool of h erself' and that "she shouldn't abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Everyone has the right to freely express himself or herself and especially on college campuses where a free speech area is set aside for the use of a "marketplace of i deas" Students like Bartges believe the preacher's use of the free speech area is "totally out of line." Chief Schultheis says there "is a thin line between provoking and threatening [language]. It is unfortunate the student was upset." Yet, it is the constitutional right of the preacher and everyone to use the free speech area. "There are some parameters [within the right to speak freely]," said Schultheis, "You can't provoke violence. You can yell fire in the middle of the parking lot, but if you yell, ' fire' in a full, dark theater, you are no longer within your constitutional right." This is the second visit to CSUSM by Jed Smock and his fellow preachers. Smock believes he will return in the spring but he will not be bringing his family.

When pointed out that the preachers were in the free speech area and that anyone is welcome to "impose" their views there, the three freshmen grew excited and one asked, "So anyone can say what they want here?" Student Elaina Bartges was one of many observers in the free speech area on Monday. Bartges said she had been called numerous names from the preacher, including "slut," which upset her. Regarding the preachers' use of the free speech area, Chief Schultheis said, "They are trying to get attention using terms that will get a response, but it is a tough issue because you are dealing with constitutional rights."

Smock photos by Enrique Refugio Preacher Cindy Smock helps her husband, Jed Smock, preach at colleges across the nation. Students gathered on Palm Court to see ancient Japanese traditions for Japanese Culture Day on Thursday, November 30. The traditions included a live tea ceremony and ikebana (a flower arrangement ceremony), The tea, known as "usucha," was prepared by the Teishu, Taemi, and served to six student participants. Taemi's serious face broke into a smile as the tea ceremony, usually performed indoors, was complicated by rising winds that blew the tea ladle around the table. "The tea was really tangy," commented Shane, a student participating in the tea ceremony One student said, "The ceremony was so proper and detailed with movement." After the ceremony, students were able to eat many different Japanese foods including rice balls, kasutera (similar to sponge cake), kompeito (small sugar can- dies), and okaki (round rice crackers). The Ohara School Ikebana Demonstration showed the different styles of floral arrangements; students were then able to create their own versions of ikebana. Ms. Ise Hufffman, Second Term Master for the school, demonstrated different ways to arrange flowers inside shallow water bowls, known as "suiban." She placed a metallic bed of pins, called "kenzan," inside the suiban to secure the flowers and used lilies, protea, loquat, carnations, and baby's breath in her arrangement. In addition to the tea ceremony and ikebana demonstrations, many other cultural elements were presented: hung from bamboo poles were banners of Japanese toys, food, architecture, anime, and religion. "I am overwhelmed, there is a lot to look at here," remarked one student at the event. The Japanese Club and Anime Club cosponsored Japanese Culture Day. �On Campus The Pride Tuesday, December 5,2000 3 'Tis the Season to Be Stressing By: Jared E. Young Pride Staff Writer Stress is an unavoidable part of life that comes from work, * relationships, school, driving, and everything else that people do on a day-to-day basis. Stress is good to some degree. It drives us to succeed and increases productive ity, however, there is a fine line where stress ceases to be productive and becomes dangerous. The negative affects of stress are manifested differently in everyone. Whether it is sickness, anger, depression, or suicide, signs of stress eventually begin to show in everybody. According to the American Institute of Stress (AIS), 75-90 percent of all visits to primary care physicians are stress-related. 43 percent of all adults suffer adverse health affects due to stress. These health problems often include heart disease, cancer, respiratory problems, and cirrhosis* Causes of Stress Pressure is one cause of stress. There is the pressure at work, the pressure to be on time while driving, the pressure to make the people around us happy, and the pressure to perform well at school. Final exams at Cal State San Marcos end on December 18, just one week before Christmas and in the middle of the holiday - season. Most students have loved ones for whom they feel obligated to buy gifts, thus having to work full-time and go to school. With the added pressures of finals, December becomes a very dangerous t ime. when it comes to stress management. During the "stress season," it is important for families and friends to remember that students have enough pressure. Families can help by being nurturing and supportive. Handling Stress Stress can be curtailed if it is detected early. Just like any other infectious disease, stress can be halted, slowed, or lessened by searching for and recognizing the early warning signs. The University of Oklahoma Police Department states that early warning signs of stress include, but are not limited to, fatigue, nervous tics, excessive sweating, nightmares, muscular pain, sexual difficulties, change in appetite, and insomnia. While these are not the only indicators of stress, they are good signs that a student or adult has an excessive amount of stress. If stress is not caught early, it can lead to greater consequences, such as aggressive behavior and suicide. If the warning signs are Academic Bulletin recognized, there a re a number of ways to reduce the amount of stress in life. Exercise is a good stress reliever and many schools and workplaces offer weight rooms, where stress can be worked off. Meditation can be a great help, and just talking with someone about problems can often make life and its problems much easier. For more information on ways to release stress, contact the human resources department where you work, or visit CSUSM's Counseling and Psychological Services web site at www.csusm.edu/caps. The holiday season can add stress to anyone, let alone a student. Balancing time and prioritizing tasks can reduce the amount of stress by more than half: as each project is completed, another weight is lifted off the shoulders. No school or job is worth the amount of stress that it can cause, or the affects that stress can eventually lead to. This is why most jobs and schools offer ways for their students and/or employees ways to release stress and enjoy life. For more information on stress and how to cope with stress, check the University of Oklahoma's website at www.ou.edu/oupd/stress.htm. or the website for the American Institute of Stress at www.stress.org.

Cacas, who now tutors in the Writing Center said, "When she was my tutor, she taught me that writing for GEW 101 was not a restrictor of creative analysis. I learned that you can still be creative in everything you write."

The sold-out theater of 1,250 people heard an unforgettable performance by Jewel and her opening act, Steve Poltz. Poltz, a local artist with the Rugburns, started off the night with a new song, "What Would Gandhi Do?" that he wrote on the plane earlier in the day. In between songs, Poltz told humorous and insightful stories about the songs and the crowd loved every minute of it. For his last song of his 50-minute set, Poltz invited San Diego Padres' Tim Flannery to sing "Silver Jewel performed in San Diego on November 15. Photo by West Kennedy Lining" on stage with him: this was a great way to end a great set. After the opening act, Jewel walked on stage to the cheers of the crowd. Her first song of the night was a new one titled, "Does Anyone Believe in Love?" Jewel, like Poltz, told stories in between her songs. Her topics ranged from her teeth to Brittney Spears, and she always made the crowd laugh. The highlight of the night occurred when she invited Poltz back onstage to sing a few songs with her. Their duet of "You Were Meant for Me" was amazing; the contrast 6f two different, yet, melodic voices was a treat to hear. Jewel's set was a mix of old and new songs like "Does Anyone Believe in Love," "Foolish Games," "Who Will Save Your Soul?," to old Java Joe's days songs like "Racecar Driver." Her encore song was "Angels Standing By." Jewel's voice is truly amazing, and she hit the high notes with perfect clarity. Her voice sent me on a tranquil journey. Jewel's 90-minute set was a very amazing experience that I will always remem-, ber. As the lights went on again, and everyone was leaving, I Couldn't help but feel that I had seen one of the greatest shows of my life. If you haven't seen Jewel or Steve Poltz perform live, I would suggest you do so. It will be one of the best shows you will see. Book Review: The Self Aware Universe In The Self Aware Universe, author Amit Goswani, Ph.D., attempts t o make a case for*an idealist worldview based on.modern discoveries in physics. Goswani is a professor of physics at the Institute of Theoretical Sciences at the University of Oregon. He has previously written two physics texts and numerous scientific papers. Goswani's background in hard science and academia is one of the factors that allow him to put forth a book on metaphysics that is far more convincing and perceptive than typical new-age faire. Modern physics tells us that sub-atomic particles such as electrons and photons are, in fact, not particles, but waveforms of potential positions and velocities. According to Goswani, it is the mind of the observer that produces matter and not the other way around. Goswani goes on to posit a single universal mind that finds a focal point in each individual. Lest a potential reader be scared away by mention of technical jargon from physics and philosophy, it should be pointed out that Goswani does a brilliant job of distilling the Arcanum of these fields down into everyday language. Goswani also makes good use of descriptive analogies to clarify his ideas for readers. Gowani's work is more than a conglomeration of mysticism and pseudo-science. He makes a considered and cohesive argument for an idealistic philosophy based on modern science, and Goswani's book makes for fascinating reading for anyone interested in philosophy and science. u m i r i vif it t is t in By: Jeff Brownlee Pride Staff Writer Laptop Repair • Sales & Service • Rentals, a nd M ore...

Goldberg said of Sanchez, "I hired Alex particularly because of his reputation for working with non-artists and his ability to bring them to a place where they feel they can create and implement art." Students were asked to create three rough sketches of ideas for the mural. Five common themes emerged from these sketches: Although often passed by without a second glance, the mural in the hallway by the library does occupy a significant place in the history of CSUSM as the first piece of public art on permanent display. The mural, a five-paneled display whose themes are "Dreams," "Tradition," "Diversity," "Environment" and "Technology," was created in 1994. It was the brainchild of then-professor in the § Department of Education, Dr. Merryl Goldberg, while she was teaching a course called "Learning and Instruction." Goldberg, who is now with the Visual and Performing Arts Department, said i n her b ook, Arts and Learning, "The mural project was designed to engage the students in creating an educational philosophy, then representing and communicating that philosophy." the importance of kids' dreams and wishes linking the past to the present and to the future embracing multicultural diversity the environment and its importance to learning and culture technology's role in teaching and learning As it turned out, these five themes became the themes that were used in the final product. History Early in its development, seriSeptember 1994: The ous debates began to emerge Learning and Instruction class regarding the representation of each theme. Regarding these debates, Goldberg said, "Because the mural .was to become a public art piece, debate as to what was appropriate to portray versus what was not became a serious consideration." One particular debate began when an African-American student wanted to include a Black Power symbol in the mural. Debates similar to this continued, with the primary concern being equal representation for the values of all cultures and some modicum of political correctness. In her book, Goldberg cites one student who said, "The project lost luster for me when our idea was questioned due to concern over 'political correctness'. I just wish we had no limitations on what we could do, but that's not possible with public art." Despite these debates, students were able to collaborate and reach mutual agreements that, while not exactly what each wanted, were, for the most part, sufficient. October-November: The mural project faced its first administrative challenge during this time. Then-university president Bill Stacy attempted to cancel the L a r r y K arush: "Art of the Improviser" By Christopher F. Orman Pride Staff Writer Approximately fifty people attended Larry Karush's solo piano performance held in Academic Hall 102 on November 29. Performing an hour and a half long set, Karush continually revealed his ability to meld other ethnic and folk musical genres into the style of jazz. During the performance, the audience became entranced, as Karush typically opened each song with, a distinctive African sound. As the song progressed, Karush played rolling arpeggios and dissonant harmonics, leading the listener to the far out reaches of jazz. Typically from the freeform dissonance, Karush would return with a snippet of Johann Bach or Fredric Chopin. "To be honest, I am trying to wrestle between my multiple interests in music," Karush told the audience in a question session following the performance. "The dissonance existing between the African and Classical elements becomes a musical expression of my attempt to synthesize two musical forms," Karush iterated. Throughout the evening, Pianist Larry Karush Photo courtesy of CSUSM Karush played compositions embodying his musical and philosophical pursuits. In particular, "Banjo Variations" began sounding rather similar to Earl Scrugg's bluegrass banjo playing. As Karush gained momentum, the song suddenly evolved into jazz phrasings, only to end with a brief quote from Chopin's "Sonata #3." Later in the evening, the energetic "The Salsa Way" continued Karush's attempts to synthesize two different styles of music. Beginning with a quote from John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme," Karush violentlyflewinto a multilayered, free-jazz improvisational section yielding a large amount of disharmony. Out of the improvisation arose a simple salsa sec-, fion, which gave rise to another free-jazz section. Karush on "The Salsa Way" continued to allow Coltrane's "A Love Supreme" and the salsa elements for brief moments, before launching into heavier, harmonics-based vamping, On the subject of how classical music has influenced him, Karush said, "Despite how much I was forced into learning classical music at an early age, the music and the composers will remain a focus of my research and always a part of my music." Over the next few years, Karush plans on studying the compositions of Alexander Scriabin. Karush currently has one solo CD released titled The Art of the Improviser; which features some of the compositions he performed at CSUSM, As for future recordings of his work, Karush plans on releasing several CDs independ e n t "when time and money permits." project because, as the class was told, the university did not have a policy on permanent art. "I never in a million years thought there would be politics involved, but when you're dealing with public art, you're dealing with politics," said Goldberg. Stacy's hesitancy may have been sparked by events at San Francisco State University the previous year where a student mural became a source of controversy when it was discovered to contain symbols related to the Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. December: With the assistance of the Dean of the College of Education, the project was allowed to continue. The proposal was that the College of Education would lease the wall space for the mural for three years, after which time a policy on permanent art ^would be in place. If the mural did not meet the requirements of this policy, it would be painted over. With the approval of the leasing plan, the project began. Throughout mid-December, the students, with Sanchez's supervi- sion and advice, begin to paint the mural, first applying a primer coat, then the actual design. The mural began to attract attention from local media, including CNN. A second crisis came in late December when the students' ideas for the "Diversity" panel were found not to translate well into visual representation. At Sanchez's suggestion, the panel was divided into smaller squares, one for each student in the class. Each student then painted a child's selfportrait on his/her square. February: After the winter break, the students held a dedication ceremony on February 2. More than one hundred guests and media people attended. In retrospect, Goldberg said, "Everyone really felt good about [the mural] but not everyone thought it was exactly what they wanted to see." When asked if she would do a project like this again, she said, "Now, five or six years later l ean imagine doing it again, but right after it was done, I don't think so." *.Photos by Cheryl Cline A Look at the CSUSM Vocal Ensemble By: Steve Kerrin Pride Staff Writer Still in its first year, the CSUSM Vocal Ensemble is one example of a startup program on campus that has high hopes for the future. All members agree that while the songs they are performing, mostly folk tunes and children's songs, are different from what they expected; they have, nevertheless, been funvto perform. Christian Wehba commented, "I didn't realize that we would be singing mostly children's music but we're performing for kids so what do you expect?" His sentiments were echoed by Denise Mitchell-Carignan who said, "I expected more classical and some show tunes and that kind of thing." Ensemble Director Merryl Goldberg said of her choice of songs, "I realized that we had a wide range of experience in terms of singing, so I thought I 'd choose pieces that were fairly easy but which could be made more difficult by adding rounds and harmonies." Goldberg estimated the range of experience to be evenly split, with about half the students having prior chorale experience and the other half with little or no experience. Goldberg also said, "When I realized there were a bunch of future teachers in the group, I decided to make kids songs a focus." Her selections were appreciated by at least one student, Katelynn Miller, who said, "I'll definitely use some of them in my classroom when I teach." Miller, Wehba, and MitchellCarignan mentioned that they had been trying for several semesters to get the ensemble started. There was interest from the department, but not until Goldberg transferred from the College of Education was anyone able to take the job. Upon her transfer, Goldberg said, "Bill (Bradbury, another Visual and Performing Arts instructor) and I were both aware that students wanted a chorus so we both decided to make it happen. Since he was on sabbatical arid I was interested in making it happen, I became the leader." . The Vocal Ensemble's first and only performance this semester will be on Thursday, December 14 at Felicita School in Escondido. The class will be held next semester on Wednesday afternoon at 4pm. Enrollment is open to both students and. staff. Since the class this semester was a success despite its moderate experience level, Goldberg says that anyone thinking of taking the class should not worry if they have never done it before, "It will sound great, don't worry, and don't be shy." �The Pride Letters to the Editors The P ride Co-Bditor Opinioa Bdite Graduate Intern Family Advisor Meianie Addington Victoria BjSegali Darcy Walker Jayoe Bramaa MadWetae R Marshall " M cpiiiojis and letters to the edited, published in I fte represent the opinions of the author, and do not necessarily represent the views of The i Pride, or of Caiiforim State University San Marcos.

I have been actively involved in the club process as well as ICC for the past two years. It is true, last year, ICC was a difficult entity to deal with, however I feel that the improvements made this year have been of great benefit to clubs on campus. This includes the addition of Mr. Brad Schmidt's position as the Club Services Technician as well as the formation of the CSFC. Regarding her comments about the various entities in which clubs must deal, I feel she may be misinformed as to the purposes behind these various entities and processes facing clubs at CSUSM. The first issue is concerning the re-chartering of clubs and club officer training. All clubs are required to re-charter at the beginning of every school year, regardless of their standing the previous year. Training of club leaders is also required of clubs each year. Presidents and treasurers are required to attend and club advisors are encouraged to attend this training. The purpose of this training is to inform club leaders of the various paperwork required in doing club banking, making facility requests, as well as to be informed of the requirements for posting of club events and the processes involved for having particular events both on and off campus as well as club funding. Secondly, regarding the creation of a Club Services Technician, I feel this has been a wonderful asset to the process of functioning as a club on campus. Pride Student Poll Results* www.csusm.edu/ pride ASI Responds Fellow Students, This is your Student Government responding to the letter printed in the opinion section of our school newspaper on November 28, 2000. First, while we would like to applaud Kathleen Hash for her courage and school spirit in taking the time to express her displeasure at a system that, in her words, "is an inefficient bureaucracy", we need to note that most of her information was inaccurate. Associated Students, Incorporated (ASI), is not here to monitor the press or to stifle public opinion, rather, we feel that the students should hear both sides of an issue to allow them to make informed choices. ASI provides the official voice of the students and in doing so we have and will continue to encourage people to speak up on issues that will make their experience here at CSUSM more meaningful. We invite anyone to come to our office in Commons 203 or talk to your ASI college representatives regarding any issues you would like to see action taken on. We are writing this letter today to clarify information that was What would you like to have as a new major on campus? reported inaccurately and to let you, the students, know that ASI is here to support you. Issue 1.The name Inter Club Council was changed to Inter Club Committee to clarify their role and responsibility. ICC has always been a sub committee of Associated Students, Inc., and was designed to provide a place where clubs can come together and work on joint projects, discuss issues on campus, and inform other clubs of events they are planning. Issue 2. While Gezai Berhane, the Assistant Director of Student and Residential Life, is an important part of the ICC, he did not supervise nor direct ASI in the restructuring of ICC and the process that is used to fund events on campus. ASI, along with the ICC Chair Newsha Digius, and the Club Service Technician, Brad Schmidt, worked with information provided from last year's ICC to develop a comprehensive plan to allow clubs to access resources easier and more efficiently. Issue 3. The ASI Vice President of Finance has worked through the summer and into the fall semester to assure that equal representation of the ICC was available on the committee that HAVE AN OPINION? The addition of this position has streamlined the paper trail for clubs in that there is now a "one-stop shop" for clubs to visit with their concerns and to turn in paperwork. Mr. Schmidt is knowledgeable regarding what is required of clubs and has been very helpful in all aspects of the operation of my club. This ranges from helping us set up events such as our CPR class as well as the answering of any question my club has had in regard to policies and procedures. As for the formation of the CSFC, I feel this too is a benefit to clubs. By adding the CSFC, ICC can now focus on other club issues, not bicker for two or more hours about what club gets money, what club doesn't, and how much money should be granted for a particular event. Engineering: 22.73% Film: 27.27% Journalism: 22.73% Other: 27.27% approves funding for club events. This process is new and it did take time, however, the committee has been in place for over a month and ICC as a whole is satisfied with the results. We realize that change is difficult and with change comes a "trial period" to discover if the changes that were made had the impact that was intended or if an adjustment needs to happen. This is our "trial period". We are in the process of making adjustments to accommodate the students' needs as they present themselves. We will continue to support students and in keeping with our campaign slogan "Together we can make a difference'V we will continue to work toward building a better campus life and enhancing the university experience for all students. We in ASI are students just like yourselves, and we strive to make your college experience more enjoyable. Any help that you can provide that may help us better serve you, and the rest of the student body will be very much appreciated. Happy Holidays from your Associated Students Board of Directors SUBMIT A LETTER I feel the guidelines regarding funding are very clear and understandable. In addition, this funding is not just for multi-club events, but available to any club who follows the standards set forth to receive such funds. In the past, the clubs who received funds were able to negotiate the system to their benefit while others were not as successful. In addition, it is not a requirement that clubs attend the CSFC meetings, but they are welcome to attend. Yes, ICC meeting attendance is a requirement for clubs. But what better way to know what other clubs are doing, how we can help to make each other's clubs be more successful, and to learn more about what our responsibilities are as a club on campus? I have enjoyed ICC much more this term than last year and the addition of workshops, which are open to the campus community at large, have been beneficial to me as a club leader. Being a leader of a club on campus is a great privilege and responsibility. It is my opinion, as leaders it is our responsibility to seek out the information we need to be successful, not to wait and have information spoon-fed to us. If we have questions, we must ask them, not wait to be told the answers. I feel that the changes made this semester have put ICC back on track for its intended purpose: to help clubs, succeed on campus and increase campus life. Jennifer Moon President, Future Educators Club Other responses included: Film/TV Production, Religious Studies, Physics, Criminology *A t otal of 39 s tudents r eplied I CC Explained Students must Play Part to Promote Life I am writing in response to the letter written by Kathleen Hash under the title of "Club Leader Saddened by the Lack of Improvement in the ICC" that the Pride featured in its November 28, 2000 issue. To those of you who do not know what the InterClub Committee (ICC) is, let me please explain. The InterClub Committee was created in order to unify the diverse clubs at Cal State University San Marcos. The main purpose of the ICC is to serve as a forum in which clubs come together for the purpose of information sharing, leadership development, campus community development, and to establish a network by which clubs can communicate their concerns and ideas regarding university or club activities. ICC aims to promote student life on campus; however, that is only possible if individual students and clubs are equally committed to that purpose. Much of what was written in the letter by Kathleen Hash was false due to a lack of information. In her list of attempts to work with and understand ICC and ASI, TO THE EDITORS TO Kathleen left out the fact that she has not come to the last four ICC meetings. Therefore, it would be difficult for her to see the progress that ICC has made this semester due to her lack of attendance at meetings. Also, as a Pride Staff Writer, Kathleen would have served the students better had she contacted the appropriate offices (The Associated Students Inc., and the Student and Residential Life) or at the least, spoken to me to learn more about the issues she had raised in her opinion. As Hie current ICC Chair, I know that many changes have been made but they are not merely "cosmetic". Over the past three years I have been involved with ICC, I have seen the changes it has gone through and I know it will continue to change and develop as our university grows.

Domanic Thomas, the ASI coordinatorforcampus recreation and Sara Gallegos, the ASI coordinator of student activities, and seven CSUSM students will be traveling to New Orleans during the upcoming Spring- Break to assist with the destruction created by Hurricane Katrina, / Hurricane Katrina " formed in late August durin^^flie 2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season. Katrina mainly affected the Gulf Coast states of Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi; the hurricane also created an estimated damage of $81.2 billion and took the lives of 1,836 people. Controversy started after people became enraged at federal, state, and local governments' reactions to the aftermath of the hurricane. Kanye West responded on a news program with "George Bush does not care about black people." The former director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Michael Brown, resigned shortly thereafter, stating it was for "The best interest of the agency and best interest of the president." Over one year has passed, and yet the damage inflicted by the hurricane has not fully been repaired. Gallegos said, "This year we will be taking a group of seven students to New Orleans to work with Habitat for Humanity Collegiate Challenge.

Established in 1988 by the World Health Organization, World AIDS Day serves to acknowledge the devastating impact of AIDS around the world. On December 1st, CSUSM students and members of the community participated in a candlelight vigil where participants walked from Chavez Circle to Library Plaza where they listened to speakers whose own lives have been impacted by AIDS. Photo by Kelly Corrigan / The Pride VOL. XVI NO. 15 ASIST mentors lend a hand to first generation college students BY PAMELA CASTILLO Pride Staff Writer According to the National Center for Education Statistics, "first-generation college students r un the highest risk of dropping out of college." Luckily though, there is group at CSUSM named ASIST comprised of first-generation college students and alumni that aims at changing that statistic. Founders of ASIST formed the group to help first-generation students achieve their aspirations of attending college. Historically, high school students who do not have at least one parent with a higher education are faced with much greater difficulties when trying to make the transition from high school to the university. ASIST is a community service group that began five years ago from a simple conversation between several first generation students discussing their own difficulties with the educational system. ASIST reaches out to local high school students as mentors. It works as a big brother and big sister program that specifically helps high school students make the transition to college. The mentors of this group lend a helping hand to local high school students by making themselves available to answer any questions about college. Simultaneously, they attempt to gain the support of the student's family. The mentors share their own struggles with their college experience as they make the idea of transferring to college a less intimidating one and transform it into the idea that college is an experience of a lifetime.

Program Director Judy Papenhausen, and Registered Nurse JoAnn Daugherty along with nursing advisor Laurie Lindeneau were among many who welcomed the 43 students who make up the Spring 2007 nursing cohort. Less than 50 students have gone before them. By the means of providing care, coordinating care, teaching, and advocating, the nursing program stresses the traditional concepts of nursing, including health, person and environment. Since the program's initial beginning, CSUSM has thus far achieved a goal they will continually strive to accomplish. The program's goal is to recruit a student population which is representative of the ethnic and cul- tural diversity in the local community and to prepare students to serve the nursing needs of our culturally diverse society. During the orientation, Daugherty informed students on clinical lab requirements such as course prerequisites, heather blue scrubs, student drug screens, and nursing identification tags. She also encouraged students to join the CSUSM chapter of the National Student Nurses' Association. All nursing students are required to take an introductory course where their professors will place a strong emphasis on how See NURSING, page 2 �THE (^JPRIDE T V CIr KÌ* ¡T; HIÏM V SN MIÇi v « AT" NAÌ AI NVUl A ÂÔr f D ITORÌAL STAFF EDITOR: ÌN QHIEF DAVID GARTIY ,BUSINESS MANAGER JASON ENCABO LAYOUT EDITOR MARY FOIEY HEWS EDITOR KELLY CORRIGAN FEATURES EDITOR DAVID BAUER ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR SOPHIE BRINK ONLINE EDITOR & DISTRIBUTION MANAGER AMANDA ANDREEN ADVISOR JÓAN ANDERSON ..

Habitat for Humanity states seven reasons why students should participate in the Collegiate Challenge. The seven reasons are: to improve leadership skills, develop and strengthen friendships, see the impact the work is having on communities, learn more about poverty housing issues and how one can help, visit new areas of the country, a ffect a global cause by advocating on behalf of poverty housing issues, and help provide a simple, decent, affordable place to live for people in need. "We will be staying at Camp Hope," said Gallegos, "which is the volunteer camp. There will be other volunteer groups f rom around the country there the same time we will be there so it will be a great opportunity for our students to interact with others that share a common goal. Also we won't j ust be working the whole time; we plan f un activities for the evenings so that the students have a well-rounded trip," she explained. Students who wish to participate in ASI's Alternative Spring Break must fill out an application. The application consists of required basic information, a community service resume, and a two-page essay of intent. The application can be found on the ASI website and must be completed by January 15, 200Z Applications can be emailed to dthomas@csusm.edu or dropped o ff at ASI at Commons 207. A $50 deposit must b e given to ASI by January 29,2007. A remaining balance of $200 must be given to ASI by March 9, 2007. "The remaining costs of the trip, food, travel, lodging, will all be covered by ASI," said Thomas.

They asked freshmen students in GE Oral Communication classes about the CSUSM Alumni Association; 50 freshmen completed the survey. Group members Michael Wu, Sandi Fouts, Misty Sharkey, Kristen Boggs and Amanda Perez worked together on the project from the Communications 310 class. Out of 42 students who answered the question of whether they would be interested in a student alumni association, 30 of them marked ' yes; When asked why they would be interested in the association, most replied that they would like to be a part of social activities or campus events. Out of 48 students, 36 of them didn't know what an Alumni Association was, but 31 of them marked 'yes' when asked if staying connected after they graduated was important to them. As an alum, most surveyed believed that reconnecting with former classmates and professors was important, more important than receiving special discounts and services. Interim Director of Alumni and Parent Relations, James Richardson, and the Alumni Association are working together to increase the ties between Alumni and students. "With respect to the students who said he/she did not know what an alumni association is, but who said staying connected to CSUSM after graduation is important, this is consistent with the history of CSUSM which is built on relationships at the degree program level. The challenge is to make the alumni association an additional interface between the campus and alumni after leaving the university. Before that, however, the alumni association will be taking steps to increase its presence on campus and is being encouraged to make visible 'investments' in the lives of the students. For example, last spring the association funded new banners for a number of student organizations. Each spring it participates in Grad Fest. It has for several years awarded scholarships as well." All group members were initially surprised by the results of the survey. Wu said, "I was quite surprised to see the number of responses from the-survey. I thought more students would reply since there were 600 GEO students. But Jim [Richardson] and the rest of my group took this experience as a stepping stone to f urther improve upon the survey and the number of f uture responses. I hope that Jim will be able to take this experience and implement it in the future with greater response." Having transferred to CSUSM from the University of Utah, Fouts said, "To form and maintain a stronger bond between alumni and CSUSM students, the administration needs to find a way to connect the students to this school, through athletic programs or campus clubs and student-faculty relationships i.e. mentoring, etc." Group member Perez said, "What I think the school can do to bridge the gap between alumni and CSUSM students is to offer information to students who are transferring as well as entering freshman, so that way we don't have to go out and find information, because we really don't know what this school has to offer to us. The university hour is a great way to set up a booth and advertise to students as well. If the school is excited on what they have to offer then the students will be too." All group members find that University Hour is an ideal time for clubs and organizations to use in order to make themselves known on campus by making connections with students. When speaking of the students who do not plan on graduating from CSUSM, Perez believes that the Alumni Foundation should ask what the students want. Perez added, "Getting the students involved with what the school has to offer will keep them here because they are connected and feel like they should belong and they want to belong so they stay here building our school from within. The school should get into the habit in asking what the students want, because after all, we come here so why not make it a place where we want to be, this is the idea of what we had in mind in doing this survey to get the students involved in making this an environment where they would like to be, even after they leave." Group member Sharkey transferred to CSUSM from a school in Oklahoma that had an impressive, yet older Alumni Association. Sharkey said, "I don't feel a connection. I don't know if I'll get that here." Richardson added, "The Office of Alumni and Parent Relations, in University Advancement, will be the coordinator for commencement beginning with the 2007 spring graduation. This will allow the Alumni Association to encourage graduating students to consider the benefits, networking particularly, of active participation as alumni. Additionally, there are steps underway to link alumni to recruitment and admissions efforts and to increase the number of alumni who return to campus as mentors, speakers, prospective employers, etc." From MENTORS, page 1 group, explained, "As a future teacher, I believe that obtaining an education is extremely important. However, due to economic instability or lack of support, many students are not able to acquire a proper education. Fortunately, through ASIST I have found a way to help individuals who are lacking such support and who deserve the opportunity to become educated." Research shows that first generation students are more likely to prolong the time between high school and college, or to attend college part time, putting them at a higher risk for not complete ing a degree, or lastly, not attending college at all. The National Center f or Education Statistics conducted research in correlation with the U.S. Department of Education. According to the report, "First-generation students were less likely than other students to attend college within 8 years after high school. Roughly four in 10 (43 percent) first-generation students who entered post-secondary education during this period left without a degree by 2000, while 24 percent had graduated with a bachelor's degree. The opposite pattern was observed for students whose parents were college graduates: a large majority (68 percent) had completed a bachelor's degree, while 20 percent left without a degree." High school students who are the first in their family to attend college are faced with all kinds of questions from how to apply, where to go, what major to choose Photo courtesy of ASIST A SIST advisor Bill De La Fuente stands with mentors on the Chavez stairs during their retreat last spring. and financial aid opportunities. Many times these high school students are already working f ull time, balancing sehool, work, home and a social life. According to the National Center for Education, "Choosing an undergraduate major appeared to pose a greater challenge for first-generation students than for others. One-in-three first-generation students (33 percent) had not identified a major after entering post secondary education, compared with 13 percent of students whose parents had a bachelor or advanced degree." With programs on campus such as ASIST, first-generation college Grand Theft Auto students will now have the ability to gain the support that they need to reach their goals, and to defy the statistics. As is the case with many student organizations, the students of CSUSM aspire to be active in community service. For this group of students, that means making the choice to continue the cycle of education by reaching out to fellow students and returning the valued support that they have received in their college experiences.

On the Before I go though, I'd like to give other hand, we have freelance website of the week BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Last month most CSUSM students began creating their schedules for next spring semester. Students mainly chose classes because they fulfill a requirement. Some students chose classes that fit neatly into a condensed schedule. Other students chose classes merely because they are interesting; and yet, other students chose classes because they like certain professors. Behind every CRN lies a professor. CSUSM has numerous great professors, as well as numerous awful professors. writers who are not in the class and have only written a single article during the entire semester. Both groups make valuable contributions to thé paper and both are appreciated and get something out of the experience. Experience writing for the paper is surprisingly effective in getting attention on your résumé from potential employers, and if you'd like, if you invest enough time in the paper you can get class or internship credit. Newspaper writing is also surprisingly easy. The Pride has excellent Editors and Copy Editors who can help with picking a topic, writing the article allows students to add a comment after each rating to create a more in depth review. Currently the website has over 6,200,000 reviews, more than 770,000 rated professors, and over 6,000 schools listed. The website was created in 1999. "Every semester, millions of students use the site to help plan their class schedules, and improve the quality of their educations," says the site's president and founder, John Swapceinski. The website also has a general discussion forum and a list of the t op 20 funniest comments about professors. The current funniest comment is: "You can't cheat in Syposium for Global Studies A Global Studies symposium took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, November 28th and 29th, to promote campus awareness of the importance of global a ffairs and to get students aware of the Global Studies Program. This was the second symposium that the Global Studies Program has sponsored in two years. Eight students participated in the symposium by giving their views on certain topics dealing with the Global Studies minor. Next semester Dr. Kim Quinney, Dr. Vicki Golich and Dr. Scott Greenwood will be teaching the new class that the symposium was also advertising. Professor Greenwood was kind enough to tell us more about this soon-to-be major and newly updated minor. "The Global Studies minor began Fall of 2005 and was revised in Fall 2006 to include new interdisciplinary core course for the minor and future major: GBST 300! The title of Global Studies 300 is 'Global Economics, Politics, and Society, and will be offered spring 2007." The team-teaching tactic for next semester is to help students learn about the process of globalization from a variety of perspectives. The new class will "analyze globalization as a historical process and explore how it is shaping human cultures, economics, and politics." For the students who are going to minor in Global Studies, this GBST 300 course is required and is also required for the Global studies majors. "The Global Studies major is projected to begin in Fall of steps on campus, you can do it. Some students say that they won't write for The Pride, because they "don't like it"; to them I say that is the best reason to write for the newspaper of all. The Pride newspaper is a student newspaper. If you don't like it, if you think it's bad, you can write an article and make it better. When I read that first issue of The Pride a year ago, I didn't like it either. Hopefully through my work as a writer and as an editor, I've helped to make it a better paper in some way. If not, you can do it for me—write something better than I ever could. That's my advice to you. Ratemyprofessor.com One way to distinguish the great professors from the not as great professors is to visit RateMyProfessors.com. The website allows students to anonymously rate their professors. The ratings are then compiled and are available to all registered users. Students can search be either school name or a professor's name. The website contains six ratings for each professor. The ratings are, number of ratings, average helpfulness, average easiness, average clarity, and overall quality. The website has a sixth rating for hotness as a f un category. The ratings are derived from a one to five scale. The website also BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer and will polish it for you before it gets published to make sure it looks great. Writing for The Pride is also fun. Personally, I don't have any particular love for writing just for writing's sake. But I enjoy writing for the newspaper because it's always an open ended assignment. No matter what the subject, what ever you're interested in can potentially be made into a newspaper article. Whether you want to do investigative journalism and expose corruption of local politicians, or write about a concert you enjoyed, or just write an opinion piece about the excessive number 2008," Dr. Greenwood explained. The first day of the symposium took place in UNIV 443 and four students participated in the Individual Paper Panel. Those students and their topics were: Robert Carrier,"ReligionasaCopingMechanismfor Female Workers in Mexico"; Martin Gala, "United States Foreign Policy and Nuclear Strategy: The Impact of 9/11"; Sandra Gotlaufa, "Why Do Citizens of West European Countries Vote For Extreme Right-Wing Parties?"; and Amanda Hanson with "The United States and Sweden: A comparative Study of Health Care Systems." The Best Paper Award was won by Ms. Sandra Gotlaufa who has a major in Political Science and a minor in Global Studies. The second day was made up of four students discussing the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah, the students of which are in currently enrolled in PSCI 364B Arab-Israel Conflict: 1948 to the present. These perspectives were given in ARTS 240 by Rawan Ayyash with the view from Israel, John Brohamer with the Iranian Perspective, Amanda Hanson with the Hezbollah angle, and Jonathan Hunter with the perspective of the Bush Administration. Approximately 60 students and faculty showed up to the Global Studies Symposium. Just like this year, next year's symposium will be to promote i nteresfin Global Studies, its classes, the major and minor, and to let students share their own research with the campus community. For those who would like to attend this event next time, the next symposium will take place in the 2007-2008 school year.

That is why many athletes will only do interviews if they are allowed to promote their sponsors. It's really impressive and heartwarming that a boxer the caliber of Manny Pacquiao was promoting educatioñ across his chest rather than the newest casino or the latest feature film. The sweatshirt was given to Pacquiao as a gift from a CSUSM student, and was seen on television across the world. I personally don't know Pacquiao but the fact that he would rather promote education than some cereal really shows me a lot about what kind of person he is. The accompanying pictures were taken from "TV Patrol" on the Filipino channel. The woman sitting next to him is Diane Castillejo and the interview took place on November 20. During the interview, he was asked questions about his victory over Erik Morales at the Thomas and Mack Center at UNLV. The fight was a battle of two heroes from their respective nations, which resulted in several Filipino and Mexican politicians to attend the match.

Michael Richards and the media's 'comedic' hypocrisy BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Columnist "If you don't like what I have to say, then don't listen to me." That is what comedian Michael Richards, better known as "Kramer." should have said to the African-American hecklers in the now infamous incident. That is what I say to people who berate me about something I've written. Right off the bat, I can guarantee most of you aren't going to like what I am about to say, so go ahead and start your e-mail, but I will simply point to my lead sentence for my sentiments on your criticism. For those of you who may not be aware of this story, Richards shouted racial slurs towards two black men who were heckling him and talking aloud towards one another during a show. When I first heard this story, I knew one thing for sure; every media outlet in the world would be uneducated about the world of stand-up comedy. Luckily for you, I have been around comedians my whole life, since my Uncle is a comedian, which has allowed me a pass into the comedy world. Richards was performing at the Laugh Factory on the Sunset strip in Hollywood. One thing about that club is that it's notorious for hecklers, so when I heard it was at the Factory I wasn't shocked one bit. Most clubs don't tolerate hecklers the way the Factory does. The two men who were heckling were sitting in balcony stage left. In that club you are basically guaranteed to have a heckler in the balcony, because people think they are far enough away from the show to have a personal conversation, even though they are only 15-feet from the stage. Let me remind you, I am not defending Richards at all. As you may know by now, I am very outspoken when it comes to social injustices. On that note, the tape of Richards doesn't even rank on the top 25 list of the most racially insensitive comments I have heard while around comedians, whether on stage or in the green room. The only thing that happened here is that the media chose to r un this story. Someone brought up the point to me that Richards was unlucky to be taped on stage. Well, something you may not realize about clubs like the Factory is that every comedian who steps on that stage is being taped, whether it's by the house or by someone in the audience. Once again, the media chose to r un this story. Go to any club at any time and you will see a similar incident. Another thing that the media did, which is just ludicrous, is that they made this news on Mcyiday, November 20 when it really happened on Friday, November 17. Our society picks and chooses who we want to lambaste and when we want to do i t In the same week that "Kramer" was being cooked for racial slurs, Sacha Baron Cohen had the number one "movie" in the U.S. with "Borat", which is one of the most racially insensitive "films" I have ever seen. If you are going to throw a stone at one person for something stupid, then you need a boulder for the rest of this world. Take Chris Rock for example. I think the guy is a comedic genius, but how is he any different than Richards when he goes to some town in Tennessee and calls audience members a derogatory white name? It is not alright for any comedian of any race to go on stage and call another person of an opposite race a derogatory name. It's also not right for two people of the same race to call one another racially negative names. Now, I must relate this to sports, since this is supposed to be a sports column. Someone brought up the point,. "Well how is this any different from when an athlete gets heckled? They don't react with a racial slur." First off, go stand on a sideline of any major sporting event and you will hear something similar to what Richards said. Secondly, a comedian is the one with a mic, which means that he is the guy who has the right to talk. If you are an audience member at a club, the other people in the audience aren't there to hear you talk. If you are at a game, you are given the right to boo and talk when you buy that ticket. You aren't deemed that right at a club, so let's not forget that the two audience members are also at fault for the incident. For years now, racism has been allowed to hide behind comedy. It will continue to stay that way, because in one week the media will stop telling you to think about "Kramer." It happens all the time. Bill Parcells, the Dallas Cowboys coach, used a derogatory term towards people of Japanese descent, and a week later it was forgotten. Peyton Manning sexually harassed a woman in college. How many of you sports fans remember that story? That's because the media chose not to cover that story in depth. I really don't have one general point. I have a bunch of scattered frustrations with the hypocrisy of the way this world operates. I am frustrated with the racism that is prevalent in this world. I am f rustrated with audiences who lack mutual respect for the person with a mic or pen. I am frustrated with the media telling the public what, when, and who is relevant to throw daggers at.

A fter a long semester of cold nights of studying, and long days of classes, we all deserve the best reward for our hard work, and that reward is Miller High Life. The label itself is awe inspiring: the proud Miller logo with its swooping underline on the top of the label, and proudly and boldly below, golden letters proclaim "HIGH LIFE"—as if the beer is announcing your arrival to a new luxurious life of delicious beer flavor. Under the name is scrawled in an elegant cursive font, "The Champagne of Beers," signifying that it is signed and guaranteed to be the best. Miller High Life is not available at just any establishment. In fact, Miller High Life is not served at many establishments on account of it not being available on draft. But it is readily available at liquor and grocery stores, generally towards the back of the store, bottom shelf of the cooler, down and to the left between the Mickey's and Steel Reserve. It is a bit expensive, with a 40 oz. generally costing between $1.60 to $2.25, compared to other 40 oz. beers and malt liquors such as Country Club and Bud Ice which run between $1.10 and $2.00. But it is well worth the extra fifty cents to live the high life. High Life comes in a variety of sizes, 16 and 24 oz. cans, 12, 22, 32 and 40 oz. bottles. Many enjoy pilsner beers in special pilsner glasses; however, f requent drinkers of Miller High Life all know that "The Champagne of Beers" is best enjoyed from the bottle, preferably of the 32 or 40 oz. variety. To prevent your hands from warming the beer, which generally alters the flavor and aroma of the beer, it is typical to use the bag that is given to you by the liquor store as a single use beer cozy. While High Life is slightly low on alcohol content for a pilsner at 4.7% ABV, it makes up for it in taste. In 2002 at the World Beer Cup, Miller High Life won the gold medal in "Americanstyle Lagers" against 17 other contestants. It has a rich golden color and a frothy head with good retention. It has a distinct lack of smell and goes down smooth, provided it stays cold. If allowed to warm, the 'Champagne of Beers" spouts a bouquet of corn adjunct and yeast smells, becomes increasingly difficult to drink, and sometimes causes inexplicable headaches in some drinkers. It has a uniform and simple mouth-feel and tastes sweet, with slightly spicy hops and strong corn adjuncts. Originally brewed in 1903, Miller High Life has an over 100 year tradition of providing only the finest to distinguished drinkers. In just a few weeks we will get a chance to toast the New Year and say goodbye to the last. Do it in style, and become part of the distinguished tradition, with a 40 of the "champagne of beers." Drink of the week: Searching for the perfect peppermint potable {Peppermint Montini BY BRANDIBLAHNIK Pride Staff Writer A hh... the crisp winter air, aisle after aisle of tree ornaments, and the decadent glow of over-decorated houses. 'Tis the holiday season and a time for joy. One of my greatest joys is found in the sweet and refreshing peppermint flavor that flowers in the frosty, wintry season. But how exactly does one incorporate this tasty temptation into a quick and easy party drink? Soothe your Christmas spirit with the Perfect Peppermint Martini. Rest assured this was n o easy task, finding the perfect holiday martini. Peppermint schnapps was an easy enough choice, but what to use for a foundation? The spicy, party-friendly white rum? The flavorful and potent Tanqueray? Perhaps a more mild gin, like the delicate and sophisticated Bombay Sapphire, or the always faithful and flavorless-in-a-wonderful-way vodka? Well it was no easy task (no, seriously, four martinis is no easy task), but we tested and tried each to find r our favorite. White rum seemed a valid enough choice. It's rather beach-appropriate and, given the San Diego climate, might have made a nice "Christmas in SoCal" cocktail. Be glad we tested this one for you, and save your rum for summer fun. It was by far the only combination which left us asking, "What peppermint?" Next we tried the gins. Being a martini lover myself, I have a fondness and bias towards Tanqueray. But our cocktail was overpowered by the flavor and tang of this gin which battered the peppermint into a bitter aftertaste. Our next choice was Bombay Sapphire, a gin so delicious and delicate it could confidently sit in a glass by itself. This combination won my favor and a listing in the recipe below. The peppermint schnapps was neither overpowered nor overpowering; instead, the herbal infusion which makes this gin so special complimented the icy mint flavor of the schnapps and the whole drink went down smoothly. The vodka, an obvious choice, won favor with my husband but was not the favorite. Here i Obtaining your PhD? our icy cocktail was—I hesitate to say it—too peppermint-y, offering nothing to compliment the schnapps. Now I realize that you might be asking why we didn't get our hands on some crème de menthe. Simple: this is not a liqueur I stock in my cupboard at home because every drink it's paired with has a minimum of three ingredients. If you've ever played hostess, and 'tis the season, you know what a pain these elaborate concoctions can be on your time, wallet, and kitchen. With that in mind, I aimed to create a simple, affordable cocktail that was easy to replicate and, frankly, didn't use anything as sissy as crème de menthe. To make your own Perfect Peppermint Martini, pour 1.5 ounce peppermint schnapps over ice in a martini shaker. Next, pour 1.5 ounce Bombay Sapphire gin into shaker. Shake, pour into a martini glass, and serve. But 1ng your m artinis at your next holiday soiree? Garnish your cocktail with peppermint mints or candy canes. It's not just festive, but f un too.

Records It's too bad the volume knob in my car doesn't go any higher. "Louder Now" could not be any more appropriately titled. This release from TBS is the perfect companion for a brutal workout session or some much needed alone time that requires anger management therapy. I suppose "MakeDamnSure" is my favorite track off "Louder Now," as it is the reason why I picked up the album in the first place, but every track on the 11-track disc is absolutely killer. TBS doesn't miss a beat on this release, from the final snap of the snare down to the precise guitar lines and passionate screaming, every second of "Louder Now" is ridiculously perfect and thoroughly energizing. 2 . Regina Spektor ladies, Hut this time Justin is no boy; he's a man, and man does he bring the heat in his provocative, seductive, sexy, • and downright scandalous songs. "Future Sex / Love Sounds" will get your heart beating fast within the first few seconds of the album's title track opener. Followed by "SexyBack" and "Sexy Ladies," have no fear; there is plenty of 'sex' to go around on this love-filled record. 4 . Snow Patrol Eyes Open A & M Records It's rare when a band is able to grab a hold of your heart—onto the fragile strings of your emotional core—and run away with it. Show Patrol does no less, and yet, much more than that. From Ireland of all places, Snow Patrol isn't new to the scene. With their invigorating attitude, once again they open their mouths and aptitude for musical catharsis and dare listeners to become vulnerable. "Eyes Open," the latest fulllength to travel across the seas from the Celtic homeland, is as intimate as it is rock. Empowered with the ability to leave listeners speechless and simultaneously bursting at the seams with incredible emotional realizations, "Eyes Open" demands not only your ears, but also your soul, and every ounce of your physical being. Begin to Hope Sire Records Regina you smitten devil, you! For those of you whom are unfamiliar with Regina Spektor, she is purely magical.

Rascal Flatts Me and My Gang Lyric Street Records There is nothing sadder than the lovesick themes and depressing life experiences that gush from through the plastic wrapper of Rascal Flatts' 2006 release, "Me and My Gang." So sad in fact that I can't help but love every second of it. Call it cruel, call it painful, call it whatever you like, but the fact of the matter is that Rascal Flatts' style appeals to a younger demographic of country fans, and I am one of them. By way of the numerous singles off "Me and My Gang," like "What Hurts the Most," "My Wish," and the title track, their latest album has the potential to be their greatest thus far. In addition to "Me and My Gang," Rascal Flatts also had a number one single, "Life is a Highway," from the animated film "Cars" this past year. When it comes down to it, "Me and My Gang" is all about friendship: the friendship of band mates, the friendship between the band and fans, and the friendship with the rating charts. 7 . The Wreckers Stand Still, Look Pretty Maverick Records Pretty they are indeed. Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp are no ordinary musicians; they are beautiful and incredibly talented country rockers. With the dreamy looks and catchy hooks, there is no denying that The Wreckers would have any problems wrecking the country gals and hardcore femmes that stood in their way this past year on the Billboard charts. As the songs on "Stand Still, Look Pretty" range from cool and collected to brash and twangy, this duo successfully breeds quality songs that celebrate our nation's country roots with a rock 'n roll flare in one polished, f un, and down-to-earth album. 8 . People in Planes As Far A s the Eye Can See Wind-up Records The members of People in Planes may be weird, but they know how to rock like no others. Hailing from the British mother ship, these sizzling rockers can only be taken seriously when one has the opportunity to witness their mind-blowing, indescribable live show. Splashes of paranoia line their lyrics and graphic imagery, mimicking airplanes and travel, setting the stage f or^ pseudo-hallucinogenic rock experience that doesn'tcompare to any ^•¡•••Ri^ other e arthly experience. Attracting comparisons to Muse, Supergrass, Jefferson Airplane, Pink Floyd, A1 Kooper and Radiohead, the boys of People in Planes mean business. Strutting their guitar-laden, leather-pantswearing, beer-drinking, grungy-bass-linedancing, abusive-electric-rhythm-looping, and seductive-vocal-attack of the technojazz-swaying-legendary-rock-overdosekind, People in Planes' "As Far as the Eye Can See" is definitely an album you're not going to want to miss out on. y . John Legend Once Again Sony Records John Legend might just be the perfect man. He knows all the right things to say, and just when to say them. His colorful and vibrant style paired with simple rhythms and his seductive voice are all the right ingredients for a successful album. Songs like "Stereo," "Save Room," "Each Day Gets Better," and "Maxine" are emotionally coercive and pleasantly haunting. John Legend has done it again, and I can't stop listening to "Once Again" as the perfect man has once again created the perfect album. 1 0 • Margot and the Nuclear So & So'st The Dust of Retreat Artemis Records With striking prose and sounds that drive to the core of emotion, this Indianapolis band does everything right on "The Dust of Retreat" with their savvy chords and "I know we're good, that's why we do what we do," attitude. With a roster as long as their name, the eight members of Margot and the Nuclear So and So's put forth a deliciously garnered album, lush with imagery .of the wild, childhood nostalgia, vampires, the sea, cats, mice, betrayal, drugs, and passion; much of the imagery serves as metaphors for their lives and encounters no doubt and is potent to say the least. A collection of 12 sturdy tracks, each with its own forlorn tone and a catalog of instruments into the dozens—a few of which include "meows," steel lap, banjoes, synths, guitars and percussion— the Margot's most certainly have enough ammo to make it to the next battle. Photo Illustration by Mary Foley/ The Pride �The Pride sits down withAtreyu's guitarist Atreyu l ive at IICI BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer Image courtesy of Victory Records November 18 was a night many Atreyu fans will never forget. Atreyu headlined their mini tour with a few other rock bands. UC Irvine was lucky enough to host them on this Saturday night. And I was lucky enough to be able to interview Atreyu's guitarist, Travis Miguel, before the show. The night started off inside the tour bus with Travis, other band members, and family. Irvine is Atreyu's hometown, so it was a big show for family and friends. When I asked Travis what got him started in the band, he chuckled a bit at the-question and told me, "I actually worked with our singer at Hot Topic. He came up to me one day and he was like, 'Yeah, my band needs a guitar player. Do you want to come by and maybe jam a few songs?' As everybody was leaving, we were like, 'Alright, I'll see you next Sunday,' and I said 'Okay, cool.' Next thing you know I'm signing a record contract. And then it all went from there." When I asked Travis if he ever thought he'd be where he was now, he answered, "No, not in a million years. I mean we've all been fans of music and we've all been in bands. It was all just for f un to begin with. Then Victory came knocking on our door, and for us that was a huge d eal When we first recorded a demo and sent it out, we didn't even bother sending it to Victory because that was so far off the radar. We grew up listening to all the Victory bands like Snap Case, Blood Line, and stuff like that. I remember getting a call from Alex saying 'Dude, Victory Records is really interested in us.' And I was like 'are you kidding m e?'" Travis was a lot like most college students here at GSU San Marcos. He was 21 and getting ready to finish school. He was attending California State University Fullerton and had one semester left. That's when his band member informed him of Victory's interest. Travis didn't just drop school and go live the rock star life, however. He admitted that he was "really torn" and "didn't know what to do." Travis told me how he made his decision t o leave school: "Should I attempt to live this far fetched dream or should I do the more responsible thing and finish school? I actually asked my parents what to do. They were like, 'You know this opportunity is not going to present itself probably ever again. So you may as well just go with it. School is always going to be there.'" I asked him if he'd ever want to go back to school. "My mom really wants me to," he answered. "But then again i t has been so long the requirements for graduating have probably changed. But so far I haven't had to worry about that. I'm sure one day I will. We take everything in stride and we know this isn't going to last forever." All the fans always want to know what got their band or favorite band member started in music. So, I asked Travis what got him interested in music. "Honestly I was 11 or 12 and I saw the video 'One* by Metallica, and that was the first time I'd ever seen double bass of music that aggressive. That's what sparked my interest in music. My sisters' boyfriend at the time knew a lot about music and he passed that knowledge onto me. He taught me the bass line to 'Wild Thing.' I couldn't even hold the thing up, the bass itself. I was so small and it was so big. It kept creeping down my lap. Then I picked up the guitar and started taking lessons. Now here I am playing to a couple thousand kids each night. It's pretty damn cool." To sum up the interview before the show started I asked Travis if there was anything he wanted to say to the students of CSUSM. "I don't want to say live each day like it's your last; everybody says that. [But] it's true. Take advantage of the opportunities you have. Don't be afraid to take risks, but weigh your options. Don't just go into anything blindly. Have f un because we only live on this planet once." Not only was the interview very interesting but so was the show. Before Atreyu even started playing the crowd was screaming for music. Lights of all colors flashed randomly onto the crowd. The dimly lit UCI Bren Center soon rumbled with music. Atreyu played songs in what seemed t o'be no particular order but covered all the different albums they have. The main singer got the crowd to sing along, and the drummer, who also sings, got the crowd to sing parts he wouldn't. Atreyu kept the crowd going and kept moving around the stage. There was so such thing as a dull moment at this concert. But sadly, like all things, the concert had to come to an end. And it did with a song I'd never thought I'd hear a band like Atreyu play: "You give love a bad name." The singer started to sing the classic Bon Jovi song and hit each note perfectly. The crowd went wild, Photos by Amanda Rutherford / The Pride though it was hard to believe they cctold get any crazier. There was never a second where some person wasn't running back to the mosh p S because they got passed over the line and needed to go around the seats to get back to the center of the building. The way to the parking lot was f ull of excitement even after the concert, and for the people who attended it was a concert they would never forget. Book review: "Fairest" BY SARAH PULTZ Pride Staff Writer Gail Carson Levine is the author of the Newberry Honor book "Ella Enchanted," which was made into a movie starring Anne Hathaway in 2004. Levine's latest book for children, "Fairest," is a loose; sequel t o "Ella Enchanted," but it also stands- on its own just fine. "Fairest" is an adaptation of the story "Snow White," toM in L eyjn^s own special style; Although it is well written and engaging, put of all of Levine'^fairy tale adaptations, it's not my absolute favorite. It lacks some o fthe dramatic tension that makes Levinels othesr books the page-turners they are, and the character development isn't always very convincing. In spite of its small shortcomings, "Fairest" stands out as more than just a good book because Levine is doing more than just telling a story. What seems o n. the surface to be a frivolous piece of teeny bopper fiction actually packs some very interesting and positive messages. "Fairest" is set in the same world as "Ella Enchanted," but takes place in the neighboring kingdom of Ayortha, where singing and music are the most important parts of the culture. Levine's version of Snow White is a girl named Aza. Aza is not a princess and certainly not beautiful. Like Snow White, she has skin white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair black as night, but freakishly so. She is very tall and very wide, but she can also sing more beautifully than anyone else in the kingdom. When Aza is invited to the king's wedding, she meets and befriends Levine's version of the wicked queen, an impossibly beautiful young girl named Ivi. Soon the vain new queen discovers that Aza has a special talent and decides to use it for her own benefit. At first, Aza believes she is doing no harm by helping the queen, but when the king is injured and the queen takes over the throne, Aza finds herself trapped in a dangerous deception that could destroy the whole kingdom. From there the story follows your standard Snow White plot. There's a handsome prince, a magic mirror, and a poisoned apple. If you've seen the Disney movie or read the Brothers Grimm, you'll know how it all goes down. But as I said before, it's the message, not the plot, which makes this book special. One intriguing theme is respect for other cultures. As a wicked queen, Ivi's greatest transgression is not cruelty or murder. It is disrespecting the culture of her subjects. When she first becomes queen she refuses to participate in the singing rituals of her adopted country. When finally she does, it is with disdain. She constantly makes it clear that she thinks her new country is inferior, and Levine makes her attempts to abolish Ayorthan culture, the ultimate cause of her downfall. Levine's strongest message is about the unimportance of physical appearance. I love fairy tales, but I hate the traditional fairy tale heroine - beautiful, passive, silent, and helpless. That's why I love Levine. Aza is a true heroine, but she is also a real young girl. She's horribly aware of what the standards of beauty are in her society. She believes that she is ugly and offensive to everyone around her, but she is really very kind, loyal, brave, and talented—traits that earn her love and respect. When she realizes that the queen's beautiful face hides a self-centered heart, she learns to see herself as her loved-ones do, and her happily-ever-after ending is not becoming beautiful, but gaining selfconfidence and self-respect. Most fairy tales are written t o reinforce the social order of their time, but Levine has taken the genre and turned its purpose around. Her ideas about good and evil are not always what you would expect and she uses love and patriotism in some uncon- Image courtesy of www.harpercollinschildrens.com ventional ways. In short, there's enough there to keep an adult reader j ust as interested as a teenage girl. It would make a good addition t0 a classroom library. Or if you have a thirteen-year-old girl on your g ift list, or are j ust hiding one somewhere in your heart, "Fairest" is a great Christmas present that you can give with a good conscience. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Two of the guests were HIV/AIDS positive, while the third was a caregiver at two licensed facilities in North County. Many people die or are severely injured as a result of drug and alcohol related accidents each year. In an effort to promote Understanding, Student Health Services sponsored a Drug and Alcohol Awareness Seminar Thursday, December 2 in ACD 102 from 3:00pm - 5:00pm. Although adults between the ages of 25-45 represent the largest population of reported cases of AIDS in the U.S., young adults between 14 and 25 are at the greatest risk of contracting the disease, especially women. The Peer Education and Support Program, along with Health, Counseling and Disability Services, raised AIDS awareness on campus with the presentation. The event opened with a welcome from Reina Abeyta, a LVN from the Student Health Center, and co-coordinator of the day's event. ASI president Waleed Delawari then read an emotionstirring poem about a young girl who had refrained from drinking at a party, only to be killed by a drunk driver. The audience listened attentively to the four speakers who followed. After further tests, the results came back HIV positive. She is not absolutely sure whether or not she contracted the virus through the dirty needle. The second guest speaker was a middle-aged male Hispanic who was HTV positive.

Now the Christmas season begins. Yes, I said the word "CHRISTMAS." Not "holiday." Slowly over time we, as a society, have removed Christmas from our collective lexicon. The Christmas play or pageant has long since been banned. In some schools, candy canes have been banned as being religious in nature. People have "Holiday" parties with "Holiday" trees and "Holiday" candy. This time of year every sign says "Holiday Savings" or "Holiday Values." The "Season" has become one long shopping binge of the worst kind. The use of the word Holiday instead of Christmas for store use is justified by the claim that not all the population is Christian or about everything in general. In Muslim (Both Pakistan and Iran short they hate fun and life itself. have Christmas as a holiday).

The holidays are right around the corner and money is tight. Several years ago I read an article in a newspaper with ideas of things to get those people in your lives that are close to you. The answer was simple: love. Write a love letter. I did just that. I went out and bought some Christmas station- e ffirtbe ary and sat down and wrote 25 things I love and appreciate about my husband. I did the same thing for my three children. After all the presents were unwrapped that year, I pointed out to everyone they had one more gift to open. As my husband read it, I could tell I had found the perfect gift for him as his eyes welled up with tears while reading his letter.. For my children, it wasn't so evident, until one day as I was changing the sheets on my daughter's bed. Dear Editors: Colorful chalk drawings advertising AIDS Awareness Week greeted me today as I made that dreadful climb up the stairs of Mount CSUSM to campus. I was delighted to see that awareness was being made about this incurable* deadly disease and hoped that it would lead to improved prevention for students. But as I started to approach the peak of the Mountain I began to see oddly shaped ^balloons" tied to the rails, gleefully swaying in the morning breeze. Upon closing examination, condoms. Huh? The holidays are right around the corner. This year, do something a little different. Think of those around you who may be going through a difficult time right now Someone who may have lost a loved one, someone struggling with a medical condition, someone who is in the process of looking for or starting a new job. Someone who is struggling with an addiction or has gone back to school after many years. Someone who is going through a divorce or break up of a relationship, someone who is feeling lonely or depressed, someone who is having financial difficulty. Try practicing Random Acts of Kindness. Give someone words of encouragement either verbally or send a card. They will get the warm fuzzies just knowing someone is thinking of them! Pick up a bouquet of flowers from the grocery store to perk up someone's day. Unexpectedly buy a friend lunch. Help out your parents by washing their car, or better yet, fill up their gas tank without being asked. Give a hug just because. Call or visit someone you haven't been in touch with for awhile. Give mothers with small children a break. Open doors for them. Offer to baby-sit free of charge! Bring cookies to share to work. Tell a professor or teacher how much you appreciate them, (you could also tell your parents, spouse, and/or friend the same thing!) Look around at all you have been blessed with and spread the wealth. You will find that when you practice little Random Acts of Kindness, it makes you feel better but it also touches the hearts of those around you. OUT!" graces the cover. Something just seemed really wrong with all this, so I vainly tried to refresh my memory of 7th grade sex education. This produced little more than a disturbing image of the live pregnancy video I was shown, so I gave up to see if the Internet provided any answers. After a bit of searching a website (http://www.hivdent.org) gave me the infomation I was looking for. As it turns out condoms are 90% effective in preventing the transmission of HIV when used properly. For you John Q. Math Majors out there that would leave a 10% chance that you would contract the virus. 10%? That's about the same odds as winning one of those "under the cap" beverage games. Which I have won!

It's not cheesy merchandise; it's an incurable, deadly disease! Instead of handing out guns for students to play sexual Russian roulette with, something more practical must be done. How about both partners being tested prior to relations? Or what about. 1 *ga$p*.. abstinence? While I don't fully endorse the latter, the former is quite plausible, and I know from experience. Our society seems to be forming in a way where we try to dodge the bullet instead of just not pulling the trigger. I hate to see condoms endorsed as an HIV prevention method and I hope the students of CSUSM will think ahead and realize that the trigger need not be pulled. I made my way to the Dome to grab a bite to eat and a copy of the school paper. On my way I noticed colored chalk animated with arrows pointing to the direction of "free condoms." Apparently if I were to follow these arrows I would get a "kit" Respectfully, that includes condoms, prevenAn Upset, Sexually Active Joe tion information, and candy.

There, I found underneath her mattress were my Christmas love letters stacked neatly with other things she treasured in her life. The things you write about don't have to be earth shattering accomplishments, but things like, "I love the way you smile. I love the way you take the dog out for a walk without anyone asking you. I am happy you are a part of my life." Now, almost ten years have passed since I started my tradition and it is the first gift opened on Christmas Day. I still tell them how much they are loved and appreciated. Now, I also add in highlights of things they accomplished and even obstacles they had to overcome over the past year and point out how proud I am of them. Since I have started this, I have spread the word to my friends and other relatives. It is the gift that my best friend and sister request every year. Last Christmas, I added something extra with my letters. I purchased special boxes for my family to put their love letters in. In the last couple years, I have noticed I am now on the receiving end from my eldest son and best friend. It is a wonderful tradition to begin. It is unique, personal and guaranteed to be cherished. All it takes is a little time and love.

When the paper published these reviews, the editors and advisor were unaware of the plagiarism. Indeed, a student paper, like the campus and thewider academic world, can only operate on the. assumption that writers are honest and that their work is their own. The free exchange of ideas depends on this assumption.

The Faculty Mentoring Program hosted its annual Holiday Dialogue Gathering Thursday evening, December 2nd, in the Dome. Mentors and proteges assembled to celebrate the season with a catered dinner from El Polio Loco. Festive activities planned by the FMP staff included a gift exchange and awards. ; _ Under the direction of Dr. Vickie Golich, Edward Polhert, and Dr. Elisa Grant-Velone along with excellent support staff Rose Russell and Olga Gonzalez, the Faculty Mentoring Program continues to expand the opportunities for first generation college students and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. Sixty-nine faculty members and ninety-one students are currently involved in the program. Polhert gave credit to Gonzalez, who joined FMP at for the successful turnout of the sixth annual event. FMP offers academic preparation, workshops, and activities that allow students to learn strategies to increase their educational opportunities and complete the goal of graduation. The encouragement from the mentors becomes an integral part-of the students' academic experience and a valuable resource.

Opening December 24: Reindeer Games - Ben Affleck The Talented Mr. Ripley - Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow �Poetry Night at the Power Surge Imani Rupert ^ PRIDE STAFF WRITER Students gathered for a night of poetry on Tuesday, December 1, at the Power Surge cafe. The night got off to a late start, and was characterized at first by a definite lack of people in attendance. But despite the late start, the evening was definitely a night to remember. In a matter of a half-hour, the room filled with friends. At first people took turns reading poems from a book. Then after a little persuading, Rodrick Frazier sung a poem. He sang "Lift Every Voice and Sing" by James Weldon Johnson and later sang another song. His beautiful voice picked up the mood of the night. Then everything seemed to flow. Angela Oesterle wrote an amazing poem right there in the coffee house, and read it for the crowd. Elsa Mejia read Maya Angelou's famous poem, And Still I Rise. Mbalaka Monolobo recited a poem in Swahilli and translated the title: My Twin. Nico Cusimano, a student at Palomar, writes poetry and just happened to have some of his work with him that night. Hie audience quickly responded to the readings he presented. Most of the applause went to Malika U. Bomani and Rodrick Frazier. They did an impromptu "skit'' to Destiny Child's song, "Bug a boo." Another Poetry Night is in the works. Contact Mbalaka Monololo in the ASI office for information. A Campus Without GUTS Mike Spangler PRIDE STAFF WRITER The CSUSM Literary Society does not have GUTS this semester. The Literary Society does not even have official recognition as a campus club by the Inter-Club Council or Associated Students, Inc., said Barbara Schiffler, one of the few remaining members of what was once the CSUSM Literary Society. GUTS is the Literary Society's Literary Magazine first published October 1996. The society was founded by Denise Lampman, with the goal of publishing GUTS. Lampman graduated last May and the campus has been GUTS^less since. "We started in May of '99 with about 15 people—then when we were just about ready to print, the people who were helping me faded away/' said Schiffler. "The only people left were me and two other people—and all of us are grad students." It is the lack of available bodies, Schiffler said, that caused the Literary Society to lose their charter. When asked why the Literary Society was no longer an officially recognized club, Assistant Director of Student and Residential Life Gezai Berhane said, "The Literary Society has not completed the rechartering session for this year." Berhane. said that the Society failed to satisfy Responsibility 10 outlined in the CSUSM Student and Residential Life Procedures for ReChartering Clubs and Organizations, which states "Your club is required to attend an Annual Student and Residential Life and Associated Students, Inc. training of officers/advisors." This semester' s mandatory October 29 meeting's "topics included security, facilities use, liability issues and financial management," The Pride reported in its November 8 issue. The same article also stated "Calvin One Deer, Director of Student and Residential Life, lamented the precipitous decline in the number of campus clubs in recent years and expressed hope that the falling-off of interest in campus organizations would reverse itself." Schiffler pleaded with students of Professor Brandon Cesmat's Creative Writing class tp get involved and re-charter the Literary Society in the Spring of 2000 so that the more than fogy submissions can be published with official university recognition. Also, without active undergraduates, the Literary Society is in danger of fading into CSUSM history, officially recognized or not. Schiffler stressed GUTS isintended as a publication "made completely by students" with no advertising, but stopped short of calling it an underground publication. One Deer said recently that he would like to see the Literary Society re-chartered, and more clubs formed, "There are a lot more ideas out there that can involve students in extra-curricular activities." All of the guidelines and regulations for rechartering a club for the current academic year, or starting a new club on campus, are available in convenient five- and eight-page packets (respectively) from the office of Student and Residential Life in Craven Hall 4116. One Deer urged clubs wishing to be recognized, which also makes them eligible for ICC funding, to pick up a packet and start planning for the spring semester now. He said there will be another ICC meeting in February 2000, like the one the Literary Society missed, to educate club representatives as part of the chartering process. "We want to promote leadership among students while creating campus life," said One Deer. Time of Your Life on the Tube Imani Rupert PRIDE STAFF WRITJER Has anyone managed to watch Party of Five- s spin-off, Time of Your Lifel When Sarah Reeves (Jennifer Love Hewitt) left San Francisco in search of her dad, the crew of Party of Five thought she would be returning in a week. However, Sarah decided to stay in New York to discover who she is, without anyone taking care of her. Once on her own, the eternally innocent Sarah does some very unlike-Sarah things. So begins the Time of Your Life. There are six central characters on the show. Sarah's roommate, Romy (Jennifer Garner- Felicity's competition for Noel first season) is an aspiring actress with the hots for J.B. (Diego Serrano), their neighbor who works as a salon shampooist Cecilia (Pauley Perette) is a student at NYU, and current superintendent at their building, not to mention a wild girl. Maguire is an ex-musician with a jaded view of how the music business works. He's pretty fond of Sarah, and she seems to be pretty fond of him too. Joss (Gina Ravera) is a close friend of Maguire, and works with Sarah as a waitress. Finally there is Sarah, who is trying to figure out who she is, and wants to have a little fun in the process. There is an obvious attraction between Sarah and the amazingly hot Maguire, and now since Baliey has broken up with her, Sarah seems eager to jump into the arms of this sweet-hearted musician. It took Dawson and Joey an entire season, Mulder and Scully have yet to do it, and it's anyone's guess when those two from Roswell will get together. Romy and J.B. have a semi-romance going on. Romy has been staring into J.B.'s window since she's been there, watching a stream of girls trickle in and out of his apartment. They are dating now, but apparently J.B. has a few girls in his past, one in particular that he is still sleeping with. Joss is a sweet girl that won't let anyone tell her what to do. Her stubbornness is bound to get her in trouble. She is more than willing to help Sarah out though, whether she needs a job, or time off from that job. Time of Your Life is a good show. It moves faster than other dramas, and Sarah makes mistakes that you can only make when you're twenty, and with her motley crew of friends, you're sure to like one of the characters. It's an above-average television drama, especially if you liked Sarah from Party of Five. Time of Your Life plays on Fox, Mondays at 8:00pm.

CSUSM Fire Marshal Steve Orsak said the most common scenarios used in emergency preparedness drills in Southern California involve earthquakes and wildfires. Not counting the time for the 911 call and the transfer, "we will be at the door of the college in one to three minutes" said Division Fire Chief John Twyman, Fire Marshal (ONE L) for the City of San Marcos for 11 years. There are three fire stations in San Marcos that can approach the campus from three different directions. The City of San Marcos is ready to respond with three engine companies, one truck company, and one duty chief —a total of 13 full-time trained professionals— on an initial fire call to the university. recently increased their responding force by three for a total of eight sworn-in personnel. All are certified under the Standard Emergency Management System (SEMS) as part of their required training mandated by the state of California, said Lt. Will Glen of CSUSM Public Safety. San Marcos' Twyman confirmed that every engine and chief's car has a "Fire Pre-PIan." This book details the location of hazardous materials, building floorplans, and room occupancies f or the entire campus. Because of all of the construction and clearing of vegetation, "the campus is under a very low threat from wildfires" said Orsak. Twyman agreed, adding that the Harmony Grove fire and last year's La Moree fire demonstrated the benefits of the fire breaks that surround the campus. Both fires caused the cancellation of classes, but Twyman assured "the campus was never at risk." Orsak added that the The University Police have University and the San Marcos Copies each ^ d e v ^ it^Wation and the tabulated insults are tile o f ; § | | f l f J ^ c h evaiuation, wheiheroF tfie rusKeS or painsta&ngly detailed variety, is then one unit of information seen and considered by the CSUSM President, Vice Presidents, Deans, and a peer review committee.

Brushing aside the possibility of wildfire, Twyman said, "it's probably scarier to me that people might not know what they're doing when they're mixing together chemicals in a lab. We could almost eliminate the fire department if we eliminate the three biggest causes of fires: Men, women, and children." When asked if there were plans to build a fire station on campus, which has its own zip code, some tifrie in the University's future, Orsak replied "from your lips to the [University] president's ears."

Complying with Wildfire Codes ; : C SUSM Chosen in the Templeton Guide ing to Orsak, and CSUSM has the advantage of being surrounded by "firebreaks" as well as being a relatively new campus with advanced technology. The campus of CSUSM is equipped with a twenty-four hour central alarm fire system that is monitored by the police. If the alarm is triggered, the police are dispatched to investigate, and the fire department is alerted if necessary. The San Marcos Fire Department participates in quarterly "familiarity" fire drills at the campus, allowing the fire department to become accustomed to the layout of the campus in the event of afireon campus. If a fire were to occur at the Hanson facility, the San Marcos Fire Department would be dispatched to assess the need for evacuation of surrounding areas, with consideration of the amounts and types of hazardous materials outlined in a State mandated "business plan." Hanson Aggregates, along with every establishment storing hazardous materials, is required by California State law to submit a "business plan" to the County of San Diego, Department of Environmental Health (DEH), which lists all hazardous materials housed at the facility and an emergency plan in response to accident or fire. A copy of this plan must be kept at the business site and another copy forwarded to the local fire agency. In addition, county officials make routine inspections, both announced and unannounced, to these facilities to affirm their compliance with state and county safety regulations. Stiff penalties and/or fines are imposed on those who fail to meet the requirements set by the California Health and. Safety Codes. Hanson Aggregates had their last inspection in January of 1998, and had their inventory information updated last August, with continued compliance according to the DEH. f jF Packard, San Diego Police, and Consider the Escondido Humane Society.

SAVE UP TO 40% ON TEXTBOOKS | [H con;: �Expanded Dial In Access Lines for CSUSM Students Adra Hallford PRIDE STAFF WRITER On Thursday, December 2, 1999, Computing and Telecommunications introduced EDIAL (Expanded Dial In Access Line) for CSUSM students who access the Internet from their home computers by dialing into the campus modem pool. Every student on campus will still have access to the free dialup access lines, but now students who need more than their allotted free dialup access time for email, web surfing, or academic research, will have the option of paying 30. dollars every six months for EDIAL and more time on the network. Students accessing the campus network using EDIAL will experience far fewer busy signals than students using the free access lines. The Computing Department has set the highest of goals for EDIAL; they want students to have affordable access to the campus network with no busy signals. Mike Irick, Computing and Telecommunications UNIX Systems Support, points out that the 30 dollars for six months of Internet Service and campus network access breaks down to five dollars a month, considerably less than what even cut-rate Internet Service Providers charge for an Internet connection. The free dialup access lines and EDIAL both provide students with resources other ISPs cannot: access to the electronic Schustack's Notable Books Display Evelyn Choroser PRIDE STAFF WRITER resources offered by the library. To have access to most of the Library's 30+ electronic databases, students must dial into the campus via either the free access lines or through EDIAL: EDIAL is part of the Computing and Telecommunications Department's effort to upgrade the technology and services available to students. Over the summer, Computing upgraded the modem racks and all dial up services to support V90, 56k compatible modems for the newer Macintosh computers, Windows 95 and Windows 98 computers, as well as Windows NT systems. Regardless of which type of dialup account students choose, Computing and Telecommunications offers a wider range of toll-free dialup access numbers from which to choose than last year. The call is free in most of San Diego County. Students can sign up for EDIAL, the Expanded Dial In Access Line, by visiting the Dialup Support website at www.csusm.edu/dialup/, visiting the HelpDesk office located on the second floor of Craven Hall, office #2302, or calling Dialup Support at 750-4716. Students can also request further information by emailing Dialup Administration at dialupadmin @ csusm.edu. College of Education Offers Tlitoring Opportunities By Katelynn Miller for The Pride The College of Education currently offers two opportunities for CSUSM students interested in becoming tutors for elementary and high school students. The first program, America Reads, is an opportunity for CSUSM students to interact with elementary school children in the local community. This is a federally funded program that the President initiated in response to poor reading scores in schools. His vision was to pay college students (who qualify for federal aid) to tutor young children in local schools who are struggling with reading. Improving children's reading ability is a top priority now as research has proven how vital reading ability is for successful learning. EDUC 406A (America Reads) is a class where CSUSM students explore the reading process, learn about wonderful children's books and discuss many literacy issues. Tutors decide their own hours for tutoring, and they meet weekly in class to work together to provide enriching experiences for children. Students who do not qualify for financial aid may volunteer their services as America Reads tutors. The second tutoring opportunity available is for working with high school students in the program for Advancement Via Individual Determination, or AVID. This is a college preparatory program for high school students who might not have sought college as their goal without the support of AVID. The AVID tutors work side by side with students to improve their understanding of subjects such as Biology, Spanish, English, Algebra, etc. Since a variety of students work in each class, it isn't necessary for each tutor to be an "expert" in all subject areas, and in fact the EDUC 407 class teaches tutors how to facilitate groups across the subject areas. Tutors are paid for tutoring from a State work-study grant that CSUSM Financial Aid awards students, if eligible. For more information, contact Katelynn Miller at (760) 750-4328, or lmiller@csusm.edu. ' The Notable Books Display difference between the men and is a good way for our students, the women," she said.

Cognitive Psychology, "One interesting aspect of that according to Schustack, is one of experience was that the feelings the milestones in the field of of entitlement were a primary cognitive psychology, and one surprising element of her study in this area was learning how much of language comprehension is an active process, rather than a receptive one. "We don't just receive the sound waves of spoken language, but as listeners, we work to construct an interpretation. And the process works analogously in reading," she said. A second reading of Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid is a goal expressed by the professor because it is a very challenging book to read. It is thick with details, relationships, and connections and she senses that all of its implications weren't digested with the first reading. Schustack describes The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat as one that engagingly reveals many odd, even bizarre, behaviors resulting from neurological dysfunctions. With her psychological interest focused on the study of very complex patterns of normal cognition and learning, it is apparent why this book's contents would be of interest to the professor. But she suggests, because it reveals the enormous complexity and interrelatedness of the brain and behavior, anyone interested in people will find it rewarding. Professor Schustack is an Associate Professor of Psychology and has been on the faculty of CSUSM since 1991. She received her Ph.D. from Carnegie-Mellon University after graduating from Princeton University and completing a Master's Degree at Yale. Before joining the faculty here, she was at Harvard University holding a research faculty position at UCSD and later worked as a research scientist for the U.S. government. Doctor Schustack is a cognitive psychologist with research interests in skilled reading and the development of literacy, reasoning and problem solving, language learning and language use, and human-computer interaction. Her current research focuses on how computer based recreational activities in an after-school setting can improve children's academic skills. �Understanding the CSUSM Mission Statement Sharon Hambly PRIDE STAFF W RITER If you pay very close attention, you can see one wherever you go. It can be found in fast food restaurants, donut shops, government offices, and service stations. It tells you the "who, what and how" a business will provide services to the customer. For those of you who have not guessed what it is—it's a mission statement. Our university currently has a mission statement that was written in 1989 by the first CSUSM President, Bill Stacy, and 12 founding faculty members. Terry Allison, Assistant to President Gonzalez, has been assigned to lead the campus in an effort to develop a revised campus mission and vision statement to move the university into the new millennium. A team consisting of 25 members including faculty, staff administrators and two stu- dents chosen by ASI, began this long and difficult process in early 1999. Two consultants are leading the group, Mark Baldwin from CSUSM College of Education, and Bill Chiment, from the Poway Unified School District. Both men were chosen because of their background and experience in assisting other schools and agencies in crafting their values and mission, and vision statements. Terry Allison stated that President Gonzalez believed a Revised Version would enable the university administrators and faculty to establish strategic goals for the future. And what does all this mean to you, the student? .Why should the goals and the mission and vision statements concern you?

Is the ad legitimate? Who placed it? What's involved? These are a few of the questions readers ask. Four years ago, Susan Hernandez developed an organization called The Procreative Egg Donor Program where young women between 21 and 30 are sought to provide viable eggs for infertile couples. As program director, Hernandez operates out of Temecula and works with doctors in San Diego. When a woman responds to the ad, Hernandez screens her to determine if she meets the basic requirements and her interest is earnest. Passing this interview, Hernandez forwards an application with an information packet to the prospective donor and requests the application be completed and returned with two photos. Based on the information provided on the application, Hernandez begins her process of matching the prospective donor with a couple who has been referred to her by a physician specializing in infertility. The couple's preferences are relayed on a questionnaire completed earlier. Once the couple chooses a donor from the possible matches offered by Hernandez, contact is re-established with the egg provider to assure continued interest in the program and that her commitment is genuine. Extensive psychological and medical examinations occur to verify that the candidate is in excellent physical and mental health. Although she anticipated maybe one or two donor/couple matches a month when she began the business, Hernandez now coordinates about five. "I'm surprised that there are so many people with fertility problems. The experiences they've endured by the time I'm in contact with them are heart wrenching," Hernandez commented. Laura Hopkins According for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 6.1 million women suffer from infertility in the United States, and approximately 15% of women of childbearing age have received an infertility service. Most cases of infertility are treated conventionally by either medications or surgery, but for those women are still unable to conceive, Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) becomes a possibility for assisting them in becoming pregnant. She believes she has great empathy not only for the infertile couples, but also for the egg donors because of her own involvement in the field of infertility. Hernandez delivered twin boys as a surrogate mother and has donated her own eggs to two Egg donation accounts for 6% of the procedures specified as infertile couples.

However, it is currently used to treat a variety of infertility problems. It involves the collection of eggs and sperm from the couple or, in the case of an infertile woman, from an egg donor. The eggs and sperm are placed together in a laboratory dish to fertilize outside the bfrdy, or in-vitro. The fertilized eggs are placed into the woman's uterus several days later, where implantation can hopefully occur, just as in a normal pregnancy. Egg Ethics- an Opinion Laura Hopkins PRIDE STAFF WRITER The ethics of egg donations are challenged as the bid for beauty reaches $150,000 at www.ronsangels.com, a website dedicated to the sale of human eggs. The beautiful blonde with the striking blue eyes (Model 10) has the highest bid of $150,000 at Ron Harris' egg auction, while the other five models hold their own with bids ranging from $30,000 to $90,000. The commerce of beauty is certainly not a new concept with billions of dollars each year being spent on the cosmetic industry, but Harris crosses an ambiguous line with his egg auction. He argues for the possibility of producing "superior children" and yet states, "It is not our intention to suggest that we make a super society of only beautiful people.

For the egg donor, the process usually begins with an extensive psychological and physical screening. Common testing includes personality assessment as well as blood tests that screen the donor for diseases such as HIV and hepatitis. The donor undergoes a complete physical exam, taking into account family history, to insure optimal wellness. Tests are also performed to rule out sexually transmitted diseases. After the eggs are extracted', they are fertilized in a laboratory and either implanted into the recipient or sometimes frozen, in case the implantation doesn't work. The fertilized eggs are implanted two days later into the recipient's uterus, and nine to fourteen days later blood tests are taken to determine pregnancy! Stress and anxiety usually accompany the waiting period since it is not uncommon for the potential mother-to-be to go through several cycles before becoming pregnant. Even then, the statistics, according to the CDC's 1996 Fertility Clinic Success Rates, show that only 27% of all ART procedures result in pregnancy. In addition, there are legal matters to consider. A surrogate aggreement is required for both! the donor and recipient involving a court action.

Segall PRIDE STAFF W RITER A musical performance by [THE] at noon on Monday may have resulted in a few audience members scratching their heads trying to make sense of what may be described as [THE]'s "experimental," "avant-garde" or "d'alba"—a mix of comedic and musical theatre. [THE], formed approximately in 1977, is composed of Dr. Edwin Harkins and Philip Larson, music professors at UCSD. Professors Edwin Harkins and Philip Larson worked together at the Center for Music Experiment in UCSD in the 70s and also worked in the Extended Vocal Techniques Ensemble. The professors continue to perform for musical ensembles, like the SONOR Program of UCSD, and have toured worldwide from Canada, to Europe, Japan and Scandinavia. In addition, [THE] has more than thirty works in their repertoire, including music with John Cage and Anthony Braxton. The November 29 performance in ACD 102 began with a brief lecture by the professors on musical devices and terms used in their music. Their shows, which usually last from one-anda-half to two hours, have included lasers and lights. As a result, [THE] uses various methods of communication during their performances. Some of the methods included syllable exchange, the "Esperanto language," and another form of communication where hats and shoes were involved to signal specific actions. "It's very odd," said Harkins, referring to their methods of communication. For example one of the forms of communication Harkins demonstrated was ventriloquism. He also disengaged his voice from his word formations. This action may be best described as saying a word, like "hello," without moving your lips, but five seconds later mouthing "hello." Harkins' ventriloquism and outgoing disposition resulted in a round of applause and chuckles from the audience. "You can have fun with that kind of out of synchness," commented Harkins. The duo described how their own codes and language derive from "the rhythm of mispronunciation. After the brief lecture, [THE] began their musical performance. The first part consisted of the duo putting together two tunes, "Beautiful Dreamer" and Gershwin's "I've Got Rhythm," to create a new piece of their own. Perhaps the highlight of the noon performance was when [THE] performed "Body Parts." The audience, individuals ranging from confused to engrossed, had smiling faces, and burst into laughter as the duo tapped different parts of their body, making hand gestures, and grunts, sighs, shouts, and other vocal noises to a set rhythm. It may be surprising to discover that this "music" had a melody, even though their only instruments were their bodies and voices. "The sound is something that happens naturally," said Harkins. The professors also told the audience that they know what their goals are and where they are going when they compose music, but they tell of how there is also freedom.in their composition. They discussed how there is a level of abstraction in their music and that they come from avant-garde music, but have also headed in other directions. [THE] mentioned that their performances bring up many questions from the audience and certain issues may arise that they may choose to side with or n ot Harkins and Larson also note that [THE] is on the borderline of comedy and tragedy. At the end of [THE]'s performance, one of the questions asked by the audience was what first time viewers should expect from a [THE] musical performance. Professor Harkins responded, "Something extremely unusual, yet good." .

Ballet Folklorfco Mixtlan has three main goals according to club president Yesenia Balcazar: the promotion of Mexican culture, community service, and the promotion of higher education. The traditional Mexican dances that Ballet Folklorfco Mixtlan performs help to preserve and celebrate Mexican culture and Jewel's Joy: A Holiday Collection PRIDE STAFF WRITER The soothing sounds of Jewel's voice make the holidays complete. I was pleasantly surprised by her renditions of "O Holy Night" and "Ave Maria" where Jewel sings operatically. In contrast, in her playful sounding "Joy to the World" and "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" her childish voice takes away from the beauty of the music, I love listening to "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "I Wonder as I Wander" because it is reminiscent of a 1940's radio commercial where two women sang in harmony. Joy: A Holiday Collection also includes a medley of the hymn "Go Tell it on The Mountain," Jewel's "Life Uncommon," and Bette Midler's "From a Distance." The medley sounds unconnected, and it's obvious that three different songs created the piece. ^ A Joy: A Holiday Collection doubles as a CD-ROM, allowing users access to a special Jewel video upon buying the CD. As a fan of Jewel, I enjoy Joy: A Holiday Collection for background music, something that will not distract me from my homework or studying.

The coconut husk is used in the making of rope. A miniature replica of an island home was displayed near cups that were used to serve kava, an herbal drink made from the kava root. Kava has natural qualities that relax the body'while clearing the mind, unlike alcohol. It is featured in certain ceremonies and social occasions within island cultures like Samoa and Fiji. A musician from Samoa and another from Hawaii sang island music with acoustic instruments as a guest speaker educated the crowd about a particular island's tradition and way of living. When the time came to talk about the kate 'a, or triton shell, the performers were happy to attempt the famous blowing of the shell-horn that was once used to announce important village meetings. A Polynesian Cultural Fair took place in front of the Dome on Wednesday, December 1, around noon. The event was sponsored by the Latter-day Saints Student Association (LDSSA) and co-sponsored with Associated Students and Global Affairs. Emcee Charlie Bird, a member of LDSSA, said that he had the idea for the cultural fair for over a-yeas .and decided to finally put on the event since he will soon transfer to Brigham Young University next year. through island music, artifact, and dance.

Four drummers provided the musical accompaniment to dances first melodic and slow, and to ones that gradually increased in tempo. Three female dancers in bikini wear of mini-sarongs and coconut shells, as well as the trademark grass skirt, performed intricate movements that incorporated the swaying of hips and the expression of the hands. Their costume included floral and green vine-like garden adornments on their bodies as drummers and acoustic musicians alternated the music for the dancers performances. The kahiko is an ancient Hawaiian hula dance that was performed by a woman singing and simultaneously playing the drum while her daughter performed a solo dance on stage. The song dance told the story Pele, the goddess of the volcano, who ran down the mountain in a rampage, consuming everything in her way.

He said that he abused drugs and had a lot of unprotected sex during that period. He commented that in the past if you contracted something you could go get a shot, but that there isn't a shot for HTV. He was married at the age of 18 and now has two children. The marriage only lasted for four years because he was an abusive husband. He claimed that all he wanted to do was "get high and have sex." He frequently got into trouble and was in and out of jail. This behavior lasted for years until he finally turned his life around in the 80's. He was doing fine until he hurt his back and GEW-Opinion By Penny Lanese There is one fatal flaw with the General Education Requirement for Writing (GEW) program that will ultimately cause the demise of the California State University San Marcos code for the writing requirement and the very foundation that the mission statement stands upon. Even though the Writing Center requirements may help students succeed in their written communication skills, the requirements can also cause an otherwise exceptional student to fail. The majority of the students entering the University from high school do not have the skill to write academic papers at a college level curriculum. The Writing Center is an excellent place for those students to go and share their ideas with trained tutors who enjoy literature and want to help. For the most part, there is nothing wrong with the relationship between the student, the course and the Writing Center. could no longer work. He turned to alcohol and became depressed. He turned his life around again and was going to AA meetings. He was sober from 1990 to 1995. The third guest was a young woman named Molly. She works as a caregiver at Fraternity House in Escondido, and at Michaelle House in Vista. She has worked at both facilities since last July. Molly has a deep'understanding for people afflicted with AIDS since she lost a beloved brother to the dreadful illness. She said that both facilities provide care to a variety of ages and race groups. In 1990 he began dating a young female from his AA support group. Just when he thought that things were going great, his girlfriend revealed to him that she was HIV positive. It was a secret she had carried for three years. They broke up 18 months She said that the people in the later. He tested HIV positive in facilities become extremely 1991.

HIV/AIDS support groups and travels, lecturing youth about AIDS awareness. However, there are students who fail the GEW requirement, not based upon their level of academic writing skills, but rather because of the lack of attendance to the Writing Center. Those students who succeed in academic writing are punished for their talents. On the other hand, the University has a reputation and academic integrity to uphold. The weekly GEW class length is only two and one-half hours long and the one Writing Center appointment completes the weekly total of three hours for "class time." Completely removing the Writing Center from the requirement is a possible "solution." However, those who truly need the Writing Center to improve their writing will not willingly spend their free time reviewing their papers unless it were mandatory. Another "solution" is to make visits to the Writing Center a part of a lab section, instead of an open-ended appointment system. Taking DRUGS Cont. From Pg. 1 and alcohol-related injuries in the hospital trauma room. "It's not what you see on TV," Blatner stated, "Needless injury and death result from people making poor decisions." Peter Pham, a campus police officer, discussed the legal aspects of driving under the influence. Two members of the audience tested their ability at a field sobriety test using glasses that simulated visual impairments to a person under the influence of alcohol. effects of alcohol on the body. He stated that there are 23 separate body functions needed to drive a car. After one drink, a person has only seventeen of those functions working properly. Emnis Jackson, a paramedic, provided a "sobering" slide presentation of drug- and alcohol-related accidents. The audience was treated to refreshments and give-aways that included No Fear T-Shirts, gift certificates to the Gap, Target and Glamour Shots.

Future topics include Detective Ed Wells from the Date Rape, Aids, and Crime San Marcos Sheriff Station Prevention. spoke about the physiological away the student's choice to schedule his or her Writing Center tutoring sessions limits the student. PACIFICA Cont. From Pg. 1 remaining group members have : carried on the tradition by performing all along the Pacific coast. They have recorded two CD's and plan to record a third release next summer. So I offer this solution to the GEW Staff and Faculty: Allow the student to appeal the failed grade in a personal meeting with the current director and the professor. This appeal will consist of a thoroughly written minimum ten-page report of why the student did not attend the Writing Center and an. argument for why they believe they should be able to pass this class. Based upon the report done by the student and the arguments the student makes for their defense, the director and the professor decide the official grade of the student. The standards of the University are still in tact, for a complete report and argument will take more than the seven hours lost in the semester in Writing Center visits. The student chooses to take the responsibility into their own hands, and Writing Center is still required for the GEW class. The music, mostly in Latin, is sung in the tradition of the early Roman Catholic Church. Gregorian chant originated during the era of Pope Gregory I in the sixth century, and much of the original music continues to this day. The program performed at CSUSM consisted of two parts, the first derived from the traditional Latin mass and composed of "ordinaries," or hymns written in the style of the Renaissance, which are sung at every mass. The second part of the program was in celebration of the season of Advent, the four weeks preceding Christmas. Chodos said that although the music stems from a Christian tradition, "it speaks to everyone." He pointed out that the group members come from three religious backgrounds: Catholicism, Protestantism, and Judaism. "The music stands on its own outside of the church setting," Chodos said. « The lyrics have a profound and solemn nature that transcends the noise and clutter of our everyday lives. Latin verse tends to have that mysterious effect on those who don't know the language, but even translated into English, the lyrics seem to be calling from a distant plane. "Ask of me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance and the utmost parts of the earth as your possession," reads the translation of one of the chants. ^ Chodos spoke of the "body of mysticism" found in the Christian church, with which many people are unfamiliar, and the reflection of this music on that tradition. The Gregorian chant, Chodos said, "speaks to everyone on a deep spiritual level." And it seemed to be true. From the moment the members of Schola Pacifica filed onto the stage, until they took their final bow, the audience was given a glimpse of that mystic tradition, and the result was amazing. On Campus With State Assemblyman Howard Kaloogian Andrea Cavanaugh PRIDE STAFF WRITER Fifteen students gathered in The Dome on Wednesday, December 1, to hear State Assemblyman Howard Kaloogian air his views on a variety of subjects. Kaloogian, who is also the Honorary Chairman of the CSUSM chapter of the Young Americans for Freedom, or YAF, addressed the students at the invitation of the College Republicans. He was joined by State Assemblyman Tony Strickland from Ventura. Kaloogian stated that "involvement in government is down to an all time low" among college students. He cited the number of people attending his address on campus as an indicator that college students are not interested in politics. "There should be a great deal of political activism on campus," Kaloogian progressives," he told his audience. "We are the ones who are going to advance the progress of freedom.

"For that amount of money, you'd like to have the kid be able to read his diploma when he graduates," Kaloogian said. Although Kaloogian advocates literacy, both he and Strickland believe that funding for libraries shouldn't come from Sacramento. Funding should come from local governments, Strickland said. Apparently library funding will become a dead issue because, Kaloogian claims, "Libraries will soon become obsolete because of the Internet." Kaloogian, who will be forced out of his Assembly seat next November because of term limits, represents the 74th district, which stretchesfromCarlsbad to Del Mar on the coast and east to Escondido. He has endorsed fellow conservative Mason Weaver as his successor, out of a large pool of Republican hopefuls. The 74th district is considered to be one of the safest Republican assembly seats in the state. "If you win the Republican primary, you can go to Sacramento and look for a house," Weaver was quoted as saying in the San Diego Union Tribune. One of Kaloogian's goals for the remainder of his term is to "convert Social Security into a program that will be around for you and me," he said, without giving specific details. Asked about his plans after leaving office, Kaloogian replied that he "hopes to be working in the Bush administration." �CSU SAN MARCOS CALENDAR OF EVENTS IMPORTANT NOTICE Traffic Detour Twin Oaks Valley Rd & Hwy 78 Wednesday, December 8 Library Book Sale The monthly Library Book sale has a great selection of used books on a variety of subjects.

Vourlitis will study the ecology of transitional tropical forests in Brazil. Transitional tropical forest is considered an ecotonal ecosystem, which exists between a tropical rainforest and savanna ecosystems. The main objective of the research is to calculate the links between carbon and water cycling and then to understand how these relations are affected by seasonal and interannual variations in average temperature. One other important goal of the project is to strengthen Brazilian tropical ecology research by instituting continuous research and training programs. Vourlitis and his colleagues have developed short courses for students and faculty at Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso that will focus on ecophysiological theory, instrumentation, and analysis. Since 1999, Vourlitis has been leading the binational of prisoners on death row. Although Blacks constitute 50 percent of all murder victims, 83 percent of the victims in death penalty cases are white." More statistics can b e found at nodeathpenalty.org; Gov.

According to the booth's information pamphlets, media representations of persons of color give way to racial profiling of minorities as crime-committing individuals. At a different booth devoted to the racial exclusion tendencies of Mattel's pilot product Barbie, displays highlighted the reality of Mattel's under-representation of non-white dolls. Forum participants Marie Ferguson, Laura Hansen, Christine Vaughan and Breann Montes shared the misleading efforts Mattel has extended in attempts at introducing cultural diversity for Barbie and her friends. The dolls of color are actually constructed with slightly darker skin tones, but the dolls showcase the identical features and eye colors as their Caucasian counterparts, making them difficult to distinguish as black, Latina, or Asian. As also pointed out by Ferguson, Barbie's little sister Kelly has a "Friends of The World" collection leading one to believe that her playmates originate from all ends of the globe. The collection features girls from France, Switzerland, Ireland and Spain. The array features no girls from South or Central America, Asia, or Africa. "The collection should be called 'Kelly's Friends of Europe," commented Ferguson. At a booth devoted to the deciphering of racial messages as they are transmitted to America's youth, Lisa Renfro commented on the statements, that in-her view, Disney sends to child viewers about good versus evil. "Evil villains are portrayed as dark figures and the good guys are white and ride on white horses," said Renfro in referencing Disney's character trends. Renfro also shared information about Disney's tendency to feature ethnic characters such as Pocahontas, Princess Jasmine, or Mulan as having dark skin, but Caucasian-like features such as straight long hair and white female voice-overs. In response to the information shared at the forum, junior Chris Sanchez proposed that the most impacting information he received from the event was statistics on what ethnicities populate the prisons around our country.

W ANTED SWIM INSTRUCTORS!!! $11.00 - $17.00 per hour Call (760) 744-SWIM 'Finals Frenzy'in -swing BY KIMBERLY RAYMOND Pride Staff Writer Finals are a stressful time for all students. Deadlines and the desire for achievement create high levels of anxiety. A successful and stress-free exam period is not guaranteed, but there are ways to ease the tension. ASI is sponsoring Finals Frenzy event week, giving students the opportunity to relieve the stress that surfaces during finals week. Monday through Wednesday, Dec. 12-14, the Clarke will be open until midnight, offering laptops, printer access and individual and group study space, making the studying process less painful and more convenient. Coffee and a catered "mystery" dinner will be provided each night to boost energy and help keep students focused. The Kellogg Library at Cal State San Marcos is extending its hours starting on Monday, the sixth. The library will be open on Monday through Thursday from 7-10, on Friday from 8-5, on Saturday from 10-5, and on Sunday from 1-8. The media library will open at 8, Monday through Friday, and is open from 1-5 on Saturday and Sunday. By having that extra hour, students will be able to be moreflexiblewith their study schedule. Not only does the library provide important resource tools for studying, but it also gives students a comfortable, relaxing environment to study in with little distractions. The first thing you need to do while studying forfinalexams is to get yourself organized and not wait until the last minute. You should start studying a week in advance, allowing yourself to budget time for each class. It is impossible to cram an entire semesters worth of work into two nights of studying. An effective way to budget your time is to make a schedule including your work, school, sleep and social schedule for the week leading up tofinals.This will give you a rough idea of how much time you have for studying. Remember that one to two hour study sessions are more efficient than long ones. If your study schedule means missing out on the 3-kegger on Saturday night beforefinals,than so be it. Finals only grace us with their presence once a semester and reflect all the time and energy that we put into school. During finals week, try to resist the urge to party on your off days. Look at it as more of a jump start for your upcoming final. The most important thing to remember during finals week is to stay healthy. It is better to be well-rested than to stay up all night cramming. Eating healthy plays a huge role in staying healthy. Eat a balanced diet and try to decrease your intake of junk food; it will help your brain focus more. Hopefully this information will help you get through this dreaded week. �MONEY, MONEY UNIVERSITY STORE OF SEMESTER BUY DECEMBER 7 t h - 14 9:00 AK - 7:00 PM @ FOUNDER Sep «fit SELL YOUR BOOKS FOR CASH A ND RECEIVE A COUPON FOR 2 0% OFF AT THE UNIVERSITY STORE A ND GET A COUPON FOR A FREE 32 oz.

SPRING BOOKLIST OUT ON JANUARY 5TH �Teaching abroad in China BY PATRICK B. LONG Pride Staff Writer Global expansion in the economic arena gives opportunity to the areas of growth in aspects of education and learning. The Global Affairs office and the Literature and Writing Department at Cal State San Marcos worked together last summer to send two student teachers to China. This opportunity afforded both Marc Scott and Richard Hunt the chance to teach in China at Guangxi Normal University. The roots for the CSUSM / Guangxi Normal University China Teaching Fellows Program go as far back as 1960, according to Dr. Susie Cassel. Dr. Cassel's father, Dr. Russell Cassel, aö education specialist with the U.S. State Department, and Dr. Paul Ma, an agricultural inspector with the United Nations, began a friendship in the 1960s and expressed an interest in the formation of the program. Dr. Russell Cassel knew of his daughter's interest in China, and her love for teaching English. He kept in contact with Dr. Ma and sought to arrange for both Dr. Cassel and Dr. Dawn Formo, also of Cal State San Marcos, to travel to China. Dr. Susie Cassel and Dr. Dawn Formo arrived in Guilin to begin the China Teaching Fellows Program in summer 2004. The unfortunate passing of both Dr. Russell Cassel and Dr. Ma, prior to the trip in 2004 prevented both of them from seeing the collaboration to its final development. "There are hopes to expand this program in the future beyond faculty and graduate students to undergraduate students," says Dr. Susie Cassel. "There were many things about teaching in China that were exciting for me, but if I had to isolate just one it would be the opportunity for me to teach Chinese American literature to Chinese students," Dr. Cassel writes, regarding her experience in China. "My American students often see works like "The Woman Warrior" and "The Joy Luck Club" as 'very Chinese,'" added Cassel. "Conversely, Chinese students found these works to be 'very American' and an equal amount of time was spent explaining American." The summer of 2005 saw the return of a Cal State San Marcos teachers to China and the Guangxi Normal University. This time Scott and Hunt ventured out to the school in order to teach English. "The most important aspect of my time in China was the connections I made with students over there," wrote Marc Scott.. "I stay in contact with several students I taught in China, and I enjoy hearing about their studies and future plans." "One interesting thing I took from the experience was a heightened awareness of how people from the United States are perceived abroad; it seemed a hurdle was cleared between me and the individuals I talked to," wrote Scott. Dr. Susie Cassel feels strongly about the experience that both Americans and Chinese can get from sharing cultures and experiences in our abroad programs. "Participating in these experiences can be paradigm-altering; sharing these experiences in the classroom, in the hallways, and in the community benefits us all," wrote Dr. Susie Cassel. The five to six week long program for teachers will begin again a week after the Spring semester ends (approximately May 21-June 30, 2006).

That seems to be the first question one should tackle as they take on their finances. The best place to start is to know where you are starting from. What are yourfinanceslike today? Get out a piece of paper and draw a line straight down the middle. At the top of the left column write "assets" and at the top of the right put "liabilities". So, what are assets? Start with checking and savings accounts (and if you have neither, then getting these accounts will be a good startingpoint, Wells Fargo, Washington Mutual, Bank of America, and almost all other banks have accounts specifically designed for college kids) and put the value of these in the asset column. Do you have any stocks or bonds? If so, these are assets and should be placed in the, you guessed it, asset column. If you do not know the current value of the bond your grandmother bought you for your first birthday, go to http://www. publicdebt.treas.gov and look it up. 401(k)'s, IRA's, home equity, current market value of any vehicles, jewelry, home furnishings, et cetera, should all be included. Basically, if you turned everything you have into cash, how much would you have? This is the value of your assets. Liabilities are the opposite of assets. This includes credit card debt, student loan debt, auto loans, home loans, any unpaid bills, and anything else that you owe to another party (a 'party' being a bank or your mom... not what we college kids do so well at the beginning of every weekend, a.k.a. Thursday). Total assets, less total liabilities, will be your current net worth. Hopefully this is a positive number, but it is usually a negative; the goal is to make a positive number grow as fast as possible or shrink a negative number to zero a.s.a.p. Easier said than done, but at least an understanding of your current position will allow you to take steps in the right direction. Soon we'll discuss your personal cash flow and how to maximize its potential. For now, let me leave you with a quick tip. If, at the end of every month you have no money left over because you paid all your bills and had a little fun, consider a couple options to increase your monthly cash flow. First, if you receive a tax refund at the end of every year, call your human resources representative and adjust your tax withholdings. A yearly refund of $500 roughly translates into an extra $40 a month in your pocket. Also, shop around for different auto insurance quotes and compare rates. This can reveal a huge savings you may never have noticed. Every paycheck is the beginning of the same cycle: money in, bills paid, fun had, now wait to get paid again. Many affectionately call this cycle The Rat Race, but it seems we are more like the mouse running in the wheel. We work hard and run fast, but we are not going anywhere. My advice is to get off the damn wheel; but how? In the last article we identified our current net worth by subtracting liabilities from assets. This time we are going to calculate our monthly cash flow. Cashflowis the cycle that begins with each paycheck and is not quite as easy to determine as our net worth. Get out a piece of paper and draw a line down the middle again. On the left side we will identify our monthly income. This includes take home pay (your income after taxes and any fees or union dues), dividends from stocks, bonuses, or even money your mom gives you on a regular basis. Do not be general with these numbers. The more exact you are the better. The right column, money-out, can also be designated as "expenditures". This can be a little tricky. There are the obvious expenditures: rent, food, utilities, transportation costs, credit card bills, cell phone, but there are also the more obscure expenditures: medical bills, new clothes, new tires for the car, gym fees, tuition and books. This list can go on and on and these expenditures that do not occur each month must be broken down to a "per month" basis. Also, make sure to include fun and entertainment as an expense. Be realistic with these numbers and DO NOT sugarcoat it. Finally, total each column and subtract the total of the right column from the total of the left. This number is the surplus (if positive) or deficit (if negative) of your monthly cash flow. Basically, after all is said and done, how much money do you have or how much do you owe? Now you are in one of three categories: your income is greater than your expenses, your expenses equal your income, or your expenses exceed your income. If you are in either of the last two categories, try to identify where your money is escaping. Are you spending too much on fast food, clothes, fun...? Are you genuinely doing everything you can to minimize expenditures? Set your priorities with an understanding that moneyin must "at least" match money-out, but if the only expense that is pushing you into the red is education costs, take out a student loan and stay in school. These losses are acceptable and you will recoup them later in life, but every dollar you borrow today is $1.25 (not exactly but you know what I mean) you will pay back tomorrow, so borrow as little as possible and avoid racking up credit card debt. A quick tip for those with high credit card bills: on the back of your credit cards is a phone number for customer service. Call it and ask them to lower your interest rate, you'd be surprised how often they say yes. Catch eye BY LILLIAN POZOS Pride Staff Writer For some reason I can never make it on time to my History 201 class on Mondays and Wednesday. So I arrive 5 minutes late and sit in the back of the class, the last row next to the wall. Sitting to the side of me are always three friends, Matt, Eric and Karen. Matt, 10, has always for some reason caught my eye, maybe it's the lip piercing. I don't know. A few weeks ago I noticed Matt working in the Parking Information Booth and had seen him many times following that day around campus. I had never spoken to Matt before, and to my surprise he had lived in the University Village last year, as did L I sat down with him on Wednesday afternoon when he was working at the Info Booth and questioned him on life in general. h I learned that Matt is a really busy guy. He told me that he worked two other jobs in addition to the booth, one at American Eagle, the other at the front desk of the UVA. On top of that he is also Treasurer for the Residence Hall Council. Matt told me that he "was just your normal college student" that goes out and likes to have fun. He loves going to clubs and likes to go to Hollywood with his friends on Thursday nights to attend "Tiger Heat", an 18 and up dance club. I asked if he had any special passions and his face lit up. Volleyball, anything do with volleyball. He says he lives and breaths it. Amazing what you find out about a person if you just sit and talk with them.

The inverted pyramid says to write the most general facts in the beginning of your story, gradually going deeper into specifics as the article wears on. Thanks to the return of the inverted Christmas tree this year, I now associate Christmas with reporting to the masses. Upside-down trees were common in Europe during the twelfth century. Europeans hung their Christmas trees from the ceiling and watched them dangle there for a few weeks during the holiday season. The current inverted trees are all artificial and can be hung from the ceiling or shoved into a base by their pointed tips. They are thought to be more logical than the typical trees, as they, take up lessfloorspace. But the more popular sales pitch is that the upside-down trees allow more room for presents. Considering that the typical inverted tree costs around 600 dollars, I am guessing the children living in such an affluent household can do without piles and piles of presents. There is another, more subtle problem with this flip-flopping of foliage. The Christmas tree's shape is symbolic. It is said to be pointing toward Heaven. When the tree is turned upside-down for reasons of practicality, it is symbolically pointing toward Hell. So, in addition to taking the "Christ" out of the "Merry Christmas" greeting (I predict that next the ACLU will claim mistletoe promotes sexual harassment, but that is a different article), the tree has turned quite sinister. Lately Christmas has become less about magic and tradition and more about economics and logic. It is more logical to conserve space in Christmas tree-filled department stores. It is more economically beneficial to buy extra presents to put under our trees. Yet there is a price to pay for < & 5r pragmatism. Our consumer-friendly trees won't have stars, our children will be spoiled beasts, and our houses will be perpetually absent of the smell of pine.

BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer Pull out a pot and add one cup ambition, three teaspoons of soul, lA pint creativity, a dash of hot sauce, the color blue and alas, what do you have? No, this is not a recipe for grandma's fruitcake, rather this is a brief rundown of all of the elements that comprise the acoustic soul pop singer Alyssa Jacey. Alyssa is a new artist that is rising fast right under our CSUSM noses, and her spirit is taking our campus, as well as the rest of San Diego County, by storm. Alyssa's career began when she started attending karaoke in November 2004. Upon witnessing her talents, Alyssa's friends advised her to make something of her vocal abilities, and with this notion Alyssa began pursuing music. By January 2005 she was recording professionally with no prior vocal training. This year proved promising for Alyssa as she gave her first performance at the San Diego County Fair in June and has since played over 40 shows at venues such as The Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, RT's Longboard Grill in Pacific Beach, Canes in Mission Beach, and at the CSUSM campus promoting for groups such as Alpha Kappa Psi. "I used to sing for people when I served in restaurants," said Alyssa, crediting her success to persistent selfpromotion. Other methods of gaining publicity and recognition included distribution of her music and business cards at shows. Her popular Myspace page offers samples of her inusic and a calendar of upcoming shows. "I think the majority of succeeding at any talent is to have dedication," Alyssa reflected as she shared the reasons for why she feels she has come so far since the start of the year. Major inspiration comes from artists such as Shawn Colvin, Sarah McLachlan, and Tracy Chapman as well as bands like Matchbox Twenty. When asked if she considered herself a role model, Alyssa answered yes, justifying her response with recalls of mistakes of her previous situations. She states, "I've been to the bottom, and climbed back up." This low came in the form of living in Los Angeles, aspiring to be a dancer, but falling in with the wrong crowd and thus losing focus. Since leaving Los Angeles she has gotten back into school full time and regained control of her life as she dedicates herself to the pursuit of her career. "Don't let seemingly large obstacles intimidate you," is what Alyssa had to say after moving off track but recovering. On the verge of turning 24 years old, Alyssa Jacey has singing, songwriting, dance, choreography, and guitar skills under her belt, and she still finds time to do other things with her life such as teaching dance, as well as volleyball, soccer, and surf in the summer. She finds it difficult to juggle school and her career, but because she believes she is meant to sing Alyssa strives to fit everything into her busy schedule. Currently, Alyssa is working to have her CDs sold in Starbucks coffee shops as well as being added to Starbucks' artist tour that will be happening this winter. Alyssa will be performing three shows for the Vagina Monologues at CSUSM on Dec. 8-10. For information on Alyssa Jacey's upcoming shows visit www.alyssajacey.com and www. myspace.com/alyssajacey. CONGRATULATIONS to all Graduating Seniors! Cal State San Marcos Alumni Association 760.750.4405 - Email: alumni@csusm.edu �Extended Studies: update professional skills BY PIYAMAS J Y. SABLAN Pride Staff Writer The Extended Studies' winter/ spring 2006 catalog is now available for those interested in registering for classes. "Practically anyone can take one of the non-credit classes and students do not have to be enrolled in the university," said Mary Kenny, director of marketing and communications for Cal State San Marcos Extended Studies. Study Abroad esuip Application Meetings! A lot of students already have a degree but take the Extended Studies' classes to keep their professional skills updated or because they are interested in certain subjects and want to learn more about them. Some occupations do not require a bachelor's degree but require knowledge in a certain field. "The mission of Extended Studies is to serve as the academic outreach arm of the university. We're an integral part of the institution's Academic and Student Affairs division, and our primary purpose is to extend the academic and instructional resources of the university to the region, and expand access for audiences that the university may not be able to serve through more traditional channels", explained Kenny. Classes are offered to the general community for professional and personal growth but are also designed to provide training and Wednesday, Dec. 7 11:30-12:30 in ACD 402 A + S UBS Thursday, Dee. 8 1:00-2:30 in Univi 00 r Call Jacki FREE M ,- Preschool substitutes, aids, and teachers.

Academic credit can be obtained through Open University, Special Sessions, and the Over 60 Program. "Open University allows members of the community to take courses from the regular Cal State San Marcos catalog of offerings on a space-available basis without going through the formal admission process. For example, if you have the necessary pre-requisites (if any) for the courses selected, you're not limited to taking only Extended Studies courses to continue your education. Open University is a program designed for those who: want to update professional training, missed the deadline for admission to the university, want to examine a particular field before actually enrolling in LFIVE e fans s 858-565-2144 a degree program, are considering re-entering an academic program, or want to take courses besides those offered through Extended Studies. Through Special Sessions, Extended Studies offers regular Cal State San Marcos courses at times other than the regular semesters. These courses may be offered concurrently with the regular semesters, but these special sections are designed primarily for non matriculated students. There is no limit to the number of Special Sessions courses a student may take; however, only 24 semester units may be applied toward an undergraduate degree. Through the Over 60 Program, California residents age 60 or older may enroll in any regular Cal State San Marcos class during the academic year on a space-available basis at a special, low rate per semester. Kenny explains that, "they may enroll in credit or non-credit courses and can even earn a degree." According to Kenny, the classes offered through Extended Studies are determined by listening to the needs of current and prospective students, from learning what is needed in the work force through Extended Studies' memberships in various organizations such as the North County Chambers of Commerce and the North County Economic Development Council, and from local hospitals and teacher associations. Winter session runs through May 2006 and if certain classes have a high demand from students, they will most likely be offered again during the next session. "Extended Studies is the only continuing education provider affiliated with a four year institution of higher education in North County and due to the anticipated population increase in San Diego and Riverside Counties over the next few years, more classes may be offered to accommodate this growth," stated Kenny. Extended Studies' classes are usually held on campus in the Foundation Classroom Building in rooms 104 and 106 but there are some classes available off-campus. Class fees vary and there is a 30 percent discount on most classes to CSUSM employees and a 15 percent discount to CSUSM alumni. Students can register for classes or obtain class information on Extended Studies through their web site www.csusm-es.org %or by calling their-office at 760750-4020. Students may also stop by the office located in the Foundation Classroom Building between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Students can e-mail comments or class suggestions to es@csusm.edu.

Gezai Berhane, of Student Life and Leadership said, "This program started in an effort to recognize our students' involvement in so many extracurricular and co-curricular activities through their involvement in student organizations and service learning classes." The transcript, signed and stamped by the vice president of StudentAffairs, can be used to supplement scholarship, graduate school, and job applications. "The program started to be implemented in the year 1998 but the process of starting this program started at least a year before that, said Berhane. Students who want to begin building their Tukwut Transcript must pick up data entry forms and transcript requests at the Stu- ASI dent Life and Leadership office in Craven Hall4116. Students need to submit transcript entries to the SLL office by the end of the semester following the activity. For example, i fa club puts on events throughout the fall semester, the submission form must be filled out by the end of spring semester. For submissions describing ongoing involvement with a club or program, a new entry must be submitted for each year of membership. For example, if a student is the president of a club during the 2001-2002 academic year, the "Leadership" entry should be submitted to SLL by the end of the spring semester in 2002. Even if a student remains active in a club from year to year, a new entry form must be submitted at the end of each academic year. An on-campus faculty advisor or staff member will validate the entry upon submission. If a student is having problems obtaining a valid signature for the entry form, contact Julie Wright in the Student Life and Leadership office. It will take the office 35 working days to process each transcript request. The SLL office will not accept entries that describe involvement or participation that occurred more than a year prior to application. Each student is eligible to receive five free copies per year. Additional copies are available for a nominal cost. The Tukwut Transcript will be held indefinitely. It is up to the student to request extra copies of the transcript prior to leaving the university. The transcript is divided into nine sections: -Career Development: Includes part-time university employment, internships, and involvement in professional organizations. -Community Service/ Service Learning: Includes campus supervised volunteer service on- and off-campus, either as part of a service learning course or coordinated through the Office of Service Learning. -Honors/Awards/Schol- arships: Includes any type of formal recognition given by the College - Dean's List, Outstanding Student Awards, etc. - Leadership/Student Organizations: Includes any leadership role or membership position held for at least one semester in a campus club or organization. -Presentations/Travel: Includes written or oral presenr tations that can be verified by a faculty or staff member but are not required for a course. It also includes student travel or participation/involvement in a conference sponsored through university channels. -Published Writing/Creative Activities/Other: Includes published scholarly or creative works, documentary productions, media publications or works, and computer projects. -Recreation/Athletics: Includes involvenient in intramural activities or club sports. -Research Activities: Includes participation in independent research coordinated by D oes...

Palomar Family YMCA 760-745-7490 �Jock talk with Josh BY JOSH SANDOVAL Special to The Pride Several weeks ago in my COMM 360 class, Professor Fredi Avalos said something that caught my attention: "Do you want to be right, or do you want to change the world?" What I think she was saying was, what are your intentions when you set out to do something? What are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to prove yourself right or are you trying to make the world a better place? I think most people in sports, especially sports writers, are just trying to prove themselves right. I certainly have done my fair share of that. I know that proving myself right doesn't do anything but boost my own ego, but all you have to do is ask some of my friends to realize how sure of myself I am already. I look around the sports world and see plenty of people who have an influential voice, but don't use it for positive things. Can you imagine if Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan spoke out on social issues the way Charles Barkley does? Jordan would rather pimp his clothing line and latest book on Oprah's show, while Tiger goes on the Tonight Show to talk about his new video game. My voice only goes out to several thousand people at the moment, but I am not going to sit back and just talk about easy issues that don't make you think. I don't always want to write about what the Chargers should do with Phillip Rivers (trade him), or which player Kobe Bryant needs to win a championship (a decent center a la Amare Stoudemire, which clearly isn't going to happen since he is locked up long term). You can get those topics from "Sports Illustrated" or "ESPN". From those outlets you can't get someone like me talking about how the NHL and NBA are just another form of segregation. I have received more e-mail this semester than in the two previous combined. I have also had a lot of people approach me on campus in an attempt to tear into me regarding the topics that I have written about, most notably regarding my take on homosexuals in athletics. Apparently, there are some people who don't appreciate the topics that I cover. Take Evan Pellecchia, for example, "Write more about sports," said Pellecchia. "Not issues that are dealt with everyday with a sports swing to it." I think Pellecchia's concern can be addressed with a phrase that Professor Avalos uses quite often, "Open your eyes folks". If you can't see parts of everyday life in sports, then I worry for you. I know that many people turn to entertainment such as sports and music for an escape from everyday life. The same people who are telling me they don't want to read about racism and homosexuality in sports are probably the same people who tell Kanye West to stick to rapping about "gold diggers", stop rapping about Jesus, and don't talk about the President. I have lost count of the e-mails that question my sports knowl- edge. Take Cassandra Lelek, for example, "As I assume you are the sports 'go-to' guy," said Lelek, "It would be nice if you actually knew something about sports before you wrote about them." Let me address the concern of Lelek and so many of you. Do research before you send personal attacks my way. Go do a google news search on "Joshua Sandoval". Then see what pops up. I think if my work appears in the "San Diego Union-Tribune", then I might actually know a little something about sports and journalism. r Then there is the wonderful e-mail that I received that wants me dismissed. "As an avid reader of The Pride, I finally decided to take it upon myself to call for your dismissal as a sports columnist," said someone by the name of Mike. He didn't use a CSUSM e-mail address or give a last name; probably because he knew he would end up in a future article or has a fear of running into me on campus. What's funny about the developments over the semester is I now realize that people actu- ally read this. I knew I had a few loyal readers (shout out to Jade Zwinger). However, now that the issues are more controversial, the readers are coming out like homosexual basketball players. I could care less if you hate what I have to say, just as long as you read it. I spend a lot of time around comedians and I now understand what so many of them say. "You don't remember the thousands of great sets that you have. You remember the few where you were booed off the stage." As you can tell, the comments that stick out in my head are the ones that tell me I suck. However, I will be back next semester because of comments from people like John Jacobs: "Your column in The Pride is so hilarious," said Jacobs. "You're a funny guy and a great writer. Keep up the good work, bro! " Send all comments to Sando026@csusm.edu. I do respond to every single e-mail that I receive. However, you may want to be careful what you say, now that you see that there is a possibility you could be quoted. Women's Volleyball Athletes p repare for spring sports BY HEATHER ZEMAN Pride Staff Writer With the fall season coming to an end, many of the spring athletes are just getting ready for the games to begin. Women's volleyball is preparing for its second season here at CSUSM. Women's volleyball is an ASI sponsored team, with the hopes of becoming a division sport. Tryouts were held at the end of September, when the team picked up four new girls for a total of 12 on the team. The traditional volleyball season starts on January 17, but the team is currently competing in tournaments in southern California. Team captain Melissa Hughes said, "The tournaments are to get out and to play teams that aren't necessarily in our league, and to get playing time in." The ladies' next tournament will be at San Diego State University on Dec. 10 and 11. Teams will be coming from schools such as UCLA, Berkeley, and Arizona State University. Following this tournament, the ladies will have about a month off from games. The team will continue preparing for the league tournaments to start up on Jan. 17 and continue to be held every Tuesday night for about eight weeks. CSUSM's women's volleyball falls under the San Diego or Southern California league. Other teams in the league are SDSU, UCSD, Pt. Loma, and USC. These teams will also play each other at Regionals and have the option to attend Nationals in Salt Lake City in April. Another anticipated tournament will be held over spring break in Las Vegas. Last season, the women's team traveled to Las Vegas along with 37 other teams. CSUSM ended up taking 12th place overall. Melissa Hughes is anticipating an exciting season to come. "We have a very dedicated team. We are each otheris best friends and that makes for a great chemistry on the court as well." Although the ladies are preparing for the season already, another tryout will be held in the near future. The team will be losing four girls to the study abroad program. For more information regarding the team and upcoming tryouts, contact Melissa Hughes at hughe018@csusm.edu.

Stse 107. San Marcos, a 92078 �Podhead Student retrospective A personal trip to the musical highlife BY J.R. SAPP Pride Staff Writer BY JESSICA DAMBKOWSKI Pride Staff Writer They walk around CSUSM everyday, and we all see them, the "Podheads". You know, the iPod people who are "tuned" to their music all the time. I decided to become one of them and go undercover to investigate the world of the Podheads. I borrowed my boyfriend's iPod, and the next morning had a quick self-learning session on how to work the tiny machine, before I struck out in the musical underworld. Listening to a new techno song, I took to the stairs. The hike at 8:45 a.m. was, as ridiculous as it sounds, fun! The music made my heart start pumping and by the end of the trip to Sociology 320,1 was really "amped" for class to start. At my usual break between classes I tuned myself again and set off for ACD's open access computer lab. I counted four other Podheads on the way over, and wondered what sort of music their lives were jamming to. I was actually having a good time just walking around campus and listening to the music I normally had to leave at home or in the car. I couldn't help thinking how awesome it was to have my life's own personal soundtrack playing everywhere I went. That is what is so great about being Podheads, each and every person has a personal soundtrack. At the end of my day I seriously did walk PAST my car. I was so pleasantly distracted I forgot where I had parked my car. In the end, while I don't have an iPod of my own, being a Podhead for a day was definitely an experience worth repeating. It was so much f un, I'll probably put the iPod on my Christmas list. Music for life anyone? The best mother is the one who, by virtue of doing a good job, renders herself obsolete - not in the hearts of her children, but in the daily minutia, the chores, and childrearing that consume her days and drive her a little crazy. As the time of my obsolescence approached, I decided to go back to college and finish the degree I had started to earn some (well, many) years ago. I did the paperwork, filled out the forms, and ordered my transcripts and SAT scores from the archives of various high schools, community colleges, and universities in another state. By the grace of God, and the kindness of Kitty Lucero-Egger, who reviewed my dismal transcripts and let me in anyway, I was accepted into CSUSM with a 2.0 GPA. My college-age daughter gave me a brief and depressing explanation of why, no matter how many classes I took to complete my degree, my GPA would never recover from my wasted youth. But I persevered, kicked my Type A personality into high gear, and earned some report cards that were worthy of posting on my refrigerator next to those of my children. And so I am graduating, finally, at the end of this semester. We autumn graduates don't warrant a ceremony, a cap, a gown, or the privilege of shaking the hands of our professors as we are handed our diploma covers. I guess there just aren't enough of us. It would probably be anti-climactic to walk the line in the spring, and I wouldn't want to steal the thunder from my younger daughter who will be graduating then. So although I'll never make the valedictorian speech (see GPA discussion above), there are some people I would thank for helping me along on this journey. (Cue "Pomp and Circumstance.") To my husband - for all the dinners I didn't cook, the shirts I didn't iron, and the hours I spent studying, thanks for apt complaining too much. You may never really understand what this has all meant to me, but you try to, and that's good enough. To my daughters, Jennifer and Stephanie, who have encouraged me every single step of the way, I couldn't have done this without your kind words and absolute conviction that I'm the smartest woman you know. To my son Michael, thank you for the laughs and for doing your own laundry. And to my son's favorite line - "It's taken you almost thirty years to get your degree and you're not even a doctor!" To my professors - I think you know how important this is or you wouldn't be doing what you do. You taught me that I could stay the course, and that improving my writing was a worthy endeavor. To my fellow scholars - thanks to every one of you who never thought twice about sitting in class next to a woman twice your age. Thanks for your willingness to answer my honest questions with thoughtful answers, and for letting me engage in the academic process as one of you. Tuition, books, & parking $10,000.

And lest we break with tradition,, ime last time a£ s chraÖÖ9#>siism^ i-il i Letter from the Editor-in-Chief BY PATRICK B ; LONG Pride Editor-in-chief This "Letter From the Editor" will be read by more students than my first. The is only by the mere fact that The Pride has definitely picked up readers this semester, and it is all thanks to the new staff and writers. Collaboration is important in the making of a great newspaper. Checks and balances, like that of a good government, are needed. We made some mistakes, but we learned from them and moved on. So, to all of those who participated in The Pride this year, I thank you. It is a daunting task to put out a weekly paper, and it takes more than whining about the quality of the work; it takes courage to stand up and do something about it. If you, the readers, know a staff writer, or a student who regularly participated in the efforts of making this a great school paper, I ask you to thank them. Now I shall name names. First and foremost, Jason Encabo is the reason the paper looks so good. His eye for layout is only second to his dedication to getting the job done, no matter how long it takes. He stuck it out into the late nights until the work was doner sometimes the newspaper didn't make it out until midnight on Monday for Tuesday delivery. Christine "this story has to go in" Vaughan, Zachary J. "sit down, we're going to edit this together" Simon, and Erin "oh my gosh, that's so cute" Young make the paper diverse enough to attract a large audience. I look forward to another semester with them. Last, I want to thank both Dr. Anthony Hurst and Cindy Hanson, who took time to listen to writers complain about me. If everybody is happy, I'm not doing a good job. Now it's time for the call to join. COMM and LTWR 316 are waiting for you. Yes, it's late at night, and ye,s you'll work very hard, but let's be narcissistic about it, you'll get to see your name in print. Even if you do not join the class, feel free to join us next semester at ACD 404 Tuesdays at 5 p.m. The first hour is dedicated to assigning stories and gathering story ideas. TO m ake this a better paper, I'm seeking more beat writers. No, not the next Kerouac, but writers that cover only one specific area. This semester we had "Jock Talk with Josh" and a couple of newcomers to the fall '05 Pride team, "Robbins Report" and "Cash Corner." These topics cover the political climate on campus, finance strategies for students, and, of course, sports. Antoinette Johnson will be returning as our new police liaison. We are looking for students who can cover other areas as well. This would be a weekly column that entails a topic that you are knowledgeable about. Areas of interest for the paper include campus sports, business aiid the business department, art and the art department, and movies. As always, the editors are here to help the writing process if you are not comfortable. Next semester also welcomes the arrival of the 2006 Pride Literary Supplement (PLS). This publication comes out every spring semester and is made up of art work, poems, short stories, and other art related material. The bad news is, since the change of the email system, we lost all of the submissions from this semester. We need everybody who submitted to re-submit their work. Please place "PLS" in the subject line of the email to pride@csusm.edu. Coming from o divorced family BY LILLIAN POZOS Pride Staff Writer Coming from a divorced family, the holidays have always been a yo-yo fiasco for me. When I was a child, my holidays were literally cut straight down the middle. I would be handed off at either midnight or noon to the next parent in a relative's drive-way. For Christmas and New Year's, it would be one parent on the Eve and another on the day, with a switch off at midnight on Christmas or a switch off at noon on New Year's Day. And, oh, so much bickering in between. All my holidays from the ages of five to seventeen were handled that way, except one, Thanksgiving. I went with whichever parent it would be most convenient for because of my week-long school vacation. It became especially dif- ficult when my parents fought over Thanksgiving. I was left in the middle with no say, even though they posed the tricky question of "where do you want to go?" Growing up with Thanksgiving as a literal toss up, I am left today with so much confusion and a growing dislike of holidays in general. Now that I am an adult, and living away from home, I am now able to make decisions on my own, what am I to do when Thanksgiving and other holidays, like Easter, have been a sole parent holiday my entire life? I'm in my third year of college, and, sadly, I have learned the hard way that no matter what decision I make, no parent will be happy. And so again, I enter another holiday season with the same growing discontent. My parents don't understand how nerve-wracking it is for me to choose where to spend the holidays. I know I am not alone with my distraught feelings of the holidays, because many other students of CSUSM deal with similar issues. The conflict may come from being a child of divorce, or just being a student, trying to juggle college life and family time. It basically becomes an issue of priorities. Who's more important in your life? Who deserves your time the most? �'Harry Pqtter' review BY JASON SAUMUR Pride Staff Writer normal year at Hogwarts.

Under the direction of Mike Newell, with the screenplay by Steven Kloves, the cast of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" plays a masterfully funny, dark, and heroic performance. Ron, Hermione, and Harry exchange their organic wit throughout the movie, both in the context of a friendship crisis, and when Ron is in danger. Harry shows genuine courage when he saves both his friend Ron and another captive loved one from the depths of the Black Lake, and he shares the Tri-Wizard's Cup with Cedric. The movie doesn't end with the death of either Harry Potter or Voldemort but with the love bond Images courtesy of Warner Bros. Entertainment that Harry's mother showed when she was killed many years prior. Selfless sacrifice is what Lilly Potter and Harry exhibit, Lilly on the night of her tragic death, and Harry at least once a year at Hogwarts. The ultimate message, in both the book and the movie, resonates with moviegoers and readers alike. It is the belief that the common and ordinary man can overcome obstacles with courage and selfless sacrifice. It is because of this underlying idea — the peril, kindness and wit — that both cast and story portray, that makes this movie the best of the lot so far.

In the same month, the year's best family oriented comedies, as well as films that would become front runners for the Academy Awards and other film recognitions, are released. But what's coming out in the following weeks? In the science fiction/fantasy corner, we have "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." Based on the novel by C.S. Lewis, four siblings enter a door that travels them to a fantasy world filled with elves, dwarfs and giants. "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" graces theaters on Dec. 9. Let's move on to the action genre. "King Kong," need I say more? Master storyteller Peter Jackson expands his vision and CGI technology in this highly anticipated remake. A filmmaker (Jack Black), his leading lady (Naomi Watts), and a group of explorers travel to a remote island where a mythological monster lives. "King Kong" invades theaters on Dec. 14. If independent films are more of your taste, go see "Brokeback Mountain," starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger. Directed by Ang Lee, same director as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," and ''Brokeback Mountain" is about two cowboys that fall in love, but deal with the consequences of having a homosexual relationship. We've recently seen more independent films being recognized, this would be no exception. If you're into comedies, "Fun with Dick and Jane" has great potential. Starring Jim Carrey and Tèa Leoni in a 1977 remake, where as a married couple, commit robberies to pay the bills. "Fun with Dick and Jane" hits theaters on Dec. 21. For the drama and romance crowd, "Memoirs of a Geisha" is the obvious choice. Geishas are females trained at a young age to dance, act and sing to entertain wealthy men. Ziyi Zhang plays the geisha where she falls in love with a powerful and wealthy man (Ken Watanabe). I predict Oscar nominations for Zhang and Watanabe. Already released, "Memoirs of a Geisha" expands into a wider release on Dec. 23. For the straight forward drama fans, Steven Spielberg's "Munich" looks promising. Based on the 1972 Munich Olympics, where 11 Israeli athletes where killed, authorities are assigned to find the suspected 11 Palestinians involved. "Munich" stars Eric Bana and cruises into theaters Dec. 23. If a battle epic as well as drama is your cup óf tea, check out "The New World." Directed by Terrencfc Malick, "The New World" is about the explorer John Smith (Colin Farrell), who travels to America and encounters Native Americans where differences erupt into warfare. Hopefully, Farrell will shed away his "Alexander" debacle. "The New World" explodes into theaters on Christmas day. My recommendations are based on the film trailers I've viewed, interviews by the filmmakers, the filmmakers past reputations, promotional materials, and aspects of the films (special effects, storyline, etc.) that make them stand out. To see the trailers and view other media, visit each film's respective website.

What better time to take a little trip when the stresses of finals are over and the holidays are just around the corner? It doesn't have to be a long extended vacation; it can be a quick weekend jaunt to leave you feeling refreshed and ready for the holiday season. Traveling doesn't have to be stressful; there are plenty of getaways that are fabulous, but are close to home so airport chaos can be easily avoided. Here are four great suggestions that are close to home to inspire you get up and get going. Idyllwild: For those looking to heat things up when the weather gets cold, places like Quiet Creek Inn might just do the trick. Keep in mind, this is for adults only, rather it's for loving couples that need a little isolation or for relaxing with best friends. These cozy cabins are located on Strawberry Greek and have no televisions or telephones so there are no interruptions. All cabins have wood burningfireplacesto snuggle up next to. Sit and enjoy the sounds of the creek and the smell of pine trees on your very own private deck, or upgrade to the deluxe suit and sit on the deck in the hot tube. If you want to venture in town there are plenty of shops and restaurants to check out, there is even a pottery painting shop so you can make your own souvenir. Otherwise, you can do nothing but sit by the fireplace, drink hot coco, or maybe ^^ enjoy a nature walk on one the many trails through the woods and come back to your cabin to dip your toes inthejacuzzi. Del Coronado Island: If you're looking for something the whole family can enjoy, as well as love birds, Hotel Del Coronado has some f un holiday activities for all ages. The hotel is full of holiday cheer with its 50,000 twinkle lights, the new outdoor ice skating rink that over looks the ocean, a sleigh ride and of course s'more roasting. Just because you brought the children doesn't mean you can't have some alone time. Call the hotel babysitting service and have a romantic dinner with a night stroll along the beach. Don't worry; the kids won't be bored with the room's 26 television channels and a Nintendo Game Cube. Temecula: Once again adults only, but what better way to ring in the holiday season than a weekend trip to one of Temecula Valley's many wineries? The South Coast Winery Resort and Spa is a great place to spend the weekend. Forget about all the holiday stress with a day of wine tasting, once a little tipsy walk back to your villa for a little rest and romance. Each villa is separated from the other villas, so there's plenty of privacy; each has a fireplace and jacuzzi tub. If your ing or skiing down one of many trails. feeling up to it, try out their spa and get a Golden Bear Cabins are only minutes relaxing massage or swim in their heated away from Snow Summit, and they welcome the whole family, even pets. There's pool, which plays underwater music. Big Bear: There are many resorts in Big a playground, basketball and volleyball Bear and plenty of activities for the whole courts, wireless internet, television with a family. For the adventurous types, Snow DVD player and video rentals so the family Summit Mountain Resort is a great place can cuddle up in the comfort of their cabin to get your energy out while snow board- after a long day of activities.

California State University San Marcos, San Marcos, California | Tuesday, December 6, 2011~ Volume XXXVIII Issue 7 CSUSM promotes civility on campus Civility Campaign hopes to reform the university's sense of community Kyle M. Johnson Pride Staff Writer At the start of this semester, the Civility Campaign was organized and founded on the CSUSM campus. The campaign, led by the Dean of Students Office, promotes the essence of community and the Values needed to reach a strengthened sense of community. This idealistic community is said to be reached through the practice of a set of values and respect. 'The university strives to be a community demonstrating respect for oneself and for others, treatment of others with dignity, and behaviors which promote a physically and psychologically safe, secure and supportive climate enabling | ^ all community members to engage as full and active ] participants where the free flow of ideas are encouraged and affirmed/' the Civility Campaign page on the CSUSM website states. The campaign's committee consists of roughly 15 members comprised of CSUSM faculty, staff and students. The committee lives by a pledge which states, "As a member of the CSUSM community I will conduct myself with care, respect, and empathy awarded to the winners of an opportunity drawing. On the Civility webpage, students are also encouraged to nominate any CSUSM faculty, staff while acknowledging the culture and humanity of others." During U-Hour on the first Tuesday of every month, the Civility Campaign hosts a tshirt day in which free shirts are and students who display civility on campus.

Another form of the Christmas celebration exists in the Catholic tradition. While many Christmas celebrations pay tribute to the birth of Jesus, Catholic celebrations express a form of preparation for the second coming of the Lord. According to the Catholic Education Resource Center, "The Catholic Church has designated the four weeks preceding Christmas as Advent, a time to 'prepare the way of the Lord.'" The Catholic Education Resource Center also lists in great detail many activities of Advent. Each activity including the Advent wreath, the blessing of the tree and the Christ and Mary candles act as a symbol of the faith of the Catholic Church. Hanukkah is a Jew- ish holiday that is celebrated for Kwanzaa, a cultural holiday eight days and nights. established in 1966 by "[Hanukkah] starts on the 25 Dr. Maulana Karenga of of the Jewish month of Kislev, CSU Long Beach, takes which coincides with late place from Dec. 26 - Jan.

Fox also suggests that the celebrator identify his or her indi*vid- ual purpose for celebrating, whether that may be to strengthen family bonding with one another, adjust family to Nature's cycles or to just have fun, as well as many other reasons Fox lists. These different celebrations that take place during this holiday season display diversity in culture that presently exists in American lifestyle. Artificial vs. live Christmas trees What do you prefer? 4 Jessie Gambrell Pride Staff Writer IMB d? A p\ VI tc in Do you prefer the Christmas tree smell and excitement of picking a live tree each year or the consistency and convenience of an artificial Christmas tree? People have different opinions on the matter because it's related to family traditions. "Its easier to have a fake tree. I grew up with a real tree til [sic] my parents got lazy," student Adam Dettelbach said. According to Art Espinoza, "The Christmas Tree Guy," at Home Depot in Oceanside, artificial trees are fairly easy to assemble, last longer than live Christ- mas trees and are energy efficient. Though there are many pros to artificial trees, some people still prefer real ones. "I like real Christmas trees, if they stay alive. I mean sure fake Christmas trees will save you in the long run, but they take up so much space in storage and you have to assemble them," student Chandra Charette said. Artificial Christmas trees do not have the beloved pine smell and tend to be pricey. It's also a hassle to assemble and disassemble the artificial tree each year, let alonefinda place to store it. Still, people have their own traditions when it comes to Christmas trees. According to tree farmer Bill Warren of Mission Pines Christmas Trees in Fallbrook: live Christmas trees are fresh, have that wonderful "Christmas" smell and you get the pleasure of going out and picking your own Christmas tree. There are a few cons in buying a live tree. Since it is a tree, it's flammable, doesn't live long and makes a mess with pine needles. No matter how you feel on whether on the matter, it's up to you. "Christmas is not Christmas without the real Christmas tree," student Tara De Gaetano said. Professor Spotlight Jennifer Lynch Classes: G eneral E ducation O ral C ommunication (GEO).

The Ocean House is a beautiful Victorian era building that has been around for 120 years. It lies in the heart of downtown Carlsbad and is very close to the beach. The Ocean House prides itself on their Sunday champagne brunch served, from 9:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. which is hosted in a spacious dance room with large wooden floors. For students on a budget, head over to their bar room Monday - Friday, between 3 - 6 p.m. to take advantage of the happy hour while enjoying the antique setting. The happy hour includes $2 off mixed cocktails, draft beers and house wines. The beer list supports local breweries with beers such as Ballast Point Black Marlin Porter, Stone Pale Ale, Coronado Orange Ave Wit, Green Flash 30th Street Pale Ale and Port Brewing Wipeout IPA. To fill up on snacks Ocean House provides cheap eats including $4 nachos, cheese fries, quesadillas or potato skins and $5 artichoke spinach dip and chicken strips. The Ocean House also runs discounted domestic beer for $3 and $5 burger and fries during all football games. What is most enticing about the Ocean House is the historic setting that mixes modern attractions like banquets, weddings and salsa dancing on Sundays with rustic and antique architecture and design. The Palm Room, in the front, has a history that dates back to 1922 and is a nice lounge with large windows overlooking the main walkway of downtown Carlsbad. The Ocean House is open Monday - Wednesday 11 a.m. - midnight, Thursday - Saturday 1 1 - 2 a.m. and Sunday 9:30 - 2 a m. It is located on 300 Carlsbad Village Drive in Carlsbad.

Every year since 1890, Pasadena (located in the Los Angeles County, 2 hours away from San Marcos) housed traditional floats made entirely out of flowers as well as the "Rose Bowl" game, which consists of the top colle- giate college teams in the U.S. Marching bands, floats and people come from all over the country to partake in this historic event, camping out days ahead of time in Old Town Pasadena, with tents and blankets along the parade trail throughout the streets of the historic city. Guests for the Rose Parade include the mayor of Pasadena and the Grand Marshallr as well as the Rose Princesses and Queen, high school students who have been chosen from a cohort of 12th grade females, who have auditioned to represent the Tournament of Roses as Pasadena's queen. * Beginning bright and early on Jan. 2 at 8 a jn., the 123rd Rose Parade will make its journey throughout Pasadena to present the work of thousands who devote the entire year to the debut of their floats. The Rose Parade is a great way to celebrate the arrival of the New Year by joining those who travel from all over the country to welcome another year of life. However, if you already have plans in celebrating the New Year elsewhere, you can always watch the televised version of the Parade on any network channel, all day long Jan. 2.

No, I won't be finished with finals. No, I won't be going on a tropical vacation. Actually, I'm going to the Ellen DeGeneres Show for her Twelve Days of Giveaways. So far, it's looking way better than a trip to Hawaii. If you think you just show up at Warner Brothers Studios in Burbank on the day of the show's taping, you would be wrong. Attending the Ellen show is a process which must be followed to the letter. Those who attend the Twelve Days of Giveaways must be invited by Ellen herself, a treat I received back in April of 2011. My mom—a die-hard Ellen fan—scored tickets to a taping of the Ellen show on April 20 and, of course, invited yours truly. Fortunately, the guest packet mailed prior to the show outlines the dos and don'ts of an Ellen audience member. If you're late, you're out. If you're without ID, you're out. If you're a convicted criminal, you're out (seriously— the Ellen show conducts preshow background checks on its audienôe). Once you find yourself on the Ellen soiundstage, chances are, y ou'll there to stay. Before you go into the studio, you have to walk through what Ellen c au^ne "riff raff' room. This is where the stand-by people who show up the day of the show go if there were no cancellations or open seats in the audience. It is actually Ellen's very beautiful and well appointed gift shop, outfitted with memorabilia and several large HD TVs for remote viewing of the live show. •. The riff raff room leads the audience into the set as you see on TV. If you wear bright colors, you're more likely to get a seat toward the front of the stage as per the direction of thé audience managers. Also, I sure did see a lot of blondes in the front row. Not that I'm insinuating the Ellen show likes blondes better than brunettes or anything. Anyway, once you're seated, fun, hilarious people warm-up the audience pre-show and get you dancing—a lot. I'm talking outof-breath, sweaty, spastic, spontaneous dancing for a half hour before the show even begins. ' " T he^Ellen finally emerges. The crowd screams and cheers with what energy they have remaining as Ellen dances up and down the aisles. Before we knew it, the audience receives a $100 gift card to Rite Aid (score!). Then we got to see Reese Witherspoon talk about her movie "Water for Elephants," Paul Walker discuss something related to his career (all I recall is getting an advanced screening of a cologne commercial he was starring in) and a young Justin Bieber wanna be called Jackson Guthy perform a song that is still stuck in my head: L-O-V-I-N-G.

The tease seemed endless. Suddenly, she announced that each audience member was getting a guaranteed ticket to one of her Twelve Days of Giveaways shows in December. The audience exploded with applause, and my family and I talked about what would happen at that December taping for months on end. As an experienced Ellen show attendee, I'd like to offer a few tips to consider during your preshow preparation if you are the next lucky winner of Ellen tickets. First, don't wear dark colors. If you must, wear a black sweater and perhaps a bright scarf with it. Second, practice your dance moves, and don't be tempted to use all your energy during the audience warm-up. Keep your movements controlled. Railing around on TV does not translate well. You may think you are dancing "cute," but big, unchoreographed moves, can look alarmingly like a seizure. I would like for Christmas: I draw almost everyday, managing with the pens and pencils that I also use for school. I don't need an entire kit, but a few pens for outlining and reliable colored pencils will do. * -Rebekah Green m Every holiday season I look forward for a lot of traditions with my family When most homes open . \ presents the day of Christmas, my family and I open ours Christmas Eve.

Johnson Pride Staff Writer In the common Christmas-eelebrating household, the traditions of reciting "The Night Before Christmas" or reading Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" often take place. Rarely, and sadly, does one hear about a tradition of reading Truman Capote's heartwarming short story "A Christmas Memory." Set in Alabama in the 1930s and inspired by his childhood, Capote tells the story of a Christmas he shared with his friend, Miss Sook, an aging woman in her sixties. Capote's portrayal of his seven year-old self called Buddy is sweet, but the real charm is in his relationship with Miss Sook, whom he refers to as "my friend." Despite her age, Miss Sook is very much a child herself. Together, they touch the lives of those around them, including a Mr. Haha Jones (ironically nicknamed this because of his serious disposition). The reader cannot help but feel touched, as well. In the Modern Library edition of "A Christmas Memory," you will also find the short stories "One Christmas" and "The Thanksgiving Visitor" which also feature Capote's Buddy and Miss Sook. "One Christmas" tells of a trip Buddy takes to stay with his father in New Orleans for the holiday and "The Thanksgiving Visitor" tells of Buddy's school bully nemesis being invited to Thanksgiving dinner. While his stories possess a I nerdiest gifts for the holidays child-like charm, Capote counters this with a very dark and personal tone which lies below the surface of the text. In a tragic life and upbringing specifically, we can be grateful that Capote had someone like Miss Sook to impart her love and wisdom upon him, a gift that will surely resonate with the reader.

You can't start the holiday season off without listening to "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" by the amazing Gayla Peevey. This song is both catchy and cute and was the primary reason I asked for a hippopotamusior Christinas every year. Chris Giancamilli "^^HHj^Hp* Pride Staff Writer ^^^ O ne of the toughest parts of the holiday season is finding just the right gift for that s pecial'someone in our lives. Sometimes, the best gift is the o ne that is absolutely i mpractical a nd serves no real purpose other t han to b ecome a new addition in a nerdy collection of toys a nd g adgets. There a re a few e asy things to k eep in mind w hen c hoosing a g ood g eek gift. First off, g eeks love gifts from their favorite licensed v ideo g ame, TV, film a nd c omic series. Next, g eeks enjoy t echnical toys (robots, mechanisms, e tc.). Finally, g eeks like weird things that you c an't find a t a ny old d epartment store. This holiday season, p ick up something a bit more u nconventional rather than the standard v ideo g ame or D VD b ox set. Here's a few examples to help g et those motors running. One of the best parts of Christmas decorations is realizing you are standingrightunder mistletoe with someone you care about. This brings me to the next song, "Mistletoe" by Justin Bieber. Not only is his voice sweet, but so is his heart. All proceeds from his Christmas album, "Under the Mistletoe11 wenfto charity. Speaking of sweet voices, Michael Bubie's version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" from his new holiday album, "Christmas," is a must listen to. His jazz style and velvet voice will make you want to cuddle near afireplacewith your special "someone." Speaking of cuddling, Glee's version of "Baby, it's Cold Outside," a duet between characters Blaine and Kurt is a romantic song that musically captivates us to continue listening as we anticipate the character's future relationship. Another traditional song remake from Glee's second volume Christmas album is "Little Drummer Boy" sung by Artie? a character with a rough, but angelic voice for this year's 1 : C h r i s t m a s episode. One of my favorite Christmas songs is "Believe" by Josh Groban from: "The Polar Express" soundtrack. Groban's amazing voice beautifully captures the Christmas spirit as he reminds uS to believe in the magic that surrounds us every day. v: In conclusion to this holiday playlist is none other than "Santa, Baby" originally recorded by Eartha Kitt, a provocative holidayJaVorite. m il Marshmo llow Shooters ($19.86-$29.99, ThinkGeek.com & Amazon.com) | * Iwk V For the g eek that has everything, marshS j f c j mallow shooters c an b e a q uick a nd c heap W f p gift that p acks plenty of entertainment.

"We want to provide an educational opportunity for people to think critically about whiteness and white identity in the U.S. context. In most discussions of race and racism, the notion of whiteness is noticeably absent. We believe that if we as a society are to eliminate racism and achieve social justice, then whites must j oin the conversation on race. This forum is designed to spark ideas about how one might do so," said Moon. "I haven't noticed the reading room," said Ryan Russell, a sophomore who often studies in the library. Adjacent to the Reading Room is a large outdoor balcony which is also currently o£f-limits. When asked if the balcony next to the Reading Room would be open for students, Stakes said, "I doubt that the balcony will be open during the day, it would probably be open during special events in the room." The balcony will also be furnished with donations. In addition to the balcony on the fifth floor there is a balcony on the second floor next to the open computer lab. Students are prevented from going out into that balcony by a sign that says "No Public Access." When asked, some students voiced concerns about not being able to use the balconies. "It's better to be outside," Quiroz said. "Students should be able to use the balconies. It'd be kinda cool to look out over stuff," said Russell. Stakes stated that the balcony will not be opened to students "Due to security concerns and risk management issues there are no plans to open the second floor balcony to the public at this time. Smoking on the balcony would be prohibited anyway under CSU regulations," replied Stakes when asked why students are not permitted to use the balcony to get fresh air or to smoke. CSU regulations state that smoking is not permitted within 15 feet of any building. The security reasons cited pertain to book theft and other similar concerns. There are also three instructional labs in the library which are unavailable for general use by students. Like the other instructional computing labs on campus, Tuesday, December 7 2004 1 Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride The balcony (above) and Reading Room (left) on the library fifth floor. these labs are to be used by instructors for classroom teaching and library research instruction. They can be reserved for use by instructors. "The labs are used for both instruction of students in how to use the library, and Photo by Daniel Lowe / The Pride for conducting workshops for library faculty and staff. In the f uture they could be used for other university training," said Stakes. More information about the library can be found at http://library.csusm.edu/ about/.

Information was presented about current projects the university police are implementing including Rape Aggression Defense (RAD), Automated Regional Justice Information System (ARJIS), Homeland Security Projects, the Emergency Operations Center and the California State University Critical Response Unit. The presentation included the departments many policies and procedures for filing a compliant against an officer and requesting information on certain events and citations. Facts about the four types of crime, crime prevention, safety and emergency tips were also given. Data about campus police reports and the number of arrests made by campus Assistant Chief of Police Aaron Woodard police was displayed. These statistics showed that the number of police reports had nearly tripled since 1999. In 1999 there were 157 police reports filed and this number jumped to 467 in the current incomplete year o f2004. A fter the presentation sociology Professor Edwardo Portillos moderated a question and answer session where the main issue raised was racial profiling. Many in the audience, which included students and faculty, expressed their concern about the subject, due to recent events. "When I approach the driver I j ust pulled over for a traffic violation, my concern is my safety and my officer's safety, because you don't know who the person is, if they're stable or not and/or what they have in their car. I had a partner who pulled over a driver at two in the morning and he got shot," said Woodard. "I absolutely do not tolerate racial profiling. I discourage the practice among my staff," said Schultheis. "Once an arrest has been made, what is the university's role in deciding to charge a crime?" asked Professor Anne Lombard. "It's the police officer at the scene's decision whether to charge the case as a felony if it can be proved. However the DA can then decide whether to drop the felony to a misdemeanor," responded Schultheis. A fter the forum had concluded, Lombard said she felt surprised that university officials would not become more actively involved after the arrest of a residential student in deciding whether to charge him/her with a felony. "If I were a parent of a child at a residential college, I would probably expect a dean or some comparable person, other than an inexperienced campus security officer, to PC SD PSYCHIATRIC CENTERS AT SAN DIEGO Depressed?

On Thursday December, 2 at 3 p.m. the second forum was held at the Clarke Field House in the Grand Salon. The same three members of the CSUSM Police Force attended the forum. Schultheis said the primary goal of the forums was to produce "awareness of who we are and what we do." A fter the introduction of the officers, Chief Schultheis led an approximately 25 minute PowerPoint presentation discussing the CSUSM Campus Police which closely followed the presentation given at the previous forum. In this presentation he supplied information regarding the perimeter of the department's jurisdiction, the demographics of the CSUSM Campus Police Force and the training that police officers must undergo to obtain position on the CSUSM Campus Police Force. To end his presentation Schultheis displayed statistics about police reports and arrests f rom years 1999-2004. Woodard referred to the statistics as "skewed" due to the fact that the statistics also displayed arrests and reports that had occurred outside of campus. A fter the presentation another question and answer forum was mediated by Professor Portillos. The discussion was opened up by Fil Knoff, President and CEO of a San Diego marketing company. Mr. Knoff and his wife reside two blocks from CSUSM, on Rush Drive. The couple told the story of how their mid-30's, lawyer son was pulled over by Campus police on Twin Oaks Valley Road. They said the officer's reason for the stop was the placement of Mr. K noffs son's temporary registration permit on his vehicle. They said the officer who made the stop proceeded to take Mr. K noffs son's wallet, questioned him, patted him down, and made him take a sobriety test. The pair claimed that Mr. Knoff ended up coming down to the scene before the officer released their son, but without returning his wallet. Mr. and Mrs. Knoff were thanked for coming forward and then invited to file a formal complaint. Several students and other San Marcos residents came forward to express similar instances they felt constituted a pattern of police harassment. One San Marcos resident told a story of how he was arrested and his car was impounded for an expired registration. "Give me a call and I'd like to look into it," responded Schultheis. Sociology Professor Sharon Elise and a female dorm resident expressed their concern for the scrutiny that dorm residents were feeling from Campus Police. Elise also expressed concern over citations given to drivers at the crosswalks of CSUSM. These concerns were responded to with what appeared to be the popular response for the session, "we'll look into it." Once again audience members voiced concerns about racial profiling. Assistant Chief of Police Aaron Woodard expressed his interest in this question and passionately assured the audience that he himself, an African-American, would not allow racial profiling on his police force. " I've been black a lot longer then I have been blue and I am sensitive to discrimination issues," said Woodard. The event concluded by all three officers expressing interest in having annual police forums in the f uture, and encouraging the community to participate in upcoming forums.

Closed Shops online: www.csusmbookstore.com �VARIETY THE PRIDE Make your own T-shirt STORY AND PHOTOS BY DANIEL LOWE Pride Staff Writer Make your own Vintage T-shirt Retro is cool. Vintage T-shirts are in. Statement tees are all over the place. They indicate a rich personal history and a spirit of authenticity. But really, how authentic are they? How many of you are wearing that "Beaver Lake Lacrosse" T-shirt, but have never played lacrosse and never even heard of Beaver Lake? How many of you have seen that "Relish Today, Ketchup Tomorrow" T-shirt and thought you could make up something funnier? Rather than pay $15-$25 for a T-shirt that you could probably make yourself, try and go for it. Make it yourself. With an ink jet printer, a plain T-shirt and a sheet of T-shirt transfer paper, you can make your own vintage looking T-shirt for a lot less than the ones found in stores. Whe£ someone asks you, "Where did you get that T-shirt," you can tell him or her, "I made it myself." Here's how to do it. Materials: The first thing you need to do is get the right materials. Locate an ink jet printer. If you don't own one yourself, ask a friend to borrow theirs. Next you'll need a Tshirt. Depending on what style you like, you can get them in a number of places. Ringer tees look the best for vintage Tshirts but plain T-shirts can look good also. Footloqjcer sells 5 plain T-shirts for $20. Go to Staples or any office supply store in the paper section for T-shirt heat transfer paper. If you want to print on a light colored T-shirt, you can purchase the normal paper. They usually sell for approximately a dollar a sheet. If you are printing on a dark colored fabric, you will need to buy the opaque transfer paper. Dark fabric transfer sheets cost more, but you'll need them if you're making a dark colored T-shirt. T-shirt Design: Now that you have your materials, you will need to make your T-shirt design. Use any standard graphics program on your computer. If you don't have one, even Paint that comes with Windows XP will work. Locate a retro looking font on your computer. If you don't have one, there are plenty of free font sites on the Internet. You'll also need some sort of graphic. If you can't draw your own, there are also retro clip art sites on the Internet where you can find a good graphic. Use only one or two colors for your t-shirt. Make them match your T-shirt. Dark red on a pink Tshirt looks good. Put your Design on the T-shirt: Now that you have a design, you need to print it out. Be sure to set your printer on reverse or "mirror" image. Print a test on a normal sheet of paper before you print out your design on the transfer paper. Cut out your design carefully. Follow the instructions that came with the heat transfer sheets. A few tips: 1) Iron over the design with as much downward pressure as possible. 2) Go over the design multiple times. 3) Use a flat table; do not use an ironing board. Try your T-shirt on! If the first T-shirt didn't turn out as well as you would like, try again. You can make custom T-shirts for as little as $5 a T-shirt if you're good at it. Next time you see a T-shirt that says "South Dakota: Where my dawgs at," feel good that you're wearing a T-shirt that truly reflects your own individual style. �VARIETY THE PRIDE Tuesday; December 7 2004 Gift-giving guidance 2 H * compatable Waterproof mp3 player case BY RYAN JAMES Pride Staff Writer •M j WÈÊÊÈÊÈÉÈËÈËÈÊÊÊÊË mmmm^g • IH M Photos courtesy of ScotteVest Batteries not included Solar powered jacket BY CHRIS KING Pride Staff Writer It's time to break the glass that surrounds that lit up red button that reads "Christmas shopping mode". Creativity and originality are traits that people tend to hone in on during the rigorous shopping season. Some gifts succeed and others get that "maybe you'll get it right next year" grin on Christmas Day. For some, avoiding that response could push prudence right out the door. If you're willing to drop about $500 this season on a friend or family member who is a gadget junky, look no further than the SCOTTeVEST 3.0. The 30-pocket solar power jacket is the first of its kind and it can house and power just about any gadget as long as it's Universal Serial Bus (USB) compatible—on the market including PDA's, MP3 players, Game Boys, cell phones and many other devices. Removable Solar panels on the back of the jacket convert sun light into energy which in turn allows a small central battery about the size of a deck of cards to power your gadgets. Direct sunlight is not required as the battery is fully charged within two to three hours. The pockets are arranged so that you may run headphones and headsets without exposing any wires. Pockets can be found all over the torso, shoulders and arms. It even has storage for bottles and hats. From wet to extremely dry, the SCOTTeVEST 3.0 can function in all weather conditions. Externally, it consists of a lightweight, water-proof and breathable material. Internally, there is mesh lining for cooling and an avail- able 12 pocket fleece vest for sustaining warmth. It comes in red, black and stealth and is available in virtually any size. SCOTTeVEST 3.0 can be purchased at scottevest.com or retailers such as Sports Authority, Mobile Planet, Spy Museum and Neiman Marcus. Alright, so you're searching for the ultimate Christmas gift. What are you going to buy your friend, boyfriend, girlfriend, or relative that'll make their holiday that much brighter? Well I have the answer; h2o Audio has produced water proof housing for both iPods and iPod minis. The water proof housing for the iPod and the iPod minis go under the titles of Sv-iPod, and Sv-imini. On ipodlounge.com they describe the Svimini as being "the first fully waterproof and submersible housing for Apple's iPod mini." If you're a surfer or a swimmer, you could not ask for a better Christmas gift then an iPod accompanied by a SviPod, or an iPod mini accompanied by the Sv-imini. Imagine sitting out in the ocean, waiting for a good wave, and listening to your favorite band, or how about swimming laps and rocking out while doing so, I really don't it think life could get much better. There Photos courtesy of is a catch though, Anders Steele the Sv-iPod is back ordered until March 14, 2005, but the Sv-imini is available now. Both the Sv-imini and the Sv-ipod run for the price of $149.95. Both products come with waterproof MP3 player housing, a waterproof headset and silicon earplug, secure latching and the products allow easy access to control the MP3's functions and are submersible up to 10ft/3m. So if you pretty much want to buy someone the best g ift ever the answers is Sv-iPod and the Sv-imini, trust me it'll be worth the wait.

This is my last column f or the semester and it could p ossibly be my last column with " The Pride". It hasn't been very easy to pump out a sports column every week since sports isn't the biggest of concerns on this campus. Since many here don't know the difference between a first down and a touchdown I have tried to throw in a lot of variety into my columns. I related sports to real life problems such as people trying to b e something they aren't; I tried to be somewhat comedic when I wondered which athlete would make a good President; I shared a very personal story when I wrote about Ken Caminiti; I even wrote entertainment reviews when I saw "Friday Night Lights" and read "The Last Season". One thing I have tried t o stay away from is just completely focusing on sports because a lot of elements in sports can easily b e related to real life. This semester has b een very different f rom the previous semester. I have b een criticized by our Ombudsman because Jason feels that I don't write enough about sports, " ...are we ever going to read about sports... I t urn to the sports page t o get your spin on things that are actually happening in sports." came f rom his column on October 1 2,2004. Basically my response to that was if you want t o get my "spin on things that are actually happening in sports" then go open up the "San Diego Union-Tribune" on a given day and read articles I write for them. In other words, I wanted t o make "Jock Talk" my own. Several weeks ago Jason learned the struggles of having a weekly column when he resorted to writing his column in limericks. He would later empathize with me the struggles of t rying t o appeal to our readership in a weekly column. So, if you t hink its easy filling a column each week for one semester, let alone two like I have, it certainly is not. I am glad to hear that Jason is coming back next semester because I t hink the feathers that he has r uffled need to b e r uffled a little more. That leads me into t hanking a few people who have helped improve "Jock Talk". Many times this semester I reached a point where I had n o topic in mind. T hankfully Scott Phillips joined the staff and helped me come u p with topics such as the Del Mar Race Track, Fantasy Football, and if I thought the Chargers could keep on winning. Jason Encabo added a new element to "Jock Talk" this semester as he is the one that found a picture or created an illustration to accompany my i llfi! Photo courtesy of Josh Sandoval / ThePride words. Finally, Eric Mercado, the Features editor who edited my column did a great j ob not cutting my column, allowing me to say everything I wanted to say on a weekly basis. The reason for the uncertainty around my return next semester is that I don't plan on taking the class due to an already f ull schedule. I would like to continue my column even though I am not enrolled in the class, but th^t decision is entirely up to the jtwo returning editors-in chief who are unsure about how the paper will change. Now to appease Jason and the rest of you who read this for sports I better actually throw some sports into this column. This semester I can compare " The P ride" staff to the 1997-1998 Chicago Bulls. O ur Ombudsman Jason is kind of like Dennis Rodman as he is probably the most controversial writer. Elizabeth Baldwin and Michael Dolan are the Jerry Krause of " The Pride" because they r un the show around here as the editors-in-chief. Our advisor Jenifer Woodring is like Phil Jackson because she coaches us when it's needed. The writers who don't have a weekly column are kind of like Steve Kerr, Luc Longley, and all the other role players on that Bulls team. Just like the Bulls, The Pride would not b e a success without them. I don't know where I fit into that team. I would like to think I am Michael Jordan because MJ did what he had to do to win and no matter what I find a way to do what I have to do to get a weekly column out there. Also, MJ retired on two different occasions only to return and dominate and like M J I don't know if I will return. So, who knows if this column is Michael Jordan's final game as a Washington Wizard or if it's my shot over Bryon Russell in the NBA finals to send "Jock Talk" into a short break and then return next semester?

Kicking o ff the morning at 8:30 a.m., were the Cougar studs Jenni Johnson and Anne-Marie Byrne. On the muddy grass course these ladies showed amazing composure under tremendous pressure. Johnson ran 17:48 for the 5k (3.1mile) race placing her in fifth place, giving her AllAmerican honors while improving on her 8th place 18:06 performance f rom last year; giving Johnson the perfect ending to a senior season. Anne-Marie ran 18:41 for the 5k race placing her in 37th which improved tremendously on her 47th 18:55 performance f rom the year before. This was no easy task for a j unior who has made it her tradition to qualify to Nationals every year she has competed in college, which is a great accomplishment itself. A n hour later the men started their j ourney on the 8k (5mile) race that t urned into a muddy adventure for championship glory. Going in as underdogs since their ranking headed into the race was 17 out of 28 teams competing, the top 7 Cougar men toed the line not as individuals but as one unit, shall we say a family. Their pulses racing with excitement as the final seconds before the gun to fires seems to take minutes. Crack. With that single sound all the nerves disappear as business as usual begins for the Cougar men who make their way through the .competition of 252 other runners. A s the clock clicks over to read the time of 25:12 the first Cougar, Daniel Lyon, crosses the finish line in 12th place giving h im his first Ail-American honor only in his sophomore season of collegiate competition. Coming in 24th place Jesse A rmijo claims the last Ail-American honor of the day for the cougars finishing in a time of 25:30, giving this senior captain a moment that he shall cherish forever. Chris O 'Neal finished in an impressive 65th place in a time of 26:19 finishing out his senior year with a flash by out kicking the 66th and 67th r unner in the finishing chute by less than one second. Coming in next was the tremendous Cougar pack attack of Jace Getskow, Polo Mariscal, Phil H offman, and Tim Irwin. Jace finished in 138th place with a time of 27:07 giving this f reshman a f antastic season t o build on f or the next three years. Mariscal, only a junior, moved up great f rom the h alfway point of the race giving h im 162nd place with a time of 27:24. Phil H offman ran 27:35 giving h im a placing of 176th leaving this f reshman cougar hungrier for the next season to improve on his performance. Tim finished in 180th place with a time of 27:37 leaving this junior satisfied with his first trip to Cross-Country Nationals. The courageous performance by this Men's squad showed the nation that their 17th rank was f ar off by placing as a team 8th place in the nation. For such a young and inexperienced team the f uture looks bright for the years to come under the tutelage of Coach Steve Scott. �Tuesday, December 7 2004 THE PRIDE �OPINION T H E P RIDE By JASON NICHOLS P Ä Ombudsman I was going to do some sorta holiday theme, or 'the semester is over,' or 'finals are here/ or perhaps a 'stroll down memory lane' column. But, that sorta thing tends to be a Chinese water-torture of cliché that H i not submit you to. No need to make you wet while your areolas are stiff as boards from the cold. (Biology majors are the only ones that'll get that joke.) Better to think of this last little grey puppy as a season finale. Three weeks ago, I left this column with a cliffhanger. Would I receive 'Helios' and stay cm the jobfornext semester, or would I get a 'U-HauP and be told to take a hike? I know it's not up to par with an X-file biteyour-nails, can't wait for the next episode enticement, but it's not like I've got alien conspiracies to work with here. TRUST NO ONE! Sure 'nough, I got a stream of emails that all said 'Hello,' so I'm on the job. You com- plete me, and I'll be your Renee Zellweger. Just know, I'm not as cute and definitely can't shed the pounds like her. Either way, I was whip-id happy ya'll dig my tunes so I'm here to stay. (If you listen hard enough, you can just make out the cringes of the Pride s taff) I was so friggin' st(r)oked in fact, my head grew in size from your votes of approval and feeling empowered by the el/rection, I turned my 'aggressive criticism' on the Editors. You don't know what I mean cause that particular column, submitted for last week's issue, went the way of Mulder in the 8th season. Since I can't repeat the words in that column withoutfeeinganother 'editing decision,' I've emailed that article and correspondence on the matter to those readers that had sent me 'hellos.' If you'd like a copy, just tap my shoulder at nicho028@csusm.edu. Now, I hate to go on in this grey box about my little world, seems that's all most columns in this collection of tree-skins ever do. But, I'm running on faith here that you care enough 'bout this little grey box, to care what happened to it last week. After submitting my article, I had a fun-filled meeting with Elizabeth Baldwin and Michael Dolan, the Editors-in-chief, and they informed me in no-uncertain terms (my gluteus maximus is now a gluteus minimus) that theyfeltmy article 'grossly misrepresented' the Editorial staff. As such, they decided my 'opinion' was misleading and that I was not acting in the best interests of the readers. In fact, I was told that particular portions of my criticism of the editorial staff "has nothing to do with the J e£ders* / . f\ \ ; Obviously, I disagreed. I don't doubt they believed they were being loyal to the readers, or doing what was iii the best interests of the Pride. The funny thing was, that's exactly how I felt. I was given the option to "revise" my column or have it axed. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm suggesting I had to comprimise my principles or anything. I mean, I was given an 'option.' Now, it's their right to decide not to publish my column, since it's their butts on the line if this paper is ever sued for libel. I'm still wondering how my 'opinion' would have led to a suit, but I thought it fair you know the pressure they're under. In the end, I 'chose' to have the column axed. I'd rather not print, than print what others feel I should. What some might refer to as "bureaucratic manipulation?" Perhaps, in a hand-written issue of the Pride some time back? In advance of the question, "how does this relate to you the reader?" I'm gonna throw out the "C" word that rhymes with zensorship. As the Ombudsman, the lamest title I've had since Seaman (man-juice) and Petty (small) Officer, my job has been more than just getting you to giggle. Though, I'm tickled I make you laugh (with me, not at me!) I'm the reader's advocate, or so I'm told. The person that holds the newspaper to a standard of journalism that has wild notions of trust and integrity, as well as pertinence and quality You'd think some autonomy goes along with that notion. How else to trust that the Ombudsman isn't just taking the side of the newspaper? Perhaps, I was just being the miscreant that I've always tended to be when I conceived of a crazy little notion to 'aggressively criticize' those in charge of the Pride, after readers submitted the following throughout this semester: "I realize that I am not the only person that thinks some of the articles are asinine in their content." "you [the Ombudsman} are not afraid to call it [the Pride] what it is.. .crap." -Morgan McCorkle, email to Ombudsman. "ASI should reconsider student fund support for a newspaper that has major problems with its headlines." -Bob Dickey, editorial letter. (ASI doesn't fund the Pride by the way) "Students deserve better from the Editors of the Pride" -Jonathan Poullard, email to Ombudsman. "I strongly urge you [the Pride] to research your facts before printing them [articles]. Beyond misleading students it makes the Pride look unreliable." -Bryan I Watkins, editorial letter. "For the last weeks it seems that all you [the Pride] write about is Michael Moore. I want to know who makes the decision on what to write." -Carmelino Cruz, editorial letter, "Why is it that our school is like Saved by the Bell? What I mean is that it is the same 10 cast our [sic] members 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." -West^ Rogers, editorial letter. "Not even one article in the Pride was devoted to the Veteran's Day ceremony. What was the Pride afraid of?" -Nathan Loomis, editorial letter. Damn, and I was trying to avoid a stroll down memory lane. Well, finals are here. The semester is pretty much over. Have good times on your Holidays. (Drip. Drip. Drip.) The End. .. .Or is it?

Fortunately for seniors, they are privileged with priority registration above the other classes; unfortunately for sophomores, because there is a first in line, there must also be a last in line. Some freshmen are preparing for this transition simply by dragging out their freshman status. By taking four classes instead offivein the spring of 2005, they are guaran- teed registration before many of their peers, at least for fall 2005. According to the CSUSM website, the projected enrollment at our campus is 11,000 students in the fall of 2012. In case you're wondering, no, I don't plan to be an eighth year senior, but if the faculty does not start making some adjustments to accommodate the annual increase of enrollment, registering for classes will become more and more of a headache. �12 Tuesday. December Dear Editor, Congratulations are in order to those of us to graduate this fall even if our own university is incapable of doing so properly. The Fall Grad Reception held November 30th at the Escondido Center for the Performing Arts was more like a Christmas party than a celebration for fall graduates. Five speakers were slotted to take the stage, one of which was our very own ASI president and non-graduate, Manal O PÏNTON 7 2004 Yamout. Manal not only failed Grad Reception was a secret, at her attempt to give the gradu- only mentioned to a select few ates some parting advice, but she - and the graduates of course. did so by prefacing her speech Most professors I've spoken to with an admission; she had no failed to receive any information idea what the graduates were about the reception.

Furthermore, FYI: it was boredom with a touch how many graduates would have of distain. After the diminutive wanted their professors present at speeches, all that was left for the what might be their only graduagraduates to do was mingle with tion event? Apparently that's just fellow graduates, family, friends, another thing the administration and faculty. Wait; make that just overlooked. In the end, even if fellow graduates, family, and you could look past the lacklusfriends. It appears that the Fall ter PowerPoint presentation that Students, Bush won, Bush won...

Here is a Preview of coming attractions: war, tax cuts, inflation, declining value of the US dollar, rising tuition, rising gas prices, rising constitutional amendments, systematic elimination of our civil liberties and continued oppression on groups like the LGBT and Feminist community. But, at least we will be "safe." Is that all you Americans care about is safety? You have been scammed in to thinking that the terrorists are every where and they can decimate this country. This is America. We are the most powerful country in the world. We will not be killed by a few terrorists. You all seem to buy in to this fear. Don't you know that more than 15 times more people die from car accidents than terrorism every year? [Assuming we lost 3000 people every year] Do you realize we lose 60 times more people a year from smoking deaths?

Happy Hour every M~F from 4-7pm Free WIFI THE PRIDE scrolled through the names of the graduates and the horribly tacky centerpieces you still would not be capable of finding an inspiring moment during the whole 45 minute reception. That might be because the only real celebration our university has to offer graduates occurs in the spring. So, for those who finish in the fall, we are asked to keep May 15th open. Our administration requests that we simply look at the spring semester as a break and return in May to receive the congratulations we rightfully deserve. I might consider it after they apologize to all of the parents who attended the ronmental policies on air pollution make the air we breathe more dangerous than the suicidal terrorists themselves. Where is our War on Suicides, the War on Cancer, and the War on Alcoholism? Domestically these problems are a far grater than the threat of terrorism. Do you realize our current policy spends more money & time killing people rather than saving people? -1,200 Americans solders dead in Iraq; 15,000 Iraqi civilians dead. Wake up America! We need to question how we conduct our foreign policy. Although I agree we should keep an eye on terrorism, think about know how much we could achieve if we invested 200 billon or a fraction of that on safety for cars, smoking prevention, or on renewable energy. We would be saving a lot more live;s. These corporations are ripping off the government by overcharging for their services and the money is coming right out of your pocket. It is because of the powerful corporations lobbying politicians with millions of dollars, that we keep fighting the war. If there is no war to fight, there will not be any demand for the bombs, computers systems and tactical weapons. In this capitalistic society an industry will do everything they can do to stop others from cutting into their profits. This includes peace. My republican friends, I and most of us don't have a several billion dollar capital to invest to create solutions; we need the help of the government. I think it would be nice if "pro-life" people supported money spent to save lives not destroy them. I'm not talking about abortion or stem cell Check out these College Specials: reception expecting to see a shortened version of an actual graduation ceremony. Then again, I think most of us would just like an apology in general because to some, that was our graduation. I wonder if the administration gave that a second thought. Then again, they might have been more worried about whom to sucker into attending the event. Christina Polowsky 2004, Psychology research. Like you people say "as much as you talk, you are still killing a human life." Take a moment to think how much we value human life in war time. Do we have to listen to the constant echo machine of the media? We all know "hope is [NOT] on the way." Democrats, democrats what can I say. You are just as guilty as the damn rightists. Why did we support a guy who spent the whole time fighting as if he was going to lose? Is there an opposition party any more? He conceded immediately, and now we're "looking ahead." You guys better hope that the majority that holds complete power now doesn't cancel democracy and or declare martial law because they are in a position where they can take over the country. These are the cards we have been dealt. Now we can do one two things. We can fold and "cut our losses" like the Democrats have done. Or we can continue to -stand up like the majority of Americans, who didn't vote again, and raise a FIST not a thumb! We need a revolution. I will not stand by when our civil liberties are taken, discrimination is written in constitutions, and we continue to pile our national debt ($7,443,313,021,246.25 dollars and rising.) We can't give up now. We're too involved to just give up. If we give up, we will than continue to see more of the same in the next four years. We as students know that if we want something, we can get it by rising up. So let's do this. "We have only begun to fight." It's not over now. "Si se dice, será oido."

D.W. Jacobs adapted the Charles Dickens' story which is being directed by Todd Salovey. This year the cast is enthusiast, the sets are beautiful, and the music is festive. Imagine having the power to remember things forgotten in the past, to understand the present and see your future.. .do you think you would change anything? Ebenezer Scrooge (Peter Van Norden) is an angry old man who refuses to have any part of Christmas. Scrooge is rude to his family and his employees. He finds joy in money and pleasure in other's misery. One night Scrooge sees the spirit of his old friend and business partner Marley (Douglas Roberts) who warns him that he will be visited by three ghosts that will give him the chance to revisit his past, make sense of the present, and see what his life will be like in the future. Marley's costume is the most interesting part of his visit, his face and wrist chains both glow. When the Ghost of Christmas Past (Shana Wride) arrives she takes Scrooge on a trip back to his past. She takes him to his childhood and reminds him of things he used to love and of the people who impacted his life. This is the best part of this play. The sets are gorgeous and the music really puts you in the mood for the holidays. This would have been the perfect place for an intermission. The show plays for 90 minutes straight through with no breaks. It is hard to pay attention and sit quietly for that long. Next the Ghost of Christmas Present (Douglas Roberts) arrives and gives Scrooge the chance to see how he is currently affecting the lives of people. First he takes Scrooge to the home of his employee Bob Cratchit (Steve Gunderson) and shows him how his family still celebrates even though they are short on money and their youngest child is sick. Then he takes him to his nephew's house THE PRIDE Gwen Stefani: "Love. Angel. Music. Baby." BY PATRICIA GUEVARRA Pride Staff Writer 111:1. J 11 / Photo courtesy of San Diego Repertory Theatre where he sees a party going on with out him and the guests making jokes about him. Both houses toast Scrooge and include him in their celebration even though he chose not to attend. The Ghost of Christmas Present has the most amazing costume in the show and it's good because it gives you something to look at when the play looses your interest. Finally, the Ghost of Christmas Future (Trevor Hollingsworth) shows Scrooge that his future is non-existent and no one will mourn or miss him. The Ghost of Christmas Future is huge and does nothing but point. This is the weakest point of the play, which is sad because it's trying to convey the most powerful message. If you're still paying attention, you'll see that Scrooge's life is changed by the ghosts. He decides to redeem himself by undoing some of the wrongs he's done to change the present so the future will be different. Although this show has great intentions, it fails to deliver. If you expect to leave in the holiday spirit you will be disappointed. Decide for yourself, tickets can be purchased at the box office 79 Horton Plaza and students receive a 50 percent discount. You can also contact the box office by phone (619) 544-1000 or online at www.sandiegorep.com. The show is running until December 26. CAUTION: This is a DANCE ALBUM. Gwen Stefani and Andre 3000 . . . what?! Yep, that's right. She's no longer crawling through her spider webs. Gwen Stefani's newly released solo album, "Love. Angel. Music. Baby", is a completely new sound for this ska chick. She really dives into some Hip-Hop, Dance, and even some Japanese Pop with techno beats making her almost like this generation's Dee-Lite. Imagine those 80s songs like J.J. Fad's "Supersonic" or some Cyndi Lauper tunes, that's what you're getting. This album features her collaborations with hip hop artists Eve, The Neptunes, Andre 3000, and even Andre's alter ego Johnny Vulture allowing her to exhibit her musical versatility. She even samples Notorious B.I.G.'s, "Big Poppa" (also sampled from Marvin Gaye) in her song "Luxurious." I never imagined hearing such a great Biggie track with Gwen's voice singing, "We're LUXURIOUS like Egyptian cotton. We're so rich in love were rollin' in cashmere." As for the rest of the album, I gotta be honest; the lyrics are like a flashback of Madonna's nightmare rap served with lattes. "I picture you driving just like Mario Andretti. I got the Kush, Kettle One, waiting for your engine," from "Crash," which was produced by her band mate Tony Kanal. I seriously had to take a double look and say, "what!? The lyrics aren't all there to make Gwen a hip hop artist. If you just listen to the songs, lyrics and beat together, it makes a good combination. I'm expecting to hear some of her songs played during College Night at the clubs. The last track, "Long Way To Go", produced and also performed by Outkast's Andre 3000, really made me excited. Stefani sings: "It's beyond Martin Luther, upgrade c omputer... If all men are made equal then she/he was fine." Her message about equality reminds listeners of Martin Luther King's dream, "children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by.. .the color of their skin.. .but by the content of their character..." Like I said before, this album is not your typical vibe from No Doubt's, Gwen Stefani. This album is about Gwen, the solo artist and her dance beats. If you can get past the lyrics, then this is a CD that you can't help but move to. Just remember, don't expect to hear some punk or ska.

Those beautifully choreographed moments where - for a split second - everything just seems to become clear and you realize that the life you are choosing to live is not as fulfilling as you had dreamed it would be. If you had not been in that place, at that time, with that person, you know that this epiphany would have never occurred. Miles (Paul Giamatti) and Jack (Thomas Hayden Church) decided to take a seven day trip to wine country in celebration of Jack's last week as a single man. The pair of old college roommates could not have been more different. They were close friends, but they lived completely different lifestyles. Miles went to Northern California to drink wine and play golf. Jack went to take advantage of his final opportunity to get laid before his upcoming wedding. The insecure, neurotic, and introspective Miles could be compared to the grapes that produce a fine Pinot - they can only grow in certain climates, have extremely thin skin, and are temperamental when exposed to the elements of the outside world. Jack, the womanizing, has-been Television star, is like a house Merlot - the grapes can thrive in any environment, regardless of rain or shine and the wine they produce has a distinct robust flavor that everyone recognizes, but is usually enjoyed in moderation. Writer-director Alexander Payne's fourth film (following "Citizen Ruth," "Election" and "About Schmidt") does an excellent job showing how these two men illuminate each others differences, but Photos courtesy of Fox Searchlight Pictures by doing this - they are able to recognize and confront the shortcomings in their own lives. Payne allows the audience the unique ability to see inside the characters and provides cinematic moments that provoke uncontrollable laughter and others that produce a quiet "ah-ha!" If instant gratification is what you seek in a movie, "Sideways" is probably not for you. But if you are willing to approach the movie as you would a vintage wine - cork the bottle, fill up one third of your glass, swish it around, inhale its distinct aroma -f all before you take that first fulfilling sip, then you will appreciate the wit, humor, and intelligence in this film. "Alexander" the not so great BY AMANDA JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer Photo courtesy of Waruer Bros. Entertainment Inc. As Ptolemy (Anthony Hopkins) said, "All men will reach and fall," and so did the movie "Alexander." "Alexander" chronicles the life of Alexander (Colin Farrell), from his childhood years through his short life as king. His father, King Philip (Val Kilmer), is murdered when Alexander is barely 20 years old making Alexander his predecessor. As a young king with ambition, he leads his undefeated Greek and Macedonian armies through Persia and into India. He spreads his kingdom, but after his defeat in India, he leads his army home to Babylon, where his dies at the age of 32. Director Oliver Stone attempts to recreate Alexander's life as an interesting movie, but fails miserably. The threehour movie is filled with mostly dialogue and little action. The few battle scenes that are in the movie have music that sometimes feels a little out of place and offbeat. The beginning jumps between past and present so much that it becomes hard to follow. Although it is hard to chronicle a man's life in only three hours, a lot more could have been done so the viewer could follow along, or at least keep from walking out of the theatre. But to give some credit, the battle scenes were outstanding, if you could get past the music. The,details of blood and gore, with men losing legs and elephants losing trunks; was so realistic, rather disgusting to this writer, that one would have to be impressed with the people on the graphics team. The makeup of the war wounds was also very realistic, especially of a warrior and his missing eye. The details put into the movie on graphics and makeup far exceeded the plotline, which itself was very dull. Beside the fact that Olympias (Angelina Jolie) never ages in the movie and her son does, she was mostly a believable | character. Kilmer does an impressive job as the drunken father, and Farrell wasn't too bad either. There were, however, a few scenes where an unnamed character in Alexander's army would speak up with what sounded to be a Scottish accent. Although this writer's history could be inaccurate, it seems a little out of place for a Scotsman to be in Greece. "Alexander" reaches hard to be a great movie with a quality cast, but the horrible plotline, boring dialogue and little action makes this movie fall to the bottom of the "wait for video" list. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Pistole said, "Nothing is more important to me than the safety of the traveling public."

With that said, I also have to mention that I have had the time of my life. The first thing I noticed is that everything in the U.S. is way bigger: the cars, the roads, the malls, stores, portions of f ood, etc. The Mexican influence here can be compared to the Indian influence back home; we have loads of Indian food places while barely any Mexican places whatsoever. Cars here are just massive. Trucks are not at all popular back home, and having one would just make it impossible to find a parking spot as we parallel p art a lot. I also realized the necessity of having a car. Back home, public transportation is very good, so you don't really need a car. Buses, trains and subways are cheap and well maintained. They run regularly, not like the sprinter which just runs twice an hour. Here, you can barely get to a grocery store without a car, while back home, I 'd rather walk than drive. Finding a parking spot would be too much of a hassle. When I first arrived, I asked myself, why do I have to buy books and live with only girls? In England, I barely ever needed %to buy books for school as most of the course books could be found iii the library. The teachers do not expect their students to buy all the books. Also, the double spacing and sourcing is new to me. We use the Harvard referencing system, not the MLA or APA. One of my teachers told me in the beginning of the semester, "Sweetie, your essay is a bit long, about twice as long as it has to be." I forgot to double space because I 'm not used to it and wrote seven regular pages instead of seven double spaced! The dorms here are very different too, way more expensive and in England we have co-ed rooms and RAs. Upon arriving in California, I realized football isn't soccer here. Sports in the U.S. are different, as soccer, which we call football, is essentially the national sport in England. American Football and baseball are much bigger, and we don't even have those in England. .Surfing is also something that is barely possible with the tiny waves and super cold water in the British Isles. The best difference though is the weather. England is cold and it rains a lot. (At the moment i t's 30 or so Fahrenheit in England, so the last thing I want to do is to go back.) It is quite different being able to go to school in shorts and flip flops here compared to rubber boots and coats back in England. I also like that there is always something to do here: music festivals, concerts and great nightlife. The funny thing is that we can drink when we are 18 back home but also have to wait until we are 18 to drive while here you have to be 21 to drink but can drive when you are 16. Both movies and music come out here way before they do at home. I recently heard that "G6" by Far East Movement just started playing in clubs back home, and I also noticed I cannot buy certain songs on iTunes here because they have not been released back home yet and my account is connected to my English address. When I came here, I didn't think people actually played beerpong. Back home we only see it as something Americans do in teenage movies, and we never play it. That is something that I for sure will take with me back home and do with my friends. I think my exposure to all things American has changed me a lot, and I will truly miss SoCal. I 've had the time of my life, and going on exchange is the best decision I 've ever made. I would encourage anyone to go, as travelling and meeting new people is just awesome. �SHOW ME SOME S CHOOL S PIRIT! COUGAR P RIDE: D OES I T E XIST? B Y AARON JAFFE PRIDE STAFF WRITER California State University San Marcos has no identity. Quite a bold statement, yes? Over the last seven years, I have clicked the student button in every survey that asks me what my occupation is. I am looking forward to clicking that button for a few more years given the declining rate of necessary classes being provided at reasonable times. I enjoy being a student and dealing with the real world on my own terms. The one thing I do not enjoy is the daily grind that is campus life (or lack thereof) at CSUSM. In my travels as a student, I have been to many campuses, both in state and out of state. At each and every single campus I visit, I come away with one con- those of us that look at school like a trip to the grocery store with the "get in and get out" type mentality instead of helping build our campus identity. I am not proud of how many of us ayà have to dump our blood, stant: the students at other schools are proud of their schools. More often than not, this pride a direct result of the athletic performances of their teams, whether students are sports fans or not. Are you proud of CSUSM? me, the swer is short and succinct: no. I am not proud of how few of my Cou gar students, faculty, and ad ministrators I see supporting their fellow colleagues or students in both athletic and non-athlet ic endeavors. I am not proud of É i sweat, I and tears to represent CSUSM without the support of those they represent. V In the Fall/ ^m Winter issue of F CSUSM's alumni Hf magazine, Steps, ^ stories of Cougar athletics take up a good amount of space. Maybe the administration has finally real- ized that they do not need to cram Cesar Chavez quotes and statues down our throats to unify us. Maybe they have finally realized that athletics are the glue that hold campus pride together and help new people get stuck in. What are you going to remember about being a student at CSUSM when you graduate? My challenge to you is to take some time out of your hectic schedule to go out and support the students that give their hearts to representing CSUSM week in and week out. Maybe you might just replace those memories of walking up and down stairs with having some fun at a game. You might even find some Cougar pride in the process. PHOTO COURTESY OF CSUSM.EDU HIV a wareness and progress greatest gift ONE petitions to e radicate HIV t ransmission by 2 015 BY DANNY CASTRO CONTRIBUTOR We humans tend to try to find differences between each other and end up segregating based on trivial differences. This holiday season, I decided to see what kind of differences there are in the desires of people that are "different" from one another by asking them what they want for Christmas. Granted, my sample is very small, but perhaps something can be illustrated. Politics and religion have proven to be wonderful tools for discrimination. I 'm aware that there are more viewpoints than I am listing and of the increasing trend against the pigeonholing of people, but I went with the obvious and went ahead and classified. I asked a conservative what he wanted for Christmas: Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac. What do you want for Christmas, my liberal friend? Well, my liberal friend told me she wanted me, which is probably not so typical of a liberal. Good luck with that. I searched for atheists to see what their Christmas wishes were, but alas, they are hard to find these days. I made do with an agnostic and a Christian. I thought for a second that maybe my agnostic friend would tell me that he didn't know what he wanted for Christmas, but instead he told me he didn't want anything. I thought that was what the atheist wanted. And for you, Christian friend, what would you like f or Jesus's birthday? She wants gift certificates to go shopping. I expected more for such an important day. My Jewish friend told me I was silly for asking him what he wants for Christmas. What do a Caucasian, an African American, a Latino, and a couple of Asian girls have in common? I don't know, but I asked them what they want for Christmas. My white friend wants a Hello Kitty bowling ball. My black friend wants shoes. My brown friend wants a pedal board, and my Asian girlfriends want a car and a surprise, respectively. I guess I do know what those people have in common after all: they literally have wishes. Finally, I asked a homosexual person and a heterosexual person what they want for Christmas. , They both said they want sex. I hope they enjoy safely. According to USAid.gov, it is estimated that 5,500 people die every day from AIDS, one third of which are living in sub-Saharan Africa. None of us were given the choice to be born in the circumstances we were born in—we could have just as well been born into extreme poverty. We should put ourselves in their shoes, and most of them probably don't even have shoes. We humans are not so different from one another after all. The trivial differences in the kinds of gifts we want illustrate the trivial differences we invent to segregate ourselves. We are all human. It wasn't my intention to make it seem as if my friends and their Christmas wishes are representative of the groups they identify with—obviously, that isn't the case. I 'll tell you this though, and the birthday boy said it best: "it is more blessed to give than to receive." This holiday season, in the spirit of giving, you should consider giving your voice to help those who need it most. 31,000 babies will get HIV in December for Christmas because thenmothers have HIV. We now have the medicine and treatment to prevent HIV from spreading from mother to child. By giving your voice, you can help get this treatment to those that need it. Please visit one.org (www.one. org/us/actnow/globalfund2010/) to sign the petition for No Child Born with HIV By 2015. The ONE Campaign is made \ up of over two million Americans who have put their voices together as ONE to keep our leaders accountable when they make promises to help the poorest people in the planet. ONE petitions have raised awareness, and our voices are being heard. In 2008, 50,000 ONE members petitioned Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to respond to the food crisis in developing countries and helped keep the crisis on the 2008 New York UN Summit agenda. As a result, world leaders pledged to commit $1.6 billion to fill in the funding gap. Join Bono and company in making your voice heard to keep our government accountable to its promises by making this a world where children being born with HIV is a thing of the past by * 2015. As different as we make ourselves out to be, if President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama can agree on this issue, I think everyone can too. The U.S. and all 192 United Nations member states have already agreed to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by 2015 (goals include eradicating extreme poverty, reducing child mortality rates, and fighting disease epidemics such as AIDS). Our voices serve as a reminder to our leaders that we care about those issues, that we put ourselves in the shoes of the poorest people who cannot even afford shoes, that we know any one of us could have been born into such circumstances and that we wouldn't want that for anyone, and, finally, that we do not think getting HIV for Christmas is ever OK. PHOTO COURTESY OF DOMINICANNEWSONLINE.COM �POST HOLIDAY BLUES BY REBEKAH GREEN PRIDE STAFF WRITER The holiday break is a time to celebrate. People, for all sorts of reasons, express excitement over holiday traditions, family gatherings, or excitement over the Winter Break. For many though, the holidays arrive with an unwelcome guest: the holiday blues. These blues seem like an issue easily remedied, but in many cases, it can lead to much more serious problems. The stress of holiday shopping, a whirlwind of family gatherings and the inability to visit family and can be a couple of factors that accumulate to holiday blues. Particularly with students, the stress of dealing with the end of the semester added to these issues can easily contribute to the blues. A good source to seek for help f or the holiday blues is the Student Health & Counseling Services, which provides counseling and medical services to students, located across from campus along Craven Road. According to The National Mental Health Association, some effects of the holiday blues include over-eating, drinking, sleeping problems and other issues that can cause bodily and emotional discomfort. A large amount of those afflicted with holiday blues experience it following the new year. Psychology Today lists a few ways to lessen the blues this season including making sure not to set too busy a schedule especially in the already hectic times of the winter season, and remembering that holidays always change each year, and nothing will stay the same, therefore try to accommodate new plans/activities f or the winter bjeak each year. There are plenty of ways to get involved during the holidays too: charity events, local Christmas events, and many forms of community service. The holiday blues are common in individuals, but from these blues stems a more serious PHOTO COURTESY OF BLOGS SFWEEKLY.COM issue. The National Institute of Mental Health, lists Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) as one of the major forms of depression. It states that this disorder takes effect during the winter season, primarily due to the fact that there is less sunlight. Depression, unlike the common blues, is something that may need more attention than simple remedies. Seeking help is not something to be ashamed of. In the end one can only benefit from ridding of the winter blues.

Before they step into the "real" world, here are some classes that stimulate the mind and propel them toward graduation day. Each class is followed, in parentheses, by the undergraduate requirement it fulfills. Philosophy 110: Critical Thinking (A3) Philosophy 110 explores approaches to nature and logic as well as rational arguments and fallacies used in everyday conversations. This class makes one think about different ways people argue and how they cannot really support their arguments. GES 105: Intro to Physical Science ( Bl) Let's face it; Many of us are sci- race through the generations. entifically challenged.

FMST 100: Intro to Cinema ( CI) Intro to Cinema is a fine art requirement class. It is one of the eleven class options CSUSM offers in fine arts. The class explores the four elements of cinema: categories, structures, theories and production of cinema. This is a class for film junkies and people interested in learning about the world of movies. WMST 205: Gender & Identity in Pop Culture and the Media (C2) This women's studies class surveys the way pop culture and the media have shaped gender roles, sexuality and ECON 202: Principles of Macroeconomics (D) Economics courses are not only for business majors. We live in a capitalist country, so to make it in society, you need to understand the relationship between the U.S. economy and the world. Principles of Macroeconomics may not be everyone's "cup of tea," but this class will help you learn about gross domestic products (GDP), inflation, unemployment, monetary policies and deficits. ASTR 342: Elements of Astronomy (BB Math or Science) Elements of Astronomy counts as an upper division math or sci- ence graduation requirement. The course examines human knowledge of the solar systems, galaxies, and their relationships to Earth. ANTH 380: Current Archaeology (DD Social Science) This anthropology course delves into one anthropological subdivision: archaeology. Elements of Current Archaeology explores local archaeological sites and indigenous culture. This class piques the interest of people who would like to connect modern society with our biological ancestors. PSYC 330: Developmental Psychology: Infant/Child (DD Social Science) Most students may one day have children. It would be a great idea to start learning about children now. This upper division psychology class explores the aspects of physical and emo- tional development of a child from conception to early life. HIST 347: California History ( DGGov) This history course provides an in depth look at different periods in the history of the Golden State. This includes periods of Spanish, Mexican and U.S. governance. The course also covers each government's relationship with the original inhabitants of this land. TA 301: Intro to Acting This is a three-unit course that may be repeated for up to nine units. Intro to Acting is a small class that allows the student to practice basic acting techniques and bring out their inner "drama king/queen." During the semester, the student has to prepare their own monologue and scene to perform in front of the class. This is a course for those of us who always dreamed of being in the spotlight . PHOTO COURTESY OF CONRADSCIENCE.20M.COM TO COMMUTE OR NOT TO COMMUTE? I A M A STUDENT A ND A COMMUTER BY DEVONNE EDORA PRIDE STAFF WRITER Students recognize CSUSM a commuter school. Our school's on-campus housing at the University Village Apartments (UVA) is only able to accommodate a total of about 500600 students, from a total student body of about 9,142. Obviously, a great number of students end up having to commute to campus almost everyday. Luckily, students live in a wide variety of off-campus housing. Living in San Marcos isn't always the best financial choice for a student. So, commuting to school i s the way to go. Others may believe that commuting is hard for a variety of reasons. I d on't think it takes anything away from being a college student. I got the chance to talk with two commuters and asked them what they thought about CSUSM's commuter campus. I spoke with Lia Alvarez, a sophomore who commutes from Fallbrook Monday through Thursday. Alvarez's schedule getting to school consists of waking up at 5 a.m. dropping off her daughter by 6, and trying to make the train that will transfer her to the Sprinter arriving at CSUSM. I as asked her why she didn't opt to drive to school. She replied, "I could drive [to CSUSM] and it would take me about an hour, but I don't like driving." Especially if her husband isn't on deployment, Alvarez's only option is to take the train/Sprinter route to get to school. Downsides to commuting are that she has to be on schedule with everything. "If you miss the 306, you have to wait a long time [for the next] to come and you're going to be late," Alvarez said. Students can take the Breeze bus, but it only comes twice every hour, compelling students to travel on foot to reach campus. While to some, this commute may seem tedious, a good amount of students do take the Sprinter to school. Alvarez said that she sees a "lot of students from Palomar and Mira Costa, around 10-15 students, and about 25 students from CSUSM." Jilliane Douglas, .currently a junior, also commutes. She had previously lived on campus. Driving from San Diego twice a week, Douglas describes some of her experiences switching from San Marcos living to commuting. "[Commuting] makes me go to school more, because I have to make that conscious decision to go class. If I don't go to my first class, it's probably likely I won't go to my next one." Douglas also commented that commuting to school hasn't affected her involvement on campus. In actuality, she believes that it has done the opposite. "Honestly; I 'm more involved with the campus. I 'm going to participate in the Triathlon through the Clarke, and I 'm interested in joining a sorority," Douglas said. "Living on campus—I took it for granted. I felt living on campus was the same feeling of being on campus." In comparison to other colleges, this amount of commuting to school appears to be going against what it is to "go to college." Making the drive everyday and being far away from campus events can make it seem like you're not getting the a complete "college experience." Commuting instills a type of discipline that is taken for granted when students live on campus. Interestingly, no one mentioned the perks of living off campus, such as not having to share a bedroom or bathroom with anyone, doing laundry without quarters, and no one telling you to be quiet after 10 p.m. Tedious or not, commuting can still work. Whoever says otherwise doesn't dictate what is and should be your college experience. �fVow 1(av the/ Kitchen/ Chiloquiles Verdes BY JENNA JAUREGUI DIGITAL MEDIA MANAGER Got kids?

California S tate University v sAvw.csusm.edu/el CELEBRATING 20 YEARS SAN MARCOS �M YSTERIOUS CAMPUS S PORTS ARENA WHEN WILL THE NEW FACILITY OPEN I TS DOORS? BY MICHAEL RAWSON PRIDE STAFF WRITER Noah spent forty days waiting f or the world to stop raining. But at least he knew it would be forty days. Our baseball and softball teams are getting their own home on campus, but it looks like the agonizing cycle of waiting begins when the date of its arrival remains a mystery. Cougar sports fans are used to being spectators away f rom school. The baseball and softball teams have spent their first few seasons playing at off-campus sites, like San Marcos High school. The women's softball field opened in time f or spring 2010 and the baseball team will open competition on their home field in 2011. Meanwhile, the multipurpose arena f or basketball and volleyball will open at a date more mysterious, than an Agatha Christie novel. The man who might hold the answer, CSUSM Athletic Director Tom Seitz, was unavailable f or comment by the time The Pride went to print. In an interview with the North County Times in January of this year, Seitz prophesized some things but also came off vague on the indoor arena, which the article explained construction will begin in 2010-11. In the interview, Seitz talked about his desire to start m en's and women's basketball teams, along Volleyball coach, Sarah Güstin, she had no idea when the arena might come to b e. Women's basketball coach, Sheri Jennum, said she did not think about the new facility because it " won't b e ly, the new coaches seem to be completely uninformed about their f uture home court. When the North County Times asked Seitz about the new sports facilities, Seitz quoted the total [ a]n arena would be a terrific addition to our campus and we are currently exploring the possibilities of building one. However, there are no formal plans nor a concrete timeline currently in place for construction/' -Margaret Lutz Public Information Director \\ with a women's volleyball team. In April, students voted in favor of a $60 tuition increase devoted to athletic fees over the next two years in efforts to welcome the new sports. Now, those squads have coaches and scheduled games. Strange- for the whole enchilada at an estimated $50 million. Seitz said, "We d on't have time to wait f or that much to be raised...getting the softball field done will show people that we are moving forward and are able to complete projects and get things done." It's EASY, It's Y ear Round. SeautifuUtf Siottfe built, as we understand, f or at least a year or two." And m en's basketball coach, Jim Saia, offered the most curious testimony of all: "Hopefully, i t's a matter of when, and not i f, the arena comes." In an email, Public Information Director f or CSUSM, Margaret Lutz said that "[a]n arena would be a terrific addition to our campus and we are currently exploring the possibilities of building one. However, there are no formal plans nor a concrete timeline currently in place f or construction." Could it be that the new home of basketball and volleyball might still be in doubt? According to Tom Seitz, i t's unlikely. Since taking over as athletic director in July 2009, he has sent the already thriving athletic program into overdrive. An affiliate minor league baseball club of the San Diego Padres had been considering C SUSM's baseball home as a possible stadium, but after the team stalled, Seitz helped make the decision go forward with a much needed field f or the Cougars. San Marcos sports seem destined to soon compete at the NCAA Division II level. The softball field is a successful operation. The new basketball and volleyball teams are in motion— they j ust d on't have a home. How long will it be before they do? N o one seems to know, and it will undoubtedly be more than forty days. But the Cougar arena seems unlikely to end u p underwater. Earn your degree in education in 12-18 months at APU.

Sadly, however, sometimes these solutions end up creating more trouble. For example, AutoCorrect settings in text messages sometimes d o more harm than good. Depending on the phone and service, this program goes by many names. For example, my phone is a Sanyo 2700 from Sprint. There is a setting in the messages section called "Predictive Text." This setting allows certain phrases to pop up to select while typing a word it recognizes. During a conversation, I tried to say, "Hey, I am at a meeting," but instead my phone sent, "Hey, I am at a meet me at." Luckily, I turned off the predictive text after finding the setting menu. Roberto Barragan,* a third year Mass Media major, also ran into some AutoCorrect problems with his Droid phone. He texted, "Do you wanna hang pants tonight?" when he wanted to say, "Do you wanna hang out?" It at first seems like a funny situation, but it is a growing hassle for cell phone owners. In the early years of the cell phone, before touch screens and full keyboards, the program for the basic 9-key keypad was Nuance's T9. According to Nuance, users gain features like Next Word Prediction, Enhanced Word Completion, and "One Key Press per Letter."

Champagne, fireworks, good food in the company of friends and family seems to be a winning concept wherever you go. In Paris, wishing people "Bonne année" and exchanging "bisous," kisses, comes with the New Year celebrations. People flock at the famous street ChampsÉlysées with champagne in hand to celebrate and watch fireworks blast off around the Eiffel Tower at the stroke of midnight. In London; the Brits get their drink on for New Year's, and people traditionally gather at Trafalgar Square in central London for the countdown to midnight. The ultimate firework show goes off from South Bank next to the big Ferris wheel The London Eye when Big Ben chimes at midnight. Tube rides are free in London on New Years and so going from a house party to South Bank to see the fireworks should not be too much of a problem. The Italians; in Rome traditionally gather at Piazza del Popolo to celebrate New Yçar's Eye with live music, dancing and fireworks that starts at 11 p.m. and continues throughout the night. In Sydney, more than 1.5 million people gather at the Sydney Harbor to welcome the new year. Firework shows start at 9 p jn., but at midnight the whole opera house is lit up by the many fireworks blasting off in the night sky. A crazier New Year's Eve party than the one at the Thai island of Koh Phangan is hard to find. 50,000 people from all over the world gather at the Haad Rin beach to dance the night away with buckets of drinks instead of glasses, fire dancers, loud music and lots of fireworks. The crowd is young and people celebrate until the tide comes in and the sun comes up. The New Year's Celebration is one of the biggest events in Rio de Janeiro. More than 2 million people gather at Copacabana beach where the festivities start at 8 p.m. with live music. The firework show starts at midnight, and they are fired from boats offshore so all the spectators are safe and can see them light up the sky and the ocean. It is also tradition to wear white clothes and to bring flower to throw into the water at midnight. Kuala Lumpur, the Muslim capital of Malaysia offers a massive New Year's Celebration with streets so crowded it is hard to get anywhere. Most restaurants, bars and shops are open and the best festivities are in the many bars that offer live music and activities. The streets and shops are covered in light and at midnight, a large firework show goes off in front of the Petrona Twin Towers. In Hong Kong both Dec. 31 and the Chinese New Year are two big festivities to be celebrated. The latter is wider celebrated than our New Year, though. People gather in "Times Square," or the Victo-. ria Harbor, for the countdown. From the Harbor large firework shows can be seen with the many skyscrapers in the background. South Africa's Cape Town offers large festivities, though they celebrate New Year on Jan. 1. The locals look forward to the New Year's celebrations weeks ahead and the celebrations are ushered with ringing church bells and gunshots. Houses, shops5 and all public places are covered in gorgeous decorations. Tourists and locals flock at the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront were the largest festivities in the country take place and people dance the night away with fireworks blasting throughout the night.

In order to fix those last minute jams, several places and methods can help you. Re-gifting is an inexpensive way to put the useless into use. People gave some presents out of good cheer, but sadly, you could not use in your lifestyle. Instead of letting them gather dust in storage, simply wrap the items up for ones you know may need them. It is a green solution where you save time, money, space and probably some trees along the way. On the subject of saving money, thrift stores are also cheap solutions for gifts. A donated necklace or fishing rod might be what you have been looking for. The Goodwill in San Diego, there are 15 locations to purchase and donate items. Several other non-profit groups have their own thrift stores in the area. Not only can you find gifts, but also you help some of the unfortunate residents in the county. When it is a challenge to find an exact present for someone, buying a gift card is an easy option. It allows the receiver to buy what they want with the money that is in the card within the designated store. Many stores, including some grocery and online ones provide gift cards for shoppers. Places like Ralphs, Vons, Albertsons and Wal-Mart carry a wide variety of gift cards. Just stop by to check out the choices. If you do not have time to buy a gift card, checks and cash are good backups. It is might be better just to let gift recipients choose what they want. For those who will be hosting parties and/or fixing up the place for the holiday, affordable decorations are available. Dollar Tree, a money-saving branch of stores, has 12 locations within a 25-mile radius of San Marcos where most of the stock is only a dollar each. They also deliver bulk orders f rom their website to those 12 locations, if requested. You can use any of the given options not only work for the holiday seasons, but also for any celebration like birthdays, anniversaries, parties and other festivities. �DROPPING THIS WEEK B Y M ILA P A N T O V I C H P RIDE S TAFF W RITER "Inception" (PG13) Christopher Nolan's borderline genius film that delves into the way a human mind functions while deep in sleep is finally released on DVD and Blu-ray today. The film follows a group of dream extractors, led by Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), as they take on a life-altering heist that mvolves planting an idea in someone's mind. Offered his only chance of redemption, Cobb risks his own sanity and grasp on reality to succeed in pulling off the perfect inception. Nolan artfully skews reality with the unconscious landscape, causing you to question everything that you think you know. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe, Tom Hardy, and Michael Cain. "Shrek Forever After" (PG) Shrek is back in the fourth, and final, film of the Shrek franchise. Bored with domestic life, Shrek (Mike Myers) longs for the days when he was a feared ogre. After he is coerced into signing a deal with Rumpelstiltskin, Shrek is thrown into an alternate reality where Rumpelstiltskin is King, ogres are hunted, Far Far Away is a shell of what it once was, and where he had never met Fiona (Cameron Diaz), Donkey (Eddie Murphy), or Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas). "Shrek Forever After" fails to match the comedic gold of the first two Shrek films but it succeeds in surpassing the third, continuing to show an evolution in Shrek's character. While funny, "Shrek Forever After" relies a little too heavily on pop culture references and songs for all of the comedic relief. New to the franchise are actors such as John Hamm and Jane Lynch. "Boy Meets World: The Complete Fourth Season" (NR) Want to relive your childhood? The fourth season of "Boy Meets World" is the perfect answer to the nostalgia you may be feeling now that finals creeping closer. The show follows Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) and the life lessons he learns while growing from a young boy to a grown adult, orchestrating college life and marriage. With his best friend, Shawn (Rider Strong), his older brother Eric (Will Friedle), his childhood sweetheart and future wife, Topanga (Danielle Fishel), and his mentor, Mr. Feeney (William Daniels), Cory slowly learns how to be an adult without losing the playful innocence of childhood.

With each film, Aronofsky continues ** to deliver, and "Black Swan" only further ups the ante. Within the competitive and physically abusive world ofprofessional ballet, Aronofsky poses a constructed reality that just may be more truthful than that which is considered real outside of the frame. Channeling Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis," the psychologically disturbing "Black Swan" will leave you stunned, stuttering out pieced together fragments of your shattered thoughts. Nina (Natalie Portman) is a dedicated and poised dancer with the New York City Ballet Company who pushes her body and her mind to the limit to be her best. Delicate and childlike, Nina is a perfectionist who still lives with her overbearing mother (Barbara Hershey), while frozen in a ten year old's bedroom. After Thomas (Vincent Cassel), the company director, forces the company's star (Winona Ryder) into retirement, a new star is needed to play the dual role of the Swan Queen for the new " .. inteCCigenty passionate, BrutaC, Beautiful ancCraw. " season's opening performance of Swan Lake. It's immediately apparent that Nina completely embodies the White Swan, the epitome of virginal innocence, but she is unable to bring the seductive Black Swan out from within. With the role in her hands, ** Nina is pushed to her limits when the relaxed and sexually vibrant Lily (Mila Kunis) arrives. With Thomas's urging her to awaken the passion he knows is within and with Lily as a reflection of everything she cannot be, Nina quickly finds herself losing grip on her rapidly fragmenting reality as she pursues the perfect performance. Set in the world of professional ballet, "Black Swan" can easily be seen as a companion film to Aronofsky's 2008 "The Wrestler." Both films show how far pro- fessional athletes will push themselves, forcing their bodies and minds to take on abuses that can physically and mentally cripple them in an instant. Whereas "The Wrestler" approaches the theme through the use of a hardened and aged man, showing the deep vulnerability within, "Black Swan" centers on an incredibly delicate and timid young woman who is internally deeply disturbed and twisted. Every choice made by Aronofsky, the excruciating emphasis put on bloody toe nails and the straining corded muscles of Nina's feet as she stands en pointe f or hours on end, violently and delicately propels forward the story of a ballet dancer on the brink of darkness. After strenuously training for a year and losing twenty pounds, Natalie Portman completely transforms herself into Nina, obliterating any doubt as to her unending talent. Completely perfecting the dual nature of the Swan Queen, she blurs the lines between the timid beauty of the White Queen with the underlying darkness of the Black Queen lurking beneath. With Nina's rapidly fracturing mental state, her perception of reality can never be completely trusted, making Portman's Nina delicately terrifying; the perfect unreliable narrator. While Portman's performance absolutely stuns, leaving you breathless with its intensity, the rest of the cast never dares to solely rely on Portman's performance. Winona Ryder is wonderful as the aged ballerina who is pushed from the spotlight, terrified of her limitations and living with the unending crippling fear of aging. As the seductively sleazy director, Vincent Cassel shines. He pushes and prods Nina, his actions methodical and always with purpose, until she has no other response but to mentally crack. Mila Kunis, in a role completely differentfromthose in her past, slides within thefilmseamlessly. She plays Lily with a free-spirit that is questionable in its intentions, reflecting all that Nina needs to bring out from within herself. Out of the excellent supporting cast, Barbara Hershey is spectacular as Nina's mother. She manages to effortlessly play the role of a domineering mother seen th- rough Nina's cracked perception, subtly layering her character. You have no idea what to believe and in this sense, "Black Swan" completely blurs the lines between reality and its false perceptions, to the point where the mere concept of reality fails to hold any merit. "Black Swan" is as close to perfection as a film can get. Every single decision is thoughtful and nothing is wasted, building up psychological terror to culminate in the inevitable ending. The camerawork is frenetic and claustrophobic, framing countless fast-paced close-ups that place you within the fractured reality of Nina's life. You are never allowed to take a step back from the unending pain that is threaded within the film's fabric. The score emphasizes the slightest sound, magnifying it to a degree that suffocates you. Nina's labored breathing, the unbearable feeling of her nails scratching along her skin, it all works to lock you within the frame and stutter your own casual breathing. Aronofsky expertly uses as many reflective surfaces as he can and films Portman through these surfaces more often than not, portraying Nina more as a reflection than a person, highlighting her rapidly splintering personality. While "Black Swan!' may not be a horror film in the conventional sense, portions of the film will disturb you in ways that a slasher film never could. D on't dare let a film set in the world of ballet turn you off because "Black Swan" is deeply and psychologically terrifying and will easily go down in film history as a rare and perfect achievement. Beautifully framed and emotionally tense, the film is layered so expertly that it is rigid in form but loose in content. Working as a modern adaptation of "Swan Lake" itself, Aronofsky manages to create many self-reflective layers within "Black Swan." The film itself even works as a reflection of the layered Swan Queen; "Black Swan" is a controlled beauty that is wildly dangerous, incredibly free and terrifyingly seductive beneath.

The College of Literature and Writing (LTWR) has scheduled three classes after 6 PM this spring, but two of them are on the same night and none are core classes. One is a 500 class oriented toward those who want to teach writing. "I couldn't believe there are so few classes in my major. It's atrocious. The fulltime worker who is a part-time student has been let down," said Sharon Hambly, who has attended CSUSM for 2 years and has only major classes left to complete. Hambly enrolled in one LTWR class and a children's literature course offered through the College of Education next semester. "Tuition is the same for one or two classes, so I elected to take a class that will not apply to my major. It is of interest to me, at least," she explained. Professor Kenneth Mendoza, program director, said that a fourth course was proposed, but there was no room available with the equipment needed for the class. "We recognize the difficulty working students have in taking courses, however, the Literature and Writing Studies Program must ensure that we have the best faculty available to teach our courses, and we must ensure that we fill enrollments in all classes," he said. In the past, Mendoza said, the program has had to cancel several evening classes because of poor enrollment. "In these situations, if the faculty member is an adjunct professor, they lose a teaching position and students lose a class," he added. John Rodriguez, another LTWR major, said he is waiting to get laid off from his job so he can complete his required courses during the day. He has been a night-school student on and off for four years. "Cal State San Marcos has abandoned the night school student they originally encouraged to attend," Rodriguez said. Junior Laura Hopkins will enroll at Palomar College because of the limited classes available at CSUSM. "It's disappointing, but I'll take this opportunity to complete a lowerdivision requirement," she said. John Picha, who works full-time, has one required class remaining to complete his degree. But he won't be able to do it next semester, because it isn't offered at night. He plans to take a class or two and wait until he can get the class he needs. "I like this school because it's small and close by. The size of the school probably has a lot to do with the scheduling problems," he suggests.

"Scheduling requires faculty members who are available to teach evening courses and also a significant population of students to fill those courses," he added. That doesn't help junior Betsy Miltmore, however. "By next semester, I'll be a poor, starving student," she said. She is unable to fulfill the requirements of the LTWR major with the present night classes offered. "I've decided to quit my fulltime job and look for another offering fewer, more flexible hours," she said, adding that the most popular classes in her major are offered only during the day. The greatest hope for night school students is larger enrollment, according to Mendoza. "We do have a commitment to serve our entire student population. As our program grows, both in faculty and working students, we will be able to offer more evening, and perhaps even weekend, courses," he said.

The symbolism is hard to miss. It is like an unfinished portrait awaiting its final brush strokes. But Dr. Alexander Gonzalez, CSUSM's dynamic interim president, is painting that canvas with his vision for the university's focus direction, and future. Gonzalez met with the Pride last week to discuss his first semester in office and his vision for creating an identity for GSUSM. His office, a reflection of the man, is well appointed but still efficient and organized. And though his shirtsleeves weren't rolled up, his loosened tie and a dress shirt had lost its crispness to the workday fit the image of a hands-on administrator. He answered questions with an openness and frankness that exuded confidence in himself and his abilities to get the job done. The first order of business was defining his role in the campus hierarchy. "I'm the leader of the university. I'm the boss. I'm responsible for everything," he said.

Neither of these tax credits can be applied for summer or winter sessions. Both HOPE and Lifetime Learning were designed to help middleincome students who are not eligible for financial aid or other taxfree educational assistance. There is a maximum income level requirement for eligibility in both programs whirh will phagpH in gradually. Eventually, 12.9 million students are expected to benefit from the two tax credits. CSUSM will not notify students about eligibility for either tax credit. Students must initiate them. Phillips and Ojeda suspect that a form similar to the present W-2 will be sent to students explaining more about the process. But because next year will be the first time that the tax credits are implemented, not much more information about either is available yet. Although the Tax Relief Act of 1997 is basically designed for future students, it also offers a break for those who are about to graduate and are worried about paying back student loans. "Any interest paid on a student loan on or after Jan. 1,1998, is deductible, as long as the student is in the first five years of his or her payments," Phillips said. The Tax Relief Act also has a break for those who are not old enough to attend college as yet. It will be possible, starting Jan. 1, to create Education Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) for any child under 18. Contributions are limited to $500 a year, and earnings in the Education IRA will accumulate tax-free, and no tax due upon withdrawal provided the money is used to pay for post-secondary tuition and fees.But students receiving grants, scholarships, or other taxfree educational assistance are ineligible f or this b enefit. E-Mail Vivien Parry news editor B Y M ARJAN NAHVANDI f you're a first- or second-year college student paying your own tuition, you may qualify for a new tax credit next year, but only if you wait until after Jan. 1 to pay your tuition. The tax credit is available under the HOPE scholarship program, which is part of the Tax Relief Act of 1997, which becomes effective on Jan. 1,1998. Here's how it works: If you're enrolled in 6 or more units, working towards a degree, pay your own tuition and are in the first two years of your education, you may qualify for the HOPE tax credit. According to Paul Phillips, CSUSM director of Financial Aid and Scholarships, such a credit is a dollar-for-dollar deduction. "It is the best form of tax break," he adds. Students who qualify will receive a 100 percent tax credit for their first $1,000 of tuition and required fees, and a 50 percent credit on their second $1,000. But only those payments made on or after Jan. 1 count. So, if a student pays $1,600 in tuition and fees in 1998, he or she would receive a tax break of $1,300 on the taxes due April 15,1999. Michele Ojeda, supervisor of Financial Aid Accounting, stressed students who receive any kind of scholarship or grant cannot qualify for HOPE. "You have to pay your own fees out of pocket to benefit from HOPE credit," Ojeda adds. There is also some new tax relief for those students who have been in school for more than two years and who do not qualify for HOPE. It's the Lifetime Learning tax credit, a 20 percent deduction the first $5,000 of tuition and required fees paid each year through 2002, and for the first $10,000 thereafter. It applies to payments made on or after July 1,1998. But, like HOPE, to be eligible for Lifetime Learning, students must be paying their own tuition. Unlike HOPE, however, there is no time 1 The Pride C SUSan MAreos San Marcos, CA. 92096-001 pride@mailhostLcsusm.edn Gabriel Lundeen entertainment editor Tom Nolan faculty advisor Boycott continued from PAGE 2 tion. Currently CSUSM operates t he c opy c enter on c ampus, which draws $48,000 per year f rom the u niversity's g eneralfund, according to Susan Green, assistant vice president of Administrative Services at CSUSM. She added that copy machines have been strategically placed throughout campus, including in the library, computer lab and career center. Since CSUSM already has a copy service, she added, stu- dents and administration need to do "what we can to make it w ork." The goal, she said, is to make the copy center self-supporting within two years. Of five students randomly polled in Founders Plaza, only one had heard of the copy center, which is in the new one-story building next to the faculty and staff parking lot.

I would have to ^ ^ ^ ^ say that, as a communication major, it was a a ^ ^ difficult journey. Difficult? Well, for starters, the communications department did not even exist back then. In the beginning, I had to declare my major as Liberal Arts. I was told that, within the next year, communications courses would be available, at which point I could change my major. This turned out not to be the case. Though, by the Fall 1996 semester there were four communications classes on the schedule and I signed up for all four, three of them were canceled two weeks prior to the semester start. Supposedly, this was because the university did not have enough professors. Although greatly inconvenienced, I managed to get into a couple of sociology and psychology classes that eventually were acceptable for a communications major. I feel I lost some of the education I would have received if the department had been up and running sooner. In addition to the sociology and psychology classes, I had to complete six units of Independent Studies in order to graduate this semester. Why? Because, again, the classes I needed last semester were could come to the campus once a week and have an eightweek semester or eight-week course. They could go yearround with one course rather than two semesters at two courses each. Those are the kind of things that we need to do here and I think we're starting to do that." Gonzalez firmly believes that San Marcos will have no problem gaining full Accreditation, "I don't really think that it's an issue. I think that by the time that I leave here in two years, and we're actually going through the visit, there shouldn't be any problem with the standards by which we judge institutions," he said. Gonzalez noted that in time he would like to see students become more than just customers. Those who maintain a "get-in, get-out" attitude, he added, "are coming to the university for the wrong reasons. We need to shift the focus from teaching to learning, move it from the faculty member to the student. That's not to take anything away from the faculty, but make the faculty less responsible for the teaching part of it and make the student more responsible for the learning part of it." not available. But, I also feel that the struggles have made me stronger The Independent Studies program, is an excellent way to acquire hands-on experience with media analysis. I recommend it highly. Today, the Communications Department is finally up and running. Although there are not nearly as many communications majors as hoped, the classes grow a little bigger each semester. Some new professors have been hired: helping to make the program more diversified. Bud Morris was hired as head of the department this fall He is a welcome addition. So, too, is Professor Lora Coad, who has helped show many students the path to graduation. Many would have gotten lost without her help. It's nice in one way to belong to a department that is fairly small. For the most part, we communications majors have become good friends. Whereas the business and liberal arts departments have hundreds of students, the Communications Department is more like an extended family. Anywhere from 5 tol 5 of us often get together to talk about how we're going to get through the semester. It's a strong bond. This semester, too, I was able to sign up for a full load of classes in my major. It appears that next semester will be even more promising. Although many of the classes overlap, several new types are being added. When I began 2 years ago, there wasn't a single communications class. Many of my peers thought I was out of my mind to think I could graduate with a communications degree. Well, I did it, and others will follow suit in the spring Professor Coad once asked me how it felt to be a "pioneer." At the time, I told her I wasn't interested in being one since I just wanted to graduate. But, now that I look back, I do feel pretty 'pioneerish. And, guess what? It isn't that bad. Within my time here, I have seen the school grow tremen dously. There are more students than ever this semester, freshmen and sophomores, but also less available parking spaces. Buildings are being constructed to make room for next spring's new arrivals. I'm happy to say that I will not be here to have to make room for them. My final thoughts are simple: When I return in years to come to see how the school has grown, I ask only one small favor: PLEASE BIUBLD MORE PARKING LOTS! �Youths at risk: 'Severe' hate crimes on the rise B Y S HARON H AMBLY A w^L #^ lthough hate crimes are down recently in San Diego County, the severity of such attacks has increased and they continue to be com mitted most frequently by young individu - JL - MLals, according to a new county report. The report by the San Diego City and County Hate Crimes Registry is based on 123 verified offenses reported by county law enforcement agencies between December 1995 and December 1996. Gayle Falkenthal, public affairs director at the San Diego District Attorney's office, said, "Hate crimes are a young crime for both the defendants and the victims. At least this is what all the statistics show. This is very surprising be- cause with all the culture and diversity exposure today, it should be less. But hate crimes mostly affect those under 21 years of age." The annual report also said that the younger the assailants, the more likely they are to attack in groups of two or more. Some 84 percent of those under 21 participated only in group attacks, it added."Why is the message not being received? We need to talk about it, report it, and see that it is dealt with very aggressively by the police," said Falkenthal.The U.S. Attorney's Office has called for the formation of a new work group to ensure that San Diego develops a coordinated effort to respond to, investigate, prosecute and prevent such crimes. The San Diego Hate Crimes Community Working Group will be chaired by Anti-Defamation League Regional Director Morris Casuto and will largely consist of education and religious leaders, since they guide youth groups in school and church. "To be a hate crime it must be a crime first: assault or vandalism. A victim must be picked out and targeted for who or what they are. Hate crimes are not speech, flyers, web sites or speakers. These are considered our freedom of speech and they are protected," Falkenthal said. "A hate crime is a crime because it causes everyone else that is a member of the group to fear that they may be targeted for the same reason or because of who they are. For example, if you walk down a street and are robbed, you can change the stret you use, but you can not change it if you are black or gay." On Dec. 1, the Anti-Defamation League began providing information about hate crimes and contacts for community resources on its World Wide Web site. Its address is www.sandiego.adl.org. "It is incumbent upon our community to ensure that no victim is left invisible; that each individual's worth as a human being is reaffirmed," Casuto said. The report recommended that schools should be a major site for anti-hate efforts since 53 percent of the hate-crime assailants were 20 or developmental programs, beginning with preschool, to promote positive social attitudes and behaviors. Diversion programs that target at-risk youth to bring about behavioral change through education and understanding should also be developed, it added. San Marcos grads "surge" into the real world: New cafe opens for buisiness B Y D EBBIE H OLDERBY he graduation cer emony is over. Bach elor degree in hand, it's time for students to ask the big question: "What now?" Well, for Mark DuBois, a graduate of CSUSM in May 1996, it was s omething he h adn't r eally planned on. DuBois, a Spanish major, originally planned to travel the world and teachlinglish after earning his degree. "But my experiences at CSUSM were so positive, I didn't want to leave. I realized that I wanted to give something back to the university and the community of San Marcos," he said. So he filed an application with the city to open a coffee shop. The result, the Power Surge Cafe, which opened on Dec. 1 near the CSUSM campus. Looking out of a window at the cafe toward the campus, DuBois said, "I want Power Surge to be the kind of place where students can come and spread out their books and talk. If one person makes a friend or learns something here, it will be worth it." Located on the corner of Barham and Twin Oaks Drives, the old house destined to become the Power Surge C afe i ntrigued DuBois as a student. "I used to drive by this place on the way to school and think, *Gee, someone should open a coffee shop here. What a perfect place!' I used to study with my friends on campus and we wished there were someplace close by where we could go and relax for a while. "I just never thought I'd be the one doing this." It took him a year to turn his dream into reality. San Marcos required building plans, tremendous paperwork and compliance with health department regulations that were "thick as a telephone book," he said. But DuBois was determined. " I've gained so much experience in the last year, I feel like I've earned a master's degree in Life 101," he added. DuBois said he has been overwhelmed by the support offered by well wishers. "People just want to h elp," he a dded. "They have painted, helped lay concrete, decorated and offered lots of suggestions and ideas." A well-rounded team of partners and friends do- nated countless hours of time anc effort to the opening of the cafe he added.

It founding member, Robert Nanniga, complained that some of his Pagan bumper stickers had been stolen on campus, while other PAN members said they, had received hate mail via campus e-mail for wearing Faith pins. Nanniga said PAN wants to create a forum to help people interested in alternative spirituality find a haven in an earth-based spirituality that doesn't negate other dominant rel&tions. PAN member Samantha Cahill said, "The club is being formed in response to a perceived lack of inclusion of individuals involved in alternative faith systems. The club will engage in outreach and public education as members seek to promote acceptance, diversity, understanding and, above all else, respect for people involved in spiritual quests." Nanniga said he expects controversy due to intolerance, misunderstanding and lack of education. "We are seeking truths other than what's been given to us by mainstream western dogma," he said, adding, "Spirituality is a tool, not a weapon." PAN, he added, has a strong environmental base. "As this campus develops, if we don't take earth spirits into consideration, we are only going to have a cement cathedral," he said. Nanniga said the club is open to all and its direction wilt be determined by its membership. Old age to new age faiths, and even those associated with main stream religions are welcome, he said, noting that, "We are a collage of people seeking spiritual identity that accepts all interpretations." Interested individuals can contact Cahill at cahil002. Gray whales migrate south B Y JENNIFER S CHRAMM Well, it's approaching that time again. The gray whales are on their way south for the winter. The gray whale has the longest migration route of any mammal on earth: 12,000 miles roundtrip! First, they feed in the Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea for about four months and then begin a 6,000-mile, three-month trip to the warm waters of Baja California to mate or give birth. After spending about two months in the lagoons or shallow waters off Baja, they make their trip back to the Arctic. That takes them another three months. The gray is a baleen whale (a filter feeder); it doesn't have teeth. It feeds on bottom-dwellers, shrimp-like animals that seldom exceed an inch in length, small fish, squid and aquatic crabs. The whales strain these small creatures from the seawater with their rows of outside edged, baleen plates lined around the roof of their mouths. Their initial skin color is black. They get their name from the white barnacles and white blotchy patterns which give an overall appearance of gray. These whales do not have dorsal fins (like dolphins or orcas), but instead have a low round-like hump of flesh followed by a sequence of sharp bumps (or knuckles) extending to their flukes. The flukes are made entirely of cartilage and connective tissue (no bones) and are extremely flexible and strong. The grays begin passing California coasts about Thanksgiving but do not appear in great numbers until Christmas. They can be seen easily from shore since they follow the coast in shallower waters in search for the lagoons. The trick to whale-watching is knowing their breathing habits. They normally take three breaths in roughly half-minute intervals, followed by a three-to-five minute dive. Their flukes are normally thrown out of the water after their third breath to assist in the dive. The whales' "blow" is its breath, which is easily seen because it is ejected hurriedly under great pressure, t he cooling by the pressure-release causes the 10-12 foot high "mist" allowing whale watchers to spot them from boats or land. The southern migration tapers off in February. But the whales can be seen returning north from early March until the end of April. But they don't hug the shoreline as closely going north. Sometimes, though, some grays are seen migrating north just outside the surf-line. Seaforth Sportfishing in San Diego has three daily whale-watching trips on weekends, and two on weekdays. The cost is $12 per adult and $8 per child. Other charters can be taken from H&M Landing and Fisherman's Landing, also in San Diego, at roughly the same rates. For a more extravagant experience, the Royal Hornblower in San Diego follows the whales while offering both dinner and cocktails at a rate of up to $55 per person. But it is considered a 4-5 star restaurant. Also, Helgrens Sportfishing in Oceanside Harbor offers whale-watching excursions for $ 14 per adult and $ 10 per child. Group rates are available at all the above. And, with the exception of the Royal Hornblower, each cruise offers a free trip within the next year if a whale is not sighted. So, if you try this month, keep your eyes open and remember that these large, beautiful mammals once neared extinction. An international treaty was protecting them was signed in 1938, and it is still illegal to harm or harass them in any way. Take advantage of our coastal environment and be thankful you don't live in Kansas. �Grandpa becomes an actor B Y W ILLIAM V ADASY "I need s omeone w ho's been around the block to play the role of the Old Man in Sam Shepard's4 Fool for Love'. You've not only been around the block, but the city as well," said Professor Martinez, the drama teacher. The last time I was drafted was for World War II years ago; this time when I was drafted it would be less stressful, or so I thought! Theater Arts was a class I enrolled in to give me better projection in speaking and help to reduce my anxiety when facing an audience. Little did I dream I would get a part in a big production, especially because of my age! Professor Martinez must have seen something I was not aware of in me because the moment I started to read the lines I became one of those roustabouts who were very common in my era. Mr. Martinez "draped me in Shepard's Old Man's robe" and each rehearsal brought me closer to being him! When I was in my early teens, a long time ago, Saturday afternoon was a big day.

Before the lights went down for the beginning of "pool For Love," pianist Guido Tevini Jr. greeted playgoers with classical Beethoven and Mozart. Tevini, a junior at CSUSM, is planning to change his major from chemistry to music. He also tutors at the Math Center on campus. "I love helping students with their math. It's especially r ewarding when the light goes on," he said. J ack Edward H uff, a T heatre Arts major and senior at C SUSM, uses his talents on stage as well as off. In addition to his role in "Fool for Love," Huff also served as the play's technical director. An experienced performing artist, Huff directed two plays at U.S. Internationa] University at Scripps Ranch. "I would eventually like to get a Ph.D. in the performing arts and teach acting to college students," he said. Other students in the Theatre Arts program assist with lighting, ticketing, costuming and set direction. Dr. Marcos Martinez, head of the department, said students who have always wanted to try acting or are just interested in Visual Performing Arts do not need to major in theatre arts to participate in the program. "We encourage everyone who has always wanted to try theatre to join us," he added. §§• | fMststeiial lining Ktvkw kt SMSU Scti&ms 24 HOW RESERVATION (619) 583-PASS B Y D EBBIE H OLDERBY ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ n ^ e outside, it is an unas M suming gray building.

Lisa Eskan, Theatre Arts major at CSUSM who also played in "Fool For Love" said she used to get in trouble for her voice because her teacher complained it was "too loud." Now that she uses her talents on stage, her strong clear voice is an asset, she seen the day before. (We drew straws to see who would be the hero!) "How much fun it would be to play a real hero, to have a real part," I thought. This was as far as my dreams had gone until they were awakened in my role as the Old Man.Each night as we took our bows, heard the applause of the audience, I found myself back on the farm playing the hero again, living the dream of my youth.

Or maybe a brand name at 20 to 30 percent less than offered at department stores? There's a good chance you'll find what you're looking for at the new Carlsbad Gompany Stores. *The mall is a mix of upscale designer and manufacturers' outlets, art J ^ r n — m galleries and restaurants and is located next to the Car Country Carlsbad just off Interstate 5. Designer shops not found at any other North County location include Donna Karan, Harry & David, Calvin Klein and Barney's New York. Polo Ralph Lauren is scheduled to open later this month. Its designer lines may be discounted 30 percent or more (but also be last season's designs.) This outdoor center features Mediterranean-style architecture with Tuscany flair and courtyards dotted with large palms now leading to a huge Christmas Tree. Shoppers can enjoy "a complete wine country experience" at John and Martha Culbertson's Bellefleur Winery and Restaurant, the first of its kind to open in a shopping center. Other restaurants include Panda Panda and Ruby's Diner scheduled to open next February. A unique art gallery, Spirits in Stone, exhibits Shona Stone Sculptures from Zimbabwe. It features stone art sculptures in various sizes from art that can be carried in the palm of your hand to two-ton pieces for the garden. Prices range from $30 to $33,000. Among the more familiar stores is Carter's Children's Wear, which offers 20 to 25 percent off its entire stock. It featurtes a large layette department and currently has a special on many items priced at $5 and $10. Baby Guess/Guess Kids, OshKosh B'Gosh and The Right Start are other children's stores offering similar discounts. The Gap location includes Baby and Kids Gap with prices 20 to 35 percent less than those found in full-price stores, according to Paul Catherwood, communications manager for Gab Outlets. He said many of the store's fashion lines are specially made for outlets. Some items could be made from fabric that was purchased in excess for a full-price design. The results are similar product at a greatly reduced price. "You can make one stop at this store and find something for everyone in the family," Catherwood said. If you're looking for a great buy in sport shoes, check out Van's, In addition to the low prices on regular stock, it carries seconds at terrific discounts. Reebok is now running the kind of sale that makes it hard to stop buying; the more you buy, the more you save. Buy one T-shirt at $12, the second is $8. Buy a third and the price is $5. Manager Kevin Fretheim said the store takes 25 percent off the top of all merchandise. There are many other shops, but the mall is compact and very easy to get around. fccippilliSl^p am writing to clarify a a higher cost;?Fmrri a financial d dferissues in the article regarding spective, it is more . ^ l i i i i i l i M t a k e courses during the regular acasion courses.

The music, appropriate for any age group, is an upbeat, toe-tapping mix of rhythm and blues and jazz, and it's not the stuff you'll hear on your normal, latest top-40 radio station. All but* four of the 38 songs are faced-paced. The show is about the hopes, struggles, dreams and failures of a three-woman singing group (perhaps modeled on Dianna Ross and the Supremes?) in the early 1970s. The show starts out with the three women beginning at the very bottom by entering a talent contest. Even though they do not win, a music producer noticed them. Eventually the group goes on the road and makes it big, only to find that fame and fortune are not what they're cracked up to be. The girls are betrayed by the people they work for, the press and even their own boyfriends and husbands. They learn that show business is just like any other business, in that a lot depends on who you know, what you look like, and who you're sleeping with rather than what you know or how talented you are. Eventually three break up, and they decide to move on with their lives: realizing they've had enough of show biz. But, they swear to remain friends. Because songs such as, "Only the Beginning," "Heavy," "It's All Over," and "Fake Your Way to the Top," are in the same sequence as the musical, you can follow the story the group story through the album. It can be found under the "Sound Track" section in most music stores. The compact disk sells for about $20 and the tape for about $15. Geffen Records and Tapes produced the album. Tom Eyen, who has two Emmy Awards for previous musicals as well as a Grammy award for Best Cast Album for "Dream Girls", wrote the lyrics.

Physical comedy makes for mindless f un B Y D EBBIE H OLDERBY ^ n r ^ J h e world is divided between those who love British humor, and those who don't. But both groups probably would agree that Bean is the utmost in British silliness. Rowan Atkinson, - JL. a British comedian well known for his physical antics, stars in this comedy of errors that was loved by the Brits. The San Diego Union-Tribune reported that the movie was rumored to have made more than $100 million in Europe, an unusually large figure for that market. Bean (Is it Mr. or Dr.? No, just Bean) is a childlike dope who tries to fit in, but rarely succeeds. He is a guard at the Royal National Gallery in England, and the board members of the Gallery would dearly love to getridof him. No wonder, the Gallery sends Bean to the United States for the unveiling of a priceless painting, "Whistler's Mother." As a representative of the UK, Bean is treated like an honored guest, but the royal treatment is clearly wasted on him. The American family he stays with is afraid their honored guest will look like "Meatloaf's butt" but soon discovers that Bean is more of an ass more in action than looks. Bean is a man of few words and his vocabulary is limited to grunts and one-word sentences. A high point of the film is when he is shoved to the front of the room and forced to give a speech at the unveiling of "Whistler's Mother." Need Extra $$$$ .r 3 The physical humor in the movie is hilarious, particularly one scene involving the stuffing of a turkey. But the film's portrayal of Bean's hosts a Los Angeles family, is rather flat and boring. The American family is pretentious and too concerned with appearances. But this does serve to endear the unassuming Bean to the audience. This is a movie for the adolescent young and the young at heart, and definitely not for the seriousminded. No thinking required.

The murder and the courtroom drama is like driving to Barstow, it takes too long to get there and when you do, there's nothing there. What c arries the f ilm f or Eastwood, however, is the unique o ddn^s of the characters. Veteran actor Spacey is perfectly cast as the creepy but ostentatious antique dealer with a passion for lavish displays of wealth and power. Cusack also gives a strong performance as the likable and witty author, despite the lack of a strong script. Minerva (Irma T. Hall), the voodoo priestess, has just the right mix of queerness and mystery for the part even though the script seems to fail her, too, with far-fetched rituals of the occult. Eastwood strays from tradition by using a handful of characters playing themselves, including Lady Chablis, a transvestite in full color. If you can stay awake long enough, be sure to Mesa catch her antics at the black debutante ball. The best performance, however, is not by Cusack, Spacey, Hall or Lady Chablis. It's by Spacey *s lawyer, Jack Thompson.Plot aside, it's the surrealistic quality of the characters that carries the film. As Kelso describes Savannah to a friend over the phone, "It's like "Gone With the Wind' on Mescaline." That "mescaline" quality that Kelso speaks of, however, refers to the more abstract characters in the movie, the dignified old man who walks "Patrick," an imaginary dog, the people who stop to pet Patrick and the strange but endearing recluse who carries a small vial in his pocket containing enough poison to kill the entire town. Even if you're able to stay awake long enough to be amused by the all the oddities of Savannah, you're apt to be disappointed by the ending of the movie. The reappearance of the victim has the effect of taking whatever credibility Eastwood may have earned and blowing it away like a puff of smoke.

The ethnic studies department has even less support; there is no budget staff or clerical support, and it is offered only as a minor. "It's not accidental, it's historical," said Dr. Linda Pershing, associate professor, women's studies. "The student and faculty population based on 2002's enrollment is 63 percent of the students enrolled in classes were women. One-third of those students were from diverse backgrounds." Dr. Pershing was the first full-time staff hired for the women's studies department in 2001. This was one of the first majors offered at CSUSM and was started by Joan Gunderson back in 1983. Dr. Pershing had to step downfromchair of her department. She said it was an overload and that she cannot run the whole thing on her back and put in 80 hours a week.

The can By ALEX ROSALINO Pride StaffWriter S PRINTER set to rail 2 005 possible future alternative to CSUSM parking passes By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride StaflfWriler North San Diego County Transit District (NCTD) is working on a $351.5 million plan that may eliminate uncertainties facing many students in regard to whether they will have a parking space at Cal State San Marcos or not. NCTD has been planning to connect Oceanside to Escondido with a light rail line since 1986, but the plan has been brewing in the bureaucratic coffeepot ever since. Only recently did the federal government give NCTD a grant of $152 million to commence the project. Currently, there is no parking structure for students at Cal State San Marcos. Rather than paying $158 for a parking permit, some students have been opting to park off-campus, uncertain if they will be ticketed or towed. This uncertainty may be more cost-effective in the long run, depending only on these students not being ticketed or towed. Students at CSUSM who look around campus may come to the conclusion that most of the buildings they see are named after private donors whofinancedthem. However, it is very unlikely that the parking structure that is beingfinancedby the students will be named after them. The pending project will give future students at CSUSM a choice between financing parking structures and paying for a bus pass. Jamone Moore, senior, psychology, said, "I think it's good J OIN T HE P RIDE STAFF N EXT S EMESTER as long as there's a student discount; parking is ridiculous." Currently, San Diego Mass Transit System charges students that go to SDSU $108 for the semester pass and $65 for UCSD students, both of which are good for unlimited use. According to NCTD spokesman Tom Kelleher, NCTD is trying to create a student discount similar to that in the San Diego transit system. "We are currently doing a fare study and are looking at a semester pass for students," Kelleher said. NCTD formally gave the light rail line the name "Sprinter" last February, for its energetic starts and smooth stops. According to NCTD, the Sprinter will connect the Coaster, Amtrak, NCTD's bus service, the BREEZE, Mira Costa College, Palomar College and Cal State San Marcos at La Moree Road. This has the potential to reduce traffic by putting thousands of people on mass transportation. The Sprinter is expected to carry as many as 12,000 people by the end of thefirstyear. That number is expected to grow, as people become more dependent on mass transportation. NCTD explains that by creating a more efficient means of mass transportation, pollution will in turn subside. No overhead lines are needed for the Sprinter as it is powered by a low emission high-tech diesel engine. The groundbreaking ceremony has been delayed a couple of months, but the actual date of completion has not. According to Kelleher, the rail line is to be completed by the end of 2005.

Her major is human development, though she's thinking of changing her major, because what she is really interested in is counseling. She works parttime at a veterinary hospital, the "Village Vet Hospital" in Escondido. "I really like animals. I grew up on a horse ranch." Audrey lives in Vista with herfianceRick White, and her two cats, Oscar, and Gracie. Wedding Bells Audrey and Rick plan on getting married next year. "We actually just set it (the date) a week ago," June 19, 2004. "It's weird because I've known him for three years, but been engaged for like two," Schenck said. "I've always been the engaged Photo by Nicole Sullivan/77je Pride one, but never the bride." When asked where they met, she laughed and told me that it was a little embarrassing. "We met at The Temecula Stampede." Her friends wanted her to go. "I was dreading going. I didn't know how to country line-dance and I was like 4 how geeky.'" While at the stampede, "he asked me to dance, and was so charming." She laughed and told me, "I fit right in at San Marcos, I'm not single." She's really excited that Christmas is coming up. "This is the first Christmas that we get to spend together. We'll get our first Christmas tree." Audrey's Day It was Monday morning around eleven fifteen. Between classes, Audrey agreed to be interviewed. When asked about her day, she said, "I'm not a morning person. I was tired." After she woke up, she had to hit the snooze button, and then her cat Oscar ran around the apartment. "I hit snooze and yelled at him (Oscar)." He jumps on Audrey every morning. "I was watching a client's cat. It needs medicine two times a day." She was running late. "It takes half an hour (to get ready). I'm usually late. I'll be late to my own funeral! I think I can get dressed and out of there in an hour, but that never happens. Something always happens, like I can't find a shoe or whatever." On her way to school, "I ran into a lot of traffic and parked in the boonies!" Her first class was linguistics, then she gets a one hour break, and takes a class called Human Impact On The Environment. When asked about that class, she told me "It's interesting; I'm kind of a nature girl, so it's great to see how humans have an impact on the environment, and what effects they have." After school, Audrey plans on going home, sitting on the couch, and watching some TV, and maybe doing some reading. A udrey S chenek a nd her fiance hug e ach other.

"Our biggest advantage as a major is that it qualifies students for a broad range of jobs," said Dr. Araceli Soriano, the department's chair.

It just depends on the student." The recent establishment of the Human Development Club provides human development majors with a friendly, informative environment for exploring the career opportunities available to them. "The club that the stude'nts started has created a greater interest and awareness about and within the program," Soriano said.

Program options for students seeking abachelor's degree include accounting, financing, global business management, high technology management, service sector management, or a minor in business administration. A final option for senior students is the "Senior Experience." The "Senior Experience" is a two semester, academic endeavor that gives students the opportunity to work in groups with local business organizations on real-world projects to gain experience as they leap from students to nine-to-fivers. The college of business masters program (MBA) at CSUSM is more generalized into management and leadership in either the public or private sector.

Regina Eisenbach, associate dean of business, said, "We're using our resources the best way, and are careful in what we offer, making sure students can finish the curriculum before graduation." A great tool and asset of students undertaking the challenges of the business college curriculum are their Associated Students, Inc. representatives, Nicole Rawski and Adam Taylor. Elected by the students, these public officials are the middlemen of the business student body and the faculty and administration. College of Business Representative Adam Taylor said, "Our job is to keep students informed and aware of the availability of resources, basically, giving students in the business of college a voice." On budget cuts to the department Taylor said, "Business professors cost more, so we're taking bigger cuts, and really feeling the full force of CSUSM's cutbacks." On a lighter note, Taylor informed that the groundbreaking for a brand new business building will be commencing this academic year. Additional mediums for CSUSM business students include the valuable networking of the extensive Alumni Association and other business oriented organizations available on campus. M aintaining b alance i n a ll a reas ByMARKPERRERA Pride StaffWriter It is 4:00 a.m. and already in homes across America you can hear the pitter patter of tiny feet. These are familiar sounds of children going back and forth, as their parents are getting them ready for routine trips to day care or the baby sitter. This is the grim reality of working families trying their utmost best to balance work, school, and family responsibilities. Melanie Irvine, a graduate student at CSUSM, is fortunate to have not only the support of her husband - her job is also supporting her. She is a third grade teacher at Pacific Rim Elementary School in Carlsbad. It is a blessing to have both husband and work force supportive in the achievement of Irvine's goals. Irvine advised those who would like to take up this challenge to be "prepared to be committed andflexible."She is focused on getting her masters in Literacy education. Roleen Strathmeyer is an undergraduate student majoring in Liberal Studies. She used to work full time until her job restricted her from taking necessary classes due to mandated overtime. The long and tedious hours she was forced to work overextended the time necessary to complete eight units; it took her one whole year. Strathmeyer realized this drawn out marriage of work and school was keeping i .A her from what she desired scholastically. ^Making the decision and following the financially frustrating path, she left her job and attended school full time. This has renewed her commitment to school. Her husband Jeff is a graduate student at UCSD and supports Strathmeyer, yet the maintenance of a good marriage can be found in the long weekends at the UCSD library. Strathmeyer smiles, "at least we're in the same vicinity together." My wife Charlotte is a tremendous help and asset to me. Our kids are still young and stay in daycare because we both work. Pursuing a degree in communication, my time away from home extends beyond my job. We both share the responsibilities of taking care of the kids and having someone available in case of emergencies.

El invierno esta aquí y la palabra "Navidad" se escucha por todos lados. En el mundo latino no existe tradición más universal que la celebración de las festividades del mes de Diciembre. Su sola mención trae emociones, excitación y alegría en niños, días de diversión y fiesta en jóvenes y esperanza de reencuentro y reunión con familias y amigos para todos. Para los latinos, el mes de Diciembre es de los más importantes del año. No hay nada mejor para los latinos que celebrar la Navidad en sus países de origen. Sin embargo, muchos de los latinos que vivimos aquí en los Estados Unidos no podemos ir a nuestros países y celebrar la Navidad allá, pero tratamos de continuar y revivir nuestras tradiciones estando aquí. Las tradiciones de Navidad en los países latinoamericanos son muy similares, pero cada país tiene una manera especial de celebrarla, al igual que cada familia. La religión que predomina entre los latinos es la religión católica, lo cual contribuye a que la mayoría de las tradiciones sean basadas en la religión católica. Las tradiciones de navidad latinas se identifican con las posadas, las piñatas, los regalos, los cuetes, la noche buena, las pastorelas, etc. Por ejemplo, en México las celebraciones principales son: comenzando con el primer domingo de adviento, en el que se lleva a la iglesia a bendecir una corona decorada de acuerdo a cada familia con cinco velas (tres moradas, una rosa y una blanca). Cada domingo se enciende una vela, se hace una oración hasta el día de Navidad en la que se encienden las cinco durante la cena. El día 16 de Diciembre comienzan -las posadas que representan la travesía de María y José durante los nueve meses. Sé pide posada cantando una letanía, se rompe la piñata, se toma ponche y se reparten los aguinaldos. Los católicos van á la "Misa del Gallo" (o a la del día siguiente, Navidad). Para la cena de Nochebuena, se sirve el pavo (o las gallinas), pupusas (tortillas con especias, tomate y carne de res o pollo) y aquellos que les quede apetito, ensalada también. Listen P rocess.

El 28 de Diciembre se celebra el día de los santos inocentes, jugándole bromas a los conocidos, aunque realmente representa el día en que el rey Heródes mandó matar a todos los menores de dos años temiendo perder su reino! En San José de Costa Rica, en el día de Navidad, la ciudad se ilumina de manera muy especial, a lo cual se añaden las luces de Bengala, cohetes, fuegos artificiales. Abren parques de diversiones con toboganes, carruseles y ruedas de la fortuna. Para los adultos hay ruletas, tiros al blanco, la famosa lotería y toda clase de juegos de azar. Se presentan corridas de toros mansos con toreros aficionados, partidos de fútbol y carreras de ciclistas. Todo esto, después de los bailes populares y familiares que siguieron a la cena de Nochebuena. Es larga la lista de actividades y tradi- ciones que los países latinos hacen durante el mes de diciembre. Los latinos que estamos aquí en los Estados Unidos tratamos de revivir esas tradiciones bonitas que nos recuerdan a nuestros países, y los que pueden viajan a ellos durante este mes para reunirse con sus familiares. Una de las tradiciones que tratamos de revivir los latinos en los Estados Unidos son las Pastorelas. Este pasado 5 y 6 de Diciembre, el Centro de la Artes de Escondido ofreció la obra de la pastorela presentada en español y por estudiantes de la Universidad de San Marcos y de otras escuelas de la región. Esta obra presentó canciones^ bailables de varias regiones de México, así como la popular y tradicional historia de el nacimiento del niño Jesús y el camino a Belén, ofreciendo a su público parte de las bonitas tradiciones Latinoamericanas. A b oost o f e nergy, t he h elathy a lternative By TABIKA ROJAS Pride Staff Writer Students often lead busy lives. Most juggle schoolwork, employment, family life, and social activities. Some have early morning classes and skip breakfast or have classes straight through lunch. Skipping meals can make it difficult to stay sharp during class time. A recent poll that I conducted of CSUSM students suggests that most use a common method to stay alert during their school day, and that is eating. Eating seems to be a popular choice among most students, and it's not just any food that students are reaching for to give them an energy boost, but snack foods. More times than not, students head to the nearest vending machine to grab that big bag of chips or candy bar to satisfy their hunger pains, and help keep them awake during classes. According to Dr. Karen Nicholson of Student Health Services there are some important things to remember when choosing a healthy snack. "Reading the nutritional label and knowing the fat content is one important step in choosing a healthy snack," Nicholson said. Also, Nicholson warns students that just because a label states, "low fat," doesn't necessarily mean it is good for you. She says there is good fat and bad fat and knowing the difference is key. Staying away form hydrogenated palm oils, a type of fat, and concentrating on monounsatu- "Knowing the fat content is one important step in choosing a healthy snack." rated fats is some advice that she gives. Finally, Nicholson said, "get your five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, and tomato sauce on a pizza does not count." One way to ensure that you get your fruits and vegetables is to shop ahead of time and bring fresh fruits and veggies in a baggie to class for a snack. Lowfat muffins or breads such/as pumpkin, zucchini, or banana are also healthy snacks. For those who want further information, individual nutrition counseling is available with Cathy Nguyen, the health educator at Student Health Services. �L ETTERS TO THE E DITOR Good food can be found in the Dome Ryan Mock's article "Food at "for outside companies to have CSUSM tastes so bad when it profitable operations here."

Trouble R< SHARED G OVERNANCE ByDIDILUND Pride StaffWriter The university depends on shared governance to maintain credibility and grant various powers to the students. This shared governance essentially means that the university has allowed students to sit on a variety of committees — committees that dictate all sorts of things that directly affect students and their pocketbooks. Everything from parking fees to academic majors, grade appeals to campus beautification is addressed in these committees. Decisions made directly affect students, who should therefore be involved in the decision making process. Unfortunately, that ideal is not always realized. Although many administrators would like to see the seats filled by students, it's difficult to get them to sit on these committees when work and class schedules leave few moments to spare. Even when the student seats are filled, these committees are not always utilized. Early last year, the parking fee increase proposal was submitted to the student fee advisory committee, who informed then CSUSM President Gonzalez of their recommendation. The fee increase would be a burden on the students, they said. It's too steep. Gonzalez and the powers that be remained silent on the parking increase until, two weeks before the end of the semester; they announced a huge fee increase. The advisory committee's recommendation was effectively thrown in the garbage and students were outraged. This disregard to the student fee committee demonstrates the lack of power we students have on this campus. We are given these advisory committees as tokens; students have no real power influencing the policies being developed which govern our lives. It's politics as usual. Last week, Arnold proposed $23.7 million in cuts to the CSU system after he reassured students in the higher education system by promising no cuts. "Education is my passion and Cali- By TABIKA ROJAS Pride StaffWriter Photo by Elizabeth Baldwin/The Pride "Everything from parking fees to a cademic majors, grade appeals to c ampus beautification is addressed in these c ommittees/' forma is not where it should be," he said. That's right; it's not. When students can't even afford to pay their parking fees, there's a problem. Recently the CSSA has co-authored AB-550, a bill designed to implement a statewide student fee advisory committee, a body made up of mostly students who would deliberate over proposed fee increases coming from the Board of Trustees. In its original form, this proposition would allow the students power to kick the proposals back to the legislation if they felt the fees were unrealistic or disrespecting students' abilities to pay these fees while still maintaining access to quality education. That's shared governance. However, this bill has been revised so that this committee would be powerless in changing proposed fee cuts but maintain an advisory status. Still, it's a step in the right direction. Until our legislators allow us to have a real say in the policies which govern our lives, shared governance will continue to be a form of politically correct rhetoric for our policy makers and politics as usual will continue hacking away at our pocketbooks. Recently I have experienced some frustration with trying to create my schedule for the spring semester. I am a Literature and Writing major here at CSUSM and like many students I must try to balance my school schedule with work and family life. This has not always been easy, especially when the classes I need are only offered once a semester and at one scheduled time. Some of the classes are either too early or too late in the afternoon and conflict with my work schedule. I know that I am not alone in this complaint as I have heard several students with the same problem. Karen Hart, a senior here at CSUSM said, "I had to rearrange my job schedule in order to enroll in one of the classes I need to graduate because it was only offered at one time during the day." I contacted the Literature and Writing Department and spoke with the Department Chair of Literature and Writing Studies who is responsible for creating the schedule, Dr. Susie Cassel. Cassel said, "there are only about two hundred Literature and Writing majors here at CSUSM and that is not enough students to offer the classes at a variety of times." She further explained that all Core classes are offered in the same semester. When I asked her about solutions such as online courses or independent study courses, Dr. Cassel explained that independent study courses are offered, and they have done many over the years. "The only drawback to the independent study courses is the students don't get the benefit of discussion," said Cassel. The independent study courses are also not allowed for courses that are offered regularly. WÈÊÊÊËÊÈË Instructors are able to conduct 1 online courses and those students interested should feel free to 0 approach their instructors with the request. Dr. Cassel also says she tries to make sure that all the courses are in different time slots each semester in order to give every student the ••3 opportunity to take the courses. Night courses are also now being «¡11 piloted tofindout if enough students CSUSM students are interested in a night program. have become used to seeing classes full or 309B is offered this semester, and cancelled online. 309A will be offered at night in the spring semester, so all students interested in a night program should enroll in these courses. Dr. Cassel also wants students to know that if enough students were interested in a course being offered at a specific time she would be willing to offer it. Dr. Cassel ended by saying, "I welcome complaints suggestions or comments. I have an open door policy" �THE PRIDE Tuesday, December 9, 2003 1 1 IT'S A LL A BOUT S ELL YOUR B OOKS FOR CA$H NOW!

Here's what they liked: #1 Photo Courtesy of Buena Vista Pictures "Ernest Saves Christmas," starring Jjm Varney, is the story of how Santa Clause decides to retire and hire someone else to take his place, however, the real Santa ends up in jail, and it is up to Ernest, played by Varney, to get him out. Photo Courtesy of Warner Brothers The Second favorite movie was "A Christmas Story," starring Peter Billingsley. This movie takes place in the 1940's, and is a classic story of a boy's holiday dream to get the one thing that he desires for Christmas. Unfortunately, in his case, he desires a BB gun. Disapproving of the idea, his mother repeatedly crushes his dreams by replying^ "you'll shoot your eye out." "Ernest is the man!" -Paul Han "It was so funny when the kid wanted that BB gun, his whole family was hilarious. It's a classic Christmas movie." -Sarah Blakely "I've watched it with my family every Christmas, so it brings back memories." -Mike Zahalan Photo Courtesy of Paramount Pictures "Up In Smoke" "It's Full of action." —Cory Haynes Photo Courtesy of Warner Brothers Photo Courtesy of 20th Century Fox 'Tlome Alone," starring Macaulay Culkin, is the story of a young 8-year-old boy who was accidentally left at home while his rather large family went on a vacation to Europe for Christmas. Left to his own defenses, he battles burglars, played by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern, who try to rob his parents' house. Out of the people surveyed on campus, many said that "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" was their favorite movie to see during the holidays. Starring Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo, this slapstick comedy is a comforting reminder that there's someone out there with a family that's crazier than our own. "Chevy Chase is comedy!" -Cole Kristensen "Because it is a classic." - Chad Medina #5 "Why? It's hilarious. " -André Rosemond Photo Courtesy of Warner Brothers "The Green Mile" "It teaches that a person shouldn't be judged by skin color and should be given a fair chance to defend themselves." -Patricia Guevarra Photo Courtesy of Dimension Films Photo Courtesy of Sony Wonder "Frosty The Snowman," which has many cartoon movie versions, is a classic Christmas story that has been a favorite movie for many generations. "Bad Santa" is a new movie, starring Billy Bob Thorton and Lauren Graham. It is the story of a drinking, smoking, filthy-mouthed, sexobsessed Santa impersonator, who steals from department store safes over the holiday seasons with his elf partner, played by Tony Cox. "The movie was great, lots of comedy, and I had a great time watching it." -Maria Arroya t Photo Courtesy of New Line Cinema "Friday After Next" "Because it's very funny" —Jamal Tate � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Last semester, I woke up and realized that I had alternatives. The alternative I chose was VarsityBooks.com. VarsityBooks.com not only saved me money, but it allowed me to avoid the hassles of the bookstore during the peak back-to-school rush. Because I appreciated my textbook purchasing experience so much with VarsityBooks.com, I decided to become an on-campus marketing representative for the company to spread the word to other Cal State students. In my marketing efforts, school authorities told me that I could only market VarsityBooks.com in limited areas (very limited). If these rules applied to all companies outreaching to students on campus I would understand, but when I found out that it was only other bookstores that had these limited marketing rules, I was extremely disturbed. Why does our school not want their students to be informed of their options to buy from alternative more affordable textbook sources? Textbooks are a necessity and it is important that we have alternatives to the bookstore. Now that other options exist, it is important that students know. VarsityBooks.com has empowered students with choice and brings competition to the bookstore market. This can only end in lower prices and better services for all Cal State students. As this Letter-to-the.-Editor is the only way I can express my feelings, I invite all Cal State students to join me in visiting www.varsitybooks.com when you purchase your books this semester. Thank you, Wes Gordon Voices By Joni Miller- P RIDE S TAFF W RITER While perusing the weekly Reader, I found my answer to "What to do on a rainy weekend?" A small little notice read: " 'Voices of Freedom,' an afternoon of 'lightening and thunder cultural poetry' is promised on Sunday, January 16, at 3:00p.m. at the Cesar Chavez Resource Center." An interesting way to spend the afternoon I surmised. As I read further, I noticed that Cal State San Marcos' own Professor Sharon Elise was among the participants that were going to be present. Having heard her passionate prose many times, I knew it would be an event worthy of partaking. I immediately grabbed my jacket and my partner Carol, and off we went to an edifying poetry repast. As we approached the center on San Diego Street in Oceanside, we were welcomed by the sound of Native American drumming from within. Six men sat in a circle around a large drum, each beating in uni son, as their voices chanted in spiritual song. At first perhaps only twenty-five people were present, though a steady stream of latecomers eventually filled the small informal gathering. As usual, Dr. Elise brought the house down with her most dramatic reading of all, "Lock Up". This poem is included in her published collection entitled "Black, In a Tight, White, Space." Other notables of San Diego's poet society who were present were Sam Hemod, Adolpho Guzman Lopez, Jihmye Collins, and Jim Matakey. But the afternoon was not just to sit back and enjoy; the gathering was a political event to raise awareness about the current three-strike law in California. The basic message was to get people involved in supporting legislation limiting the 3-strikes law. to Violent Offenses. For those of you who may want information on the three-strike law, you can find it4 on the web at http.V/www.factslxom. or by contacting the North County Chapter of Families to Amend California's Three-Strikes at (760) 726-1095 No matter what your political persuasion may be, it is always a wise decision to be informed. So often we fail to pay attention to laws enacted upon us, until they affect someone we know. Be involved, be active in your community, and choose the laws you want to live by. What's Up In Politics?

My irritation at yet another seemingly arbitrary deadline deepened into unease when I read the text of the policy. It seemed I would be giving away more than my signature by acknowledging the policy. For those who haven't read it, the policy (among other things) prohibits t heuse of the university computer system for the transmission of "unsolicited information" (such as e-mail or posting to a news group) which is deemed by any recipient to be "offensive/' "inappropriate," or "obscene." Furthermore, by using the system, I "expressly submit to tracking and/or monitoring" of my communication by the university. Violation of the policy will result in the loss of computing privileges, an action that may prevent me from completing courses needed for graduation. Unfortunately, the agreement was all too familiar to me. I had to sign something very similar when I worked for a big corporation. I wasn't happy about signing it then, but I understood. A Corporation's concerns are not free expression or academic license. A Corporation is concerned with making money and protecting itself from liability. But the university is not a corporation. Or is it? Many people see policies such as this one as just another indicator of the ongoing Corporatization of public education, the demand that education be more self-supporting, that it be more convenient and easier to digest, the push to provide quantity at the expense of quality. Add to these the tipping of the scales away from freedom of expression and toward protection from liability, and the university system comes one step closer to becoming just another company that provides a service. Getting a college degree becomes not an experience that transforms your life, but just another product you pay for, like a new car or a wide screen TV. I had other questions about the policy. How would I know if a recipient would find something offensive before I sent it? How would the university define obscenity? I communicated my concerns to the university, and SUBMIT YOUR LETTERS TO THE EDITORS TO THE PRIDE was told that they wouldn't need to define obscenity beeause the courts already have. But, although courts have ruled on specific cases, they have not, to my knowledge, ever defined obscenity beyond Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart's assertion in the 1970's that he "knows it when he sees it." Will that also be the yardstick used by the university? Of course, the policy explicitly states that the computer network is to be used only for assigned course work, research, or campus activities. The administration will tell you that anyone who feels compelled to spout offensive, inappropriate, obscene, unsolicited information i s f ree to obtain inexpensive Internet access from one of the nine zillion providers out there. In other words, they aren't trying to squelch your free spirit, they are merely preventing you from exercising it on state property. But what about approved uses? What if a professor of an on-line class assigns a novel with sex scenes, or an art text with nude subjects? Does it violate the policy? Probably not. What if the professor is unpopular with the administration or is active in the union? Does it violate the policy now? Who knows? What about a student who submits copy to this newspaper via the school computer network? Isn't the content of a student newspaper sometimes offensive, and rightly so? I have found that I am not the only person who objects to this policy. Almost everyone I have spoken with who understands its implications have signed it under duress, because they fear the consequences of ignoring it. I am concerned about these issues, not because I want to use the campus computer network to "spam" you with porn or incite a revolution, but because I think the spirit of a university exists not in bottom lines or in liability issues but in the free exchange of ideas, in an environment where people feel at liberty to speak their minds, without repercussions. The university says the policy is meant to preserve academic freedom, not to restrict it. But we may find that this version of academic freedom, in which we are judged not by our characters but by the content of our e-mail, does not feel so free.

We can create and offer ideas that will help the establishment of our University. With this in mind, I propose that we as students of CSU San Marcos be positive in every ^ ay as we attend our University. Let's make our college years the best! Sure, we may find a little problem along the way, but rather than dwell on it and criticize the negative, let's find a way to make it positive. One way to achieve such a goal is to join ASI. I find that there are many clubs and committees where I can give ideas and get involved with campus issues and developments. Join me in trying to keep our college years memorable. Let's help our University grow! Be positive and stay motivated!

What they really want to know is f they're likely to end up there as veil. I can't answer the real ques:ion. All I can tell you is ... it's sasy." — Susanna Kaysen Based on the best-selling nemoir by writer Susanna SCaysen, Girl, Interrupted is a [>owerful film that questions the xmndaries between sanity/madless, friendship/betrayal, and reedom/imprisonment. The film stars two-time \ cademy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner Winona Ryder, two-time Golden Globe winner Angelina Jolie, and Academy Award winners Whoopi Goldberg and Vanessa Redgrave. Set in 1967, the film chronicles the experiences of 18-year-old Susanna Kaysen. Kaysen, played by Winona Ryder, is diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, which is "manifested by uncertainty about self-image, long-term goals, types of friends or lovers to have, and which values to adopt." Despite the fact that such a diagnosis could be made about many people, her parents send Kaysen to Claymoore, a mental hospital. The remainder of the film is dedicated to Kay sen's experience Administrative at Glaymoore, the friendships she makes, and the choices she must make to become healthy. The film is filled with exemplary performances, heartfelt drama, and dry humor. The character of Lisa, played by Angelina Jolie, is a spectacular heroic villain, whose forthrightness is captivating, to say the least. Though it lacks the elegant cinematography of European and independent films, all in all, Girl, Interrupted is not to be missed. Running Time: 125 minutes MPAA rating: ' R' for strong language and content relating to drugs, sexuality and suicide. Services and A Ma Zone, die fourth release of the internationally renowned PRIDE EDITOR a cappella group Zap Mama, is a rhythmic and compelling compilation which combines the groups more traditional vocals with the sounds of western hip-hop and R & B. Diverging from the group's primarily vocal basis, lead singer Marie Daulne has taken the group's sound to a new place in her own exploration of the musical influences of her youth. "Our mother would make us learn the polyphonic singing, but at the time we thought it was boring because it was traditional," stated Daulne. Unlike the group's first three albums, which relied mostly on traditional polyphonic vocals, in A Ma Zone, Daulne returned to the R & B and Hip-Hop which had proved so much more compelling to the teenage girl who found polyphonic vocals "boring" and "traditional." The result is a spectacular combination of traditional, Swahili and Wolof and Pygmy vocals alongside French and English, all set to hip-hop and R & B beats with Funk grooves. In addition to a compelling sound, the album, like Daulne's other, is laden with political and social commentary.

We hope the following responses shed some light on our continuing effort to serve your information needs." - Bonnie Biggs, Assistant to the D ean, & Coordinator f or Public S ervices, Library & Information Services The new lights in the cubicles and general library are lOx's better. Thank you! Now I like to study in here, it doesn't seem so dark. Yes! We are so pleased with the improved l ighting. The new building (open in 2003) will have a lot of natural light! Later hours. More hours. Longer hours on Saturday and Sunday. The answer to your requests is budget. The library has not been able t o a dd P ublic Services s taff since 1994, though our student body has grown significantly since then. We simply do not have the bodies to cover all the hours students would like us to be open. I j ust wanted to say that the circulation desk staff is very helpful, especially T iffany and Allison. Please tell them they are doing a great j ob at the library. I am a freshman here and they have helped me find my way around and find the information I needed. I think the staff at the front desk is doing an awesome j ob. All are extremely friendly, polite, f un, and helpful. No need to change a thing. I just wanted to compliment the wonderful front desk staff at the library. There are two girls there who are always helpful and nice. I really appreciate everything they do. Thanks f or the positive feedback. S taff i n the P ublic Services area is committed to providing student-centered service every single day. It would be nice if you folks could place one of the large reference dictionaries on the second floor like the ones found on the first floor. This is an excellent idea. We have ordered a Random House Webster's College Dictionary for the Fourth Floor. By the late afternoon, the M en's restroom is usually trashed and there are no towels. It would be nice if the maintenance dept. could give the restroom(s) a quick clean-up in the early afternoon so that the evening students who use the library (like myself) are not thoroughly disgusted by the conditions of the restroom. Also, I like the new lights and rearrangements. The more private study carrels the better. The larger "group study" tables only attract noise and conversation and I would suggest eliminating them completely. We forwarded your complaint about the men's restroom . to our Facilities Services office. We hope y ou've noticed an improvement. We get numerous requests for group study s paces, as professors are requiring more collaborative projects - so, we won't be eliminating the group study areas but in the new library, we plan to have plenty of private and group study spaces. Parking needs to have some kind of sign with the library schedule posted. It's not fair f or non-students who have an awful time with parking not to have easy access before paying f or parking.* This is a very good suggestion. We contacted Parking Services and they are happy to help us out. We will be delivering a handout with library hours to the new parking kiosk later today. There is far too much talking going on in the supposedly "Quiet" study areas of the library. Any student should have the right to come to the library to study in complete silence without being disturbed by less serious students who think it might be "neat" to chat here. I feel that a librarian should check once in a while to attempt to eliminate this problem. Some LARGE SIGNS saying "NO TALKING" may be a step in the right direction. I would b e happy to print and post these signs myself. We regret that the library is not always as quiet as you would like. It is simply too small to ensure noise-free areas. We do have signs posted on the 4**1 Floor that , read "Quiet Study Area". We have found that students reminding fellow students about disruptive behavior works well. Out of 4 copiers in the library, only one worked! The print was so bad I could hardly see it! The machines have been printing this way f or a least one week, probably more. This is totally ridiculous! materials you cannot find. Yes! We too were very frustrated with the performance and quality of our copiers. Right before fall semester, we replaced 3 of the 4 copiers with higher quality machines. Please open an extra week before finals. In fall of 1997 the library responded to an ASI request to extend open hours during finals. We rearranged staff and student assistant hours in the library and Media. For the fall 1999 semester, the library will have extended hours between December 8 - 1 4 . We will be open until 10:00 p.m. Dec. 8, 9 13 & 14 and open at 11:00 a.m. on Dec. 11 & 12. I was frustrated when searching for children's books. Nearly all of the books that were listed are in Spanish. I understand that i t's important to have books available in Spanish, but it would also be nice to have children's books in English available as well. We have a sizable collections of children's books in English. The titles you located in Spanish are part of the special collection - "The Center for the Study of Books in Spanish for Children & Adolescents". Try limiting your search o n the PAC with "juv" and you'll be able to peruse our juvenile collection. It would be great if Annex materials could be requested online. The library should devise a system so that books can be renewed via the computer, check due dates and fines. All good suggestions. Our library systems group is working on a new system upgrade. We are hoping it will provide patrons with the ability to renew materials and place holds on Annex materials online by the spring 2000 semester. You can check your circulation records and any fines by going into the library's PAC, select Electronic Resources, CSUSM Catalog, and then select View Your Own Record. Simply type in your name and barcode number. Note: you must have something checked out or have fines, or nothing will show up.

Please make an appointment with a reference librarian who will be happy to help you locate for presentation practice. Thanks! The Media Library staff are known f or their customerfocused service!

Haynes' address to the community titled, "Building Vital Communities," will be held from 7:30 to 9 a.m. at the Clarke Field House on Thursday, February 3, 2005.

As part of a new plan to alleviate flooding in front of University Hall and in lower level classrooms when it rains, Facility Services hired Good and Roberts contracting to regrade and install a better drainage system. The construction has resulted in a large trench and fenced off area in front of the building. According to Assistant Director of Facility Services Steve Waiters, the project began over the semester break and was scheduled to have been completed before classes resumed.

The APSS was collecting money in front of the library all last week between 10 a.m. and 2 pm. All donations received are to be given to the International Relief Team. Vice President of the APSS, Aamara Ysrael said that the amount donated was a result of not being, "able to publicize, due to the last minute planning of the event." BY CHEZARE MILO Pride Staff Writer Thinking about those who have sacrificed their lives in the war in Iraq was the goal of a memorial entitled "Arlington West" held in the large lawn adjacent to the Kellogg Library and Forum Plaza. The CSUSM College Democrats along with the Progressive Activist Network (PAN) and off-campus organization Veterans for Peace staged the memorial on Tuesday January 25. According to the Vice President of the College Democrats, Sarah Leonard, what originally started out as the efforts of about four people grew as students from the Women's Studies Student Association (WSSA) and the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender alliance (LBGT) pitched in to help set up the event.

Student opinions about the trench and fenced off area varied. Some didn't seem to mind the inconvenience, while others complained about the site. "It's not really getting in my way," said student Clinton McCook. "It makes me exercise, but it's better than puddles," said student Coral Bruni. Expressing her displeasure, student Kay Nguyen said the construction area, "Sucks, it's right in the middle of everything." Citing heavy rains in December and January as the cause of the construction delays, Waiters said that, weather permitting the work is expected to be completed, "within a couple of weeks." i K^liPP' BY BRIAN EBBIT Pride Staff Writer Photo courtesy of College Democrats ting up there was a large W grown in the lawn, apparently from someone overfertilizing the grass in that shape.

When asked to describe who belongs to Mensa, Catherine Barney, American Mensa Public Relations Manager, said there is no stereotypical Mensan. "Mensans are as diverse a group as you'll find anywhere. We have members ranging in age from four-years-old to one hundred; every religion, race, and profession," said Barney. "Our members are cab drivers, doctors, CEO's, and stay-at-home moms." There are 52,000 American Mensa members, and 100,000 worldwide Mensans. Joining Mensa has gotten somewhat more difficult in recent years. Up until the mid-1990s, a high score on most standardized achievement exams like the SAT Statistically speaking there are at least 140 students at CSUSM who qualify as geniuses~at least as far as their IQ is concerned. If you're a campus smartypants—or think you might be~ there's a national organization that wants you: American Mensa, the High IQ Society. Benefits of Mensa membership include a monthly magazine, opportunities to meet and mingle with other brainiacs at Annual Gatherings and Mind Games tournaments, and the ability to add the ultimate icebreaker to your resume or grad school applications: "Mensa Member." Joining American Mensa also automatically qualifies you for membership in a local chapter of your choice, like the San Diego Mensa chapter.

HawaiianAiriines.com H AWAIIAN — -»mimes.-— �THE PRIDE By JASON NICHOLS P Ä Ombudsman "Enjoyed the Letter to the editor, but don't they have to sign them?" r Sally Jo Divis tagged me with this Q concerning last week's issue» The best part was the title of her email, "The Phantom Writer." We could use it for a movie. A mysterious student sends in a Letter to the Editor challenging the powers-that-be. As the campus becomes all engrossed with the identity of this 'masked' person, we see the writer in the shadows clacking away on a typewriter. (18 and under: the ancestor to MS Word.) We could film them as a series, maybe stopping at "Phantom Writer IIII: Mystery of the Large Clock of Academic H all" (hint, hint) Well it'd be nice, but I gotta kill my hypothetical by ending the mystery. Our "Phantom Writer" goes by the name Felipe Zanartu. The editing team goofed and kinda sorta missed the fact that Mr. Zanartu's name had been c ut I usually take their words under suspicion, but I think we can chalk this one up to an honest boo-boo. The policy in bold on page two of this puppy is still in force. The Editors apologize to Mr, Zanartu for any pain or suffering that may have occurred as a result of this incident I would suggest a doctor to take care of the matter, perhaps one from CSUSM's MJD. program, but that was just a misleading photo illustration in the News section last week. Elizabeth Baldwin with the slick skills and aid of Jason Encabo had a pic of a binder with M.D. on it next to an apple. I've been informed that we readers were to make the connection of Med Doc and apple to translate into an Ed.D. in Education Leadership, the actual doctorate offered here. Obviously, Elizabeth and Jason arefrt part of that program. (Whisper Mode On: 'Yo Elizabeth, J. The Docs that put a stick on your tongue aren't the only ones around. Those people in front of class that we call Professors. . .1 hear they're Docs too. Just thought you should know.) Above that pic of ambiguous meaning was the question "Looking to become a doctor?" And above that Q was a pic of a busted window with yellow streamers across it: caution caution caution. Another connection we should make? Hmmmm. What I realty dug was that Mr. Milo wrote in his article of "Broken glass" that there were "no suspects for the crime," then quotes Officer Hernandez saying the broken glass likely resulted from "horseplay" and not "vandalism." (Whisper mode on again: 'Yo Chez. Horseplay ain't a crime. Just thought you should know.) Somewhere on campus a person is sweatin' bullets thinking there's a dragnet out for 4em. A.P.B.: The suspect is a college student, between the ages of 18 and 25. Please contact the F.B.I. if you've seen this person. The suspect likely frequents the various eateries described in Mr. Schramm's article "When the Johhny Carson BY ALFRED CHU For The Pride Ed McMahon's "Hereeee's Johnny!" is a signature phrase for none other than the undisputed King of Late Night talk show, Johnny Carson, who passed away on Sunday, January 23, 2005. He died peacefully surrounded by his family and friends. He had battled emphysema for many years. On October 1, 1962, Carson was introduced as the new host for the "The Tonight Show" on the NBC network. For the next three decades, his monologues and jokes turned him into an American icon as well as one of the highest paid entertainers. Carson was nominated for an Emmy award seven times (1980, 1981, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1991) winning in 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979 and 1992. Also in 1992, Carson was given the Lifetime Achievement Award in Comedy and the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest honor to a civilian. Not only being one of the highest paid entertainers during his time, at one point he generated 17 percent of NBC's profit. Not only was McMahon's catchphrase a trademark for the show, over the years, Carson developed skits that added to the routine and which fans expected to see. For example, if the audience didn'tfinda particular joke funny, Carson would either have a microphone lowered to him and he would say "Attention KMart shoppers" or start tap dancing while the band played "Tea for Two." And of course, he ended every night with a golf swing with an imaginary club. Through his own hardships, such as three bitter divorces and his son killed in a road accident, he has still managed to keep others laughing. Many well known comedians got their start from his show. Comedians such as Jay Leno, Ellen DeGeneres, David Letterman, Steve Martin, among others all credit Carson for his generosity and expertise. Robin Williams and Bette Midler were his final guests. Midler sang "One More For My Baby" which caused Carson to shed a tear. Although Letterman was the leading contender for the successor of Carson, the network went with Leno. On January 24, "The Tonight Show" aired a tribute episode to Carson. Leno, along with McMahon, Bob Newhart, Don Rickles and Drew Carey expressed feelings towards their mentor. Dome won't do." A nice article by the way Matthew, obviously aided by Encabo's flair for page layout that was more than compensation for the misleading Doc illustration he'd done with Elizabeth. Matthew Schramm neglected my personal favorite chow-down spot, but I'll not advertise in this column. (Sandcrab goodi) And it'd be nice if Mr. Schramm had covered less obvious locals than those the student body was already frequenting. When you think about it, it'd be like the Union Tribune revealing to us that we have a Convention Center, Stadium, and Race Track. But we gotta break these new writers in somehow, so bear with the regurgitated themes for now. We'll get better. Of course, that also refers to Zach Simon's subtle opinion that books cost too damn much (a revelation), Patrick Long informing us that there exists a gym in the Field House (another revelation), and Brian Reichert's emphatic opinion that studying abroad is good for the soul (and those revelations just keep coming). Brian "had the opportunity to study in Santiago de Chile" and apparently liked it well enough despite Felipe Zanartu's (the Phantom Writer) observation that "the USD in Chile has lost 22 percent of its value." And like the 'caution caution caution' above "Looking to become a doctor?" we had Brian's travel ad atop Felipe's dire currency conversion rate. I'm tossin' my hands up, I'm so confused... I'm looking like the picture of Ethan Hawke in At Chu's review of "Assault on Precinct 13." Not the looking like a hotty factor, but we're sharing the same expression that communicates a sense of confusion. The one you make when barking spiders arrive in a crowded room and you just gotta whiff. Phoenix is now the A&E editor, and hopefully we won't have any unflattering pics popping up in the f uture (About the job Phoenix, my condolences.)

Most of the picks were quite predictable and fortunately I had spent the last couple of months trying to catch a film here or there so I could be ready to root for my favorites on Oscar night. I realized though, that many of the top contenders have never even played in this area, so I signed on to Sign On San Diego to try and track them down. Much to my dismay, I found out that if I wanted to see "Being Julia," Photo by Michael Dolan / The Pride I would have to trek down to Horton Plaza, and if I wanted to watch "Finding Neverland," I would have to drive to Poway or Temecula. "A Very Long Engagement" is in Hillcrest and "Ray" is playing in the Gaslamp. I have to question why all three of the theatres in the general proximity of San Marcos mostly play the same movies. I remember that when the Signature Theatre was built in Escondido they promised that they would reserve one of the theatres to play "art" films. Since the Regal whale swallowed up the Signature, it has merely become a clone of the San Marcos Theatre. Surely the Krikorian Metroplex in Vista could break out of the mold and show something different, but no, they offer the same homogenized fare as the Regal. It is frustrating that moviegoers in North County have to brave the 1-15 in order to see a film that might be out of the ordinary. The theatres around town need to wake up and realize that they need to offer a wider variety and acknowledge that people in San Marcos deserve to see these films on the big screen and not be forced to wait until they come out on DVD. �6 Tuesday, February 12005 O P I N I O N THE PRIDE Into uncertainty BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer At the tender age of 18, some people reading this would come to question my ability to read the culture of my generation and also the "experience" that I have in it. But it is not so much the extent of "experience" I have, as to how much I realize things in a new light after these 18 years on this planet. It seems to me that everyone is trying to reach a goal - however these people, me included, don't seem to have the slightest idea of what that goal is. Some of my friends are so set in their ways about what they want to do after college and their talk of all the millions they will be making makes me question what I really want. I have no clue of what I would like to do in the future and I don't know how I'm going to get there, it is just one of the many wonders in life that I like to call growing up. But these days my generation has procured a certain inamiable sense of life. Everyone just expects to procure this vast quantity of wealth and a consump- Quality Fish Everyday Resonable Price Good Service tion of knowledge in what seems to be an instant. But I wonder is it just me that is so confused about my life that I can't seem to pull myself into one direction? Or could it be that the countless masses in college right now are thinking the same thing, and are just to obscure and frightened to reveal to themselves, that their assiduous effort has gotten them absolutely nowhere. These people are all around us and I say welcome.. .welcome to what I have just learned to be the first steps out of your childhood realm where everything just fell into place. Now I see that it is not me that plans things, it is the actions of everyone that plan the pitfalls and the peaks in life that can make the most dull person, such as myself,filledwith vital exuberance.

The things that I have taken for granted all these years are now gone and despite the fact that I am so young I find myself clinging to what is left of my once ecstatic childhood. I know that the things that have come and gone are that of the past but something tells me there is more to life than what we see. I think that life is a culmination of moments that I get too lost in to figure o ut I think the best quote about my generations' life would be by Simon and Garfunkel, "Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where," from the song "The Only Living Boy in New York." I know for a fact that I don't know what I am doing to better my life half of the time and it seems that everything has just been bunched up into a little irrelevant ball. These times reflect the exact moments when I feel that I am just doing something because society says it is the thing that has to be done. But if this is true then why am I making the final decisions, and my intuition and common sense lead me to view the finale of my life. But this is how life is and I have to accept it just like all my peers have to accept the fact that it may be tedious and tiring but someday, just maybe we will find that childhood again and cherish what is left of it for the rest of our lives.

Photos courtesy of The Academy of Motion Picture A rts and Sciences The other nominees in this category were no surprise, except for Clint Eastwood being nominated as Best Actor for "Million Dollar Baby," taking the slot that many assumed Paul Giamatti of "Sideways" would get. Don Cheadle's nomination for "Hotel Rwanda," along with his co-star Sophie Okonedo's nomination for Best Supporting Actress, will give the hard-to-sell film about the 1994 genocide in Rwanda a much-needed boost in audience. However, a win for Jamie Foxx in the Best Actor category is the closest thing this year's race has to a lock. The Best Actress category will once again come down to Swank vs. Bening. In 2000, newcomer Hilary Swank beat veteran Annette Bening with her performance as a cross-dressing youth in "Boy's Don't Cry." This year the two, both fresh off Golden Globe wins, will face off yet again, but Bening's performance as an actress looking to revamp her career in "Being Julia" could hit closer to home for Academy voters. There are no clear frontrunners in either of the Supporting categories. For Best Supporting Actor, the Academy could decide to honor "Sideways" by giving Thomas Haden Church the statue, or "Closer" newcomer Clive Owen, the Golden Globe winner in this category. Best Supporting Actress is a category in which the Academy typically bestows the statue on a young ingénue, so "Closer's" Natalie Portman's chances are good. However, the Academy could decide to shake things up this year, so don't count out Virginia Madsen for "Sideways" or Laura Linney for "Kinsey." The 77th Annual Academy Awards will air on Sunday, February 27, on ABC. CLASSIFIEDS EGG DONORS NEEDED Healthy Females ages 18-30. Donate infertile couples.

Under 17 not admitted without parent or adult guardian i i \ �The "Hotel" you must check into BY HEATHER HOFFMAN Pride Staff Writer Sometimes movies make you laugh, sometimes they make you cry, but very rarely do they open your eyes and force you to look at the world differently. Hotel Rwanda is a movie that will change your life. It takes place in Kigali the capital city of Rwanda in Africa, and tells the true story of a battle between the Hutu and the Tutsi that killed one million people in 100 days. These two groups had a long history of conflict which came to a climax in 1994, when Hutu extremists attempted genocide of the Tutsi people. This movie tells the story of Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle) the house manager of an upscale hotel in Kigali who is also Hutu, and what he did to save peoples lives. It is an excellent record of a history that is unknown to most. Paul's wife Tatiana (Sophie Okonedo) and their three children are the most important thing in his life, and they're Tutsi, therefore they are a target of the Hutu's hatred. Paul would do anything to protect his family from harm, making this a wonderful story about love and family as well. When the President is assassinated, the Hutu blame the Tutsi and they begin attack- Photos courtesy of United Artists (MGM) ing the Tutsi and anyone who associates with them. As Tutsi are taken from their homes and murdered, Paul's Tutsi family and friends run to his house for protection, he is the only Hutu they trust. Paul's friends and family are taken by the Hutu and are not murdered because Paul offers to pay the Hutu a large amount of money, which he has to get from the Hotel Mille Collines where he works and has access to a lot of money. The hotel was safe and was protected by the UN because it had many prominent guests staying there. When the hotel manager leaves, Paul is given control of the entire hotel, so he hides his Tutsi friends away where they will be safe for a while. When the foreign hotel guests are given a military escort out of Rwanda, Paul is left with an unprotected hotel. Paul uses connections he's made through his job to keep the hotel and his family safe. One of these connections is Colonel Oliver (Nick Nolte) of the UN who is very useful to Paul and does what he can to keep the hotel secure with limited resources. However it is a constant struggle for Paul to remain in control of the hotel and keep his guests safe as more and more refugees show up. As people everywhere are being murdered, Paul steps up and does something incredible that most people would not have the courage to do. He is a hero and because^ of him 1268 lives were saved. This movie is amazing. It reminds you that even in the ugliest situations beautiful things can come out of people. It is heart! warming to know that one person can take a stand and make a difference. The struggle between the Hutu and Tutsi was largely ignored by the rest of the world. Anyone with a heart will watch this film and ask themselves WHY? Why wasn't anything done to help the situation? Why was the attempted genocide of an entire culture ignored by the world? 5th Element: a pearl in the bed of oyster phlegm BY ZACHARY J. SIMON Pride Staff Writer Back in the latter half of the 90s—a decade that tried to claim immortality by refusing to take a single title-under the roman- Photo courtesy of Tristar Home Video tic dawn of new innovations in film effects, there occurred a brief, yet expectedly passionate affair between America's futurist action blockbuster and France's surrealist romance, captured by MTV and Vogue's self conscious voyeur isms. "The Fifth Element" has just been re-released with two hours of extras for the geeks' library/ shrine/wall, and a more expensive digitally enhanced version for those who need new lotion for the self-pleasure of a bigger screen (guess which one I'm holding.) Remembering that I'd liked this pearl pill in the bed of oyster phlegm, I wish now that I'd been there in the theater and there on the DVD team. The film itself was still enjoyable enough that I actually watched the whole thing when I'd planned to do a recap before diving into the extras. Not as many professional actors with amateur lines, but there are some close calls, some action with too much slapstick, some romance with too much action, but it stands out as a reminder that afilmenvironment should be total, that a future world must be remade as well as expanded, and that an B+ prop still caries more emotion than an A- digital image. Switching off widescreen would have shorthanded this film, but omitting the option is a bit underhanded, as was the potentially more valuable 'fact track' (think low budget popup video) which provided trivia everyfiveseconds, then every 15, then every minute, then every 15 minutes. It would seem someone either didn't understand ration- ing, or got lazy, as interesting facts became more often replaced by banal observations and yeahsayings. The extras disc cleverly divides its main features into the 'visual element' the 'star(actor) element,' etc., each with a makingof featurette narrated by the typical photojournalism dropout equipped with oyer-enthusiasm and bad jokes. We learn that the spiritual heroine is in reality a bit shallow, the gruff hero a bit deeper, and that lip-syncing opera is even harder as a reluctant alien. Film tests might just seem a way to pad the package, and probably were, but the grittier aspects of filmmaking could as easily spoil the magic for some people as enhance a sense of craftsmanship. What used to help gener- ate interest for the moviegoer can also counteract buyer's remorse in the DVD addict. Buy the movie, great for a crowd of mixed tastes: violence but little gore, randiness but little vulgarity (there's two brief shots of the heroine's breasts but they got to keep the PG-13 rating, which seems only fair considering her supermodel's figure.) Rent the special edition to make sure you find the info really gives you a lasting illusion of being closer to the professionals. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

According to the Assistant Director for Residence Life Angela Grundy, the UVA is required by law to meet a standard 50 percent recycling rate. That is, at least half of the waste from the University Village Apartments must be recycled. If this standard is not met, the UVA could be fined up to $10,000. Prior to Jan. 20, 2004 there were no recycling bins in the apartments as there are now. Residents had to lug their recyclables to the dumpster on their own, without any bins to remind them to do so. This led to some students dumping their recyclables in with the rest of their trash.

The recycling program at University Village Apartments works like this: each apartment has one recycling bin. The trash is collected once a week from the UVA, along with which students are responsible to empty their recycling bin. Where the residents empty their trash there is also a place to empty their recyclables, should they choose to. Carly Riley, a* freshman at CSUSM, was asked if she recycled. "Sometimes, depending on when I think about it," Riley said. "Glass, cardboard or big boxes definitely." She also said that they did not have the recycling bins in the apartments before this semester, only bins by the dumpster, so they just threw all their trash and recyclables together.

If approved on election day in March, Proposition 55 would allocate $2.3 billion to be used to fund major construction and renovation throughout California's higher educational system. California is experiencing rapid growth as a state, forcing administrators to find ways to accommodate such quick growth. Pressing enrollment growth over the past decade has made it vital to fix old and outdated classrooms, enlarge facilities, and construct new classrooms to meet existing student needs at CSU campuses—as well as California Community Colleges and UC campuses. There is seldom an adequate amount of dollars in the state budget to fund large expansions of the higher education system such as this. School construction is a direct investment in the local economy. Studies show Proposition 55 will produce hundreds of thousands of new jobs and add billions in local economic activities all over California. Funds can only be spent to revamp or construct schools, not on administration. Opposition to Propostion 55 states that Calfornia is already in debt and should not take more on. The bond requires that schools provide 40 percent of the total cost so schools without the funds will miss out. Also, Los Angeles, a city with 12 percent of California's students, would receive 25 percent of the money. —»•inHmii Over the past three years, California state spending has significantly exceeded tax revenues. Proposition 57, the "Economic Recovery Bond Act," to be proposed to voters on the March 2 ballot, initiates a $15 billion bond in order to pay off the state's accumulated general fund deficit as of June 30, 2004. The measure will only pass if voters also approve Proposition 58, the "California Balanced Budget Act." The recovery bond is designed to prevent drastic cuts from education and health care programs, as well as potential dramatic tax increases otherwise likely to cover the current debt. Proponents note that in addition to heading off budget shortages, the bond will consolidate much of the state's debt into one lump sum. Those in opposition to the bond claim that it will cost more than $2,000 per family, and instead suggest that the legislature should be called upon to reign in spending they see as out of control. _ Ultimately funded by the people of California, "The repayment of the bond would result in annual General fund costs equivalent to one-quarter percent of California's sales tax revenues," said the Secretary of State's Legislative Analyst. It would take between 9 and 14 years to pay back the bond. Essentially, this proposition gives the state government a one-shot, large sum of money to be used now, in order to reduce the immediate budget deficit, as opposed to collecting it gradually over time, via annual taxation. By KYLE OTTO Pride StaffWriter h i i ii M i n i m i Gov. Schwarzenegger called Proposition 58 "the never-again spending limit." If only it were that simple. Titled "The California Balanced Budget Act," Proposition 58 includes an arsenal of provisions aimed at achieving a higher level of fiscal responsibility in Sacramento. Proposition 58 would amend California's constitution with changes that would not be subtle. While the governor is currently only required to propose a balanced Budget, Proposition 58 would force him or her to propose and enact a balanced budget. Another budget-related provision under Proposition 58 compels the legislature and governor to act swiftly in times offiscalemergency. Under such circumstances the legislature would have 45 days to complete a bill concerning the emergency. If the deadline were to pass without a bill, work on all other bills would be suspended until the emergency bill was completed and presented to the governor. Appealing to those who own piggy-banks, Proposition 58 would establish the Budget Stabilization Account. Money transfers would be ordered from the state's general fund into the new account until a certain balance is met. Much of the money in this new account would then be devoted to deficit payments. Proposition 58 would also prohibit the state from engaging in long-term borrowing arrangements. The proposition's opponents see this component as being rather useless in that it preserves the short-term borrowing arrangements they feel are troublesome..

Dick. Weiner. Johnson. There are thousands of different names we can call a man's genitalia; and according to the recent wave of Internet advertisements, there are thousands of ways to add on inches. These days, you can be sure that before hearing the words "you've got mail," various pop-ups for penis enlargement remedies on the computer screen appear. That is because there are over 18,000 products on the market catering to guys that want a bigger and better package. These products range from the $20 penis pump to the $300 bottle of Virility (one of many "all-natural" male enhancing supplements). To add to the list, there are also penis weights for those interested in the stretching technique and penis muscle exercisers for those guys who work out. For the man looking to increase the beast, these ads seem convenient; however, usage of any of these products may leave him unfulfilled and broke. Dr. Steven Bates of student health services, said that many of the products related to the penis enlargement propaganda have not been medically accepted nor FDA approved. The products claiming to be "all-natural" supplements borrow a mixture of herbs with various functions (Ginseng for stamina, Yohimbe for weight-loss, etc). These companies then stuff the list of herbs into a capsule and tell the consumer that his penis will grow about 30 percent within three to six months. Most of these supplements, however, will give the consumer a 90 day guarantee or refund Photo by Sarah Carlin¡The Pride Penetrating e-mail accounts nationwide, male member enhancement advertisements may leave consumers a little less than satisfied. your money. In other words, by the time he realizes that his penis has not grown an inch, the guarantee has expired, and the company keeps the money. Besides the fact that this market lacks a promising warranty, an herb can react in an individual's body very negatively, especially when mixed with other herbs. "Herbs can be the cause of hypertension, fatigue, and G.I. (gastrointestinal) problems —- like diarrhea (side effects) can be present when mixed with one's metabolism," Bates said. Results vary from person to person. The only certain way to add on inches to a penis is through surgery. That would only be recommended for specific cases, cases that are not cosmetic, but reconstructive. But even surgery is risky, Bates said So what makes us, as a society, so fascinated with size? Sex sells. Media definitely plays an important roll with movies like "Austin Powers," which jokes about a penis pump, and associates Austin Powers as being a huge ladies man. We can also give credit to the adultfilmindustry with all of the publicity that Ron Jeremy gets for his gigantic moneymaker. Sarah Wymer, sophomore, said that unfortunately, yes, size does matter. "Our society's obsession with size probably stems from women who are always supposed to be small with big boobs," Wymer said. "Men are depicted as being big, with a big penis." Wymer said she does not think products on the market are credible according to their advertisements. She said, "I think they are just gimmicks sold to poor guys with low self-esteem." Junior Jason Nichols said, "Bigger is relative to cold weather," and that bigger does not necessarily mean better, especially if the previous guy was bigger. Nichols said, "If you want bigger equipment, lose the beer belly." If you do decide to take the bait on these enhancement ads or even surgery, investigate the risk factors and know your motives. The American Urological Association and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery have surgical remedies for amputated penises, penises damaged by car accidents, animal bites, birth defects and other serious cases. They do have policy statements against cos metic procedures. For more information on this topic or topics on sexual responsibility please visit Student Health Services. Faculty from Student Health Services will be in Founders Plaza to promote sexual responsibility Tuesday, Feb. 10, and Wednesday, Feb. 11, between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. They will be selling condom roses and passing out safe sex pamphlets. Looking for romance in cyberspace may not be that weird By CHELSEA GEORGE Pride Staff Writer As February 14 approaches, many single students are probably wondering just whose going to be their Valentine. Some are even turning to alternative methods, such as online dating, to find that special someone. To some, the thought of dating someone met online may send shivers down the spine. Perhaps questions like how could I go on a date with someone I've never met? And what if they're lying about who they really are? might course through your head. Perhaps pictures of some scary psycho murderer hunched over a keyboard goflashingthrough your mind. Or as freshman Kaylan Bland said, "That's creepy." Others mayfindonline dating unnatural. They may miss that spark when eyes connect for the first time; the initial meeting leaving your head spinning for days. "When you meet someone it should just happen," said Elise Battaglia, sophomore.

After making a new e-mail address on Yahoo just to be safe, I signed on to www.match.com. There is no charge to browse through other people's profiles and make one of your own. I searched for guys within 50 miles of San Marcos between 21 and 28 years old. I ended up with 50 pages of pictures and profiles to sort through. Though the first couple pages were nothing special, I quickly found one guy whose picture made my jaw drop. After yelling at my roommate to come stare at the Abercrombie model wannabe, I decided to read his profile. It just so happened that we have a ton in common, so I put him on my favorites list and continued to search. While skimming through the pages there were no scary creepy people to be found. With only 20 pages down, I decided to call off my search with 5 potential guys on my favorites list. The next step is writing to them, which I'm still too weirded out to do.

The ASI/CSUSM surf team has consistently made great performances in the National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA) events. The season included two stops in Ventura (street pipes) Oct. 26 and Dec. 21, as well as an event at Black's Beach in San Diego Nov. 22. Thefinalevent of the regular season took place Jan. 19. at one of the great surfing spots in Southern California, Huntington Pier (south side). The Dream Team qualified for the state championships with an overall season ranking of ninth. "The Dream Team has a shoe in to qualify for nationals," said Surf Team Faculty Advisor Dr. Amber Puha. To make it to nationals, the Dream Team needs to place in the top 12 at state. In itsfirstyear, the secondary Cream Team also landed a place in the state championships. Cream Team member Conrad Scouton scored third place in the men's division, and Analia Carlsson, had a usually consistent performance. She is ranked sixth in the college women's division with 1530 points. Vital contributions from other Cream Team members like Alex By JOSH SANDOVAL Pride StaffWriter Photo Courtesy of Conrad Scouton Conrad Scouton turns on the crest of a wave in Los Angeles County. The ASI/CSUSM surf t eam qualified for a spot in this year's state championship competition. Brust and Chris Parrinello also helped the team qualify. The Cream Team took seventeenth place in the rakings with 1748 points qualifying them for a shot at the title. "I hope they can have a strong showing,," Puha said. She added that coming from a strong performance at the last event in Huntington Beach, the momentum might just carry over to the state championships in March. She also said that the talent that these kids have hasn't been seen at it's full potential yet. The student body of the CSUSM campus has something to be proud of in these two teams. These guys and gals are a force to be reckoned with after posting their bestfinishesof the year. The road to having a Surf Team at CSUSM is a very hard one. It takes a tremendous amount of work both by students who are on the surf team and advisor Puha who devotes both time and effort. The leadership on the team is outstanding and they are a great group, Dr. Puha said. Alumni, ASI, as well as Hansen Boardroom all contribute funding to keep the team going, but the rest of the funds Photo courtesy of Cougar Softball Cougar's Softball is 2 -2 and preparing for a tournament, where the women will compete nationally. Many of t he girls who had joined t he t eam had been on hiatus f rom the sport. By BRETT DAVIS Pride StaffWriter CSUSM expanded its list of club teams last November when the Women's Softball Team formed itself and began pre-season workouts. They practiced rigorously for nearly two months and opened up their inaugural season with a 15-2 lopsided win over Mt. San Jacinto College Jan. 12. A blowout win against intercollegiate competition is a great achievement for any club team, and proved to be the ideal way to open up the season. The next two outings weren't quite as glorious as the first; the team dropped both games of a double-header against International Hope of Faith. The losing streak didn't last long though, and was snapped in the very next game against Orange Coast College with a close 6-4 triumph. The Women's Softball team now finds themselves at .500 with a 2-2 record. "Not bad considering half of the squad hadn't played in nearly 5 years," said Head Coach Fermin Cardoza Sr. Cardoza has been coaching girl's softball for the last 15 years through Vista Girls Softball and needed for liability insurance, entry fees, and other costs have to come from fund raising by students. One idea is to host a "surf flick" night at the Clarke field house. By paying a small fee, students can come and help the surf team reach their goal of $700 to cover the state championship fees. People interested in helping can contact Laurence Bolotin, director of Student Programs. Expect great things in the future with the ASI/CSUSM Surf Team, because as the campus grows so will this popular program. Inaugural season for sofibaH is off to an even start Travel Ball, and hopes to end the Cougar's inaugural season with a winning record. The team is looking forward to the National Softball club team tournament at the end of April. Catcher Alison Sansbury said she is looking forward to the tournament. "We are a young Cougar dynasty and this tournament will pit us against other club teams and will show just exactly how good we are," she said. Cardoza said, "Definitely, they have come a long way since we first started practicing, "It's like night and day," he said. With spring on the horizon, America's favorite pastime is almost upon us, which means the second season of Cougar baseball will be getting under way. CSUSM offers three intercollegiate sports (Cross country, Track and Field, and Golf), but those are not the only sports available to students. 2003 was the inaugural season for Cougar baseball, which was a successful season by all standards for a first year team. There will be six returning players from last years squad, including one sophomore, one junior, and four seniors. Head Coach JJ Koon said, "We are very excited about the upcoming season. We are building off a .429 winning percentage, with a record of §ix wins and eight losses." Last season the Cougars participated in very high scoring games. The Cougars had the second best scoring offense, and allowed the third fewest runs out of six teams in the Metal Bat Division. In the first game, of a 14 game season, they blew out the San Diego Black Sox with a 17-2 victory. The Cougars continued to put up big scores on their opponents all throughout the year; the team averaged 10 runs per game in the final six games, while finishing strong, winning four out of those six contests. The Cougars scored seven runs or more on seven different occasions throughout the year. The teamfinishedthe season tied for third place in their division, and this year the returning players expect only to improve upon last year's success. The Cougars play games Sundays on Varsity Fields at various North County High School locations. The team is part of the North County section of the Men's Adult Baseball League (MABL). The North County section contains several independent baseball teams from other universities like San Diego State, and other independent teams in the greater San Diego area. The Cougars are looking for athletic men tofillout the roster, which is currently voided by the eight seniors who were on the team last season. Try-outs will be held on February 21, at 1:30pm, on the campus of Mira Costa Community College in Oceanside. There will also be a team meeting that anyone is welcome to attend. The team meeting is tentatively scheduled for the second week of February in the Founders Plaza.

The top answers given were: kindness, warmth, attentiveness, commitment, sense of humor, and shared values. Out of all the various answers in the survey there was not one woman who said they want a huge penis. Maxim magazine is not a scientific medical journal; however, they are correct in informing men that the size of a man's package is of no consideration to women.

According to an interview with Steven N. Grange, MD on WebMD.com, Grange said, "Men in general did not have a distorted view of what's a normal penis size until a study published in Sept. 1996 Journal of Urology concluded that the average flaccid penile length was 3.5 inches, and average erect length was 5 inches." It is as if the marketing and advertising industry has just been waiting for this information to create a complex in the male psyche just like it has been doing to women for decades. If you are a women, you know you are bombarded everywhere you look with images of the so-called "perfect shape." Fashion, cosmetic, and diet industries make billions of dollars each year off the insecurities they have created in women. Now it seems they have the perfect recipe to do the same thing to men. Tell men that they don't measure up if they can't stretch out to a hefty 10 inches on a ruler; get a sexy women to say how pleasurable a big penis is, and then offer a must-have remedy.

L ETTERS T O T HE E DITOR The opening of Kellogg Library this semester has created a sense of excitement among CSUSM faculty and students alike. In fact, I have been so excited about the opening of the new library that whenever I am in the building I experience frequent urination. Thefirsttime this sense of urgency hit me, I was thrilled to check out the new bathroom facilities in the library. To my dismay, I found the experience to be less than mediocre. I have visited three bathrooms in the new library, one on the firstfloor,two on the second. These bathrooms all have doors that do not properly latch—-and when I have to go I don't have time to fumble with door locks. Consequently, I have been forced to relieve myself in front of classmates. To make matters worse, often times these bathrooms lack seat covers and toilet paper, too. So not only am I the girl who pees with the door open, I'm the girl who doesn't use seat covers or toilet paper. I usually make afinalsanitary attempt before I leave the library restrooms, but as I pump the dispenser for soap I don't even get a bubble, and when I go to dry my hands, the paper towel dispensers are jammed. The other day, on the way to the bathroom I was really down in the dumps. I felt like things just couldn't get worse. And then I found a friend. Inside the first floor bathroom in the new library I met Karen, a quiet girl, head in hands, sobbing on the ground next to the sink. Scooping away days of trash and paper towels, I leaned down next to her and asked what was wrong. Karen told me she was having a feminine emergency and ran to both bathrooms on the second floor of the library and, in a third final attempt, tried thefirstfloor bathroom for a vending machine to buy a product. Karen found nothing of the sort. You can find Karen in this same spot, because she vowed to me she wouldn't leave the bathroom until someone recognizes the importance of such machines and installs one. On a more serious note: I don't understand why these brand new bathrooms, in a state of the art library, have dysfunctional door latches and paper towel dispensers. Out of the three women's restrooms I have visited, not one has a feminine product vending machine, either. I find a more serious problem lies in the fact that these un-stocked restrooms are not cleaned on a daily or even bi-daily schedule, forcing us to use stained toilets while we stare at dirty pieces of trash on thefloorthat we first noticed days ago. The library is a new, beautiful facility—and students should be just as overjoyed to use the restrooms as they are to sip a Frappuccino from Starbuck's or receive a free Kellogg spill-proof mug.

To Student Advocates here at CSUSM: Our governor has recently proposed budget cuts which will directly target the Student Support Services and Educational Opportunity Program (SSS and EOP) in the Cal State system. These programs provide much needed support for low-income, first generation students through a wide variety of services while focusing on academic success, student perseverance and retention rates. EOP gives support to students who need all the assistance they can get. These programs are the key to promoting educational equality and access to higher education, essential issues the CSU system adamantly claims to protect. As a team teacher for the WMST 101 class for many of the first year EOP students on this campus, I work directly with these underrepresented students. Asfirstgeneration college students, those involved in EOP often face obstacles that often include economic hardship, cultural and language barriers, and lack of support both in the home and at the university. Cutting the EOP program would be detrimental not only to those students who rely on the program to receive the education which they deserve, but also for the overall atmosphere of the CSUSM community as a whole, which prides itself on its diversity. As a student advocate dedicated to the preservation of educational quality and access, I am outraged. Outraged at'our governor's lack of concern for students who desperately need support services. Outraged that his budget cuts hit to the heart of the higher education . system. Outraged that he seeks to disenfranchise those whom have worked so hard to get where they are. Outraged that there are not enough of our voices being heard I support the CSSA resolution which protests these actions. I encourage all of us to remain steadfast in our dedication to petitioning to stop the elimination of the CSU Outreach and EOP programs. Please flood the governor's office with letters in protest. Call Sacramento and tell him how we feel. We must continue thefightfor student rights and never give in- or give up.

A troop of steppers from El Camino high school, who had attended the show as guests, their gratitude by cheering riotously and giving the girls a standing ovation. "Rhythmic stomping to demonstrate unity, talent, and organizational pride," said Dilcie D. Perez, associate director of multicultural programs and community outreach. That is precisely what the step show was all about. The stomping and clapping which made up the dance created an infectious rhythm which accompanied by the dancer's frequent shouts and cheers, such as "deep in Alabama" and "unity" had a very musical feel. Observers became participants and everyone displayed a high level of enthusiasm and support with their laughter, applause and cheers. At the conclusion of the event, Perez reminded students that change starts on a small scale. It begins with the student voice. The unique exhibition of stomping tied together with the crowd's involvement achieved an important goal for Black History month: that of unity.

Photo courtesy of 20th Century Fox By CHELSEA GEORGE Pride StaffWriter Twentieth Century Fox's upcoming movie "The Girl Next Door," directed by Luke Greenfield, had the theater echoing with laughter at a recent press screening. The movie debuts March 12 as one of the few romantic comedies that I wouldn't classify as a chick flick. Guys can expect to see plenty of eye candy which you would expect from a movie about a high school kid dating a porn star. A senior at Westport High School, Matthew, played by Emile Hirsch, dreams of becoming a politician, and the most exciting thing in his life is his acceptance to Georgetown University. That is until he falls for the new girl next door, Danielle, played by Elisha Cuthbert. She is gorgeous, she is fun and she brings out his adventurous side. She also happens to be a former porn star. Mathew has plans for a whirlwind of a week which includes senior prom, a scholarship competition and the arrival of an exchange student. Unfortunately, all these events are put on hold when Danielle's former director comes to take her back to the industry. Their days are filled with random misadventures as Matjhew realizes he's so in love that he would do anything to keep Danielle and get her out of the business, even steal. Although the characters in this film are your typical teen movie clichés, the popular crowd, the nerds and the in-betweens the plot was surprisingly unfamiliar. If you want a feel good, goof-off movie to go hit up with all your friends I would definitely recommend that you see this film. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Are Yes, an entire day devoted to a BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer THE PRIDE St. Valentine's Day is more than cards and flowers BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer Every year around February 14, there is a rise in the purchase of lacy cards, fancy jewelry, overpriced flowers, and heart shaped candy. Over the years, society lost the roots of this day, commonly referred to as "Valentine's Day." First off, the day is not just called "Valentine's Day." Valentine is not a term of endearment. It is a name. Valentine lived in the third century and was a bishop in Rome. Many Christian faiths recognize Valentine as a martyr and a saint. The Roman Catholic Church celebrates his life on February 14th, thus the day is properly titled, Saint Valentine's Day. Due to the contributions of S t Valentine, the day became synonymous with romantic endeavors. Understanding the life of Saint Valentine makes the day much more romantic. Valentine lived in the day« of ancient Rome where he worked as a priest. In secret, he presided over marriages of Christian couples, saving them from persecution. By helping these 'criminals' of the state, and for not renouncing his faith, St. Valentine was tortured and beheaded. February 14th is a day to honor St. Valentine's work, by doing special deeds for one's sweetheart or beloved. It can also be a day one finds a person to court. It is not a day for consumerism. St. Valentine's Days is not a corporate holiday. The story of St. Valentine is true, as evidenced by the finding of his tomb. Gifts are nice things, but the intention of the present should have some meaning. One should keep in mind why the day is special and where the origin lies. It is not a say for hooking up or one night stands. It is a day about true and undying love, in honor of a man who served the world though his commitment to love.

But while black history and Valentine's Day may receive the spotlight of public attention, February is also American Heart Month. As health remains a great concern for a large percentage of Americans, American Heart month acts as a more pivotal component ofpublic health awareness. American Heart month provides every United States citizen the reminder that health knowledge will improve the overall quality of life and potentially save lives in the process. Each year Congress requires the president to declare February as American Heart Month. Volunteers for the American Heart Association devote their time to spread information about cardiovascular diseases in American Heart Month. These volunteers help to raise funds for research and provide extensive information about various heart conditions and heart diseases. The annual proclamation of American Heart Month has been performed since 1963. The American Heart Association communicates with the presidential "administration in order to draft and sign the annual proclamation." According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular diseases are the "nation's No. 1 killer." Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Stroke is the third leading cause of death and serious disability in the United States as well. As heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, American Heart Month serves as a significant part of health awareness in the United States. A variety of factors contribute to the source of heart disease or stroke. Factors include obesity, smoking, unhealthy nutritional habits, lack of physical exercise, and other factors such as hereditary conditions. While these factors can be treated on an individual level, US citizens can make a difference in health awareness by contacting the nation's policymakers and representatives. The proclamation of the American Heart Month shows the effectiveness of public interaction with our government. Supporters of American Heart Month raise funds that improve public healthcare programs. Legislators support public health by funding healthcare programs, medical research, increasing smoke-free workplaces, and advocating for physical education and better nutrition in schools. The American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association experienced a recent success when president Barack Obama increased the federal cigarette tax to over $1 per pack. This new tobacco law will become a measure that will heavily decrease smoking rates. The American Heart Association supports tobacco control initiatives in order to promote healthy lifestyles. While this law will decrease the rate of smoking, the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association continue to encourage public action. The cure for heart disease remains in the hands of the public. Therefore the public must individually and collectively take measures to ensure healthy living. In the event ofa heart attack or stroke, an individual should call 911 for an emergency response. A person should be cautionary if he or she experiences chest discomfort, discomfort in other areas of the upper body, shortness of breath, or breaking out in cold sweat/ nausea. The most common heart attack symptom is chest pain, but women are somewhat more likely than men to experience some of the other common symptoms. Heart attack or not, somebody who experiences any of these symptoms is encouraged to tell a doctor.

Jam Control So you think you can dance? BY KEVIN CHATHAM Pride Staff Writer Jam Control is a student organization at CSUSM that focuses on building a student community through the artistic expression of movement. Jam Control aims to celebrate the love of d ance, t o c ollaborate a nd w elcome o thers, and to bring out new dancers or dancers that just want to share their experience with others. Jam Control stands for "Justifying Artistic Movement, Collaboration of New Talent, Recognizing Our Love." Dancers and instructors work collaboratively to ensure an environment that fosters exploration and innovation. "It does not just relate to dancing, but how it relates to collaborating with anyone and everyone that has a passion and the drive to build a sense of community and unity in our campus and society," said Jam Control's club president Randy Saldivar. Jam Control had its first debut at CSUSM in 2000, because a group of students wanted to celebrate the art of CSUSM. With a weekly attendance average of around forty-five members, Jam Control is here to stay. Originally conceptualized to celebrate the art of hip-hop, Jam Control appreciates all dance styles. "Jam Control is focusing on becoming a World Dance Student Organization, meaning we have been, and r espectand h as f u n w ith o ne a nother, w hile will continue t o be teaching a variety of dances," Saldivar continued.

Keep a lookout for more Black History Month exclusives throughout this issue and in upcoming issues. Matt Lewis: Tell us about yourself. Adam Rajah Gainey: My name is Adam Rajah Gainey, I'm 26 years old, and I've , been a student at CSUSM for 2 years. ML: What is the Black Student Union? ARG: Basically the BSU is mostly made up of African American students, and it was developed to be a social organization/club, so that people can socialize and find ways into other clubs, be active on campus, and participate in community services/social events. It's a little different since we (African-Americans) are such a big minority here on campus, so its purpose is to explore different areas and bring to light some different issues on campus. _ ML: How many students are involved with BSU? ARG: On our roster, we have about 60 members with 40 or so of them active, as in helping at the tables and social events on campus. It is hard since this is a commuter school to get everyone together at a set time, as well as keeping the meetings fun and relevant to events on campus. ML: Does the BSU have a set meeting time/place? ARG: Yes, every Thursday during the U-Hour (12-12:50 pm) in a new room now, which I believe is University Hall 443. We have our first [members] meeting coming up next week, and we usually have officers meetings once a week. The officer's board has seven different chairs, which include President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, two publishers, and a photographer. We try to tie in the meetings to different social events happening on campus, for example events tied to Black History Month. ML: Does the BSU have any plans for events during Black History Month? ARG: We are co-sponsoring a few events, including the "February One" film next Tuesday, which explores the story of the four college freshmen students during the Civil Rights Movement who started the sitins. This helped revitalize the Civil Rights Movement because at the time, it was a big social movement that had "stalled out" for several reasons. Their recommitment to the cause helped get a lot of college students, both black and white, to participate in sit-ins and ride-alongs all around the country. So it is another unique perspective of history as opposed to the traditionally celebrated characters of Black History month like Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, etc. ; We try to put out unique stories that would be a good learning experience for both us and other people on campus. We are also co-sponsoring a hip-hop concert-previewing event, hosted by the Breaks (which are a local group) who have performed on campus befbre. »akoig*., ML: Any more information on the Black Historyfilmsbeing shown on campus? ARG: One other film, which we are not sponsoring but are helping to advertise for, is "Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin." He was a prominent civil rights activist who was unique because he was one of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s aides and helped coordinate a lot of logistics and planning for events like the march on Washington. The media did not give him adequate praise at the time because he was openly gay, which is pretty relevant now especially with the debates on the right to marriage going on. So it gives you a different perspective on the Civil Rights Movement, where someone can be responsible for great things and be overlooked until modern times. ML: Does the BSU collaborate with any other groups? ARG: No, not yet, but we are hoping to get involved with groups like the NAACP "We try to put out unique stories that would be a good learning experience for both us and other people on campus."-Gainey group in Oceanside, and also the local Boys and Girls Club. It would be ideal to set up a program where some of our members could go and volunteer there, because with the budget cuts they have a lot less money for staff. Hopefully, we can try and get a small group to help out with that this semester. ML: With the election of President Obama, what would you like to see happen for the future of the black community on campus and in San Diego County? ARG: I think that it is a historic time, and like Barack Obama said, we really need to start trying different things and not being afraid to collaborate with other people. For example, in his administration, his best work has always been around a diverse group of people. I think for myself and others included, it's not very often that you see a lot of successful couples. So the fact that he is married and has kids, that family unit, hasn't really been a strong suit in our community because of social issues and stuff. It is really good to see that, a strong father, a wife, and what you can accomplish with hard work. So hopefully it will get some young guys and girls into doing different things, bettering themselves and most of all, trying to make a difference.

A night I will never forget BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer In my mind, Ifiguredsomebody was either lost or needed help. So, I wanted to get to the door as quick as I could. I grabbed my glasses, but it was dark and I still could not see anything in my room. Since it was hot and I was only sleeping in shorts, I pulled the comforter off my bed and wrapped it around myself rather than trying to find a shirt. I was under the impression I would have to open the door, give some directions, and go back to sleep. When I opened the door, I saw a young man and woman standing there with beer cans in their As an RA, I am required to run to any situation that may be unfolding. Yet, one of the most unique instances I have ever had came to me. One weekend in August, Stone Brewery held an anniversary party on campus. That same weekend, the RAs were going to Big Bear for a retreat after training. After packing, I went to bed early because we were leaving around 6AM. In the late hours of the night, I was woken by a couple knocking on my door. hands. I could hardly see, but they looked over 21. The man spoke to me and asked what I was doing. I was stunned. Apparently, he could notfigureout that I was sleeping as evidenced by the look on his face. He asked me why I was not partying on a Friday night. He rambled on until I gathered my words and told him soliciting was not allowed. After all, he was being a disturbance and he had to leave. He gave a confused look, and realized I was an RA. He said he was a graduate of CSUSM and was in town for the Stone Brewery event and came to the UVA to party on a Friday night. I then told him he had to leave and that I was going to escort him out. He began to walk away, but when he realized I was following him, he turned and got in my face. I stood there wrapped in my comforter as he shouted insults three inches from my face. The smell of cheap beer on his breath was overwhelming. As I reminded him of UVA policy that he needed to leave, he threatened to hit me. I was scared, but I almost laughed when he pointed to a pair of moles near my right eye and said he would give me another mark like that. I sarcastically told him that would be impossible. The female friend of his finally got him to back down, and they left. When I got back to my room, I called my supervisor and let her know what happened. She told me to call UPD and let them know to keep and eye out for him. A while later, I got a call saying he was picked up for public intoxication. Ask any RA. They will tell you a story just like this one. Now I am an expert at removing crazy and creepy people to keep my residents safe. Business leaders' experiences brought to C SUSM C oBA course incorporates executive-level guests BY DIANA VALDIVIA Pride Staff Writer The College of Business Administration currently offers a course inspired by Bravo's television series, "Inside the Actor's Studio." "In the Executive's Chair" is a course where professors Rajnandini " Raj" Pillai and David Bennett host senior executives who give students advice from their own real life business experiences. "In the Executive's Chair" is part of The Center for Leader- ship Innovation and Mentorship Building (CLIMB). Guest speakers come to share their knowledge, words of advice, and strategies, which provide students with a better understanding of the real business world. Guests also share their expertise on how they became business leaders. Among other concepts, business leaders pass on the value of the challenges and sacrifices that the business world includes. One unique detail about this class is that students are able to ask questions to the guest speakers. "In the Executive's Chair" is not only for students enrolled in MGMT 432. The discussions are open to other students and the business community. The series runs through April. Located in Markstein Hall 125, the class meetings are from 11:20 a.m. to 12:50 p.m. on Wednesdays. "It gives students a chance to listen to their careers," Bennett said. "Listening, in person, to the executive, being able t a spend time with them one on one after the class, ask them questions, shake their hand and do some networking if they desired," Bennett explained as the "touch and feel" concept students can benefit from. Tyler Stoll, a student enrolled in Executive's Chair, explained that it is not like any other class he has had. "They all give specific examples and one thing that they want you to leave with. It is not all about bookwork," said Stroll. "It is about real experiences." "You get to learn from CEOs firsthand from what has made them successful and failures that you can learn from," another student, Jonathan Curry, added. "Instead of learning from books, you are able to learn from people in different industries from real life instances." Chief Executive & Senior VP from Scripps Green Hospital, Robin Brown, will be the next guest speaker on Feb. 11.

This week's crop features several big name actors and directors in f ilms that may be quite e ntertaining. Arts & Entertainment First, German director Tom Tykwer brings "The International." Tykwer, the director of the modern foreign classic "Run Lola Run," now features an American cast in a story about a corrupt international bank. Clive Owen and Naomi Watts star in the leading roles. Though the story of one man bringing down a corrupt organization has been done to death through James Bond, Jason Bourne* and Jack Bauer, this could be an entertaining action f ilm. It all depends on how well the twists and t urns are laid out. Tykwer is a good storyteller as evidenced by his German work, and his recent English f ilm, " Perfume." For those who have already seen "He's Just Not That Into You," and need a rom-com for St. Valentine's Day, look no f urther than "Confessions of a Shopaholic." Isla Fischer , stars in this tale of an obsessive and excessive shopper t rying to land a j ob at a fashion magazine and balance her life. Though consumerism is dead during this economic crisis, many young ladies will f ind this an entertaining f ilm. "Two Lovers" is an alternate romance f ilm for those looking for a more serious f ilm. This drama stars Joaquin Phoenix as a heartbroken man looking to rebuild himself. In the process, he f alls for two women at the same time. He must choose between the two women and faces the consequences in this drama. The end of this f ilm is obvious f rom the trailer. The protagonist will have f un with both women, but viewers will know the conclusion before he does. With modern romances Tuesday, February 10; 2009 V IN THEATERS F I5BRUARY 13,2009 Image courtesy ofDisney Entertainment such as "Two Lovers," the f ilm is about the j ourney rather than the end. Yet, the j ourney is less exciting when one knows where it is g oings An alternate route to getting close to someone this St. Valentine's Day is to hold him or her tight while watching the remake of "Friday the 13th." Since the remakes of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Halloween," it was only a matter of time before Jason and his hockey mask got an update - it's c onvenient. This Friday happens to be the 13th as well. I have simple expectations about this f ilm. Several people will gp to Camp Crystal Lake and die. If this slasher f ilm can emphasize tension over violence, it may be worth a watch. Or, one could get the immortally creepy original. Attention all students!

With any luck, that may very well be how this thing ends •up. ... After 15 studio albums, 28 active years, and the redefinition of the rock guitar sound, one might assume Sonic Youth have a fair amount of street cred. They should, since all four members are old enough to be our parents. Thurston Moore, lead vocalist and husband of bassist Kim Gordon, formed Sonic Youth in 1981 with Lee Ranaldo, lead guitarist. Drummer Steve Shelley completed the cast when he joined in 1985. Although I wouldn't necessarily deem Hits 6f Sunshine (for Allen Ginsberg), off 1998's A Thousand Leaves, as the pivotal Sonic Youth experience, a certain power rests in the epic, 11-minute jam sweetly sandwiched between Moore's subdued vocal performance. Stripped from any harmony or modern effects, abstract, breathy words convey a world so purely in the style Ginsberg explored. Ginsberg's legendary stream of consciousness writings reclassified poetry during the Beat Generation's height of creativity in the 1950s. Just as Moore and Ranaldo embrace non-conformity Out on DVD BY BLAINE MOGIL Pride Staff Writer in their compositions, so the Beats expanded upon classic poetic styles. What makes this song so special is the lyrics' ability to stand on their own without the support of any music, regardless of its innovation. Believe me, with imagery like, "the lights will blind up with blues in haiku/the shadow has a dream where painters look to sea," these twisted verses could easily stand up to any coffeehouse recitation this side of San Francisco. The rounded, cool lines end far too early as the listener encounters the haunting noises Sonic Youth are so keen on including in their work. The tempo seems mellow as the band's extraordinary grasp of organic sound fills the already clouded atmosphere. In keeping with Ginsberg's groove, Ranaldo's lead guitar reflects the chaotic, nearly melody-free body of the song. No discernable pattern exists, making duplication of any measure virtually impossible. Who would want to try, anyway? Suddenly, Moore's ethereal tenor returns like it never left. Echoing rhymes past, the steady drone of guitar, drums, and bass combined with the even lyrics surprisingly produce a lull until gently fading out. Never in my life would I expect to feel calmed after a Sonic Youth encounter, but to this weary listener, the respite is welcome.

Only by going into the vault could someone find a great movie. Two documentaries fell short of their potential and the Hollywood movie factory feature sunk faster than the Titanic, with the incredible waste of time and money on "Pineapple Express." I still can't decide who was more foolish, me for wasting two hours and four bucks or the studio wasting their millions and the celluloid for the film. "F*ck: A Documentary" Sometimes, everything seems to fall into place. In the morning, the story broke about Christian Bale unleashing an F-bomb fury on a set worker whilefilmingthe new Terminator movie. One might offhandedly dismiss the premise of this film, thinking it a way to quickly make superfluous amounts of money through the gratuitous use of the word 'f*ck\ This film is, however, a middleweight attempt to create a public intercourse about the most fundamental of our freedoms, the freedom of speech. If your sensibilities are easily disturbed, this film will shock you with more than 800 uses of the word f*ck. If you are desensitized, then thefilmwill not likely shocked you. This movie could have carried out a very serious discussion about the wider implications of censorship in our country, but it does not. It could have pushed for an open debate on the subject, but it instead makes light of any potential debate and provides fluffy opinions from people on both sides o fthe issue, t he two sides are; yotTKTS?" free speech, or you're for decency. This is an overly simplistic view of the issue. This pillow-y treatment of the issue leaves no feathers ruffled, and there is insufficient passion for the defense of our freedom of speech, a founding core value of our democracy. In spite of the fact this film is less than hard hitting, and avoids fanning the flames of discussion, it does present an issue that we should all be concerned about, regardless of our views. Liberal, Conservative, or Moderate in your politics, you should see this film with friends and make sure you never stop the discussion about the importance of our freedom of speech, for f*ck sake. Soft-hearted 'What to See' *** "Pineapple Express" For the first time in my life, after seeing this movie, I logged onto the web to see what other reviewers thought about this film. I thought that maybe I missed something. I didn't. The only scene possessing even a small chuckle, for a sober viewer, was featuring Bill Hader from SNL as Private Miller. This opening scene lasts for only a couple of minutes. Thisfilmso desperately tries to be a buddy actionflick,wrapped in an E-Z Wider. The wrapper is clearly evident throughout the whole hazy picture. The script was apparently written under the influence. The acting is pedestrian, and there was simply nothing in thefilmthat provides any return on the investment of time wasted watching this bummer. Had I seen it at the theatre, I wouldn't have only demanded my money back, but I would have demanded the two hours of my life back as well. It may well be that in the proper "frame of mind," there may be some enjoyment to be found here, but there are simply too many good films out there to enjoy, to waste yourself on this one. Chronic 'What to Miss' * "14 Women" The documentary chronicles the lives of 14 women who serve as United States Senate. This film greatly undershoots the mark in offering insight into the lives of these dedicated public servants. In attempting to show that these energetic, caring and driven women not only see to the needs of the millions of constituents they represent, but that they also have daily family responsibilities just like you and me. In this regard, the viewer will no doubt come away with a greater respect for the work these women do. The manner in which this film displays these everyday champions of 'we the people' lacks any sense of cohesiveness and contains no narrative. jumps from one* Senator to the next, using candid clips and interviews interchangeably, and does so without any apparent rhyme or reason. I so wanted to recommend this film when I selected it for this weeks review, but unfortunately the weakness of the film, incredibly, outweighs the strengths of 14 great women Senators combined. 'What to Miss'Barely** "A Day at the Races" This is a greatfilmfromthe Vault. If you have never seen the greatness that is the Marx brothers, then this movie will provide the best introduction to their comic genius. While 70 years may have left a patina on thisfilm,even now you can see the bold and brazen innuendo that Groucho Marx created decades ahead of his time. This movie immensely helped the mood of our country while it was emerging from the first Great Depression. Perhaps now, as much as ever, we can all use a good laugh.

Leonard Marsh, Hyman Golden, and Arnold Greenburg grew up together as friends. Originally, the trio sold purefruitdrinks to health conscious stores. The Snapple name came from one of their originalfruitflavored drinks. The apple flavored drink tasted snappy, giving birth to the company's world famous name. Snapple Lemon Tea debuted as the first product in 1987. Currently, the company sells nearly 70 flavors of tea to over 81 countries. A 20 fluid ounce plastic bottle of Snapple Diet Lemon Iced Tea retails between $2-3. Although the glass tea bottle offers the popular random fact under the bottle cap such as a gold fish's attention span is three seconds, the plastic version can be taken anywhere a tea connoisseur desires. The diet version has zero calories making the drink a perfect choice for many still working on their New Year's resolution to consume healthier products. The tea is also made from natural lemon flavors, amongst other natural flavors. BY KEVIN CHATHAM Pride Staff Writer Ever since my first semester here at CSUSM, I have enjoyed the semester tradition of browsing during Cougar Bazaar. Imre Papp shows up each semester to display his wares for the CSUSM community. Although Papp frequents street fairs and shows, he states that he enjoys CSUSM for its "light atmosphere" and "friendly students." Papp takes pride in the quality of his garments. He just wants to sell "good clothes to good students " "I just love the prices," said CSUSM community member, Chelsea Taylor. While browsing the tees, Taylor described her style as eclectic, "a mix between I don't give a fuck, and I am beautiful After a slight shaking the tea pours thin releasing a hint of fresh lemon. A murky reddish brown illuminates the tea glass filled to the brim with ice cubes. The fluid easily passes through the lips and into the mouth. A refreshing charge of lemony zest energizes all aspects of the mouth. The diet tea does not taste as bold as the regular tea but the trade off for zero calories balances the discrepancy. Add a slice of lemon to the brim for extra zing. The tea pairs well with light lunches such as tuna sandwiches and chef salads. The small doses of caffeine make any Snapple product a great treat for any Cougar during a day of rigorous classes. Next time, buy two Snapple teas and enjoy the refreshing beverage at a bench or under a tree with a fellow classmate. Cheers! enough to wear anything." Taylor's shopping companion Alix Fidel also loves shopping. A frequent Cougar Bazaar shopper, Fidel added ", the guy who works here is really nice." Fidel describes her style as "classic, clean and tailored." Two women, two different style philosophies: same love of bargain buys. The clothes on display appeal to the average college student. There is a great variety of shirts and an awesome array of sassy scarves. The style is reminiscent of brands such as Pacsun and Sun Diego. The clothes match the classic California beach aesthetic. In other words, the clothes are laidback. In general, the vibe is youthful, vivacious and carefree. The garments are very rea- sonably priced ranging from $8.00-$35.00, although the vast majority are priced under $20.00. I still recall my purchase last semester, a gray jersey cardigan that I was planning to buy from Urbanoutfitters for a mere $12.00. Originally, the same jersey cardigan was available online for $30.00. I got it for less than half the price. Needless to say, I was ecstatic and decided it was in my best interest to buy another cardigan the next day. Overall, I purchased two cardigans for a price less then the original. I left satisfied and my wallet was equally grateful. If you have the patience and time I would recommend browsing through Papp's clothes, you never know what you'll find. Five movies to watch on Valentine's Day Women and men will enjoy any of these movies BY DIANA VALDIVIA Pride Staff Writer Sometimes it's hard to find one movie that you and your . significant nthpr wmilH Vintfo like to watch. Here are 5 movie picks that couples can watch together on Valentine's Day. 1. P.S.

You Word(s) 40-Watt \ will laugh and cry, and laugh some more with this great movie. 2. Knocked Up! Not as much of a guy movie .as. "Superbad". yet not as much of a girl movie as "27 Dresses." "Knocked Up!" is a hilarious comedy that will have you laughing for quite some time. 3. Kung Fu Panda "Kung Fu Panda" is a quirky animated comedy about the unexpected hero that will make you cheer for him throughout the movie. You are never too old to watch this movie. 4 .1 Am Legend Will Smith hardly disappoints his audience and "I am Legend" is not an exception. "I Am Legend" has the scary and suspense elements that both of you will love. 5. Dark Knight If you have not seen "The Dark Knight" yet you are definitely missing out. It might be long movie to sit through but it will not disappoint you. The suspense will keep you at the edge of your seat and did I mention there is a love story within the main plot?

Park o n ^ i f i l i i l l There were no injuries or fatalities on the campus, but the building damage is extensive. The library and science buildings suffered significant damage. The South Library which houses the campus computing center has been condemned and Science Buildings 1 and 2 experienced chemical fires. The 2,447parking structure is destroyed. Most of the University Park Apartments are stable but will require repairs before students can move back in. Because so many buildings are not safe, the campus will rent nearly 300portable trailers to use for classroom and faculty o ffice sp&ce. Gov. Wilson also said that they will rent nearby offices and use other colleges and schools for classes. The Latino Association of Faculty and Staff and the Associated Students of CSU San Marcos have joined hands in providing disaster relief to our neighbors, friends and relatives in the Los Angeles area. According to CSUSM's Chief of Police, Arnold P. Trujillo, a grand total of $ 1,227 was collected. The money will be donated to the American Red Cross with the request that "this money be used to assist the earthquake victims in the Los Angeles area," says Trujillo. Chief Trujillo and Public Safety Officers Bob Wheeler and Dave Ross were at the scene the Monday morning of the earthquake offering assistance to local law enforcement at the Northridge campus site.

There have been three surveys prior to SNAPS-94; the last was conducted in 1989. All CSU campuses participated in SNAPS-89 with the exception of San Diego State. All 20 campuses will be participating in SNAPS-94. In administering the survey, each campus will follow a uniform procedure which consists of surveying a sample of students in randomly selected courses during the middle of the Spring. At CSUSM we will start the survey process in late February or early March. We will survey about 750 students in order to submit at least 500 completed surveys. Surveys are submitted to the Chancellor's Office and the responses are used to develop a systemwide report which helps the CSU present an accurate picture of its student body in a public and systematic way. In 1989 800 copies of the SNAPS report were distrib- San Marcos/tpaComar Writing Center Opens uted nationally to public and private entities. Some of the information in the Executive Summary of the 1989 SNAPS report indicates that over two-thirds of CSU students were also employed and a majority of respondents were classified as "commuter students." Among the problems impeding students' efforts to achieve their educational goals, personal factors were cited more frequently than institutional factors; financial problems were ranked most often by 44 percent of the respondents. Among 18 potential campus reforms, the option to "offer summer courses at regular fees" was chosen by 40 percent of the sample; the second most popular reform was to "improve the parking situation." Each campus will receive a dataset of the responses submitted by its students so that analysis can take place campus by campus. Responses are, of course, confidential and data will be reported only in aggregate form. The CSUSM data should help all of us better understand the needs and opinions of our students. Institute The Writing Center staff wants to welcome all returning and new students to a friendly place that helps to advance written academic assignments—the Writing Center. The doors opened Feb. 9 at 9 AM. The tutor corps of the Writing Center offers a skilled group of students whose foundation in writing theory and practices come from English494 (Theory and Practice of College Writing). The tutors aim to foster academic quality writing from the painless perspective of a good friend who is interested in advaDcirig meaningful written analysis and creative expression. Students at any phase of an assignment—brain-storming, editing, revision or final draft inspection—are all part of the tutorial staff s field of experience.

A press conference was held on Dec. 7 at SDSU by Gina Nunez, V.P. of External A ffairs at SDSU and myself, Michelle Sadova. The focus was to encourage Wilson to place higher education within a category of immediate attention rather than focusing on the construction of prisons as a way to remedy crime. He responded, "As Governor, I 've opened five new prisons. Tonight, I propose that we offer $2 billion worth of bonds to build six more. There will be those who protest such costs. They'll complain that they would prefer to spend the money on higher education rather than more prisons. Well, so would I. But this is not a matter of choice." Sounds pretty good, right?

Bear as Acting Vice President for Institutional Advancement. The adoption of CSU Trustee policy asks each CSU campus to raise—over time— in excess of 10 percent above and beyond its state funds appropriation. Mr. Bear, who recently retired as a Senior Vice President from Hughes Aircraft and as Chair of San Diego's United Way, will join us for the remainder of the fiscal year in the manner of United Way's "loaned executive." That is, he will donate his time to the university at no salary or benefits. Bear was asked to accept the title of a position recommended by the Chancellor and adopted by the Trustees in their action last week. He will be asked to assist the university in its push during the remainder of the year to meet its 1994 fundraising goals and to assist in developing a strategic plan that addresses the campus responsibility to raise nearly $2.5 million for 1994-95 and Bear will coordinate the University's efforts in fundraising, public affairs, and alumni relations. Assisting Bear will be Jane Lynch in Development, Norma Yuskos in Public Affairs and, to a small extent, Tanis Brown in developing Alumni Affairs.

Computer Competency Requirement—source of student concern K arin Foster Staff Writer CSUSM has a requirement that like the writing requirement, is unique from other state universities—the Computer Competency Requirement (CCR). CSUSM requires that every student fulfill this requirement before the end of their second semester at CSUSM. Originally, this requirement coordinated with CSUSM's writing requirement. Faculty wanted to be assured that students knew how to use a word processor and could apply this skill in producing the 2,500 word writing assignment required in every class. The second semester deadline meant that students would be computer literate early in their studies at CSUSM. Mary Atkins, Labs and Computer Competency Coordinator, explained that students can fulfill the CCR in a variety of ways. Students can take an approved course at a community college, take a computer exam, or take a computer course at CSUSM that fulfills the requirement. Before taking a computer course at a community college, students should check with Admissions and Records for a list of all applicable classes. Those students wishing to fulfill the CCR through an exam can also take a workshop to help them prepare for the exam. Many students opt to take a computer class here at CSUSM. This semester the Computer Science Department offered 14 classes that met the CCR requirement. Of these, nine sections of CS 304 were offered. This class examines computer issues and provides basic computer skills. However, not all students have been completely satisfied with these computer classes. Students who have taken CS 304 do not feel the class has made them computer literate. The semester divides basic computer knowledge with word processing, spreadsheets, database and computer programming. The amount of material covered in one semester does not al- low the student to gain ample skills in any specific area. Atkins explained that CS 304 does not aim to make students computer literate. "Hopefully, students will take what they learn and run with it." CS 304 acts as an introductory course which offers students basic computer instruction. Students who had little computer experience will still need to develop their computer skill after completing this course. Other students have voiced concerns about classes having more students than available computers. Similar to learning to drive, learning to use a computer requires hands-on experience. Students enrolled in computer classes feel their computer time in class is restricted. Atkins explained that this situation is typical at universities stating that "the concept of one computer for every person is unusual." Students taking computer classes should expect to spend time in the computer lab or with their home computer in order to strengthen their skills. Those students who have not fulfilled the CCR should be aware that this requirement must be completed by the end of their second semester. For those students who make a strenuous effort to completely avoid computers, Atkins advises, "Don't procrastinate. People should not feel intimidated by the Computer CompetencyRequirement. This school makes a conscious effort to help people pass; however, this does not mean waiving the requirement." The original goal of computer literacy for all students by their second semester at CSUSM may have been a little optimistic. However, most students will have at least developed alittle computer knowledge. They should know how to turn one on.

LOVE CAREFULLY DURING VALENTINE'S WEEK S usan M endes, LYN Health Education Assistant The week of February 14 -18 is designated by the American College Health Association as National Condom Week. This seems especially appropriate for a holiday celebrating love and romance. In conjunctipn with this theme, the Student Health Services Health Education Department and Student Health Advisory Board are hosting a number of events on campus. On Monday, Feb. 14, S.H.A.B. Members will be giving out safer sex information and free condoms at a table in Founders' Plaza. Also there will be film viewing in Commons206from 11 A M-1 PM. Students may drop in during these hours to view short film segments or they may stay for the entire presentation. On Tuesday, Feb. 15, five North County AIDS Organizations will have information tables in Founders' Plaza from 10 AM - 2 PM and will be available to answer questions about their free services. In the event of rain, they will be in Commons 206 from 1 PM — 3 PM. In addition, Martha Baron will be displaying J ohnny's Quilt and showing a touching video interview about a family that died of AIDS. On Wednesday, Feb. 16, from 11 AM t pl PM in Founders' Plaza, Earl Storm will present information on the " Don't Duck Responsibility" campaign from the non-profit Stepping Stone Project. The program has HIV information and graphics, including a cartoon depicting Buckminster Duck, who is the program mascot. The object of the pro- gram is to educate the community on the direct risk between alcohol use and HIV transmission and progression. The group presents a caring and rational approach to responsible behavior. Also on Wednesday, there will be an HIV Awareness lecture in Commons 206 from 2 PM—3PM. Based on the Red Cross format, the lecture will be followed by a question and answer session. EVENTS SCHEDULE J oel G rinolds, M D, M PH Unless you have been stuck on a tropical island over the past few months, you probably have heard or read many reports on Health Care Reform. Numerous approaches to reform are being discussed, offering everything from incremental reform and single payer systems (like the Canadian model) to the complex and far-reaching Clinton plan. Clinton's plan and others are now being discussed in Congress and some movement is expected in this term. Conceptually, there seems to be agreement on several aspects that should be important to students including universal coverage, standard benefits, quality standards, insurance reform, antitrust and liability reform, eligibility for all applicants,federal subsidies for poor/low income participants, administrative simplification, improved purchasing power of consumers, maintaining a variety of providers (Health Maintenance Organizations, fee for service, hybrids) encouragement of primary, preventive, and managed care. The various plans d iffer on the following elements: mandatory employer-paid premiums, mandatory participation in regional alliances (without getting into detail, the alliances would pool consumers into a large purchasing group then bargain with local health plans for low-cost quality care), cost controls, plan costs. Although health care reform will have a major impact on students, the reformers initially did not include the 13-14 million post secondary education population or their existing health care system (i.e., Student Health Centers) in their deliberations or specifically in their plans. What does reform mean for college health? In short, nobody really knows. This probably could be said for the general population. The good news is that potentially all students will have access to medical care. Also, the emphasis in reform is the provision of comprehensive primary and preventive medical care which is the major objective of college health. The American College Health Association and others have identified key players in health care reform on Capital Hill and has developed an informativepacket and a letter that identifies key concerns. The packet also describes the unique health care needs of the college health population and the Student Health Service model that currently provides accessible, affordable, prevention-oriented primary care as well as health education to the broader campus community. Stay tuned. Generally it is thought that a plan will not be implemented quickly. However, it surely will have an impact. In future columns I will discuss the plan or plans and their impact as they unfold. For further information, Dr. Grinolds can be reached at Student Health Services, 752-4915. M onday.

L angham Service-Learning Coordinator Katherine Johnson-LeVesque loves to inform others about volunteer opportunities. She enjoys being part of a solution, developing skills, and learning about new things. She has designed the logo for CSUSM's Volunteer Day, Saturday, February 26, 1994. Katherine, a senior, majors in psychology with a minor in women's studies. Volunteering is central in her life. She explains that, "Volunteering has a ripple effect. What I have found is that the people I help, eventually help someone else." "Giving has always felt good to me and I like connecting to the spirit of another" Learning how things work motivates Katherine. For example, she volunteered to work at the UC San Diego HIV Neuro-Behavioral Research Center. As a volunteer providing clerical support and data input in the psychiatry department, she observed the process of research design, data collection and publication, as well as how psychological testing was conducted. Becoming a part of the solution instead of just talking about a problem encapsulates Katherine's philosophy. For the past five years, she has been lecturing in the community and at local community colleges informing people about the effects of domestic violence, child abuse, and sexual abuse on individuals and society. Her goal is to bring about social change through raising public con- sciousness and encouraging people to get into treatment so that the devastating effects of trauma in the family can be alleviated. Katherine currently volunteers with several groups. In addition to her educational presentations described above, she also provides support, guidance, and referrals for survivors of abuse. At Being Alive, an HTV/ AIDS women and children's resource center, she volunteers as a receptionist and assists clients and their families tq deal with their emotional adjustment, Wfiether "infected" or " affected" by this disease. This year, Katherine is the Program Coordinator for the PTA at Hickman Elementary School. Ethnic Diversity, Women's History, AIDS Education, and Dad's Involvement in Children's Education are among the programs she has created. These topics were inspired by courses she has taken at CSUSM. Most recently, Katherine developed a 4 hour program for her daughter's 6th grade GATE (gifted) program on the physiology of the brain. Using a sheep's brain, she taught students its anatomy and functions. She explained that since no one's brain works perfectly , we are all slightly different, unique, and that each of us has something special to offer. With the strong belief that you can make lemonade out of lemons, Katherine has volunteered in the past with assistance to the homeless and to immigrants, in designing and sewing clothes for the disabled, in teaching puppeteering, crafts, and cooking through her church youth and women's groups, visiting the elderly, and tutoring in the elementary school classrooms. "Anyone can overcome loneliness and add interest to their lives," Katherine stresses. Photo/Mary Szterpakiewicz "Giving has always felt good to me and I like connecting to the spirit of another. I have a lot to be thankful for, and like to use my talent and capabilities to assist others." In this spirit, Katherine is an active participant of the Outreach Sub-Committee of the Service-Learning Committee planning for Volunteer Day on campus on Saturday, February 26,1994. For the future, Katherine plans to continue her volunteer activities and to develop a scholarship especially f or disadvantaged youth who come from a background of abandonment, neglect, or abuse. Her motivation is to help these youth create new and better lives for themselves. While Katherine was volunteering at an outpatient center for severely depressed and schizophrenic patients, one of the men remarked after listening to Katherine tell about her activities, that she must be extremely organized to "do it all!" That marked the first time that Katherine reflected on the effectiveness of her time management and prioritizing in everything she does. And, yes, she still spends quality time with her family and enjoys her life. Enjoying volunteering makes life more meaningful and more fun! OLUNTEER DAY Saturday, February 26 �Circle K lends time at Vista Soup Kitchen C laire K . L angham Service-Learning Coordinator Volunteer Day is not until the end of this month, but members of Circle K have been volunteering their services to help others weekly. Ann Garman, President of Circle K, not only directs club activities, but personally becomes involved in community service. Among the 30 m embers, C atherine Yeats spearheaded getting C SUSM's c lub to volunteer at the Soup Kitchen on Thursday evenings in Vista's Grace Presbyterian Church. At Circle K 's weekly meetings on campus, students sign up to help serve meals at this local soup kitchen. Wendy Dresher has been helping 2 or 3 times a month for several months. She observed, ' The first time people go there, they anticipate that everyone is homeless - but that is not the case. For some, their social security or other limited income runs out before the end of the month and they haven't enough for food." Scott Morey went to assist at the soup kitchen for the first time last week and will be going to help again. "It is very rewarding to go there and help people who are needy because they are so appreciative," Wendy added. Kevin Kilpatrick emphasized the same comment. Kevin said that he can really relate to the homeless. "They are just like the rest of us - they have hopes and dreams, and have experienced disappointments too." Wendy went on to explain, "By the end of the month, there are about 70 people of all ages, from newborns to elderly, at the soup kitchen. Most people though, are between thirty and forty years old.'4 Kevin talks with the homeless. "The homeless are people too. We have intelligent conversations with them." The people who come to the soup kitchen ask the Circle K student volunteers about their university experience-— what they are studying and their career goals. Kevin described avoidance as people's typical behavior toward the homeless. In contrast, he asks them if they are staying warm at night, especially with the cold winter nights. "When it rains, its very wet unless they can find an overhang." Kevin acknowledges that there are a f ew homeless we should b e wary of, but this is also the case with people in general. The interesting thing that Kevin notes is that there is a real camaraderie among the homeless —they look out for one another. He added, "These people are really appreciative of the assistance provided. They piteh in and help with the cleanup afterwards. It shows that they are not j ust taking advantage of society's generosity." If you are interested in knowing more about Circle K, please contact the Student Activities Office.

The boat is certified to accommodate 94 whale watchers. Harvey chose the Apollo for several reasons. "It holds 94. It is one of the nicest boats and Captain Jeff Johnson was most generous in working with me." Harvey said. Radio stations KCEO (95.9 FM) and KCET (1000 AM) interviewed Sigma Phi Delta last Sunday. The fraternity spoke about CSUSM and promoted their whalewatching fund-raiser at the same time. The radio interview is on reserve in the school archives section of the CSUSM library. Sigma Phi Delta is now coordinating group trips aboard the Apollo. Harvey was approached by Japanese students at UCSD who are interested in an English as A Second Language whale-watching trip. Harvey is currently working o naCSUSMFaculty whale-watching excursion. Tickets must be bought in advance and are available for purchase from any Sigma Phi Delta member. For more information call 967-6523. After "raising as much money as possible" for the Earthquake Relief Fund, Harvey will organize a benefit for the Association of Retarded Citizens (ARC). Sigma Phi Delta may host an Open Invitational Miniature Golf Championship in April with proceeds going to ARC. �CSUSM Prepares for Volunteer DaySaturday, February 26 Learning Disabilities J ohn S egora • • • ' • Coord^or£DisaWedStudent Services \!f 'f^ • What 1$ A Learning DkabiUtyf - ' MMmt-^ nature ^ and M vidiials with A .... ^ m m ^ M ^ h ^vistial ^ f r n m mw at-birth I . inoi^ttj^^jim^ai^ tfet^dl^^te^^ tes^ilil^ <fisiWliiy i result of another Ifowbv^ Wfo* Has A Z^^ . ifeftd^ ^ d^abiHtf i f r D isahil$# S ocialist at # l ^&fai; S i e h i l ^^^^^^^^^^ wtth a l eaning n (Learairig a fypiM university; ; a P ^ s i b i l ^ ^ t t j c l p s e t o 200 students wi(h oiih&Qr p ^ a • disabled popu|atibn are ^ver identified a n d S t Y es.

California State University San Marcos has a special role in the North San Diego County area, and in the spirit of community partnership, the university initiates and offers programs to further intellectual, professional, and personal development within the diverse community which it serves. Volunteer Day activities on Saturday Feb. 26, 1994, in the spirit of community partnership, center around youth, the environment, the elderly, a museum exhibit, and assistance with tax preparation for lowincome individuals. The kick-off rally is in Commons 206 from 8 to 9 AM. Mayor Lee B. Thibadeau, who has proclaimed Feb. 26,1994 as Volunteer Day in the City of San Marcos, will participate. Volunteer activities start at 9 and continue to noon both on campus and in the community. Many CSUSM clubs and organizations are volunteering their time to assist the next generation to envision a university education in their future. They are joining together to provide campus tours and funfilled workshops to youngsters invited from San Marcos schools, Boys and Girls Clubs, and Key Clubs from the surrounding community. The following clubs are participating: the Liberal Studies Student Association, the Computer Club, the Student California Teachers Association, Circle K, the Silver Shield, El Club de las Americas, M.E.Ch.A., the Association of Business Students, and the Pan African Student Alliance. Environmental volunteer service is at nearby Discovery Lake Park. Earth Club, the Associated Students, and the 3-D orga- nization along with a Girl Scout troop, will focus their services on sprucing up the park and creating a nature display. The Accounting Society will help low income individuals with their tax preparation, and the Argonaut Society will prepare a new exhibit for the San Marcos Historical Society and Museum. Key College Opportunities plans to continue their services to seniors in San Marcos. The Knights also plan to continue with their c lub's involvement in Special Olympics. English language students from Japan will join in a variety of the on-going activities. The Japanese Culture Exchange Club is planning a potluck for the volunteers after all events have been completed that day. Students from Soc 309 Aging and Society, as part of Service-Learning in the course, will assist at the Elder/Adult Care Annual Public Forum sponsored by the San Marcos Family Care Commission at the San Marcos Joslyn Senior Center. Participation is welcome and students, staff, and faculty can sign up in the Associated Students Office to join in activities organized by CSUSM clubs and associations. Many hands not only make the work lighter, but more enjoyable. Volunteer Day will provide an opportunity for students and our local community to participate in cooperative services. These activities fulfill several university goals including outreach and cooperation with our broader community, promotion of civic pride and responsibility, and initiation of contacts f or service-learning. A number of our faculty are encouraging service-learning in their classes to link real-life experience through service to the theories and concepts taught in the course. Service-Learning host Dwight Giles California Center for the Arts Galleries B ecome Museum The Service-Learning Committee enthusiastically anticipates upcoming guest lecturer, Dwight Giles, of Vanderbilt University. Giles will be speaking at CSUSM on Monday, Feb. 21 and Tuesday, Feb. 22. Giles, an expert in the field of servicelearning, has been granted a three-year FIPSE grant dealing with learning outcomes in the field of service-learning. His talk entitled, "What Is This Thing Called Service-Learning: Working Through Definitional Confusion," will be addressed to the CSUSM campus on Feb. 21 from Noon-1:30 PM. Everyone is invited to attend. This month the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, designated 9,000 square feet of gallery space at the $75 million arts center as the California Center for the Arts Musuem. The Museum will be a permanent nonprofit institution, essentially educational and humanistic in purpose, which will own, study, care for, and regularly exhibit and interpret works of art to the public. The new museum will curate exhibitions of regional, national and international artists and host traveling exhibitions, as well as establish a Permanent Collection of art from the 20th century, with an emphasis on American and regional art. �The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws. — Tacitus CSUSM Writing Requirement -mindless labor or intellectual growth Roy Latas Legislature Sidesteps the Real Issues Staff Writer Students* interests in issues such as free speech, child care and Student Union fees gain and lose momentum, yet the All University Writing Requirement (AUWR) constantly sparks opinions from students and faculty. The initial grousing of first semester students translates to praise and thanks from graduating seniors. Up to this point in our academic careers, there has been a general lack of emphasis on English composition skills in American education which has caused American industrial and economic institutions to question the academic standards that allow colleges and universities students to graduate without adequate writing skills. CSUSM is trying to remedy this situation with the AUWR. The definition of the AUWR, as stated in the 1992-1993 University Catalog, is: "Students are advised to note that every course at California State University, San Marcos has a writing requirement component of2,500 words. This requirement can be filled in a variety of ways, depending on the course." This impersonal sounding writing r equirement r epresents the F ounding Faculty's intention of creating a graduating population instilled with exemplary writing skills. They hoped the AUWR would furnish a mechanism that insured all graduates received sufficient opportunity to use and improve their writing skills. The AUWR makes it necessary for all students to write within a variety of disciplines in varying contexts from literature to biology. The Founding Faculty also understood the demand for clear, concise, and logically written communication in the postgraduate areas of employment and graduate school, as well as in family and social contexts. The implementation of the AUWR takes a variety of forms depending on the discipline and faculty member. A common form is the 2,500 word paper. Here, the student makes an in-depth study of a particular topic and presents a detailed report that condenses many information sources into a 3 Strikes You're Out clear and compact analysis. Other faculty members may assign several smaller papers during the semester, thereby reducing student stress levels, as well as the instructor's laborious task of grading multitudes of long papers at one time. The format of a paper or assignment presents an infinite array of possibilities. Some professors employ written work in the form of diaries, screenplays, journals, letters, or novella, promoting a new critical frame for the student to exercise his or her analytical perspective. These formats challenge the students' minds to realize alternative connections within the subject matter while increasing the students' creative freedom, and making the task less intimidating. The journal is the most popular alternative form of writing. Journal entries are devoted to the preceding week's discussions; the journal condenses the student's comprehension of new material while allowing the professor an insight into the absorption of lecture information. The journal entries allow the professor to understand when issues are cloudy and make adjustments or reviews when necessary. The faculty relies on the AUWR to furnish students with an additional opportunity to decipher what they learn through writing, and reassemble classroom information in a way that demonstrates understanding of the concepts. Writing theorist Peter Elbow calls this process "cooking.' "Cooking means getting material to interact." The interaction of thoughts creates new material that the student can interpret which may include segments of classroom experience and personal insight. This process is assimilation not memorization. The student undergoes a metamorphosis through conceptual analysis. Elbow also reminds his readers that "[g]rowing means getting words to evolve through stages," not overnight. The intent of the AUWR is growth within the student, and we all have felt some growing pains. However, our new stature has the foundation of improved writing skills. THE PRIDE, CSUSM Student Newspaper, San Marcos, California 92096-0001, (619) 752-4998 EDITOR-IN-CHIEF: Mary Szterpakiewicz BUSINESS MGR/ADVERTISING: Sheryl Greenblatt COPYEDITORS: Donald Beran, Roy Latas, Anita Williams LAYOUT EDITOR: Krista Thornton PHOTOGRAPHY: Carlos Mariscal, Mary Szterpakiewicz STAFF WRITERS: Karin Foster, Amy Glaspey, Peter Gorwin,Thomas Lee Huntington, Roy Latas CONTRIBUTORS: Claire K. Langham, Susan Mendes, Joel Grinolds, MD, John Segoria By Thomas Lee Huntington Staff Writer In theory, it is difficult to argue against any of the five "3 Strikes and You're Out" crime bills currently in front of the California state senate. All the bills guarantee stiffer sentences for any criminal convicted of a second violent felony and life imprisonment if convicted of a third. Certainly, violent crime has reached epidemic proportions in American society and it is obvious that something must be done. The "3 Strikes" concept has provided politicians with an unprecedented opportunity to look tough on crime without alienating any powerful voting lobby. Even President Clinton, in a State i of the Union address otherwise dedicated to health care and welfare reform, received his biggest bipartisan applause by reiterating his support of such a bill on the federal level. It is wise, though, (as it is with anything to which all politicians pay carefully calculated lip service) to maintain a healthy skepticism about the rash of current crime legislation. In California, the "3 Strikes" frenzy was fueled in large part by the murder of Polly Klaas, the young child kidnapped from her living room and brutally killed by aconvicted felon. Klaas' story mesmerized the nation, in large part because it symbolized the encroachment of violent crime into suburbia. "Are our children no longer safe in their own homes?" parents everywhere wondered. Many of those parents had political pull, and the conviction that something must be done to keep violent criminals behind bars and out of our neighborhoods eventually reached the state legislature. The Klaas case was a horrible tragedy. But horrible tragedies are the norm in many of our inner cities, a fact which seems to have escaped our governmental leaders for quite some time. A child in Watts has not been safe in her own living room for a long time now. She has not been safe on her way to school, in her classroom, on the playground or on her way home. She has been forced to live with the fact that violence is a way of life in her community. Streets burned, buildings were looted, a city was ignited and the California legislature did nothing to address crime in the inner city. There has been no legislation aimed at creating economic opportunities for the young people in Los Angeles most likely to turn to crime. There has been no increase in police protection in urban areas plagued by constant gang warfare. There has been no attempt to stop crime before it starts by engaging in the kind of honest discourse about values and community that elected officials are so afraid of. The same politicians who turned their back as our cities turned into war zones now purport to end crime as we know it by guaranteeing a few stiffer sentences. I t's not a bad first step, but i t's hardly enough and i t's long overdue. Student Activist Collects Signatures Garrett Collins, English major, is an example of student activism at CSUSM. Garrett is busy these days collecting signatures to place the hemp initiative on the California ballot. The initiative would decriminalize the use, sale and cultivation of marijuana. You will find Garrett in front of Academic Hall 11 AM till noon over the next several days. If you would like to sign the initiative or have questions about it, Garrett will be happy to assist you. �WWttiers to the Editor The future of Higher Education Hatred Is Alive and Well M ary Szterpakiewicz Editor-in- Chief Dear Editor: I want to acknowledge a writer among us who chooses to communicate a detestable message.

Input from faculty, $tudeiits;staff and the business community is Invited to explore the future of higher education, A recent is^ueof the Economist referred to today- s/universities as "towers of babble" raising serious issues facing higher education. What are the goals of universities today? Are they meeting the needs of the marketplace? What should be the purpose of a tax-supported institution? The public university, like other government institutions, is slow to change. Revered as instruments of enlightenment in the past, today government treats higher education like an inefficient Nationalized industry. Once considered the engine of economic growth, today's university is becoming a dinosaur, concerned more with image than impafct te^^^ away from tiiii#rsities for advice and rese^rcto; turning to think-tanks such as the ffiritafe^'F^ndation^-CATO Institute and l&ftnci^^ The' taostfre-, quejiteom^ are t hat'toiyersilies -We f illed with 1960s dogooders and that "academics rarely give 'y^u^ fWiinoney ;.»[and] star professors are perpetually on sabbatical." With fees skyrocketing, and college enrollment declining, what docs the future hold ifor tdmoitow's college graduate? The computer is probably partially responsible. An enormous array of information is available at the fingertips of every nimble typist with a modem for a fraction of the cost of a college education. By way of Compuserve, Prodigy and Internet we can access thousands of online databases and hold discussions with experts from around the globe. Video tape is another medium which offers practical, educational applications for a fraction of the cost of a college education. Palomar College introduced the TV course, where you can study accounting, anthropology or Spanish in the comfort of your home. Rising costs and declining revenues are forcing universities to re-evaluate priorities. University costs, according to The Economist, rise much faster than inflation because they are labor intensive (wages rise faster than prices). Even Ivy League colleges are teetering on alienating the middle class, leaving these legendary institutions to the idle rich. Politicians are questioning whether the money could better be spent on other things. Private industry has been much better at harnessing the information revolution than its public-sector counterparts. The market must adapt quickly to the needs of J N marketplace, or die. Tlie combination of academic tenure and cumbersome decision-making tends to preserve old institutions rather than expand or create new ones. • % Governments bent on reform are looking at three popular strategies. The first uses the market approach with government playing the role of the purchaser, By linking funding to performance and separating research funds from money for teaching, government has provided two distinct ways of boosting a university's i ncomeincreasing the number of pupils or improving the quality of their research. British universities are pursuing these different avenues for survival producing remarkable results within a short period of time. Oxford, Cambridge and the like, emphasizeresearch. The next top 10 schools have a mix of both research and a teaching focus, while a third group focuses primarily on teaching. While academics regard thisas an affront to their dignity, this scheme - A second approach in cutting costs is to simply shift funds to cheaper institutions like community colleges and innovative sources of higher education, like workstudy programs, distance learning, and getting credit for life and work experience. A third strategy is for universities to diversify their funding. Rather than relying solely on government funds, universities should market their research to local industry. In the U.S., industry-sponsored research has more than quadrupled in the past decade. This would serve to create a better rapport with the business community, and attract funding as well as provide a purpose for graduates. Raising fees is another way to diversify funding. While critics complain that this would curtail expansion, in Britain, "free" education has done little to bring the hordes to the sanctuary. The fact remains that local, state and federal governments are putting a limit on educational funding. Universities must accept the fact that governments are becoming increasingly reluctant to fund higher education. California's school system once satisfied private industry s demand for technical research, physicists, chemists and engineers that fueled the dramatic growth of the California economy. These positions are now predominantly staffed by foreigntrained graduates. Can higher education meet the needs of an ever-changing marketplace? �I'll Take Anything" holds up despite drastic revisions 66T? Thomas Lee Huntington Staff Writer It is no secret that James L. Brooks' new film I'll Do Anything began life as a fullfledged Holly wood musical. It was an ambitious idea, but test audiences were so turned off by the musical numbers that Brooks felt compelled to rework the entire film. The director edited and reshot to such a degree that the only semblance remaining of the film's previous incarnation is a solitary song T M ouie R euiew by five year old Whittni Wright. The film holds up surprisingly well after such drastic revision, mainly on the strength of the acting and Broolcs' ear for witty and insightful dialogue. Nick Nolte heads the cast, portraying a down-on-his-luck actor forced to take in the six year old daughter he hasn't seen for two years. Albert Brooks is an action film producer obsessed with the bottom line and Julie Kavner is a public opinion pollster who runs tests screenings and can utter nothing but the truth. Wright is truly a discovery as the bratty, precocious child with whom Nolte must re-establish a bond. The plot is unimportant in a film such as this, where most of the pleasure comes in watching the actors inhabit their roles. Nolte is outstanding as a likable guy struggling to come to terms with the realities of parenthood and Hollywood at the same time; the best scenes in the film are between Nolte and Wright. Their exchanges seem genuine and honest because the characters have been so well crafted and written with such care. The laughter and tears this father—daughter relationship invokes are not easy and sentimental; the actors earn the sentiment. Less successful is the subplot involving a romance between Brooks and Kavner. Both actors are superb, especially Brooks. His producer character could easily have been a stock stereotype, an easy villain for a film about the film industry. But, perhaps because the director is also himself a producer, the role is given complexity and even a degree of likableness. It is not difficult to see why the kind, giving character played by Kavner would be attracted to such a person. But the romance is inadequately explored. Perhaps this is the area where the music played an integral role and the reshooting and editing couldn't completely cover that gap. Nonetheless, I'll Do Anything is an extremely likable, well-written film about a group of interesting, complex people. It is difficult to imagine the movie as a musical, which is probably a tribute to Brooks editing ability and an indication that he ultimately made the correct decision.

Dr. Thompson took a critical look at public policy regarding crime, and the impact this legislation will have on the African-American community. As the economy begins to recover, politicians have started shifting their focus from economic concerns to the issues of crime and violence. President Clinton reflected this trend in his address to the nation. Dr. Thompson commented that the President's " Three Strikes You're Out' was the centerpiece of the President's State of the Union address." The proposed "Three Strikes You're Out" legislation would sentence offenders convicted of a third violent felony to mandatory life imprisonment. Thompson criticized this type of legislation as representing "an imbalance between punishment and prevention." He argued that this policy would have minimal effects on crime, while depleting funds that could be used to address critical social needs. Furthermore, this legislation would most negatively effect the AfricanAmerican community. Thompson argues that legislators who support these bills use "faulty assumptions." Supporters declare that high imprisonment rates will lessen crime. In fact, Thompson stated studies prove the opposite is true. States that have the highest rate of incarceration have the most violent crime, while states that have the lowest rates have less violent crime. According to Thompson, supporters of PUBLIC SAFETY NEWS S LICK R OADS the "Three Strike" policy also promote the idea that mandatory sentencing will guarantee imprisonment of criminals. Thompson also argued that President Clinton is fully aware of problems that plague the AfricanAmerican community. Clinton acknowledges that crime has increased because of the breakdown of family and community. The President also recognizes that black youths need more employment opportunities. Yet, according to Thompson, Clinton chooses to promote legislation that will increase the breakdown of these values. He feels the President's policies towards crime ignore the underlying problems. African-American families are severely threatened by the high incarceration rate of young black men. Youths in prison cannot form stable families. Many of those incarcerated have turned to crime because their community lacks jobs that would allow them to support families or themselves. Lack of financial resources prevents these youths from seeking better employment in the suburbs. Limited opportunities for young black men often leads to crime as a solution for survival. Effective legislation would directly address these problems, Thompson believes. Rather than spend millions of dollars incarcerating criminals for their entire lives, money could be spent on programs that would offer disadvantaged youths alternatives to crime. Year-round sports programs, improved schools, and effective job-training centers could be implemented as a means of preventing youths from engaging in crime. Criminals already imprisoned should receive counseling to develop stronger social skills, while receiving employment training and education. Education and training in prison could provide incentive and motivation to find work after release. Dr. Thompson did not deny the seriousness of violent crime, or the fact that society must punish violent offenders. However, the seriousness of this problem should cause legislators to create laws that work towards genuine solutions. American society is demanding the reduction of violent crime. Dr. Thompson argues that although President Clinton's proposals may appear tough, they will do little or nothing to solve America's violent crime problem.

American Heart Association �GHANA TRIP Voluntary Support Tops $100 Million Mark scheduled for Winter of 1994 Professor Amoaku has just returned from Ghana and is enthusiastic to share his experiences and help a group of students, staff and faculty, plan for their own Ghana trip for Winter 1994. The Ghana Project has arranged a question, answer and planning meeting for Wednesday, Feb. 17 at 4:15 PM in ACD305. We have identified the follwing goals for the Spring: • Fundraising • Trip logistics (passports, shots, schedules etc.) • Program development on Ghana Exploration of issues of intercultural exchange In addition, Professor Amoaku has asked us to develop an application and selection process which will identify the group going on the Ghana winter trip by the end of May. It will be important that each participant is clear in his or her own goals and interests for participating and that the group has common goals and shares responsibility for the trip. We look forward to seeing you on Feb. 17 at 4:15 PM in ACD 305. Please sign-up at the Peer Advising Center, Craven 6200, if you are interested but are unable to attend the meeting. . For the first time, the 20 CSU campuses and Chancellor's Office have raised more than $ 100 million in voluntary contributions. In 1992/93, $109.4 million was raised, an increase of 10.8 percent from 1991/92's $98.7 million. CSU Long Beach led the campuses with $16.2 million, followed by San Diego State with $15.5 million, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with $10.9 million, and CSU Fresno with $10.8 million. The largest percentage increase was CSU Sacramento, which increased its private gifts 115 percent, from $4.0 million to $8.6 million. CSU San Bernardino showed a 101 percent increase, going from $1.0 million to $2.1 million. Corporate giving increased five percent in 1992/93, from $38.5 million to $40.4 million. San Jose State's alumni contributed the highest amount, $2.4 million, a 162 percent increase. In the past six years, contributions to the CSU have grown from $57.4 million in 1987/ 88 to $109.4 million in 1992/93, an increase of 91 percent. OTHER CSU NEWS: An update on plans for a new CSU campust at Fort Ord. Downsizing in the military has given the CSU an unprecedented opportunity to receive 1,300acres of Fort Ord in Monterey Bay for a new campus that eventually will accommodate 20,000 students by 2020. According to the progress report to the trustees give by J. Handel Evans, president of San Jose State University, and Peter Hoff, CSU senior vice chancellor for academic affairs,finalconveyance of the property by the federal government is expected by May, and the first group of students is expected by fall 1995. The federal government already has provided $15 million of an eventual $135 million that will be provided to the system to convert existing buildings to campus usage. Keeping Romance in Your Relationship P am F arrel Contributing Writer February is the month for lovers. Red and white hearts adorn the malls and everyone is in the mood for romance. However, in our society, romance and sex getinterchanged as if synonyms. Sex can often be a sultry killer to romance and can thwart a person from finding true love. Consider these findings: Mosts couples break up when a crisis pregnancy arises. There are no "STD" bouquets to send when you give your lover a sexually transmitted disease. A ccording to D ick Day and J osh McDowell, authors of "Why Wait," a sexual relationship can cloud your decision making process and your hormones can connect yout to someone that your heart knows isn't right. Studies have concluded that couples who live together prior to marriage are twice as likely to end up in divorce court. In a survey of the first graduating class of Cal State San Marcos students, 51 percent gave an okay to casual sex. but there is nothing casual about sex. Giving yourself' totally to another, bearing your body and soul isn't the same as having your usual morning cup of coffee. Perhaps we have all lsot sight of the difference between love and lust. Na- tionally know, psychologist, Steve Arterburn explains the difference between love and lust as— Love is personal, lust is impersonal. Love is concrete, focused on a particular object; lust is unfocused, capable of fixing on almost any object. Love tends toward faithfulness, lust is a wanderer. Love seeks stability, lust is short-lived and mercurial. Love is an affair of the mind and heart, lust is an affair of the emotions and hormones. Love is a matter of giving, lust is matter of taking. Musicians Steve and Annie Chapman have a line in one of their love songs, "True love starts with a kiss of hearts." To keep romance in your life, give your heart and keep your body until you hear, "With this ring, I thee wed." No matter your sexual history, you can make decisions today to protec t your future lovelife and ensure that romance becomes a lifestyle rather than a fleeting sentiment on a Hallmark card. Pam Farrel is a graduating senior who has coauthored a book with her husbandBill. Their book "Pure Pleasure: Making Your Marriage a Great Affair ** is due out in June. Pam is also a member ofS.A.LT., a Christian group on campus. Presidents, Faculty Receive Salary Increases Presidential salaries were increased for the first time in three years by the Board of Trustees. Five collective bargaining agreements, including one with the California Faculty Association, also were ratified, giving many employees their first general pay increases in several years. Effective April 1, salaries for the 20 presidents were raised an average of 8.6 percent. The annual average salary of a CSU president will be $130,461, up from $120,075. Two presidents serving in interim positions did not receive increases; when those permanent appointments are made, new salaries will be set. Approximately $17 million for salary increases for presidents and other CSU employees was set aside by trustees after the legialators augmented the CSU budget by $50 million for 1993/94.

Professor Patty Seleski, chair of the history department, compared it to juggling, as the needs of students and the budget that has been allocated by the dean have to be balanced. "It's the curse of middle management," she said. The course scheduling process is much more complex than most people realize, and thè upcoming budget crisis has only made it more complicated than before. Several factors must be juggled when the department chairs determine when, where, and how many sections of a course will be offered. The needs of both the major and of general education (GE) requirements are considered. Every department offers several GE courses, which must be taken by all students. Enough classes for the department's major also have to be offered, but these classrooms can be hard tofilldue to their specialized nature. An attempt is made to offer major courses at a variety of times, but usually only one section of a particular course is. offered per semester or year. Attempts are made to offer courses in "a consistent, predictable way," said the chair of the mathematics department, professor Linda Holt. If several classes are only available once per year, schedulers will attempt to consistently offer courses during the same semesters. Class A is always available in the spring, class B is always in the fall. These major classes are arranged like this to avoid conflict. See SCHEDULE, page 5 TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 11. 2003 STATE OF THE CAMPUS ADDRESS Tempers Flared as the State of the Campus Address, turned into a State of the Parking Address By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride Staff Writer A As President /\ Alex Gonzalez took i V . the stage, students started to gather around the microphone, like lions stalking their prey, as they anxiously waited their turns to ask questions of the panelists last Monday, Feb. 3. , " About 50 students gathered at the Mezzanine Plaza, with the unforgiving sun beating on panelists' heads, in order to find out what the school president and the panelists had to say about the current situation at Cal State/ San. Marcos. Gonzalez began by talking about the budget, and he said that the increase in parking fees is not related to the tuition hike. According to Gonzalez, the California state government does not fund parking facilities; money that is used to finance a parking structure must come directly through parking fees, therefore the increase in parking fees was needed and fees will continue and ASI Corporate Secretary to increase.

Local news has focused on troops leaving for the Gulf and the nationwide news has been focused on the words of President George Bush and Secretary of State Colin Powell. It is obvious that important decisions are being made during this and the last few months. These decisions are important to CSUSM students because they directly involve the young citizens, a large percentage of whom are members of the military. This is especially true with the large numberof CSUSM students who are currently enlisted in the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and service reserves. There are also approximately 600 CSUSM students who aire Veterans, according to Corkie Lee, veterans affairs representative at CSUSM.

Cal State San Marcos By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff Writer Students who attend California State University, San Marcos, know the university as CSUSM, Cal State San Marcos,, San Marcos State, and CSU San Marcos. What most students do not know is that the popular brand name of the school has been changed from CSUSM to Cal State San Marcos. Cal State San Marcos is the trademark that students, prospective students, faculty, staff, and off-campus community members see on official letterhead, business cards, and banners along Craven Drive and Campus View Way. Markings on university vehicles as of a year and a half ago have also been changed, based on a decision made by the Academic Program Committee and by recommendation of the Academic Program Marketing Task Force.

Iraqi Conflict f rom page 1 explained that knowing the definite number of students on active duty is difficult because they may not always inform the school about their military status. He did, however, explain th#t during this semester, the school is experiencing the largest number of students than ever before in CSUSM history who have not enrolled or dropped their classes due to deployment notices. Bills noted that many of the students who are still attending are getting forms to withdraw from classes for the same reason. largely based in Miramar and Camp Pendleton received deployment orders. Recently, 17,000 reservists were called into duty, bringing the total number of National Guard and reservists to over 110,000. With so many young people leaving on duty and San Diego's large military role, it brings the conflict close to home at CSUSM. History major Tory Acosta is in the process ofbeing commissioned by the Army aviation unit after he graduates in May. He said "some people [on campus] might think The office of the Dean of I'm war monger [because of my Students is also seeing an influx plans]."

Nick Roost, a biology major and senior, is a part of the Marine Enlisted Commissioning Program (MECP). As a member of MECP he plans to get his degree and become an officer in the Marines. Roost remains active duty enlisted, but due to his involvement in MCEP, he is unable to be deployed until he graduates. He said that he doesn't feel that the Iraq conflict is affecting his current experience at CSUSM. As final decisions about the conflict draw near, it is unavoidable that CSUSM students will be affected along with the rest of the nation. As students make decisions about their feelings about the possible war, friends and classmates are preparing to be involved directly, in the conflict, reminding this campus that war is never as far as the battlefield. the question about the curb parking Williams said that, "Parking services knew there would b e a tight crunch last semester therefore curb parking was allowed. Curb parking was ultimately suspended because " the risk outweighed the benefit." According to Williams, " This semester there is ample parking, even during the busiest times." Shuttles Parking and Curb A manda Davenport, Liberal Studies, asked about t he shuttles that ran last spring and were cancelled last semester, that she did not know about at the time because of improper advertising according t o Davenport, and why the shuttles were done away with. Davenport also asked about the curb parking and why that was stopped as well. "The shuttle service was not cost effective," Coordinator of Business and Technology Robert Williams answered, and so the service was stopped. Williams also added that [The San Diego Union Tribune every parking lot was less than 4/10 of a mile and contributed to this article.] students were not using the shuttle serviced To answer A s her voice cracked with intense emotion, President of the Black Student Union and student Honee Folk stated, "We lost a Black staff member and t wo students recently [who moved t o other campuses].

" The fact of the matter remains that there i s no push f rom any entity, department or administrator on campus to replenish the numbers we're losing, and you can forget about a move to increase those percentages!"

This is a typical struggle for students with learning disabilities, especially once they reach the college level. It is difficult for many to admit they are experiencing academic difficulties, but once they do, they no longer have to fight the battle alone. " I kept trying to brush off what was going on.

Rubella, Measles, and Mumps: Oh My! Student Health Services offers free M MR vaccinations By JASON PADILLA Opinion Editor There is still time to clear the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) immunization that is required by CSUSM. Students who are unsure about the current status of their immunization need to contact their physician or doctor in order to clarify the uncertainties. For students sure of their need, the Student Health Services (SHS) clinic will be offering free MMR vaccination shots on Friday Feb. 21, Mar 7 and March 21. MMR vaccines will be held at the SHS clinic located on the corner of corner of Craven and Twin Oaks and are available to all registered students. Those who cannot make the scheduled dates for vaccinations may schedule an appointment for another time. Able to spread from person to person through the air, Measles, Mumps and Rubella are serious diseases. Not only are they serious, but they can also be very annoying to students who find a MMR hold on their registration. The CSU system requires that all students be immunized to MMR prior to their first semester of being enrolled £t a CSU campus. Junior communication major Paul Anderson experienced this first hand. "I didn't even know that measles mumps or rubella was an issue, but apparently I needed the vaccine before I could register for my first semester at CSUSM a few years back," Anderson said. Anderson later went to the SHS clinic and received his vaccine. Many students may not be of the testicles or ovaries, and aware of their MMR vaccine status on occasion, death. The rubella because the shots are usually given (German measles) virus can cause at a very young age - one at 12 to rashes, mild fever, and arthritis 15 months old and the second at 4 (mostly in women).

The waiver includes a contractual agreement on behalf of the student, which states that in the event of an outbreak on campus, the student will not be allowed on campus until the outbreak is under control. It is also possible to get an MMR titer from a doctor or physician that establishes immunity to the diseases, and removes the requirement from a student's record at SHS. However, getting a simple immunization from the SHS clinic can be beneficial to avoid future registration conflicts, and for overall health and wellness; For more information or to double check mentioned facts, visit the SHS clinic at www.csusm.edu/ shs.

Major classes shouldn't conflict with each other. The idea is to let students have access, at some time of the day, to the classes they need. This is even further complicated by the fact that some departments provide prerequisite courses for other majors, or offer classes that are eligible for upper division GE credit. The departments try to work with each other in order to coordinate their schedules. The dean's office is responsible for making sure the schedule is "well balanced" , between GE and majors' courses, said Arts and Sciences Dean Spencer McWiUiams. FEATURE can only hold 35 students. The department chairs have very little control over when a classroom will be available. So, a popular class may be forced to use a smaller classroom. The department chairs interviewed also said that the concerns of instructors are another consideration. The appropriate teacher has to be matched to classes in which they have a certain degree of expertise; a teacher who specializes in vertebrate physiology is not the best choice to lead a microbiology class. Instructors also can't be scheduled at unreasonable hours. A teacher shouldn't have to teach one class at seven in the morning and one at five in the evening, or teach According to Cassel, the four classes in a row.

Each department also has to make certain that Full Time Equivalent Student (FTES) targets are met each semester. These targets are determined by the chancellor of the CSU, and are based on past enrollment. The dean's office then allocates the FTES to each department. There is some negotiation of FTES numbers between departments, but it is a finite number. Each department as a target enrollment uses the numbers, and it determines the budget for that particular department. A majority of the budget goes to f ull time employee salaries, with much of the remainder going toward operating expenses such as labs and equipment. The ambunt of money that each department receives is determined by how well they meet their FTES targets, so classes are scheduled at popular enrollment times. This is one reason there are not as many night sections; night sections don't enroll as heavily as night programs, due primarily day sections. to constraints such as expensive labs.

Also, the group felt that 'Cal State San Marcos seemed less formal, friendlier, and more welcoming to incoming students, who were our highest priority target group." The decision to make Cal State San Marcos the brand name trademark of the university was made in September 2000 by the Academic Program Marketing Task Force. This change was announced to the campus at the Fall Convocation a year and a half ago and put into effect at the start of the fall 2001 semester. An email was sent out to all the task force members to ask if they would comment on this meeting and the decision that was made, but few responded and the ones who did only referred The Pride to Rick Moore for the group's official statement. When asked if students were officially notified of this change and how, Moore stated, "Students were represented on the committee. I do not know if their representative 'officially' notified ASI or students. The change in the university mark did not affect the Cougar mark that is used by student groups." Why are students not in the know? Most students were unaware of this change to the brand name and were not sure why it took place. According to Moore, there was no known form of notification for the student body, because at the time there was no "in the loop" email and the Cougar Channel did not exist. Since the change took place a year and a half ago, there has not been a lot of discussion about it among the student body. Brodowsky added, "I wonder why, at this time, this is being followed up on as a high priority issue as if it were breaking news." In answer to his question, The Pride did not report on this issue at the time because it was not a public pertinent announcement that had been made to the student body, and now as the brand name is used, the focus on the correct term is at hand. According to Moore, the response to the change was stated as, "Enthusiastic acceptance. Some faculty were concerned that we had taken the word 'university' out of the mark, so we developed an academic mark for them to use in certain circumstances, such as when submitting papers or research findings and when conducting academic business outside of the northern San Diego region. Albie Hewlett, a senior communication major, also commented to the name brand change. "We as students are the ones who use this title to acknowledge our university. It is something as simple as a name that can help build an individual's school pride and this can be particularly important for a university like CSUSM!" Hewlett said. �Ü Campus B eat Question: INTO HIGH GEAR! "What does Valentine's Day mean to you?'

Que comprenda que no por que algunos mexicanos critiquen su película por coraje a su actitud, esto quiera decir que todo México la este atacando y que ella ataque a todos por igual y comience con su actitud arrogante a cambio. Como ya mencioné, a Salma Hayek se le han reconocido sus éxitos y se ha hablado muy bien de sus proyectos y de su talento. Tal parece que nada más busca pretextos para alejarse más de su país y divagar sólo las cosas negativas de la prensa mexicana. Si es la actriz que dice ser, debería de saber que no siempre se le van a dar halagos y aplausos. Sólo espero que antes de tener esa actitud tan negativa con México y la prensa, que trate de entender que su abandono es la causa de las persecuciones por parte de la prensa, que necesita ser un poco más accesible, y que todo actor profesional pasa por estas cosas, que ella no es la única.

Maybe if more students Graduate Student, Spanish By JASON PADILLA Opinion Editor like candy hearts and chocolate roses, Valentine's Day is more or less a commercialized day for the weak. Basically, marketing exploits those in relationships so pathetic and shallow that the opposite sex feels the need to give their "loved one" a gift; usually in a sad attempt to convince them they don't actually suck. Unfortunately, if you fell victim to buying that special someone a gift, you probably do suck. Thank god February is the shortest month of the year. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about adult relationships that are more or less built on convenience, are nonfunctional, and end up lasting a short while due to inadequacy and the need for attachment. With only the intentions of getting in each other's pants, the simple minds of these relationships are the same simple minds responsible for fueling the evil fires of Valentine's Day.

The proposal, which is sched­ ASI President Dustin Naylor uled for a vote on February 18, said the committee voting on the will, if approved, increase the Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) shifted powers again on Friday, Feb. 1 when Dean Man­ ship resigned from his position as student president and Execu­ tive Vice President Dustin Naylor took over duties as President of ASI. “It was hard cleaning out my office ... I was fighting with it. I really wanted to stay but I need to work and pay bills,” said Manship. This is not the first major change in the ASI staff this year. First, Darlene Willis, Execu­ tive Director, left before the Fall 2001 semester. Susana Gonzalez stepped in as interim director until Keith Speers took over three months ago. Then, Vice President Vinnie Williams resigned after his first few weeks in office due to per­ sonal reasons during the fall semester. The board replaced Wil­ liams with Undergraduate Repre­ sentative Dustin Naylor. Now the 24-year-old business Will issue has four spots for students to sit in. “I encourage students to use their voice, and join the com­ mittee if they wantjto have a say in how the proposal is handled,” said Naylor. The primary goal of the “Zoned Parking System” is to generate revenue for future park­ ing construction costs, including two more surface lots and a park­ ing structure, needed to match population growth and physical development. “We’ve got to go up - we’re running out of surface space,” said Williams. One of the chal­ lenges Parking Service faces is graduate, Manship, has resigned after serving three semesters. “Although I am sad to move on, I do so in confidence that Associated Students will continue to grow and remain the official voice of the students of Cal State San Marcos. I do believe that this organization is better now than when I arrived, and on its way to being even greater with your guidance and support,” said Man­ ship in his letter of resignation. The two resigned heads of ASI, Dean Manship and Vinnie Williams, were elected by approx­ imately 245 students, or 3% of the campus population. However, more changes are anticipated for ASI as a new semester unfolds and a vice presi­ dent has yet to be elected in place of Naylor. “The system can work with­ out a vice president. The duties are delegated to other officers,” said Dr. Francine Martinez, vice president for Student Affairs, and President’s Designee on the ASI board of directors. Martinez said she is excited about » >Article cont. on pg 2 Increase creating another lot specifically for residents when the dorms open, scheduled for 2004, as well as funding the cost of the two new surface lots and a structure. Current calculations, accord­ ing to the minutes, indicate that without increasing revenue, the university parking operation vfill be “in the red” in two years. According to Williams, the uni­ versity must have, due to bond measures, two-thirds of the con­ struction costs in a reserve bank account two years before con­ struction begins. Williams called the proposal a “hot topic” and said that Parking Fee Services is approaching groups on campus “for feedback and suggestions for improvement.” Because faculty and staff have their parking fees protected by contract, which can only be negotiated through the California Faculty Association (CFA), Park­ ing Services cantiot raise faculty and staff parking fees Williams said, “We have to have a $ 14 a month area /or park­ ing, because that’s what faculty/ staff pay to park. If we can’t raise their fees, due to bargaining unit issues, we have to provide an area for them to park.” » >Article cont. on pg 3 President Gonzajez Appointed by President Bush to the Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans By MARTHA SARABIA News Editor President Bush appointed Cal State San Marcos President Alex­ ander Gonzalez on Jan. 28 to serve oij Bush’s Commission on Educational Excellence for His­ panic Americans. Gonzalez is one of only two Californians that have been appointed to this com­ mission of 17 members, and the only president of a institution of higher learning. According to Gonzalez, the purpose of the commission is to prepare Hispanic Americans to go on to higher education or at least to graduate from high school and gain the ability to get a good job. “I would hope that one of the purposes would be that we get more Hispanic or Latinos into the university level or beyond in professional schools,” said Gonzalez. “The most obvious benefit for CSUSM is that I am going to be rep­ resenting the university and people will know that San Marcos exists. This is one of the barri­ ers that we have today. Raise the awareness level of the campus, and the more indirect benefit is that some of the advisory will be enacted and local President Gonzalez. Pride Photo/James Newell students can benefit from that,” said Gon­ zalez. “What I learn from the commission hopefully I can share with the campus com­ munity.” Gonzalez said his role as a professional educator will be to look at the high drop­ out rate of Hispanic students; and he will bring his experiences and findings to the commission. “We can close the achievement gap but one of the major issue for higher education is student preparedness.. .You can get in college but if you are not prepared it is not going to last. Therefore, retention becomes a very important issue,” said Gon­ zalez. “If students are not pre­ pared well, that is going to be a barrier for or to their success.” Furthermore, Gonzalez said that the high drop-out rate of Hispanics is a nation-wide prob­ lem. “Just about every state of the Union has a Hispanic speak­ ing population of some size .. It is a big issue.” Gonzalez, who was born and raised in East L.A. and attended Garfield High School, will now have the opportunity to be in » >Article cont. on pg 3 �Women’s Leadership Conference By CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Editor “Decisions Count!” is the theme for this year’s Women’s Leadership Conference. After a three-year lapse, on Friday, March 8, 2002, Cal State San Marcos will once again host the women’s leadership confer­ ence. This year the committee is targeting North County women from local high schools, CSUSM and the community. The two high-school partici- pants are Valley Center High School and El Camino High School. “Mentoring is our primary concern, and by creating small groups in those divisions the conference will be more struc­ tured,” said Director of Student and Residential Life, Bridget K. Blanshan. The event includes workshops for each and all of the groups and a keynote speaker. In addition, the topics will include networking, bal­ ancing work and personal lives, effective communication, and staying healthy. The confer­ ence is a one-day event. The committee is taking applications from which a total of 90 women will be selected to participate in the conference. The selection will be made based on career inter­ est and other areas. There is an application fee of $ 10. “Our goal is to maximize women’s understanding of their advan­ tages and options,” said Blan­ shan.

Martinez said that at the first board meeting since Man­ ship’s resignation there is “an enhanced purpose within the organization.” She said this enhanced purpose comes partially from Manship’s continuity in leader^ ship from last year and par­ tially from Keith Speers, new Executive Director. “Dean built a foundation. He created a board that could step in within a moment’s notice. [When he began], Keith Speers breathed some new air and excited ASI,” said Martinez. Manship ran for re-elec­ tion last May after serving two semesters as ASI presi- dent. “I knew I was graduating in December, but I didn’t think of it that way,” said Manship, when asked if he planned on leaving office while campaign­ ing for re-election. Manship said that his per­ sonal goal “that students never knew or saw” and one he accomplished was the restruc­ turing of the ASI organization. Business practices of the orga­ nization were cleaned up and “we had to get everything in line for the chancellor’s audit this year,” said Manship. The audit is still in process. However, Manship said that, while in office, he would have liked to put together more programs. When prompted for ideas, he explained that former student Rita Reynolds brought the idea of a laptop-leasing pro­ gram to ASI, but the idea was never developed by the board. Manship said he also had ideas about an electronic board that posts the day’s events, sim­ ilar to the one,at SDSU. “Post­ ing at the university is rough and not very student centered. It’s like they don’t want it to seem like a university campus sometimes,” he said. But, at the end of his term, Manship said he feels confi­ dent leaving the board in the hands of Executive Director Keith Speers and new presi­ dent Dustin Naylor. For now, the Executive Vice President position and College of Education represen­ tative positions remain unfilled. However, campaigns for next year’s positions begin March 1 and voting will happen in May. Whether the two positions will be filled by the end of the term or by the time other candidates begin vying for positions has yet to-be determined. Q&A with New Student President: Dustin Naylor By MELANIE ADDINGTON For The Pride Dustin Naylor began the 2001-02 school year as undergrad­ uate representative for the student government, Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) and a writer for The Pride. However, Naylor quickly had to adjust to his new role as Exec­ utive Vice President when, after a few weeks, Executive Vice PresidentVinnie Williams resigned. Although the bylaws for ASI state that the student president can name his new VP, Manship asked the board to decide on the replace­ ment for Williams. The board chose Naylor. After one semester as VP, he had to again adjust to a new role as student president when Dean Man­ ship resigned at the beginning of the spring semester. Due to Naylor’s new and busy schedule, The Pride chose to con­ duct an e-mail interview with him. It proceeded as follows: (The Pride) Q: When did you first find out you were becoming president?

Q: How do you feel about being promoted in such a short amount of time (four months) to VP and then to President? A; It’s a very exciting and unique experience to sit on the Board of Directors. I strive to con­ tribute to the students of Cal State San Marcos the same compassion and integrity, whether my position is Undergraduate Rep., Executive V.P., or President. Q: What strengths do you bring to the job? A: As a transfer student, I quickly became involved in student organizations here at Cal State San Marcos. I served as recruitment chair and corporate secretary for Sigma Alpha Epsilon, one of the largest student organizations here on campus. I sat on the Board of Directors as Undergraduate repre­ sentative and Executive Vice Presi­ dent for ASI before accepting the President’s position. Being con­ stantly exposed to a diverse and dynamic group of students enables me to clarify and express student voice and opinion. Q: What is the big difference between the two positions? A: As President, I am the offi­ cial representative for the corpora­ tion on campus, in the community, and with schools and organiza­ tions thereof. I serve as sole medi­ ator to the Board of Directors and generally supervise and direct the business of the officers of the corpo­ ration. Both positions deal mainly with meeting on university and ASI committees. Whereas the Exec. VP handles issues regarding students, the president focuses more on deal­ ings with faculty and adminis­ tration. [Now] I sit on a variety of committees, including Budget Review, Student Fees, arid Instructionally Related Activities. Q: What are you going to do to handle such a change? A: Prior experience with the Board and working .closely with Dean in the last couple years makes the transition to President very comfortable. Time manage­ ment and good xommunication is key. Q: Does it say anything about the ASI administration how some­ one can easily jump around to dif­ ferent positions in such a short amount of time? A: The face of the Board of Directors changes with every year. Our bylaws are structured to handle such a change in a professional business manner. Q: Is this new position going to affect your classes this semester? A: It definitely affected my class status within the Pride. But for the most part: No. Q: What else is going on at ASI right now? ASI is currently in the middle of Black History Month, spon­ soring a scheduled calendar of events, including a Black History Month Breakfast featuring key­ note speaker Dr. Karen Whitehearst-Payne on Friday, Feb. 15. We have included men’s and wom­ en’s lacrosse and soccer in our list of recreational activities, and are excited about the formation of a coed surf team, which is expected to be highly competitive at a national level. Come spring, we expect a huge turnout for intra­ mural basketball, flag football, and drop-in volleyball. Q: Do you think you will run for re-election in May? If not, why? If so, why? A: I graduate in May; I will not be running for re-election Q: What advice dp you have to new students (as far as getting involved)? A: I would advise that students try to meet new people. College is a networking strategy designed to bring individuals together to create successful partnerships and lasting friendships. I encourage students to get involved with clubs, recreation sports, Greek life, honor societies, and on-campus programming. ASI provides room for involve­ ment in student and universitybased committees, giving students voice in decisions that affect them. I would also like to see inter­ action within the transfer and grad­ uate community here at Cal State San Marcos. Gaining insight from upper-classmen helps our univer­ sity in that the opinion voiced now will contribute to educational standards, policies, student fees and programming to .come in later years. As our university grows, our students need to realize that their contributions to the university will ultimately determine how our how our graduates and our degrees are weighted in San Diego and sur­ rounding communities. �Parking Fee Increase Promises a Better Structure CSUSM Parking Lots Courtesy photo/www. csusm.edu »A rticle cont. from pg 1 That area would, according to the proposal, be in Zone 3, which will include lots B, N and O. Although faculty and staff currently park in the lot closest to campus (E), if the proposal goes through, that lot would fall into the newly instated Zone i, which students would then have access to for $50 per month. Faculty and staff would be required to park in Zone 3, the $14 per month zone in which students may also purchase parking. Williams said that Parking Services has “run into resistance from union representatives on*^ campus” regarding zoning the lots. According to the pro­ posal, this new threezone system is designed to allow flexibility for all users by segregating zones based on proximity to campus. In addition to the $14 per month Zone 3, two more zones will be desig­ nated. Zone 1, which would consist of lots C, E, and N, would run students $50 per month, per space. Zone 2, or lots B, C, J, N, and O, would comprise the $30 per month spaces. A consultant was brought in last semester to assess the parking situation on campus, arid recom­ mended the zonal parking system, suggesting that both the shuttle and stack park­ ing was not cost effective for Parking Services, according to the minutes from the Jan­ uary 23 meeting. Parking Services has asked ASI to assist in bring­ ing students accurate infor­ mation about the proposal and its effects.

First, they will advise U.S. secretary of Education Rod Paige on the progress of Hispanic Americans in closing the academic achievement gap and meeting the promise of the new No Child Left Behind Act of2001. Second, they will monitor and measure the per­ formance of federal agencies in creating federal initiatives within the Hispanic community and hold them responsible for improving the participation of His­ panic Americans in federal education programs.

And as an educator, I found that education always took me to photog­ raphy, and pho­ tography always took me back to education,” said Morris. The uniqueness of his presen­ tation lies within the arrangement of the photographs displayed. According to Morris, there was no specific way of organizing the pictures. However, structure By MARLINO BITANGA Pride Staff Writer The theme “seeing comes before words” describes the meaning of celebrating Black History Month through the per­ spective of artist Major Morris, who has amplified the life and times of inner-city youngsters by presenting diverse black and white images in his photography exhibition: “Sands of My Time: An Eclectic View.” “The children in these photographs are reminiscent of how I grew up and the gles I encountered groping way through an underprivi leged youthful existence, images show that kids hopes and dreams that need be nurtured,” said Morris. Currently a North local, Morris’ passion for tography was uplifted and moti vated by the birth of his and complemented by his of working in a dark room, His#personal discovery ena. him to build a bridge between passion and profit. “I shot or not, the effect of the exhi­ bition highlights Morris’ artistic character. “Everything here is candid. It is not staged. There is no statement being made here. Photog­ raphy, to me, is the essence of sensing, and being there at that feeling, particular moment. My reward is the interpretation,” said Morris. Morris’ versatile approach, utilizing photographic landscapes, still-life imagery, and abstract concepts has not only given him a voice of expression, but a m edium to share his love and passion for life and photogra­ phy with his audience. “My hope is that photographs will continue to offer honest and significant observations on life as I haVe and continue to experience it, and that I will leave ... footprints on the sands of time [and] that others, seeing, may take heart again, and perhaps, affect mean­ ingful change,” said Morris. Major Morris’ “Sands of My Time: An Eclectic View,” will be on display in the library through­ out the month of February.

The night was par­ tially clear, and when the fog and haze gave way to a patch of clear sky, we noticed the rays of the full moon reflecting off the snow that collects in the mountaintop valleys. As the moon and the haze battled throughout the last hours of early morning, we passed through moments of eerie half-darkness, any and all light obscured by low-lying clouds. Then, just as we were forced to slow our speed to a crawl along the winding mountain road, the fog broke and the moon’s rays combined with the snow’s white glow shining almost as bright as day.

After a morning of slowly waking up and shaking off the long, rainy drive from Tahoe, we took off to find the waves of Santa Cruz, which all surfers have heard about. When most people think of the beach and surfing, they think more intense. The water was cold and uninviting; I could actually feel the difference in density. When I fell it was much more difficult to penetrate through the surface of the water. And when I was beneath the water, the cold penetrated deep into my bones, at times, to the point of pain.

Ruby’s menu includes classic diner favorites: burgers (any style, including turkey, veggie or chicken), tacos, and salads. They also offer firings (a basket mixed with French by Norman Rockwell.

Circle yes or no.” In spite of this memory from our adolescent past, we can look at this situation as our prema­ ture, ceremonial way of obtain­ ing the title boyfriend/girlfriend to justify a committed relation­ ship with someone. However, I feel this condition has created a fixation or a demand for the individual to have such a “title.” So my question is, if you are dating someone exclusively, and you both know where you stand with each other, does putting a “label” on your relationship matter? According to Elaine Lee, a senior at Cal State San Marcos, it does matter. “Not having the title suggests that the relation­ ship is an open one and that each individual in the relationship is free to date other people. If there were a title, dating other people would be considered cheating.” Likewise, John Burke, a sophomore at CSUSM stated, “the title is the security blanket of the relationship. It’s what makes it official.” Not everyone may agree with these viewpoints. Tisha Flores, a communication major at CSUSM, said a label does not matter. “As long as both individuals know how they feel for each other, that’s all that matters. If the relationship is denied, then that’s bad.” Nina Robinson, a sophomore at CSUSM, agreed that if you establish an understanding with each other, then the title becomes little more than a social state­ ment. Jen Jarrell, a CSUSM communication major, added, “A label is not important because the relationship you build together creates an unspoken connection between each other. There is no need to proclaim a title.” I feel that “titles” and “labels” can be misused and appear coun­ The Pride CORRECTIONS, Co-Editor Co-Editor News Editor Feature Editor Opinion Editor Graduate Intern Business Manager Advisor Claudia Ignacio James Newell Martha Sarabia Lisa Lipsey Alyssa Finkelstein Amy Bolaski Victor Padilla Madeleine Marshall terfeit. For example, a man could acknowledge a female as his girl­ friend, but yet turn around and kiss someone else. What did the title “girlfriend” mean in this episode? It falls along the same lines as saying “I Love You” or saying you want a “wedding” vs. a “marriage.” Whatever the case may be, I believe that what you have accomplished within a relation­ ship with someone has more meaning and sincerity than any “title” or “label” will ever have. number, e-mail and identification.

LETTERS To the editors: A week ago I wrote about my frustration in dealing with the Cal State San Marcos system and the inflated bureaucracy. However, I want to acknowledge that right after my complaint, several campus staff took time to work with me to get my situ­ ation resolved. My problem ended up being much more than having my classes dropped (as I originally thought). Instead, my graduation was delayed due to annoying paperwork problems. An inde­ pendent study I took in place of another class needed to have paperwork signed by the teacher to prove the independent study could be used for the class. I was not informed of that when I orig­ inally took the class; because of this I did not know I had to go searching to fix the paper prob­ lem while I was still a student. I know now. For the two weeks before the semester, I ran around the campus from office to office trying to solve my dilemma. Along the way, the staff at the enrollment desk helped me every time I ran into the office asking yet another ques­ tion. Other times when I have gone in there, staff members were polite, but hardly friendly. But this time they were wonder­ ful. Also, I was very grateful when Janice Meliska, of Records and Registration, healed my graduation woes immediately. Well ... once the proper paper­ work was in place. I am also very grateful for the time spent e-mailing back and forth with Gerrie Hatten in the financial aid office. She helped me tremendously with trying to deal with my financial aid struggles. Just when I least expected it, this campus, and the people that work for it, came through for me. Thanks. Melanie Addington Graduate Student To the editors: On Feb, 4,2002,1 had an appointment to be seen by a physician at the campus clinic. This appointment was scheduled for 1:00 p.m. Strangely, I wasn’t seen until at least 2:00. Appar­ ently, this is supposed to be acceptable to me? No one made any attempt to explain why I was seen so late. I had scheduled this appointment so that it wouldn’t conflict with another appointment I had in San Diego. The delay I was forced to undergo at the campus clinic put me behind. I don’t think my delay was anything new to them. If I was to be seen at 2:00 it sure would have been nice for them to at least notify me so that I could have done something more worthwhile than sit in their office for an extra hour. Is this sort of operation the sign of professionalism or just plain incompetence? Interestingly, at least one nurse was proactive enough to take my vital signs ahead of time, so that when ! was finally seen by the M.D., I wouldn’t be killing more time. I suspect the debacle that I was forced to endure was not only the result of a laissez-faire attitude at the clinic but the result of being understaffed. Consid­ ering the fact that Califor­ nia had a huge state budget surplus a little more than a year ago, and now it doesn’t, it is my judgment that it will be a long time coming before our “clinic” will see any sort of staffing addi­ tions. Where are our state government’s priorities? I hope that its name is on the list of those who are suing Enron for compensation. Wasn’t it Enron who high jacked us for our state sur­ plus that could have helped pay for a better qualitycontrol system on who is hired to work in the Univer­ sity medical clinics?

School officials have defined the league as a way to keep players in shape for tiext season’s league. According to Khalid Alshafie, the men’s soccer coach, the league will work as a fitness program and as a way for the players to work on their condi­ tioning during off season and to get ready for next season. Brad Schmidt, Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) Club Ser­ vice Technician, agrees with Alshafie by defining the program as an off-season extension of last semester’s soccer participa­ tion and is intended to keep the player’s skills sharp and main­ tain their level of fitness. According to Schmidt, the 15 soccer players from the fall league will be participating in the indoor league that is coordinated by the City of Escondido Parks and Recreation Department, not by CSUSM. Schmidt also said that the students on the men’s soccer team are covering the expenses associ­ ated with this off-season league. Preschool Substitutes, aides, & teach­ ers.

The ceremony was concluded with the raising of the Olympic flag and the lighting of the Olym­ pic flame. The Olympic flag was carried by world athletes and lead­ ers. There are traditionally eight flag bearers, each representing one of the five continents and one of the three pillars of Olympic competi­ tion —sport, culture, and environ­ ment. Representing the Americas was former astronaut and United Sates Senator John Glen, now 80 years old. Representing Europe was Poland’s former president Lech Walesa, who helped to bring down the Iron Curtain from the inside. Nobel Peace Prize winner Arch­ bishop Desmond Tutu represented the continent of Africa, and 1998 Japanese gold medalist Kazuyoshi Funaki represented Asia. Austra­ lian gold medalist Cathy Freeman carried the flag for Oceania, and representing Sport was a three­ time French Olympic gold medalist named Jean Claude Killy. Rep­ resenting the pillar of Culture was America’s own Steven Spiel­ berg, and representing Environment was Jean Michele Cousteau, son of famous environmentalist Jaques Cousteau. The person honored with the lighting of the Olympic flame is traditionally kept a secret until the very last moment. As famous * winter Olympians from as far back as 1948 escorted the flame through the stadium, no one knew who would be the last bearer of the flame to actually light the torch. Finally, it was handed off to the dream team of Olympic ice hockey from the 1980 Olympic Games. This year’s Olympics will offer seven new areas of competition — the most unusual of which is a new Olympic sport called skele­ ton. Skeleton is similar to luge, but instead of traveling feet-first on their backs, the athletes travel headfirst on their stomachs. The sport was invented in St. Moritz, Switzer­ land, and was previously included in the Games both times they were staged ih St Moritz - 1928 and 1948. This year, a women’s bob­ sleigh team will be added as an official event, as well as five new disciplines in Nordic skiing and two new races in speed skating. The format of the snowboarding giant slalom event has also changed.

Because its in its first year, many people responsible for arranging the event were uncertain as to whether or not it would be successful. The event proved to be a memorable one for all students in attendance. "Greek Fair is a time for everyone to come together and have fun while learning about all of the different fraternities, sororities, and Greek organizations that we have to offer on our campus," stated Alex Hand, a sophomore and member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Throughout the fair, students received free food, participated in games, and live entertainment. Food ranged from free popcorn, Pat and Oscars salads to Little Caesars pizza. The fair festivities began when people started playing the games, which included: football and soccer ball contests, and a strength pole to see who could Photo by Ben Roffee / The Pride With a variety of exciting activities, the Greek fair drew the attention of CSUSM students during U-hour hit it the hardest with a large hammer. Local radio station, 91X, was in attendance to play music for surrounding listeners. Besides all of the fun, the fair was a great time for interested students learn about Greek life at CSUSM. Each fraternity and sorority passed out fliers and other information in order to notify and recruit passing students about their organizations. "This isn't a time for each sorority or fraternity to be competing against one another to see who can recruit more students; it is a time for people on campus to learn more about the Greek life that we have at our school and see if they might be interested in joining it." Said Alpha Chi Omega member Lauren Cerruti. The Greek fair was also an appropriate lead into Rush Week (beginning Feb. 18). While each Greek organization puts on different events throughout the week, Rush Week is a time for students to choose which fraternity or sorority they would like to join. Due to the success of the Greek fair, the event will likely become a tradition on campus for years to come. Primaries bring political activity, discussion to CSUSM BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer It was an exciting week for politics at Cal State San Marcos as the biggest day in the presidential primary season, Super Tuesday, came and went, stimulating a flurry of activity on campus. As polling places like the one on campus were shutting down across the state, CSUSM students flocked the Grand Salon at the Clarke Field House Tuesday, Feb. 5, for a Super Tuesday viewing party from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Hosted by the American Democracy Project and the University Student Union Advisory Board (USUAB), the event featured live CNN coverage of Super Tuesday results and free food for those in attendance. An open-microphone made its way around the room giving students the opportunity to share their opinions about the candidates, important political issues, as well as any other opinions about the overall state of the nation. "I want to be proud of my country again," said a student in the audience. Commentary was not limited to those who dared to offer their opinions on the microphone. Large pieces of paper representing a variety of political issues adorned the walls of the Grand Salon and bore the written opinions of those in attendance. Brief dialogues would emerge on these message boards as people responded to comments made by others. On the topic of immigration, one student anonymously wrote, "America was founded on immigration. While it is a problem that people are coming over illegally, should it really be our main focus?" An arrow pointed to a comment from another individual Photo by Ben Roffee / The Pride Students express political views and opinions at Super Tuesday viewing party ___ read, "Yes. These immigrants come to our country and (often times) are only here to better their lives. What good is it letting our population grow if it isn't going to benefit everyone. We must slow this expansion down before it's too late." Even after Super Tuesday passed, the activities at CSUSM continued throughout the week. On Feb. 7, during University Hour, The Political Science Club hosted Dr. Shana Bass in part of its "Pizza and Politics" series. Dr. Bass, a professor from the Dept. of Political Science, offered in-depth analysis of the Super Tuesday results for both sides of the aisle.

Tickets for the Mar. 15 cocktail party became available for free to students beginning 8 a.m. on Tuesday and were sold out by 10 a.m. the following day. The kick off event provided students with free food and drinks to commemorate the beginning of ticket distributions. Spring Fling will take place on the San Diego Harbor Excursion yacht off San Diego harbor from 8:30 p.m. to 11:55 p.m. The three-storied boat features a live DJ, bars serving refreshments and appetizers; and a casino with blackjack, roulette and Texas Hold'em. Guests can use fake money while gambling with a chance to win a trip for two to Laughlin or a gift card to Chili's restaurant. Although tickets to the event have sold out, tickets for the party bus are still available. Party bus tickets are $20 a person and are available to both students and guests. The bus will go roundtrip from CSUSM to the San Diego harbor and will return following the event. Party Bus tickets are available in the ASI Business Office, FCB 103. "The boat has a capacity of 500 so there is absolutely no way to release more. The question that I keep getting is how do I get a ticket? I know a lot of people bought extra tickets, you were allowed to buy up to three, so my advice is ask around. There is also a Facebook event people can join to ask others for tickets," said ASI Programming Board Social Events Specialist, Molly Durham. �Tuesday; February 12, 2008 From BUDGET, page 1 T HE^PRIDE byRthe legislature." vitality of CSU eed stressed the i lillil system and its direct impact on the economy.

With Mitt Romney's suspension of his campaign, the Republican race narrowed, leaving John McCain as the clear front-runner. As Dr. Bass noted, come-from-behind victories by Mike Huckabee or Ron Paul are highly unlikely. While the Republican primaries yielded a clear victor in McCain, the results on the Democratic side were much different. "What happened to the Democrats in California is really interesting and what happened to Democrats across the country is also really interesting," said Dr. Bass. After the dust had settled, Super Tuesday gave no strong advantage to either Barack Obama -or Hillary Clinton. Making sure to include the audience in the discussion, Dr. Bass asked for opinions on how the candidates reacted to the outcome of Super Tuesday. "They both postured," said student Tawn Kent. "One said they clearly had the largest number of votes and the other said they had greater support in a larger number of states." While Clinton seized the most delegates, winning the biggest prize of the night in California, she won in fewer states than Obama, a clear indication that the primary nomination would most likely be fought for all the way to the national convention. Delegate counts differed among publications, mainly due to differences in regards to socalled "super delegates." Obama narrowed Clinton's lead over the weekend with convincing wins in the Lousiana primaries and the caucuses in Washington, Nebraska, and Maine. The Clinton campaign predicts victories in the late Ohio and Texas contests should negate Obama's February comeback. Dinner Etiquette for all Cougars 4 M ock Dinner promises "no risk" learning experience BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, Feb. 28, an etiquette dinner aimed to teach the formalisms of business dinners and proper restaurant etiquette will be held for students at the I WNSÎGMOÎ'EÁITÓALS XTPMMT Lake San Marcos Country Club. the The The event, sponsored by Associated Students Incorporated (ASI), _ ; J * * ' & e- ' e#térj ' welcomes all Cougars regardless H should incltide a ddress,!i of year or major. teJephoite namber, p riait "A communication major could «IÌ4 iAenááMWAi^ L etters benefit because they will have to n jayfeeeaitedfor g rammar a nd leögtb, ' Lettbt. should ¡ ï p ^ represent the opinions communicate with everybody and know how to act properly (at formal business dinners)," said Freshman, Brian Burrows. The dinner provided consists of a four-course meal equivalent to $35. "I think any major would benefit from the event. There are a million ways to drive a car but there is a right way. Proper etiquette shows that people of all backgrounds took the time to learn how to be formal. For example, if you go to another country with baggy pants and a t-shirt you might accidentally disrespect someone. The way you eat at home may not be the proper way to carry yourself at a formal dinner. You could make people feel uncomfortable in that setting. There are formalities that you need to know, regardless of your major," said Junior and Nursing Major, Angel Castañeda. Due to the popularity of the event, interested Cougars are encouraged to reserve their place immediately by visiting the Career Center in Craven Hall 1400. Res- ervations are $10. (Cancellations are non-refundable after Feb. 15.) "All majors, including Literature and Writing Studies majors, should know how to act in a formal setting. It is a really good deal and a great opportunity to only pay $10 while getting a country club four-course dinner," said Junior and Literature and Writing Studies Major, Brian Mann.

Here's a look at who should've been hired for the head coaching positions and the new coaches being hired as upcoming head coaches for the teams that continuity applied to in the Redskins, Colts, and Seahawks. Washington Redskins- Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams hired in 2004, who appeared to be the front runner to take over as head coach after Joe Gibbs retired in Dec. Williams was head coach of the Buffalo Bills from 2001-2003, and compiled a record of 17-30 before being fired. You would expect owner Daniel Snyder to try and make a splash and hire a big name coach like he recently did with Gibbs, but Gibbs told Snyder after he retired that continuity is extremely important and will not set back the organization in a major way. Clearly that's not what happened, when the Redskins unexpectedly fired Williams, who is now the defensive coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Indianapolis Colts- Tony Dungy is a spiritual and calm man that has been contemplating his retirement as head coach for the past three years after his team's season has completed. Dungy admitted that he did not want to coach past 50, he is now 51 and again decided that he will return to coaching, for at least one more year. When Dungy does retire, he will be praised for being a great coach and an even better man that deserves nothing but respect. The man that was recently tabbed to be the next head coach is current QB coach and assistant head coach, Jim Caldwell. Caldwell was one of the hottest names out there to be a head coach arid has interviewed for at plethora of head coaching vacancies, before being named future head coach of the Colts. Caldwell, hired in 2001, has head coaching experience as the Wake Forest head coach from 1993-2000, and has developed 6'5 230 lb. laser rocket arm QB Peyton Manning into the superstar that he is. Seattle Seahawks- Mike Holmgren has also been looking into his future the past couple years. The window is closing in on the aging Seahawks, who have won four straight NFC West championships. Watch out for those 49ers, HA! The Seahawks have absolutely no running game anymore, with Shaun Alexander aging in front of ours eyes, with two injury-plagued years since his phenomenal MVP year. The coach that will take over is defensive back coach Jim Mora, former head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, who wasfiredextremely too early. Smart move Atlanta that Petrino hire really worked out didn't it? * Mora was also the former defensive coordinator of the 49ers, should've hired him instead of that bum Dennis Erickson. Jim Mora Jr. also from the Washington area, and his alma mater is the University of Washington, he has head coaching experience, and has head coaching lineage in that his father, Jim Mora Sr. famous for the "PLAYOFFS? You're talking about PLAYOFFS?" line, was former head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. Cougar Baseball: Week in Review BY LANCE CARTELLI Pride Staff Writer The Cougars split their two games this week, beating Point Loma (5-2) and losing to UCSD (3-2). to make their record (3-5) in the young season. In the first game of the week, the Cougars handed Point Loma their second straight loss to the Cougars, 8-5. Point Loma struck first with a lead off double by RF Kaohi Downing, who scored on a double play by CF Kurt Steinhauer. The Cougars came back swinging in the top of the 2 , with three runs on two hits. Leading off the top of the 2 , CF Tristan Gale hit his third home run of the year to give the Cougars a 1-0 lead. DH Terry Moritz then hit a two-out two-run home run to right to extend the Cougars lead to 3-0. SP Eric Julienne had a strong start, winning his first game of the year, allowing just three runs on six innings pitched with three strike outs and two walks given up. The Cougars would tack on three more runs in the top of the 7 . RF Jared Suwyn continued his hot play going 3-4; with his biggest hit being a tworun single to LF scoring two runs in the three-run inning. P Grant Harrell and Jared Suwyn combined for 2 2/3 of one-hit baseball to nd nd th close out Point Loma 8-5 for the Cougars third win of the year. > In the second game of the week, the Cougars faced the #15 ranked team in the nation Div. II's UCSD. The Cougars and UCSD matched each other 3-3 by the end of the 3 inning. UCSD struck first with a two-run bottom 1 of the 1 inning. DH Franco hit a twoout two-run home run to right field. CF Tristan Gale hit his second home run of the week and fourth of the year to lead off the top of the 2 inning. LF Austin Way would constitute, as the last run the Cougars would score this game with a lead off home run in the top of the 3 . UCSD would break the game open with back-to-back two-run innings in the bottom of the 5 and 6 . RBI singles from CF/LF Domanic and 2B Imesori would lead to the two-runs scored in the bottom of the 5 for UCSD. In the bottom of the 6 , a lead-off double by 3 baseman Bono would start off another two-run inning ending with a RBI's from CF Burke and SS Albitz to make the game 7-3. The Cougars struggled to stop the offensive attack by UCSD using seven pitchers with the longest outing of the seven to be 2 2/3 innings by P Johnny Holtman. The seven pitchers combined to give up 10 runs and 15 hits. The Cougars fall to (3-5) on the season while UCSD is now (3-2). rd st nd rd th th th Point Loma 5 rd Plestse recycle this OA I j $NMT I S «M» mm Baseball th S irPRDAYI �Surf team has best season yet Solid performances help surf team capture second place in conference rankings BY AMBER PUHA Pride Contributor This weekend, the regular season for the National Scholastic Surfing Association College Team Season, concluded at Huntington Beach's 9th Street beach. CSUSM posted a 3rd place finish wrapping up a record best season. With a 2nd place overall finish in the conference ratings, participants from CSUSM posted two 2 place finishes, one 1 , and one third. Prior to this season, CSUSM's best ever single event finish was a 4th. This marks a major break through in the team's 8 year history, and marks its arrival as a serious competitive threat to the larger, beach located schools such as UCSB and UCSD. Thanks to the financial support of Hansen's Boardroom, CSUSM will enter the state championships as the number two seed. UCSB was dominant all nd st season, only faltering with a 3rd place at home, at C Street in Ventura. Otherwise, UCSB posted 1st places. (Two of their three wins came with comfortable margins,) But, CSUSM was nipping at UCSB's heals at the first event of season at La Jolla Blacks Beach, taking second by only a 1/2 of a point. Beside UCSB, the only other team to beat CSUSM this season was Mira Costa College. Mira Costa came on strong down the stretch when the twins, Julian and Alex Ganguli, returned to school and collegiate competition in the spring semester. In the final event of the season, Alex led Mira Costa Red to a second place. « The final weekend of competition was both interesting and exciting for CSUSM. Team anchor Scott McBride exited early, as did Ventura event winner Garrett James. Season standout Chris Smith also didn't have his best event, and Aaron Coyle was unable to compete. This put the final outcome in the hands of Timmy Long and Paul Brandlin (freshman), Sean Hastings (senior), and the ladies Erin Lewis and Lauren Nutter. Pressure seemed no problem for these five as they maintained the determination to keep CSUSM on the podium for the 4th consecutive event. Long looked snappy and vertical in the beach break conditions. Long had a best ever performance in the shortboard men's division, advancing through four rounds of competition to earn 9th place. Brandlin hada sluggish start in round one, but stepped it up after that. He won all his remaining heats until just missing advancement into the shortboard men's final earning 7th place. Brandlin and Long were the top point getters earning 23 points each. Hastings, who also looked quick and snappy in the beach break conditions, showed his determination to make the most of his senior year. He has now seen back to back quarterfinal appearances. The ladies made a point of redeeming themselves after early exits at Ventura. Freshman, Lauren Nutter, charged through two rounds of competition earning 9th. Erin Lewis charged through 3 rounds of competition and qualified for the women's final. CSUSM entered thefinalswith 113 points tied for 2nd place with Mira Costa College. The only problem was that Mira Costa managed to qualify three people for the finals, while CSUSM only had Lewis remaining. At this point, Mira Costa's second placefinishwas foregone conclusion. Lewis however staved off the attack from Point Loma and UCSD to move into 3rd with her 5th place finish in the women's final. UCSB finished first in the event, Mira Costa took second, and CSUSM placed third. Another highlight ofthe season was longboarder Christian Clark, who surfs for CSUSM B team. He made every final event this season, earning 4th, 1st, 3rd and 2nd respectively. He has been the anchor for the CSUSM B team and a serious threat to upset in the longboard division all season long. CSUSM B team surfer Derek Vaickus also had a breakout event with his round three appearance. These two buoyed the B team and kept them on track to qualify for the state championships. CSUSM B earned 12th place in the last event of the season out of 25 teams. State Championships will be on Friday, March 7th at Churches Beach in San Onofre.

In game one, freshman pitcher, Breanna Sandberg allowed only four hits in a fiveinning complete game shutout, allowing for the Cougar offense to go to work at the plate. The Cougars set a school record for runs scored in an inning, with a 10-run bottom of the second, highlighted by freshman, Mimi Krutein's base-clearing triple with one out. Sandberg held Bethany scoreless, striking out six en route to the Cougars 10-0 win. The Cougars followed suit in game two, utilizing solid pitching to capture another huge victory.

With a nickname like CSU Stair Master, most students are able tofightoff the "freshman 15" by simply going to class. However, besides the wide variety of stairs it has to offer, CSUSM also has a wide variety of resources and services dedicated to keeping its students healthy. Student Health and Counseling Services (SHCS) for instance is dedicated to keeping you at the top of your game. As stated in their mission, the goal of the SHCS team is "to provide quality medical care that allows students to perform optimally, physically, and mentally; and to enhance their academic and intellectual potential." The staff includes medical and administrative professionals and the facility even includes a low-cost pharmacy. A student is able to schedule an appointment with a Doctor, Nurse, Counselor or Health Educator, Monday through Friday from 8am-4:45pm. SHCS is located just across the street from campus on the corner of Craven and Twin Oaks. For more information regarding SHCS visit the website at http://www.csusm.edu/shcs/. fight Another resource dedicated to a healthier you are the athletic facilities available at the Clarke Field House. The right to use this facility is paid for in part with your tuition every semester, so why not take advantage of it? The Clarke offers a full gym with everything from stationary bikes, to treadmills and free weights to weight machines, Also available to use is both outdoor and indoor volleyball courts. When asked how he liked working out at the Clarke, CSUSM student Travis Wilson said, "[it's a] great place to go work out and socialize with people you might not normally see other places." Wilson also referred to The Clarke as "its own little work out community". The healthy student isn't complete without something healthy to eat on campus. Believe it or not, there are a few places to eat these things. The Dome for instance offers a full salad and soup bar and even has fresh fruit in the University Store, At the University Village Apts. Brian Dawson and family make sure that their students are fed at least one night a week. On Mondays, Dawson usually prepares a meal for 200+ starving college students, ensuring that they are eating healthy and socializing with fellow students. There are also plans in the work for a Student Union which would offer a much wider variety of food to students on campus sometime in the near future, So yes, you should continue to book it up those stairs on the way to class to off the beer belly. But you should also be sure to take advantage of the other resources dedicated to your health along the way. After all, you're only in college once; you should make sure your body makes it out alive.

He definitely did have tech-experts resolved as he waved around a manila envelope leaving us to wonder with anticipation whatever was inside. What he revealed was nothing short of Apple's trademark hype-machine as he pulled out the all-new MacBook Air, the world's thinnest laptop computer and the crown jewel of this year's conference. Granted this new rig is a slick piece of hardware, the question is does it warrant its $1800 price tag? In case anyone is wondering, the MacBook Air is slim, and when I say it's slim, I mean ridiculously slim. Some of the exterior features are a 13.3-inch LED-backlit screen with built-in iSight and mic, 0.76 inches at its thickest and it weighs about three pounds. The weight is somewhat unexpected upon first glance, but that just enhances the sturdiness and mobility of the design. The aluminum chassis is solid with aerodynamic curves and no protrusions, but also it's functional to keep to laptop cool. Its trackpad is a lengthy five inches but there is a reason why. Inside, it sports an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.6 GHz processor with 2GB of RAM, and an 80GB hard drive that clocks in at 4200 rpm. This may seem a little underwhelming considering the older Macbook Pro has a base 120GB 5400 rpm hard drive. However, a 64GB solid state drive (SSD) is an option which conserves power, doesn't spin or heat up and costs an additional $1000. That's right; a $1000 upgrade. I assumed a compact design meant a more compressed keyboard, but lo and behold, opening the laptop reveals a fullsize functional, backlit keyboard. Getting back to that trackpad, aside from normal rotating and pinching, it incorporates new fingering such as a threefinger gesture that enables people to move back and forth on a web browser, which is handy. What makes the MacBook Air such a difficult sell right now is the exclusion of an optical drive. For those who need it, Apple suggests the USB 2.0 SuperDrive available for $99 (yes, another upgrade). It is nice that the laptop has a remote disc function, which detects and runs optical drives from otherMacs or PCs via Bluetooth just as long as it's within the its network, so ^ stalling apps and file-sharing is fine/Still, not having t hatdrivethere is awkward, especially for those who use it for streaming DVDs and music. The ports are nice, but unfortunately the number is inadequate, especially for those that dig that multiple connectivity. The drop-out port has the USB 2.0, a microDVI and headphone jack to go along with the MagSafe power port. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity is absolutely reliant since there is no Ethernet port built in. Having said all of that, it is slim. And it is a Mac. Yes, it is portable and stylish because Apple wouldn't want people to have it any other way. Still, for the $1800 price tag plus additions, I'd say either wait for it to go down or go out and get a MacBook Pro instead.

By slight, I only mean over ten feet of new snow that has buried most ofCalifornia's resorts beginning in early January. It all started over the holiday season, when ski resorts were struggling to cover their trails with the small amount of manmade snow they had to work with, in order to accommodate the holiday crowds. Now it has turned into something entirely different. "We went from scavenging snow all over the mountain to get the coverage we needed—to having to push the snow off the trails and chairlifts so that the mountain could operate," said Jim Larmore, Snow Surfaces Director at Heavenly Ski Resort in Lake Tahoe, CA. The inconceivable part is that a great majority of this snow fell over the month of Jan. In fact, meteorologists are reporting a 2008 record snowfall for the month of January. According to "onthesnow. com," the biggest current base depth is reported at 165" at Squaw Valley, USA. No, that was not a typo—165 inches of snow— which is close to 14 ft. That much snow gives the term "freshies" a whole new meaning. Other mountains in the area report similar data, ranging anywhere from 78" on Sierra at Tahoe to 140" at Mammoth Mountain. Then there is the local favorite, Bear Mountain, which currently reports a base depth of 36-48". Still not bad considering that you could hit up Bear in the morning and go surfing in the afternoon. So what should all this mean to you? It means grab a few friends, pick up a pair of snow chains and take a road trip of a lifetime. If you are just planning a day trip, Bear Mountain might be the way to go. But you should know that taking a weekend to head up to Mammoth or Tahoe is well worth it. When asked to describe the current conditions in Lake Tahoe, Larmore said, "this is the best skiing we've had in a number of years." Just how many years that was, well, Larmore said it was reminiscent to "back in the 80s." To put it more simply, this might be one of the biggest ski seasons any of us have experienced in a lifetime. But wait a second, you're still a poor college student right? There is still a way to get yourself up the mountain without having to sell all your books back midway through the semester. First of all, borrow equipment (boots, board, jacket, as much as you can). If not, rental equipment and or clothing should cost no more than $40 a day. The cost that is going to hit the hardest is lift ticket prices. It'll be hard to find a full day price under $60. Luckily there are places like Mt. Rose that know the extent of what's in your pocket. Rose hooks it up with student days ($29/day) and "ladies days" where all ladies ski for $19. A lot of other places offer group rates and weekend package deals. This is the time to "shred." With much of the season left and at the rate that snow is accumulating, the next 4 months could be the time as well. Ski bums would agree with Larmore, that "this should be one of the better endings we've had in many years." "We are planning on extending our season two-three weeks, The backside of Mammoth Mountain on a bluebird day. At top, a skier at Mammoth Mountain geting the infamous powdershot, possibly to the end of May," said Larmore. But, if you don't get a chance to strap-up by then, Mammoth should be lasting until its infamous Fourth of July closure date.

Best Sports Movies BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer What a crazy week it has been for me. Tuesday night I was at the Gaslamp for Mardi Gras. Wednesday was the start of lent where I have 40 days without booze, soda or fast food. Then on Thursday the bug hit me and I was stuck in bed for the weekend. Being stuck in bed for four days, allowed me to watch a bunch of movies, mainly sports films. This led me to this week topic: the top ten sports movies of all time. 10. Remember the Titans. A movie that shows - a team find faith in each other while their community would not. 9. Jerry Maguire. This film brought up the greed and selfishness of players in sports, while brought humor at the same time. Plus, when you think of this film what comes to mind? Guaranteed it is, "Show me the money!" 8. Field of Dreams. This film brings so much more to life than just the game. The film will eventually climb my ladder and move into the top five when I get a little bit older and have kids of my own. 7. The Natural. Everything that goes wrong in an athletes career happens, but a man battles back to get everything he had ever loss. And there is no cheesier ending to a sports movie then this one, but that is what makes it so great. 6. Mystery Alaska. A classic hockey movie that shows what a small town hockey team can do when they are up to the challenge. It is a true hockey game on the pond that brings an amateur hockey team against the New York Rangers. 5. Hoosiers. The greatest basketball movie ever made. An undisciplined team gets light from an unusual coach. A huge underdog team tries to make a run at a state championship in Indiana. 4. Rocky. The beginning of what becomes one of the greatest collection of films. The theme for a great sports movie is to have an underdog story, and this is probably one of the greatest underdog stories of all times. 3. Slap Shot. Probably one of the most of the best slap stick comedy sports films out there. But there are no better one liners •and raunchy humor than this movie brings to the picture. 2. Bull Durham. A love triangle that has an experienced catcher, a wild pitcher and a loving groupie who gives the two the love and advice they need. L Miracle, There is not a more famous quote in the sports world than A1 Michaels, "Do you believe in miracles? Yes!" Of course I am going to have a hockey movie as my number one, and yes I have three in my top ten. But Miracle is a'film that shows how a country that needed a miracle got a hockey game.

The harmonious and self-proclaimed "original gangster from Cleveland," Bushwalla counts his past 22 years of performance as merely the foundation for his current career status. At the youthful age of nine, Bushwalla, or back then known as William D. Galewood, joined "Kids on Broadway," (a live musical theater group for youth) in which his love for performing, acting, singing, and bringing joy into the lives of others was first actualized. Rocking the mic around town and across the nation, the former clown (yes, a professional clown for 8 years) beat-boxes and entertains at anywhere from low-key house shows to playing international festivals with his roomie and longtime friend, Jason Mraz. This past weekend, I had the lovely opportunity to catch up with Bushwalla for a brief interview in the sun, overlooking the Oceanside Pier, as we contemplated the fate of the shabby house whose glory days of being in "Top Gun" have long gone. I have also been fortunate to attend several of Bushwalla's shows as of late, as he is wrapping up a month-long M Sunday night residency at Mueller College, across the street from the former Twiggs Green Room down in University Heights. Don't worry; you can still catch him there this upcoming Sunday! Each show not only encouraged my obsession for live music, but it transformed me into a pivotal element in the show itself. You see, should you be so lucky to partake in a Bushwalla experience—and I should hope you would—you would quickly find that audience participation at shows is not only encouraged, it's mandatory! At any Bushwalla show, you might be pleasantly surprised to find Bushwalla trying to balance his guitar on his chin, and walk across the audience's chairs with everyone still seated—among other humorous antics—all of which cement his showmanship, his talent, and his affair with improv. Therefore, without further ado, the following is an excerpt from the wildly amusing and singular interview with Bushwalla. The Pride: How did you come up with the name Bushwalla? Bushwalla: I used to listen to the Ghetto Boys when I was 16 years old. They had this guy, Bush with Bill, and I had a system in my car so I'd bump [it], and my friends started calling me Bush with Billy. So, when I moved to New York to go to school, I went to the orientation and I walk in and I hear "Bushwick!" and I'm like "what?" It was a guy from Cleveland, so then my friends up there started calling me Bushwick. And then I teamed up with Mraz and eventually we were writing together one day and he goes, "Dude, you can't be Bushwick, there already is one," and so I said, "What about Bushwalla?", and it was as simple as that. I didn't think twice about it. Maybe if I would have known then what I know now, I might not have chosen Bushwalla. It's a blessing and a curse. But what's in a name? You know what I mean? I could easily do the same thing under any name. The Pride: What has been the biggest personal transformation in your music so far? Bushwalla: Repetition, playing with different people, doing as many shows as I try to do, and confidence. The more confidence you have, the cooler you look. And I don't mean ego, I don't mean you're up there going "I'm awesome." It's a confidence you say to yourself. Affirmations are a big thing for me. It's all about taking down the fourth wall and being one with the audience, experiencing it with them. I think the discovery of that, that they're as much my audience as I am their audience—if I can get on a ride with them and we can surf together the hour I'm on stage—that's what it is, and that's where confidence comes from. The Pride: Tell me about your new album. Bushwalla: The new album is called "Autodidactical, Freestyle, and Radical." Autodidactical isn't really a word. It's kind of like a made up word, and I wrote it in a song years ago. "Autodidact" means self-taught, which I am. And "freestyle" is basically how I live my life, how I live my shows, it's just how we all should be doing it. "Radical" is just like radical thinking; the album is radical. It really captures the Bushwalla mentality, Photo by Maryam Bushwalla serenading local coffeeshop-goers at Hot Monkey Love Cafe the comedy, the seriousness. The guy who produced the album, Andre DeSantanna, put his touch on the whole thing. He really let it evolve into an art piece and not just another merch item. I think it's a very honest album. I don't think there's a single; I don't even know what a single is. But I'll tell you what, I think every one of them is a song that someone could respond to. Like you may not like tracks one to eight, but you might really dig nine. The Pride: How many tracks are on the new album? lesson? Don't die your hair pink. I was going for another color, but it ended up that way. Live life. Live high. Experience. College gives you amazing things. Independence; that's what I got from college. I met some of the best friends I have to this day in college. It was the seed that planted my adult life. I went to New York and got crazy for two years, and learned how to write songs. I didn't have to try to be what I thought I was supposed to be. i man, Jason Mraz; and he is not only a great friend of mine, he's a fantastic artist. It's going to be done on recycled, biodegradable paper with vegetable oil ink—totally green. Like when we put the album together, I said if there is one thing I want, I want it to be a green album. I went to San Francisco and did the Green Festival, and it's very important to me to not contribute to the waste. Bushwalla: You know, some things in life you don't know— you just trust. I don't know why I make music. If you asked me why I made music, I'd have no idea. If you talked to any of the surfers in front of us, they could try to explain to you what surfing means to them, but the only true answer is what's happening inside of them right now while they're on that board. And it's like after I'm done making music or doing a show, you just go back. But maybe if I stopped in the middle of a show, and you asked me that question, I'd probably be able to answer it, or I wouldn't even have to because you would just see what it meant to me. It's part of breathing. It's part of me. If I were to cut off music in my life, I would be an amputee. I would be disabled. There is no other option than performing [for me]. Performing is music, magic and making peace. Bushwalla: There are 11 listed, and then there are some surprises. I would say the last week of March it will be available online, on iTunes, CDBaby.com, bushwalla.net, a link through MySpace, and through live shows.

The biggest walla.net �Dramas mistaken for comedies BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer For the sake of increasing appeal, a rising trend in Hollywood is to market a film to suit viewer taste. As comedies are a more popular genre, marketers and critics label films as such. Calling serious movies 'laughout-loud' is gross misrepresentation. Most of these films have some moments to laugh at, either to break the tension, or if a situation is farfetched, or because they are stories of real life, which is a comical event. Therefore, I chose to re-label these films as dramas with comedic moments. Though this is not exclusive to the twenty hundreds, I will use recent films to make my point. The first is "Sideways." Even though this 2004 movie includes witty banter between Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church, as well as a funny moment about a car and a tree, this is not a comedy. When analyzed, the content of this film is serious and at times dark. It is not right to treat the topics of infidelity, betrayal, and substance addiction so lightly. Theflawsof both characters are not laughing matters. Following that in 2006 was "Little Miss Sunshine." Those who disbelieve, stay in your seat while I explain why it is unreasonable for this movie to garner a nomination for the Golden Globe for 'Best Comedy.' The moments of comedy occur because some scenes are uncomfortable and laughter is either needed to break the tension or because it is the easiest reaction to feel, especially in a movie with Steve Carell. This movie is 100% drama. Consider the themes of suicide, bankruptcy, heroin addiction, depression, and death. I find it hard to even chuckle at any of these situations, which makes me wonder why so many critics called it the funniest movie of the year. Finally, I find it fitting to mention last year's "Juno." The tagline reads 'a comedy about life and the bumps along the way.' I find this far from the truth. Juno's smug attitude only earns an occasional laugh. However, I enjoyed this film because of the great story about teen pregnancy and relationships. These issues therefore make this a drama. That is not to say I did not like the films, for it is quite the contrary. I t is that I appreciated them on the level I saw them, not the way a money-hungry marketer told me to like it.

Star Brand Imports of White Plains, New York, handles importing the brewery's beer. The brewery brews the ale slowly and all naturally as they have done for over 360 years. The brewery has a long and perplexing history. Thefirstofficial document regarding the brewery dates back to 1634. The brewery was originally a monastery establishment that produced strong beer to aid the pain in fasting. In 1780, the monastery received official permission to sale their beer. In 1806 and under new ownership once again, the brewery began to expand. In 1844, the brewery escaped devas- ^ tation during a revolt against the prince in Munich. In 1881, the brewery begins to utilize the invention of the ice machine to enable them to produce beer year-round. In 1986, they brew the world'sfirstalcohol-free wheat beer. In 2005, they brew the world'^ first alcohol-free yeast-based white beer. Throughout the years the brewery has experienced vast expansion and numerous ownership changes. The website also hosts an interesting yet questionable timeline about the history of beer. For example, they claim in 1500 BC "According to the Egyptian mythology the God Osiris, God of agriculture, taught man the art of brewing beer. The Egyptians learn how to brew beer by allowing barley to germinate in pots and the malt mash to ferment through wild yeast andfinallyrefining the taste of their beer with date sauce." The cardboard container holds six 12 fluid ounce brown glass bottles. The six pack retails for $8.99. The container portrays a snapshot of a family enjoying the outdoors amongst a snow capped Munich. The bottles contain the same imaging. A white bottle cap with the company's logo caps an ale with an alcohol by volume of 5.5%. The ale pours semi-smooth generating a half inch thick head. The head remains trapping in an assortment offlavors.The ale has a murky golden hue common of hefeweizen styled ales. A faint aroma arises from the glass. The ale enters gently. Small packets of taste gingerly massage the mouth. The ale passes leaving a supple wheat tasting residue for an extended amount of time. The soft nature of the ale ensures a pleasant pairing with almost any lunch or dinner item. As always, please enjoy responsibly. On Wednesday, February 13 , student residents can take part in a speed-dating event entitled, 'Come Single, Leave Lucky.' Tables will be up set so that young men and women can pair together and chat for a few minutes and try to make a connection for the most romantic holiday of the year. Recent conferences to share program ideas inspired this event.. As well as a chance to meet a special someone, there will also be hors d'oeuvres th and'mock tails'to refresh flirting people who grow weary. Conrad Ottey, an RA, says, "Our goal is that people get to know each other. It is not just about a love connection, but students getting to meet others." Nick Falconer, a student who plans on attending says, "I hope to meet more than a few new ladies, but having a good time is most important." Based on the success of the program, it may become a yearly tradition.

To Professor Sharon Elise, a member of the Black Faculty Organized (BFO) group and the target of a racial threat scrawled on a bathroom wall last semester, racism at the university is institutionalized. The administration is trying to play down the racial incidents, she adds, and, by doing so, actually is sending the message that such behavior is tolerable. In the wake of the hate message last semester, Elise has asked for, and been granted, leave f rom classroom duties this semester in order to conduct research. Kimberiy Kagy, chair of the Associated Students Diversity Committee, believes the administration has been reactive on racial issues, rather than pro-active. She questioned why the diversity committee was not set up before last semester, and added that blacks on campus d on't see themselves represented in university policy-setting. President Bill Stacy, on the other hand, points to the fact that the university 's faculty See Race, pg. 8 Track and soccer field to be built Btiildihg 15 groundbreaking, site blasting.

A ccording t o A S P resident K ristina Gundersen, white students and faculty who don't see the grievances of the B FO and others being justified feel that they are being persecuted.They don't see the racial problems as signifigantly as does the BFO, she said. One white woman student said she was totally surprised by last semester's racial incidents. "I didn't see it, so it was hard to believe," she added. "At the time I felt it was blown out of proportion." The fact that black students seem t o know all about the racial incidents while white students didn't bothered her, she said. "It made me feel guilty f or not knowing the situation," she added. Another white student, Anthony Howard, said he doesn't understand what the black faculty expects the administration to do. CSUSM is "ripe" f or such hate groups as the White Aryan Resistance simply because the university emphasizes diverse themes, he added.

Building 15 grounds broken 'International Building' set to open in Fall '98 By Larry Uleman Pride Staff Writer Building 15's Jan. 31 groundbreaking ceremony concluded with a bang — to remove granite. The controlled blast shook an evacuated Academic Hall and Founder's Plaza around 4 p m, as students and faculty stayed clear to avoid flying debris. There have been three additional blasts since, each as more granite threatened to stall construction. Building 15, called the International Building, is scheduled to be completed by fall of 1998. It will house computer labs f or foriegn languages, literature and writing, psychology, social sciences, and business administration. It will also contain four high end multimedia stations and 120 lab stations. The building's nine classrooms will have network connection and will be able to receive video broadcasts. Three-hundred stations will be capable of broadcasting as well as receiving. The building, which will lie behind Academic Hall, is designed with f our stories in its front portion and three in its elevated rear, which will lie up a graded hill f rom the frontal section. Funding was secured f or the building through Proposition 203 — passed last spring by voters. The proposition provided $ 14.5 million in construction funds, as well as $ 1.5 million to equip the building. Building site excavation is scheduled to be completed shortly, and may require more blasting if more immovable rock is encountered. The buildings foundation will follow. CSU One Card raises concerns with system's student association By Tina Leary Pride Staff Writer One all-purpose I D card that can be used on and off campus may be coming to Cal State San Marcos soon. It's called the "One Card," and it has become a hot topic of debate among students and faculty. If approved at CSUSM, it could be used as a student I D card, debit card, calling card and security access card on campus. Off campus, it could be used as a credit card with participating companies, and even in some vending machines. It also could provide complete access to grades, current GPA and other private and personal student affairs. Many college campuses already have implemented such a student I D card f or use in libraries and media centers, in printers and photocopiers and at student activities. The cards have a magnetic stripe, similar to those found on the back of CSUSM's current student I D card and the California driver's license. Simply by running the card through a slot, a police o fficer could obtain necessary information about the student's driving or criminal history. Similarly, with one swipe of the one card student ID card, the library and media center know when you owe. Some have expressed discomfort with having so much information available on one plastic card. Others find it a wonderful way to save space in your wallet and valuable time. The California State Student Association passed a resolution on the C SU One Card, addressing concerns such as impact on local business and economy. The card may not be accepted as a form of payment at an independently owned supermarket or restau- Trom p. 1 rack f tor. Materials and equipment will most likely be donated. Fundraising efforts will be aided by Ash and Juanita Hayes, who worked on fundraising campaigns f or the Republican National Convention, rant, which could encourage students to frequent other locations. Another concern voiced by the C SSA states "current Federal and State laws are inadequate to ensure the security and privacy of students' confidential information and therefore puts at risk the p rivacy and p ersonal a utonomy of i ndividuals within our CSU community." Although laws and policies protect a student's privacy, concern focus on whether privacy can be maintained with so m uch information accessible through one source.

A fter all, most mothers want nothing less than health and happiness for their o ffspring. That and a well-paying j ob that will lead you into your own apartment with your own food and your own washing machine. Now that I am fast approaching the half century mark, I feel that I can o ffer some sage advice to h elp you achieve the goals I 've listed above. Mind you, these are only suggestions I 'm sharing with you because, like any mother, I want you to succeed. Now, have you decided on a career? Let m e point out that careers tend to change about seven times throughout a normal person's life. Yes, in a normal person's life. That means that one day, you too, may be returning to college when you are older and grayer, so in the meantime, please be . nice fQ the blder student sitting next to you. That brings u p the point: that the world is really smaller than you think. College is a great time to network, you know, get to know as many people as you can. Participate in college and community activities. One day it may help you land that perfect j ob! In deciding on a career, I strongly suggest that you consider volunteering; yes, work f or free. G o ahead and ask, "Well, what's in it f or m e?" L et's think about this. Volunteering your time and skills in a prospective career will gain you insight about j ob expectations and what steps you can take now to prepare f or career advancement. Learn about the company by talking with employees. Ask questions about advancement opportunities and retirement plans, because even you will one day look forward to retirement. Observe positions that men hold and those held by women. Does this tell you anything? D oes management solicit employee input or are programs authoritarian? D oes the organization provide f or continuing education and training? How about layoffs? How often are salaries reviewed? In addition, y ou'll b e building your resume and earning some valuable experience. So, learn all you can about the place you wish t o grace with your presence, but b e selective. Cal State San Marcos promotes service learning; that is, some type of community service is required to graduate. Service learning is an excellent way to learn m ore about a career and an organization. An added bonus is that y ou'll be getting in touch with the community. Get involved and work to m ake your community a better place. Many organizations are encouraging their employees to participate in volunteer work. Volunteering - the cool thing to do. Internet shareware site finds 'Cool Tools' fastest By David J ohnson Pride S taff Writer All too often, computer users purchase software that fails to live up to expectations. Either it is the wrong tool for the j ob or the program is so complicated and overbearing that its main function is to sit on your hard-drive and take up space. In fact, the phrase "caveat emptor," or "let the buyer beware," should be embossed onto the spine of all those invitingly c olorful, yet s omehow benign boxes wherein lie the C D and the 400page manual with annotations. F ortunately, t here is a s olution. Thanks to this trivial little fad called the Internet, it is now possible to access vast databases of loaner and even free software called "shareware" and "freeware," and download pretty much whatever it is y ou're in the market for. W hether y ou're an aspiring programmer looking f or a good HTML, V RML, A ctiveX o r JAVA editor, or y ou're j ust looking f or a cool game to take your mind off frivolous activities like homework, these databases o ffer a b oundless s ea of p rograms t o w ade through. A nd, o nce y ou've caught something that looks useful and/or interesting you j ust reel it in and give it a try— before you shell out the hundred bucks. A s t hese d atabases grow larger, finding what you need is becoming egregiously difficult. Even if you happen to stumble across something that looks like it might do the trick, there are ten other programs that also can lay claim to that. Yet theirproduct does it better, faster, and with infinitely more style. And, since the problem with time is that there is never enough of it, imprisoning yourself in your house while the file or files download, cut off from the rest of the world because your phone line is tied up, almost makes the wasted C-note look like a worthwhile loss. B ut, t here i s a s olution. W hile s hareware.com, d ownload.com, c / net.com or Zdnet.com all o ffer huge c ollectionions o f s hareware a nd freeware, there is only one place that does it better, faster, and with infinitly more style: www.slaughterhouse.com. The cool thing about this site is that not only does it make looking f or s oftware at other sites feel like y ou're trying to d o a Dewey Decimal search f or a pamphlet on the South American Piss ant in the Library of Congress, but it rates each file with skulls, f ive being best, on performance, functionality, and all-around usefulness—greatly truncating the amount of time spent chasing your cyber-tail so you can get the program up and running quickly. The majority of your time is spent evaluating the software, not the dust on y our m onitor a nd t he B ACK a nd FOREWARD buttons on your browser.,, Slaughterhouse.com also o ffers a daily pick called "THE C OOL TOOL O F T HE DAY." The author gives a detailed description of what he feels to b e an invaluable, or at least really cool piece of software. These picks are then archived by month so that anyone w ho m issed a C OOL T OOL c an r evisit them. All told, this site o ffers numerous other niceties, but the bottom line is if you want to maintain your sanity as well as an operational phone line, try the Slaughterhouse. You'll be glad you did.

To many people, this immediately leads to thoughts about how w e'd better get in shape f or the beach. The CAPS staff is aware that these are dangerous days, and potentially self-destructive, so we o ffer the following as advice on how to develop an eating disorder, hoping that the opposite of this advice will be followed. The first and most important thing you can d o if an eating disorder is your goal is to go on a diet. We are not talking here about simply being careful about what you eat. By "diet" we mean a set of highly restrictive rules or constraints on what you eat. T he more restrictive the better. Some of you might choose rules that have to d o with skipping meals: not eating l unch, n ot e ating b reakfast, n ever a snack...in other words, fasting f or hours on end. Many who choose this pathway t o an eating disorder try to convince themselves that when they eat nothing in a day, they See Career, pg. 8 are being "good". For others, the rules have to d o with you are still preoccupied with the diet, even kinds of food that are strictly taboo, usu- when you are being successful.

Koenig, Ed Thompson, Norma Yuskos, Cheryl Evans, Renee Curry PRODUCTION SUPPORT West Coast Community Newspapers I mportant developments in campus racist incident saga TONY BARTON It appears that our campus racists took no more than a six-week winter vacation like the rest of us. T hey've been on a busy schedule since returning — defacing a mural and hitting 300 cars with racist fliers, each detailing a separate ethnic group. One was even tailored for so-called "Race Traitors." You know, those of us "whites" who associate with minorities. A public hanging was promised for all such "traitors." Blacks, according to the flier, simply be will shot to death for dealing with whites. A swastika and racist epithet were painted on the hallway mural across the courtyard f rom the library — specifically, on the face of a crying black girl — by some attention-depraved idiot. The defacement since has been painted over. On Feb. 6 and 7, an audit of the c ampus's racial climate, specifically the administration's ability to deal with the racial unrest, was conducted at the request of President Bill Stacy. June C oo per, former vice chancellor of human resources and operations f or the CSU system and Maria Santos, a CSU human resources advisor, served as the auditors. The racist fliers, of course, were distributed on the first of their two days on campus. Call it convenient. The timing must have been planned, of course, to further damage the university's reputation. But did it? Or did it provide the administra: tion with the perfect opportunity to show its intolerance f or racists. Santos indicated the flier incident would affect the audit "in the context." Certainly the administration c an't be held responsible for racists showing up in a campus parking lot. But it can be for how it deals with such an event. Let's take a look at the university's response. Campus police responded immediately when tipped to the distribution. O fficers captured one of the distributors red-handed, and identified two others, one a C SUSM student, as likely accomplices. The District Attorney ' s o ffice was called immediately and press releases promptly sent out across campus. A f und that will donate to anti-racist and educational organizations each time a racial incident occurs on campus was very conveniently already in the works. It was announced the following day and appeared to most to be a direct response to the fliers. Perhaps it was impossible to sweep this one under the rug, but the administration d idn't even attempt to d o so. The circumstances were acknowledged, and dealt with. N o one has questioned either the speed or the sincerity of the university's response. By doing so, the university has bolstered its image as being intolerant of race-hate crimes — an image that was tarnished by critics last Semester. The flier incident truly was important for that very reason and for one other: It gave a face to the anonymous racists — that of a 15-year-old, White Aryan Resistance member f rom La Mesa.

Tray Thomason Junior Psychology �LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Prude, Tbuxsday, Yelnuany 13, 1996 CSUSM following footsteps of AOL I submit to you this letter to the editor. I also submit that I am doing it on-line in the mornings because i t's the only time I can get remote access to our server here at CSUSM. My computer tried the dial-up number 300 times last night, o ver a span of two hours, and I could not get on. Last night w as a regular Tuesday night in the beginning of this s emester—what on earth is going to happen around finals? If I c an't get on the net to d o research and check mail in the beginning of the semester, w hat's going to happen when things really get rolling? T he l abs a re o vercrowded, s o y ou would think that those w ho have bothered to get t heir o wn m achines, ( as r ecommended by the school), would be in good shape! I feel like students have become very unimportant to m anagement at the computing lab. T he first thing that strikes m e i s w e h ave t o l ive w ith a ssigned usernames, i.e. - ' knuefOOl'. T hat's unusual, and not a c ommon practice among service providors o r other larger universities. Second, I h ave never been informed or kept up to date as to what kind of services are available to students in regards, to computers. I hear everything through 'the grapevine,' the latest being that a bank of modems have been moved over to a different number f or teachers* and there are now less modems. I think teachers should be aware that information they post to their website or send through e-mail may not be easily retrievable by students anymore. Third, if I absolutely had to pay a computer f ee or something when I register, I would much rather do that than have a heart attack during finals when I c an't get on the web...but so f ar I h ave not been given that option or any other. I sincerely hope the computing d epartment will begin to respond to students' needs — after all, i sn't that what they are there f or? Maguire. I will complain about you to the dean of CSUSM. I can not believe that you would waste time and tuition money to insult people. Why was it so important to write me back and call m e dumb ass. What good did this do?

Bright colors are back in fashion, feel-good music is p opular a gain, and t here is a D emocrat in the Oval O ffice. And the d ecade's biggest movie, "Star Wars," is back in theatres in a remastered, enhanced f orm that utilizes t oday's technology and y esterday's f ilm f ootage, " Star Wars: T he Special E dition." "The Special E dition" is e ssentially the same movie, w ith about f our m inutes of added f ootage created with today's special effects innovations. The Rebellion is still fighting against the oppressive Galactic Empire, The Force i s still with us, and M ark H ammil still c an't act his way out of a paper bag. For those of you w ho h ave never seen "Star Wars," which would be quite a f eat w ith i ts p opularity a nd exposure,the 1977 film stars Harrison Ford, Mark Hammil, Carrie Fisher, and A lec Guiness ( who won an Oscar f or h is r ole as Obi-Wan Kenobi). It is a lot o f f un r evisit t he y outh o f s uch megastars as Harrison Ford or a merely m ediocre celebrity like Mark Hammil* w hose biggest claim to f ame besides the "Star Wars" movies is providing the voice f or T he Joker on the "Batman" animated television series. But d on't b e fooled into thinking you h ave already seen "Star Wars" if you watched it at home on the V CR, or even if you saw it back in 1977. I t's a m ovie that has a quality f ew movies possess, in that it s o completely sweeps its audience into the on-screen action and m akes the audience feel like a part of the movie. On the big screen this element is even stronger, and George Lucas proves that he can still create one of the greatest movie theater adrenaline rushes ever. T he new f ootage is a wonderful addition to the Him. Scenes that were intended to be in the original version but were impossible due to budget and technological restraints are now possible thanks to computer animated e ffects. T he m ost p rominent new scene features Han Solo (played by Harrison Ford) and "Return of the J edi's" rotund c rimelord, J abba t he H utt. J abba is Jabba the Hut, a viilian not viewed until the "Return of the Jedi" in the trilogy's original version, converses with Han Solo (Harrison Ford) in "Star Wars: The Special Edition." Imperial Storm Troopers ride upon fully computer-animated Dewback in the special edition of "Star Wars." The creature was an immobile prop in the the movie's original version. nothing more than a computer graphic, and looks excellent. Other existing scenes, once sparse, are now f ull of strange alien creatures and exotic scenery. Scenes taking place in space have also been cleaned up and lengthened. "Star Wars" still stands as not only the highest grossing m ovie of all time (it should eclipse "E.T.'s" current record any day now), b ut also as o ne of t he most influential. It changed m ovies i nto m ajor events, extravaganzas of m edia attention and publicity, and catapulted science f iction to a new level of e xcellence. This might not have been f or the best, since it i nadvertantly s pawned e ffects-driven, plot-lacking m ovies like " Twister" and "Independence D ay," t o n ame only t wo of the most recent. Regardless, it is impossible to ignore its mark on modern cin- ema. Speakingof influence, "Star Wars" is the catalyst f or the newest m ovie trend, the rereleasing of older classics. T he next f ew months will see not only t he r erelease o f t he " Star W ars" Trilogy's other t wo films, "The Empire Strike B ack" and "Return of the Jedi," but also t wo of the 1970's cimenatic highlights, "The G odfather" and "The Graduate." T he "Star W ars" Trilogy is an u ncomparable thrillride that no o ne should miss. T here's simply nothing like it. The "Special Edition" enhancements are a f resh addition to an old movie, and manage t o revitalize it f or a new generation of viewers, as well a s an older group w ho grew up with it.. Why would anyone in his or her right mind sit through 4 hours and 10 minutes of a movie whose plot is as familiar as an old carpet slipper? W hy? F or t he s ame r eason t hat Shakespeare's plays have been continually produced for more than 4 00 years. S pending 2 50 m inutes w atching "Hamlet" is not an ordeal; it's an Experience! Kenneth Branagh truly has succeeded in bringing live theatre to the screen in an unforgettable way. Because "Hamlet" is a play that is open to many interpretations, directors the world over have spent a lot of time striving to capture the true essence of the play. But Branagh has achieved a rare triumph, producing nuances in the characters rarely seen in other productions. Branagh himself plays the brooding prince of Denmark. Though, at 33, he may seem a little old f or the part in the eyes of some critics, Hamlet begs f or a certain maturity often lacking in younger actors. The cast is. numerous and multi-national. Charlton Heston gives a solid performance as the Player King. Fans of Robsfri Williams may be disappointed at the small part of Osric, but Williams' performance raises a giggle from the audience nevertheless. B illy C rystal p ortrays o ne of t he gravediggers and seems comfortable with the language. Not so, Jack Lemmon, who plays Marcellus, one of the witnesses to the ghost of the dead King Hamlet. He does not have many lines but he seems to forget the first rule of reciting Shakespeare: You may not understand the words but you have to say them as though you d o understand! Derek Jacobi brings a softer side to Claudius, giving the audience some idea a s t o w hy G ertrude ( played b y J tilie C hristie) w ould m arry h im. C hristie's make-up and sometimes drab costumes d o little to flatter her, perhaps to show she is trying too hard to look attractive. Hamlet accuses her of "whorish behaviour." The production design and costumes are early Victorian with Blenheim Palace lending a magnificent backdrop. So, if y ou are a lover of good theatre, this production is a must-see. It does not do it credit to call it merely a "movie." You cannot know bad theatre until you have experienced really good theatre, and this is really good theatre! The Rock is predictable and improbable, standard action By Jenal Larson Pride Staff Writer Want an action movie sans the requisite car crashes and corpses? "The Rock" may leave you stone-cold. Directed by Michael Bay, the newlyreleased video stars Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage, and Ed Harris. Although certainly activity-laden, "The Rock's" plot is both improbable and pre- dictable. U.S. General Frank Hummel (Harris) is especially u nbelievable. H e is a highly-decorated V ietnam Veteran w ho wants restitution f or families of Marines killed during illegal, i nternational, a nd U.S.-ordered activities. However, a respected, legendary war hero with access to the media would hardly hold 81 hostages on Alcatraz Island and threaten to launch rockets filled with "human-meltdown" gas in order to achieve political aims. E very a ction movie needs an action figure, of course, and " The R ock" b oasts Sean Connery, who plays Alcatraz escapee J ohn M ason. M ason l eads F BI a gents through the dank recesses of the islandprison. Cage f ans will likely appreciate Dr. Stanely Goodspeed, FBI chemical weapons specialist assigned to diffuse the rockets. Although the formulaic plot of "The Rock" prevents any real sense of danger, Cage seems fully aware of this fact. His quirky, comedic performance is parodic and f un— the highlight of the movie. "The Rock" stands as a f un escape into the standardized, semi-predictable action movie world. �Four Rooms: absurd, bad and funny By Jenal Larson Pride Staff Writer Keep your p ants on and collect your tip. T hat's the advice given Tim Roth, the bellhop in "Four R ooms." No gruntin', holierin' at Hoops By Sarah Harris Pride Staff Writer H e immediately proceeds to fail on the first count, but d oes succeed on the second. And the situations Roth gets into earning that tip provide viewers with an absurdly funny array of events. H e plays his role w ith z any g usto w hile h e s ways, swiggles and swishes f rom room to room. The film is divided into separate episodes, each directed individually, on N ew Year's Eve. Allison Anders directs the first, "Honeymoon Suite;" Alexandre Rockwell, "Room 404;" R obert R odriguez, "Room 309;" and Quentin Tarantino, "The Penthouse." Each is m ore bizarre and absurd than the preceding episode. T he all-star cast, including M adonna, A ntonio B anderas, Marisa Tome^and J ennifer Beales, appear to be having a great deal of f un producing outrageous and total chaos. In "Room 309," Banderas, needing a baby-sitter f or the evening, hires the Bellhop for $500 to check on his son and daughter every 30 minutes. T he children turn out to be very imaginative in their misbehavior, which is fueled by the d aughter's morbid tenacity to drive the bellhop crazy. But their agenda b ackfires when they find a woman's corpse under their bed. One bizarre event leads to another with a visually shocking scene at the end that d efinitely helped "Four R ooms" earn its R rating. The film works well, perhaps because its stars play roles we are not accustomed to seeing them in, i.e. M adonna d oes not play the Virgin or sing about the Virgin and See Rooms, pg. 8 If Sports Bars are your thing...

Lavoritories are best at Planet Hollywood By Gabe Lundeen Entertainment Editor W hat d o you get when you cross Arnold Schwartzenegger, Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone and f ood? N o, not an e nclave of f rightened cooks, but Planet Hollywood, the restaurant they hold stock in. For those of you w ho d on't know, Planet Hollywood is a restaurant franchise that has the distinction of being "the only dining experience inspired by the worlds of film and television." And it combines entertainment and eating with mixed results. W alk i nto P lanet H ollywood at Horton Plaza in San Diego and be prepared f or an assault on the senses. In glass cases all around the restaurant are various pieces of memorabilia, donated by an array of movie and television stars to be put on display. Some, like a piece of the Death Star f rom "Star Wars" or D on J ohnson's s hoes and p ants f rom "Miami Vice," are sort of neat, but f or the most part the items make you want to yawn with excitement. A fter all, what could be more exciting than eating next to Macaulay Culkin's various blunt objects (a paint can, a wrench and bricks) f rom " Home Alone?" And haven't we all dreamed of seeing Sharon Stone's high school yearbook? It's easy to tell why some of this stuff was donated. Inside the restaurant are multiple bigscreen televisions, showing plugs for Planet Hollywood merchandise and a medley of annoying celebrity shots and movie previews. Blaring at a decibel range not unlike that of a 747 j et at takeoff, it's a little loud, to say the least. Only in America would we invent restaurants with TVs, so even when we go out to eat we can remain glued to the boob tube. T he material shown is self-serving, shameless, and not conducive to proper digestion. The food, however, is quite tasty. The menu boasts a selection of salads, sandwiches, burgers, pastas, f ajitas and grilled platters, along with appetizers and desserts. The Chicken Crunch is the appetizer highlight. Believe it or not, i t's chicken strips breaded in C ap'n Crunch cereal and other seasonings, and it's different enough to be distinctive jjet not sickening or overdone. T he m ain m enu h as s ome u nique items, along with restaurant mainstays like hamburgers and pastas. Unconventional p izzas such a s t he C reole P izza, with shrimp and chicken, are the most original items on the menu. But for the less adventurous, everything else should suffice. The grilled sirloin is enough meat to feed any hungry action hero, and the St. Louis Ribs are also plentiful. T he desserts are very good. From ice cream to sorbet to various specialty pies, there is something f or everyone here, too. E ver wonder what Arnold S chwartzenegger's m other m ade f or dessert? Well, be curious n o longer, as >his m other's apple strudel is featured. And f or the afficionados of bad puns, there's the Ebony and Ivory Brownie, working together in a perfect harmony that would make Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder proud. Above all else, Planet Hollywood has to o ffer is the bathroom. The lavatories are lush and beautiful, and f ull of frills. A towel boy (in this case, a polite y oung man named J unior) turns the water for the sink on to a perfect lukewarm temperature, puts soap on your hands f or you and hands you a paper towel afterwards. He then offers you use of various colognes and perfumes, gum, mints, and toothpicks. He even offers you an after-dinner cigarette! Any bathroom that will also give you lung-polluting carcinogens after your meal has got to be high class. One could seriously l ive in t he P lanet H ollywood b athrooms- t hey're that nice.

Race1 from p. connection with the leaflets, one of them a 22-year-old student at the university. But, because neither was seen actually distributing the fliers, both were released after a phone consultation with the San Diego District Attorney's office. University officials since have asked that anyone who might have witnessed the distribution step forward. If the university can verify that others were involved, it would be possible to bring them in for questioning. But Stacy has conceded there is little the university can do, even if it has evidence that a student helped distribute the fliers. Basically, he added, the student could only be given a verbal warning for littering and put on informal probation. "We would be able to tell him his behavior is not conducive to a learning community, that's the first thing," Stacy said. "The second is, 'You're a litterbug in the parking lot.'" Most students were dismayed by the leaflets. Kimberly Kagy, chair of the AS diversity committee, called the incident "disgusting", but added that those responsible were not indicitive of the general populus of pring i Br^aik g o t . i "SUa, e H a 7 nightipackage wai P u 7 night packagel l a r t a erto Va C a 7 nightn ackage ncu p you Council o ^ r & c l n iv.

Ironically, even before the leaflets were distributed, a group of CSUSM employees had set up a fund to counter racial incidents on campus by making donations to anti-hate groups and educational organizations every time such a problem occurred. The first donation — triggered by a swastika and racial epithet being scrawled across a mural in the hallway in front of the library two weeks previously — was to the Southern California Law Center, of Birmingham, Ala., the organization that in 1990 secured a $12.5 million civil judgment against Metzger and the White Aryan Resistance group after the beating death of an Ethiopian student in Portland, Ore. The A S' Kagy called the fund a "great idea" and "a step in the right direction." Kagy's diversity committee, composed of students, was set u p last semester at CSUSM through AS to help deal with problems of race, gender, age and sexual diversity. So far, it has met with some of the deans, published a news letter ("Pen/Sword") and attempted to inform students of the need for diversity on campus. "We have gotten our voice heard," said Kagy. Kagy also said a plan was in the works to s etup acommunity hotline where students and faculty could call to report racist activities or simply be given a sympathetic ear. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

By: Angela Oesterle Pride Staff Writer "Where are they going to go?" This seems to be the first question students ask when they are told that CSUSM will no longer offer housing as of June 2001. Interim Director of Student and Residential Life, Sandra Punch, tells students to wait for the "big package" housing has in store for 2003. With construction of the apartment-style dorms anticipated to break ground in fall 2001, Student Housing and Residential Life (SRL) is looking more towards the future rather than focusing on the current impact of the elimination of student housing. The dorms are expected to include 400+ beds and will be available for CSUSM students in Fall 2003, but the CSU Trustees must first approve the plan. Punch is working to establish a housing program with such people as Russ Decker, Director of Design and Construction; Susan Mitchell, Senior Director of Health, Counseling, and Disability Services; Jonathan Poullard, Dean of Students, Francine Martinez, VP of Student Affairs; and others. Although there will be no school-sponsored housing, Punch believes alternatives, such as seeking housing centers via the Internet, will benefit students. "What we are really doing right now is upgrading our web site," said Punch, "We are actually visiting a dozen apartment complexes in the area, from Escondido to Vista and places in Carlsbad...\ye will be doing virtual tours of those [apartment complexes] ." According to Punch, the remodeled web site "will provide an online web-based listing service, for apartment complexes and individuals to list." » Article continued on page 2 Hi e Pride California State University San Marcos Chavez Granddaughter Shares Personal Side of Civil Rights Leader By: Nathan Fields Pride Feature Editor ment who mentioned that a schol- education was not the best, later its English translation, "It can be arship might be available for her. in life, education was his passion, done."

It is hardly fair, however, to assume that with gore comes a bad story, bad acting, and bad direction. Hannibal proves quite the contrary to all these. This sequel to Silence of the Lambs brings everyone's favorite cannibal back into the spotlight. After living a life of anonymity for years, Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) starts up with his old tricks after FBI Special Agent Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore) finds herself in a bit of a PR bind with the Bureau, and the bureaucrats. what his motives are until the Hannibal Lecter, and he delivers As the title suggests, Hannibal end.

Photo by: Phil Bray on the character. Ridley Scott (Alien and Gladiator) replaces Jonathon Demme as director arid brings his own unique style to the film. Unlike Demme, Scott opts for more dramatic composed music (Hans Zimmer) and aesthetically pleasing settings than his predecessor. Sadly, Hannibal falls short as a psychological thriller. The story's good, the acting's good, and there are a few good scares. If you read the book, you will definitely be disappointed by the ending, which was completely changed from that of the novel written by Thomas Harris. Otherwise, it's a good movie to see with friends, as long as you don't mind the blood. If you take a date, however, see it after dinner.

More T han Just a Catchy Title By: Am >erZinsky Pride Staff Writer Aside from its lewd connotation, Snatch is a unique film written and directed by Guy Ritchie, (Madonna's husband).

Brad Pitt stars as Mickey, a bare-knuckle >oxing gypsy.

Members of the community, - Library staff and students joined Otto as he walked through his installation, describing his art work and his motivation. In Otto's installation, bird houses painted red and blue hang from branches above leaves strewn on the library floor. A colorful banner of cloth extends from the installation on the third floor to reach the fourth floor of the library. According to Otto, the bird houses in his art work symbolize the human form of a home. "A place you go where you feel safe- to escape the busyness of the world and to cultivate dreams," Otto said. With many recurring images in his work, one piece that stands out from the rest is a character Otto calls, "Rock guy." The rock character reappears in Otto's paintings along with the bird BLACK H ISTORY M ONTH E VENTS • Feb. 13 at 6 p.m. - B SU hosts fashion show at Ciark Field House. • Feb. 15 at 5:30-7:00 p.m. "Black Market" will be the topic of the "Dinner Dialogues" presented by the Cross-Cultural Center and Educational Equity & Diversity 7pm in the Dome. • Feb. 15 at 7:00 p.m. - "Tuskegee Airmen" film showing in the UVA classroom. • Feb. 17 at 7 p.m. - " Rosa Parks" film showing in the UVA classroom. • Feb. 18, departing from UVA at noon - Sunday Gospel Brunch at the House of Blues in downtown San Diego.

In nine states, including California, the FDA has changed restrictions to allow individuals that are 18 and older to obtain the product over the counter, while individuals under 17 can obtain the product with a prescription. CSUSM student, Laura Contreras shares her perspective. "I think the right to choose is a good idea, but it should not be available over the counter. I'm worried that younger women, who might not be informed, may use the morning after pill as a form of contraception without understanding their other options." At the CSUSM Health Center, the cost for the pill is $25.00. Male or female students can purchase the product, with or without counseling, up to two times per month. After the second time in a month, an appointment is required. The main reason for requiring an appointment is because the product is not intended for frequent use, nor does it substitute birth control. Users should know that the product is advertised as up to 89% effective for reducing pregnancy risk, and does not protect from STD's. Nursing Major Naomi Strong said, "I personally believe that the plan B pill is a good backup method to birth control. However, I don't think that the pill should be used as a routine. Women should take the necessary precautions and be responsible when having intercourse but people do make mistakes which also See PLAN B, page 2 �THE(N>RID{ S A t yWVtWnYUN TT New study abroad options available % Deadlines approaching for Australia, New Zealand and South Africa ËDITQRIAI STAFF chance to apply and study for an academic year in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The application date for Australia, New Zealand and South Africa is May 1. A decision on whether the student is qualified to go will be made in late August. A complete application must contain an IP Application, two faculty recommendations and official university transcripts from all colleges and universities attended. According to the CSU International Programs website, "Admission of a student is based on academic, linguistic, and personal qualifications, and on the appropriateness of the students' proposed plan of study to their degree objective." There is no application fee, and those looking to apply are best advised to meet with an IP Campus Coordinator. An academic year of studying abroad is beneficial to students because not only does it take time to culturally assimilate to your new surroundings, but the extensive amount of time also crosses the line of being a visitor into becoming a true resident in the community in which you are studying. Stockey understands the importance of spending an academic year abroad and said, "Year long programs provide an even greater opportunity for a richer cultural experience." IP enrollment fees are kept at an affordable rate because student costs are partially supported by the State of California. The cost of studying abroad is dependent on what country you wish to study and their economic situation. Students pay for their own housing, transportation, meals and any extra costs. Scholarships and financial aid are available. However, what the CSU International Programs website considers to be most important is the expérience you attain by studying abroad and considers studying abroad "A long-term investment in yourself and in your future." Students do receive credit for all coursework that is completed while abroad. All completed coursework is considered CSU resident credit. Academic Reports are prepared by the Office of International Programs, who converts host university information into CSU campus terms. Students must meet with a counselor prior to their departure in order to understand how the work the student completed abroad applies within their scope of requirements. Should students have any further inquiries on studying abroad they can visit the CSUSM website of global affairs at http:// w ww.csusm.edu/UGA/studyabroad.htm, or the official CSU International Programs website at http://www.gateway.calstate. edu/csuienet/index.shtml. range from books on women's issues to calculus and biologiit to vent and be alone.

Studying abroad allows students to engross themselves in an atmosphere that is not only academically stimulating, but also makes for a life-long experience. CSUSM International Programs advisor, Jan Stockey said, "Studying in another country brings a dimension to your education that you cannot imagine." As students separate themselves from what is familiar, students challenge themselves to exist in a foreign place. In meeting new people and encountering new experiences, students acquire a new understanding of not only themselves, but the world around them.

With these things in mind, our status and the remaining steps toward completion of the signalization of the intersection at Palm Canyon and Craven, as well as traffic control at the crosswalk from Lot C to the Dome, are as follows: • The engineer has completed the design of the intersection of Palm Canyon and Craven. The University requested this design shortly after fall semester's accident. • The President's Executive Council allocated an initial $75,000 to Facilities Development and Management to begin work on this projeqt. • The cost estimates for the project, which includes design, installation, inspection, and • contingency, is $300,000. The University will need to fund the additional $225,000. • The University is required to follow a bidding process which takes approximately two • months. The University can now begin advertising for bidders and anticipates that it will • take at least 10 weeks to procure the equipment. • Last fall, I indicated that we anticipated completion in spring 2007. The process took a little longer than projected and we now expect to complete the project during summer 2007.

Continue to have Community Service Officers (CSOs) at the intersection during peak traffic periods. Increase enforcement of parking/ driving rules. Use crossing guards at impacted intersections to protect pedestrians. Finally, reducing the number of private vehicle trips and therefore the number of vehicles on campus would reduce traffic problems.

Hoss Vice President Finance and Administrative Services �C ougar s oftball h ome o pener BY JEREMY ALBERS Pride Staff Writer It was standing room only at Mission Hills High School Saturday, Feb. 10. Coach Jennifer Milo had her ladies ready in front of a crowd of roughly 200. Mr. Taco, the Mexican eatery that also catered the baseball opener, fed the hungry crowd as the Cougars stepped foot on their home turf for the first time in the program's history. Coach Milo said of the home fans, "This is fun. It's lots of support." The field at Mission Hills is in great condition and the parking is onsite right next to the Mission Blvd. entrance. Coach Milo put her ace pitcher Melissa Lerno out. in the first game of a double header against Vanguard University, a Christian School in Costa Mesa, CA. It was the right decision, and the sophomore Lerno was toughest when Vanguard had runners on base. After a single and balk in the first allowed a runner to get to third, Lerno induced a groundball to third base and Amanda Sanchez tossed over to first for the third out. Vanguard pushed home a run in the second on a weak grounder that somehow found a way through the right side. Lerno got the next hitter to ground back to Sanchez at third and left the bases loaded. In the third the Cougars dodged a bullet after a leadoff triple by Vanguard's Sarah Howe. Lerno got the next two on strikeouts before getting a lazy fly ball to left field where Leilani Madrigal snared it for the final out of the inning. Lerno definitely had her good stuff on this day stating, "I had lots of movement." The game was a real pitcher's dual as the Cougars had trouble with the high heat of Vanguard pitcher Jennifer Olvera, who struck out 14 on the day. It wasn't until the fifth inning that the Cougars put together a rally for the home fans. Erica Coelho walked with one out. After she hustled to beat the throw to second on a bunt by Lindsey Preovolos, Madigal came up with two outs and two on. She hit a looper towards the Bermuda Tri- angle, the area behind shortstop and between the center and left fielders. Vanguard's shortstop had to have heard the roar of the crowd as the ball tipped just off the edge of her glove. When the dust settled, Coelho scored the tying run and Madigal stood on second with a game tying RBI double. The game remained tied 1-1 as both teams missed opportunities with runners on base. After Lerno got a clutch two out strikeout on a close pitch with runners on first and second, Vanguard Coach Beth Renkoski was kicking up dirt near the visiting dugout. The umpire was inconsistent but Lento said, "He got better as the game went on." The teams played into extra innings where each side gets to start their half inning with a runner on second base. Vanguard was able to get a run in the eighth despite the brilliant play by Lerno and her catcher Preovolos on a squeeze attempt. The Cougars failed to get a run in the bottom of the eighth and lost the game 21. It was a hard fought game and led Coach Milo to say the team is "getting used to each other." She was also happy with the performance of Lerno in the loss saying, "she just got stronger and stronger out there." As for the extra inning "International Rule" where the inning starts with a runner on second base, Coach Milo said, "to me it doesn't show the better team, but we both do get it. Sometimes it falls your way and sometimes it doesn't." Freshman Erica Coelho seemed to like it saying you're guaranteed "no ties." It is reminiscent of college football when each team gets the ball at the 25 yard line in overtime. The Cougar softball program has already beaten then ranked # 10 Concordia, and appears ready to compete in this first season of play. Mission Hills High School is located on Mission Blvd a few miles east of Twin Oaks Valley Road just on the other side of the 78 from CSUSM campus.

The dedication on and off the track, and hours and hours of preparation for each event gets the teams one step closer to their goals. The early meets are stepping-stones towards the next meet and preparation for Nationals. Coach Scott said, "[We are] starting at the Meet of Champions, then [we will move on to] Triton, UCI, Clairemont and Occidental. These are the meets that will point towards Nationals. These meets are to get them at their best, to set new personal records and to prepare them for Nationals." The NAIA National Championships is set for May 24 to 26 in Fresno, CA. This gives the CSUSM track teams three months to prepare and qualify for Nationals. Some of these athletes may be able to qualify for Nationals at the Rossi Invitational. As the team gets deeper into the season, more and more of the CSUSM track athletes will continue to qualify for Nationals. So, be sure to stop by one of the many track meets and support your fellow classmates. Give them that extra adrenaline rush that will help push them over those qualification marks and reach nationals.

Yet the Chargers managed to break the hearts of thousands of fans again in typical San Diego fashion. Than there are the Padres, the other group of historically talented losers. This is a team that has only made five playoff appearances in 39 years. Theirfirstplayoff appearance was in 1984 in which they made the World Series, losing 4-1 to the Detroit Tigers. The Padres did not return to the playoffs again until 1996, where they were swept by the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL Division Series. Then, in 1998 they made their second and last World Series appearance, tasting defeat at the hands of the New York Yankees in a series which ended 4-0. In 2005, the Padres made it to the NLDS where they were swept by the St. Louis Cardinals. The team's last playoff appearance was in 2006 in the NLDS, where they lost yet again to the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1. What is it about the Padres and the Chargers that seems to prevent them from winning the big one? I can't really answer that question. Is San Diego a cursed city when it comes to sports? Why not? The Boston Red Sox had the "curse of the Bambino" and the Chicago Cubs have the "Billy Goat curse." If there is a curse, what curse is it that rests over San Diego's professional sports teams? �website of the week: p i t c h f o r k m e d i a . c o m BYJONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer ample amounts of information regarding independent music.

Making the grade: No grade inflation at CSUSM BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer Paula Montagna, a graduate student here at Cal State University San Marcos in Literature and Writing, transferred here with a 4.0 GPA. During her undergraduate studies, she received one A-. Her GPA is now a 3.9 without any method of making it higher. "By using a grading criteria in which students may earn an A-, but offering no option to earn an A+," said Montagna, "CSUSM uses a grading system which punishes students for their imperfections, rather than reward students for their achievements." Is an "A+" an ever-elusive grade at this school? How did our current grading system get implemented? What is the philosophy behind it? Founding faculty member Larry W. Cohen, professor emeritus of biology, has some of the answers. About why grades top out at A, he said, "We (the Founding Faculty) wrestled with the question ourselves at the time but decided to stay with the long-established standard of 'A' as the top possible grade rather than opening the possibility of escalating to A+, A++, etc. and undermining the integrity of the A." The plus/ minus system of grading is meant to indicate the subtleties of students' performance. Cohen also sheds light on the possibility of attaining an A+. "Over the years at CSUSM, I did issue A+ grades on occasion. The grade went to one or two people whose performance was way out ahead of even the other 'A' students. I would estimate, after looking over my grade books, that it was with a frequency of about 1-2 per hundred." The grade of A+ shows up on the transcript, but is not calculated into the grade point average as more than just a regular A. Grade inflation was one of the concerns of the Founding Faculty when instituting the grading policy. Cohen said, "Too many faculty are concerned with being popular and for them A+ may become the typical A grade, fulfilling the fears of the Founding Faculty when they considered the question." Grade inflation, according to national statistics, has been a problem among postsecondary institutions since at least the 1980s. It is defined as the increase of the number of high grades over time, and is often associated with lax academic standards. With more and more students achieving higher grades, it is easy to conclude that standards have been slipping; with students reporting that they contribute less effort than those who had preceded them, it is conclusive to attribute the higher grades phenom- enon on the institution and not on students simply becoming smarter. Many measures have been taken by other universities to combat grade inflation. Some universities limit the number of A' grades a professor may give. Jennifer Diffley, an alumnus of Brigham Young University reported, "It was impossible to get anything higher than a D at BYU. The professors made it their personal mission to ensure that no one ever received A's on assignments. It was to avoid a little thing called 'grade inflation.'" While CSUSM does not employ such harsh tactics, grade inflation is still a concern according to Cohen who helped to implement our current grading systeip. CSUSM celebrates Black History Month BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer "I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: - 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.'" - Martin Luther King Jr. February marks the annual celebration of "Black History Month," for Americans nationwide. What began on February 12, 1926 as the first celebration created by Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson, a Harvard Scholar, has now become the nationally observed "Black History Month." Traditionally celebrated in the second week of February, Dr. Woodson chose to celebrate African American history in February as a tribute to Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, both of whom Woodson felt had a significant impact on African American history, and both of whom celebrated birthdays in the month of February. Honoring fellow influential African Americans such as: W.E.B. Du Bois, Thurgood Marshall, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, Dred Scott, Booker T.

The day set aside for lovers to share their feelings for one another. The day dreaded by single people around the world. The day chocolate and flower vendors make a fortune, and the day that cupid makes his presence known, shooting heart-tipped arrows off into oblivion hoping to inflict hopeless romantics and lovebirds with la amour. Many might be wondering how the uber-commercialized holiday came about, while others could care less as long as the chocolates and candy-studded greetings continue to abound. For those, however, who are curious, Valentine's Day as we know it is said to be a combination of an event and a historical person. The event is said to have begun in the pagan times of ancient Rome, with the annual celebration of a fertility festival called the "Feast of Lupercalia," which traditionally occurred in mid-February. The festival was known for pairing the mating of young men and women each year through a sweepstake arrangement. More often than not, it is said that the arranged couple would fall in love and eventually marry. Also linked to the Valentine's Day festival, are the infamous legends of Saint Valentine of Rome. Saint Valentine lived in Rome under the sovereignty of Emperor Claudius II. To retain a valiant army, Emperor Claudius incessantly enlisted soldiers, but to his misfortune was able keep soldiers, because the majority of men did not want to join his army because of their commitment to their wives and families. Upon realizing this, Claudius forbade all engagements and marriages in Rome. Thus, Valentine, an idealistic and romantic priest began to organize secret marriages for young couples. As soon as Claudius unveiled Valentine's treachery, he imprisoned Valentine, and later executed him on Feb. 14, circa 270 A.D. Subsequently, Valentine became the patron saint for lovers during the Middle Ages in France and England. Then in 498 A.D., Pope Gelasius chose to end the celebration of the pagan festival, "Feast of Lercalia," and thus declared February 14 St. Valentine's Day. Exchanging "valentines" and love notes is one of the central elements of Valentine's Day. It is rumored that this practice began with Saint Valentine himself, who while in prison fell in love with a young girl, thought to have been the jailor's daughter. Prior to his execution, it is supposed that he wrote her a love letter, which he signed: "From your Valentine." It is also said that Valentine's Day falls on Febr 14 each year because during the Middle Ages in England and France that date marked the commencement of bird mating season. Furthermore, the oldest accounted for Valentine is said to have been written in 1415 by Charles, Duke of Orleans, while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London. Nonetheless, though the rumors and allegation surrounding Saint Valentine seem to flow in abundance, they all have one thing in common; they portray Saint Valentine as a heroic and romantic man, suggesting that Valentine's Day should be a day for love and romance.

Her son especially lent specific character traits to Clementine - his impulsive, distracted temperament, characteristic of Attention Deficit Disorder,-combined with his artistic, empathetic nature, also characteristic of ADD. Pennypacker said that she wanted to show the positive aspects of ADD without belittling the difficulties. As a result, all of the adults in "Clementine" are very supportive of the third-grader. "I wish the world had [told my son], 'What a wonderful artist you are,'" said the author. When speaking of the writing process, Pennypacker refered to "flow." "There-is a feeling of Tightness when you tap in instead of controlling [the process]," she articulated.

Located in Balboa Park near downtown San Diego, the Old Globe is one of the town's first professional theaters, hosting 50 minute versions of Shakespeare back in 1935. The Cassius Carter Centre Stage was renovated out of the original restaurant, the Falstaff Tavern in 1965. This 225 seat arena is incredibly intimate. The stage is in the center, and the actors perform to every angle, giving everyone the feeling of nearness to the action. With the 360 degree seating, only four rows occupy each side, so every seat is a good one. In "The Four of Us," actors Gideon Banner (Benjamin) and Sean Dugan (David) experience friendship while entering the life o £a writer. The play opens by dropping the audience into the middle of a conversation at lunch regarding Benjamin signing his first book deal. David, who has chosen to go into playwriting, has yet to have any recognition of his talent. The sarcastic wit of actoiiSean Dugan and tfte clever dialogue written by Itamar Moses reveal the envy and resentment going on in the mind of David. The play goes through confusing shifts in time, clueing the audience in with the clothing of the cast and their conversation. However, the relationship of the rieedy David and the affable Benjamin is hilarious. They've been friends since a summer camp after high school and have seen each other grow into separate careers in writing. Along the way they share the awkwardness of dating and money-making. The acting in this play was very well done. Sean Dugan, who has appeared in HBO's dynamic cellblock series OZ and episodes of the Law & Order series, did a brilliant job as David. His sniveling jealousy is believable, while Gideon Banner, with strictly theatre experience, plays the success-won't-change-me role with a real air of pride. Yet, with only two actors, the back and forth gets a bit tiresome at spots. There seems to be an inward reflection by playwright Itamar Moses. He pokes fun at the literary field and its ability to create celebrities andpoison friendships. Moses is considered the next big thing in the theater crowd, having much critical acclaim in New York City and nationally. At 29 years old, Moses' future seems very bright. : K ^HJ , : Bring your thinking cap to this very clever comedy surrounded by some cheap laughs at an abundant use of the "F" word. With cigarette-smoking on stage and a male bonding marijuana puffing session, "The Four of Us" is most definitely intended for a mature audience. ^'The Four of Us" is playing February 3-March 11.

ÌMCB $9û:QbcmmmhY I �Movie Review BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer "The Messengers" is the stateside directing debut of Danny and Oxide Pang. Isn't "Oxide" an original name? It is pretty much the most original thing about this film, as the Pang brothers borrow elements of three or four other horror movies and mix it up into 90 minutes of tired horror cliché. Instead of exploring the possibility that children can see things that grownups cannot (as the trailers for this movie implied), the film goes off into a very different direction that fails to make any sense. What kills me the most is how much potential this movie had and how much was wasted in falling back on the already-doneto-death horror tricks. You'll see psychotic crows reminiscent of Hitchcock's "The Birds," contorted crawling-on-the-walls ghosts which gives you "The Grudge" deja vu, and a giant haunted house similar to — I don't know — every horror movie « T V Messengers fails to deliver ever made. The ' story follows the Solomon family who move to North Dakota from Chicago in hopes of making a fortune on cultivating sunflower seeds. The dad, Roy (Dylan McDermott), and mom, Denise (Penelope Ann Miller), are the oblivious parental duo. Roy is a hard-working farmer with an undeniable determination and a body way too hot for a dad. Denise is a typical 1950sstyle housewife whose fortes include bed making and making a killer glass of lemonade. Jess (Kristen Stewart) is their teenage daughter who is deeply affected by something horrible that happened in Chicago. Ben (played by twins Evan and Theodore Turner) is the toddler who, conveniently, cannot talk but sees much. Right before planting time, Roy meets up with a mysterious drifter (John Corbett) whom he hires on the spot after learning his first name. Meanwhile, the house is playing tricks on Jess and Ben who are the only ones harassed by ghosts. The actors, most notably Stewart, whose past credits include "The Panic Room" and "Cold Creek Manor," do an amazing job with what they are given. Stewart is wonderful in this role, giving her character the balance of maturity and innocence. McDermott, of "The Practice," gives a sincere and believable performance as a dad who is trying to hold his family together. Miller never misses a beat as a protective and over concerned mother. The Turner brothers play a wonderfully creepy part, which is a credit to them and the directors. Corbett plays his role so suavely that you almost doubt he is a threat to the Solomon family. The music and sound design were both done nicely. Though the music was a very obvious cue to what is going to happen next, the score was well-written and well utilized. The sound design, in particular, was eerie and scary without going overboard into cliché-land. Possibly the only time I was even a little frightened during this film was due to the excellently crafted sound. The direction and cinematography both were not too unoriginal but seemed to take you too much out of the experience instead of bringing you in. Overall, the plot is the thing that gets in the way of this movie the most. Apart from the fact that moviegoers had to suffer through tired, recycled horror tactics, the movie simply did not make any sense at the end. Small plot holes are easy to ignore, but when they are as big as the sunflower field on screen, they go from ignorable to extremely annoying in less time than it says to say "The Messengers." And, after seeing this entire movie and taking pretty good notes, I still have no idea why it is even called that. If you enjoy pointing out plot holes and mocking movie discrepancies, this film was made for you. Otherwise, "The Messengers" is completely skippable. •«ini J • rt.lt J i f M W^WÊiM' I ffi : -, / ^MESSENGERS Image courtesy of Sony Pictures Beer of the Week ^ i n t e r s Jgourbon £ a s k ¿ Ale Pride Staff Writer Anheuser-Busch brews Winter's Bourbon Cask Ale December through February.

The packaging, containing six 12 ounce bottles, sold the beer. On the packaging stands a snowman wrapped with a scarf, mittens, beanie, and even goggles. In light of the fact that snowmen are the coolest of all men, the snowman smugly holds a frosty mug of frothy beer as snowflakes descend from the beer heavens above. Strong aromas emerged from the bottle as I poured the cold contents into a chilled mug. The aroma from the hops and vanilla bean filled the vicinity as rays of light struggled to filter through the daik ahibfcr bdlxkr ^ ithe Hie. A powerful scent and TtiScioirs color sent surges of glee to my parched mouth. Reluctance gave way to impatience until the mug tilted and the ale began pouring into my mouth. A few sips quickly discovered the courageousflavorof hops and the smooth, retreating taste of vanilla. The bold taste and soft sweetness parallels the experience of Diet Coke. Diet Coke tastes strong at first before the aspartame leaves a semisweet flavor. The ale has many ingredients. Dark roasted caramel malts, all-imported hops, which are aged on toasted bourbon oak casks and whole Madagas- car vanilla beans^ cotopriis^" the^ ale. In the words of my four roommates, the ale "tastes like pumpkin pie," "is sweet first then bitter," "has a vanilla spike and bold taste," and one of my roommates who preferred to swallow the ale wholly through a conventional device designed for mass consumption of such substances said the beer "has a weird, rare, and uncommon taste." For an adventure and delicious treat for your taste buds, rush to the store and select your own six pack of Winter's Bourbon Cask Ale. The brew sits on shelves for a limited time. Photo by Jonathan Thompson / The Pride Drink of the Week Ck/OooLfote, BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer The scrumptious secret of the bean of the cacao tree is arguably the greatest discovery in world history. Those who may scoff at this assertion will, wild-eyed, change their opinion when their mouths are stuffed with the ambrosial marvel that is chocolate. As the story goes, the Aztecs discovered the aphrodisiac potential of chocolate. Hundreds of years later, the association between chocolate and love lives on. The link is not only found in history and lore but in the chemistry of the human brain. The high we experience when happy or in love involves the discharge of chemicals phenylethylamine and serotonin by the brain into the nervous system. Chocolate contains these same mood enhancing agents. It is, then, no surprise why ardent suitors and the happily married alike buy up armfuls of See's and Godiva chocolates for Valentine's Day. We delight in experimenting on our loved ones MfcirtLiisL' and ourselves, entertaining ourselves with a grown-up version of playing doctor. If the mad chemist in you is dying to get out this Valentine's Day, why not introduce him or her to your inner bartender. Meet the Chocolate Martini - a cocktail glass full of the most indulgent love potion imaginable. Smooth and creamy, this libidinous libation is best when enjoyed with your sweetie. To make a pair of delicous Choco 'tinis you need: 1 1/2 shots chocolate liqueur (I used Godiva.) v 1 1/2 shots creme de cacao 1/2 shot vodka (I recommend Absolut Vanilia.) 2 1/2 shots half-and-half Chocolate syrup to garnish Chocolate shavings to garnish Swirl chocolate syrup in two chilled cocktail glasses. Mix all ingredients except for syrup and shavings in a shaker with ice, shake, and strain into glasses. Garnish with chocolate shavings.

These parking citations may be invalid due to improper sign posting and the ofF-campus property not falling immediately under Parking Services'jurisdiction. Jim Courtney, Building Inspector for the City of San Marcos, said, "The property owner or manager can have the vehicles towed. They [Parking Services] can control the labeled lots, but they can't ticket kids in those unleased spaces or they're going t o end up with lawsuits." Parking Services has leased 160 parking spaces for 12-months at $1,000 per month at the 120 Craven Road property for use by CSUSM permit holders. Leased spaces are labeled with white paint "CSUSM PERMIT". The remaining 147 unmarked spaces are not leased by the university and are the private property of Palomar Pomerado Health Services.

Only a number marks it, like so many other doorways in this labyrinth maze we call Cal State San Marcos. Your hand reaches out and grips the handle as the door flings open. The sounds of life escape from the classroom, steamrollering over you. The small room overflows with students of all ages and beliefs who have come together. Lively discussion fills the air. Angry students zealously fight for their rights; others roll their eyes in boredom. Several raise their hand to remind us all to keep the peace and remember to work together. Applause booms through the crowd, but the chain does not break. With a new issue raised, the cycle of anger, boredom, and peace begins anew. The Inter-Club Council (ICC) meeting officially started on Friday, February 11, 2000, with a call to order at 1:40pm. Clubs join ICC is to receive full or partial funding for activities, limited insurance, and voting rights in all orders of council business. The representative of a club gives details on why they are asking for the money, then all the club reps vote yes or no to their request. Most funding is approved for at least half the amount requested, as long as it meets certain criteria. The discussion begins when the use of the money falls into a gray area in the rules. The first of these discussions fell on the request for funding of a "Safe Spring Fling" by Peer Education and Support Club, mainly because it was a large sum and other clubs felt it might be taking too much away from their store of shared funds. Eventually the motion passed, but with the condition that the Peer Education club seek partial funding from the American College Health Association. In attempting to give my opinion, I instead created problem conditions for the Peer club. I send my apologies. Peace was restored to ICC until The Victorious Club asked for thirty dollars for their Valentine's Day fundraiser. To sell lollipop bouquets the club needed a small amount of money for supplies. The club was denied funding because ICC money cannot be appropriated for fundraisers. The council quickly agreed to loan the Victorious Club thirty dollars, on the condition it is paid back after the funds have been raised. By the end of the meeting, almost every club drew together in an effort to find the best solution for funding each club's activities. By engaging in a kind of sparring match, members saw new ways around obstacles in order to get to their mutual goal: to engage students with activities that will awaken them to their campus and community. Melanie Addington PRIDE STAFF WRITER District Supervisor Bill Horn presented his "State of North County Address" to the major San Diego news networks and media, members of the community, and distinguished guests in room ACD102 on Friday, February 11, 2000. "It has been my tradition for the last five years to tailor a message specifically for North County," remarked Bill. As supervisor of the fifth district of San Diego County (which includes San Marcos), Horn works to preserve the public health, safety, and welfare of the people. Five individuals make up the Board of Supervisors. They sit on several committees to try to implement changes that they think will better serve the whole community. In other words, they are the people we send in t o deal with all the "bureaucratic mess." Speaking on behalf of all of us, Bill stated, "I would like to say thank you to our Sheriff's Department, District Attorney, the Probation Department, and the Courts for making our communities safer and for working together in a unified effort to stop crime in North County." Horn also stated, "The Gates Library Foundation will allow the placement of 54 personal computers and 16 printers." The libraries that will receive part of the $140,000 in materials funding are Borrego Springs, San Marcos, District Supervisor Bill Horn Valley Center, Vista, and Fallbrook. Due to his belief in education as one deterrent to crime, Horn also took credit for obtaining funding for an upcoming replacement library in Valley Center. He also hinted upon a new Pilot Program that will filter pornographic web sites in libraries. Right before his goodbye, Horn sent out the question, "You wouldn't send your children to the park with a pedophile, why would you send your kid to the library with a pornographer?"

Offensive E-mail from Garrett Collins DEAR EDITORS, I am writing to thank Johnny Coogan for his incredibly insightful article "To Read or not to Read". I find it amazing that reading has dropped so pitifully in the last few years. Kids (and probably adults) do not read enough at all. One might call them shallow. I myself am an avid reader: Critchton, Koontz, and Grisham are among my favorite authors. However, I find it very difficult to read a book for pleasure during the semester because of all of the reading that I am already assigned. I agree that everyone should read more, but as long as Playstation is around - sad to say - that is just not going to happen. J.

Knoblock said that the University Police has made no official sanction, and that the University Police is a separate entity from Parking Services. Knoblock also stated that permanent signs are on order. Parking Services' "temporary" signs have been in place for the first two weeks of the spring semester. Carl Blaisdell, Building Division Director for the City of San Marcos, said "If you post a sign, if you post a sign, then it must confirm to a certain width, height, material, location,,.. all that kind of stuff." When shown photographs of the handwritten signs placed by Parking Services, and asked if they are a valid posting, Blasdell responded, "I don't know. You'd have to go to court." Blasdell also stated that a judge could rule, "If I can see it, you can read it."

Knoblock reminded that there is an appeals system in place if a recipient feels that they have been ticketed unjustly. "If legal counsel becomes involved in this—we pull out of it and we let our legal counsel deal with it," said Knoblock. "The judge—that's the final decision." Courtney didn't agree and stated, "If you take it to a court, a judge is going to say 'that is not posting.' A reasonable driver is going to look where: 74-inches off the ground," and later added "the signs aren't anchored—they're not permanent." Deputy Charles Vorce of the San Marcos Sheriff's Department said, "If the Chief of Police issued any official sanction or temporary parking order, then these would be the signs." Deputy Vorce used an example of a bicycle race requiring temporary road closure.

In return, young men would court those women whose notes were drawn. The church merged the Roman holiday and the martyrdom of Saint Valentine into one when Christianity became the official religion of Rome. PRIDE STAFF WRITER The Tomb of Saint Valentine Valentine's Day comes when money has been drained from our pockets right after Christmas. It is a holiday second only to Christmas in spending and wrapping. Have you ever wondered why we celebrate Valentine's Day? Did it ever cross your mind that the beheading of a priest and a bishop resulted in such a celebrated and traditional day? The historical story of Valentine's Day is by far gloomier and less romantic than its modern version. Legend has it that Valentine, a Christian priest, married young lovers against the orders of Claudius II. According to Claudius, his men would be less willing tofightin war if they were allowed to marry, so he outlawed marriage. The priest did not follow orders and continued to marry young couples. As a consequence, the execution of the priest Valentine took place on February 14, 269 AD. Strangely, years later, another martyr, a bishop, also by the name of Valentine, was beheaded as well. Here's another Valentine's story: February 15 was the day designated to honor the Roman god Lupercus. To celebrate, young women would write and deposit In the United States, the greeting card industry sells millions of Valentine cards each year. Nowadays, Valentine's Day no longer includes religious customs burdened with martyrdom. Instead, sweethearts exchange cards. I must add, however, that after speaking with several students on campus, I find that would-be sweethearts claim they would prefer something less generic in gifts, such as cards, PRIDE STAFF WRITERS Dr. Lytle did not play any of Johnson's music but he suggested students read Johnson's book Black Manhattan. Dr. Lytle also performed scores by Thomas "Fats" Waller that he All in the name of love. Stained glass window depicting S t Valentine Celine Dion's "All The Way...A Decade Of Song Victoria B. Segall PRIDE FEATURE EDITOR Kathleen Hash and Giovanni Ferrer Dr. Lytle told the audience that he liked to improvise when he felt the piece called for it. He asked, "Do you play what's on the page, or do you trust James Wallen Johnson and improvise?" When asked what would be the worst Valentine's Day gift, Spanish major Lupe Canseco answered, "A Valentine's card with nothing written in it except a signature." Who would have thought that the death of two religiousfigures,mythology, and lore would have resulted in the holiday we celebrate today? How did the exchange of cards begin? Another Valentine legend arose during the Middle Ages. Lovers exchanged messages and gifts because it was commonly believed at this time that birds began to mate on February 14. Valentine cards came to the United States with the first English settlers. Mailing homemade Valentine messages became common practice when postal systems were organized. In 1847, Esther A. Howland developed the first cards and sold $5000 worth in cards. Howland's Valentines became incredibly popular. Cecil Lytle: Piano Sounds through Music History On Thursday, February 10, 2000, pianist, Dr. Cecil Lytle presented a selection of music he called "Rags to Other Riches" in ACD 102. Dr. Lytle, a music history professor at UCSD is also the provost of UCSD's Thurgood Marshall Charter School. His selection for the evening consisted mainly of African American com posers that ranged from the late-1800s to mid-1900s. He performed three pieces by Scott Joplin, the most recognizable being "Mapleleaf Rag". chocolate, or a teddy bear, for Valentine's Day. Other students said they would prefer a self made and personalized card for Valentine's Day. felt might be new to most of the audience, as well as pieces like, "Alligator Crawl" and "African Ripples". Dr. Lytle was also a constant source of information and spoke about each piece in-between performances. The music professor was very excited about sharing the deep history of music with the audience. Dr. Lytle's enthusiasm was evident in his passionate and emotional performance, as his repertoire jumped from African American composers to Jewish-American composer, George Gershwin's "Three Piano Preludes". Hefinishedthe evening with "Giant Steps" by jazz artist John Coltrane. Dr. Lytle recorded a compilation of hymns last fall. The album, which will be released this summer and can be found at the UCSD bookstore, is as of yet untitled. Valentine's Day comes and goes every year. However, for those of you looking for romantic, "lovey-dovey" type music to listen to yearround, there is Celine Dion's most recent CD release, "All The Way...A Decade Of Song". Grammy-award winner Celine Dion's current CD compilation includes nine past favorites, including three movie theme songs: "Beauty and the Beast," "Because You Loved Me," from the film "Up Close & Personal," and "My Heart Will Go On," from the film "Titanic". In addition to such past great hits, there are seven new songs, including Dion's newest up-beat single, "That's The Way It Is," and a remake of Roberta Flack's 1972 hit, "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". This CD compilation, totaling sixteen songs, is a good purchase for music-lovers interested in Dion's more popular songs. "All The Way...A Decade of Song" results in slow, soft, soothing "pop" songs for listeners. Depending on your taste in music, this compilation may either help you fall asleep at night or help you relax after a long day of classes. Celine Dion's sweet-sounding, yet unbelieyably strong vocal talent may impress even those who may not be fans of this genre of music. �LEAVE LEONARDO AT TffE BEACH By Shanna Skidmore PRIDE STAFF WRITER Based on the book by writer Alex Garland, The Beach offers the viewer a sense of what life would be like away from everyday rituals and a world f ull of technology. not last forever. A decision that Richard made earlier in the movie comes back to haunt him and ultimately destroys his wonderful life away from reality.

Jana Homik Joni Miller PRIDE STAFF WRITER PRIDE STAFF WRITER If you have noticed a little more elbow room while on your way to classes in Academic Hall, it is not just your imagination. A number of freestanding, sandwich board signs were removed from the breezeway on the second floor over the Winter break. CSUSM's very own President Gonzalez was listed among some of San Diego's finest who were honored by San Diego Magazine's top 50 "People to Watch" in 2000. The January issue touted Gonzalez as a "no-nonsense educator who has eased troubling racial discord on campus, forged relationships with local community leaders, and won battle for funds to unclog traffic bottleneck at State Route 78 and Twin Oaks Valley Road." San Diego Maga zine reported that the President's plans to increase efforts for school funding for the proposed state of the art library, athletic facilities and student housing were just some of the upcoming challenges Gonzalez will face. The article summed up Gonzalez' performance to date by saying, "With enrollment on the rise and a hard-charg- ing Gonzalez at the helm, CSUSM enters the 21st century as a growing educational force with a solid mission statement." According to the magazine "there are so many watchables out there, the hardest part^ i s narrowing the list to 50...There is no standard formula. But we draw from a wide pool of talent, and we think we've arrived at a list that encompasses a broad range and diverse collection of San Diegans." Others named on the list are San Diego Police Chief David Bejarano, San Diego Museum of Art Director Don Bacigalupi, San Diego Opera Director Ian Campbell, State Senator Steve Peace, MP3 founder and CEO Michael Robertson, and Chief of Staff to the Governor Lynn Schenk.

According to Steve Orsak, director of Environmental Health and Occupational Safety (EH&OS), the signs were creating a safety hazard and blocking emergency exit areas. At least one half of the breezeway must be clear, said Orsak, and several of the signs had blown over, requiring students to step around or over the downed signs. Trevor Knudsen of the Anime Club notes, "Anime Project Alliance's board was broken in the process [of removal] and we were never notified that it was going to be taken down, or that it had been after the fact, we had to hunt it down and it took a while." Orsak believes that the wind, rather than rough treatment caused damage to the signs he called "abandoned." The signs lacked any identifying marks or names, and were therefore considered abandoned and removed. Leiana Naholowaa, Pride newspaper ^editor, said that the large newspaper wood bin near the stairway of Academic Hall was missing one day of the week right before school began. The whole walkway was cleared of signs and bins and she stated, "It looked like the area had just been water-blasted and cleaned. I assumed that Facilities would return our newspaper stand later on, and they did." Signs outside of Academic Hall tried to trade in their sandwich board sign for a more permanent glass case, similar to those already posted in Academic Hall. In spite of numerous attempts to obtain permission for such a sign, Kimberly Whidden, President of the Accounting Society last year never received a call back. "I too, believe the signs are unsightly, however clubs need a common area to post notices of our choice...Members need up to date information and a place to leave messages for each other."

Because the campus has no clear policy on sign placement, Orsak has contacted Administrative Services and requested that a task force be created to look at the sign posting policies. Clubs will continue to compete with each other and the university for the prime locations. If your club is missing a sign, they are being held by EH&OS.

Bernard Hinton, a business professor who hired the first series of business instructors f or the new campus, retired from CSUSM on January 31, 2000. Hinton had originally chosen to come to CSUSM because it was an "opportunity of a lifetime [and] a professional challenge." "Hinton is known as being demanding, but focused," said Rick Moore, CSUSM Director of Communications, "He knew what he wanted and how he wanted it done." Hinton actively participated in the building design of the campus and was instrumental in making sure that construction was completed on time. He helped the university in its move into Craven Hall and made sure that Hibiscus flowers were included in the campus' landscaping. Although Hinton is retired from teaching, he is the president and CEO of SmartCities, a company which provides low cost internet access for schools in the district and founded LightSpeed Fiberlink, Inc., an Internet service provider. Hinton grew up in the inner city of P etroit and majored in biochemistry until his senior year when he changed to business. One day he was called into his office by his Dean and handed a contract which stated he would be teaching the next semester as he earned his MBA.

With the addition of Lot H, more traffic has been speeding through Lot E in hopes of snagging a close parking spot in Lot H, located between the Foundation Classroom Building and MarksteinHall. Originally, no signs were posted and no measures were taken to reduce speed or alert drivers to be cautious while traveling through these lots. However, with increased driving speeds, the University Police Department installed two sets of speed-bumps directly in front of the Parking and Transportation Services office, where pedestrian traffic is high- Photo by Christine Vaughan / The Pride est in this area of campus.

Chamber Champions promote campus Film exposes sexual violence and rape in the African-American community BY JENNY NGUYEN Pride Staff Writer BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer The Black Student Union presents award-winning African-American feminist and documentary filmmaker Aishah Simmons on Feb. 15. Simmons' documentary, NO!: Confronting Rape in the African-American Community, will be shown at The Clarke Field House from 6 to 8:30 p.m. as part of the CSUSM Black History Month observance.

"If you threw a dart at a [San Diego] map, you would hit a graduate of SDSU, and if you shot a canon at that map, you would miss a graduate of CSUSM by far," said Dennis Guseman, Dean of the College of Business Administration. "In our plan to nurture, sustain, increase, and coordinate our community partnerships, we developed a program called Chamber Champions," said President Karen Haynes during her second annual Community Report. According to the Chamber Champions proposal, the program is designed to strengthen existing community partnerships, increase new partnerships, and increase the level of awareness and interest in California State University San Marcos's programs and activities within the business community.

Invisible Children, documented by three young filmmakers: Jason Russell, Laren Poole and Bobby Bailey, exposes the horrific consequences of a 20-year civil war in Uganda and discovers how the war has left much of the nation's population displaced, with children seeking refuge to avoid being kidnapped by the rebel group known as the Lord's Resistance Army, LRA. "They didn't know what they would find," said Alisa Wells, sociology gradu- and taken into the 'bush' where they are instantly desensitized to pain, blood and killing. Young enough to carry a gun and ideal for brainwashing, approximately 50,000 children have been abducted by the LRA. Yet despite the startling numbers, prior to the documentary, this tragedy was getting no international attention. The documentary has since expanded to a non-profit organization, with a mission to educate the public, empower viewers, and provide over 20 million dollars in aid for these Invisible Children. "Our dream is to inspire the young and young at heart, to challenge their thinking, and empower them to 'be the change they wish to see in the world' ate at CSUSM and presenter of the film screening. The young men inadvertently stumbled upon a civil war in Uganda containing horrors that proved to be so disgustingly astonishing it would be difficult for the rest of the world to comprehend, added Wells. ^ -Each night, thousands of children flee from their homes to sleep in bus depots and under hospital verandas out of fear that they will be captured by the LRA and forced into becoming child soldiers. These children, aged anywhere from five to 12 years old, leave their homes before dusk to sleep, in what they consider to be safer locations, protected by only one armed guard for the thousands of children. The fear is real for these young children. Those that are unable to seek refuge are often captured by the LRA History of Debt See INVISIBLE, page 3 Questioning Valentine's Day See News PAGE 6 Invisible Children Documentary See Features PAGE 3 Courtesy ofInvisibleChildren.com Cupid's Corner See Features /\ See A & E PAGE 10 PAGE 12 �Career Center presents Major and Internship Fair Collaborative event unites advising and internship programs to save students time and hassle Editorial Editor in Chief Patrick B.

Today, there are about 40 people involved in the Chamber Champions. Under the coordination of the champions, team volunteers attend chamber events and participate on committees and generally become active members of the area chamber. Chamber Champions and volunteers spend approximately three to six hours a month attending city chamber meetings and events "Over time, we are going to reach out to the Hispanic Chamber, Encinitas Chamber, and also the Solana Beach Chamber," said Dean Guseman. According to Guseman, the Chamber Champions program is a very concentrated way to reach over 200,000 people in the community. With many people involved in "Building Our Legacy", students will have great opportunities in the business community. One such example is the Senior Experience and internship programs. Many of these chambers offer scholarship programs. As a student, becoming familiar with your area's chamber events is crucial. It is the goal of this program to have the business community hire graduates of its community. By doing so, this creates an identity for Cal State San Marcos, mentioned Guseman. Students and graduates of CSUSM become more desirable and prestigious. "We have a great product, and we are marketing it as a Win-Win to a large number or people," said Dean Guseman.

"I believe rape is an important topic that we need to continually explore," said Jonathan Poullard, Dean of Students. Poullard explained on the importance of the presentation of NO! and Simmons' visit as not just for Black History Month, but for campus benefit. Presentations such as NO! are a reminder of the true nature of Black History Month as not only celebrations of blackness, but also celebrations of cultural diversity.

Auditions will take place Feb. 15, 16 and 17, from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. in The Clark Field House Conference Room 110. Applications are available at Commons 201 and Craven 4116. All talents are welcome, ranging from dance, music and song, to monologues, skits and personal stories. Performance pieces should involve aspects of Filipino culture, such as history, religion, interracial dating, and stereotypes, One does not have to be Filipino to participate, and anyone interested in performing is encouraged to audition. All talent levels are welcome, ranging from amateur to professional. The judges will be critiquing auditions based on presentation, vocal projection and energy on stage. Individuals selected to perform in the Culture Night will be required to participate in rehearsals that will help refine their talents/strengths and explore their performance piece. Prospective students do not have to audition alone. Duets and group skits are encouraged, as well as solo acts. Filipino Culture Night will be structured like a variety show with several different acts pieced together. The audition judges will be selecting enough performances to fill an hour and a half. "It's a great learning experience going through a production," said Diana Wong, ASI director of Cultural Programming and Kamalayan Alliance treasurer. "You learn a lot about yourself and others." The focus of Filipino Culture Night is to "break stereotypes and to show that we have a very diverse culture within the community," added Wong. It is an opportunity for CSUSM student voices to be heard. Also, the event hopes to make others aware how Filipinos have contributed to history and social institutions. According to Wong, attènding Filipino Culture Night will allow the audience to "see through the eyes of Filipinos" and understand that all racial groups struggle and BARRICADE,frompage 1 explained that the reason the barricade was implemented to slow down the speed of the vehicles proceeding to the back lot. The blocker is being used to channel people into more turns in hopes of slowing them down, added Miller.

"Our mission at the University Police Department is safety, and we prefer to head things off before incidents happen." INVISIBLE,frompage 1 through action," according to the organization's website. Over 70 students congregated in Arts 240 to view the 90-minute screening of Invisible Children, followed by a question and answer discussion. Eileen Reyes, a senior at CSUSM, described the film as "heart-wrenching," claiming that "it really makes you want to actively put time and effort in to help these children." Melissa Fanning, a freshman, who had seen the documentary prior to the campus-screening, was once again moved by the film. "It was completely intense," she said, "and it made me want to do even more." Many students, clearly shaken by the film, had questions as to how they could help. As with many documentaries, Invisible Children was made for a clearly defined purpose. Among their key aspirations, the filmmakers of Invisible Children seek to raise $20 million to provide relief and sponsor 100,000 children to attend school. Wells offered additional ways to help share commonalities. Students interested in volunteering for stage crew and production design are encouraged to fill out ah application and should plan on attending the auditions and get acquainted with the event coordinators and the performers.

Kamalayan Alliance is a Filipino-American organization on campus that focuses on inequality, social change, generational gaps and Filipino identity. It is non-exclusive and everyone is welcome to join. Kamalayan Alliance is working on becoming involved with other clubs on campus. Currently, members meet bi-weekly in various rooms around campus. A general board meeting will be held on Feb. 22, from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. in ACD 404.

Drivers are encoilraged to follow the 25 mph speed limit on campus streets, and the 10 mph speed limit in parking lots. Drivers should not swerve or j.et around the barricade, noted Koehler. This lane is essentially a one-way lane with the newly placed barricade in position. While the department does not plan on writing citations to violators disregarding the one-way traffic, if a driver were to get into an accident traveling eastbound i n the lane, the driver would be at fault for all collision damages, mentioned Koehler.

A lecture on the historical link between American debt and spending habits BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN Pride Staff Writer Exposing the history of the American debt, Phi Alpha Theta will host an intriguing lecture presented by respected Economic Historian, Danny Vickers, highlighting the nation's tendencies to borrow money and accrue debt. In collaboration with the History Department, the History Club, and the CSUSM Arts and Lectures series, the History of Debt lecture will be held on Thursday, Feb. 16 at 4:00 p.m. in University Hall, room 100. This free-admission lecture wonlt hurt budgets, but can assist in a better understanding of financial options and being debt-free. "Professor Vickers will be talking about the history of debt and borrowing in America, going back to the colonial period," expláined Dr. Anne Lombard, assistant professor of History.

"This lecture should be very interesting, as it is a topic that applies to almost everyone, not only on campus but throughout the world," said Stephanie Schott, president of Phi Alpha Theta, a national history honor society. "Learning the roots of debt helps create a better understanding and can allow the individual to master it in his or her own life." "The event is a chance to talk to an expert about a pressing national issue that most of us don't really understand: what difference the growing level of borrowing in America, both consumer and government borrowing, make to our economy, our society, and our future," said Lombard.

Some follow the scent of barbequed chicken; others follow the loud hip-hop music that hovers overhead. "Got me looking so crazy right now" sings Beyonce. "Your love got me looking so crazy right now." A woman named Anise from payroll greets me. Another staff member thanks me for joining their celebration. In every corner of the large luncheon area, colleagues and friends laugh, hug and add to a bubbling energy that even a stone-hearted journalist like me can feel. The African American Faculty and Staff Association (A AFSA) served up this bubbling energy at their 3rd Annual Soul Food Luncheon, held last Friday at The Clarke Field House. The luncheon is designed to raise money for future A AFSA initiatives. It was clear that funding was not their only objective, though. Karen Francisco-Butler of Admissions and Recruitment, along with Virgian Hughes of Registration and Records, explained that the purpose of the luncheon is to show others what African-Americans are like as people in their culture. Shortly after the staff opened the lunch line, the event featured AAFSA Vice President Gezai Berhane's power point presenta• tion entitled, "They came, they made a way." Profiling numerous African-American political and social leaders, the presentation served as an expression of culture from a historical perspective. As unimportant as rich food might be relative to figures like Rosa Parks and Shirley Chisholm (both part of the presentation), the luncheon's fare (provided by Southern Spice Catering of Temecula) deserved its own praise. The macaroni and cheese was chunky, super-rich, and so very pleasing. The tender barbequed chicken was sealed away from the world by a smoky red sauce, and it too struck ecstasy. The corn bread was corn bread. As for the collard greeas; well, they were vegetables, so let's just say that others enjoyed them. One person who looked to be enjoying himself was ASI President and CEO Marc DeGuzman. When asked about what the Soul Food Luncheon means for CSUSM, DeGuzman commented that "it's one of the ways we cel- Classifieds E GG D ONORS Healthy Eemales ages 18-30.

"When community can come together, that's what Cal State San Marcos is all about," said Jonathan Poullard (Chair of the AAFSA Fundraising Committee, Dean of Students, and the man who directed the proceedings) about the event. "It warms my heart." The room's heart-warming energy and spirit of expression were quickly sucked u p,, enriched, and re-distributed by the luncheon'sfinalact. Anthony Blacksher, a CSUSM graduate and graduate student, captivated the crowd with a moving slam poetry performance. "This poem is for Tookie" shouted Blacksher in a willing voice,"the Tookie that is redemptive!" "This poem is for Ossie." "This poem is for Rosa ... Life is civil rights." Blafcksher finished, the 100-150 attendees erupted in applause, and the energy was restored. The 3rd Annual Soul Food Luncheon served up culture, community, rich food, and an energy related to the three.

SIMON Pride Staff Writers To many bitter singles, and most men, Valentine's Day is just one more holiday invented to get people to spend money. Although the g ift industry may benefit greatly from this holiday, it actually originated long before Hallmark. One explanation, kept alive by educational TV stations like "The History Channel", points to third century A.C.E. Roman Emperor Claudias II. According to legend, he outlawed marriage between young couples because he felt that young unmarried men would Photo Courtesy of virtualmuseum.ca Valentine, sainted by Pope Gelasius, who wrote extensively against the "lover's lottery" of old make better soldiers. Valentine, a local Christian activist, defied Claudias, and secretly married young lovers until discovered and sentenced to death. Sites such as TheHolidaySpot.com often maintain the legend that Claudias tried to convert Valentine, who refused and then tried to convert Claudias, going on to suggest that the priest sent the first valentine to the Prison guard's daughter, who befriended him while he was incarcerated, the note reading "From Your Valentine". There are also stories claiming that the daughter's blindness was cured by Valentine's faith. Although these legends are somewhat unclear, it is easy to see how Valentine could be made into the patron saint of lovers. As there are two main stories explaining who Valentine was, there are also two theories as to why Valentine's Day is celebrated on Feb. 14. The first acknowledges only that this date Commemorates the death or burial of St. Valentine, the other points to another effort to Christianize a pagan festival, in this case, Lupercalia. In Rome, February marked the beginning of spring and the time of purification with Lupercalia celebrated on February 15 as a fertility festival. The day would start with sacrifices to the wolf goddess Lupa of a goat for fer- tat if tility and a dog for purification. Their hides were cut into strips and covered in holy blood. Youths were also covered in this blood but washed with milk before carrying the strips through the street, slapping playfullyfleeingwomen to bring fertility or easy birth. Moreso, on the eve of this festival, in honor of the Queen Goddess Juno, the names of young women were collected and put into a lottery for single men to draw. These couples would be paired for the year and this pairing often ended in marriage. Pope Gelasius outlawed the pagan "lovers' lottery" for being unchristian and declared February 14 St. Valentine's Day around 494 A.D. People began exchanging Valentines, but it wasn't until the 17th century that Valentine's Day became a popular holiday in Great Britain. It is estimated that both Americans and people from all social classes were exchanging valentines in the 1700s, even if printed cards did not become available till the end of that century. Esther Howland is remembered as the Mother of Valentines in the US for creating the first commercially produced Valentine's Day cards in the 1840s, as well as for her elaborate hand made Valentines. Cupid's association with the holiday can be attributed to his mother Venus, goddess of love I'm Juno, Godess of marriage and beauty. He himself was known as a mischievous child who flew around piercing people's hearts, causing them to fall madly in love. Today, this lover's holiday is celebrated in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia. The Greeting Card Association P h o to courtesy oftimeIessmyths.com claims that about one billion Valentine's Day cards are sent each year throughout the world and that women purchase about 85% of all Valentines. As for the Christian Nature of this holiday, the response about its roots and historical significance will all depend on who you ask. pregna •«•••is make i nformed. h ealth c onfident choice 700.74 277 S.

SIMON Pride Staff Writers Recall those evenings of free entertainment that deserved an admission, of attending extra credit events worth skipping class for. Pity those students who find none, for it is not the tendency, but the obligation of Colleges to provide them. Do not, for the sake of maintaining academic numbness, discard the opportunity to see and share the application of education.

Another attendant, Chris Wilson, a graduate of USD, had heard about the event through friends and left saying, "his poetry wasn't done to impress, it was done to be real, and that was impressive." Poetri himself brings the bulk of his performances and workshops to either high schools or college campuses, but is fortunate enough to say that "There's no different format for different crowds because I've been blessed to have work that fits anywhere." Although there can be no doubt that his work would benefit any aspiring writer, when asked about his contribution to Black History Month at CSUSM, Ms. Guevarra affirms that "Poetri has been able to represent a voice not only in the Black community but as a respected poet and performer. I did not choose Poetri only for Black History month, but as a contribution to the lifestyle of a spoken word artist...besides, I don't think it takes designated months to celebrate diversity." �Jock Talk With Josh Uditeli KO's Couture in Two Top 10 movies about sports A look into the world of the UFC BY JOSHUA SANDAVOL Special to The Pride BY MICHELLE HEROLD Pride Staff Writers I finished watching "Mr. 3000" on Starz the other night and I was pissed that I wasted an hour and 45 minutes of my life. To get the bad taste out of my mouth of the worst baseball movie ever made, I watched "Million Dollar Baby" on HBO, and I loved it. A fter viewing those movies, I got to thinking about my top 10 favorite sports movies so here they are, 10 - "Friday Night Lights" surprised me. I didn't think Billy Bob Thornton would be convincing as a high school football coach. It's hard to imagine Billy Bob even graduating from high school. This movie did a great j ob of portraying that there is no greater atmosphere in sports than a high school football game under the lights. 9 - "Happy Gilmore" is without a doubt the funniest sports movie ever made. Adam Sandler and Bob Barker brawling is quite possibly the greatest scene in movie history. It certainly takes an amazing story to make golf interesting. 8 - "Million Dollar Baby" didn't disappoint me one bit. I thought it would because I didn't see it while it was in the theatres, and then after all the hype at the Academy Awards, I thought there was no way it could live up to the hype, but it did. 7 - "Miracle" provided something for me that I wasn't able to experience since I wasn't born when the events took place. The story of the 1980 USA hockey team is something I really only heard stories about, but to see the actual sequence of events was pretty amazing. One reason I don't like seeing sports movies m the theatre is because of movies like this where the audience gets so emotionally wrapped up in the plot and ends up clapping when the team wins a game, as if the game was being played live. However, I really enjoyed this movie because I didn't know the interesting individual stories about all the players on the team. 6 - "Seabiscuit" is a sports movie. Don't think that horse racing is not a sport. I love this movie not only because horse Interested in Grad School? Money for prospective grad students!!

What's not to like about a hopeless animal and a hopeless man who team up and become one of the greatest combos the sport has ever seen? 5 - "Rocky" is impressive because Sylvester Stallone actually wrote the script. Who knew Sly could actually write? The only bad thing about the success of Rocky is that they made about 51 sequels and kind of ruined the mystique. 4 - "8 Men Out" is a movie that many sports fans probably haven't seen. It's about the Black Sox scandal of 1919. I love this movie because I've studied in depth the darkest moment in baseball history and this movie was a flawless representation. The most well known person in this movie is Charlie Sheen and he actually looks like he could play baseball in some of the scenes. 3 - "Rudy" is quite possibly the only movie ever made that makes grown men cry. What's not to love about a small guy who has no business being on a football field and through hard work and dedication actually gets into a game? I love the scene where the crowd is chanting, "Rudy! Rudy!"...sniff sniff. 2 - "The Sandlot" is basically what my summer vacations were like when I was a child. What is rare about this sports movie is that it is enjoyed by even the non-sports fan. I love the scene where Benny outruns the dog chasing him throughout town. Also, who can forget the scene where "Ham" and his enemy on another team get into an argument and "Ham" coins the phrase, "Youuuuuu throw like a girrrrrllll," which is followed by a big gasp. 1 - "White Men Can't Jump" is a movie I could watch over and over again. For anyone that has ever played street ball, he or she knows that the atmosphere shown in the movie was true to form. What's rare about this sports movie is that it doesn't involve an organized sports team. This movie also deals with so many different subjects like racism, violence, poverty, and deception. Also, any time Alex Trebek makes a cameo, you have got to be impressed. Let me know what you think of my list by sending an E-mail to Sando026@csusm.edu. Interested in obtaining yonrPhD? Money for doctoral students!! • The Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive/Forgivable Loan Program Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell once again proves his mettle against Randy "The Natural" Couture in the UFC light heavyweight (185-205 lbs.) division on Saturday at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. In a fight scheduled for five, five-minute rounds, Chuck Liddell knocked Randy Couture down with his signature straight right hand punch in the second round. As Couture went down, Liddell leaped to the ground attack, pounding Couture against the canvas for several seconds before the referee, Big John McCarthy pulled him off and declared Liddell the winner by a knockout. Unlike Boxing, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) mixed martial arts fighting events include ground rules as well as grappling rules. Both fighters can pursue their opponent to the ground, and as long as both remain active in their own defense, such contact is allowed under the rules. When one opponent is stunned or unable to defend themselves, the referee stops the fight to protect the fighter, and the winner is declared. The fight is held not in the traditional boxing ring, but in an octagonal ring fenced in with chain link, giving the impression of a cage match. But these fighters are pros, most of them trained and cross-trained for three or even four times the length of time a professional boxer is trained. Their discipline is generally much better, and their skills can encompass Boxing, Wrestling, Kickboxing, Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Karate, and any other form of personal combat they think they can use. Where traditional boxing allows a ten minute countdown, a standing eight count, and a very limited area of legal targets and weapons, the UFC allows no count at all, and the legal targets exclude only the groin, and intentional rapid breaking of the opponent's joints (like elbows, knees, neck, back, etc.) The legal weapons are fists, feet, knees, and elbows as well as chokes, holds, and grappling. In the first round, Randy Couture, a world-class wrestler, went after the takedown himself, shooting for Liddell's legs after Liddell cut him over the right eye in a straight right, followed by a left uppercut combination. Chuck Liddell started to go down momentarily, but bounced back to his feet almost before he left them. Once down, Couture's wrestling advantage could have cancelled out Liddell's heavy hands. Chuck actually took Randy down shortly before the end of the round for a little ground and pound, but the bell sounded after Chuck delivered only a few punches to Randy's left ribs. In the second round, as Couture and Liddell were faced off, Couture made one lateral fake too many and slipped for a moment, trying to cover his slip, he threw a left lunging hook, Floyd Patterson style, only to have it bounce off the back of Liddell's head. Chuck took advantage of the moment Randy left his head uncovered to punch him squarely on the chin and Randy went down. It was when Chuck followed him to the canvas that the referee intervened and ended the fight. A fter the fight Liddell said, "If you let me stand in front of you long enough, I 'll knock you out." Randy Couture had been involved in the UFC since its inception in 1993. He is forty-two years old, and announced his retirement from competition immediately a fter Liddell was formally declared the winner and still light heavyweight champion. As he left the arena, he told the press, "This is the last time you'll see these gloves." Among the other notable fights were Frank Mir's defeat in his heavyweight (over 205 lbs) return match to Marco Cruz. Devastated by a motorcycle accident that nearly cost him his leg, Frank Mir's courageous return to the ring was marked by his defeat, but Mir declared, "I can't give up." Mir will return to the Octagon better prepared next time. Light heavyweight Renato "Babalou" Sobral defeated his opponent Mike Van Arsdale a little over two minutes into the first round with a Jiu Jitsu choke hold called a "naked choke" a fter taking Van Arsdale down to the ground. Babalou has publicly announced his eagerness to fight "The Iceman," Chuck Liddell for the Light Heavyweight Title. When informed of Babalou's offer, Liddell said, "You know me, I 'll fight anybody."

There is "a way* to dress for spring 2006? Is this like the way of the samurai? Or is it more like the way of the righteous man? Call me a bastard, but the idea of a seasonal clothing trend is baffling. Apparently, there's much more t o covering up one's torso than adapting to the weather and not looking like a bum. Fine, I'll.make the decree: Seasonal clothing trends suck and ought to be banned forever because I said so, and I'm a columnist for "The Pride". Oh yes. Well, I've changed course in this week's edition of our RR (you may call it that if you want). This week features the first installment of the Campus All-Stars Profile. Campus AllStars are those CSUSM students whose contributions to our campus merit praise from the press. By the way, where have our campus representatives been the last few monthstf I'm here at least five days a week, I see more things we that have displaced (the poor bunnies) than people that we have elected. Maybe there's a terrorist threat that's forcing them to govern from a bunker below the Mangrum Track. I 'll investigate. Let me get back to the profile; I'll instant message Agent Scully in a minute. It's time to rejoice, San Marcos, because Jeremy Mills is your first Robbins Report Campus Ail-Star. Mr. Mills is the Director of Commuter Student Services for ASI's Programming Board, Vice Chair of ASI's Lobby Corp Committee, Communications Direc- tor and Treasurer of CSUSM's branch of Amnesty International, and he's the Coordinator and a founding member of ASI's Women's Center. In other words', there might be a market for a collector's card featuring Jeremy if higher education was as cool as professional baseball. I asked Jeremy to explain why he chose a lifestyle of engagement. " I'm an extremely active student on campus because I feel that it is important to be involved in my community and with political entities," Mills said. "I have had the opportunity to attend CSUSM and have benefited from all the offerings that campus life has to offer and I believe that everyone should have this same chance. This involvement is what makes the college experience rich and fulfilling for me. The events, the activism, and the involvement, whether in the Greek life, political orgs, athletics or just enjoying an event on campus, all create an atmosphere of campus ^ community pride that makes one's experience at Cal-State San Marcos a memorable one." If it pleases the court, I'd like to add my own testimony. Mr. Mills' work on campus reflects a genuine devotion towards students, and he exhibits thè sort of leadership ability that others can emulate. As a Campus All-Star, he deserves your handshake and a pleasant thank you. I invite you to write in about other students who deserve recognition for their contributions to the campus. I also think that we would benefit from a toll-free' readers' line for those interested in reporting good and "unreasonably flawed" professors. It's easy, but unfair to call everyone super because educating and being educated are super. Letter to the Dear Editor, Today my friend and I went to the dome, we usually go off campus to eat, but instead, we went to the dome. I not only found out that thè University that prides itself in environmental friendliness uses Styrofoam cups and plates, but when my friend asked if she could reuse her old Styrofoam cup to fill it up with ice, she was given a dirty look and a hesitant yes. It is evident that all over our campus we have recycle-mania posters andrecycle bins, yet when we go to the dome and buy a pizza and soda we are served in a Styrofoam cup and plate. Although this is minor compared to other Universities I feel it is necessary this issue be addressed, especially since the University takes pride in being an environmentally friendly campus. Are we-not just hypocrites by not spending a couple more cents to buy reusable plates or even paper plates? Other Universities use reusable plates, cups and utensils, yet we pride ourselves about being the #1 recycling school. Why not start to reuse these items now instead of waiting until they need to be recycled in the case of Styrofoam it is environmentally unfriendly. - We are supposed to be a model for other educational institutions, but how can we pretend to be environmental models if we are being hypocrites by using foam cups and plates? We can spend a little more money and use reusable plates, cups and utensils. What should be more embarrassing is the fact that we are surrounded by intelligent individuals, yet none are trying to change this. I hope others in this University voice their concerns so that we can truly be a model for other educational institutions and environment as a whole. Sincerely, MonicaGarcia-Velasquez Report an Oversimplified opinion Since Mr., bobbins has requested that "representatives" from Women's Studies come forth, I would like to share my experiences. Having received a bachelor's degree from CSUSM in Communication and Women's Studies, I have been a student in many Women's Studies courses. Even with such familiarity, I would never attempt to speak on behalf of an entire department. This being said, I am presenting a different take on the Women's Studies department than the opinions set forth by Robbins. In his editorial, Robbins chauvinistically shrugs off an entire department based upon the social and political opinions of an unidentified Women's Studies student. While I won't dispute the legitimacy of his source, I will say that his editorial reminds us of the importance of critical thinking. Because the opinions of Robbins' acquaintance are in opposition to his otvn, he not only suggests that the Women's Studies department is somewhat responsible for her immoral views (completely removing the personal agency and history of the woman he cites); but, he goek oif to advise that students should refrain from taking Women's Studies courses. Ironically, one issue that Women's Studies often brings attention to is how a white, male-dominated media is constantly criticizing the efforts and attitudes of women, much like the way Mr. Robbins does of his friend and the Women's Studies program. If I were to use the same logic used in Robbins' "report" (i.e., one person's opinions are reflect tive of, and caused by, the major she/he is in), I could argue that students should not read The Pride, t he logic being: The Pride employs an editorialist who intentionally taunts marginal groups to instigate confrontation (sensationalism); therefore, all of their contributors must also think and do the same. Fortunately, I don't have such a simplistic view. It is ridiculous to purport that the Women's Studies department advocates abortion or tells students that African Americans shouldn't vote Republican. Such beliefs are not departmentimposed mandates to study- ing feminism. Women's Studies classes address an array of issues concerning social inequalities in gender, race, class, and sexual identity. Women's Studies is about incorporating women's experiences into the classroom - it's more than just equal pay for equal work; it's about addressing all forms of social inequality: Of course, this is based on my experience. Maybe Robbins would agree, had he ever taken a Women's Studies class. I urge Robbins to stop marauding as the no-nonsense, "tell it as it is" editorialist, and invest time into researching the people and programs he mocks. In the meantime, he should consider changing the title of his column to "The Robbins Rant," because it certainly is not a report. A report implies a level of inquiry beyond: "I know a woman who took classes in Women' Studies, and she thinks this, so Women's Studies sucks!" With deductive skills like that, who needs higher education? Sincerely annoyed, Cecili Chadwick Some is always better than none BY PIYAMAS SABLAN Pride Staff Writer There are many individuals across campus that dread the upcoming Valentine's Day holiday. Some people even refer to it as the "Hallmark" holiday. Everyone has his or her own reasons for being bitter about love or for unleashing his or her disdain sJbout celebrating love and romance on one designated day out of the year. Some people have been the "dumper" and some have been the "dumpee." Others may have never even experienced the euphoria of being in love. Those scorned by love who choose to hibernate during the holiday or barricade themselves from the barrage of heart shaped items and red colored everything should rent "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." The movie is not a traditional love story, but the plot offers a shift of perspective to the broken hearted. The main characters* Joel and Clemen^ tine, fall in love and their relationship lasts for about two years. They break up and Joel discovers that Clementine has undergone a recently invented mind erasing procedure to obliterate all memories of Joel and their relationship. Joel is in deep emotional torment so he decides to go through the same procedure. In the middle of the procedure, Joel realizes that he would rather keep all memories of Clementine and their relationship then give up any of the good memories. I won't give away the ending of the movie, but since cloning is no longer a mad scientist's fantasy and has actually entered into the realm of reality, mind erasing might not be that far-off into the future or implausible. What if the world got so out of hand that to cure heartbreak, one only needed to go into the nearest mind erasing facility, fill out an application, pay the fee, and have the procedure? Who you are now is shaped by your life experiences. If you erase memories of those experiences, how will you learn f rom them? How will you know what mistakes not to make again and how to improve yourself in the next relationship? How will you know what you aren't willing to take from someone and how. far you're willing t o bend for someone? The, answer to these lessons can only be learned by letting life run its course. Most relationships also have good times. If you erase all memories of someone and your relationship with him or her, you're not only losing the bad memories, you're sacrificing the good. The first kiss, the butterflies, the giddiness, the anticipation of having that person call you or seeing that person again will all be gone. The English poet Alfred Lord Tennyson said it best, "'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." raiDi comics ! FMJ �Invisible Childern: A cry you can't ignore Documentary exposes present day nightmare in N orthern Uganda BY LISA LANDERS Pride Staff Writer The documentary Invisible Children was new to me. I had been told by my professors to see it due to its profound nature. They even went as far to say that some of their student's lives have changed drastically from one viewing of this documentary. At the time, I was not so impressed with those pleas, but I decided to go and view the documentaryanyways; hey, it beat being in class. The documentary viewing was held on campus last Tuesday in the ARTS Building at 6 p.m. It was held by a fetfow CSUSM student named Alisa Wells. She announced why she was here in front of us in the auditorium. She proceeded to tell everyone that she had been greatly affected by this documentary (as she proudly wore its title Invisible Children on her shirt), and that it means a great deal to her to get the word out on such a powerful piece. Was I convinced yet? No, not really. But what I was about to see has haunted me ever since ... Invisible Children tells a story that will captivate, horrify, sadden, compel and turn your world upside down. Many will leave in shock that this type of behavior is still going on, and the horrifying thing is that most of us did not know until this documentary's viewing. However, as drastic as this may seem, it is worth an hour of your time. The story begins when three friends from the United States going to Africa in search of a story worth documenting. These three guys Jason Russell (26), Bobby Bailey (22), and Laren Poole (21) are actually from our neighboring city San Diego. They looked at this opportunity as an adventure. T l^y were amateurs in every sense of the word. These young adults had no idea or direction when they set out for Africa when the rest of the world at this time was advised not to travel. They hoped to open their lense wide and capture any story. After the comical intro of them trying to slay an African snake, the story drops into a far more serious subject. The boys unlock the terrible truth about what happens to children in Northern Uganda. They stumbled upon a reality that can make anyone sick to his or her stomach. They encountered a horrific genocide mom terrible than the holo- caust happening to young children between the ages of five and twelve in present day. They found that children were leaving their home villages to sleep in clusters in back alleys and basements in the thick of town because it is safer than sleeping in their home. These children live in fear of the brutal recruitment tactics of the Rebel Army which has been in war fighting for twenty years to overthrow the government. The Rebel Army has resorted to abducting children from their homes, holding them in camps and training them to kill. Theses children as young asfiveyears old are being killed, brainwashed, beat on and made to fight as child soldiers. The documentary exposes this present day nightmare and asks three things of the viewer in its opening. One, to expose the war to as many people as possible. Two, to empower viewers. And third, to provide aid in hopes to create a safe environment where orphans and children can live in peace. After viewing this piece you will want to do all of the above. Overall, this is not just an informative documentary, but a cry for help. "It is not only break- ing new ground but it has a bigger impact on my life than any other document that I've seen," said Jon Turteltaub, Director for the National Treasure. It is truly a kept secret that will inspire you in every scene. To find out more information on Invisible Children or to help, go to this website: www.invisiblechildren.com.

Yet don't cut yourself short by thinking that the only good black and tan out there is Guinness and Bass. While that's a mixture that can never really be surpassed, there are others that should definitely be tried and tasted. Mississippi Mud is one beer you've probably seen and walked by before but never tried. Bottled in quart sized, moonshine jug styled bottles, Mud's unique packaging is sure to catch your eye, along with the alligator emblazoned across its front. While brewed in upstate New York, far from the Mississippi River, Mississippi Mud is one beer that stays true to its name. A mixture of dark ale and lager, Mud is a heavy beer best served by itself or with a hearty meal. Although the packaging refers to the brews used in Mud as pilsner and stout, it is most definitely a lager flavor that comes through strongest in Mississippi Mud. This black and tan is dark amber color with a heavy lager odor, yet does not taste nearly as strong as one would expect. The flavor, like the odor, leans towards the lager in the mix, with a taste slightly reminiscent of caramel and roasted barley or malt. There is little taste of bitterness, and the beer itself is light in texture, despite its general heavier odor and feeling. The lighter amber-colored lager used in Mississippi Mud can also be bought separately in a similarly styled bottle, featuring mallards on the front. Although not as common in stores as the black and tan, the slow-brewed American style lager is also worth a taste if you can find it. Mississippi Mud can readily be found at such stores as Trader Joes, Beverages and More, and elsewhere. So give this American style black and tan a try, as two quality beers meet, as the back of the jug puts it, "in Mississippi Mud." Photo by Matt Schramm / The Pride 'Memoirs of a Geisha': Controversy? 'A movie about Japanese played by Chinese, written by whites' BY ALFRED CHU Special to The Pride The New York Times reported on February 1 that the film "Memoirs of a Geisha" will be officially banned in China. The film sparked controversy and outrage when Chinese actresses Ziyi Zhang, Gong Li and Malaysian actress Michelle Yeoh were cast as Japanese prostitutes during World War II when the Japanese committed numerous war crimes against the Chinese. The film is about a woman growing up in poor conditions and rising to become one of Japan's most distinguished geishas. Movie studio bosses were displeased with the decision reached in China as it denied their attempt to make a few more dollars abroad. III!! «¡(Èli COMPENSATION I NSURANCE ORK WITH STATE FUND Ä ND GET WORE OUT OF W ORK. "Memoirs of a Geisha," labeled as "a movie about Japanese played by Chinese, written by whites," was first delayed, then forced to be censored for a sex scene, delayed once again, and now banned. For whatever reasons the Chinese government banned this film, it doesn't surpass the obvious reason for the studio's decision in casting: money. Ziyi Zhang and Michelle Yeoh broke into Hollywood with 1999's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." That film became the first foreign film to gross over $100 million domestically and first foreign film to receive the most Oscar nominations, totaling ten and winning four. Li received her spotlight in 1991's "Raise the Red Lantern." From this star power, Zhang, Li and Yeoh, along with their talent, are able to attract audiences here and abroad. The entire intent of any film, regardless of its artistic content, is to make money. You can voice your opinion in pursuit of a j ust cause, so simply realize this is the reality we live in, and the nature of the business. I 'm not suggesting there aren't Japanese actresses that would or can equal Zhang's, Yeoh's and Li's stature and talent, I'm merely suggesting if there were, the studio would've cast them long ago. I doubt the studio purposely cast Chinese and Malaysian actresses in Japanese roles simply to upset audiences. What financial benefits would they stand to gain if that were the case? My confusion and questions ri§e when people are so concerned about political and ethnical correctness about a period piece: what about the fact that a Caucasian (Rob Marshall) is sitting in the director's chair? What about the author (Arthur Golden) of the novel, who is Caucasian? And most of all, do people find the entire dialog in English in a Japanese period piece upsetting? This isn't a rarity in Hollywood. We've seen many Caucasian actors and actresses play respective roles in which the nationality was different f rom their own. For example, Colin Farrell, of Irish descent, played an Englishman Captain John Smith in "The New World" or even a Macedonian/ Greek in "Alexander." Respect the studio and filmmakers' courage to f und and promote a mainstream Hollywood film with an all Asian cast. Now that's a rarity in Hollywood.

XIII NO. 5 Advising nroblems at CSUSM Students face difficulties getting advising services BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Staff Writer Jason Edwin Williams was at the height of his school and athletic career when he was arrested by CSUSM police on October 20, 2004 following a traffic stop that occurred on campus. The 22year-old junior communication major had earned a 3.0 grade point average the previous semester and was running the 400meter hurdles for CSUSM on a scholarship, boasting times that placed him within the top 25 of all Division I and Division II colleges for that event. Following the October 20 In an effort to aid frustrated students, the CSUSM History Department, under the direction of Dr. Patricia Seleski, has recently contacted Advising Services in hopes of regaining some control over major advising. The decision came after numerous complaints to the History Department and instructors from students over the inability of Advising Services to meet their needs. Although history professors have attempted to deal with the individual advising needs of its students in the past, a more concentrated effort is now underway to deal with the issue. Student problems with advising have been especially rife with history majors, probably because of the major's special requirements such as themes and portfolios. The most common complaints that history professors have received from students is the lack of advising availability. For example, history major Claudia Hernandez See WILLIAMS, page 2 See ADVISING, page 3 Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride David Halttunen (left) and Daniel Vareal (right) await assistance at Advising Services.

The charges have since been reduced to an infraction of having an open container of alcohol in his vehicle and misdemeanor possession of a knife on a college campus, which in total carry a possible sentence of up to a year in jail and a substantial fine. Williams said that the traffic stop was unwarranted as well as the subsequent search of his vehicle. He also said was he was treated inappropriately by officers. Williams filed a formal complaint against the officers involved in the stop, CSUSM Police Officers Bronson, Pike, Sainz and Panza. An independent investigation conducted following the complaint concluded on February 1 that, "the officers involved in this case acted within the policies and procedures established for the CSUSM police department," and made numerous recommendations for change within the department. "I did nothing wrong," said Williams when asked if he felt he was unfairly targeted by police. Williams said that despite the embarrassment of going public with his arrest it was, "the risk I had to take to let people know." Williams said that he was unfairly targeted by police due to his race. He said he felt compelled*^ tell his story because he wanted others to "know how things are in the world." Williams talked about the details of his arrest and subsequent impact it had on his everyday life. THE pride "While I was in jail I g0t jumped for pissing in the wrong urinal," said Williams. He talked about how he was attacked in jail several times and was put in the same cells with murderers. A fter his time in police custody, Williams said he had problems sleeping and studying, and as a result his grades suffered. He said he was asked to quit the track team following what he described as 'racial separation' amongst team members. Williams said he quit the team to avoid further conflict. "Basically, if this whole thing had never happened, I would be winning titles right now," said Williams. He said his legal worries are constantly on his mind due to the fact he cannot afford a private attorney. Williams also worries how he will pay for tuition and other expenses next semester now that he no longer has his track scholarship. Despite the legal and financial setbacks as a result of his arrest and pending trial, Williams still aspires to be an educator. He also is currently in a local rap group Elm Street. "I am trying not to let things like this get me down," said Williams. When asked what he wanted the readers to know Williams said, "In this society people are so quick to judge others on the way they look, talk, and dress, never seeking to find the truth inside. We are in college. This is where we learn about new cultures, new people and new ways of thinking. For once let's begin judging individuals for who they are and what they stand for, because no matter what religion or belief you have you eventually will be judged for how you treated others." fplHlOlfe $ 150 Q UEEN P ILLOW-TOP M attress set.

For six weeks, Hernandez was unable to reserve a space due to the huge flood of requests that barraged Web Scheduler every Monday morning when it opened. When emailing Advising Services directly did nothing to resolve the problem, Hernandez turned to one of her history professors for advisement. A number of frustrated history majors have similarly fallen back on their teachers for advisement assistance. Many of the advising problems that have been frustrating students lately have their root in thefinancialcutbacks that recently affected CSUSM. Aside from having funding for both advisors and staff slashed, Advising Services also underwent a number of structural changes that included gaining advisement aspects that had previously been regulated to professors. At the same time there has been a continual influx of students to the campus, all of who need advisement, only adding to the woes of Advising Services. In other words, Advising Services has become smaller while taking on more responsibilities. Despite the immediate problems, both the history and advising departments stress that they look forward to working together to better serve student needs. The department was "really decimated" by the loss of funds, but has been "trying to be really creative to meet the challenges" said advising director Andres Favela. Looking towards the future, Favela's department is attempting to imple- ment a recovery plan to help counter the hits it took from the financial cutbacks including experimenting with group advising sessions and walk-in appointments which the department implemented temporarily last fall. Advising Services is aware of the disputes students are having and see the recent decision by the History Department as a good development which will hopefully relieve some of the problems for students. In the meantime Favela advises students to be proactive when it comes to seeking advisement, a sentiment echo by the history department. Yet despite its efforts, many students still feel ignored by Advising Services. History major, Theresa Francis has been proactive in her attempts to work with Advising Services yet has continually run up against a brick wall. In September 2004, Francis submitted her form for grad check only to get it back with the incorrect history themes listed. Despite numerous attempts to contact Advising Services and remedy thè problem, Francis has been unable to correct the situation, and has had difficulties in getting Advising Services to respond. The relief of problems with grad checks is one of the major issues the History Department will be tackling immediately. "Advisement is almost as important as instruction," notes history professor Dr. Jill Watts, who echoes Advising Services complaint that financial cutbacks and structural issues have hampered advisement. Students need the "whole educational package" said Watts, a thought that many teachers and students hope will be met with future cooperation between the two departments.

Many students on campus are reluctant to eat at the generic eateries in the Dome for a variety of reasons. "Sometimes I get sick off of the food on campus, and it's not the best quality we could have," said student Jackie Espinoza. "There's not a lot to choose from," said student Marco Garcia. Yet many students are unaware that Cal State San Marcos could not bring permanent franchises on our campus due to the low student population. "Most franchises require a student head count of at least 10,000 to even consider setting up on a college campus, and Cal State San Marcos is only around 7,500," said Pam Edmonson, director of Commercial Services for the Cal State San Marcos Foundation. "We didn't meet the criteria of outside operators." It seemed like there would never come a time when outside restaurant franchises would come to fruition at Cal State San Marcos. That was until Starbucks arrived on campus. The Starbucks in Kellogg Library was the first stepping stone for other vendors. "Bringing Starbucks on our campus was not easy," said Edmonson, "a lot of negotiation and persuasion went back and forth between Starbucks Company and the Foundation." The Starbucks across the street at the Campus Marketplace shopping center had to give their okay for the Starbucks on campus before it could be completed. The final agreement put the CSUSM Foundation in control of Starbucks making it a licensed store that pays a portion of proceeds back to Starbucks. Edmonson feels this is the best way to bring outside franchises onto campus because the control would be in the hands of the University and not the company. She said that giving the university control over franchises on campus is more beneficial to students who need part time jobs because they IIb ^^P HHP i p f l i1 Magazine Is now accepting èuliÉissions Photo by Chezare Milo / The Pride Starbucks was the first famous franchise on campus. can apply for employment at the franchises directly through the CSUSM Foundation. Now that other businesses are looking at Cal State San Marcos as a place to make money, Edmonson has begun speaking with Subway and Smoothie King in the Campus Marketplace. Both franchises are in the process of working an agreement with the CSUSM Foundation to test how their products would fair on our campus.

Changes may not happen right away, but Edmonson and the CSUSM Foundation are working on them. According to Edmonson, there will be a small space reserved in the new business building for food service but no decision as to what kind of food service has been made.

The pros & cons of shelling out big bucks for music at your fingertips BY JULIE OXFORD Pride Staff Writer The Apple iPod is filling the ears and pockets of consumers everywhere. It is rare to walk around this campus without seeing the signature white earbuds donned by students who just can't live without their music. When asked about her iPod CSUSM student Lindsay Waiters said, "I am a total proponent. I have nothing but good things to say about it." So what is it and why is it so coveted? The Apple iPod has gone through seven different designs (including the iPod mini, the iPod shuffle, and the iPod photo.) The current design, the fourth generation iPod, has two models. One has 20GB, holds up to 5,000 songs and retails at $299; the other has 40GB, holds up to 10,000 songs and retails at $399. There __.«.— is an educational discount available which decreases the prices to $269 and $369. One of the favorite options on the iPod is the shuffle feature, which allows you to shuffle through entire albums or individual songs. By opting to shuffle through individual songs you can have the equivalent of T ^"""™"^™"" your own radio station, without having to hear that annoying song 18 times a day, and without commercials. The 20GB model could play continuously for 13 days without repeating one song. Another favorite feature is the On-theGo playlist. This feature allows you to pick favorite songs, as many as you'd like, and put them on a playlist. This can be done on the iPod itself, without using a computer. You can make multiple playlists and each one is saved individually. It's like making a mixed tape or cd, in less than two minutes. You can also use the iPod as a backup hard drive, as an organizer (it includes contacts, calendars and to-do lists), as a voice recorder (by purchasing the Griffin iTalk voice recorder), or as portable storage for your digital photos (by purchasing either the Belkin digital camera link or media reader.) A fully charged iPod battery can last up to 12 hours. Other options for power include a car adapter, an a/c adapter, and the Belkin AA battery pack, for those times when there are no plugs. The iPod can be played through your car or home stereo using a tape adapter or the Griffin iTrip. The iTrip transmits your music through a station on your FM dial. It has gotten mixed reviews though, with complaints of music cutting in and out, a beeping noise when there is no signal, and occasional distortion or interference. When you first get your iPod the initial transferring of music will take some time. First, your music has to be put on your computer. When you do this you have to input the information for each album (artist, song, and album titles) through your itunes folder. This could take several days, weeks, or even months. Then once all of your music is on your computer you plug in your iPod and all the files transfer over. Xhis can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours, depending on how many songs are being transferred. The reason why everyone wants it: the iPod allows you to have all of your music with you at all times. The days of picking out cd's to put in your car changer or your cd case are gone. Lindsay Watters said, "I can go anywhere with it, traveling is so much easier now." So what happens if it breaks? Unfortunately iPods have been known to simply stop working. Sometimes the unit may get stuck on one song, or the unit will turn off and not turn back on. There are directions and a tutorial on troubleshooting for your iPod at apple, com/support/ipod/. Often the unit simply needs to be reset. But sometimes there is Less than a month later my replacement made a couple of funny noises...

The entire process is very quick. It only Most of us, however, don't want a refurbished product. We paid $300+ for a new, and functioning, iPod and that is what we want. But according to the representatives from customer relations there is no way to guarantee that you will receive a new iPod in place of a defective one. I own a third generation iPod. One day it started making funny noises. Then it would turn off suddenly. Then it stopped working all together. I filled out the repair form online and promptly received my replacement. Less than a month later my replacement made a couple of funny noises. Then it turned off and froze. It would not turn back on or respond in any way. I was not happy. I called AppleCare Support to find out how they could help me. I talked to four different people and asked them all the same question, 'how do I get a new iPod or a refund'. I got the same answer from all of them, there is no way to guarantee that your broken iPod will be replaced with a new iPod, and you cannot get a refund. This made no sense to me because when I received the replacement it included a letter in which Apple claimed to be, ".. .committed to (my) total satisfaction." I was definitely not satisfied. I wanted a new iPod or I wanted my money back. But there was no talking to See IPOD, page 6 �IPOD, from page 5 Language requirement: waste of time or essential part of a college education? retention as "hardly any."

After making a loose reference to the. number of studies that show languages are best taught at the elementary level, Mr. Igaskai agreed with the findings, yet added "It's great, but that's not the way it is (in the US)...that doesn't mean we should just have no program at the university level." As to why California still fails to act on these studies, he said, "Funding, lack of commitment on the part of administrators, on the part of politicians." Though hard pressed to form a speculation on the reason behind these shortcomings, he imagined there would be more work for foreign language teachers should they catch up. And if the minimum foreign language proficiency was dropped as a graduation requirement? "Attendance probably wouldn't be as high in those lower classes, but then we could add more at the upper divisions."

I had already been transferred four times, and I was late for school. So I finally gave up. I got online tofillout the repair form, again, and I was prompted to enter a credit card number to pay for shipping fees. This was the last straw. I was not going to pay to send back my defective iPod. I called back to Apple Customer Relations to solve the problem. What I got was a customer representative who could not complete a sentence and had me on the phone for nearly an hour before he transferred me to someone who was, I'm guessing, his superior. This man said that the only way to avoid having to pay shipping was to pick up my replacement at the retail store in La Jolla. So I did. • * I am now on my third iPod, and I am nervous that this will not be my last. There is no way of telling if it is new or refurbished. I am simply hoping that this one does not break after my warranty is expired. If it does I could get it replaced for $249 plus $6.95 shipping and handling. That is, I could pay more than $250 for a refurbished iPod. It is very unlikely that I will buy anything from Apple again.

But we don't. And it can't. When the time comes for my generation to collect on its S ocial Security, the program will most likely be bankrupt. Proof of this is in how the retirement age slowly continues to get older and older. It's because the government can't afford to pay everyone right now. How ironic since it seems that the younger generations are working more and therefore putting in quite a bit of money into this system, yet probably won't see that money later when they'll need it. If the government were to pay everyone what they deserved at that point, who knows what kind of programs would need to be cut because of the level of bankruptcy we would be in. According to Social Security Trustees, as posted on www.whitehouse.gov, if nothing was to be done and we left the system as it is, it will cost future generations $10.4 trillion. Then, by 2042, when individuals in their mid-twenties now will be beginning to retire, the system will be bankrupt. That's a scary thought for me because I pay taxes and I most certainly pay into Social Security, yet I won't be seeing any of it.

I'm still in my house today because my husband received SSDI while he was sick and dying, and private disability insurance would take a pretty big chunk out of any private investment money that refunding my Social Security payments would bring. Bush is proposing a lot of safeguards so that even an inept investor would come out rich—like not being able to take the money out for anything but retirement (sorry, you'll have to find another way to buy that Mercedes), and moving the money to safer investments at age forty-seven—but there would always be the possibility that some scumbag, Enron-type swindler would come along and take your money, leaving the government (read "other taxpayers") to keep you off the street.

Speeding through the Sunday evening congestion on the Orange County stretch of Interstate 5 and opening it up to a constant 90 to 100 mph once the traffic broke in Los Angeles could not overcome a miscommunication about the scheduled time of the show (9:15, not 11:00 p.m.). The Troubadour show was the second show of weekend; fortunately, I had caught the debut show of the band two nights earlier at the Galaxy Concert Theatre in Santa Ana. Duane Peters of the U.S. E^ombs and Die Hunns has been a punk rock staple for many years on the true underground scene. The Gunfight represents a fusion of Peters' punk influence mixed with straight up rock n' roll. Peters recruited the talent of four established musicians for The Gunfight.

It is rare for a band these days, especially a punk band, to employ this type of musical front. Most bands have a one or two guitar front, which has become a somewhat industry standard. There was a time, however, when the three guitar front was prominent (particularly, in my mind, with the stadium bands of the '70s). The rhythm kept by Trejo and Moras provides a solid foundation for the band. One can move to the beat, the pit was going pretty strong on the parquet dance floor of the Galaxy, but keep your arms up and eyes open or you might find yourself bowled over fairly quickly. The Duane Peters' Gunfight is about to go on tour with The Weirdos. Upcoming dates include two stops in North County. The first show is in San Marcos on Friday, February 25 at the Longshot Saloon. The band is playing the following night, February 26, at the Hellfire House in Vista. Contact those venues for ticket information and age restrictions.

BY CHRISTINE BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer Every Thursday night at eight o'clock I turn the phone off, get into my jammies, and get comfortable on the couch to watch "The O.C." There, I said it. I will admit that I am a fan of "The O.C." I love this high school drama show that makes light of sex and substance abuse. This season unfolded more drama with Marissa's tantrums Image courtesy of FOX Network South Park and rebellious behavior. Many new characters have emerged, such as Caleb's bastard daughter Lindsay; Alex the rebel with purple streaks in her hair; Summer's new beau Zach (who is oddly similar to Seth...except Zach is way cuter) and Sandy's old flame has come to the O.C. Even with all of the makings of a hit series, I often ask myself how I got hooked on such an asinine show. The plot is formulaic (except Marissa turning lesbian.. .didn't see that one coming), the acting is horrendous (Marissa's awkward scenes with hottie newcomer Alex) and the costumes (if you could call them that) are totally sexist. I can scarcely recall Marissa or Summer wearing anything that covered up their fantastic cleavage. Yet, week after week I am drawn to "The O.C." Maybe it's the bad acting, or maybe it's the suspense that keeps me coming back for more. Whatever the reason, I actually feel my I.Q. dropping a notch or two after each episode, and at this rate, I'll never get into Mensa. Who cares, "The O.C." is way cooler. Adult Swim Image courtesy of Comedy Central BY CHEZARE MILO Pride StaffWriter My guilty pleasure is South Park; I drop whatever I'm doing and make time to watch each new episode. Full of racist epithets, foul language, and poor taste, South Park is the ultimate parody of American life; every episode is so wrong that I have to laugh out loud. My guilt stems from the fact that unquestioning individuals, and/or children, will see Kenny's recurring bloody dismemberment and Mr. Love is in the Heir BY JOELLE M. FRANKEL Pride Staff Writer Image courtesy of E! Entertainment Television Slave's sexual antics in the classroom as appropriate behavior rather than outrageous. The only way I can justify supporting the show through my ritual viewing is that the antics of Cartman, Stan, Kyle, and Kenny are not only entertaining, but bring important social issues to light. Parody is unique in its ability to make people see the absurdities that are occurring around us all the time, and perhaps consider other views before automatically holding on to learned societal norms. Mr. Hanky the Christmas poo serves an important societal role .yeah right! Dare I admit my addictive obsession with E's reality TV show "Love is in the Heir?" Sad but true, each week I eagerly tune in to find out about the exciting and amusing life of Ann Claire; a London princess turned country singer/songwriter in Los Angeles. Her painstakingly terrible musical performances, dramatic exchanges with her unqualified personal assistant, and her dating disasters keep me coming back for more. Despite the fact that she is the only person in her family without an English accent, that she claims to fear getting cut off from her parents even though she has her own TV show, and the atrociously poor acting that is exhibited by both her personal assistant and her personal trainer/boyfriend, I somehow manage to convince myself week after week that the show is real. After watching this program religiously for an entire season I find myself listless, wondering if and when it will once again reappear on television. Thus far there has been no mention of any plans for further episodes on the E! Network or on their website. For now I will sit on my couch, remote in hand, distraught look on my sad, sad face and long for the day that "Love is in the Heir" returns to my TV screen. Overly dramatic you say? Watch the show once and you will be hooked—I'm currently researching treatment programs to rid me of this misery. Image courtesy of Cartoon Network • _ BY ZACHARY J. SIMON Pride Staff Writer It began, as so many of the few remaining worthwhile ventures, in the early 90s, with a handful of geeks in Atlanta re-dubbing old Hanna Barberra Sixties Saturday Sci-fi into a talk show that ranged from silly to surreal. Long too obscure to be shameful, its appeal to the intoxicated/antisocial, now horrifyingly united by A1 Gore's failure and media's greatest Ziggurat, at last birthed a Satan of animation to rival any demon in the Spike & Mike Goetia. "Adult Swim" is not only the best excuse to get cable; it is the best reason to own a television. Originally confined to Sunday's late night, it is now proof positive that the Cartoon Network is not, was never,, 'just for kids.' This is the kind of funny that keeps your mouth agape in lobotomy-awe for a good five minutes before one of two reactions: an unnerved notion that TV is finally spitting in your face, or laughter that leaves you even wetter. Some of the shows are/were better than others, but give them all a wade, a stroke, a dive. "Adult Swim's" DVD collections might be available for rent, but buy them, in public, and share in my ecstatic shame. Strange Love BY ADIA BESS Pride Staff Writer If you've never seen "Strange Love" then you're missing one of the oddest shows of all times. A spin-off of last season's "Surreal Life," VH1 decided to take up where that show left off, focusing on the love and drama of rapper Flavor Flav and actress Brigitte Nielsen. Just looking at the two of them is enough to qualify as strange, but it's their quirky personalities that make this show a winner. But there's a twist: Brigitte is engaged to be married to a man who couldn't be a more opposite to Flavor, so he's on a mission to win her back. Brigitte walks around in her black netted lingerie bodysuit half the time, and Flavor (or "Fluffy-Fluffy" as Brigitte calls him) looks like a little kid with a Viking helmet on his head. Am I embarrassed to say I watch this show? Hell no! It's got all the right elements; love, scandal, beautiful scenery (Italy), and characters with great personalities. Watching an Amazon woman and a little man from completely different cultures taking the romance back to high school level is beyond entertaining. In fact, it's the best escape I've found from my real world. Reality TV just doesn't get any better than this!

Days before the protests and riots started, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak effectively shut off the Internet to the entire country, the rationale being, "Kill the Internet, kill the dissent." While, ultimately, the shutdown of the Internet failed to suppress the protesters, it did spark some new controversy in the U.S. Senator Susan Collins, the ranking Republican of the homeland security and Governmental Affairs committee, first introduced an Internet "kill switch" bill in December of last year. "The bill is designed to protect against 'significant' cyber threats before they cause damage," Collins said. Much of the popular news surrounding this "kiil switch" bill suggests that the president will be given the power to entirely shut off the Internet in the U.S. The true objective of the bill, while not as Orwellian as initially believed, still gives a large amount of power to the president. The bill, if passed, will give President Barack Obama, or any president hereafter, the power to "demand turning off access to so-called 'critical infrastructure' where necessary." Many of the supporters of the bill are coming under flak for previous comments decrying Egypt's misuse of power when shutting off the Internet. With the reintroduction of the "kill switch" bill, Senator Joe Lieberman has also shown his support through a statement released earlier in the week. "We would never sign on to legislation that authorized the president, or anyone else, to shut down the Internet. Emergency or not, the exercise of such broad authority would be an affront to our Constitution," Liberman said. The statement failed to cover the fact that a provision in the bill will forbid the courts from reviewing any decision by the president to shut off the Internet. While there is indeed cause for concern, the bill has many hurdles to jump before becoming law. With the reemergence of the bill, many civil liberty groups have publicly spoken out against the proposed legislation. Wired has reported "About two dozen groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, the American Library Association, Electronic Frontier Foundation and Center for Democracy and Technology were skeptical enough to file an open letter opposing the idea."

Cheers and applause exploded among the streets of Cairo as thousands listened to the one-minute announcement televised on state television by Vice President Omar Suleiman confirming the resignation of Mubarak. He also announced that Supreme Council of the Armed Forces will "run the affairs of the country," proceeding the resignation of Mubarak. Chants such as "God is great" and "Egypt is free" echoed the streets of Cairo, while others cheered and waved the coutry's flag as the people of Egypt finally reached a moment long awaited throughout the uprising. As Egypt continues its struggle to achieve democracy, it is known that in order for the country to become stable, it must work on improving many of the country's democratic institutions. For now, with the help of the military, people in Egypt will remain safe as the country strives to rebuild itself and its government. Top: Egyptian protesters stand atop tank.

On Nov. 4, 2010, students thought that California State University San Marcos was going to be added to that infamous list after the emergency response system was sounded and the campus was swarming with policemen in just minutes. With a lockdown in effect and students unaware of what was happening, all judgments were made based on rumors floating around different social media sites. Ending up just being a class play that a student oversaw and perceived as a threat, the CSUSM campus got to see first hand what happens when the emergency response protocol takes effect. "Students must always recognize the emergency system and react as if it is a real emergency every time, no exceptions," Bruce Bradley ¡said, occupational safety and environmental health specialist for CSUSM. Bradley recommends all students be prepared for any possible threat on campus and follow all directions provided by faculty and emergency personnel. He stated that "it is very important for people to develop two mindsets in these days of "unthinkable potential" events; get prepared and stay prepared and always think you will survive no matter the circumstances, being tough mentally is as important as being physically fit to be able to perform well in emergencies." When asked about his reaction to learning that the campus threat was false, Bradley responded, "At first I was thankful that no one was hurt, followed by, what were they thinking, endangering people witîf a clear knowledge of the potential consequences is juvenile thinking." Since that incident, there have been three additional situations where fake or simulated firearms have been brought onto our cam- pus . While none of the other three incidents resulted in a full scale response, all such incidents have the potential to endanger our campus community stated a recent press release from the campus Office of Commumication. "Bringing a weapon, even a toy weapon, to campus is a violation of university policy.

The iPad's release anniversary is only two months away, and within the past year a slew of devices have challenged its popularity. The Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Dell Streak are currently the iPad's biggest threats. Though these devices are all tablet computers, they each have distinct features that can mean the difference between a purchase or a pass. The operating system is the most obvious difference in these devices. The iPad, starting at $499, currently runs on Apple's iOS 4.2.1 on AT&T and Verizon's 3G network. Apple's iPhone arid iPod Touch also run on this same operating system (which can be a positive or negative aspect depending on your own experiences). Both the Samsung Galaxy Tab, starting at $549 and the Dell Streak, moderately priced around $200, run on the Android operating system version 2.2 called Froyo. The Galaxy Tab is available on all carriers that offer 3G coverage. The Streak is only available through AT&T's 3G network. Consumers who already have Android phones or iPhones might choose their devices based on the operating systems or networks they are already familiar with. The iPad utilizes Apple's popular App Store to bring users the largest library of applications to date. However, the Android Market's growing fan base has given Apple stiff competition. While proponents of Apple and Android have their disagreements regarding which store is better, a number of the most popular apps can be found in both the Android Market and the App Store. The Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Dell Streak were designed for portability. The Samsung features a seven-inch display and the Dell features a five-inch display. The displays of both devices are in widescreen, a component ideal for watching movies. The iPad's display is a whopping 9.7 inches with a standard 4:3 aspect ratio. When choosing the right device, size does matter. Though bigger does not always mean better. The Streak can be a handy tablet that fits in most any purse or large pocket, whereas the iPad can serve as a light laptop replacement suitable for backpack storage. Each device has attractive features to set it apart from the other two. According to endgadget. com, the Streak is the only one of the three with the ability to make phone calls and send texts, allowing it to serve as a 1" no matter what you want, you c an make your mix with I 14 daily flavors and 50+ toppings! phone replacement. The Galaxy Tab and the Streak have front facing cameras, giving them videochatting capabilities. Both the Samsung and the Dell feature cameras while the current iPad model does not. However, the iPad does have three different models with varying storage sizes; the largest is 64 gigabytes. The Samsung has a 16 gigabyte model and 32 gigabyte model with a microSD slot allowing for more memory. The Dell has only one 2 gigabyte model with a microSD slot.

According to biography.com, the origins of the prideful observance began in the 1920s with the determination of Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the second black student at Harvard University, and with the fraternity Omega Psi Phi's creation of Negro History and Literature Week. Woodson chose the month of February to celebrate black history in recognition of Abraham Lincoln, who was born on Feb. 12 and issued the Emancipation Proclamation, also to acknowledge the abolitionist Frederick Douglass whose birthday falls on Feb. 14. Leaders in black history, such as the influential civil rights movement icon Martin Luther King Jr., influential civil rights icon; Barack Obama, the first African-American U.S. president, and Jtsse Owens, the talented track star have achieved worldwide recognition for their accomplishments. However, Black History Month is more than just Photo courtesy ofmlkonline.net a reserved time to reflect on past achievements. The observance focuses on celebration, encouraging African-American historical research and garnering inspiration for culture's future. Popular media celebrates Black History Month nationwide. The entertainment television channel MTV provides coverage and stories of AfricanAmerican musicians and icons, such as Rosa Parks, throughout the month of February. Black ican Faculty and Staff Association (AAFSA) hosts various events to honor Black History Month. The association holds a Black History Trivia contest, in which winners respond to questions throughout February via email and have the opportunity to win gift cards. More information is on the CSUSM website under "News and Events." Both active participation with on and off-campus organizations and indulgence in learning about Black History Month on television and on the Internet allows for an appreciation of history and accomplishments. Many movements, rights and entertainment have changed lives and the course of American history, so Black History Month shouldn't be overlooked. As time passes, more AfricanAmericans and their talents add to the long list of historically significant events, but as for 2011, those who celebrate black history must embrace the past and present, and express hope for a Entertainment Television, better known as BET, offers online bright future for African-Amerarticles, video and interviews icans and their contributions. highlighting significant AfricanAmerican figures in both entertainment and other mediums.

"Promoting safe sex is a positive thing," Ethan Boyer, a junior, commented Thursday after learning it was National Condom Day. "It's good to educate [students] on their sexual health," human development major Celeste Tenchavez said Thursday after visiting the event. Each semester, student tuition includes a mandatory $70 Students »faculty and staff gathered in Library Plaza on Thursday afternoon to play games with names like "Guess the Lubes "Name that STD" and "How to put on a Condom." Laughter and tongue-in-cheek humor replaced embarrassing or uncomfortable subject matter as Student Health and Counseling Services sponsored the National Condom Day and Safer Sex Fair on Feb. 10, which ran from 10:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. Student Health and Counseling Services (SHCS) invited a variety of organizations to participate in the event, and more than a dozen tables displayed informational pamphlets, sexual enhancement aids, magazines, brochures, and condoms. There were colorful condoms of many sizes and shapes; there were flavored condoms and even some that were contorted into artwork. National Condom Day is a part of the American Social Health Association's (ASHA) recognition of February as National Condom Month—emphasizing the importance of condom use in reducing transmission risks of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). According to the ASHA, there are approximately 19 million new M K H H B H I B H health services fee. This fee entitles all regularly enrolled students, part-time or full-time, to health services provided through SHCS: clinic visits, counseling services, flu shots and other vaccines, women's health exams and more. Tuition also includes a $25 health facilities fee that pays for rent and maintenance of the SHCS clinic at PPH, located across the street from campus at 120 Craven Road, Suite 100. Students may consult with a doctor, ijurse practitioner, nurse, counselor, or the health educator. Visits to the clinic or counselor require no co-payment. Minimal fees are charged for psychiatric services, certain physical exams, laboratory or radiology tests, and prescriptions. According to their website, SHCS "strivefs] to promote services and health education designed to prevent and resolve health problems that may interfere with student retention and success." With that goal in mind, SHCS sponsors events each semester. Coming up on Feb. 22 at noon in Mark 102 is Ask the SEXperts, the first in a series of informational sessions on sexual health issues. Guest speakers will give the curious but shy an opportunity to ask ques-, tions in complete anonymity. Cathy Nguyen said she enjoys working in a "nontraditional environment" as Health Educator for SHCS. One of the reasons SHCS offers their services to students is because it is important for students to have access to free medical care, Nguyen said. "This is my passion," she added. Nguyen's job title describes her duty to educate students about health issues and healthy lifestyle choices, but the job itself encompasses a wide range of tasks from organizing events to helping students with class projects. Nguyen's office is located in the Hope and Wellness Center at 120 Craven Road, Suite 108, next door to the SHCS clinic. Students can schedule an appointment for SHCS services by calling 760-750-4915 Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. - 4:45 p.m. For more information, visit the SHCS website at csusm. e du/shcs/index.html.

This time the circus came to the artificial turf of a football field, on the campus of a local high school. Several dozen media members and guests from around the country converged on Cathedral Catholic High School in Del Mar, gathering to watch Cam Newton throw a football. Newton, this year's NCAA football Heisman Trophy winner—the best player in college football— came to San Diego in January to work with local quarterback coach George Whitfield, Jr. Whitfield prepares young quarterbacks for the college game, traveling with them to major colleges around the country making connections with coaches and scouts. This fall, when NFL quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was cames trophv ra räum Vinnen suspended for thefirstfour games of the season, he chose Whitfield to help Jrim stay in game shape. Newton needed Whitfield to help him transition from the college "spread" offense to the style of the National Football League. Warren Moon, hall of fame quarterback and mentor to Newton, said on Thursday that he had directed Cam's father Cecil Newton to Whitfield. Before college, Cecil had supposedly peddled Cam to play for Mississippi State University in exchange for $200,000. The NCAA decided Cam had not known about it. The son went unpunished, and Cecil agreed not to attend the national championship game. After Cam led his Auburn Tigers to victory, Cecil was photographed embracing his son. A representative of the family said he had watched the game outside the stadium. Fast forward to Thursday morning: the event was meant to mimic Whitfield's normal workouts with Cam, meant to prove that the kid could play professionally. After over a hundred of holds us toting cameras, notebooks and voice recordersfiledonto the field, Newton played parts of a pretend game of football with twelve young men his age, all from Southwestern* College in Chula Vista. Whitfield calmly directed Cam as he tossed them passes, avoided their half-hearted rushes, fired footballs between them as they posed as defenders and jokingly offered them Icy-Hot. Meanwhile, as NFL legend Moon watched from the sidelines, Cecil Newton went unseen. Though made from the mold of omnipresent, caring sports fathers like those of Tiger Woods and Venus and Serena Williams, scandal had turned Cecil into a shadow figure. Surely enough, shadows loomed behind the windows of the press box overlooking the hoards of spectators. "We had over 300 media requests, and we had to deny 250 of them," James Woo, Whitfield's Director of Operations and Cal State San Marcos student, said. "We're talking about a lot of powerful people seáis su that made the time to come see Cam Newton throw a football." The list included Trent Dilfer, former NFL quarterback and current ESPN commentator. Dilfer, known as one of the sports media's harshest critics, seemed skeptical about Cam Newton before the event. After Cam showed off, Dilfer couldn't stop gushing. "That was phenomenal...if scouts saw this, they'd have been slobbering," he said. According to Whitfield, the idea for the event had been jointly created by father and son, wishing to build momentum entering the pre-draft combine: workouts in front of team scouts. "Mr. Newton is still a human being and a dad," Woo said. "Wouldn't you do the same thing for your son?" No one could blame Cecil Newton for shying away from the field on Thursday. For perhaps the event had a second purpose: guiding the family's wish to move on from scandal and focus on Cam Newton's future. If so, at least temporarily, it succeeded.

CSUSM recently created VPA 181, a class dedicated to learning the process involved with the conceptualization, collaboration and creation of a large-scale mural. For this project, students, artist and CSUSM professor Doris Bittar and artist Isaias Crow work to develop a work of art for the UVA. Crow pursues to mesh his unique artistic qualities with civic engagement programs to bring communities together through art. To ensure community inclusion , the artists invited members of the surrounding San Marcos community to participate in the project and work alongside CSUSM students and faculty to represent the aspects of diversity that make up CSUSM's community. The mural is still in its early planning stages. Students, faculty and community members search to pinpoint what it means to be a member of the CSUSM community. "We want to represent us students, you know, really capture the heart of Cal State San Marcos, and we're still searching to find out exactly what that means," CSUSM student participant Brittany Galante said. To answer that question, Galante and other project members set off to interview students from all corners of campus, invoking questions about what it means to be a member of the CSUSM community and what makes CSUSM so unique. The CSUSM community offered words such as "diversity," "inspiration" and "passion." These words serve as a sneak peak into what the mural will convey. The project leaders divided members of the project into groups, where each group Pre-Doctoral Scholarship Eligible students include: «Juniors •Seniors • Graduate Students Scholarship includes: •Fully-funded Summer Internship •$3K Scholarship for Symposiums, College Visits, application/test fee waivers and more •CSU Faculty Sponsorship required With aspirations to obtain For applications and information: doctorate and become Graduate Studies & Research university faculty. www.csusm.edu/gsr l ieCattira« Stata University Tel: 760-750-8824 Email: gradstudies@csusm.edu proposed ideas for the mural. Then, each group presented their ideas to the rest of the project members and leaders. Now, Crow and Professor Bittar can amalgamate ideas from each group into one cohesive mural design. The conceptualizing process of the mural represents the community because it aims to portray multiple groups of people and ideas that aim to unite and improve our campus. The mural's location will be inside the lobby of the "UVA. Since the project's leaders and members want an accurate account of CSUSM student life, they plan to take a careful amount of time to propose their vision. Participants' actual painting of the mural is set to start later this semester. Soon, the mural will greet CSUSM students and residents with an aim to make them feel even more accepted and included in the CSUSM community.

This year's convention sellout is an impressive milestone compared to the 2009 convention, which sold out of badges in roughly six months and last year's convention, which sold out in just two months. Since Nov. 2, 2010, Comic Con attempted to sell badges online to fans twice, but both times, two different sites experienced high amounts of traffic at selling time and crashed before fans purchased any passes. Three months later, relieved fans heard a new site called TicketLeap felt confident their site could sell the badges without overcapacity. Tick- etLeap guaranteed their site to handle a simultaneous amount of thousand people on the site without crashing. Fans relief turned into pure frustration at 9:05 a.m., when the TicketLeap site sent out error messages saying, "We'll be right back. TicketLeap is currendy down for maintenance," and, "We are currently over capacity, and the site will be back momentarily." Fans felt defeated by the new site, especially after TicketLeap's twitter page read, "If you see an over capacity mes- sage, hit refresh. We are under heavy loadrightnow and it should smooth out." After continuously hitting refresh buttons in different stages, some buyers slowly made their way through the pass purchasing process. TicketLeap averaged that fans requested the site 400,000 times per minute. Comic-Con will not disappoint the fans who defeated the ticket purchasing process. This year's convention features a large amount of comic book and sci-fi/ fantasy blockbusters slated for release through 2011 and 2012. The movies "Thor," "Captain America" and "Transformers," premiere later this year, so directors will speak on their films at the convention. Comic-Con may highlight films slated to premiere in 2012, such as "The Avengers" and the much-anticipated "The Dark Knight Rises."

The San Diego Jewish Film Festival portrays the Jewish experience in the form of contemporary films. Our campus also offers a course on the Jewish culture. This semester, the class, History 383: Women and Jewish History, taught by Dr. Alyssa Sepinwall, surveys Jewish culture and the roles women partake in, as Jews. Dr. Sepinwall requires History 383 students to attend a film from the San Diego Jewish Film Festival. "The festival tries to bring to life the diversity of the Jewish experience around the Photo courtesy of lQcc.org world," Dr. Sepinwall said. Everyone understands the struggles the Jewish community endured throughout documented history, but the festival picks films that shed new light on different realities Jews faced. "Tfle films range from Holocaust themes to...Jewish in American baseball and in the Civil War. The films also focus on universal issues like teenage angst, feminism and childhood memories," Dr. Sepinwall added. One film premiering at this year's festival is the French made, "La Rafle." In English, "La Rafle" translates to "The Round Up." The film showcases the true story of French Jewish refugees being 'rounded up' to go to the horrible Eastern European internment camps of World War II. Dr. Laurance Baron, Nasitir professor of modern Jewish history, opened the film with a few words. Dr. Baron spoke of the history of Jews in France, reminding the audience that France was the first country to grant Jews equal rights. "La Rafle," reveals the travesty of these equal rights being rescinded. The spoken language of the film is mostly French, but audience members quickly adjust to reading English subtitles. "La Rafle" is beautifully composed of rich scenes that propel you into 1940s France. Themes of loss, gender, importance of family and human atrocity against each other capture the hearts of the viewer. French actors Jean Reno and Melanie Laurent portray medical physicians, who care for Jewish children while they wait to be shipped off to die. "La Rafle" is one of 40 plus films featured at the 2011 festival. Anyone interested in learning more about Jewish culture or more on life is welcome to attend the festival. "The festival has always been really welcoming to CSUSM students," Dr. Sepinwall said. "Students in History 383 and other classes have been offered free tickets, thanks to the festival and the Leichtag Family Foundation," she added. The San Diego Jewish Film Festival runs from Feb. 10 - 20. This year, the festival added three new venues in Clairemont, Carlsbad and conveniently at the Edwards San Marcos Stadium 18, along with their existing venues in La Jolla and Mission Valley. Actors and directors from the films and guest speakers precede or follow most^ of the presentations, so you may get a chance to speak to them.

Even archaic CD shamelessly allows the mixing of Photo courtesy ofkcrw.com thousands of songs with no qualms about how their redistribution might affect, well, everything, I imagine artists create albums with the idea that they will be listened to in their entirety. Therefore, I abstain from shuffling. With that said, you will note that I was outside my head the other day, as my iPod was indeed on shuffle. Serving as background noise as meaningless as strangers' conversations, the random selections warranted no particular feelings. I know my music well, so when a song came on that I hadn't instantly recognized, I didn't quite know what to do. A glance at my iPod's display read: Joseph Arthur and the Lonely Astronauts, "Faith." Joseph Arthur began writing music as a teenager. The Ohio- based musician dabbled in electrónica before discovering his signature guitar-centric style. In the early 90s, Arthur signed to Peter Gabriel's record label, Real World Records. After five studio albums, Arthur decided to keep his touring band around for albums six and seven, and establish his own label, Lonely Astronaut Records. His latest release, "Temporary People," includes musicians Sibyl Buck, Kraig Jarret Johnson, Jennifer Turner, and Greg Wieczorek. I clumsily paused the song to see if I could compel any more information out of the slight electronic. I had the entire album, but this Joseph Arthur sounded almost nothing like the guy I fell in love with after hearing "In the Sun" off 2000's "Come to Where I 'm From." I slipped a little further out of my head listening to Arthur's haunted voice on "Faith." His grainy vocal offsets nearly cheerful guitar riffs and cymbal-thick drums. "Faith comes in little waves," Arthur offers with a bit of optimism, as "the pain is what makes you believe." The Lonely Astronauts' chorus punches through the heavy-handed instrumentation with bright belts of affirmation making the song's mood more buoyant than glum. Now that my brain is square between my ears, I may confidently propose that to shuffle is to discover. I am in no way convinced that this happy bit of chance absolves any of the aforementioned offenses, but I supposé music's value surfaces when it is listened to rather than heard. Arthur's upcoming tour schedule includes three dates in Los Angeles at the Bootleg Theater, 'Feb. 15, 22, and March 1. Arthur is also performing at Indio's classic music festival, C oachella^ as a member of the band Fistful of Mercy with fellow musicians Ben Harper and Dhani Harrison. , �BEN DEARINGER PRIDE STAFF WRITER DVDs 'Unstoppable" - 20th Century Fox (PG-13) This action thriller starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pine hits stores today.

Pride Correction : r egarding C al G rants ASI request for registration boxes denied By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Ombudsman By MICHELLE VELARDE Pride StaffWriter The article "Cal Grants offered until March 2 " requires clarification. First off, Cynthia Silman was misquoted in the article in regards to the information about completing income taxes before completing the FAFSA form. The quote should read 'You don't have to complete 2003's income taxes prior to completing the 2004-2005 FAFSA form," meaning that the FAFSA can be completed before taxes, but taxes still must be prepared: the FAFSA form is not a substitute for a tax return. Silman would also like to emphasize that the process is not necessarily simple. The most important factor in determining Cal Grant ligibility is the completion of the FAFSA form. Once the FAFSA is ompleted, Cal Grant eligibility is checked automatically. The deadline is March 2 to complete the FAFSA so that Cal Grant eligibility can be checked. The best option for completing the FAFSA is online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. If an individual's income taxes tiave not been completed, those numbers can be estimated and corrected later. An Associated Students, Inc. proposal, had it been approved, would have made voter registration available in classrooms on campus. However, ASI was unable to initiate this program in time for this election cycle. The purpose of ASI's "Student Voter Registration Innovation 2004" was to encourage CSUSM students to vote. The TAX INCLUDED V OL.XI N O.18 proposal outlined a program in which voter registration card holders would have been placed in every classroom in Academic Hall. The idea was that if CSUSM students saw registration forms every time they went to class, they would be more likely to register to vote, said Erik Roper, ASI Vice President of External Affairs, who also drafted the proposal. "Realizing that we in the CSU have an obligation to provide every opportunity for our students to be responsible citizens in our democracy," the proposal says, "it seems only logical to use whatever legal means are at our disposal to See REGISTRATION, page 2 Lobby Corps to host clean money workshop By TOM PFENGSTEN Pride StaffWriter Photo by Sarah Carlin/The Pride Artist Chris Earnhart tatoos a black cross on the back of Mira Costa College student Heather Curtis, Feb. 14, at About Face Tatoo in Oceanside.

CSUSM's southern part of campus is surrounded by luxury apartment homes and several new housing tracks. The homes that sit on the hill overlooking campus are all still under construction and will continue to expand until approximately May of2005. Construction near CSUSM is expected to continue for the next few years. Last week, a worker sprayed down the excess dust to keep the air clean at a development site. i Photo by Zelynda Smith/The Pride The first track to finish building will be 'Campana and Savona at Rancho Coronado'. This housing track is built by Continental Homes of D.R. Horton company, a well-known name in North County housing developments. Although the first phase of this development is already completed and the majority of the existing houses are sold and occupied, another 200-plus homes will be added. Production will leave Rancho Coronado's development with 6 phases and over 600 new homes dedicated to stylish living. Rancho Coronado representative Nancy Whitton made it apparent last week that Continental Homes bought out this particular area because of the population that the university will eventually help blossom. "This area has a real potential for growth," Whitton said. "Universities ensure a city's reputation." This local development offers 13001600 square foot homes ranging from $350,000-$400,000. Catering to mainly In response to an April, 2003 resolution, Associated Students, Inc. will host a series of workshops this week to educate students on the details of Clean Money campaign finance reform. ASI hopes to spark an increase in student voting rates by bringing the campus up-to-date on the latest political trend—appropriately, one that makes the political process more accessible to students. With regards to why student political activity is so low, ASI Vice President of External Affairs Erik Roper said, "There's this widespread discouragement" among students regarding the political process. "Most of them are totally disengaged." Noting that the CSU mission statement includes the goal of producing politically responsible citizens, Roper said that the Lobby Corps—the political branch of ASI-—hopes to promote student political involvement with its workshops next week. According to publicampaign.org, "Clean Money, Clean Elections" (CMCE) reform "allows qualified candidates to run for public office without compromising their independence since they won't have to ask for money from those with a vested interest in public policy." As opposed to privately-funded campaigns that consistently span into the millions of dollars, CMCE reform would make public funding available for anyone who could prove the legitimacy of their campaign. "It basically allows politicians, once elected, to not be beholden to special interests," Roper said of the CMCE movement. "The reason it was written in that we do these workshops before an election was to remind people how truly messed up our political campaign system is." After gathering a required number of signatures and small donations, candidates would be provided with a first installment of public campaign money for primary elections. Upon winning the primary, candidates would be granted money for the general election campaign.

They do have cases where 'mom and dad' have purchased the house first and the collegiate son or daughter are the only ones in occupancy. Directly across Village Drive is a housing development that hasn't yet broken ground, but is estimated at 300 homes, contracted by The Standard Pacific company. Construction on the first offivephases begins in a few months. Apartments are also booming. In fact, 'Prominence' has the best view of CSUSM. They enjoy a lovely gated community and, unlike the housing tracks, cater to the student population—but convenience isn't cheap. These luxury apartments start at $1,175 for a downstairs, 750 square foot apartment (1 bedroom, 1 bath). Even if students were to share this, they would be paying at least $590.00 apiece. Two bedrooms at Prominence start at $1,525 for 1,128 square feet. Price doesn't seem to be a big concern for the complex. Prominence representative Kelli Francis said that they get plenty of students who share an apartment. The only real problem is during Summer breaks when students migrate back to their hometowns. Students either need to break their existing lease or illegally sub-lease the unit for those cases. Francis said that although student accommodations need to be made, "Prominence isflexibleand understanding. The community is diverse and students help that." Even with an existing resident base, the building still hasn't stopped at Prominence, which is in the expansion process and is expecting 130 more units in the next 6 months. When they arefinishedthe complex will have over 500 units available. Francis concluded, "With all of the local developments popping up, we don't even feel threatened by competition.... We get a lot of people in that are waiting for their new home to be built." Whether new developments are catering to students or not, we can count on growth to persist. Location is everything. As long as there is a growing university and land to build on, buyers see potential. Homes in San Diego County alone put dollar signs in their eyes, and a university in the area ensures any buyer of community. WORKSHOP from page 1 CAL GRANT from page 1 Silman would also recommend that students pick up the booklet titled "Fund Your Future Workbook" which is available in thefinancialaid office, CRA 4204.

In addition, the booklet provides a wealth of websites about financial aid including information on scholarships. The Pride apologizes for the inaccuracies and any inconvenience or confusion they may have caused. REGISTRATION from page 1 encourage and facilitate voting by our students." By making voter registration easily accessible on campus, ASI hoped to play a role in reversing the trend of low voter turnout among 18-25 year olds. If registered, students would be more likely to show up to voting booths, the proposal states. A week before the start of the spring semester, Roper handed the proposal over to Dr. Francine Martinez, Vice President of Student Affairs. According to Martinez, both she and Provost Robert Sheath admired the goal of the proposal. "Voter registration was a critical and important function for the ASI to take on with the university," she said. However, Martinez and Sheath raised some concerns about the proposal, which resulted in its not being executed as ASI had hoped. First of all, there was uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of the voter registration holders located in classrooms. The material provided in classrooms might be ignored, and the faculty might not be able to provide answers for inquiring students, Martinez said. Students need "direct contact," she said, and "to have simply a stack [of papers] may not be the most effective way to bring that to students." Martinez and Sheath came up with an alternative, and urged ASI to place the registration card holders in areas of "high traffic" around campus, where students could ask questions about the registration process and be directed to ASI. Roper acknowledges the concerns over whether or not the caddies would be effective, and recognizes the effort that Martinez and Sheath gave in setting up other locations for the registration caddies, but asked, "How would the university administration know whether or not the plan would be effective unless they tested it? Which they didn't allow to happen." Roper also said that there were other concerns regarding the proposal, such as the possibility of faculty members becoming upset about the presence of the caddies on their desks, and that the caddies may become a source of clutter in and/or around the classroom. At an Academic Senate meeting that Roper attended in January, he said that he passed out copies of his proposal, and found overwhelming support from faculty. "Only one professor raised a hand to express disapproval of the proposal," he said. Martinez said that since faculty opinions on the matter may be different, she encouraged Roper to identify individual professors who would be willing to participate in the effort, and who would both encourage students to register and be open to having the registration material available in their classrooms. While the time has run out for this proposal to be implemented for these coming elections, the issue still remains an important one to Roper. He plans to pass the proposal onto the next person elected as ASI VP of External Affairs, hoping that the proposal will be pushed through for the November elections.

SEXY, SULTRY SUNTAN ^¿jTjAN �NEWS BRIEFS The Affordability in Higher Education Act (HR3311) amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 in order to establish a new "college affordability index" for institutions of higher education, and create new reporting requirements and penalties for institutions that increase tuition and fees by more than twice the rate of inflation over any 3 year period. The bill was introduced into the House of Representatives on October 16,2003 by Rep. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-CA) Chairman, U.S. House Subcommittee on 21st Century Competitiveness and Rep. John A Boehner (R-OH), Chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce. McKeon and Boehner's bill would not give the government any role in setting college costs, but beginning in 2011 the federal government would have the option of removing direct subsidies to institutions that repeatedly practice large tuition hikes. HR3311 has been under review in the U.S. House Subcommittee on 21st Century Competitiveness since November 11,2003. By CHELSEA GEORGE Pride StafiTWriter The Capital Fellows is an organization that provides programs offering college graduates an opportunity to explore a career in California's state government. These state-funded programs give students work experience while they simultaneously earn graduate units. There are four different programs. First is the California Senate Fellows, which is designed to provide members with insight into the legislative process. Second, the Assembly Fellowship program provides students with a chance to actually participate in the legislative process. Third, the Judicial Administration Fellowship Program assigns students work in trial courts and judicial offices throughout the state. Fourth, the Executive Fellowship Program places students in executive branch offices throughout the state capital.

The CSU also continues to show that a majority of its graduates are well educated in their subject matter in the annual evaluation survey of CSU teacher preparation programs, which surveys California K12 principals. The Cal State system has become the leader in alternative paths to certification, through its internship program, which combine teacher preparation coursework with full-time school district teaching jobs. It has also begun to recruit new and diverse students to the teaching field through outreach programs to over 27,000 high school, community college, and university student in the past year which is a 70 percent increase from the previous year. More details can be found in the Teacher Education 2003: The Annual report on Teacher Education in the California State University. This Report and others are located at http://www.calstate.edu/ TeacherEd/annual_report/index.shtml. On Thursday, February 19th, California State University, Dominguez Hills will host a student rally in opposition to fee increases and program cuts in state universities. Students from community colleges and the CSU and University of California systems are expected to participate. Leaders of higher education will speak about the impact that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's 200405 budget proposal would have on students and also on future students seeking admittance to state universities. The concern is that the governor's proposal could limit funding for CSU programs by 9 percent and raise tuition for undergraduates by 10 percent as early as the 2004-05 academic year.

Schwarzenegger's cuts to EOP By ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride StaffWriter Associated Students, Inc., voted in favor of a resolution in support of EOP, outreach, and academic preparation programs within the CSU system. "Gov. Schwarzenegger has targeted EOP to be cut from the CSU system," said Erik Roper, ASI vice president of external affairs, "EOP is not equal opportunity, it's education opportunity." ASI will join California State Student Association (CSSA) to oppose Gov. "EOP is not equal opportunity, it's education opportunity" to find out how to get more campus involvement. The group proposed to increase advertising around campus, which would include, passing out programming board flyers at different locations of campus; incorporate sound in the Dome television announcements; begin a newsbroadcasting channel; and continue fighting against campus posting policy. "There is an overwhelming blur of posters. Involved students will stop and take a look, but uninvolved students do not," said O'Connor. An additional proposal was to create a "college hour" for activities to be scheduled. "One of the main complaints was events scheduled during class time," said Lee. A designated time for events will avoid any conflict with class time. ASI decided not to vote on a position for taking a position on fee referendums. Annual election of executives, directors and representatives for ASI is coming up For those interested in joining Associated Students, Inc., here are the important dates and deadlines for candidates: Photo by Elixabeth Baldwin/The Pride "I dont think we need to take this vote to appease anyone in the administration," said Erik Roper, ASI Vice President of External Affairs. explained that the perception the administration has regarding ASI is that they do not take a stand on any fee increase.

This is especially true since social attitudes towards tattoos in general have signifigantly changed in recent times. i ifflflil^yi D2DY & M on CRflirU/ By L AURA W HITAKER Pride S taff Writer Zzzzzzzzzzzzt. Dzzzt. Dzzzt. If you live life somewhere between pleasure and pain, this may be one of your favorite sounds. Once reserved for sailors and whores in American folklore, tattoos today have carved their niche in the main stream as a means of personal expression, style, and body art. According to Tod Bain, a lifetime artist, and tattoo artist at About Face Tattoo in Oceanside for over four years, most people get tattoos right now because they are so popular. Although this allure for tattoos might make someone more open to getting one, students at CSUSM seem to have a few different reasons for acquiring permanent ink in their flesh. "I've done martial arts for twenty-two years," said senior, history, Duane Burns. "It symbolizes my experiences in the martial arts." Burns has three Chinese symbols on his right arm, and a dragon on his left. In contrast, Sarah Sutton, junior, said, "I woke up one morning and I needed a tattoo." Sutton opted for . a color tattoo in the middle of her upper back. As with many students, her main hurdle for living with her tattoo was her parents. Sutton said that the first thing her mom said when she found out about her tattoo was, "What are you going to do on your wedding day?" Senior Lora Rodstein, who got her first of two tattoos seven years ago, had more serious problems with her parents. "It's against Judaism to desecrate your body like that," said Rodstein. Luckily, her parents have come to terms with her tattoos, and she does not regret them. On the other hand, some students get tattoos specifically for religious reasons, like Les Condalor, who got a large tattoo of a cross on his right arm about a year ago. Some students, however, find less appeal in the idea of being marked forever. Sophomore Alise Battaglia said, "I don't want something on me for the rest of my life that I might regret someday." Battaglia's comment raises the question of whether or not people who are more established in life are getting tattoos, or regretting them. Local businesswoman Melinda Eisenhower, assistant vice president for a property management corporation in San Diego, got herfirsttattoo when she was 23. At that time in her life, she said she recalled thinking, "When they do an autopsy on me, when I'm an old lady, they'll think I am wild." Even though Eisenhower had her first tattoo "covered up," or altered, she has gone in for two more tattoos since then, one of which covers her entire back. The tattoo, which she had done in the last year, is in response to the passing of her husband. As a healing practice, Eisenhower explained, "It's a very transforming experience." Although most students with tattoos seem unconcerned with heir tattoos having had a negative effect on their lives professionally or socially, they may have a few kinks to work out in the future. Eisenhower explained that she has never had any trouble at work because of her tattoos, but relinquished that they also don't really show. She is careful that they are covered when she is meeting new clients. As far as people she has encountered everyday, however, she has had a few negative experiences. Eisenhower said that once a woman in a department store commented that she was ignorant and stupid because she had allowed herself to be tattooed. Eisenhower also related other common incidents of people seeing her tattoos and associating that with her being an "easy" woman. 18-year-old freshman Keith Kramer, had his last name tattooed on the back of his arm in the last year because of what he called a "spur of the moment thing." For those interested in getting tattoos, the process can be somewhat painful, and involves tattoo machines, often called "guns" by those less savvy to the industry. The machines plug into a power supply, and usually use between three and nine needles depending on the thickness of the line being drawn, and whether or not the area is being shaded. Tattoo artist Tod Bain has the right side of his chest tattooed, his whole left arm, called a sleeve, and most of his right arm which is still a work in progress. Bain said he obtained some of his tattoos because they are symbolic of different things in his life, and "some just 'cause I like 4 em." Bain is also lucky enough to have a job that he loves, his favorite part of which is, "being able to express myself daily." As far as cost, Bain said a tattoo would probably run between $50 for something small, and $4000 for a large piece, such as back piece. Tattoos can be designed specifically for an individual, or chosen from artwork called "flash" off of the wall of a tattoo parlor. Tattoos are a dynamic outlet for selfexpression that does require a cost/benefit assessment. "Make sure you know what you want," Bain said. "It's forever." �University Voice What do you t hink a bout; « I » mI ill k V ¿/M same-sex W ! H I f » » ml 1••j B=*i ByTORFREED Pride StaffWriter The Oxford dictionary defines marriage as a "legal" union between a man and a woman for the purpose of "living together." Dictionary.com has seven entries relating to marriage, and only one of them relates to man and woman. It's becoming a hotly contested debate, and on one side there are religious and spiritual leaders adamantly opposed to same sex marriages, quoting the bible and referring to the destruction of Sodom and Gomora. In their eyes, God has decreed homosexuality a sin and any sign of approval of such behavior is clearly wrong according to God. This group believes that gays and lesbians "choose" this lifestyle, that they weren't born this way and could live a "straight" life if they really wanted to. The other side of the equation is the gay community itself, trying to obtain the same rights that married straight couples enjoy. As persecuted as the gay community has been, they argue, why would we choose this lifestyle? What is the difference between a man and a woman being married for twenty years and a man and a man, or a woman and a woman? With recent debate in Massachusetts on this very issue, The Pride hit the campus to see what the student pulse is on this contentious issue. "I'm all for it, I believe in the sanctity of love, not institutions. If we're as free a country as we say we are, we shouldn't have restrictions on how we love," said literature major Polly Charenquanchai. Luis Arreola, junior, history major, cocked his head to one side and thought about it for a moment, then said, "Nah, I don't have a problem with gay marriage, as long as it makes those people happy." "They should be able to do what they want to, I think equal rights for everyone," said Ryan Kennedy, graduate student, literature. "They want everyone to think like they do," he continued. "They're (religious groups opposed to same-sex marriages) afraid of people who think outside their belief system." Jessica Fowler, junior business major, paused and took time to think before replying to how she felt about gay marriage. "I don't have a problem with gay people, I have gay friends it's just that...I'm unsure whether it's right socially, biologically or spiritually...I'm not sure it's right for our society." Paula McCoglan senior, communications, said, "I think the government should get out of the business of marriage, we shouldn't allow the government to favor one group over another." McCoglan explained her solution as one where couples, two consenting adults, present themselves to the government and register as domestic partners. The government then bestows the same benefits heterosexual couples receive through the government through marriage to samesex couples. If a couple wants to get m arried P however * fh P ' . McCoglan Q? P c ontinued they r can then ' ^ P go to a ^téÂCkMJ^ — ^^-- * c hurch, and that individual church, can decide who they want to "marry." McCoglan's solution of registering domestic partners sounds an awful lot like Oxfords definition of marriage, minus the exclusive "man and woman" part. This issue of debate probably won't be solved tomorrow, but more voices in the gay community are being heard. Not this election, but sometime soon, this issue will determine a presidency.

Photo by Ashley Renzy/ The Pride Cindy Pinhal is on exchange f rom France and assists the French department. Pinhal has been on exchange since August, and enjoys the interactive approaches to teaching she has found here in the states. French connection with CSUSM Highlighting some of the differences with American andFrench universities By ASHLEY RENZY Pride Staff Writer At a French University the professor just shows up, lectures and leaves; not leaving any time for questions, feedback or office hours. "There is no syllabus, and no attendance requirements," said Cindy Pinhal. "School is completely the student's responsibility." Cindy Pinhal is an assistant to French professor Dr. Anover, on exchange from France. CSUSM offers study abroad programs to students, as well as two different teacher exchange programs. After completing her master's, Pinhal arrived to the United States last August to assist in the teaching of a few French classes for the spring semester. At the end of the semester, Pinhal hopes to stay here in the United States to finish her Ph.D., or return to France for a short while in high hopes of attaining a teaching job at a university back here in the states. Differentiating between the French and American school systems, Pinhal described how college in France is not necessar- ily easier, just focused differently. In France, the competition is with yourself more than with other students. At the end of high school in France, before graduation, there is a difficult exam, lasting one week, to test skills acquired in every subject. With passing this exam, the student is automatically registered in one of his or her top three choices of universities. Students attending the university pay $400 a year. The school days are also much different from those in America; classes go for an entire year, rather than by semester. A typical weekly school schedule is Mon. through Fri., 8a.m. until 5p.m. "There is no choice in customizing a class schedule," she said. "As a result most students cannot work during school and must live with their parents." Pinhal described the school system in France as "very impersonal." "There is no personal contact with students," she said. A more interactive education leads to better grades, and in an environment like this, if the students do not understand they can ask questions during, class or can go to the professor's office hours. "These outside resources really help them (students) to understand the subject matter better," she said. "I love the way teaching is done here," said Pinhal. "The only thing I do not like is the instability of the occupation. Here, there is a lot to worry about with budget cuts, competition and tenure." "In France once you are hired and go through a one-year training," she said. "You are certain that you have your job for life (and) that is a big security issue." For the students currently enrolled at CSUSM, Cindy Pinhal personally invites you to come to France. "The more students that come to France the better; it is a very widespread and popular culture," she said. "Do not be discouraged if you are not fluent in the language, because a lot of English is spoken there as well." Finance and Economic society meeting Wed. By ALLISON SANSBURY Pride Staff Writer The Finance and Economic Society (formerly known as the Finance Club), had its first membership meeting last Wednesday night, supplied with extra pizza and soda. An upcoming meeting will be held this Wednesday, Feb. 18, where Fred Gerson, chieffinancialofficer of the San Diego Padres, will be speaking to the group about his job. More speakers are scheduled to appear later this semester; both are chief financial advisers, one is from the San Diego Zoo and the other is from the City of Carlsbad. The Finance and Economic Society does a variety of things that range from helping students at Cal State San Marcos control their personal finances, handling company finances and helping students find quality jobs after completing college. The goal of the Finance and Economics Society, as stated by president Greg Lucas, is "to benefit the students without burdening them." Lucas said some societies tend to put pressure on their members, and the point of this society is to aid, not overwhelm, students. This is one of the many new clubs on campus and would be ideal for students majoring in business, although all majors are accepted and encouraged to join the society. The society's vice president of technology, Kat Mulkahy, will give an upcoming seminar on managing personal finances. �Jock Talk with Josh Ephedra is a dangerous short cut By JOSH SANDOVAL Pride StaffWriter Photo by Jennifer Jones/ The Pride Jeff Brown i nstructs a Krav Maga student. Krav Maga class is o ffered through A SI Leisure a nd Fitness c ourses in t he Clarke Field House. Krav Maga attunes self-defense tactics with natural instincts By JENNIFER JONES Pride StaffWriter If you were one of the relatively few people to see Jennifer Lopez kick the crap out of her abusive husband in the movie "Enough," you probably thought to yourself, "yeah right." The technique Lopez displayed is called Krav Maga, and it is being taught right here at CSUSM. Krav Maga is a practical method of self-defense. It combines the physical elements of traditional martial arts, but is designed to rely more on a person's instinctive defensive reactions to a street situation. It has become a popular form of self-defense because it is easy to learn and teaches the student to use thier natural instincts in a given situation. Krav Maga also teaches techniques to use while under pressure, such as low light, or even lying down, because such circumstances are often present in street confrontations. Krav Maga has less to do with the tradition of martial arts, such as bowing and other forms of the art, which can be for sport, but rather is more reality based so that one will have the skills to turn natural reactions into life saving moves. The only fight there needs to be is the last fight. One learns that when in a vulnerable or dangerous situation, to use whatever means nec- essary. "The motto here is attack, attack, attack," said Krav Maga instructor Jeff Brown, "right, wrong, it doesn't matter as long as you hit 'em." Jeff Brown is a decorated martial artist interested in bringing Krav Maga onto the college because, "Everyone, especially every female, should know how to defend him or herself." For women that may be kicking an attacker in the groin. For men it may be punching them in the nose or throat. Brown tells his students to "never give up your weapon, because if you give up your weapon, you're dead." For law enforcement officers that might mean a-gun, in this situation the weapon is your body. Brown said that most attacks are against women; "There is so much crime and violence today and everybody has the right to defend themselves." "I'm going home and practice on my husband." said Madaline Aragone, junior, liberal studies. Garrett Collin, a staff member, is taking the class to get more exercise, "I'm going to try to stay with it the whole time [six weeks]." Each class builds on the previous but in the first half there will be a review of the basic techniques for newcomers. Krav Maga is just one pf nine different classes offered in the ASI Group Fitness and Leisure Courses program. If self-defense is not your idea of fun, maybe trying Ashtanga Yoga or Gypsy Style Belly Dance would be a better suit. Also offered are more traditional fitness classes such as Circuit Training or Step Aerobics. These are just a few of the different classes available for students at the Clarke Field House/ University Student Union. All of these classes are free to students, so why not take advantage of this opportunity to get in shape and have fun. "The ASI Leisure and Fitness classes are a great way for students, faculty, and staff to stay active, meet new people, and explore new talents they may not have known they had," said Laurence Bolotin, ASI coordinator of student programs and services. The Krav Maga Martial Arts class meets Tuesday and Thursday from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. There is no registration required for these classes. You can try them all if you like, and find the one that suits you best. Students interested in classes are advised to come ten minutes early to the class of choice, get a wristband at the ASI Adventure Center and start having fun. Some people are always looking for a shortcut; or some sort of advantage that will give an upper hand without much effort. Typically, the reason being that there just are not enough hours in the day to accomplish everything that needs to be done; prioritization is crucial. Some people strive to look physically attractive, however, not all of these people are willing to put in the extra effort needed to lose weight or bulk up, because it takes time, and a lot of effort. Time is something many people do not have in their busy schedules. The business world knows that the average person does not have the time to exercise multiple hours in a day. Herbal companies create supplements that contain ephedrine (ephedra for short) designed to aid in weight loss and body building for athletes. When the average person looking to trim down hears about these miracle products that helps weight loss, he or she runs out and tries it. What the average person does not know is that ephedra based supplements are extremely dangerous. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) there have been a total of 155 deaths linked to ephedra. One of those 155 deaths was Korey Stringer of the National Football League (NFL). In 2002, Stringer suffered a heart attack, and died moments later during a pre-season workout with the Minnesota Vikings. The cause of the heart attack was linked to the combination of excessive heat and ephedra. In 2003, another one of the 155 deaths occurred on a playing field. Steve Bechler was a young, right-handed starting pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Baltimore Orioles. Bechler was a little over weight, and was taking an ephedra based supplement to help lose some extra pounds. During a spring training workout in Florida, Bechler collapsed, and suffered a heat stroke where shortly thereafter he died. Sales of ephedra products dropped shortly after the death of Bechler, but the product is still being bought by many. If athletes who should be physically superior to the normal person can die from using ephedra, then the average person can suffer complications just as easily. The FDA has banned ephedra from being sold after early April, which is consequently causing many people to rush out and buy as much of the supplement as possible before the April 12 deadline. This ban on ephedra will be the first ban of a diet supplement in government history. Metabolife was one of the companies affected by the bad press. The company has stopped the sale of ephedra supplements, but Metabolife is sticking by their claim that ephedra is safe to use. "Metabolife believes their products are safe and effective when used as directed," said spokeswoman Jan Strode. With the ban on ephedra, another supplement is soon to be created to take its place. The FDA has stated that they will keep a close eye on what ingredients will be replacing ephedra. The NFL and MLB are two organizations that will also be keeping a close eye on the new supplements. The NFL has always been very strict with their substance abuse policy, which extends to supplements such as ephedra. The MLB has never had a substance abuse policy like the NFL where players are required to take drug tests, but MLB is changing its ways. Starting this season, MLB will conduct drug tests for the first time ever. It will be quite interesting to see which players come into this baseball season with a lot less muscle. Athletes, however, are not the only ones who feel the need to lose some weight. Many college students turn to supplements in order to lose weight, especially with the thought of becoming a victim of the "freshman 15." Professor at CSUSM, Ileen Miller, who also works as a nutritionist for Cal-a-Vie said, "The average student gains 15 pounds freshman year." With the concern of weight gain, some students may choose to take that shortcut rather than exercise and carefully watch what they eat. Even if you are not an athlete, know what you are putting in your body and ask yourself if taking that massive shortcut is worth the risk.

Over the years, time seems to go faster and slower. One day you are sitting on the beach in Costa Rica, next you are punching your thoughts into a keyboard to meet deadlines. During all of this, it's important to set aside some time from the daily hustle to say thank you. Walking out of class and out to the parking lot is a good time for that. The sunset yesterday lined the horizon with radiance after class. Students finishing up for the day flooded the walkways in a hurry to exit the campus. What was next? Rushing home to get ready for work? Slowing down for five seconds, looking up to the sky and saying thank you will give you a refreshed perspective. It makes people think about what they have to be thankful for. Then step into the car for the ride home. Taking the time to slow down will make the ride easier, smarter and more enjoyable. It's like smelling the air after it rains. These are the things that we should take the time to notice. With everything that happens at this campus, being late for classes, rushing through traffic, cars and construction, it's important to just stop. See that golden glow of sun, smell that wet air, say thank you. BIER NUTS By KEVIN BRABEC Pride StaffWriter Superstores such as Wal-Mart have become such a part of our retail landscape that many cannot imagine what life was like before them. It takes me 10 minutes to get on the freeway at my entrance when it used to take 2 minutes. The days of mom and pop stores are left to the memories of, well, our moms and our pops. And if they came over to visit they would definitely complain about the traffic too. These superstores have everything, a large selection of most of what we need for our daily lives, all at affordable prices and with the great convenience of everything in one place. Some of us may remember even a few years ago, when large stores such as Kmart and Pic N ' Save were going strong. The only advantage to these stores was price. Typically, they were a mess and most of the merchandise was junk. If your Mom bought your school clothes there, you were not cool and you knew it. The other kids in your school knew it too. The differences in quality and image between what products Wal-Mart carries and what, for example, Bed, Bath By: Chad • 'SARAH R JWN X HAVE A TATTOO...

Everything is in its place, the piles of j unk we remember at chain stores even a few years ago are nowhere in sight at today's WalMart. These superstores are not lazy, either. They are working very hard to fill in the holes and offer us more and more, all at great prices and in great supply, so you can always find what you're looking f or—price, convenience, selection and quality, all in one. So we all win, right? Yes and no. All of this convenience and affordability comes at a cost. You don't have to be that old to remember the stores in your community that your local Wal-Mart replaced. After all, people have always needed socks, toothpaste and the latest Brad Pitt or Julia Roberts movie. So where have all the old stores gone? They have disappeared. The idea of a local merchant whose name you knew and who knew yours is as much a part of history as the local soda shop. When we consider quality of life, when we think about the few extra dollars lining our pockets because of cheaper superstore prices, we should not forget the enjoyment of shopping, the comfort of personal service and sales people and merchants who knew their products and their customers. The experience of shopping among friends in a smaller, more comfortable setting cannot be matched by the •: - Photo by Jon Rodley/The Pride Cars line a parking lot at the San Marcos Wal Mart Friday.

So while we may be thankful for those few dollars a week we save by shopping at Wal-Mart, we should ask ourselves what have lost in the bargain? Where has the sense of community gone? Has it come down to passing the people that we know in the isle but not stopping to ask how they are because we don't have enough time? Has time its self gotten shorter some how by the advent of convenience? Or, do we have so much time that we feel obligated to fill it up with the things that shouldn't matter to us?

After sharing my thoughts on the errors in our newspaper in last week's column, it seems like I sparked an exponential growth of errors in this week's edition. In fact, I was so troubled by the increase that I felt compelled to do some research into how other ombudsmen handle the subject of errors. Gina Lubrano is the Readers Representative for the San Diego Union-Tribune. Her column from January 12, 2004 dealt specifically with the subject of errors. In a no nonsense statement, Lubrano opens her column by stating simply "it would be a mistake to say errors in newspa- pers are inevitable." From that, I thought about how to apply Lubrano's idea to what I had written last week. I would agree with Lubrano that there should be no "inevitable" errors. In other words, there should never be a time in which we, as reporters and editors of this publication, default to accept that there will be some errors in each edition of The Pride.

Like any elected official, he was put into office by the people. As far as I'm concerned, any ineptitude he displays in handling the governorship is the fault of both the Democrats and the Republicans alike. One of our biggest problems, both in California and the Nation as a whole, is that we vote our elected officials based on who we think will win, not who we think The Pride can afford to lose.

Race matters at CSUSM By JASON ROBBINS Pride StaffWiiter There is little doubt that society is as equal as it should be. But could inequality fester within the halls of our own cozy university? In a place where a statue of Cesar Chavez seems to welcome all, inequality is indeed a reality. The term "inequality of condition" refers to differences in people's living standards or conditions. The distribution of those enrolled in college is just one measure of such standards. At CSUSM, certain ethnic/racial groups are not distributed in proportion to their overall population size. As of fall 2003, the student body was 53 percent Caucasian, 18.04 percent Latino, 9.4 percent Asian and 2.7 percent African American. The problem here is that California's population is 59 percent Caucasian, 32.4 percent Latino, 10.9 percent Asian, and 6.7 percent African American (U.S Census). For whatever sociological or conservative reason you may want to offer up, the distribution of Latinos and African Americans within our student body is not proportionate to those groups presence in California. The disproportions equate to an inequality of condition with the condition being educational LETTERS TO TH I noticed a few things in the Feb. 3rd issue that I'd like to discuss. Budget cuts seemed to be the topic of the day in the recent issue, and we were advised by the Chancellor to support proposition 55, a measure that would allow bonds to help "balance" the budget. This is akin to using a credit card to pay your late rent. I'm actually quite surprised that the Chancellor could support this kind of financial irresponsibility in a budget crisis such as this. Which brings me to my fact and quote must be checked to ensure that accuracy is maintained. As student journalists, we cannot afford to appear sloppy or apathetic towards errors and must proactively address the topic. Indeed, most of the errors that I write come from my own critique of The Pride or from the editor or reporter who has worked on the particular story in question. That fact stresses our commitment to accuracy and accountability when we have erred. After all, as Lubrano explains, "credibility is at stake." And credibility is something that will do the best job. An alarming number of Republicans felt that Tom McClintock was the better candidate, yet they voted for the Terminator because he had a better chance to win. Many Democrats were upset with the shady financial dealings of Cruz Bustamante, yet seemed to have no problem voting for his lack of integrity. Even Peter Camejo talked about the ISSUES, while the 2 biggest candidates slung mud. In addition, many of my classmates remind me how the Terminator is a horrible attainment. The relationship between race/ ethnicity and higher education exhibited at CSUSM is endemic to the nation itself. Out of 17,408,664 American college students, 71.5 percent are White, 10.6 percent are Latino, and 7 percent are AfricanAmerican. Yet the American populace is 12.5 percent Latino and 12.3 percent African American. The same type of disproportionate ethnic representation at CSUSM appears to exist at colleges across America. An inequality of condition of educational attainment is exceptionally significant because college degrees yield social resources: money, prestige, etc. For minority groups who hold lesser shares, education is one way to achieve more social equality. It is clear that the instrument of change is most accessible to the most powerful and wealthy. To attain positions of organizational authority (where power often resides), one must necessarily earn some type of college degree. One must also possess a degree in order to accumulate substantial wealth (how power is often purchased). Moreover for groups who wish to initiate positive social change, higher education is an excellent tool. The problem at CSUSM and throughout the nation is that the distribution of African Americans, Latinos and other minority groups in college is a condition that needs to be adjusted. First someone must properly address the cause(s) of such inequalities. Maybe not all people have an equal opportunity to be welcomed by Cesar Chavez. DITOR choice for governor. And how many of those classmates actually voted in the election? To date, none. We're continually complaining about our officials, on a state and national level, yet we do nothing about it. When measures are in the legislature that we disapprove of, how many of us actually write our elected representatives to let them know how their constituents feel? We must never forget that they serve us, not the other way around. The pride needs to get the message out. Get the sheep off their couches, and get them to the ballot box. Get them to the post office, enormous stacks of correspondence to their representatives in hand. I've written to mine, voicing opposition to more borrowing to "balance" the budget. I challenge all of you who disagree with me to fight for your views, as well. After all, that's what representative democracy is all about. James Fitzer �Eat your heart out Hallmark; Shakespeare brings the love By JONATHON RODLEY Pride StaffWriter The fat belly and red wings of Cupid idled on the wall looking out at 30 or so students enamored by Shakespeare Thursday night. CSU San Marcos students read all 154 of Shakespeare's "Sonnets" in honor of Valentine's day. "Not marble, not the gilded monuments / Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme" quoted Shakespeare in the fifty fifth of his love poems. The Medieval Roundtable Club hosted the poetry marathon to provide an alternative to a typical "hallmark" event. "We decided to have something a little more intellectual," said Bridget Wiese, president of the club. Instead of red roses and fluffy love poems, the club handed out condom roses and lubricants during the reading. Wiese said the poems are f ull of darkness, pain and sexual affairs. Many people read the "Sonnets" thinking Shakespeare wrote them to a woman. In reality, he wrote them to fair young man, she said Throughout the reading children ran in and out of the room playing games, while couples huddled and friends mingled. It took about two hours to complete the sonnet cycle. "I think it went really well, we had a great turnout," Wiese said. The Medieval Roundtable Club plans to host several film viewings later this semester with Dr. Heather Hayton's classes.

The film that was shown, titled "Secret Passage," is on "a great topic," said Sepinwall who has been a professor at CSUSM Photo courtesy of Secret Passage Venitian Noble Paulo Zane stares offscreen at Clara while being tipped off to Isabel's schemes. "Seeing the 16th century brought back to life will provide details about the way people act that you can't get from books," Sepinwall said. She said this film could help students to understand "the human "... it's a vibrant and factor" of events like the Inquisition.

They are forced to convert to Catholicism while living in Spain yet they continue to remain faithful to their Jewish faith by practicing in private. As such, they still feel the pressure of living in the overwhelmingly Catholic European continent. The sister's lives become filled with conflicts as Isabel tries to escape and move the family to Istanbul. Clara falls in love with a Venetian noble, Paolo Zane played by John Turturro. Clara, not wanting to leave her lover, allows her emotions to overcome both her faith and her loyalty to her sister and writes a letter to the count of Venice outlining Isabel's plan of escape. The story ends as Isabel is arrested while Clara, now repentant for what she has done, completes the task of moving her family to Istanbul. Isabel goes to her death denying the cross of Christ and vocally declaring her allegiance to Judaism as she is drowned. In a question and answer session following the film, Sepinwall said that the film was "historically based" although the story is unique to the film. An interesting perspective brought up in the discussion was that of relations between Jews and non-Jews in 16th century Europe. "Sexual relations between Jews and non-Jews were a big anxiety for the authorities," Sepinwall said. That explanation relates why Clara could have possibly chosen her family over her love at the end of the film. Sepinwall who received forty tickets to the film festival for her students paid for by the Funes Fund, which provides moneys so that students can attend visual and performing arts events, was excited about student involvement. "Its great going to the festival with the community, it's a vibrant and lively experience that is a major event," she said. Sepinwall especially enjoys films that have discussion afterwards, "hearing people ask questions and hearing their responses gives an experience that seeing a film in class just doesn't do." 'Hidalgo': an American legend ByMARKPERRERA Pride StaffWriter In the theater the air is filled with anticipation and suspense, not from waiting for the movie to start but from walking back and forth trying to find a seat. I'm at an advanced screening for the film "Hidalgo." The movie is based on the true story of the life of Frank T. Hopkins a.k.a. Blue Child and his wild mustang, Hidalgo. Viggo Mortensen of "Lord of the Rings" fame plays Hopkins as a savage, wild and rugged man who is just as tough as his horse; The bond between Hopkins and Hidalgo is one that surpasses all human understanding. They are best friends and they are brothers. The story begins when Blue Child, who is Caucasian and Native American, witnesses the massacre of his people by the cavalry at the Battle of Wounded Knee. Struggling to find his place in American culture, Blue Child drinks constantly and he is always drunk when he performs on the "Wild Bill Hickock" show with Hidalgo. It is during one such performance that an Iraqi sheik becomes offended by Hopkins' billing. Wild Bill announces him as the world's greatest rider on the most famous horse. The sheik then challenges Blue Child to prove himself in the 3,000 mile race across the desert sands of Syria and the Arabian Desert called the Ocean of Fire. The victor is to walk away with $100,000. Throughout the film there are twists and turns that kept Photo courtesy of Touchstone Pictures Frank T. Hopkins rode a mustang against the finest Arabian horses. the audience on the edge of their seats. It is action and suspense all rolled in together as Hidalgo and Hopkins narrowly escape the dangers of this race. The climax rises and falls from scene to scene until finally, the moment everyone we were waiting for, a horn sounds as the horses are seen in the distance approaching the finish line. Don't leave your seats to get popcorn because you will miss out on a great ending. Photo courtesy of Touchstone Pictures Viggo Mortensen plays Frank T. Hopkins a legendary American cowboy who raced across the Arabian Desert in a 3,000 mile survival race. This film is not j ust about horse races or a man's personal search to put the pieces of his life together. Its not just about the bond between a man and his horse.

Zombie culture exploded in 1968 with the release of George A. Romero's film "Night of the Living Dead." The idea of reanimated corpses infected with a virus died down for a while but is now making a comeback. Film director George A. Romero has a cult following after establishing the idea of zombies in his films, especially "Dawn of the Dead," where the dead rise and mindlessly hunt living humans. Now modern directors and thinkers are expanding on zombie theory causing me to fair in love with zombie culture. Directors often repeat the formula for zombie films, but nonetheless, they are always exciting. There is a mysterious outbreak of the virus that reanimates corpses and then hordes of the infected grow as they stack up a high body count. Then the protagonist and others bond together out of necessity tofightand survive. I find the struggle to perpetuate humanity a brilliant concept. Few horror films besides zombie films feature the fright where an ally can suddenly become the protagonist's enemy due to a virus. Zombie stories also offer insight on popular culture. Films such as "Dawn of the Dead" and "Shaun of thé Dead" cleverly compare normal life with the activities of zombies to make a statement. The mentioned films show the audience how people become zombies because of the way routine and consumerism makes their lives mundane. Other insight based on zombies comes from metaphors based on religion. Some zombie stories pin the blame on humanity for the outbreak. These films claim that the virus is punishment for living immoral lives. Alternatively, some films claim that the dead are rising because there is no more room in Hell. Both are preposterous, but get across the idea that we should behave better as a civilization because there are consequences. The once popular idea of zombies brought about by Romero's films is once again gaining popularity for whatever reason. Whether it's the excitement of horror films such as "28 Days Later" or the fun generated from zombie-themed video games such as the "Resident Evil" series or "Left 4 Dead," popular culture is getting into zombies again.

BY IVAN GARCIA list off some reasons * ther, I have to confess, I have NO idea at all as to the state of the economy at this time. I do not know what a recession is and something called a "stimulus package" j ust sounds like an overpriced sexual implant for men. If I were somehow (and god forbid) ruler/king/hegemon/etc. of America one day, I would think that fixing the economic crisis would just be to print more money* And also to take guns away from Dick Cheney, permanently! Officials say that we're out of money, so print more, or let's replace dollars with something that's more abundant, like grass or ketchup packets. Beyond my delusional fantasies, the question still remains: does a recession improve our sex life? Our relationships? Personally, I think it goes both ways. On the physical side of the spectrum, I think a recession would totally help out when it comes to "doing the d eed/' Think about it: there's a recession taking place and everyone is tight on money. Obviously, that means couples will start going out less and staying in more meaning that watching "A Walk to Remember" will lose its appeal a fter the ninety-seventh time. Considering how much I love that movie, personally, I think it is ten times better than "The Notebook." I can never personally get tired of a tragic love story featuring Mandy Moore and.. .some other guy. It's j ust genuinely sweet without the fan-base of millions of screaming teenyboppers chanting for more vampires. Couples nowadays will have to find more activities to do in the comfort of their own home (free) instead of going to expensive places (not free). So what are two hormone-enraged lovers to do with an empty apartment/home/etc. and an empty bed? Sleep...or not (har har)! That's right, having sex is definitely going to become an activity practiced more often as opposed to spending money. But even so, don't ever sacrifice t hriftiness for safety. Go out, buy protection and use it! There are organizations that provide free condoms, dental dams, and so forth, so please take advantage of those resources. Please make sure you switch it up when it comes to having sex. I would assume that the "bionic seahorse" would get boring eventually. Be adventurous and try something new, otherwise, your sex life could be as depressing as October 29, 1929. On the other end of the spectrum, this recession might actually cause some disruptions in the relationship aspect as well. One of the biggest, if not the biggest, reasons as to why couples fight is due to financial concerns. Sure enough, with an economic crisis of this magnitude occurring, this is the time to watch for any falling television sets from 7th story windows. Financial stability is definitely a factor when it comes to relationships. Unfortunately, we live in a capitalist society. The wbrld revolves around the idea of consumerism (just look at prostitution or iTunes). Think about it. You and your partner, sifting back enjoying a nice dinner that you made at home. Suddenly, he/ she asks how much the ingredients cost and all hell breaks loose because you bought Prego tomato sauce instead of the bargain brand. In these cases, I like to reply with sarcasm, "So what? I can take your plate of delicious lasagna away if that'll make you feel better." I wouldn't recommend this action unless physical violence or rough sex turns you on. Amidst the hardest of times, always remember that a relationship requires hard work, a team effort, and understanding even though the situation may be out of anyone's control. At the very worst of times, make sure you remember your friends and hobbies, watch a favorite movie or listen to a favorite song like "Cool for Cats" by Squeeze. That one, in particular, always seems to set the mood. C SUSM LANGUAGE LEARNING CENTER V V S S Free Language Tutoring Reference & M edia Library Online & Center Resources ...And M ore!

Applications due: March 26,2009 San Marcos University Student Union Student Forums As Cal State San Marcos continues to grow and approach its 20th anniversary, we are exploring options for constructing a facility for campus life, programming, social interactions, and leadership development that will impact the entire campus community. The proposed University Student Union (USU) project will enhance the quality of campus life by providing a mix of informal gathering spaces, retail and food services, and venues for events. However, an increase to the existing Student Union fee would be necessary to support construction and ongoing operational costs associated with the facility. CSUSM will be utilizing an alternative consultation process which provides opportunities for student, faculty, and staff input regarding the proposed USU building and student fee increase through forums and a website (http://www.csusm.edu/usuA designed to be both educational and a means to obtain feedback. This feedback will then be compiled into a report and presented to the Student Fee Advisory Committee and President Haynes. Your participation is crucial to the process since the proposed University Student Union will have broad implications affecting many aspects of campus life. By attending one of the forums, you will have an opportunity to learn more about the proposed building, view artist renderings, ask questions and provide us with your thoughts and ideas. The open student forums are scheduled as follows: • February 25,2009 in the Clarke Field House, Room 113, from 5:30 to 6:30 |j.m. • March 12,2009 in Markstein Hall, Room 125, f rom 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. Faculty Center K ellogg Library 2 400 ^•^p^pi www.csusm.edu/fc mSm Tel: 760-750-4019 Email: facctr@csusm.edu California State University || y*JiJ:l'tiijir#iife-ii Free pizza will be served! »mmmm T he C alifornia P re-Doctoral P rogram Check out the USU website aitto://wwwxs1ism.edii/iiRi.A to learn more and to leave questions or comments. �Faces & Places THE PRIDE A Day ùwthe/Life of AwK A The R .A. convention BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer By worldly standards, most people would mark RAs as nerds. That is probably true. We spend our weekends ensuring CSUSM does not degrade into a wasteland of alcohol and drugs described by rapper Asher Roth's song "I Love College." We even go to conferences to meet and be with other RAs. In November 2008, we went to Scripps College for the Southern Residential Activities Programming (SRAP) conference. This conference, which began in the 1970-'71 school year at UCLA, is a one-day gathering of RAs from Southern California. This year's theme was "008- License to Thrill," a pun on James Bond movies. The conference is about all things RA. There is a keynote speaker who talks about college life and workshops where other RAs share ideas for programming. Parts of the festivities include awards for individuals and schools with good programming ideas as well as the "Spirit Stick" award. This prize goes to the school with not only the most spirit, but also those who participate in philanthropy, programming ideas, and festive giveaways. To match the theme of undercover secret agents, we dressed up as Waldo, from the book series "Where's Waldo?" The judges^ appreciated our costumes, program ideas, and attitude because for the second year in a row we won the "Spirit Stick." We might have looked like fools dressed in red and white shirts and going away for a day to talk about how to serve out residents better, but that is what it means to be an RA. It requires humility, but I find it a source of pride as well. The SRAP conference is a day to prove that RAs are nerds, but we enjoy being there for our residents. Tuesday February 17, 2009 5 The Breax Hip-hop for the soul BY MATT LEWIS Pride Staff Writer On February 11 at 6 p m, a Christian Hip-Hop show hosted by a group called The Breax performed at the Clarke Field House. The Breax is made up of three artists: Ruslan Karaoglanov, the emcee and a CSUSM student, Beleaf, the DJ from Baltimore, Maryland, andMic B, the drummer who isfromOceanside. The event included local artists like Heavenly HostfromOceanside, and a Portland, Oregon native artist called Braille. This event marked the beginning of the "Broken Television" tour for The Breax, which will take them to New York City, Maryland, and Los Angeles. The idea of the concert was to Photo courtesy ofMatt Lewis let The Breax and the local artists express themselves and their beliefs through both Hip-Hop music and spoken word poetry. "Hip-Hop is a powerful medium, and it is important to support artists you enjoy as well as local rising Hip-Hop artists," said CSUSM student Rajah Gainey to the crowd shortly before the show. The performance opened with songs from local artists, including one from Oceanside called Heavenly Host. Although he only played a few songs, his powerful instrumentais and thoughtful lyrics made him a crowd favorite. Next was Braille, a.k.a Bryan Winchester, from Portland, who incorporated a lot more dancing into his songs and had a much longer set than the first two artists. He definitely had much more experience with stage presence, and was able to use humor and enthusiastic showmanship to get the crowd ready for the main event. Although he will not be touring with The Breax, he will be playing local venues in the near future (go to www.braillehiphop.com for more information). The Breax themselves com- Photo courtesy ofMatt Lewis manded the audience's attention most out of all the groups. The fact that they use a live drum set (played by Mic B) and used turntables made their songs much easier for the audience to get into. Their sound is reminiscent of the People under the Stairs and Dilated Peoples, with obvious influencesfromgroups like The Roots and Common. In addition to entertaining the crowd with audience-influenced freestyles and spoken word monologues from all the members, the group conveyed how their beliefs have had a positive effect on both their music and their lives. "It's good to see groups conveying a positive message through HipHop, instead of the typical stuff you see on TV," said Anthony Carlson, a junior at CSUSM. "It seems much harder to promote a positive message through your beliefs than to give into societal pressure."

H ow to build a nd keep a high credit score BY JESSENIA LUA Pride Staff Writer Ever wonder what determines your credit score? For many ofus, it's a guessing game of confusing numbers only hoping to be high enough to financially qualify us for anything. Having a high credit score is important because it shows lenders you are responsible andfinanciallytrustworthy. With a high credit score, you can borrow moneyfrombanks with better interest rates, easily qualify to rent a home, and in some cases, get a new job. If you just turned 18 and have no credit history whatsoever, a great way to establish credit would be to open a checking and savings account with a bank. Deposits, withdrawals, and transfers are a constructive way of showing financial responsibility. Starting slow is the best way to establish credit. Instead of jumping in and applying for a major credit card with a high credit limit, try to go for something simple like a gasoline credit card or even a line of credit at a department store. Within time, your credit will slowly build up to represent a financially trustworthy person. Credit scores are determined by using the FICO scoring system FICO is an acronym for Fair Isaac Company who developed this system that became the standard creditworthiness for potential borrowers. FICO calculates your credit score by considering anything from payment history, amounts owed, length of credit history, new credit, and types of credit used. Credit scores are anywhere between 300 to 850 with 300 being the poorest credit and 850 being the highest credit Keeping a high credit score is critically important especially when you are venturing out on your own. One thing that can help keep your credit score high is by always making payments on time. Missing and avoiding credit payments is the easiest way to damage your credit. If you forgettomake a payment and pay it three days late, not to worry, this one little mistake will nbt affect your credit score. However, consecutively missing payments will definitely bring your score down. Also, if you have unexpected emergencies, credit companies will work out a payment plan to prevent any damagetoyour credit. While making payments to credit companies, it is not necessary to make the full balance payment, but it is necessary to at least make the full minimum payment Credit scores are not determined by your age, but by the history of financial responsibility. Payment history is the most important factor in determining your credit score. However, having too many open credit accounts can hurt your credit The fewer the credit cards you have, the better. Lenders might interpret several open credit cards as risky behavior. If you have fallen into some hardships, there are a few things you can do to get your credit back on track. For one, don't be afraid to consolidate.

The stimulus package is a $787 billion bill that President Obama will sign early this week. There is no doubt that this package will go down in history without any controversy. The House passed the bill with no Republican support, 246 votes in favor and 183 votes against. The Senate had a similar situation, 60 to 38 votes, with only three Republican votes in favor. According to the Associated Press and USA Today, the package will include billions towards colleges, public schools, and students. The package includes the largest funding increase for Pell Grants. Nationally the package incorporates almost $17 billion just for the Pell Grant program alone. Currently eligible students' benefits go up to $4,700. With this package, financial aid would increase nearly 9 percent starting July 1 and up to $5,550 in 2010. Most beneficiary students come from families whose income is less than $40,000. Another benefit that would come along is a tax credit. $13 billion would go towards higher education tax credits. Students at four-year colleges and their families are to benefit from a higher education tax credit that would go up $2,500. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, in California alone, this tax credit could help more than 500,000 students. It is calculated that California would get the most out of this package. Over the next two years, California would receive 10 percent, around $80 billion, of the package. California's current budget deficit would benefit from this package. The state is currently at a record high $42 billion deficit. College life among students will definitely be affected by the stimulus package. Student Michael Medel explained, "When it comes to college students, I do think that the stimulus package will positively affect many potential and current students who couldn't afford to pay for college. "By increasing the amount of eligible students for the Pell Grant and helping with tax benefits, the plan might give that extra push to people who were only thinking about attending college to actually attend and help current students stay in college to finish their degrees," continued Medel. Another student, Daniela Fulop, believes the stimulus package will have a positive effect. "I'm very optimistic about Obama's 2009 B udget banter Chancellor Reed announces more than b argained for credits a nd employement BY DIANA VALDIVIA Pride Staff Writer Tuesday; February 17, plan. I believe it will make a difference, especially for college students. In these times, we need all the help we can get!" Fulop commented on the difference this stimulus package will have on students, "I'm sure we'll see some differences, at least on our Financial Aid Reports. Those who got little or no financial aid in the past, now have higher hopes. I'm thankful that they are concerned about us 'poor college students!'" Other benefits from this stimulus package include $39 billion towards K-12 grade schools and colleges that would help to prevent state budge cuts. Additionally, nearly $8 billion would go to schools' priorities such as building renovations. More than $4 billion would be for the Head Start, for other early education programs and childcare programs. Home purchases fromfirst-timehomebuyers before December 1 would be eligible for an $8,000 tax credit. Also, consumers purchasing a new car would be eligible to write off the sales taxes. Starting around June, workers who earn less than $75,000 would get a $400 tax dredit, about $13 extra each weekly paycheck. The tax credit would go up to $800 for couples who combined income | earn less than $150,000. These tax creck its would be only for 2009 and 2010, Medicaid would receive $87 billion.

BY JAMES SEBRING Pride Staff Writer Chancellor Reed stated in a recent communication release to CSU employees that the previously proposed $66 million budget cut will be permanent. He also established a fixed full-time equivalent student (FTES) number for fiscal year 08-09 and 09-10. FTES is a method of calculating the student population in terms of bodies and units taken. Essentially, we are in a zero population growth situation, which equates to a very simplistic approximation that for every student that goes out the door, one can come in. As a result, first-time college applicants may find acceptance harder to come by. The state decided to have the CSUs take a regional approach t o enrollment, meaning local applicants have priority. One of the problems of zero growth isgthat the money coming in remains the same, so there has to be an increase in fees. The proposed fee increase for next year is 10%. In lieu of that negative image, Chancellor Reed froze salaries for CSU Vice Presidents and above, as Well as some management levels. ^Federally or privately funded programs are unaffected by state budget cuts, but f o r d i n g to Nathan Evans, Director ^ Admissions and Recruitment, there p p t that much federal funding here at ;d|USM. Federal program funds are also very specific and don't contribute to l iberal maintenance funds. The belt tightening also affects equipment purchases. This consists of facilities design and construction, which includes new educational building construction and upgrade of old buildings. You will be happy to know, however, that construction of our new parking facility will be unaffected by these budget cuts since the funds for construction are provided through private funds, bond issues, and of course your parking fees. The McMahan House is also included in this elite category since it is privately funded. The McMahan House is the construction project on the hill just above the Track and Field competition area. It is to be a ceremonial meeting place between the community and the University. Neal Hoss, CSUSM Vice President ofUniversity Advancement, stated that "whatever the budget realities are, the campus and university leadership are committed to moving forward and doing the best we can." In talking to Margaret Lutz, Public Information Officer, she said that the general morale of staff personnel was good, despite the budget cutbacks and wage freezes. Lutz further explained, "It is probably the number one issue on everyone's mind... faculty, staff and students. But President Haynes has positioned the university pretty good... knowing that there might be a shortfall this year. We are better off than a lot of the universities in the system, regarding the budget. And I think that is because of President Haynes' foresight... anticipating the situation and having us watch the expenditures closely last year." sexually active? pregnant? been tested? ^exploreyour choices... discover your options... alternatives we're here to help! medical personnel and counselors sensitive to your needs and busy schedule are on hand to empower you in your decision making. call or walk-in Plfasefcall, 'Äxt, or Email to i p p u l e a C<É¡rt#^ Consultation I fgiw Offices of Líen X Tragh ¡ É 6994 EI Camino Real Suite 2 fl^Xaris|lf, ÇA 92009 ^ M B ^ ^ m ^ 7 * Q ^ i m 5 a tty.Ii|¡¡Jfeattiiet % 24/7 hotline jßm j p k f J /Ufi 257 east second avenue, escondido, ca www.awc-ca.com does not provide abortion or abortion referrals • juniper 2nd ave �8 Tuesday, February TZ 2009 FOC6S & THE PRIDE PIqC6S M a n a g i n g c redit H igh s cores a n d n o g a m e s BY JESSENIA LUA Pride Staff Writer showing financial responsibility.

Credit fers are a constructive way of scores are anywhere between 300 to 850 with 300 being the poorest credit and 850 being the highest credit. Keeping a high credit score is critically important especially when you are venturing out on your own. One thing that can help keep your credit score high is by always making payments on time. Missing and avoiding credit payments is the easiest way to damage your credit. If you forget to make a payment and pay it three days late, not to worry, this one little mistake will not affect your credit score. However, consecutively missing payments will definitely bring your score down. Also, if you have unexpected emergencies, credit companies will work out a payment plan to prevent any damage to your credit. While making payments to credit companies, it is not nec- essary to make the f ull balance payment, but it is necessary to at least make the f ull minimum payment. Credit scores are not determined by your age, but by the history of financial responsibility. Payment history is the most important factor in determining your credit score. However, having too many open credit accounts can hurt your credit. The fewer the credit cards you have, the better. Lenders might interpret several open credit cards as risky behavior. If you have fallen into some hardships, there are a few things you can do to get your credit back on track. For one, don't be afraid to consolidate. If you're overwhelmed by all your payments and have fallen behind, choosing a non-profit credit counseling program can help you improve your credit. Debt consolidation used to have negative effects on credit, but now only helps improve it. Craig Watts, an executive at Fair Isaac & Co., says, "Today the FICO score ignores any and all references in a credit report to credit counseling or debt management programs." Always avoid bankruptcy completely. Bankruptcy can knock 200 or more points from your otherwise fair credit score, and recovering from it is very tough. Bankruptcy can stay on your record for up to 10 years, and the majority of lenders will reject bankrupt consumers. Long story short, the next time you find yourself wondering about your credit, remember to start small to end up big, be patient to let it grow, and always make your payments on time.

BY CONSUELO MARTINEZ Pride Staff Writer Nowadays, there are a variety of cleaning sprays and solutions to choose from for home and laundry use. If you do any gardening, you can understand that pesticides and fertilizers are cosily and not always safe for our environment For thousands of years, people have been using vinegar for a variety of uses. Vinegar is probably one of those things many ofus saw as a kid but have forgotten about. A household brand name, Heinz (yes, the makers of ketchup), are also makers of vinegar. The H. J. Heinz Company has produced vinegar in the United States for over 100 years. Vinegars range in taste, colors and use. The vinegars produced by Heinz are natural, low-calorie, kosher and gluten-free-(with the exception of their apple cider flavored vinegar). Distilled white vinegar can be used for more than cooking and pickling. The use of distilled white vinegar rangesfromhome, outdoor and personal use. The following are just a few of the many uses of distilled white vinegar: Household and appliance cleaner, Mouth- Ingredients: • Rice Stick you might also be able to use angel-hair pasta • Two tablespoons cooking oil • 1/4 large red onion (diced) • 1 cup pork cubes or strips • 2 cups shredded carrots • 2 cups shredded Chinese cabbage • 2 cups sliced green beans • 1 cube Knorr chicken bouillon • 3 cups of water wash, Stain and odor remover, Fabric softener, Weed killer, Fertilizer and pesticide, Food seasoning, Shining solution (hair, car, shoes), Antiseptic (for cuts and scrapes), Soothes sunburns, Removes rust and other mineral deposits.

Photo by James Sebring A slice of Philly in S an M arcos BY MATT LEWIS Pride Staff Writer If there is anything that the residents of Philadelphia, PA, are more proud of, it is their Philly cheesesteaks. The ingredients are simple enough: roast beef, cheese, onions, and Italian bread (with many variations containing banana peppers, pizza sauce, etc.). But residents of Philly are often quick to pass harsh judgment on these 'imitators' and claim that a cheesesteak outside of Philly just is not the same. One local restaurant, however, is giving places that claim to serve 'real' cheesesteaks a run for their money. This place is Philly Franks, located at 151S. Rancho Santa Fe Road (left off the exit) and is San Marcos' pre- mier cheesesteak emporium. Philly Franks was startedby Linda and Frank Soper, the co-owners of the restaurant, who continue to run the restaurant as a family business. "We are from Philly originally; we've lived in San Diego for 35 years, and having been running this place for 9 years" says Linda Soper. If experience has taught them anything, it's that the two most valuable things in life are family and food. Not only does this restaurant make _great food, it provides a sense of community and home to local residents who hail from Pennsylvania. The store is decorated with all sorts of paraphernalia from the Eagles, Sixers, Phillies, and Flyers. In addition to the décor, they serve local products you just can't find in Cali- fornia, like Tastykakes, Wise chips, and Esposito's Italian Ices. "The first time I went in there, I knew they were the real deal. I mean, to import that local food in addition to the atmosphere really makes it unique to San Diego. Plus, the food is incredible" said Geoff Acres, a San Diego resident and Philly transplant. Tina McAleese, the manager, imparts the sense of community people have in the restaurant: "When people get together here, whether they talk to us or the customers or the locals, and they get to talk about their hometown and the stuff they care about, that's really special." So most people come to Philly Franks for the food, many more stay for the casual and friendly atmosphere and the oppor- tunity to catch a game with friends. Some Cai State students have been singing Philly Franks praises since they opened. "The cheesesteaks are awesome, plus the feet that they're local makes it seem likefriendsare running the place" said Anthony Carlson, a junior at CSUSM. "I remember they once sponsored a blading contest down at the Kit Carson Park, and brought the grill out and everything: It was awesome, there's no way any chain restaurant would do something like that". With its close proximity to campus and selection of fine beers (including Stone and Alaskan Amber), Philly Franks is definitely worth checking out Need more incentive? Well, they also offer a 10% discount with your student ID. And when looking at the menu and are unsure of what to get, just remember the Philly saying: "It's all good!"

Perhaps the most important part of the book is the stereotype of the happy, obedient and invisible chef people often tend to believe. The cooks he talks about are real people— people like all of us: mean, funny, addicted to drugs, in debt for gambling, have families. The chef community is full of bitter people who swear, get angry, and commit crimes, not unfeeling robots who cook food. There is a person behind that $150 foie gras meal you ordered. — a person who probably would have to save for weeks to afford the very same meal. The book used somewhat of a dark humor and defiant attitude in describing the modern restaurant scene that may seem a little harsh for some readers. Bourdain's writing style is not intended to put readers off, but to open their eyes. Every person has flaws and emotions, and its time restaurant staff be recognized for being just that ~ human, and therefore, imperfect. But before this turns too philosophical, just know that it's an entertaining and funny book that gives you a new perspective on experience of a cook. So take it easy the next time you get your food a little late, because it means that there's more to story than you might think.

Wednesday February 4 | 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm Saturday, February 28 | 10:00 am - Noon t he D VD hits & misses BY BLAINE H. MOGIL Pride Staff Writer Welcome to the second installment of a new feature in The Pride. Here, you will find reviews of a wide range of DVD's including new releases f rom the Hollywood movie factory, indie art films, documentaries, rockumentaries and mockumentaries, and even some foreign flix to broaden your movie horizons. From week to week expect to find a mix of 'What to See' or 'What to Miss' films, or perhaps some 'What You Missed' films, to help you to uncover a video gem hiding in the dusty corner of the local Video Store (or on Netflix!). Our f irst selection this week is the highly praised, highly hyped and highly anticipated Hollywood Comic Book blockbuster, f eaturing Batman in "The Dark Knight." First, let it be known that although I love many comic book movies based on characters such as Hellboy and the X-Men, I am not a Bat-fan. Also, when viewing any movie that has garnered as much praise as this one, such great expectations can easily lead to great disappointment. With "The Dark Knight," I f ind myself straining to hold back on the praise. No one should be disappointed because I over-hyped it. Heath Ledger. Wow. He delivers a stellar performance unlike any I have ever seen. I don't think I will ever see a performance this great again. In this f ilm, Heath Ledger doesn't simply create a character. He is the Joker mind, body and soul. His performance is so entrancing* and shines so bright that it almost, almost, leaves everyone else in the shadows. But with an amazing cast including such g ifted actors such as Michael Caine portraying A lfred, Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon, and Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent, there is little chance that Ledger's shining star p erformance will completely eclipse the others. The movie sets create a world so real that i t's authenticity never comes into question. The direction, camera work and editing are all f irst rate. And, the story itself is a nicely woven tale of love, love lost, and the s acrifices we make in the interest of making our world a better place. If you can see it in BluRay, make sure you do. The bottom line is that this movie is not only a solid ' What to See', but also a 'Not to Miss.' ***** Our second film, "The Visitor" is the second film f rom indie writer/director Thomas McCarthy, whose first film, "The Station Agent," was a solid, quirky, and heartwarming story of friendship and connection. This film f urther examines these themes with Richard Jenkins delivering a solid performance as Professor Walter Vale. Walter has lost his wife, his connections to the world, and his sense of purpose. When Walter returns to his apartment in the city for the first time in years, he encounters Tarek and Zainab, portrayed by Haaz Sleiman and Mouna Khalil, who have rented the apartment f rom one of Tarek's acquaintances. In the aftershock of finding strangers living in his apartment, Walter finds a bond growing with his newfound friends, Tarek and Zainab. This connection can clearly be f elt while watching the movie. Tarek and Zainab are both here in the country illegally. As events play out and Tarek is torn f rom Walter's life, Walter desperately grasps to hold onto Tarek, and will not willingly let him go. Do not look for a happy, clean Hollywood plot line or ending. Just know that if you are feeling a drift and disconnected in this world, this film j ust might help you to find your path back to connection. Don't live a life disconnected, and don't miss connecting to this solid 'What to See' film. **** The final selection this week is a documentary about competitive break dancing entitled "Planet B-Boy." The stories in this film are at times a little choppy, and the editing a little sloppy. You may wish that they had not cut out so much of the actual competition video footage. That's the bad news. On the p lus side, this film follows several competitive break dance (also known as B-Boy) teams f rom around the world as they converge in Germany for the B-Boy "Battle of the Year" competition. The competitors come f rom countries all over the world including Japan, South Korea, France, the United States and more, all trying to f ulfill the common dream of being named the best B-Boy team on the planet. If you are not familiar with this art form, this film is the perfect introduction. All of these young men are committed to their art, their teammates and the hope to show the world that their country has the best B-Boy dancers in the world. There is majesty in their dance, there is athleticism in their performance and a brotherhood within and among teams that transcends the sport. My w ife said it best a fter watching this film when she said, "Maybe i t'll be an Olympic Sport someday." That day can't come soon enough for me.

There are only two major films releasing this week, neither are worth the price of a ticket. First, there is Tyler Perry's "Madea Goes To Jail." Actor and director Tyler Perry once again brings back his character Mable Simmons, nicknamed "Madea," who is a sassy older AfricanAmerica woman. He continues to milk this "cash cow" that he started in 2005 with "Dairy of a Mad Black Woman " _ m, m -"smsr M m » _ As the title would suggest, this movie is about Madea going to jail. Like other movies by Perry, I expect this to be a flick based around jokes and gags rather than a plot. In the end, there will be an encouraging message MADEA jammed in right before Image courtesy ofLionsgate the end. I doubt this iN THEATERS F EBRUARY 20 will be the film that increases Perry's score on Rotten Tomatoes. The other new entry to cinemas this week is "Fired Up!" The movie poster, which boasts two large letters, an "F" and a "U," does not inspire hope that thisfilmwill be any'good. "Fired Up!" is about two guys going to a cheerleader camp and the silliness that occurs. I expect this film to be an emulsion of other teen comedies, such as "Bring It 3 00 GIRLS. YOU D O THE MATH. Image courtesy ofSony Entertainment On," rather than anything entertaining or new. Frankly, this film is going to be a waste of time. It is not artful or entertaining and will only gain an audience of teenagers because it borders on soft-coré pornography. Unfortunately, movies like this will continue to be made because people who cannot handle a decent film go to see them. Word(s) To embezzle.

Removed Then Reinstated from page 1 The BOD met on Jan. 31 to discuss and vote on the issue o f Patel's reinstatement. Patel, in a brief statement to the BOD, admitted missing the retreat due to an unexpected family emergency and asked to be reinstated. The vote to reinstate Patel was unammous. Last spring, Shannon Tweed, a human development major, was elected to the BOD as the College o f A rts and Sciences representative, also missed a retreat due to a death in her family, and she was removed from her position on the BOD. Unlike Patel, Tweed was not reinstated. During the discussion portion o f Patel's appeal, Alan Smith, College o f Education representative, questioned why Patel should be reinstated for missing a retreat due to a family emergency when Tweed was denied reinstatement for the same reason. Erik Roper, ASI vice president o f communications, said his decision to vote against reinstating Tweed was based on his understanding that Tweed was not going to attend the retreat originally because she was going to attend a wedding. Although Roper admitted that his information could be considered hearsay, he felt that Tweed's subsequent family emergency didn't justify [Tweed's] reinstatement because she was going to miss the retreat anyway. When asked what she thought o f Roper's statements at the BOD meeting, Tweed, who was in attendance at the recent BOD meeting, replied that she was "shocked," and added that even though Roper admitted his information was hearsay, " It bothers [her] that no one has asked [her] to tell [her side o f the story]." After the elections in the spring o f 2002, a three-day ASI retreat was scheduled for June, immediately following final exams. According to Patel, the purpose o f the " summer" retreat is for the new BOD members to get to know each other, to set goals, and to learn about their jobs and the ASI organization. Tweed said that she advised Brown that she would miss the retreat because o f an out o f town wedding, and that Brown changed the dates o f the retreat to accommodate Tweed. because the only body that meets over the summer is the executive committee. Brown added that the executive committee makes all o f the decisions until the BOD begins to meet in the fall. Tweed explained she missed the retreat anyway because her grandmother died right before Tweed claims she didn't get a finals. According to Tweed, chance to appeal for reinstateshe left town right after finals. ment, and that Brown agreed to Tweed said she knew she would notify Tweed when she could be removed from the BOD and appeal.

Brown also said that Tweed's appeal was done verbally and that the executive committee voted to reject the appeal and selected a replacement for her last fall. When asked why only the executive committee decided on Tweed's appeal, when Patel's appeal was voted on by the entire BOD, Brown explained it was Brown was asked i f Tweed was treated differently than Patel because the executive committee thought she was lying about the reason she missed the retreat. Brown said, "No, I t hink they were each treated fairly." Brown added, " Their situations were different." When asked how they were different, Brown declined S tudent L ounge f rom Keith Speers, executive director o f ASI, suspects that " the burglary occurred sometime between Monday night and Tuesday morning," because "students were able to play the game fine during the day on Monday, however when someone tried to put it to use late Tuesday morning, the front [had been] disassembled." visited Cal State San Marcos on Wed.

Brown added that she was hesitant to discuss Shannon's case because a lot o f the discussion between them was done privately in closed sessions. Brown did reiterate that the situations o f Tweed and Patel were unrelated. When Tweed was asked i f Patel should have been denied reinstatement, she said, "No. I 'm glad they kept Arti. [Patel] works hard and deserves her position." Tweed explained that she felt she was treated differently from Patel, in part because she " wasn't a part o f [the executive committee] group," because she had run on a different slate than Patel and Brown. However, Brown said, " half o f the voting executive members [did not run] on my slate [either]." Tweed pointed out that " they replaced me with someone who didn't go to the retreat either." Tweed ended by saying, " My teachers were understanding during [the death o f a family member], couldn't the executive committee have been, too?'' p age 1 After acknowledging students' request for a storage area, ASI arranged for the delivery and installation o f 40 pay-to-use lockers.

" I'm glad to know that Crystal [Folk] was thinking about how to make [the lockers] available to the student population I serve," said John Segoria, director o f Disabled Student Services. As a result o f the recent theft and damage done to the property in the ASI lounge, the future o f the lounge is in jeopardy. Keith Speers explained that the responsibility o f protecting the luxuries from destruction lies with the entire campus, saying, "How do we as a community monitor our space so that we can continue to offer these benefits?"

For this reason he founded the Association for the Study o f Negro Life and History (now called the Association for the Study o f Afro-American Life and History) in 1915 to promote the integration o f blacks into history books. Then, in 1916, he founded the widely respected Journal ofNegro History. Already known for his work in the black community, Woodson was far from done. His crowning achievement came in 1926 with the inception o f Negro History Week, the second week in February. The week was chosen because Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln share birthdays during that week. Since this remembrance has been adapted and lengthened to Black History Month, there has been a long running joke that February was selected because it is the shortest month o f the year. The fact remains that there are a number o f significant reasons as to why February remains the month to celebrate AfricanAmerican history: • On Feb. 23, 1868, W.E.B. Dubois, a civil rights leader and co-founder o f the National Association for the Advancement o f Colored People (NAACP), was born. • O n Feb. 3, 1870, the 15th Amendment was passed. This granted black people the right to vote. • On Feb. 25, 1870, Hiram R. Revels took office as the first black Senator in United States History. • On Feb. 12, 1909, the NAACP was founded. • O n Feb. 1, 1960, a group o f black Greensboro, N.C. college students began a sit-in at a segregated Woolworth's lunch counter in what would become a civilrights movement milestone. • O n Feb. 21, 1965, three black Muslims shot the militant black leader who promoted Black Nationalism, Malcolm X, to death. Although Woodson and others like him have helped in the effort to bring neutral, balanced and unbiased records to academia there is still much work to be done. Only with similar continued efforts can the U.S. history be interpreted accurately.

By 1880, Edison had developed the basic technology to record and play back sound. The first phonograph was a device comprised o f a cylinder, wrapped in a sheet o f foil. As Edison spoke a child's poem into a mouthpiece attached to the cylinder, sound waves caused a needle to make dents in the foil. Playback involved merely reversing the operation - and " Mary Had a Little Lamb" became part of the U.S. sound history. In 1885, scientists improved on the design by creating a cardboard cylinder coated in wax. Three o f these wax cylinders contain sounds that have been included in the registry.

McConnell, S ee S OUNDS, page 12 �FEATURE THE.PRIDE er a e By DAVE WERTH Pride Staff Writer There is a special group o f people at Cal State San Marcos. They are international students. These students come from all over the world, in search o f higher education and in hope o f unlimited opportunities. There are approximately 100 full time international students enrolled this semester at CSUSM. Countries as far away as Yemen, Oman, and Greece are represented, along with countries as close as Canada and Mexico. - order to breathe their first fresh breath o f air in America. This feeling o f euphoria dies quickly, and panic sets in when all o f the pre-departure preparations are put to the test. Will there be a place to live? Will I get all my classes? Questions such as these may plague the students' minds for weeks. Although a scenario like this may not be the case for every international student, it gives some insight into what obstacles must be overcome when traveling around the world to receive higher education. Traveling over these great distances to vacation is comprehendible to most students, but imagine what it would be like to travel half way around the world to attend school for an extended period o f time. Takashi Sasaki, who has participated in several international student programs in the U.S., shares many o f the same feelings o f frustration and stress expressed in this fictional portrayal. "The language and everyday life are the most difficult," said Sasaki. Upon getting off o f the airplane, after a twenty hour flight, many international students may feel that their eyes have gotten so blurry that they can barely read the signs directing them where to go. I t may don upon her/him that, although they have a fairly good grasp on the English language, the option to speak in their native language is no longer available. The reality o f the situation is that international students now have to eat, sleep, and speak English every minute o f every day. "The most simple tasks such as setting up a bank account, or going grocery shopping, sometimes end up to be the most difficult thing to do," said Sasaki. He also remarked that everyday life was only a portion o f the problems that international students face. In many instances, financial matters and immigration regulations can be the biggest bump in the road for international students. They can most likely expect a wonderful greeting from the infamously unfriendly U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (I.N.S.). An intense interrogation, in English, with an inspector usually leads to a frenzy o f stamping, stapling, folding, and more stamping of immigration documents. On most occasions, it is to the delight o f the international student that they are informed o f the processing fees, and a secondary inspection, where the student's bags will be t om open and searched vigorously. Usually, after spending a considerable amount o f time repacking all o f their extremely personal items, international students finally will get the chance to step out of the front doors o f the terminal, in When asked why he chooses to continue to stay in the U.S., Sasaki said that the experience was a once in a lifetime chance, and the people and opportunities available are unlike anywhere else in the world. I t is this uniquely positive attitude that often keeps international students from being deterred b y the ofistacles that often come up while working toward a degree in a foreign country. Danielle McMartin, who has been the international advisor for CSUSM's Global Affairs Office for two and h alf years, is all too familiar with the problems that an international student will inevitably face. Me Martin has been working in the field o f student affairs for a total o f 15 years. Tuesday, February 1 8,2003 5 a • I She remarked that like American students, international students face the same worries o f getting all o f their classes, achieving good grades, and graduating as quickly as possible. However, she also notes the differences that set international students in a league o f their own. Since the events o f 9/11, rules and regulations have become even more strict. The I.N.S. now operates a computer-based system called SEVIS, which requires educational institutions to report the status o f all o f their foreign students. Additionally, the I.N.S. implemented tighter restrictions "There is a lot o f family pressure on on foreign students studying within the international students," said Me Martin.

For most international students, a major challenge can be to live within the rules and regulations set forth by the I.N.S. Most intematioJ_?.al students in the U.S. are permitted to study and live here, based on the fact that they obtain an F-1 Visa. This visa requires that students must keep a full time status at their school, which is 12 units or more, complete their course o f study i n a given amount o f time, and at no time work off o f the school campus. As San Marcos grows, the Global Affairs department and the international student population will also grow. When asked what some o f the hopes and goals were for the International Program at CSUSM, McMartin responded, "We are always hoping for more international students, and now that we have th<: ,housing, somewhere down the line l would like t o see a n International Center, a place that international students could call their own."

Is There Liberal Bias At Cal State San Marcos? By JAMAL SCARLETT Pride StaffWriter says, "Liberal bias on campus has always been a problem. Liberal bias blurs the values and morals that our parents taught us as they raised us. Liberal bias descends under the guise o f 'tolerance' for all, except those who disagree with it. Instead o f being givep. an education, we are indoctrinated. CSUSM senior communication major, Anna Hall, expressed a similar sentiment stating, " The problem [with] liberal bias is that no one sees the conservative side o f things, only the liberal." In the past weeks, parents and students alike have leveled charges o f liberal bias at UCSD and some o f its faculty members. These charges include the claim that UCSD is indoctrinating the students with a liberal ideology, and telling them what to think, act, and feel about certain legislation. Closer to home, investigation into the subject o f liberal bias at Cal State San Marcos has uncovered a predictable difference in opinSome students say they have ion, with some students claiming they are told what to think, while never experienced liberal bias in the classroom, but still feel that it others see no bias at all. exists.

One question though. .. what were students before they entered college? I mean, i f they are "free thinkers" only after they graduate college, what were they when they were not in college? Were they ''un-free thinkers?" How do I know that the professors have not graded me down simply because I don't agree with their 'free thought'?'~ I n a Jan. 21 San Diego Union Tribune article, UCSD student Brandon Woodward claimed that he has learned to reflect his professor's views after a paper he wrote against abortion, for a required ethics course, was picked apart b y his professor. Woodward claimed that he rewrote it with a pro-choice stance and received an A, and added, "With school and papers, you learn to write what the teachers want to hear." There are 9ther students who disagree with this position. CSUSM Sociology m~jor Drew members o f its faculty, students, and staff in both curricular and cocurricular activities." Niedenthal, a member o f the Progressive Activist Network said, "There is a lack o f interest in the liberal position and a leaning toward the conservative." Sociology major Kunta Jones agreed and stated that it was " a contradictory question, [considering] that we call ourselves a 'democratic' society." While many students believe that liberal bias on college campuses is a threat to their academic freedom, one o f the core values found in the CSUSM catalogue is academic freedom. Professors and students alike are entitled to full freedom in their research, but professors have to give an acceptable performance in the classroom, according to university standards. CSUSM believes that, "education depends upon the free expression and exchange o f ideas in the search for truth. Academic freedom is the freedom to express any view, popular or unpopular, and to defend that point o f view in open exchange. The university supports freedom o f speech, in~ ru;td ~x~~~si?D f or ·.all . .. . ~ The question o f liberal bias has professors apprehensive about answering the question o f liberal bias. Communication professor Michael Huspek commented, "The question 'is there liberal bias on campus at CSU San Marcos?' itself was biased and what should be asked is, 'What counts as academic freedom?"' Arts and Sciences professor David Avalos gave a similar response by stressing the importance o f academic freedom. Avalos said, "Academic freedom is dependent upon free speech and its free exposition and is not limited to any personal agenda." Mark Appelbaum, a professor at UCSD, explained his position by saying he wanted to "make sure students understand that faculty members have opinions.

Glassner proposes that Americans, unable to face up to German aggression and anti-Semitism, Japanese imperialism and domestic economic -problems, projected these fears onto anonymous alien invaders. Likewise, Glassner believes that modern Americans, seemingly unable to resolve issues such as child poverty, inadequate healthcare, unsafe conditions for workers, flagrant disparities i n income between rich and poor, and a myriad o f o ther real problems, project their fears onto murdering pre-teens, sadistic co-workers, dangerous minorities and other chimeras. This sublimation and projection o f real fears is not harmless. As a result o f focusing on specters, the aforementioned real problems go largely unaddressed. People die from preventable and treatable illnesses, children are raised in squalor, and young men with the wrong skin color languish in prison. The tragic events o f9/ll perhaps make Glassner's book even more apropos. As horrible as 9/11 was, the fact is ten times as many people are killed every year i n automobile accidents, and calls for more racial profiling and fewer restrictions o n government law enforcement agencies with a n esta~lished h istory o f indifference to civil liberties gives one pause.

Photos by Diana Cabuto and M ilton R odriguez. By DIANA K. CABUTO Pride Staff Writer From traditional Korean dance to modem to ballet, 40 dancers, both male and female o f the Korean National University o f A rts (KNUA), demonstrated to be an appropriate opener for the new theatre at the Arts Building o f Cal State San Marcos on Wednesday Feb. 12 at 6 p.m. Beginning with a Korean scarf dance, Salpuri, (free from "sal") which literally means to free one from all calamitous events like death and illnesses. The performers captured the audience's attention with a peaceful traditional Korean Dance with delicate hand and feet movements - an introduction to more and more delightful surprises that were about to come. The second piece on the program was La Esmeralda, a ballet based on a novel written by Victor Hugo in 1831, and directed for KNUA by Kim Hae Shik. The third piece, called What's going on? is a modem dance piece choreographed by Joun Mi Sook. This piece was described as an interpretation o f "love, wrath, envy, pleasure and hatred" where all these emotions are "vanishing in vain." Starting with an empty stage and one man trying to stand still with dozens o f baseballs, the setting turned into a platform o f passing, rolling and biting between men, women, and the baseballs. The KNUA describes this piece as, "There is unknown tension.

The boycott was to begin February 12 and would continue until three specific demands had been met: that Pepsi issues an apology to Ludacris and to the hip-hop culture, that the soda company donates 5 million to the Ludacris Foundation, a non-profit organization, .and that the commercial be reinstated. One day before the beginning o f the boycott Pepsi announced that they would donate five million dollars to Ludacris's non-profit organization. Pepsi is currently looking into meeting the rest o f their demands. On Wed. February 61h Hip-Hop mogul Russell Simmons was steaming mad after Pepsi's most recent ad which featured "The Fowl Mouth Family o f Darkness." The outspoken conservative Bill O'Reilly caused uproar over Pepsi's partnering with Atlanta's hip-hop Superstar Ludacris. O'Reilly blasted Pepsi for doing business with what he calls, " a thug rapper who espouses violence, intoxication and degrading conduct toward women." No more than twenty-four hours later Pepsi announced that Ludacris would be dropped from the ad as a spokesperson and apologized to anyone who was offended by the company's association· with him. Despite Pepsi's research findings that teens connected with the rap Superstar as much as any other celebrity that had been associated with Pepsi in the past, the With rap on the lips o f almost every teenad was still shelved. ager today, it is understandable how this children who cannot even make it past ' the eleventh grade, and a father whose speech is arguably by some considered English.

God thwarted their plans by confounding their language: that is, He gave them different languages, so they would not understand each other. No common language, no clear communication, no understanding- no tower. According to Rep. John Doolittle (R-Calif.), Michigan offers its driving test i n 2 0 different languages; and there are dozens o f languages spoken i n t he Chicago school system. Immigrants are flooding into the U.S., seeking a better life, asylum from political turmoil, a place to hide, or frighteningly, i n some cases, a p lace from which to base terrorist activities. It's time to make English the official language o f the U nited States. T his is not a divisive move intended to deny cultures a n o pportunity to thrive i n o ur melting pot. It makes sense for so many reasons. home, they must act as translators for their parents and grandparents.

But when the kids come she caught up to her classmates i n a s hort time. I f English is spoken consistently at home and at school, the entire family will benefit. This is not to say that the original language should never b e spoken. O n t he contrary, I've spoken with people who are first generation Americans, and they remember clearly that their parents' native language was never spoken at home. The parents wanted to encourage assimilation, and often never spoke o f t he " Old Country." I t d oesn't have t o b e t hat way. I know a woman from Colombia who is married to a Native American. Their two-year-old is bi-lingual. He has a terrific head start i n o ur international country. Finally, a working knowledge o f English is imperative for new citizens to b e educated "consumers" o f o ur democratic way oflife. America is a representative government, and certainly the Kurds and French and Viet Namese are n ot represented well i f they can't understand what's going on. They have earned the right to vote by becoming citizens, and i n order to exercise that right thoughtfully and intelligently, they must be able to read for themselves about the issues and the candidates. It would b e fairly easy for them to b e misled by b ad translations, or unethical translators. O ne language unites. Good, clear communication doesn't deny diversity. Fluency doesn't mean acculturation, although that may be inevitable i n successive generations. Common language invites discussion and dissention. O ur c ountry was founded on the often-heated exchange o f ideas. I n o rder for new citizens to become active, responsible participants, we mush share a common language. To legislate for a legal common language is not to divide, but to unite. T he B achelorette: V Vhc:> I !S B y J ULIE MYRES Pride S taff Writer What 4o you. wa!ch o n Wednesday nights?

Yes, I k now some o f you are probably thinking that I have no life and that I a m some single female with hopes to b e t he next bachelorette. B e assured, I watch this for pure entertainment value only. A nd no, I don't take notes or dream o f being given the final rose at the rose ceremony o f The Bachelor! " The Bachelorette" is a followup show to " The Bachelor," <:;~tti.-.g which was created b y ABC. The show consists o f seven episodes viewed one episode every week, with a cast o f 25 males and one female, Trista (the bachelorette). During this time, there are many opportunities, activities, a nd special dates where the bachelorette gets the chance to get up close and personal with the bachelors. Then, at the end o f e ach episode, she picks a pre-determined number o f the bachelors to move onto the next round by offering them a rose as a token o f h er choice. I would never go o n national television and think that I would find someone that I would m arry after knowing them for a few weekS. The idea o f " The Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" was a novel idea that many thought of, but few dared to take love to this level until a year ago when the first season o f " The Bachelor" was aired. Competition exists and fights for favor with the demographic o f those looking for love, entertainment, and j ust a good laugh.

I know marriage shows include: " Who Wants To M arry A Millionaire" and "Bachelorettes i n Alaska." These shows attempted to gain audiences favor with sexy, skinny, and sometimes skanky women and hot, buff, t an men. I n m y opinion, people need a longer amount o f t ime together to really get to know each other and to see i f they are even compatible enough for long-term dating. I also feel people will meet someone compatible enough to date i n everyday life, not at some cattle call television show that gathers the hottest looking guys and gals to exploit for high ratings. The question is: would you go on one o f these reality television relationship shows?

Is there any place that doesn't reek o f old food? Due to shoulder problems and a heavy book load, m y m ain focus thus far has been to find close parking places and elevators. I think I've found most o f them. My next project was to 5 nd a suitable place to study. First, I went to the Dome. The oppressive odor o f b urritos and cheese pizza was unavoidable because o f the food court, but at least I knew where to find the Dome, and I knew I could probably get a seat. Have you sat i n those chairs? The bistro-style may b e visually appealing, and they must have been cheap to buy i n large quantities, but they are a chiropractor's dream. Only supermodels and ten-year-olds could sit comfortably for any length o f time. The glare from the white walls and the strobe effect o f t he fluorescent overhead lighting gave me a headache. After giving it the old college t ry for over an hour, I gave up and took o ff i n search o f more comfortable digs. I have a Tuesday morning class and a Tuesday evening class, so being the high-intensity overachiever I am, I decided to stay on campus for the almost five hours i n b etween classes. M y p lan was t o do homework and catch up on reading for other classes, both o f M y next stop was the library. which require comfortable chairs. I hauled my bag down the stairs, which I paid for later i n shoul- der and back pain, and looked for a place to sit. There were a few chairs at a rectangular table and several computer stations. I settled at a computer and tended to some on-line work. I was done in a short while and had no interest i n monopolizing a computer to s urf or check e-mail. I could have tried to navigate the stairs, but with the load o f books I pull behind me, I couldn't have made it. Besides, I didn't want to explain to the student at the desk why I needed the special card to access the handicap elevator. So, I moved on. I saw the signs last semester for the Associated Students, Inc. lounge, so I stepped inside. I pushed through the choking stench from the microwaved Hot Pockets to explore. The furniture looked ratty and not clean, but my Bachelorette" show to b e entertained? A nd the real question on everyone's mind, " Who is going to get the rose, Ryan o r C harlie?"

FOLK Pride StaffWriter I f memory serves me correctly, within the pages o f The Pride, there were several extremely critical opinion submissions from ASI president, Jocelyn Brown, explaining the importance and necessity o f attending all required ASI retreats. Her submission outlined in detail the weight attached to such retreats and described an elected representatives' lackofattendance as negligent and detrimental to the entire student body. Her letters were in response to an opinion piece from fellow student Steve Compian, who directed frustrations at the ASI board for denying Shannon Tweed the opportunity to carry out her duties as the elected College o f Arts and Sciences Representative. Shannon missed the weeklong summer retreat due to the death o f a close relative and had to attend to her family responsibilities.

The United States will be going to war with Iraq, against the wishes o f the U N and o f millions o f American people. An unprecedented peace movement is beginning, one which is mobilizing before the war even starts. This is a little heartening to me. The protests aren't going to do anything, and the protestors have to know it. But, people are still trying to make their voices heard. That's one good thing that might come o f it, a return to dissent and the refusal to just go along with public policy. The government is likely asking itself why such a peace movement is starting. The war isn't going to be fought here. No occupying army will march through our streets. Our system o f government and way o f life won't b e changed when it's over. O ur cities won't be bombed - at least not by the Iraqi government, though terrorist actions will almost certainly increase as a result o f this war and the increased American presence in the Middle East. There will likely not be a military draft, and there won't even be any new taxes to help pay for this war. At least not right away. The Bush administration seems to be going out o f its way to make sure that we won't have to unduly suffer for a war our country will be involved in.

We tend to People are still opposed to it. think o f every Arab as a jihad crazed fanatic, eager for a chance to kill Americans. They can't be; anymore than every American is a fat, complacent cowboy. They have families, homes, a way o f life that will b e t om apart by this war. And i f you can't have any sympathy for the losses they are soon to endure, at least fear the retribution they and their allies will harbor towards us. They say that Iraq will be rebuilt, much the way that Germany and Japan were after World War II. I hope I'm wrong, but I feel that the puppet government that will b e controlled by the oil hungry Americans will be seen by the rest o f the world as neo-colonialism, not democracy. Military enforced democracy is not democracy. Again, this doesn't have to be about Iraq. I would feel this way were we at war with North Korea or Afghanistan. I wonder how the people i n Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, and Kosovo managed to pick up and start over after the damage done to them. I feel for the wrecked landscape o f India and Pakistan as they fight each other, for the Russians and the Chechnians. And I feel sorrow for the American families that have and will suffer losses, in this war and in others. This is really about all the wars that have been fought before and those that peace movements will fail to stop in the future. The thing I hate about warfare is the way that it disrupts ordinary life. We - all o f us, not just Americans - deserve a chance to live in our homelands free o f the destruction that war brings. Do innocents in so-called enemy countries have to be victims to our political games? I want to end this with a quote I first read in high school, that seemed then and now to sum up my feelings on war. The words are from the peace activist Reverend Harry Emerson, from 1937, and they didn't stop the coming second world war. " I renounce war for its consequences, for the lies it lives on and propagates, for the undying hatred it arouses, for ' the dictatorships it puts in place o f democracy, for the starvation that stalks after it. There are things worse than war, and war brings all o fthem." E am $ 1,000 • A ,OOO for y our S tudent Group in just 3 hours! College fundra1smg made S imple, S afe and F ree .

Dear Editors: My heart goes out to the families and friends o f those lost in the Columbia tragedy. The PLS publishes student w ntmg from all academic disciplines pursued at CSUSM and gives students a chance to publish critical and theoretical writing, creative writing, as well as a wide variety o f visual art. I n reading the February I I th edition o f The Pride, I was disappointed by a letter written in regards to the dangers o f the Space Shuttle program. My response to his question is: YES, I T IS WORTH IT! The author does not seem to understand the adventurous spirit behind exploration. The astronauts knew the risks and accepted them. I nstructions/ Submission G uidelines The PLS considers manuscripts o f up to 3 000 words that exemplify both excellent inquiry and research i n t heir discipline(s) and that enable readers from outside that discipline to read with pleasure and understanding. Authors should avoid highly technical language, critical jargon, foreign, or mathematical language. When technical terms are essential, they should b e explained to the reader. References to critical literature, where necessary, should b e parenthetical. APA, MLA, Chicago, and all other formats are welcome as long as the paper represents the appropriate academic discipline. I f we travel back through time, we find many explorers who took enormous risks such as Columbus and Lewis & Clark and many others. Where would we be as a world society i f mankind did not explore? Every person on this earth explores in their own way, it may be through school, it may be on trekking through Europe, and it may be taking a journey into space, whatever the voyage is, it is worth every bit o f the expenditure i f i t is for the right reasons. Granted no loss o f life is acceptable, but w e also cannot hide in our homes because something might happen to us as we walk down the street let alone to our car or any other means o f transportation we might be using. Taking risks is an integral part ofliving, and unfortunately so is dying. We have to LIVE while we have the opportunity!

The center, sponsored by associated student, offers child care for children of CSUSM students as well as other in the community. It runs five sessions daily. The first begins at 6:15 A.M. and the last one ends at 6 PM. Prices range from $12.25 to $19.25 per day, roughly 2 0 percent less than comparable day care centers.

The goal of providing affordable child care for students, staff, and faculty has been a dream ever since the university admitted its first student in 1989. But translating that dream into reality has been a slow process. Creating a day care center was one of Darlene Willis' first directives when she took the job of executive director of associated students. Much discussion had taken place on the best way to establish the center, she discovered, but little had been done. Enter the Associated Students. With $ 29,000 from its reserves, A.S. found the existing child care center on Gosnell Way, which w as o n the market, arranged to lease the building on a yearto-year basis. "This A.S. board is to be commended for its efforts," said Willis, adding that 25 percent of every dollar collected by AS in student fees is allocated for day care. Prior to the center's conception 15 individual s cholarships of $ 500 were given to students to offset the cost of childcare. This money now will help support the Early Learning Center.

The building, tentatively named International Hall, still is scheduled to open in mid-August for the fall semester classes. The storms also failed to dampen the spirits of school officials, who are eagerly anticipating the extra space Building 15 will provide to the cramped university. "We're looking forward to the future. The weather hasn't pushed us off our summer occupancy," said Russ Decker, CSUSM's director of Planning, Design and Construction. According to Decker, the 7 1,000square-foot building will accommodate 1,000-1,200 students, and will contain four new computer labs, a foreign language lab and two broadcast rooms. It also will house faculty offices for the College of Education and the departments of psychology, computer science and foreign language.The only weather-related problems for the building this semester have been minor, according to Bob Boyer, construction su- still on schedule perintendent. Rain, for example, delayed fabrication of the concrete panels that make up the exterior walls of the building, which set the final completion date back about two weeks, from June 24 to mid-July. But Decker said the mid-August grand opening would not be affected. The walls on the three-story, rear section of Building 15 are in place and about 3 0 percent of the roof has been finished. Boyer said he the entire roof should be in place, and the rear section watertight, by the middle of February. The four-story,frontsection is still without walls, but Boyer said he hopes they will be up by the beginning of March. Once the walls are finished, the roof on thefrontsection should be completed within two weeks. What if El Nino continues its current rampage? "We're keeping an eye out, but we have plans to handle it," Decker said. The IR plans include making up lost time by accelerating work on the interior of the building (which is already ahead of schedule), and possibly moving some of the faculty and equipment into the rear section of the building while the front is finished, he added. Independent study courses leave students hanging B Y JENIFER J AFFE T" ast month a the SMART system surprised a hand JL-Jful of students on campus when it informed them they would receive credit or nocredit, instead of a letter grade, for winter term independent study classes. Debbie Holderby, a literature and writing major, was among the students who didn't realize that literature and writing independent study courses are now designated as credit/ no-credit according to t he CSUSM 9 7-98 catalog, she# said. After listening to the SMART system, Holderby remarked that she thought the course she paid over $ 300.00 for was useless. According to both the CSUSM 96-97, and the 97-98 catalogs, students working towards a Bachelor of Arts in literature and writing studies cannot take a course required for their major c redit/nocredit.

Renee Curry, the department head of literature and writing, said in an e-mail the department will meet next week and over tji<e semester to farther discuss the matter. �New cafe affords students the luxury of choice Y k A College Degree and no plans? Bccome o 1 on't turn the corner too fast because you could l niss it. Maybe you've noticed Power Surge Cafe as you've passed the intersection of Barham and Twin Oaks Drive on your way to school. But more and more CSUSM students are finding that it's worth more than a look. Better yet, many say, they're discovering that it's a place of their own. Owner Mark DuBois understands. He graduated from CSUSM himself two years ago. "I feel a resposibility to give some of that back to the community." says Dubois. "I feel like I owe the university a huge debt because my education was so incredible. The instructors really care about you as a person and don't look at you as a number." As a result, Dubois has offered his cafe as a venue for several university activities, " We're starting to do local music on Friday night," he says. "On March 23, one of the literature and writing classes is going to be performing poetry at noon." Adds employee Rachel Harris: "You see people who are so psyched to be here and so excited about how it's going to change. Hey, this is going to be really cool. There's great ideas and people. "There's really nothing else in this whole college area. Just to have a home base where students thi&^Hege f r^^ or SDSU%the?fact that it is small and more intimate. This place is so North County." "There's a different feel. San Marcos has culture. This is just another extension of that." With a view of the college and nearby location, Harris says, "We're building the foundations for the college area." . CSUSM teachers also are finding a home at Power Surge. "The faculty has been so supportive," DuBois says. "They've had all kinds of meetings down v WmNwm* here: Administration, Counseling, Financial Aid. To me, the neat thing is that it's a mixing ground between the university and community. Our customers are truckers, cab drivers, students and homemakers." For students who find the choice between the bustle and noise of the university cafeteria and the dark quietude of the library equally uninspiring, Power Surge Cafe offers an atmosphere fall of daylight and a unique decorative style. A large antique map of the world and other paintings, including a modern work by a CSUSM student, adorn the walls. Employees bring their own CDs to provide background music. "We don't just want to get you in, then get you out," Harris says. Power Surge will soon open an adjoining room that will house six computers, providing Internet access to interested students. The $6 price per hour is half of what Kinko's and other cyber cafes charge. Power Surge offers a full espresso bar and reasonably priced coffee (75 cents, $1 and $1.25), plus lunch deals with quality meats and cheeses ($3 for a sandwich, chips and pickle). It also offers quiches and lunch croissants with ham and cheese or turkey and feta. A variety of pastries includes standbys such as cinnamon rolls and various croissants and more unique selections, such . as th^-'Mogkey Bar" (banana and chocolate chip), cappuccmoiar, chocolate wipetfut cake and white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. For breakfast eaters not into sweets, there's cereal with milk ($1.50) and juice. Fresh smoothies will be on the menu soon, DuBois says. "We're trying to keep our prices down to cater to students," says Harris. "A lot of us here are students. We know how hard it is." Power Surge is open weekdays from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. ^ I Lawyer's Assistant B Y A M Y M ESTER | > The UNIVERSITY Of SAM DIEGO, offers an Intensive ABA Approved poet graduate 14 week LAWYER'S ASSISTANT PROGRAM.

But, not many JL JLknow what a tukwut is. And even fewer know how to pronounce it. The CSUSM logo provides the best hint, and, as most people suspect when they see it, a tukwut is indeed a mountain lion.In a recent random survey on campus, few knew anything more, other than it was an Indian term. Most pronouriced it in either of two ways: "too cute" and "tuck qwat."Where did it come from? Like a lot of terms, from the Indians.According to a brief but interesting history prepared by Mark A. Macarro, tukwut... pronounced "took woot" ... is a Luisen~o Indian term for the California mountain lion. The Luisen~o tribe, or Payomkawichum, as its members call themselves, originally inhibited the area along the Southern California coast from Encinitas to Las Flores in Camp Pendleton and inland to Palomar Mountain and southwest Riverside County. B Y R EBECCA W A R N E The Luisen~o believe that they have lived in the region since the beginning of time. Their history records l ife beginning in the Temucula Valley long before the Spanish land grant settlers. When CSUSM was founded, an elder of the tribe was consulted to help select the mascot... partially to honor the indigenous people of the region but also in keeping with the university's commitment to diversity. �Alternative grading system could benefit students and teachers alike B Y LESLIE P EARNE ^ T A "THiat if a u niversity % / % / d idn't g ive l etter ¥ Y grades? What if students were measured by detailed, written evaluations that explained strengths and weaknesses and specified goals that must be met? That might make a lot of students happy. Indeed, a number of CSUSM s tudents indicate that the present system of letter grades isn't necessarily what they prefer. Rya Anderson, a senior majoring in Liberal Studies, s aid s he w ould w elcome CSUSM's adopting a writtenevaluation g rading s ystem. "That's good, because s ometimes students put a lot of e ffort into a class, but have low test scores. If the effort goes unnoticed, then t he grade i s based on the numbers," s he added. Diane Nesser, a senior majoring in Literature and Writing, said she'd like a better explanation of how she performed in a class than a letter grade provides. "Feedback allows one to look back o n their strengths and weaknesses. It also explains why one may receive a plus or minus, instead of a straight B or C," she added. UC-Santa Cruz, which u ses t he w ritten-evaluation grading method, is now in the process of changing it to a dual procedure. Students will receive letter grades, necessary for transferring and/or graduate school applications, along with the written evaluation. Both students and professors have commented that the system gives the university more of a low-pressure, less competitive e nvironment, b ecause there is no GPA. Dr. L eslie Z omalt, CSUSM's coordinator of advising, called the written-evaluation process "very difficult," because it's hard to convert to such an assessment at a university t hat s olely u ses l etter g rades. "This i s n ot t o t he student's advantage, especially w hen a pplying t o g raduate schools," she added. Many administrators say implementing a new grading process is overly time-consuming. But, Dr. Sue Fellows, a professor in the Literature a nd W riting D epartment counters that it can be accomplished in a less laborious manner. "During the first week of the semester, students and professors should have conferences," she suggests. "No actual class meetings." "This would allow for students to fully understand what is expected from them and what they can expect from the professor." Fellows says student/ professor communication can be strengthened by the written evaluation, and adds, "Written evaluations are a more personalized and d etailed way t o grade." Michael Stary, a graduate student in Literature and Writing, said he would like to see CSUSM adopt a system similar to UC-Santa Cruz's proposed two-step method. "Written evaluations would work h ere b ecause t hey work at UCSC. We could model a process after theirs," he added. "It is hard for graduate programs to determine your background when applying and a written evaluation would give a detailed explanation on your academic career." CSUSM o fficials stressed that there are no plans in the works for changing the current grading system, but pointed out that the nine-year university is still young, offering students the opportunity to help mold and shape it in the future. - oppwt^ities ; d p i ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ F i : ^ ' t he;JJniversity IlKiliMfei^^Bife feslfcitia^ii^^Hi S cience continued from page 3 "The k ids l oved it.

Sound too good to be true? Meet Dr. Renee Curry, who became program director for the Literature and Writing D epartment at the beginning of the spring semester. Her duties include developing a s chedule, matching faculty e xpertise w ith that s chedule and working with the Dean to fine tune any administrative b umps in the road. Curry, who has worked in Literature and Writing for seven years, s aid s he w elcomed t he opportunity to be involved in the a dministrative s ide of t he d epartment. "My career is set up so that I never have to choose something awful," she said. "My choices are something wonderful A or something wonderful B." Directorship of the department is rotated generally every two or three years. Curry t ook over f rom Ken Mendoza. aI really believe in the democratic system," she said. "I really believe in turn-taking, and after seven years it is more than my turn." As a result of student feedback and a story in the Pride last semester, Curry said s he p lans t o build more night classes into the Literature and Writing schedule. She stressed that the department has an open-door policy that encourages student involvement. "The advisors, Lora Coad and Leslie Zomalt, let us know what the students want," she added. "One of the ways we can tell, for instance, i s by the courses that get crashed. Typically, students end up in Advising requesting a particular course at a particular time. The advising folks let us know." Curry h as two areas of focus in the coming months. The first is to get the fall 1998 schedule in order. "My goal is to provide desired courses and course times so that Lit-Writing students can get t heir d egrees," she emphasized. The other is to provide mentoring, for the department's professors. "The amount of paperwork t hat p rofessors s ift through is mindnumbing," she said, adding that she hopes to help guide them into desired grants and research areas. Curry said she is proud of the students in the department. "Lit-writing students love to read," she said. "We are the only people left on the planet who on any given weekday take time to ourselves to read." Lit-writing students are the last remaining vestige of what it really means to be a true intellectual... which is to read. As soon as we give up reading, that to me, is going to be the beginning of the end of a type of intellectualism. "Not that there aren't other types. I'm heavily involved in technology and computers. But I think that if we give up reading, something very important will be gone. Lit-writing students refuse to give that up." performs in Escoridido ,'U: r E seoiidldb; C A~Tbe t r a d e m a r k g e s t u r e s o f t h i s g reat F repcli ,;mime a r$ g raceful a nd p oetic; t hey a re a t estament t o t he p hysical d i s c i p l i n e ^ ? a t rue m aster* M arcel M arceau i s f ull o f e n e r g y a n d <$*iite c apable o f d rawing u n d i v i d e d a ttention f rom a n . audience o f a ll a ges at, t he,California C enter f o r t he A rts, E scondido T u e s d a y , r ^ - f V ,"!Marceati'can sa^r morie w ith o ne e yebrow o r o ne r ipple o f h is f ingers t han s o m e s ay V i t h tfiieir e ntire b odies.

The center has seven classrooms for children between the ages of 2 to Kindergarten. It is licensed to care for up to 52 kids at a time. Its staff of nine ranges in experiencefromseven to 17 years. The student-teacher ratio is about 7 to 1 for 2-year-olds and 10 or 12 to 1 for the older children. Linda Conde, a native Californian, moved back to the state to take the position of center director. As a teacher at a community college in Florida, she made a presentation on school readiness at a conference of the National Association of Educators of Young Children (NAEYC) in Anaheim when she learned of the CSUSM position. Conde, who has 2 0 years experience and a masters degree in Early Childhood from the University of San Francisco, is also a former educational coordinator for the federal Head Start program. Conde says she is proud that her staff s qualifications exceed those mandated by the California State Matrix. Conde said a typical day at the center "varies between active and quiet play." Sharing, music stories, painting and puppets are just a few of the activities. There is also naptime or quiet time for those who don't nap. Conde has many goals for the center. She hopes to get involved in the state-funded food program to help parents with low incomes. Currently, parents are required to pack a lunch for their children. She also wants to take the center through the NAEYC's training program, which she calls an "exemplary" effort involving both teachers and parents. Because the center was an existing facility, many of its children have no ties to the university. Conde said she hopes to increase the number of university families there from the present 38 percent to more than 50 percent. Conde said she also would like to involve the campus community as much as possible with the center, and is hoping for support from student organizations. Plans are underway for a VIP readers day with faculty selecting books and reading to the children. The Psychology Department has expressed interest in utilizing the center to give its students an opportunity to observe and learn about early child development. Interested parents should call Conde at (760) 7 45-4999 for more information. Availability is limited, but Conde said every effort will be made to accommodate students. In the meantime, plans have been made to paint the inside of the center on Feb. 28. Anyone wishing to volunteer his or her services should contact Associated Students.

Cal Poly Pomona, UCSD and San Diego State," said Mitchell. "We visited other n ew c ampus h ousing p rojects at Pepperdine and Loyola Marymount. We were able to see them even before the students had moved in. Review plans were submitted." The recommendations submitted called for a non-traditional approach to campus housing. According to Mitchell, students today prefer more privacy and would like single rooms. They also would prefer small private bathrooms as opposed to the communal shower rooms that are standard in most dorms." The trend favors suites or apartments," Mitchell said. "We would initially start out with 3 00-400 beds." Until then, there are the Islands, an apartment complex in San Marcos leasing 23 units to the school under a special agreement. Students pay user fees to the housing office, which in turn pays their rent, utilities, and provides furniture. Some 8 0 students currently live there, with most sharing a bedroom with another s tudent. Mitchell acknowledges that the arrangement is somewhat untraditional, saying, "I think we have to realize that it's not the ideal situation. It's temporary and that's the way it was meant to be. We have tried to make it as close to traditional campus housing as possible. But they share the complex with tenants who are not students. The apartments are in close proximity to each other, but it's not like we have our own area." The target date for on-campus housing remains elusive. The most significant roadblock is funding. Housing programs are required to be self-supporting and generally do not receive funds from the school. The user fees collected from the Islands students pay a portion of her office's budget, Mitchell says, adding, "The salaries of t he three f ull-time housing staffers is supported by the state. We probably need a minimum of 250 students to kick off our own housing program." > And Mitchell believes that the interest level will be sufficient to make on- campus h ousing viable w ithin f ive years. As the campus grows in enrollment, Mitchell expects the most interest from first-year students, easily the largest group on campus at 6 0 percent of the student population. The second largest student group, transfer students, would likely be interested as well. "On campus housing serves as a transition for new students to the university," Mitchell said. "Research over the last 20 years shows that students who live in university housing for at least their first year have higher grades, are more likely to on to graduate school, are more likely to graduate in less time than those living off campus, and will be more likely to enjoy their college experience." Mitchell said the presence of on-campus housing will change the environment of the university as well. A residential program would make the university central to a student's life. "That's particularly tough on this campus because we are still very young," she said." We don't have a student union. There are no ideal places for students to hang out on campus. It's part of the educational experience to network with and support other students who are like minded. It's a place to develop as a person, socially and educationally. It's a great place to learn how to get along with people different from themselves." On-campus housing also adds the benefit of attracting out-of-town students. It's a matter of convenience, according to Mitchell. Students would be able to live in a safe familiar environment rather than search for housing in strange, unfamiliar communities. But she also hopes that on-campus housing will appeal to local students, too. Anticipated fees are impossible to predict at this stage. Seemingly they would have to help defray the cost of the land, construction and, later, upkeep and maintenance of the buildings. Mitchell said she cannot predict whether fees would be comparable to those paid by students at the Islands, but added, "Our goal is to have housing at the best possible price for students."

B Y D EBBIE H OLDERBY T ^ I ducation through the s enses. M That's the goal of CSUSM's Arts JL-jf& Lecture Series. Far from being just entertainment, the series is a learning experience as well. It o ffers e vents h ighlighting artists, performers and lecturers in all disciplines. "It's not just art," says Bonnie Biggs, assistant to the dean of Library Services and coordinator for the s eries. The lectures seek to "link the d isciplines, including m athematics and psychology," s he said, adding, "The adventure of discovery should involve more than books." This semester, the series will offer 3 0 events, ranging from an AIDS documentary on Feb. 2 3 t o m usic from Zydeco Blues Patrol in April. On March 4, it will feature works from artists Renee Cox and Yong Soon Min, which, Biggs said, "have been viewed as somewhat controversial." She added, "A lot of the faculty see the events as an opportunity to enhance instruction," explaining that some members often bring their classes to the performances and lectures. After t he p resentations, 7 0 percent of the artists and lecturers visit classrooms, Biggs said, to "interact with the students one-on- one." T he CSUSM f aculty i s i nvolved in the selection process, said Biggs, and some of the events in the Arts & Lecture Series are sponsored in p artnership w ith t he California Center for the Arts, Eseondido. The artists and lecturers often give presentations at the Eseondido Center as well as the university. The events are open to the public.

An ongoing art exhibit in the CSUSM. Library, "Bells and Whistles Sidetracked in the Library," seeks to engage a visitor's senses through visual, kinesthetic and aural interaction. The artists of the exhibit, Richard Keely and Anna O'Cain, o pened their collaborative project on Friday Feb 7.0'Cain is a professor in CSUSM's V isual a nd P erforming A rts Department.One part of the exhibit features a curtained box that invites visitors inside. Once there, they may peer t hrough p eepholes, v iewing t he library's activities. In another area of the library, the exhibit presents a colorful wall of sound and texture, extending the experience beyond the visual to include tactile sense and hearing. Visitors can create their own experiences. The exhibit was specifically designed for the campus library. "The library is a place people normally only think about research and studying," said Bonnie Biggs, assistant to the dean for Library Services. "Discovery should be on all levels, including the senses." The art exhibit is currently on display through March 27.

But, for a space called 6 @ Penn, it works. Located at the corner at Sixth and Pennsylvania Ave. in the heart of Hillcrest, this 1 00-seat performance space i s the temporary home of some of the most innovative and entertaining theater pieces and performance art in the county. And its latest offering, Rob Nash's "Freshman Year Sucks!" is no exception. A veteran of regional theatre, Nash turns his comic eye to the life of three soon-to-be friends as they enter freshman year of Jesuit high school in H ouston. N ash, a n ative of A ustin, Texas, who also wrote the show, portrays the three "nonconformists"... Ben, George and Johnny. At the piece's outset, J ohnny befriends Ben and George (whom he deems "chick repellant") after moving t o t he a ffluent s ection of H ouston known as River Oaks from Iowa City. We then f ollow t he trio through the lives, loves and heartaches of freshman year. J ohnny i s t he-rough-and tumble outcast, a modern-day James Dean. And his two friends are the exact o pposite, Ben i s t he meek o ne w ho questions his sexuality and thinks he's falling for Johnny's girl, Maria. George's sexuality is still in question, though he has a senior-size crush on his wanton tutor. As the work progresses, Ben finds a soul mate (though not a sexual one) in Maria and the tutor wants nothing extra-curricular with pupil George. What sets this coming of age (and coming out) tale apart from the others of its ilk is that Nash portrays all the characters, an amazing 26. From the three friends and the objects of their desire (male and female) to parents, teachers and school administrators, Nash carries them all. And he does it extraordinarily well. His words are not carried out with the same insanity as, say, a Robin W illiams i mprov p iece, b ut w ith a s mooth, l ightning s peed a chieved through changes in facial expressions, body language and a myriad of dialects from the South. Nash is a very likable guy who is an arsenal of eclectic characters gay, straight and those in-between. And t hat's w here N ash's strength lies.

We then follow the camera as it follows Mr. Arlow making his way up to Zero's penthouse pad. With a recognizable hat's off to "Get Smart* and the convoluted conditions of getting into headquarters, a frustrated Arlow finally gets in and we are introduced to Mr. Zero: your basic Howard Hughes in the early stages of his agoraphobic paranoia. However, judge not a book by its cover my faithful film lovers. On t he j ob, Darryl Zero metamorphasizes into a cross between James Bond and Sherlock Holmes; smart, smooth, savvy, sexy, sweet and sensitive. Although he regards "the fine art of detachment" as a rigorous rule in detective work, he is unable to stand steadfast and true when attracted to an adorable and amorous admirer. This will not prove his undoing-quite the opposite—but does prove that "passion is the enemy of precision" (a Zeroism). Ryan O'Neal portrays Mr. Stark, the man with a past that won't go away, in desperate need of a discrete detective. O'Neal does a fine job here evoking emotions in the right places without overdoing his options. Both Bill Pullman and Ben Stiller infuse their characters with individuality, humanity and heart, allowing access into their fractured friendship. Written as well as directed by Jake Kasdan, Zero Effect demonstrates a deft display of camera control while providinng film patrons with a lovely look and listen into the lives of some unusual people with the usual problems.

Certainly n one are needed for those who have to juggle work, school, and family. Free time is scarcedndeeci:! | gyt « Though it may seem impossible to get out of town if you have only one day a week off, but it isn't. Nor does it need to put you in debt. If you like snow sports, or want to learn about them, good times are about two hours away at three resorts at Big Bear Lake. Snow Valley, Snow Summit and Bear Mountain each have something to offer. The best mountain for any kind of downhill gliding depends on your experience, and your wallet. At Snow Valley; an all-day, adult lift ticket costs $34. Students and military pay $ 30 for all-day tickets; children 6 to 9, $9; and seniors (over 70) and children under 6 ski free. For beginners, both skiing and snowboarding packages are available. The beginning ski package includes boots, skis and lesson f or $39. The beginning snowboard package is $49, and includes boots, board and lesson. Snow Valley h as a s nowboard park w ith jumps for all levels, and a skateboard park The second resort, Snow Summit, has been bombarding the public with radio and billboard advertisements. Lift t ickets there have g one down $12 since last season, something that doesn't happen often. An adult, allday ticket costs $ 32, while children from 7 to 12 pay $10 and children under 6 are free with a paying adult. If you finish before 1 p.m., you can turn in your ticket for a voucher toward your next time. Night skiing and snowboarding ( $24 per adult and $ 8 per child) is also available, as well as packages for snowboarders and beginI nor skiers ($65, which includes all rentals, lift ticket and four hours of lessons). Snow Summit is known for its snowboard park, the largest in Southern California. Tickets for the resort can b e bought at any Ticket-Master location. If y ou make t here b efore March, you can get an all-day lift ticket the third resort, Bear Mountain, for $29 Monday through Friday. That price jumps to $ 42 on March 1, but 13- to 22-year-olds will pay only $32, and those 6 to 12, $10. Halfday skiing, starting at 12:30 p.m., costs $ 28 for adults and $25 for those 13 to 22. You also can turn in a full day ticket before 12:30 P.M. and receive a voucher for your next visit. I ntroductory s kiing and snowboarding packages are available for $45 and $50, respectively, including lower mountain lift ticket, rentals and l esson. The Bear Mountain snowboard park has many new jumps and a new permanent boardercross. Tickets for Bear Mountain can be purchased at the ticket office and at manyVons stores. Bringing your own lunch to the resorts can save both money and time, since lunchtime in the lodges is hectic and expensive. Rentals are available at each mountain, and in several surf shops in North County as well. Group rates (more than 2 0 people) also are available at all three. . B Y M ICHAEL M g Bureaucracy—one n ever m r a knows when it will strike. Since the majority of students at CSUSM combine work with school, if not also parenthood, most of us can relate to the necessity of a class schedule that works well with all the other aspects of our lives. I know I'm like that. I work Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, leaving Tuesday and Thursdays only for the classes I need to graduate in may. But, when I entered my second class thatfirstTuesday, it was a bit worrisome: There were only four students in all, and the university's tentative minimum is twelve. It turns out my fears were justified. On the second Tuesday, the professor informed us that the class was cancelled. It was a senior-oriented class, and a least two of us needed it to graduate. Crashing a class in the second week is a very uncertain situation. So we were quite worried. But, there was hope. The professor said we could take the class as an independent study. But, since she was unsure of all the fine points, we went to the d$par£nent head to work it put. Once there, we were told that we indeed could take the class as an independent study, but only on a credit/ no credit basis. Never having taken a such a class, I had no problem with this. Then came the catch: The department h ead i nformed u s that a credit/no credit class couldn't count toward your major. This was very bad, since I needed an elective in my major in order to graduate. There was no point to taking the class if it wouldn't count toward my major. We asked if there was anyone else we could talk to who might have the power to provide some relief. We were given the name and number of an administrator and told to call and make an appointment. But this was Tuesday, and the add deadline was in three days. We might not be able to even get to see the administrator in time. We asked the department head if we could get special consideration if we tried to crash a class, since ours was canceled and we were graduating seniors. We were told that was up to the individual professor, and we should plead our case ourselves. I found a few electives that fit my schedule but learned they were full, leaving me with the choice of quitting my job or attending summer school. It was in this hopeless state that I thought of talking to my counselor, Laura Coad. On two previous occasions, she had clarified and focused my academic life. But I had my doubts whether even she could save me this time. She said she would talk to the department head. An hotir or so later, after my next class, I returned and she waved me in. "You're fine,'' she said. "You can take the class credit/no credit and graduate." That was it. I had gone from a brick wall to a yellow brick road. I found it hard to believe, but I told my professor and she told me to meet her on Thursday to work out the independent study. Two other students and I met with her and returned to the s ame d epartmeent h ead w ith our IndependentStudy forms. As she signed them, she explained that because we were on a different catalogue year we were exempt from the policy. It occurred to me that most seniors would be on a different catalogue year than the present one.-1 don't think too many students transfer colleges in their senior year. Though curious why this hadn't been apparent two days prior, I was happy to have my original schedule back. It just proves that you have to be careful what you accept as the truth ... especially in a bureaucracy. ' Pri§e' g ppp j| Letters t o t he e ditor are w elcome.

According to Knoblock, other options include expanding stack parking and exploring the possibility of converting to diag­ onal lots. Knoblock stressed that the zoned system was only one of many options, and said that the zoning proposal was presented, as opposed to any other, because it “was the only one drafted from beginning to end.” Parking Ser­ vices will bring in a consultant to analyze the practicality and financial considerations involved in expanding and/or restructur­ ing parking. When asked if the proposal favored higher-income students and families, Knoblock said, “We had fair and equitable goals [when looking at parking options] and we felt that by having dif­ ferent prices available, students would be able to make their own selection. We’re consider­ ing not using the word ‘pro­ posal’ anymore, because it’s a sensitive topic; this involves peo­ ple’s money.” Francine Martinez, vice pres­ ident for Student Affairs and chair of the Student Fee Advi­ sory Committee (SFAC), also confirmed that there is no official proposal at this time. While no “official” proposal is under con­ sideration, Knoblock said that, in the future, a parking struc­ ture would be necessary as there are only 2,521 spaces available on campus, and more than 6,000 students and 1,000 faculty/staff members. “Parking Services is self­ supported; we don’t receive any money from the state,” said Kno­ block, and “building a structure, » > A rtic le cont. on pg. 2 Vol. X No. 3/ Tuesday, February 19,2002 E :r.

P ride Photo/James Newell By: JAMES NEWELL Pride Editor Student Health Services and the Peer Education and Support (PEAS) organization set up a table in Founders Plaza on Wednesday and Thursday to pro­ mote sexual awareness as part of nation-wide Sexual Respon­ sibility Week, which ended on National Condom Day, or as most know it, Valentine’s Day. * “We’re not trying to promote sexual activity, but if people-are having sex, we want them to be responsible and safe,” said Cathy Nguyen, health educator at Stu­ dent Health Services. “And we want them to know abstinence is also a healthy choice.” Nguyen paired up with Janeth Orellana, a freshman peer edu­ cator with Student Health Ser­ vices, to provide student-friendly sexual health information and to address the connections between alcohol abuse and unhealthy choices. The table was filled with pamphlets on STD prevention, Student Health Services infor­ mation and condoms. The con­ doms were wrapped with artwork reflecting the winning submis­ sions from an annual contest sponsored by the California Family Health Council. “Let’s get stocked up,” said sophomore Brandon Koolhaas, as he took advantage of the free condoms in preparation for his Valentine festivities. Nguyen and Orellana also had a “spin to win” game for students to play. After spinning the wheel, students were asked a question, like, ‘What is abstinence?’ ‘What is the best method to prevent an STD?’ ‘Is withdrawal a good birthcontrol method?’ If participants answered correctly, they were offered their choice of either “How do I love thee?” poetry magnets or the quite popular condom rose, which came with STD hotline numbers and a reminder to practice safe sex. “Condom roses are a great idea, especially for Valentine’s Day,” said freshman Janene Davis as she strolled through Founder’s Plaza with friend Vanessa Hayes, roses in hand. Organizers of the two-day event gave away eight dozen long-stemmed condom roses, and more than 300 regular condoms. When asked for his thoughts on the event, student Jon Eckrich said, “You know, I love it. I’ve never used a condom, but I’m going to now.” Student Health Services pro­ vides women’s health exams, STD screening, birth-control options counseling and prescrip­ tions, emergency contraceptive pills (the “morning after pill”), pregnancy testing, HIV testing, and other services, which are paid for with student health fees. » > A rtic le cont. on pg. 2 ASI Hosts Breakfast in Celebration of Black History Month By LISA LIPSEY Pride Feature Editor After a moment of silence in memory of Henry Rodriguez, a Luiseno tribal elder who died in a car accident Thursday morning, student Crystal Rodriguez asked the listeners to join her in singing the Black National Anthem, “Lift Every Voice and Sing” by James Weldon Johnson, to open Friday’s Black History Month Breakfast. Acting master of ceremonies and Dean of Students Jonathan Poullard then welcomed everyone to this year’s event, which fea­ tured keynote speaker Dr. Sharon Whitehearst-Payne, an adminis­ trator in the San Diego Unified > ^ f School District with 30 years teaching experience. “I love San Diego County because of its diversity, its rain­ bow of people,” said Whitehearst-Payne. A graduate of Duke I University, Whitehearst-Payne / focused her speech on three areas: diversity, giving back to the com­ munity and her faith in Jesus Christ. She grew up in an exclu­ sively African-American com­ munity and attended grades K-12 at an all African-American school. “What can you outpour into some else’s life? When you die, what will they say about you?” Pride Photo/Lisa Lipsey asked Whitehearst-Payne. “I am one of four girls, and our goal was to deny the myth that black women have babies out of wed\lock and go on welfare. All four of us have.a minimum of a mas­ ter’s degree.” Both President Alexander Gonzalez and Associated Students, Inc.

According to that article, stu­ dents would have the opportu­ nity to purchase parking for $14 a month under the “Zoned Park­ ing System.” Knoblock said the information was incorrect; stu­ dents would not, if the proposal at any time becomes official, be able to purchase a parking pass for Zone 3, which would have comprised lots B, N and O. The proposed $14 a month parking area would be for faculty and staff only. If and when any other parking proposals, or options, are negotiated, Parking Services must submit a proposal to the SFAC at least a week and a half prior to any presentation of P rom oting Black History Month B reakfast such a proposal, according to Knoblock. “We really encourage people to come to Parking Ser­ vices, in person, if they have a problem,” said Knoblock. “We take our suggestion forms very seriously and respond to each individually.” Knoblock also encouraged students to find out what other areas Parking Services is involved in. “We handle the free shuttle and stack parking, and we lease 160 spaces at San Marcos Ambulatory Care to handle over­ flow parking. We also handle the bike lockers and the carpbol pro­ gram.” Safer Sex jtfeet m vjawry H {5H4MJ Pride Photo/Lisa Lipsey “This breakfast is important »> A rticle cont. from pg. 1 “I encourage you all to get because as students we can unite involved.

He was also one of the last of his people who could still speak the Luiseiio language, spoken by the original inhabitants of the Pauma Valley and Palomar Mountain area. “Uncle Henry” also over­ saw the La Jolla Reservation. According to teachers from the La Jolla’s Fox Outdoor School, Rodriguez taught students that “The Luiseiio people who lived here did not have a word for ‘good-bye’ — for to say ‘good-bye’ meant forever. “Uncle Henry,” a father of five and a grandfather of “too many to count,” became the first Native American to be honored by the Cal State San Marcos campus. The CSU system, and CSUSM, pre­ sented Rodriguez with an hon­ orary Doctor of Humane Letters degree in June of 2001. Rodriguez was a commu­ nity consultant at CSUSM since the university’s inception. He helped organize the university’s annual Pow Wow, blessed the commencement ceremonies, and participated in Indian graduation ceremonies as well as the univer­ sity’s time-capsule celebration. Rodriguez served as an important elder, helping to preserve indigenous California culture. In reel-to-reel tapes beginning in the 1940s, Rodri­ guez captured traditional Luiseiio songs that Grossmont College is preserving. He has served as chairman of the La Jolla “Uncle Henry ” F all 2001 P ride Photo Band of Mission Indians and was instrumental in establishing the Southern California Inter­ tribal Council, now the California Tribal Chairmen’s Association. Since the 1940s, Rodriguez had been a major contributor to California Indian politics and is a national authority on Indian water rights. One of the found­ ers of the San Luis Rey Water Authority, he served as president and served on the board of direc­ tors. He continued to work with California and United States fed­ eral authorities on environmen­ tal protection, repatriation, and health legislation, and was instru­ mental in bringing Indian health­ care to California reservations. Rodriguez was also an active pro­ ponent of Native A m erican-Indian education. He helped bring the “Head Start” pro­ gram to a number of reservations, and served as a board member and con­ sultant in a number of school districts, developing curric­ ulum with more accurate represen­ tations of local Indian people.

The message focused on keeping your goals on the posi­ tive side of life. How much would you pay to change the course of your life? Do you think that it’s possible for a mere 25 cents? According to Martin, all it took was 25 cents and a few miracles along the way. Martin became famous about two years ago when his life was spotlighted as a part of the Hollywood movie “The Hurri­ cane.” The movie tells of Martin’s involvement in helping to free Rubin “The Hurricane” Carter from wrongful imprisonment. During the speech, Martin identified himself as his greatest obstacle to success, and once he was able to let go of fear he was able to let miracles enter his life.

And, in almost every musical number, the cast was thrashing and flailing to syn­ chronize their dance steps. Very well done Plaids, I loved it! Directed by Scott Dreier, a former Plaid when the show ran at the Theatre in Old Town, “Forever Plaid” tells; the story of four high school geeks who met in the Audio Visual Club and started a boy band: The Plaids. In 1964, they were on their way to their first major gig when they were killed in a car accident. Now, 38 years later, they have been given the chance to return to earth and perform the show they never made it to in life. Admittedly, they’re a little rusty, a little ner­ vous and have forgotten most of their moves. Still, throughout the show, it’s clear that they never forgot the thrill of performing or their lyrics. The rich voices of Frankie, - Sparky, Jinx and Smhdge combine in amazing harmony. The repertoire of favorites, arranged by James Raitt, come from their era and include: “Lady of Spain,” “Heart and Soul,” “Day-O,” “Moments to Remember,” “She Loves You,” and “Love is a Many Splendored Thing.” Through what Martin calls King Live, Oprah, and to the his second miracle, he read “The United Nations.

Once a practicing lawyer, courage to attempt the ridiculous Martin has appeared on Larry can achieve the impossible.” I took a group of high school students to the see the show, and they all thought it was “pretty cool.” The audience was diverse, from the elementary age to (if I had to guess) ninety, and the show kept us all laughing. But you have to take responsibility; if you want to spend the evening laughing, pay close attention to what the actors are doing, even when they are not in the spot­ light. As the playbill says, this show “.. .is dedicated to the guys who saved their allowance to give their par­ ents a special night on the town for their anniversary,;, .and to the guys who never went beyond first base, and if they did, they didn’t tell anyone. We salute you.” It sounds like “Revenge of the Nerds: The Musical,’’ but really, these guys are returning to earth with the attitudes of a sincere and seemingly simple era. The show was written and choreographed by Stuart Ross and has a similar format to his other four-man show, “Triple Espresso,” which has been play­ ing in San Diego’s Gas Lamp District for several years. Over­ all, “Forever Plaid” does not measure up to the modern day and absurd hilarity of “Triple Espresso,” but it does provide two hours of wholesome humor. I give it an A-. “Forever Plaid” is playing at Vista’s intimate little theatre, the AVO. It runs until Feb. 24, Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Tick­ ets are $16.00.

" Sl ac ker s " By MARLINO BITANGA Pride Staff Writer If you are looking for tactics on how to cheat on your next exam or strategies on how to win the boy or girl of your dreams, then you can go to the nearest college, using elaborate scams and cons that have worked for them. The 3 “slackers” are con­ fronted with complications when Dave makes the mistake of taking Ethan’s (Jason Schwartz- REVIEW REVIEW Photo Courtesy o f www.imdb.com multiplex and purchase a ticket to see the movie “Slackers.” This fragmented comedy introduces the audience to three college students, Dave (Devon Sawa), Sam (Jason Segel), and Jeff (Michael C. Maronna) who have cheated their way through of this evidence and uses it to blackmail Dave and his friends to either hook him up with Angela, the girl of his dreams, or get kicked out of school. In compliance with Ethan’s terms, the boys do what­ ever it takes to find out what interests Angela. However, despite all the information gathered, socially awkward Ethan doesn’t have a chance, especially since Dave and Angela begin falling in love. Social conflicts then arise, which leave Dave alone, as trust issues between the three­ some temporarily break them up, and Angela leaves him after being convinced that he is a liar. The film closes with Ethan’s blackmail scheme backfiring on him, and Dave finds the courage, with the help of his friends to come clean and tell - Angela the truth and how much he loves her. A .typical closure you would expect from a teen comedy. What is hilarious about “Slackers” are the erotic scenes involving Ethan and 2 girls at once, Ethan’s hair doll and Ethan’s romantic late night ser­ enade to Angela. The one evident problem in the movie is that the plot is very disjointed. Although at times the gags were funny, they were out of place and made the story drag on.

But what we didn’t know is that after taking a three-year break from the spot­ light, she is back from a period of growth and self-evolution, ready to release her new 17-track CD titled “Full Moon.” “In the past three years, I’ve focused on getting to know who I am inside. I took a break to reflect on myself as a person and I’ve grown a lot. There was a side of me that I’ve known and people close to me have known, which was different from the public image of who I was,” said Brandy. “Full Moon” is Brandy’s third Photo Courtesy o f www.foreverbrandy.com Book JOSEPH SANCHEZ For the Pride This is a belated review of a book that hopefully many of you are already familiar with. But after finally getting my hands on a copy, I feel compelled to say all I can about the impor­ tance of reading this book. I first heard about the book on National Public Radio (NPR) last year and was shocked by the tales of abuse and negligence that author Eric Schlosser says he discovered in the fast-food industry. Most of us can probably remember the E coli outbreak associated with tainted meat sold at a Jack in the Box in Seattle a Fast Review few years back. What we don’t know is that all the meat products for all fast-food restaurants (with a few notable exceptions) come from the same few unsanitary meat-processing plants. After the Jack in the Box incident, 35 million pounds of ground beef were recalled, most of which had already been consumed. This is only one of numer­ ous instances of the worst kind of industry neglect that Schlosser details. Even more shocking is the claim he makes on page 218 that “for years some of the most questionable ground beef in the United States was purchased by the USDA—and then distributed to school cafeterias throughout the country.” For those of you who recognize the eerie similar­ ity between such incidents and others, which occurred in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, involving rotten meat given to Native Americans - I remind you that this was hap­ pening in the 80s and 90s and now continues, into the twentyfirst century. In 1999, the USDA continued to purchase meat from a plant that allowed as much as 47 per­ cent of its beef to contain Salmonella. The company that owned this plant is one of the largest suppliers of public school’s meal programs in the nation. The situation gets even worse Beauty Behind Bars By SYBILLE HERWIG Pride Staff Writer The romantic fairy tale image of 1001 Arabian nights has long been stripped of its innocence, and recent events have evoked many provocative questions about Middle-Eastern countries. Cul­ tural differences are clashing, and sadly, fear might affect many of us when we think about the Arabian world. And yet, there is a rich and spiritual culture hidden behind the violent and sad images that are brought into our homes by the media. A culture, which opposes many* Western ideas of freedom, has triggered a sense of fascination and curiosity: What Pride Photo/Sybille Herwig is it like living in a country that faces unbearable poverty? What is it like living under a system that denies women their freedom and dignity? I tried to answer these questions for myself by taking a trip to Yemen in 1998. The people of Yemen strictly follow the Islam faith; thus, it can be strange for a first- time visitor to see women covered from top to toe, barely showing their eyes. But traveling means getting to know and understand different cultures, so approaching this trip with an open mind helped rfte to deal with the sometimes-shock­ ing pictures of starving children and oppressed women, and, at the same time, enjoy the beauty Yemen has to offer. My adventure started with a rough plane trip from A1 Hudaydah to Sana’a, which is one of Yemen’s main tourist attractions. Sana’a is located in the midwest region of the country and has been recognized as the mecca of the Arab nation’s cultural heri­ tage. According to Yemenis, the city is one of the "first sites of human settlement, founded by Noah’s son, Shem. But what makes Sana’a really special is the amazing architecture of the approximately 400-year-old houses, as well as the largest preserved medina in the Arab world. Another must-see stop is the central market, Souq-al-Milh, which has a local atmosphere and provides vivid insight into the social life of the Yemenis. The crowded, narrow streets make it hard to stay oriented, but experiencing the market’s hustle and bustle makes getting lost an exciting mistake. The air is filled with the aroma of odd spices, raisins and vegetables, and the voices of loud salesmen selling their goods. Some of the most popular products available are daggers. But no worries! They do not serve.as weapons, but rather as fashion statements. Daggers are part of the traditional attire, and Yemeni men carry them as casually as American men wear tjes. The more splendid the show­ piece, the more ceremonious the occasion. While I was wandering through the streets of Sana’a, I noticed a recurrent trend: the swollen cheeks of the men, appar­ ently caused by their constant chewing and spitting. Fortu­ nately, these cheeks were not the result of a universal toothache; they were filled with leaves of the^ Quat plant. Quat is a mild, nonaddictive stimulant, which makes one lively and chatty, although after a while one might become TRAVEL _ album for Atlantic records. The album, scheduled for release on March 5, includes work from pro­ ducers Warren Campbell, Keith Crouch, Mike City, and Rodney Jerkins, who together contributed to extending Brandy’s musical talent to the next level. The chemistry between these producers flourishes throughout “Full Moon,’- giving us a taste of classic quiet storm, pulsating, melodic hip-hop beats, and R&B smoothness. The album draws from a more edgy side of Brandy in songs like “When You Touch Me,” “Come A Little Closer,” and Brandy’s current single, “What About Us?” While it touches on everyday issues and emotions, her music shows how she has grown both mentally and spiritu­ ally. *. Food Nation as Schlosser examines the work­ ing conditions in the meat- pro­ cessing plants. In tones and' images that echo Upton Sinclair’s 1906 novel The Jungle, Schlosser takes us right into the nauseating world that provides us with our convenient 99- cent hamburgers. In his examination of the industry, Schlosser points to meatpacking as the most danger­ ous job in the U.S. The book truly exposes the horrifying toll of destroyed lives and families due to one simple fact: greed. The majority of workers are unskilled immigrants who don’t speak Eng­ lish and are easily intimidated by workman’s compensation forms and insurance applications, which SS§ v-'\ “Before, I didn’t know who I was\ or what I liked to do or understand the love that I really had for music. I think on this album, you cart tell through the vocals and creativity that it’s just different. It’s because I’m more into me now so I can bring me into the music,” said Brandy. “It represents who I am and what I am and where I am.” As a result, this album has carried Brandy through her chal­ lenging period of growth and into a new state of being, giving us great music. “I’ve come full circle, made a 360 degree change in my life, and rediscovered my love for music and hey, crazy things happen during a FULL MOON,” said Brandy. *Quotes Courtesy of Atlan­ tic Records suits the corporate heads just fine. The irony is that the dollar is the bottom line for more than just the stereotyped, greedy corpo­ rate executive - there is also the “Fast Food Nation,” which wants its one-dollar hamburger. But, as Schlosser points out in his study, even In-N-Out’s high wages and fresh food don’t nec­ essarily equate with an expensive or a slower product. The beauty of this book is that it is so rel­ evant to everyone. It is a fasci­ nating and thoroughly enjoyable read. m V ' *> §!

P ride Photo/Sybille Herwig mellow and contemplative (at least these were my observations of my local Quat-chewing tour guide.) Unlike in other Arabic coun­ tries, Quat is legal in Yemen, and it plays a big* role in the Yemenis’ social life. Of course, only men are allowed to engage in this pleasure, and they most likely do that while either drink­ ing tea together or walking hand in hand through town. Yes, I know what you think! But in Yemen, holding hands is an expression of friendship. The fact that any spark of affection between men and women is for­ bidden in public might explain this custom. But there are times for coed celebrations, which I recognized while attending a wedding reception on my way cross-country, from Sana’a to Aden. Under the hot Arabian sun, a young couple celebrated their new bond on a ledge, overlooking a gorgeous valley. The joy of this occasion was expressed not only by music and dance, but also by ‘friendly’ machine-gun fire. Fur­ thermore, falcons demonstrated their amazing arial abilities for their proud owners and guests. It was an unforgettable experi­ ence to be part of this tradition, especially when I was asked to provide my arm as a take-off and landing spot for these great birds. Visiting Yemen is like travel­ ing back in time. The sights and landscape reminded me of Bibli­ cal stories and inspired a sense of nostalgia. But these dreamy feelings are extinguished very quickly, as soon as the poverty of this country becomes appar­ ent.

Last Monday night in the final exer­ cises of the pairs figure skating competition, the Russian team of Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze was awarded the gold medal, despite the outcries of experts across the world who were certain that the Canadian team of Jamie Sale and David Pel­ letier should have taken the gold. An investigation of the judges began almost immediately, and after a week of investigation and the suspension of the* French judge, a second gold medal was awarded at a press conference on Friday. This is the fourth time that the IOC has awarded a second gold medal. In 1993, the IOC awarded a second gold medal from the Barcelona Games in synchronized swimming. The executive board agreed that Canada’s Sylvie Frechette was placed second because of a judg­ ing error that occurred when a Brazilian judge was not allowed to change a score that she mistyped, into her computer. However, the second gold medal is not a provision in the Inter­ national Skating Union (ISU) rules. In a press conference Friday, ISU president Ottavio Cinquanta insisted that the extraordinary situation con­ cerning the scandal called for a change of regulations in order to accommodate the circum­ stances. "We are happy that justice was done ... this was not some­ thing against [Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze], it was something against the system,” said Pel­ letier. He also took a moment to intentionally divert the spot­ light to other Canadian athletes who had won medals in the last couple of days while everyone was paying attention to him and Canadians Received Gold Medals Photo Courtesy o f http://www.msnbc.com/news/705743.asp Sale. “This is not what the Olympics are supposed to be about,” said Jamie Sale, politely reminding reporters why the two athletes are in Salt Lake City. In both singles and pairs figure skating, skaters are judged on more technical elements jumps, spins, spirals, and land­ ings - while ice dancing is judged more subtly, on rhythm, fotftwork, and style. The controversy this year may have begun in the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan. Four years ago, the ISU suspended the Canadian and Ukrainian judges when the Canadian ice dancing team claimed that the Russians and the French conspired to keep them from winning a medal. It has been known for several years in the figure skating community that many of the judges have their decisions made long before the actual competi­ tion. The IOC has tried to prevent corruption in the past by choosing judges for the events only a few hours before* competition, instead of a few months before. In Salt Lake City, however, facilities were not available for a large pool of judges, and therefore the judges had to be chosen several months ago. Olympic judging has been under intense scrutiny for years, involving figure skating and ice dancing, as well as syn­ chronized swimming and rhyth­ mic gymnastics in the Summer Olympics. The IOC has been working oil developing more technical measures of judging, and even discussed eliminating the more artistic sports from the Olympics altogether. Few deci­ sions have been made.

Pride Staff Writer Restaurant Row for C ommuters By JAMES SIMMONDS Pride Staff Writer It’s almost the middle of the third week of school and for some of you it must really suck having to commute from southern San Diego and Orange County. Especially if ypu have one of those scattered schedules/ You might be able to identify with the fol­ lowing scenario: arriving at school on Monday morning at 8 a m , only to have to wait around for your next class, which begins at 1 p.m., and finally, your last class, which begins at 6 p.pi. You already drive an hour or more every morning in traffic. It’s not worth driving home only to come back a couple of hours later. May I suggest some other choices. Instead of sitting around campus, wasting time, take off for a few hours. Attending CSUSM puts you right in the middle of fun and entertainment. Jump on the 78 west and exit at San Marcos Boulevard. Turn left onto San Marcos Boulevard, drive just a couple miles, and to your right you’ll find “Restaurant Row.” It’s a couple of blocks encompassing a variety of tasteful restaurants. You can enjoy some Mexican food at Acapulco’s, or seafood at Fish House Vera Cruz, and Rockin’ Baja Lobster. Maybe you feel like a little Italian food, so go to Bru­ no’s. Or you could be in the mood for nice, juicy ribs at Tony Roma’s. And if all you want is a burger and fries, then walk into Burger’s & Brew, tell Drew I said hi and please~say hello to the beautiful bartender for me. If you are stressed and want some relief have a beer or glass of wine. Just don’t get drunk; remember you have to come back. If you are not hungry and not in the mood for spirits, go next door and watch a movie at the beautiful Edwards Cinema. Watch the latest new flicks, like “Count of Monte Gristo” or, for you romantics, “A Walk to Remember.” For those of you who are adven­ turous, head east to Escondido. Here, you can go to Dixon Lake to fish, rent a boat or mountain bike, and there are plenty of other activities. Or, go play paintball at Mr. Paintball’s. And if you head west, keep going until you hit the beach. Just take the 78 west, which turns into West Vista Way. Walk on the beach, or suit up and get wet. For your shopping convenience, there are two malls close by, Plaza El Camino Real in Carlsbad, off the 78, and North County Fair in Escondido, off the 15. Hopefully, some of these ideas will help you with your long days this semester. Fun is at your reach within a small radius. If this does not help, then you can always go to the library and study. �T he Pride ^ C l lc r!^ The Parking Proposal I am a mature adult student and have been a full-time student for four out of five semesters. When are the students of this University going to “WAKE-UP?” The entire proposal is, as most other decisions, an AMBUSH! The Parking Proposal [hereafter: Proposal] was created over the break and when the majority of frill-time students are enjoying a holiday break. This proposal is not only outrageous; it is an insight in to how students are treated with disrespect and disconcern. The administration’s attitude appears to be at first blush, “they will be gone by the time it becomes an issue to deal with ... ”The Proposal, simply put, shows how the bi-furcation of Campus Police supervised parking vs. the “Parking (dis) Services” has been in control of the wrong person/s, who now display the fact that they cannot manage the money that is collected. There are numerous examples: [1J current signs that are displayed in Handicap parking are not the proper signs, which violates the California Vehicle Code and Federal Law, [2] there are not enough Handicapped parking spaces in the correct lots, which is old news and again ignored and unchanged by the “Parking powers,” [3] the Parking Enforcement persons were either led to believe, or took it upon themselves to assume, that they had the powers of a Police Officer and proceeded to violate students rights of privacy and make demands under the color of law. Only after being confronted with the errors and the fact that the “Red Shirts,” or Parking Enforcement persons* are not even qualified as limited peace officers [California Penal Code 830 et. siq.] has this legal action subsided. Director D. Knoblock has been privy to these and other major problems for over three semesters, yet they remain either ignored or unchanged. There are other numerous incidents that I have been privy to, and I am only one student, on campus a few days a week. There are almost 6,500 students currently enrolled. How many other stories are out there of misconduct and misuse of student parking funds, all for the pleasure of one or two persons? Using the approximate 6,500 students and their parking fees of $62, that amounts to over $400,000 per semester, and of course not everyone buys a parking sticker. Where does that money go, Director D. Knoblock? The proposal is poorly thought out. The hiring of a Parking Services Engineer, or whatever his title, was a step toward the right direction; unfortunately the result was not student-oriented. In fact the rumor is that, as part of the new plan the “shuttie service” will be discontinued, This was the only thing visible that the Parking fees provided, I have had to walk from the lot closest to Escondido, the far east lot. Without the shuttleservice, students would ftave to walk close to one mile to class, I have heard other students say that other schools and universities have poorer parking conditions than are proposed, Wejl, I did not go to that other school because of that consideration and others, including the drive to San Diego at 6:30 a.m. According to The Pride article, which was the first time any of the regular students heard of the Proposal, “the university will be in the red” in two years. I personally believe that an audit of the Parking Services is in order, before the increase of student parking fees is forced down the throat of the current students, The limitation of student votes to four, with most of the student government taking those voting seats, is wrong. Even the lack of opinions in this matter shows the conscious disregard for the input of students, which is the norm that I’ve seen since I attended. CSUSM has now taken the position that students are “customers.” Well I am one very unhappy “customer,” and I know that I am not alone. Ambushing the general student population and limiting the voting seem typical of the administration. Progress is not the answer; it is the problem, when it goes on without balance! This proposal seems to be Pyrrhic victory, R. Bell C o n d o le n c e s T o A ll W ho G rieve U n cle H e n r y To Whom It May Concern: I want to send my condolences to those in the CSUSM commu­ nity that are grieving for their loss of “Uncle” Henry Rodriguez. I only spoke with him a few times over the phone and in person, but he touched my heart. I am deeply saddened by the loss of such a great person. I can’t imagine how those who knew him well must feel. My heart goes out to all of you, but especially to those who never got the chance to meet him. Melanie Addington Graduate Student Tuesday, February 19,2002 7 Literature and Writing Department As a former student of Liter­ ature and Writing at CSUSM, I feel the need to write about what I think is an injustice to future Literature and Writing students. We all know about the lack of evening classes offered in the Literature and Writing major as well as the infrequency of core requirement classes being offered, but this is worse. This is about poor teaching of those core classes. Last spring, I had the misfor­ tune of having a certain Profes­ sor X teach a core requirement course. The class was poorly organized with too much mate­ rial to be grasped in 16 weeks (much of it theory), with a pro­ fessor with little knowledge of the subject being taught. Profes­ sor X intimidated students when we asked questions, papers and exams were graded with little indication of how the professor arrived at the final grade, and worse, we were constantly being put into groups to basically teach ourselves the material. Although I have had other professors (good professors) use this latter tech­ nique, we always had input and guidance from our instructor when we presented our “knowl­ edge” to the rest of the class. This was not the case with Professor X. I tried to speak with Pro­ fessor X about my unhappiness with the class, but she was unre­ sponsive and said “don’t worry, you are doing fine.” Evidently, S tu d e n ts A s C u sto m e r s It has been rumored that there has been a shift in the manner in which faculty should view their students: students are to be regarded perhaps as cus­ tomers and we, as faculty, must be more conscious of the realm of customer satisfaction. The pro­ posed change in parking— the faculty lot being available to whosoever can pay the most while we, in no position of influ­ ence, search for spaces in the far reaches of the campus so that our customers can be happy— brings the above rumor closer to real­ ity. I am so very grateful for that clarification as to my— fellow and faculty’s— position on campus. Susan Fellows LTWR I wasn’t (I got my only “C” in my CSUSM career), and neither was Professor X. We students heard that the chairperson of our department spoke to Professor X about the many complaints, but nothing changed. My classmates and I agreed that the workload, the lack of pedagogy, and the anxiety asso­ ciated with the class, made us never want to have Professor X again. Unfortunately, I got stuck with Professor X again. This fall (my last at CSUSM), I was thrilled that all of the final courses that I would need to graduate were being taught in the evening and Professor X was not teaching any of them. Of course, that was not to be. At the last minute, Professor X subbed in to teach a core require­ ment course that I was taking. My friends, who had also had Professor X, urged me to drop the course, take it in the spring with someone else, and just grad­ uate one semester later. I debated for a long time about this course, but I was determined to finish school this fall, and I gave Professor X the benefit of the doubt. It was the wrong decision. The workload was enormous (20 books to read in 16 weeks, 2 tenpage papers, 10 two-page papers, and both a two-day midterm and two-day final exam), the professor was obviously lacking the qualifications to teach this course, students were again intimidated and grades were derived from some ethereal reasoning that none of the stu­ dents understood (we were told AFTER the midterm exam what the professor MEANT by a ques­ tion worth 50% of the points, when what she asked on the exam was vastly different). I could continue with many examples of the injustices, intim­ idation, and lack of pedagogy that was the norm in Professor X’s classroom, but you must understand my point by now. I was torn about what to do about this professor: say, “Who cares, at least I am finished with school,” and “What about the students yet to come through this program?” CSUSM is a good school with great literature and writing professors who have a lot to offer their students. I feel cheated out of the two classes taught by Professor X. I was overwhelmed, discouraged, and I learned very little on subjects that are important to my major and ultimately to my pursuits in graduate school. Why is Profes­ sor X still teaching these upper -division courses? It is a shame that future students may have to endure what so many of us already have when Professor X’s evaluations were surely not posi­ tive ones. What recourse does a student have in this situation? Katja Tonsky T he Parking Proposal To the Editors: Parking Services would like to add to The Pride article (New Parking Proposal Will Increase Fees) printed on Feb. 12, 2002. The proposal addressed in the article is only ONE of many options that we are exploring to match the projected increase in faculty, staff, and students. Some of the other options we are looking at range from increas­ ing the number of carpool spaces, providing a bus pass subsidy program for our NCTD (North County Transit District) ridership, to purchasing addi­ tional bike racks and bike lock­ ers. We are also looking at diagonal parking vs. traditional straight-in parking spaces. We encourage our campus commu­ nity to send us any suggestions, comments, and recommen­ dations to www.csusm.edu/ parking or drop in at FCB 107 and give us your input. Thank you and we continue to look forward to working with our campus community. Dora R. Knoblock, Director o f Campus Enterprises. 760-750-7500 Bush, Light, and The World Bush is spending the multi­ lateralism of the past like a kid with a nickel in a candy store. Hiroshima cast a pall over the nation, consisting of the horror over dropping the bomb. The nation felt a tremendous guilt over ending the war with the bomb and trepidation over what it portended for the future. Pro­ paganda and false bravado were necessary to sooth our nation’s collective guilt. Today a similar Unease over an impending doom has been brought upon us on the coattails of our president. Must we uni­ laterally abort multilateral rela­ tions for short-term gains? What about the long-term costs of such a foreign policy? Winston Churchill once said, “The United States represents man’s ascent to the “Sunlit Uplands” of history, and we cannot be stopped anymore than the sun can. The sun may go behind the clouds for an hour or a day or a week, or even a month, but we are the sun, the light of mankind, and we will not be dimmed for long.” Does our president, who is known to admire Churchill greatly, think that means he needs to use the light of the bomb to light the world? Does he feel it’s his ‘manifest destiny’? John P. Doddridge �TUesday February 19th in the March 5th Guber­ natorial Primary Election.

X IX NO. 5 NIU Campus Shooting Raises Safety Concerns Emergency Preparedness Urged by University Police BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, Feb. 14, Northern Illinois University Graduate Student, 27-year-old Steven Kazmierczak, opened fire in a lecture hall on campus killing five students before turning the gun on himself. The next day, President Karen Haynes released a message to the campus community. "I know I speak for all of us that we feel great sadness and empathy for the students, faculty, staff and families of those personally affected by the tragedy at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb. Our sympathy goes out to them as they struggle to deal with the shock at such a sudden and violent loss to their community," President Haynes said. While questions regarding the motives of a student with no record of trouble and in good academic standing will likely go unanswered, administration is reaching out to students and fac- ulty to help focus on preventative measures. "We've had several systems in place even before Virginia Tech because we are such a newer campus," said University Police Department Emergency Manager, Dean R. Manship. "One thing people probably aren't aware of is that we have the ability to lock down pretty much all of our buildings from University police dispatch. So if we had some sort of situation like that, within two seconds they could click on one of their displays to lock down all the exterior doors for campus buildings and interior buildings for some of the newer buildings such as Markstein Hall." Manship stressed the need for students to program the University Police dispatch line (760-750-4567) into their cell phones in order to connect directly with University Police dispatch for a rapid response, rather than dialing 911 and being connected with the Highway Patrol. Students can also register for the emergency notification system at www.csusm.edu/ep to receive notifications only during an emergency. The system can notify students via cell phone, landline phones, text messages, and e-mail. The shooting rampage is the latest to plague the United States since last April's shooting at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University which claimed the lives of 32 people. See Shooting, Page 2 Greek Rush Week begins at CSUSM Interest in Greek life grows as campus expands BY TOM COCKING Pride Staff Writer As another semester passes, comes the beginning of a new one, bringing new opportunities to make new friends and participate in social events. For those who do not know: fraternities and sororities on campus are beginning to grow more and more as the years go by, with new ones being started as our school begins to grow. Seeing this college grow so .quickly makes being a part of it even better. Fraternities and sororities give people, especially those new to Cal State San Marcos, the opportunity to meet new people and experience things they might not be able to anywhere else. Anyone who has been on campus has seen the letters and tables for the fraternities and sororities. This week kicks off the rush week for both fraternities and sororities — and an exciting one it will be. Below are the dates and times and a description of what events will be going on this week. These events help give insight into what these fraternities and sororities are all about. Be sure to check them out.

Vista, £2084 _ i E AE MSflHMH Controversial religious debates welcomed by students DY BCM ROFFEE BV DEN DnCCCC Pride Staff Writer Monday, Feb.18, 2008 - For nearly six hours, Cal State San Marcos was shaken up as the topic of Christianity and religion became the focal point for public discussion and debate on campus. Tom Short, a traveling speaker from Columbus, Ohio spoke about his Christian beliefs on the stairs between Academic Hall and Craven Hall between 11 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Although CSUSM is no stranger to public expressions of beliefs and opinions, Mr. Short's showing was one of the largest the campus has seen in recent years. Drawing in hundreds of students throughout the course of the day, Short elicited impassioned debates from many otnHArifc resent. students pnrAOPnt Short touched on many issues ranging from evolution to homosexuality, at times provoking heated responses to his controversial statements. Those who disagreed were most often the ones first to speak out, while others simply listened on quietly. "I advocate that we convert the gay people," said Short. "Homosexuality is a sin." One student quickly replied, "That's according to the Bible. Why do they need to be saved because they're gay? Why do they need to be saved because of their sexual orientation?" Despite some of his inflammatory remarks, Short emphasized that he was not there to place judgment. However, students like Nastajja McDonald disagreed. " m not the one s cittino Vif»rp nlfir,reflect their C Christian religion TT'm nAtfliAnnp itting here plac- ilyilv reflect their hristian religion ing judgment on anyone. That's fairly.

Short continued shortly thereafter following a brief conversation with campus police. Reactions were mixed among students in the audience. Sopmore Erika Ervin echoed the belief of many students in attendance saying, "While I do agree with some of what he is saying, I don't like his argumentative methods." Some students felt that Short's style was too confrontational and didn't necessar- 5 f from those things." freerom those things."

"We see a lot more adults are warming up to what we offer lately, in some cases more than the younger students," he said. "As they should, safety is important to everyone, not just the youth." Judy Heard, Sexual Health Resource Advisor at Birth loice in San Marcos stressed the importance of being safe and informed. "We just want students to understand that they are special, they are a g ift they need to treasure, not just for themselves, but for the person they marry and their children " said Heard. "There are worse things in the world than getting pregnant, like getting an STD."

The processor takes a few seconds and validates the transaction. Then a Cougar selects one or multiple sodas. The Cougar finishes by pressing the blue "Complete" button. The processor then displays a "Thank You." The processor does not print a receipt. Although various credit card and banking companies might have different methods of identifying the transaction, the transaction shows up as "Vend at Cola" on monthly billing statements. Not all Cougars are eager to use the new process. "I wouldn't use it because I am very skeptical. There are just so many ways that people can get your credit card information," said Senior Business Major Jillian Cox. Last semester Coca-Cola vending machines across the campus received an upgrade allowing Cougars to utilize credit cards in purchasing a soda. The card processing machine accepts credit cards or banking cards with credit card logos and does not require the insertion of a personal identification number. The addition happened over night and not all Cougars are aware of this new capability.

Cancer Your attempts at channeling Rico Suave don't go exactly how you've planned, and on Wednesday, the Gemini you've been pining for slips through your fingers. Put away your Aqua Net and acid wash jeans and try being a real human being. Besides, now is the time to focus on the home front, before your proverbial French Virgo Love hurts. Not as much as friends talking smack, though. Because you can find 50 ways to leave your lover, but friends cling to you through the years.

I think my coolest memory, or at least the one I'm gonna go with— I've got a lot of awesome memories—is the one when I worked at the Zoo. I wrote a song about working at the Zoo and I played this Zoo house party, and that was thefirsttime I had ever played one of my songs in front of an audience. And like, they loved it. It's like a three minute song that took ten minutes because there was so much laughter in between each line. It was the greatest feeling in the world. The Pride: Can you share a few lines?

With Rock Band containing 58+ tracks out of the box and Guitar Hero sporting 71+ tracks, you would think that the latter would be the victor when it comes to variety. But with downloadable songs every week, both games have the potential to be on top when it comes to variety. With a character creation feature, Rock Band players have a chance to rock out with their very own personalized avatar that excels at one particular role in the band. Which means, that while Guitar Hero players are limited to wailing on the guitar, Rock Band players have the freedom to choose a responsibility within the band: guitar, bass, drums, and (my personal favorite) vocals. There is so much substance to both games that make them great. But if there had to be one, I'd recommend Rock Band to anyone that could afford its hefty price tag (about $170 compared to Guitar Hero's $90). With the variety and varying difficulties of each instrument, Rock Band offers a multitude of possibilities with every new song pack that becomes available. While I respect both series, I would easily recommend Rock Band to anyone with a pseudodream of super rock stardom. Hookmh Lounge P ool T a b l e s A Case Against American Idol BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer Despite being one of the most popular shows on television, I find "American Idol" to be flawed and self-righteous. At first, it may have been a good idea, but I grow tiresome of this program on FOX Network. For several reasons pertaining to the show itself and its negative influence on others shows as well as society, "American Idol" is a drain on the nation. First, the show is the same every year. Since its inception, copying the British show "Pop Idol," the program has consistently been the same. The formula is to get thousands of people in major cities across the nation and take a picture to give the illusion that FOX gives that many people the chance to compete. It would take months for all to sing in front ofthe infamous three judges, which means the show prescreens most contestants. The only ones who make it to the judges are the decent singers and of course, the bad. The show only gives the chance to these poor singers so that the rest of the nation can laugh at them, which is a pitiful way to boost one's ego. | Games G r e a t F ood O v e r 5 0 H o o k a h F lavor's As the show progresses, the judges 'cut the fat' as each week another singer is eliminated. The contestants face the wrath of the judges, who are stereotypical to a tee. There is the yuppie who never says anything bad, one who cannot stop saying 'dawg', and the last who is a miserable human being putting on the act that he is incapable of being pleasant. Finally, the judges say that each year the contestants are better despite the fact that only two relatively famous stars have come from the show, according to albums sold. "American Idol" is a repetitive process forced upon the nation each year to bring a new music 'sensation.' However, the show is responsible for more cultural problems in this country than musical talent. Singers on the show only survive if they put on proverbial blinders and sing only pop songs. This leads to people being uncreative and listening to only one type of music. In my opinion, rap and pop music are responsible for relaxed morals, including increases in promiscuity and drug use among young people. It is time for "American Idol" to take the blame for what is has done. M o n d a y N ight P ool T o u r n a m e n t D ally L unch a n d D inner S peclais H a p p y H our 4 : 0 0 - 6 : 0 0 P .

Beginning on Nov. 5,2007, the writers of television shows and motion pictures stopped working due to issues with DVD profits and credit for new media, which include Internet shows and 'on-demand' programs. The Eastern and Western Writers' Guilds laid terms for a new contract on February 10 and voted it in place two days later. According to the website for the Writers Guild of America, East, (WGAE) votes in favor of the new contract totaled an overwhelming 92.5%. The president of the WGAE, Michael Winship, said, "The commitment and solidarity of our members made it happen . .. our two unions stronger than ever." The members of the AMPTP, which include the Presidents and CEOs of entertainment studios, responded saying, "We hope now to focus our collective efforts on what this industry does best ... working together to deliver great content to our worldwide audiences." r Though the unions are pleased with the results, this strike did not come without its cost. One of the most prominent was the canceling of the Golden Globe ceremony. The shockwaves cost the city of Los Angeles $380 million, according to NPR, due to tourism loss as well as losses surrounding food and limo services and hotels. Also, studios may cut new shows that never got rolling, and the people who work undistinguished jobs behind the camera lost income. Both guilds and the AMPTP are looking to make the best of the situation and bringing entertainment back to the viewers. Leave the Sprinting to us.

This was without a doubt the most incredible performance this year. It is too bad the Academy did not nominate him for best male lead, because with his performance, his presence resonates even when he is off screen. Bardem has created a villain that can stand ground among the likes of Hannibal Lecter, Darth Vader, and Norman Bates. An honorable mention belongs to Gasey Affleck for his work in "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford," because he showed he has seri- ous acting skills, unlike his brother Ben. Best Male Actor Best Director Best Picture Best Female Actor "No Country for Old Men." What a surprise. There is not much more to say than this is a flawless film. To all who took part in the making of this movie: congratulations and thank you. Ellen Page for "Juno." This one is a call from my gut. Page gave a refreshing, yet smug, performance, and the Oscars have a tendency to favor young stars, such as in 1993 when Anna Paquin won best frnmt supporting female actor in "The 1 w m k Piano," and she was only 11-yearsold at the time. With all due respect, she may not have come out Daniel Day-Lewis for "There on top in a stronger field. Will Be Blood." Not to be misogynistic, but the performances by men were incredible this year.

They deserve this award due to their work with the story, the performances they got from the actors, and the making of another American cinema classic.

The tingle although meek in power, lingers in the mouth for several moments. Ultimately, an oak residue coats the tongue after the encounter.

The special event was held in Craven circle, which was closed o ff to t raffic for several hours to allow the festivities to take place. The event drew hundreds of students who lined up for f ree food and special 20th anniversary memorabilia. San Diego radio station, 91X, provided music, entertainment, and even gave away concert tickets and other prizes to participating students. However, the biggest prizes of the a fternoon were the two parking passes that two lucky students won in a r affle. President Haynes was among many campus and community f igures on site to help celebrate the occasion with students. "Cal State San Marcos has evolved into a campus with a pioneering can-do spirit, committed to building on our role as a driver of economic, cultural, and social development for this entire region we call home," said President Haynes. " Thank you all for j oining in this special kickoff event for Cal State San Marcos' milestrone year. 1 look forward to seeing you and celebrating all year our 20th anniversary." Vice Mayor of the City of San Marcos, Hal M artin, was also present at the event on behalf of the San Marcos City Council. Vice Mayor Martin thanked CSUSM students, saying, "CSUSM has contributed to the economic growth and success of our region, with nearly 90% of its alumni staying in the region, providing a pool of skilled and tal- ented workers." Vice Mayor M artin also recognized the work students do f or the community, acknowledging the more than 165,000 community service hours students p erform annually for the city of San Marcos. Vice Mayor M artin concluded his speech with the proclaimed the City of San Marcos would o fficially recognize Jan. 28 as " California State University San Marcos Day. Students cheered at the news, a recognition by the community of the pivotal role CSUSM plays in the area.

Gov, Schwarzenegger unvéîïècfto the state legislature his budget for f iscal year 20102011, which would restore $305 million to the CSU budget. Alongside that, the new budget would also allocate an additional $60.6 million to account for enrollment growth. The restoration of f unds lost in the so-called "one-time" budget cuts of2009-2010 is good news for the CSU system and higher education in California as a whole, which has suffered heavily during California's most recent budget crisis. Though this is certainly good news for an ailing university system, California must receive a base amount of federal aid before it extends the additional $60.6 million in aid. The other $305 million restored in the proposed budget would not be a ffected by this requirement. Just days before revealed his new budget, Gov. Schwarzenegger said in his State of the State address, "Because our f uture economic well-being is so dependent upon education, I will protect education f unding in t his budget. We can no longer a fford to cut higher education." In the same speech Governor Schwarzenneger pointed to the longstanding discrepancy between f unding for prisons and higher education as an impetus for r e-prioritizing higher education in government spending p rograms.

Thanks to my library card, I was renting R-rated flicks with explosions, guns, and violence before I could see them anywhere else. One of the common ingredients in these films was John Travolta. I used to love films like "Broken Arrow," which is still fun to watch occasionally for a 90-minute romp in outrageous action. After that, I also saw other Travolta films such as "Pulp Fiction," which is one of the best films ever, and "Face-off," which I still have mixed feelings about, but it is still pretty good. Yet now, Travolta seems like he is losing his touch. He is now competing with Nicolas Cage well as Travolta's performances. Now, he seems to be spiraling out of control. His new bald look makes him look deranged and nothing like his former self that got me excited to see his movies. I face. If the "Paris" trailer is any indication of how Travolta's performance is going to turn out, it seems like he will just be phoning it in, just as in "Pelham." Not only does he look more ridiculous, he is missing the fire in his eye and the swagger he used to have in earlier films. Going back to his career, it now' seems laughable the he was the star of "Saturday Night Fever" and "Grease." I might not be the biggest fans of those movies, but I cannot deny they are iconic, as V& U ö Image courtesy of Zuma/Visual Press Agency BUY, SELL. RENTat o m cheapbooks.com dooJle?

InterVarsity student team member, Allison Ogllvida, a freshman at CSUSM, greeted people at the door and managed the donation box. "I am just excited to do something for Haiti and this is definitely a school wide turn out," said Ogllivida. Attendees were encouraged to make a $10 donation at the door but the concert was offered at no charge. "We wanted to not only send money to Haiti, but also send our prayers to them." InterVarsity members also made an extra effort to generate more money for Haiti by selling hand-made hemp prayer bracelets at the door for $5 each. All donations made will be given to World Vision to benefit the victims in Haiti in immediate need and for long-term needs, according to InterVarsity's group Facebook homepage. InterVarsity grand total for donations came to $1148 just barely marking half of their expected goal. "We want t o bring life and hope back to Haiti," said Tyler Allreb, a member of the administration for InterVarsity. "This is a chance to stand together with our brothers in Haiti, we want to offer our thoughts and prayers to them." In between band performances, Becky Jenken presented her original artwork inspired by the recent Haiti tragedy. She presented a painting of a tree that's growth showed pre-earthquake Haiti images and below the trees undergrowth of branches showed post-earthquake images. She asked the audience to write words of encouragement on the her painting that would signify the tree's roots and the words would represent the tree's growth and recovery. The interactive art piece was followed by a moment of silence in respect to the lives lost in Haiti and a prayer for the survivors. Not only did this concert generate money for Haiti but also generated awareness. "I j ust heard about the earthquake today," said Jesse Sanchez, an InterVarsity member of the Mira Coast College chapter. "I am really self motivated to be here, I didn't make a donation with money, but I made a donation with my p rayers" http://ww\v.thecsusmpride.com/media'/paperl 149/documents/e3 z38128.{xlf 3 .

O b a m a a ddresses the nation after o ne y ear in office BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer the effects of the economy still remained. He said, "One in 10 Americans still cannot find work. Many businesses have shattered. President Barack Obama has now officially Home values have declined. Small towns been in office for over a year, having been and rural communities have been hit espesworn in as Commander In Chief on Jan. 20, cially hard. And for those who'd already known poverty, life has become that much 2009. President Obama admitted in his State of harder." He spoke about the introduction of the the Union address that the devastation from Image courtesy of Zimbo.com Recovery Act, also known as the Stimulus Bill, as the plan that has helped get the economy back on its feet by allowing tax cuts and saving and creating jobs. President Obama had promised to impose new financial regulations, according to polifact.com. This bill which, among other things, would allow the government to intervene in companies that are failing and will pose a risk to the economy. This bill has passed the House of Representatives and is awaiting the approval of the Senate. Health Care reform was one of the President's main election promises and he admitted in his address that the country had never been closer. He said, "After nearly a century of trying ~ Democratic administrations, Republican administrations ~ we are closer than ever to bringing more security to the lives of so many Americans." Another election promise involved the withdrawal of troops from Iraq, "As we take the fight to al Qaeda, we are responsibly leaving Iraq to its people. As a candidate, I promised that I would end this war, and that is what I am doing as President. We will have all of our combat troops out of Iraq by the end of this August," said President Obama. He also pledged to increase troop num- bers in Afghanistan; this is a promise he has already kept. "And in Afghanistan, we're increasing our troops and training Afghan security forces so they can begin to take the lead in July of 2011, and our troops can begin to come home," he said during his address. President Obama has decided to make the creation of more jobs his top priority in 2010 by creating a new jobs bill. In the 2008 election, Barack Obama received 66% of the 18-29 year old voting bracket, according to CNN.com. Jessica Drizin is an avid Democratic supporter, who believes Obama has had a difficult but good first year. She said, "I think considering the opposition that he has faced from the far right, he's achieved as much as he can. I think his policies and ideas will help America head in the right direction, if we can get both sides working together." However not all students are in favor of Obama. Scott Silveria, vice chairman of the College Republicans here at Cal State San Marcos thinks the country is in a worse state under Barack Obama than it was a year ago. He said, "I think he's doing this best he can but I don't agree with how he's fixing our problems and the direction he's taking us in." �Tuesday Feburary 0 2 , 2010 o porrs T HE P RIDE Superbowl XLIV preview BY JEFF ECONOMEDIES Pride Staff Writer The much anticipated Super Bowl XLIV will air on February 7, 2010 at 6:00 pm ET live at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida USA. This year's Championship match will feature the American Football Conference Champion Indianapolis Colts vs. the National Football Conference champion New Orleans Saints. For Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts, the nerves and intensity leading up to the big game will be somewhat familiar considering this will be their second trip to the Super bowl in four years. For Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints, however, the Super bowl is a level of competition the entire organization has never experienced. For the people and city of New Orleans, life in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina's devastation has been difficult. This Super Bowl birth has proven to be a sign for how well the city has recovered. A win would definitely give the city reason for celebration like never before. After starting the season 14-0, the Colts made a controversial decision to begin to prepare for the Super Bowl by resting their starters instead of chasing to join the legendary company of the 1972 Dolphins to finish a perfect, undefeated, season with a championship. The Colts are four quarters away from vindication headed by one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. The Colts also have other offensive weapons that will make them a force to be reckoned with. Most notably these include wide receiver Reggie Wayne and tight end Dallas Clark, who has proven to be a most reliable target for Manning over the years. Also, expect a couple of big plays from Austin Collie, a fourth-round rookie out of BYU who has been an outstanding out of the slot and is coming off of a career-high 123 receiving yards in the Colts AFC Championship win over the Jets. Overshadowed by an elite offense, the Indianapolis Colts defense is most likely going to be the biggest X-factor in this game. Under new defensive coordinator, Larry Cover, the Colts have played more effective one-on-one coverage, mixed up their zones, and utilized blitzes efficiently. Gary Bracket, middle linebacker and team captain will surely set the tone for keeping the New Orleans offense in check. The biggest question mark for the Colts defense heading into Sunday will be how effective Dwight Freeney will be given his current ankle injury. Being so quick around the edge this season, he was capable of accomplishing 13 Vi sacks. Drew Brees and the New Orleans offense will definitely benefit if Freeney is incapable of performing to his potential. Drew Brees (4,388 passing yards, 34 TD, 11 INT this season) is undoubtedly the heart and soul of the Saints in this paramount year for the New Orleans franchise. In order for the Saints to be successful this Super Bowl, they are not only going to need an all-star performance from Brees, but are going to need much help from their running game headed by Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas. Reggie Bush hasn't had the g r e a / ^ t f f i g i ^ t e career, but opposing defenses still fear his big play capability. Pierre Thomas has totaled over 1,100 all-purpose yards as the Saints' lead back this year and you can expect similar productivity this upcoming match up. The running game is going to be necessary in order to open up the field for Brees to find his key targets Marques Colston, Devery Henderson, and Robert Machem. My Prediction: The high octane no huddle offense headed by the 4-time MVP Peyton Manning is going to be too much for the New Orleans Saints to keep up with. More importantly, the Colts defense is considerably superior to the defenses that the Saints faced from the Cardinals and Vikings this post season. Score: 34-27 From SOFTBALL, page 1 In the bottom of the last f rame Lauren Nelson slid home to clinch the win for the Cougars a fter Erica Coelho drove a single. Coelho also made several great catches f rom her third base position that helped the Cougars attain that perfect defense which Coach Williams thought, along with excellent hitting, lead the Cougars to victory. The team faces three consecutive home games on the f irst weekend of February. This seems like a g rueling schedule, but Coach Williams believes that " ...early in the season, g etting more games is a healthy t hing because in p ractice certain situations d on't come up." From these early games he hopes to see the m issing pieces in the t eam, and f ix them in order to p repare them for Nationals. I spoke to several students; most had never attended a Softball game before for the school. They believe that more people will attend now that the" home field is on campus. Travis Wilson, a f irst time attendee, hopes to come to all the home games this season, j ust as long as it does not impend on h is studies. Wilson came to the game to support h is fellow students because he believes that the schools commuter school s tereotype needs to be destroyed in order to build stronger school spirit. With more students like Wilson a ttending games, the team will receive great s upport, as well as make other students r ealize the pride that they should have for their school, even if they do commute there. Complete effort propels baseball to sweep O regon Tech BY KYLE TREMBLEY Playing on Sunday at Vanguard University, Cougar baseball put forth a total team e ffort to sweep Oregon Tech.

Josh Miller then came ^ ¡ j » to 1-4. A fter managing j ust one run in 12 innings against Point Loma earlier in the week, the Cougar offense entered Sunday's games with something to p rove-and did so promptly by plating five runs in the f irst inning of game one. ^ a r d o M o r a n was then hit by a pitch, and Steve Harris ripped an RBI double to the gap to extend the lead to 4. Finally, Ryle Parks knocked a base hit to center, plating Harris to give the Cougars a big 5-0 lead. On the mound, CSUSM starting pitcher Chris Skaalen looked very good. He allowed j ust one run through five innings before surrendering a two-run shot in the sixth and exiting. The bullpen was excellent, with Eric Julienne, Johnny Holtman and Spen- 6 The defense behind those pitchers was also strong, not committing an error o v t the course of the game.

To get somewhat philosophical, what you wear communicates the essence of your three w's: who you are, what you're about, and what you believe. Basically, you are what you wear,; which is why a pair of sparkly gold TOMS have recently won me over. Prior to falling in love with sequins, I thought TOMS to be the most unattractive piece of shoe wear in America, but put sequins on anything and 1 WILL buy it. In this case, my beloved sequins found themselves on a pair of TOMS and my wild desire to own them led to some research on what the shoe company is all about. TOMS, short for Shoes four years later to do volunteer work and was astounded by the number of children who roamed barefoot, thus the TOMS project was born. Mycoskie enlisted craftsmen from Argentina to design a durable canvas shoe modeled by the ropesoled alpargatas - handmade canvas slippers worn by local farmers. For many children in third world countries, owning a pair of shoes allows them to receive an education, otherwise denied to them by schools that prohibit attendance to barefoot students, based on health and hygienic concerns. In most of the countries where TOMS are distributed, walking is a primary mode of transportation. Walking with no shoes makes bare feet susceptible to cuts, sores, and parasitical infections contracted from contaminated soil, which often lead to amputation, or death. These debilitating infections are absolutely preventable by wearing shoes! In 2009, Mycoskie was awarded the ACE award by Hillary Clinton which acknowledged his "leadership and innovation in the global industry." Recently, Ralph Lauren was invited to guest design a line of vegan-friendly TOMS. Scarlett Johansson, Sienna Miller, and even the great Karl Lagerfeld (even my computer knows who he is, I was just spell-checked) are also TOMS supporters. Whether we'll ever see a pair of TOMS on a Chanel catwalk remains to be seen, but the message is clear: what we wear is who we are.

This project will increase the capacity of the lot by nearly sixty spaces. The sight of b ulk dozers i n the lot should not, however, give students hope that there may soon be an end to their own parking woes. Expansion is the only available option to accommodate the number of staff members who regularly park on campus. Robert Williams, Technical Coordinator of Parking Services at CSUSM, explains, "The rows of [Lot E] are not conducive to stack parking, they're too narrow. Even if we wanted to do stack parking [in Lot E], it's not feasible" The increased lot space will also make more special parking permits available to students. Dora Knoblock, Director of Parking Services at CSUSM, emphasizes that parking services will strive to accommodate alternative modes of transportation such as bicycling, walking, and carpooling, "A main emphasis for us is expanding on the carpool program and alternative modes [of transportation]." Construction on lot E is scheduled t o be complete by March 20 of this year. Parking Services spends an additional $1,000 per month in rent for the use of parking space at the San Marcos Ambulatory Care Center (SMACC), located across from campus on Twin Oaks Valley Road. Students, however, are deterred from using this space due to the lack of shuttle service offered at CSUSM. "We currently have 160 spaces at SMACC that are clearly stenciled. Unfortunately we don't have people using them," says Knoblock. Parking Services does plan to lease another van in the near »Article continues on page 2 W hy Should You Care?

So Roses Sold O n C ampus By: Claudia Ignacio Pride Staff Writer "Valentine's Day is a good day for business, as most people wait to the last minute to do their shopping and stick to the traditional," said Mary Ann Lind. Owner of an Oceanside floral shop, Lind set up her floral arrangements outside the University Store, on February 13 and 14. Lind's curiosity to see how the CSUSM community would react to a floral sale event led her to submit a business proposal to Aztec Shops two months prior to the event. Aztec Shops, who oversees the bookstore and the convenience store, authorized permission for Lind to set up and conduct her sale. The agreement was that Lind would pay 10% of the profits to Aztec Shops. "It is a great idea, aside from being very convenient," said student Lisa Lipsey. Students also recognized that the prices were very reasonable con^pared to other local stores.

What is now one of San Diego's last undeveloped bits of coastline will, in the years to come, follow alongside the rest of Southern California. The Manchester Project, named after its founder, proposes to develop the two-block area of Pier View Way and Pacific Street. The initial designs, including a 500-room hotel spread across three structures, did not meet the guidelines set by the local coastal program. Thursday night's meeting discussed a refined and somewhat toned-down version. The revised plan consists of approximately 400 hotel rooms in just two buildings. Compared to the size of hotels around the world these days, it isn't all that grand but put it on the beach in Oceanside; it will stand out ias if it were the MGM Grand. Opposition to the project from the beginning has been wide- spread. A focus of local community concern is that the initial plan involves using public parkland around the pier and the possibility of limiting public parking and access to the area. Joyce Powers of the Oceanside City Redevelopment Agency explains that there will always be a certain amount of opposition to such a change, but as time moves on people will see the benefits. She added that public access is still in question, but the scaled back version leaves the amphitheater and the surrounding parkland as city property. The aspect people are having a problem with is that the part of Pacific Street affected will no longer be open to vehicular traffic. The small section of street between Pacific St. and Pier View Way will be turned into a pedestrian thoroughfare. This will divert traffic two blocks east around the hotel; placing the front of the hotel on Myers St. and the back no father than Pacific St. After hearing the basic intentions of the Manchester Project, people appeared positive about the proposed changes, but harbor some concerns about the fina plans. Todd Ayers, owner o Oceanside Surf and Sport an< avid surfer, is weary about what i in store for the beach and know; of people who are against th< plan. He says, however, the proj ect will be a good direction fo the city. "The project will maki the town look nicer, and it wil bring more tourism. I'm all fo it," said Ayers. Project leaders and the city council insist that the redevelopment will aid in the efforts, already in progress, to clean up the city. Once complete, the resort will contain restaurants and stores in addition to the hotel, creating local employment opportunities. City and project leaders say it will bring millions of dollars to the community in tax revenues alone. With the Environmental Impact Report slated for June island the development approval plan by December 1, there is only a short time left before Oceanside falls in line with the rest of the southern California beach communities.

(Pride P hoto/Chris Weedon) Chris Rock Delivers the Laughs in Down to Earth By: Marcy Rivera Pride Staff Writer Unbeknownst to some people, Down To Earth is a remake of the movie, Heaven Can Wait. This new comedy does a fair job of retelling the story of a person killed long before they were supposed to die as the result of an angel's mistake. That person in Down To Earth, is Lance Barton, portrayed by funnyman Chris Rock (Lethal Weapon 4). Barton is a black deliveryman and an unsuccessful comedian who is humor-challenged onstage at comedy clubs. In fact, he is nicknamed "Booey" because he is booed off the stage so often. Offstage, however, he is very funny and is looking forward to the chance to perform at A p o l l o ' s amateur night. While making a delivery on his bike, he is love struck by the beautiful Sontee Jenkins (Regina King, Enemy of the State), but then is struck again, when a truck (Chazz Palminteri, The Usual Suspects). Barton is able to return to earth, but in the loaner body of Charles Wellington, a white, rich older man, just murdered slyly by his wife and her boyfriend. When a more suitable body is found, in which he could perform at the Apollo, Barton will have to transfer bodies again. Inside, Barton is still Barton and he sees himsetf as Barton (as does the audience), but everyone else sees him as Wellington. Barton, as Wellington, sets out to right the wrongs committed by Wellington before he died and win the heart of Ms. Jenkins while enjoying the life of luxury. Ultimately, he still longs to win one of the five spots to perform in the Apollo amateur night.

In heaven, know- there yet, Barton bargains with come from the scenes of Barton, ing he is not supposed to be an intriguing angel, Mr. King shown briefly as the . older, reserved Wellington, grooving and singing the lyrics to rap music and doing stand-up routines. The movie's performers were all great, especially Wanda (comedienne/ actress Wanda Sykes), a maid to Wellington, who provides some great comical lines. Wellington's butler, Cisco (Mark Addey, The Full Monty), is charming in his role as well. The movie features a great soundtrack with selections from Lauryn Hill, Ruff Endz, Snoop Doggy Dog, and Monica. Even though Down to Earth is a comedy, it still tackles serious issues like reincarnation and the afterlife, as well as injustice and judging by appearances. The movie depicts a realistic view of how different races are treated and accepted, offering important lessons beneath the surface of the comedic moments. Down to Earth was directed by Paul Weitz and Chris Weitz and is rated PG-13 by MPAA for language, sexual humor and some drug reference/' �The Pride C o-Editor C o-Editor O pinion E ditor F eature E ditor S ports E ditor G raduate I ntern A dvisor M elanie A ddington V ictoria B .

Students in media from community colleges, public, and private universities from across the country gathered together from Feb. 15-17 to share new ideas, discuss problems, and learn from professionals in present day media. During those three days, more than 200 workshops were held, covering topics such as vcopyediting, media law, newspaper design, and photojournalism. The New York Times photo editor, Mike Smith, offered one interesting workshop, dealing with photojournalism in a "digital world." Smith's insight on photographing different perspectives, proved very valuable for some of our staff; and we hope to bring more interesting and unusual photographs to the pages of The Pride. Some other topics Smith addressed included the importance of teamwork and the j ethical responsibilities for those in student newspaper. A legal advisor for the Southern Methodist University student newspaper also gave important infor- I mation for news writers and interesting methods for obtaining information for investigative articles. The New York Times news design editor gave an informative lecture on news layout. We can only | hope to improve from the excellent design tips he provided. Matt Zoller Seitz, of The New York Press and Village Voice, gave an entertaining lecture on review | writing. Although he focused on how to properly critique arts, he also emphasized the importance of j knowing how to write in all fields of journalism. One common theme present throughout the workshops we attended was the importance o f i representing the student voice. It is our hope that the knowledge we gained from such workshops will be reflected upon future issues of The Pride. Again, The Pride strongly encourages student contributions.

Large sandwich boards were propped up against a light post, and another was supported by Survivor missionary Joey Cox, to present their cause. Signs displayed presented large, graphic images of a bor^ tions and listed facts about conception, human life and abortion provided by the Survivors organization. As students, staff and the members of Survivors exchanged expressive words, debates, and conversations of agreement, a demonstration began in front of the display as a Women's Studies professor, Dr. Linda Pershing and several Women's Studies students proceeded to stand in front of the signs, blocking the images from other students passing by.

According to their accounts, they were forced to make statements after extensive abuse, and also forced to wave their rights to an attorney. Hank Jones, 70, and Ray Boudreaux, 64, two former Black Panthers, were scheduled to speak as part of the CSUSM event, but were arrested on January 23, 2007 for this same case from over thirty years ago. The morning of February 14, one of the scheduled speakers, Boudreaux appeared in court at 9AM for charges of murder and conspiracy, along with former Black Panthers Richard Brown, Henry Watson Jones, and Richard O'Neal. Ages 55-71, they Were brought in to Judge Donna Little's courtroom handcuffed and shackled at the ankles. Dr. Jodie Lawston from the sociology department opened Wednesday's event with a brief synopsis of the situation, and expressed how she considered canceling the event under the circumstances. She. went on to say, "I feel that the people who experience such oppression, directly, should be able to speak about it." She explained that the night before Ray Boudreaux had called to make a statement. Dr. Lawston states, "Ray called the Freedom Archives last night, and he wanted to tell everybody who came to this event that he was very sorry he could not be here today. He said, please tell everyone I wanted to be there but can not." After the film, Dr. Lawston and Dr. Elise opened the room to discussion. Dr. Elise clarified one student's question by saying, "You're question is why would they pursue them so adamantly even though they were innocent?" In response to the question Dr. Elise stated, "If you read about Cointelpro and its relationship to the Black Panther Party, you will see that they were out to destroy the Black Panther Party under any ruse." Dr. Lawston chimed in, "Two of the men who were arrested in 1971 were listed in Cointelpro as having to be neutralized. Neutralized was the exact language they used." Dr. Elise describes the persistent harassment of Black Panthers as a "mockery of liberty and justice," that fuels protests against police brutality. She shared about the film, "I was particularly struck by the film's point that the continuing pursuit of law-abiding Black Panther Party members is furthered by the Patriot Act that is invoked to justify their recent incarcerations based on the inclusion of statements extracted decades ago during torture by the police " According to BlackPanther.org, in October 1966, the late Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale founded the organization, originally called The Black Panther Party for Self Defense. The organization focused on the fight for basic human rights, as the video mentioned. The Party set up several community programs such as the Free Breakfast Program. Soon, the Black Panther Party became the target of the FBI's Cointelpro, Counterintelligence Program that focused on "neutralizing" civil rights activists. August 29 1971, Sgt. John V. Young was shot inside the Ingelside Police Station. According to, Freedomarchives.org, in 1973, thirteen men were arrested for supposedly having a role in Young's murder. The video, ''Legacy of Torture: The War Against the Black Liberation Movement," portrays the accounts of these men, in their own words, of how they were tortured during interrogation. In 1975, a court threw out the evidence obtained from these torturous interrogations. In 2003, the Department of Defense Te-opened the case with funding from the Department of Homeland Security.

In addition to playing with sex toys and having a stranger administrate lube to the entire room, a generous amount of mini-pastries were readily available. SHCS's Health Educator, Nguyen, thoroughly and efficiently educated the room on the differences between bacterial and viral STI's (sexually .transmitted infections).

The seminar also included edible massage creams, lubes and powders, along with various vibrators and a peculiar "lifelike masturbation sleeve" by the name of Gigi which Cruz said, as she addressed the women in the audience, will "swallow for you if you don't want to." Though certain people admitted that they left the seminar smelling like catsup and mulch because of the pheromones that Cruz said, "have different smells on everybody," most students left with a different take on how to spend Valentine's Day.

Bacterial STI's such as Chlamydia are often receptive to treatment with antibiotics whereas viral STI'S such as herpes are the fun ones that stay with you. Nguyen also brought to attention the importance of being tested and said,' "Every first Wednesday of the month, the health center provides free HIV testing, and you can get results within 20 minutes." The testing is also anonymous and operates on a walk-in basis. Health Education was brought to an end with STI jeopardy and a free hand out offlavoredlube and condoms. The sex toys, lubes and creams were administrated and displayed by Jackie Weber Cruz, who offered to give everyone "their ; Sheip Rats possess a lot df ' Year H$tfie ilare people are denceand entertainanopfimistio ambitions and skilled Hares are outlook onffffi;Rats wosk 4Mb excellent entertainers and li (%m$* extremely careful w Ä how and resistant to diange* Bacalisi edgeabk, tote ttb io ttóiik arts.

That's why the administration wants to break our union. They want us to shut up about the 76% Jump in student fees since 2002 (and about their plan to hike them another 10% per year from now till 2011). They want us to keep quiet while they increase class sizes and slash outreach budgets. But public universities should be affordable and accessible for all. We won't stand by while they wreck the CSU! W hy won't we sign the administration's contract? We've gone five years with almost no raises, but their salary offer won't even keep up with inflation. And it won't change the fact that the CSU pays almost 20% Jess than similar schools around the country. A great education takes great teachers, but skimpy salaries are driving good people out. iiiiriiitlJillili Faculty have not decided to strike yet, but will be voting soon on whether to hold job actions. These may include two-day walkouts designed to send a strong message to the administration without keeping students from graduating on time. if we don't take action, faculty won't be able to afford to teach here and students will be priced out of school. Our working conditions are your learning conditions. And we all deserve the very best! It's time to stand together to save our school. We hope we can count on your support.

Today, more than 11 million American women are currently taking an oral contraceptive, and research shows that 80 percent of all U.S. women born since 1945 have used the pill. There is currently another option out there for women who use oral contraceptives. Femcon Fe, the chewable version of Ovcon 35, was released in September o f2006 by international pharmaceutical company Warner Chilcott of Rockaway, NJ. The new chewable version is spearmint flavored to not only reduce the risk of pregnancy, but ensure fresh breath as well. When taken correctly, oral contraceptives have a failure rate of less than one percent per year. However, studies show that 47 percent of women miss one or more pills per month and missing pills can increase the risk of pregnancy. The idea is that women who have a problem swallowing pills, no matter how small, now have a choice. Warner Chillcot is also marketing Femcon Fe as appealing to the mint and gum chewing population of females. Someone who may forget to take their birth control pill at a consistent time daily may be more likely tp chew on one. The packet comes in a twenty-eight day regimen. There are twenty-one round white tablets followed by seven green (inactive) tablets to complete a four week cycle. It can be swallowed or chewed. If chewed then swallowed, it is important to drink a full eight-ounce glass of water to wash it down. CSUSM Senior Elizabeth Sheets discussed the matter, "I think it is improbable that a chewable pill will make you less likely to forget." She did not see the advantage to the spearmint flavor as an attraction saying, "It's still the pill, you know?" Another selling point of theflavor is an appeal to the younger generation of women that are looking for a desirable form of oral contraceptive. Young women who may lead a sporadic lifestyle with no regular routine can take Femcon Fe on the go. The intention of marketing to teenagers led CSUSM Senior Desiree Silva to remark, "Are they trying to encourage young girls to be sexually active?" She raises a good point, but contraceptives are not strictly for sexually active women. They can regulate the menstrual cycle and decrease bleeding. Oral contraceptives may provide benefits other than prevention of unintended pregnancy including protection against ovarian cancer, benign breast disease, pelvic inflammatory disease, and iron-deficiency anemia. The 75 milligrams of iron contained in the green "dummy" pills, taken during week four of the twentyeight day cycle, helps to fight iron-deficiency anemia. The risks are similar to that of other oral contraceptives. Blood clots, heart attack, and stroke are all possible side effects. The wholesale price is $44. Femcon Fe is not currently available at the Student Health and Counseling Services (SHCS). SHCS was not aware of the release of the Warner Chilcott product and the Director of the clinic Dr. Karen Nicholson said, "I don't know if we will carry it or not." On the issue of marketing to teenage girls Dr. Nicholson mentioned, "It is important that parents influence their children; not the media." SHCS does offer a wide variety of birth control such as condoms, birth control pills, and Depo-Provera which is taken by injection. For any questions regarding birth control or any other health issue contact SHCS at (760) 750-4915. Business hours are 8 AM - 4:45 PM, Monday through Friday and its location is conveniently located across the street from campus at 120 Craven Rd. Photo courtesy of Warner Chicott/AP HPV and Gardasil, you could be "one less" BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer For many women, cervical cancer is important and valid concern. Until recently though, there was no safeguard or precaution available to women to protect themselves from the uncertainty of cervical cancer; and one known cause for cervical cancer is the human papillomavirus, also referred to as HPV. HPV is a sexually transmitted virus that can be carried and transferred through sexual contact by both men and women. Photo courtesy of Merck & Co. HPV is most commonly passed had this virus. There are many on through sexual contact, (either different types of HPV. For most vaginal or anal sex), but can also people, the virus goes away on its be contracted through skin-to- own.

Last year however, the imperative measure to ensure the Food and Drug Administration safety and health of young girls licensed a new vaccine made by and women. For example, Texas Merck & Co., called Gardasil, Gov.

"Every year in the United States about 10,000 women get cervical cancer and 3,700 die from it. The most common cause of abnormal PAP smear results is due to HPV infection," said Karen Blattner, the Nurse Practitioner for the CSUSM Student Health and Counseling Services, in her column linked from the SHCS website. Gardasil is currently available at SHCS for female students, as the vaccine has not yet been approved for men. Yet although the vaccine is available to students at SHCS, it is still an expensive vaccine. Dr. Karen Nicholson, the Medical Director for SHCS said: "[the vaccine] does cost money, the charge at the health center is $120 per shot and it is a three shot series given over six months. This is costly and can be a problem. If students have health insurance, we encourage them to verify with their insurance company whether or not the vaccine is covered. If it is covered, we recommend that students use their insurance to obtain the vaccine. For students without health insurance, or who have insurance that doesn't cover the vaccine, Merck, the m anufacturer of Gardasil, has a pre- scription-assistance program that would allow students to get the vaccine for free. Students must meet the criteria established by Merck in order to get the vaccine for free. For questions about this process, please contact our Health Records Technician, Shelley Ross, and she will be able to assist you." If students have further questions about Gardasil, Dr. Nicholson encourages them to visit or make an appointment at SHCS. "We have lots of printed material about Gardasil, as well information on our website. Students are also given this information during visits with our Health Educator or with the Medical providers." SHCS is open Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. located at 120 Craven Road (directly across Twin Oaks Valley road from campus).

This ancient process has withstood history and remains in many societies throughout the world. Breweries and wineries utilize fermented sugar to produce beer and wine. The current drinking age for such beverages in the U.S. remains 21. However, dissimilar times and days for drinking differ amongst the states. Georgia restricts the sale of liquor on Sundays while Las Vegas allows for consumption of alcoholic beverages night or day any day of the week. Consumption of alcoholic beverages has lead to many traditions, especially on 21st birthdays. Venturing out to a bar at the stroke of midnight on a 21st birthday remains popular amongst society. "I went to the bar at 11:55 p.m. to kick off the day," said Junior DeLacy Brown a Liberal Studies major, who recently turned 21 in early February. "I went into the clubs the second the clock stroked midnight," said Junior Michael McBride. When asked if the tradition of drinking at midnight on 21st birthdays remains popular, Brown said "[it's] very much alive," as McBride said, "I think it is strong and alive." They also stated that there were no mishaps during their night of drinking at their fresh age of 21. "Realizing that I was 21 and legally able to drink, buy alcohol, [and] go to bars whenever I wanted if I heeded to made me feel like an adult," said McBride. However, the U.S. Senate is taking aim at this tradition. The U.S. Senate has passed House Bill 36, specifically for Texas, which has become known as the 'Cinderella Bill.' Under the proposed bill, people turning 21 would not be able to consume alcoholic beverages until 7 a.m. on their birthday. Similar bills are currently either in effect or still being proposed in other states. The bill originates from Texas. State Rep. Rob Eissler pioneered the bill after one of his constituencies' son died the day of "his 21st birthday due to a night of binge drinking. Under the 'Cinderella Bill' bars serving 21-year-olds before 7 a.m. will be guilty of committing a Class A misdemeanor, will receive a $4,000 fine and those whom served the alcohol could serve possible jail time. Furthermore, the bar could have its license for serving alcohol revoked or suspended. The rationale for the bill lies in the current situation created by legal hours of drinking. In California 2 a.m. signifies the deadline for all consumption and purchases of alcohol for the previous business day. If a person were to begin drinking at 12:00 a.m. (as many 21-year-olds often do) in honor of tradition, and participate in what's known as the "power-hour" (between midnight and 1 a.m.), they would only have two hours to consume alcohol. The bill hopes to discourage mass consumption of alcohol between the wee hours in the morning and in return prevent future deaths. Brown said, "I think [the Cinderella Bill] is absolutely ridiculous! Almost everyone I know celebrated their 21st birthday at the bar at midnight. I understand that some may think newly capable drinkers won't be responsible drinking too much while celebrating, but just a few more hours later isn't going to benefit anyone." CSUSM currently mandates an alcohol awareness program for all entering freshmen, and the Student Health and Counseling Services Center offers a variety of alcohol education programs, services, and peer advising. SHCS is open Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. located at 120 Craven Road (directly across Twin Oaks Valley road from campus).

BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos is currently striving to retain our title as "Grandmaster Recycling Champions" in the RecycleMania competition, a national contest motivating schools to cut down on waste. CSUSM has won the competition for the past two years. The good news is that CSUSM is currently first place in the competition. The not so good news is that we still have seven more weeks to go, and any of the other 200+ participating college campuses nationwide still have a shot at claiming the number one spot. Recycling is relatively easy to do at CSUSM. In fact, sometimes it is more difficult to find a trash can with all of the multitudes of recycling bins at our disposal. The people responsible for CSUSM's wonderful recycling program call themselves the Green Team which includes Facilities Services personnel Mui Sullivan, Steve Waiters, Carl Hansen and Ed Johnson. They are in charge of deciding where to put trash and recycling bins throughout the campus. However, according to Green Team member Ed Johnson, the members of the Blue Crew are the guys doing the real work. Blue Crew members can be seen collecting recycling items and trash wearing blue shirts and driving white golf cart-type vehicles. Blue Crew members include James Dimortino, Rafael Lopez, Nicolas Magana, Gilbert Muffoz, Mike Tili and Green Team representative Carl Hansen. These guys are serious about recycling, and a large part of why we are currently winning RecycleMa- nia 2007 is because of their dedication. Nothing makes them sadder than to see recyclable items in the trash, and although they do what they can to make sure that everything that is recyclable gets recycled, they do not have the time to correct every trash can infraction. "Give them support and a pat on the back," said Johnson. A good way to show support for the Blue Crew and RecycleMania is to recycle; and around CSUSM, it is certainly not difficult to do so. Recycling bins are everywhere, and almost everything can be recycled. Only items like yogurt cups, microwavable trays, Styrofoam, plastic grocery bags, pizza boxes, non-jar and non-bottled glass, high-gloss paper, napkins, tissue and spiral notebooks cannot be recycled. Even batteries and printer cartridges can be recycled on campus. Although our campus has bins labeled "mixed paper" "bottles" and "cans," these are merely suggestions and any recyclable material can be placed in any recycle bins. Johnson also says that faculty can help with RecycleMania by doing their spring cleaning before the contest ends on April 7. The Facilities Services on campus have a goal to reach zero waste, meaning that nothing is wasted. Their vision is to create a better world starting with Cal State San Marcos. According to statistics on the official RecycleMania web site, CSUSM i s not only first place in the grand champion category, but also in the corrugated cardboard category. In the Per Capita Classic, CSUSM is currently in fifth place.

Soon after the Chargers lost to twotime superbowl MVP Tom Brady and the Patriots 24-21, the bizarre happenings began. LaDanian Tomlinson, who is Mr. Humble in this age of the attention hoarding star, took offense to the Patriots' mimicry of Shawne Merriman's sack dance on the Bolts logo at mid-field. Tomlinson openly criticized Patriots Coach Bill Bellicheck for the way his team conducted themselves. A team with three superbowl rings in this millennium should have a bit more class, but L.T.'s comments were uncharacteristic of the reigning league MVP. The Chargers had a choice to make following a record setting regular season that came crashing down in the playoffs in front of the record home crowd of 68,810. Could the owners of the franchise, the Spanos family, actually fire a coach who had led this team to win 14 games? The Bolts two regular season losses were by three points each, as was the playoff loss. Coaches matter most in close games. It's the decisions made in crunch time, when the game is on the line that defines a head coach. There is also that little thing about the post season. This game is about Superbowl titles, of which the Chargers have none. Marty Schottenheimer is a winner. He has 200 career regular season victories as a head coach, sixth all-time. Every stop has been a successful one. Teams are better with Marty as head coach than they were before he arrived, that isn't in doubt. His track record speaks for itself. The problem is the post season. This year was supposed to be different. With an eye-popping 5 up and 12 down record in the playoffs, Marty was due to eventually win one. Even with the best team in the league on paper, Schottenheimer found a way to lose when the stakes are highest. His first playoff loss came during the second Reagan Administration. His last win, with Joe Montana as his quarterback, was when Bill Clinton was serving his first term in the White House. He's lost six straight since 1993. He's been one-and-done nine times. They've been tough and close; eight have been by five points or less, two have gone to overtime. The players liked Schottenheimer. Chargers' General Manager A.J. Smith did not. Their relationship was tenuous and almost non-existent, even to the point the two men had an intermediary when communicating. After the gut-wrenching home playoff loss to the Patriots many fans were calling for the coach to be fired. Schottenheimer had one year left on his contract and the offer to extend an extra year was at a substandard rate. A.J. Smith did not want Schottenheimer to stay, that was obvious, but for continuity's sake offered him one year at less money than he was currently making. Marty scoffed at the offer and was in turn put in the "lame-duck" category, when a coach is in his final year. With questions about their future, the coaches under Schottenheimer began a mass migration towards job security. Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, whose squad led the league in points and produced an MVP in Tomlinson, left to become the head coach in Miami. Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, architect of a defense that led the league in quarterback sacks, took the head coaching job in Dallas. Linebacker's coach Greg Manusky is the new defensive coordinator in S.F. and tight end's coach Rob Chudzinski will be the offensive coordinator in Cleveland. The whirl of the coaching carousel led to even more dissension between lame-duck Schottenheimer and GM Smith. Marty wanted his brother to interview for one of the coaching vacancies, while Smith couldn't stand having one Shottenheimer around. So a month after the Chargers kicked their fans in the gut one more time, Marty Schottenheimer was canned. The core of this team is laden with great young talent that's under contract till 2009 or beyond. Even so, there is a window of opportunity for a team, and this town is eagerly awaiting the chance to celebrate a superbowl win. Let's hope GM A. J. Smith and the Spanos family, máke the right decisions in getting this team hungry to advance deep into the playoffs following the 2007 season. imwtMm SWIM INSTRUCTORS!!! $11.00 - $18.00 per hour , ^ Customer •••PHL 1* „ _ IVI^rai program is underway.

Using the headlines "Something must be done" and "Girl hit by car suffers minor injuries," seems to be making a big deal out of little news and reminds me of MSNBC or FOX news. Sensational journalism is something that a university newspaper should be trying to stamp out, rather than have its own editor-in-chief promote it himself. The press is a powerful tool, often called the 4th branch of government because of the power it wields, the use of headlines that are informative and not inflationary is paramount to a respectable print.

In 1992, Ballast Point started Home Brew Mart. In 1996 they decided to build their own brewery in the back of their store, and they started brewing the September of 1996. They not only brew awardwinning beer but they will help you get started brewing your own. Ballast Point currently distributes five award-winning beers, Yellowtail Pale Ale, Calico Amber Ale, Big Eye I.P.A., Black Marlin Porter and Wahoo Wheat. The one that I chose to enjoy was the Ballast Point Yellowtail Pale Ale. . I was f irst introduced to Yellowtail Pale Ale in Solana Beach at the Fish House just east of the 101 Highway. I was ordering some of the world best fish tacos and trying to decide on a beer to wash them down with. They have a fairly good selection of beer there, so I was having a hard time narrowing it down. I am a sucker for local brews, so when they told me that Ballast Point brews and bottles their beer locally in San Diego, I was sold. As I sat down with my f ish tacos and my own pitcher of Yellowtail, suddenly out of nowhere a few friends showed up to help me finish the beer. How they knew where I was I still don't know, but, as always, it was a good time. Everyone enjoyed the beer and most of my food. Knowing that the beer didn't travel more than 25 miles to make it to my glass, made it even more refreshing. They Yellow Tail Pale Ale, is know as a Kolsch type of beer. Kolsch originated in Cologne, Germany. The Yellow Tail is brewed using wheat and is pale in color. It is fermented at warm temperatures with ale yeast. Yellow Tale tastes like a pilsner beer, but it has a hint of fruitiness because of the Tettnanger hops and ale yeast that are used, although it is less bitter than most German beers. Ballast Point claims that Yellow Tale is fermented with yeast that they stole from breweries in Cologne Germany. Unlike most ale, Yellow .Tail f inishes very smooth with a very mild aftertaste. In Cologne Germany, Kolsch Beer is brewed by 21 breweries, which makes Cologne the city with the most breweries in the world. Unfortunately for us, however, none of those breweries export to the.U.S. So, we only have a handful of breweries that brew Kolsch beer and Ballast Point is one of those. The Yellow Tale Pale ale is their Kolsch Beer. Ballast Point beers are available at Beverages and More, also you will find there are a few local bars and restaurants that Image courtesy of Ballast Point Brewing Company have it on tap. You can also visit the brewery at 5401 Linda Vista Road suite 406 San Diego, CA. They will gladly give you a tour of their facilities.

They choose what Internet sites to get their news; they TiVo the types of television programs they like, and they only listen to the music they choose on their MP3 players. People can now choose to go throughout life without ever being exposed to a new point of view. This is why a college education is so important: it opens up the boxed-in minds of its students. Cal State San Marcos not only aims to open students' minds through diversity-conscious educational programs, but through the arts events on campus. On Thursday, February 15, the Tanosaki-Richards duo performed for an audience in Arts 111. The type of music the Tanosaki-Richards duo perform is a perfect example of music the typical college student would not normally be exposed to. Tanosaki-Richards's piano and clarinet npiusic infuses modern Japanese style music with experimental sounds that many people have never before heard. The duo consists of pianist Kazuko Tanosaki and clarinetist E. Michael Richards. The duo, who are married to each other, have been playing together since 1982. They met while pursuing degrees at the University of San Diego. Richards received his Ph.D. from the University of San Diego after getting his bachelor degree at the New England Conservatory and his masters at Yale School of Music. Tanosaki has a bachelor degree from the Kunitachi College of Music in Japan, a masters from University of San Diego and a DMA in piano performance and literature from the Eastman School of Music. As a duo, they have performed in various prestigious venues ranging from the Piacenza Conservatory in Milan, Italy to the dux> Lincoln Center in New York City. The type of piano and clarinet music they play is unlike anything heard on a regular radio station. It is not classical music, and it was surprising to hear something so different from instruments that are so ordinary. They played five different songs on Thursday, and before performing, they explained a little about each song. The first song they played was "Jakkyo (Quiet Sounds)" composed by Japanese artist Masao Honma.- This song was particularly interesting because Richards played two different tones at the same time with his clarinet. u Out Of a Blaze of Light" was the next song performed. Written by Japanese composer Hiroyuki Itoh, the song featured clarinet quarter tones $nd a multilayered timing technique used by the pianist. The next two songs were solo pieces. "Elegy" by Italian composer Carlo Alessandro Landini was a clarinet piece that was much more melodic than the other selections. "Piano Distance" by Toru Takemitsu was an open form song that Tanosaki played with precision and emotion. Their final song "Mirror" by Shirotomo Aizawa was a shorter piece that had an interesting haiku sequence within. The concert was the first of the Funes Fund Concert Series, which features performers who provide new and exciting artistic experiences for Cal State San Marcos students. This concert series was established in memory of founding faculty member Don Funes of the visual performing arts department. Upcoming concerts include Ho-Asogli, an ensemble featuring traditional West African drumming and dance on Wednesday, March 7 at noon, and an Irish session band on Monday, March 12, at 7:30 p.m. Both events will be held in Arts 111. These concerts are a wonderful opportunity to break out and explore the musical stylings of different cultures.

"Bridge to Terabithia" is certainly one of those children's books that adults will always fawn over for its inspiring story and great literary significance. However, it is also a book that children can enjoy simply for its own sake, and that is a very rare combination. Katherine Paterson avoids any heavy-handed moralizing and contrived plot devices and instead has written a book that maintains the perfect balance between entertainment and enlightenment, which is probably why it won a Newberry MedaL The main character of the book is Jess, a fifth-grade boy Photo courtesy ofSamantha Loomis Paterson The preteen book-with-alesson genre has been popular for many years. For every parent or teacher who has Movie Review who is "the only boy smashed between four sisters" in a poor family. At school he is the strange kid who likes to draw. At home, his mother favors his sisters, and his father thinks he is a sissy. One day a girl named Leslie moves into the farmhouse next door. The family is different from anything Jess's conservative small town has ever seen. Leslie doesn't have a TV, and she doesn't wear dresses. She races the boys at recess time—and wins. Jess and Leslie become best friends, and together they navigate their way through the hazards of being different. They invent their own imaginary land, Terabithia, where they are king and queen. Then one day a catastrophe strikes, and Jess has to deal with the loss of the only person in his life that made him happy. Katherine Paterson's realistic storytelling in this book is truly inspired. The setting and characters are based on a rural community near Washington, D.C., and the reader gets the feeling that he or she really could go visit this small town. Very few of the characters are simply flat plot devices, there to foil the hero and heroine or move the plot along. Even the most seemingly insignificant characters actually have very complex reasons for the way they behave. Likewise,, not all of the problems and challenges that Paterson creates get neatly wrapped up and resolved by the enci of the book. The most powerful part of the book is Paterson's description of the grief and loss that Jess experiences. She was inspired to write this book when her own son's best friend was killed in a tragic accident, and her story has an authenticity that could only come from someone who experienced the senseless loss of a child first hand. It's easy to see why "Bridge to Terabithia" is such a favorite of teachers. There are is a lot of material that could be used for instruction in the classroom. It is fairly easy to pick out material that could be used for discussions about characterization, setting, symbolism and foreshadowing. But even though they may be learning while they read, kids will love this book anyway. It had me completely absorbed right from the beginning, and by the end I was sobbing like a baby. SCREEN A DAPTION F AUS SHORT Bridge to Terabithia BY SARAH PULTZ Pride Staff Writer "Bridge to Terabithia" is a favorite of many children and adults, so i t's no surprise that Hollywood eventually decided to t urn the book into a movie. However, it is surprising that the filmmakers missed the opportunity to turn what is arguably one of the greatest children's books of all time into anything more than a mediocre vehicle for CGI e ffects. The filmmakers chose to leave out many of the most moving and meaningful moments of the book, j ust to make room for some stunning visuals and intense plot twists. While these additions are certainly very pretty and exciting, they are nothing more than that—all f luff and no substance or significance. The moyie does stay t rue to both the plot and t he tone of the b ook. * People who have seen t he t railers and are hoping t hat t his movie is going to be a nother " Narnia'Mike f antasy story, will be d isappointed.

In a way, " Bridge t o T erabithia" is a ctually his story b ecause h is mother was i nspired t o w rite the book a fter t he death of his own best f riend when he was eight y ears old.

The imaginary that we'll never really know. land of Terabithia plays a much Image courtesy of Weta Digital Ltd. bigger role in the movie than in the book, but this wouldn't really be a problem if it hadn't squeezed out some of the better elements of the book. The movie falls short in its depiction of Jess's terrible tragedy. He has to learn to deal with the loss without losing the amazing g ifts his f riend gave him. While, the book depicts Jess's grief with heartbreaking realism, the itiovie glosses over these moments. What could have been some very powerful and moving scenes come and go in the f ilm without any real buildup or tension, almost as though David Paterson couldn't bear to relive them in a realistic way. Also, one of my favorite subplots is the tension between Jess and his father (Robert Patrick).

The audience can see her character develop from a background character to one that demands the attention and recognition of Thornton's Charles Farmer. She is the heart and the anchor of the family, a position that in life oftentimes lacks the appreciation it deserves. Thornton's performance seems effortless as the brilliant, hardworking aerospace engineer whose efforts are mocked and reduced to insane inventions by his detractors. Though there are imaginative aspects of "The Astronaut Farmer" that put to the test even the most amenable audience member's ability to suspend disbelief for 104 minutes, it is the relationships between the characters and not the plot that makes this film stimulate that mysterious mechanism inside each of us that stirs our thoughts and stimulates our capacities to dream. her dream," Madsen explained. "She's been married for 27 years, and [her husband and her] rocket was a diner. Her husband was a chef, and he always wanted to own his own restaurant . .. They all worked in the restaurant, and he made his dream come true. It became their collective dream. They were the Farmers, and that's where I got my inspiration and that's why the story made sense to me." Madsen said she can identify with the idea of holding on to a dream no matter what anybody says. "My rocket was Hollywood," Madsen revealed. "I wanted to be a professional actress, and I was a fireman's daughter. So, that was about as crazy as building a rocket, but I believed in myself and so did my parents." Of making her own dream come true, Madsen articulated, "You get discouraged a lot, but if you have faith and if you continue to believe in yourself, it doesn't matter how long it takes - you'll get there. It's about longevity. It's about perseverance." After years of feeling underestimated by the film industry, Madsen's perseverance finally paid off. "[The film 'Sideways'] changed everything," she said. "I think the most important thing it did for me, not just being able to choose projects like this, the kind of people I work with now, but it gave me a lot of confidence. That was the most important thing. Going through an awards season with a movie like that, I gained a lot of confidence during that experience." Madsen also attributed some of her new-found confidence to her age. "[45] is the best age. There is more confidence that comes in your 40s of course. It's such a great age for women. 'Desperate Housewives' are having it too. Now it's cool. Now it's chic to be a woman in your 40s, because you're now considered like you know things. (Coy smile.) So, we're sexy now."

Pictures The Pride interviews: T h e P olish B rothers BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer A large glowing orb loomed, emanating pulsating hues of blue, orange, and red; vintage aircrafts hovered above; portraits of legends such as Neil Armstrong, Amelia Earhart, Charles Lindbergh, and Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. occupied The Hall of Fame, and the Apollo 9 Command Module Capsule stood proudly near the entrance to San Diego Air & Space Museum. There really couldn't have been a more suitable setting for the San Diego stop on the publicity tour for "The Astronaut Farmer." "'The Astronaut Farmer' started out as an independent [film]," said the film-making duo the Polish Brothers. "We made it independently under Warner Brothers Independent. That is ideally the best way to make a studio picture." The Polish Brothers are famous for such indie flicks as "Twin Falls Idaho," "Jackpot," which won the 2001 Independent Spirit Awards, and "Northfolk," an official selection of the 2003 Sundance Film Festival. The brothers, identical twins from El Centro, California, said they think about stories in a similar way. "There hasn't been anything where I'm like, 'Wow, that's -incredibly bad. That's awful * said Michael Polish of his brother's contributions to the collaborative process. "Whoever comes up with the idea takes the f irst d raft. Or, w e'll do an outline together, and then w e'll go do a d raft and pass it back and forth. Lately, he's been writing a screenplay by himself. I've been writing by myself," Michael explains. "You still need a clear driver on d rafts," he continues. " Let's say, for instance, Mark does a whole d raft. I 'll read it and say, 'Maybe these two characters are sounding the same. You need to make them more distinctive or get ride of them. In a way, I become an editor for his screenplay, and he becomes an editor for my screenplay." The Polish brothers made "The Astronaut Farmer" into even more of a family affair than usual by casting their ypung daughters in the roles of young Stanley and Sunshine Farmer, Michael's 7-year-old Jasper, and Mark's 4-year-old Logan, respectively. Once they knew they were going to use their daughters for the roles, the brothers went back and made adjustments to the characters of Stanley and Sunshine. Michael and Mark knew their strengths and played to them. They were nervous about putting their kids into the roles, however, and Mark said he doesn't plan on doing it again. On working with Virginia Madsen, who plays Audrey "Audie" Farmer, wife of rocketbuilding Charles Farmer, the brothers said she was "great. Great instincts. A lot of f un. Good mother. Both of them together, [Madsen and Thorntori], they were very f un to watch." Of her character, they elaborated, "She's the glue in that family." A fter they are done prompting "The Astronaut Farmer," the brothers' will move on to science fiction with their screenplay, "I.D."

The movie is about working really hard to make your dreams come true and never giving up on your dream against all odds," said Virginia Madsen on February 15 at the San Diego Air & Space Museum in Balboa Park, which was one stop on the publicity tour for the film "The Astronaut Farmer." Madsen, whose filmography includes roles in movies such as "Dune," "The Rainmaker," "Sideways," and "A Prairie Home Companion," not to mention numerous television appearances, said she based the character of Audrey "Audie" Farmer, loving and supportive wife of Charles Farmer (Billy Bob Thornton), who builds a rocket in his barn and intends to launch it into space, on her sister whose dream was to raise children.

T he b uilding, called Building 15, has been designed to accommodate offices^ classrooms, and labs, as well as hosting new d istance l earning technology. Prop 203 provides $14.5 million for t he building's construction and for modifications to the campus utility plant. T he following y ear, i t would provide $1.5 million to equip building 15. Building would begin October, 1996, iffunds are available, and would be completed by J une of 1998. I t would house labs for Business Administration, Foreign Languages, Literature and Writing, Psychology, Social Sciences, and Education. On t he technological side, video broadcasts will be accessible from each lab and classroom, and 300 stations will be capable of broadcasting as well as receiving. Plans state t hat four high end multimedia stations will be contained within t he buildingfor the development of digital instruction modules, and each classroom and lab will have network connec- tion. Design work on a permanent library for Cal State San Marcos would also be funded with $1.1 million by Prop. 203. Even with t he addition of Building 15, campus growth would still be behind schedule when compared to the number of new students t he University plans to take in each year. K-12 schools would receive $2 billion, while $975 million would be divided among the community colleges, University of California and t he California S tate U niversity campuses. A similar proposition t hat would have given birth to Building 15 was proposed in 1994, b ut was shot down by voters. Since then, additions have been made in Building 15's telecommunication capabilities, according to Campus Physical Planning Director Russel Decker. Building 15 is one oftwo new buildings in the next budget year for t he California S tate University System.

Ihisthelargestprivte cash donationgivento CSUSM to date. With an endowed scholarship, only the interest generated by the donation is used while the principal amount remains in perpetuity. In order to be eligible to apply for this scholarship, students must demonstratefinancialneed and academic accomplishment, have a grade point average of at least 3.0, and be a U.S. citizen. The interest earned by the donation should be enough to provide about ten students with scholarships. Evers felt that through this endowment, he and his wife could help students in their efforts in higher education, an opportunity that they never had. The Evers are childless, but have a keen interest in young people. Mr. Evers was as reticentto discuss he and his wife's personal accomplishments and life styles as he was generous in his donation to the university. TheEvers were long-time residentsof North County CSUSM donor Leonard Evers By Paul Hilker Staff Writer AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) held a motivational conference for North Countyjunior high and high school students on February 9th. AVID is a program that helps secondary school students think about educational goals through workshops and conferences. The AVID program, founded seven years ago in San Diego county, worked in conjunction with the Student Affirmative Action (SAA) of CSUSM to put on this special event. Over 300 studentsfromvarious North County high schools and junior high schools were presented with numerous interactive workshops organized around t he central t heme "Empowerment through knowledge." A staff of mostly CSUSM faculty and students was well prepared for the small mass of youngster. Some motivational speakers spoke to the students on issues like goal development, confidence, and self empowerment and advisors and computer lab technicians introduced them to the library and computer resources here on campus. Steven Jones, the opening speaker, initiated the day by creating an amiable, spontaneous atmosphere. After Jones cited a poem which illustrated the need for human understanding and empathy, the audience was clearly attentative and receptive. Speaking in a language the students could clearly relate with J ones addressed the importance of self-awareness and self-empowerment through a desire for knowledge. "We all need to be truth seekers," Jones stressed. Among the other motivational speakers were Veronica Woodrow, an Organizational Effectiveness SpecialistfromSan Diego, and CSUSM TRIO Director and motivational trainer Calvin One Deer Gavin. According to Mary Wardell, the SAA outreach coordinator, theconference was a big success. "The overwhelming positive response from the students let us know that these programs are imperative for high school students under-represented in colleges. They in encourage the students to pursue higher education and career goals," said Wardell.

Additional classroom space and labs (in the planned "Building 15") would be spawned from the additional funds as well as plans for a permanent library. Even with the addition of Building 15, CSUSM would still be behind in it's expansion to compensate for the forecasted rise in number of students in the years to come. What it comes down to is CSUSM plans to accept an additional number of students each year. Two things will happen without the addition of more classroom space. Firstly, not as many new students will be accepted as the University has planned. Secondly, the school's population will still increase to some extent, raising class sizes and making it harder for students to get needed classes One of the pluses of CSUSM is the small class size. The Pride would like to keep it that way. The Pride supports Prop. 203, and recognizes that additional funds are anecessity to keep up with the constantiy advancing world, as well as to offer higher education to as many as possible, without sacrificing the quality of the education those currently enrolled are experiencing. Casting a vote for 203 is supporting education. If it fails, those who voted against it have merely taken a step to negate planned growth and advancement, and deny students a superior learning environment Students are at CSUSM to experience a superior learning environment, and one not caught in the established bureaucracy of decades past This university isfresh,new and energized with revolutionary curriculum and technology. For CSUSM to retain it's academic edge, growth through funds provided by Prop. 203 is mandatory. ftJetterig editor ^are welcome * All lettersiimst be signed by the author and include bis or her j | name, mailing address* major and jphone number.

This was the time of the American Dream. That dream has over time, morphed into welfare checks and college loans. Most people believe that big business is bad. Punks hold the belief that corporations ruin everyday life. As you read this article, a multi-million dollar company, England based Penguin Books Lmt (publishes selfhelp books, RAW, Stephen King, and half of your educational literature) is suing my small press comic book company, Penguin Palace (publishes Tori do, Thief, and Avalanche) for $100,000. I'm guessing that most of you have never seen $100,000.1 certainly haven't. I'm 17 years old, and a business major at this University. My parents are paying my way through school, not my company or the government. In 1994, Penguin Books made $75,000,000while Penguin Palace had $250 to its name. I do comics because they make people laugh, not because I'm going to buy Lithuania and turn it into a refuge for sunburnt penguins. Last fall, Penguin Books saw my WWW page. If you netsearch the word "penguin," Penguin Palace is listed before Penguin Books. They set their New York lawyers after me on trademark violation, which means that I can't use the word "Penguin" or a penguin drawing in the company name or logo. Someone please find me a live penguin who can verbally tell a judge that their identity shouldn't have a trademark on it. How many similar companies have the word "women" in their name, or uses a cat as a symbol? In the Industrial Era, a large company would find silly reasons to shut down smaller ones, to have a larger slice of the pie. Competition is a large part of business. A lot of times, people who read novels on a frequent basis aren't the same type of people who collect comics. People aren't going to confuse the two companies, Penguin Palace and Penguin Books. I KOLB T uwJoY€E Big companies have an advantage because they have the expensive lawyers on their side. They could be suing me for writing on the wrong side of a sheet of notebook paper, and would still win the case. There are lawyers who offer free legal help, but what happens if you have a case that doesn't qualify? Why should a multi-million dollar company be afraid of a 17 year old, just because of the person's ability to use a computer? Computers are not that complicated. There are a lot of people younger than me who can code 3D games, viewers, and other useful applications. I don't run linux and I haven't learned HTML yet. Only 2% of the world's population is on the Internet, but Penguin Books seems to think that because of my WWW page and involvement with electronic magazines, that I am a threat to their company. In the Industrial Era, there was a lack of information and education. Schools are now pushing for computer literacy and higher education. That's scaring corporate businessmen sitting in stuffy conference rooms who can intimidate their competition.

This feeling of good will is directed at our public safety office. Whenever I or a friend has had car trouble a t the campus; say a dead battery, or keys locked in t he car, t he willing and able officers of Public Safety have been ready to jump to the rescue with jumper cables or a slim-jim in hand. It was not until my car had a dead battery at San Diego State University t hat I realized t he uniqueness of even these basic of services. It was 5 P.M. on Tuesday night, and my car was dead in a parking garage of S.D.S.U. I didn't have jumper cables with me, and I couldn't find anyone else with a set either. Conditions were not right for popping t he clutch, sol finally flagged down a S.D.S.U. police car. After hearing my story, I was told t hat t he San Diego State Public Safety office does not offer vehicle jumping services, as they were afraid of shorting out their electrical system. I was then strongly advised to call a tow truck tojump my battery. Thinking t hat this most, a poor one. My only option was to call a tow company to perform a two minute operation at the price of $40-a good half of my bank account. Luckily it was only 7 P.M. and I was able to call my girlfriend to drive from San Marcos to help me. I am still confused as to why S.D.S.U., who's student government alone operates on 1/2 the money our entire campus operates o n, can't even provide the most basic of emergency assistance to the student.

Although I would concede his opint refering to women as 'girls' is not necessarily sexist, it is undoubtably patronizing. Until rather recently, AfricanAmerican men were frequently called "boys" by Caucasian men. Very few, if any, of t hese Caucasian men were visually impaired, and could t hus easily , observe these grown men were in no way "boys." So there must be another reason for their use of this term. I submit t hat it was an attempt to alienate these African-American men, and to "keep them in their place" by refusing to acknowledge their status as adults. Similarly, when men refer to obviously grown women' as "girls," it is a veiled attempt to "keep them in their place," or as Mr. Vitrano suggests, a t home watching talk shows.

(Unless of course t he D.J. referred to working women as girls) For those of you who still do not get it, girls and boys are children, t o refer to an adult using these terms is to simply imply t hat the adult is a child.

Grubbs literature and Writing Studies CSUSM has 'nice people' To the Editor, On Nov. 15, in the afternoon, I left my wallet in one of the women's restrooms in the ACD building. The very second I realized I had forgotten it, I panicked! It contained a wad of cash, apaycheck, not to mention my d river's licence, c redit card,etc. I began to immediately - envision the immense hassle of replacing all I had lost. This was an additional stress I did not need! At my realization, I ran out of clas, and proceeded to go directly to the restrookm where I knew I had left it. It wasn't there! I ran to every class on the first floorto ask ifanyone had seen my wallet. Crazy? As the classes ended, some of my classmates saw me, and of course wondered what had h appened (I looked so distressed). One ofthe girls said to check the lost and foundat student services. She said there were a lot af really nice people on campus and that somebody probbly t urned it in. I was feeloing a little skeptical, but as we wlked in the door to student servies, there it was! And not a thing was missing! There are nice people on this campus! I'd like to say a very special thank-you to the student who r eturned my w allet untouched! May the favor be returned to you some day! Ann Thompson Psych. San Diego teachers do not care Dear Editor, San Diego teachers should be placed on a merit systemperiod. They should receive merit raises for producing a top notch competitive product. But no- their union tells them to strike, so they go on strike. If their union bosses told them td put their heads between their legs, they'd probably do t hat too. The few caring teachers who did cross the picket line werejeered at for beingtraitors. Striking teachers should be a sking t hemselves t his question: Why should they be r ewarded w ith a r aise f or producing an inferior product? In t he p rivate sector, poor performance gets you fired. In California government schools, it means you deserve a raise. It is obvious t hat t he "victim" mentality has trickled into the r anks of government school teachers- a nother symptom t hat government doesn't work. And why should teachers be rewarded for making threats to California taxpayers-like the Mafia when they don't get what t hey w ant? C alifornia government schools already p roduce i lliterate k ids, unprepared for college or the real world, and for this we should reward them with a raise? Taxpayers are not t hat naive t hat they would want to subsidize extortionists or poor performance. If government school teachers are unhappy with their salaries, they should find a job at a private school, or better yet, their own. But when recipients of taxpayer f unds t hreaten t o h arm t he very c hildren of t hose s ame taxpayers, it is difficult to find sympathy or compassion for their cause.

You're feeling the heavy heart, the tightness in the gut, the tense gloom, ruminating on the hopelessness ofit all: "I can't believe I let it get out of hand UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO again! I feel like such an idiot....and I swore this semester would be different. What happened to t he first four weeks of school? How could I be this f ar behind already? If this is how you are spending your spare time these days, let us offer you some suggestions t hat you might find helpful. As you catch yourself going round and round over some unfinished tasks, ask yourself: is this train of thought productive? Am I making a plan, reviewing what actually needs to be done? Rehearsing some important material I need to learn? If not, STOP! If you are tellingyourselfover and over t hat you messed up, are a failure, feel terrible, will never get it done in time, stop! This is probably not only a waste of time, but can have the consequence of making you less likely to do your best when you do t urn to the work at hand. Study in San Viegefer the Summer...

How to stop? Distract yourself. Find something less destructive to think about, or do something t hat you can make progress on. These usually result in an enhanced mood and sense of purpose. What you do next will likely be better... If this doesn't work, you could try a technique called "Thought Stopping": when you are in t hat negative stream of thought, dwelling repeatedly on t he hopelessness and unfairness of it a ll, suddenly scream "Stop!!" to yourself and perhaps picture a huge red Stop sign in your mind's eye. You will notice t hat this scream, this image, actually does interrupt t he stream of thought momentarily. As it does, and you go blank, take a slow, deep breath, smile a little bit, and redirect your thinking to more pleasant or useful directions. Break the job down into parts, and focus on doing one part at a time. For many students, procrastination includes the thought of the work to do as immense and overwhelming.

Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, a very small structure at the cen- ., ter ofthe brain. It is being sold " as a dietary supplement with no medical claims on its label. Therefore, a t this time, the Food and Drug Administration has no jurisdiction. It is being sold primarily at health food stores and at some pharmacies but not as a medication. Incredible claims arebeingpromised, mostly in the media and in published books, almost all without scientific evidence or any significant studies backing the claims. This new miracle drug (although not considered a drug by the manufacturers) supposedly combats aging, helps jet lag, reduces your risk ofchronic disease, lowersyour blood pressure and enhances your immune system and your sex life. Ask yourself if you would take a supplement or medication (in this case a hormone) if the following were true: JOEL 1. The therapeutic effects are not clearly known. 2. The purity of t he product is not guaranteed. 3. The potency of the product is not guaranteed. 4. Studies have not been finished to determine proper dosage for different therapeutic effects. 5. Interactions with other medications or foods are unstudied. 6. The possible side effects have not been documented in scientific studies. All of the above are t rue for melatonin. Anythingthat is billed asamiracle or wonder drug or supplement has to b etaken with a grain of salt. At this time, I don't recommend you take melatonin. If you are having significant distress or symptoms, see your health care provider first. �NOFX show fun withSpunk ideals Where: oma When: Feb. 8 By Joyce K ob Staff Writer If you like t he fast, wacky sound of NOFX, mixed with sheep bestiality (check out the cover oftheir latest album) and five swarming, sweaty mosh pits, you would have had a great time a t t he Soma show on Feb. 8.

This unique exhibition examines how artists depict themselves and others. Through working in painting, photography, sculpture, and installation, thirty-two local, national, and international artists feature themselves in their work as they explore their "roles as individuals and artists, image makers and storytellers, directors and actors, men and women." Works include self-portraits by renown artist Andy Warhol, the redefinition of portraiture pieces of Chuck Close. Recreations of themselves are brought to life by photographers Cindy Sherman and Yasumura as they recreate themselves in various settings and guises in their portrait paintings. Audrey Flack's powerful bronze sculpture portrays woman as goddess and evokes her belief of the power that artists have. Walking through the museum you can's help but notice some of these magnificent creations. Dennis Oppenheim's "theme for a Major Hit" entertains you with its ten mechanical marionettes that dance to "It ain't what you make, ifs what makes you". Tim Hawkinson's "Signature" is a fascinating desk with motors that creates actual signatures. Audrey Flack's statue of "Islandia, Goddess of the Healing Waters" overshadows you with an omnipresent beauty all its own. Bruce Nauman's wax castings ofthe heads ofhis studio assistant and friends catches you by surprise as they dangle on strings. Janine Antoni's "lick and Lather" sculptures of chocolate and soap reference purity,hygiene,and everydayrituals. Kim Dingle invite you into her "Priss Room" G Image created by Rimma Gerlovina & Valerie erlovin, Vintage 1990, courtesy off the artists, Robert Koch, & California Center for the Arts where her realistic doll-likefiguresevoke the images and emotions of childhood in anyone. These artists have been brought together to illustrate their different and individualistic techniques to face and represent themselves. In conjunction with this exhibition John Welchman, Assistant Professor at UCSD, will present a slide lecture onThursday, February 29, entitled "Faces and Powers". It will be held in the California Center for the Arts Center Theater at 7 p.m. and is free. Also as part of Narcissism, San Diego artist, David Baze will use the museum as a stage to paint a portrait of him self from March 9 through March 15 in the Museum Gallery during Museum hours. Narcissism started on February 4 and ends May 26 with the museum's hours Tuesday through Saturday 10 am to 5 p.m., Sundays 12 to 5 p.m., and closed on Mondays and major holidays.

Vol vn No. 19/ Monday, February 21,2000 Students gathered around street preacher Jed Smock Thursday, February 17, at the campus Free Speech area between Academic and Science Halls. Pastor Smock paced back and forth on the wide edge of a cement planter outside of the main entrance to Academic Hall and preached to a raucous crowd about what he called the evils of smoking, drinking alcohol, lying, homosexuality, and "whoremongering". "You've believed the lies of Charles Darwin. Many of you copulate like rabbits and love like dogs." Students alternately heckled and questioned the preacher. One student was overheard saying "he has done too much LSD, " and another student, Freshman Brian Sullivan, said, "Let him speak. I think it's interesting." The crowd engaged the preacher in debates and discussions on many topics including the alleged sexual promiscuity of fraternity members, and Smock's beliefs about homosexuality. When a student yelled out, "What are you?" Smock yelled back, "I'm a preacher. Most of you aren't students; you're party animals." Diego Aguallion, a TKE member, challenged the characterization of frat boys as party animals, and asked Smock, "Are you Preacher Jed Smock admonishes a crowd ofCSUSM Students aware of our philanthropic endeavPaul Blanchard/THE PRIDE ors?"

Others shouted at the preacher, saying he should leave the campus, and that his presence there violated the separation of church and state doctrine. California State University San Marcos Free Speech and Public Assembly P.olicy states: The University recognizes the right to [sic] staff, faculty, and students to debate current issues, to protest policies and to dissent. While participating in these activities, individuals are expected to conduct themselves in a manner compatible with the educational mission of the University, to observe University, CSU, and state regulations and to be responsible in their personal behavior. Associated Students Executive Director Darlene Willis said, "This is part of student life; it's Freedom of Speech. This is showing that the campus is growing. It probably wouldn't have happened here four orfiveyears ago." Smock said he was at University of "California San Diego on Monday and Tuesday, and at San Diego State University on Wednesday before turning his focus on the California State University San Marcos campus. According to Pastor Smock, the growth and notoriety of the CSUSM campus attracted the attention of an* acquaintance who said the preacher should visit here. Smock emphasized that he is a former college professor from "the University of Wisconsin" and that he has preached at over 700 colleges and universities in the United States and abroad over the past 25 years. He currently pastors a non-denominational church in Newark, Ohio, called the College Community Church, and is the author of Who Will Rise Up published by The Campus Ministry U.S.A.. When a female student challenged Pastor Smock saying that he belonged at a Christian university that shared his beliefs, Smock shot back that the students here "probably don't have the grades or the money to attend a better school." Glass told Smock, "I don't have a specific religion, I haven't studied any of them to believe. I am not going to believe just because others said it was so." Smock responded by saying, "Most of you haven't seriously investigated any religion, so how can you have faith?" �2 Monday February 21, 2000 DEAR EDITORS, On February 11,1 attended the ICC meeting as a representative of the CSUSM College Republicans. Upon arrival, the number of student clubs present quickly impressed me; although I didn't count them I would say that there were over 30 clubs represented at the meeting. Such a diverse group of student organizations active enough to attend ICC is great! It looks like CSUSM might be finally gaining a "campus-life" so to say. To all the clubs; KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! However, not everything from the meeting was positive. I was concerned with the "rules" concerning what a club can be authorized money for and what they c an't Example: one club was granted $400 dollars for posters to advertise an upcoming event while another club was refused $200 for T-shirts to advertise their event. The reason? Current ASI rules do not allow money to be used for club use, only for campus activities. However, as explained (by the Student Parents Club, I believe), the T-shirts were going to be used to promote an oncampus event. The ICC authorized $400 for posters that will just be thrown away after the event (money in the trash) and did not authorize $200 for T-shirts that could be worn over and over again. Sounds like a huge waste to me. What do you think? I brought this up to the Board but was quickly advised by the ASI Executive Director that ASI rules did not permit allocating money for T-shirts. The Board, however, seemed to be split on the issue and ICC tabled it for the next meeting. I don't mind funding posters and other forms of advertisement for events but I think we should fund all forms of advertisement. We should reward clubs who effectively promote their activities and who avoid trashing their materials after the event, not punish them. IfASI rules need to be changed then so be it, CHANGE THEM! All it will take is a simple vote by the ASI Board. ASI claims to be "by the students, for the students." I know they are by the students but I have found myselfquestioning more than once if they are truly for the students. Having said all this, I want to remind everyone that there will be ASI elections this semester and that although these are only student offices, they are very important. ASI votes on many issues regarding campus life (i.e. how to spend your money, and what student clubs can and can not do). They have voted to give themselves Christmas bonuses (with your money) but won't allocate funds for T-shirts? In the next ASI election, let's clean house and replace every member of ASI with new members that truly are FOR THE STUDENTS. Mike Sanella as lse.

OPINION ®[)e$rtbe More Smock Talk: A Different Opinion Victor Mireles There are some things that get people riled. Religion and God are two of the things that seem to provoke an argument any time they are discussed in a public forum. Thursday February 17, 2000, will go down as the day that one man did what ASI, clubs or the 10th anniversary celebration failed to do. He got people to stop what they were doing and become involved in a group event. Pastor Jed SmockfromNewark, Ohio, preached for several hours on subjects as diverse as life, death, homosexuality and a myriad of other issues that often push peoples' buttons. What I saw were crowds willing to mix it up with a man whose beliefs were unshakable. Some said that he was "ignorant," while others said that they "did not understand." Others seemed visibly angry at what DEAR EDITORS, On behalf.ofmyselfand all other students who are stuck in a busy but monotonous schedule, I would like to thank Mr. Jed Smock and his associates for coming to our campus and engaging with us in debate. The conversation was passionate and engaging (although I only stayed for a portion of it). The last time that there was a campus event with nearly as much passion was the Roger Hedgecock show, but even that was subdued compared to this seemingly spontaneous event. he said, and, as one person put it, "He is a zealot who has no business being here." What all these individuals fail to see is that he did have the right to be on campus. I will not defend his views, but I will say that no one has to like what he said. We live in an open society and in this society we must be tolerant of people who speak with a loud mouth. The only reason this circus took place was that WE gave him a forum. People have the right to speak but they do not have the right to be heard. I say to all those who hated the guy and were angered that you could have been rid of him if you simply had ignored him. People like him, both on the far right and left, need us to pay attention. Without us they ate powerless and have no venue. With us, people like him are made to look important when in reality they have nothing to say. The level of discourse in America often looks like this with people shouting and no one listening. Pastor Jed did not want to convert anyone. He wanted us to listen. And for that we are guilty of playing into his hands. I hope that in the future we take the time to stop and think about how we feel when we are confronted with something that bothers us to such an extent. I hope that the next time we are confronted with a person, who wishes to stir tilings up in such a manner, we pause. We should pause to ask the person what he or she is doing. To make things interesting we should agree with him or her or question their sense of importance. Otherwise, we should do the next best thing and ignore the person, move on and enjoy Pleasantville. Mr. Smock's courage and conBeyond the content of the debate, the aesthetics were also viction were inspiring, a lesson to beautiful. The triangle produced by all of us.

Mr. Smock's elevated stance on the wall was a simple and classic oratory convention that reminded me of America's long and proud public speaking tradition. The crowd also grouped into a classic formation shaped like a horseshoe around the speaker with an opposition champion stepping forward to help speak for a large portion of the crowd. I would like to extend an open invitation to Mr. Smock, and any other individual or organization who would like to stimulate such interest and entertainment on campus, to return to CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY SAN MARCOS.

To all Students, Faculty, Staff: Call for Tokens, Artifacts, and Significant Objects The Women's Studies Department, in cooperation with the CSUSM library is arranging a display cabinet in the library in celebration of Women's Herstory Month {March). There is current research exploring the connection between women's history, women as caretakers of objects and women's writing- suggesting the usefulness of mounting a display of such meaningful artifacts. Student, Stephanie Sullivan, is acting as curator. You (and anyone you know who may be interested) are invited to submit objects that mean something to you, along with a card explaining what the item is, and the meaning behind it. Items should be relatively small. We would also like a picture of you and perhaps the person associated with the object. There will be a possibility of filming interviews to create a lasting visual herstory. The case is good sized, locked and secure. There is a further possibility of displaying needlework, i.e. stitchery, quilting, etc. More information will be provided to interested parties. Please get in touch with Stephanie, if you have any ideas, contributions, or reactions. Stephanie can be reached at momers@pacbell.net We hope to make this a beautiful and poignant display.

BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer In following up on the student vehicle burglary of Feb. 1, the University Police Department speaks out regarding their efforts to ensure campus safety. Lieutenant Douglas Miller was able to provide some additional comments on the incident, as well as details about the responsibilities of CSUSM Police, Community Service Officers, and Parking Officers. "We (University Police) have at most three officers on duty at all times," said Miller, in describing the patrol power of the department. Miller explained that for the three officers on duty there is a total of 304 acres plus the insides of each building to monitor. Patrol power is increased with the presence of CSOs and Parking Officers; however, the abilities to make arrests and apprehend suspects aren't strengthened as much through this unity. "Parking Officers and CSOs are like our eyes and ears," said Miller, commenting on the nature of these officers' jobs. Officers from both divisions can observe and report incidents, but they are not authorized to take action in situations like vehicle burglaries. In fact, if these officers were to take steps toward apprehending suspects or taking individuals into custody, they would face consequences. "CSOs and Parking Officers are students, they are not trained in law enforcement," said Miller. Because Community Service Officers and officers from Parking Services must report all incidents to University Police before any action can take place, response time can take up to 15 minutes. According to Lt. Miller, this time is much faster compared to San Diego State's response time of some- See HISTORY, page 4 See POLICE, page 3 Photo by Christine Vaughan / The Pride W hile p lanning f or t he n ext fiscal b udget, A SI a lso prepares f or t he 2006-2007 A SI E lections. Three factors compose ASI's operating budget: student fees, donations/profits, and interest from investments. The vast majority of ASI funds are provided directly from mandatory student union fees, included in each semester's tuition cost, for both part-time and full-time students. Each student, unless exempt with a waiver, contributes $50 to ASI's budget. If a student is enrolled for all three semesters, spring, summer, and fall, within one academic year, the student has paid ASI $150 to advocate for that student's voice. These fees allow ASI to host and co-sponsor events on and off campus, including the Masquerade Ball, cultural festivities, guest lecturers, and many other activities run by student-oriented operations. However, some funds assist with less practical uses, such as purchasing the North County Times and New York Times, or working on goals such as installing couches in restrooms, a goal detailed on the ASI website. In addition to the extensive financial contribution by students, commercial operations are typically paid for by donations and profit from ticket sales. ASI makes about one dollar on each ticket sold See BUDGET, page 2 A 'cool' fundraiser Campus takes Alternative Spring Break promotes Hockey for Habitat for Humanity BY KATIE ROWE Pride Staff Writer Students participating in the Alternative Spring Break program offer theirfirst"cool" fundraiser: selling tickets to watch the San Diego Gulls hockey team take on the Utah Grizzlers on Saturday, Feb. 25 at the I-Pay One Center.

Collectively, thisfinancialincome totals approximately $15,000 dollars of the budget, which generally goes toward commercial operations. The third and smallest contributor to the ASI budget is the interest gained off of investments in mutual funds. This equates to about a thousand dollars within the academic year. Interest does not provide a large amount of ASI's funds, but can help cushion budgets for many events and programs. About$120,000isusedannually for program events on campus, compensating guest speakers, and hosting social events. ASI also utilizes some of its budget to sponsor and co-sponsor events, such as the Middle Eastern Conference, Oktoberfest, and recreational activities. Commercial operations also have costs, which can include Photo Courtesy of Associated Students Incorporated students the opportunity to rub elbows with the mascot and share in campus-wide pride at the CRASH Pride Day. The event will be located in the Kellogg Plaza, complete with free food, games, entertainment, free-prizes for students showing their pride, and the front business office expenses and maintenance on copiers and fax machines. Costs in this area also include buying wholesale tickets for amusement parks, leisure activities, etc. ASI also funds the Early Learning Center, the Recreation Center/Clarke Field House and club/ intramural sports. The ASI general fund budget is decided and allocated by various ASI departments and the ASI Board of Directors, with approval/suggestions from the University President and her administration. The current ASI administration makes the budget for the upcoming year/administration. June 30 is the end of the fiscal academic year, and all departments are putting forward their proposals this Spring to prepare for the upcoming fiscal year.

Each department decides what they need and with all things considered, a general budget is drafted by the main ASI Board of Directors, consisting offivekey executive directors. ASI officers are salaried workers, but often the labor outweighs the compensation. The presidential position for ASI pays $8,000 per term, which is one full academic year. The ASI President has to put in a minimum of ten hours a week in the summer and a minimum of 20 hours a week in the Fall and Spring semesters. Executive officers earn $7,000 a year, logging in the same minimum weekly hours as the president. Student representatives make considerably less with $1,200 for the year for a minimum of eight hours a week. All ASI elected positions serve for a full term from Summer semester through Spring semester. "We put in many more hours than [what is required]," said Marc DeGuzman, current ASI president. He also adds that "some students may feel that ASI doesn't do anything," but actually it is a very complex organization with many responsibilities that impact students. ASI is currently looking for ways to expand on commercial operations. Foundations have lots of control over food sales and venders. No negotiations are in the works, but ASI is considering other options to help raise more funds and increase the ASI operating budget, which means more programs and event opportunities for CSUSM students and affiliates.

Nonetheless, a contributing factor in the department's response time is lack of staffing. The campus is growing at an exponential rate while the department's size remains at a standstill. This issue is not only felt on the university level, but aiso countywide. "San Diego County law enforcement has 500 vacant jobs to befilleddue to the difficulty to recruit individuals for sworn law enforcement jobs," said Sergeant Rigo Chaves. The interviewing and preliminary screening process is composed of multiple steps, often too many steps for most applicants. Due to the staffing obstacles and campus growth the University Police must face, the department encourages all students to report all suspicious behaviors to any of the campus officers on campus in efforts to keep crime incidents low.

In any case, a bustling Jewish community doesn't rank high on the list. In fact, the notion of a Mexican Jew can be downright baffling to some. Isaac Artenstein's documentary, "Tijuana Jews," breaks through many misconceptions regarding Jews and Mexico, while providing a warm, comprehensive history of the people. The film uncovers the bustling Mexican Jewish community, most of which emi- Tuesday, February 21, 2006 i l l l U C O - Documenflng the history . of lews' the Tijuana grated from pre-World War II Europe to find a safer home in secular Mexico. Artenstein digs into his family's history and uncovers the personalities of predominate members of the community. They lived just like any other Jewish community would elsewhere in the world. Through the use of old photo's, interviews with surviving members of the original community, warm narratives and seemingly ancient super 8 footage, Artenstein gives the forgotten community an unforgettable voice. The film also recounts events that happened at many Tijuana landmarks such as the Jai Alai Palace, Avenida Revolucion, and Tijuana's "Centro Social Isrealista," adding a bit of history to both well-known or otherwise unknown parts of town. "Tijuana Jews" is more than an informative documentary on Jews living in Tijuana, it is also a colorful commemoration of an all but forgotten cluster of families who escaped European persecution and made a comfortable home in the prosperous environment Tijuana provided before its economic downfall in the 1960's. Since then, many of those families have moved into the United States (particularly in the southern parts of San Diego County) and have blended in with the predominant culture. Meanwhile, their parents arid grandparents, who experienced Tijuana's boom, are slowly fading away. Of course, immortalizing these people in film is one of the main reasons Artenstein produced "Tijuana Jews", in addition to dispelling the perception of a Mexican Jew as some sort of mythological creature. The Center ARTS at CSUSM held the showing and lecture of "Tijuana Jews" in Room 240 of the Arts building on Wednesday, February 15 as part of their series of arts and lectures.

Nevertheless, Prof. Schwegler's photos, sound clips, and grammatical breakdown of this mysterious religion made for an impressively informative presentation. The broad content of the lecture also left a lot open to the interpretation and interests of the diverse student audience. As to whether there was any particular kind of student that frequented his lectures, Prof. Schwegler replied that "Linguistics, History, and Spanish majors can all be tied into the subject matter". These lectures have taken him all over the world, and Prof. Schwegler is energized by the fact that scholars "still have a lot to learn".

Call Reproductive Solutions: (818)832-1494 BY DUSTIN FRANKS Pride Staff Writer Last Thursday afternoon, CSUSM students in ARTS 240 were taken on a literary trip to Cuba to explore the secretive religion of "Palo Monte," often considered "Black Magic". Armin Schwegler, a professor of Spanish at both U.C. Irvine and CSUSM, guided audience members through the inter-workings and curiosities of the obscure religious practices, language and context of Palo Monte. The lecture was presented as part of the Black History Month events on campus. "This is the story of African people coming to the New World and what was retained as far as their culture, language and religious practices," said Prof. Schwegler, before speaking to the audience as a whole. His lecture began by narrating the origins of the Palo Monte religion, tracing it back to the lower Congo region of Africa and the Kikongo language. These cultural roots were brought over to Cuba with the slave trade during the sugar industry boom of the 1820s. This religion is oné of four to migrate from Africa with the slave trade, along with the likes of the more well-known Santeria. Previously thought to be a complete pidgin, mixed with different languages from all over Africa, Prof. Schwegler's research sheds light on the fact that Palo Monte was actually derived from the single language of Kikongo. This finding is now considered irrefutable by the academic world. The language now used in religious practice is heavily restructured, and mixes standard traditional Spanish with the Kikongo language. This dialect has turned into its own entity and research has led to a translation of over three thousand words. The practice of Palo Monte is characterized as being extremely secretive, and Prof. Schwegler spent a great deal of time in Cuba digging deep to find his information. His studies led him to find that the religion is very much alive and, in fact, thriving all over the country of Cuba. The lecture made a notable point of explaining that, despite the dark stereotype of the old African religions gathered from mainstream media, Palo Monte is actually practiced by all different members of Cuban society, from city to village, from doctors to cab drivers. Palo Monte emphasizes the idea of "invoking" or otherwise working with the spirits of the dead. Those practicing the religion build small temples with shrine-like sculptures made of On Campus: Student life and leadership BY JENNY NGUYEN Pride Staff Writer It's a common perception that for CSUSM students there is very little to 'student life' outside of the studying and traveling from one class to the next. For those looking to change this experience, the tools can be found in Craven Hall 4116 at the Student Life & Leadership (SLL) office. "This ('no student life' label) is a matter of perspective. For our age and size, we are doing very well," says Bridget Blanshan, Director of Student Life & Leadership. She explains that student life and culture here on campus may not be as obvious as other universities because some traditions at other campuses are a lot older, due to the fact that those universities are a lot older. What's nice about the fact that CSUSM is less than 20.years old is that it gives students today an opportunity to become involved in creating these lasting traditions and organizations. Furthermore, the staff at the Student Life & Leadership office will partner with students to help them establish organizations, as well as give instruction on how to lead them. By becoming involved in the creating process, students are building a legacy. At most other universities here in San Diego, organizations have been established for so long that few are born while some fail to progress. "I have been here at CSUSM since July 2001, and since then, the number of student organizations has doubled," said Blanshan. According to Erika Kirst, Coordinator of Student Involvement, there are currently over 60 clubs and organizations here on campus, with seven new or renewed organizations this semester alone. With 60 organizations, there is something for everyone, a complete list of which is available in the Student Life & Leadership office. In order to change the perception that there is 'not much to do' at CSUSM, the SLL staff works together tirelessly with other organizations such as ASI and the Campus Programs and Recreations departments to encourage student involvement and raise awareness that there are more than enough reasons, apart from class attendance, to stay on campus. In addition to clubs and organizations, the SLL office also offers Co-Curricular Event Funding Applications. If an organization wishes to hold an event, such as the Internship/College Major Fair, or Cultural Performances, they can and should apply for funding. The funds come from monies that have been allocated by President Haynes for such purposes. Another often unnoticed service is the Multicultural Program. Established 3 years ago, and continuing to blossom today, The Multicultural Program's office is located next door to the SLL, and is the beginning of what will one day be the Cross Cultural Center. This office offers a cozy, living room-like atmosphere with big comfortable couches, shelves lined with books and videos on vast varieties of cultures, and walls papered with beautiful posters of leaders from all over the world. In addition to his internal duties, Associate Director of the Multicultural Program, Alexis HISTORY,frompage 1 "The History Department is very excited to be welcoming so many community partners, professional public historians, and history enthusiasts to our campus," said Patty Seleski, history department chair. "It's a great opportunity for history majors and others to see examples of the ways in which their interest in history can be continued beyond their college experience, in either a professional and career oriented capacity, or as a personal passion." "San Diego County has a whole range of history museums and local history societies; the Congress of History is a kind of umbrella organization for these local societies," explained Associate Professor Jeff Charles, who has been working closely with the Congress of History, as well as others, in offering this event at CSUSM.

The Annual History Conference will be an informative delight for history buffs, students, and all members of the public alike. "All local history lovers will find something of interest and will learn something new," added Richard Hann, president of the Congress of History of San Diego and Imperial Counties. The registration cost for both days is $30 per person, and offers discounts for seniors, students, and children.

By broadcasting the Winter Olympics you are making me one aggravated sports journalist. 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 biggestfigureskating star is Johhny Weir, who should just add a "D" to his last name and call it a day. Anything that involves cleaning the ice in front of a large disc that is gliding down the rink is not what I would call entertainment. If you throw some skates on some maids and tell them to hit the ice, it is not a sport. Anything that involves a person holding on for dear life while sliding down a frozen chute, although it may be entertaining to see them crash, it's not a sport. In my mind, events fall into three categories which consist of activities, competitionas, and sports. Figure skating and snowboarding should be considered a competition because the result is determined by the opinion of a judge. Sports should not be viewed like movies. Just because Ebert and Roeper liked your 1080 on the half-pipe doesn't mean you deserve a 10 out of 10. Curling is an activity, because how can you honestly consider an event with a broom a sport? Bobsledding and pretty much the rest of the Winter Olympics should be considered activities, not sports. The only events in the Olympics that I consider sports are ice hockey and speed skating and you may already know my feelings about ice hockey. How can you consider these Olympics a success? I mean "American Idol" kicked your freezing butts in viewer-ship on February 14, with the wannabe singers racking in 27 million to your 16.1 million. Heck, at least in "American Idol" the singers are taunted if they suck. I wish I could do that to Bode Miller. It was supposed to be Miller Time at these Olympics, but the drunkard party animal has been more disappointing than a hunting trip with Dick Cheney. There was so much hype around this guy that he is one of the few Olympians who had an advertising campaign in major magazines and networks with his campaign of joinbode. com. I want to know where they want us to join Bode, at the bar maybe, because it clearly isn't at the medal podium? How do you expect us to know the rules of some of these crazy events if you don't even know what to call these Olympics? Is it Torino or Turin? I think I could get used to some of these activities if you exposed me to them more than once every four years. I might actually get into these events if you televised the national skeleton championships, if they even have those. Also, your marketing for these games has been horrible. You guys have focused your media attention on three competitors, Miller, Shaun White and Michelle Kwan. I've already told you what I think about Miller. You would think I would have support for White since he is from Carlsbad, CA but I can't stand listening to the "dude" be interviewed. I speak a lot of slang in my daily life and don't always use proper English, but I for sure don't use it 24/7 like White. Now Kwan, there was no chance in hell she was actually going to compete at Turin/Torino and all the talk leading up to these games regarded her. You don't see the NBA marketing its injured stars to get people to watch their sport. It just doesn't make business sense. What kills me most about these events is how disappointed my peers are when the Americans don't win a gold medal. Honestly, how can people be upset that the U.S. doesn't win at the skeleton event? It's not like you lost your skeleton fantasy league because American didn't bring home the gold. Does America really have to squash every other country in everything? Can't we just leave the world domination thing to George W? I will be waiting for your response at Sando026@csusm. edu. Warm Regards, "Jock Talk" w/Josh Sandoval P.S. to the Olympic committee: If you get any wild ideas regarding the start-up of a Spring Olympics, make sure Easter egg hunts aren't part of the events.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer There's little mind and less matter in wondering how many other bathroom mirrors received similar treatment here on the last Holy Day till the next. The offense or offering lies not in contemplating the implications of public-private ads n' art, but in reflecting upon the journey through society's holiday gauntlet. No matter how well rounded or timely we consider our relation to Holy Days, most often we do worse than 'forget' their significance, we neglect it. From the Winter Dates to the new calendar, to the matching strike, the members of a comparatively diverse society fill their moats and erect their towers, convinced that their concept of one holiday to the next is not only profoundly sovereign, but perpetually under attack. Thus it happens, we sing 'with' our hearts and our families while we sing 'at' our cares and anyone who dares to hold less wholly to our concept of our hole. Like a frightened animal, we crap on anything that tries to swallow us into its fold, or we vomit out our gorgings for the proper nourishment of the neglected. We want OUR plans for that particular day to be recognized, thus projecting our exaggerated joy and reflecting our exaggerated disgust when we should be saving it for its source. Rolling your eyes at someone when they share a litany of joys, whatever the reason, makes no impact on your mood or their's greater than the chasm stretched between you both. Asking "why don't you" when we clearly mean "what's wrong with you" divides you just as much. Everyone can enjoy good food and drink, gifts, and times of reflection; the occasion should be only a slightly more than minor detail. Don't be unconsciously greedy; there are enough hours in enough days in enough calendars for everyone. It is challenge enough to reconcile our Good God Tastes, the living spirits we ascribe to our favorite things, when so many are willing to turn our headstones into cobblestones. This is not even to mention the choking walls that hoard t o t he E ditor Photo by Zachary J. Simon / The Pride our refinements and rarities, our secret and artificially shameful pleasures. Beware the talking hands of Avarice, of the will to accumulate what is neither used nor consumed, keep sure and silent that they belong to a dealing demon rather than a riddling ghost. In other words, keep holidays, like possessions, in progressive circulation or serene orbit, that they become neither chains nor an army restless for conquest. The shadows and shades of your experiences are your own. Share them as you will, but to truly "share" them, you must first be asked. Abstain as a choice, as precious choice is neither desperate nor pious, as another's Holy Day should be no more your concern than another's chosen mate. There's enough for all, and too much to be had to be burdened by having it all. As a graduate student who pays large fees to ASI and feels as though I get nothing in return for my fees, I was very excited to recieve a flyer stating that there would be free Cirinabons in celebration of Valentine's day. So you can imagine my anger to discover that your flyer was indeed a hoax and there were no free Cinnabons to be had. I was in the area of the library between 11:15 and 1:00, and I saw no students with Cinnabons, no signs announcing where the Cinnabons could be, and no replacement for the missing Cinnabons. I know this may seem petty, but I pay alot. Give me my freaking Cinnabons.

The French police needed his expertise inside the crime scene. But he really isn't there to help. Langdon is actually the prime suspect for the murder. Bezu Fache, the captain of the French police, brought Langdon inside the Louvre only to interrogate him. While I expected one thing, Brown quickly changed the pace and brought a twist at the end of the scene. Again, I was hooked. I wanted to know what happened next. The story suddenly becomes a learning experience. Langdon's descriptions inside the Louvre sounded like a textbook (probably because Langdon is a professor). I found it refreshing because it actually made me feel right inside the building. The story shifts and Brown introduces Sophie Neveu. She is a cryptologist who also happens to be the granddaughter of Sauniere. Suddenly, Langdon and Sophie become fugitives and race against time to solve the mystery. But that's just half the book in a This year, I didn't want to fail prey into Hollywood's latest adaptation because I hate watching a movie before reading the book. So I finally finished Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code." I don't want to give the plot away but the book begins with a murder scene. Right away, Brown hooks me in. Jacques Sauniere is the curator of the Louvre. He is murdered inside the Grand Hall of the museum and the plot begins. The point of the story is NOT to find the killer. That's just too easy. Brown tells you who the killer is. But before Sauniere died, he left a bunch of clues pointing out the killer and the key to an ancient secret. That's where Robert Langdon comes in. He is a Harvard Professor specializing in art history and religious symbology. But Brown's character is not the typical mystery detective. He's smarter. He's so good that Brown brought him back into this novel (Langdon first appeared in 'Vinci nutshell. There are secret societies involved with the Vatican. There's a great part where Langdon gives a brief explanation behind the meaning of Leonardo Da Vinci's, "Mona Lisa," and there's the history of the Holy Grail included as well. I'll stop right there and let you decide if you want to know more. After reading this book, I felt not only refreshed but smarter. This novel is listed as a fiction but somehow, I want to believe that everything is true. With all the controversy surrounding this book, Brown manages to keep the reader educated and guessing all the time. The chapters are short and Brown's cliffhangers and sharp twists make it easy to read. The puzzles and clues entertained and made it impossible for me to put the book down. "The Da Vinci Code," has been on the best seller's list for over 146 weeks. Hollywood just couldn't wait to adapt Brown's novel. The movie will hit theaters on May 19, this year. With Ron Howard directing the film and Tom Hanks as the lead role, this movie will definitely be a blockbuster. si PALOHÄR COLl£G £ SwimJF The Patomar College GEAR IIP Program la looking itor outgoing and energetic students who ate seeking a leadership role.

Although pumpkin-flavored and brewed beers probably sound distasteful to some and seasonal to others, if its good enough it doesn't hurt to have a sip of it year round. The Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale is a squash-tinted beer that is worth a taste in any season. Brewed by the Buffalo Bill Brewery in Hay ward, California, this ale uses actual pumpkin in the brewing process, with added spices common to pumpkin pie to top it off. Surprisingly mild in flavor, this ale pours orangeamber in color and has a smooth texture and feel. Featuring a hint of pumpkin flavor and aroma, Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale has just the right amount of spices added to give it a perfect balance. Nutmeg and cinnamon come through the strongest as the lead spices, but do not overpower the taste of pumpkin and ale. To top this off there is little to no taste of bitterness with this beer, the majority probably being overshadowed by the pumpkin and spices. Sporting a pumpkin and vines fropi a Photo by Matthew Schramm / The Pride patch on its label, Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale is drinkable year-round and can usually be found in such stores as Beverages and More and Cost Plus World Market. �Put down something borrowed a nd pick u p ' Something New' BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer It's been said that love knows no boundaries, but the author of that phrase must have forgotten that life indeed does. Unfortunately in a case of love, life can put a damper on the pursuit of happiness. Perhaps the ability for two individuals to overcome this damper is a true measure of just how deep love is. "Something New" is a movie about the ups and downs of love seasoned with the implications of interracial relations. All of this is showcased through the story of a single and successful black woman whose path crosses with a charming and witty white man and unfolds in their journey through a romance that is entirely unfamiliar yet comforting on both sides. "Something New" is directed by newcomer Sanaa Hamri whose previous works are with Mariah Carey for both her Intimate Portrait, and Around The World features. For Something New Hamri teamed up with the more prevalent Kriss Turner who is best recognized for her screenwriting skills on the series Everybody Hates Chris, and TheBernieMac Show. Something New is also a host to an appropriate ensemble of actors such as, Sanaa Lathan, from the movies Life, Alien Vs. Predator, and Love and Basketball, and Simon Baker from the movies The Ring Two, Land of The Dead, and Red Planet. Supporting actors and actresses include Donald Faison, Mike Epps, and Taraji Henson. The movie opens up on the life of strict and sophisticated Kenya McQueen (Sanaa Lathan), a woman at the prime of her career who is in need of two things: a man to share her life with, and a landscaper for her undeveloped backyard. Kenya's three best friends, also successful black women, insist that she "let go and letflow,"encouraging her to be more lax in her standards for dating. That is of course, until her coworker sets her up on a blind date with a white man. Kenya shuts down the ever so eager Brian (Simon Baker) and proceeds as though she'll never see him again, until she encounters him at her coworkers engagement party. Impressed by the landscape work he's done for her coworker, Kenya employs Brian to work on her backyard with a strictly business mindset going in. However, Kenya's heart gets the best of her as shefindsherself breaking with habit and embracing difference through the inspiration Brian gives her. More important than the romance that Brian and Kenya share on screen are the issues the two must face, which could be determined as the bottom line of the entire script. Interracial dating and marriages come under the scrutiny of all onlookers, including family, close friends and the most harsh, critics. Within this realm of intolerance the innermost workings of a relationship, can be tested too as each member must in one sense be confident and comfortable in their own skin, and in the other sense be able to empathize with the implications of their partners' race. When this issue presented itself in the movie, viewers were given a glimpse of a truly impressive display of honesty and emotion through acting. Screenwriter, Kriss Turner spared no details in outlining scenes where the reality of politics enter a romance at any given time with no warning and the relationship's partici- Photo Courtesy of Focus Features pants must either successfully (or unsuccessfully) cope with it. Such interactions on screen brought the audience at Krikorian's Auditorium 7 to a chilled silence. All in all, "Something New" delivers on its name; a refreshing and different perspective on an old and unceasing issue in our nation. It leaves audiences to consume in its message as a truthful relay of what most US American couples face, as well as presents a whole new perspective on the story of black and white. H ow To ... M ake G uacamole 1 The ultimate snack: mix, mash & dip awa BYDUSTIN FRANKS Pride Staff Writer Afineguacamole is rare when stumbled upon; it makes a great snack or an amazing appetizer that can feed an entire party in just a few quick and easy steps. This simple to make, tasty treat will only cost you a few bucks and will add some spice to your college dining appetite. Everyone's got their own taste preferences, but here's a great way of getting started and devising your own avocado masterpiece. This recipe makes about a cereal bowl full of guacamole heaven, here's what you need. - Bowl - Knife - Fork and Large spoon - (2) Avocados - (1) Lime -(1) Tomato - (Vi) Onion - A dash of cilantro - Garlic Salt -Lemon Pepper - Black Pepper Step 1: Choose your avocados wisely, the softer the better. They should be heavy in hand, and have a clean oily smell. If the avocados aren't ripe yet, throw them together in a brown paper bag. Apparently, once one starts to soften up it releases a chemical that makes the others do the same. Slice the avocados in half and use the knife to gently remove the pit. Use the spoon like your scooping ice cream, and remove the avocado from the skins and throw them in the bowl. Tip: you can cut up the avocado in long slices before you scoop to make mixing easier. Step 2: Dice up the tomatoes, onions and cilantro and throw them into the bowl, or take a couple of heaping spoonfuls of pre-made salsa and throw them in the mix. This saves time and cleanup, and usually we all have salsa sitting in the fridge. Step 3: Cut your lime in half and squeeze into the bowl, the more you use the tangier your guacamole becomes. Step 4: Add about 3/4 teaspoon of garlic salt into bowl. Then add lemon pepper and black pepper to your likening. Tip: add a little, then taste, add a little then taste. You don't want to destroy your guacamole by adding to much spice. The garlic salt is key, like the lime, it's the secret ingredient. Step 5: Mix all ingredients together with a spoon, the more you mash the smoother your guacamole will be. If you like it chunky, use a fork and lightly stir, resembling the appearance of thick mashed potatoes. Mess around with what you like and don't. Keep adding ingredients a little at a time to your liking and get creative, if you like it spicy, throw some Tapatio or Cholula hot sauce in. Now that you've got your homemade guacamole, throw it on a salad, sandwich or have it as a side with chips. Guacamole can spoil fast though, to keep it green and fresh save the avocado pit, place in back in the bowl, cover and refrigerate immediately. Never cut up the pit of the avocado, it will make your guacamole bitter with a weird texture. Enjoy your snack or spread and remember to share with others. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Prwfe atheletics fee BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer In March, Cal State San Marcos students will be asked to vote on a new mandatory $40 fee to fund intercollegiate athletics. According to Steven Nichols, director of athletics, the fee would enable intercollegiate athletics to expand our current sports programs and add new programs in the near future. Right now intercollegiate athletics offers men's and women's golf, cross-country and track and field. The new fee will allow the program to include men's and women's baseball, softball, soccer and women's volleyball. Currently, the athletics department is funded through the Instructionally Related Activities fee (IRA) and the CSU General Fund. Athletics receives approximately $200,000 from the CSU General Fund and Photo courtesy of CSUSM Athletics Department anywhere from $12,000 - $32,000 from the IRA fee. The amount received by the IRA fee is determined by the number of students enrolled each semester and the number of campus organizations applying for funds. If the referendum passes, the athletics department will be looking at an increase of $296,000 per semester. "If the fee does not pass, we can't sus- Surveys: $6,000. DUI Checkpoints: $8,000. Alcohol EDU: $20,000. A goal of reducing the number of alcoholrelated incidents among college students: Not quite priceless, but $48,000. Starting the first of February, CSUSM was on of the ten state campuses sharing a $750,000 CSU Alcohol and Safety (CSU ATS) grant, which was administered by the Office of Traffic and Safety (OTS), part of the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency. The program was funded by $74.2 million in traffic safety funds that were awarded to 277 California state departments last year. CSUSM received $48,000 of this money. In order to receive a portion of this grant, each campus had to apply and come up with a proposal unique to their campus. Out of the 23 CSU campuses (the nation's largest university system), 18 applied for the mini-grants. The other nine participating CSU campuses are Bakersfield, Chico, Dominguez Hills, Fullerton, Pomona, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Sonoma and Stanislaus. The CSU ATS program is being directed by Perry Angle, who is working with Dave Doucette, the OTS regional coordinator. "We screened the applications in November and we were looking for tain the sports that we have. I'm not even thinking that way. But yes, something will have to give. We would've had to cut a sport if President Haynes had not stepped in and allotted more money to supplement the only $12,000 we received from the IRA," said Nichols.

"Each proposal needed to be innovative and student-oriented and could make an impact in the short time it has." He is referring to how the program ends in December of 2006. The program officially stared in January when there was a training session at CSU Fresno, where headquarters is located for the program. "The actual grant has already started," Angle said. "But paperwork still needs to be filled out. Hopefully, you'll see some action in spring, which is really a target time. The activities we'll be doing will relate to many of the activities students do in the springtime when the weather gets better, like spring break and parties." According to Angle, this all started in 2001 when the chancellor of the CSU schools, Charles Reed, was affected by an alcohol-related death of a Chico State student. "He felt he needed to do more for the safety of his students," said Angle. This led to a grant called the Sober Drive Initiative that lasted two years and ended just this January. CSUSM applied for this grant and did not get it. Fast-forward to today and CSUSM will begin administering the first phase of its program shortly. This will be a series of three short surveys over a period of two years. Motivation for students to take these surveys will be a random drawing of 20 $100 gift certificates to the book store on campus. This survey will ask Photo i llustration by P hoenix Lindgren / The Pride such questions as "Where do you most often consume alcohol offcampus?" and "Have you ever driven after drinking alcohol?" This grant has led to several students wondering why CSUSM needed to apply for the grant. "I don't think we have (and alcohol problem) compared to what other schools have," a freshman who lives on campus said. "People shouldn't be driving drunk," Nate Falzon, a commuter said. "It doesn't matter where they go. What's the point of them targeting a school?" According to Jonathan Poullard, dean of students, associate vice president of student affairs and chairman of the Substance Abuse Advisory Committee here, part of the reason that CSUSM applied for the grant was because roughly only seven percent of students live on campus and the majority of students commute. The canfipus just does not know the habits of its students. "Being a young institution, we felt that we could be more proac- CLASSIFIEDS EGG DONORS NEEDED Healthy Females ages 18-30.

"I am glad to hear that the nursing program is finally coming," said Matthew Garvin, a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon who also hopes to get into the nursing program. "I volunteer at a hospital and I know how much the county needs nursing services." Karen Haynes, University President, remarked that it was almost the one year anniversary of her first day on the job. Haynes emphasized the three important building blocks for the university. The first and most important one is "academic excellence," so that the school will send out well-prepared graduates. The second building block is "intellectual and cultural activities," not only for the campus, but also for the people in the community. The third block is "civic leadership," which is important because it makes the school more visible and helps it to grow. Haynes commended the students for the 73,000 hours of community service that have been recorded and performed by 15,000 students. As the raindrops started to fall and umbrellas began popping open, Haynes said, "The motto, 'We're building a place for you' is dated. I think Cal State San Marcos is the place." Jackie Trischman, Chair of the Academic Senate, was the next to speak. Her fact-filled report related that this semester CSUSM faculty taught over 600 courses and there were over 1150 class sections offered. She also announced that two new minors, Global Studies and German were going to be offered, and 151 new course proposals were being reviewed. Trischman said that the goal for the school is to, "Help you decide not only what you want to be, but who you want to be when you graduate." "It is good news about the new classes they will be offering" said Biochemistry major Euphemia Uhegbu. "It was also good that they talked about solving the problems with the increased traffic because of the student growth." As the final speaker, ASI President Manal Yamout thanked the audience for staying even though it was starting to rain. Yamout emphasized how she has seen the level of student involvement increase over the last few years as the campus has grown and encouraged students to run for office in the upcoming ASI election. ASI has had a very busy year registering over 800 students to vote, lobbying at the state capitol for student rights and arranging many campus events such as the upcoming Academic Freedom Forum which will be held March 22. "After the formal speeches, the panel accepted questions from the audience regarding how the university is going to handle the traffic issues, improve the academic advising department and deal with budget constraints. President Haynes was asked about the controversial bill SB5, which she denounced as an illthought out bill that clearly does not understand what universities are about and misrepresents what faculties are hired to do.

"I love the sports we have now, but they are not spectator sports. It's really hard to watch a cross-country meet, so we want to bring sports * that have spectator appeal," said Nichols. CSUSM has approximately 80 students participating in intercollegiate sports. "By the time all the new sports have kicked in, it would double or triple our current size," said Nichols. Nichols added, "If wq have more recognizable sports teams, it will make the degree more valuable because people have heard where you've graduated from." "Personally, I'll gain nothing as a student," said Linda Deblens, literature and writing grad student. "Since I did my undergrad at a school that had a rich athletic tradition, I support the referendum as I know the positive aspects it can bring to student life," said Ian Gould, ASI post baccalaureate representative. "Our office only offers neutral information so students can make an informed decision," said Francine Martinez, vice president of student affairs. "I think students need to get this information so they can make their voices heard on whether or not this is an important initiative for them," said Martinez. Information about the athletics fee referendum is available through student affairs. The athletics department plans to campaign for the new fee in the next coming weeks with classroom presentations and student forums. Students will vote on the fee March 21-24. The complete athletics fee referendum can be found at www.csusm.edu/student affairs/athleticvote. The Pride denied ballot access BY PHOENIX LINDGREN Pride Staff Writer Next month, Cal State San Marcos students will be asked to vote on a new mandatory $40 fee to fund campus Athletics; they will not be asked to vote on a new mandatory $2.50 fee to fund the student newspaper. The Pride submitted a fee proposal last fall that would have generated approximately $ 18,000 per semester to cover production costs of the weekly studentrun, student-written newspaper, eliminating budget gaps caused by inlying on the Instructionally Related Activities (IRA) fee, which nearly ended production of The Pride in 2003. "As it stands right now, The Pride is not going to shut down; we can survive on what we get from IRA," said Elizabeth Baldwin, Pride Co-Editor-in-Chief. "What I mean by survive is black and white, eight pages, all semester." When asked what the fee would have meant to The Pride, Baldwin was matter-of-fact. "The immediate impact that the fund would have made on the newspaper would have been an immediate jump to a consistent twelve pages a week with color-every single week—minimum," said Baldwin. Mike Dolan, Pride Co-Editorin-Chief, also saw the Pride proposal in terms of other groups on campus vying for IRA funds. "To get The Pride away from the IRA funding would have opened up funding for more activities on campus, and provided more autonomy for The Pride," said Dolan. Both Dolan and Baldwin believe the switch to color would Internet Models Wanted Short day, good pay. Please contact Laura Toll free 877-950-9254 have had an increasingly positive effect. "Having color in a newspaper always increases readership. We had projected doubling our circulation immediately to 5,000 copies—eventually distributing off-campus; right now we don't even have a stand at the Field House," said Baldwin. The addition of color and increased circulation would have meant an increase in advertising rates, which would have allowed The Pride to buy things like office furniture and computers, and send more students to journalism conferences. Baldwin was emphatic that the fee was strictly limited to covering production costs. "We were asking students to pay for the cost of the printed paper they pick up," said Baldwin. In a memorandum dated January 14, 2005, Pride editors were informed of President Haynes decision not to solicit input from students on The Pride fee p ro-. posal. "I was very shocked," said Baldwin. "I was shocked because I felt like we put together a very thorough proposal. I was shocked because we were only asking for $2.50, and the fact that we were modeling v a program that's already been in place at Sac(ramento) State, where they've (their newspaper program has)flourished." "That's the system," added Dolan. "We did our best— we went through the system. The President thinks Athletics has more of an impact on the campus." When asked how she felt about the Athletics proposal going forward, Baldwin was stoic. "I personally feel athletics is a good thing for a campus, but I'm just so shocked. I really don't think this is like the newspaper versus the athletics department. What we were asking for is so much less—why couldn't we be on the ballot together?" said Baldwin.

"The counsel did recommend (to President Haynes) that the student newspaper fee be included on the ballot; we think it's important that students weigh in (on the issues)," said Martinez. When asked how frequently the University President has exercised his or her power not to accept the SFAC's recommendation, Martinez responded that former President Gonzalez did so twice during his six years at CSUSM, "on two different recommendations—a (mandatory fee) referenda recommendation and on a user fee adjustment." Haynes' decision not to allow students to vote on the student newspaper fee would be her first exercise of that power; Haynes had been president of CSUSM for less than one year at the time of her decision. Haynes was unavailable for either an in-person or a telephone interview, but did answer several questions via email. When asked why she didn't include The Pride proposal on the referendum, Haynes expressed concern over the current climate for increasing student fees. Haynes stated that, "the Chancellor's Office (where the final decision is made regarding the establishment of new student fees) has requested that campus Presidents exercise close scnitiny in establishing new mandatory fees " The Pride has requested confirmation of this directive from Chancellor Reed's office, but it was not received prior to press time. Both Haynes and Martinez believe that passage of the Athletics fee could benefit The Pride by frèeing up IRA funds from Athletics. In addition, Haynes stated that, "The IRA fee will be assessed this spring to determine if increasing this fee could support the newspaper at a higher level." The IRA fee has not been increased since its establishment in 1991. Haynes denied that The Pride's coverage of Michael Moore last semester influenced her decision. When asked if the fee would have meant an increase in salaries for editors of The Pride— which currently range from nothing for Copy Editor to $2,500 for Co-Editor-in-Chief per semester, Baldwin said, "No-the fee proposal was only to cover the actual costs of printing." The Athletics Department has other ideas about spending their potential referendum windfall. According to the Athletics Fee Referendum Voter Information web page prepared by the Student Fee Advisory Council (http://www.csusm.edu/student_affairs/athletic_vote.htm), the proposed mandatory $40 Athletics fee will generate nearly $300,000 per semester, most of which will pay the salaries of additional coaching staff. Athletics hopes to increase staff salaries from $40,000 per semester to nearly $200,000 per semester as it adds five new sports to the four it currently offers.

The General Education Lifelong Learning or GEL is a class that is aimed at making freshman learn studying tools, and also become well-rounded responsible citizens. First off, GEL was first introduced into the campus curriculum in 1995, when the first freshmen were enrolled at the campus. The course was intended to get students involved with the campus; and it was designed to help with academic discipline; help students to choose a major, and finally to assist students in the retention of knowledge gained from their courses. In spite of the objectives of the class, which seem like a great way to start off freshman year, the students of CSUSM aren't too thrilled about GEL. Students around campus feel that getting into college itself means that we can successfully manage time and study, some of the basic teachings of the class. But is there more to this class than meets the eye? After an interview with Joanne Pedersen, Ph.D. the Associate Director for First-Year Programs, she said, "The purpose of GEL is to enhance student success." This seems like a pretty large goal at hand and one that is quite intangible at the freshman level. Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride G E L s tudents s it attentively d uring lecture. Mark Thomas, a student at CSUSM said, "I just don't understand why we have to pay for a class that the majority of students don't need to take." Despite having to take a class such as GEL to complete a government required course, it should be a class that is worth taking, but most students do not feel that way while taking the class. "Studies done by multiple universities," Pedersen said, "show that 30-40% of students drop out between their freshman and sophomore year." Pedersen later went on to say that with proH^HM grams like GEL, studies show that students are less likely to drop out and receive a better GPA throughout their college life. With this knowledge in hand it seems that GEL is a spot on perfect example of a freshman general education course. But students still aren't happy with the initial impact of the course. Before dreading going to class, think of how this class will benefit your This course was intended to get students involved with the campus future. Due to the simple topics at hand, or the things that all freshman "think they automatically know" coming into this new school, it seems that students aren't taking this course seriously. Yet in the long run this course will help students no matter how they feel in the present time. Down the road it could help students like Mark to acquire a job with skills he learned in the class. So before the class is judged by its surface, kind of like a book is judged by its cover, sit down and listen to the professors and hear what they have to say. Maybe new students will retain some of that knowledge. After all that was the goal of the course in the first place. R EED, from page 1 Ishmael Reed to CSUSM as part of the Arts & Lectures series. Dr. Sam Hamod, a creative writing professor and a good friend of Reed's, unabashedly introduced him as, "one of the world's greatest writers." Poetry is at its best when it is read aloud, and Reed captivated the audience with his rich, booming voice. He shared poems from a new album that he is producing called, "Bad Mouth," which is being distributed by Blue Note Records. The appreciative crowd burst into laughter at many of his one-line poems such as; "Van Gogh killed himself because he felt that sooner or later his paintings would be displayed in Las Vegas," or "I'd rather have my short term memory back than an El Dorado Cadillac." His longer pieces titled; "In a War Such Things Happen," and "Wanting to be a Right Wing Family Values Type of Man," were heartily applauded as the audience absorbed the underlying meanings of his satirical messages. Student Bellamy Walker said that, "It was really amazing to hear such an intellectual speak on our level and about our issues for black Americans." After reading his poetry, Reed held a question and answer session. When asked how he finds his ideas, Reed stated that he gets them from many different places because he gets asked to do so many dif- Photo by Yvonne Brett / The Pride Photos courtesy of Susie Lan-Cassel ferent things. This variety is good because writing in different forms helps to unblock your mind. In addition to his books he has written numerous essays, opinion pieces, and five plays. His next project will be to write a book about Muhammad Ali and his spiritual beliefs. Sonia Gutierrez, a former CSUSM grad student said, "I am a great admirer of African American literature and that is where I find my own voice " Gutierrez, who now teaches at Palomar College, had cancelled her evening class to come and hear Reed speak. After the lecture Reed stayed and graciously signed autographs for the many admirers of his craft. His visit was definitely one of the highlights of the activities celebrating Black History Month at CSUSM. �Transition team at CSUSM Rodolfo Acuña to VUSD students interact with campus life BY THOMAS F. GORMAN III Pride Staff Writer Areli, J.R., Justin, Bruce, Vianey, Rusby, Armando, Marcella, and William are the students who help keep our campus clean. These students are part of a transition program run through Vista Unified School District in conjunction with the Facility Services Department of CSUSM. The transitional program itself has been in operation on campus for ten years with the main focus being a way for the students involved to gain life skills, practice personal autonomy, and learn work habits such as following directions and seeing a task through to the end. Students involved in the transition program work Monday through Thursday from 7:15 a.m. until 1:15 p.m. Depending upon where the students live, their day begins anywhere from 5:30 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Once on campus, the students, accompanied by their teachers Steve Molina and Dora Stabinski, meet in the dome and receive their duties for the day. The student's main duty is to clean campus but Photo by Loriann Samano / The Pride Molina said "the students do what ever is asked of them and there is always variation." Like most eighteen to twenty-two year olds, the student's favorite part of the day is break time. This gives the students a chance to eat lunch in the Dome and gain additional social skills through interaction with the student population here on campus. The students involved with the transitional program are excited with the opportunity of being able to interact with other students and observe day to day campus life. All students involved in the transitional program were enthusiastic with the only complaint being witnessing other students litter and disrespecting our beautiful second home. "This is an excellent opportunity for them to develop life skills and we also get to benefit from them," said Chuck Walden, director of facility services. "I think they are a great group of young people." The transitional program is both innovative and outstanding for all parties involved. So next time you see these students keeping our campus clean give them a smile, hug, or a high-five and express to them our gratitude f or a job well done. como to campus Founder of Chicano Studies speaks as part of Arts and Lectures series t hroughout the United States.

BY ADIA BESS Pride Staff Writer Priority President Evan Trown meets with The Pride BY ZACHERY SIMON Pride Staff Writer The fickle Gods of Time and Information always seem to make themselves scarce when students consider joining a campus club. Still, those searching defiantly for a group to exercise their beliefs, rather than merely their tastes, might take a moment for any of the three Christian organizations here at CSUSM. To help provide some guidance, The Pride has conducted interviews with two club leaders and hopes to include the third as well. This week we'll be sharing our conversation with Evan, president of 'Priority Christian Challenge', following up next week with Paul from 'Christ on Campus'. The questions were intended to give students, and perhaps the leaders themselves, a better idea of the beliefs that govern these clubs. Evan Trown's first hello into the tape recorder is nervous, new to the format, but a pleasant humor suppresses any shyness. Let's get some background on the club, how long has it been active here at CSUSM? Priority started about 5 years ago, and I've been here for two. How long have you been the president? Actually I just started in December. So I was the vice president last semester, and then got promoted. Was this a democratic process? How did that go in terms of the ranking? Pretty much is...if you feel like you're called upon to be i n a position of leadership then you, like, apply for it and then pretty much if you want to be it...theeen you are. (laughs) Our president graduated in December, and I decided that I would like to be president, and that I felt like God on campus and we actually go to one of the was telling me to.. .to step up into the next other clubs and we are almost identical in everything we do, um, we all believe the position of leadership. How does your club approach recruit- same thing, the three clubs on this campus do anyway, and um basically we just proment? vide dif times and dif locations where Pretty much we just try and make sure that we are open and available to anyone people can come to meet. How much do...excuse me, how much on campus who wants to be involved, 'does9 your-your organization, uh, comjust try and, um, just try and create some campus awareness for our club and just get munity, aid...that kind of external helping out? How much community aid do members through that way. What do you feel is your role within you think your organization provides? Um, probably not as much as we should the campus community? be or would like to be. We don't have as As a club I feel like our role is just to make Christ's presence on this campus many members as we would (chuckles) like to or as we've known, and had in the past, really to, um, so its hard to be just create just - as- involved in a place whether the community through our club we do um were or where stuinvolved in the dents can come sexual responand just feel the sibility week love of Christ that's... next and just hang out week, I think, with other people um, we try and on campus. Photo courtesy of Priority Christian Challenge ¿ 0 s o m e outThank you. What do you think is the best part about reach things outside of the campus but running a Christian organization in the mostly our focus is on this campus and spreading the word of Christ to the stu21st century? dents that are on this campus. Well At least for us here on this campus Now, what would you say are some of in the United States I feel like we're just the benefits and some of the setbacks of blessed because we can have this room to have this club on our campus. I don't attending a secular university? Um -benefits- would be that it's moreknow I just love the fact that we have the more open there's a lot more students here freedom to meet and talk about god on our that that you can reach um from a Chrispublic school campus. How would you compare your orga- tian perspective and that enables you to nization to other spiritually centered have the opportunity to-to witness and share the gospel with more people. Probyouth organizations? I think it's pretty much the same, I mean ably some of the setbacks would be just the I know there's two other Christian clubs uh (chuckles a breath) the unsaved people that um oppose the things that our clubs does and just the difficulties and the whole process of having to go through the secular campus, uh, rules and regulations before we can have any sort of events. Thank you...Um, Gettin down to the final questions here. Does your club have a unified concept of heaven? I think so, most of us, uh, were, well a lot of us were raised in church settings, so most of us have some preconceived notions of everything, that basically what we learn in our club, from past church experiences and what not, so really think do have kinda...a common belief in what heaven is, and that kind of a thing. Do people who die having rejected Christ go to Hell? I believe so, yes. We um as a club and as an individual believe that um people who have not asked Christ to.. .have a personal relationship with them are going to Hell. And that.. .1 mean that says so right in the bible, so. Okay um, the final question, I know you mentioned earlier there were two other Christian...oriented clubs on campus. Why do you think there are three separate organizations? You know a lot of people ask us that question and we even ask ourselves that question sometimes. Mostly, it's because we're each funded by a dif church. So, our club is funded by a Baptist organization, and Christ on campus, the other club is sponsored by the Episcopalian church, and Intervarsity has its own backing from, I don't know, they're like a huge organization, So, pretty much because we all have these different funds it actually allows us to have um various times that we can meet that can meet the needs of all the students on campus, �Feb. 22-24 I 10:00 a m - 3:00 p m C outyard o utside of U niversity Store UNIVERSITY �THE PRIDE Tuesday, February 22, 2005 IT ; By JASON NOKSJS P Ä Ombudsman I can take off that fatty clock 'round my neck and let up on Chez.

There's a lot of talking heads on this campus that abuse this paper to give their nickel opinions five-dollar words. (Count me amongst 'em.) But Williams ain't one of us. Until Chez's article last week, Williams had avoided attempts for an interview. To grant one in the face of an investigation that found Baker and Poncherello were okay to put the cuffs on, shoots down all theories that suspected Williams was doing this just to pull a 'Get Out of J ail'free card, My ethereal hat goes off to Chez and most of all to Mr. Williams.

Matt balanced those woes with the reasons for them. Something that tends to be lacking in our news stories. I felt no manipulations or bias, though I know Schramm is a classmate and so faces the same advising probs. It was nice to get a balanced perspective on the situation that didn't place blame on the Advising office who've been doing their best to tackje that Beast that came from Sacramento. (Budget cuts.)

The military and education both have different scales, it does cost more to defend the country then it does to educate, but that's not the point I am trying to make. The point is that the military is receiving a significantly larger percentage of money compared to education. In my opinion, that says something about the value of education versus the value of national defense/Iraqi liberation. I think it's great that the President wants to cut our debt in half, but at the expense of education? Some of the programs that are going to be cut from schools are vocational programs at the high school level, Safe and Drug-Free School grants, money for technology, Upward Bound programs for inner-city youth, and the Elementary and Secondary School Counseling Program (ESSCP). By cutting thè ESSCP, students are going to lose counseling and mental health services and school counselors will lose their jobs. Counselors are crucial for academic success especially for students with learning disabilities. 756 So. Rancho Santa Fe Rd.

Isn't there already enough pressure to get into college without the undue stress of annual standardized tests? Bush's purpose is to narrow the achievement gap between richer districts and poorer districts. I agree with what Bushy has to say about quality education, narrowing the achievement gap and providing equal education to children of all backgrounds...I just disagree with the way he goes about doing it. There is no incentive for high school students to do well on yearly standardized testing, in fact the worse they do, the more money their school will get with Titfe I funding. It is still their SAT scores that are going to get them into college. Well, I will benefit from Bush's Pell Grant increase (it pays to not be employed and to be a full time student), but I just don't see how elementary and secondary schools are going to benefit. �A shot of whiskoywith a university bureacratic chaser BY MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Staff Writer If you have been at Cal State San Marcos for a few years, you will undoubtedly remember the CORE survey o f2002. The CORE survey examined the drinking habits of CSUSM students. Not surprising, we learned that there was not a significant problem with excessive alcohol consumption at our school. (Who could forget the mouse pads and posters blasting us with statistics designed to make us think otherwise before having that third or fourth drink when out on the town?) Why is it that CSUSM has now received a $48,000 portion of a state grant designed for alcohol and traffic safety? It seems to me that if there is not a significant problem with drinking on campus, and the student population in general cannot be categorized as "problem drinkers," then what exactly will the University implement with this money? According to the January 31 press release announcing this award, the money will go to further surveys and research aimed "to identify the highest risk alcohol-licensed establishments patronized by San Marcos students." These 'problem' bars in the. community will then be subject to "comprehensive risk assessment inventories" Photos by Michael Dolan / The Pride that will give the University information to dissuade students from going to those places. In addition, the bars that are identified as problematic will find themselves in a Big Brother dragnet as the University teams with local law enforcement "to increase visibility of DUI checkpoints in and around areas frequented by students." Am I the only one who is creeped out with a chill of fascism? First off, the University must back off. If students are of legal drinking age and are respected as individuals, then the choices they make are their own. If they want to go to a bar and drink, the University should not interfere. If they want to test the waters and run the DUI gauntlet, then let law enforcement do their job without the information of where and when students will be drinking being hande4 to tirads-' I t ' them by the University. This is the worst kind of liberal left 'we know what is best for you' combined with fastidious right 'you will fall in line and do what we say is right' I have seen proposed on our campus. I drink in San Marcos often at places I can safely assume will soon be 'problem' bars. I drive home from these bars. I am a responsible adult of 28 years and know when not to drive home after drinking. I do not, however, look forward to ditching checkpoints on my way home so that I can avoid an arbitrary and static BAC standard which if I exceed will land me in jail. This is soon the reality, though. I hope the University reconsiders its priorities. Failing that, I hope the people stand up and call for responsible accountability of their tax dollars from where this grant money originates. Hunter S. Thompson In drunken memory of Hunter S.

ASI hosts Casino Night in the Field House BY YVONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer What happens in the Field House, stays in the Field House. All that was missing was the noisy clamor of the slot machines when the ASI sponsored Casino Night last Thursday. Participants were handed $500 in play money as they came in the door, which they traded in for chips to play poker, roulette or blackjack. Dealers in white shirts and bow ties from Casino Magic ran the tables. Erik Groset, the Director of Social Programming for ASI was in charge of the event, attended by around 200 people. "I couldn't have done it without the help of the ASI Program Board," said Groset. The group is planning another evening within the next few months that would feature poker games. Mike Louzek, waiting for a spot to open up on Mike Louzek, Travis R oger, a nd J órgen Havre Photos by Yvonne Brett / The Pride one of the popular poker tables, said he was, "winning massive amounts of money and having lots of fun." As they finished playing, players traded their chips for raffle tickets that they could put in boxes to win prizes. Drawings were held at the end of the evening and lucky winners went home with prizes like: a trip for two to Laughlin, the Halo 2 game for X-Box, a George Foreman grill, a cordless mouse, an I-Pod Shuffle, and many more. Travis Roger, who attends Palomar, but lives in the UVA was checking out the prize table with his roommate Jorgen Havre who is from Bergen, Norway. "I am having f un enjoying the American lifestyle," said Havre. He laughingly added that he is, "looking for an American sweetheart to bring back to Europe." Casino Night was a lot of f un because you didn't have to drive to Vegas forfive1hours, if you lost your shirt they gave you a free one, and heck, you weren't losing real money anyway. Keanu is wooden as "Constantine" N either M ilton, n or H eaven, n or H ell c an save D C C omics a daptation BY PATRICK B. LONG Pride Staff Writer Demons. Brimstone. CGI. John Constantine (Keanu Reeves) is a self-appointed agent of demon exorcism in this DC comic book adaptation of "Hellblazer." "Constantine" is a carry-over of John Milton's epic, "Paradise Lost," about a war between Heaven and Hell. In the story, humans are supposed to be left alone to their own devices and without direct intrusion from either Heaven or Hell. Each side tries to collect as many souls as it can, and the one with the most souls wins. Milton, a pro-Protestant, would not be too keen on the idea that the Catholics of Constantine are the heroes. Constantine was born with a gift that he doesn't understand. He eventually attempts suicide but doesn't succeed and returns to Earth after a spell in Hell. Catholic doctrine states that suicide is a one-way ticket to Hell, so Constantine develops his skill of sending demons home in order to secure a ticket into Heaven. He is recruited by Angela (Rachel Weisz), to solve the unanswered question of why her sister committed suicide. Along the way, they battle demons with weapons Photos courtesy of Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. of angelic origin. The highlights of the movie are the special effects and action. If the plot is overdone, or even confusing, the action should keep you entertained. It received an "R" rating and maybe saved the movie for me. A "PG-13" would have been too boring with the bad acting and old plot. It has some gory scenes that may even rival that of "The Exorcist," but is counteracted but a lot of dry, dark humor by the character Constantine. The story is far from original, and has been better explained. In fact I could count the number of movies it borrowed from, like "The Prophecy", "Blade" and even "Dogma." As usual, Reeves pulls a subpar performance, I still don't understand why someone with the personality of a wooden doll seems to keep getting work. I do give him credit for trying a character with a morose sense of humor, but he delivers it with force. Even Weisz seems to be brought down by Reeves and acts below her norm. There was a surprising performance by rock star Gavin Rossdale of Bush. He brings an eerie performance to the demon Balthazar. If the movie's purpose was to produce an original story with a great plot or even good acting, it failed. If its purpose was to make an action film based on a comic book, with decent special effects, then it did a good job. so-so DECENT GREAT � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The proposal by President Obama comes three days after the House Republicans suggested to lower the maximum award of $5,550 to $4,015 a move Kantrowitz describes as "...part of a larger package of budget cuts that seek to cut spending by $100 billion for the remainder of the current fiscal year." These significant changes mean that CSUSM can potentially face losing around $7.2 million in tuition. The institution plans to send congress a joint letter signed by three other university presidents urging congress not to approve any cuts. Vaughan also recommends that students "We a re d eeply c oncerned a bout t he p roposed c uts t o Pell G rants a nd b oth t he s hort and l onger i mpact t hese c uts w ould have o n o ur s tudents and o ur r egion .Well over 3 ,000 C SUSM s tudents r eceive Pell G rants t o f und t heir college e ducation.

Watchers of CNN last week saw that President Barack Obama, along with House Republicans, have each proposed separate budget plans for the 2011-12 fiscal year that, if approved, would include initiatives to cut the federal Pell Grant program. Currently the program faces a $20 billion deficit. The budget posted on the White House website explains that the president's cuts would eliminate the in-school interest subsidy for graduate students and limit the total number of recipients receiving year-round aid, while the House cuts would reduce the total maximum amount of the aid. The leaders have introduced their respective plans to address the program's deficit, and CSUSM officials say that both plans have the potential to affect CSUSM students. $3,240 in 2011-12, a total decrease of $2,310. To avoid this, the president is proposing to cut other student aid funding such as yearround Pell Grants and subsidized interest on student loans to graduate and professional students. "Under the president's proposal, the maximum award would remain at $5,550 while cuts would be made in other areas. The year-round benefit typically only affects for-profit colleges, which are more likely to have students studying year-round without a summer break," explains Kantrowitz. Eliminating the in-school interest subsidy will likely have a greater impact on CSUSM students as education begins to cost more. Kantrowitz writes, "...losing the subsidized interest benefit will add $1,676 to each $8,500 loan balance by the time the student en- interested in taking action against these cuts "[F]irst and foremost contact their representatives and let them know that students have a voice and that they be heard." CSUSM Official statement: We are deeply concerned about the proposed cuts to Pell Grants and both the short and longer impact these cuts would have on our students and our region. Well over 3,000 CSUSM students receive Pell Grants to fund their college education. Without Pell Grants, a large number of students may not have the means to continue their college education denying our region a pool of skilled and educated workers.

The way people joined to speak out in Egypt during recent events is a good example of how change can come about.

The most vocal woman gestured and nearly shouted at one of the men who answered her remarks in a slightly edgy but calm manner. In another semester, it would have taken a moment to figure out what they were arguing about, but in the Spring of 2011 it could be nothing but The Koala. Incidents such as that have volt.

Louis CK, Lewis Black, Patton Oswalt and other popular comics thrive on jokes similar to those in The Koala. In my twelfth semester of college (yes, twelfth), I have never seen a campus so alive with passion and debate, not to mention finally a dash of the tomfoolery I expected (a la "Animal House," a film that pioneered modern rebellious comedy). But some members of the CSUSM faculty and student body feel that, as The Koala violates the school's mission, the publication should be shut down. It does not. It should not. The administration is right to cite the First Amendment and allow the distribution of The Koala on campus. Hate speech must be supported by a legitimate criminal threat to violence, and The Koala members have no more history of violent acts than the creators of South Park. While lessons in morality are honorable, students are here to earn degrees and, in turn, make more money. CSUSM's largest major, Business Administration, exists to maximize profit. The paper's content is unpolished, could be funnier and less crass, but considering what sells in the comedy world, perhaps The Koala's writers are Cougars who are actually applying themselves. �T H E K ELLOGG LIBRARY C S U S M ' S C AMPUS JEWEL M ORGAN HALL LAYOUT ASSISTANT With the Kellogg Library being five floors high and nearly 200,000 square feet, some might feel that the library is too confusing and won't take the time to explore what the Cal State San Marcos library has to offer. Students who do take the time to check it out will discover a wealth of resources and a friendly staff that is eager to help you with any questions. Construction for the Kellogg Library began in 1996 and ended in 2004. It bears the name of multi-million dollar donors Jean and W. Keith Kellogg II. Today, The Kellogg Library is home to roughly 300,000 volumes, print subscriptions, e-journal titles, computer files and e-book titles. The library's website, http:// biblio.csusm.edu/, contains research databases, an online card catalog and a live librarian chat, among other services. Only accessible by the elevator or the stairwell next to Starbucks, thefirstfloorof the library contains the Math Lab, Writing Center, and several classrooms. Most students call the first floor the "dungeon" because there are no windows and it is darker than the rest of thefloors.Because it is partially underground, cell phone service on thisfloorcan be weak. The secondfloorof the library can be most easily accessed from the outside doors next to Craven Circle. This particular floor is home to the media library, the student help desk and the open computer lab. The media library has over 10,000 pieces of "media" and can provide DVDs, CDs, VHS tapes and even film editing equipment for research or recreational use. This section of the library has several conference rooms equipped with TVs and media playing devices. Directly across from the me-* dia library is the Student Help Desk where students can rent out laptops and other media de- vices for several hours. They also have separate media rooms available on a first-come-firstserved basis to students who are not media or arts majors. The thirdfloorof the library is likely most familiar to students. This floor is the library's central "hub" where students can check out books or use the reference materials. There are seventy-eight computers that students may use for research or printing documents. Students can purchase and load print cards on the third and the second floors. The third floor lobby hosts a gallery of student art throughout the semester. The fourth and fifth floors are very similar to each other. Both floors contain most of the library's books, have multiple desks around the outer edges and contain group study rooms. It is possible to get lost easily on these twofloorsbecause there are multiple directions of books and several relaxing coves with comfy chairs throughout the floors. On the fifth floor, the Reading Room is a perfect place for relaxing, reading, and working. Lighted tables, several sofas, and a fireplace add a unique and calming ambiance to this room in the library. For those willing to look around, the Kellogg Library truly is an indispensable resource for CSUSM students. •IB Photos courtesy of Morgan Hall ASK THE COM: PATINO ANC RELATIONSHIP APVICE I've known this girl for years, and we are the best of friends.

CHIPOTLE M EXICAN G RILL AUTO PARKWAY & V ALLEY PARKWAY �HOME REMEDIES TO EASE FLU SYMPTOMS FIGHT T HE FLU NATURALLY MELANIE SLOCUM PRIDE STAFF WRITER It's flu season just in time for midterms. If you suffer from needle-phobia and avoided a flu shot this season, have no fear. There are a few home remedies that might make your illness a tad more bearable. You've probably sedh the seemingly awkward commercials for nasal irrigation devices like the Neti Pot (if you haven't, you should definitely Youtube it) where a person pours nasal saline solution from a teapot lookalike in one nostril and the liquid inexplicably flows out the other. Even though this might seem alien to you, WebMD.com reports that studies show nasal irrigation works as an "effec- tive home remedy" by relieving nasal flu symptoms and removing bacteria and virus particles. In addition to the commonly known remedies such as getting a lot of rest, slurping down chicken noodle soup and eating cough drops like they're M&Ms, Learninginfo.org suggests drinking ginger tea, eating foods with a lot of garlic and avoiding dairy products. That same website also suggests that drinking "honey mixed with a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon powder taken daily for three days will help when you have that nagging cough." This will help you sit through your classes without coughing over your professor's voice or onto your neighbor. If you're developing a Kermit the Frog voice due to clogged nasal passages, WebMD.com also suggests using a humidifier to relieve your sore throat and ease your nasal congestion. If you don't own a humidifier and already took your daily shower, boiling water over the stove and draping a towel over your head while closing your eyes and breathing deeply into your nose for 30 seconds creates the same effect. Remember, you're not a superhero. Allow others to take care of you by bringing you soup, joining you for a nice couch potato session, or tucking you into bed. If a friend or family member is willing to help you, take advantage of it and appreciate the rest you receive from their care—maybe just offer them a mask and gloves first. 1 WASH HANDS . 3.

The group, comprised of German students and professors, came together in hopes of restoring the personal freedoms that Hitler's regime smothered during World War n . Their non-violent resistance included distributing pamphlets they wrote advocating tolerance and justice. Holocaustresearchproject.org states that in 1943, the young White Rose members were swiftly tried and executed for treason under the Peoples Court in Berlin. CSUSM remembers their commitment to liberty with a White Rose memorial on the north side of the Arts building. Since it was planted in 2003, the white rosebush encourages passersby to continue the White Rose legacy of solidarity. Students may water it from the bucket located at the base of the plaque. One of the group's only surviving members, Dr. George Wittenstein, selected a quote from the German philosopher Johan Gottlieb Fitçhe for the memorial's plaque. It reads, "And you should act as though all things German depended solely upon you and upon your actions and as though the responsibility were yours and yours alone."

' 1.,,, .I . 111' On Saturday, Cal State San Marcos finished off their extensive opening season doubleheader against Redlands, dropping the first game 5-2 before outlasting the Bulldogs in a marathon, 19-15. In the first half, the Cougars jumped out to a 1st inning lead when Derrisha Lacey crossed the plate on a double steal, and got another run in the 2nd on a double by Heavin-Lee Rodriguez. But Redlands would put up 6 runs on CSUSM ace Brenna Sandberg, while Bulldogs pitcher Kayla Uphold shut down the Cougars for the remaining innings. The second game looked to be all CSUSM going into the bottom half of the 7th, as they led 19-8. The Bulldogs gave the Cougars a scare in the inning, though, scoring 8 before Sarah Beeman tried to stretch a double into a triple and was thrown out. Rodriguez went 5-for-5 with 5 RBI in the game, while Alex Miller went 4-for-4 with 3 doubles, 4 runs and 4 RBI. HOT Tim THE PRIDE FOR Spring training a desert vacation destination MICHAEL RAWSON SPORTS EDITOR Be they diehard baseball fans, bandwagoners or merely fans of hot sun and a good time, gather up the friends, relatives and kids and head East to Arizona: It's time for spring training. Every year before Opening Day, Major League Baseball players pack their cleats and bats and head to one of two warm American locales to train for the real season. While traveling to Florida—where fifteen teams, such as the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, prepare for the year—may be unrealistic, Southern California teams play in our neighboring state. The Padres share the Peoria Sports Complex with the Seattle Mariners in Peoria, the Angels play at Diablo Stadium in Tempe, and the Dodgers go halves at Camelback Ranch in Glendale with the Chicago White Sox. Getting to Phoenix couldn't be easier: Head south from CSUSM to Interstate-8 and go East. Past Yuma, both the 85 North and 95 North will run into Interstate-10. The I-10 East runs through the center of all playing fields. The hometown Padres head into this spring training with much heavier expectations than last year. Picked by most critics to finish in last place before the season, the Friars rode their excellent pitching and wizardry on defense to finish within two games of the playoffs last year, falling on the last day to the eventual World Series champion San Francisco Giants. Several new faces will be on hand in Peoria this year. Wily veteran Orlando Hudson joins the infield, while youngsters Ja- son Bartlett and Cameron Maybin look to make their mark on the starting lineup. Old-timers Aaron Harang, Ryan Ludwick and Brad Hawpe have their sights set on returning to All-Star form. Spring training runs from the last weekend in February to end of March. Several games are played every day. Occasionally, teams divide into "split squads," with half the roster playing at home, and half the roster playing an away game against a different team.- If planned right, fans can see two games played by their favorite team and simultaneously experience different venues. Teams have historically kept ticket prices low for spring training, and while the ceiling has recently gone skyward, dirt-cheap entry can still be had. Luxury tickets at brand-new Camelback Ranch are $45 ,but most parks offer lawn seating for between $5-$ 10. Reserving room reservations in advance always keeps the price low, but lodging can always be found at a reasonable price. Road-trippers with deep pockets can take advantage of deals like the "Steal Third" deal at the plush Wigwam Resort: Reserve two nights, get one free. Of course, the first two nights run at around $250 each. Nothing during the regular season compares with spring training in terms of interactivity. Players are closer and more available for autographs, and often stop to casually converse with fans. The atmosphere relaxes, the grub satisfies and the beer flows as it rightly should. Combined with the sunshine and the crack of the bat, nothing beats spring training for Spring Break. CSUSM TRACK AND FIELD COMPETES AT NAU, AZUSA PACIFIC KYLE TREMBLEY CONTRIBUTOR Cal State San Marcos track & field traveled to Northern Arizona University on Saturday, taking part in the 2011 Lumberjack Invitational.

CSUSM improves to 7-5 on the year. Azusa drops to 6-4. The second game of Friday's scheduled double-header was rained out, but the cloudy skies did nothing to dampen the spirit of the CSUSM Cougars, who were anxious to get back in the win column after four straight losses.

However, the performance in 1996, the "Vagina monologues do not only pertain Monologues" snowballed into a global phenomenon. They started the V-Day movement, which looks to end rape, incest, battery, genital mutilation and sexual slavery around the world. There are now more than 5,400 V-Day events in over 130 countries. The 2011 show featured a Vagina Festival, beforehand, where campus organization came together to hand out information pamphlets. The Vagina Festival also met to support the women at CSUSM and the surrounding community. The show sold out and sadly, the staff turned some eager supporters away, since there was not enough space to accommodate the patrons. "For men and women, this is one of the most powerful experiences you can have around your sexuality, in a public place," Dr. Jennifer Gunsaul- lus, a professor of Women's Studies on our campus said.

Culture, history and art thrive in Balboa Park's rich educational atmosphere and now can all be enjoyed at a discounted price with Macy's museum month pass. With this pass, tickets are available at halfoff original admission prices for all participating museums in San Diego. Some of the biggest features include the San Diego Natural History Museum, Hall of Champions Sports Museum, Air and Space Museum, Museum of Man and Museum of Art. A complete list can be found at sandiegomuseumcouncil .org. Macy's department stores offers this free mu- seum month pass at its San Diego County, Temecula or Imperial Valley locations. B alboa Park is the central hub for all of San Diego's fascinating museums, most of which have suffered in the wake of the recession. This deal should especially interest younger college-age students-who may have free time to spend perusing San Diego's most famous exhibits. This is the best time of the year to visit since museums generally become more crowded during the summer. A public event like this is probably welcome, even if it does involve lowering the cost of tickets for an entire month. If anything, this event appeals to frequent museum patrons but may also appeal to Macy's department store customers as well. Macy's also plays its part to raise the museum's popularity, as it may be expected ; that customers shopping at Macy's who do not normally visit museums may become interested in attending this event. Museum month is a unique opportunity for average shoppers to help support our local museums and experience some fun spending a weekend in historic Balboa Park. The Balboa museums presented extensive amounts of exciting programs recently, most notably an appearance by famous astronaut, Buzz Aldrin, at the Air and Space Museum, which officially kicked off museum month. Aldrin's appearance presented the history and state of space exploration. In addition, Aldrin autographed copies of his books for fans.

Eric Clapton tours to promote his newest release, simply titled, "Clapton." » KINGS OF CONVENIENCE s AMY SALISBURY EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Two years ago, when I came up with the title "Hits of Sunshine" for this column, I intended the "sunshine" part to indicate that the following few paragraphs are meant to bring a new light to one's growing music repertoire. Maybe the reason for my word choice stemmed from creating it during the cold, foggy days of mid-winter. Or maybe it was just because I liked the Sonic Youth song. With that said, my present feelings tend toward lengthening days and warmth. So, for whatever this batch of words turns into, take "sunshine" as a little reminder that summer is never far away, even during the coldest of February rain. Plus we're in southern California. We're spoiled. One of the easiest conduc- tors of mood is, arguably, music. It can take you to different time, different places, and different situations entirely. Some even call music their "escape." Well, I currently care to escape from the looming weather; therefore, with my above sunshine and music library, I will turn to "Gold in the Air of Summer." Erlend 0 ye and Eirik Glambek B0e are the indie-driven, folky duo known as Kings of Convenience. 0 ye and B0e started performing together with two friends at the age of 16 in their first band called Skog, Norwegian for "forest." The duo split from Skog to pursue a different musical direction, forming Kings of Convenience and signing a record deal in 1999. Ever since their first album, "Quiet is the New Loud," the band has been known for its parallels to Simon and Garfunkel, and most notably, its emotive qualities. After much critical acclaim for "Quiet is the New Loud," the band released "Riot on an Empty Street" in 2004. The album broke into the US top 50 charts, but 0 ye and B0e managed to remain below the radar. 0 ye released some solo work and started another band, The Whitest Boy Alive, while B0e focused on his personal life. "Gold in the Air of Summer," off "Riot," begins with an acoustic quietly strumming until two harmonized voices complement the chords. 0 ye and B0e speak of a spontaneous journey to a "house that used to be / the home of a friend of mine." Single piano notes form a melody in front of the guitar as a light Norwegian accent flows through the English words; without the music, the lyr- ics read like a poem. The guitar stops, leaving the voices to sing the title a capella. The music returns and progresses like a warm breeze would, coming to an almost cliffhanger of an ending. After five years of waiting, Kings of Convenience released their newest album, "Declaration of Dependence," in early October of 2010. 0 ye will appear with Whitest Boy Alive at the Coachella Music Festival in April of this year, and Kings of Convenience are currently in the process of rescheduling tour dates after B0e fell ill during an east coast show according to an unofficial announcement on the band's MySpace. �" I A K A M l I \ /t D E D c m / M m I V l I IX^ IV - X /X/l1 h r«—K /• JIT I^ I V BRINGS LAUGHS, A H ANDSOME BRITISH LAYOUT EDITOR What do you get; when you* mix a director with a penchant for actionfilms,a h andsale leading man and a populdj young female co-star withstrangely named aliens and % simplistic plot line?

Overall, "I Am Number Four" will not go down in my book as a complete disaster or a complete failure. It could have been better and it could have had a more urgent and believable scenario to push the characters along. If the plot contains aliens, thé writers still need to make the characters and their plights more relatable to a human audience, but again, it was nôt a complete disaster. The effects seemed fine—even cool at times. Overall, you will not be bored.

XXIII N O. 4 Students a nd faculty plan demonstrations for statewide "Day of A ction" .Features ihcouver 2010 ^Olympics ip | §ée Page 4 ^c>yota Recall BY BEN ROFFEE News Editor On March 4, Students and Faculty across California will join thousands of demonstrators across the state in what is being billed as a "Day of Statewide Action for Public Education." All 23 campuses in the California State University system will hold demonstrations to address California's underfunded public education programs. Though the budget crisis in California's public universities has received much of the public 's attention in recent weeks, the "Day of Action" will take aim at the state's underfunding of public education across the board. According to the California Faculty Association (CFA), "March 4th will be a unified effort of education supporters from all segments of public education in California where participants will hold rallies, demonstrations, teach-ins, and other types of events on every CSU campus and at other locations across the state " The first half of the demonstration will consist of a a teach-in and panel discussion in Academic Hall 102, which will run from 10:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. Dr. Scott Greenwood, Dr. Ranjeeta Basu, Dr. Sharon Elise, and Dr. John Haicon are expected to head the panel. The teach-in will also be simulcast at various locations on campus, at Palomar college, and online at www2.csusm.edu/cfa/. Don Barrett, President of CSUSM's CFA chapter, says the panel "will address a range of topics including the California Master Plan, access to publicly-funded higher education, the role of education as a public good, and "deliverology" and its impact on educational excellence." Immediately following the panel discussion, demonstrators will move to Library Plaza, where a rally will take place from 1 1:50-12:50. During the rally, students, faculty, and staff will share personal testimonies on how the budget crisis has affected them. The idea for a statewide day of demonstrations emerged last October at the Statewide Mobilizing Conference held at UC Berkeley. Hosted by the California Campaign to Save Public Education, the conference drew together hundreds of students and faculty to collaborate on a method for bringing attention to the crisis in California's public education. y prts & E n t e r t a i n m e n t W e b s i t e of t h e W e e k l8Anniestreet.com CSUSM Image Courtesy of calfac.org According to the California Coor- schools, unions, and organizations dinating Committee, "this massive from all across California and from meeting brought together representatives from over 100 different See Teach In, Page 3 receives Hispanic Serving Institution status BY BEN ROFFEE News Editor The U.S. Department of Education has awarded CSUSM status as a Hispanic Serving Institute, opening up new avenues for federal funding reserved only for a select group of higher education institutions.

His comments made me think. I asked myselfifthe Olympic Games mattered. That made me wonder if the games a celebration ofculture and unity or self-indulgence for the athletically superior. But it did not take long for me to decide the Olympics are important Sure, it is exclusive to men and women with particular talents. That is only a limited view of the sports. It is the kind of distraction people need from international and economic tensions. That is the first need to have the Olympics. Aside from all the competitions, it is a literal representation of the different countries. Each delegate proves that people can come together. 1 see the Olympics as a sign of hope that people can get over their differences on a global stage. Only the best athletes can participate, which might be seen as marginalizing ordinary people, but I do not see this as a bad thing. Watching someone compete and seeing the potential of a person is encouraging. It shows that anyone can test the limits of what is considered impossible. The selected athletes can also serve as a focal point in bringing their own country together. Just as the entire competition brings the world together, every person can identify with delegatesfromtheir country. In America, decisions over healthcare and the economy drive us apart, but I hope that for a few weeks we can rally together to cheer on our teams and individuals in Vancouver. It is a competition, and it would be a nice morale boost to see our Olym- pians succeed. There can only be one winner, but the competition is exhilarating. Hockey and figure skating are prone torivalriesthat add to the fun. In the end, it is just a game and should be used as a springboard for pride, not hate. Lastly, it is an expression ofculture. Since the game is in Canada, most of the focus will be on that country, but watching the camaraderie and passion amongst teammates is also enlightening. Spectators and participants can see the way other people act, thus appreciate differences and find ways that humans have more in common than realized The world needs the Olympics. The games are not about dividing the world; it is about bringing them together and celebrating the triumphs of strength, skill, and will.

According to research done by Duke University, suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students. Here at Cal State San Marcos, our comVI f munity has experienced a number of suicides and suicide attempts this year: yes, it happens here. Why, so many of us wonder, are our students turning to such drastic "solutions" to temporary problems'? Why can't they see that their lives are valuable, important, and so much larger than the anguish they are feeling at that moment? Why can't they see how or ^ piirfiii^^ • 'Itos^riai- e d M M , many people truly care about them? At the Counseling Center, we often speak with these students' friends, families, professors, roommates, or RAs. We see the impact of suicide attempts, even when "unsuccessful", on others.

From the same Duke study, 40% of college students report feeling "so depressed that it's difficult to function" at some point during a typical year. Five to ten percent report thoughts of ending their lives. These thoughts are most often not really desires to die, but for the current pain to end. Please, ifthis is you, find the courage to reach out instead to afriend,a family member, a religious advise»; or a mentor and talk about your pain. Or call Counseling Services here on campus. We know from experience that when given the chance to talk the problems out, people realize that there are options, or that it's not as bad as it seems, or that they aren't as alone as they feel they are, and hope is born again. If you are concerned about a friend or classmate: don't be afraid to ask them about how they're feeling, and don't be afraid to ask them ifthey are thinking about harming themselves. The idea that you might "give them the idea" is false. When people who feel this way are asked, the almost always are relieved that someone sees their pain and cares enough to want to know about it And if you ask, and the person admits that s/he is feeling awful and has even had such thoughts, please, take them seriously. In fact, take seriously ANY such talk: 75% of all people who commit suicide give warnings to friends or family members, and far too many are ignored. Let the person know that you care, that s/he is not alone, that such feelings are temporary, and that there are alternatives. And if the person agrees not to "do anything", make sure s/he has a very specific plan to seek safety and solutions. Who will the person be staying with? What phone number will the student call if s/he feels desperate? Why don't we call the counseling center, or talk to housing staff, or a parent or partnerrightnow? Just because the worst thoughts have gone for the moment, they might return, so the person's safety needs to be provided for. Phone numbers that provide help: San Diego Acces & Crisis Line (a 24/7 hotline): 800-479-3339 Student Health and Counseling Services: 760-750-4915 CSUSM Police: 760-750-4567 or 911 if it's a crisis Please, if you are feeling desperate or dangerous, or if you are seriously concerned about someone who might be, use these numbers. And if you would like advice or information about suicide prevention, contact Counseling Services.

Student Health & Counseling Services U niversity V illage A partments A first-hand report o n ' resort style living7 BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer One of the most important factors involved with going to university is choosing where to live. Here at Cal State San Marcos, one option for students is the University Village Apartments (UVA), located next to the campus. Brian Dawson is director and head of the UVA and hefeelsit is a great place for students to live in. He said, "Our primary mission is to build a community. It's a fun place to be. There are programs going on every night. It's easy to makefriends.By living here it is easier to study, you canfindstudy parties easier." There are also financial benefits to living at the dorms and the UVA is not just being offered to freshman. "Rent is not going to be going up. It's remained fiat In years past freshman got priority but due to the state cutting back our funds, we are opening up to all students. It's on a first come first serve basis," said Dawson. The dorms can house up to 625 students, including 18 Residential Advisors and a Residential Director and there are three types of rooms that are offered. The small-shared room includes four beds and is priced at $6,250 for the academic year and $7500 for the entire year. The large shared room includes two beds and is $8,000 for the academic year and $9,600 for the full year, the final option is a private room which costs $9,000 for the academic year and $10,800 for the full year. Students must all sign and pay a $500 license agreement, which is non- refundable. Students are required to pass monthly cleaning inspections of their apartments and there is a no underage drinking policy. The UVA has a community center, which offers students the opportunity to rent free movies and games. It also includes a game room that contains several Xboxs, a Nintendo Wii, a pool table, an air hockey table and a ping-pong table. Each floor has two Residential Advisors that help students deal with any issues they have while living at the dorms. They are also responsible for organizing different program activities such as the UVA Olympics, which involves floor versus floor competitions. Evan Long is a student that currently lives at the UVA. Long said, "I like the dorms because it's a kind of middle ground between living on your own and living with your parents. I prefer it because it really simplifies things and I want the experience of dorm life." He also thinks that it's not just the students that make the UVA a good place to live. "I really appreciate all the effort that the RAs and staff put into making dorm life more than just studying and drinking," said Long. Other students have echoed Long's comments. Connor Spain also lives at the UVA. "The UVA is pretty nice. You can meet cool people. There is more of a college experience," Spain said.

The CFA Board of Directors officially endorsed the idea on Dec. 5, 2009 with a resolution calling on campus CFA chapters to hold "large on-campus actions that are effective, strategic, and highly visible" on March 4. Lillian Taiz, President of the CFA said, "The future of our country and our state are at stake. Our kids need public education from pre-school all the way to PhD. The slashing of education funds has to stop, and the only way to fight back is for the entire education community to stand together," said Taiz. Participants in the demonstrations are expected to address budget cuts, student fee increases, dwindling course selection, admissions restrictions, layoffs, furloughs, and a myriad of other issues plaguing California's public education estab- an institution for HSI status. The achivement was the result of hard work by a special HSI task force here at CSUSM. According to President Haynes, this task force was "a group of f aculty, s taff, student, and community representatives, who have been working diligently to help the University achieve this designation since I first gave them their charge in 2004." "As CSUSM enters its third decade of service to our region, we can all b e proud that our commitment to the historic mission of public higher education is continuing to move forward.

BY MAbLANE DRESSEL Pride Staff Writer Toyota makes a majority of the vehicles seen here on campus because they a re known for being dependable and fuelefficient vehicles that are affordable to maintain, Recently, the trust in these vehicles has been put into question by the enormous amount of Toyota vehicles being recalled. The p urpose of the recall was brought t o the attention of Toyota by a series of accidents, but many Toyota c ustomers have come f orward since the recall announcements to indicate that t hey had complained about unwanted acceleration before t hese accidents took place; Toyota's improper handling of t hese complaints has caused some Toyota owners to realize that not only can ihey not have t rust in their vehicles p erformance, but they also c an't have t rust in the company's ability t o provide quality; service t hat insures t heir safety! A fatal accident involving a Lexus ES 350 took the lives of four people in Santee, where the vehicle speed up to 125mph on the freeway before it crashed past a truck and went air born off an embankment. Accord-M ing to Toyota, the crash was caused by the throttle being wedged down because there is, "...potential for accelerator pedals to become trapped near the floor by out-of-position or inappropriate floor mat installations." Toyota owners who are affected by this fiobr mat recall are instructed to take out the removable driver's mat and to not replace it with any other mat. The Carlsbad Toyota Supervisor, Jana Leopard, said that this recall j ob would require them to have the vehicle for a whole day. The padding underneath the accelerator, under the carpet, will be reduced. They will also shorten the accelerator pedal, and install a f lash in the vehicles computer that causes the f uel line to be shut off when the brake and throttle are being pushed at the same time, so that the brakes are able to prevail over the accelerator. The other recall is to solve the sticky accelerator problem, which will take the dealership a half-day to perform the modifications. For this recall, the customer c an have access t o a rental car, but they must be twenty-one years old. To f ix the problem the dealership will install a reinforcement bar behind the pedal to lessen f riction. Leopard said that concern for this recall is higher involving high mileage vehicles and vehicles in colder climates. Toyota had f irst believed that the unwanted acceleration was only due to the floor mat wedging the accelerator, but with instances such as the one that occurred in Southlake, Texas, the company had to question their analysis. In Southlake, a 2008 Toyota Avalon sped out of control into a pond, and it was determined that faulty floor Image Courtesy of nhtsa.gov mats did not cause the accident because they were found in the trunk. Toyota is making the correct steps to f ix these faults by issuing the largest recall ever, but the question is have they really learned their lesson? Jim Lentz, President of Toyota Sales in the USA makes a statement that implies that the Company wants to minimize the blame. "With respect to unintended acceleration, a rare event for which all automakers have received complaints, the causes can indeed be d ifficult to identify." He boasts about the company, "Confirmed incidents of unintended accelera- tion are a very small fraction of Locations: Carlsbad - 760-438-2000 vehicles on the road, and T oy/ Escondido - 760-746-0601 ota's track record for reliability remains strong " ; They recommend making an appointment.

S even c old remedies y ou d idn't k now y ou h ad BY AMY SALISBURY Editor-in-Chief We've all seen those signs on campus: "If you're sick, stay home!" Most people would not hesitate at the chance to skip a day of class, but when you are not feeling so bad that all jyou want is to stay in bed, taking a sick day has the potential to be boring. If Me common cold is what ails you, there are a few coldfixesmost everyone has at hdme to fill a day with healing power (or at least something to do). Have some OJ with your breakfast. Fresh squeezed orange juice not only takes a little time to prepare, but it is afeaone of the most vitamin C rich foods in existence. According to ^biologist Thomas Peel, vitamin C is not only effective infightingcolds, but it helps in the growth and rebuilding of bone and muscle. Stay away from chalky vitamin C wafers, as the U.S. Food and Nutrition board recommends nutrient intake primarily through foods rather than multivitamins, since the latter are synthetic and less easily absorbed. Go lay out. Here in San Diego, tanning in February is certainly not out of the question. Getting some sun helps your body produce vitamin D, and it can affect your mood in a positive way. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD, appropriately) is typified by depressed moods during Fall and Winter, mostly because of a vitamin D deficiency. According to Mayo Clinic, vitamin D is great for the body and mind. Listen to mom, have some chicken soup. The old mantra as a standby for cold treatment is more valid than you might think. Soup has much more water in it than other foods, aiding in hydration when your body is trying to fight off a cold virus. Parsley and carrots, traditional ^hicken soup ingredients, are both rich in vitamin A; Vitamin A helps keep eyes, skin and mucous membranes moist, in case that dry cough is getting tough to handle (lifeclinic. com). Read: chocolate and peanut butter. This does not mean a Reese's binge is acceptable here, but both foods are high in zinc, which has the potential to shorten the duration of a cold. Chocolate candy with high concentrations of cacao is preferred, according to the USDA National Nutrient Database. Organic peanut butter made from oil-roasted peanuts and minimal sweeteners is your best bet; only 100 grams of peanuts or peanut butter provides nearly half of the RDA of zinc. Calm down with chamomile. Sometimes colds cause an inflammatory response on the outside of your body, including the eyes. Calm redness in your eyes with the super anti-inflammatory food, chamomile. Make a weak tea, let it cool until it is barely warmer than your skin, and rinse your; face with it. According to | he FDA, chamomile causes allergfc reactions in some individuals, so test the solution on the inside of your wrist first. Take a dip in the spa.

"More people want in the credential program than we B u d g e t can allow in," said College of W a t c h education representative for 2004 the Budget and Long Range Planning Committee, Dr. Tom Bennett. As Dean M. Stephen Lilly of the college of education confirmed, "the college of education will be expected to take a part of the system-wide reduction in students. Lilly said because the college's credential program isfifth-year,it would be "better not to admit students, than to admit them and not be able to offer them the classes to Dean Lilly finish." Restrictions to credential program admissions will be based primarily on the needs of the field, he explained. If the pool of available teachers in a particular area is larger than the number of jobs, "that's where we would decide to limit admissions," he said. For example, Lilly said that "There is a chronic shortage of special education teachers in this area. We will not restrain admission to special education credential programs. It wouldn't be a responsible thing to do." Admissions restrictions will likely result in the reduction of one less "cohort group" in a year. The cohort model provides for groups currently of approximately 30 credential students to remain together in all of their courses throughout the yearlong program. Lilly surmised that, "Maybe the best thing we have going is the luxury of the cohort model. Teachers learn from each other and support each other," closely mirroring a professional learning community. He further See EDUCATION, page 2 Other News. Features. Sports. Opinions...

"The state is not going to be better off 20 years from now because we denied people access to higher education," said George Diehr, president of the CSUSM chapter of the California Faculty Association. A number of programs that are considered vital throughout the CSU system are in jeopardy under Schwarzenegger's cuts, the most notable being the Educational Opportunity Program. With form letters lined up on side tables, ASI Vice President of External Affairs Erik Roper encouraged students to get involved politically by calling or writing their state representatives.

Almost 450 students from North County high schools swarmed CSUSM from morning till 1:30 p.m., some for the food and fun; others had a more serious purpose. "I came for info about the university," said Juan Beltran, a senior at Valley Center high school. MEChA ran the event for that purpose, to motivate students to attend college and raise awareness of Latino issues and history. "It explained something about my culture," Beltran said. In California, Latinos are 32 percent of the population, but only 18 percent of the students at Cal State San Marcos are Latino. Latinos are considered underrepresented because of this. "They need to be here, and they should be here," said E. Sugar Martinez, assistant professor for the college of education. She said that we are at a time when demographics are changing "like a tidal wave. "The changes are going to be revolutionary," Members of SoKal represented Escondido Friday as they sang about street life. See MEChA, page 3 Report calls book prices a ' ripoff By MICHELLE VELARDE Pride StaffWriter The publishing incjustry has developed numerous ways to make college students pay high prices for textbooks, a recent report says. The California and Oregon Student Public Interest Research Groups (State PIRGs) issued the report in January, 2004, fittingly titled "Rip-off 101: How the Current Practices of the Publishing Industry Drive Up the Cost of College Textbooks." In conducting their research, the State PIRG's surveyed ten colleges in California and Oregon, and interviewed 521 students and 156 faculty members. One technique used by publishers to get more money is to include additional "bells and whistles" with See BOOKS, page 2 Photo by Tom Pfingsten/77*e Pride Students look for t hese familiar stickers on discounted books in the University Bookstore.

Distribution includes all of CSUSM campus, local eateries and other San Marcos community establishments. BOOKS from page 1 textbooks, such as CD ROMs or workbooks, the report says. Students usually cannot buy the book without the additional material. "Rip-off 101" reports that this tends to happen more with science and math books. CSUSM chemistry professor Michael Schmidt remembers an instance when it was cheaper for the school to order the new edition of a textbook with a CD included than the edition without it. However, by ordering the less expensive editions with the CD, it also prevented the used editions from being stocked, because they didn't come with a CD. Students were therefore unable to buy the more affordable used editions. "Some of the tricks they pull are amazing," Schmidt said. In addition, the report says that sixty-five percent of professors "rarely" or "never" require students to use these supplemental materials. Therefore, when students buy books with additional study items, they are paying for something that they most likely will not use. Angela Lesh, CSUSM sophomore business major, has never used a CD that has come with one of her textbooks. " I'll forget that I even have it," she says, "and then I'll need it to return [sell back] books." The report also concluded that publishers frequently put out new editions of textbooks, even if it isn't necessary. Erwin V. Cohen, a former publishing industry executive for Academic Press, was quoted in the report. "Publishers release new editions of successful textbooks every few years," he said, "not to improve content, although that may be a P hoto by Tom Pfingsten/77ze Pride S haron R omo b uys s chool s upplies in t he U niversity B ookstore M onday.

Seventy-six percent of the faculty surveyed for the report said that putting out new editions for textbooks is necessary "never" to "half the time." As a result of the constant production of new editions, students have a hard time finding used books, the report says. Fifty-nine percent of students surveyed could not find one used book in the fall, 2003 semester. Lesh said that new books go quickly. "If I don't go (to the bookstore) right away, I have to buy new books," she said. Some students, EDUCATION THE PRIDE from page 1 explained, "We know what we need to offer a group of students that comes through the door. Students like the predictability of it. They never stand in line to get a class," About 16 percent of the university's current students are enrolled in the college of education's post-graduate programs, 8085 percent of which are credential students, Lilly explained. Related to instruction, last year's cuts included no layoffs, and concerning the future possibility of faculty layoffs, Lilly stated for the record that, "We don't anticipate it, but we don't know." Last year's budget reduced faculty travel allocations and mileage reimbursements for professional meetings and conferences, in order not to affect the number of sections offered or the number of students admitted this year. Concerning programs to be affected by budget reductions, Bennett explained, "we need to cut areas that we're sure will come back. You can whittle things down in areas and they will never come back. If you cut core essential things that there's a lot of personal interest in, then when funding comes back, they will also come back." Furthermore, he added, "There has been no discussion about what's being removed. It needs to be something that will come back for certain. If we raise class sizes, they may never go back down." Placing a greater burden on teachers, these measures may affect the quality of instruction available within the college of education. Bennett, a mathematics professor, characterized CSUSM as on the "cutting edge" of educational knowledge and resources. His greatest concern as a faculty member was regarding continued faculty support, elaborating that unless teachers continue to pursue professional development, "the ideas that they still hold will be the ideas of yesterday." He continued, "There needs to be continued opportunity to participate in the broader community, so that those ideas can then be brought to our students." Bennett further explained that, "We're very well respected among the communities. We spend a lot of time in the community working in schools, helping them to have leading programs, training See EDUCATION, page 4 ADVERTISE WITH THE PRIDE!

Online textbooks may be a cheaper option, because the cost of paper and printing is eliminated, the report states. Schools could help books become more affordable as well, the report says, by creating book rental programs and by sponsoring bookswaps. (760)750-6099 ,.

In 2002, SDSU implemented CaMexUS which linked them to Canada and Mexico. These are undergraduate programs with the main focus on international business. Students in the Transamerica program will study for a minimum of one year in each country and will graduate with three degrees: a Bachelor of Arts in international business with emphasis in Spanish and Latin American studies, a Licenciatura en Negociaciones Internacionales from the Universidad de Valparaiso in Vina del Mar and Valparaiso, Chile, and a Licenciatura en Negocios Internacionales from the Unversidad Automoa de Baja California in Tijuana. Transamerica director Teresa Cisneros Donahue said the international degree will prepare students to take advantage of new economic market forming overseas and help expand our academic relations with them. Prerequisites of the triple degree program require students to earn 79 units in international business courses. Half of these courses must be completed in Spanish at Transamerica schools plus 49 units of General Education at SDSU.

They performed dances in celebration of Latino culture. MEChA from page 1 she added. During a speech she gave, she performed a song she wrote for the event called "Si Se Puede," — "Yes You Can," — Caesar Chavez's slogan for Latino rights. Her message, she said, was that through education, it is possible for students to grow into leadership — leadership to open the doors for underrepresented people in the community. At Cal State San Marcos, the doors are open for them, said Rosa Balcazar, entertainment chair for MEChA and a freshman at CSUSM. She said the theme for the convention was "Education is not a dream, it is a goal." After speeches, including an intro by President Haines, the students attended workshops concerning entering college and cultural topics. Dr. Carlos von Son, a professor for the world languages department, lectured classes of 50 students on a painting of the "Virgin of Guadalupe." In a world where images represent who we are, von Son talked about image changes in the United States.

"We do it because we love it." Students seemed to love it also with their cheering. "They know what they're doing," said Adriana Solis, a senior at Orange Glen. She said she came just to see them. They sing about Mexican pride, she said. Before the convention ended, Ivette Olmos, MEChA vice president and chair for the convention, collected evaluations from the students.

Affiliated with the North County Professional Development Federation, a consortium of approximately 22 districts, CSUSM would be disabled by budget cuts in its ability to work with teachers in the community. Such collaboration with local school districts is essential when considering its impact, as evidenced by this February 6 statement in the CSU Leader, a weekly e-news publication of the CSU: "CSU has increased the number of new teaching credential candidates to 12,700, a 25 percent increase during 2001-2. The CSU is widely known for preparing 60 percent of California's credentialed teachers." In lieu of these successful and essential CSU programs, state Superintendent of Education Jack O'Connell sent a letter to Governor Schwarzenegger urging that the proposed 40 percent graduate fee increase not apply to credential students, "because of the importance of having a qualified pool of students in the state," Lilly said, adding, "We're going to try to back that up by protecting fee levels as much as we can." Emphasizing the unique importance CSUSM places on teacher education, he revealed that, "This campus invests a higher proportion of its funds in preparing teachers than any other CSU." With regard to this year's funding, the college of education (COE)'s fiscal year (FY) 03/04 initial general fund budget allocation consisted of $4,669,577, or approximately 6.1 percent of the total fall 2003 CSUSM annual budget of $76,510,104, or 11.42 percent of the $40.9 million payroll of 980 employees (full-, and part-time staff and faculty). FY 03/04 budget cuts accounted for $371,959, or 7.97 percent, including a permanent funding cut of $274,917, or 5.89 percent, resulting in a net FY 03/04 COE budget allocation of $4,297,618, according to Resource and Operations Manager for the Provost, Deborah Cutler Ray. Because instructional budgets are separate from all other funds (i.e. buildings), however, the Proposition 55 $15 billion bond proposed on the March 2 ballot would not directly affect these figures, which consist solely of instructional funding allocations. However, as Lilly explained, the bond measure "will have a domino effect," as new construction allows the college of education to "grow into their building," while WMMmwMiftfti Photo by Melissa Rodriguez/TTie Pride .

Proposition 57, a $15 billion bond designed to cover California's current deficit, will likewise effect the college, as feasibly less potential cuts will be directed toward it and the university as a whole. The Governor's proposed elimination of EOP and outreach programs would also have a significant impact, limiting WÈ 'You buy the Pitcher I We buv the Pizza! ¡11^ You buy one pitcher, and well buy you a medium cheese pizza!

The Dean expressed his concern saying, "We're very interested in, and committed to the continuation of outreach programs. Elimination would absolutely affect those looking to come in." Reflecting on the Governor's proposed fee increase structure of 10 percent for undergraduates, 40 percent for graduate students, RALLY from page 1 and an additional 20 percent for non-residents, Lilly expressed that, "One of the really good things this state does is, when fees increase, part of those fees go toward proportionately increasing available grant funds such as Cal Grants, so that those who are least able to afford a fee increase also have the grant money available to them." He affirmed this effect as "a forward looking policy." Golich. "It makes no sense to me." Several other CSUSM faculty members attended the rally, including Literature and Writing professor Lance Newman, who suggested creating a county-wide "anti-cuts coalition." Newman cited a recent rally at UCSD as evidence that students here are "not alone" in opposing the governor's budget cuts. Former EOP Director Edward Pohlert noted that several of the assemblymen students were asked to contact were former EOP students themselves. "There are 300,000 EOP graduates since 1969 that are doing some great work," Pohlert said. "It's not about the governor. It's a numbers game." Pohlert also answered concerns that Schwarzenegger's cuts to the EOP may be racially motivated. "I don't think it's a racial issue as much as a class issue," he said, raising questions about the governor's financial backers. 2004-2005 budget goes unchallenged. The majority of the time during the rally was spent focusing on the governor's plans to cut the Educational Opportunity Program out of campuses across the state. Students were asked to contact local political leaders while hearing testimonies from EOP graduates. "When I first heard about the governor's cuts to the EOP, I was disheartened, because so many of us have gone on to contribute to the state," said former EOP student Susana Gonzalez. "The governor's cutting numbers—he's not looking at your face." According to a fact sheet circulated Monday, the EOP at Cal State San Marcos serves more than five hundred low-income students, providing one $750 grant per year to each eligible participant. EOP services include advising and "supplemental instruction." Interim Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Vivki Golich compared the services offered by the threatened Educational Opportunity Program at CSUSM to those of an Ivy League school. She said that due to its counseling and tutoring services, the EOP here has been largely successful at raising retention rates.

The smaller the class size, the more individual attention each student can receive. In theory this works, but is there a dangerous side effect slowly working its way to the surface, one that is reminiscent of the not too distant past, of say, high school. Disruptive students, the ones who talk about plans for the weekend, what they're going to do or anything that diverts attention from what the professor is teaching. Everyone experienced it in high school, but as mature adults in a state university, it's unlikely anyone will receive detention or a trip to the dean's office. Is it something that's simply a part of human nature or are students showing less respect than they used to towards teachers. "It happened this morning in accounting, it's disruptive, (and) it's rude," said Rico Gutierrez, junior HTM major. Jennifer Diaz, junior, business "exactly" agreed with Gutierrez's comment regarding Erik G uevara classroom pests. "I get up early," Gutierrez explained. "It's not that I want to be here early, but I'm here, and these people disrespect the class. Everyone here's older, it's not like high school. Can't you just be quiet?" Vicki Baiandourian, junior, communications said, "Well.. .1 don't like it, but it doesn't bother me as long as I can hear the instructor. If people around me are talking, I ask them to be quiet." Meeting one of 'those' students, the student who is actually guilty of discussing that guy they'd met at someone's house, or the thirty six beers they thought they drank, could prove to be difficult, after all no one wants to admit they are guilty of annoying others. Erik Guevara, SSM junior gave a sheepish grin and a reluctant admittance to sometimes forgetting to put his cell phone on vibrate mode. Regarding students talking in class Guevara said, "They should go outside, or talk about it later. I think it's disrespectful to talk during class. When I do talk, it's about a class related subject."

Examining Black History Month By LORIANN SAMANO Pride Staff Writer J ennifer Diaz Different classes sometimes require different approaches in classroom decorum. Granted, talking about the weekend isn't one of them, but many times students get in sidebar conversations about class while the professor is teaching. Jason Padilla, senior communications said, "I think its okay (sidebar conversations while the professor is speaking) in certain classrooms. It's not a bad thing for students to talk amongst each other if the subject requires or demands it." Therein lies the crux. Some majors beg for conversation, because without it, they almost cease to function. Any communications professor will tell you that 'noise' plays a big part in receiving or sending a message. As long as that noise is conducive to sending and receiving, play on, otherwise, the process breaks down. "Other classes, it's inappropriate, like a math or sociology class," said Padilla. "(In) a communications class, we're all masters of mass media; it's hard not to communicate."

Sitting at the Black History Month Breakfast, on the CSUSM campus, I looked around at a room full of different people who gathered together to have breakfast, support Black History Month and enjoy the company of other students, staff and faculty who support the same ideas. As I sat there eating, and enjoying the conversation in which I was surrounded, I began to wonder how and when this recognition of Black History Month began. The celebration of Black History Month is accredited to the study of black history by Dr. Carter G. Woodson. Raised in Kentucky by his parents, who were former slaves, he graduated from high school, and went to Harvard to earn a Ph.D. Dr. Woodson, while studying, found that history books greatly ignored black Americans and were only reflected in inferior social positions that they were assigned at the time. Dr. Woodson decided to write black Americans into the nation's history. He established the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History in 1915, and a year later founded the Journal of Negro History. In 1926 he launched Negro History Week, now called Black History Month, as a way to bring national attention to the contributions of black people throughout American history. February was chosen as Black History Month because it marks the birthdays of Fredrick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, two men who greatly influenced the black American population. February also marks other important dates throughout black history such as the birthday of W.E.B. Du Bofs, Feb. 23, 1868. Du Bois was an important civil rights leader and co-founder of theNAACP. The 15th Amendment was passed Feb. 3, 1870, granting Blacks the right to vote. The first black U.S. senator, Hiram R. Revels, took his oath of office Feb. 25, 1870. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was founded by a group of black and white citizens in New York City Feb. 1, 1960. And Malcolm X, the militant leader who promoted Black Nationalism, was shot to death by three Black Muslims Feb. 21, 1965. After learning all these facts, I had a better appreciation and understanding of all of those involved at the CSUSM Black History Month Breakfast. The Black National Anthem sung by Ruby Udeh, the keynote speaker Dr. Edmond Heatley, entertainment from the Black Student Union, who delivered works by Maya Angelo, Lameka Ingram and Anthony Blacksher, as well as a reading by Honey Folk, the ASI president, and Amazing Grace sung by Kimberly Oliver. "Knowledge is the key but only when you share it," said keynote speaker Dr. Edmond Heatly. "To stay free, stay educated." Democratic club builds membership By TOR FREED Pride Staff Writer Politics are not just heating up in the news; it's starting to get a little warmer on campus thanks to the formation of the new Democratic club. Started by Dustin Lacasse, it was only a matter of time before the existing Republican club had a little competition. According to Lacasse, that was the primary reason for founding the club. "I wanted another voice on campus, to counter the Republican rhetoric," Lacasse said. It goes deeper. Dustin said he strongly believes in the values of the Democratic Party and does not believe the Republican Party promotes equality. "This country as a whole has a lot of problems and I think every- one should be treated equally," Lacasse said. He also wanted to spread the message of what the Democratic party is about, what it stands for and how it can make a difference in this country. Lacasse said wants the fledgling club to work with other student clubs on campus to let them know what the Democratic party is about and how it can address their needs. Thefirstpriority of the Democratic club is to build itiynembership. Currently there are seven members but Lacasse does not want that to be confused with lack of interest — many students work when the club meets or have class. He wants to point out that even if students cannot make the club meetings they should still e-mail him and he can keep them informed. After membership, building Lacasse wants to hold a public forum where they can spread the message of the Democratic Party, particularly before elections. "We'd love to have a debate against the Republican club, anytime," he said. Currently the club meets on Tuesdays at 4:30 p.m. in ACD 405, but in the future that will change to Thursdays at 5:30, location is still to be determined. "I just want people to know, if they want something to change they need to get involved and the best way for students to do that is through a student club," Lacasse said. Students interested in information or about joining can e-mail Lacasse at lacas001@csusm.edu. �SPORTS Tuesday, February 24,2004 7 Jock Talk with Josh How much is too much?

I would like to say I 'm a hopeless romantic and I was sobbing because Carrie and Big finally got together. However, the truth is, I am so sorry to see my beloved Sex And The City (SATC) end! The four women on Sex And The City; Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha have changed the perception of single women forever. The life of a single woman has always been pretty much the same throughout the past decades. What SATC did was change the popular definition of what being a single female really is. Before SATC came along, the popular perception of a single woman was that of a lonely girl whose sole purpose in life was to find a husband. Now that image has been shattered for good. The show gained most of its momentum in the first season when it revealed to the world that single women do have sex...and they talk about it too! The unattached female is closer to the playboy bachelor than was ever expected in mainstream television. I became a devoted fan of the show as the women started to grow and evolve. The best part about the four characters was they were not stereotyped into a specific category. Each fulfilled the virgin/whore role at specific times in their lives. For the first time on television, women were having conversations similar to the ones I was having with my friends. It also BEER N UTS By: opened up new topics to discuss with your nearest and dearest. Socially acceptable "girl talk" now ranges from orgasms, vibrators, oral sex, to the more serious impotency and infertility. One of my all time favorite episodes was when Charlotte consulted the other girls in a taxicab regarding the very important "up-the-butt" decision. I was so shocked that four sophisticated women in designer clothes were so freely talking about such a taboo subject. Correction, used to be taboo. Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha have displayed the real single women against the marvelous backdrop of Manhattan. Real woman meaning they have real careers, real friendships, real problems and real sex. Yes, the wardrobe was very unrealistic, but the eye candy was great. The show has also been a great source of information for men. No longer is just having a penis qualification for being a significant other. Single women now have much higher expectations.

Students of San Marcos, Let me first start off by saying that I am not here to discredit or bad mouth our new President Haynes. But did you know she gets a whopping $203,376 a year and on top of that she also gets a $36,806 housing and car allowance. I am not upset about her salary because she has earned it, but I am upset with her allowance. There is no need for an allowance when our state is in a budget crisis and our school has no money. It seems a bit greedy to me. Everyone who lives in the United States knows that California is in some serious troublefinanciallyand that money is very scarce. The area in which cuts were made the most was in education and some how President Haynes still manages to get an allowance. With her new allowance, she already bought a new Acura (Grey) with all the luxuries. Either way we as students or tax payers are paying for her allowance and new Acura. Anyone want to go for a ride? Also she writes books and I am sure that there is some money coming in from that, so financially she is ok and lives a modest life. Then why the allowance? Her allowance should be spent a bit more wisely. For example it can go towards our new parking structure, better food (restaurants) and scholarships so that we can attract more students to CSUSM. Or better yet, why not to schools who are in desperate need offinancialsupport so that our youth can get a better education? Isn't the future of the world children? I think so and not a new Acura. For information about our new president you can log onto signonsandiego.com and go under education. Then in the search engine type Cal State San Marcos and you will find all the info about her. Tone Capone 9 On March 5, 2004, CSUSM will celebrate the grand opening of the Kellogg Library by having a Luiseno blessing performed by Chris Devers. In light of other events in this country, a Judge ordering to remove the Ten Commandments from the Court House; City and County councils ordered to remove the Ten Commandments from Public lands; now prayer is prohibited in public schools. So one must wonder why a religious official is allowed to perform this event at a Public school. I have nothing against the Luiseno people or their religion; I merely think that if the State of California, through CSUSM, is going to perform a religious act at the official grand opening of a public building, they should provide an opportunity for all religions to have their representatives present to perform blessing as well. Sanctioning an act by only one religious official gives the appearance of officially "respecting an establishment of religion" in direct violation of the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and the California Constitution, Article I, Section 4. President Haynes should take the responsibility of inviting religious officials from all religions in the area to join in this blessing, or discontinue the singular recognition of the Luiseno blessing. Stan Johnson BA Communication CSUSM Alumni 2003 B lack h istory m onth n ot c elebrated e nough a t C al S tate S an M arcos By Mark Penetra Pride StaffWriter The month of February is Black History Month. One month is set aside to commend and honor our fallen black leaders and to show our appreciation for the legacy they left behind. I did not see too many articles on Black History Month in the local newspaper. Therefore, I decided to get some feedback on what Black History Month means to students on campus. I also wanted to discuss the benefits they have received from these civil rights leaders. I spoke to Susan Loeber, a junior majoring in sociology, and asked her to state her views on Black History Month. She said it was important to her but she did not think that there was enough awareness. She said that perhaps the instructors should talk more about it in the classroom and give some background and information about some of our black civil rights leaders. This will enable students to be informed and will raise awareness. Danielle Storek a freshman majoring in Communication said she did not hear much buzz on campus about Black History Month. She is aware, however, of black leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who gave his life fighting for equality for all minorities. She said it would be great if The Pride could feature a black leader in the papers weekly to help promote black history awareness or if the school can invite black leaders to come and speak on campus. From the interviews I conducted on campus, it was evident to me that Black History Month isn't taken seriously on campus. I came away with the impression that the civil rights leaders' struggles and hardship they endure have been forgotten like yesterday's garbage. In America, we have a tendency to be non-chalant and take freedom for granted. Not too long ago during the Civil War did we have brothers killing brothers as North and South fought over freedom for the slaves. Then May 17, 1954 in the case of (Brown v Board of Education), a young black fifth grade student from Topeka Kansas named Linda Brown was denied admission into a white elementary school. Thurgood Marshall a black lawyer and head of the NAACP took this case to the Supreme Court saying that Photo courtesy of www.time.com/time racial segregation in public school violated the laws of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Supreme Court agreed and this decision became not only the turning point in desegregation of public school but also a beginning to equality among all races. Today this benefit can be seen through the school system, public and private, as we are becoming more and more diverse. This decision ended the (Plessy v Ferguson)case of 1896 of equal but separate. Other benefits we are enjoying today is the right of minorities to vote, to sit where we like on public transportation and the list goes on and on and on. The point is that Black History Month should never be allowed to have its fire flickering. Its fire should be burning with intensity as we remember our fallen comrades who suffered persecution so that we may have a better foundation in life. �American teens abroad make for big laughs in 'Eurotrip' By KIMBERLY SCHLATER Pride Staff Writer "Eurotrip," a film by the creators of "Road Trip" and "Old School," was met with much anticipation at a recent press screening. The story begins on graduation day. Scotty (Scott Mechlowicz) and his best friend Cooper (Travis Wester) decide to blow off their European trip to intern for the summer. After Scotty's girlfriend breaks up with him the trip is back on so Scotty can meet his German Pen pal Mieke (Jessica Bohrs). The boys take a journey through London and Paris. While in Paris, Scotty and Cooper meet up with their friends, Jenny (Michelle Trachtenberg) and her twin brother Jamie (Travis Wester). Then they're off to Amsterdam and on to their final destination, Rome, where Scotty hopes to meet Mieke for the first time. The film is filled with non stop comedy and laughter as the four get a taste of the European lifestyle. This film will make you want to go home and plan your own "Eurotrip."

Pride Dr. K r ocks t he mic while Living Large in t he L ounge. This last Wednesday at noon, the Student Lounge roeked to a different tune as they held their biweekly session of karaoke they call Living Large in the Lounge. The display of singing was certainly a sight to see, and definitely worth the warm welcome of free pizza and soda. It was an unusual picture on campus. It was a hilarious display as a student who calls himself Dr. K was singing RUN D.M.C.'s top hit, "It's Tricky." Dr. K was pure comedy. While most people pummeled through the pizza boxes, casually taking seats on the sofa playing video games, and talking and laughing amongst each other, others contributed to Dr. K's act by jumping and dancing to the music. Dr. K said, "They call me Dr. K I don't know why. It might have something to do with the fact that I work on video games and build home music systems." For whatever reason Dr. K received his alias, it was obvious that he was proud of his identity and loved the microphone. The enthusiasm in the Lounge was con- tagious and other students sang as well. Ashley Mistak, A.S.I, director of educational programming, and James Coleman sang a duet to Aerosmith's "Dream On." Mistak said that she enjoys Living Large in the Lounge for the networking. "A.S.I, is all about networking. That's why I love my position. I am able to promote the opportunity for idea sharing to everyone." Brett Gladys, the social programming director for A.S.I., said, "School sucks if you just come and go." It may not be as "tricky," as Dr. K emphasized in Run D.M.C.'s song, to spare an additional hour on campus to meet new people, enjoy a good laugh, and eat free food.

Photo by Sarah Carlin/77ze Pride Photo by Sarah Carlin/77ze Pride CSUSM CALENDAR •mm By SARAH CARLIN Pride Staff Writer Walking up to Smitty's Downtown last Thursday, a friend and I were greeted by women with big hair smoking cigarettes and men, slightly drunk and a little loud. Past the payphones in the entryway, past the bar flies and the blue pool tables, we took a seat at one of the candle-lit tables. "Go get the book," I said. We were here for our fix, our karaoke fix. Smitty's Downtown, located in old downtown Vista on the corner of Santa Fe and Broadway, is a place "where good friends meet," as their sign boasts. The karaoke junkie can satisfy his or her needs, seven nights a week from 9 p.m. until closing. Smitty's has the best selection of songs; they've got everything from AC/DC to ZZ top, Skid Row to the Spice Girls. Anita, the heavy-metal goddess who DJs karaoke Sunday and Monday nights, has her own personal stash, provided for only those who are worthy of the rock. Sometimes if you are lucky enough Anita will sing DIO's "Holy Diver," and she sings it just like Ronnie James. "Ooh, ooh...To hold me, to scold me, cause when I 'm bad, I 'm sooo bad," sang Tuesday, February 24,2004 11 Linda, who comes to Smitty's with coworkers at least a few times a week, from "Last Dance," helping us all remember that disco just won't go away. Sally sang Three Dog Night's "Mama Told me Not to Come." It made me think Aretha Franklin had died and was reincarnated in Sally. "Stormin Norman, come up and sing your first song of the evening," the DJ said. "We've got Sarah on deck." Stormin' Norman sauntered through the crowd, wearing a ten gallon hat, Wrangler jeans and a rodeo belt buckle. Elvis returned to his country roots that night with Stormin' Norman's version of "Viva Las Vegas." "Sarah, come up and sing your first song," the DJ said. As I walked toward the stage my body felt a sudden rush of adrenaline. I picked up the microphone and I played the airkeyboard as the white letters spelling out the words to The Animals' "House of the Rising Sun" came up on the monitor. This may be a hard habit to break, and until I find the willpower, I may need to continue getting my fix by entertaining my adoring fans. 12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. Black History Month Soul Food Luncheon, admission $10 students, $15 faculty/staff, Clarke Field House.

Or so it would appear. In actuality, these three make up an amazing blend of musical talent known as Mark O'Connor's Hot Swing Trio. The trio graced CSUSM's Performance Hall Feb. 16 with a 40 minute entourage of acoustical medleys. You could feel the energy emanating from the artists in the intimate theater where three rows of chairs were set up less than 10 feet from the performers for the sold out show. Vista resident Mark O'Connor has been composing since the age of thirteen, and is internation- ally acclaimed for his ability to mix classical violin with the raw abandon of fiddling. His body pulsed to the beat of his quick and clever strokes of the fiddle. With amazing slack in the flexibility of his right arm, O'Connor's bow sailed across the metal strings of his instrument with seemingly effortless accuracy. Standing in the middle was double bassist Jon Burr, who held his massive standing bass against his shoulder. Holding down the correct chords with his left hand, his right hand seemed to bumble clumsily to pluck the thick strings. The swift and responsive tempo he maintained, however, Photo by courtesy of Mark O'Connor's Hot Swing Trio Mark O'connor, J on Burr and Frank Vignola bring local music of international acclaim to Cal State S an Marcos. was anything but clumsy. At the right of the trio sat guitarist Frank Vignola, whose nimble fingers stroked and plucked the strings to the delight of the audience's ears. With consummate accuracy he strummed out the tunes with his buddies, closing his eyes often as if the music were part of his soul. Taking cues from one another, the trio recreated classics like "Fascinating Rhythm" and brought poignant originals like Local band P.O.D rock a sold-out show at Cox Arena "Anniversary" to life. CSUSM was just a short stop for the Hot Swing Trio who will continue with performances across the country in the next few months. Remedy Motel to play in San Marcos Photo courtesy of P.O.D. By TOM PFINGSTEN Pride StaffWriter Payable On Death aka P.O.D. returned to San Diego on Tuesday, Feb. 17, for a sold-out show with Linkin Park, Hoobastank and Story of the Year. Playing at SDSU's Cox Arena, P.O.D. performed some of their most popular songs, as well as a few off their new self-titled album. As the only band out of the four from San Diego, P.O.D.'s performance was widely anticipated. Floor access tickets sold out on the first day they were available for purchase, and tickets on ebay.com were selling for upwards of $100 in the days leading up to the concert. Since P.O.D.'s inception as a punk-rock garage band in Chula Vista, lead singer Sonny Sandoval has helped propel the group into the international limelight. Before kicking off the current "Meteora" tour with Linkin Park, P.O.D. performed for several months in Europe to promote their new CD. Headlining last Tuesday's show, Linkin Park proved musically to be the best of the four bands at the show. With the majority of their performance coming from their hugely popular album, "Hybrid Theory," they were able to get the somewhat disengaged crowd on their feet for the entire hour and a half that they played. Linkin Park was also the only band to attempt a series of slower songs with a young, energetic crowd when co-lead singer Mike Shinoda brought out a piano towards the end of the concert to give Chester Bennington the opportunity to show off Photo courtesy of Linkin Park his impressive voice. Hoobastank and Story of the Year, while receiving polite applause and moderate audience interaction, played well enough to deserve the honor of opening for Linkin Park. The highlight of the concert came in the encore, when Linkin Park brought out the lead singers from the first three bands to perform "One Step Closer"—arguably their most popular song. While Linkin Park dominated the show with theirflashyperformance, Sandoval showed that he's still in touch with his home crowd while proving P.O.D. to be thè most downto-earth of the bands that played. Before finishing off their set with their well-known "Southtown," Sandoval brought over a dozen local children onto the stage to help sing "Youth of the Nation." He then directed the 5,000-plus sellout crowd in singing "Happy Birthday" to his nephew. The "Meteora" tour will move to the Midwest and the East Coast before returning for a last show at the Great Western Forum in Los Angeles. While Linkin Park will most likely wait to begin their next series of concerts, P.O.D. has already announced plans to kick o ffa headline tour with Blindside in Denver on May 1 of this year.

Their sound is made up of Michael Stipe sounding vocals, Grateful Dead reminiscent guitar and a Counting Crows-esque college radio friendly sound. Originally from Utah they have been warmly welcomed and adopted by the SoCal surfer scene since they settled in Oceanside four years ago. The band is made up of Mica Johnson doing vocals, Mike DiGregorio on bass, Nate Semerad and Shawn Ryan on guitar and Tim Haren on drums. They will be playing for their fans at San Marcos' new hot-spot The Blvd this Friday night.

XXI NO. 6 N e w University Student Union to enhance campus life Feedback from students to benefit the final product BY DIANA VALDIVIA Pride Staff Writer CSUSM is a relatively new campus that continues to grow in many aspects. One of the aspects that the university is taking into consideration is the planning and construction of a new student union. The University Student Union is currently located in the Clarke Field House. The overall purpose of a new University Student Union is to strengthen a sense of community and enhance campus life. A new University Student Union would give students a greater space for programming, student centers, student government offices, and gathering spaces. It would also include retail and food services. Last spring, the university conducted survey methods to see how students felt about building a new student union. In more than 1,200 online surveys completed by students, 16 intercept interviews, and focus groups consisting of 51 students: approximately 34% see it as a very high priority for CSUSM to construct a new University Student Union, about 30% think of it as a high priority, and only 3% believed it is a very low priority for CSUSM. Last December, President Haynes approved alternative consultation for the advisory process of building a new University Student Union. Alternative consultation is one of the two options for building a new University Student Union. The other option would be to conduct a referendum. The same month the Student Fee Advisory Committee reviewed the information and a presentation of the concept of building a new University Student Union. The alternative consultation includes a bigger opportunity for students' input. It is currently offering open forums for general student body, faculty, and staff. There are also specific forums for ASI Board of Directors, University Student Union Advisory Board, presidents and treasurers of student organizations, Orientation Team, and Student Affairs Leadership Team. The alternative consultation also includes online forms students can fill out to voice their opinions and give feedback. During the rest of February and versity Student Union Task Force March, the advisory process will Members.

This June, President Haynes will review the report and make afinaldecision. The development of the new University Student Union will be in two phases. Phase I would be around 58,576 sq. ft. and have a price tag of about $50 million. Student fees willfund almost $47 jnillion and more than $3 million will come from vendors. The new building would include ,jpod services such as a coffee shop, dining, a convenience jtore, and three of six fast food con; cepts. It would g|so house conference and meetiiig ìooms, student areas, ASI offices, Student Life and Leadership, the Cross Cultural Center, the Women's Center, the Pride Center, among others. The University Student Union would open fall 2013. The Clarke is almost 34,400 sq ft. The projected building for phase I of the University Student Union would be more than 58,500 sq. ft. Phase II would be more than 85,800 sq. ft. and cost approximately $70 million. Phase II will depend on the availability of funds, the success of Phase I, and third party funding. It would consist of more food services, conference and meeting rooms, student lounges, and student union offices. Other centers in Phase II would include the Veteran's Center and a Commuter Student Center. The existing student union fee of$65 would be used to fundPhase Courtesy of CSUSM Planning, Design & Construction I. In thèfiscalyear 2010/2011 the | r previously approved fee would increase to $80. There are arguments from both sides supporting the fee proposal and against the fee proposal. One of the arguments that support the fee proposal is that this new student union will create opportunities for student employment, campus involvement, and leadership development. Another positive aspect is that it gives the campus more venues to study, and both formal and informal spaces for meeting and dining. Some students argue that they will no longer be at the campus when the University Student Union opens in 2013 and do not see the sense in paying for a building they will not be able to use. Hand adds the students would be able to have a sense of pride, "they are going to able to look back and say 'I contributed to that.'" Quinn explains that it is a great way for students to leave a mark, "it is an opportunity to leave a legacy." A similar situation occurred with the construction of The Clarke when students approved an increase in fees even though they would not use it.

Essentially, he should be held to higher standards, to a higher creed. Luckily, the Richland Country S herriff's Department concluded that there was not enough evidence to file charges. And I think that to come out and admit his mistake was high in character on his behalf. He should be allowed to attend the 2012 Olympics.

The Dream Act, a bipartisan legislation, will provide a legal path to residency for children of undocumented aliens. The California Faculty Association sponsored an open forum on Thursday, February 12 to a standing room only crowd. The forum, titled Underground Undergrads, featured student speakers from UCLA. Sophia Carranza, a UCLA student/Intern for Underground Undergrads, brought the audience to tears as she told the heartrending story of how she discovered, at age 18, she was not a citizen. Carranza is a member of an ever-growing group of young people who want to become citizens, but are technically illegal aliens subject to deportation. Many of these students hang their hopes on the "Dream Act." Matias Ramos, Intern for UCLA Labor Center, explained that the speakers were undocumented students who were "working to expand awareness of the life of undocumented students and promote passage of the Dream Act. We go to high schools and community colleges and tell students about their opportunities in higher education. We also network with other organizations like Espiritu here at CSUSM." The Espiritu de Nuestro Futuro goal is to provide support and networking opportunities to AB 540 students. Governor Davis signed AB 540, a law that allows undocumented students in California community and state college systems to attend college without paying non-residency fees, in 2001. One requirement of AB 540 is that the student must file an application for residency. "I have been in the process for years... my whole family has been in the process... it just takes so long," Carranza responded when asked about her application status. "Some of my top students are AB 540," said Espiritu faculty advisor Silverio Haro. "[For them] there is no retreat, it is full steam ahead." Ramos hopes that the Dream Act will finally pass with Obama as President. He Tuesday; February said there are many undocumented students and graduates who are just waiting for their chance to become citizens and make a difference. "We consider ourselves Americans," Ramos stated. Public education was established in the 1700s as the primary means to create a more informed and capable citizen who could contribute to the betterment of the country. That is one reason the law mandates people attend school. So if a person completes high school and is in good standing with the law, should that not be sufficient to declare you a citizen? And if you go on to college, and work to improve your community, shouldn't that be sufficient? Why is being bora here the major prerequisite to citizenship?

In a mass e-mail received by much of the student body, CSUSM administration informed everyone that a proposal had been made that the school start offering Army ROTC courses. Like the ROTC programs of many surrounding high schools, military personnel would set classrooms and campus areas aside for pre-military training and education. Some see the ROTC's presence as beneficial to the campus. "The presence of the ROTC means a lot more people on campus, and could bring a lot of potential students to our school" said Joan Anderson, an NWP teacher consultant at Cal State. However, the main problem lies in the military's stance on sexual orientation conflicting with the campus's policy of non-discrimination. In response to this, the school's Academic Senate started a study group to determine students' opinions on the matter. "The goal of the study group is to gauge public opinion and deliberate on the subject; no more, no less," said Don Barrett, the co-chair of the appointed study group. The LBGT group on campus has also taken a neutral stance on this issue. "Because there are so many conflicting opinions between members, we don't have a strong stance ill either direction." Because of the complex issues involved with this conflict of interest, it is hard for many on campus to take a decisive stance. Since Image courtesy ofgoarmy.com CSUSM is such a diverse campus, students who have classes together or work side-by-side are finding it hard to oppose someone who they only disagree with on one issue. While other California State schools like Fullerton and Fresno have ROTC, the fact is that CSUSM is also only a quarter as old as they are. The same goes for other local campuses, like USD, which does not really have this kind of conflict. They are, on paper anyway, a catholic university. SDSU however, has an Army and Navy ROTC program in addition to being a non-discriminatory campus. Could this formula work at CSUSM as well? Whatever decision happens, it will definitely have an effect on campus. Establishing an ROTC program will have conflictions with CSUSM students who want to be a part, but are discriminated against because of the military's policy. On the other side of the coin, however, an ROTC program will bring more students and funding to CSUSM. In addition, it would get our campus one step closer to extinguishing the idea that we are a "commuter school" that is not comparable with the other San Diego college campuses. The decision will ultimately be left up to the student body on whether or not the program will pass. A public forum town hall meeting will take place on February 24 from 12:00 12:50 pm, in Markstein Hall 125. Since it takes place during U-Hour, students will be able to attend this meeting and have the opportunity to make their opinions known. If this issue is believed to be either beneficial or not for the campus, take this chance to make a change.

"Yeah, because it's for more collectiveness of the students, I don't think we have enough going on to get students together, Everyone just comes to class and goes to class.

Bad Religion's frontman, Greg G raffin, may not look like a brain, but underneath his punk rock shell, he is a man of science. The title of his PhD Zoology thesis: "Monism, Atheism and the Naturalist Worldview: Perspectives from Evolutionary Biology," concentrated on prehistoric evolution, with a philosophical emphasis on the dynamics between evolution and religion. G raffin worked as the principal investigator with the Cornell University Evolution Organization (cornellevolutionproject.org). G raffin also challenged his intellect by becoming a professor at UCLA, he taught Life Science 1. "I believe thoughts and ideas are far more long-lived than fashion. Those are the things that I try to inspire young people to do, whether i t is in the lecture hall or o ajstage on the Warped T oui\ ^aid G raffin in an interview for the "Daily Bruin," the UCLA student newspaper. G raffin wasn't only academ,, ically inclined. In the early days of Bad Religion as an unsigned artist, G raffin took a business risk and started his own record label, Epitaph. Epitaph later fathered other great punk bands like The Offspring, Pennywise, NO FX and Rancid that revolutionized the stale punk era of the 1990s. His music endeavors never cramped his academic style, but instead complimented one another. Bad Religion's 13 Album, "Empire Strikes First," took a very serious and political stance on the U.S. government's reactions to 9/11. Graffin's intellectual charm seeps in the song "Let Them E at War." Nerdy glasses and preppy cardigans really must have helped Cuomo Rivers on the east coast in earning his English Degree at prestigious Harvard University. Lead singer of the garage-band Weezer, Rivers graduated in 2006 after intermittently attending Harvard since 1995 (Spin.com). Lead singer for notorious rock band, The Doors, Jim Morrison was a UCLA graduate and enjoyed making short films. He participated in the School of Theater, Film and Television as he earned his Bachelor's in Theatre Arts, according to UCLA's website. ftexter TSoliand, lead singer for the Offspring took a similar route of academics and musical achievements as Bad Religion's Greg G raffin. Holland studied at USC for his bachelor's in biology in 1988, and two years later earned a Master's in Molecular Biology from USC, according to the "Daily Trojan," USC's daily student newspaper. A fter gaining great musical success with the Offspring's debut album, "Smash," on Epitaph, Holland began his own record label Nitro, which features rockers, A.F.I. American Idol winner of 2005, Carrie Underwood was the f irst country star to come from the hit show. Underwood left to audition for American Idol with only three units left to graduate. She went back to school a year later and completed her degree in Mass Communications with an emphasis in Journalism, according to People magazine. Brian May, guitarist from the band Queen, studied astrophysics at Imperial College in London, and a fter Queen's great music success, May went back to finish up his PhD in astrophysics. The title of his thesis is "A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud." In 2007, May became the chancellor of Liverpool's John Moores University, according to LJMU website.

Lisa Dickinson, Fitness and Wellness Coordinator, says the goal of the program is to help individuals meet their fitness goals and to provide a service to the campus community in a familiar environment. "The student-centered program allows for an excellent work experience opportunity for new and entry-level personal trainers to build their professional skill set while working on campus," Dickinson said. The program consists of three Cal State San Marcos students who are nationally certified personal trainers and Kinesiology majors. Dickinson added that the program plans to add more trainers in the future. Membership in the program requires that students are members of the Clarke Field House/ University Student Union as well as the price of the personal training session or package. Current matriculated students are automatically members after paying the university, student union fee when tuition is paid. Others, such m ^ ^ m y ^ m f f ; and alumni can be members once they pay a membership fee. The membership fee changes depending on the method of payment and membership type. Once a member, enrollment in the program requires students to sign up by completing a series of forms, such as a contract and health questionnaire, an initial consultation with the personal trainer, and payment for the sessions or package. Information about the program, including forms, personal trainer profiles, and the fee schedule can be found at http://www.csusm.edu/ theclarke/clarkept/rates.html. Gracie DelMar, a current student at Cal State San Marcos, had her first personal training session and consultation on February 3. DelMar said this was her first experience having a personal training session because "it's too expensive" in other gyms she has visited. The motivation factor and flexibility of the trainer's schedules is one of the additional benefits of the program, DelMar said. Since the personal trainers are also students, their schedules of availability vary. The Clarke Field House/University Student Union is open as late as 10 p.m. on most weeknights, convenient for those students who may want to train late after classp^IMMar added that sh£ is haf personal trainer Weston. "He has helped me with my form, and shown me how to exercise properly and taken into consideration my goals and helping me work towards those goals," said DelMar. Cal State University San Marcos student Weston Ryan is a kinesiology major with an emphasis in pre-physical therapy, and certified personal trainer. Kinesiology is the study of human movement and the major at CSUSM includes four concentrations to choose from. Ryan is a freshman who passed his certified personal trainer exam with the National Exercise Trainer's Association (NETA) in the fall of 2008. Although only a freshmen, Ryan is very involved on campus. He is a member of CSUSM's Track and Field, the Cross Country Team, recently pledged to Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and aspires to be a physical therapist in the future. Ryan's inspiration for what he does is helping others and contributing to their health and fitness success. "Most important is being able to help people and improve the lives of others," Ryan said. Ryan sees the new Certified Personal Training Program at CSUSM as a great benefit. The flexible hours, state-of-the-art facility, experienced mentors, and the ability to develop professionally are some of the reasons that the program is so great, Ryan explained.

The drinks have varied flavors (the Arnold Palmer is a favorite), are relatively cheap (99 cents for a tall can), and taste a lot less terrible than Powerade. The gimmick ofthe Arizona Beverage company (ironically located in New York and Canada) is that its teas offer a healthy alternative to sodas and contain the all-important buzzword: "antioxidants." While it is true that some teas contain antioxidants that can help prevent certain cancers, technically McDonald's can make the same claim with the tomatoes it puts on its Big Macs. Passing by the usual flavors, the Arizona RX Stress Herbal Iced tea is a little bit harder to find. The unique faded labeling makes the bottles stand out, making them seem more like bottles of oldtimey snake oil than the usual sugar water. The label claims that it is a "refreshing all-natural tonic" but also advises, "This product is a food, not a drug," which seems to be strange claim for a bottled liquid to make. The liquid itself has a dark amber coloration with the consistency of whiskey or apple juice. This was in stark contrast to the bright yellow color of the RX Energy tea, which was, quite frankly, terrifying. The RX drinks (Stress and Herbal) are the only two herbal teas Arizona offers. The main differences between these and the regular teas is that they have significantly less sugar (a 15 gram difference) and instead of having 100% Vitamin C, contain 25% of your daily value of vitamins B6 and B12. In addition, this drink is caffeinefree, which in itself is a miracle to find in almost any other liquid (even water). While drinking, the tea tastes like a balanced battle between the two main ingredients, black tea and green tea. The black tea is definitely present, but the green tea rounds it out with sweetness before a bitter taste is detected. The thing particularly nice about this tea is that it has more the consistency of real teas, and is less syrupy than the regular Arizonas. So, will the RX Stress relieve stress? Perhaps, if being really thirsty stresses you out more than anything. However, in comparison to other drinks that are packed with sugar, caffeine, and bogus supplements, it is the better choice. Containing calming tea ingredients like chamomile and ginseng, it will help you a lot better after a long day of classes than chugging a Monster will. So if you are looking for a refreshing beverage, pick it up. It will not, however, cure your sinus infection. C ougar Kitchen Eat o f the w eek The W orld's Easiest The Money Pit BY JAMES SEBRING Pride Staff Writer The Money Pit is a new drivethru restaurant in San Marcos. Located on the corner of Mission and Bennett Ave a few miles east of CSUSM, it is short trip, even by bike or walking. The owner, Demetri Kellafinos, took over a long deserted bank and turned it into a family run restaurant. Demetri and his son Artemios, 'Arte', built the Money Pit themselves. "We put in every nail, screw, and tile," Arte said. The Money Pit first opened in December 2008, employing about 25 workers. Their motto is "We don't cook the food till you order it." All of the food is prepared in-house and made fresh. The menu runs the gamut from breakfast foods, to burgers, sandwiches, and salads. There is also ice cream and pastries for the sweet tooth. The chocolate shake is thick and chocolaty. Their prices are well within the starving student budget with a full meal available for under $6.00. "We wanted the food to be affordable," Arte said. The whole project speaks to ingenuity and hard work. Arte points out that the tile floor is all recycled tile from the bank or discarded tile chips from local tile stores. The décor is a collage of pictures,filmposters, and real money from the US and other countries as well as monopoly money and poker chips. The old vault door is center stage, with the vault now used for dry storage. Almost all of the film posters refer to money in some fashion: Fist Full of Dollars, The Bank Job, Oceans 11 and others. On the ceiling over the cashier's counter is $250 worth of pennies, "each one of which I put up there with glue," Arte recalled with a slight grimace. The wood tables and benches all have some kind of money under glass. On one table is an old monopoly set that Arte said they used to play with as kids. "We emptied out our garage and shopped the swap meets collecting old automobile James B. Beam Distilling Co. distills and bottles Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey in Frankfort, Kentucky. Over 200 years ago, the German Boehm family migrated to early America. Through the years the distillery business remained in the family lineage. Officially, the company sold their distillery in 1920 as Prohibition began. In 1933, when Prohibition ended, the company built a new distillery. In 1946, Jim Beam became a global brand. In 2007, Fred Noe III, the founder Jacob Beam's greatgreat-great-great- grandson, took ownership. I'm going to break the third person mode for this article. I know it's tasteless, but this is a tasty treat that my brother and I created two years ago. My brother had recently moved back to California after having lived in Georgia for two years. We were and are very close. Needless to say, when he returned we had a lot of catching up to do. One night we were rummaging through the kitchen. We had a bottle of Jim Beam and some Dr. Pepper. Having grown up with our dad taking oversized jumbo cups of Dr. Pepper to work every day, we had to carry the tradition by always having Dr. Pepper in the home. I broke family tradition and became a Diet Coke drinker but that story is for another time. We can't recall who actually created it. We kind of just looked at each other without saying words. Our inner consciences were talking. He grabbed the Jim Beam, and I the Dr. Pepper. We nicknamed the drink "The Beamer." The rest is Thompson history. To create the pleasantly sweet tasting beverage, fill a cup with three fourths of ice. Add one ounce of Jim Beam per half cup of Dr. Pepper. Let the foam dissipate before enjoying. Try it with Diet Dr. Pepper for fewer calories or switch out Dr. Pepper for Diet Coke and enjoy a "Creamer." For extra pizzazz, add a few slices of peach without the skin for an extravagant delight If serving more than one, refer to them as "The Beam Team." With any alcohol infused occasion exercise caution and license plates and other odds and ends." The Pit appeals to young and old alike with its good food, low prices, interesting décor, and music from the 60s and 70s. Patrons say they like the food, the atmosphere, and easy access with seating inside and out. Demetri came to the US in 1974 from Greece as an undocumented alien. He has worked in the restaurant business for years. His latest dream began to take shape toward the end of 2007 when he finally acquired the old bank. With a year in the planning and getting licensing, and several months rehabilitating the interior, Arte says, "It's nice to see things finally get going and making money."

Mix all the ingredients except the chips in a large bowl using a large spoon or mixer. When the batter is uniform, add the chips and mix until they are evenly distributed. 3. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, place them on a cookie sheet in one-inch balls. 4. Bake them for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. 5. Devour these soft and tasty treats. Tip: Changing the cake mix and chips can create other delicious cookies. For example, try chocolate cake mix with white or peanut butter chips or lemon cake mix with dried cranberries. Feel free to try other combinations, but Angel Food and Funfetti cake mixes never turn out well.

Submit your work of poetry, prose, essay, fiction, non-fiction, artwork, or photography to csusmpride@gmail.com with the subject headline titled: Pride literary magazine. Submissions must be under 5,000 words; maximum of 2 submissions per person. Submissions due April 3. Questions? Contact us at 760-750-6099 or csusmpride@gmail.com California State University San Marcos 'tKnder, University Student Union Student Forums As Cal State San Marcos continues to grow and approach its 20 anniversary, we are exploring options for constructing a facility for campus life, programming, social interactions, and leadership development that will impact the entire campus community. The proposed University Student Union (USU) project will enhance the quality of campus life by providing a mix of informal gathering spaces, retail and food services, and venues for events. However, an increase to the existing Student Union fee would be necessary to support construction and ongoing operational costs associated with the facility. CSUSM will be utilizing an alternative consultation process which provides opportunities for student, faculty, and staff input regarding the proposed USU building and student fee increase through forums and a website (http://www.csusm.edu/usu/) designed to be both educational and a means to obtain feedback. This feedback will then be compiled into a report and presented to the Student Fee Advisory Committee and President Haynes. Your participation is crucial to the process since the proposed University Student Union will have broad implications affecting many aspects of campus life. By attending one of the forums, you will have an opportunity to learn more about the proposed building, view artist renderings, ask questions and provide us with your thoughts and ideas. The open student forums are scheduled as follows: th • February 25,2009 in the Clarke Field House, Room 113, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. • March 12,2009 in Markstein Hall, Room 125, from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. Free pizza will be served!

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 ofthe 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, five years 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. 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 musicians 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's first track, "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 harmo- nies, 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. Twilight: A N ight Beneath the Midnight Sun Part 2 : Bella's Perspective BY KEVIN CHATHAM Pride Staff Writer "Off," Bella heard the words escape her mouth; surprised by the authority of her own voice. "I'm not afraid," Edward breathed, moving Bella's hands to his shirtfront, careful to graze his buttons with her fingertips. "I want you Bella, I want all of you." Bella felt her breath increase, her pulse race, and her thoughts scatter like vapor. She watched Edward peel off his shirt, revealing a torso of immortalized stone - a perfect taut body all dusted with fine, bronze hair in all the right places. Bella watched the last rays of twilight hit Edward's alabaster skin. He glittered, briefly, the soft diamond reflections danced wildly around him before dissipating into the darkness. "I love you Bella," Edward whispered, his voice sending chills down Bella's neck. Then they kissed again; less desperate this time, gentle and exploring. Bella arched up onto her toes, her body rising with passion. She pushed her hands into Edward's chest, fingers spread to touch as much of him as she possible. When the kiss broke Bella started to mouth a path down Edward's body, cataloguing every contour of his flawless physique. She scraped a fingernail over a tiny erect nipple, evoking a gasp of pleasure that made Edward shudder aloud. Then she moved her mouth across his chest using her tongue expertly, teasing the soft strands of hair there. Bella felt Edward's strong hands ripping her clothes off, she heard herself sighing his name as he ripped apart what remained of Her clothing and his own. There they stood motionless, heat emanating from their tense bodies. "I love you Edward," she answered finally, as the couple descended onto a bed that smelled distinctly of Edward Cullen, a kind of aromatic masculinity. Edward's lips were full and strong, alternately nudging and tugging on Bella's lower lip. Edward's tongue, tentative atfirst,was sliding deep into Bella's mouth. "You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen," he whispered, drawing shudders of pleasure from Bella from both his words and the ghostly touches of his fingertips as the skated across her inner thighs. Bella answered back with a deep kiss, pressing Edward deeper into the bed and into a sea of pillows. She licked a long wet path up Edward's inner thigh, smiling to herself at the gasps from above. She couldn't wait any more, couldn't tease, unable to draw out the anticipatory phase. She heard Edward's sharp intake of breath as she moved in. Hands clumsily found her head, tangling themselves in her hair as she started to move, encouraging but never overwhelming her motions. She felt him tremble below her, his body moving involuntarily. Bella felt the hands in her hair tighten and knew Edward was close. Then she realized that Edward's hands weren't tightening in her hair, they were trying to pull her away. Bella complied, moving away to meet his gaze. "Not yet..." Edward whispered moving above her. As the words left his lips Bella couldn't help but notice the tiny foil square between his fingers, and the devilish grin painted across Edward's face. CALLING ALL WRITERS!

The answer is CSUSM's Seventh Annual University Ball. The black-tie dinner-dance and silent auction will be held at the Sheraton Grande Toirey Pines in La Jolla on April 9. Connie L. Anderson of San Marcos is chair of the event. "The University Ball has been a bright light on the social calendar of North County since 1988, and this year's ball promises to be the most exciting event of the new year,' said Anderson. This year's theme is "Building a Dream." . The goal of the event is to raise $30,000 for the University. Proceeds from the ball go towards supporting CSUSM projects that need additional resources such as scholarships for deserving students, seed money for emerging programs, books for the library, and important community events such as the American Indian Pow Wow and the International Festival. " Supporting C SUSM is such a worthy cause. The money raised by the ball provides the University a margin ofexxcellence that cannot otherwise be achieved. Just a few dollars can make a difference in whether a student stays in college or is forced to quit. I am glad to live in a community where people believe in education, and more importantly, believe in helping young people," said Anderson. Anderson recruited a team of community leaders as the executive committee to coordinate the ball. "The committee is already hard at work seeking donations, expanding the program, and designing decorations. To assist us in defraying expenses of the ball, the committee members are calling on individuals and businesses to provide underwriting," said Anderson. This year, a silent auction will be added to the evening's events. The newly formed CSUSM Alumni Association will be coordinating the auction for the Ball. Provided by Hoehn Motors Inc., the premier auction item will be a 1994 Suzuki Sidekick. Individual seats are $150 or $1,500 for a table of 10. Special "Star" tables are available for $2,000 for a table of 10. For information about tickets and donations, call Jane Lynch at 752-4406. Every year about 9,000 children and young adults die from leukemia and other fatal blood diseases. For many the only hope for survival is a bone marrow transplant. Nearly 70% cannot find a suitable match within their own families. These patients need to find unrelated donors. The chance that a patient will find a matching, unrelated donor in the general population is between one in 20,000 to one in a million. Because tissue types are inherited, and different tissue types are found in different ethnic groups, the chances of finding an unrelated donor vary according to the patients' ethnic into tag Join us on Saturday, March 10th • ^ T h e W riting C e n t e r * * Avoid the end of the semester crunch.

The Solid Waste Reduction Planning Committee and Mashburn Waste and Recycling Services will be conducting a waste characterization Thursday, March 10, from Noon to 1:30 PM in the upper faculty/staff parking lot. A waste characterization is part of the campus recycling efforts and is a thorough, comprehensive sorting, categorization and weighing of materials from the disposal and recycling streams. Even though CSUSM has an aggres- sive recycling program in place, waste characterizations have to be done periodically to identify additional items which can possibly be diverted from going to the landfill.

While students on the fast track to graduation may view the writing requirement as an unnecessary hurdle, is this the case? When we asked two founding faculty members about the reasoning behind the CSUSM writing requirement, here is what they said: Dr. Larry Cohen, Founding Faculty, Biology: "I wholeheartedly support the writing requirement at CSUSM. To a large degree, we seem to think with words. If a concept is understood, one should be able to describe it to another person. If one cannot explain something, perhaps one does not understand it. The writing requirement at CSUSM fosters improved communication and thinking skills. However, I have never felt that writing across the entire curriculum made sense. For example, large seminars or classes heavily dependent upon symbolic concepts might better be exempted." Dr. Carolyn Mahoney, Director, Math Program: "As a founding faculty member, I believe very strongly that we should have a writing requirement in all subjects. It exposes students to, and gives them familiarity with the expository and technical writing that is necessary to do good math. In particular, writing helps students process their learning and encourages them to think more clearly about what they do and do not understand. All math faculty incorporate writing in either weekly journals and short papers that reflect a student's understanding of mathematical notions or in term papers which explain and/ or extend classroom discussions." Clearly, sound reasoning guided the establishment of the CSUSM writing requirement. The requirement was not designed to wreak havoc on our lives or distance us from our families, but to foster the critical thinking skills and analytic agility fundamental to intellectual growth. Most of us entering professional life after graduation will be required to draft reports and resumes f or years to come. And our ability to communicate effectively will to a large degree determine our eventual success. The next issue will present interviews with CSUSM alumni who have already seen their investment in the writing requirement pay off big in career opportunities and graduate school admissions. These CSUSM alumni attribute their post-graduate success to improved communication skills honed through our university's challenging and innovative writing requirement that has and will continue to place CSUSM graduates a step above the rest. • TEACHER EDUCATION FAIR March 2 ,2-5 PM will be a ttended b y s everal s chools, including: Anaheim City Schools Cajon Valley USD Chula Vista Elementary Escondido USD Fallbrook USD Lemon Grove S D Los Angeles Unified S D Murrieta Valley USD Oceanside USD Ramona USD San Diego USD Vista USD Cal State University, San Marcos will of employers and be flexible because you hold its Career Fair for S pring' 94 on Wednes- may encounter cancellations, crowded conday, March 2 and Thursday, March 3, in the ditions and lines to talk to certain employers.

Student Survives Fire, in Need of Basics Recently one of our students, a single mother with an eight-year old boy, lost her home and all of her belongings in a fire. Fortunately, the student and her son were able to escape the fire without injury. However, this loss has left her in dire need of many items. Donations of cash are welcome as all funds earmarked for tuition, etc. were required to replace many of the daily musts. Therefore, if you are able to help with any of the items listed below or monetarily, please drop your donations at the Office of the Associate Dean of Students, Craven Hall 5115 or call 752-4935. There will be a small get-together to give the items to the student on Tuesday, Mar. 1, 5-6:30 PM in Commons 206. Please join us. The following items are needed: Women's clothing: pants, skirts, etc. size 16; blouses, coats, sweaters size 18; boy's clothing: shoe size 1; pants and shirts size 8-10; toys, books, puzzles; a desk or small table and chair; lamp, bookcase or shelves or stackable crates for books; dresser, iron and television.

Not only is she an active member of the council, but Sadova hopes to make a run for President of the student council next fall. Michelle, an English major, hopes to further her studies in public administration. She anticipates graduating in spring '95. As an active student representative at CSUSM since the fall of '93, Michelle came into the student council with the philosophy of "serving students currently attending CSUSM." Last semester, Michelle served as Cal State Student Association (CSSA) representative. As this campus' CSSA representative, Michelle attended monthly meetings held at other CSU campuses throughout the state to discuss matters of importance to all CSU students such as campus base fees, legislation and health issues. The CSSA also reviewed Board of Trustees' mandates and their effects on all CSU campuses. Michelle was responsible for bringing yoga to campus which led to forming the Recreation Committee this semester. "We're looking to provide a variety of recreational activities at reasonable prices and times convenient for students." The Recreation Committee is hoping to bring other classes and activities such as martial arts, self-defense and aerobics, which is scheduled to Associated Students Need Volunteers for Spring '94 Elections Five volunteers are needed to serve on the Elections Committee for the Associated Students Spring '94 elections. This committee implements and oversees elections for the president and 12 student council representatives; two each from the College of Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, and Education; two Post Baccalaureate; and four undergraduate reps-at-large. Students serving on this committee cannot run for office. A chairperson, personnel, policy and procedure, publicity, and facilities coordinators serve on the committee. If you have expertise in any of these areas, or are interested in becoming involved in the election proceedings, please advise A.S. president, Richard Molloy, in Commons 205 or call 752-4990. m£ fAijfefc begin next week. One of Michelle's goals is to provide the opportunity for CSUSM students to teach these classes. Michelle enjoys communicating with students and keeping them informed about current legislation and issues affecting CSU students. In addition to her studies, and participation on the Associated Students Council, Michelle is actively involved in other campus and community activities. As President of the Earth Club, Michelle and other members of the club are preparing for the Second Annual Earth Day event scheduled for April 21 and April 23. In addition to Earth Day activities, the Earth Club works on environmental clean-up projects in the community and local beaches. "We'd like to see hiking and walking trails around campus for students to use and appreciate," says Sadova. Both the AS Recreation Committee and the Earth Club are actively supporting the development of campus hiking trails.

Friends of the Library Announce Book Scholarship Winners Winners of the Friends' Book Scholarship competition have been selected for the spring semester. Twenty-seven CSUSM students participated by writing essays on the subject How Books Have Influenced My Life. Each of the three finalists receives $200 to be used for this semester's books. The University Store contribute $100 of the $600 plus an additional 10 percent discount to the winners. Congratulations to this semester's winners: • Melva Dudley, a Social Science major with an emphasis on Sociology, from Oceanside. • Robin Kaiser, an English/Spanish major planning to teach middle school, from Vista. • Mollie Tammone, a Liberal Arts major with an emphasis on Education, from Fallbrook. Applications for the Friends's Fall 1994 Book Scholarship will be available to students on campus after February 15. The deadline for completed essays will be April 25, and finalists will be notified in May. The Friends of the Library, a library volunteer group made up of campus and community volunteers, is also conducting an ongoing mini book sale in the library. It has met with favorable comments from stu- dents and staff alike. Coming in March is the semi-annual book sale during the campus Indian Pow Wow. If you would like to donate any books to the sale, please call Cherie Boiling at 471-7442. The question most often asked is "Where does the money from the sale go?" It helps to provide the student book scholarshs each semester at the univeristy. Plan to attend the Pow Wow and our book sale on March 19 from 9 AM to 6 PM in the faculty/staff parking lot. We look forward to seeing everyone there! In addition to library projects, the book scholarships, and book sales, the Friends of the Library also sponsor lectures on a variety of subjects. The Friends recently sponsored a talk given by Bridget BaileyMeier on medicine in the African-American Community. On March 17,1994, the Friends will sponsor Dr. Patricia Seleski, Professor of History who will be speaking on peace prospects in Northern Ireland. The third lecture the Friends will sponsor this spring is Dr. Vasanthi Shenoy, Professor of Sociology, who will speak on education for the women of India on April 26. If you are interested in finding out more about the Friends of the Library or joining their ranks, call Betty Knoff, president of the Friends, at 744-7084. Huff Awarded Fulbright Scholarship Betty Huff, CSUSM's director of enrollment services was recently awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to study in Germany. Huff is one of 25 recipients from universities across the country who will participate in the Fulbright International Education Seminar for Administrators. The four-week seminar, held in April and May, introduces university administrators to a variety of academic and governmental institutions. It focuses on current issues in German higher education and international academic exchange. The program is designed for administrators of international services, academic affairs, student affairs, and admissions. It includes visits to universities and cities in Bonn, Berlin, and the new Eastern states of Germany. Huff has been with CSUSM for 4 years. Besides admissions, she also is responsible for internationl student advising and serves on the University Global Affairs Committee. "This scholarship is an excellent opportunity to gain greater awareness of other cultures. As CSUSM continues to pursue its mission of international focus and global awareness, we will need to develop more programs that assist students in the transition to education in other countries. The Fulbright program was designed to help administrators in this effort," said Huff of the scholarship. �Students Get Active in Health Education iWiiilfictioii f W r i t p t «; : ••• ; v| •• i S^Wjjatis the jbighooplah we keephear- diameter.

It is an infection of the liver caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HB V). This virus is hardy and highly infectious. About 300,000 hew cases are diagnosed each year. It is 100 times more infectious than HTV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), the virus that causes AIDS. Like AIDS, it has no cure but the good news is that it can be prevented with a vaccine. Hepatitis B may strike silently and cause unknown damage to one's liver. Symptoms of Hepatitis B can be similar to an intestinal virus and be very mild. Others have more severe symptoms with nausea, loss of appetite, fatigue, dark urine and possibly yellowing of the skin and eyes. Also, some people become very ill and can't work or go to school for weeks or months. Because it is a viral infection there is no antibiotic to reverse its course. Between 6 and 10 percent of infected adults become chronic carriers (possibly a million Americans). Unfortunately, they face serious complications of chronic liver dis- the progress of Hepatitis B.

IMPROVE YOUR LOOKS, HEALTH AND POPULARITY. QUIT SMOKING. D1992, American Heart Association �Learning Self-Defense Newest WxMrcise Crane : ^^imercize^'A Susan Mendes, LVN Health Education Assistant On Thursday evening, February 10, I attended the self-defense class which was sponsored by the Public Safety Department and taught by Officer Mario Sainz. Since I had never taken a self-defense class before, I didn't know quite1 what to expect. The instructions said to wear loose, comfortable clothing and sooks, as we would practice without shoes. I had decided to take the class after reading about local women who were kidnapped while out shopping, running errands, and minding their own business. This made me realize that crimes can happen anywhere, to anyone. My classmates were all women who, like myself, wanted to know what to do in a dangerous situation. Officer Sainz started out by talking about possible dangers on campus, such as deserted stairwells and elevators. What to do if attacked in an elevator? "Push the emergency alarm button!" he advised. "Someone will respond." He also reminded us that Public Safety now operates 24 hours a day to respond to calls for help, and that they are able to provide escorts from campus buildings to the parking areas, which is especially important at night. Sainz pointed out that it is a good idea to locate the silver emergency phones found in the campus buildings before you need one. He explained that the phones on the blue light poles in the parking lot connect directly to dispatch and do not require coins. He said that the officers are glad to help students who lock keys in their car or who need a jump-start. After discussing how to avoid danger, he began to demonstrate what to do if you are attacked or threatened. Using movements based on Karate principles, we learned how to side-step and use the attacker's momentum to the victim's advantage. Sainz showed us how to resist a frontal attack and how to escape if attacked from behind. He explained that criminals look for victims, and talked of the importance of assertiveness. I was surprised by two things that evening. First, that you could learn so much in one class, and second, I was surprised that more students didn't attend. This was one of a series of classes that will be offered on campus free of charge for students or staff members. It is a wonderful resource, and I would highly recommend that everyone take at least one class, especially if you attend classes at night, shop in the evenings, or even buy gas or run errands after dark. I t's easy to go on believing "that it couldn't happen to me." Let's not wait until a crime happens on our quiet campus to become prepared.

This February their efforts paid o ff, and the Center for Decision Making opened with its state-of- the-art computer system on-line and running. The two men began by submitting a grant proposal to Hewlett Packard that would provide them with the necessary equipment to establish a group computer facility at CSUSM. Hewlett Packard furnished Jessup and Hinton with $ 150,000 worth of computer equipment that resulted in 30 computers, a laser printer and computer software. Further work was necessary to locate physical space f or the equipment and comply with all the regulations that accompany aproject of this size. With the equipment and space secured, the facility became a reality. Located on the second floor of Craven Hall, the Center for Decision Making appears very similar to corporate board rooms; however, this room includes the addition of computers. The computers are recessed into the table providing a sleek, modern, unobtrusive look. However, it is the software known as G roup S upport S ystem, o r "groupware" that integrates the computers and makes this center different from typical conference rooms. Groupware allows individuals or groups to work together forming decisions. Viewing the same information, members can make comments or suggestions anonymously to the entire group. After suggestions and comments have been entered, the groupware can easily arrange the data and help the members form a consensus. Companies have discovered this new technology has advantages. Jessup noted, "One of the reasons this has become so popular is being able to do things anonymously. Businesses have found they get a lot more candid free-flowing exchange of ideas and opinions when they use this software, as opposed to the traditional face-to-face meeting environment." While this software facilitates group meetings at CSUSM, it also expands o ther o ptions. Members meeting at CSUSM can include groups in other geographical locations. The software links groups from several different businesses or universities, and allow them to form collaborative decisions. Jessup also explained that meetings do not need to occur at the same time but could occur over the course of several weeks. A meeting could be initiated, and members could respond at their convenience. Decisions could be made at a later date based on the received input. A lthough the g roupware helps groups hold effective meetings, there is the potential to depend too heavily on technology. Business conferences could become too impersonal. Jessup explained that meeting facilitators play an important role in this type of center. Facilitators ensure that groups alternate between software and f ace-to-face interaction to achieve effective results. Besides understanding group dynamics, the facilitator must know how to use the group support system software. A great deal of the success of this computer center at CSUSM will depend on the skills of the meeting facilitator. While the center at CSUSM can help groups meet effectively, it can also provide other functions. Jessup explained that the Center can be used for research. Experiments and studies will occur to observe how groups and individuals behave when they use this type Bernie Hinton and Len J essup, the masterminds behind the Center for Decision Making of technology. The findings can then be used to develop software, and help companies implement this type of facility and software into their own businesses. The Center will also be used as a teaching tool. Jessup stated, "We plan to really integrate this within our business courses and within other courses at the campus." The creation of this center has already been a learning experience f or s tudents at C SUSM. T he groupware technology has already been running in the student computer labs, and Jessup has instructed courses in operating this software. During these classes, students have developed marketing projects for this type of center, trained as meeting facilitators for running group sessions, and helped do coding and programming using this innovative software. Jessup noted that the students have contributed substantially to the Center's development. Design of the C enter's tables and chairs has included the students' involvement. The quality of the Center will encourage businesses to use this facility, thereby providing additional revenue for the university. While businesses will be able to reap benefits from holding effective meetings, students will also have the ability to learn and experience the latest technology of the business world. �Earth Club Plans for Earth Days '94 Roy Latas I^SfiWtT DESIGN : environmental groups and vendors of ecologically oriented items.

Aguilar Contributing Writer A volunteer is someone who enters a service out of his/her free will. On November 16, 1967, Bertha Walker became an important volunteer when she joined the United States Marine Corps. Impressed by the confidence of the Marine officers at the enlisting office, Bertha decided to join the Marine Corps, and at the age of 18, she left her hometown of Pittsview, Alabama to serve in Okinawa, Japan, and Hawaii. The initiative which Bertha demonstrated as an 18-year-old further developed in the military as her leadership roles provided her with various responsibilities. Working as the Combined Federal Campaign Coordinator for her unit, she coordinated the collection of charitable contributions, served as a liaison between a Marine and the base, and worked with the Financial O ffice to resolve pay problems. While fulfilling her military duties, Bertha continued to pursue her educational goals. Majoring in history and minoring in religion, she received her Associates of General Studies Degree from Chaminade University in Honolulu, Hawaii. After 23 years of active duty, Bertha retired as a First Sergeant. She sought to complete her education at California State University, San Marcos where she also wanted to get involved in extracurricular activities. Since spring 1992, Bertha has been a member of the Pan-African Student Alliance, and she has been a member and past director of the History Club. Last spring, Bertha assisted in Student Affirmative Action's Student Leadership Conference. Then, in the fall semester, she served as the stage manager for the African-American students and Pan-Af- rican Student Alliance's production of the play, "For Colored Girls Who have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf." Bertha Walker's initiative and leadership continue to guide her actions within her community. "I feel that the AfricanAmerican student should be more visible on campus, and I feel that CSUSM should be visible in the community." "My participation in Volunteer Day is my way of practicing what I preach." As the Logistics Chairperson f or Volunteer Day on February 26, Bertha has been extremely visible throughout the preparatory stages of the event recruiting other volunteers and overseeing security, setting up, parking, registration, greeters/ hosts, and tours. As she tries to make sure the participating youth and volunteers experience a smooth day at CSUSM, Bertha Walker will continue to maintain high visibility. �In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place. — Gandhi Illegal Immigration is not the Problem By Thomas Lee Huntington Staff Writer Last semester, the Political Science Association sponsored a NAFTA debate. It was a well-organized, i nformative'affair, bringing together a labor representative, an economist, an environmentalist and a representative from the San Diego Chamber of Commerce to discuss the virutes or flaws of the hotly debated trade agreement. The participants all gave prepared statements and the floor was then opened up for questions from the audience. A man sitting next to me was the first to shoot up his hand, and it was immediately clear from his body language that he felt very strongly about, well, something. "How can we enter into a trade agreement," he began, his voice shaking, "with a country that doesn't respect the sovereignty of our border!" His voice rose dramatically at the last statement. He had come armed with statistics, pseudo-facts, and anger to spare; his tirade was just getting started. The moderator and the other presenters attempted to steer the debate back towards real trade issues, but this spectator's single-minded determination was unsinkable. Every question became an indictment of California's immigration policy, and passion quickly displaced logic. The debate ended on a precarious note with tempers still flaring. NAFTA is now history, but the fear and ignorance surrounding the immigration debate in this state has grown. Legislators and "concerned" citizens like the gentleman that graced our campus that fine day continue to propagate the principle that illegal immigration from Mexico is somehow at the root of all our social, cultural and economic problems. We need to beef up the police presence at the border, cut off all government aid to illegal immigrants, even build a wall if necessary. Anything and everything, some immigration "experts" would have us believe, must be done to stop the tidal wave of thieves and freeloaders currently assaulting the shores of our great country. The problems with this kind of thinking are too numerous to mention here. Suffice it to say the immigration debate has been blown out of proportion by a group of selfrighteous policital activiists who are motivated by fear and racism, that this is just another example of politicians who are afraid to address real, substantive issues for fear of offending aportion of the voting public jumping on the immigration bandwagon. Illegal immigration is not threatening the fabric of our society. This is a country that was made great by the hard work and dedication of immigrants from all over the world who were attempting to escape the same kinds of conditions that the Mexicans who cross our border are escaping. Western European immigrants, anyway, have entered into the American folklore as tireless hard workers who helped shape the American dream. Chinese, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Mexican immigrants have always suffered the slings and arrows of a society that saw them as lazy and worthless. The current immigration furor is no exception. Despite the fact that the vast majority of illegal immigrants that come to this country are tireless, dedicated workers who actually contribute a great deal to our ailing economy, we are encouraged to see them as the problem. They are potential scapegoats for everything, and certain legislators would have us believe that all our problems could be solved by simply keeping them out. On the contrary, we could learn a thing or two by observing and emulating these hard-working, s elf-sufficient, industrious people that embody the ideals of rugged individualism and self-reliance that Americans once held dear. The problems in California (and there are many) are due to Californians and can be solved only by Californians. Mexico is a convenient scapegoat, but, alas, a false one. "Good fences make good neighbors," a well-meaning farmer repeats in RobertFrost's poem The Mending Wall. Like the farmer, we have taken that phrase to heart despite its obvious irrelevance. By strengthening the fence, we believe we can somehow make our own crops grow faster and stronger.

The variety of events that have occurred have featured informative lectures, films, and various types of musical formats. Black History Month initially began in the early 1900's under its founder, Carter G. Woodson. Woodson, an African-American historian, first initiated Negro History Week, which became Negro History Month, and is now recognized as Black History Month. Dr. Thompson, a political science professor explained that Woodson's purpose was to elevate the status and self-esteem of AfricanAmericans. He stated that Black History Month was also "toeducate and expose dominant groups, particularly whites, to the rich history, rich culture of African-Americans." During that period of history, Africn Americans were "subordinated in terms of culture, status, economy and equality." White culture rationalized their oppression of black Americans by claming the inferiority of their race. The revelation of African-Americans' rich culture and heritage would dispute this myth and could establish the legitimacy of African-American equality. Thompson explained that the activities scheduled for Black History Month complement the mission statement of the university. CSUSM's mission statement promotes an appreciation for, and study of, diversity in American society. The events were meant to provide an understanding and appreciation for African-American culture. Students interviewed in Dr. Jill Watts' History 335 class, which studies AfricanAmerican history, discussed their opinions about the events offered on campus. One student offered, "The events we have here on campus and in the community help to dispel stereotypes." Another student explained that these events "bring together and disband some barriers between cultures when we have Black History Month or other cultural awareness months." However, not all of the students agreed that the events really promoted understanding between cultures. One student felt that many people regarded Black History Month activities only as entertainment events. The student explained that often the majority of the audience attending black performances are white. She said, " They've always come out to see us perform. That h asn't changed with Black History Month or any other kind of month. The problem is, do they really get something out of it? Are we really giving them what they need to be more educated." While the students questioned whether Black History Month events should focus more on education rather than entertainment, one student explained that personal perspective on these events will probably cause differences of opinion. She explained, " It's a little b it of everything encompassed—education, entertainment. It means something different to everybody. Certainly to me being black is going to be somewhat deeper f or me, more of a pride month." David McKenzie, president of the PanAfrican Student Alliance, commented that the goals of his c lub's involvement with Black History Month have been primarily focused on education. Working with other associations on campus, this club has offered a series of lectures and films that have included professional staff to handle discussions and questions that arise following the lecture or film. McKenzie stressed the importance of education in the activities that promote Black History Month. "Education helps people understand that there is still a long way to go. There is still basically inequality between African-Americans and the rest of the dominant culture." McKenzie concluded that, "Black History Month was started because there was a failure of our education system to have the history of Black Americans or people of color, in traditional U.S. histoiy books. I would like to see us get to a point where we d on'tneedtodo this. Where it (black history) is included in the history with the general population and t here's no need to pick one month out of the year to say 'O.K. this is what w e've done in h istory'." David McKenzie, President of the PanAfrican Student Alliance Left to right: Betty Knoff, President of Friends of the Library, Bridget Bailey-Meier, I Director of Student Activities, and Ann Williams, Board Member of Friends of the Library. Friends of the Library, a community volunteer group, sponsored Bridget's informative talk on medicine and healthcare in the African-American community The Pan African Student Alliance is a student organization founded last year. The club was started by students from Africa, the United States and Caribbean nations.* The Pan African Student Alliance also incorporates n on-African-American m embers. Anyone who has an interest in AfricanAmerican history or progress is welcome to join the club. Club members keep abreast about issues that concern African-Americans at the local, national and international level. Club president, David McKenzie, also explained that since San Diego's North County lacks areas of concentration of African-Americans, the club serves a social function that allows people to get together. Club members also participate in the community by mentoring students of color in junior high school, and high school to help these students prepare for the transition to college. The Alliance has also been very active this month with the events that have occurred in honor of Black History Month.

AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION MEMORIALS & TRIBUTES 1-800- AHA-USA1 American Heart Association This space provided a s a public service. ©1993, American Heart Association �Generation X gets a Bite of Reality Thomas Lee Huntington Staff Writer Reality Bites is a smart, funny, insightful comedy about a group of friends who have no idea what to do with their lives after graduating from college. To label the film, as many critics have, a "Generation X " movie is to marginalize it, to insinuate that the filmmakers were only attempting to j ump on the media bandwagon by throwing in as much flannel, cappucino and slacker angst as possible. Indeed, all these elements are present in Reality Bites, but they are present because the movie is an honest account of life in the 9 0's, not because they are demographically pleasing to any particular focus group. The film transcends trend to speak to larger issues about alienation and the search for love in a meaningless world (issues that are surely not specific to twentynothings) and, judged by that criteria, Reality Bites manages to fall somewhere in between the comic and creative brilliance of The Graduate and the crass, cliched commercialism of St. Elmo's Fire. Far and away the f ilm's best feature is the funny, literate script by 23-year old Helen Childress. The dialogue is wellstructured, witty and true; full of throwaway references to everything from Hamlet to Three's Company but not the least bit condescending towards the audience. Childress captures the way that people talk to each other when they're not sure what they really mean, cloaking insecurity in sarcasm and hip bravado. The characters are fullbodied, complex and dimensional; they consistently surprise the audience and each other. Credit is also due the stellar cast, particularly Ethan Hawke and Janeane Garofalo. Hawke plays the resident cynic Troy, an out of work, out of energy philosophy major who threatens to turn any environment he enters into a "den of slack." Hawke is marvelously appealing; he manages to exude viciousness, vulnerability, intelligence and guilt without ever seeming artificial. Ditto Garofalo, who brings great comic energy and skill to her role. Winona Ryder is charming in the read role as a highly creative, intelligent college valedictorian who c an't get hired at Wienerschnitzel. There is an an obvious mutual attraction between Ryder and Hawke, and their avoidance and verbal sparring seem very realistic. These actors are a perfect match for the smart script, and in the early scenes when they are allowed to explore their characters without the strain of artificially imposed situations, the film is at its best. As the film progresses, though, a romantic triangle develops between Ryder, Hawke, and a well-meaning yuppie played by Ben Stiller (who also directs). Stiller is a highly skilled comical actor, and he manages to do extremely well with an endearingly inarticulate character that could easily have been turned into a stereotype. But the last 20 minutes of the film buy into conventional romantic movie sentiment, and in so doing loses the character-driven charm of the m ovie's first half. Reality Bites is at its best when it allows itself to be about nothing. It is a rare delight to see intelligent, imperfect humans struggling with the mysteries of life and each other. This film speaks to the concerns of its audience without trivializing them, and for that it should be treasured. P remieres March 5th TM iM From the animators of The Simpsons.

Presidential Youth Service Awards Know of any young people volunteering in the community? There are thousands of youths who donate their time and e ffort to make North County abetterplaceandCSUSM is seeking nominations for the President's Youth Service Awards to recognize their efforts. The President's Youth Service Awards were created by the White House O ffice of National Service and the Corporation of National and Community Service. Because of CSUSM's commitment to community service, the university was authorized to assist in identifying those young people whose volunteer efforts are a model for all. Each year CSUSM honors young people, ages 5-22, with the President's Awards or the National Award to recognize meaningful service to the community. To allow young people with different skill levels to compete fairly, the awards are presented in four age categories, 5 -8 years, 9 13 years, 14-17 years, and 18-22 years. The awards are given f or individual achievement, however, individuals who per- form community service as part of a group are eligible. The awards are designed to recognize voluntary, non-paid, community service and to r ecognize h ands-on s ervice; all fundraising activities are excluded from consideration. This year, the awards will recognize youths who show leadership in projects that focus on helping others to learn. We also understand that community service extends past the age of 22. Therefore, we are including CSUSM students in this recognition. Criteria are: exemplary achievement, ongoing involvement, community need, and building a service ethic. To be eligible, nominees must be North County residents, but they need not be U.S. citizens. Nominations are being accepted through Feb. 28. Your participation can help us to applaud the community work of our students. All nominees will be honored in arecognitiori ceremony at the university to be held Apr. 19, 6:30-8 PM.

Not exactly. Susan Brown is too busy overseeing a binding project or making sure direct mail brochures get out on time. Brown runs the Duplication Services Department at CSUSM. You may have seen her when y ou've stopped by Science Hall 209 to feed nickels into the self-serve copier when the copier in the Libraiy was tied up and you wanted to save five cents per page. The Duplication Services Department is a full-service operation designed to meet the needs of CSUSM faculty and staff (and when there is time, students). Students sometimes lose their patience at the self-serve copier while listening to the Duplications Services copiers complete 500page documents while they are still manually lifting the lid in between each of their 25 pages of class notes. Susan Brown feels the students' pain. Her staff is instructed to help students whenever time permits. They will help create transparencies for class presentations and fasten business presentations in a thermal tape or spiral binding. One of the main reasons Duplication Services c an't meet all students' needs is time, Brown says. Students generally need their copies right away. The Duplication Department has a 48-hour turn-around policy designed to account f or equipment failure and staffing. Despite the 48 hour policy, if you need a transparency, the department can generally finish it while you wait. Next time y ou're in the neighborhood have the time, stop by and say hello to Susan and her hard-working staff. Catching Susan in the act of another busy day in Duplication Services.

It seemed like an old friend to him, a phrase he once knew well, but hadn't heard in a very long time. I'll never forget the look on his face as he said "Yeah, you toot" and walked through the park with his bag of goodies once reserved for those you paid the entry fee. As I headed back toward the finish line and the bus stop, I passed another man standing at the front of the park with his bag of cans in his hand and a wistful, longing look in his eyes. He didn't say anything to anyone, and no one said anything to him. I walked past him about 50 feet, but couldn't get the look on his face out of my mind. I turned to go back, but as I watched him stare blankly into the crowd, I realized I had nothing left to give him. There was nothing more I could do today. I turned, sick with the knowledge that I had been there for an hour and I was the only one who seemed to notice or care about these men. If there was nothing more I could do today, it seemed more than likely that nothing else would be done. I wiped my tears from my eyes as I boarded the bus for my ride back to the Horton Plaza parking garage and my sheltered middle class life. I was lucky, I was going home, where I didn' t have to remember the people I had seen. But I'll always remember that some people didn't go home that day—they had no home to go to.

For several years, the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) and the State of California have made financial aid available through a program called the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The deadline for applying for student aid for the 2003/2004 academic year is March 3. Anyone with a high school diploma or General Education Development (GED) certificate is eligible to apply for needbased student aid. The DOE web site lists all the documents that an applicant must submit as part of the process, including a social security number, a driver's license (if any), tax returns, and bank statements.

By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos has its own police department, which patrols the campus and has concurrent jurisdiction with the San Marcos Police Department within a one-mile perimeter around the campus. Their patrolling services are 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and have been in the service of CSUSM for approximately 10 years. For more information about financial aid and scholarships that are available through CSUSM, visit their web site at http://www.csusm.edu/finaid.

However, many CSUSM students do not know about the existence of this department. Such is the case of Miranda Romero.

The SFAC argues that their proposal for smaller fee increases, over a longer period of time, will minimize the economic strain placed on students, To receive funding from IRA in a period already plagued by fees, organizations must undergo inflated student fees. an annual proposal process.

The CSUSM women's golf team opened their spring season by finishing in 12th place with a score of 670 (334-336) in the Lady Aztec Spring Invitational, hosted by San Diego State University. The two-day tournament, which started on February 17,2003 at the Lake San Marcos Country Club, consisted of 15 teams competing on the on the 5, 885 yard par 72 course. On the final day, Seguro moved up from the first round to finish in 39th with a second round total of 164 (85-79). Thys finished 50th with a score of 167 (83-84), Shaft shot 169 (84-85) to finish 55th, while Goss placed 63rd with 172 (84-88), and Tunzi shot 176 (83-93) to finish 72nd. This particular tournament was held in a "shotgun" format. Instead of having different tee times to begin their game, these golfers were assigned different holes to start at, enabling the competing teams to begin swinging simultaneously at the signal of an actual shotgun. After the opening day of the tournament, the lady Cougar golfers placed 13th with junior Erin Thys leading the way with a score of 83 a (43-40), senior Jennifer Tunzi equaled her teammate's score of 83 (41-42). Creeping close-behind was sophomore Stephanie Goss who shot 84 (42-42) along with senior Robin Shaft's 84 (41-43). Merely two strokes behind her was junior Stephanie Seguro, who shot a score of 85 (43-42). When commenting on the challenges of the course, Seguro explained, "Lake San Marcos [Country Club] is a very difficult course in many ways. The greens for the tournament were very unforgiving and the pin placements were very difficult, as for the overall conditions it was very wet and mushy out there due to the rain, so many times the girls and I had to get relief from wet muddy places." She explained that in order to find relief, "you have to find the nearest point where you can drop your ball in a dry area that is no closer to the hole. You have to make sure with your group whether it is an okay spot. Also, you can use the rule called Photo by M ary S chiefelbein / The When asked how he felt about how the team did in the Aztec Invite, head coach Fred Hanover commented, "The team did okay but each of the 5 who played is capable of doing great things on the golf course." When inquiring about requirements for the team to make Nationals, Hanover explained that our women's golf needs to be in the top 25 in golf stat rankings in order to qualify for Nationals. Though it was University of Kansas who placed first on the first day of the tournament, Texas Tech pulled ahead with a top team score of 609 (307-302) pushing University of Kansas to second place with a finishing of 613 (304-302). In third place was a two-way tie between host SDSU finishing at 620 (305-315) and Cal State Northridge shooting 620 (310-310). Finishing in fifth was Colorado State University with 622 (311-311). Thys commented on her goals for season. "My personal goals for the season are to attend every tournament. I am focused on keeping my game as steady as it has been and was at the Aztec Invite...looking at what I would like to see happen for the team, I know we can place in the top three at nationals in Florida, and I want us all to focus on that. We have a strong team, as well as two great girls who are about to graduate, and who I know would love to see us go out with a huge boom." The next tournament for the women's golf team will be a two-day event hosted by Cal State San Marcos at the San Luis Rey Downs Golf Club through March 3rd and 4th.

Scheduled to be completed by the end of this summer, the facility is the brainchild of ASI, along with many other intimate partners. According to the campus website, its purpose is to serve "as the center of the campus community, by developing and maintaining facilities which enhance the quality of campus life, and [by supporting] the educational mission of the University through social, recreational, cultural and educational programs." It will also be the base camp for the future physical education program. Conception of Gordon's achievements in the past," Helene donated what would be the largest single donation from a living person in CSUSM's, at that point, 10-year history, totaling $1.2 million. "Athletics was Gordon's life in so many ways," Helene reminisced in an interview with Coast News, "The field house is a fine way to honor him and to help so many young adults." In addition to the $1.2 million donation, Helene's endowment was instrumental in obtaining a matching grant from the Kresge Foundation. With just under a third of the estimated $7.1 million cost accounted for, CSUSM students voted in October 1998 to increase student union fees for full-time and part-time students to $50 each semester, in order to raise additional support for the field house. The plan is to raise approximately $4.7 million over the next four to five years. The rest of the money has come from private donations, approximately $2.5 million at last count, according to Arlene Ruiz, assistant to the vice president of External Affairs.

Although the creation of the field house included the input of many, the deceased Mr. and Mrs. Helene Clarke provided most of the financial backing for the project. Clarke's husband Gordon, who died in 1968, had the opportunity to pursue a professional baseball career after an extremely successful college stint at the University of Oklahoma. Instead, Mr. Clarke took an executive position with the Hughes Tool Co., based in Dallas, Texas, but he never lost his love and enthusiasm for sports. After her husband's death, Mrs. Clarke came to live in Oceanside, where she lived independently until she was disabled by an injury and a bout with cancer that would prove fatal on Dec. 4,2000. 900-person capacity, however, is not set in stone.

De izquierda a d erecha, S in Fin, el Papa Felipe y J uana S ánchez a ctuando en Nuevo C alifornia. F otografía d e R andy R ovang. Por MARTHA SARABIA Editora Principal Pocas son las personas que se imaginan las ciudades de San Diego y Tijuana juntas, unidas formando una sola ciudad, sin una cerca metálica ni diferencias ideológicas dividiéndolas. Sin embargo, la imaginación del colombiano Bernardo Solano y de Alian Havis es tan futurística y progresista que este sueño se convierte en una realidad en Nuevo California. Esta obra dirigida por Sam Woodhouse, se sitúa en el año de 2008 en el cual un gran terremoto destruye la ciudad de Los Ángeles y las ciudades fronterizas de San Diego y Tijuana pronto serán unidas. No obstante, la obra demuestra que más que una cerca inquebrantable separando estas dos ciudades, existen muchos prejuicios entre unos y otros. Estos mismos prejuicios y estereotipos son los que no permiten que los habitantes se den cuenta que entre los dos países hay más similitudes que diferencias. Vega, Mark Christopher Lawrence, Steve Lipinsky, Catalina Maynard, Gino Montesinos, Raquel Presa y Sylvia M'lafi Thompson son los actores que conforman esta obra. Este grupo actoral de San Diego y Tijuana representa la gran variedad y diversidad de las comunidades que viven en esta región fronteriza donde no solamente hay mexicanos y norteamericanos sino también asiáticos, afroamericanos e indios americanos añadiéndole así una realidad muy esencial a la historia. Algunos de los personajes en la obra dramática musical son Sin Fin, la cual habla un idioma futurístico donde el spanglish y la rima son elementos importantes, el Papa Felipe que trata de unir a las dos ciudades, y a Juana Sánchez que al igual que Maggie Flackett se niega a acabar con los prejuicios contra los americanos y mexicanos respectivamente. Para la realización de esta gran e interesante obra, hubo una investigación de tres años Dora Arreóla, John Campion, donde se les preguntó a alredJennifer Chu, Fernando Flores edor de 200 personas de ambos Sociopolitical Indoctrination In the Classroom?

Los entrevistados incluyeron políticos, periodistas, amas de casa, adolescentes y peatones entre otros más lo cual permitió que la producción no solamente tuviera una variedad de opiniones sino que también una perspectiva más representativa. Nuevo California, actuado mayormente en inglés pero con algunas palabras en español y spanglish, se estará presentando hasta el 3 de marzo en el Lyceum Theatre del San Diego Repertory Theatre. La obra además de ser interesante posee un gran despliegue de talento y expone temas que muy pocos se han atrevido a explorar como lo es el derrumbe del cerco fronterizo y el prejuicio entre los dos países. Las personas interesadas en mirar esta obra tendrán que apurarse para obtener sus boletos y visitar www.sandiegorep.com o llamar al (619) 544-1000 para mayor información sobre los horarios y boletos disponibles ya que esta será su última semana de presentaciones en San Diego.

By ERIK ROPER Pride Staff Writer Last Monday, February 17, at 7pm in ARTS 240, Cal State San Marcos community members came to hear Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton and her biographer, Joan Lester, speak about the life and times of Norton. Their visit to Cal State San Marcos was scheduled as part of a multi-campus tour throughout the US. The tour is meant to promote the recently completed biography by Lester of Norton's life and times, Fire In My Soul The book came out about a month ago and is already in its second printing. Unfortunately, due to an historic blizzard that was swirling about the east coast at that time last week, Norton was not able to attend since all flights in her area had been grounded. As ASI President Jocelyn Brown welcomed those in attendance and gave them the standard, "We've got good news and bad news..." line, an audible sigh could be heard from the crowd of approximately fifty people. But even the bad news was not as bad as it could have been, because shortly after Brown's introductory remarks, audience members were treated to the disembodied voice of Norton piped in via speaker phone. Norton apologized profusely for not being able to attend, adding that, "I've been snowed out of California - and the loss is all mine." Fortunately though, her biographer, Lester, was able to attend and speak very eloquently about the extraordinary life of Norton. Lester began her remarks by speaking about how she had known Norton for many years and that when shefirstdecided to write a biography about a strong and accomplished woman Norton was not the first woman who came to mind. But one day while lunching together in DC, Lester floated the idea of writing Norton's biography and Norton instantly liked the idea. Lester said Norton told her, "Girl, come on down to Washington and let's get to work!" So approximately four years ago Lester started working with iNorton, ".. .one chapter at a time." She described the former civil rights activist and currently tenured law professor at Georgetown University as a challenging subject, "in a number of ways. She's very argumentative, which is quintessential Eleanor. She's so quick, so fast, so forthright and her mind is so broad. When working with her I often felt like my mind was still stuck in the sixties - she brought me into the twentyfirst century." In the spirit of modernity, those in attendance were treated to more virtual Norton as she appeared larger than life on the ARTS 240 video screen. The video was a recording, from a C-SPAN2 taping of a book tour stop, which Norton and Lester had made at Howard University. On the video screen, viewers were treated to Norton's views on a number of topics such See FIRE IN HER SOUL, page 7 Customer Service Representatives Take incoming calls and assist our policy holders by providing expert insurance advice. $2000 sign on bonus for CA Resident P&C License Professional Sales Agent Take incoming calls and sell auto insurance to customers who contact GEICO for insurance quotes. $2000 sign on bonus for CA Resident P&C license Claims Service Representatives Work with customers who need to report a claim for a accident they have been involved in.

By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer Since the end of WWII, one of the most consister^ and generous benefactors of international drug traffickers has been the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Beginning with the defeat of the Nationalist Chinese by Mao Tse Tung's communists' in 1949, trade in opium and heroin played a major role in financing the CIA's efforts to fight the menace of communism. Nationalist forces driven out of southern China into northern Burma in 1949 sought to regroup and rearm for an invasion of the now communist controlled China. These nationalist forces were trained, and their subsequent incursion into communist China was largely planned by the CIA. Nationalist forces financed the operation almost entirely through the cultivation and sale of opium that was in turn refined into heroin for sale in the United States and other western nations. Nationalist forces invaded China from their Burmese sanctuaries in 1952 and were defeated and repelled by the communists. In 1961, military operations by the Burmese army and Chinese communists largely eliminated the Nationalists forces in northern Burma as a viablefightingforce; however, the opium syndicate established by the nationalist mercenaries remains to this day. Prior to 1949, northern Burma and Thailand produced very little opium. Today, thanks in great part to the activities of the CIA, this area is the largest opiumproducing region in the world. In Burma the CIA was ^largely guilty of a sin of omission. They simply turned a blind eye to the activities of their nationalist allies. Later, In Laos, the CIA participated in the narcotics trade in a more direct and deliberate fashion. Like Burma, prior to the end of WWII, Laos produced little opium. Beginning in the 1950s the CIA began to récruit Hmong tribesman, a Laotian ethnic subgroup, to fight against the communist Pathet Lao and North Vietnamese. The Hmong had long grown opium for local drug traffickers and with the CIA's encouragement they began growing it in ever-larger quantities in order to subsidize an increasingly bloody war against the communists. In this case, CIA aircraft actually transported raw opium from rural mountain areas in northern Laos to heroin labs in Laotian cities. The resultant heroin found its way onto American streets and to American servicemen in Vietnam. The CIA was not directly involved in moving the processed heroin, but they were well aware of where it was going. In fact, South Vietnamese vice-president Nguyen Cao Ky was personally involved in importing heroin from Laos to South Vietnam. These are not thé paranoid assertions of a disturbed conspiracy theorist. Historian Alfred McCoy meticulously documented all of these facts in his book "The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia." A corporate lawyer at the publishing firm Harper & Row called upon McCoy to justify every sentence in his book. The CIA actually obtained a copy and tried to have certain passages expurgated. In the aftermath of 9/11/01 many have called for an easing of restrictions on the CIA's conduct in order increase the intelligence agencies' effectiveness in combating international terrorism. These calls come in spite of the fact that the CIA in its unrestricted cold war incarnation played a major role in furthering international drug traffic while largely failing to stop communism in Southeast Asia. One is led to uneasy speculation as to what will be the nature of the next plague this "intelligence" agency will visit upon us during an unrestricted war on international terrorism. �About CSUSM Disabled Parking Dear Editors: I am both a disabled person (registered with the Disabled Students Office) and a Disabled Veteran (60% service connected disabilities). Per V.C. 22511.5, using my placard properly displayed and my student parking permit properly displayed, I am allowed to park, pursuant to the California public policy stated in VC 22511.5(a)(1), et seq., in any zone restricted for time or otherwise restricted per 21458(a)(5) or 22507 and any zone restricted by local ordinance. VC 21113 allows California State University (i.e., the Board of Regents, not local San Marcos parking authority) to enact regulations to establish rules regarding parking. However, the law of this state does NOT allow CSU to FURTHER restrict the parking rights of disabled persons and veterans. In fact, California public policy specifically states that disabled parking MUST be provided in locations NEAREST entrances and exits. When I started this semester, CSU placed 5 green signs in 5 otherwise unmarked parking slots just south of the dome and the signs state CSUSM, Special Medical Permit SOLE Vehicle Code section that specifically allows CSU (Board of Regents - not local Required. parking service employees or administration) The signs DO NOT state the spaces are to further restrict parking applies to skatereserved for CSUSM employees or faculty. boarding, cycles, etc. The ONLY Special Medical Permit permitted Case law has confirmed that persons recognition by State law is the disabled perwith a valid disabled persons placard MAY sons and disabled veterans disabled placard.

It's just to bad your position is based on little more than emotions and naivety, rather than logic and fact. The reality of the coming war is simple: Saddam has left us no other option but to use force. And it amazes me that so many people like you (in the ostrich brigade), continue to have your heads in the sand. Since the Gulf War, Saddam Hussein has broken every treaty, UN resolu- tion, and term of surrender that he agreed to. He's also tried to shoot down and KILL our pilots who patrol the no-fly zones over 700 times. In addition, he has-at some point-used every weapon in his arsenal including chemical weapons. In Bush's last speech, he listed a number of chemical and biological weapons he has yet to get rid of. We also know that he has brought in scientists to build nuclear warheads, which he would love to use against our allies, or us, or sell them to a terrorist group that would C LASSIFIEDS TUTOR/TEACHER (MA98) Specializing in tutoring ESL students in advanced language skills, vocabulary, research, reports, projects, presentations, test prep, etc. Free consultation.

And it would only be a matter of time before he did get nukes if people like you were in charge, who would probably try to play the appeasement/ negotiation game (which NEVER works with lawless dictators). You have got to realize that there are evil people in this world who only listen to one thing: The language of force. Do you think the British would have just got up and left back in 1776 without being forced out? Did Hitler listen to peace talks Mr. Martin? Do you really think 100 UN weapons inspectors in a country the size of California are enough disarm this guy? That is ridiculous! You also wasted a lot of paper spilling your guts about how much pity you feel for all the innocent people who may die. Well guess what; I can tell as a former US Army soldier that we go out of our way — more than any other country on Earth-to avoid killing innocent people. The reason people do get killed is because our third-world enemies usually hide among civilians and use them as shields, hoping we won't come after them. In addition, a lot more innocent people are will die as a result of Saddam's quest for nukes if we don't get rid of him. Listen, nobody likes war. Not even the toughest Army Rangers and Navy Seals enjoy getting shot at. But sometimes you do have to fight for peace in order to protect your way of life, and that is a reality you need to realize. So when the removal of Saddam begins, are you going to support our troops like the many Americans that rallied behind our sailors and Marines last Weekend? I hope you and every anti-war protester will think about this: the cost of freedom. Guess what, freedom is not free. If you doubt that, go ask a WW2 veteran. Freedom has a price Mr. Martin. It costs a lot more than your bleeding heart is willing to realize. Brian Dobbins Senior, Communication R esponse t o c omment o n " State o f t he C ampus A d d r e s s " I would like to respond to Robert Williams' comments in the article dated 2/11/03 "State of the Campus Address." In this article he states! "this semester there is ample parking, even during the busiest times." I was incredulous when I read this. Obviously, Mr. Williams hasn't spent hours driving around the various parking lots looking for a parking place. Nor, has he been 'stalked' by students wanting a parking space. I applauded the curb-parking put in place last semester, and although there was a "tight crunch" for parking last semester, it appears just as bad, if not worse this semester! Williams? Although I don't agree with increased parking fees I do understand the need. But, I do feel as though I've been slapped in the face when the parking fees have increased dramatically, yet finding parking when you need it is very dismal. Personally, I had planned on arriving to school this semester in time for my 11: 30 a.m. classes. I have had to rearrange my schedule to arrive at school by 8:30 a.m. in order to obtain a parking space without having to drive around forever! Please tell me where this "ample" parking is, especially during the busiest hours. Thank you, So what risks outweigh the Louise J. Tweed benefits for curb parking Mr. Junior, Liberal Studies Response: Is There Liberal Bias at Cal State San Marcos? Regarding, Jamal Scarlett's Feb.18 article, I find it amusing how anyone would question liberal bias from an educational perspective when conservative ideologies have been constantly shoved down our throats from the time of infancy. In order for this society to succeed with its capitalistic, elite way of thought, the conservatives would like to have America believe their standards, including correct "moral" thinking, religious beliefs and systems of oppression, should be mainstream thought. In a time where inequalities are more prevalent than ever, to cry conservative is to condone suppression, stray from an egalitarian model and keep society at status quo. Sean Mattingly asks, "(why are we) fooling students into thinking that in order to be a 'free thinker' that they must be indoctrinated by liberalism?" The answer is that we're not. By providing students with the opportunity to explore creatively and utilize what C. Wright Mills called a "sociological imagination," educational institutions are simply suggesting that society explore other ways of thinking. Liberalism implies that we do not have to conform to conservative ways of thought and potentially risk appearing as mechanical, docile, assembly line like robots. We do not have to accept everything the media feeds us at face value or submit to authoritarian hierarchies. Furthermore, if the push for liberalism is becoming an issue through so-called "indoctrination" via faculty then I applaud their misconstrued achievements at "brain-washing" conservatives into more liberal ways of thinking. Obviously, advocating progressive reformation is not biased, only the deconstruction of the biased realities that already exist within our society.

Kovacs further indicated that, during the party, students were encouraged to take anon­ ymous Polaroid photographs of Apartments Under Construction Pride Photo/James Newell See page 2for complete story... their genitalia so that the picture could be used later in a game of matching the photo with the party-goer. The party was not manda­ tory, according to Kovacs, who said, “It was just a fun, harm­ less get-together.” The party was suggested as a means to introduce students from various sections of the course to one another.

The program, which is funded by the Depart­ ment of Education, is designed to prepare low-income and first gen­ eration college-bound students for university coursework. The ultimate goal of Upward Bound is to “encourage and moti­ vate students to stay in school” and “to prepare them for post­ secondary education,” said Lim Kaiser, academic advisor for Upward Bound. The courses offer assistance in several areas, including academic and personal enrich- Upward Bound student stops and poses for the camera. Pride Photo/Jessica Krone ment classes in math, writ­ ing, literature^ science and SAT preparation. Many cul­ tural, multicultural, recreational and amusement activities are offered as well. Students are required to visit various university cam­ puses and attend a four-week summer session at San Diego State University in order to simulate the college experi­ ence. Kaiser said the program is geared for college success and is designed for students not just to “enter college, but finish.” Student progress is mon­ itored throughout the aca­ demic year. Upward Bound also offers advising for col­ lege and financial aid appli­ cations. Although the courses do not provide any college units, extra credit is applied toward each participant’s high-school stud­ ies. Since the classes are very comprehensive, Upward Bound plans to remain relatively small, serving only 50 students. In reference to the program’s rel­ atively small gatherings, litera­ ture instructor Andrew Phillips explained, “smaller class sizes generally equate to more benefi­ cial results for the students. This program provides a very positive atmosphere for students, parents and definitely faculty ” Tutoring i& mandatory and available at participating schools and at the Upward Bound office (located across the main campus).

They addressed issues of promiscuous sex, religious beliefs, masturbation, pornography, and stereotypes, which provoked students, many of whom responded to Smock’s message. According to a pamphlet, which was circulated during the session, Smock perceives sorority members as “whores” and fraternity members as “whoremongers.” The pamphlet also stated that he condemns all kinds of sins that he believes college students are axnmitiq^ecifically sex and drinking, As the discussion progressed, Smock stated that s t u de n t s are only attending CSUSM because they can’t make » > A r ticle cont. on page 2 Students gather in thefree speech area on Founders Plaza to listen to evangelists on Thursday.

Although some students agreed with the flamboyant style and rather negative methods of free speech demonstrated by the Smock Family, others ignored them or saw it as an excuse to ridicule the family for their beliefs. Even so, the Smock Family succeeded by stirring up a debate and fielding a variety of responses from students. Whatever the case may be, the exhibition opened a heated debate and allowed CSUSM stu­ dents and the Smock family to exercise their freedom to speak.

The adaptation of Anne Rice’s Queen o f the Damned opened this Friday with a lot of flash and very little substance. The filmmakers placed little importance on the characters’ histories, something Anne Rice has always chronicled in depth throughout the ages in her novels, and instead made a 90-minute MTV video. To be fair, Queen o f the Damned stood out as the odd ball in the vampire chronicles (the first was Interview with the Vampire, which became a hit movie in the 90s). The plot centers around Lestat (Anne Rice’s prover­ bial vampire star), who sud­ denly awakens as a gothic rock star in the late 20th century, defying centuries of vampire laws, and awak­ ens the mother of all vam­ pires.

The concertgoers scream REVIEW �Escape San Marcos: Las Vegas By DAVID YANAGI Pride Staff Writer The spring semester is still in its infancy, but if you’re like me, thoughts of vacation have already begun. A reprieve from parking woes, schedule nightmares and cruel syllabi, if only for a couple days, would be enough to main­ tain some sanity until summer (or at least Spring Break). As far as I’m concerned, that’s more than reason enough to justify a jaunt to neon central, Las Vegas. The great thing about Vegas, aside from legalized gambling, complimentary cocktails and afternoon topless revues, is that it’s a low maintenance getaway. A city that’s ready when you are. No need to show up with any schedule or a fanny-pack full of maps and travel guides. It’s more like visiting your parent’s house, you know where everything is and even if you haven’t been there in some time, it doesn’t take long to get comfortable. But before you leave America’s finest city in your dust for a weekend furlough in Sin City, here are some tips that will have you feeling more like a high-roller and less like a starving student. Getting There When people say, “getting there is half the fun,” I assume that the other half is actually up for their weekly ‘click and deal within a single hotel.

The larger vary a great resorts along the Strip have done their best to create a complete, self-contained experience. Gam­ bling, shopping, dining, shows and whatever else they can come up with to keep you (and your money) from stepping outside. This is exactly .why it’s possible to stay at a top-notch hotel for a fraction of the prices offered in other citites. These places know that people end up playing where they’re staying. If you can afford $100 show tickets and $25 hands of black­ jack, then stick around, Siegfried and Roy will be glad to have you. But if you’re on a limited budget, the mega-resorts will have your bankroll dwindling quicker than an Enron 401k. So enjoy the lavish room, the beautiful shops and the impeccable service, but don’t be afraid to seek your enter­ tainment elsewhere. Try the $7.77 steak and shrimp dinner at the Hard Rock Hotel, stop by a concierge desk for 2 for 1 tickets to Harrah’s Improv comedy show ($24.95), play some 25 cent roulette and dollar craps games at Casino Royale or check out the new after-hours club inside the Barbary Coast. Deals and specials on the Strip change frequently, but if you run out of ideas a good cab driver or bellman will always be able to point you in the right direction. One last suggestion for max­ imizing your getaway. Tip. Vegas revolves around gratuity. Room upgrades, better show seats, front of the line at clubs and faster drink service can all be accessed by greasing a few palms. Believe me; twenty bucks to the right person can go a long, long way. And you’ll feel like a big shot, even if it did come out of your financial aid check. Good luck and I’ll see you at the buffets.

March 5 is the official day for Californians to vote in the primary election. The election will determine if many newly proposed state and local proposi­ tions on the ballot will become laws. The state propositions and one local county proposition included on the ballot are: Prop 40 The California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Neighborhood Parks, and Coastal Protection Act ofi2002 calls for a bond issue of $2.6 billion. The bond will provide funds to protect rivers, lakes, and streams to improve water quality and ensure clean drinking water; to protect beaches and coastal areas threatened by pollution; to improve air quality; to preserve open space and farmland threat­ ened by unplanned development; to protect wildlife habitat; to restore historical and cultural resources; -and to repair and improve the safety of state and neighborhood parks. The California Legislature placed this bond act on the bal­ lot. Its fiscal impact on the state is predicted at about $4.3 billion over 25 years, with an average •cost of about $172 million per year to repay the bonds. The cost for state and local operation and maintenance costs will probably reach tens of millions of dollars annually. If passed, Proposition 40 would allow the state to sell $2.6 billion in bonds for natural resources conservation, state and local park acquisition and improvement, and historical and cultural resources preservation purposes. Proponents of Proposition 40 argue that California should be kept safe and beautiful, and that the measure would also protect the quality of neighborhoods. However, dissenters claim that now is not the time to add $2.6 billion more to California’s debt, since voters already approved $4 billion in bonds for water and parks in 2000. Prop 41 Voting Modernization Bond Act of 2002 (Shelley-Hertzberg Act) is proposed to ensure that every person’s vote is accurately counted. Placed on the ballot by the Legislature, this bond act authorizes the issuance of state bonds, allowing counties to pur­ chase modem voting equipment and replace outdated punch card or chad systems. This act calls for bonds in the amount of $200 million and appropriates money from the General Fund to pay off bonds. The fiscal impact on the state is about $255 million over ten years with an average of about $26 million annually to repay bonds. A one-time county cost of about $67 million statewide for each county to match state funds is a part of the act, and it will also require an additional annual county operating cost in the tens of millions of dollars. If passed, the state could sell $200 million in bonds to assist counties with the purchase of new voting systems. Supporters of Proposition 41 say that the new high-tech vot­ ing machines would ensure that every vote counts. Non­ supporters argue that Californians should pay for new voting machines with current tax collections, rather than increas­ ing the state’s debt and interest payments. Prop 42 Transportation Congestion Improvement Act. Allocation of Existing Motor Vehicle Fuel Sales and Use Tax Revenues for Transportation Purposes Only proposition requites that exist­ ing revenues, effective July 1, 2003, gained from state sales and use taxes on the sale of motor vehicle fuel be used for trans­ portation purposes as provided by law (until June 30, 2008.) Placed on the ballot by the Legislature, the act requires that, effective on July 1,2008, existing revenue resulting from state sales and use taxes from the sale of motor vehicle fuel would be used for public transit and mass trans­ portation, and improvements. It imposes the requirement for a two-thirds of the legislature to suspend or modify the percent­ age allocation of the revenues. The fiscal impact of this proposition, of about $1.4 billion in state gasoline sales tax rev­ enues, increasing annually there­ after, would continue to be used for state and local transportation purposes starting in 2008-09. If . passed, the State Constitution would require that gasoline sales tax revenues be used annually for state and local transportation purposes begin­ ning in 2003-2004. Proponents argue that gaso­ line sales tax should be used to improve road safety, mass tran­ sit, and traffic reduction without raising taxes. There are 6000 = | to an appointed position. The County Chief Administrative Officer would then appoint the officer. In order to adopt this mea­ sure, a majority vote is required. to stop fraud because insurance fraud creates higher insurance premiums for all, and that the stiffer penalties for second con­ victions of insurance fraud must be put in place. Those arguing against the proposition say the punishment should fit the crime. The only reason a chiropractor should lose his/her license is for harming patients.

Opponents qrgue that the proposition has voters voting on something that wouldn’t happen until 2008, which would force a $1.2 billion cut in vital educa­ tion, health care and public safe­ ty to pay for increased spending on transportation. Prop 43 The Right to Have Vote Counted proposition will amend the constitution to ensure that a voter who casts a vote in an election, in accord with the laws of this state,, shall have that vote counted. Placed on the ballot by the Legislature, the proposition’s fiscal impact places no addi­ tional cost on state or local gov­ ernments. If passed, the State Constitution would be amended to affirm the right of a voter to have his/her vote counted. State law would explicitly authorize county election officials to ask the court for an extension of a post-election deadline, allowing for additional time to count votes and would explicitly authorize courts to approve such a request. However, if this measure is adopted, the proposed Charter amendment would not be active immediately because the current treasurer/tax collector is entitled to serve out his four-year term of office, which will expire, at noon on Jan. 6,2003. If passed, the proposition would change the elective office Proposition A: N orth C ounty Voters The Make Treasurer/Tax Collector an Appointive Office proposition aims to amend the San Diego County Charter, changing the treasurer/tax col­ lector from an elected position Supporters contend that the right to vote is meaningless if you cannot be sure that your vote will be counted, and Prop 43 provides voters with a consti­ tutional right to have their votes counted. Opponents say that it will do more harm than good and the problem is not that ballots are not counted, but that special interest groups and giant corporations buy elections. The Pride licensee in certain circumstanc­ es and license revocation upon second conviction, or multiple convictions, of specified insur­ ance fraud offenses. The fiscal impact is negli­ gible of additional state imple­ mentation costs. This measure also projects potential state savings of unknown amounts that would result in lower work­ ers’ compensation and Medi-Cal costs. If passed, the Board of Chiropractic Examiners would be required to revoke a chiro­ practor’s license for a period of 10 years upon his or her convic­ tion of various criminal offenses, including insurance fraud, and will allow an investigation of any licensed chiropractor who is criminally charged with com­ mitting insurance fraud. If the act fails to pass, the Board of Chiropractic Examiners would retain discretion in determining disciplinary action imposed against a licensed chi­ ropractor and determine wheth­ er to investigate licensed chi­ ropractors who are criminally charged with committing insur­ ance fraud. Those arguing for the prop­ osition say that it would help a maximum of four years beyond the terms provided for in the Constitution. Statewide, the fiscal impact could be several hundreds of thousands of dollars every two years to verify voter petition sig­ natures. However, there would be lit­ tle or no state cost to track the eligibility of re-election candi­ dates. If passed, this proposition would allow local registered vot­ ers to petition the secretary of state to permit their incumbent senator or assembly member, who is otherwise ineligible due to term limits, to run for reelection and to serve up to an additional four years. Consequently, a senator could serve a maximum of three four-year terms and an assembly member a maximum of five twoyear terms. Supporters of the proposition say that the measure would riot end term limits but keep term limits in place, which will give voters the option of extending the term of their own lawmaker. Non-supporters believe it would* end term limits in the state. of treasurer/tax collector to an appointed office, regardless of the results in the election for treasurer/tax collector position on March 5* Those arguing for Prop A say that the position of treasurer/tax collector has enormous respon­ sibilities and is the only county official with the ability to singlehandedly bankrupt the county, as proven by Orange County a few years ago. Arguments against Prop A are that voters should decide on their treasurer/tax collector and not let the San Diego County Board of Supervisors appoint someone to this position. This would eliminate the indepen­ dence of the retirement system and school hands by giving more control and power to the board of supervisors. �Oceanskks US CONGRESS District 50 sentatives.

Whether those of you who have responded to her letter agree or disagree with her position, we feel the letter raises some inter­ esting questions that we all might want to consider. It goes without saying that each of us is here for one reason or another, the term “higher edu­ cation” is one that cannot be easily defined. We’ve run stu­ dent editorials in the past that attacked the academic institution and all it stands for, and we’ve also printed pieces praising all that comes with an investment in an academic environment, its proponents and its values. What does higher education mean to you? What is your learn­ ing curve? Is the institution successful if it moves students through the system by means of assigning grades that cannot ever truly be objective and award­ ing degrees to those who jump through the hoops strategically set up for them? Or rather, should we focus on the individual who shows up for the classes, takes the exams and learns to survive The Pride denced by the varied opinions expressed in these pages. Con­ sider Professor X’s class. Was it a success? A complete failure? Apparently, it was controversial; E D IT O R IA L on whatever means he or she deems necessary to do so? And can we really measure “learning” by an age-old 5-letter or number system? Again, the answers to these questions must be purely sub­ jective. The vast array of differ­ ent perceptions about a particular situation or event is surely evi­ many of you have reacted strongly, and this fact alone is indicative of the fact that the class affected students strongly. „ Perhaps some of the questions we all might benefit from are the following: Are we assigned grades? Or Do We earn them? How much does the professor really have to do with what we publication. learn and how we learn it? If we “earn” our grade, and it reflects our mastery of the material-whatever that means-do we consider ourselves better off, whether we receive an “A” or a “C” for a grade? If The Pride has raised far more questions than offered answers, then we’ve done our job. Why are you here? What do you hope to get out of your encounter with an institution of higher learning? And how much of the outcome will you hold yourself responsible for? And if you find these strange questions, we ericouragfc you to seek out the answers.

As a consequence, not only will your identity be taken away from you, but your life will be also. Imagine how you would feel if you tried to apply for a home loan and the consultant explained to you that you were not quali­ fied because you were $20,000 dollars in debt with credit cards you don’t even own. Whose decision was it to make our social security num­ bers available to the public? Why didn’t the administration choose a magnetic strip or a bar-code? Most of the time we are asked to give our- student identifi­ cation number when we are requesting confidential material. The administration doesn’t check our student ID cards, they ask to see photo ID instead. So why is the number there if it has no sig­ nificant purpose? Now think: for a moment, for an institution that cares so much about our education, our future, and the safety of its students why have they taken the secu­ rity of our identity for granted?

Last September 2000, the president campaigned on his honesty and virtue as opposed to Clinton’s lack thereof. He proudly announced that if elected president he would strongly veto any bill to send nuclear waste to an interim storage site in Nevada, only 90 miles from pop­ ulous Las Vegas. Now Bush says a central dis­ posal site for nuclear waste inyes- that state of Nevada “is nec­ essary to protect public safety, health and this nation’s secu­ rity.” No veto, but a proud sig­ nature on the bill instead. Dick Cheney, speaking at Miramar, has reaffirmed George’s honesty for us to ponder. The vice presi­ dent said he thinks most “Amer­ icans find it reassuring to have a commander in chief (who) tells the truth and means exactly what he says.” Perhaps Cheney meant Bush doesn’t exactly know what the truth is.

For many students, Profes­ sor X’s course serves as a rude awakening, a bright light that exposes their lack of knowledge and research skills. But that does not mean failure. Professor X encourages intellectual growth and provides students with an effective study process that we can later personalize to fit our taste. In fact, Professor X takes a genuine interest in her students as individuals. She invites stu­ dents to engage in discussion out­ side the classroom-Over coffee, over lunch, or in small groups in her fairly cramped office. If you aspire to teach, attend grad school, or simply desire your degree to have substance, we encourage you to take a class with Professor X. You will have several opportunities to sharpen your speaking and thinking skills, gauge your ability, and gain a solid foundation for future study.

Personally, I think that the Canadians won, not because because they were better than the Russians; rather, it’s because I pre­ ferred the Canadians. Many of these type of events are so judgemental and so controversial that they should be considered not as a sport but as an artis­ tic event. I believe that anything that cannot be quantified should fall under the artistic category and not as asport. For example, the winner of a soccer game is the one who scored the most. That’s clear cut and generally indisputable. On foe other hand, a gymnast doing the parallel bar should be considered as an artist because scoring is strictly in the eyes of the beholder. Other exam­ ples of sporting events are: bobsled, ice hockey, track, baseball, whereby judgement are based on the transition of actual numerical values such as high or low, first or second, more or less, in or out. Of course sometimes some sort of judgment call is used such as the case of instant replays in football. But these are th exceptions. Events I consider as more of an art rather than sport are: surfing, figure skating, diving, gymnastics, and even boxing, if none of the opponents get knock down. My point is that it is grossly unfair and disheartening for many of these particpants who spend all their efforts and much of their reources over long periods in their quest for victory, just to flat over some judge’s atti­ tude and demeanor.

The Pride Literary Supplement (PLS), a publication of The Pride, is again seeking stu­ dent writing representing inquiry and research across all academic disciplines pursued at CSUSM. Since its inception, California State University at San Marcos has committed itself to the cultivation of student writing. Across the disciplines, at every academic level, students are required to write and professors are asked to take writing seriously. The student newspaper would like to publish expository, critical, and theoretical writing as much as creative writing, poems, stories or film scripts. The PLS will consider manuscripts of up to 3000 words that both exemplify excellent inquiry and research in their discipline(s) and that able readers from outside that discipline to read with pleasure and understanding. Appropriate faculty judges the quality of research or creative writing. Accessibility is determined by the editor(s) of The Pride or their designated representatives. Submissions: Submissions are currently being accepted for the upcoming Pride Literary Supplement. All forms of literary writing —expository, critical, theoretical and creative writing —are encouraged. Authors should avoid highly technical language, critical jargon, foreign, or mathematical language. When technical terms are essential, they should be explained to the reader. Refer­ ences to critical literature, where necessary, should be parenthetical. APA, MLA, Chicago, and all other formats are welcome as long as the paper represents the appropriate academic discipline. The PLS favors student writing and will privilege student manuscripts that are submitted with the recommendation of a faculty member who has pursued research in the student’s field of study or published texts of a related kind. Staff and faculty contributions will also be con­ sidered. . Photos or images (black and white preferred) of other artwork will also be accepted as an enhancement or as an alternative to manuscripts. Please submit images and text using the fol­ lowing instructions. For judging and layout purposes: Submit a blind copy, with your name appearing only on a cover sheet and essay title, your mailing address, e-mail, phone number, and major or graduate field of study to: The Pride Mailbox “Student and Residential Life” Office Commons 207 Also: E-mail one electronic file attachment (MS Word) to pflde@csusm.edu. Entries sub­ mitted without an electronic copy will not be reviewed. An electronic copy on a PC-formatted disk will also be accepted. Manuscripts or disks will not be returned. Deadline for submissions: May 2,2001. For further information, contact The Pride office by e-mail at pride@csusm.edu, or by phone at (760) 750-6099; or by fax at (760) 750-3345.

Photo by Ben Roffee/The Pride "Bid day" at CSUSM welcomes prospective members to its Greek community The intersection of Craven Road and Twin Oaks Valley Road often accumulates congested traffic. The congested traffic creates chaos for Cougars and local residents. Recently, the San M arcos S heriffs Department notified CSUSM of the constant complaints they receive regarding the intersection. Due to the overwhelming complaints f rom city residents, the s heriffs department plans to focus more attention on the intersection. The s heriffs department aims to enforce all vehicle codes, but more specifically, they plan to focus on violations of Vehicle Code 22526, also known as the Anti-Gridlock Law. The viola- tion costs approximately $150. University police are currently focusing on other aspects of t raffic inside CSUSM. If the s heriffs department requests assistance in patrolling the intersection, then university police will o ffer its support in the matter as well. Drivers violate the code when "they are sitting in a busy intersection and it is his/her t urn t o go through but they cannot make it all the way through the light and it t urns red. They are blocking the intersection," said Lieutenant Douglas Miller of the University Police Department. "It is pretty basic. You block the intersection and you get a ticket j ust like anywhere else. The problem is really that the t raffic is See Traffic, Page 2 Tijuana factory workers discuss globalization issues with CSUSM community Thinking Outside the [íunch]Box: Are you Passing? BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer Monthly Program Continues its Multicultural Educational Forums Thursday, Feb. 21 —' The Center for Border and Regional A ffairs hosted a screening of the f ilm, 'Maquilapolis: City of Factories' followed by a discussion with filmmaker, Sergio D e L a Torre and promotoras, Hispanic community outreach workers, f rom Tijuana featured in the film. There are currently about 4,000 maquiladoras across the Mexican border. Eighty percent of the labor force in maquiladoras (factories) are women. Women are o ften preferred over men because they are "cheap, docile and have agile hands." The average maquiladora worker receives $11 p er day. "We are simply objects of labor," said a f actory worker in the film. To create the film, filmmakers collaborated with f actory workers in Tijuana, community organizations in Mexico and the United States to illustrate globalization through the eyes of the women at the center of t he industry. The film f ocuses on the devastating impacts of globalization on its f actory workers and the environment. Filmmakers provided the women with cameras and taught them how to shoot. For five years t he women documented their daily lives. The film concentrated on the abandoned f actories and toxic waste products dumped throughout the com- munity. " Tijuana is nobody's trashcan," exclaimed one f rustrated worker in the film. Although 'Maquilopolis' stresses the f act that globalization provides corporate f reedom to move around the world in pursuit of cheap labor and lenient environmental regulations, it also shows that workers can organize ways t o demand appropriate law enforcement successfully. In t he film, many of the women were fighting back against the companies they worked for. Carmen D uran and her coworkers filed suit against Sanyo Electric Company for their entitled severance pay when the company abandoned their f actory in Tijuana and moved to Indonesia. At t he end of t he film, their case settled and they received severance pays ranging f rom $1000-$2000. A fter the screening, CSUSM faculty member, Dr. Ranjeeta Basu, introduced De La Torre and three promotoras to a round of applause f rom the lecture hall. The featured guests were met with a multitude of questions stemming f rom the film. J )irec|or : Sergio De La Torre served a s translator for the promotoras. Many students placed blame on t he Mexican government for i ts lack of initiative on the issue and asked why certain laws were not in place to prevent businesses f rom contaminating t he environment. ''Enforcement in environmental regulations is lax. There are laws in place. Laws are not the probSee FACTORY, Page 2 Photo by Jackie Carbajal / The Pride BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer Today, Tuesday Feb. 26, during University Hour, Multicultural Programs will host its first ' Thinking Outside the [lunch] Box forum in University Hall 10Q. The T hinking Outside the [lunch]Box series is a monthly forum facilitated by Cal State instructors and/or guests to have an open and safe discussion about that session's particular topic. This month's topic is: "Are you passing?" "Passing is a sociological concept which refers to members of a racial group being accepted by others of a different race," explains Jay Franklin, Coordinator of Multicultural Programs. Facilitating this event is Dr. Elise as well as Dr. Wilson of Cal State San Marcos, in conjunction with Lori Walkington, a graduate student of CSUSM. With a diverse group of educated and insightful facilitators with a willingness to learn, this event is sure to attract the attention of many students eager t o get involved, let their voices be heard, and make connections. "Statistics say that students who form relationships outside of classrooms are more likely t o graduate and continue on to grad. school and these venues provide opportunities to make connections and social support groups outside of the classroom," states Franklin. The forum coordinators are looking forward to engaging students and answering any questions or ideas that they may have. "It would be a good place to meet people that have different opinions about 'passing'. It's an avenue to discuss relevant contemporary issues and eat f ree food," said Kevin Chatham, a student Peer Educator at the Cross Cultural Center. Multicultural Programs encourages any student enticed by the promise of f ree food and the opportunity to discuss contemporary issues to attend the monthly event. �THE c i p r i d e • lllÉi ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ I ARTS ,:* & ^ £ DITÜR * TORIA $i*QRT$ From TRAFFIC, page 1 headed down one lane.

He identifies 7:45 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., Monday through Thursday; 9:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., on Monday and Wednesday; and 10:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., on Tuesday and Thursday as peak traffic times. Miller f urther suggests that by increasing awareness of these times Cougars can arrive at alternate times to reduce the problems associated with peak traffic congestion. "Nobody parks in X, Y, or Z lot. Very few students park in upper or lower B lot. If people managed when they came onto campus and parked on B, X, Y, and Z lots then they would reduce a lot of traffic. They pass open spaces. If we can get people to show up on non-peak times and park in other spaces, it would greatly reduce t raffic," said Miller.

One BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer We have all seen it, but have only spared a glance in its direction as we just continue on our merry way to Cougar Central or the University Store. It is that one lone room on the third floor of Craven Hall right across the hall from the plethora of murals. It is room 3400-A—better known as the Cross Cultural Center—a place that is warm and open to anyone looking for a multicultural and sociable experience. Jay Franklin, Coordinator of Multicultural Programs, describes it as, "A physical space to relax, with access to computers, printers, and a multicultural library to help them academically. It is also an area where you can critically discuss issues of multiculturalism and diversity." The Cross Cultural Center is an accepting environment with a multitude of different students who go there to relax, do homework, or simply take a break fj-om class to be with friends. Furthermore, with a courteous staff of Student Peer Educators whom have an extensive knowledge of the environment and a host of diversity programs, there is much to learn from them as well as C3's visitors. "I love being a part of the growing diversity on campus and giving other people the opportunity to interact with other cultures," says Auriel Dice, a Student Peer Educator in the C3. The academic and personal growth aspects of C3 are valuable to one's growth as a person, and what better way is there to learn, than to learn while having fun? With the combination of a set of large, red, and very comfortable couches as well as a giant 42" plasma ^screen, it is paradise for any student who wishes to relax while watching the news or Discovery Channel. Along with the connections that the visitors and staff of the C3's bring, the center is also conveniently connected with the Student Life & Leadership office (SLL), home to Orientation Team, Greek life, and 80+ other student organizations. "So many different people come in and just hang," says Kevin Chatham, Student Peer Educator of C3, "It's a friendly place with a lot of laughs and smiles." With its warm atmosphere, welcoming environment, and room to relax, learn, and grow, the Cross Cultural Center is a room on campus that should be visited regularly. In addition, having made a multitude of lifelong friendships in that office myself, it'd be hard to not find me in C3 regularly. .of the most similar 'cheap' alternatives is the COBY MP-C582 Clip MP3 Player. The MP-C582 is a 1GB player with all of the rudimentary functions of the iPod Shuffle, though marginally less attractive. The COBY player retails for as low as $25, but has received sub-par reviews relating to the aesthetics and dependability. One of thé more popular alternatives is the Creative Zen V. The Zen V 1GB player sports a $59.99 price tag and boasts a 1.5-inch color screen. The price tag along with fact that the device has a screen makes it one of the more desirable choices among the vast sea of lowcapacity MP3 players.

Melanie Niedens would say that energy drinks "play a huge role on campus". At any point during the day, a student is able to quickly make up for those few hours of sleep they missed by popping open a Monster. But does a highly caffeinated, artificiallyflavoredbeverage really fill the void? Its hard to tell at this point, since the long term effects of the energy drink craze has not yet been fully observed. It is important though, to understand the healthy alternatives that are made available to students on campus at CSUSM. When asked about a healthy alternative, Nie- dens (Cougar Store manager) suggested "Yerba Mate" which is an organic, naturally caffeinated tea reminiscent of a green tea flavor. Yerba Mate has just recently been made available for purchase in the Cougar Corner. Another alternative to gain just a bit of energy and or focus is Vitamin Water. Also according to Niedens, "Vitamin water is our number one seller". This reassuring fact proves that most students are still choosing the healthy alternative to give them that extra pick up. It would not be a surprise, however, to see the way energy drinks are advertised and distributed on college campuses nationwide for years to come.

His worn blue eyes, grey hair and grizzled voice emitted a sense of familiarity that could send you back in time f ifty years ago. In those days, families would load up their vans with tents and surfboards and take a weekend drive to relax and enjoy unscathed vistas of the 3.5 miles of cool ocean breeze and sandy shores. It's one of the benefits living there in this area - being able to enjoy a great number of outdoor activities like running and hiking trails or simply watching surfers and wildlife as they crash up and down waves. As he continued speaking, he would go on to mention how much of a blessing the land is as well as the entire state park system of California, like this one in San Onofre. It would be a shame that if many years from now, asphalt highways obliterated the natural settings only to save commuters countless hours stuck in traffic each year. Though softly spoken, his words resonated with the importance of maintaining this natural reserve and how simply laying pavement over them cannot solve problems. Some things are better left in nature's hands and simply be left untouched by the hordes of politicians and developers. The name of this man, for those curious, was Clint East- wood. As the epitome of the California surf culture, beachgoers and surfers always speak with high regard about the pristine qualities of San Onofre State Beach ~ particularly the area known as Trestles Beach. It houses numerous breaks that range from beginner sets, to some of the finer breaks here on the west coast. These wetlands that are situated right on the Oceanside and San Clemente border maintains an environmentally-friendly surrounding, untouched by land developers, and one of the few of its kind that exists along the California coastline. Even though this state paik is the fifth-most visited amongst the 278 state parks in California—frequented by surfers and swimmers alike for its famous surf spots—it doesn't just cater to them. People come in their campers and trailers looking to admire a beautiful sunset along a spot on the beach. Trestles Beach is also a natural reserve that serves as home to numerous flora and fauna. Inaccessible by vehicles, thrill seekers usually park their cars off the side of a road and trek through a long, winding trail from either the upper or the lower ends of the state park to find this hidden gem of a surf spot. For local Marines stationed in nearby Camp Pendleton, the area serves as a getaway from their dayto-day functions throughout the week, providing a little rest and relaxation. For them, Trestles is an introduction t o the Pacific surf culture, and for some, it's the first beach they've ever seen. Perhaps it is for this reason alone that makes Trestles widely adored within the surfing community; earning its name as the Yosemite of Surfing. Annually, the area is host to world-class competitions hosted by the Association of Surfing Professionals, such as last year's Boost Mobile Pro, and events by the National Scholastic Surfing Association. Yet, for all of its prestige, Trestles has seen its share of lingering and potential issues that threaten its serene shores. The last several years have had locals galvanizing a debate over the latest issue that involves expanding a proposed toll road (an extension to State Route 241). The extension would connect Orange County and San Diego with the construction ofa six-lane highway, and it is estimated to cost somewhere around $875 million dollars to fund and help alleviate some of the traffic nightmares on Interstate 5. The main goal is to cut down gridlock for commuters who cross the borders into San Diego County daily In January, Gov. Schwarzenegger and a handful of other officials threw their support behind the proposed project and generated even more intense interest over the possible solutions, if any. A 16-mile expansion would cut right through the state park and end right before hitting Trestles. Environmentalists and activists groups SPRINTER March 9,2008 argued that a highway of such magnitude would endanger wildlife and eliminate miles ofhiking and biking trails, reduce campground areas and increase the amount of polluted runoff into the park's watershed, not to mention the loss of a world-class surf spot. This is the first proposed project of its kind to have a highway run through any state park. Anytime commuters hear of a proposed solution to end gridlock, they generally jump on the opportunity to listen. Today, roughly 125,000 vehicles pass through the area each day. According to a study done by the Transportation Corridor Agencies based out of Irvine, an estimated trip down the Interstate 5 corridor could take almost an hour to get through by the year 2025. Earlier this month in Del Mar, the California Coastal Commission (CCC) held a hearing and listened to the implications and concerns of the expansion's opponents. The crowd of more than 3,000 supporters provided testimonies and after 12 hours of deliberation, the CCC voted 8-2 against any proposed highway through San Onofre State Park thunderous cheers of approval followed the decision. The majority of the supportersrepresentedthe "Save Trestles" campaign, which for years battled against such an expansion. The Commission concluded that aspects of the project simply failed to meet with California coastal regulations, and is simply inconceivable. Mainly, the reason for this ruling by the panel was due to inconsistencies the project had with the law, raising concerns for both the region and social responsibility. Peter Douglas, the executive director of the CCC, said, "This toll road raises fundamental questions about what kind of environmental and social future we want for our coastal communities, our families, our children and theirs." Though the locals won this battle, the war is still farfromover-Orange county lobbyists have not conceded defeat over this loss. The proponents of the state route expansion intend to appeal to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce to overrule the Commission's ruling. According to Thomas Margro, the Foothill/Eastern Corridor Transportation Chief Executive Officer, "This project is the best option for relieving traffic congestion with the least amount of impact on communities and the environment." Still, the debate remains strong whether a highway through a state beach like the one threatening Trestles Beach is the best solution. Opponents to the highway expansion suggested studies that involve expanding Interstate 5 using innovative designs that would accommodate traffic. Through the debate though, one thing remains clear: Trestles Beach is a California icon.

Pride Investigates: Top 5 dirtiest places on campus BY AMY SALISBURY Pride Staff Writer According to the Center for Disease Control, the 2007-2008 Flu Season is one of the worst on record. Some U.S. health officials believe the severity is due to an ineffectivefluVaccine while others say the influenza strain's increasing antiviral resistance is to blame. Either way, bacteria and viruses are virtually inescapable. Avoidance combined with prevention seems to be the best way to steer clear of infection. But what to evade? The following list draws from numerous medical studies and professional opinions to try to shed light on what are most likely the grimiest places on our campus. 1. Drinking Fountains More like a rather large Petri dish. Robert Donofrio, PhD, director of microbiology for NSF International, found as many as 2.7 million bacteria on any given square inch of a public water spigot (compared to a measly 49 on a public toilet seat) through an independent study conducted in 2005. The reason for the incredible amount of bacteria is because the faucet is always wet, creating one marvelous environment for E. coli, staphylococcus, and a whole host of other tummy-turning microorganisms. If you must, run the water for about 15 seconds before taking a sip as a way of clearing a portion of the existing bacteria. 2. Classrooms That'sright.Those things you're stuck in all day. University of Arizona researchers found that classroom desks have 20 times the amount of bacteria as you would find on an ordinary workplace desk; 7 times that of a doctor's office. "Desks are really bacteria cafeterias," says Charles Gerba, microbiologist. A classroom desk has the capacity to support 10 million microorganisms at any given time. What's more, the desk you're at can keep a cold orflubug viable for 72 hours, long enough to transfer them to several people. Antibacterial wipes can offer much appreciated peace of mind; they do kill 99% of surface germs. 3. Restroom Doors Think about it. Every single person going in or out of the bathroom has to touch the same place. As said by the American Society of Microbiologists, approximately 68% of people actually wash their hands before leaving the restroom. So, that means that nearly one third of people have the ability to transfer the urine and fecal matter from several people to the restroom door, giving everyone the opportunity to share in the excitement. Lovely. Rule of thumb: say your ABCs while you wash your hands as a good 20 seconds will cleanse thoroughly. 4. Stair Handrails It's no secret that CSUSM has Considering a Career In Physical Therapy?

Microbes open to the elements are able to survive for about two hours on the metal, non-porous painted stair rails. As frightening as it is, researchers have found everything from streptococcus, staphylococcus, salmonella and shigella (the culprits behind dysentery), and even blood harboring hepatitis A. When it comes to a surface as common as stair railing, all I can say is this: just don't touch. 5. Vending Machines Essentially, outdoor things with buttons on them are ghastly. If you buy your parking permits by the day, that keypad you touch can have 3,295 bacteria per square inch. Maybe you've decided to bypass the drinking fountain for bottled water. A vast improvement, yes, but the array of germs on the outside of the machine could trans- fer from the button, to your hand, to the bottle top, right on into your mouth. Not only that, but paper money is one of the dirtiest things you can handle. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers come in quite handy in these situations, but be careful as overuse can cause your immune system to weaken. As simple as it may seem, proper hand washing technique is truly your best defense against infection. If the faucet isn't automatic, use a paper towel to turn it on. The soap you use doesn't need to be antibacterial, but you must lather well, being sure not to ignore your wrists or forget about your fingernails. After about 20 seconds rinse thoroughly, and choose a paper towel over an air dryer, as it can blow bacteria all over your freshly washed hands. Don't rely on the alcohol-based hand sanitizers either; there's no substitute for soap and water. �gramming language.

Silva, who sits atop the summit of the world's best pound-for-pound fighters, seeks to defend his belt from Henderson, who holds the equivalent welterweight belt from the now defunct Pride promotion (Pride welterweight and UFC middleweight are equivalent divisions). "The Spider" entered the UFC in 2006 and has dominated the middleweight division with his devastating stand up game. A product of the famed Brazilian "Chute Box" team, Silva is an expert in Muay Thai and also received his black belt in Brazilian Jui-Jitsu from Pride legend, Antonio "Minotauro" Noguiera. On Oct. 14,2006, Silva defeated Rich Franklin at UFC 64 for the middleweight belt, knocking out the champion halfway into the first round. Since then, Silva has reined mercilessly over the division, successfully defending his title against Travis Lutter, Nathan Marquadt, and Rich Franklin in his most recent fight, a rematch. Prior to his current UFC reign, Silva held the Cage Rage middle- weight title from 2004 to 2006. If there is only one middleweight contender in the world that can beat Anderson Silva, it is Dan Henderson. An Olympic caliber Greco-Roman wrestler, Henderson has consistently proven himself to be a top-tier fighter in both the 185 lb. and 205 lb. divisions. From 2000 to 2007, Henderson fought against countless elite fighters in Pride, where he eventually won and simultaneously held the welterweight (185 lb.) and middleweight (205 lb.) titles. Most recently, Henderson lost a hard fought, five round battle for the UFC light heavyweight title against Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. Prior to that fight, Henderson knocked out Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva, one of the most ruthless fighters in the history of MM A. The Fight: Silva can expect a f ull five round war and should pace himself accordingly. Although one of Silva's greatest strengths is his Muay Thai clinch, he should really avoid allowing Henderson to close the distance. The best place for Silva to win this fight will be standing up, delivering strikes from the outside and slowly working Henderson down. As precise a striker as Silva may be, Henderson's Photo by Ben Roffee / The Pride granite chin will make it difficult for Silva to knock him out. Silva needs to capitalize on any mistakes and put together combinations if he expects to knock out Henderson. Although Henderson has never shied^ away from the stand-up game, he needs to keep in mind that Silva is one of the deadliest strikers in the business. Should he stand with Silva, Henderson should keep him in close prox- imity, where Silva's kicks, knees, and jabs are much less effective. Henderson will also find it much easier to deliver his devastating hooks when Silva is trying to separate. Henderson's GrecoRoman clinch will be his greatest source of control in the fight and his greatest defense against Silva's powerful knee strikes. Taking the fight to the ground where Silva is not as effective in dealing damage should be a key part of Henderson's strategy. Silva has not had to defend his title into the late fourth and fifth rounds, which is where Henderson should look to finish the fight. Prediction; Dan Henderson wins the middleweight title by way of knockout late in the fourth round.

But this week I want to talk about two great players who found a way to cheat the system and maybe the legal system. Both Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds have put up unbelievable numbers over the years in the pros, but those numbers appeared to be tampered. Bonds, the single season and career homerun leader in Major League Baseball, may have found a way to cheat the legal system like he has cheated baseball all these years. Bonds' legal team has found typos in the filing by prosecutors. Now Bonds may have found his scapegoat in perjury . and obstruction of justice charges. A typo in notes stating that Bonds failed a drug test in 2001 was the mistake, when the player called "Barry B." failed a drug test in 2000 in the BALCO reports. Here is my issue. Bonds you cheated, you got caught, now face the wrath. I understand that you deserve a fair trial and that you College Lif© BY TOM COCKING Pride Staff Writer Every high school student dreams of graduating senior year and heading off to a new life in college, f ull of partying, meeting new people, getting a higher education, and of course no parents. Some schools have the reputation of being party schools; others have the reputation of being strictly education only. To be honest I didn't hear much about Cal State San Marcos other than that it was really new and I could get a good education. I moved down here from South Lake Tahoe, which is a real small town, especially compared to Southern California; so needless to say, it was a bit of a culture shock. My sister went to SDSU and it definitely had a great social atmosphere. When I moved here, I didn't get the same feeling; the city of San Marcos was no college town, to say the least. The longer I live here the more I notice that San Marcos is having trouble accepting that it is becoming a college town. I had heard that when San Marcos was first developing, it was a retirement community and now the older population is slowly being replaced by much younger families and college students. With all the rules and laws it looks like the transition from retirement community to college town is going to be a rough one. It seems as though the City of San Marcos is trying its best to make sure this town isn't "overrun" by college students, which is start- ing to really get to me. Anyone who lives in San Marcos or goes to this school knows that every year it is growing and bringing youth with it. Many like me whose home is too far to obviously live there and still attend CSUSM. So then arises the question: where do we live? There are the dorms which can only house so many, but other than that college students have to live off campus in residential areas f ull of families, which is you ask me is terrifying to any adult. So we move into houses and apartments and within the month—especially where my roommates and I live—there are already complaints. We party too much, we're up too late, there are too many cars parked outside, we're too loud, it goes on an on. The question is how do we solve this problem? I don't enjoy annoying the neighbors or making them mad, no one should, but we have no options but to live where we can, which happens to be next to families and older people. With many of the housing restrictions, it is hard to find places where you and a few roommates can live without bothering any neighbors. I feel that many adults see college students a's a problem, and yes, socially we can be at times, but we bring change. Whether it is a good change is hard to say right now, but this city will never know unless they give it a Chance. All I ask is that we are accepted with open arms and that this city can find a way to balance both its old ways and its new. A T ale Of TWO T ales want to be charged for a lesser Crime. But you lied under oath about taking steroids and you deserve to be punished for that. Face the facts, your defense might of caught a break in arguing for a fair trial, but it's to give up. You fought the law and the law is about to win. And stars and athletes can tell you about this decade; it is not paying to break the law. As for Clemens, give up the act. At first I didn't want to voice an opinion against you. But there is evidence and testimony that state that you were lying under oath and you deserve to go under to be in the same seat as Bonds. But now there is a photo of Clemens at the Jose Canseco party in 1998 that he wasn't at according to his testimony. Not just that, there is also testimony by his former friend and trainer Brian McNamee that Clemens approached him shortly afterwards about using steroids. Just looking at the 2000 season of Clemens should be evidence enough that he was using steroids. Early in the season he hit Mike Piazza in the head with a fastball. Then he knocked down Alex Rodriguez and argued about it afterwards. Then in the World Series, Piazza breaks his bat and Clemens throws it in Piazzas general direction clearing the benches as Piazza and Clemens exchanged finger pointing and words. All I am getting at is a clear history of a lack of anger management which is one of many side effects to using the juice. Clemens used it at some point in his life, if not for most of his later career. Now it is^pnly a matter of time before we have a new perjury and obstruction ofjustice case against Clemens. This makes Bonds and Clemens on the same boat of trying to cheat the system, being caught and more than likely failing to get into Cooperstown.

In the field of actors, I was only halfright. I did not expect Marion Cotillard and Tilda Swinton to win Best Actress for Lead and Supporting Roles, respectively. However, I was right to presume who would win for the men, though it was no contest this year. Daniel Day-Lewis is blistering as a lunatic in 'There Will Be Blood' and rightly takes his second Best Lead Actor. In addition, Javier Bardem's performance in 'No Country' is the best this year. He became the first Spaniard to win an Oscar for acting as he earned Best Supporting Actor. Though the Academy robbed 'Ratatouille' of a Best Picture nomination, the Disney/Pixar movie easily won for Best Animated Film. However, it really did not matter. 'No Country' was the guaranteed winner for Best Picture, and did just that. This, the finest work of Joel and Ethan Coen, also won them the Oscar for Best Director. Though there was little surprise in the ceremony, it was f un to watch. It was also great reminder of movies I still need to see. I hope that those who won or just received nominations continue to bring quality entertainment. Saturday night with Levi Levi goes 'Across the Universe1 BY LEVI MARTINEZ Pride Staff Writer Do you ever find yourself scanning the video aisles searching for a movie to satisfy your needs; well, the wait is over. In this column you will find my weekly recommendations on demand, satisfying your every movie desire and much more. "Across the Universe" is a movie that takes the era-defining music of The Beatles and portrays a story of love, passion, and chaos in the form of a musical. Now rather than describe the film chapter by chapter, I will go as far as to say that this film brings classic music to a new age, allowing both admirers from the past to indulge and sing-along while captivating new ones from the present. The main character, Jude, a young adult from Liverpool, travels "across the universe" in search of answers, running into situations and people that change him dramatically. The film utilizes music to define an era of war and radical change in society, but most importantly, it helps illustrate the importance of love and cherishing those special bonds of friendship. The film covers the life of a soldier, musician, artist and revolutionary. The music of The Beatles changed the face of the earth. By creating such a drastic change in people and society, The Beatles did what other bands had never done before. Hopefully this film entices you adequately enough to rent it. It's a must watch and more importantly, you don't want to feel left out at dinner conversations. Improving 'Oscar' nificance that viewers may not understand.

Green Mountain Cidery brews Woodchuck Draft Cider Granny Smith in Middlebury, Vermont. The brewery sits in a valley in the Green Mountains which have peaks over 4,000 feet. The brewery claims to be the #1 producer of premium alcoholic draft ciders in the U.S. They introduced the cider in 1997. The brewery holds multiple awards for its ciders. In addition, ABC Research Corporation in Gainesville, Florida, certified the brewery as gluten-free. The cardboard container holds six lucid green glass bottles. Lime green dominates the majority of the packaging while a forest green accents "edges. A cute little marmota, similar to a squirrel, sits on a rock stuffing his fuzzy cheeks with a granny smith apple on a green plain underneath a light blue sky. The bottles contain the same graphics. A shiny green bottle cap seals a cider with an alcohol by volume of 5%. The six pack retails for $8.99 at BevMo. The cider pours smooth with no head. A thin lace resides as carbonated bubbles rise to the top but are trapped. The cider radiates a golden texture similar to ginger ale. It enters smooth and finishes powerfully, like Brut champagne. The Granny Smith apple infused cider really bites in the end, similarly to eating an actual Granny Smith apple. The cider leaves a little apple flavor on the tongue after passing through to the abyss and beyond. The light and unique flavoring of the cider should pair well with a light lunch e.g. club sandwich and chips, or possibly a dessert e.g. vanilla ice cream.

Raising its joyous hands to the sky, the New Venture Christian Fellowship Choir sang its praises in celebration of Black History Month. Master of Ceremonies and Executive Director of ASI, Darlene Willis, welcomed the crowd in Academic Hall 102 by reminding people to "praise God tonight and know you're going to have a good time." Darlene Willis' son, James C. Willis, had his first public saxophone solo in front of the crowd of about 55 people. Playing "Wavering Stranger," the f ifth grader was applauded by many supporters in the audience. James Willis, however, was not the only young performer Thursday night.

The biggest change for students will be lower fees for summer classes. How much money students save will depend on two things: how many units they take and how they compare the pricing, Last summer, Extended Studies charged $105 per unit. With state funding, summer becomes a regular session like spring or Last year state legislators provided major funding to the CSU system to start converting campuses to year round operations (YRO).

If people have been negatively affected at home, then they might assume that CSUSM is suffering terribly by the electricity crisis as well. Contrary to this notion, Cal State San Marcos is faring better than might be expected.

Weekly Web Mease ReoyoletWs Paper! �The Pride 2 Tuesday, March 6, 2001 Student Clubs Compete with Vendors By: Marlino Bitanga Pride Staff Writer The vendors present during last week's club fundraising took some of the spotlight from oncampus clubs by exhibiting the art of self-employment. Ed Dillard, owner of Remember Them, began his day by hauling more than 1,000 posters and metal signs from the parking lot for his kiosk on Founders Plaza. "I've been in business for 18 years and this is my seventh year full-time," said Dillard. "I like being my own boss because I can work in the middle of the week and it allows .me to present my products to people," he added. After working Monday through Friday, from 9am-5pm and encountering an average of 200-300 prospective consumers each day, Ellen Amoaku, owner of an African artifact boutique, agreed with Dillard's preference for self-employment. "This is my business and it is a very good experience," said Amoaku, "I have been coming here on campus for five years selling African artifacts and jewelry." Despite the changes of selling from campus to campus, various car shows and swap meets, Dillard said that one thing remains the same: "It's easy to get out there and sell, but it's not easy to make money" Gospel Choir Sings »Article cont. from page 1 ASI this spring semester.

The Anime Project Alliance, along with other campus clubs, Jennifer Moon, President ofFuture Educators Club, promoted her club by set up tables on Founders Plaza selling stickers and teacher toolboxes.

"We just wanted to let students know that we want to develop and enhance students' appreciations and understanding of the diverse Hispanic cultures," said Jesus Flores, a member of the Latin World Club. "We are doing everything we can to recruit as many members as possible, but it's hard because most students commute." "Seventeen clubs participated, all at different times and days," said Brad Schmidt, ASI's Club Students also shopped at vendors during club fundraising. Services Technician. Schmidt (Pride Photo/Melanie Addington) added that CSUSM currently has 43 clubs and 24 tables were reserved; clubs reserved 17 tables and vendors reserved seven tables. Clubs are required to register a week in advance if they plan to participate in Club Fundraising Week. "My club does not charge a membership fee, so whatever days ASI gives us, we have to make sure that we register for those days," said Lanese. "Our funds depend on how much we raise from fundraising." Alejandra Sanchez, a member of Ballet Folklorico, said, "There is not enough time and if you miss the registration deadline you can't participate, which is utifair." When asked what she thought about the clubs on campus, sophomore student Leticia Ambriz replied, "I am just looking for something of my interest."

"The Center supports the university-wide writing requirement and exists to serve the entire student body from all colleges: the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Education, and the College of Business." On Monday, February 19, the University Writing Center quietly opened its doors for the spring semester and began the task of helping students achieve their writing goals. Located in Craven Hall 3106, the Writing Center is open Mondays through Thursdays from 9pm to 6pm and on Fridays from 9am to 3pm. The center is closed Saturdays and Sundays. Students sign up for tutoring sessions at the appointment page on the Writing Center web site, www.csusm.edu/f writing__center.

By: James Newell Pride Staff Writer By: Zachary Pugh Pride Staff Writer Where does spectacular writing derive from? What does the pen or keystroke transform into when life intervenes? The truth. The backbone of great writing dwells within the truth of life and the sincerity of the author's opinion. Such questions and statements describe the topics of the Sixth Annual Writer's Symposium by the Sea at Point Loma Nazarene University from February 22-24. The featured speaker on Feb, 22 was world-renowned writer Ray Bradbury, the author of many short stories and various novels, including The Illustrated Man and Fahrenheit 451. Bradbury addressed the young budding writers within the audience. According to Bradbury, to remove the dreaded writer's block one must be aware that "it's obvious that you're doing something wrong . .. you're writing things to benefit the world, to hell with that." . The event continued into the night and the audience listened in anticipation, pondering Bradbury's "The SAT I is a poor predictor of college success and is not tied to curriculum," says Michael Reese, the Vice President of Communications f or UCSD. He says the goals of Atkinson's proposal are to develop a test to raise the standards of college course work by impacting students at the high school level and to have the test be a fair measure across racial and socioeconomic boundaries. Opposition to the proposed changes comes from concern that omission of the SAT I would lower the quality of students admitted to the university level. Already, there are many colleges and universities around the nation that have made WIM scores optional or do not use them Possible Problems with SAT I?

In the interim, while the new test is being developed, UC will use the SAT II.

In addition to these forms of artwork, several custom cars are also on display.

These questions ranged from his current works to his opinions on the craft of writing. Asked his opinion on genetic Elvis, Sock Hops and soda pop were the essence of American culture in the 1950s and 60s. In addition to Rockabilly music and poodle skirts, the "Happy Days" era also gave us a few treasures of American car culture including the Ford Fairlane, the Lincoln Continental and the Cadillac Eldorado. Hot Rods, roadsters and racers revved their engines for the 15th Annual Rod Run on February 17 and 18 in Temecula. The Rod Run is a Temecula tradition that takes place each year, rain or shine, the weekend following Valentine's Day. The city closed traffic through Old Town Temecula and blocked off Front Street, where car owners lined the streets with approximately 800 automobiles ranging from low riders to drag racers to muscle cars. In addition to the cacophonous competitions of engines, the Rod Run offered food, live music and activities for children. The Wine and Beer Garden was one of the congested venues along Front Street. The Temecula Museum and antique shops were also popular sites. Many spectators also enjoyed walking their dogs or chatting with vehicle owners about the various restorations and augmentations of their hot rods. Those who are interested in obtaining information on next year's Rod Run can visit www.temeculacalifornia.com. Pride Radio Airs white flames that span the full length of these walls. His work is also found inside the museum in the form of a wall-sized mural of a scantily clad woman perched atop a flamed-Mercury "hot rod." Another artist, Robert Williams, depicts the "hot rod" culture of the 1950s and 1960s by painting comic-book-like images of customized cars and racing. This illustrates both the style and the potential danger of these types of vehicles. Some of the more commercialized images of hot rods featured in this exhibit come from artists Ed "Big Daddy" Roth and "Coop." Roth's work includes cartoonish characters such as "Rat Fink" at the wheel of flaming, tire-smoking hot rods that appear on t-shirts and posters. Coop's images of devilish women and hot cars are found on album covers and concert posters of bands such as "Everclear" and "Stone By: Sarah Phillips Temple Pilots."

Lynda Koolish, a distinguished professional photographer and English professor, has captured the essence of Black History Month in her photographic exhibit on display in the CSUSM Library. . Her exhibit titled "The Weather of Change and Clear Light," presents portraits of famous African- American writers such as Maya Angelou, Phenomenal Woman; Ernest J. Gaines, A Lesson Before Dying; Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon; Alice Walker, The Color Purple ; and June Jordan, Affirmative Acts: Political Essays. The natural lighting, which Koolish deems so important, truly draws attention to the features of the wise and knowing faces beneath the glass. The lighting in the photographs is natural so that the shadows fall naturally on the faces, causing their features to stand out. The plain backgrounds also draw viewers to these intriguing portraits. We know these writers. We've all read or seen Walker's The Color Purple. When we read one of these books or poems, we may have felt the author's emotion. Koolish's photographs allow us to look into the eyes of one of these accomplished writers and see the pain, the sadness and the joy that these authors have experienced throughout the years. Toni Morrison's portrait is serene. The wrinkles in her face make her look wise and compassionate. The way she looks down makes her seem as if she is smiling at an innocent child, one that knows nothing of racism. Alice Walker, in her portrait, is reading. This is symbolic in the fight against racial views of African Americans. The portrait is cajm as she smiles and sits in a rocking chair. Koolish's portraits look peaceful at first glance, but as we peer deeper into the faces, we can feel the anger and disappointment of a people's history. This exhibit is especially touching, as it's on display during Black History Month. Each photograph was an emotional experience because I knew the literary works of these writers, and I knew that many of them tried or are still trying to change the racist views that some people hold. Lynda Koolish is currently an Associate Professor of English at San Diego State University. She has spent the last 30 years working as a professional photographer, exhibiting her work at the Cork Gallery in Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts; the Rosenberg Gallery of Goucher College; the Salt Lake City Public Library; the Marriot Library of the University of Utah; the San Diego State University Library; and the Ilan-Lael Foundation. The University Press of Mississippi will be publishing a book of her photographs in 2001. People interested in the exhibit are welcome and encouraged to view the photographs firsthand in the CSUSM Library. The exhibit will be open through February 2 8. (Left to right) Clarence Major; June Jordan and Albert Murray photographs are all on display in CSUSM Library. Lynda Koolish presents portraits of famous African Americans in her exhibit.

Devotion is one of the many up-and-coming AsianAmerican groups that are making an impact in the music industry. With its ability to bridge even the most complicated of lyrics into a truly harmonious experience, Devotion brings notoriety and recognition for Filipino-American groups and singers such as Jocelyn Enriquez and KAI. The group is composed of members Richmond Andal, Eric Cruz, Rodney Hildalgo, Ian Pesigan and John- Paul Riturban. First singing for their church in Orange County, the five Los Angeles natives formed the group in 1997 and gained popularity by performing a cappella hits of various pop stars. Now with their own album, Image of Devotion and touring the West coast, the group has an excellent blend of R&B and pop. The group came up with the name Devotion "because of our devotion to family, music and God," Hidalgo explained to the audience. With limited resources at its disposal, the band was able to make a stellar performance without a fancy set or flashing lights. During the concert the quintet performed its hit singles "Another Day," "You're not Alone" and "Need You by My Side." The five musical artists mesmerized the audience with their passionate voices. Throughout the entire program, the crowd was savoring every moment that Devotion was on stage. The concert peaked when Devotion performed the single that garnered its success, "Girl It's You." With each note in synchronous harmony* the performance drew the audience's entire support as they sang along dwelling upon every verse. Cal State San Marcos students who attended the concert gave good reviews. "For an unknown band it was a very well organized concert and listening to them was like actually listening to their CD," said Peter Trinh, a sophomore student and Computer Science major. Most ofDevotion's songs were based on love related themes and the variety of its music was somewhat limited. Unlike other boy bands such as the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC, Devotion, along with other Asian-American bands such as Azn Dreamers, Inner Voices and Voice 5, play to more of a melodramatic audience. While groups such as Devotion tend to focus solely on slower paced songs rather than incorporating intricate dance routines, its amorous lyrics and elegant sounding voices demonstrate that it is not just another boy band.

Smoking On Campus By: Amy Bolaski Pride Staff Writer Recently I spoke with a student who mentioned some comments that had been directed toward her, comments she found rude and unnecessary. This student was smoking, and obviously this offended enough to warrant some not-so-polite commentary. Having been both a smoker and a non-smoker at various times, I too have been privy to the endless litany of rude comments, glares and otherwise obnoxious behavior from non-smokers. On the other hand, I sympathize with those of you who have been on the receiving end of a giant cloud of noxious smoke that's been exhaled directly in your face by someone truly oblivious. But the fact remains that smoking outside is legal in California and all the rude behavior in the world isn't going to change that. I won't waste any time listing the health risks of smoking or the hazards associated with secondhand smoke. Maybe I'm presuming a bit here, but I'll go ahead and acknowledge that we're all familiar with the dangers. That said, it stands to reason that people have the right to defend their health; smokers have the right to smoke. This is an on-going battle, albeit one that takes place under the radar, and one that should be addressed in the specific context of the atmosphere of a college campus. Two years ago, students at Palomar College circulated a petition calling for a smoke-free environment in hopes of bringing the issue before the governing board. The petitions circulated, signatures were collected, but nothing came of it. The issue was not brought up before the governing board and nothing changed. Students still smoke at Palomar and at every other publicly funded university or college. Private schools have the right to designate specific smoking policies (aside from the standard 6-feet-away from the buildings law). I attended Azusa Pacific University, a school that has designated the campus smokefree. Students still smoked, if not on campus, on the periphery of campus, arid it wasn't unusual to ^see people lined up and down the sidewalks, which were used by any number of non-smokers everyday. No matter what the policy, smoke is going to circulate in the air. And, until smoking is rendered an illegal activity, those who ate bothered by it are going to have to deal with it. This niay sound harsh, and I can hear the protests even as I write this. Yes, it's unfair, even offensive to some, but those of you who don't smoke have the right to (politely) ask those lighting up to step aside if they happen to be smoking next to a building, in front of the coffee stand, or right in your face. People gathered in the dome area or congregated on the steps have as much right to stand there and smoke as you do to stand there and gossip. After all, the free speech area gives anyone who wants it the right to tell students they're going to burn in hell for smoking, that all the girls on campus will get all the boys in trouble, that we're all nothing but whore-mongers, "Eves," and purveyors of original sin (as happened this week). I find this sort of behavior completely ridiculous, not to mention ignorant; I imagine it is nothing but offensive to some. I do support the right to be there and say what one will, just as I support anyone who wants to smoke on campus. If it bothers you and you find that you're prone to shooting nasty, looks or disparaging comments toward those who smoke, please realize how unnecessary this is. You can always politely state your'case if you must or y ou. can walk away. I did. The Pride This Week's Question i s about Club Week Don't Have Time to Write a Letter to the Editor but still Want to Voice *; Your Opinion? Check Out Our New Student Survey at: www.csusmpride.com Major Problems, Minor Solutions By: J. Ryan Sandahl Pride Staff Writer I recently had a discussion with my father about the current energy crisis in Southern California. During the discussion, he told me he had read a newsletter from an environmentalist who works in northern California. In the newsletter, the environmentalist explained that if people made minor changes in their energy use, the problem would go away. For example, if every person changed the light bulbs in their house to fluorescent, the energy problem would solve itself. Fluorescent light bulbs do cost more, but they last much longer than regular light bulbs and use much less energy to run. The government is advocating spending several million dollars building more power plants to solve the energy problem, and, for the most part, people are accepting that. In some cases, these ugly power plants have to be built in people's backyards. Most people do not seem to mind this, of course, because this is a solution to a big problem California is facing and the government is stepping in to resolve it. If instead, the government were to buy the entire State of California fluorescent light bulbs for people to change, they would spend only one-tenth of what they will spend to build the ugly power plants. This will save the government a lot of money and people will not have ugly power plants in their back yards. Would this work? Theoretically yes. But unfortunately, most people will not accept it because they are lazy. "It's too much work to put all the fluorescent lights in," they would say. When a light bulb burns out, what do you do? You put in another one. It takes about thirty seconds. Add up all the lights in your house and we're talking maybe a twenty-minute job. Twenty or so minutes and the energy crisis would end. Of course people would have to get used to "white" light in their house, which they eventually would. "Oh we don't like the light," people will say. Well it's white light, or it's no light, because eventually power will run out and then we'll be lighting candles. Hmm, maybe white light is better. And I hear the government is offering refunds on the purchase of fluorescent light bulbs. Another item the environmentalist suggested was a showerhead. This particular shower head puts out less of a blast of water than a normal shower head, thus saving water, and in theroy, conserving the amount of engery your water heater would use to generate the hot water it is putting out to all the faucets iii your house. This would replace a normal showerhead and save both energy the hot water heater uses to heat the water and water-two things that are scarcities in Southern California. Would this work? Again, yes. But people are too lazy t o replace the showerheads in their homes as well. So we're back to square one, which is building the ugly power plants and spending more money than we should on a problem that could be more easily solved. This is because people today would rather consume than conserve. For example, the prices at the pump continue to go up and people gripe and complain about it, but what do they do? They still pump the gas. Don't bother with carpooling or riding bicycles or anything, just pay more and get the gas. Well what happens when the oil runs out— which apparently is supposed to happen in about 50 years if we continue on the wasteful consumption we are currently using? Electric cars are in the near future. I was fascinated by the conversation my father and I had, and I was reminded of the ancient Chinese proverb, "We did not inherit the earth [and it's natural resources in this case] f rom our ancestors, _we are only borrowing it from our children." It seems, from this conversation, that our children are going to suffer because we are consuming all of their resources. HAVE AN OPINION?

Cal-ISO controls the distribution of electricity in California. Its home page provides no interesting information at all, and the same can be said for almost the entirety of the Cal-ISO pages. To make matters worse, large amounts of indecipherable and irrelevant data is mostly stored inv PDF format, making for inconvenient reading and navigation of the web pages. However, the www.caiso.com/ SystemStatus.html page is the only exception, where a chart provides a display of the expected power usage of the state throughout the day and a regularly updated display of the actual power usage. This is the place to check if you are curious about how much electricity is being used in California. With all the discussion of Stage Two and Stage Three alerts and rolling blackouts, it is interesting to see displays of the real demand for electricity. Perhaps the most interesting information is what does not show up on the Cal-ISO web sight at all: the difference between the generating capacity and the demand. The demand is displayed in the chart on www.caiso.com/ SystemStatus.html; however, the generating capacity cannot be determined on that page. The difference between the generating capacity and the demand is what causes the alerts and rolling blackouts. There are listings of generating stations that are not functioning, but the Cal-ISO does not list the output of the power plants. The nature of the information presented by the Cal-ISO is fairly dry; nevertheless, the manner in which it is displayed on,the www.caiso.com web pages could be improved significantly, as the current system leaves a great deal to be desired.

Dr. Janet Powell, President of the local chapter of the CFA, said, "We feel very confident this vote will pass statewide." All faculty members who belong to the CFA can vote two separate ways. On March 5, the faculty will be able to vote in front of Kellogg Library. The CFA will also accept voting through email but can not guarantee anonymity. Once the voting is finished, CSUSM should know by Monday, March 19 if and when the CFA will go on strike. If the CFA chooses to strike, they will do so simultaneously with at least three Cal State Universities. The order and days of which the CFA schedules the strikes is unknown. Faculty members could go on strike "on any given Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday" said Dr. Powell. If after the CFA takes part in strikes across the California, and the Chancellor's office still withholds a fair contract for faculty, the CFA could chose to continue the strike. Dr. Powell added, "The pressure is on the Chancellor and Board of Trustees without hurting the students. We don't want to leave students out there. If we could do something else, we would." During last Friday's ASI meeting, ASI made a resolution on the CFA and CSU collective bargaining. Vice President of External Affairs, Jeremy 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 See CFA, page 2 30 Seconds to Mars lead singer Jared Leto performs in front of a large audience their hit song, "The Kill" at 2007 Rockstar Taste Of C haOS II Photo by Amanda Andreen / The Pride The Pride goes back stage at the 2007 Rockstar Taste of Chaos Tour SEE full coverage in ME, page 12 Historical Tukwut courtyard dedication to be held this week On Thursday, March 1, during university hour, Cal State San Marcos will be dedicating the Courtyard outside of Cougar Central on the third floor of Craven Hall as the Tukwut Courtyard. Tukwut (pronounced "TOOK-woot") is the Luiseno word for inountaifi lion. According to an article written by adjunct faculty member Brendon Cesmat, this word was given to Cal State S an Marcos by a Luiseno elder and adopted by the first graduating class of CSUSM as an unofficial mascot. In 1998, when the official mascot was chosen, The Pride / File Photo This courtyard just outside of Tukwut was not on the ballot, Cougar Central will be officially considered t oo difficult to p ronounce by then university presdedicated as Tukwut Courtyard. BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer CSUSM's S ocial a nd B ehavioral R esearch I nstitute t o p ermanently c lose in J une BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer In 1994, Dr. Richard Serpe put his efforts toward creating the Social and Behavioral Research Institute of CSUSM. Since then, SBRI has completed studies integral to the health and well being of the public on both national and local levels. On June 30, due to the strategic plan of the university and to the lack of finances, CSUSM's institute will close. Director of Research, Allen Risley, joined Dr. Serpe in 1994 to build the SBRI into what it has become today. Risley said, "The marketplace is very competitive to get research projects and the costs of research projects." Risley added, "I will miss work. These projects make a difference in the community." The institute has completed thousands of studies on social behavior. Some of those studies include health care for diabetics, victimization, compulsive shopping, childhood obesity and the public opinion in Carlsbad. See SBRIi page 3 ident Alex Gonzalez. Cesmat said, "The spirit of Tukwut has haunted the campus ever since the former administration denied Tukwut its opportunity at the ballot box." Associated Student President Roy Lee agreed, "Tukwut was a sensitive subject because we (students, faculty, administration and s taff) were not sure if the Luiseno people were okay with us utilizing the word a fter Cougar replaced it as our official mascot." Tribal Liaison Bonnie Biggs said that steps have been taken in the right direction to reclaim this g ift given nearly 17 years ago, and t hat ASI and the s tudents on campus have been giving it the respect and recognition it r ightfully deserves. Lee said, "ASI, as the official student voice, has made a statement to reclaim Tukwut as a g ift and acknowledge its significant meaning and history. We embrace Tukwut and hope that all students, faculty, adminisr tration, s taff and the community take ownership of it and develop the meaning of Tukwut for themselves as a person at CSUSM." Hunwut Turner, Rincon band member, director of the Rincon Education Center and Luiseno person, commended the e fforts, " This is a step forward to the See TUKWUT, page 2 Date to remember Thurs.

Also, if you have gotten a tattoo in the past 12 months, you can temporarily not donate." Schtite a dded, r "Every two seconds, someone in America needs blood. In Southern California, donating blood is so important because only three percent of Southern California's population donates. The amount of blood actually donated is one pint. The adult body contains 10 to 12 pints. So by donating you will be someone's hero- you may give a newborn, a child, a mother or a father, a brother, or a sister another chance at life. In fact, you may help save up to three lives With jùst one donation." For any f urther questions, the Pre-Health Society will be available at their sign up table this week, Monday through Thursday, during University Hour. titaéigiîèâ ' SâÉo&tfc- f spèsene „V -iMfám f ite 'I Üte': ^ i t e n From CFA, page 1 l ielnltâ 3ir t elephmé, either side walks out of that meetmtû iâmtiftcztiùm. -Lcftiír*- spins it and so it's very ing and Äaif N pmigt hard for us to get away from the emotional pleas and get down to fcf nnû^t^êmpiS the nitty-gritty of what the busiviai i t o ^ i ^ ; M ness is all about.

The Courtyard Dedication Ceremony will include a blessing by a Luisefio elder, a message f rom ASI president Roy Lee, and live Luisefio music sung in the native language. Biggs says, "Some say these songs have been around for 10,000 years." The day's eyents will o ffer a unique oppor- tunity for students to learn more about the Luisefio culture and to pay respect to those who came before them.

Another dream is to get a mountain lion statue, but that will depend on f unding and private donations, and is not something that will happen in the immediate f uture.

As a student, I would like to know From SBRI, page 1 Sometimes, the SBRI will publish a report for their clients. Other times, SBRTs clients will create and publish a report based off of the information they'll receive from the SBRI. Risley said, "Helping to improve the quality of life for someone is the work we do." Risley will also miss what he described as, "The puzzles of doing research." Learning how and when to probe for answers from survey participants is considered the main challenge for new employees. But the puzzle of research remains in how to sort through and combine the information from the study to create a thorough and coherent report for SBRI's clients. Research Assistant William Andersen and Director of Operations Lori Brown Large agree, along with Lab Supervisor Jennifer Holmes agree that the closing of the SBRI will immediately create a void. "I think it's sad. Our work is to improve life for individuals and [SBRI's closing is] going to create a gap between the university and community," said Holmes. Currently, 65 employees work at the SBRI. 28 of the employees are CSUSM students. 10 of the employees make up a combination of Palomar students and high school students. In the past, the SBRI has employed up to 20 high school students at one time, making SBRI the only work place for high school students to work on the CSUSM campus. The rest of the employees at SBRI said they had the opportunity to watch the high school students grow. Large said, "One year, we got to see nine out of ten high school students go off to four year universities." Risley believed most of the high school stu- if she is involved in things like campus safety and being more available to the concerns of students." Philip Klinger, a graduating senior and Communication major said, "President Haynes has been an excellent leader and mentor to the students of San Marcos State University. Her idea of a hard work ethic for ultimate success on multiple levels has brought new light to my own ambitions, forcing me to look at distant dreams and turning them into short term realities. If I could say only one thing about Dr. Karen Haynes it would be her love of education reflected on the students of this campus that makes San Marcos State such a powerhouse for academi- cally elite knowledge." CSUSM alum, Patrick B. Long, said, ' In an overall score of the president's review I would give her an overall positive review. In the matter of decision making and effective planning, President Haynes has done a fairly good job. Also, her involvement in community relations has been adequate to achieve a passing review. In my mind, however, she has to work on her involvement with students, faculty, and staff on campus." To see the Chancellor's memo in full, please see www.fliecsusmpride.com. The Chancellor's office will be accepting lettersfromCSUSM students until Thursday, March 15. dents' learning took place in the interviews they conducted for research. "[In] talking to people, you see them gaining perspective on who the rest of the world is." Large believes employees are slightly more affected from the closure of SBRI than the students. "[The students] will have to find something else. Some of our researchers will stay here but the rest of us will have to find new jobs and move on." When speaking of the employees, Large said, "They love what they do and will have to find something else." Large said that she will miss "the mentoring aspect of it. Not just mentoring students but employees. This Photo by Kelly Corrigan / The Pride is home."

I tó < mmâ;ym m — —í •. -, 1 û ì ) ¡MM �Website of the Week BY TIFFANIE HOANG Pride Staff Writer The new search engine, ChaCha, created by Scott Jones and Brad Bostic, aims to provide the public with a uniquely enhanced search tool, unlike any other search engine before. In using what the website is calling "the World's most powerful technology tool- the human brain," ChaCha's intent is to provide an improved search experience by integrating what their best computer-generated search results are with the results that are handpicked by human guides. The searchengine continuously "learns" through the aid of human intelligence and is therefore constantly improving. If the basic search is not satisfying particular requirements, the website connects the user with a "live human guide who will find the information for you through an instant messagingstyle search session"— all entirely free. The website is named so, primarily because the word "cha" means "search" in Chinese and secondly because the Cha-Cha is a popular Cuban-based dance with a particularly fast pace. ChaCha is a Beta-based website, meaning that it is at a stage where the software is technically complete with advanced features and should be strong enough to complete most ordinary uses. Beta which is short for "Beta-test," also stands for "p," the second letter ofthe Greek alphabet coming after Alpha. Alpha tests are usually not feature complete and are commonly more unstable than Beta tests. The website is beneficial to students in two aspects. First, it allows for a personalized search, where students are able to communicate one-on-one with an experienced guide. Such accessibility paves an easier path to acquiring the useful information needed without having to sort through irrelevant M PVI P NI Road to graduation search results. The personalized searching also helps with detailed research in which students must find scholarly sources concerning specifically itemized subjects which might otherwise be difficult to find. Secondly, students that are experienced enough to become a "ChaCha Guide," must join the ChaCha Underground (an already existing community for current ChaCha guides) and be invited by a ChaCha guide who is at the Master Level. According to the website, ChaCha guides earn between "$5-10 per search hour based on performance. With a computer and a broadband Internet connection, Guides can work whenever and wherever they choose." This type of job is especially convenient for students because of the flexible work hours and being able to work from home. Students who already have an existing website and wish to draw in more traffic can use ChaCha's Adagent service that costs $25 to start up. The website states that ChaCha Adagent is "a true cost per click advertising medium that allows you to optimize your reach by optimizing search. This is a performance-based advertising program that allows you to bid on your category so your ad is matched with your site to achieve the highest click-through rates," as explained in ChaCha's informational section. Students can choose which categories they want and the ChaCha Adagent makes sure that it is seen by the people whom students wish to target. ChaCha also has a blog to promote the difference of their search engine. The blog allows users to obtain information about ChaCha that is not widely known, updated news on the website, success stories and comments by the creators of ChaCha. If students wish to learn more about the website or talk to a guide, go to www.chacha.com. HMHHHP GradFest will be held at the Clark Field House Grand Salon.

It was becoming clear that someone in the jam-packed car was not too sure of the exact location of the base camp outside of M'Hamid.

I had chosen to visit this mysterious part of the world not only to experience its beauty, but also to discover its vastly different cultures, and to do this, I decided to take some excursions with a locally run tour company. This particular trip started in Ooarzazarte - a small town $i£u$ted gained a new depth of frustration as our Tuareg guide, Najib, tried to communicate his instructions to Abdul the driver.

There is nothing like traversing the red sands on a camel t o really feel immersed in a different mindset, and it is very easy to organize. There are numerous companies, both local and international, that have superb deals for a complete Saharan adventure, and most of them will offer the same trip that I experienced. All you need to take with you is an open mind - what you will bring back is a new understanding of another culture, yourself and immense satisfaction. �Spring is here and the Records fall at CSUSM Padres prepare for success women's golf tourney BY JEREMY ALBERS Pride Staff Writer Get your peanuts, crackerjacks here! It's the smell of the .grass, the crack of the bat; baseball is on the way. Pitchers and catchers reported to camp February 15 to open spring training 2007. Before the Valentine's Day flowers have wilted, baseball teams are gathéring in Arizona and Florida to get loose for a grueling 162 game schedule. Spring training is a time of hope for f ans of every team. Payroll aside, every organization starts out even. And there is always a chance to catch lightning in a bottle like the 2003 Florida Marlins, or last years Detroit Tigers. There are questions and a bit of drama going into the 2007 season The Chicago Cubs, perennial chokers, invested an extra $30 million in their roster in an attempt to break a 98 year championship drought. Last year they lost 96 games and finished in last place in the weakest division in baseball, the NL Central. The Cardinals, eventual World Series winners, won a paltry 83 games. That's five games less than any other first place club. This off season the Cubs front office concentrated on some key pieces that could allow them to win quickly. Alphonso Soriano was signed to play centerfield for a measly $136 million over eight years. It will be a n experiment for the recently departed 2B. Last year there were mixed results defensively as Soriano played leftfield in Washington. The Cubs also added fiery manager Lou Pinella. f amous,for his attitude, track record, and pension for f ace-offs with the umpire. Message to National League umpires: bring your sneeze guard unless you want Pinella's spittle all over you. Will the Cubs break the "Curse of the Billy G oat"? The New York Yankees provide the drama. As usual, the soap opera of the Yankees organization started early this year. The big money Yanks, who haven't won a title since '00, were uncharacteristically quiet with acquisitions this off season. Other than the losses of 43 yearold Randy Johnson and 38 year-old Gary Sheffield, the Yankees didn't do much other than get younger. Then starting pitcher Mike Mussina questioned o ften injured pitcher Carl Pavano's heart. The best post season closer in baseball his- tory Mariano Rivera, i s disgruntled with his contract situation. Long time Yankee hero Bernie Williams, denied a minor league contract offer from t he,team. Two-time MVP (and playoff goat the last few years ) Alex Rodriguez and his one time best buddy Derek Jeter aren't going t o dinner and having sleepovers any more. Why A-Rod felt like disclosing this to the public is a little odd but it gives the Yankees continuity in one area, turmoil. Will Barry Bonds break Hank Aaron's home r un record? He is 22 behind and barring injury it looks like a lock on paper. Bonds hasn't hit less than 25 HR in a f ull season since 1989. The swirling allegations of steroid use and looming p erjury charges have painted Bonds as a villain; taking the home r un record f rom one of the most respected players in the history of the game. It is so ugly that MLB Commissioner Bud Selig has contemplated skipping the game when Bonds breaks of one of the most hallowed records in all of sports. The Padres have a new manager in SDSU product, Bud Black. The 12 year r un for the Padres Manager Bruce Bochy is over, ending his association with the organization since 1983. San Diego brought Marcus Giles in to play with big brother Brian on their hometown team. The Giles are from El Cajon. The Padres also added a young slugging third baseman by trading promising rookie Josh Barfield. Kyle Kouzmanoff has the sweet right handed power stroke that General Manager Kevin Towers has % been looking for at 3B. Greg Maddux brings his 333 wins and immeasurable wisdom to an already solid staff. Jake Peavy will t ry to bounce back from a sub-par year that saw his ERA j ump by more than a f ull r un and 6'10" pitcher Chris Young will try to build off his solid first year in San Diego. The Yale grad, led all of baseball in opponents batting average against last year. David Wells is back in a Padre uniform, back in his hometown. Wells hails f rom Point Loma, has 230 career victories, and is good for at least one bar fight per season. When the Padres let Dave Roberts and his 49 stolen bases migrate north to SF they opened a glaring hole in the leadoff spot. Will the Padres win the NL West for the third straight year? We shall see. BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer With poor conditions at the Lake San Marcos Country Club, the women's golf team had a battle on their hands. Senior Jennell French set a new school record by recording her third victory in individual scoring. French and the rest of the women's golf team had their struggles through the course. With poor conditions on the golf course, scores were higher than usual. French finished with a +6 and managed to stay ahead of the field of 67. As a team, the Lady Cougars shot a +48, finishing 5 shots behind the winning school, Embry-Riddle. Sophomore Danielle Pierce, senior Christina Austin, junior Cary Ludwig and junior Adriana Bormann helped lead the team to 6th place by finishing in the top-40. The men's golf team took a one-stroke lead in the first round and held off Point Loma Nazarene to win the Cal State San Marcos Invitational by one stroke. Junior Matt Determan helped lead the fight by tying UCLA's Lucas Lee for second place in individual scoring. Determan shot five under par in the final two rounds to finish with a +4 at San Luis Rey Downs. Following Determan was Junior Scott Conway who shot a +8 and tied Concordia's Tomas Gutierrez for Th place. Competing in his first tournament this season, Junior Markus Wendel made a 10th place debut finishing with a +12. Freshman Kevin Riley made a big impact shooting a 74 in the final round to finish tied for 15h place with fellow teammate, Junior Brandon Scolman who finished the tournament with back-to-back 75s. The! men's team won their first tournament*!^ the season and will look to continue their strong play. The women's team looks to recoup from the wet conditions and take aim towards nationals. Both teams now are preparing for the Point Loma Nazarene Tournament on March 4-6 at Steele Canyon Country Club. �Last week's key: College Courtesy of The Pride ACROSS 3 Impossible is nothing. 4 Great - comes from happy cows.

That's why I can sympathize with college football players who have to take the Wonderlic test at the NFL scouting combine. The test isn't terribly hard if you're an average college student. There lies the problem, however, since football players tend to spend more time in the weight room than in the library. The Wonderlic test consists of 50 questions in basic math and problem solving that need to be answered in 12 minutes. A score of 20 is considered to be an average score and a score of 10 indicates literacy. Frankly, I don't see how the Wonderlic test is appropriate for measuring how smart of an investment a player will be for an NFL team. Just look at Vince Young, who reportedly scored a six, and made the pro bowl in his rookie season. That is why I have devised my own test, which I call the Sandovalic. An etfkmple of a question on the Wonderlic test is: "Paper sells for 21 cents per pad. What will four pads cost?" I can understand how it might be difficult for an offensive tackle to figure out the answer is 84 cents. That is why the Sandovalic test tailors questions towards situations that may occur for an NFL player. In the Sandovalic test, however, a player doesn't know that a correct answer is a bad thing. The Sandovalic version of that last question is: "One gram of weed sells for 20 dollars/What is 5 grams worth?" Answer: An awesome high. Wonderlic question: "A train travels 20 feet in 1/5 second. At the same speed, how many feet will it travel in three seconds?" The answer: 300 feet. Sandovalic question: "Your limo takes you from San Diego to Las Vegas in five hours. Your private jet does it in 1/5 the time. How long does it take your j et?" The answer: Who cares? Life is pretty good either way. Wonderlic question: "A boy is 17 years old and his sister is twice as old. When the boy is 23 years old, what will be the age of his sister?" The answer: 40. Sandovalic question: "If you're 23 years old when you get your third strike, how old will you be when your sentence is over?" Answer: Doesn't matter, I won't get caught. Wonderlic question: "What is the ninth month of the year?" I don't think I should have to tell anyone this answer but just incase, it's September. Sandovalic question: "If you make $8 million dollars per year, how much will you be paid per month?" Answer: Enough for a new car each month. Wonderlic question: "Tom greeted Beth. Beth greeted Dawn. Tom did not greet Dawn. Assume the first two sentences are true. Is the final one true, false or not certain?" Answer: Not certain. Sandovalic question: "The linebacker tried to beat up the cop, The cop shot the linebacker. The linebacker was at fault. Assume the first two sentences are true. Is the final one true, false or not certain?" The answer: Only Steve Foley and Aaron Mansker.. .1 mean, only the linebacker and cop will know and the j ury will decide. If a player answers the Sandovalic questions correctly it gives NFL teams a better indication that a player is not a good investment more so than the Wonderlic questions.

Leibovitz's decision to combine the varying dynamics of her life into pne book wa$ based on her notion that her professional life and personal life are not two separate lives, but one life, innately intertwined with all the characters and events that make it up.. Organized by the Brooklyn Museum, the exhibition reflects Liebovitz's photographic life as a whole. The first photograph, you'll encounter is that of Wadi Rum, Jordan - one of Annie Leibovitz's most notable landscape photographs. Then there is the photograph of the poised Demi Moore, pregnant with Scout Larue Willis. This image, revolutionary in 1991, boldly revealed what many wanted to cover up. Leibovitz's photographs are as much about the human form as they are about human loss, love, pain and success. The energy of her subjects reach beyond the photographs themselves. Leibovitz captures the assertive expression of General Schwarzkopf as she similarly did Currently on display at the San in the 1991 photograph of General Diego Museum of Art is the exhiColin Powell, then Chairman of bition, "Annie Leibovitz: A Phothe Joint Cheifs of Staff. Powell's tographer's Life, 1990-2005." The eyes reveal that his composure did photographic work Leibovitz did not come without effort. for magazines, her relationship Leibovitz captures the nervous with Susan Sontag, and her parenergy of playwright Tony Kushents' lives in Long Island are all ner and the confidence of Robert a part of it. Leibovitz's book, "A De Niro. At once we can connect Photographer's Life: 1990 - 2005," with Mick Jagger's heavy gaze or coincides with the exhibition. Joan Didion's intrusive glare. Excerpts from the book are placed In Leibovitz's photograph of next to several of the images in Michael Moore at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in 2004, Moore stands with three of his staff members, Bernardo Loyola, Kirsten Johnson and Gabriel Monts. Wearing t-shirts and jeans, they're surrounded by technical equipment stacked on the floor. Johnson and Loyola are armed with cameras. Monts supports a lighting fixture with his arms. Moore stands with both hands in his jacket pockets, with that spark in his eye, insisting he has something to say and that he wants us to hear i t In Leibovitz's photograph of Oseola McCarty, a philanthropist and washerwoman, McCarty's head is tilted slightly, smiling, as if she were inviting you to her. It's not that you, as a viewer, have a relationship with the people in these photographs, but you do experience t hefnr" The family photographs, though smaller in scale compared to the others, portray Leibovitz's own family In a beach scene, LeiboTop: "Susan at the house on Hedges Lane, Wainscott, Long Island, vitz's mom dances before the waves 1988." Bottom: "My parents with my sisters Paula and Barbara and with her grandson;further down Paula's son Ross, Peter's Pond Beach, Wainscott, Long Island, 1992." Beer of the Week Photos courtesy of Annie Leibovitz "Jamie Foxx, Culver Studios, Culver City, California, 2004." the wall, Leibovitz's brother feeds his baby daughter a bottle beside the pool as his father looks on. In another photograph, Leibovitz captures a candid morning scene in her parents' kitchen as her mother, wearing a bathing suit, as she is in most photos, prepares breakfast as Leibovitz's father reads the morning paper. I thought that these family photographs in the exhibit deserve more space; at least for us to move around in and become lost in our own days spent with family in arbitrary conversation around the table, beside the pool, or huddled around a new baby. Chi a wall adjacent to the young actress Scarlet Johansson and the talented Jaime Foxx, is Susan Sontag, at peace in her coffin. The photographs are arranged chronologically from 1990 through 2005 subtly noting the overlap of Leibovitz's own life markers and work Fat Tire BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer New Belgium brews the whimsical Fat Tire in Fort Collins, Colorado. Husband Jeff Lebesch and wife Kim Lebesch founded the company and chose to operate the company under a creative employee-owner business model in 1991. The company functions in an open-book manner and all employees have .complete access to accounting information. New Belgium practices many environmentally friendly concepts, with a continual focus on reducing, reusing and recycling the byproducts of brewing, and is committed to giving back to local communities. For each barrel of brew sold, they donate one dollar. Since 1991, they have donated over two million dollars t o non-profit char- . ities. The success of New Belgium has led to a great line of awesome brews including Fat Tire. Fat Tire, an amber ale, was crer ated after Lebesch toured Belgium on bicycle. He chose to name the brew Fat Tire in memory of his trek. Lebesch visited breweries all over Belgium. When he arrived home, Lebesch began working on Fat Tire with the recipes he had created while on a bicycle trip in Belgium. The simplicity of the blue and red packaging of the ale contrasts with its comical name. The beer has an alcohol by volume of 5.2 per- cent. The bottles are shaped like a common glass beer bottle; however, the company has \ designed a glass necklace style neck for the bottle, distinguishing it from those that are I mass produced. I The ale gives a strong aroma of biscuits I and has a bold sent that leaves the nosj i t rils wanting more answers that can only K be solved by tasting. A quick gulp sends * a surge of flavor t o the t aste buds. The taste buds search for more answers as they hold an election and vote for Fat Tire. Malts and hops comprise the ale. A fter the complete disappearance of the contents inside the bottle, the mouth is glazed over with remnants of the ale. The company's website suggests the ale be consumed with salmon, dry-aged cheeses, roasted chilies, omelets at midnight, sweet potato French fries, and other grilled and garlic items. Not caring for fish or having time to grill, I consumed the* ale with a thick, cheesy slice of pizza. The combo was perfect. So, next time you hop on your bike, throw on your Cougar hat, go to the nearest grocery store, and don't forget to pick up a six pack of Fat Tire.

What' is perhaps most interesting about the exhibit is that Leibovitz is successful in observing and pulling something from beneath the surface of so many people - yet in the most intimate photographs of Susan Sontag, whether she is suffering in a hospital bed, or sitting in a couch staring intently into the camera, we are still left without a solid grasp of who she was underneath her serious, dissatisfied stare. The success in this exhibit lies within the presence of Leibovtz's subjects whom she has made immediate to us. When her subject does not fully lend themselves to her, at least she provides us wiih a hint as to what they are thinking and feeling. What we do not know about the subjects in the photographs, we do not need to know, because slightly, yet sufficiently, we understand. Drink of the Week L<§tx)ÖD Drop BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer Ah, the lemon - oh, infinitely u seful f ruit. Paired with poppy seeds, cranberries, or simply sugar, the precocious lemon lends its zing to everything f rom soups to pies, savory entrees to sweet treats. Lemon drop cookies are a particular favorite of mine, a doughy version of the candy of the same name. Hard, round, o ften lemon-shaped, and covered with confectioner's sugar, lemon drop candies are a classic candy favorite. The flavor is t art and bright; making one's mouth water and lips pucker. This distinctive sensation lends itself beautifully to the Lemon Drop cocktail. Comprised of 1 1/2 ounce vodka (I use Absolut Citron), 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1/4 lemon, the Lemon Drop is a delightfully refreshing little gem. Slice the 1/4 lemon into two wedges and toss them in a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice. Pour in the vodka, add the sugar, shake and strain into a cocktail glass rimmed with sugar, and pucker up! �7i nnrart ÜU f / U ü f 1 f Pûl//ûU/ f Aw r / v r r i S ^^ " J BL A J L jp r * Members of 30 Seconds to Mars sign autographs at booth signing.

What was once a tangled mass of steel girders and plastic cover sheets last year has been replaced by a bustling collection of professor's and department's offices with stylish, modern classrooms. It's sudden, and to some, unexpected appearance was followed by a flurry of gossip and nay-saying rumors by staff and students, some of whom had still heard little or no official news about the new building. During the fall 2005 semester, many students remained unaware, or at least unmoved, by the large and active construction See PARKING, page 3 See BUSINESS, page 5 mmo mim$pmxtmMmm ' irsoi m*im m^^^w « S j -«^ggj ÍifMMkriÉíiiÉil láiíiniiíaii í " T T T I — T |ïïiflTn 11 ~ W mmm.

The Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender and Allies , Student Organization keeps a low profile to avoid risks of being further alienated from campus life. The LGBTA has been active on campus for about three years and has about approximately five to ten active members. Even for a smaller campus,fiveactive members is noticeably low. One explanation for this lack of participation, according to the LGBTA members, is due to many students, who identify or associate with the LGBTA, feeling reluctant to 'come out' to other students.

As for hate crimes on campus, By his understanding, LBGTA "we haven't really had any," said President Albert Gengaling takes Miller. There have been three incidents involving minority groups in the last two years, all recorded as 'minor'.'The most recent was written in ink in a men's restroom. It is still unclear what the vandal meant by the words, "sauce bag". Another incident was afightin the parking lot of a Women's Studies dance that took place almost a year ago. The LGBTA's banner was also stolen. Other than these reported incidents, the University Police Department does not have an extensive record of hate crimes committed on campus. While the LGBTA students may feel uncomfortable on campus, there haven't been any official threats. "I don't have any reason to believe that LGBTA students are at a higher risk of mistreatment, however, if anyone has something to report, we'd gladly take it," said Miller. Perhaps awareness is as much a factor as reluctance, suggests CSUSM student, Heather McKown. "I've never heard of it(LGBTA), but I would definitely go to a gender bender."

Counseling was selected for the month of February, thefirstmonth of the series, because a majority of the Human Development majors have an emphasis in counseling. The free lectures that the club sponsors are designed to show students their career options, and to help direct them through their necessary steps. The events are typically either fundraisers or activities designed to contribute to a community. Some of the events include the MS walk, the Nami walk, volunteering for North County Life Line, and team building exercises at a ropes course in Big Bear. The club is also looking into volunteering at The Woman's Resource Center in Oceanside, and hopes to give a about students speeding through Lot E in order to make it to the back lot, Lot H. The Parking and Transportation Service Office, which is located in the middle of both Lot E and H, have seen pedestrians nearly hit and have witnessed intense disputes over parking. With an increased number of spots taken away from the students, many anticipate that even more competition over what little parking is now available to students. "They're slowly kicking us all out to the dirt lot," said Gal State San Marcos student, Brittany Thomas. Another CSUSM student, Kristina Moore, expressed her disapproval stating, "The faculty have a whole other lot, Lot E, and it's never full."

For aflatdiscounted fee of $25 dollars, students can receive help with vehicle unlocks, dead batteries, and spare tire mountings. By contacting University Police, through either any campus phone, or using the blue emergency phones which are always a direct line to campus police, located in every parking lot, students can be connected with Red Line Towing. Red Line will respond promptly to the parking lot within approximately 20 minutes. Students will have to decide for themselves the value of this service, due to the large fee of $25 for simpler services like unlocking a vehicle. Nonetheless, if a student is running late and lacks both the capacity and desire to change your spare or jump a battery, $25 is a small price to pay. "I don't think I would ever personally use the service, while my girlfriend will no doubt be calling regularly," said student Anthony Calloway. He continued to say that "If she (Calloway's girlfriend) spent $25 getting Red Line to unlock her doors, instead of calling me for her spares, I think ! would be a little upset at her wasting the money." "Red Line Towing has not been placed on any type of retainer fee paid by the university; this is just the best deal we found for students, after we shopped around for services in the area," mentioned Lieutenant Doug Miller of the University Police Department. Students should keep in mind that the person receiving the services will befinanciallyresponsible for all work done, at the time services are rendered. So far, there has been a negative response from students concerning the sixteen spots now designated for the faculty and staff. Despite the negative remarks, Holmes remains hopeful for the future. By Fall 2006, there will be a new lot added next to Lot H and it will be general parking for students. Eventually, Campus View Drive, the street leading to Lot E, will continue south, wrapping behind the faculty parking lot. "The new lot will be called Lot F, and it will include about 1500 new spaces," said Holmes. She also added that students will have to go through that new lot in order to gain access to Lot H. Drivers will not be able to access Lot H through Lot E. Hopefully, this new change will not be a huge inconvenience for students, especially those who are night students, added Holmes. Thankfully, in the near future students can look forward to a new student lot that will alleviate the troubles of having to share the few available spaces.

In the past, dances have been hosted at the Escondido Center for Performing Arts as well as Pechanga Casino, but when planning for this years' event, Schroeder anticipated that it would be fun to party in a 'club-like' venue rather than a formal one. "Hard Rock Café was fun, but the maximum capacity is 50," said Schroeder. "Canes has the same kind of environment and vibe as Hard Rock Café, yet Canes holds up to 800 people." The Spring Fling is free to CSUSM students with a valid student ID, courtesy of ASI funding. Guests are welcome to attend for a nominal fee of $5. All attendees must obtain tickets in advance to attend, since tickets will not be sold or available at the door. "Students are advised to get their tickets ASAP," suggested Schroeder. The last day to get tickets is Thursday, March 9, at 4:00 p.m. "It is important for students to know the name on the ticket must match an ID RESEARCH,frompage 1 tion will be held simultaneously in three separate rooms. Biological research and other sciences will be held in UNIV 257, psychology in UNIV 237, and all other presentations in UNIV 373. Judges are chosen based on their areas of expertise, aligning judges appropriately with the subject matter in the projects, said Collins. Immediately after the competition, the judges will compile scores and select finalists, which will be announced on March 6. CSUSMfinalistsare determined by the same criteria used for the state competition. The written and oral aspects of the research projects are evaluated via the following criteria: clarity Of purpose, appropriateness of methodology, interpretation of results, value of the research or creative activity, ability of the presenter to articulate the research or creative activity to a card upon entering," added Schroeder. As for the dress code, "there is no strict dress code for this event," said Schroeder; however, Schroeder suggests dressing in clublike attire or appropriately for such a special event. Although Canes is a bar, the event is not only for the 21 and up crowd. All students are welcome to attend, regardless of age. Alcoholic beverages will be available for students 21 and over, at the cash bar, at the student's expense. Non-alcoholic beverages and food are free. Food will include: pizza, quesadillas with sour cream, mini taquitos, caliente wings, chicken fingers, chips and salsa, with fresh vegetable and cheese and cracker trays. "We are going to have some great DJs that will make everyone wanna get out on the dancefloor,"said Schroeder. So bring comfortable shoes, because according to Schroeder, "we're going to dance the night away!" wide audience, organization of the material presented, and the presenter's ability to handle questions from the jury and the general audience, said Collins. Finalists of the campus competition will receive a certificate of recognition, a $50 cash award, and a paid trip to the state competition at CSU Channel Islands. The state competition will be held on May 5 and 6. Students will not receive academic credit for participating in the competition; however, statefinalistsdo receive a cash award. "The purpose of the competition is to recognize outstanding student accomplishments in scholarly research and creative activity," said Collins. "Participating in the competition is prestigious. It is an excellent experience for the researcher, and gives them a very significant experience to list on their resume. Some of our participants are using this in their applications for doctoral programs throughout the country." Matthew Spears, a Cai State San Marcos senior and literature and writing studies major, won second place in last year's state competition in the "Humanities and Letters" section, the undergraduate division, for his research project titled: "The Canonicity of Cliché: Idiomatic Language and Formulaic Diction in Beowulf and the Heaney Translation", with Lance Newman as his faculty mentor. Spears received a $200 cash award and a certificate. "I had a great time, of course!" mentioned Spears. "The application wasn't all that difficult, since I had already had an idea of what research I was going to submit -the idea for my paper wasfromwork I had done before in a class. The competition here on campus was relaxed and low-key, and to tell you the truth, I really didn't feel all that nervous. I was one of thefinalistsselected to go to the statewide competition and that was an enjoyable experience as well. There is a little question & answer session at the end of every presentation (as there is in the competition here), but it's really easier than you think because you quickly discover that you know more about the topic of your research than they do," said Spears. This year, there are 28 students participating in the campus-wide competition, a significant increase from last year's 13 participants. According to Collins, there were over 190 students representing the 22 CSU campuses in attendance at last year's state competition. The students competed in 22 different divisions. "We are thrilled with the response to this year's competition. Not only did we double the number of entrants, but we received submissions from areas that were not represented last year," said Collins. "We really would like to* have people see this as a venue for showcasing research from allfieldsof study." Finalists from last year's competition will be hosting this year's campus competition, and will be available in each room to answer questions and solicit advice. "First, don't be afraid to apply - all you have to do is submit a 5 page paper, and then give a 10 minute presentation, which I might add, is in front of a friendly audience that wants you to succeed," explained Spears. "Second, once you're actually in the competition, make sure to have some fun with it. See it as an opportunity to have some fun, show off some of the great research you've conducted in your classes while a student at CSUSM, and as a way to practice your public speaking, which will be important when you have a job." The campus competition is open to the public, and free of charge.

It can now be located behind and between the University and Academic Hall buildings, yet is only fully visible from near the FCB building, and the Palm Court. Perhaps its obscured location added to student interest in the project as rumors circulated. During its construction, gossip spread that it would take several more years than the official estimate to finish, and once it had been 'completed,' new rumors surfaced that the project was rushed and that the building did not yet meet the necessary building codes. These allegations came as a surprise to David Dennis, project manager with the University's Office of Planning, Design and Construction. Construction on Markstein Hall actually began in May of 2004 and was finished early January 2006, just a few weeks before classes began. While the project was finished three months earlier than the originally projected date of completion in May 2006, Dennis claims that it was built "in about average time" for a project of its size and complexity. "It's 99.9% complete" he said, "we just need to finish the punch list," referring to the list of minor and non-crucial repairs and replacements for the building, such as paint touch ups and landscaping. Rumors of professors forced prematurely into partially built offices seemed a far cry from the experience of Michael Pass, professor of Marketing, who teaches two classes and enjoys his new office in Markstein Hall. "It's wonderful," Professor Pass said in reference to the building. "It's far more professional looking." He also can't recall any negative experiences moving in, or any sense that the building wasn't complete. And with regards to his new office: "it's great, better than the other buildings on campus." This sentiment was echoed by Political BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer Markstein Hall, a modern and professional design. Science professor Anthony O'Halloran, who also has an office in the new building. "I can't recall anything not being completed ... and this office is much better than any I would have had back in Ireland," he remarked. Many students have also been enjoying the new building, and most agreed that the new class room's "Harvard Case" design-with large hardwood desks in a tiered, semicirclelike amphitheater with the professor in the middle-created a more "professional environment". Of course, not everyone admired the décor. One student, who did not wish to be named, commented on the industrial-style corrugated metal facades, saying "it looks like the inside of a Chipotle [restaurant]". Another student wryly remarked that the hallways on the second and third floors were quite narrow, but that the fourthfloor'shallways (where the Photo by Z achary J. Simon / The Pride dean's office is located) were much more spacious. Overall, though, the allegations of an inadequate or incomplete facility have been silenced since its opening, and in their place there seems to be a general sense of satisfaction and pride in the new facility. "My wife is coming to help me hang pictures tonight... I'm going to use it as an excuse to show off the classes," Professor Pass said. With students and professors both pleased with the facility, one can only hope that this model will be followed for future campus projects. Current construction projects such as the remodeling of Craven Hall, whose interior was widely considered confusing and inefficient by staff and students alike, would be extremely well received. Quite likely, however, before anyone gets a chance to see how that project turns out, there will be plenty of time for the staff and students to speculate on it. Benjamin Franklin coined the phrase "lord of another man's purse" to refer to the title of those with steady paying habits. UCSD professor, David Vickers, refuted this argument in his Feb. 16 presentation on the history of US debt. The problem of personal borrowing in the creation of personal debt was the focal point of Dr. Vickers' lecture. He explained to his audience, mixed of CSUSM students and faculty, the many layers to this issue, as well as a comparison of credit in colonial days versus the present. Vickers, originally from Canada, described the most common reasons that people borrow in today's society, such as emergencies, investments, better living, and of course, school. People today also have the ability to borrow based on their demonstration of great payment history (credit score) and steady income flow. One major aspect of borrowing that has changed in more recent transactions is the rise of internet use and therefore decline in See DEBT, page 7 "n r ìi Bn < n wmfif nrnfjfi KTnn nifì n nn n nT^^^^^^^^fn ËËP^S » n M n n Mi ft nin ì f n f ln n frif^^^^^^f^ BES^r ^ iM' iì f i ifì li lnH f i n o iffi t H^ t t n ^n n i l^ T ï t ^^ ll f ^ Unite to Win! Rally for affordable quality education and fair contractsl In 2003 and 2004, California cut half a billion dollars in state funding for the CSU. To help get through tough times, faculty and staff took a pay freeze. Students saw fees skyrocket along with class sizes. Sections were cancelled. 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 ail, 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 again-10% per yearforthe next four years. The CSU is getting so expensive that enrollments are starting to decline! Meanwhile, faculty and staff unions are negotiating new contracts, and the CSU 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 FERP program that lets retired faculty keep teaching the courses students need. We can't let the CSU administration destroy our school and our jobs! And the only way to stop them is if students, staff, and faculty unite to say, "No more cutsi Rebuild the CSU!"

The celebration has come to epitomize wild images of insouciant dancing, drinking and exotic exhibition. Other less risque aspects include beads, masks, Cajun food and plastic-baby King Cakes. One may therefore be surprised to learn some of its stricter religious origins. According to World Book Encyclopedia online, Mardi Gras celebrations date back to ancient Roman customs ofmerrymaking and feasting before a period of religious fasting. Held on the day before the Catholic holiday of "Lent," Mardi Gras' actual date depends on the date of Easter, thus why the celebration occurs predominantly where Catholicism has enjoyed influence. This year, Mardi Gras will take place on February 28, as the date is always set 46 days before Easter. Mardi Gras, which means Tat Tuesday' in French, may have received its name from the French custom of parading a fat ox through towns and villages on Shrove Tuesday. In Germany, the holiday is called "Fastnacht," while the English call it "Pancake Day". The tradition ofMardi Gras wasfirstintroduced to America by French colonists in the early 1700's. It became very popular in New Orleans, later branching out to other southern states. In Alabama, Florida, and several counties in Louisiana, Mardi Gras is a 'legal' (often incarnated as 'bank') holiday. To this day the most famous Mardi Gras celebration has been held in New Orleans and it attracts tourists from around the world. Social organizations, called 'krewes,' manage andfinancethe parades and other festivities. Mardi Gras is actually one day, but is preceded by a weeks-long carnival season whose theme changes each year. During this 'Carnival Season,' balls, parties, parades, and feasting are especially popular. Mardi Gras then signifies the climax and culmination of this season. On Ash Wednesday, religious party-goers will sober up and begin preparation for Lent and Easter. Even with its modern popularity, Mardi Gras has managed to maintain its symbolic roots. Two of the most popular traditions associated with Mardi Gras are King Cakes and die tossing of trinkets. King Cakes are ring-shaped pastries usuallyfilledwith cinnamon andfrostedwith icing and tri-colored sprinkles. Purple, yellow and green sprinkles were meant to represent justice and faith. A miniature plastic-baby is inserted into one of Photos courtesy ofwww.mardigrasday.com Masked 'krewe' members toss trinkets to Mardi Gras crowd. the cakes and whoever happens to get that piece with the baby inside will be elected to host the next party or will often become King/Queen of the celebration. Another popular tradition during Mardi Gras is the tossing and receiving of trinkets. Masked krewe members ride on the parade floats and toss various types of trinkets to the crowds. Such items can rangefromplastic-beaded necklaces and faux doubloons to plastic cups and hats. Just shout. "Throw me some beads, mister" and you too can go home with bags full of these coveted Mardi Gras souvenirs. Contrary to popular lore, getting coveted Mardi Gras beads does not require revealing certain body parts. "There is so much thrown that there is no way you are not going to go home with a bag full of goodies," said Arthur Hardy, an author and television personality, during an interview with National Geographic magazine. According to Hardy, the notorious practice of "flashing" for beads has nothing to do with the real spirit ofMardi Gras, and will only be found among young people who feel they have license to behave in such a manner.

The presentation consisted of no real visual aids other than Benjamin Franklin's coined term scribbled onto the white board of University Hall 100. Vickers led off his discussion with a comparison of the historical contexts and concepts of debt that are prevalent in today's society. In colonial times, farmers utilized a credit system not entirely unlike the practices of our country in present day. A man could borrow services or equipment from any of his neighbors and in return he would repay this loan through services as well as with food or the lending of tools. In a system like this, each man worked in accordance with a face-to-face agreement made between borrower and lender. Such agreements were hard to renegotiate, credit transactions carried little interest, and loans had less of an urgency for payback, thus loans had a much longer life span. "The only indication to a farmer's neighbors that he could be trusted was his word; words carried much more weight in a primarily barter economy," explained Vickers. Today, the practice of borrowing and lending is a bit more complicated. Debts are negotiated between a computer screen and a human, making them much less personal. Terms of a loan can be renegotiated at almost any time with little to no sense of connection or attachment between lender or borrower. This in turn adds a sense of unpredictability to the process of lending and borrowing, givingriseto consumer burial beneath bills, bills, and more bills. When Vickers concluded his presentation he opened thefloorto questions from the audience where he discussed issues such as the necessity versus the option of establishing credit. Vickers appeared entirely receptive to the constructive feedback and positive audience reactions, closing with a statement that he would rethink and further develop some of the claims in his study. �Jock Talk With Josh BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer The past three weeks from American athletes haven'texactly been the high point in our country's long history of sports, and I am not just talking about the Winter Olympics. American snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis, however, typifies exactly what's wrong with American athletes. In the past 15 years, American athletes have come across this mentality of preferring to look cool losing than winning in a boring fashion. For those of you who have shunned the Winter Olympics because the paint drying channel is more entertaining, here is what the proud American did. Jacobellis was competing in the Women's Snowboard Cross, which is basically a race down a hill against three other risktakers. Early into the medal race the three other riders lost control and Jacobellis had the race won if she just stayed on her board. Being the true American that she is, however, she felt the need to attempt a trick on the final jump right before the finish line. Mind you, in this event the only thing that counts is crossing the finish line. Of course, she bombs her trick and falls down which allows one of her competitors the time to pass her up and cause Jacobellis to get silver. Again, in true American style, she tried to lie about what she was trying to do. In the interview right after the event, she claimed that she needed balance so she grabbed her board in mid air to do so, but she didn't know if she wanted to do method air or indie air. In that situation neither was necessary. She didn't have to touch the board. When Bob Costas interviewed her I wanted to jump through the TV because she downplayed the whole thing, talking about how she was glad to get a medal and what matters to her is that she will always be known as an Olympian. I would like, for just once, an American athlete to go in front of a camera and just say, "I screwed up," or "I don't know what I was thinking, but it was stupid." I have met a few American Olympians, some who have won gold and some who have won silver, and those who have won silver have admitted they screwed up, but they didn't screw up because of showboating, like Jacobellis. The thing that bugs me more than people not taking responsibility for their own actions is people who don't realize how fortunate they are to be where they are. Barry Bonds, Ricky Williams, and Sammy Sosa all hit a nerve with the American public the past few weeks. Bonds spent all last week complaining about being a baseball player. Oh boo hoo Mr. Roid, poor you, you have to swing a bat and throw a ball for a living. He spent last week saying that this is going to be his last season, then saying he isn't quite sure, then saying he doesn't care about being 47 home runs away from the all-time home run record and then saying, "ouch my body hurts." Seriously, who complains about getting paid to play a sport for a living? Well, I guess it isn't as bad as turning down money to play a sport. Sammy Sosa may not be an American athlete, but he sure acts like one. Sosa had only one offer from a MLB club to play baseball this season and that was a one year contract for 500,000 dollars from the Washington Nationals. Sosa went on to say that it was offensive to be offered such little money. How many of you would be insulted if someone threw 500 grand at you to play baseball? There are many MLB players who can't get a contract, like the sultan of syringes, Jose Canseco, who would play catch with a live hand grenade for that kind of money. The dumbest athlete last week had to be Tommy Chong's doobie double from "Up in Smoke", Ricky Williams, when he was notified that he is facing a year suspension because it seems as though he failed a fourth drug test. Apparently, Ricky likes green plants more than green paper because I've lost count of how much money he's lost with these failed drug tests. If this suspension goes through, his career is likely over because the NFL isn't too keen on running backs over 30 years old that would rather light up a joint than light up the scoreboard. Even the potheads who heard about this story were like, "Dude, you're giving us a bad name." Of course they barely just got word about it yesterday. Finally, the kicker of them all doesn't involve an American athlete, but he is Canadian, so geographically it's close enough. Of late, Wayne Gretzky looks as bad as a crack addict, due to the stress of not medaling in the Winter pi%pp 1 mm «| m m mm Olympics, losing his mom and grandmother in a three week span, and the realization that his assistant coach and wife were caught up in an illegal gambling ring. As time consuming as those first three things are, how can you not know your wife and best friend are gambling hundreds of thousands of dollars? Also, the one thing I find most interesting about this situation is that generally women don't have severe gambling problems. It is usually males who are prone to betting thousands of dollars at the drop of a puck. It is usually male athletes who find people to make bets for them so there isn't a paper trail to their name. As a male athlete, who do you trust more than your own wife? Enough said. I wish some of these people would count to 10 or even 100 before they did anything in their life. Maybe then that would prevent some of these bonehead actions. Is the nation just less intelligent now, or did athletes in the past actually understand how lucky they were to be doing what they were doing and just tried not to screw up their position in life?

Censorship! May these words plunge from the heavens like dull arrows in a bright sky; may god allow them to reach the good people of San Marcos to alert them of the real assault--an assault on expression that occurs in dark rooms by newspaper editors who stir brews of power and irrationality. My friends and colleagues: It's passive voice, but the Robbins Report was censored. Last week I responded in a revised version of my column to the factual inaccuracies and poor reasoning that comprised the previous week's letter to the editor. I defended myself, and I defended the honor, of argumentation. The piece was about truth and reasoning. It was nearly a PSA for education. "It's just not goingin," my editor said as he tossed a couple of turd logs at the wall. We (the editor in chief and he) don't want folks carrying on arguments in "The Pride"; we don't want to see anything else about Women's Studies in "The Pride"; blah, blah, blah, blah, blah and blah. I know, these folks are editors and they are responsible for editing the paper into a quality product. Like Smokey said in the movie 'Friday', "and you know this, man!" My contention is that my Fuhrer's decision to edit my column all the way off of the page was an irrational decision While my revised column included multiple occurrences of the term "Women's Studies", they appeared only in the context of discussions about poor reasoning. While some might have cited my column for transporting an argument across campus lines, others might have viewed it as being intellectual dialogue between two scholars with strong and very diverse opinions. The smarter of the others might have even recognized the fact that I focused in on the arguments and abstracted the author. I made this case, but my editor upheld the decision. The difference is that this time he threw less turd logs at the wall. They censored a column that bears my surname and leaks my blood and I'm still lying awake at night without an explanation. Try this question guys: What the heck is a personal op-ed column if you can't be your own person and can't express certain opinions? You can say whatever you want Jason, just not this or that, and not to that person. Readers: I'll talk to you folks about more substantial issues next week.

College L oan Repayment and other education benefits aa&ai �It's always a man's world September 11: a movieP BY PIYAMAS J. Y. SABLAN Pride Staff Writer According to the CSUSM web site http://www.csusm. edu/newsmedia/background/ stu-enrollhtm, fall 2005 student enrollment consisted of 63.5 percent females and 36.5 percent males. Since CSUSM has a majority female population, I thought Pdfocussome attention on some femalerelated issues and concerns. I recently overheard a comment on Valentine's Day that wouldn't have disturbed me a few months ago but fortunately since the start of my psychology of women's class this semester, things that have been lying dormant in the shadows of my mind have now been brought into the light. The comment I overheard was from a courier at work griping over the woes and obligations of men during the Valentine's Day holiday. "It's a woman's world," he said. My apologies for rattling the very foundation this society has been built upon, but it is definitely not a "woman's world." For those of you who are not fortunate enough to take Psych 350, here is just a morsel from the buffet of knowledge and perspective it provides. If this was a femaleempowered world, strength would be defined as childbirth and spirit, not how much weight someone can bench. All males would have a curfew since they are the main perpetrators of violence against women. Once the curfew was in effect, females could roam the streets without fear of harm. Men take for granted the luxury of being able to walk around without fear for their safety or lives 24 hours, seven days a week. Females can't even feel 100 percent safe in the comfort of their own homes. Statistics ofrapescommitted in the United States remove one of the essential elements of the statistic, the criminal. Instead of wording statistics like "every second, three women are raped", why aren't statistics worded to include the committer of the crime? Applicable statistics should state that "a man rapes a woman every three seconds." There is only one prototype for the perfect female figure. A woman basically must be skinny, almost boyishly so, yet have huge breasts. How many females in the population canfitinto that mold? Yet males aren't given the same matchbox to fit into. Handsome can mean a variety of sizes and shapes. Men can be chunky, slim, tall, or short and still be considered attractive by society's standards. Females have also given into the injustice by trying to fit the mold. Makeup is utilized because females don't wake up attractive the way men do. Numerous diet plans are in abundance to help females achieve the ''perfect" figure. People try to downplay the injustice females suffer by depersonalizing those who demand their voices be heard. They refer to those brave individuals with slurs such as "bra burners" and joke about them being so extreme that they grow out their armpit and leg hair. Feminism is not a negative word that should induce emotions of shame. Feminism should be a roar resonating from the souls of individuals, males and females, with the end result being an eruption of pride, strength, and unity. Everyone has a mother, sister, daughter, girlfriend, wife, or femalefriend.Males should be aware that even though they may walk out the same door to start their day as the females in their lives, they walk into a different world. BY ALFRED CHU Special to The Pride September 11 was a day that shocked Americans as no other single day ever had previously. In the following weeks, we glued ourselves to the television watching the footage caught from that dreadful day as well as waiting for recent updates. In the months and years that followed, books, publications, endorsements, charities, documentaries, etc have all touched on that event However there's one more medium that hasn't directly exploited that event: the Hollywood Motion Picture.. .until now. Paramount Pictures, director Oliver Stone and actor Nicholas Cage are currently in production of "World Trade Center". Thefilmwill focus on the true story of John McLoughlin and William J. Jimeno, who were the last two survivors rescued from the rubble of Ground Zero. Only in production, Stone has already issued statements to the media defending thefilmand rebutting against criticism. The film will be shot in Los Angeles on a sound stage while news footage of the event will be added separately. Stone and the producers have also met with the 9/11 families to retain accuracy as well as consent. According to USA Today, Stone has promised sensitivity on the subject, and that's all well and good but then again, Stone stated I believed Bush Sr. when he said "Read my lips: no new taxes." Let's break it down like a fraction. First, we can all agree that Hollywood has a reputation of exaggerating, dis- torting, etc true stories and events. We've seen this done time and again. Second, this is another example of Hollywood looking for new material to produce onfilm.I guess constant adaptations and remakes can't always be lucrative. Third, Hollywood has high hopes of making money off this event. Fourth, we all know controversy sells ("The Passion of the Christ"). That's nothing new. Fifth, Stone has a reputation of making controversial films ("Platoon"). Would you really want "controversy" surrounding an event such as this? I think not. Sixth, if this film should bomb critically and/or financially, either way, Stone's career is close to over. And lastly, Stone promised sensitivity but when push comes to shove, who is he going to be more loyal to, the audience or the people signing his paycheck? I'm not banning the film nor am I condemning it, although that day might come when I see it. Yet it's too soon to be making a film about September 11 and more importantly, too sensitive of a subject. Having lived across the Hudson River in New Jersey during that time, I still keep in contact with friends who lost someone during the attack. I still keep in contact with those who witnessed the collapse of the World Trade Center. To this day, I still have same feelings for the victims as well as the perpetrators. It was one of the rare moments where we were brought together through a commonality, if only for a short while. Mr. Stone, stand down on this one.

And former "Charlie's Angels" star Drew Barrymore lends her voice once again to animation as Ted's love interest, Maggie. With other voices as Dick Van Dyke playing the role of the museum owner Mr. Bloomsberry, and Frank Welker as the loveable character himself, George. As the movie begins, the audience encounters George in Africa being a mischievous character. George is an ape that does not quite belong in this location, in other words, too big for his surroundings. However, this "Curious George" resembles a toddler in the face, facial movements and sounds in comparison to an ape. This, however, does not take away from the movie but instead it creates a more protective feeling in regard to the lonesome ape George. Featured in the film, the museum Ted works for has fallen on hard times. In response, Ted presents an idea of a new attraction to save the museum from becoming a cement tombstone. This idea lands Ted in Africa searching for a lost idol (resembling an ape) allegedly towering Photo courtesy ofwww.curiousgeorgemovie.com over 40ft.

Celebrate MARDI GRAS BY AMANDA KEELEY Pride Staff Writer The throwing of beads, invitations to masquerade balls, purple, green and gold decorations lining the streets can only mean one thing - Mardi Gras! According to Holidays.net, Mardi Gras was brought to New Orleans due to its richness in French Culture in 1699. Mardi Gras season actually starts on Jan. 6, the "Epiphany holiday", according to Carnival.com, which is twelve days after Christmas and until midnight on Mardi Gras day (Fat Tuesday). The official colors of Mardi Gras are purple, green and gold, which were established in 1872 by Rex, King of Carnival. Each color has a particular meaning, for instance, purple means justice, green represents faith, and gold equals power. According to MardiGras.com, Mardi Gras began as pagan holiday to celebrate the end of winter and coming of spring. Since the celebration was so popular, the Catholic Church kept the tradition, but placed some limits on it by stating that Mardi Gras festivities were only to last from Three King's Day to Ash Wednesday. Basically, Mardi Gras is all about enjoying the appetite of life by feasting and partying before the fasting of Lent. You don't have to be from New Orleans to celebrate Mardi Gras, because on Fat Tuesday, Feb. 28, in downtown San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter, from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m., they will be having their own Mardi Gras festivi- ties. There will befivelive stage performances, the G Street Party Stage located on 6th Avenue and G Street will feature DJ Marc Thrasher, NRG, Polyester and the Platforms and KC and the Sun Shine Band. On the E Street Club Stage, located North of E Street and 5th Avenue, DJ's Erick Diaz & Adam Salter with Siesta Records, Scooter and Lavelle and Miss Lisa will be performing. On 4th Avenue, Tipitina Stage located on 4th Avenue and Island Avenue will be showing DJ Mac, The Frappe' Brass Band, The Wild Apache Mardi Gras Indians, The 504 Brass Band, and Kirk Joseph Backyard Groove. The K Street Gaslamp Stage on 6th Avenue and K Street features DJ Scott Martin, Dirty Sweet, Lady Dottie and the Diamonds, Truckee Brothers, and Reeve Oliver. Finally, on G Street, between 4th and 5th Avenue, is the G Street Lips Experience. Mardi Gras in the Gaslamp Quarter is presented by Southern Comfort, so be sure to grab a Southern Comfort Hurricane, as they will be served all night! The fun doesn't stop there; at 8:30 p.m. there will be a parade that spans eight blocks down Gaslamp Quarter and lasts about 35 to 40 minuets. Local radio stations are getting in on the action as well. 101 KGB will have afloatand a booth set up at the event. They will be giving away free passes and winners will get to ride on the float. Dana from Rock 105.3 says they will also have a float in the parade. Telina from promotions at Photo courtesy ofwww.mardigrashistory.com Star 94.1 says there will a 10x10 booth set up in which prizes will be given out for games such as matching, and guessing how many skittles are in ajar. Farley from Channel 93.3 says they will not only have afloatand booth, but DJ Hit Man Haze will be holding down all the beats that keep you moving. Note that this is a ticketed Beer of the week: Moretti's L a Ross Photo by Matthew Schramm / The Pride event for 21 and over only. Also, no still or video cameras will be allowed in the event. Dan Flores, the Senior Marketing Manager with the Gaslamp Quarter Association, said that last's year Mardi Gras was "very successful," which made it possible for such bands as KC and the Sun Shine Band to perform this year and give "emerging bands a chance to perform." Dan Flores hopes people will get to discover new bands, and have a good time while giving back to the community. Some of the proceeds go to keeping the streets clean and safe. The great thing about Mardi Gras in the Gaslamp Quarter is that you don't have to be in New Orleans to get a great Mardi Gras experience. used.

The Arts Building will have a 250-seat auditorium, eclipsing the campus' present 145-seat auditorium in ACD 102. Additionally, there will be al50-seat rehearsal theater with a stage large enough to host a 30-piece chamber orchestra. Still a third performance arena will be a "Black Box Theatre." The versatile theater will be a wide-open space where seating can be varied for each performance transforming the stage from the traditional prosceniumstyle to a thrust-style, or a theater-in-the-round. The theatre will also have sprung-typeflooringfor dance and movement classes. "It gives the students the opportunity to experiment and t o be in different theater settings," said Decker. The new Arts building will also have stations for ceramics, painting, and sculpture; music practice rooms; video editing bays; a recording studio; a multimedia studio. The new Science building will have specific laboratories for Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, as well as five computer labs assigned to the Computer Science and Math departments. Decker said the current Science Hall will continue to be used as a laboratory building, but the new Science building will house "the next generation of labs for us." "North County has an incredible number of companies performing pharmacological and biological work: you have to respond to those sorts of things," said Decker. The Construction Company of Swinerton and Walberg, described by Decker as "a regional powerhouse in construction," is the "apparent low-bidder" with a bid of $20,670,000 for the two buildings. Swinerton and Walberg completed construction on the campus* newest classroom facility, University Hall, in Fall 1999 for a final cost of nearly $12.5 million. Construction on the new buildings will not begin until after the apparent low-bid is declared official, and the construction company posts the appropriate bonds. The "highly formalized process" takes six to eight weeks, said Decker. The new buildings, with an expected completion date of May 2003^ are paid for primarily through state-appropriated funds. Decker said, "We're still trying to figure out some additional funding" but quickly dispelled any concerns that construction could halt mid-way because of a lack of funds: "These buildings will be built."

More disabled parking with a ramping and elevator plan is due in 2002. In regards to disabled parking for Fall 2000, Leiter stated, "Hopefully, there will be enough." Campus Improvements By Mike Spangler PRIDE NEWS EDITOR CSU San Marcos received $200,000 for "Minor Capital Improvements" which qualify as costs under $250,000. The next improvements for students on how to negotiate the "Chutes and Ladders" of the campus for the year 2000 will come out of these State funds. New maps and signs will replace the "You Are Here" maps already on campus and will direct campus users to the nearest elevator. Users will see how best to travel from "The Dome" to the third floor of University Hall. A student or guest will also be able to download the map from the university web site. Signage for "Accessible Paths of Travel" has topped the list of university improvements due to the efforts of John Segoria, Director of Disabled Student Services, and Purchasing Agent, Cynthia Botta. A new sidewalk will replace the existing gravel pathway that students use t o walk between the student parking lots and the buildings of the university. The sidewalk will also run along the south side of Craven Road up to its intersection with Twin Oaks Valley Road. At a cost of $85,000, the new sidewalk is intended for completion in the summer 2000. * �Guest Speaker Talks about Germany, the Reunification, and the European Union Sarah Smith PRIDE STAFF WRITER What would it be like if California and Mexico combined to form one country? It would be comparable to the fall of the Berlin wall and the union of East and West Germany. Imagine the amount of money that California would have to invest in Mexico to bring up the Mexican economy to the level of Califonia; this is what the former West Germany has put into the former East Germany. Margit Haberle of the German Consulate General's Office in LosAngeles spoke to an audience of sixty on Wednesday, February 23, 2000 in a lecture sponsored by the CSUSM German Club and German Department. Astrid Ronke, a German Professor at CSUSM was hoping the lecture would bring some attention to the German department and make CSUSM more globally diverse. Haberle's lecture focused on Germany and the European Union and "what has changed since the fall of the Berlin Wall ten years ago." To make the concept of the combining of East and West Germany easier for the students to understand, Haberle compared the union to California and Mexico becoming one country. There is also the problem of Mexican workers who are welltrained workers but aren't as skilled in new technology as Californians are. East Germans has the same problem as Mexico and West Germany has had to train many workers in new skills. One of the benefits of the union between East and West Germany is that they all speak CSU May Lower Graduation Requirements to 120 Units (CSU News Release) The Trustees heard a short presentation on lowering the CSU graduation requirement from 124 to 120 semester units at the January 2000 CSU Board of Trustees Meeting. They are scheduled for a discussion and probable vote on the resolution, which requires a change in Title V, at the May Trustees meeting. Both the CSU Cornerstones Imple mentation Plan, a strategic plan for CSU's future, and the 1999/00 Govenor's budget recommended that the CSU shorten the time it takes a student to graduate. The 124-unit requirement in the CSU is linked to a four-unit physical education activity requirement imposed in mid-century but which most CSU campuses no longer embrace. CSU San Marcos Graduations Requirements state, "Six units of physical activity coursework and four units of intercollegiate sports activity will be allowed towards a degree at CSUSM." The CSU press release stated that it is particularly incongruent to require 124 units at the CSU, when a normal course load x>f 15 units over four years would still leave a student four units short of graduation. The University of California, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and most universities across the nation use 120 units as a minimum unit requirement for graduation. the same language, although there was some difference in what different professions were termed. Germany is also a member of the European Union, which is important because it is "too complicated to have so many separate entities in a world market," said Haberle. The Deutsch Mark will no longer exist One of the major changes in in 2002 because of the creation of Germany is the move of the capital the Euro. "from Bonn to Berlin. By putting the Prior to the reunification, it was capital in Berlin, East Germans feel uncommon for Germans to invest more involved in the union between in the stock market because it was east and west.

At universities that have on-campus housing, the problem is more Funny images of the Animal House movie have given way to the new reality that binge drinking is no laughing matter. In the past, college campuses across the nation were not concerned about alcohol issues on campus. However, social attitudes have changed over the past 20 years and in a 1997 Harvard University Study on college drinking it found that "84% of all students drank during the school year and almost half (44%) of all students were binge drinkers." The study focused on 140 state and private universities, but did not include commuter campuses such as CSU San Marcos. Despite CSUSM's status as a commuter campus, alcohol problems do exist in the student body. visible." Counseling and Psychological Services therapists Ph.D. Leslie Wilson and Ph.D. Michelle Boutte Burke commented on state of drinking issues on the CSUSM campus. Current data on health problems and counseling referrals due to alcohol and drugs could not be obtained, but Dr. Wilson said that it would surprise her if, "some of the people seen at Health Services were being seen for problems caused by alcohol." that trying to eliminate drinking on campus was not helpful, but rather changing the culture of drinking was key to stemming drinking problems. parking tickets," Dr. Burke said. When asked if it made any difference whether or not a campus was dry, Dr. Burke stated, "You can have alcohol with approval from (CSUSM) President Gonza"Colleges with high binge lez.

"We must try and influence people early." However, he did agree that the campus' current status as a commuter makes the issue not as significant as it would be on other campuses. When asked to sum up the problem in a word both therapists said, "Access." As this school moves from being a commuter campus to a campus with housing these issues will likely take a higher precedent. However, only time will tell if CSUSM can change the culture of drinking. �Free Whether Sworn or Community Service, Officers Provide Campus Safety Tay-Sachs Testing on C ampus Johnny Coogan PRIDE STAFF WRITER Victoria B. Segall PRIDE FEATURE EDITOR In the general public, 1 out of 250 people may be a carrier for the gene. If both parents of the child are carriers of the disease, there is a 25% chance that their child may be afflicted with Tay-Sachs. On Tuesday, February 29, CSUSM's Pre-Health Society, in collaboration with the California Tay-Sachs Disease Prevention Program, will hold Tay-Sachs Testing, free and open to the student body, faculty, staff and general public. The rate of Tay-Sachs occurrence is especially high in European-Jewish and French-Canadian ethnic populations. In these ethnic groups, 1 out of 27 people may be a carrier of the Tay-Sachs gene. "However this disease can occur with anyone, regardless of ethnic population," says Dr. Joanne Pedersen, a health profession advisor here on campus. "Tay-Sachs is one of the most agonizing diseases to die from," comments Dr. Pedersen. "This Prevention Program tries to test as many adults of child-bearing age, so if you're a carrier you'll be aware and know the risks." The Prevention Program is a public service supported by the California Department of Health. Tay-Sachs disease causes a breakdown in the central nervous system due to an absent enzyme that normally breaks down toxic fatty substances in the brain. The disease strikes very young children, usually at the age of 6 months. As the child's age progresses, the child loses mental capabilities and motor skills, and overall health begins to deteriorate. Since there is no cure for Tfcy-Sachs, a child with the disease rarely lives past four or five years of age. "The mission of the California Tay-Sachs Prevention Program is to screen people, not only in high risks populations, but to test as many [individuals] as possible because anybody can be a carrier," says Dr. Pedersen. The free Tay-Sachs screening includes a simple blood test and a confidential medical history form completed by the individual being tested. Testing will be performed by licensed medical professionals in Commons 206 from 10:00am 2:00pm on Tuesday, February 29, 2000. Where is Campus Security? Over one thousand students attend classes at night, Monday through Thursday, after 6:00pm. Many students worry that the University isn't doing all it can to protect them. Others believe that security should be more visible so students won't feel vulnerable when walking to their cars. "We have six sworn officers, a lieutenant, and a chief that are stationed at this school. We are a functioning police station right here on campus. We do work with the other law enforcement agencies in the area but we are our own entity," says Sworn Officer Mario Sainz.

Leadership Campus Web Site User-Unfriendly? 2000 Andrea Cavanaugh PRIDE OPINION EDITOR CSUSM hosted a gathering of North County community leaders on Thursday, February 17, to celebrate the inclusion of Leadership 2000 into the university's Extended Studies program. The training program for community leaders has found its "natural home" on the San Marcos campus this year, according to CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez. The program has produced more than 200 graduates since it was established in 1986. The mayors of San Marcos and Escondido are among the program's alumni, as well as many of North County's corporate and community leaders. The program was devised to train civic leaders, based on the idea that citizens can instigate positive change in their communities. Gonzalez sees the inclusion of Leadership 2000 into the university as a "natural fit" because "the university's mission statement says that we will be part of the community, and this is a very good example of what we can do." CSUSM will provide curriculum material, faculty support, and classroom space in its commitment to host the program. Leadership 2000 is accepting applications for twenty spots available for this year 's program, which begins on April 11 and runs through May 23.

State legislature has many initiatives to be put on the ballot for the general election in November. Of all the initiatives put on the ballot, Proposition 19 is the only measure that has a direct implication to the California State University system. Proposition 19 states: "MURDER. BART AND CSU PEACE OFFICERS. LEGISLATURE INITIATIVE AMENDMENT.

A 4YES' vote means that a person convicted of a second degree murder charge against a peace officer working for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) or the CSU system will face longer prison terms than what the current law provides. A NO vote means that the punishment remains the same, confinement for 15 years to life. The new measure will increase sentencing to 25 years to life, or life confinement without possible parole, depending on the circumstances involved in the case. A person who is convicted of a seconddegree murder charge upon a CSU campus police officer would result in the same punishment handed down to those who commit the same offense against all other peace officers across California. What began as an initiative passed by elected officials in the state legislature, Prop 19 is now up for voter approval. It provides CSUSM's peace officers with the same protection as officers at UCSD. Currently, a person would receive less time for murdering a CSU peace officer than they would from murdering a peace officerfromthe UC system. A clause in the proposition states that all people must aid a peace officer in apprehending a suspect, or else face a $1000fine.At any given moment, a campus peace officer could ask for your assistance and you may have to comply or face heavyfines.The argument is that we could be subject to assist a peace officer without having a weapon to protect ourselves. fefe, s u m m e r f s e s j ^ w s f f t a w a i ' f ^ | j § w eeksy6 credits, typical S ^yftion, room & board, b ooks/ a nd airfare) c osts M y 1: May 22~June 30 * Term 2: July 3-August 11 www.outreach.hawaii.edu •toll-free 1 (800) 862-6628 University of H awaii at Manoa, Summer S essions FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER: $20,000 CASH BONUS PLUS $50,000 FOR COLLEGE.

BE ALL YOU CAN BE: www.goarmy.com �6 Tuesday, February 29, 2000 OPINION DEAR EDITORS: I was very concerned about the article in "The Pride" about Pastor Smock. Certainly, he has the right to free speech and his own opinions, but 1 would like the student body to know that not all Christians are like Pastor Smock. As Simona Groza said in the article, Christianity is about God's love and forgiveness. It is about undetstanding His gift of Christ and wanting to have a personal relationship with Him. In fact,Jesus warned against judging others. Unfortunately, I was not at school the day that Pastor Smock spoke, so I only have the newspaper article to go on. I have been a Christian for 19 years and I would like to state that, based on the article, I disagree with almost all of what Smock said, and especially with the way that he presented himself. As a commuter school with an average student age higher than that at most universities, I do not think that CSUSM is what I would call a "party school." I take personal offense at the comment that students here "don't have the grades or the money to attend a better school." I have a 4.00 GPA and I could have gone to any school I wanted to - but here I am. As to Smock's religious opinions, I think he may be mis-interpreting the Bible. Some biblical scholars believe that the passages in the Bible that speak against homosexuality do not refer to homosexuality itself but the violence with which these acts were committed during that particular time period. As to his opinion about women I have several things to say. First of all, there were many important women in both the Old Testament and the New Testament, some being very close friends of Jesus. Secondly, most of the things written by Paul in I Corinthians, which sexists often use to support their beliefs, refer specifically to the women at the church in Corinth. Thirdly, when Paul uses the phrase "wives submit to your husbands" in Ephesians and Colossians, he is very clear that this relationship goes both ways and he tells husbands to love their wives as much as Christ loves us - and that is a lot! Funny, how men seem to leave that part out, isn't it? Maybe we can learn something from Pastor Smock. We can learn that when we are confronted with people we do not agree with, we should not reduce ourselves to their level. We should try to understand them, and why they are saying what they are saying, and then we will be able to intelligently discuss with them why we disagree. We can learn that one outspoken person does not necessarily represent the larger group that they claim to be a part of. I hope that this event will not drive people farther away from the truth, but give the Christians on campus the opportunity to share with people about God's love. Eye to Eye with Pastor Jed Smock Sonia Gutierrez As I read through Adra Hallford's article, "Students Debate with Street Preacher: Mocking Pastor Smock," in last weeks newspaper edition, I disagreed with most of Smock's bible based philosophies about keeping women in their proper place and his issues on homosexuality; however, to my surprise I agreed with him on his views of fraternities. Smock's comment that infuriated me the most was a homophobic law he postulated at the scene. Pastor Smock's solution against homosexuality consisted ofpassing a law that would enforce "homo patrols or something." The fact that Smock says, "or something," goes to show that he simply rambles off on a tangent as he speaks and tries to defend his standpoint. When Hallford informs the reader about Preacher Jed Smock being a professor at University of Wisconsin, I was blown away.

Katrina Chase ASI board members take time CSUSM Student out of our day each month to serve Study Abroad Advisor DEAR EDITOR: I am wondering if anyone else on campus notices the lack of customer service a student experiences? I am writing this after a poor experience in the library. I approached an older gentleman that was behind the counter and asked him for a book on reserve. His response was that I would have to "look it up on the computer to see if it's in"., ok. In all my experiences at the library, I had NEVER been told this. So, I looked it up. Unfortunately, the computer said the book was "missing" (as you can guess, it wasn't). So, he told me it was missing, without even taking the nano-second to LOOK, and I went about looking for another text. During this time, another student from my class approached him about an article for another class, same problem, look it up, even though the article was on RESERVE. Again, a new experience for her at the library. With this experience in mind, I decided to make a list of "good" and "bad" customer service areas on campus (I encourage anyone to add, or even disagree - it is opinion after all. Good: 1. Bookstore - yes, we hate the prices, it sucks..BUT - there IS ALWAYS someone there to help.

Bad: 1, Library - read comments above. % l ie ^rtbe thought to myself, "Yikes! I sure would not want to be sitting in his classroom listening to him preaching solutions as to how to reform the world." Hallford's quotations serve as shocking revelations of how people, from young to older students, think at CSUSM's campus. The few minutes I was able to presence his speech. It reminded me of a circus better yet a Jerry Springer show although I still do not who was entertaining who, Pastor Smock to his crowd or vice versa. Hallford provides punch lines as quotations that kept beating at me as I read through her article. Two quotations I found extremely offensive and disturbing. "[F]rat boys use philanthropy to cover their guilt for their boozing and whoremongering" replied Smock after a TKE member defended their philanthropic endeavors. Of course, I have a aberration for Smock's word choice to refer to women as whoremongers. However, I have to admit, for once, I completely agreed with Pastor Smock, as I read through his disruption of peace. After reading scholarly research on college fraternities and the strong correlation to gang rape incidents, I was disgusted with the "fiats" sexist brotherhood bond. According to studies, youngfraternitymembers, not only mix alcohol and sexual intercourse, they desensitize from female sensibility, meaning lack of respect for women's bodies. Hallford's nejct quotation shows the senility behind fraternities bravado including CSUSM's, as one TKE member "assured Smock that, 'This guy [Aguallion] never gets laid.'"Amaya's response goes to show how vulgar and how fraternity members perceive sexual intercourse, as an activity that satiates the frats sexual yearnings. Ironically, he defames his own brother and implies he is not a "whoremonger" and is not a sexual prowess. Amaya's joke only reinforces Pastor Smock's views on sexual intercourse and males. TKE member used the word "laid" as if performing sexual intercourse is a mark of male virility and solely for male gratificationwhere the female is subservient and does all the work. students a free barbeque lunch. ASI has developed a process to fund activities that clubs wish to host that does not allow for any frivolous spending of your fees. WE ARE SAVING YOU MONEY ASI offers many classes such as yoga, kickboxirig, and many other extracurricular activities. ASI offers discounts on movie and theme park tickets. WE ARE SAVING YOU MONEY ASI planned many concerts and activities for your entertainment. • ASI brought new video games into the study lounge to accomodate your breaks in between classes. ASI has developed a childcare facility that has made the lives of student parents easier. With the addition of our new childcare representative, our fundraising for the childcare facility is at an all time high. There are so many things that go on in ASI that go unnoticed everyday. Most students do not take the time to explore what your student government is accomplishing for you. It is those students who wait for something to go wrong and then condemn the whole organization that bring down the morale of ASI and make our jobs that much more difficult. I am a very active student here on campus as well as an executive member on the ASI board and I pride myself on the accomplishments that our ASI has done. In the future I ask that students who are a eager to criticize the actions of others had better get more information on the issue than just their own opinion. WE ARE FOR STUDENTS, WE ALWAYS HAVE BEEN FOR STUDENTS, WE ARE STUDENTS. 2. Cashiers office - Anyone stood in this line to pay for an ID with 1-2 people ahead of you and waited 20 minutes?

With that, I 'll end this. I would like to throw something out there for everyone that seems to describe this campus, "..institutions often tip toward serving the needs of the donor instead of those of the lesser party (for example, schools can come to serve teachers or ADMINISTRATORS, rather than the STUDENTS)." ok, so I capitalized where I shouldn't have, the bottom line is the administration doesn't seem to care about our convenience in some areas and they are here for us, the students - something to think about.

In only 14 words, Proposition 22 states that "only a marriage between a man and a woman shall be valid or recognized." This is also termed the Knight proposition because it was written by State Senator Pete Knight. Same sex marriage is currently not allowed by California law. But the initiative will prohibit recognition of same sex marriages performed outside of California. Proponents of Proposition 22 claim that "it's simply about preserving the sacred institution of marriage, which by God's design is between opposite-sex couples," according to prop22yes.com. But opponents say the'TCnight initiative is unfair, divisive and intrusive," according to noonknight.com. This has been one of the most controversial propositions in this years election. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, 22 is ahead in the public opinion polls. As of February 8th, 52%of Californians would vote yes and 39% no with 9% still undecided. become worse as a result of similar bills. This leads opponents to believe that if 22 is passed they won't be able to visit a sick partner in the hospital, collect on inheritance or a partners pension, take bereavement leave, file joint bankruptcy, and will make it even more difficult to adopt children. According to no on Knight advocates, 22 "doesn't defend marriage, it attacks families." According to a commercial sponsored by no on Knight, it doesn't matter if a person is against same sex marriage, what matters is that 22 fSictlifBi YES"22 f « >* rTfly rights in n t W states havp will "add more government interference in our lives." The cast members of NBC's Will and Grace also made a commercial to protest this proposition. The actor who plays Will on the series says by voting yes or no on this proposition, the voter will be voting "either for or against basic rights." This issue is also dividing the religious community. 400 clergy members spent the weekend of February 12th and 13th in prayer and protest against 22. Reverend J. Edwin Bacon, Jr. said this issue is made from "intolerance and bigotry." But other religious leaders and churches have spoken in support for voting yes on 22. The Mormon church has strongly encouraged members in California and elsewhere to send money and work hard for the measure. Hie Catholic church has also donated large amounts of money to the cause. According to prop22yes.com, this measure is "simply about preserving the sacred institution of marriage, which by God's design is between opposite-sex couples." Proponents focus on the fact that this measure is only 14 words and that there is "no legal double talk, no hidden agenda" (taken from the Voter Information Guide). They claim that it does not take away rights to inheritance or to visit partners in the hospital. Proponents say it is just common sense and a way to keep marriage from being redefined. CSU San Marcos students are also divided on this issue. Many who will vote yes on the issue sighted religious beliefs as the origin of their decision. A 24-year-old. Communications student said that it was the "Catholicism in [him] jumping out" and that "marriage is for procreation." A24-year-old psychology student said that "having [married homosexuals] come into the state is the same as letting them do it in California." On the side of the opposition, students mostly believe as Joy Childers said, that we need to "keep our eyes on ourselves and deal with our own wrongs." It was decided that it is a person's choice what he or she wants to do. Proponents say it is a simple proposition of common sense while opponents say it is going to spread fear and intolerance. On May 7th the decision will be made. Dear fellow CSUSM students, As you know, 2000 is an election year.

The Pride, I had mixed emotions as I read Joel Montes comments in the February 14 issue about the CSUSM Mission Statement. I was quite pleased to see a student speak out after taking the time to learn about the University mission. However, I was disappointed that there were some misunderstandings in Mr. Montes' message. My response is intended to demonstrate that administrators do read The Pride, do value student opinion, and to clear up some of the inaccuracies. 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday nights, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday, and 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The library expands to 76 hours per week during peak demand times such as final examinations by staying open later weekday nights and longer hours on the weekend. asked to call the individual office and try to schedule special arrangements. Most offices can accommodate students with special needs. Transfer credits - The University has agreements with all of the nearby higher education institutions to ensure that credits transfer into and out of CSUSM. However, if Mr. Montes is referring to degree requirements, there is little CSUSM alone can do to ensure that a student transferring out of the University has credits accepted at the other campus. We do all we can to work with students who bring credits to CSUSM and provide a number of options for flexibility. Most of the time, we can work it out! Computer Lab hours — The computer lab has also experimented with longer hours and had the same experience as the library. Current hours are 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday Library hours ~ The library has and 12 Noon to 6 p.m. Sunday. tried extending its hours, only to Hours of other services — Many find too few students taking advantage of the longer hours to make student services are open for addiUnits required to graduate ~ the cost worthwhile.

That change requires the approval of the CSU Trustees and is now being considered. Until a change is made, some of the degrees at CSUSM require as many as 132 units. This is difficult to change for a variety of reasons, including accreditation. Even if the Trustees approve a reduction, it will take several years to implement the change. Shifting spending away from student life ~ I think students and administrators have identified creating more student life activities as a priority for our young campus. While some money is spent on barbeques and concerts, it is not enough to remedy even a few of the concerns Mr. Montes has noted. We must maintain a balance of activities on the campus and that balance must include cultural arts events and other student activities designed to be fun. I n conclusion, I 'd like to remind all students that the administration appreciates hearing comments and suggestions. Perhaps the best way is via e-mail by using the link on the campus web page. Input can also be made to individual offices by telephone, e-mail or in person. . Recent surveys find CSUSM students to be more satisfied with their experience on this campus, in general, than the average level of satisfaction of all CSU students. While that is gratifying, we know we must always strive to improve, and we thank Mr. Montes for his comments.

Reed result in student fee increases, enrollment reductions, and elimination of EOP and other outreach programs. The Governor's new proposal provides for a $240 million net cut for the CSU system. On top of the current year, this will result in a $568 million, or approximately 20 percent, budget reduction, Chancellor Reed said. In a Board of Trustees meeting last Thursday, the Chancellor announced "an evolving tentative plan," which he summarized by saying, "Because cuts over two to three years are so big, we can no longer continue to serve as many See CHANCELLOR, page 3 Karen S .

The barbecue marked the second in two weeks for ASI, which receives an allotment of money each semester from student fees. ASI Vice President of External Affairs Erik Roper called Haynes' speech "a good start," "I thought it was very encouraging," said Roper. "On her first 'real day' on campus, she chose to make the event student-focused." NEW®I ByDAVEWERTH& ERICMERCADO Pride StaffWritets Budget cuts are likely to impact CSUSM once again as Governor Schwarzenegger suggestsr removing the Educational Opportunity Program from California State University campuses. The EOP has been a part of the CSU for almost 35 years, and has been providing the opportunity for low income, first generation, and underrepresented students to complete a higher level of education. Providing free counseling, academic workshops, supplemental instruction, financial grants, and many other student services, the EOP serves almost 500 students on the CSUSM campus. The people here are great, I have received help financially, and the counselors here are very supportive in our achievement and success, said Janet Perez, a first generation college student. Perez is one of 497 students at CSUSM who are now receiving help from the Equal Opportunity Program (EOP). The governor's proposed cuts will eliminate $36 million dollars from the CSU budget across 23 campuses and impact thousands of students, many of whom may only have one or two semesters of schooling left. CSUSM receives approximately $500,000 annually to keep this program running. The governor's proposed budget would cut about $74 million dollars from the CSU and $52 million from student outreach programs in 2004-2005, leaving the EOP, with an entire budget of $37 million, completely gone. The results of the EOP program at CSUSM have been remarkable, financially and academically. Out of the 309 EOP grants offered, all were awarded. In addition, EOP first-year student retention rates range from the 90 percentile, while regulatory CSUSM-admitted first-time freshman only hit a 70.5 percent retention rate. The program not only assists EOP students financially, but it also provides personal and academic counselors. Students like Janet Perez may use the retention center, which provides a mini computer lab, f ree printing for its students and lent-out laptops for students Proposition 56 would modify budget process By KEVIN BRABEC Pride StaffWriter Proposition 56 is on the March 2004 ballot in order to change the requirements of the California budget-making process by modifying the^ state constitution. The areas iiivolved are the state's budget and budget-related taxes. If passed, the proposition would decrease the . current two-thirds (67 percent) approval requirement to 55 percent approval f rom both houses of the legislation. In other words, it would take fewer votes on the proposed budget plan to get it passed on to the next level. California is one of three states — the others being Rhode Island and Arkansas — that have a two-thirds requirement in place. Currently, if both houses of the legislature approve the proposed budget by two-thirds or mòre, the plan is then forwarded on to the governor for his approval. At that point it is up to the governor to either approve it, thus putting it in to affect, or to require changes and resubmission at a later date. The governor has to sign a budget for it to be put into affect, giving him the ultimate say on the proposed budget. This leads into one of the proposition's changes.

"Our goal at EOP is to support our students in any way we can, said Lorena Meza, Director of Student Support Services and the Educational Opportunity Program. We thrive on long term student success through university access providing academic advising and educational counseling, and offering academic support. That's why so many of our students are successful." Meza, who is a product of the EOP herself, shared some insight on the cuts that may occur as early as June of this year. "The keystones of the CSU were access and affordability, and now they are targeting the neediest programs. People often wonder why these students are getting free photocopies, personalized counseling, mid-semester evaluations and grants, but they don't realize that many of these students barely have any food to eat at home." Photo by Sarah Csrim/The Pride The EOP, which does not target specific ethnicities, age groups, or gender groups, solely bases the student's eligibility on total annual income. A student living as an independent who makes no more than $9,900 annually would be eligible for these services and grants from the EOP. The grants range from $400-$1000, and help the students buy books, bus passes, and other necessities.

The Chancellor proposed to the Board a 5 percent, or approximately 20,000-student, enrollment reduction plan uniformly among all 23 CSU campuses. Enrollment reductions must be "immediately implemented," explained the Chancellor, "Because the application period ended at the end of November. Students are waiting to hear about being admitted to CSU." About 2 percent of the 5 percent reduction will be able to attend a community college in order to complete 60 hours of lower GE requirements. Upon completion of an AA degree, "we would guarantee them that they could get into a CSU," stated Chancellor Reed. He further explained that this proposed measure would save the CSU system approximately $100 million. The Governor's Office made four recommendations in lieu of the proposed budget cuts: First, the new budget set the following fee structure: a 10 percent fee increase for undergraduate students, 40 percent for graduate students, and a 20 percent increase for non-residents, on top of other fees. Chancellor Reed expressed agreement with the Governor's policy recommendations for "a more stable fee policy." "He has recommended a cap on fees based upon personal income growth," said Chancellor Reed. Second, the Governor recommended CSU schools redirect 10 percent, or 4,000 first-time freshmen to community colleges. Criteria have not yet been established for "some fair and equitable basis" for determining which freshmen would be affected, the Chancellor admitted, although he affirmed, "we're going to really look hard about how we can do that." Third, Chancellor Reed expressed support for the Governor's proposed "Excess .Credit Hour Policy," according to which students taking more than 10 percent above their required units for graduation would be charged " full price." As a result, students who now pay about 20 percent of the cost for education, or about $2,000, would pay about $10,000 in tuition. The Chancellor noted, "We can work on that. We think the policy ought to be about fif- teen percent. Academic advising, course offerings need to be a lot clearer. Maybe we would only allow students to change their major once." Fourth, the Governor recommended eliminating EOP (Education Opportunity Program) and outreach programs, with which the Chancellor summarily disagreed, stating that, "We can prove that students that participated in EOP programs graduate at about a thirty percent rate better than students that don't." He responded to the proposal by saying, "We think we can do something creative and keep our EOP programs, rather than just wipe them out. We would rather reduce our enrollment than do away with our EOP outreach programs." Chancellor Reed invited students, faculty, staff, and presidents to come to the Chancellor's Office in February to a planned Budget Summit to work on some of the proposed ideas. Chancellor Reed called the budget "not a pretty picture," and expressed concern that if the proposed $15 billion bond on the March 2 ballot fails, "I'm afraid we're back at ground zero, and the potential for cutting the University goes up tremendously " Proposition 55, an initiative on the upcoming March ballot that could "get California out of the hole," will be paid back over 7 to 8 years, and will give $12.2 billion to public schools, community colleges, as well as the CSU and UC systems for new building construction, with the CSU share being approximately $770 million, explained Chancellor Reed. The Chancellor expressed hope that students would support Prop. 55, urging them that, "It is very important that all of our students know how important this is." In a last agenda item apart from, but closely related to the budget, Chancellor Reed emphasized the need to publicize information concerning Cal Grant programs. "California is fortunate that we have a very good financial aid program. Many of our students qualify for Cal Grants, but many of our students don't know the deadline to apply." He compelled students to acquire Cal Grant forms at the Financial Aid Office, to have them completed and post-marked before the March 2 deadline. "Tens of thousands of our students are eligible for Cal Grants," he stated, who will miss their opportunity if the deadline expires.

By TOR FREED Pride StaffWriter It seems the red planet is much more familiar and probably a whole lot more exciting than democratic candidates facing each other to see who will get the nomination and the arduous task of facing George Bush in the upcoming presidential elections. For those who missed it, Howard Dean has been the democratic front-runner on his anti-war, anti-Bush campaign but his angry tirades have left many democrats doubting his ability to lead the country. This became apparent when presidential hopeful John Kerry won the caucas in Iowa and New Hampshire despite endorsements for Dean by former vice-president A1 Gore and other influential democrats. Even more amazing is that Kerry's political campaign was close to having the last nail in the coffin before this stunning turnaround. This is hugely important for democrats because Kerry, former Vietnam veteran and Purple Heart recipient, has a chance against Bush and those wanting a strong military. Vbters on the fence cannot overlook this. The Pride ventured out among the students to see what they felt about this new turn of events. Gary Taylor, senior and former veteran seemed like a good start. Taylor is president of the CSUSM veterans association and describes himself as a former 'train fighter' after falling into a train in Bosnia that rendered his left arm disabled and missing part of his left leg. An ambitious man taking eighteen units and continuing on to law school, Taylor was bound to have an opinion about the latest events. "I haven't had time to pay attention because I carry eighteen units," said Taylor. "I was leaning towards Wesley Clark until he compared Bush with a two-bit dictator, not very professional for a general." Taylor doubts very seriously if he will consider voting for a democrat. Melissa Thompson, senior, has not been paying close attention. She was busy doing some sort of advanced math when The Pride posed the question. Thompson said, "Howard Dean's rampage strengthens Bush's chances for re-election." A trip to the T.K.E. pledge stand might have been a bad idea considering that when I asked about the democratic turn of events the response was, "Dude, I 've been sleeping all day, why don't you ask one of those guys?" I asked one of those guys, and he said he had no clue and what was going on with that. Amy Weaver, junior^ said she understood the implications, and if a democratic hopeful could inject some much needed money into the education system. Photo by Tor Freed/The Pride G ary Taylor "No, I was not aware (of Kerry's win) of that," Weaver said. "I try not to watch the news, the local news. I try to watch C.N.N but I haven't had time since school started." When asked if a democratic president could help the budget crisis looming at CSU universities Weaver said, "I think the democrats and the republicans agree on a lot of the same things. The platform issues. And unfortunately, education is going to suffer. Even Bush is for education, his wife is a teacher." Ashley Stuart, sophomore, was the only person I interviewed who knew about Kerry's win, but she was not happy with the process. "What really drives me crazy is all the finger pointing. (Candidates) don't really seem to care about people," said Stuart. "And the ads, they drive me crazy too, it's all Hollywood." Stuart also said that neither party is going to help reverse the downward trend in spending on education. "I really don't see any big change with regards to party." "I don't pay attention to that stuff until they're here in California," said junior, Stephanie Allen. "I won't know everything, but I 'll know a little."

Dance program global and growing By LAURA WHITAKER Pride Staff Writer Professor Karen Schaffman brings not only what she calls her post-modern approach to dance to the campus, but a very global awareness of dance. Much to my surprise (and delight) there is more going on in the CSUSM Dance Program than I thought. A small but strong division of the Visual and Performing Arts Department, the Dance Program was originally taught off-campus at the Escondido Center for The Arts by adjunct faculty. In the last few years, however, Professor Schaffman arrived, bringing the classes on campus, and giving the program a whole new spin. Schaffman teaches several classes, including Global Modern Dance, which focuses on world dance forms. "The dance program is very interdisciplinary right now," Schaffman said. " I'm very interested in mixing dance with video and sampled music." She also facilitates a modern dance class in contemporary technique, and a choreography workshop which run back to back on Monday and Wednesday for those interested in movement classes. In addition to this, there is a new Dance 10Í class based on dance appreciation, and a class that crosses with women's studies called Women in Performance Choreography. In fact, there are some new classes in the works, including a history of modern and postmodern dance, and a course on dance and new media. Schaffinan is currently working collaboratively with Kristine Diekman, Tony Allard, and William Bradbury on such multimedia based endeavors. In the past few years, the dance program has hosted numerous performances and artist residencies for companies such as Urban Bush Women, Korean National University of the Arts, as well as African, Filipino, and local performance styles. In regard to campus-wide dance activities go, Laurence Bolotin, the ASI coordinator of student programs and services, has helped put together free fitness and leisure courses in the Clarke Field House. Among these are included a Belly Dancing and an African Dance class. ASI is also forming a iiip-hop group called Jam Control. As far as the future of the dance program, "It looks to expanding dance by bringing it into other disciplines," said Schaffinan. This fall there will even be a minor in dance available for interested students. "The future for dance at San Marcos is growing," Schaffinan said.

Photo by Sarah CsatinJThe Pride B y L ORIANN S AMANO Pride Staff Writer Now that Cal State University San Marcos has this big beautiful brand new library, you could be wondering why the building is named after a cereal company. Well it's true. William Keith Kellogg II, who grew up learning the family business in a cereal factory, and Janet "Jean" Kellogg, both are who our library is named after. William Keith Kellogg II learned the family business from his grandfather Kellogg in Battle Creek, Michigan. Now, William Keith and Janet "Jean" Kellogg are well known for their long history of philanthropy with many institutions. Senior Kellogg started the W. K. Kellogg Foundation in the 1930's. He donated a major portion of his fortune, including donating his 800-acre ranch in Pomona, his herd of registered Arabian horses and $600,000 to the University of California; which would establish the ranch site for Cal Poly Pomona. The naming processes of CSU buildings works, in that, the names are approved by the Cal State University Board of Trustees upon the recommendation of the campus. The trustees consider the donor and her pr his background, the donor's history or relationship with the campus and the amount of the donation. The amount must be substantial and in relation the Kellogg's have asked to keep it private. We can tell you that the donation was in the seven figures range. The Kellogg's have been long time supporters of CSUSM since 1997. One of their first gifts to the CSUSM campus helped complete preliminary planning so that the library project was moved up on the CSU priority list, and resulted in the building being completed several years before the original planned date. The Kellogg's did not just give their money but encouraged others to donate as well. This strategy is used in a manner that when, for example, $1 is given, the match doubles the gift to $2.

We want our people looked after; we want a health state. OfrC tz> E e A S o M Even during these times, California is not in such a state of shock that we can't support our Educational Opportunity Programs (EOP). Gov. Schwarzenegger proposes to do so next semester. When the Governor revoked $23.7 from the CSU last semester he started a chain reaction. The latest is that Schwarzenegger illegally repealed the triple car tax last year. He replaced that fee by decreasing support to UC and CSU schools. Basically he's kicking the ladder out from those who depend on it. A group of college students, namely in the UC system, is suing the Governor. They found a law saying the tax can only be lowered if there is enough money in the California's fund to cover existing programs, like Cal State's EOP. Cindy Gutierrez, a student enrolled in EOP, said she could have gone to college without the outreach, but it's hard to say. She started in AVID while younger, and then got into college programs. One point she made clear though — not all students at CSUSM would be here now without the outreach programs. EOP helps those students stay in v school when they get here. Some in the nation say that the EOP and outreach programs are a waste of money — taxpayer money. The Citizens Against Gov- $110 million for the next year-and-a-half. California's budget is obviously an issue. But in a state where the median home costs $430,000 dollars, why can't Californians give the $110 million to support the EOP and outreach programs in both the CSU and the UC systems. They can, and that's the burden of EOP. The Starbucks invasion I By CLAUDESAYF Pride StaffWriter MAR*»!? Christina Sanchez-Weston Partying or studying ever cause you pain when trying to wake up after a long night of doing either? Weli one well known way of surviving long lecture classes is some coffee. Whether you like just plain old coffee with crème and sugar from 7-11 or a double whipped, fat free, extra hot, grande, carmel mocciatto from Starbucks , a coffee shop is a wonderful sight to your tired eyes. But if you ask me enough is enough. You can now find a Starbucks on every street corner in every major city in the United States. I also heard through the grape STUDENT BIER NUTS ernment Waste issued a report stating that the outreach and EOP programs are higher education marketing ploys that have no purpose. What they're not mentioning is the market that higher education is soliciting to. That's the point — reaching students that normally wouldn't make it into college. If we look at California's general fund, then it seems like a small portion to keep the outreach programs in California running — only B y: C had S pinks ^ Y Doctor t*>M> T WAT N Y gAD / tlTlTUDE" ¿ R W 5 /V U>T oÇ N e ^ T î V ^ £N WHICH CW M TKACT T W ^KßHi* KWD OP t > F o T > L E A N t ) WT rtF I K / W H P U L SlTV/VriONS vine that there is one opening up in the temples of Nepal. Starbucks has invaded the United States faster than Juan Valdez can say no bueno. And now we've allowed it to invade our campus. Their overpriced coffee is about to put the little refreshment cart in front of Academic Hall out of business — the epitome of the corporate giant swallowing up the little mom and pop stores. But it seems the trend is here to say. Starbucks seems to be a very profitable company to invest in. How do I know? Well maybe the fact that not only is there one on campus but there is another one about a quarter mile down the road in the Ralph's shopping center tells me. I also know of a few other spots in San Diego where Starbucks shops are within a quarter mile of each other. How much more trendy can it get? It will be scary when property values go up due to a Starbucks being built in a neighborhood. But at the rate Starbucks is going, I wouldn't totally dismiss the idea. Starbucks is a billion dollar company and I don't think the removal of the one on campus will break the company. I do know that it would probably save the livelihood of the person who owns the little cart in front of Academic Hall if we remove the Starbucks. It would help us students a lot more to put a store like a Costco for books. Cheaper books store not overpriced coffee. �CSUSM Calendar ByMKHAELDOLAN Pride Ombudsman Feb 3-10 Last week's edition of The Pride was g ood However, I fear that the goodness o f that issue might have been missed since I still have not received any. feedback this semester. Not one word of praise or the more popular criticism of The Pride, that is often astute and helpful, has come my way in the first couple of weeks» I am adamant about wanting reader feedback since that is what the ombudsman is here to manage: the focus of my column is to facilitate your thoughts into constructive improvements of both the quality and the content of The Pride. I know there are many of you out there who have strong opinions about The Pride. If you need some ideas for responses, I could think of a couple of prompts. One question I think should be asked of The Pride is why is it that The Pride has not conducted an interview with our university's new president, Karen Haynes, yet this semester? A new president greatly affects our campus and the absence of an interview with her in the first two issues is enough to spatk some criticism, I think. I feel Chancellor Reed's article about the proposed budget for the CSU and the consequences of that budget is enough to spark some inquiries as well. The impending budget cuts stand to reduce the availability of classes and increase fees into the future. H ie Pride will be covering stories concerning the budget calamity throughout the semester. Let me know if there is a particular aspect of program being cut or an inconvenience that needs to be addressed and it will be considered. The above ideas are just two of many more that are out there. E-mail m e with your thoughts on what The Pride is doing right and where it is lacking.

A San Marcos native, co-owner Jason Simmons wants the Blvd to be a versatile establishment where the entire community can feel at home. "We kind of look at this place as San Marcos's palate, and let the customers and the clientele and the community paint the picture." In shaping a place which appeals to all facets of the community, the owners have kept the college students in mind. The Blvd brings an urban, beach-style atmosphere to inland San Marcos, giving local college students a fresh, modern venue to call their own. The spacious, newly finished dining room with a large stage and dance floor, offers sleek, black booths and a full bar. The walls, Photo by Melissa Rodriguez/77re Pride Bartenders Troy Payton, Aaron Mock (above left) and Shawn Cameron (above) show off their skills behind the bar. although freshly painted, have an aged, Spanish look about them. There is also a ten foot projection screen. The Blvd's outdoor patio area takes inspiration from the beach, with its two lava rock fire pits and a glass waterfall that lights up at night. There is an outside bar as well. There is also a room known as the "Dragon Lounge," because it used to be a Chinese restaurant. Offsetfromthe main dining room, the Dragon Lounge is smaller with a full bar, plasma screen TVs, red light fixtures, and carved doors. Realizing the diversity within the college community itself, the Blvd will offer a variety of options for students. "Most of the college students in this area have very limited choices," Simmons states, "so we're trying to provide as many choices as possible within our own venue." The Blvd will feature different music throughout the week including punk rock, reggae, hip hop, jazz, and acoustic bands. The menu is reasonably priced and provides variety as well, with an extensive selection of appetizers— ranging from corn dogs to coconut shrimp—salads, pastas, and half pound burgers. Simmons adds that initial conversations between the Blvd and CSUSM have begun, hoping to create a community between the Blvd and the college. Sometime in the spring, he wishes to host festivals in the dorm's quad. Simmons has also initiated discussion with the art department on campus. The Blvd was fully opened for business Saturday, January '31, and Simmons looks forward to seeing how the community will respond to the Blvd in the weeks to come. "We don't know exactly what we're going to end up with in three months or three years, or whatever it is, but the market and community will kind of dictate to us what they want to see happening here." Simmons and the other owners hope to eventually expand the Blvd to San Diego and Orange County. 'A date w9ith Tad Hamilton a tad bit predictable By ZELYNDA SMITH Pride StaffWriter If you haven't already seen "Win A Date With Tad Hamilton," but you've seen other teen aged romantic comedies, you can pretty much understand the concept of this one. Topher Grace, from the hit T.V. series "That 70's Show," plays Pete, a focused and warmhearted supermarket manager in Frasier's Bottom, West Virginia. He suffers from a childhood crush on his co-worker Rosalie (Kate Bosworth) that eventually evolved into much more. Over the years the two remain the best of friends. But when she wins a date with her dream guy, Hollywood heart-throb, Tad Hamilton (Josh Duhamel), things get a bit more interesting. Blinded by his Hollywood image Rosalie fails to see Tad's true colors. Tad becomes convinced that she has more to offer then the big-shot models that he's used to dating. She proves that she can be just as captivating without sacrificing her morals and for the first time Hollywood's leading man falls in love. Meanwhile, Tad and Pete continuously compete for her affection and the question that the movie proposes is inevitably: Do nice guys really finish last? Although the movies plot line was cliché, the writing wasn't terrible. At times I really felt Rosalie's happiness as well as her indecision. Photo courtesy of DreamWorks Pictures Topher Grace and Kate Bosworth play small town grocery store employees that are star struck when a famous actor played by Josh Duhamel c omes to town. Unfortunately there were times when the movie tended to be all too predictable. I caught my mind wandering out of the story and wondering why Rosalie's eyes were two different colors (I'm almost positive that Director, Robert Luketic, didn't want his audience to focus on that), so a twist in the story would have been welcome. The soundtrack was a big help to my enjoyment of this film. It was upbeat and sassy. From Barry White to Jewel, this soundtrack won the movie some major points. Overall, "Win A Date With Tad Hamilton" helps jolt the memory of that first love and all the essential steps that it took to get it. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

February, also known as Black History Month, seems extra special this year. Electing Barack Obama as the f irst black president is, for this generation, as important and unforgettable as the long list of events and people in black history. Year a fter year, black people continue making strides towards a progressive f uture. Nonetheless, there are several individuals who are precursors to the history made January 20th. President Obama j oins the r anks of these individuals that continue to inspire the cultural experience of a changing world. The premise of Black History Month originated in 1916, when Dr. Carter G. Woodson and Rev. Jesse E. Moorland, co-founders of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, published The Journal of Negro History. The j ournal was a compilation of research the two men conducted to help create awareness of the impact black people played in America. Woodson also published the j ournal in hopes that it would instill pride among the black community. Woodson, himself, was the son of a former slave and the second black person to graduate f rom Harvard University. Woodson advocated for the f raternity Omega Psi Phi to create Negro History and Lit- Lo 56° erature Week in 1920.

For example, I can't stand it when I'm trying to eat some colonel at a certain fried chicken franchise with friends, all the while, little baby loud mouth is screaming his/ her head off and throwing his/her cheaply made plastic toy he/she got with his/her meal.. .at me! We've all been in that situation before, and if you haven't, feel sorry for me and send me a basket offruitto console my terrible fast food experiences. Now, why am I discussing a topic that might have nothing to do with sex? Well, keep reading and I'll tell you! (Jeez, chill out.) Ironically enough, this situation paints a, somewhat, accurate description to what some may have gone through during sex. First, everything is great: you're enjoying yourself and taking part in something that you personally enjoy. Then, all it takes is one fateful action to turn what was once a delicious grilled cheese sandwich into a damp square of cold mush. (Yes, a sandwich filled with cheese... and sex!) So, what is it that causes t hese s udden outbursts of moment destroyers? Is it involuntary? Have you just always wanted to try it? Or are you just misreading your partner? Let's be serious for a bit, sex is a serious and beautiful thing. It is a union that is shared with you and your partner, and hopefully, it is something that you do out of love. That being said, there is nothing at all wrong with enjoying the experience of sharing an intimate moment with your significant other and tailoring to suit your (and your partner's) needs. The only downfall is that you have to know what your partner likes before you try it. For example, "talking dirty" is quite the popular way to spice up one's sex life. But sometimes, you'll find some people out there that don't much care for it, personally, I think it's a little cliché, and preferably, only best suited for Steve Carell's portrayal of a 40-year old virgin. But there are many ways that one can help to give his/her partner "what they like" and receive it in return as well. Whether it be something as adventurous as different positions, to something as simple as the way your partner dresses or expresses themselves. That being said, let's get to know some of our fellow cougar's interests when it comes to sex and relationships. Anonymously, of course. To get a broad sense of what some look for in a partner, I asked variety of people with differing gender identifications and sexual orientations. Name one turn on and one turn off when it comes torelationships: Male, 21, heterosexual: "I love confident girls who are comfortable with themselves and who they are. And I'm definitely not into girls that worry about what they eat." Female, 19, heterosexual: "Plain jealousy is just horrible. I like the "little things," like just calling just, because and visiting me at work. It lets me know that they care." Male, 22, homosexual: "I like someone who can hold a good conversation and is open to trying new things. And I don't like someone who has no "drive" or life goals. They would rather stay home all the time then go out every once in awhile." Name one turn on and one turn off when it comes to sex (if sexually active): Male, 21, heterosexual: "I definitely love girls in heels, because it accentuates their legs and their buttocks. I really don't like girls that are into weird stuff, like role-playing as sexy ninjas or astronauts. Female, 19, heterosexual: "I hate when they only think about pleasing themselves, I'm like, "Hey! What happened to my needs!?" I like constant touching, like cud- dling or just holding each other. The love just keeps coming. Male, 22, homosexual: like when the other gets really "into it" by not holding back their moans and is somewhat aggressive but not overt. I don't like if the other person does not reciprocate or "give back" during sex and is unadventurous when it comes to new sexual positions or techniques." Obviously, these are all individual preferences and are all respected. While anonymous, I applaud this diverse group of people for sharing their experiences with such a sensitive topic. But just remember, whatever you and your sexual partner may enjoy doing, make sure you do it (pun intended) safely and mutually. And never let anyone get you down about what you enjoy doing and talking about, everyone is different and each have their own preferences. Just remember to keep communication with your partner open and free of discomfort. So if your significant other decides to utilize the dreaded whips and chains in your next encounter, talk to them. You are just not into that kind of thing*right?So make sure you tell them that, for the sake of your bum. I love Wikipedia BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer Wikipedia is the infamous database of information that any Internet user can edit. Society has given the online encyclopedia reputation of misinformation and unreliability. Found at wikipedia.org, this free encyclopedia boasts 2,718, 815 articles for any user to edit. Despite all this, I love Wikipedia. Many professors tell me to ignore Wikipedia because it is unreliable and not a valid source for information. As I progress in college, I find more and more ways to use Wikipedia. It is time to embrace Wikipedia for the potential it has as a resource.

Spangenberg. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the real Gross Domestic Product decreased by 3.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2008. The current number is based on estimates. The actual GDP is set for release on February 27. The BEA states that the real GDP decreased mainly to a decline in exports, equipment, and software. In order for the United States to officially be in a recession, the real GDP must decrease two quarters in a row. A slumping GDP and a rising unemployment rate are all negative signs for Cougars. Current students must compete with those that were laid off, and even some who seek a second job for additional income. Future graduates might experience difficulty in finding career opportunities. "I lost a lot of money in my stocks, around 3,000 to 4,000 dollars. It was supposed to be money for my graduate school tuition.

DuPont believes that the math lab's real goal is to refine students' basic math skills. "They learn terminology, mixed numbers, improper fractions, and how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide," says DuPont. "The big thing," DuPont believes, "is they get excited about college." The math lab is open Monday and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. No appointments are necessary.

Recyclemania is a nation wide competition between over 500 colleges and universities for the national Recycling and Waste diversion title. CSUSM proudly continues to hold the title it first obtained in 2005. "We got a random e-mail asking if we wanted to join. We didn't know what it was but thought, 'what the heck, let's give it a t ry!'" said Carl Hanson, Department Manager of Custodial Services at CSUSM. "At that point, there were only 43 colleges and universities competing. We won it hands down from start to finish. It astounded us." Recyclemania began in 2001 as a small competition between two Ohio colleges. It contin- ued to spread and gain popularity. This year, Recyclemania includes about 510 colleges and universities. Hanson urges everyone to keep on recycling. Contributions may include plastic bottles number 1-7, cans, glass bottles and jars, cardboard, paper, and pre and post consumer food. The competition runs from January 18 through March 28. Recyclemania consists of different subcategories: gross weight, per capita, and recycle percentage of total refuse. Hanson believes that CSUSM's secret success is due in part to the already established social climate in regards to recycling, adding that, "we didn't have to create something new or try to change attitudes." Carl also offers credit to the cafeteria personnel and the Foundation for the job they do at the beginning of the waste stream. It begins with choosing packaging materials. Years ago, the choice material was Styro- year. foam, which cannot be recycled. • "They have been very enthuRegardless of the downstream siastic and we look forward to effort, if the start is wrong, their contributions," Hanson the end product will ultimately said, adding that Faculty Services Director Ed Johnson also fail.

Even in simple situations, such as going to check a fire alarm or replace a light bulb, it is reassuring to know I can count on them. Recently, while still completing their daily task, the maintenance crew worked with an outside crew and put in a fountain. The new fountain is beautiful and will be a pleasant sight for anyone who walks by the UVA. Everyone responsible for com- pleting this installation deserves praise. As an RA, I am ready to handle parties, emotional breakdowns, and roommate conflict. Yet, I cannot fix some things. They make my job easier when something goes wrong and a resident needs my help. That is why I must give all thanks to the friendly and hardworking maintenance staff. UniversityVoice Photos by Gabi Martinez ¿¡Pride Staff Wrîtër What does Black History Month mean to you?

The program places each intern with members of Congress who represent California. The application process has several requirements. Students interested in applying must be a junior or senior with a 3.00 GPA or above. Other requirements include a letter of application, a school transcript, and at least two letters of recPhoto courtesy Jenny McDonald ommendation from fac- ulty. After students apply, there is an interview process where CSUSM's committee headed by Erika Kirst, Coordinator of Greek Life and Leadership Programs, interviews applicants to select one student to represent the campus in Washington. There are many benefits from this program. "It is an honor to be part of it because it is unique, only one student is selected from each campus," said Kirst. Another great benefit is that the program pays for the interns' expenses such as housing and air travel. Interns also receive stipends to cover other expenses. "I encourage students to take advantage of this opportunity," Kirst added. Among other benefits, interns can earn up to 20 units during the semester. Last semester, junior Jennifer McDonald was the student representative for CSUSM. McDonald emphasizes that student applicants do not necessarily have to be a specific major. Photo courtesy Jenny McDonald "It is something really beneficial for anyone who wants to work in government, policy, or the media. It is a one of kind opportunity," McDonald said. The Congressional Internship Program is an excellent opportunity to build connections in Washington, D.C. McDonald's internship included many unique experiences such as going to the White House and Congressional hearings. "I got to meet people who write our laws, who have been influential for the past 30 # years," said McDonald. One of McDonald's most mem- orable moments was when, President Bush's Chief of Staff, Joshua Bolten, talked to other interns and her for almost an hour and took questions from them. Another highlight of her experience was to be in Washington, D.C. when historical events such as the 2008 election and the financial bailout occurred.

They will work on the deconstruction of older properties to make way for new ones, and refurbish older houses for new occupants to move into. "It's a whole other level of volunteering," says Jamie Inarda, a CSUSM senior who went on the trip to New Orleans last year. "It's a great way to have fun, make friends, and do something good for a community in need." Another CSUSM student, Kyle Gregory, also attests to the program's benefits. "You get a lot more out of it than you would out of a traditional spring break. It's a fun experience and gives you a sense of accomplishment as well," Gregory said. While the program seems more work oriented than a usual vacation, they make time to have fun as well. This year, in addition to volunteering, the group will take time to visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and watch a Cleveland Cavaliers game. Typically, there are only ten spots available for students to go, and the sign up time is during the fall semester. Though it is too late to sign up for this year's alternative spring break, returning students can still sign up for next year during fall of2009.

BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Editor-In-Cheif Girls, how many times have people told you that you are wasting your time with the guy you always have to call or the one who only wants to see you when he's drunk? How often do you listen? How often do you sit around with your girlfriends analyzing and psychoanalyzing his every word and move?18® Maybe the answer to all your troubles is simple. Maybe, he's just not that into you. , The best seller-made-into-movie formula seems the best way nowadays to increase readership. The Boston Herald claims the book "could save a generation of women who would be wasting their lives waiting by the phone." "Sex and the City"firstcoined the phrase that inspired the book title. In fact, authors Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo worked as writers on the popular show. The countless conversations that took place in the "Sex and the City" writing room inspired this self-help book foj: womeri; Written from the advice of a man, "HJNTIY" "matterof-fact"-ly evaluates the classical scenarios most women go through in the dating world. With chapters entitled "He's Just Not That Into You If He's Not Asking You Out" and "He's Just Not That Into You If He's Disappeared On You," Behrendt promotes a bit of tough love to readers while Tuccillo acts as the voice of understanding, often relaying the "easier said than done" mentality most women may encounter while reading. Though Tuccillo experienced many of the scenarios presented in the book, she ultimately sides with Behrendt's verdict on the matter, citing her failed success rate as proof. At the end of each chapter, Behrendt backs up his advice with statistics. In the chapter entitled "He's Just Not That Into You If He's Not Dating You," Behrendt discredits the excuse that men are afraid of intimacy stating, "100% of guys polled said 'a fear of intimacy' has never stopped W ord(s ) Qwertyuiop /ml U sually t h e t op l ike o f a k eyboard, q wer- them from getting into a relationship." One guy quoted even said, "That's just what we say to girls when we're just not that into them " J? Though the book may come off a bit harsh, it has the best intentions. It offers women the opportunity to have control over their dating life by setting themselves to a new standard. By adopting the principle, "he's just not that into you," women can spare themselves the tears and heartache and take comfort in knowing how to identify the right guy when he comes along. The book motivates women to consider themselves the rule and not the exception when dating. We've all heard the story about the girl who pursued the guy and they ended up living happily ever after or the one where the guy treated the girl he was sleeping with awful for a few years and then one day he realized he loved her. "HJNTIY" commands women to erase these stories from their memory reminding women that they are exceptional but not the exception. Any woman out linflge there stands to benefit from reading the book. Whether you are single, in a relationship, or even married, pick it up and give it a shot. The 150 plus pages are an easy read and even if you yourself are blissfully content with your love life, chances are you hiave a friend out there who could benefit from these words of wisdom.

The answer will differ from man to woman, young to the old, right? Did these vaginas talk to you? What did they say? Eve Ensler would agree that vaginas do indeed talk and they have a lot to say. Well who the hell is Eve Ensler? Her vagina would say that she is many things: a playwright, a feminist, an anti-violence activist, and a vagina advocate. Ensler began writing monologues based on the interviews of nearly 200 women about various topics such as sex, orgasms, and female mutilation centered on what Oprah Winfrey calls the "Va-jay jay." The Vagina Monologues were first shown off-Broadway in 1996 but since its debut, it gained popularity, gaining vagina-friendly fans across the nation. Oh, and yes there are some international vagina advocate proponents as well. After seeing one performance the vagina will no longer be taboo. For Ensler, the vagina is something to be celebrated, cherished, and adored; it should be free from violence and injus- cream in the actual ingredients. A milk chocolate brown radiates from the glass. Wafts of chocolate bliss fill the surrounding air. The liquid enters the mouth and gingerly scrubs the tongue and taste buds.

BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer In tough economic times, Hollywood can count on this weekend for a big haul. This week's line-up features several big name films that will compete for the top box office spot. All the films have potential to be very good and bad. It is just a matter of how far they are willing to go on that spectrum. 0 First on the list is a pair « that I expect to find in the \ Razzies nominations next ^ year. For some reason, Hollywood is still willing to give the Wayne's Brothers money to make movies They have titled their latest abomination "Dance Flick." This genre of lame parodies spawned by "Scary Movie" and continued by the Wayne's Brothers and others such as Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer needs to go away. It makes me sick to see these unoriginal films referencing and exploiting other movies. I will not subject myself to this weak parody of dance movies, and I urge you to do the same. Another waste of money coming out this week is "The Pink Panther 2." Steve Martin returns in this sequel to a remake. Hollywood should not have made thefirstSteve Martin "Pink Panther." The originals are brilliant. The only way movies like "Dance Flick" and "Pink Panther 2" will stop being made is if people stop going to see them.

The Lakers beat the Cavaliers despite Kobe dislocating his finger. They play well despite a string of injuries, and continue to improve their skills (although they need a stronger defense with reliable defensive/offensive rebounding). The Celtic romping of the Lakers in last year's championship series left an indelible sting on Laker morale. Despite last year's loss and obsessive cheers of "Beat LA," the Lakers have assembled an all-star cast of players.

Henry Selick directs this stop motion animatedfilm.Selick produced a few stop motion gems including "The Nightmare before Christmas" and "James and the Giant Peach." Dakota Fanning stars in "Coraline," providing the voice for the main character. The story comes from Neil Gaiman's best selling novella of the same name. It follows Coraline, a young girl who finds a secret door into an alternate reality where fantasy and adventure ensue. I hope that this will be more like Selick's other stop motion films rather than his other movie, "Monkeybone." Dakota Fanning also stars in the slick action film "Push." She least not from the Lakers. * My opinion is biased and does not reflect the views of the NBA. Do not blame me if the Lakers perform poorly. Quality of performance is subject to change.

Michael talks to the interview camera, alone in his office. Michael Scott - At the end of our Christmas parties on Friday I always leave a pair of cookies and milk out on the front desk for Santa, as I am the last to leave. On that following Monday, I rush to the office to see if Santa ate the cookies and drank the milk. Every time I come back, the cookies are always gone, but the milk is still there. Maybe Santa is lactose-intolerant. According to my experience, Santa is lactose-intolerant, which confuses me, because I always wondered how Santa got to be so fat.

Latina Dance Project BY CONSUELO MARTINEZ Pride Staff Writer Students will have the opportunity to participate and learn about the hybrid work of the Latina Dance Project. The Latina Dance Project is a group of four women who bring their unique cultural and social perspectives of Latina life in the United States. The 3-day residency of the piece ""Coyolxauhqui Remembers," will take place at Cal State San Marcos with their f irst event a lecture/demonstration on February 4, 7 p.m. in ARTS 111. "Coyolxauhqui Remembers," a modern tale of Coyolxauhqui, the Aztec moon goddess, "is retold through four stories of victimization, feminization, objectification/dismemberment which are brought together in the myth of the moon goddess," according to the program description. The f irst event at CSUSM will be a performance and lecture where attendees will get a preview of the f ull performance to take place at MiraCosta College on February 6. Marilyn Huerta, the Arts and Lectures Coordinator at CSUSM, says the event at CSUSM is f ree to students and the community and all are welcome to attend. Dr. Arcela Nunez-Alvarez of the National Latino Research Center says, "It is important to support cultural events like the Latina Dance Project because they reinforce the need to recognize our cultural traditions and also remind us how culture is constantly changing.

Photo courtesy of NASA By ALYSSA FINKELSTEIN L ead Editor For the second time in the last 30 years, the National Aeronautics and Space A dministration (NASA) has lost a space shuttle with astronauts aboard. The explosion of the space shuttle Columbia early last Saturday m orning is the first time in NASA's 42-year history that a shuttle has been lost upon reentry to Earth's atmosphere. Within the last week, NASA has observed the anniversary of its only two other space tragedies, the Challenger explosion, which killed all seven astronauts on board on Jan. 28, 1986, and Apollo I s pacecraft fire that killed three on Jan. 27, 1967. T his was the 88th space flight since the Challenger mission. - Like the Challenger mission, there were seven astronauts aboard Columbia, which had been aiming for 9:16 a.m. landing on Saturday in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Comprised of four US Navy, two US Air Force, and one Israeli Air Force personnel, the crew members lost to the tragedy were Shuttle Commander Rick Husband, Michael Anderson, Kalpana Chawla, William McCool, David Brown, Laurel Clark and Ilan Ramon, who were on their way home f rom a 16-day mission to space when their c raft broke apart. Mission Control in Houston immediately warned residents of the Dallas and Ft. Worth areas in Texas to stay away f rom any falling debris f rom the shuttle "due to the toxic nature of the propellants used aboard the shuttle." The shuttle was 207,000 feet above the E arth's s urface when it disintegrated, ruling out any possibility of a s urface to air missile impact, according to White House press secretary A ri Fleischer. The shuttle was also estimated to have been traveling upwards of 12,000 miles per hour j ust before it broke up and disappeared. spokesperson. A debris field was found in north central Texas. The flag in f ront of the countdown clock at Mission Control in Houston, TX, and in Cape Canaveral, FL, were lowered to half-mast by mid morning Saturday, unofficially acknowledging that the astronauts of the shuttle Columbia had lost their lives. Security had been tight for the 16-day scientific research mission because of the prèsenee of Ramon, the first Israeli astronaut. landing. Space agency officials feared his presence might make the shuttle more of a térrorist target, On Jan. 16, during Coiumbia's l ift o ff, a piece of insulating f oam f rom its external rocket b oosters came o ff and was believed to have struck the l eft w ing of the shuttle L eroy Cain, the lead flight director in Mission Control, assured r eporters Friday that engineers had concluded that any d amage to the wing was considered minor and posed no s afety hazard.

The increase in temperature and recorded wind resistance caused the shuttle's automatic pilot mechanism to change the course of the shuttle during reentry, which should not have caused the shuttle to disintegrate, but may have been an attempt by the ship's computers to avert the inevitable explosion. Another speculation about the demise of Columbia's reentry is that it was first scheduled for l iftoff in July of last year, when the mission was delayed due to a leak in oxygen lines. Columbia had been given all new equipment and instrumentation since that fuel tank, and the spacecraft soon a fter burst into flames. There were no space missions for a f ull two years a fter the Challenger tragedy. The next scheduled NASA mission was for the shuttle Atlantis to leave the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on March 1, 2003, in order to deliver more supplies and equipment to the international space station. Immediate word is that the mission will be postponed until f urther notice, however the Atlantis mission was supposed to deliver a relief crew to the members currently aboard the space station, and bring the current members home.

CaI State San Bernardino Student Charged With Murder CSU college student and his half-brother were arrested and charged for the grizzly murder of their mother By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff-Writer Local law "enforcement arrested Jason V. Bautista, 20, and Matthew B. Montejo, 15, for .the murder of their mother, Jane Marie Bautista. Jane Bautista's dismembered head and hands were found in a duffel bag in an apartment in Riverside; the remains of her body were located down a ravine off of Ortega Highway in Orange County. Police stated that the two defendants allegedly, dismembered their mother's body after her death to conceal her identity. One of the defendants told investigators that the idea to dismember the body came from an episode of "The Sopranos," which is a series about New Jersey mobsters on HBO. According to Orange County police, the brothers first attempted to get rid of the headless body in a sleeping bag in a garbage dumpster at an Oceanside construction site, but MEOICINE IOUCÁTION RESEARCH Jason Bautista's registration were apparently interrupted and a dumpster in the construction scared off by a security guard site and jotted down their license matched that of the license plate seen in Oceanside and he was named Pete Martinez. plate number. later tracked down, after difThe San Diego Union Tribune The LA Times stated, "He ficulty because of the family's reported that Jason Bautista's (Martinez) told police the two recent move six months earlier. legal representative,, attorney males saw him approaching, hurJohn Kremmer, said outside of riedly returned the bundle - with While attending class ? on the courtroom that the two boys a foot protruding from the end Friday, Jan. 24, at Cal State and their mother "had a tumultu- - to their car and drove off."

See MURDER, page 3 Bone Marrow Recruitment Drive Coming To Campus By GERALD JONES Pride Staff Writer The San Diego Blood Bank Stem Cell Donor Center brings "Faces of Hope 2003" to Cal State San Marcos, on Feb. 11 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Founders' Plaza. "Faces of Hope 2003" is a bone marrow and stem cell recruitment campaign that is attempting to recruit a larger and more diverse pool of volunteer donors by targeting members of minority groups. Every year thousands of African Americans, American Indian/Alaska Natives, Asian/ Pacific Islanders and Hispanics are diagnosed with leukemia, aplastic anemia or other lifethreatening blood diseases. The only hope for a cure is finding a donor for a bone marrow or stem cell transplant. However, there are not enough members of these communities donating bone marrow or stem cells. These transplants require matching certain tissue traits of the donor and patient. Because these traits are inherited, the most likely match would be a family member. The problem therein lies due to the fact that 70 percent of the people diagnosed cannot find a match within their own families. Although it is possiblefor a patient to match a donor from any racial or ethnic group, the most common match is someone from his or her own ethnic group. Although many minority patients are finding donors for their transplants, they are still less likely than Caucasians to identify a matched donor. More donors from these ethnic minority groups are still needed, so patients of every racial and ethnic background will have a chance of finding a matched donor. The key qualifications that must be met by possible donors are for her/him to be between the ages of 18 and 60, have no medical history of asthma, cancer, diabetes, heart or circulatory disease, be willing to be a donor for anyone who needs a transplant, and be within 20 percent of her/his ideal weight for her/his height and age. The North County Times, local radio stations, and other media outlets will cover the event. For information those interested can contact the CSUSM coordinator of the event and CSUSM student, Araceli Catalan at catal008@csusm.edu or Veronica Sateler, the Recruitment Specialist with San Diego Blood Bank/ Stem Cell Donor Program at (619) 400-8197. �Students Join Petition to UC President and CSU Chancellor Students and Community Groups Form a Coalition to Fight Against the High Cost of Text Books By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride Staff Writer The Greenlining Institute estimates that students could save approximately 20%-40% each Because a significant number of year on the cost of books if price students believe the costs of text- competition was supported. books are too high, community groups, multi-ethnic advocates, Suggestions offered by The and students themselves are trying Greenlining Institute: to remedy the situation by filing a protest with University of CaliforProvide online versions of highnia (UC) President Richard Atkins cost textbooks. and California State University (CSU) Chancellor Charles Reed.

By MEG EPPEL Pride Staff Writer Last November, California voters passed Propositions 47 and 49, in* part to provide the necessary funds to build new classrooms and provide after school care. However,, since California is now facing a multi-billion dollar deficit, the money allocated for these propositions no longer exists. The loss of these funds will adversely affect the California schools system and its students. According to Ray Sotero, the press secretary for the Budget Department of the Assembly of California, the state budget has an overall deficit of 26 billion dollars. However, Sotero says that Governor Gray Davis has estimated the deficit to be approximately 36 billon dollars. In order to offset the largest deficit in California history, DaVis plans to make cuts throughout all state funded agencies. A onecent increase in sales tax is also planned. The public education system, including K-12, community colleges, UC and CSU schools, will see a loss of approximately 5.4 billion dollars. The CSU system alone will sustain a loss of 59.6 million dollars. The reduction is unallocated to allow the CSU the flexibility to determine where to make the cuts in order to minimize the effects at the schools, according to the Mid-Year Spending Reduction Proposal released by the Governor's office last December. The CSU system has also experienced an influx of 24,000 new students, requiring the schools to maintain the standards expected by the applicants despite the decreasing funds. CSUSM has dealt with the deficit this semester- by increasing tuition fees by Editorial H Staff Alyssa Finkelstein Lead Editor Staff Writers Lead Editor Design Editor News Editor Feature Editor Arts Bàtter Opinion Editor Spanish Editor Sports :pÉor ' tìmoWMm Graduate Intern Jared Thompson, Jeff Brownlee, Jason Padilla, Jeanne Raupp Sapp, Jennifer Rhodus, Gabriel Martin, Dave Werth, Erik Roper, Gerald Jones, Meg Eppel, Julie My res, Jamal Scarlett, Adrian Cundiff.DianaKQ, Caboto, Honee Folk, Araceli Catalan Advisor ', : Martha S arabia Desmond Barca Gail Tarantino Jennifer Acee Chris Martin Chris Martin Martha Sarabia Jessica Krone Desmond Barca Leiana Naholowaa Alyssa Finkelstein i-1 Madeleine Marshall 10 percent. Unfortunately, this will not be the only fee increase that students will experience, because the state has approved a 25 percent increase in tuition fees for the 2003-04 academic year. open in the spring 2003 semester. Spencer McWilliams, dean of the college of arts and sciences, commented that the school would make every effort to provide the classes that students need in order to fulfill their requirements, but may not be able to offer the courses that students want. McWilliams also added that students would have fewer ways to fulfill their course requirements and fewer electives. CSUSM, as well as other state schools, will be receiving more money than in previous years, due to the tuition increase, but it will not be state funded, as explained by CSUSM Director of Communications Rick Moore. Moore stressed that He explained that the uses of CSUSM will try to maintain this money might not be visible its high academic standards, to the student body, since it is particularly the writing difficult for the school to allot requirement.

She has received a grant from the National Institute of Aging to study families who are caring for an Alzheimer's patient. "I have always been interested in how family members respond to one another's development," said Dr. Hamill. The Alzheimer's Association web site, www.alz.org, features educational information about the disease and provides contact information, but does not mention teens, or the special needs or challenges they face when their families are confronted with caring for an AD patient. As Americans are living longer and the average age of the population increases, Dr. Hamill states that the fastest growing segment of the population is people who are 85 years and older. The risk for developing Alzheimer's is expected to increase by between 30 and 50 percent. According to Hamill, the care for these people will fall on the families, "contrary to the Dr. Sharon Hamill, who myth that Americans abandon received her Ph.D. in social ecol- their elderly." ogy from UC Irvine, is a develop- ested in adolescence because it is a period of intense change and growth. "In the case of looking at how Alzheimer's impacts the family, it is important to look at how young people in the family view the disease. Those young people are the future caregivers," she said. Another Alzheimer web site, the National Institute of Aging at www.alzheimers.org, under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, makes a brief mention of teenagers as "secondary caregivers." The site acknowledges that the teens do suffer as a result of their parents' caregiving activities, but gives no specific suggestions about how to help teens cope with the stress. By JEANNE RAUPP SAPP Pride Staff Writer It's hard to think of anything more devastating than looking into the eyes of a loved one and seeing a lack of recognition, or even fear. That is what the families of later stage victims of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) face every day. Much research has been done on the stress faced by primary caretakers, typically the adult children and spouses, who are called the "sandwich generation." Little research, however, has been done on the effects that this caretaking has on the next generation, adolescents between 10 and 22 years old, living in the homes of the caretakers. the_project.htm. Hamill will use the information gathered in the study to create "interventions" for helping multi-generational caregivers. Although there is much to be learned by studying the difficulties in caregiving situations, the study goes beyond that. Hamill said, "By identifying those aspects that are rewarding - and there are some, believe me - we will be able to teach families how they can increase the positive experiences that they have." Along with a staff of graduate students and research assistants, Hamill will conduct phone interviews with the primary adult caregiver, the spouse, and one teen in the family. The family will be paid $15 for participating in a 30-minute phone interview.

For some students, adaptation to the university culture can be difficult and may result in the student dropping out to avoid ambiguous situations. Conversely, students who are integrated into their campus culture are more likely to have a positive college experience. At CSUSM, the Faculty Mentoring Program (FMP) has courageously and successfully created a common and shared community for students who are at risk of having a negative college experience. The primary goal of FMP is to increase retention and graduation rates among these students. The program features mentor-protégé relationships, multiple support services, and sociocultural opportunities. Since its inception in academic year 1991-1992, the FMP has acted as a bridge between students and the educational system. Cd-Directors Vicki Qolich and Edward Pohlert uniquely manage the program with a conscious blend of academic and student service support organizations. At the heart of the program is the mentor-protégé relationship. Mentors consist .of volunteer faculty members who are partnered with student protégés on an individual basis. According to Anna Fleming, FMP support assistant and CSUSM student, the mentor-protégé ratio càn be 1:3 but overwhelmingly is 1: 1 with approximately 80 mentors and 85 protégés. The mentors and protégés meet at an orientation breakfast at the start UÊSW "MMM** COAST GUARD AMD COAST 60ARD RÉSERVE of the school year, where they receive handbooks that explain their respective roles and responsibilities. Thereafter, they are encouraged to meet or make contact monthly and to participate and interact in various FMP-sponsored social and cultural activities. Mentors offer protégés wisdom, guidance, and support in such a way that facilitates adjustment to college life and bolsters the returns that the protégés derive from their college experience. The mentor, as trusted advisor, provides guidance for both baccalaureate and post-baccâlaureate objectives. FMP protégé Michelle Demont is a senior with a major in sociology and minor in criminology. She-explained how the FMP program and her mentor, professor Donna Goyer of the sociology department, have been very influential and important to Jier college career. "They just give you moral support and help find ways to motivate you," Demont said. In fact, she explained how she was motivated in part by her mentor to help organize the Sociology Club and was subsequently elected as the sociology club president by her peers. "Donna really encouraged me to become involved," said Demont. Demont is planning to attend law school as well as earn a doctorate degree after her graduation from CSUSM. Demont articulates her career goals with enviable clarity and confidence. In an effort to expand post-graduate opportunities, the program offers the FMP Post-Grad Test Registration* Scholarship which will pay for four test fees per Academic Year, i.e. LSAT, GRE, GMAT, CBEST, RICA, etc. The program also provides books and software on select exams. Fleming explained "not only does the program increase graduation rates but it also increases the number of students who go o n : to graduate schools These students really never believed before that they could." ^ .\ V Another goal of FMP is to raise socio-cultural awareness and provide opportunities for mentors arid protégés to foster their relationships. Toward this* end, FMP sponsors two major social events per academic year, which include the Holiday Dialogue Gathering in December and the Year-End Graduate Awards ceremony in honor of graduating students. At the Holiday Dialogue Gathering, the participants enjoy food, games, and a gift exchange. The YearEnd Graduate Awards ceremony is the highlight of the academic year as the protégés have an opportunity to share how important the program was for them to reach their goals. Both Golich and Fleming expressed how compelling the end-of-year stories are. Fleming says, "At the graduation ceremony, we see tears of joy and appreciation." FMP also purchases a limited number of tickets to a diverse amount of cultural events at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, and offers them to mentors and protégés on a first response basis. Goyer says of her experience, "It's great to know students on a personal level outside of the classroom." She adds that the process is rewarding for her in that she To be eligible for the program, students is able to experiencefirsthand the success must be enrolled at CSUSM, be a junior of a once "at-risk" student.

I assume the editors of The Pride A Response to Vincent Williams Mr. Williams, first of all thank you for taking the time to write to The Pride with your views, and for taking part in this public forum regarding last week's illustration depicting Hitler in front of a "No Parking" sign. The "Stop 'spinning' and Just Say Thank You" opinion, article with which the illustration was printed was not a complaint about having to pay high parking fees. The article and the Hitler graphic were both intended to address issues of propaganda and being disrespected. Hitler has become an icon and in the context in which his image was employed, it represents a reprimand and a cautioning to the institution with regard to propaganda. It was intended to be offensive, and to retaliate for the offense the author of the article took when presented The freedom of the press allows The Pride to print whatever they wish; good taste should have kept them from printing this picture. The "spinning" of fee increases is in no way comparable to Hitler's propaganda of war and genocide. If the editors of The Pride continue to feel the connection is accurate, I urge them to visit the Holocaust Memorial Museum. You can go online and visit http: //www.ushmm.org/. Look at a picture of someone who either lived through the time or did not make it. Then tell me if losing your life is the same as spending an extra $98 to park your car. Vincent Williams Student, Liberal Studies with propaganda. A full life is lived in many human contexts, and Peggy Adams' life was indeed a full one. I know that it was, even though I knew her only in the limited context of the classroom and the campus, because of the kind of person she was. * At the beginning of the fall semester in 2001, I began teaching a new class on gender and sexuality in American history. I was worried about the class, because it would raise questions that students might find difficult to talk about. I needn't have worried, for a marvelous group of students had enrolled. On the second day, one brought a friend —Peggy Adams, an articulate, pleasant looking woman of about 50. A woman of extraordinary intelligence, humanity, and a Obviously, PR is important and necessary to the university in order to attract new students, but when the university addresses current students, it should talk straight to us and not insult us with a spun version of the situation. The article and the illustration were intended to strongly express our dissatisfaction with the handling of this issue. great, self-deprecating sense of humor, she quickly became a class leader. Her emotional maturity and verbal gifts gave her a remarkable ability to talk about experiences of love, human bonding, parenthood, and loss. When it came, time to talk about the sixties, seventies, and eighties, she shared her experiences with a (mostly) younger group of students. Students gravitated to her, and the class was a great success. We had wonderful conversations outside of class. She was more like a colleague than a student. It was a great pleasure for all of us to get to know Peggy. I admired her, and I will miss her. A lot. Anne Lombard Faculty response. Taste is subjective. Our nation is founded on the idea that unpopular ideas or beliefs, which are often described as "in bad taste," can and must be voiced for the free exchange of ideas to occur. The illustration I created using these images could be injected with any number of meanings (as can anything symbolic), but the intended meaning can only be properly understood based on its context, in this case, the article. Desmond Barca Nothing -in the context of the Design Editor article suggests that "losing your life is the same thing as spending an extra $98 to park your car." I also feel that your comments concerning good taste require Unreasonable Searches at the Alports Well, another winter break has gone by, and I'm wondering just hdw many other students here at CSUSM traveled by air during the break? Did anyone notice the new Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees at the airport? I did. Did anyone else find the man with the rubber glove to be surprisingly gentle?

Similar searches are performed each time we apply for a job or loan. Why couldn't we administrate this system to monitor travelers? I project that on a long-term basis, it would reduce government spending (mostly on thousands of unnecessary and redundant TSA employee jobs) and greatly reduce the amount of unwarranted and unreasonable searches performed everyday by TSA employees. On my way back from Alaska, I was again subjected to a search of my person. As I walked through the metal detector at Anchorage International Airport, I had unknowingly put my hand in my pocket. Wow! Immediately I was treated as a suspect that was about to commit acts of terror that the world had not yet seen! The lady who 'apprehended' me for putting my hand in my pocket yelled to another TSA employee (a man) to come over and give me a 'full inspection'. He proceeded to take me behind a partition, which really wasn't a partition at all as it was made from see thru plexi-glass, and wand me furiously. My shoes beeped. He then commanded I remove my shoes for further inspection. Again he passes the wand over my entire body and socked feet. This time my metal belt buckle beeped. Now I had to unbuckle my pants in front of numerous other travelers and allow the inspector to take a peek at what I had behind my belt buckle. After he determined I carried no weapons or bombs and that I wore boxers from the GAP, he let me go. As I sat down to put my shoes back on (they had been submitted to a bomb testing device) the man voluntarily explained the processes and procedures of the TSA and in an almost apologetic tone he stated that he was just doing his job. Well good for him. I 'm glad that my taxes are paying for my inconvenient searches. Attention CSUSM students! Next time you fly, be aware of the new and 'improved' airport security. You may be patted, wanded, and probed, but I guarantee you will feel completely free of any violation. Until it happens again. And again. And again. Then you too will begin to wonder how the TSA has improved airport security, if not only to irritate, violate, and harass thousands of innocent Americans everyday.

In fact I was helping put on this confer­ ence on Campus and people made (positive) comments about our efforts,” said Jocelyn Brown, a member of the Environmental Club. “But I don’t think the average stu­ dent has that much awareness of recycling or environ­ mental awareness. I notice the staff will dump stuff in the recycling bins, but not students. But that’s why I’m in the Environmental Club. I’m trying to increase student awareness.” For each of the categories, participating institutions were graded cm a curve, and nationwide an “A” was awarded if 60 percent or more of the campuses imple­ mented the' particular program or met the requirements. For example, some ofthe graded environmental activ­ ities on the report card include water conservation/water efficiency upgrades; nationwide, schools earned an “A.” For the array of materials the schools recycled, nation­ wide, schools received an “A-.” Lower scores were given 300 people die each year from a bacterial infection called for the orientation of students, staff and faculty with the environmental practices.

X IX N O. 1 Primary election season intensifies with voting BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer Big plans for Black Student Union BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer A fter spending last semester resurrecting the Black Student Union, a forward looking attitude and a revamped sense of involvement could bring success to this growing group of African American students at Cal State San Marcos this spring. Under the motto, "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude," the BSU is stepping out of the shadows intent on becoming an integral part of the CSUSM campus community. Having overcome the financial obstacles that stifled previous manifestations of the BSU, the new and improved BSU unveiled a calendar loaded with events and activities for the coming month at their Jan. 31 weekly meeting. Involvement is something that will be central to the BSU's ambitions this semester as they do more than simply step out into the campus community. Bringing in representatives from ASI and the Women's Center to their meeting, the BSU is making an effort to work with other campus organizations tq bring the entire campus together. "I think it's more important for us to not just stay BSU in and of itself, but let everyone see us," said BSU President Sherray-Blythe to the group. "If you didn't want to get involved, you wouldn't be here" In their biggest event of the month, the BSU will put on a dance called "Sensual Seduction" on Feb. 23 at the Clarke from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. The BSU encourages students interested in participating to attend their Thursday during U-Hour in University Hall 101.

The Board of Trustees are responsible for creating policies on student fees, admissions, financial aid, technology, and student services that a ffect more than 450,000 students, easily making it the highest policy planning committee in the CSU system. The position of student t rustee is the highest and most prestigious position a CSU student can hold. The p rimary responsibility of a student trustee consists of presenting the issues, positions, and perspectives of CSU stu- dents. A student t rustee holds the same powers and responsibilities of the other t rustees and is paid $100 a day for conducting the business of the Board as well as attending the seven regularly scheduled meetings per year. Applications must be mailed to the Office of University A ffairs, 401 Golden Shore, Long Beach, CA 90812 by 5:00 pm on Friday, Feb. 22. Inter- ested students can get more information and instructions on how to apply on the CSSA website at www.csustudents.org. Interviews for candidates are scheduled for Friday, May 12 at CSU Fullerton. Following the process, the CSSA will forward the names of two to five finalists to Governor Schwarzenegger who will then make an ultimate decision. University Village staff w ins spirit award Resident Advisors present stress busters at annual conference BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer On Jan. 26, the CSUSM Resident Advisors and Resident Hall Council members traveled to CSU San Bernardino for the Southern Resident Assistant Program Conference. The annual gathering recognizes the. achievements of student leaders in local college and university residence halls. Weeks in advance, students submit .program ideas to share at the conference. This year, eight programs from CSUSM were chosen. Students were able to spend the day relaxing and sharing ideas with other college leaders before the distribution of awards later on in the evening. Of the ten programs recognized for 'Top Ten of the Year,' two were from San Marcos RAs. CSUSM student, Corbin Northington, received an award for his presentation on necessary first aid knowledge in resident halls. Also garnering recognition was first year RA, Alexander Hoang. His program titled "Meditation Invigoration," challenged students to take risks in order to grow outside their comfort zones. The program's purpose is combating stress among college students, inspired by the chilling statistic that stress is a top factor of death in the United States. Hoang hopes that students can "be comfortable with oneself and make good choices away from materialism." Upon learning about his award, Hoang said, "It felt great. I'm glad to present something other student leaders could take something away from." After the program awards, the event's most prestigious award, the Spirit Award, was announced. The Spirit Award, based on spirit at the conference, participation in program presentations, and a video clip made prior to the day, was presented to CSUSM. The CSUSM RAs created a 'Cougar Lightning' video with the help of spirit leader, Brian Buttacavoli. Along with a three-dimension plaque, the awarded school keeps a 'Spirit Stick' for the year and returns it at the following year's conference. "It was awesome to take the highest award." Hoang said. CSUSM may be a small school but the strength of the University Village team and staff rose to the occasion. �NEWS Tuesday; February 05, 2008 Mini dreates exploratory committee to assessn hold orm debate put o situation City Council c XheC^pride I §§gi |§g£ * immimisim^ - ^ EDITOR W CHIIR * !

The precarious situation between homeowners (who argue the rowdy tenants disrupt neighborhoods) and students (who believe affordable housing goes a long way) leaves the two communities embattled over the issue. The current answer provided by City Council right now lies in the creation of a "Student and Neighborhood Relations Commission." The eight members will oversee potential solutions for neighborhoods disrupted by loud, unruly college students and any other disruptive conduct. Two members of City Council will join the Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce and a USMC Camp Pendleton representative from Oceanside. The remaining four include students from Cal State San Marcos and from Palomar Coljege. In Jan. 2007, the City of San Diego passed an ordinance for the owners of single-family homes to pay additional permit fees up to $1000 a year for households that have six or more adult occupants. The surrounding college area at San Diego State University is the most affected by the ordinance. Whether this will affect the San Marcos area remains unknown. Over the past several months, complaints among homeowners of the area have risen, mainly citing things such as loud partying, littering, and limited street parking.

Overlooking the New Jersey coastline from the Irish Potato. Famine Memorial. 4. Lady Liberty still standing proud amidst the gloom. BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer New York is home to many giants: the victorious NY Giants, giant skyscrapers, a giant statue, giant bridges, giant pretzels, giant hot dogs, and giant musical productions. That said, any venture to New York City is bound to be one monumental occasion, and so too was mine last year. Arriving in the city at 3 a.m. one Saturday morning, it only took seconds for the infamous saying that NYC is "the city that never sleeps" to ring true. Crammed into the backseat of a taxi (my first NY taxi ride of many), adrenaline pulsed through me as our cab driver proceeded to get out of the car come close to blows with another driver over who's turn it was to merge into the right-hand lane. I never heard so many violent profanities in different languages at one time before. Once on Manhattan Island, we made our way to Times Square. A hub of fluorescent lights and mayhem, in the center of all the action we arrived at our hotel, which stood adjacent to the glowing Coca-Cola marquee and next to the Legally Blonde Broadway, show. A world all its own; the lights, action and smells mystified and excited me. Throughout the duration of our Manhattan adventure, I experi- The thing about New York is that there is so much to see and do, that it is nearly impossible to capture it in words, and see it all in under a week. enced many firsts. My first NY hot dog, my first time hailing a cab on my own, my first time getting lost in a such an overwhelming city, and the first time I had the opportunity to see so many historical and famous places. The thing about New York is that there is so much to see and do, that it is nearly impossible to capture it in words, and see it all in under a week. Our first night in the city my group of companions and I made a list of all the things we wanted to do and see. Then, we attempted to organize the locations g eographically and maximize every minute of every day. Forget sleeping—we were in New York, and who knew when we were going to be back there H H H H m H ^^ again—we were going to t ry to do it all. Day one began with a privately guided limousine tour of the city to get our bearings of how to navigate the island. I must say if you have the money, seeing New York through the sunroof and windows of a private limo, complete with bubbly and beverages galore, is hands down the way to go. The city was under water on day two. It poured all night, and continued to pour all day, and this was the day we planned to visit the Statue of Liberty. I must admit it was not our best idea. Walking miles in the rain to the harbor and waiting in line at the Statue for two hours constituted the most miserably wet and uncomfort- mmmsmSm able day of my life. However, it was bittersweet, as it will forever be one of the most memorable days of my life. Seeing Lady Liberty in all her glory and breathing in the musty history that filled the hallways and stairs, awakened a new sense of adventure and patriotism. The rest of our trip continued in this fashion, with a lot of bitter, and almost as much sweet. Sludging around the city in the sticky heat and moody weather at times created problems, such as ending up on the subway line that went to the Bronx all by myself, and running out of clean, dry clothes. Thankfully, there were plenty of "I heart N Y" shirts to build a wardrobe for the remaining few days. In all its glory and infamy, NYC should be at the top of your places to see, as it has more to offer than any other city in the country. f rtp fc ¡SÜ" , ...

Furthermore, the more states a candidate wins, the better chance he or she has at being the front-runner. To put it simpler: Super Tuesday is kind of like a mini-election, or a preliminary round in American Idol. The official presidential elections are not until November; but t hat's November, and this is now, giving us ten months to go; unofficially marking Super Tuesday the beginning of the race! The w inners of the m ajority of the 24 states will be recognized as the f rontrunners, and begin t o c ampaign nationally. Before, campaigning was only for states that held earlier p rimaries, such as Iowa or New Hampshire, in order for candidates t o save money and secure victories, propelling them t hrough the race. However, a fter Super Tuesday the f ront-runners take the lead, the battle lines will remain drawn until November. A year ago t here were countless candidates campaigning all across the country. As of Super Tuesday, there will only be Last but not least is Ron Paul; the six left: two from the Democratic Party, and four f rom the Republican side. And Republican Congressman f rom Texas who feels our country is straying away the candidates are: We have Barack Obama, a Democratic s enator from Illinois, , who: has b eenp^ "senator his professional career a little over 3 years. Obama's platform rests oil his promise/vocalization of change, which has inspired millions and his following only seems to be growing (in January Ä.J alone his campaign acquired $32 million through contributions). He was recently voted #1 Liberal Senator by the National Journal, and has support f rom big names like the Kennedy's and Oprah. The other Democrat r unning is former First Lady Hillary Clinton, the current New York Senator. Alongside Obama, they make this presidential race a historical feat, being that neither a woman nor an A frican American have ever made it so far along in the primaries. Clinton also stated she would bring change, and emphasized her 30 years of experience as a strong point in her campaign. For the Republicans, there is John McCain, a Senator f rom Arizona. Senator McCain served as a captain in the Vietnam War, received several awards and medals, and was a Prisoner of War for almost 6 years in Vietnam.

The Recyclemania 2008 contest begins February 8th. The annual recycling contest happens for 10 weeks, and is open to competing colleges nationwide. In 2006 and 2007, CSUSM won the Grand Champion Award, and in 2005, when the contest only contained two categories, CSUSM almost won the Per Capita category and placed first in the Recycling Rate category. Currently, the 2008 con- test includes more than 400 colleges, whereas last year's contest only included a little more than 200 schools. San Diego State University and University of California San Diego have entered the competition again. This year there are four main categories in the contest: Largest Amount of Recyclables Per Capita, Largest Amount of Total Recyclables, Least Amount of .Trash Per Capita, and Highest Recycling Rate. Participating colleges can also compete in the Targeted Materials category. In the Targeted Materials category, schools may choose one item from the following to focus on: bottles and cans, corrugated cardboard, food service organics, and paper, and then the competition mandates measurements in pounds on a weekly basis throughout the duration of the competition. For their efforts, campuses receive trophies, awards, and certificates. The Green Team and Blue Crew are major components in the competition. The Green Team constantly focuses on reducing, recycling, and reusing at CSUSM while the Blue Crew handles the actual collection and sorting of CSUSM's trash. Based on their combined efforts, CSUSM continues to be a fierce competitor in the contest. When asked if CSUSM will win the competition, Junior Business Major Kyle McClellan responded with, "Win? Heck yeah! Our school is the stuff!" For more information, please visit: http://www.recyclemania. com/ and http://www.myspace. com/recyclemania. Mardi Gras: Let the good times roll BY AMY SALISBURY Pride Staff Writer I would be willing to bet that nearly everyone in the continental United States and Western Europe has at least heard of Mardi Gras. That's right, the greatest free party on earth; narrow, cozy streets in the French Quarter, beads flying from balconies bursting with eager celebrators, free alcohol, countless floats, outrageous costumes, and raucous behavior in every nook and cranny of New Orleans, Louisiana. Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day, or most commonly known as, Fat Tuesday, is in fact today. As the last day before the Catholic observance of Lent, Mardi Gras calls for merriment and festivity to run thick throughout New Orleans, not to mention innumerable other locations around the world. Arriving as early a » February 3 or as late as March 9, Mardi Gras serves as a last-ditch effort to treat yourself prior to the dry month preceding Easter. Simply known as Carnival or Carnivale internationally (namely, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), the celebration's intentions are universal while still incorporating the great music and over-indulgence synonymous with the revelry here in the States; Most partygoers have no idea that Mardi Gras actually ends today, Fat Tuesday, with January 6 as the real beginning of the festivities. On Epiphany, twelve days after Christmas, Orthodox Catholics believe that Jesus Christ "shone forth" as God in human form. Western Christians also celebrate this day as the visitation of the Magi and commemorate the event with a feast. What's more, the tradition began in the United States even before the territory fell under American rule. Nearly one hundred years before the Louisiana Purchase, King Louis XIV reigned over a large part of our now united country. As a means of defending his newly acquired land, the French monarch sent for Iberville and Bienville LeMoyne to go sailing up the Mississippi River in hopes of establishing a new settlement. The brothers called the area they came upon Point du Mardi Gras. Throughout the years, proud French descendants inhabiting the Bayou, known as Creoles, passed on their traditions to make honorary Creoles out of all taking part in the bash. As interesting as all the history is, the mere mention of Mardi Gras causes most Americans to conjure up thoughts of flowing beer and women shamelessly bearing their chests in exchange for plastic beads. Obviously, there is no objection to this on Bourbon Street, but has anyone ever stopped to ask: Why beads? It all started in the 1920s with the Rex Company's float tossing inexpensive glass necklaces into the parade's crowd. Thus, a tradition was born. Nowadays, it is quite common for float Krewes (groups who produce and ride on parade floats) to shell out thousands of dollars on the enticing purple, green, and gold necklaces. All in all, Mardi Gras is not solely a French celebration; it is rather a means of uniting different people and cultures all looking for the same thing: a good party.

Vanguard dominated the first game on a strong pitching p erformance froiri Dustin Jones, who went six shutout innings and surrendered only two hits. Michael Anderson pitched the» final three innings giving up the only three r uns the Cougars scored. Vanguard broke the game open in t he top of the 5th and 6th innings. In the top of the 5th, RF Jason Machado hit a one-out solo homerun to give Vanguard a 3 -0 lead. A two out two-error mishap lead to Vanguard's second r un in the inning. In the top of the 6th, Machado struck again with a two-RBI single u p the middle. He ended his day 3 -4 with four RBI's. By t he b ottom of t he 7th, t he Cougars were down an i nsurmountable lead 7-0. Jared Suwyn ended t he Vanguard shutout by h itting a t wo-run H R o ff of A nderson in t he 9th. The Cougars, j ust playing for r espect, added one more r un in t he bottom of t he 9th to m ake the final score 8-3. Game two of the double header was a different story for the Cougars shutting Vanguard out 1-0, in a pitchers duel using three pitchers to combine for a one-hit shutout. GUTS OR CAREER W ANCE CARTELLI HE R IGHT DadECISION? AS IT T Rivers h arthroscopic knee surgery BY L Pride Staff Writer The a ftermath of t he Super Bowl h as arrived and t he N FL s eason is over in d isappointing f ashion f or San Diego Charger f ans. With a severely h urt 'Big 3 ' in Philip Rivers', t orn ACL, L aDainian Tomlinson's, h yper extended k nee, and Antonio Gates', dislocated big toe, t he Chargers lost 21-12 on Jan. 20 t o t he N ew England Patriots. Sorry to r emind you Charger fans. The question I r aise is 4Was Philip Rivers decision t o play w ith a t orn ACL in his right k nee, t he right decision?' The evidence on why it w as t he w rong decision: R ivers h urt h is k nee t he week before against t he I ndianapolis Colts game; back u p QB Billy Volek showed that he was more t han capable, leading the g ame-winning drive against t he p revious Super Bowl champions. Volek would have b een a game m anager and would not have b een put into situations where he would t hrow interceptions as R ivers did. j ust so he could play in the AFC championship game, meaning he was unable to practice for t he most important game of his life against one of the greatest t eams of all time. On a personal level, Rivers is a young QB with a long career ahead of him that is f acing surgery that will require at least 6 months for recovery. One hit could easily have ended h is career and lost him millions of dollars with the chance of r eturning t o the p layoffs/ There is no doubt Rivers decision to play was gutsy and should be praised for h is dedication to his team and his desire t o w in. But we have no crystal ball, no way t o tell the f uture. His play was that of a man with a hurt k nee t hrowing t hree interceptions, the same as godlike Tom Brady. Would back-up Billy Volek played better t han a hurt Rivers? With a healthy Tomlinson would the Chargers have won? Would all of it matter? We j ust don't know, it's all speculation to say it was the right or wrong decision. Men's soccer tryouts BY T IM MOORE Pride Staff Writer CSUSM men's soccer is holding is annual open tryout on Saturday, February 16th f rom 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Mangrum Track and Soccer Field. Students interested in t rying out can visit www.csusm.edu/athletics before February 11th to fill out the appropriate documents. "We are hoping t o identify any students currently on campus who may have the ability to contribute to the men's team and solidify a roster spot," said assistant coach Bobby Renneisen. T he team is going into its third year of existence, and has an 18-13-1 record over the first two years of play. Steve Triolo, the starting pitcher for the Cougars, went 5 1/3 strong innings giving up the only hit while striking out five and giving up four walks. The game was scoreless until the bottom of the 4th, when CF Tristan Gale lead off the inning with a solo homerun tp center field, turned out to be the game-winning home r un. Eric Julienne and Jared Suwyn combined to go 1 2/3 innings of no hit baseball to shut-out Vanguard in a seven inning contest this is the Cougars second win of the season, and first win at home. SOFTBALL 1-1 IN DOUBLEHEADER BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer CSUSM Softball kicked off its second season in existence Saturday, splitting a doubleheader with Biola University. Biola struck early on in game one, doing all of their damage in the team's 6 -4 victory in the first two innings. CSUSM scored three runs in the bottom of the second inning on four singles, and one r un in the bottom of the sev- enth on a triple hit by sophomore, Erica Coelho. CSUSM won game two of the doubleheader by a score of 2-1, thanks to a complete game, six strikeout outing by junior, Melissa Lerno. The split opens the season with a 1-1 record. The Cougars face Bethany University on Saturday and the University Redlands on Sunday. Both games will be played at Mission Hills High School.

A more grown up Fiasco now sings of much deeper things: Songs like "Little Weapon" deal with youth rebel soldiers in Africa and the things they go through at such a young age. Many of the songs are politically driven and deal with many of the issues going on today such as A.I.D.S, rape, school shootings, and drug use. He even changes up his rapping style in songs like "The Die'' in which he has a Twistalike, rapid delivery sound. Then there are the dark songs like "Put You On Game", in which Lupe raps as if he is evil. With each song differing in style, it makes the entire CD enjoyable. This is one of the rare CDs that I can listen to from beginning to end without changing a song. What hip-hop has needed is a message behind the music, and Lupe does this perfectly. Each song makes you think and want to listen to his every word, not to mention the amazing beats and Kanye West style synths. I recommend that everyone go out and buy this CD right now. It's a must have. A&E THE PRIDE Academy Awards nominations overshadowed by strike tion of Ian McEwan's 2001 novel, also received seven nods.

Under the current program, CSUSM has a contract with Islands Apartments that allows students to lease apartments at below-market rates. The contract, which provides 77 rental units for CSUSM students^ will terminate as of June 30, 2001. The decision not to renew its contract with Islands Apartments leaves the university without student housing until the completion of a 400-bed project expected in 2003. Sandra L. Punch, director of Student and Residential Life (SRL) for CSUSM, stated in the. press release that "Not offering the program was a tough decision," she added, "We understand the rental market is very tight, and we will do all we can to help students who need housing find it." Three factors listed by Punch in the decision to end its current contract include: • The number of first-year students attracted to Cal State San Marcos continues to increase significantly each year. As a result, the campus has found it impossible to support a full range of residential life programs and the services necessary for an effective and sustainable program. »Article continues on page 2 Craven Hall built by CRSS to look postmodern, never intended to look tike a prison. (Pride Photo/Victoria Segall) CSUSM Not a Prison PDC to Renovate Campus Look By: Melanie Addington Pride Editor After eighteen years of public service, Congressman Ron Packard retired this past January. Upon request from CSUSM, Packard donated several boxes of congressional papers to the university. When asked why the university requested the congressional papers from Congressman Packard, Carol Bonomo, Associate Vice President for External Affairs, gave two reasons: the national history involved in Congressman Packard's writein victory to Congress and the history of the university. Packard was CSUSM's founding congressman before the new district lines were drawn in 1990. "I hope that these papers will give good insight into the political history of the region," said Bonomo. According to Marion Reid, Dean of Library and Information Services, "CSUSM will be keeping papers unique to Congressman Packard, such as his speeches and letters tracking his actions in Congress."

While planning the administration and services building, CSUSM lost funding for the original library and had to put a temporary library in the middle of Craven Hall. Once the new library is built, however, they plan to use the open space of the fourth floor for open administration offices, Disabled Student Services and EARS (EOP and ASPIRE). According to Cheryl Le Gras, Senior Director of College Success Services, a "one-stop shop" for students will be located on the third floor. This will include Financial Aid and Enrollment Services. "The cashiers will not be moved into the one-stop shop center," says Le Gras, "but during peak times of the year, which have not been determined, individuals from cashiering will be stationed at the counter in the one-stop shop." The one-stop shop opening target date is Spring 2004. In addition, a one-card sys- tem office may be added. Marti Gray, the Executive Director of the Foundation at CSUSM, is currently coordinating the "needs assessment phase" of the one-card system. Gray pointed out that "the campus has not yet determined whether we will have a 'one-card' or not. If the campus decides that it's beneficial [from a service and a financial standpoint] to have a 'one-card,' students will be asked to participate in the planning of services offered on the card." Proposed under the one-card system, students will only use one-card as a student I.D., printing card, campus debit card, and dormitory housing key. When asked if he would like using a one-card system, student David Ludwig said, "I believe that [it] could be a convenient system if the potential security issues were ignored. It would be convenient to have one card to do everything; however, I would not be comfortable with the access into my life that someone else would gain if they got a hold of my card." Regarding student concern, Marti Gray said, "they [CSUSM] are fully aware of all security issues and any concerns of students and these will be looked into if they decide to plan the one-card system." The Career and Assessment Center, photo I.D., Student and Residential Life, and a satellite office for Counseling and Psychological Services will also be located on the third floor once the Craven Hall Renovation Project is completed. Black History Month Celebrated at CSUSM "It Is Never Too Late To Learn99 By: Victoria B. Segall Pride Editor February 2001 marks the 75th celebration of Black History Month. CSUSM's Arts & Lectures Series and ASI will be hosting events celebrating this special month.

When he taught the Filipino elementary school children about their history, he realized there was very little black history taught to African-American people in the U.S. "We will teach ourselves about ourselves," said Dr. Woodson, regarding the teaching of black history.

CSUSM Students Reveal Beliefs in National Survey By: Jayne Braman Pride Graduate Intern CSUSM students participated in the inaugural National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). The findings from the spring 2000 survey reveal that "CSUSM curriculum is distinguished by an unusually strong emphasis on abstract thinking skills, writing, the use of electronic medium, and fostering interaction among students from diverse backgrounds," according to Bettina Huber, Director of Analytic Studies, in her address Wednesday, Jan. 31, at the AllFaculty Meeting and Academic Assembly. The NSSE survey is an extension from an annual inquiry of four-year colleges and universities. The NSSE survey is unique in that respondents estimate the amount of time they, devote to various academic activities during the academic year instead of responding to questions about their level of satisfaction. Last spring's survey focused on entering and exiting students at a diverse group of 276 four-year colleges and universities. Surveys were randomly sent to 350 firsttime freshman and 350 seniors at CSUSM, with responses from 163 freshman and 206 seniors. Students responded to 40 survey items that developed five benchmarks for effective educational practice. The benchmark scores revealed: 1) Level of Academic Challenge, wherein 85 percent of seniors and 80 percent of freshman responded that they were intellectually and creatively challenged by an emphasis on synthesis and analysis and the number of papers required. 2) Enriching Educational Experiences, wherein 85 percent of seniors and 65 percent of freshman responded that they were exposed to peers with diverse ideological Viewpoints and cultural backgrounds and that opportunities in electronic media allowed them to access to real-world experiences. 3) Active and Collaborative Learning, which focused on participatory activities, scored in the 75th percentile with seniors and the 70th percentile with freshman. 4) Student Interactions with Faculty Members, however, scored disproportionately low scores when compared with responses from comparable schools. Only 30 percent of seniors and freshmen responded that they interacted with faculty outside of class. Huber believes that the results reflect an aspect that is "not integral to life on a commuter campus." Students tend to leave campus shortly after classes with approximately 40 percent of students working more than 20 hours per week off campus. 5) Supportive Campus Environment - this benchmark reflects a disparity between freshman and seniors responses with 60 percent of freshman feeling that the faculty and staff are committed to their success while only 25 percent of seniors responded similarly. "CSUSM received disproportionately high scores on three of the five benchmarks identified," commented Huber, "One of the reasons the San Marcos respondents find their course work unusually challenging is the substantial emphasis their courses place on abstract-thinking skills. Both freshman and senior respondents are more likely than those at other master-level campuses to say that their courses place substantial emphasis on analyzing ideas or theories, on synthesizing information and experiences, and on making judgments about the accuracy of arguments and methods." Campus administrators feel that these curricular strengths are reflective of longstanding campus commitments and may lead to a distinguished trademark for the university. �Escondido Humane Shelter Needs Help to Rebuild By: Melanie Addington Pride Editor A f ire destroyed the Escondido Humane Society shelter on January 20, and led to the deaths of one hundred and f ifteen animals.

These students f ind rewards in the form of experience, academic credit, or personal satisfaction. Now, through the new Radin Community Service Scholarship, students who give their time and work can receive a $1,000 cash award. Fresno entrepreneur Marc Radin started the scholarship. According to Lynda Gaynor, Director of the O ffice of Community Service Learning, Radin wanted college students to have the chance to not only to help in the community, but also to test out their career ideas. Therefore, the volunteer work given by students must relate to either their major or future career direction.

Something must be done, immediately, to ensure the preservation of everyone's safety while on campus. For the second time in as many semesters a pedestrian has been hit by a vehicle on campus. With the addition of Parking Lot F traffic has increased dramatically; so too have the chances fa accidents on campus. Something must be done now, before we have afetalaccident, to ensure that no pedestrian cii campus is at risk. Campus Police cannot be held solely responsible for the protection of pedestrians on campus, nor can motorists. Thefact of the matter is, we have dangerous intersections and a severe lade of planning to protect pedestrians. While it is reported (coincidentally in this same issue of The Pride) that Planning, Design and Construction have plans to address traffic on campus, nothingwill be implemented for several years. Even then, protection against pedestrian accidents will be minimal. The feet of the matter is, without the death of a pedestrian, there is no sufficient pressure driving this issue.

David Gatley Editor In Chief Girl hit by car suffers minor injuries BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, Feb. 1 at 3:36 p.m., a 13-year-old girl riding her bike on campus was struck by a car. The driver was attempting to make a left on Palm Canyon drive toward Craven drive. When the driver was waved down by another driver to turn, The Sprinter to arrive in San Marcos in December 2007 the driver let their foot off the brake and collided with the girl on the bike who was halfway through the crosswalk. A t once, students on foot ran to assist the girl who ultimately sustained minor bruising and swelling. University Police caught the scene on video from a camera pod. Perched on top of Craven Hall, Markstein Hall and Kel- logg Library, these camera pods can zoom in and out, and can reach as far as to the Ralph's shopping center across thè street from campus.. Sergeant Jesse Flores of University Police was also present at the scene and made the report. Flores said, "We would like the community to be cognizant of people walking and driving and to the Com- munity Service Officers who direct the traffic." On Mondays through Thursdays, University CSOs work the four-way stop every 15 minutes. On Friday's, they work the intersection every 45 minutes and they are constantly patrolling traffic. With the addition of parking lot F and the highest enrollment in COUGAR BASEBALL CSUSM history, the intersection of Campus View drive and Palm Canyon drive is seeing record traffic levels. Last fall, Education Librarian Toni Olivas was struck by a van as she attempted to walk through a crosswalk. Ironically, a committee holding a discussion on the necessity of the future stoplight was in session at the time of the accident. Governor approves bill no cell phone when driving BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer BY PAMELA CASTILLO Pride Staff Writer As early as December, the North County Transit District will be offering a new mobility solution for CSUSM students and North County residents. It is called the Sprinter and it is a rail system that will run between Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos and Escondido. The 22 miles of track will run along Highway78 between 1-15 different stations. The Sprinter will be using a it is exactly this that Decker and his team are here to see through. Decker said, "A lot of people use 'campus' and 'university' interchangeably but it's not.

The first offense costs drivers $20, and the following offenses will cost $50. Sociology major Nicole Yescas shares the same frustration that most drivers have felt at one time or another, "I have to say 90 percent of the time that I observe problems on the road it is due to someone talking on their cell phone. From people sitting at green lights, to running stop signs, to only going 40mph in the fast lane or pulling out of CSUSM parking lot F, the cell phone unfortunately seems to inhibit people's ability to drive attentively."

CSUSM is in the midst of Phase II of construction, planning and design, which will take place over the next ten years.

"The vehicles don't let the pedestrians go; the pedestri ans don't let the vehicles go, and there's all this traffic." The traffic light would serve both cars and pedestrians. Another project underway is the McMahan House. Funded by a $2.3 million donation from Richard and JoAn McMahan, the McMahan House will serve both the university and the community. It will be built beside the track. The knoll beside the track will remain, but it will have a garden. "We've just had the schematic design approved by the Chancellor's Office," Decker said. The McMahan House will mainly be a place where people can gather, dine and hold events. In all construction activities, the state will only provide the money for instructional space. Parking, housing and recreational activities remain outside of this realm. A baseball and softball diamond are presently just an idea, one that cannot become viable until there is funding behind it. There is also a plan to build a diving arid swimming complex behind the Clarke field house. Until then, Phase II of construction, which includes various other projects over the next ten years, will keep Planning, Design and Construction busy. Decker and Ramirez both agreed that their plans for the next ten years are ambitious. Decker said, "We run like crazy at the end, but there's a real sense of completion and accomplishment and closure." �NEWS THE PRIDE From SPRINTER, page 1 light rail service unlike any in California.

N CTD spokesperson Tom Kelleher said, "The Sprinter was a perfect fit for the EscondidoOceanside corridor because there was an existing track dating back to the 1800s. Freight trains have been operating in the corridor ever since. Without the existing line, this project would be difficult to start from scratch."

Our vehicles are being tested along the line in Escondido and San Marcos." Once completed, the Sprinter will help to make North County a better place. In the near future, being stuck on Highway 78 traveling to or from school may be a thing of the past. The station at Cal State San Marcos will be located over by the campus police station on La Moree, providing easy access to the campus and a way to escape escalating campus paiking fees. The Sprinter project information line can be reached at 760599-8332. Torabi summarize their research, "That using hands-free cell phone use while driving did not differentiate from using handheld cell phones in accidents or near-accidents implies that reduced physical distraction does not necessarily enhance driving safety." The article also demonstrates that while male college students hold the title for greater likelihood to drink , and drive, female college students hold the title for "frequent cell phone users" while driving.

FinAid is mutually beneficial to high school and college students and their parents. Furthermore, the website has also received several honors by the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators among others. FinAid gives students and parents their own step-by-step guide for financing college. First, the website gives students a College Cost Projector that calculates the estimated cost of tuition. Then it gives students an opportunity to find out how much the financial aid institution expects the student to receive from parents. It also allows students to calculate how much financial aid will be needed with the help of the Financial Aid Estimation Calculator. Once a student determines the total amount of financial needed aside from parental contribution, FinAid encourages students to look at several types of loans. The website lists several options on how to receive a student loan, which is a low interest loan only available for students. Another type of loan available is a private loan. It is often based on one's credit score, as a private lender gives them and is separate from the government. Another option suggested is scholarships, which do not have to be repaid, as they are rewarded for a person's academic excellence. With hundreds of thousands of scholarships available each year, FinAid provides information that will help students find the particular scholarshipfieldhe or she is searching for, such as academics, athletics or artistic talents. FinAid aims to find a scholarship that fits each individual student. It also informs students of certain scholarships that one should not go after. FinAid also gives information on financial aid for specific types of groups such as: religion, race, heritage, orientation, and so forth. For example, there is also a unique scholarship list such as Scholarships for Left-Handed Students and Little People of America Scholarship for those 4'10" and under. Besides these unique scholarships, FinAid also provides a list of scholarships for the average students who maintain a 2.0 GPA and are in need offinancialaid. FinAid also encourages students to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, which could give a student the opportunity to receive both federal and state aid for school, which are separate from each other. The federal government gives federal aid. A student can qualify for federal aid through the FAFSA, and the student's financial need is allocated according to the information filled out on FAFSA. Additionally, the FAFSA is forwarded to the state departments, which then can distribute state aid to those who qualify. In addition, other scholarships and loans are only available to students who havefileda FAFSA. If visitors have trouble understanding some of the terminology on the website, FinAid has a glossary to help with those words, such as fellowships, which is aid given to graduate students to help pay for their education. Another important term for those who have loans would be maturity date, which is the end date of a loan that must be repaid in full. If the glossary doesn't help answer questions, FinAid has over 100 financial aid administrators in the United States that are available to answer questions. Administrators can answer questions that aren't addressed on the website, and they can also help clarify things that aren't making sense. One of the things the website does very well is help prepare students on applying for scholarships. It guides students into finding a scholarship that fits his or her needs and then helps get the student organized for a particular scholarship by informing the student of upcoming deadlines and eligibility criteria. FinAid also offers students a guide to writing essays, as they may be required for certain scholarships.

Dr. Watts, a History professor and the coordinator for the Film Studies minor at CSUSM, is currently celebrating the rerelease of her latest book, "Hattie McDaniel: Black Ambition, White Hollywood," originally published in October 2005, to be out in paperback on Tuesday, Feb. 6. In addition to these accomplishments, Watts is also the coordinator for the Department of History's first master's degree program, which will be starting up in the fall of 2007. Watts, born and raised in San Diego, holds a bachelors degree from the University of California, San Diego, and obtained her master's and doctoral degrees from the University of California, Los Angeles. She joined the faculty at CSUSM in January of 1992. Watts has also published two other books in addition to her latest since her stay at CSUSM. When asked about how she likes CSUSM, Watts commented that it is a great university; "I can't think of a better place to be," Watts said in an interview over the telephone. "Hattie McDaniel: Black Ambition, White Hollywood," is coming out in paperback in the beginning of February, which Watts said pleases her, "since February is Black history month, and also the month that people are thinking about the Academy Awards," Watts said. McDaniel was thefirstAfricanAmerican to win an Academy Award in 1939 for her role as Mammy in "Gone with the Wind." The curiosity of her students was what most motivated her to pursue not only her researcH on McDaniel, but all of her books including past books on Mae West and Father Divine, and future books which she is currently researching—one on film censorship up to World War I, and another on the strong cinematic women of the 1930s, said Watts The President's Award is a prestigious award in which a professor is nominated by faculty and then chosen by the president of CSUSM, Karen Haynes. "It is an honor to receive it," Watts said, "especially considering all of the excellent faculty here." Watts also said that she loves working with so many excellent people including the student body, who are "very inspiring.*' The Film Studies minor, which Watts coordinates, is an interdisciplinary program that is shared between departments. Watts considers it rewarding to work in a program that brings together students from so many disciplines. Thus far students at CSUSM have been and continue to be very interested in the Film Studies minor, however there are currently no plans to expand the program. The new History Master's program, another of which Watts coordinates, is generating interest nationwide as it is one of the first programs to incorporate mass media with history. The idea behind the degree is that one can gain experience with using new technological advances that are currently revolutionizing the field of history, while obtaining a traditional Master's education in history. The department is accepting applications for the Fall 2007 semester. Watts is pleased that many people have already applied to the program, which is pioneering the way history is taught, studied and preserved. "Incorporating technology with history makes it a more marketable degree to obtain," Watts says. Watts celebrates her 15th year at CSUSM this semester.

After Julio posted scoreless third and fourth innings, he was knocked out in the fifth and relieved by Auggie Richardson. Richardson was promptly greeted with a run-scoring double by Chris Denhart, followed by a sac fly by Danny Gonzales, making the score 11-2. In the bottom half of the inning, the Cougars threatened but were only able to push across two runs courtesy of Adam Ricciardulli and Chuck Baird RBI's. The Hawks would- tack on another run in the seventh arid then be shut down by pitchers Travis Zabel and Lance McCormick in the final two innings.

Woods snatched another victory Sunday Jan. 28 at the Buick Invitational held at Torrey Pines along the beautiful coast of San Diego. It was his third straight win at the Buick and his fifth ' bvCTall at1S^'t)!eg(fs finlsf public course set to host the '08 US Open. More importantly, it was Woods' seventh victory in a row in PGA t our events, a streak topped only by golfing legend Byron Nelson in 1945. That's right: it is the longest streak in 62-years. In today's game the pressures are much more intense. The advent of the information age has sports writers tracking Tiger's every move. Also, the field of golfers in each tournament has increased tremendously in that time. Golf is an international sport, and Tiger has to beat players from New Zealand, Japan, Fiji, and every other country's top ranked performers. The win was tournament victory No. 55 (fifth all-time), and his eighth in San Diego County. He has won at La Costa three times. On Thursday, Tiger found himself five shots back after a course record tying 61 by tour rookie Brandt Snedeker. The twentysix year old, who said it was like playing the Tiger Woods video game, was stalked and eventually caught by the world's No. 1 ranked player. Each event Tiger enters seems to have some early fireworks by a fresh face or seasoned veteran. On Sunday, Woods lurked a few shots back ready to pounce. It doesn't seem to matter the situation, Tiger can overcome just about any lay from any angle. Even landing in the bunker 16 times in thefinaltwo days netted only bne bogeyf%afis due to focus and a bril- ' liant short game. Going up against Tiger Woods on Sunday is like running from a tornado; better duck and cover, because it will go right over you. While the youngsters fell back and the veterans played well, Tiger was busy shooting the lowest score of thefinalround to walk away with $936,000. When the pressure mounts, he seems to get better. While other golfers are happy to get a top ten finish, Woods considers that a loss. Anything other than first is a bad weekend. Golf is not supposed to be played with that mentality. A tour player should plug along through the season, finishing in the money, finding some consistency, and getting a win here and there. The attitude of Tiger Woods is that of a different breed. He goes into every tournament trying to win. It is his incredible mental ability that separates him from the other golfers in his era and elevates Tiger Woods as one of the best players to ever swing the clubs. In April, Woods will attempt to get his fifth green jacket at the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia. That's enough to start a basketball team. Only Jack Nicklaus with six has more. Nicklaus, with eighteen, is the only man with more major championships than Woods who has twelve. At 31-years-old, Woods is two thirds of the way to Jack Nicklaus. If he can win all four majors this year and the masters next April, Tiger Woods will be gunning to tie a legend here in San Diego at a place he is pretty comfortable - Torrey Pines.

Whether it's Darfur, Uganda, the exploitation of child soldiers, or the horrendous AIDS epidemic that continues to decimate the whole of the African continent, there doesn't seem to be too much talk or any media eyes on anything besides Africa and the war in Iraq, which doesn't get enough coverage at that. Keeping all of that in mind, however, there is a place, a small place that is being destroyed and uprooted by the American dollar, which no one seems to know about. That place is Jamaica. Jamaica? You might be asking yourself. Yes. Jamaica. Many of us think of Jamaica as home to Bob Marley, the origin of Reggae music, and as a tropical dream vacation destination, and that's about it. There is much more to Jamaica, however, than meets the eye, or should I say, than meets the mainstream media. Here is where "Life and Debt," a film by Stephanie Black comes into play. Utilizing the text from Jamaica Kincaid's "A Small Place," a story about economic strife, life and tourism in Antigua (another Caribbean island and Kincaid's place of origin) as an overlay and contextual frame for her purpose, Black opens the about the bang for their buck and naive on this matter; or perhaps film with tourists, both American shameless entertainment within a it's because I am a middle class and British, arriving in Jamaica beautiful tropical setting.

Major League Baseball is partly to blame since they denied an agreement between the two parties. The reason for concern is because the contract had a stipulation that said the Giants could terminate the contract if Bonds was indicted on steroids charges. What many people don't know is that there were other stipulations in that contract that could have terminated the deal at any point in the season. Clause IB stated: If the defendant.. .1 mean.. .Mr. Bonds shows any side effects from steroids, the contract shall be terminated. Things that fall under this category include the changing of skin color from black to green, exploding of purple pants, and changing the name on the back of his jersey to "The Incredible Hulk." Clause 10J stated: If syringes are found in possession of Mr. Bonds then they better be for the use of heroine and not for the use of horse steroids. Clause 16E stated: If Mr. Bonds' is found grazing in the outfield looking f or horse feed then the contract shall be terminated. Clause 24L stated: If Mr. Bonds violently punches a teammate in the face then it better be because the teammate sat in Mr. Bonds' personal La-Z-Boy in the clubhouse. If the punch because of "roid rage" then the contract shall be terminated. Clause 9W stated: In order to prevent injury, Mr. Bonds is not allowed to do certain things for himself. The following services will be provided for him. Mr. Bonds will be provided a designated runner after base hits in order to prevent knee problems. Mr. Bonds will be provided a designated driver after home games so that he doesn't have to think about driving. Mr. Bonds will be provided a designated "pharmacist" so that he can claim ignorance if something tainted should happen to appear in his urine. Clause 51Z stated: Mr. Bonds will be subject to a weigh-in every week. The weigh-in pertains just to his head. If the weight of his head is in the neighborhood of 50-pounds it will be assumed that he is on steroids and the contract shall be terminated. Clause 17C stated: If Mr. Bonds hits less than 22 homeruns in the 2007 season his "pharmacist" will be relieved of his duties and Mr. Bonds will have to pay back half of his 2007 salary. Clause 22G stated: During the season, Mr. Bonds is required to make 10 public appearances, which - don't include ones in front of a judge. Clause 34K stated: During the season, Mr. Bonds is required to perform three public service announcements in the fight against drug abuse. Among the drugs Bonds feels most strongly against are Nyquil and Tylenol. The contract shall be terminated if he fails to complete the P.S.A.'s. THE GRANDFATHER CLAUSE: If Mr. Bonds breaks Hank Aaron's all-time homerun record in 2007 all the prior clauses will be null and void. This contract was drawn up by the Law o ffices of "Jock Talk with Josh." Mr. Sandoval is available for hire at Sando026@csusm.edu. the IMF, there are giant restrictions that are in place over Jamaica's economy, imports, exports, and production (including labor). It just doesn't seem right. Politics aside, the f ilm d efinitely struck a chord within me, and I strongly urge my peers who haven't seen it, to take an interest in it and speak out on behalf of Jamaica. Overall, the f ilm r eaffirmed some things I already knew—how indifferent people can be as well as insensitive our society is to the needs of other countries, how fortunate we are to live in America regardless of our political leaders, how little about the world I really do know and understand, and how there is so much more out there than we ever see or hear about because of the fact that we do live in America. It also taught me that nothing is as it seems, and that as students of this university, and students of any university for that matter, have the opportunity to do something because of the academic and open environment we have at our disposal. The words of one student can incite the actions of thousands of students. Therefore I dare all of you to speak out. Give Jamaica a voice; end their life in debt.

Letter to the Editor: Net Neutrality This email is in response to the "The Freedom of the Internet" article (Jan 31st). I am very proud that such a serious issue such as Net Neutrality has finally gotten exposure in our school's paper. It blows my mind that people, rather telecom corporations, who had nothing to do with the creation, development, and distribution of the internet feel they can take the reigns of control over the content of OUR world wide web. Not talking about this of brushing it off will only aid the billion dollar fat cats in their maniacal plot to go Farenheit 451 on our only remaining open media outlet.

Midori, the premier bright green melon liqueur, was first launched in the United States in 1978 at Studio 54. Created by Suntory, Midori was the glue to the hit drink called "The Universe," which is comprised of Midori, vodka, pineapple juice, lime juice and pistachio flavored liqueur. Within five years of its release, Midori instantly became a favorite of the masses, being sold in over 20 countries, with sales steadily increasing at 200,000 cases sold per year. So, the next time you're at the bar, or getting your groove on at a club and want to enjoy a palette-tantalizing experience, a Midori Sour is for you.

Aside from the impressive cast, the heart of the film revolves around Buddy "Aces" Israel (Piven), a modern day version of what Frank Sinatra might have been if he had half the talent, twice the sleaziness, and a mind constantly fueled by cocaine and the prospect of power. What the two do have in common is their association with the Mafia.

X V N O. 4 Faculty protest decisions of CSU Board of Trustees BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN Pride Staff Writer Two hundred California Faculty Association members and allies voiced their frustrations and disapproval of the CSU Board of Trustees, demanding that the trustees rethink their priorities and focus on the true needs of the universities. In response to the Board of Trustees decision to increase student tuition by 15 percent while simultaneously granting payraises for executive administrators, the CFA protested in front of the Chancellor's Office in Long Beach and "collectively" addressed the board during a scheduled Board of Trustees meeting, on Wednesday, Feb. 2. "We are working hard against the opposition," stated John Halcon, professor in the College of Education at CSU San Marcos, about the CFA's position, "and we are working even harder to join more in our campaign." Ten diverse keynote speakers, including faculty, CFA administrators and two student representatives, voiced the unilateral disappointment in the Board of Trustees' actions in neglecting the heart and soul of the CSU: the faculty and students. Collectively, speakers highlighted the depth of problems in the system, focusing on inadequate funding, heavy workloads, increased classroom ratios, erosion of salary compensation, resource constraints, the inability for faculty to afford California's cost-of-living and the demand that the CSU Board get their priorities straight. Full-time faculty members receive 25 percent less in wages than comparable California institutions, making it difficult to retain and recruit department faculty. Concerns were raised addressing how many faculty members can no longer afford middle-class standards of living, making it nearly impossible to own a home.

Students walk by the newspaper stands on a daily basis and give little thought to them, how they got there and who pays for them. For a short time, the stands were empty. Now with the semester in full swing, the newspapers are back. Which begs the question: who is 'really' funding this program? Initially, "ASI did pay for the papers to be on campus," said ASI President, Marc DeGuzman. ASI had allocated $7,000 for both the New York and North County Times. ASI spent less than the $7,000 budgeted for the program because the campus is only charged for the amount of papers taken from the stands. This semester, ASI solicited funding from the University. "Last spring the department of Academic Programs was generous enough to continue the paper after the pilot period through the rest of the semester," said DeGuzman. The department donated $2400 to the readership program, but it was not enough to cover both newspapers for the entire semester. The North County Times was able to use funds available through their education outreach program to cover the remaining cost. Though the program is being funded by a different department See News PAGE 2 HW Responsibility See Features PAGE 4 See REPORT, page 3 Faculty and Administration discuss labor grievances BY PATRICK B.

The suspects took the subwoofer from the extended portion of the Ranger's cab and proceeded northbound on Twin Oaks Valley Road in a black Chevrolet S10 Pickup. The University Police Department is currently investigating this matter with a confirmed description of one suspect and details about the vehicle both suspects escaped in. Lieutenant Douglas Miller of the CSUSM Police Department provided some tips to help students avoid becoming victims of vehicle theft or burglary. "If at all possible never replace a factory installed stereo," said Miller, who explained that although stereo equipment tracking has advanced in recent years, the theft of a stereo results in excessive interior and exterior car damage. Secondly, Miller advised, "Do not leave valuables in plain sight inside your vehicle." This tip seems the most basic of all, but Lieutenant Miller explained that students should rethink what is considered valuable. For students, valuables can include not only iPods, stereos or laptop computers, but also textbooks and course materials. "A science textbook bought for $150.00 can be sold back to the bookstore for almost half the initial price, making books a popular item to steal," said Miller. University Police have asked that students with any information regarding this or other vehicle burglaries contact them at (760) 750-4567 or through their anonymous tip line at (760) 750-TIPS.

Guiles, chairman and CEO of San Diego Gas and Electric, climbed in the 'Executive's Chair' on Wednesday, Feb. 1, to share his knowledge, leadership and approach to business strategies. Sponsored by CLIMB, the Center for Leadership Innovation and Management Building, and directed by Professor Nichols and Dr. Pillai, the focus of thè program is to expose students to influential leaders in the community and demonstrate the differences in business tactics and philosophies. While in the Executive's Chair, Guiles stressed his simple, yet sincere management style. SDG&E is a San Diegan multibillion dollar Fortune 500 company, serving all of San Diego County and some regions in Orange County as well, making it the largest gas company in the country. Guiles started first as an engineer 34 years ago, working up through the ranks to management and beyond. Guiles explained how the CEO sets the tone for the whole company, which is why Guiles makes it a priority to treat all employees with mutual respect and dignity, allowing free collaboration and communication needed to solve problems. "The single most important thing" a manger can do, he said, was to "pick people you can trust and then delegate." In this way, companies are able to accomplish 16 hours worth of work in eight to ten hours a day. A CEO must be able to communicate to groups of people, he said, broaden their education as much as possible, develop a passion for what they do, and test it when possible. He urges students to be optimistic in the future and their role in it, and to be able to back up and take another forward direction, if they fall into a rut. The largest operating chal- lenge Guiles has encountered has been the challenge to build the infrastructure to distribute energy for the future and finding the capital to do it without raising energy rates. If the distribution infrastructure is not built, then all of the new energy sources currently in the planning stages, like solar energy, wind energy, liquefied natural gas imported from other states and our nearby neighbors, will not be transportable. New lines of transport must be built, he says, or he foresees availability problems around 2008-2009. Not all of Guiles' emphasis was on his profession, however. He also stressed that people must stay in balance or pay the price. He encourages employees to give back to their community by volunteering their time and money. He also believes in investing in the employee, even offering scholarships for further education, as well as specific training. Guiles wants SDG&E to be a place where people are assured of a good job, where hard work is appreciated and rewarded, where how things get done is as important as good results. Yet, most importantly, Guiles strives to create a company where employees are able to, "have fun, make money, and be proud of what they do."

Faculty members' hours are determined by the WTUs that are sent to the Chancellors' office in Long Beach. The WTUs are separated into two categories, D for direct time, including time in class and class related work, and I for indirect time spent working on tenure track requirements or committee issues. In 1994, an agreement was met to add one unit to each class for the extra work for the instructor based on the writing requirement. If an instructor teaches three classes of three units each, he or she would acquire 12 WTUs. "It began when the founding faculty devised the writing requirement. The idea of making each and every course one in which students could improve their writing skills was one of the ways CSUSM's curriculum would be special," according to a handout from the meeting. In 1996, however, it was discovered that adjunct "received three D-WTUs for a three-unit course (and a full time load for an adjunct faculty member was defined as teaching five-course - 15 units)," stated the handout. Since the school was open for a lawsuit as a result of the disparity, the reported WTUs began to reduce, making it appear as if the faculty did not have the same work load as their peers in the Cal State system. "We generate more hours than our peers," stated George Diehr, former CFA president and CoBA representative for Cal State San Marcos. "This is not policy, but actually guidelines," stated Robert Sheath, Cal State San Marcos provost, who went on to say "this is a pilot process; we are trying to work out the bugs," in response to questions about the reporting of WTUs. "We are here today to demand that the guidelines be revoked," said David Avalos, CFA faculty rights representative. Other concerns of the CFA panel and faculty members in the audience included class size and how the WTUs would affect the tenure track requirements. "I see this as accountability, we need to agree about measurements," stated University President Karen Haynes. "It's about time this campus got beyond workload." The administration stated they will take the grievance into consideration and respond to the CFA chapter at Cal State San Marcos. representation. "It's about creating and protecting a fair and open campus environment which welcomes and supports the diversity of people and ideas." Recognizing that each element is vital for generating a strong legacy, President Haynes believes that the future of the campus depends on the students. "We believe that our most important legacy will be the students themselves," said Haynes. "Our legacy of leadership mandates that we prepare our students. We understand that our legacy is not something that is done,finishedand handed down, but rather something vibrant and living, paying forward in each generation of students who come to our doors and then to yours."

With a buffet provided by Café Catering, a live acappella of the black national anthem, and a presentation by one of LA county's eminent motivational speakers, the event drew students and staff alike. The delicious smells and joyful sounds pouring out of the Clark Field House even lured in a few who had only hoped to get a workout that day. Attending the sign-in board outside was Jen Kidder, director of Campus Speakers for the ASI programming board. Blonde hair and blue eyes certainly didn't lessen her enthusiasm as she welcomed in people from every conceivable ethnic and cultural back- Photo by ZACHARY J SIMON / The Pride ground. This was her third year with the event, and she seemed anything but drained by the task, saying that "as long as they're available, getting a speaker at CSUSM isn't difficult." As for the speaker himself, having never appeared at this particular event before, returning attendants were sure to be curious. Ms. Kidder explained how they made the choice "after reading through his impressive personal and professional biography" but encouraged me to speak with him myself as he mingled casually with the other early arrivals. With so many students perpetuating the complaint that there is no campus life at CSUSM, it begs the question whether putting on an event, even a relatively small one, asks too much of time and space. Diana Wong, however, stated that "attendance is more of a challenge than reserving the space." As the director of cultural programming for ASI, she regarded her task as neither futile, nor redundant. "After taking a Race and Ethnic Studies class with professor Sharon Elise, I saw an application for cultural programmer and I thought about how I'd noticed that the campus wasn't as diverse as it used to be," reflecting also that "these events help people who aren't aware of cultural diversity, but they also help those who want to get more involved." Of course, everyone attending agreed that it was hard to get involved on an empty stomach. The buffet was unfurled precisely at 10 a.m., lining people up for a seemingly endless supply of favored breakfast proteins along with a generous supply of fruit and baked goods. Standouts included what were described as 'cheesy potatoes', tasting more fresh-baked than assembly fried. Biscuits disappeared first from the trays, then under eager helpings of gravy. Though this reporter never cared for gravy in the morning, it made the 'grits', a previous mystery, taste like one part mashed potatoes, two parts cream of wheat, and a slice of humble heaven. Furthermore, it managed to satisfy even this perpetually starving belly well into the afternoon. Café Catering, owned and operated by CSUSM alumni Mark DuBois, has handled more than 2000 cougar events in at least seven years, and it's inconceivable that he won't be invited back again. At 10:30, everyone rose to Ruby Udeh's solo performance of the Black National Anthem, filling each heart in the small room as well as any stadium spectacle. Some sung quietly along, but even had more people been familiar with the words, it's likely they would have remained in silent awe of the performance. The speaker, Jahi Kweli, a Job Searcy specialist for LA County, followed with a warm and casual retrospective of great inventions by African Americans and a story about a short teenager, cut from his varsity team, named Michael Jordan. He continued on to involve the audience with visual exercises emphasizing the importance of pursuing one's natural talent. Attendants, returning for seconds and thirds, smiled back at him over their shoulders as nerf balls flew about and two attendants nearly collided in a dash for cash. Diana Wong, who in her own speech explained the togetherness represented by the beautifully intertwined centerpieces, had mentioned earlier that "food does help draw people . .. but sometimes I wish they'd stick around longer. We definitely don't want food to be seen as the event itself." Associate director of SLL, Gezai Berhane, recalling at least six years of this event, agreed; "ASI does a great job every year. It usually follows the same format, but the overall thought behind the event is what matters to me." As the crowd dissipated back to their classes, or to fill the carryout boxes brilliantly supplied by Café Catering, the speaker remained as approachable as anyone, if a bit more smartly dressed. "I really like speaking to students, knowing that they're going to be our future leaders," said Kweli. Although this was his first time at CSUSM, he has a lot of experience with colleges and non-profits in southern California, and expressed how he'd "like to see more events like this, with a more mixed format and casual Photo by Z ACHARY J SIMON / The Pride atmosphere." To anyone still nervous about the idea of attending an ethnic or cultural event, Ms. Wong almost laughed at the idea, saying "These events have never to my knowledge had any kind of tension or conflict. People always leave happy and full™ Junior, Geoff Wilton, who was on his way to the gym and not expecting an event, can attest to that. "I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed it and I was moved by Jahi and his speaking." February finds a long list of CSUSM events to honor Black History Month, and students are encouraged to check with both the Pride and ASI to make sure they don't miss yet another truly fulfilling experience.

The degree to which we are yet so many people do not take advantage able to set aside fear of the undesired, for the of test opportunities. sake of educating and protecting ourselves, The majority of tests are anonymous, is a measure of how responsible we are. BY ANTIONETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer I made the choice to get tested with the notion that I owed it to myself and my significant other to act responsibly. Student Health and Counseling Services offers free HIV testing for students on the first Wednesday of every month. All tests are administered without appointments on a first come first serve basis, and all results remain confidential. Upon entering the SHS office, patients are advised to sign in under a name other than their own to encourage anonymity. Even after patients are admitted to the testing room, they are never required to state their name, address, social security number, or student identification number. The only real identifier for SHS staff is a patient's date of birth. SHS utilizes a rapid test system that analyzes a swab sample taken from the mouth. Test results are ready in 20 minutes using this method, and testing negative under this method requires no further tests. Other test forms include conventional blood tests, oral fluid tests, urine tests, and home tests. Conventional blood tests require a sample of blood be drawn by a health care provider for testing in a lab. Results from these tests are available within two weeks. Oral fluid tests are similar to rapid tests in that swabs of the inside jof the mouth are used, but these samples are then tested at a lab and results can take anywhere from a few days to two weeks. Urine tests are similar to conventional blood tests, in that urine samples are taken by health care providers and results are made available within a few days to two weeks. Home tests are sold at most drugstores, where the patient pricks a finger with a special device and places blood drops onto a specially-treated card that is mailed to a lab for testing. Patients can call for their results using an identification number that comes with the home kit for anonymous access. All HIV tests, excluding the conventional blood test, are FDA approved. Though the selling point of the rapid test is that results can be provided with little time and effort, the 20 minute wait felt like an homvln that time, I evaluated how I would walk away with results positive or negative. It would be my responsibility to alert my current partner and those before him of my status if positive, but I could walk away with a sigh of relief if negative. In essence, my life would change with a result of positive, but my life would stay the same with a result of negative. Or so I thought. My life did not simply snap back to the way it was one hour prior to my test. Many patients need counseling after HIV testing, even with a 'negative' result, and SHS also offers these services to students free of charge. The office also displays multiple pamphlets on HIV and AIDS as well as other STDs, which patients can take with them to further educate themselves on the diseases and their implications. With all of its available resources, the staff at Student Health and Counseling Services encourages students to take advantage of medical services and testing opportunities.

There will appear to be an outbreak of giant strains of fungus and bacteria, yet this is only the latest art exhibit to be displayed on the typically pristine walls of the Kellogg Library. And the mastermind behind this integration of art and science? Lovefy New Zealand native, Joyce Campbell, grew up on the island, surrounded by a family made up of artists, biologists, and other scientists. This might well explain her creative view into the world of bacteria and fungi. The exhibition she brings is a collection of her photographic works taken over the past six years. Campbell plans on taking this opportunity to explore the correlation of her separate works over a period of time. One of her favorite pieces of this exhibition is titled "subtilis". The open stairwell in the library will enable the 70 foot tall, 66 foot wide photograph to be displayed for art lovers and science buffs alike. "The stairwell allows people to see the work from many different perspectives and to explore it top to bottom," explains Campbell. In order to capture these intriguing masterpieces, Joyce creates photograms by transferring images onto positive photographic paper. These beautifully detailed pictures contain colonies of bacteria and fungi suspended in a gelatinous medium. Though some may consider this to be more of a flashback to their fourth grade science project, Campbell sees it differently. " I'm using photography to still dynamic systems, I'm inviting you to look more closely, and to immerse yourselves within images of structures in the process of becoming." There is a thin line drawn between art and science in Joyce Campbell's exhibit of "Growth and Change". If students would like to interpret these massive forms for themselves, they need only visit the third floor of the Kellogg Library before the end of May, or contact the library at (760) 750-4378. Biology class might never be the same again. BY NICK MCSPADDEN Special to The Pride HEY YOU ... YEAH YOU ... you owe me $27,000 and I am going to collect soon! By the way, if you see your mom, dad, sister, brother, or infant niece, tell them they owe me $27,000 too. And tell them Uncle Sam said so! 'What the heck is this guy talking about?' Let me enlighten you. I'm a finance-major and one of my required classes (FIN 321) is only offered by one professor, Dr. Steve Zera. The other day he brought up an issue in class relevant to everyone in this country and, obviously, all of us here on campus. This being our National Debt, which is going up faster t han... w ell... faster than tuition increases, or maybe even faster then our textbook publishers can put out a new edition of the same book (okay, maybe not that fast). Last semester the debt per person in this country, and that literally means everyone from day old newborns to senior citizens, was about $26,000, give or take a hundred bucks. This semester that per person debt is exceeding $27,000. 'That's not my debt, that's the government's debt.' Well who do you think pays their bills? Right, taxpayers like you and me, taxpayers who have an income and pay an income tax. Taxpayers who, like us college students, will probably be working for the next 20 to 30 years (maybe more) are going to bear the brunt of this debt; unless* of course, we want to do like our parents did and pass it on to our kids. Understand that when all these baby-boomers start to retire, the first of which are doing so this year, they will no longer have an income to tax and the burden will fall to our shoulders. The sad thing is that I don't think my parents even knew what was going on. Reaganomics hit and left us with an amazing debt of 2 trillion dollars. When Clinton came into office in 1992 our debt loomed at $4 trillion. When Bush came into office in 2000 our debt was about $5.67 trillion. As of January 24, 2006, our national debt was $8,185,315,076,347.87. That's to the penny, folks. Wanna know something even scarier? The day before, that debt was about $10 billion less. Overnight we racked up $10 billion dollars! Are you scared yet? Let's get a little more technical. According to government record, our population here in the United States is. If you divide our debt by our population then our "per person" debt is exactly $27,677.95. So pay up! Oh wait . .. you're probably in debt too! Isn't this exciting! I'm bringing this up for two reasons. One is just to promote awareness of a serious crisis coming up on the horizon, but the other is that we have an especially unique opportunity coming up on the 23 of March. When Randy "Duke" Cunningham resigned from our congressional district's seat in the House of Representatives, a lot of people thought to themselves, 'I want that job.'

Some aren't even sure of their major. For anyone at Cal State San Marcos whose stomach tightens at the idea of picking a future path, one office will seem like a godsend. Located in 4201, Craven Hall, the Career Center is dedicated to helping students help themselves by offering such services as resume critiques, mock interviews, and an open lab containing most everything a prospective employee could need. No matter what stage of the job search they're in, the Career Center can help them achieve their goals. "We're not experts in everything, but we know where to find information," said Pamela Wells, the Center's associate director. Connecting students to the community is a big part of what they do. Events like the Resume Blitz, which will take place Mar. 2, allow students to submit their resumes to actual employers and get feedback, occasionally resulting in a job or internship offer. The Career Center also has connections with many San Diego companies and can help students get their foot in the door. "It's surprising," Wells reflected during their open house, "how many students don't know we exist." It's likely that more students would take advantage of the services if they knew how much career counseling can cost after graduation. The career center doesn't charge for any service, except $3 discs if you want to record your mock interview, because part of every student's tuition goes to the career center, not just the students who utilize it. Therefore, those who think they might need even a little help in choosing a career, preparing for that career, or getting started in their field of choice, should stop by the career center.

Learn more about the field of psychology through presentations by CSUSM psychology students, guest lecturers and renowned professionals. The Psychology Student Research Fair is an opportunity for psychology students to share their research findings and ideas with fellow students and faculty. Most presentations are based on projects conducted in their research methods/independent study courses. The allday event will consist of various activities such as a career panel of psychologists, student research posters, lectures and job/graduate school information. The Psychology Student Fair has a "strong emphasis on research," says Dr. Gina Grimshaw, CSUSM psychology professor and faculty advisor for the event. Nonetheless, it still has a reputation as a fun, educational and exciting venue where many different people converge to learn more about psychology. Modeled after a professional conference, the fair gives students valued experience in presenting their work to their peers. Their scholarly research helps advance the field of psychology by presenting new ideas and findings. Off-campus and international guests are also welcome. In previous years, the Psychology Student Research Fair has had guests ranging from UCLA and USD to university students from Mexico. Students' abstracts have already been collected, and planning the exact schedule for the fair is currently under way. Similar to years past, presentations will take place in various locations around campus, such as Founders Plaza, Commons 206, and lecture halls in the Arts building. On the day of the fair, signs will be posted and programs will be handed out to guide guests through the events and presentations. While exact times will be announced soon, expect the fair to take place between 8am and 4pm. What makes this year different is keynote speaker t)r. Diane Halpern, Professor of Psychology at Claremont McKenna College and recognized expert on cognitive psychology, gender studies and critical thinking. She will give an intriguing lecture on a controversial topic: "Sex Differences in Cognitive Abilities: What if Lawrence Summers is Right?" Dr. Halpern has attracted attention nationally and internationally through her research in gender and education. As current department chair at CMC and 2004 American Psychology Association president, Dr. Halpern's insights into cognitive abilities between the sexes will no doubt arouse student interests in psychology and draw more participants to the fair. As the upcoming Psychology Student Research Fair is such an elaborate and highly-anticipated event, it might be surprising to discover that it is almost entirely student-run. A committee of about 20 students coordinate, plan and organize the research fair to showcase student projects and provide their peers with access to professionals in the psychology field.

What I find most hilarious about this event is the criticism that Kobe has received. Why can't people just enjoy something so amazing? Is it because he has a few indiscretions in his past? How many of us would be screwed if our whole life was judged on our most embarrassing moments? In my opinion, his 81 points was the greatest individual performance in NBA history and people are fixating on his past. So many things have to be going in your favor to do what he did. You need to have teammates who want to pass you the ball. You need to be facing a bad team. You need to be on a bad team. You need to have a close game so the coach doesn't pull you out after you gain a big lead. You need to hit a ton of threes while still being able to shoot some free throws. You also need to play 48-minutes and take close to 60-shots (Kobe didn't do either) and most of all, you need to really be in the zone because the opponent is going to double team you once you reach 60-points.

Chamberlain was the tallest person in the league when he played. There was no one that could defend him. All Chamberlain needed to do when he played was park under the basket and lift his hand up to put the ball in the bucket. The league had a different style to the game in Chamberlain's era. Teams nearly always scored over 100 points in a game whereas now some teams have trouble scoring over 80 points. The NBA also didn't use zone defenses which are built to stop scorers and slow down the game. Kobe's MVP resume is much more impressive now because of 81 and if the Lakers make the playoffs, I think Kobe will win the award. Just last season he was being booed in the majority of the arenas around the league. 81 created an upswing for Kobe. Consider that NBA cities outside of Los Angeles have actually been chanting "MVP" during some of his performances post-81. Too bad the rest of us can't get 81 to make our past indiscretions go away.

J ust Walk Known slang members using my legs as transportation; I was chauffeured. But what I thought was a sweet deal soon turned very sour. When I first got on the shuttle there were many seats available. Foolishly, I did not anticipate any delays in getting to my class. Several students walked passed the shuttle, graciously declining the driver's invitation to give them a lift. Fools, I thought, they don't know what they're missing. No less than two seconds later the shuttle was bombarded by my lazy colleagues. Like the last life boat on the Titanic, the shuttle was swamped with students and packed perilously full. And yet the driver (bless his heart) continued scouting for more bodies. Up and down the rows we rode, picking up more students along the way. My heart was racing. How long have I been in here, I wondered to myself. Ten? Fifteen minutes? I have to get to class pronto. But there was no way out. The shuttle was completely packed. Elbows and backpacks jabbed me. My fellow passengers were squeezed like Vienna Sausages in a can. "Don't take the shuttle next time, kids, if you think BY LORA PAINTER Pride Staff Writer Parking Lot X (or what I affectionately call the TireEating, Dust-Blowing, DirtLot) is not my friend. We have been enemies ever since it was inevitably constructed. A couple of days ago, I experienced one of the most seemingly uninteresting yet poignant events in my college career. Instead of embarking on my usual (sometimes excruciating) hike from the dirt lot to my classroom, I took the shuttle. Ever since my freshman year I can remember seeing a little white van-bus thing driving around campus with the words "Coach USA" patriotically plastered on its side. I also remember wondering where the heck it came from and where was it going. It seems as if fate brought us together, the van-bus and I. As I locked my car and turned up to begin my trek, two plastic doors of the shuttle opened up before me. They were like golden gates to a castle. I was like a guppy, drawn to the lure of an angler fish. The gods have finally smiled upon me! No more walking in dirt for this girl. No more relegating myself to CC^RECtli^^ you might be late to class," the driver said with the halfhearted apology, "see how long it took me to load up?" Too little, too late, bud. I'm going to be late to class because of this shuttle ride and it's all your fault! I am definitely writing to my congressman about this. To add insult to injury, the driver catches every red light, prolonging my anxiety even more. The girl sitting next to me looks indifferent, the word "whatever" molded into her face. She must be a regular. I see the giant staircase by Craven Hall looming in the distance. The shuttle finally slows to a stop and the passengers spill out of the shuttle, stampeding to class. Well, Lora, you survived this one. I appreciate the service provided by the shuttle and its driver, but I think I'll stick to my traditional way of transportation: walking. I have learned from this experience that perceived convenience does not always bring the results I plan for. Pace yourselves. Realize there is no 'easy' button. As college students, we should apply this concept to every aspect of our lives. It's like the wise man said, "if you're running late, don't take the bus." ARTICLE CSUSM g T^UISlé.^^^ HAVE READ LORA PAINTER« BY PIYAMAS SABLAN Pride Staff Writer CSUSM is still largely considered a commuter campus and as such the campus receives students from all over southern California. You may be able to figure out what cities or counties students are from by their clothing, but the main giveaway comes from their choice of words in a casual conversation. According to the MerriamWebster web site http://www.mw.com/dictionary/slang, slang is "language peculiar to a particular group." Due to its lack of formality, slang may not be accepted in environments that require professionalism, but when the environment is more comfortable and relaxed, slang seeps into the conversation. It helps individuals identify with each other when there may be no connection elsewhere. Certain slang words can identify where an individual is from. San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco have their own unique slang. Some commonly used slang used to describe something as nice are, "tight," "sweet," "gansta," "dope," "pimp," and "game." San Diego locals would say something nice is "sick" or "off the hook." Los Angeles locals would say it's "ill" or "off the chain", and San Francisco locals would say it's "hyphy". Instead of saying "really" to add emphasis to a word, San Diego locals say "hella" and San Francisco locals say "hecka". Commonly used slang to say you are going to leave a location are, "jet," "split," "bounce," "roll out," "bone out," "shake the spot," and "cruise." Slang used to letter from the Managing Editor BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Staff Writer So there I was, walking through the store early one morning in January, looking for some new black socks, when my phone rang. I had lost my socks (along with various other clothing items) at a hotel party a couple nights before on New Years ... but that's another story. Back to the phone call, so there I was looking for socks when my phone rang, and low and behold, it was Patrick Long, Editor in Chief of The Pride, giving me a call and I look for mistakes in an effort to improve the paper. As Managing Editor, I help lend offering me an opportunity I couldn't refuse. a hand to the terrific group of editors I Although half asleep at the time, I knew at work with - Christine, Zachary, Erin, Jason that moment that my days as Ombudsman Encabo, Jason Saumur, and Patrick. I overwere over: I was now Managing Editor of see the process of putting the paper together The Pride. every weekend, and look for ways to make While being Managing Editor is a lot The Prideflyoff the racks even faster. Being more work than I imagined when I accepted Managing Editor has given me a new level the job a month ago, it is also far more fid- of respect for the editors that were with The filling than Ombudsman was, and it allows Pride last semester. me to help make The Pride the newspaper Still, while I'm no longer the Ombudsman, that you (the students) and I talked so much it is still part of my willing duty as Managabout last semester. In a way, my new posi- ing Editor to handle your questions and your tion at The Pride encompasses many of the concerns. Last semester we established a same aspects that it did as Ombudsman; system by which you the students could send say goodbye usually via telephone or letter are "stay up," "late," "laters," "peace," "I'm out," and "I'll holla." Some slang used to describe an altered state of mind induced by alcohol or an illegal substance are "lit," "loaded," "buzzed," and "faded." Car is replaced by "ride." Instead of shoes they're "kicks" and instead of a hat it's a "lid." "Threads" or "gear" are used in place of clothes or outfit. Males use "fine," "dime," "honey," and "shorty" to describe attractive females. Slang to describe the act of showing something off is to "rock," "sport," and "floss." To describe someone deep in a romantic relationship "sprung" and "on lock" are used. Someone trying to flirt with another individual in the hopes of getting his or her telephone number or "digits," is "spittin" or "trying to kick game." If you like someone you're "jockin" or "feelin" that person. If someone is getting upset or angry "pump yo breaks" and "slow yo roll" are used to tell the person to calm down. When you are spending time with friends, usually at a small barbecue or shindig, you're "kickin back" or "chillin." Some individuals may perceive slang as representative of having a limited vocabulary but it's the opposite. The addition of slang to a person's vocabulary increases the amount of words he or she knows and adds a conversational level the individual can relate to others on. Slang changes with each generation and latest trend. It may be hard t a keep up with the latest lingo but some slang words remain constant. So stay up, peace, laters, I'm out. your suggestions, your comments, and your letters to the editor to me - that's a tradition I look to continue this semester. So, besides being Managing Editor, besides running a weekly beer column, and besides trying not to fail out of college, I want you to tell me what you think, what's on your mind. Even if it's bad, even if it's that you hjate the paper - tell me, because I'll try to solve the problem and do my best to address your issues. Thus, until it's summer and I start actually sleeping again (maybe), tell me what's on your mind, what type of music you're listening to, what your favorite movie is, and what's wrong and what's great with The Pride at schra009@csusm.edu or pride@csusm.edu.

BY ZACHARY SIMON Pride Staff Writer "You just see these movies for the sex and violence." Sound familiar? Well it should. 'Cause you do. Don't feel bad on my account; movies didn't begin earning puerile interest on yours. That we have people who can't legally drink discussing the 'bygone days of Hollywood' falls further at the feet of the critics than moviegoers. It should come as common courtesy, to say nothing of sense, that the average person is interested more in whether they'll see a picture than whether I'll remember it. You don't owe my taste a thing, thus it's up to me to feed your curiosity, or maybe burp your skepticism. Shamelessly cringe at the "Action" pack. Whither without shame at the prospect of "Romance." The stereotypes surrounding these genres are disgustingly true, and nine times out of ten you should be forced to grease your popcorn with your own gonads for supporting either one. The results of Hate/Violence and Love/Sex are too profound and impacting to be dealt with in anything but either the coldest realism or the highest fantasy, hence the inspiration to juxtapose "Hostel" to "Underworld: Evolution". It also seems important to reach out to all those who would 'only' see these movies for the same combo package, to warn against pursuing hungers that could leave them either malnourished, or perhaps bloated. There's no shame in wanting more of what you couldn't get once upon a time, II and none in preferring it now in more refined quantities. (I've been known to dine with tight ties as well as loose belts) "Underworld: Evolution" caught my attention firstly because the first film involved hyper-modern vampiresfightingwerewolves and yet it had NOT been a hopelessly corny piece of schlock. The only draw to overshadow this was the 'R' rating amid so many shameless ploys to exploit the average teenager's underdeveloped value of a filmmaker's time and their parent's money. And yet, even though I'd been surprised into satisfaction by the original, I was still not expecting much from the sequel as I've seen too many CGIdriven movies given a great crew, but no pilot. There are a fair number of overdone lines and performances throughout, each flavoring the incidents where any Yank could have told them a simpler way to solve, or even avoid the present conflict. Ah yes, leave it to the British to cure ham where we would grind beef. On the whole, though, plot and dialog remain solid . .. for a vampire flic. And what a blessing this is, as it would have been a shame revenge after "Underworld: Evolution", and it's worth noting that our heroine is made neither weak nor distant to satisfy any lingering memories of when it was a man's underworld. This brings us down, deep dark down, to "Hostel". Hear this, brothers in horror: unless that special person in your life has a deep love of tits and gore, and I mean 'tits and gore', not nudity and violence, I suggest you not even mention this film. In recent years there have been but a few tributes to a time when the celluloid slaughterhouse and cathousewere separated by nothing but a porous picket fence. Today, indeed, even in their time, the available to dull visuals that will claw the expletives right out of you. We're talking professional, hyper-stylized, exaggerated violence here. Death involves blood and pain, cold Will and unbridled Fury. I raise my glass to its red moon. As for the sex, however, our more Randy Nightbreeds might leave feeling their testosterone unevenly distributed. Yes, our Courtesy of Lakeshore Entertainment heroine does engage in unholy union. It was tantalizing, yet tasteful. There is only one other steam scene, however, and it can hardly be called either. It could have done well as a more raw and carnal contrast, but only if given a little more time and creativity amid the absurd notion that bloody vampire threesomes will see you taken more seriously if you keep your top on. In this respect, however, the average girlfriend is far less likely to demand chick-flic technologies (and apparently unavailable script doctors) give these films a kind of slapstick surrealism. If anyone laughs at "Hostel," it is clearly to suppress or otherwise mask a more embarrassing reaction. This latest work from the director of "Cabin Fever" is most certainly not a chance to convert the squeamish. If anything, it may do the opposite, as it removes any notion of human cruelty as an amusing catharsis with a frank portrayal of those who would treat it as precisely that. Everything about "Hostel" is disturbingly believable, even amid some overtly mood-building dialogue and convenient twists of plotted fate. The characters are well delivered, and the violence, the charnel house gore, is graphic enough to make even Mel Gibson proud, despite the considerable quantity of hot naked chicks fornicating in the first 30 minutes. The absence of complex women does, however, leave a sense that the filmmakers worked in a frame of adolescent isolation. Moviegoers with a clear ear will also notice the disappointing transition in the soundtrack from effectively eerie electronics to base blockbuster bombast. To "Hostel's" greatest credit though, is the malleable final-lesson, forever dancing seamlessly between "don't venture too far into the forest" and "the worst of us is within each of us". Those with a bottomless appetite for the human abyss have an A-moral obligation to see this utterly essential contribution, but the rest are best advised to get their ultra-violent waves through a more obviously fabricated filter. Blood for blood, both "Underworld: Evolution" and "Hostel" maintain a sharp seat-edge, and are worth the theater experience to those already inclined. While the latter may have twice the wit, it hasn't half the grace, and while the former may not send you away in contemplation, insight might not justify the risk of nausea. As to whether sex and violence is ever 'just,' let the older generation decide, with entertainment made explicitly and graphically for them.

Dress for Spring 2006 BY ANDREW RUISEÑOR Pride Staff Writer Men, it's time to drop the collars on your polos and listen up, spring fashion is out and it's time let go and move on. This season is all about being a 70's rock icon to an 80's punk god to the yuppies you were raised by, but before we go into that let's step back. First and foremost, get denim that fits you. For example, low rise ~ not ok (enough with the boxers out already). Your jeans should be higher on the waist, skinnier leg, and a light fade is nothing to be afraid of. If you're going to be wearing shorts this spring, plaid below the knee or destroyed denim shorts are a must to pull off that yuppie/ punk appeal. As far as dressing up is concerned, black or cream pants contoured with an opposite-colored belt says, "I am dressed up, but still edgy and ready for business." For tops, it is all about being that 70's rock icon. Were talking the vintage rocker "T" shirt that looks beat up and thrown on with your favorite band's logo on your chest. Black, red, cream, blue, and other colors are ok; it's spring so feel free to be adventurous. Yeah, there might be some bleach on it and maybe it's a little tight but go with it, after all, you don't care, you're a rock star. Also, men, ditch the sleeves this spring and show of your guns, big or small, and finally rid those tan lines once and for all. But if you're not so much a rock star or a punk prince, feel free to go with floral prints (please just stay away from the Hibiscus). A nice button up with some floral print is just the thing. Not to mention, white fitted jackets are huge this spring, so the lining can also have some flavor with floral. As far as jackets are concerned, sport coats for dinner and jeans should stick to one button, unless you are getting a suit, then it is about fitted double breasted jackets. Not to be confused with the double breasted jacket you borrowed from your dad for homecoming that was also double the size. Make these jackets and coats yours, so put a couple of pins on them to make them edgier then the normal formal. Be you, and be the guy others want to emulate. Now we're getting into accessories. If you want to catch those over critical eyes, why not try a leather wristband, or some dog tags. If all else fails, just have some cool sneakers on, or boots that can kick your best buddy's butt. Men's spring fashion is about being brash and out of control. Be loud, be risky, be you. Modify what you have read and make some of it fit. Beoroftheweek: Capistrano Honey Ale BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Staff Writer In today's world, where television advertisements for beer are dominated by brands like Coors, Miller, and Budweiser, it's unfortunate that many beers on the opposite end of the spectrum get very little attention - especially when they are really good beers. Micro-brewery beers are one such type of beer, and one very good one is the Capistrano Brewing Co.'s Honey Pale Ale. One of three beers put forth by this small micro-brewery based locally in southern Orange County, Honey Pale Ale has all the qualities that many mainstream beers are missing. With its golden hue, mild hops, and slightly sweet honey flavor, the Pale Ale is a delightful beer, not too strong, like some darker beers, yet lacking in neither flavor nor texture, given its light color. A slice of lemon added to a cold glass of the Pale Ale also serves to mask any bitterness, and actually strengthens the flavors produced by the honey and citrus used. The Capistrano Brewing Co. takes its name and logo from the old Spanish mission in historic San Juan Capistrano, where swallows still come to nest each year. Artwork associated with the Capistrano Brewing Co. features scenes from the mission and the swallow as chief motifs, along with the phrase "Follow the Swallow," on all its products. While the Capistrano Brewing Co. has yet to establish a home brewery in San Juan Capistrano, many local bars in Orange County, such as Boosters and the Capistrano Wine Bar, as well as some in San Diego County, carry the Honey Pale Ale on tap. Honey Pale Ale is definitely one regional beer that is worth following the swallow for. To learn more about Honey Pale Ale and the Capistrano Brewing Co., visit their website at www.capistranobrewingco.com. Photo by Matthew Schramm / The Pride BY AMANDA KEELEY Pride Staff Writer Spring is right around the corner and all the top designers are coming out with their latest collections for spring 2006. Ladies, that means it's time to get into those closets and clear out the old and make room for the new. In order to have the hottest looks, here are ten trends to be aware of this season. With warmer weather and days by the beach, spring collections are bringing in the nautical look with blue and white sailor stripes and, for extra flare, brass buttons, which are great for a day by the sea or j ust to add a little whimsy to your look. Another tendency when the weather t urns warm is to shed those winter coasts and show a little more. Needless to say, skin is in this season . .. or at least the appearance of skin with colors like beige, white, cream and nude. You'll be giving the illusion of sexy flesh while still being covered up. Keeping to the theme of skin, Bermuda shorts, which cut off at the knee, are out, and short shorts are in. Don't be a fraid to show some leg! If you're looking for a more conservative look to cover those cute behinds, go with extremely slender, perfectly tailored pants that cut off j ust above the ankle. As f ar as waistlines go, pants and shorts that bunch up at the top, otherwise known as the paper bag waist, or fold over at the top, are popular this season. For an ultra-girly-girl look, sixty-style baby doll dresses are making a comeback in many prints and styles. Bold prints such as A frican motifs, giant geometric shapes and j umbo blossoms give a dramatic statement to the baby doll dress. But if sweet innocence is what you are looking for, then baby doll dresses made with delicate laces, flowing white eyelet and embroidered designs are a p erfect fit. Now for the f un part that we all love, accessories. Thick belts are wrapping their way around our hearts and our waists this season. Worn high around the midsection, not the hips, they give the waist a cinched in look which makes this accessory a must have. P urses are going extreme in spring. Having an exciting night on the town? Go with a petite p urse j ust big enough to hold the essentials like lipstick, cash, cell phone and identification card. For a great day-time look, go with an extra large purse, but unlike last season when purses were really big with crazy colors and prints, this season is about clean lines and geometric shapes which play into the sixties chic rather than sixties hippy. Finally, the shoes. Spring 2006 is all about high wedges and chunky heel platforms. The style of the shoes encompasses this season's mix of sleek and bold in one simple accessory. With all these tips, you'll look like you j ust f reshly stepped off the runway by getting a head start on the hottest fashion trends. Spring 2006 is all about having f un and showing off those sexy assets that make you a fabulous female. Rockin' at the House of Blues BY KANONNI WILLIAMS Pride Staff Writer With banging beats, live entertainment, good food and freebies, "House of Blues San Diego" (1055 Fifth Ave., San Diego 92101) is sure to be a hot spot for party-goers 21 and over. On the night I visited House of Blues, Feb. 1, west coast rapper/producer, DJ QUIK was performing his greatest hits backed by his live band, "The Formula" in the music hall of House of Blues. The hip hop duo, DUEX PROCESS was the opening act for QUIK, Tickets were sold at $27. House of Blues,fairly new to San Diego, having opened its doors in May 2005, is located in downtown San Diego (partygoers' paradise). House of Blues attracts a highly diverse crowd, reflecting the different faces of San Diego County. The age range, on this particular night, was very broad, ranging from 21 to about midthirties (or higher). While in line to enter the House of Blues, guests were asked to sign up for the House of Blues mailing list and, as a token of their gratitude (or method of promotion), every lady who signed up received two free passes to Club Hustle's College Night, located in House of Blues' Salvation Alley. College Night is every Friday and is well on its way to becom- ing "the hottest Friday night dance club in San Diego." I recommend all the party-goers (21 and up) here at CSUSM go check out College Night at the House of Blues and represent the Cougars, and show San Diego that the Aztecs are not the only ones that know how to party. Clubbin' is not the only thing House of Blues has to offer, if you enjoy southern-inspired cuisine, House of Blues has an experience waiting for you. The kitchen is open daily 11:30 a.m. 'til last call (midnight). House of Blues also offers daily entertainment, from music to comedy shows and performances. DJ QUIK was one of many performers coming to the House of Blues this month. Jr. Vasquez (dance) will be there Feb. 5, Rick Ortiz presents: Noches Rockeras (Latin) on Feb. 8, Social Distortion (rock) on Feb. 20 and Tommy the Clown (comedy) on Feb. 26. Tickets for these events and many others can be purchased at the box office (619) 299-BLUE or through Ticketmaster (619) 220-tixs. The atmosphere is fabulous at the House of Blues. It is large in size, allowing enough room for a very large crowd without having to be packed like Sardines. It has beautifully decorated walls, featuring modern colors, hanging paintings and other interesting art works. One of the best features of the House of Blues is its booming sound system. The sound system features equipment from Telex Pro Audio brands EV, Midas and Klark Teknik. The bass flows through your chest; it sounds and feels really great! The restrooms are well kept, which was impressive to me, because I've seen many neglected restrooms in different nightclubs. The women's restroom was clean with a fresh scent, there were ample mirrors and gorgeous light fixtures. There was also a restroom attendant handing out paper towels, mints and body spray for tips. There's an ATM machine near the bar, for those who do not carry much cash. I really got my money's worth and then some when I think of the whole night. DJ QUIK, who is "blowing his mid-thirties," put on a great show. He poured wine in glasses of those audience members who were lucky enough to be close to the stage. Later, he gave the whole audience a champagne shower; he shook up a bottle of bubbly and popped the top, allowing the tasty, yet very wet, contents to rain down on the audience. Before QUIK came on stage, the House of Blues DJ was giving out freebies to the livest audience members. I was live enough to snag two of six tickets to the Tommy the Clown comedy act scheduled for later this month. Other freebies included House of Blues T-Shirts and tickets to other events. The house special for the night was $5 Heinekens, which was my drink of choice for the evening. I totally had a great time and would recommend the House of Blues to anyone looking for a good time. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

As a result they were forced to stop practicing and have not done so for the past two months. Coach Groom stated, "Most colleges have cheerleading liability covered under the athletic department's liability, however this cheer squad is not covered under the CSUSM coverage." When asked why they could not obtain insurance on their own the Coach replied, "Three of the coaches had offered to pay, but if they did the program would inherit the cost of any liability." PRIDE STAFF WRITER Trestand Conrique, a prominent businessman in North County, has recently donated $50,000 for the construction of the new Library Information Center at CSUSM. Conrique's donation not only pushed the university over the top of its $2.5 million goal, the donation was also doubled. Jean and W. Keith Kellogg II, in a challenge grant, had pledged to match donations dollar-for-dollar up to a $500,000 total. Conrique, President of Rancho Santa Fe Technologies, is also a member of the Trust Foundation Board, a 16-member fundraising committee made up of "movers and shakers" in the community, according to Linda Fogerson, Director of Development at CSUSM. The Board is part of the driving force for private funding of the University Capital Campaign and their efforts to raise money for new facilities at CSUSM. This is not the first donation Conrique has made to the university. Last year he donated $50,000 to the athletic program at CSUSM. "Without him, the program may not have gotten out of the starting block," Fogerson said. Conrique has also pledged to donate an additional $50,000 to the construction of the M.

Mano a Mano: The Painted Hand Exhibit Comes to CSUSM Sonia Gutierrez PRIDE STAFF WRITER ~~ ~ ~ On February 2, 2000, the Arts & Lecture Series commenced the Spring semester with Roberto Salas's art exhibition, "Mano a Mano: The Painted Hand." Salas's work contrasts bright and dark colors in a struggle against and toward each hand in the series. Salas's title carries the Spanish expression "mano a mano" that does not translate perfectly into English. In Spanish, the phrase connotes "a face to face confrontation" or "a competitive struggle."^ Acrylic hand paintings in black woodenframesmake up the Salas exhibition. The hands in Salas's pieces communicate through gestures, each with an individualized tattoo. The paintings depict a range of hand gestures being purposely positioned to take on different meanings,fromthe left and right hands clenching at the fist, to open hands reaching out, and to a hand grasping a red ball with the word "rebote," which translates to "rebound" in English. «. Artist Roberto Salas sculpts a hand for his Mano a Mano show. tioned in a unique gesture with its own tattoo. Vina Matsen, a Liberal Arts major, commented on one of her favorite pieces.

FOR THE FIRST TIME EPvcyRL Salas's sensitivity and desire as a private and public artist developed while growing up in a non-affluent neighborhood. Salas writes, "It has been my goal to improve the quality of life by making art which is accessible conceptually and physically to communities of people who are unfamiliar with sanctity of museums and galleries." Salas's humanistic ideals and his concern for the well being of humanity are qualities which earned his piece, "Dream," a place in the Martin Luther King Jr. Promenade in downtown San Diego. $20,000 CASHBONUS PLUS $50,000 FOR COLLEGE.

Willi over five months spent training, track athletes have optimistic attitudes and have set high goals for themselves. Approximately twenty-five students anticipate a season that will lead them to national competition. Returning cross-country champion, Marcus Chandler, plans to compete at the national level in the 1500-meter race. Amy Taylor, an accomplished hurdler, plans to run the 400-meter hurdles at the national level. Heather Garritson also plans on competing at the national level, running distance races ranging from 1500 to 3000 meters. Jason McLevy, Jacquline Campos, Denaye Lakotich, and Robert Villegas are also determined to qualify for national competition. The team will face strong competition in the Mt. SAC Relays. Mt. SAC is nationally recognized as a "fast track", often giving athletes an opportunity to improve their marks in magnitudes that would be more difficult to accomplish on "slower" tracks. Mt. SAC is also nationally known for its Olympic Status, holding many Olympic trials and maintaining numerous Olympic records. Meets held at Azusa Pacific University will also prove to be helpful in increasing marks, since it is a "fast track" as well. Although there are no current plans to hold meets at CSUSM's track this season, students are encouraged to drive to Long Beach, Fullerton, Pamona, Mt. San Antonio (Mt. SAC), Azusa, Irvine, Northridge and British Columbia (national competition) in support of the team! | o nly place where you can get y our textbooks What more can we say? ia • • • • •i UNIVERSITY ST I A • • mP Rm %Jr � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The agreement allows Discount Campus B ooks access to almost all of the b ooks used this spring semester, but at a cost of $1.50 per requisition. With 675 requisitions for the spring semester alone, that is a cost of $975 for Discount Campus Books. That amount is an acceptable cost for the store that is hoping to t urn a measurable profit for the first time. "We're happy as heck to p ossibly b e making money this semester," said John Kilby, manager of the store. With the requisitions, Kilby said they have already seen a 30 p ercent increase in sales this semester alone. In addition, with an agreement with the Foundation, Discount Campus Books can eliminate the lawyer's fees they have b een paying to keep the fight going, Kilby said. The-agreement, which covers the spring and summer 2005 semesters, will b e renegotiated f or the fall 2005 semester. Kilby is optimistic about the f uture negotiations. " I don't know (how the negotiations will go), I assume they will go okay," said Kilby. Prior to this agreement, Discount Campus Books had to order b ooks for the current semesters based on previous semester's orders. This o ften led to wrong orders of outdated editions or books discontinued for particular classes. Some professors provided book information, but accurate i nformation was not directly provided. "It is a w in f or the students," said Kilby.

Private investigator Lynn Button, a retired CSU police chief, and CSUSM Literature and Writing Department Chair Professor Susie Lan Cassel conducted the investigation into Williams' complaint. The four page investigation summary, dated February 1, devoted more than three of its pages to making recommendations for change within the CSUSM police department. The report suggests the creation of a task force to conduct "an in depth study regarding arrest demographics in terms of race." In the report, the investigators remark at the Hispanic arrest rate of 41percent during the last three years as "deserv(ing) further review." The report states: "It is troubling to see that the Hispanic arrest rate is nearly that of the white arrest rate and nearly double the percentage of Hispanic students on campus." Other recommendations in the report include the commencing of an internal review by University police of the department's arrest statistics in regards to race and to present those findings to the vice president and president of the university, the establishment of a community oversight committee to review arrests "to ward against race inequity" was also recommended as well as changing the complaint procedures to be "both student-friendly and statistically useful." The documenting of traffic stops and arrests "to ward against racial profil- BOOKSTORE, f rom page 1 ing," the adoption of a community policing model, the training of CSUSM police officers in "cultural sensitivity" and the changing of University police reports to contain "more descriptive facts" rounded out the report's recommendations. Interim Chief of University Police Aaron Woodard said^he felt that the investigation was, "complete and thorough," and that he "felt good about" the officers' in the complaint being cleared of wrongdoing. "Anyone investigating (the case) would have come to the same conclusions," said Woodard. When asked about the recommendations in the investigation report, Woodard said that many of the recommendations are already being implemented. "We (University police) have to and are doing more to get the people to get to know who we are," said Woodard. He declined f urther comment o n specific recommendations within the report citing the current review of the report within the campus policing task force. Jason Williams expressed his disappointment that the officers were cleared and remarked that the findings were, "how i thought everything would work out," and that he was "trying not to let things like this get me down." Williams said that he was concerned that the clearing of the officers involved in his traffic stop sent the wrong message to the campus and community at large. "It is like saying that this was OK. What do you think the justice system will do to me? What do you think is happening to those not in colleges?" said Williams. Expressing his belief that university police should be more of a p eacekeeping force than a strict enforcement agency Williams said, "no one should be getting arrested on college campuses unless there is a big emergency." Photo by Michael Dolan / The Pride I hope to get 90-95 percent of the books assigned." This semester, the off campus alternative got about 85 percent of the books, Kilby said. In addition to book sales, Discount Campus Books is offering tax service for students for the first time this semester. "We will keep selling books at a discount, but we will expand to include other services," Kilby said. The representatives from the Foundation who negotiated the agreement with Discount Campus Books were out of the office on Monday and unavailable for comment.

Haynes presented her first report to the community, "Building Vital Communities," in the Clark Field House, February 3. According to the President's website, approximately 130 members of the community paid $15 to hear President Haynes' speech with a breakfastJxiffet on the side. The Pride did not attend the event, but did receive a copy of President Haynes' speech from the Office of Communications. Haynes' speech read CSUSM's current slogan, "We're Building a Place for You," has become outdated and fails to highlight all of the expansion the campus has undergone in the past 15 years. According to Haynes' speech, "We have now built a place for you. We are ready to move from our past success to significance, building vital communities through education and partnerships." The speech outlined three essential building blocks to expand our "vibrant and Vital commun i t y " - academic excellence, cultural and intellectual vibrancy, and the final block is civic leadership. Haynes' speech stressed academic excellence is the top priority. The university will continue to develop new academic majors and expand on existing programs to meet the needs of the community. "As these new majors and concentrations are rolled out, they will include the strengths of our existing programs and what has built our academic reputation to date: writing and second language requirements, use of technology, problem solving and teamwork approaches to learning, and community service," as read in Haynes' speech. call for similar parking fee increases for faculty. The plan* went into effect under the direction of former CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez (July 1998 - June 2003), before he moved on, as a ten year plan to help accommodate the expected increase in enrollment. Since Cal. State San Marcos is considered a commuter school, most of the students drive to school and the demand for parking space will increase with enrollment. Unlike San Diego State, where they have 36,000 students and 12,000 parking spaces, students here at CSUSM always have a place to park, even if it is in the dirt lot and Parking Services wants to keep it that way. Robert Williams, the Coordinator of Business Operations & Technology, Parking Services, explained how in order to pay for new spaces on campus, Parking Services has to come up with its own money. "We are self supporting. .. (and) many people do not realize how expensive it is," said Williams. Money designated to schools from the state of California cannot be used for parking services and the expense of building just a flat surface is increasing in California. "Many people do not realize how expensive it is," said Williams talking about how the cost of construction and labor in California has gone up. He said that a flat surface to fit 1200 spaces will run about 354 million dollars. Williams also said that the plan to build a parking structure in 2010 will probably run about 18 million dollars. Williams also talked about the difficulty to get approval for such construction. "It's like buying a house," said Williams, "Parking services has to apply for loans, we have money in the bank, and we have to get preapproved for any of these construction projects to get underway." When asked why students must bare the brunt of the fee increase alone he said Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride that "faculty [parking fee someone that has a similar start operations in late 2007, increases] have to be done at school schedule. according to the NCTD web the state level."

Their visits to our campus may seem sporadic, however there is a scheduled time set aside once a month for them to set up shop. Getting vendors on our campus is a fairly easy process. The majority of vendors and organizations solicit the school and ask to set up booths. Marc D eGuzman, vice president of finance of Associated Students, Inc., is the head of the Cougar Bazaar.

" I don't m ind them being there, I j ust don't like it when they're aggressive," said CSUSM student Talisha St. John. "A lot of u s on campus can't a fford to buy these things anyway," said St. John. In the past, students have not had a say in which vendors they would like to see on campus, but D eGuzman stated that this was something they would add to their suggestion cards in the f uture. Perhaps students wouldn't feel so indifferent if some of the vendors were picked by them. ASI usually posts the schedule on the window outside their office facing Founders Plaza. The next stream of vendors are scheduled to b e here in March. T he area around Commons and the Founders Plaza smelled of smoke f rom the brief fire that followed the explosion. The San Marcos Fire Department was called out to inspect the light and t he interior of Commons 206 to ensure there was no danger of a residual fire. The inspection revealed no f urther danger. Members of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority were gathering f or a meeting outside Commons 206 when the explosion occurred. "It literally j ust popped o ff," said sophomore Jacelyn Foley. " Then a fire started behind it." ' It smelled real b ad," said Christina Salter, sophomore. The sorority was meeting to discuss spring recruitment. Hernandez said that Facility Services h ad been contacted and would handle the repair of light. At press time, there was no plan to close or restrict access to the second floor Commons corridor.

Ishmael Reed's body of work r uns the gamut. From novels, poetry and songwriting to television production, publishing, playwriting and magazine editing. He has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, and was twice a finalist for the National Book Award. He was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in University since the late 1960s. One of Reed's most recent essays, "Another Day at the Front," is a deftly crafted social criticism of the homefront war. America's long tradition of racism is explored in this work, which evokes deep emotional Photo courtesy of The Circle Brotherhood Association responses f rom its readers. One of the purposes of his work has been to provoke people to think differently about their culture and their place in society. Reed -is a master of collage and improvisation, with the ability to entertain his audience with humorous exaggeration and sharp wit. He is often misunderstood because satire and irony cannot be appreciated if the audience does not have the appropriate background to comprehend his ideas. Much of his satire is aimed at the status quo and sometimes his readers are offended by his idea of "Neohoodooism," a name Reed coined to describe his philosophy of accepting many truths. Reading one of Reed's novels like "Mumbo Jumbo" or "Yellow Back Radio Broke Down" is a challenge, but it helps one gain a sense of his perspective of black culture in*America. Reed's lecture, "Honoring Black History Month," promises to be as entertaining and thought provoking as his books, poetry and essays. It will be presented February 15 at 7:00 p.m. in Arts 240. Seating will be limited, so early arrival is recommended.

I hope doesn't seem to reflect in Bush's that politics in this country could statement "America's economy is be a bit less childish. However I the fastest growing of any major demand however that politicians industrialized nation." Perhaps to end sexism which includes the LGBT community. There is a growing resentment in this country against homosexuals. It's bad enough that the president and so many other politicians are invoking their religion on us, but now the debate against homosexuals is to make sure they are'denied the rights of any type of heterosexual union. I ask people all the time "Why do you care if they get married? Does it impact you personally? Would it affect your pocket book?" The answer to most is no with a condition. They say allowing this will tear apart the moral fabric of America. America, a country in which 1 in 3 women are raped, were people of color are unreasonably searched and arrested, and where we send our children off to war on false premises. All of these immoral acts occurred on this very campus last semester. I hope they are not talking about that America. I was told by one man "I don't want to have to explain to my children why gays are allowed to marry " That could be a valid point, but consider this: 50 years ago about at least half of the U.S. citizens, most which were Anglos, were saying "I don't want to have to explain to my children why interracial dating or marriage is acceptable?' The separation of church and state has been so blurred in this country. If the church refuses to marry these people in "Holy Matrimony," than the state should. Why does the church have so much power on a legal binding contract such as marriage? As far as I know though I could be wrong many gays do not intend to be part of this patriarchal Judeo-Christian institution. By not belonging to it however, they are denied family rights such as, family visitation, inheritance, and much much more. If I can ask anything of my fellow comrades, it is not to support the church in its role in the government. We kick them out for a good reason; do not let them dictate what is moral. Remember church and state are separate. "The Phantom Writer" shown us that you are concerned about your freedoms. But where have all of these demanding students gone? From all of the support at every rally, forum andprotests where are you when we need a solid organization to keep us going? For those of you who have held a sign at the Michael Moore rally for Freedom of Information, where are you when organizations for positive social change are struggling to pay for the tables, the banners and the sign that you held? Where is our support when we need just people to help us put on events, when we need members just to put on a fundraiser? The Progressive Activists Network (PAN) is working hard to bring support to those in need, to voice student concern and to keep ourselves running with new members. Our meetings are empty and our f unds are low. With all of the turnout at rallies, PAN is growing into a well known organization. But with only 4 people pulling all of the levers to make it work, we would like support not j ust at our events, but at our meet- ings, tabling and fundraising. For the 237 people who have signed onto our list serve, and the 227 people who have never come to a meeting or have asked how they can help, I call on you to help PAN grow. For the 400+ people who signed the letter to Karen Haynes, demanding an answer to her decisions, where are you as we continue to look for an answer? For the hundreds of people who have stopped at our events, forums, rallies and protests, I ask you to join us in our fight for academic freedom, a socially conscious campus, and maybe just an hour of your week.

Last week while looking for a parking spot, I realized that there were some open spots in lot K, adjacent to campus police and the University Village apartments. Without noticing the sign saying "UVA parking only," I parked in one of the many open spots in the lot. When I returned to my vehicle I found the $100 parking ticket and realized my mistake. Fine, my fault for not being observant and wanting to park on pavement, but is $100 an appropriate fine? As Patrick B. Long writes this week in his article about parking on campus, Parking Services is self-supporting, so I assumed the $100 fine was a way for Parking Services to support itself. A fter talking with Patti Hale at Parking Adjudication, I learned that Parking Adjudication receives all fine monies a fter $5 goes to the state. Hale also informed me that under state law, Parking Services and Parking Adjudication are separate and fine monies can't b e used for parking improvements. Funds collected f rom parking tickets can be used to finance Parking Adjudication and alternative transportation funding. Photo by Chezare Milo / The Pride Basically my $100 fine will go towards services I will never use. I j ust don't understand the rationale behind making students bear the cost of parking improvements and/or alternatives while receiving no relief. The price of parking remains the same as the availability of parking spaces goes down. Something is wrong. Last semester I could almost always find available parking on the pavement during peak hours, but now with a total enrollment increase o f295 students, I have a hard tinie finding parking outside of the dirt lot. Being that this is largely a commuter campus, it was unfair and irresponsible to not increase available, easily accessible paved student parking to accommodate the additional parking volume. I feel ripped off for having to pay $158 for a parking spot that either requires I park on dirt and walk for 20 minutes to get to class or show up to campus when the sun comes up. We, the students, pay the same amount of money and get less - it's just not right. If CSUSM accepts more students, there need to be adequate increases in services to assure the same availability and quality of the service, and already cash-strapped Students shouldn't bear the cost of improvements they will never use.

T H E P RIDE l i l l l S i Eastwood's "Baby" proves buzz-worthy BY Y VONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer The Oscar b uzz is in f ull swing and movie f ans are waiting to find out if the Academy will choose to honor a l ife story about real people or a compelling story about real life. Clint Eastwood's "Million Dollar B aby" is yet another boxing movie, but it is much more than that. It is a film that challenges the viewer by a ffirming life as well as pointing out how f ragile it can be. Hillary Swank plays Maggie, a trailer-trash waitress who dreams of t raining to become a champion boxer. She j oins a worn-out old g ym owned by Frankie, played by Clint Eastwood. H e h as n o interest in training a "girly," but even- Break beats and percussion...is t his a techno song, you ask yourself. But when the acoustic guitar kicks in, it seems to fill a whole other genre. Teaming u p with Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie), Jimmy Tamborello (Dentl) wound up incorporating a whole new scene for the kids lost among this emo/punk era. Fanciful lyrics and beats upon beats lead u p to The Postal Service's first album release "Give Up." Deep lyrics and references to subjects like d rug abuse - and being trapped within ourselves compliment the free-flowing, u pbeat tempo of songs like "Such Great H eights" The Postal Service's recent success is due to the f act that their lyrics resonate with t oday's youth, and fill a void f or t oday's adolescent. With songs ranging in vocal precision and intricate b ass chimes, t he song "Clark G able" gives young audiences a great feeling of welcome and support in this society of structure. A s f ans wait for their next release, it is certain that despite wherever they tread musically, The Postal Service will achieve an unprecedented success among youth of all generations. Photos courtesy of Warner Bros. tually agrees to t ake her on. Morgan Freeman plays Eddie, a f ormer fighter who lives in the g ym and works as t he custodian, and n arrates the story. The screenplay was w ritten by Paul Haggis, who adapted the story f rom "Rope B urns: Stories From the Corner." The overall look of the film is very dark with many night scenes and characters filmed in t he shadows. Eastwood's camera and lighting techniques create a very distinctive mood that makes t he dialogue even more dramatic. Much of the story takes place in a gritty, dilapidated old g ym that looks like it belongs in a third-world and he has nailed the perfect formula of casting, cinematography and performance. It will not b e a surprise to anyone when he picks u p the award for best director and Swank captures best actress. "Million Dollar B aby" is probably the best film o f2004, but it remains to b e seen if it will actually b e honored with that title. country rather t han in Los Angeles.

You no longer need a resume, acting classes, or even a temporary job working as a waiter in a chic Holly wood diner to make it in show biz.

And so did I, the first 60 percent of it; snuck in like this man already had the job and I was already in his class and already afraid he'd be one of those 'on time or not at all' teachers. What he dropped, what I caught, what we might have shared had you been one of the hot chicks present (I could count them on one hand.. .not including the thumb) but you weren't; it was mostly faculty, and middle aged people, and middle aged people who weren't faculty, listening as he jerked his head up for second fractions, attempting eye contact but looking more like someone afraid of a yawn or rubber band preparing his assassination in the back row. Though variety was apparently present on the whole, in my 40 percent the work was, in a word, water collar: unpretentiously pretty presentation of real (existential) life questions—the other merging of white and blue being vapor collar, which uses poetry more to spit on rather than lick up the illiterate people who don't show up to these things.

With over ten forested hiking trails, camping, fishing, and the nearby observatory, Palomar Mountain State Park may be the granddaddy of outdoor If your time at GSU Stair Master has resulted in buns of steel and lungs to match, then consider challenging your sweetheart with a hike at Escondido's Daley Ranch.

If your sweetheart is an early bird who enjoys a quiet morning of bass fishing, or you've always wanted that romantic experience involving a row boat and a book of sonnets, then Dixon Lake is the place for you. Picnic shelters, boat rentals, and camp sites will let you make a day, and a night, of it at this picturesque recreation area in Escondido. To reach Dixon Lake, take Hwy. 78 east to Interstate 15 north, exit El Norte Parkway heading east four miles to La Honda and follow the signs. recreation in North County. Trails, range from a half mile to over ten, and from easy to difficult, so take your Valentine for a day off the beaten path. If indoor activities are more to your liking, the Palomar Observatory offers a chance to glimpse the fascinating world of astronomy. There's a small grocery and restaurant on the mountain, so do yourself a favor by bringing your own romantic picnic lunch. To reach Palomar Mountain State Park, take Hwy. 78 east to Interstate 15 north, exit Hwy. 76 east to county road S6 north, then left on S7.

At almost 2,000 feet, this is the longest pier on the west coast, so if her Manolo's are putting on the squeeze, there's a shuttle that will take you the length of the pier for a mere 50 cents. If you've got a little extra cash, there are plenty of restaurants in the vicinity, but packing your own wine, cheese, and bread is decidedly more romantic. You'll pay if you want to park up close, but f ree lots are located j ust two blocks f rom the pier. To reach Oceanside pier, take Hwy. 78 west to Interstate 5 north, exit Mission Avenue heading west and follow the signs. If less concrete and more flora and fauna make your heart go pitter patter then you might head over to Carlsbad's Batiquitos Lagoon. Formed where fresh water and salt water meet and stirred up by wave and tidal action, coastal wetlands are a unique and dwindling resource for California wildlife, and the estuary at Batiquitos Lagoon is no exception. Batiquitos Lagoon provides habitat for 185 bird species, 65 fish species, and numerous native plants, so pack some sandwiches and a camera, tell your sweetheart to wear hiking boots, and see if you don't end up with a Kodak moment or two. To reach Batiquitos Lagoon, take Hwy. 78 west to Interstate 5 south, exit Poinsettia Lane heading east to Batiquitos Drive. Turn right on Gabbiano Lane to reach the Nature Center, otherwise Batiquitos Drive will take you past four other parking areas with trail access. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The act prohibited any openly gay or lesbian service members from being asked about their sexual relationships and marriages and also banned LGBT service members f rom telling others about their sexual orientation. The repeal reflects the federal government's intention to make sexual orientation less taboo in the military. The Senate's 65-30 vote on the policy was preceded by the House's vote of 250-175 on Dec. 16. Censure circulated through Capitol Hill as Republicans and Democrats debated the effectiveness of the policy and its constitutional alignment. Both California senators Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein voted in favor of the hailed as the most comprehensive electronic blackout in history, a plan Mr. Obama has not only not decried but has reserved for his own use in this country. As reports the UK's Daily Mail, "under proposed new laws, President Barack Obama would have the power to cut access to the Internet in the event of a cyber threat to national security." While the law is couched in language designed to instill a fear of "cyber terrorists" and other threats, it is important to know that both the Bush and Obama Departments of Homeland Security define a terrorist as anyone who, among other things, overtly appeals to the "constitution." Despite the governments attempt to stifle the uprising, Egypt is moving closer to democracy and the challenges that lie ahead are huge, while we in the west are bathed in the foundations of Rome and Jerusalem of which democracy is a large part. repeal. San Diego's congressional representatives Brian Bilbray (R50), Duncan Hunter (R-52), and Darrell Issa (R-49) voted against the repeal while representatives Susan Davis (D-53) and Bob Filner (D-51) voted in favor of it. The Don't Ask Don't Tell policy was met with slews of constitutional challenges and political warfare during its 17 year run.

Tadros reflects, "Egyptians might not know what democracy actually means, but that does not make the concept any less desirable. Perhaps it is precisely its vagueness and abstraction that makes the concept all the more desirable." Furthermore, a democracy is Egypt would no doubt attract fringe groups who will want to either disrupt or join the party. General Peters acknowledges that troubles when he wrote, "none of this is meant to pretend away the potential trouble Muslim fundamentalists might cause over time, whether it's the Muslim Brotherhood at the polls, or al Qaeda are ignoring the revolution to write stories about the boo-boo's they've received while covering the riots. In response to the American coverage of the events Tadros wrotes, "El Baradei is nothing.

Perhaps a slightly larger problem for Egypt is the weakspined support it's receiving from the American government and media who are reporting the story in terms of Muslim clerics praying in front of tanks. While there is definitely an extremist angle on the change of power in Egypt, the people are not chanting "death to Israel" or "death to America." They are simply demanding freedom. There was a time when Americans too took to the streets to protest tyrannical rule and rid themselves of oppression. There was a time when America just wanted to be free and average people took up their arms and started fires in government buildings. During this revolution Thomas Jefferson wrote, "The tree of liberty must be watered from time to time with the blood of the patriots." Despite the troubles that lie ahead for Egypt, they are watering their tree. Egypt, like a young American, just wants to be free.

He then took what is typically a Republican issue and made it his own when he asked for the divided Congress to reexamine the tax code. The ultimate objectives are to lower taxes, close loopholes, and create a fairer system for the American people. On the debt and deficit issue, he called for a reorganization of the executive branch, and major budget freezes for the next five years. The president concluded with our success in ending major troop deployments in Iraq, our continued commitment to Afghanistan, and with confidence that America's future will be brighter than its past. �FROM, ASK, T ELL, P . 1 Much recent attention to the policy was brought forth by California native and former First Lieutenant, Dan Choi, who was discharged f rom the military after coming out during an interview on The Rachel Maddow Show. Lt. Choi argued in an open letter to Congress and President Obama that the policy was unconstitutional and actually hindered military effectiveness, "My subordinates know I 'm gay. They don't care. They are professional." The policy was originally supported by the idea that the presence of openly homosexual members in the military would pose risks t o the order, morale, and cohesiveness in the military atmosphere. However, over 17 years, many like Lt. Choi have worked to discredit this idea and instead argue that forcing service members to lie about their identity created more of a hindrance on military effectiveness and morality while simultaneously perpetuating the same moral problem the policy was intended to diminish. However, the repeal of the D on't Ask, Don't Tell policy has not been made official. Though the repeal was passed in both the Senate and the House, and President Obama has signed it into law, the bill requires that the president, Defense Secretary and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff must each certify that the bill will not detract from military readiness. From there, the military has 60 days to officially implement the repeal. Local San Diego Representative Duncan Hunter has introduced the Restore Military Readiness Act which would require additional signatures for the repeal's implementation. This could potentially threaten the fate of the Don't Ask, D on't Tell repeal by slowing down its implementation and extending the status quo. While the congressional passage of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell repeal has slowly opened closet doors for many homosexual service members, it might still be a matter of time before they are able to take the first step out.

"Apparent" because, while The Koala has certainly engendered impassioned responses, the predominantly white males behind the publication have refused to discuss what it is they have wrought — or to identify themselves. At a recent recruitment meeting, they would not give their names and avoided being photographed; they moved the meeting to a private dorm room to exclude critics and news media; and they demanded 30-packs of beer f rom journalists who requested interviews, which, given their likely ages, smacks of soliciting criminal acts — and chal- lenges their legitimacy as a newspaper, as they describe The Koala. It is The Koala's content (downloadable at csusmkoala. com) that most effectively challenges the newspaper claim. Just about every demographic — except straight, white males — is addressed with violent, prurient and/or grotesque language: gays and lesbians, women, rape and pe dophilia victims, pediatric cancer and burn patients, African Americans, Latinos, Asians and Muslims. The Koala is a miasma of isms. Anecdotally, the "rea sonable person" test of The Koala's content suggests that many CSUSM students and staff indeed find much of the content obscene — obscene and hateful. But obscenity remains in the eye of the beholder, and in the United States we can speak moñAk no matter w hat you w ant, y ou c an make your mix with 14 daily flavors and 50+ toppings! visit us orí facebook and twitter! freely whether our speech is hateful, loving or indifferent. More interesting are the test results of The Koala's two advertisers, cougarbookrentals.com and Miramar Wellness Center — "interesting" because it takes fund- ing to publish any speech. The textbook-rental service is, according to bookrenter. com Vice President of Marketing Michael Geller (at 650288-3500), an independent bookstore using bookrenter. corn's open platform, an "entrepreneur" who can "choose to market it any way they want." Nonetheless, when read content from The Koala, Geller's response was, "Oh! Oh god! Okay, that's enough!" An articulate man — and pragmatic — he disavowed any responsibility for cougarbookrental's ad and declared that bookrenter.com "would never, ever, ever" advertise in The Koala. He also said, " I'm going to contact the owner of [csusmbookrentals.com] and first make sure he or she is aware of what this is all about."

Whether or not? Hmmm. The Miramar Wellness Center (at 858-689-9098), a' marijuana dispensary, had a slightly more definitive response. An employee who did not identify herself said the Wellness Center had received "a lot of upset calls, a whole lot" and that the manager would not take any more, but she added, "I heard [the ad] was a mistake and they are trying to get it removed." That's promising, but, in the meantime, what to do about the privileged young men who publish hate with anonymity? Read The Koala so you can make informed comments about it (available at csusmkoala. com). Although the thing is no joy, condemning something you haven't read is shallow commentary. And ignorance is not bliss. Contact The Koala's advertisers to reinforce the message that their ad dollars are supporting content that encourages pedophilia, racism, misogyny, rape and domestic violence. If a second issue comes out, contact any new advertisers. State your opinion of The Koala freely and frequently. The right to free speech goes both ways: They have the right to speak and you have the right to criticize what they say — maybe even the responsibility. Hate that goes unchallenged goes on and on and on . Find some peace in this thought: What goes on the Internet stays on the Internet, and one day in the next few years The Koala's publishers will be looking for jobs in competitive marketplaces where respect for diversity, social maturity and the ability to selfedit will be deciding factors for employment. These young men have already round-filed their job applications by exercising a most wonderful right irresponsibly.

Presenter Carl Wilkens pounded his fists on the wall to demonstrate how the killing squad came banging on his neighbors door. Wilkens's neighbor was one of more than 800,000 people who lost their lives in 1994 during the 100 day long genocide in Rwanda. "Every time a life is taken on this planet, it's like drop- ping a stone," Wilkens said, "and sometimes the little ripples are hardly noticed when they reach the shores of America, and sometimes they grow into something like a tsunami." Along with his wife, Teresa, and their three children, Wilkens moved to Kigali, Rwanda in 1990 as part of a humanitarian aid effort. When the killings began in April 1994, Teresa and the children left Kigali for safety, but Wilkens stayed behind as head of the Adventist Development and Relief Agency International. He was the only known American to remain in Rwanda during the genocide. Wilkens and his wife now dedicate their time to educating the public through their nonprofit organization, World Outside My Shoes. In order to bring an end to war and genocide, Wilkens believes we should stop thinking in terms of "us" versus "them," or "me" and the " other" He said as a global community, we need to shift to a "we" mentality. "That's where I think our hope lies," Wilkens said. "I think stories are so much more powerful than guns [because they] have the ability to connect us, to realize there's no us and them. There is simply us," he continued. He also stressed the importance of service as a way to change the way we think. Wilkens showcased photos of doctors, nurses, neighbors and children. First, was an elderly traditional healer Rwandan woman, Sula Karuhimbi, her face framed by a bright orange scarf. She had kind eyes. One member of the audience commented that she reminded him of Mother Teresa. Karuhimbi hid and protected 17 people on her own property during the genocide. Some considered her a "witch doctor," and Karuhimbi used that label to her advantage, telling the killing squads that evil spirits inhabited her house. "Labels are so convenient, but at times they are so deadly," Wilkens said. During his recent return to Rwanda, Wilkens visited the Kigali Memorial, and viewed the plaque honoring Karuhimbi. He continued, "How do you memorialize something as horrific as this?'' Wilkens spoke with much admiration and respect of Rwandan women, and of his own wife and daughters, telling heartwarming stories of generosity, courage, and resiliency, and heartwrenching stories of the devastating damage caused by mass rape of Rwandan women. Wilkens called the "sense of . stability," security, and purpose that women possess the "girl effect." Throughout the presentation, many audience members had tears in their eyes. When asked why he came to see Wilkens, sophomore Conner Brown said, "Because he went through such an incredible time in history." "Being able to hear Carl Wilkens speak is amazing," Political Science major Gabriella Pruitt added.

The sudden abundance of Hallmark sentiments and mass-market romance presents a misleading interpretation of the holiday: that everyone needs a Valentine or significant other in order to enjoy and appreciate this day for lovers. However, since its origination, celebrations and meanings behind Valentine's Day are constantly evolving. If you find yourself single this Valentine's Photo courtesy offlickr.com U ï VALENTINE'S DAY IS NOT JUST FOR COUPLES Day, maybe it's time to re-define the way you celebrate love. The modern observance of Valentine's Day, which often includes fancy restaurant dinners and heart-shaped jewelry, has changed drastically since its ancient origin. According to History .com, Valentine's Day began in Rome under dreary social conditions during the rule of Emperor Claudius II. Legend states that Claudius outlawed marriage in order to raise a powerful army of unattached young soldiers. In retaliation, a courageous priest named Valentine performed secret marriages for lovers. The month of February signaled a time for fertility and purification to the ancient Romans. In these times, women were the ob- ject of superstitious ceremonies rather than celebrated as romantic partners. The Roman men sacrificed goats, and boys roamed the streets slapping women with strips of hide in order to encourage fertility. In addition to the hide slapping, women put their names in a lottery to be paired with a man. Fortunately, secretive marriages, hide slapping and pairing lotteries no longer mark the celebration of Valentine's Day, and people are free to tailor their celebrations to match their individual views of the holiday. The predictable dinner and a movie, flowers, candy and gift exchanges present couples with some ideas for Valentine's Day, but what about those currently out of a relationship? For singles, the absence of a romantic valentine may contribute to a day filled with pessimistic cynicism. However, there are many possibilities for an enjoyable day if singles change their perspective. Generosity, kindness and loVe can be openly and vastly expressed to friends and family. If Facebqok love quizzes and Cupid's arrow can't generate romance, get creative! Activities to inspire love and show care on Valentine's Day include time spent making homemade cards for family and friends, leaving encouraging post-it notes for roommates, volunteering time and making a donation to charity. Cards, whether homemade or store-bought, don't have to be traditionally romantic, but thoughtful messages to loved ones. Photo courtesy ofAlexis Pollard The University Village Apartments offers other ways to give gifts. "We have candy grams and Valentine's for Veterans to honor and support U.S. military members and veterans," UVA staff member Bbwie Tintle said. Whether the gifts or thoughts of Valentine's Day cause excitement, dread or indifference, expression of love doesn't have to be thrown in a negative light by those who scorn the holiday. As Ashton Kutcher said in the film "Valentine's Day," "Love is the only shocking act left on the planet." So celebrate all forms of love this Valentine's Day and enjoy the company of those you hold dear. �grptríh's csusm TERm HiTÍ MICHAEL RAWSON SPORTS EDITOR SOFTBALL UPDATE Brenna Sandberg took the Lady Cougars on her back, carrying the softball team to four wins and a first place finish in the Best of the West Tournament at Pedretti Park in Turlock, C A, Feb. 5 -6.

Campfield Brings Home the Gold Medal Mile f or CSUSM WEEKEND RESULTS BASEBALL correr: a look c r p t r ì f i s previeui MICHAEL RAWSON SPORTS EDITOR As the spring season opens, a f ew Cal State San Marcos athletes are putting in a bit of extra time behind the desk. This year, the captains of each squad have been asked to write a preview of their season's schedule, looking forward to upcoming events and key players. These previews have been aptly titled "Captain's Corner," and are available on the Cougar athletics website, csusmcougars.com. According to Sports Information Director Kyle Trembley, the brains behind the project belong to m en's track and field captain Brett Campfield. The track star, a junior transfer f rom Princeton, approached the athletic department over the winter break with the idea that since captains were designated by their respective teams as representatives, they should to be the ones telling their fans what to expect. Campfield shows off his Ivy írsíce spams the ssasan lcckí an uieí League mind in his entry, explaining the importance of teamwork in an individual sport like track and field.

Cole, a junior, shared some particularly insightful information about the time athletes spend in preparation. "Every Friday, we all attend a yoga class at 6:30 a.m. daily, running drills and playing as many holes as possible until class begins around 10 a.m. Sophomore Loran shared his hopes f or the senior-less m en's golf team. "Comprised of eight men, we rely on team unity and consistency to make it to the top," he said. Sandoval had quite a bit more to cover, due to the massive size ÌÌTi of the women's track team. There are currently 54 athletes on the official roster. The junior f rom Oceanside offered plenty of inside information on the squad's organization, and explained to fans unfamiliar to the sport what some events are comprised o f. For example, "Coach Scott is also composing a relay team that will either run the 4x800 meters or the distance medley relay in which every person runs a different distance, beginning with 1200 meters, then 400 meters, 800 meters, and the last leg runs 1600 meters," she said. A f ew weeks into the season, the baseball and softball teams are currently unrepresented in the Captain's Corner. Still, Campfield and the athletic department have received positive feedback f rom the project, and they are hopeful to feature previews f rom the two remaining captains, Trembley said. For now, the four "Corners" make up a group of fascinating essays that are worth a read, written by CSUSM athletes who are anything but square.

A great example is Fox's preview of the animated bird movie "Rio," which featured a hidden clue used to unlock a mystery level in the popular smart phone application Angry Birds. Once unlocked, those who found the code earn a chance to win a vacation to Rio de Janeiro. Get that? While the interactivity and colorful animation benchmarked a new era in interactivity, the commercial just wasn't funny. Special effects also played a key role. Big players like Coke spent millions on a commercial aimed at gamers, comprised entirely of computer animation. Companies like Brisk and Chatter.com also focused on animated themes with commercials starring celebrity voices and likenesses like the Black Eyed Peas and Eminem. Hollywood continued the trend with hi-tech superpreviews for the season's upcoming sci-fi/action films. Movies l ike. Steven Spielberg's "Super 8," the western-hybrid "Cowboys and Aliens," and the comic aas an book manifestations "Thor" and "Captain America" each presented a visually stunning demonstration of their product. This might have been a good idea if we all had movie-theater televisions, but we don't. Everyone can enjoy a good joke but these commercials just weren't funny. It wasn't like humor wasn't in the cards. To the contrary, some commercials tried to be funny but the punch lines never hit. A few standouts did prove to be crowd pleasers and while they represented only a minority of total advertisements, they deserve some recognition. Bud Light's first commercial called "The Hacks," for example, was by far their funniest. The commercial mocks a before-and-after home renovation scenario where the only renovation in the "after" shot was a bucket of Bud Lights on the countertop. The line, "it really opens up the place" got a laugh out of the whole room. Doritos launched a commercial called "Funeral Guy" where a house-sitter successfully saves a dead fish when he sprinkles Dorito crumbs into the fishbowl. He saves a dead plant the same way. By commercial's end, an urn is over-turned and the rest is obvious. Finally, Bridgestone gar- « m ¡ ¡SH nered a chuckle with their ad, "Carma" which featured a man, and beaver, and great traction.

We may never see the funny commercials that we once expected from the Super Bowl. Instead, we may be wise to expect more special effects, technology, and interactivity that begs the need for a bigger television and a better phone. Photo courtesy of usahotworld.com vansuaKO If za.

However, at the onset of an unexpected tropical storm, the team, led by Frank (Richard Roxburgh), is trapped underground and forced to dive deeper into the unexplored terrain in a desperate search for escape. Executively produced by James Cameron, "Sanctum" is a 3D underwater thriller that attempts to push the boundaries of 3D moviemaking and visual stimu- lation: a worthy goal had "Avatar" never been made. Though visually impressive, this film's use of 3D effects is pointless, and it can likely be an effort to acquire more revenue, as the film requires moviegoers to spend $3 more per ticket. Making the movie 3D is a questionable attempt by the filmmakers to boast a more impressive opening weekend profit. With the acting performances being mediocre at best and a poor story development, "Sanctum" relies on intense, overdramatized action scenes to sustain a mild sense of interest. The audience feels as though they are holding their breath along with the divers, awaiting the next possible chance for a gasp of fresh air. This intensity is the only attention keeper for the movie's 103 minute runtime, as the first 30 minutes are especially sluggish. Though semi-entertaining, "Sanctum" is a dismal follow-up for Cameron's groundbreaking movie "Avatar," and it seems as though having Cameron's name on the poster is the one and only selling point.

AMY SALISBURY EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Breaking up is hard to do, especially around Valentine's Day. But usually, it's for the best, right? The signs of a relationship's demise are rather apparent. Most notably, potential break ups are preceded by the couple not really doing anything together anymore. This presents an awkward situation for everyone. People start asking questions, then the news breaks: the White Stripes, drummer Meg White and guitarist Jack White, officially break up. During the middle of last week, the news traveled faster than a 15-year-old on Facebook, as the blog posts poured in. In a symbolic death march, articles popped up chronicling the best of the Stripes' coupling and revealing that the brother-sister act was actually an amicable solution to the end of a four-year marriage (although that wasn't much of a secret to begin with). The White Stripes are best described—or, were best described, rather—as a raw, minimalist, a esthetically conscious duo. With hits like "Fell in Love with a Girl," "Seven Nation Army" and "Blue O r c h i d ," the White Stripes gained a solid following over their 14-year existence, Their* last album, "Icky Thump," was released in 2007. In 2009, Jack White joined and helped found The Dead Weather, a "compilation band" of sorts, with Allison Mosshart of Discount and The Kills, Jack Lawrence of The Greenhornes and The Raconteurs, and Dean Fertita of Queens of the Stone Age. So it's pretty easy to see where Jack White's energy will go post-Stripes, especially since The Dead Weather performed at Coachella last year. I should probably mention that Jack White is also in The Raconteurs with Fertita, starred in "rockumentary" "It Might Get Loud" in 2008 with members from U2 and Led Zeppelin and he has his own record label, Third Man. Feel free to call him busy. Meg White is another story. According to the White Stripes' still active website, her acute anxiety often changed the band's plans. In 2007, the band's fall U.S. tour was cancelled due to "health issues ," citing that White was unable to travel. After that, the band chose to cancel all 2007 tour dates post-September including a scheduled tour of the U.K. She remarried in 2009—in Jack White's backyard, no less. There has not been much news regarding Meg White's musical present or future, but in mid-2010, Jack White reported to the Times of London that he suspected Meg White's anxiety no longer existed. Although the Stripes are no longer together, their musical contributions fail to present signs of dissolution. Their run as a band was significant enough for other artists to cover the most classic of Stripes songs. Of course, break ups are never exactly f un. Fans of the band, however, may relish in their latest release, "Under the Great White Northern Lights," a documentary and live album of the band's last ever tour.

XXIII N O. 3 place o n athletic fee increase to CSUSM BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer Students are due to vote on the proposed athletics fee increase that could potentially decide the f uture of some sports at Cal State San Marcos. According to the Cal State San Marcos athletics website, the proposal would increase the current athletics f ee each semester for three years. A majority in the upcoming vote, which takes place between Feb. 16 and 25, would increase the fees by $20 a semester for three years, starting f rom the next academic year. Students currently pay $80 a year but this would increase $120 a year for the f irst year. T he fees would be $160 for the second year and the increases would stop at $200 for the year at the end of the third academic year. This would allow men's and women's basketball teams to b e set up as well as women's volleyball and dance/cheer. Introduction of these sports would also gain membership to the National Collegiate Athletic Association division two (NCAA). This university is currently in the National Associations of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). This independent association has no conference a ffiliation, making scheduling of matches and competitions d ifficult and o ffers no reimbursement for post-season play. Cal State San Marcos athletics director Tom Seitz feels it is important for the f uture of sports at this university to gain acceptance into the NCAA. Seitz said, "Where the athletics program is right now in the NAIA, there is no f uture there. We need to go to the NCAA. CSUSM is the largest and one of the only schools in the c ountry that does not have men and women's basketball. "The only way we can become a member is to add these sports. Without t his increase it may negatively a ffect the sports we have right now."

The Academy did a fine job picking the films this year. I think the usual five left out too many films that deserved praise. The ten picks this year are a cross section of some great films from several genres. First, I was most pleased with the nomination of Disney/Pixar's "Up." Despite the franchise's strong history of films, this is only the second animated film ever to be nominated for Best Picture. And it deserved it. It was one of my favorite films of the last decade and is an instant classic. Though I do not think it will upset "Avatar" or "The Hurt Locker," I was pleased the Academy broke the barrier for animated films. I was also happy about the diversity of the films, spanning from the highest grossing movie of all time, to some equally enjoyable independent films.

Thea Mckenzie, junior, is not as affected by the furloughs as others. "All my teachers just have not given out a lot of homework. They take many days off [and] I'm paying more for less education. I'm getting finanJ uan C amacho cial aid so it doesn't affect me to the point where I'm starving, but it's affecting my education because I'm not getting as much as what I should be." Psychology major Katie Bernard attributed her furlough luck to her status as a senior. "Since I'm a senior, the faculty furloughs haven't affected me ail that much, but one way they have is kind of motivated me to get out of here and try and graduate sooner instead of hanging around, knowing that you're paying more ¿id ^ P W you're not getting as much as what you're paying for." Juan Camacho said that he learns less in his Accounting classes due to faculty furloughs. "The furloughs and the budget cuts have really affected me, pretty much [financially] with the [fees] going up and classes being cut off. We learn less and they don't offer as much, not only during the regular semester but the same with summer and winter classes." Being an open university student is particularly difficult with furloughs, according to Communications major Brett Shiffler. "Since I'm taking open university, I've been trying to crash all my classes, so even if the classes are still open the teachers are more reluctant to take kids because of the furloughs and extra students. I don't know if that's what the union [has] been saying or if that's the deal, but it's just been hard to even crash any classes.

If the bright letters and jovial face& of those in these organizations d oipialready have you curious, maybf moils information will, or at least caul® you t o have more appreciation for these organizations. Greek life has a stereotype, mostly extracted from media influences, which the presidents of these organizations are greatly trying to overcome. The president of Alpha Chi Omega, Karissa Joiner, said, "Leave all judgments and previous ideas of these organizations at the door, because if you don't, you might be missing out on a wonderful experience," an experience that includes discovering and respecting yourself, others, and your school. CSUSM recognizes three sororities, Alpha Pi Sigma, Alpha Xi Delta, Alpha Chi Omega, and two f raternities, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Zeta Beta Tau. Alpha Pi Sigma is a Latino based sorority that strives to promote unity, and cultural awareness. One of Zeta Beta Tau's leading principles on their website is integrity, which they outline as "maintaining honesty, exhibiting loyalty, and retaining a sense of self discipline." According to Zac Fullmer, ZBT President, "within two short years, ZBT at Cal-State has grown from 14 guys in a dorm room to 43 strong men. Along that journey we have won; Best New Student Org, All Greek Academic Cup, Three time intramural Football Championships, and made thousands of quality relationships with campus students and faculty." Alpha Xi Delta is a sisterhood that lives by the motto "realize your potential." They want each sister to reach Photo by Ben Roffee their highest potential both as a student, and as a member of society. The sisters strive to achieve this goal by attaining accomplishments such as 3,500 hours of community service, and also by raising f unds to contribute to Autism Speaks. These fraternities and sororities pride themselves on dedicating time to philanthropic e fforts. Alpha Chi Omega raised $4,000 last year from their fundraiser, Mr. Alpha Chi, to contribute to Women's Resource Center in Oceanside. They currently work there with women and children who are victims of domestic violence, because they are a sisterhood devoted to establishing strong women within the community. They are looking for new members that will strengthen their presence on campus. The president, Joiner, believes this will "...create a better representation of our Greek life on campus for the city of San Marcos. That way, we can be more positively involved in our community." i Last year, Sigma Alpha Epsilon started the "Rebuild Louisiana" trip, which included 17 individuals. This year they want to broaden the scope of involvement by including Greeks from other, organization. This f raternity exudes tremendous school pride through their cheer group, "The Blue Crew," attending games, which encourages other students to support their student body. When asked about the advantages of being a member, President Travis Wilson said, "Brotherhood. When you have a group of guys, just working together to make each other better, right there, you j ust have success " Not only are these organizations altruistic towards their school, and community, but they also built life long bonds, and have f un along the way. A student can see the perks f rom getting a positive and valuable experience from school. The individuals in these fraternities, and sororities see these organizations as a vehicle to achieve such an experience, not only in school, but also throughout life. If this new information has intrigued you into exploring one of these organizations, seek more knowledge from their websites or from the upcoming Greek Fair on Feb. 11 during U-hour at the University Plaza. �Features T HE P R I D E Tuesday Feburary 09, 2010 5 It's o netbook!

To park or not to park? Situation has yet to improve BY KATRINA KISTLER Pride Staff Writer Originally, there were three main lots students used: Parking Lot C (ACD lot), Parking Lot E (MARK lot), and Parking Lot N (SCI lot). In Aug. 2008, lot N closed down in preparation for the construction of a new parking structure, which is due to finish in July 2010. With the closure of lot N, students then used the other two main parking lots. This created an immense amount of overcrowding and traffic surrounding lots C and E. Parking and traffic have now become a serious issue on campus that many students deal with on a daily basis. Numerous students drive to campus in order to attend classes at CSUSM, which makes parking a vital aspect to many students' educations. With the increasing student population, traffic around campus is a factor students must consider in order ASK to get to classes on time. Understanding where students drive from and where they park ultimately determines when students arrive. Each student has a method that guarantees a parking spot, getting to campus, and getting to classes on time. Learning and understanding these methods proves to be an important aspect to many students, but there are still many issues. "I live in Temecula and I have to leave my house an hour before I have class," said Justin Prewitt, a student here on campus. "Depending on the time of day, if I leave any earlier or later I can be late for classes. There is one main road students use to get into campus and it causes a lot of traffic. I usually park in the MARK parking lot towards the back, which affects what time I get to class as well." Another student, Billy Barron, said, "I live five minutes away from campus and I leave twenty minutes before my class, if I a concern that will not go away and may even become worse. Another student, Bryan Alt, expressed his opinion about parking on campus. "The traffic around here is ridiculous. Traffic on campus is a frustrating thing most of the time. I wish there was a better planned parking design for CSUSM." With the completion of the parking structure, due to finish in Aug. 2010, most students only hope it will alleviate the parking issues on campus. ^miiii IfVelcòme your new residenflg ev Russo!

Both of these students have methods that allow them to get to classes on time, but leaving any later can make each student late for class.

The game started at 6:28 P.M. (ET) with the Saints receiving the ball f irst. The Saints started slowly with three plays and then a punt. The Colts struck first with a field goal by Matt Stover, the oldest player ever to play in a Super Bowl Championship game, making the score 3-0 Colts. Later in the f irst quarter, quarterback Peyton Man- ning connected with tight end Pierre Garçon for a 19-yard touchdown pass, which made the score 10-0 Co Its. In second Quarter, the Saints began to show some life as Garrett Hartley kicked a 46-yard field goal to make the score 10-3 Colts. Ending the second quarter, Hartley kicked a 47-yard field goal making the score 10-6 Colts. At the Sun Life Stadium "The Who" was main act with a spectacular light show and half-time performance. Some of the classic songs "The Who" performed were "Teenage Wasteland" and "Who are you?" After a much-needed break, the third quarter kicked off as a shock to all spectators. For the f irst time in Super Bowl history, the Saints kicked an on-side kick and recovered the football.

After the idea caught on, it seemed like the same 10 to 12 songs kept appearing on mix tapes, especially ones tailored and intended for the most mix tape-worthy holiday of all, Valentine's Day. Now that iTunes makes mixing and burning CDs so easy, none of you guys have any excuse to hold out on making your girlfriends a mix CD. But all of these mix tape standbys have modern counterparts that need a little mix tape love too. Image courtesy of Lisa Hannigan Take for example Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes." I'm just as in love with Lloyd Dobler as any other chick this side of 1983, but this ditty is overplayed. An equally emotive update exists in "Eyes" by Rogue Wave. The idea is the same, but the sound is far more listenerfriendly. Everyone knows "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure. Don't let the rough, streets-of-London exterior that Unkle puts on put you off. "Heaven" is a mellower, slightly industrial track that could easily slide in among other mix tape classics.

Rather than being placed on a noweb/statuecerdits.htm the University Police report BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN Pride Staff Writer University Police prepare for the spring semester, highlighting crime alerts, offering students sound-advice and welcoming three new members to the department. "The area, not only the campus, is growing," said Chief of Police, Aaron Woodward about the concerns of a growing campus in relation to the growth of the department. "Our concern is that we are allotted 15 officers; base staffing is only what is budgeted. We would like to get ahead of the game, in terms of staffing." Over the holiday break, the Police made four arrests; two alcohol related incidents, one drug possession and one drug possession with the intent to sell. A male was arrested after driving past campus on Twin Oaks Valley Road, where he made an illegal u-turn, on Friday, Dec. 30. The simple traffic violation led to the discovery that the driver had over one and half grams of methamphetamine in his possession. The driver was arrested and taken to jail. Two days later, on the first of the year, a male was taken to jail for being drunk in public. Another alcohol related incident occurred on Jan. 8, when a UVA resident notified the Police Department that her inebriated boyfriend was attempting to drive off, despite her pleas. There are also allegations that the boyfriend damaged UVA property when throwing a rock at a window, but Police are still investigating this case. University Police also arrested a known San Marcos gang member on charges of drug possession with intent to sell. During a routine equipment violation stop, an Officer noticed that a passenger in the backseat of the vehicle had marijuana. After further investigation, the police were able to find evidence suggesting that the male had intentions on selling the ounce and a half of marijuana. The affiliated gang member, a parolee, was arrested and booked in jail. The driver was cited for an equipment violation and driving without a license. In addition to the Police Department's focus on crime activity, the department also promotes community involvement and education. In December, the department participated in the Teddy Bear Drive for the young patients at Children's Hospital.

The 50th Congressional District seat was vacated on December 1, 2005 after Cunningham pleaded guilty to accepting more than $2 million in bribes in a criminal conspiracy.

"It must be everyone working on their New Year's Resolutions. However, it typically slows down as the semester continues with students becoming more involved in classes and assignments."

SIMON Pride Staff Writer It was December of '03 when an old friend of mine began giving updates on a new friend of his, each one giving little opportunity to do more than gape and quietly send out a little anonymous hope. When, a few weeks ago, he handed over his T-mobile Sidekick, "here, Ivy speaks French too," I was more than a little pressed for the right vocabulary. That any student here could have passed her in the hall stirs an amazing interaction between curiosity and compassion. There's nothing sensational or exclusive about being able to email Ivy an interview, save that she is that much closer to recovery and that much more able to show us a person who refuses to be lost. So, I think the first thing we better start out with is the website you mentioned, not just the address, but who set it up, who maintains it, etc. www.thebookofivy.com was set up by my dad. He does all the work for it, he set it up, and he keeps it going. The web space was given to him by The Reef. I'm not sure what The Reef is, I just know it is a website. My website has a link to my benevolent fund, which is used to help pay for all my horrible medical expenses. Could you describe your high school experience for us in some detail?

Markstein Hall will be the new address for many departments, including History, Literature "cool" in front of their other loser friends to give anyone who was a little different a chance. I was a good student who had a 4.0 through my entire senior year when most students were slacking off. I had a very small group of close friends and then a bunch of little wannabes who idolized my best friend (Chase) and I. I think a lot of students felt a little threatened by me because I am a lot smarter than them and I was never afraid to speak my mind, stand up for the underdog and tell people when they were stupid. What was the state of your college plans when you graduated? My dream was always to go to Berkeley. Unfortunately, my father was out of work and we couldn't afford it. My plan was to do my general education at a less expensive school and then transfer to Berkeley for my major. I was planning on majoring in either music, photography, or French. Did any classes, high school or otherwise, give you any insight into either side of the experience? None at all.

I remember I was driving between 70-75 MPH in the fast lane. Some jerk wanted to go faster, so he cut me off. I swerved to miss him and lost control. I went over a cliff and was thrown 150 feet. I landed face down in a bush, which crushed my chest. All ribs were broken in multiple places. I broke my sternum which ruptured my spleen, lacerated my liver, and bruised my heart. My lungs had collapsed and werefillingwith fluid. The paramedics had to place an emergency chest tube in the field (which is almost never done). I was flown to the hospital with less than 1% chance of survival. You will have to be more specific about what you want to know concerning my hospital stay. It was almost 2 years, after all. Is there anything in particular you feel you might have 'missed out' on? I missed out on a lot. I didn't get to see my brother graduate because I was too sick. I spent both my 20th and 21st birthdays in the hospital and with sepsis. AFI (my favorite band of all time) called me on my birthday, but I was too sick to talk to them. I missed out on 2 years of my kitty's life, which may not seem to be that big of a deal, but she is like my child. I missed out on concerts I wanted to go to, the opportunity to sing with AFI, and social events with friends. Absolutely. People " don't know how to act in these sort of situations.

However, I do wonder There are two misconceptions about a couple of things. about the game that need to be cleared I want to know why there was never up. First of all USC did the right thing by going for it on fourth-and-twenty two. They were trying to put the game out of reach. They also used a play that had been effective not just the entire night, but a play that had been effective for three years. They rushed LenDale White up the gut. White didn't get the two yards and he is the best power back in college football so I really doubt anyone else could have. Hindsight being 20/20 USC could have considered an alternate play such as the one that USC used against Notre Dame on fourth-, and-six where Leinart baited the rush and found Dwayne Jarrett in one-onone coverage down the sideline. Secondly, this was not the best college football game of all time. That's all I have been hearing about for two weeks now. It was an awesome game, maybe top 10 of all time but certainly not the best. Yes, this game did have two Heisman winners, two undefeated teams, and a bunch of future NFL players, but the 2003 national championship between Miami and Ohio St also had a ton of future NFL players like Craig Krenzel, Willis McGahee, Ken Dorsey, Chris Gamble, and Drew Carter. The 2003 game also went into several overtimes and included an even bigger upset than the Texas game because everyone thought Ohio St. would not be able to score possession for possession with Miami. Now that USC is no longer a guarantee hopefully the sun doesn't let me down. CSU system prohibits alcohol at sporting events BY ERIN YOUNG Pride Staff Writer A new order w as issued on Dec. 23, 2005 "prohibiting all 23 CSU campuses f rom engaging in any sale of alcoholic beverages at any intercollegiate athletic events held in university owned or operated facilities." According to the alcohol policy released by the o ffice of the Chancellor Public A ffairs " this policy will also limit the alcohol advertising of beer and wine at all campuses." "The CSU believes that service of alcoholic beverages at intercollegiate athletic events in university owned or operated facilities is contrary to its systemwide alcohol policy and to its purpose of promoting a safe and healthy learning environment for all members of the university community," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. With the new alcohol policy in f ull a ffect it u nfortunately c onflicts with p reexisting contracts that include t he sale of alcohol at athletic events including football and basketball games. Although these policies w ill remain established u ntil there contracts expire they will have strict limitations and most likely not renewed. "I believe this policy is the logical and appropriate next step for the CSU to take," said John D. Welty, President of California State University, Fresno and chair of the CSU Alcohol Policies and Prevention Programs Committee. "The CSU system believes that students under the influence of alcohol cannot perform at their f ull potential," states the alcohol policy release. The pressure of alcohol abuse in any form contradicts the positive contribution to the learning environment and public image that the CSU system is striving to accomplish.

Well find out here: A survey of the student body was conducted in November of2005. The survey addressed the attitudes of CSUSM students concerning the current food choices being offered on campus including its quality and price. In addition, information was gathered on what substitute food choices they might prefer over the current offerings. The information obtained from the survey indicated that most students are dissatisfied with the food options on campus. The primary reason behind the dissatisfaction is the price; most expressed that the prices charged are too high and the available options too limited. Over half (64 percent) of the respondents indicated they felt the value of food was only fair or poor. When questioned about eating on campus 21.9 per- cent of respondents indicated they brought food to campus from home while another 8.8 percent actually went home to eat. Another segment chose not to eat campus food but purchased food off-site and ate off-site (18.4 percent) or purchased off-site and returned to campus (7 percent). Despite the apparent dissatisfaction with food options available on campus 27.2 percent of respondents indicated that they do purchase food on campus. When questioned about the categories of food purchased most often on campus the majority of respondents indicated that they purchase beverages. The next most frequently purchased food types were sandwiches and pizza. On overwhelming majority of the respondents indicated, they were aware of food options at "The Dome", "Campus Coffee", "Starbucks" and the various vending machines. However, not many were aware that food is available at the "Cougar Den". Students named 23 unique food vendors they would like to see on campus, all but one being "fast-food". Given the option of having new food choices on campus students were three times more likely to suggest a burger type eatery (Wendy's, Carl's Jr., etc), a deli style eatery (Subway, Quizno's, etc.), or a Mexican style eatery (Mr. Taco, Del Taco, etc.) vs. pizza, chicken specific, or oriental type eateries. Slightly less than 10 percent of respondents indicated they would like to see a pub style eatery (with beer) on campus. What does all this mean? For you, the student, it means if you want to see some changes you (we) need to unite our voices, start a letter writing campaign, let our dissatisfaction be heard by the administration! The survey was conducted by Marketing 442 students, Debra Doerfler, Albert Orozco, Matt Leventhal and Nick Villarino, as part of a class project. Debra Doerfler We have set some hefty goals for ourselves here at The Pride. We have pulled together an eclectic team of writers and editors who have brought you, the Cougars of Cal State San Marcos, a pretty darn good newspaper. Now, we want to go beyond last semester and bring forth a paper worthy of the city of San Marcos. I do hope that you, the readers, will continue to email us at The Pride (pride@csusm.edu) with how you feel we are doing. First, I will give you a n update on our staff. The four main editors are returning. Zachary, Christine, and Erin will continue to bring the articles in. The Ombudsman from last semester really kept us in check, so I promoted him to Managing Editor. Let us know if he does a good job. If you emailed him last semester, please continue to do so. Our layout and design will be our biggest change. Jason Encabo, who should never be forgotten when talking about editors, has moved to the position of business manager. So, you will probably be seeing a new look for The Pride in the coming weeks as the new layout person, Jason Saumur, will be taking the helm. We have a new staff of writers starting this week. The first class is tonight at 5 p.m. and we should see some new names in the paper in the coming weeks. Last semester, we saw the birth of some reoccurring themes and columnists. Robbins Report brought some controversy and Cash Corner had some good advice. We hope to continue these columns this semester with a long time favorite Jock Talk with Josh. We are still looking for more. Believe it or not, good writers are not easy to find. So, we are looking for a few good writers who are interested in beats. A beat is a journalism term that refers to writing for a specific area. For instance, we are interested in a business beat, something that might coincide with Cash Corner, a medical beat, and a political beat. Plus, we could always use a good movie critic. The journalism class will help students write in all sections of a newspaper, like News and Features. So if you are interested in newspapers, I highly recommend it. One of my favorite sections in our newspaper is the opinion section. Students can put down on paper their frustrations and concerns about a multitude of subjects. Politics, food on campus, and even The Pride are all topics that can be covered by you, the student. Please air your frustrations with us, just have you facts straight. Patrick B.

Mommy, I don't want to be a defeatist. Given the opportunity, our President might have labeled me a defeatist last year.

Ok, so we all get a little jealous sometime. Big deal, it's only natural. But how far is too far? I want to clear the smoke about jealousy. It's highly normal - the fear of losing the one person you love most is an overwhelming emotion. But when your emotions are centered around reading your partner's mind and if you can't read their mind you take it upon yourself to look through their cell phone (outgoing, incoming calls and text messages) it's gone abnormally too far. When you suffer from jealously you're letting your emotions and insecurities get the best of you, it can change who you are as a human being. You become aggressive, excluded and honestly crazy. A common misconception about unhealthy jealousy is the belief that it measures your partner's interest and love in the relationship, when in fact it is only the measurement of the insecurity level. Thefirststeps to cure your jealous ways are to: recognize and admit it. As long as you know you have a problem you can work on it . Take your insecurities and 'squash' them. Be comfortable in your own skin and most of all: be confident. Yes, easier said then done, but find that inner fire that drives you to be who you are, no one or any amount of jealousy can take that away from you. Get to the core of your jealousy - are you scared that your partner is going to cheat? A word of advice, if someone is low enough to cheat on their supposed loved one there is nothing you can do to prevent it, you might be able to delay it with words and actions but sooner or later it's bound to happen, and wouldn't you rather have it be sooner than later so you stop wasting your time? According to webmd.com "to overcome or at least dilute jeal- ously you most know your own strengths, what do you specifically bring to the table?" Everyone is exceptional in their own way so what's different about you? Also, "don't compare yourself to anyone else because you're only sabotaging your own uniqueness." "It's important to remember that jealousy has a purpose, all emotions try to tell us something about ourselves, jealousy is a fear of losing power." Jealousy is compulsive, snooping and violating another's privacy is only going to harm your relationship and torture you with unanswerable questions? The best way to 'squash' jealousy is dealing with it directly, before it causes your relationship to self destruct.

Assistant Chief Woodard assumes interim role until replacement is hired Group projects are only as good as the person doing all the work. PowerPoint presentations alone do not substitute for real teaching. BY MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Staff Writer In a move that surprised some, University Police Chief Tom Schultheis retired on December 30 ending his successful yet recently controversial reign as the top cop on campus. Assistant Chief Aaron Woodard was named interim chief until a replacement for Schultheis is hired in the spring. Schultheis had been with the now 15 officer department since 1998 and has overseen its operations during a time of substantial growth for the university. Schultheis was unavailable for comment at press time. Despite his accomplishments as chief, Schultheis leaves a legacy that was marred by the recent Always display your parking permit. Sit next to the most attractive person in class, he or she might be single. Question bureaucracy. Former CSUSM Police Chief Tom Schultheis allegations of racial profiling by his department prompted by the arrest of student Jason Williams last semester on October 20. While those allegations have yet to be substantiated, the department responded with a series of forums at the end of last semester that outlined the practices of the officers. Interim Chief Woodard plans to continue reaching out to the campus community with a series of initiatives designed to keep the policing process in the forefront "People don't know about our department," said Woodard.

I eventually figured out how to tell one non-descript, beige hallway from the others, and eventually you will too. In the meantime, here are a few pointers to help smooth your transition to CSUSM. First, don't try to crash any classes. There are way more stu- dents than classes, and too many honestly.

Among the programs Woodard hopes will accomplish a better understanding of the role of the police officer on a college campus is Student Community Oriented Policing Effort (SCOPE). The SCOPE program will give insight to the students and the community into policing so as to dispel the "us vs. them" perception often associated with law enforcement. Other community based programs include bicycle licensing and Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) courses held periodically throughout the semester. CSUSM Interim Police Chief Aaron Woodard Beginning today January 18 and running through March 31, the Kellogg Library will be showcasing an installation entitled, "Commodore Perry and the Westernization of Japan." The exhibit features photographs and cartoons documenting foreign settlers in Yokohama, Japan during the 1860s. Mounted on beige partitions, works from famous photographer Felix Beato and cartoonist/journalist Charles Wirgman illustrate the wide disparity S J JDUSËJ^«^ EB mm'm~w"mw between old traditions and newly adopted western practices. On February 10 at 5 p.m. the library will host an opening reception for the installation. "Commodore Perry and the Westernization of Japan" is part of the "Context" library series.

My anxiety was at an all time high. The dental assistant came to take my X-rays and she must've sensed my apprehension because she kept asking me if I was o.k. I wasn't, but what can you say with those weird paper things in your mouth and a five pound lead bib across your chest. A half an hour later, the doctor came in. To my chagrin, my new dentist is a very handsome young man, Perfect, just what I need, a nice young gentleman poking around my well-rested mouth. But he was very kind and forgiving for my decision to take a break from dental care. He poked around my mouth, testing my gums for disease and apologized when his instrument made them bleed. The only thing I could look at was the ceiling while he picked at my sensitive gums. After the poking and picking was over, the dentist wiped the spit off my face ever so gently with a soft cotton swab and moved my chair to its upright position. Face to face with my charming new dentist, he informed me that my gums where in very bad shape, but can be fixed. A deep periodontal (gum) cleaning was necessary before he began working on the numerous cavities that needed to be filled and the root canal that needed to be^ well, canaled. Finally he would replace all of my current silver amalgam fillings with new clear cementfillingthat will last longer and look much better. He looked me in the eye after all of this and asked, "Are you O K? Did I go too fast?" Oh sweet doctor did you ever. I stumbled trying to find the right words to describe how I felt at that very moment. I knew I had neglected my teeth, I knew it was not normal to feel pain when eating or drinking.. But my fear of dentistry outweighed my rationality. I took a deep breathr and said, "I'm fine." I looked away from his adorable brown eyes to keep some of my dignity intact. He informed me that my mouth can be mended, I might lose a tooth, but it was only a tooth. I nodded in agreement feeling my face flush as he looked at the shame in my face. We set up two more appointments to clean my gums; we said our good-byes and parted ways. I tried to walk out the office with my head held high, I was embarrassed and relieved. I have a long way to go until my resolution is complete, and hopefully, my newfound respect for the dental industry will prevent me from needing another leave of absence from that dreaded chair.

From the co-director of "About a Boy," Paul Weitz, comes a comedic drama that reveals a story of two men greatly different in age together adjusting to changes in their lives. In thefilm,Dan Foreman (Dennis Quaid) and his much younger newly appointed boss, Carter Duryea (Topher Grace), find a common ground of understanding each other's lives through interesting experiences in and out of the workplace. As Duryea admires the idealistic family ties of Foreman, he finds affection in Foreman's daughter Alex (Scarlett Johansson). This film can be equally appreciated for its comedic, as well as its dramatic aspects, leaving you with plenty, moments to laugh and cry. Topher Grace does a wonderful job of playing a young hot-shot finding his place in both work and his life. Grace's charisma is complemented by the subtly and veteran acting expertise of Dennis Quaid. And let's not forget the greatly talented and ciassy Scarlett Johansson, who plays key role in presenting the heartfelt side of the film's story. "In Good Company" entertainingly displays the story of 'finding your place in life' that I think we all can in one way or another relate to. Watch this film, you won't be disappointed.

Arnold Schwarzenegger used his authority to strip $23.7 million from the CSU for this Spring 0 4' semester. He proposes to cut 9 percent of the CSU's funds for the 04-05 school year. What does this mean for the CSU? Our student fees raised 40 percent within a year — outstanding. It means that EOPS and outreach programs will cease to exist for a year or longer. It means that that the CSU can't grow. It means that teachers lost their jobs and students' education must suffer.

The reapplication process will include a lottery drawing of names that will guarantee rooms for only 125 students out of 460 currently living there. Other students who did not win the lottery and want to continue living in the UVA are going to have to wait till May 1 to find out if they will have a place to live the next school year. According to Director of the UVA Heather Singer, "Priority is being given to transfer students as opposed to freshman." Currently, there are 82 percent freshmen living in the dorms. She said that the next year there will be 55 percent freshmen living in the dorms giving it a different atmosphere. The lottery drawing has stirred up mixed reactions amongst students who currently live in the dorms. Although business major Lupe Soto is not going to be affected by the lottery drawing he is not buying into the lottery drawing. According to Soto, "Students that live here should have priority." Priority should also be given to students that apply to live at the UVA early. Freshman Michelle Lansinger does not agree. Although she is not going to be affected by the lottery drawing since she is not going to reapply next semester she thinks that the plan is fair since it gives students the opportunity to stay at the UVA.

The website is www.leginfo.ca.gov/yourleg.html. There's got to be more though. The Pride challenges Cal State students to send in letters about their own solutions to our education woes. Come to The Pride office at Commons 201 to get a leg up on what's happening with the CSU. Let's show the rest of the world how we handle our own.

However, before we get into the ugliness of the new uncertainty, I would like to welcome back all of you who are returning for another semester on our h ill For those who are joining us for the first time this semester* welcome and do not be intimidated. It is my understanding from some of the new students that I have spoke to that the orientation process was less than reassuring. To that I say relax, but also prepare. Thefirstsemester here is by far the worst for it is both demanding and gut wrenching. I would suggest to all you first timers not to get discouraged: it will get easier with time. For those who are not familiar with the position of ombudsman, I will give you a quick background. I write for the paper as a student like all the other Pride reporters, photographers and editors. What the ombudsman does precisely is provide a liaison for the readers to sift through and respond complaints and criticisms regarding the articles in The Pride. Therefore, g t^r P ride I encourage readers to e-mail me with their thoughts or condemnations for The Pride, to which I respond independently based solely on the validity of the claim. In other words, the ombudsman is like the conscience of The Pride. As for the new uncertainty, that could be the slogan for the future of the CSU system. Certainly changes are in our future with the proposals made by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. These changes are at the best uncertain and at the worst will resonate grimly through the halls of our campus from class cancellations and overcrowded classrooms to the elimination of programs and services for the students. The student population must voice their opinion on the proposed fee hikes and budget cuts to the CSU for this is a matter that cannot be thrown to the side. Gov Schwarzenegger's proposal will be a constant theme throughout the semester, please e-mail me and let me know your thoughts on his ideas. Also, e-mail me your thoughts on this edition of The Pride. My e-mail address is dolan005@csusm.edu HELP WANTED! g Mr Rrid^| BE INVOLVED W ITH YOUR STUDENT PAPER! GREAT RESUME BUILDER!

XXI N O . 1 Focus: The Chronicles of The Pride CSUSM's Independent Student Newspaper welcomes the new year with changes of its own * While transitioning into a new year, it is difficult not to reflect on the years leading up to present day. In 2009, the nation is embracing this notion of change. Keeping with that spirit, The Pride has chronicled the changes and evolution of California State University San Marcos. A campus that, though fairly young compared to the other CSU campuses, has faced its fair share of hurdles over the years I such as the controversy of SS ; SI the man Craven Hall was " named after (California State Legislature member William A. Craven), the threat of a faculty strike, and the ever increasing tuition r fee hikes. The Pride has been a fixture on the CSUSM campus for over fifteen years. Since most students are only at the campus for a few years, it is .hard to notice the evolution of The Pride or appreciate the improvements it makes each sequential semester. Each semester consequentially brings a new staff with its own set of preferences, ideas, and opinions and as such, each semester's worth of issues reflect the student body like CSUSM's very own time capsule in printed format. Since its inception in 1993, The Pride has evolved from black and white to color and grown with early editorial boards consisting of as few as two students. The history of II The Pride accounts for the longstanding struggle students have experienced to continue providing the campus Diego wild fires that resulted in the weeklong closure of the campus and ravaged much of San Diego County. Over the years, the look of The Pride has changed.

My opinions cannot be contained to just that field. I wilt continue to write about movies, music, and television, as well as school, society, and popular culture. Though l ife has blessed me with all that I have, one thing that eludes me is a car. For a while, this bothered me, but I have grown used to it. I stay f it by riding a bike all over San Marcos, and I can borrow a f riend's car if I really need to get somewhere. I still would like a car, but in this economic climate, I f igure it is b etter to save rather than spend on a car, gas, insurance, and the glorious parking pass. Previously, I was limited to where I could travel. Then the N orth County Transit Department opened the Sprinter. I cannot speak highly enough of this piece of public t ransportation. The Sprinter is a great addition to San Marcos and the rest of N orth County San Diego. It provides j obs and is ecologically sound mode t ransportation. I appreciate that I can now get to Oceanside, Vista, and Escondido for less than $5 The Sprinter does not get the recognition it deserves. It is a b eautiful machine and a great f orm of t ransportation. Though it took a while to open, I enjoy all that it makes possible and t hank the N orth Country Transit D epartment f or this brilliant addition to the area. and a pleasant ride along the smooth t rain. Now I can easily get to Target or the Coaster and head to San Diego and see my family. A fter I move out of University Village A partments this summer, I plan to live somewhere I can hop on the Sprinter to get to school. Photo by Bill Rhein Welcome from the E.I.C. Welcome back to school everyone. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jackie Carbajal and I will be serving as Editor-in-Chief to The Pride for this semester. I have been involved with The Pride since my first semester here in the fall of 2007 as a s taff writer before working as the news editor for the past two semesters. Before that, my experience in j ournalism was limited to an awareness that there were in fact newspapers out there and possibly the option to major in the field. The first time I stepped foot on campus was the day of my orientation and as a transfer student, my immersion into CSUSM came with reservation. Prior to my enrollment at CSUSM, I attended community colleges for three years. During those three years, all I went to campus for were classes and the few times I had to fill out forms for financial aid or parking permits. At my orientation at CSUSM7 getting involved was not j ust encouraged, it was stressed and that is where I first found out about the independent student newspaper, The Pride. I walked into The Pride office (Craven 3500) for the first time knowing absolutely nothing about writing for a newspaper but I went for it, even though I wanted to walk away during those first few weeks and pretend it never happened. A fter the initial fear and insecurities wash away, you start to feel something when you see your name in publicized work... pride. During my time as a student at CSUSM, I have seen The Pride fluctuate and evolve. The need for writers is ever-present. Never have I felt that we had too many good writers and had to t urn away worthy candidates. The same goes for editors. This semester, I have nothing but high hopes for our editorial board, which consists of four Literature and Writing Studies majors, two Business majors, and a Communications major. Our Faces and Places editor Amy Salisbury and her assistant, Sandra Chalmers are both extremely creative and eager to find new ways to reach the campus community through The Pride. Tiffanie Hoang, a Pride veteran, and her assistant, Bill Rhein bring refreshing ideas, humor and a heightened awareness of film and the arts to our A rts and Entertainment section. Their plans are to showcase more student work. Our Business Manager, Kristina Lawler, is r eturning for her second semester in the position. Without airing out our financial d irty laundry, it is safe to say that Kristina's hard work last semester and on going have saved this paper in many ways. Rudy Martinez stepped up as layout editor midway last semester a fter working as assistant layout editor prior to that. His dedication to the layout of The Pride was unwavering with him staying in the office until 2 a.m. on some Monday nights to make sure the paper met his high expectations. Though it may be easy to criticize the paper, I would like to remind the c ommunity that a large amount of work falls on the hands of a limited s taff, most of which had no experience with journalism or editing prior to The Pride. Some editors spend all their f ree time during the weekend producing the paper each week while j uggling a course load of twelve to fifteen units or more. This paper has become more to me than an opportunity to receive credits and build my portfolio. Regardless of the constant stress to meet deadlines and produce articles, having an editorial board that includes my closest f riends has made my experience with The Pride the best of my college career. In the spring, The Pride staff attended the Associated Collegiate Press convention in San Francisco and last summer, I had the opportunity to witness then Presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain address the National Council of La Raza in San Diego. The doors that working for The Pride open are endless. A program for American families and In closing, and most importantly, we at The Pride are dedicated to the education and representation of California State University San Marcos. The changes we made and continue to make with The Pride are to b etter embody the spirit of our campus and encourage contribution f rom the entire community. CSUSM taught me the i mportance of involvement on campus and I would like to reiterate that in regards to The Pride. This is what represents you all. If you like it, help us by contributing as a writer, submitting creative work, or suggesting story ideas. If you do not like it, we especially want to hear f rom you to let us know ways we can make you more proud of our weekly publication. A fter all, we do this for you.

Dr. King will long be remembered for his empowering motivational speeches such as his most famous "I Have a Dream" speech, delivered on August 28, 1963. President Ronald Reagan signed the bill that marked Martin Luther King, Jr. Day-as a federal holiday on November 2, 1983. The holiday, which is observed on the third Monday in January each year, was officially observed by all fifty U.S. states on January 17,2000.

This nation wide contamination has led Kebbler, Little Debbie and other major peanut butter distributors to recall possibly contaminated products and stop further shipments until the source of contamination is found. According to the FDA's website, salmonella is an intestinal bacteria that flourishes in raw meats, raw eggs or animal feces to cause foodborne illness. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting and fever. FDA continues to warn to avoid eating products that contain peanut butter. Image courtesy of The Associated Press A D V E R T I Z I N G IS EASY AS 1-2-3 1 . C H O O S E A D S IZE. 2 .

"The cost of shipping will be included in the price difference if the books were purchased from an online bookstore," said Monica Munoz, a current senior who has been working at the University Bookstore for three years. This means that if a cheaper textbook from another bookstore requires a shipping fee, that shipping fee will be added to the price of the textbook and if this total is still lower than the University Bookstore price, a price difference will be refunded.

Love-Lines.org BY TIFFANIE HOANG A & E Editor Lovelines uses a data collection engine that "examines thousands of blogs every few minutes to find expressions of love and hate, posted Love-lines.org is an online art project by by all manner of people." Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar that explores Lovelines is built around three "movehuman desire by presenting a gallery ofhuman ments": "Words", 'Tictures", and "Superlaexpressions rangingfromlove to hate as expe- tives". Words and Pictures present individual rienced by the many people who keep personal statements of human desire. Superlatives gives online journals. According to its Web site, a daily breakdown of what was most loved to what was most hated. Lovelines is presented on a white screen with a slider at the bottom that scales from "love" to "hate". The slider has a draggable heart that moves through the scale of human desire: Love, Like, Want, Indifference, Dislike, and Hate. In the artists' statement, Harris and Kamvar say: "Great desires imitate the physics of giant pendulums: the higher they rise, the deeper they fall. In this sense, love is inextricably tied to hate, desire to despair. Lovelines walks the line between these two extremes, painting pictures of the shifting landscape of desire. Constructed entirely from found artifacts - words and pictures posted to blogs - Lovelines draws its identity from a world of strangers, brought together by shared degrees of desire." samLAiim LWS L L'NfcS »nmiiovm Y OU Y OU Q UOTES .«amu^ WATCHING OFFENSE COMEDY MOVIE i W ^ THEMT ' "* T HAT LOOK ACID VIDEO »w««»» YOU ALL , HIM . s®*™* YOUS VIDEO -- • '* V . r". v. • ' .-¿'1: • y s...... - MOVIE MYSPACE THAT SONG — ~ SKATEBOARDING VIDEO rr.

Try not to piss o ff the administration to the point that they have us all killed by assassins. Lose 150 lbs (well, our old editor graduated so we've already completed that one). Keep the office cleaner, or teach the roaches to copy edit. As for me, I have my own set of resolutions. For example, if I lose 40 pounds, my boyfriend is going to propose. S o...I'm going to gain 50. That immediately gets rid of the "eat less cookies" and "exercise more" resolutions. Excellent. My second resolution is obviously to stop by pet stores and look at kittens more often. They make me happy, and my cat's starting to get a little shabby around the edges. Never too early to start shopping for a replacement. Resolution number three: get a Wii. Due to a nasty flu/migraine/ PLAGUE combo* I'm still behind on work f rom last semester, arid then I 'll have all the school work this semester, and the newspaper. I think now is an ideal time to take up Wii bowling with the grandparents. Plus it's j ust the level of exercise I need to gain those 50 pounds. Ok, I have to make five resolutions. Hmm. So # 4 is clean more often. The cat may not actually be shabby around the edges at all, so much as covered in dust bunnies because she's been napping in my room for so long. And it's not like I have a bad relationship with the vacuum cleaner. I m ean, I enjoy vacuuming. I'm like Vlad the Impaler of dust mites. And the fifth and final resolution of 2008: tell people that I love them more often. However, I don't want to strain myself, so I'm going to do it every other Tuesday between 4 and 5 in the afternoon. I figure three people an hour, once every two weeks, means I 'll tell people I love them about once every six months. That's a good comfortable level. Or really, better yet...#5: t ry every Beer o f the Week. �NEWS Tuesday; January 22, 2008 T H E ( ft P RIDE ;; mrtoKmcnm VÏRI01AHA < É^CIiBCO-ISÀAC V .

L etters t haa ^ Chargers, plagued by injuries fall to undefeated Patriots BY T IM MOORE Pride Staff Writer EDITORIAL STAFF i ndividual T HE P RIDE The Chargers run at playoff glory is over. Just one game away from the Super Bowl, the Chargers were unable to beat the now 18-0 New England Patriots on a frigid day in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The main concern regarding the Chargers going into the game was the uncertainty of the health of team's three offensive gems. Philip Rivers, despite leaving last week's contest with a injured knee, managed to play the entire game, but the injury combined with the sub-freezing temperatures may have lead to Rivers' two interceptions, two sacks, and zero touchdowns. Running back, LaDainian Tomlinson reinjured a bruised knee on the very first play of Sunday's contest. With Tomlinson in the game, the Chargers would have had a better chance to capitalize on their three trips into the red-zone; all of which ended up resulting in field goals. An integral part of the Chargers passing game, tight end, Antonio Gates played the game ailing from a dislocated toe. The injury held Gates to only two receptions for 17 yards. The Chargers got on the board first in this game, on a 26-yard, Nate Kaeding field goal. I Early on in the second quarter, Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady orchestrated a 65-yard drive, resulting in a one-yard touchdown from running back, Lawrence Maroney. San Diego pushed all the way to the New England five yard line, only to be forced to kick field goal to brong the score to 6-7. At the four minute mark in the second quarter, Patriots cornerback, Asante Samuel intercepted a Philip Rivers pass for 10 yards, and just two plays later, Tom Brady passed to wide receiver, Jabar Gaffney up the middle for a 12-yard touchdown, bringing the Patriots lead to 14-6. The Chargers closed out the half with Nate Kaeding 40-yard field goal. At the eight minute mark in the third quarter, the Chargers capped off yet another drive deep into New England territory with a Nate Kaeding field goal, this time for 24 yards. New England scored early in the fourth quarter on a Tom Brady to Wes Welker sixyard touchdown, bringing the score to 21-12. San Diego gave one more shot at a comeback, but were derailed by solid New England pass protection. Three Chargers intercepted Tom Brady passes, leaving analysts to question Brady's passing game going iiito the Super Bowl. Antonio Cromartie's third quarter pick was Brady's first red-zone interception in over two years. It took 62 straight red-zone touchdowns for Brady to throw one interception, and it is apt that Cromartie had the honor of catching it.

Known as 'Ask Jeeves' up until early 2006, the engine was famous for encouraging users to pose questions to a fictitious butler, or self-proclaimed, "gentleman's personal gentleman." The concept caught on quickly, but was soon swept under the rug by the simplicity of engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN. 10 years and $227 million later, Ask.com is poised to regain the popularity that it once held. Dropping the notion of asking a question, Ask.com has rolled out unprecedented features that allow users to get the absolute most out of searches. Users can chose from eight front page sub-features, including: Web, Images, City, News, Blogs, Video, Maps & Directions, and Shopping. Users can also chose. from different skins to customize the Ask.com experience. Se^rch.results are processed into a three column design that offers users the most complete search on one page. In the right column, Ask.com offers ways to "Narrow Your Search" and "Expand Your Search." The right column also contains "Related names" and the ability to go into an advanced search. The middle column contains the typical results that any search engine would contain, however, if a search contains a personality (celebrity, athlete, ect.), the results include a special feature including a short biography, and other helpful links. If a user is searching for a city, a map of the given city appears at the top of the middle column, along with links for Jobs, Current Weather, and Seasonal Climate. The right column is the most useful and robust feature of Ask. com. The column includes an images preview, Wikipedia encyclopedia entry, and a videos preview. If searching for a city, in addition to the aforementioned categories, users can see the city's current time and date, and the current weather, with a link to a detailed forecast. If the search result has current news around it, links to news stories are also included in the right column. A huge right column feature shows Obtaining your P hD?

Boon Rawd Brewery brews Singha in Bangkok, Thailand. Boonrawd Srethabutra founded the brewery in 1933 and produced Singha making it the first lager manufactured in Thailand. The brewery began exporting globally in the 1970s and now 9 M H B offers their products to ft J H more than 40 countries. The-dark brown glass fip m bottle contains 21.3 fluid ounces with an alcoHK hoi by volume of 6%. A • light version of the lager offers a timid 3.5% ABV. The bottle has Photo by Jonathan Thompson / The Pride white label with primarily a glossy gold color filling in the lettering. The label depicts an ancient beast of some nature that appears to be a combination of both a dragon and a tiger. The bottle has an elegant white foil wrapping similar to champagne bottles Ground the neck and bottle cap. Lastly, a white bôttlé cap seals the lager containing the same ancient beast and brewery name in red lettering. The heavily carbonated lager pours with a one inch thick white head that disappears almost as quickly as it formed. The lager has a pleasant, almost sweet aroma and glistens in a light, golden amber hue. As the lager rests in the beer mug the carbonation rises endlessly to the top. The first phase of the sip allows a mild soothing lager to enter the mouth. A slight prickle of the tongue forms and then transcends into a Chuck Norris roundhouse f kick to the taste buds as a bolder flavor washes over all areas of the mouth. The lager descends into the H k abyss of the stomach and leaves a lingering bitter residue. Naturally, the lager pairs exquisitely with Thai ^ m cuisine. The mellow yet bold • lager highlights the eccentric ^ m spices and flavors of authenËÈË tic Thai food. Between the stresses of waiting in line for overpriced parking permits and textbooks, grab some Singha and relax. Welcome back Cougars!

XVII NO. 1 CFA u p i n a rms Faculty Association holds informational picket for a fair contract from CSU chancellor BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer On Monday, in the library plaza, CSUSM professors took part in informational picketing as they made their first public step against CSU Chancellor Charles Reed and his administration. Armed with signs that read, "Stop the Ripoffs!" "Roll Back Student Fee Hikes!" "Teaching: an art, not just a job." "Fair Contract!" professors of all doctrines held a common goal: to have their voice heard and their actions acknowledged by the CSU administration, the legislator and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, for the sake of education on every level. As the president of the San Marcos chapter for the California Faculty Association, Dr. Janet Powell was among the 50 professors. According to Dr. Powell, professors in the CSU system are 18% behind in salary compared to professors out of state. In trying to keep up with California's cost of living without any recent significant raises in salary proposals, most professors across the CSU system have decided that they are no longer able to comply and instead, they are aiming to go on strike. "For the past 19 months, the CFA has been out of contract negotiations with the Chancellors Office," Dr. Powell said. "They refused to come back to the bargaining table." According to the CFA, in July 2005, the salary increase of CSU executives was 19.4%. The CSU faculty raise was 3.5%. Since 2002, the CSU administration and the board of trustees have raised student fees by 76%. The administration has plans to increase the fees by 10% through 2010. Additionally, there are 1,000 administrators in the CSU who earn over $100,000 each year. Most professors earn less money in a year than what adminSee CFA, page 3 m Faculty/Staff I IÉ)(MH Student Learning -Conditions California Faculty"-MU psoa Association ¿ é é é Photo by Kelly Corrigan CSUSM CFA members participated in an informational picketing sending a message to Chancellor Reed. CSUSM w elcomes n ew fraternity Zeta Beta Tau BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Among the new additions to Cal State San Marcos this spring is the men's fraternity, Zeta Beta Tau. Yesterday, ZBT representatives visited CSUSM in hopes of encouraging young men to become the founding fathers of the CSUSM chapter as they immerse themselves in leadership roles and have some f un along the way. ZBT is the oldest and largest Jewish fraternity and it is significantly the only fraternity: CSUSM has invited to become a part of the school since the initial invitations a decade ago. The fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon and sororities Alpha Chi Omega and Alpha Xi Delta were the first to arrive at CSUSM. For over 50 years, ZBT has been a non-sectarian fraternity. Director of Chapter Affairs Laurence Bolotin says, "ZBT is proud of its history but it is not a religious organization."

I've really enjoyed my past experiences with The Pride and expect nothing less f rom this coming year. The Pride has certainly struggled throughout its existence here at CSUSM, but I believe that given our limited resources (at one point we had j ust six editors and five contributing writers!), The Pride has been successful in its e fforts to produce a paper that is continually progressing in its quality. Here at The Pride we strive to provide the people of this campus with the essential, as well as relevant information regarding this school, while at the same time serving as a voice of the students. Not to forget our e fforts to entertain, whether it's through our "Saved By The Bell" crossword puzzle or our horoscopes f rom Ms. Moondream. All in all we hope to put out a u seful student newspaper, with the ' student' aspect emphasized. Thi$ brings me, to my; plea f ^r the students here at CSUSM to join in our efforts here at The Pride. I would like this paper to continue to do what it does well, but also improve on the areas where it is lacking. For example, I believe the paper has done a great j ob expanding its coverage of our sports program over this past semester, but now I would like for us to cover more activities within the arts department. Changes like this will occur throughout the paper, and I believe we can all benefit from your input. As we hope to put out a paper that's informative, interesting and entertaining to our readers, your thoughts and opinions are really important. By knowing what you, the readers, are looking for in our paper, we can better provide. So how about it? Lend us your thoughts at pride@csusm.edu. Alright well good luck this semester and I hope to hear from you. Jason Encabo For the rest of you, we have a lot to look forward to this semester. Much has changed over the break. The campus has r eorganized itself utilizing the 3rd floor of Craven Hall for student services. Even the Pride relocated (CRA3500) and our new pad is really sweet, please feel f ree to come by to hang out and see what's going on. As for the Pride, Jason Encabo (our newly appointed Managing Editor) and myself are hoping to implement video stories through The Pride Online, we are even planning to showcase student work/films (again if interested: pride@csusm.edu). The Sports section really took off last semester, in large part due to Kyle Trembley's incredible coverage, and we can look forward to Baseball, Softball, Golf and Track and Field coverage this semester. We have integrated comics and crossword puzzles into each issue, which hopefully you have found to be enjoyable. Also, Amanda Andreen has stepped up to become The Pride's new Feature's Editor, expect some great features stories about student life in the coming issues. All together the staff at The Pride started off fresh last semester and they have all really started to find their voice. I, for one, can't wait to see where they take the paper this semester. As for you, thank you for reading and continue to write to us. This is truly your paper and if we aren't serving you the way you would like, let Us know how we can. For now, I leave you to enjoy the rest of this issue. Summer break is almost here, the Chargers are about to d raft some more players and I have some hops and barley to consume for Beer of the Week. Your Editor, David Gatley Campus police ready for UPROAR Image courtesy of campus police Campus Police p repare to unveil a c omprehensive r estraining order p rogram. BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer A s campus police strive to accomplish their mission in preserving and protecting the working and academic environment, they have created a new program titled University Police Restraining Order and Response or UPROAR. The additional service is intended for students, s taff and f aculty at CSUSM. In t he past, members of t he CSUSM community have filed r estraining orders against t heir ex-husbands, e x-girlfriends and ex-boyfriends. I n c ertain cases, those who were told to r emain outside of any f orm of communication or physical contact r efused to do so, t hreatening students, s taff or faculty. In c ertain cases, the t hreats have led t o t hreats of physical assaults. W hen followed properly, a r estraining order should not p ermit t he m ale or f emale t o c ommunicate w ith t hose w hom they d esire t o t hrough cell p hone, email or any i n-person c ontact. T he order should i mmediately h alt any f orms of verbal t hreats, h arassment or s talking. With UPROAR, campus police are extending their hand for anyone who has filed a restraining order or anyone who is looking t o file one, to share the order with the campus police where they will review it in discussion then keep the restraining order on file in the utmost confidentiality. I n the event that those who do not abide by the court order arrive on campus, the campus police could apply the knowledge of the physical description f rom the file when needed. Additionally, for all those who are looking to file a restraining order against someone, campus police would be able to assist them in filing the order, and point them toward the proper resources. Officer John Balos said, "As a means to b e proactive and help the community remain safe, we would like to work effectively in f orming relationships with the community to help eliminate possible crimes f rom occurring." �NEWS THE PRIDE From CFA, page 1 istrators in the CSU system have been earning in increases.

She added, "The CSU is dying. It's hard to tell because our university is growing." Many look to the CSU system as one of the best _ leading examples of quality education available to students at an affordable price. For years, it has been. But recently, without an adequate salary given to the CSU faculty to live within California's standards, the future is grim according to Dr. Powell. As a last resort in their endeavors, faculty at all 23 campuses are taking action. Another motto of the CFA is, "Faculty working conditions are student learning conditions." Recently, they've adopted a new one. "I don't want to strike, but I ^ ill." As they circled Library Plaza, the professors chanted, "What do we want? Contracts! When do been involved. The non-pledging aspect of the fraternity was a radical move to make in 1990 as it still is today. The decision to make the fraternity a non-pledging one was done in order to eliminate hazing.

Once the fact finding process is finished, it becomes legal for professors to go on strike. i The faculty plans to take part in two day rolling strikes that will take place throughout the state of California. Once they go on strike, the faculty predicts that the Chancellor's office will impose a contract. There is a possibility that a professor on strike would have to cancel one of their classes when on strike. If desired, there is also a possibility that the ——— class could convene at a location off campus. Dr. Powell made it clear that for every faculty member participating in the strike, as much as they are determined to send a message to the Chancellor's Office, they are equally sympathetic towards their students in not letting the strikes interfere with their students' regular coursework and studies. Dr. Powell said, "We don't want to hurt our students. Our desire is to minimize the impact on [them]." Of all the f ull time tenure track professors who belong to the local chapter of CFA, 70% support the strike. At the end of February, the CFA will vote whether or not they will go on strike, although it is most likely that they will. The strike would take place in the front of the school, on Twin Oaks Boulevard, at the end of March or April. "Nobody wants this to happen, Dr. Powell said, but we don't have any choice. We're in a bad place. This spring will be a tough semester." An informational strike meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 6 at 11:45 in the Clarke Field House.

Some students go semesters or even years not knowing what t o do and struggling to figure it all out. Well, no more will students see the FASFA as a challenging process. FASFA becomes available during December of each year. This is when students can begin their process of filing for financial aid. The Cal State University system priority filing date is March 2nd of each year. This means the CSU system encourages all applicants to have sub- mitted their financial aid information before or close to that time; though that isn't necessarily the deadline, as CSUSM will still accept applications for the FASFA after the deadline. However, filing late makes the process of getting financial aid more drawn out. According to the CSUSM website (www.csusm. edu), "If you meet the March 2nd priority filing date, you improve the chances of receiving aid from all the programs for which you are eligible." Once a student applies for financial aid, CSUSM's Financial Aid & Scholarship Office will collaborate with the student and keep them updated on any papers or information they may need to complete the process. For example, "required documents may Website of the Week: BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer These days it seems that there are innumerable ways to get plugged into a cause, get connected, and stay involved in the community. Yet, the avenues of how to select which organization or which cause to donate your time to f rom the hundreds if not thousands of equally worthy causes can be daunting to say the least. As college students, the need to be connected and the drive to feel like each individual makes a difference in the world is j ust as important as each of the other many extracurricular activities students have at their disposal. Idealist.org is a non-profit website hosted by the Action include copies of your last federal income tax return(s) and/or verification of untaxed income and other information reported on the FAFSA," (www.csusm.edu). For more detailed information students can look up additional information at the Financial Aid & Scholarship Office. The new and improved office is on the third floor of Craven along with other helpful offices like Admissions & Recruitment, Cashiers, Enrollment Management Services, Financial Aid & Scholarship, Registration & Records, and Student Life & Leadership in the new Cougar Central. CSUSM's Financial Aid & Scholarship Office will help students through the entire process of applying for the FAFSA and financial aid so students can be _' nified lives."

It's not too late to sign up for FASFA, especially for the 20072008 school year, as there is over a month left for the initial filing period.

I did a lot of partying, a little bit of writing and working, a lot of lying around, and a ton of thinking about my future. The biggest occurrence, however, was when I chopped off my beautiful locks of ham A lot of things happened over break that I was dying to comment on. I felt like the world was taunting me with all of the happenings over the past 5 weeks. Of course, there are other outlets that my name appears in, but no place gives me more freedom than this newspaper, which I am going to dearly miss in five months when I graduate. What made me happiest to see over break was Tony Gwynn being elected into the Hall of Fame. I grew up watching him play baseball, and have been lucky enough to meet him while on assignment. It's great seeing good guys get some recognition every once in a while. Along that same subject, I was very glad to see that "The Hulk", Mark McGwire, did not get in. What I was least shocked to see over break was the Chargers collapse in the playoffs. I predicted this exact occurrence in my article last semester about LaDainian Tomlinson. Speaking of that article, I was most shocked over break to see that someone in the media essentially stole my column idea a month after I wrote it. I take it as a compliment that people outside of this campus read this paper. I was most disgusted to be a United States American when I constantly saw the Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump "feud" in the headlines. I think I may be the only person left in this country who doesn't want to see a hippo and a hyena fight. I was most proud to be a United States American when I saw that our President's approval rating is at an all new low, because people in this country are finally seeing that things are pretty messed up around here. I was most proud of a fellow entertainer when Damon Wayans challenged the authority of the "Laugh Factory" in Hollywood. A fter the Michael Richards incident, the "Factory" banned the use of Juniors • Seniors • G r ad u a te S t u d e n t s A spiring to obtain doctorate the word that "Kramer" was lambasted for using. Some clubs, like the "Tempe Improv" have eve gone as far as to ban all cuss words. Wayans incurred a fine from the club and a several month ban. As much as I don't like derogatory names, I despise censorship that much more. Hopefully that last sentence made the final cut. In December, I was most sad when I heard the news that James Brown died. I was most scared just a few days later to see his face on a billboard saying that he is scheduled to perform "live" in San Diego in late January. I felt most victorious when I heard the news that University Hour is going to be decreased to only two days a week starting in fall 2007. Although I won't be here to see the spoils of my laborious opposition to the ridiculous concept of "nap time" for college students, I still feel a sense of accomplishment. I was most relieved when grades came out for last semester and I earned three A's, two B's and one C in my 19-unit semester from hell. This semester should be a lot more enjoyable since I am only taking 16 units and graduating in May. As usual, you can send me an e-mail to sando026@csusm.edu. As I have previously mentioned once or twice, this is my last semester of college and my last semester with the paper, so lets make sure it is just as controversial as all the other ones.

Set in the early 1960s, "Dreamgirls" opens with a dream shared by three young singers who call themselves the Dreamettes - Effie (Jennifer Hudson), Deena (Beyonce Knowles) and Lorrell (Anika Noni Rose) - and a host of other aspiring musical artists competing for grand prize at a New York talent competition. (&(£ TUesday, January 23, 2007 D ream Girl All other acts pale in comparison, however, to the Dreamettes, a fact not lost on silver-tongued car salesman Curtis Taylor, Jr. (Jamie Foxx) who has high-reaching aspirations of his own. Taylor soon persuades the trio to sing backup for the James Brown-esque James "Thunder" Early (Eddie Murphy), and the group embarks for the bigtime on a highway to fame - and heartbreak. Originally a Tony-award winning Broadway musical, "Dreamgirls" was adapted to the big screen with panache by director Bill Condon and an amazing cast. Beyonce Knowles stretches her golden voice and burgeoning acting muscles in the role of sweet, fresh-faced Deena Jones, coming of age in a cutthroat industry; Eddie Murphy delights as larger-than-life James "Thunder" Early, a smooth-talking singer oozing with soul and weakness for a pretty face; but the sumptuous costumes for the film. sensational songstress who stole Fans of fashion history will ooh the show, and the heart, of many and ahh over her decadent crean audience member is Jennifer ations which span the various Hudson.

In the role of Effie Melody White, Hudson engages the audience with her vivacity, charm, and vocal intensity in each and every one of her scenes.

Danny Archer Amidst the height of civil war and rebel uprising, "Blood Diamond" takes place in Sierra Leone, Africa during the late 1990s. "Blood Diamond" leads audiences through a chaotic and powerful story of two African men both searching for their own interpretation of liberation. Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio), a diamond smuggler searching for a way out of Africa, and Solomon Vandy (Dihmon Hounsou), a fisherman who loses everything as the country's lust for diamonds swells, both captivate and overwhelm the screen alike, and both look to the value of the diamond to save them. Playing the romantic object of Danny Archer, Jennifer Connelly portrays the know-it-all American journalist, Maddy Bowen, searching for the underground and undiscovered story of conflict diamonds. Though her portrayal is somewhat contrived, she aptly depicts a believable and compassionate journalist, and her presence is necessary to complete DiCaprio's portrayal of a rugged, African, and believable man's man. Without her, DiCaprio's performance wouldn't have been as sharp, and without DiCaprio, my experience of the film and its message would have been absolutely flat. The meat of the plot begins when Solomon Vandy's family is torn from him as "RUF" rebels (whom are mostly child soldiers) raid his village. In line to be disfigured by a machete, Vandy is spared by the commander of RUF and sent to work in the diamond Obtaining your P hD?

Enslaved to a muddy river sifting through sediments for diamonds, he stumbles upon a giant pink diamond. Realizing that hiding and burying the rock is the only he will be able to live and secure his family's survival, he hides the rock just as the diamond mine camp is bombed. Captured by the opposing military, he finds himself in prison, where Danny Archer is as well, after having been caught smuggling diamonds across the Sierra Leone border into Namibia. It is in the prison then that Vandy's secret is revealed as the commander too arrives at the prison, and knows that Vandy had found a pink stone. Overhearing this, Archer ensures Vandy's release and o ffers his help to find Vandy's family in hopes of being led to the pink diamond. As war erupts and destroys the city, the two are forced to band together if they are to survive. The issues director Edward Zwick and screenplay writer Charles Leavitt address and impose upon viewers are about the harsh realities of conflict diamonds and how much people in A frica s uffer f rom the retrieval of diamonds for export. Equally as important, the movie o ffers insight into the unfathomable life of a child soldier, and the life they create under the worst of conditions. The torrents of brutal killing, display of unimaginable survival tactics, and the actuality of the diamond business as well as the civil war in A frica were almost too much to take for the 2 hours and 23 minutes that contains the experience of "Blood Diamond." With no inhibitions about showing it like it is along with an unbelievable and flawless performance by DiCaprio—who definitely makes it clear that he's grown up since his "Titanic" days— "Blood Diamond" is a must see. �Tuesday, January 23, 2007 THE PRIDE Book Reviewi BY SARAH PULTZ Pride Staff Writer Movie Review Toöriteö m à M&^ffire: ^ ^ m W f N t a n t magica! best Several other fashion throöghoiii: stili � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Effective this semester, the Community Service Officer staff has increased to 12, which therefore allows two officers on duty at all times. "Because the parking officers are responsible for enforcing vehicle code laws and regulations, they now answer to University Police," said Chief of Police Aaron Woodard. Woodard also commented on the benefits of including these officers BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN stating, "By combining the offi- Pride Staff Writer cers in these departments with our own, campus patrol power is Cal State San Marcos' Green increased."

Consistently, professors said that they inform their students of f uture reading lists as soon as possible so that they can purchase books online. Professor Charles, however, expressed that he was "actually quite sympathetic to the plight of bookstores in this age of Amazon. I realize this isn't true of the sciences, but for history books that are not survey textbooks (and even for some books that are) the greater volume and the lack of "bricks and mortar" allows Amazon to undercut the bookstore price considerably, even on used books." When questioned on this matter via email, most of these professors remarked that they had no criticism of the bookstore staff.

The building will provide the necessities including a fully-equipped kitchen, bathrooms and a floor for students to sleep on. Trip cost is $200 per student and, according to the ASI Activities Coordinator, Sara Gallegos, fundraising opportunities will be available for students in the hopes of covering all expenses. Interested students need to apply by Tuesday, Jan. 31 and submit an initial deposit of $50. Applications are available in the ASI business office, the Student A ffairs office, or on the ASI webpage at www.csusm.edu/ASI. If students have problems making the down payment by Jan. 31, they can arrange -special payment options with Gallegos. The final balance of $150 will be due March 10. At this time, ASI can only offer the trip to CSUSM students, faculty and staff. Participants are not required to have prior skills, but should come willing to take part in the project enthusiastically. The participants are expected to contribute to the planning of the trip, which involves attending biweekly meetings and fundraising. Outside of working on homes, the coordinators of the trip want to plan other f un activities such as sightseeing in the local areas. The idea behind this trip is to break away f rom the hazardous traditions of spring break to create a safe, f un environment for students to do something constructive. This explains the big rules: no drugs, alcohol or gambling during the trip. Some benefits to choosing Alternative Spring Break over the traditional Spring Break include: meeting new people, learning new skills, immersing yourself in the reality of hardship, working with a highly regarded non-profit organization, building your resume, partaking in change, and creating a positive, lasting memory. "It is hard to put in words the feeling that you get when you take yourself out of your comfort zone and learn things about yourself, and what your abilities are," mentioned Gallegos. Students looking for something more meaningful to do with their time off should look no further than Alternative Spring Break where space is still limited.

Cal State San Marcos provides students, faculty and staff with many available options to contribute to a 'greener' campus and environment. Recycling bins can be found next to almost every exterior trash can and in the hallways of many high-traffic buildings. From scribbled-on pages to plastic coffee cups to coffee grinds, the Green Team enthusiastically encourages everyone to recycle. To best help eliminate the need for recycling, Cougars can purchase reusable cups, available in the University Store and in The Dome, which come with a complimentary drink. Reducing is also a recommended option. Habits such as printing on both sides of a paper and using Tupperware instead of Ziploc are highly recommended. While recycling is mandated in California's public institutions, it's hard to understand how highly the honor and prestige is in winning the competition. "This is awfully big on the east coast. We didn't really know how big this was. It has national resonance. We've been put on the map, in a positive way/' mentioned Hanson about Cal State San Marcos' win last year. "The competition is only going t6 get bigger and bigger and bigger." The slogan is: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Recycling should be considered the last option as with this year's new focus, Cal State San Marcos has been challenged to reduce its overall campus-wide amount of both trash and recyclables.

Across the Globe, and Women as Global Business Leaders." Women's Studies has approximately 30 students participating in the major program, with additional students participating in the minor program and at least 500 students enrolling in various courses to satisfy upper and lower division requirements. Equipped with three tenure professors and an average of five to seven lecturers, the department also hopes to expand its staff to accommodate the new coursework and help draw in students by offering more consecutive classes. "The task force seems interested in our transformation and direction of the department. The key message we have received f rom them has been to expand our core offerings," said Allison, "by relying less of sociology, psychology and other majors to support the degree program by sharing courses. We will be working on strengthening our internal capabilities." If this proposal for Gender and Sexuality Studies is approved, by fall 2007 students will have more courses to choose from that involve contemporary issues with a globalfocus.

With this proposed department-wide transformation, however, the major would expand to include more courses that relate to all genders and concepts of sexuality. "One change that we are proposing is to require students within the major to take WMST 341: Men and Masculinity, which has previously been an optional course," said Allison.

We have been on the education grind now for at least four years straight, accustomed to writing papers, group work, lectures, and of course that mile walk we must endure to get to our first class. Every semester we go through these rituals in hope of a promising career that will propel us into the next step of our young adult lives. Undoubtedly some of us already have a career plan for the next five years after college, however, most still answer Grandma's notorious Christmas dinner question: "So what are you going to do when you get out of school?" with a solid "I'm not sure yet." Many then think to themselves and decide that whatever comes along is supposed to, justifying it as a matter of fate. Maybe it was fate that helped me find a person who has survived the CSUSM experience and is now very productive in her new career. Casey Raymond graduated in 2003, but started at a junior college near her home in Rancho Cucamonga just to fulfill her general requirements. It was not until she took a Sociology course there that she became interested in it for her major. "I wanted to learn about society and the people in it," she reflects. Her next step in completing her general Ed was to find a Cal State that would not only be good for her major, but would also fit her per- sonal needs as well. So, as most of us would do, she went to the internet for answers. Consequently she found that Cal Sate San Marcos was rated third among the top five schools for Sociology. She also relished in the fact that it was one of the newest Cal States and was still very close to the beach. Unlike a growing number of students, it took Casey only a total of four years to graduate. "I took more than a full load each semester, I took a summer school course, and I really like school, it was just easy for me." In addition to her maintaining a full load she also worked for Ralph's Grocery Store as a cashier. And yes, she did endure the strike. Even though she was making more money than some people field. with degrees, she still says that When asked if she could have now, "because of my degree I feel accomplished this goal without that it has given me an edge over her degree she replied, "Yes, but those in my field.

The program is still under development but, if implemented, it will allow students and faculty to purchase Microdot kits from the University Store for marking valuables such as laptop computers, cell phones, iPods, books, calculators and palm pilots. If stolen, marked items can be traced by University Police according to the Microdot patterns made by the item's owner which can be made visible only by black light. "Items can also be traced through pawn trained in CPR, first aid, and AED use. This is a great first step.

CSUSM Police Officers will continue to attend Monday night dinners at University Village to allow students there to become more familiar with their services. Also, by Fall 2006, Community Service Learning will begin working with the University Police Department to provide internships for Criminology majors. Moving forward in 2006, CSUSM Police would like to work to dissolve boundaries between students . and officers. Chief Woodard urges all students to either visit the University Police Department or participate in their events this semester to form a better understanding of the services they also provide.

Work. Eat. Sleep. School. Work. Eat. Sleep. School. Work. Party. No Sleep. Sound familiar? This was and is my life. I may be new here to the CSUSM campus, but attending different colleges and universities is nothing new to me. I'm 25 years old, graduated high school in 1998, and am literally working on my "10 yr. Bachelor's Degree". I grew up in San Diego, the oldest of three children. Although others may have said I had strict parents, to me I had "abnormally" strict parents. If homework was due at the end of the week, my parents made sure that it was completed the same day I received the assignment. I was not allowed to talk and gossip on the phone like most kids did, I wasn't even allowed to know any boys, let alone talk to them! Not only did homework have to be done before I was allowed to watch TV, but also all household chores. Take out the trash. Fold the laundry. Clean my room. Wash the dishes. It was unbearable! Naturally, as soon as I graduated high school, I took the first chance I got to get out of my parents, grip. I fled to Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Why Utah of all places? Well I was raised a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, also known as the Mormon Church. My parents did everything they could to talk me into staying in San Diego and attending Mesa College, but I was determined to get away and see what was out there. Having sent in my acceptance to BYU at the very last minute, I was not able to get into the dorms there, so as a 17 year old freshman, I shared a three bedroom apartment with five other girls. I was thrown into my own version of MTV's Real World. Now that I was free, f ree as a bird, I went out of control. I had What if no limits, no boundaries, no one telling me what to do. It was great!! Or so I thought. Do you know how much partying they do in Utah?! Well* I was always out clubbing, shooting pool, going to house parties, and whatever else I could do, I did. Of course I never showed up to my morning classes, and my grades slipped. And yet, as stubborn and hard headed as I was, I actually started to miss my family and friends in San Diego. My parents convinced me to move back a fter j ust one year at BYU. I figured they were right; I had no clue what I wanted to major in, I was living off student loans, I was 18 and as lost and confused as ever. They had reeled me in with the line, "Come home where it's f ree, take the time to find what it is you want to do, then go back up there with a plan." I never went back. You can't give a kid candy, then take it away and expect everything to be ok. My f reedom was my candy, and the minute I moved back home, the candy was snatched right out of my fingers. I had a curfew, I was not allowed on the phone a fter 9pm, I was not allowed out of the house unless my parents knew and met who I was going out with. It was back to the jailhouse for me! I soon obtained a j ob and attended Mesa College. I was a part time bank teller, part time college student, but also still a part time partygoer. I quickly became a shame to my parents as I spent several years bouncing around the San Diego County College District. Miramar, City, Mesa, I've almost attended them all. In the midst of this, I thought that I had to obtain my freedom back, so I moved out and got a roommate. Life was soon a lot harder than I had expected it to be. But as hard headed as I am, I was not going back to that jailhouse even though the pressure was on nice and strong. My younger brother was doing well at San Diego State University, and somehow, I made my own way into SDSU. I'm I hated math and science, and I loved to talk and write, so majoring in Communication j ust came naturally for me. At this point, I was working two part time jobs j ust to pay the rent, and it was safe to guess that my grades at SDSU were starting to slip. In fact, they slipped to the point that I found myself on academic probation, then disqualified. This was a cold hard slap in the face. I was then determined to get back into school and do it right. SDSU would only take me back in a fter a period of time, and under certain criteria that I thought was a bit ridiculous, so I explored my options. There were a few people I knew who had attended and graduated f rom Cal State San Marcos, and offered high recommendations. Some said it was a smaller campus, less crowded. Others have said it's j ust the atmosphere that's better. All have warned me about the stairs, calling it CSU Stair Master! For the week that I've been here I have noticed that the campus is beautiful. The grounds are kept nice and clean, and parking is not nearly as bad as it is at SDSU. The people here at CSUSM seem a lot more down to earth and easy to talk to. I 'm not sure what it is about this place, but I 'm confident that this will be my last stop at a college or university. In college, I leaped at a chance to get a tutor to help me pass my horrid math classes to get on with my life. My problem is I 'm good at being enveloped in the now. At seventeen I felt old and that life was flashing uncontrollably before my eyes. Once through junior high, every following year seemed to gather speed. I didn't realize as much as I do now that high school was truly only a stepping stone for the next phases of life. No time slips by as quickly as the college years. I have seen this school expand and change since I arrived as a freshman in the fall of 2002. I can still distinctly remember freshman year in which any student could find parking i athe first lot without waiting for another person to leave (and I 'm talking about prime, first row parking!). I picture the tiny old library and how I had to carry my track sports bag with me all day because I carpooled to a school that didn't yet have a field house f ull of lockers. My first friendships were formed with people on the track team my first year, and I remember how most of them didn't return my second year.

Cuba, Dominican Republic, Japan, Mexico, Puerto Rico, United States and Venezuela are left. I will start by eliminating Puerto Rico because I don't think they can get past Cuba which will cause them to get the No. 2 seed from that pool. However, they do have a shot. Their offense consists of Carlos Beltran, Juan Gonzalez, Ruben Sierra, Bernie Williams, Jose Cruz Jr., Felipe Lopez, Carlos Delgado and Jose Vidro. Without a doubt, they have the greatest catching crew in the tournament with Javy Lopez, Ivan Rodriguez, Bengie Molina and Yadier Molina. They are also managed by one of the best managers in the tournament in Jose Oquendo. Say Adios to Mexico because they're in the same pool as the United States and Canada which means Mexico might not even get past pool play. They do have a few nice players like Nomar Garciaparra, Erubiel Durazo, Jorge Cantu, and Adrian Gonzalez! However, that is not enough fire power to make up for weak pitching that only has Oliver Perez, Esteban Loaiza and Rodrigo Lopez worth mentioning.

Nü oliar i ' m l o v i n ' it �OPINION THE PRIDE Tuesday, January 24, 2006 Parking is NOT easy when you are a disabled student My first week back to school involved abdominal surgery and a special medical parking permit at Cal State San Marcos. I am a disabled student. My disease requires that I have surgery about every year or so, depending on the severity of my symptoms. This past week was the third surgery I have endured while attending CSUSM. Since I still had two weeks left to recover once spring semester started, I was eligible for a temporary medical permit so that I could park in what most students call The Dome parking lot. This sounds great. As anyone who attends CSUSM would know, walking up Craven Rd. with your backpack wouldn't work out after having abdominal surgery. So, here is the problem. The first day of school I arrived at 7:30 a.m. I arrived to find that the one medical permit spot on the CSUSM campus had already been taken. I spoke to someone in parking services to find a solution. I was told to "arrive earlier, or, get a ride to school." I was also told to move my car since I was not in the medical permit spot% I explained that I just had abdominal surgery, but the parking services still said I had to move my car. Why is it that, with a school of over 7,000 students, there is only one medical parking spot? There used t o be two. I knew from my past surgeries that it was difficult to get one of the two spots, but for some reason, parking took one of those spots away. I can't imagine how parking ser- vices could decide to do this. First of all, our campus is not very disabled student friendly. It is very difficult to get around when you are trying to heal, or dealing with the daily symptoms of your disability. If you are a student with a disability, or who has to have surgery, or even a student who has had some type of accident, it is not easy to get around. Why doesn't packing care about having enough medical permit spots to serve students with disabilities? The answer: If a student needs a medical/disabled parking pass for more than 14 days they can apply for a DMV permit which would give them a placard to park in handicap parking. This means anything less than two weeks and you are going to be one of the many disabled students fighting for that one spot. This may be because parking does not legally have to supply these spots; they have a choice; and here at CSUSM, they choose not to. Well, they choose to supply one. I find this deeply disheartening. In fact, it is completely ridiculous. community need to serve our disabled students to the best of our ability, students with longterm disabilities and short-term as well. We need more medical permit spots at Cal State San I found out in my last surgery Marcos! I am not asking for that I will probably never have to more parking spots, just a conhave another surgery for my dis- version, of regular student spots ease again, but I know that I am to medical spots that are close to not the only disabled student who campus and don't involve stairs. has struggled in the past to park I wonder how many disabled close to campus while recovering, students have stopped asking and I know many more will in the for medical permits when they future. I also know that many stu- needed them because of the difdents struggle with more serious ficulty they had in past experidisabilities than my own, and I ences. I wonder how many other can't imagine the frustration and students were told to move their car when it took every ounce of anger they must feel. I urge you to write letters and energy they had just to get there. send emails to parking services I wonder how many disabled demanding that we as a campus students called parking to ask Robbins Report By JASON ROBBINS Special to The Pride In a speech last week, you said "I think the worst thing that can happen for decision-makers is to get a filtered point of view." Mr. President, we agree on something. I know that you're busy with all that Commander in Chief business, but if you have a moment I'd like to f urther contaminate your understanding of current events. According to the folks that repeat stuff for money, ydu would prefer a "diplomatic" solution to the almost nuclear (translated: nukular) standoff with Iran. While diplomacy is also my preference, I want to make sure that we both understand what the word doesn't mean. The word "diplomacy" derives from the Greek word "diploma", which describes something that has been folded in half. One can trace the effects of this original meaning all the way up to modern American diplomacy. I think it was a famous gay marriage activist who, during long distance calls to his suspicious Arab lover, advocated folding the entire world into two sides—one Photo by Patrick B. Long / The Pride made up of those who are with us, and another made up of those who are against us. I digress. Clarification #1: The fact that ''diploma" describes something that has been folded into two should not compel you (in preferring diplomacy) to treat the Middle East like a piece of paper with Operation Iraqi Freedom to the right of the fold and Operation Iranian Freedom to the left. Plus placing "evils" beside a fold rather than upon an axis might confuse people. In addition to being descriptive and potentially confusing, one might also consider the word "diplomacy" to be ominous. For instance, one can arrange its letters to spell words like Modi (which means wrath in Norse Mythology), P.L.O. (which is a terrorist organization according to Israel), and malo (which means bad in Spanish). Clarification #2: The sum of diplomacy doesn't have to equal the sum of its parts. I mean, one can arrange the letters in the name George Walker Bush to spell "war loser" and "AWOL shrub". Check it out.

Here's the gist: a noble knight, Tristan (James Franco), and soon to be Queen Isolde (Sophia Myles) are born into royalty for rival countries. The stars align and fate intervenes, bringing the two together in a chance meeting some twenty or so years later. The two secretly fall in love and are then torn apart in what becomes an epic struggle between loyalty to ones' family and true love. If this story sounds vaguely familiar, then congratulations, you have a pulse! It's been done over and over and over, each time hitting the same mark as Tristan and Isolde did; a sweetly shallow love story that we will all forget about when the next version comes out next year. The movie did, however, BY AMANDA KEELEY Pride Staff Writer Hangovers.. the unpleasant side e ffect of knocking one too many back. As f un as a night of d rinking can be; no one likes the harsh reality a morning with hangover b rings. In fact the word "alone can cause one to feel nauseous. Fortunately, t here are some preventive steps t hat can be taken so as not to wake up with the dreaded hangover. Now, of course the obvious solution to preventing a hangover is not to d rink, but where's the f un in that? There are ways that one can still enjoy have its finer points and wasn't all together that unpleasant. If you promise not to tell anyone, part of me actually enjoyed the movie. Something about the cliché hope for true love conquering all is always intriguing. The moVie was filmed beautifully, and should be nominated for several awards accordingly. The lighting was masterfully captured and almost filled the romantic void between the actors. Moreover, the costumes and set designs were some of the best and most realistic I've ever seen. In every scene it seems every little detail had been thought out and organized to contribute to the greater picture. This is one of the first movies to capture the time period without exaggeration. The overall feel and mood of the movie definitely helped add to the love story, which needed all the help it could get. All the emotion for love that transcends all was there, but it felt strangely odd and out of an alcoholic beverage without s uffering for it. First o ff, i t's best to know what f actors can contribute to getting a hangover. One should never d rink while: on an empty stomach, lacking sleep, doing a physical activity or not d rinking enough water. Second, before drinking take a B vitamin complex, Better Nutrition says an active component actually has been shown to cut hangover symptoms in half. Third, d rink a glass of water before going to sleep, it helps preventing the symptoms that are caused by dehydration. Fourth, in the morning get plenty of v itamin Photo by Amanda Keeley / The Pride place. Nevertheless, if the girl the row over from me was evident of anything, this story should be good for at least a couple of tear jerking scenes. My advice for thé guys: be ready to shell out twenty bucks to take your girlfriend to a typical chick flick, and use this movie as leverage to take her to see Underworld Evolution. As for the girls, you more than likely know exactly how this movie will play out, and you won't be disappointed. You know, it's somewhat fitting that most movies about true love narrowly miss the mark. Despite their best efforts, it always seems evident that the two star-crossed lovers are after all acting for our enjoyment. Perhaps that's why we go back, time and time again, to watch this story unfold; to see if true love can actually be found. Or, maybe it's because it's the middle of January and there's nothing else to do. Either way, if you find yourself having to pick a romantic date movie, Tristan and Isolde should cater to the evening appropriately, and if you don't like it, don't worry, a new version will be out shortly with different actors who will undoubtedly find themselves lost in true love.

First doctorate offered at CSUSM BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer Cai State San Marcos now offers a doctorate degree in education. The Ed.D. in Education Leadership is offered through the College of Education. The degree is awarded in partnership with the Teacher Education program at the University of California, San Diego and San Diego State University. The program focuses on advanced training in research, professional practice, instructional practice and management within educational institutions. "The program is designed to be completed in three years, including the writing and defense of the dissertation. Each student designs a research study and during the initial two years of the program as part of the required coursework. We have designed the program to maximize the time the students have to study and engage in class work, as well as complete the dissertation. We believe the momentum of the program will strengthen the students' ability to complete the disser- Photo illustration by Jason Encabo / The Pride tation in a timely fashion," said Jennifer Jeffries, coordinator of the joint doctoral program for CSUSM. There are 18 students in the first cohort of the program. "With the inception of this program, Cal State San Marcos joins in the statewide effort to provide a deep pool of leaders who are intent on expanding educational opportunities and success for the K-12 students in our region. This program will enable the candidates to translate the best theory into practice. It reflects our on-going commitment to the surrounding educational communities," stated University President Karen Haynes. Cal State San Marcos is looking forward to joining other CSU and UC campuses in offering the Ed.D. in Educational Leadership. "This offering adds a new and compelling element to our academic mission. Our relationship with the K-12 community will be enhanced by providing this program. I look forward to seeing the contributions these doctoral students make to the body of literature about leadership, as well as to the practice of leadership in public schools," stated Cal State San Marcos Provost, Bob Sheath. The Black Student Union (BSU) along with Associated Students Inc. (ASI), the African-American Faculty/Staff Association (AAFSA), the Arts and Lecture Series, the Office of the Dean of Students, the Office of Student and Residential Life (SRL) and the Ethnic Studies program are kicking off Black History Month early with an event tomorrow, January 26, entitled "Introduction to Black History Month," in Arts 111 from 6-8 p .m.. In total there are eight events planned by the BSU and its cosponsors to celebrate Black History Month in 2005. The number of events this year is up from the five events held on campus last February. The President of the BSU Onyinyeh "Ruby" Udeh attributed the growth to an "increase in membership (in the BSU)... not because of the increase in the enrollment of African American Students at CSUSM but due to the interest and motivation of peers to celebrate with each other." Udeh expressed her goal of getting African-American students," to come together and share our thoughts and opinion on campus life," saying that she felt, "it would really make a great impact on our fellow achievers (students)." "The main thing I would want the students to do during these Black History Month events is to come out and enjoy themselves. I would like them to come out and celebrate the African Heritage nothing more, nothing less," said Udeh. Although the Black Student Union is the sponsor of this years activities, Udeh expressed gratitude towards and gave credit to the cosponsors of the event saying, "ASI, the AAFSA, the Multicultural department, our advisor Gezai, the Dean of Students Jonathan Poullard, SRL .... all have really given the BSU so much support and encouragement during all the planning of these events. They have really contributed a whole lot to make sure everything runs smoothly. Without these other organizations I don't know how the BSU could have done it."

Prior to 1976 Negro History Week was celebrated in the first week of February beginning in 1926. The Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History (ASALH) determines the yearly theme for Black History Month. This year's theme is the 100 year anniversary of the beginning of the Niagara Movement. According to the Journal of Negro History, the Niagara Movement was founded by civil rights activist W.E.B DuBois in 1905 in Niagara Falls, Canada with the goals of winning voting rights for WANTED African Americans, ending school segregation, and electing officials opposed to racism and prejudice. The movement failed to win widespread support from blacks although many of its ideas were later adopted by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) when it was founded in 1909. In 1910 the Niagara Movement officially disbanded. For more information about upcoming campus events read the Pride.

The weight room is filled with modern equipment from free weights to cardio equipment. The workout areas offer not only an up-to-date weight room but also a room for aerobics, volleyball, basketball and other activities sponsored by the Associated Student Union. Classes are offered to students on many topics such as nutrition or stress management. "We offer an array of fitness and wellness programs for students, faculty and staff," said Devan Romero, the Field House Fitness Coordinator. Romero added that she would be interested to hear from students and staff on their desire for any particular health or wellness topic for a class. These well developed classes are designed to aid students in their college life and beyond. The Field House is hosting a Wellness Fair exposition on the 9th of March, from 11a.m. to 2p.m. The fair will have vendors, health resources, food and massage tables. Throughout March, they are holding wellness seminars that focus on specified subjects with guest speakers. Also worthwhile is the availability of spaces set aside for students to hold meetings or gatherings. According to the campus website, the Field House offers plenty of space for students to accommodate group meetings and banquets. The meeting rooms can be utilized by any group or organization, with students having priority booking. With the availability of catering, the Field House is a great place to hold meeting for clubs and organizations.

There really is too much empathy within this issue to enjoy the bubbles of my soap box, but the dirt has already worked itself in between my teeth. "They publish a new edition even when they don't have much (if any) new information.. .they include some workbook or cd supplement that you never use but that greatly affects price and re-sale." These sentiments don't fester out from only myself, or you, or even the cute butt at the front of the buy-back line; they come from the proprietor of our local off-campus bookstore. What, then, does it tell you when someone who earns their bread selling textbooks lambastes the practices of the very industry that supplies their wares? It means that you are to blame. No, not the publishers, not the professors, not those pesky renaissance guys; you. It was you who went to the campus bookstore instead of E-bay, or Amazon, or the off-campus bookstore, just because it was closer is faster is 'easier'. Actually, there's a very good chance that you had to park down in the dirt, in which case the walk to the other bookstore is probably closer by both geography and topography. So you, try saying this out loud: "I'm the reason textbooks are so expensive." Put on your sunglasses or other protective eyewear first. And even if you did spit it on the man by completely circumventing the campus bookstore, I bet you didn't send a nasty package to the publisher of your latest overweight text, which you know would be much sexier if they'd trim it down to only the chapters you'll read, and even cheaper to photocopy if purged of everything you won't remember after the class. I bet you also didn't ask your professor to do more than sigh and shake their heads at how expensive and under-funded the worms in the landscaping are. These educators are cool and on your side, and that doesn't make these books any cheaper. Make sure they tell you where to get these books at cheaper used prices. Make sure they say it's okay to not have your book till a few weeks into the class and in the meantime borrow it from someone else or lean against a dark corner in the book- store. Don't photocopy it, that would be as unethical as price gouging, and that might get you in trouble if anyone from the publisher was monitoring the photocopy machines. Most of all, talk to your class to make the class make the professor promise not to use any new editions for the next four years. This isn't a currently overwhelming opponent like oil or Wal-Mart or women who want to use contraception, this is just how many keeper books you could buy with the price of one you're hoping to return. This is a PC upgrade that will be offered free in another month, this is medicine that hopes to addict you. If you bought a book at campus/full Study Abroad, it's more than just traveling BY BRIAN REICHERT Pride Staff Writer Why not challenge yourself by studying abroad in a different country? Enrolling in the California State Study Abroad Program is as easy as ever. Joining the program consists of filling out a few applications and getting personal recommendations. After that, you can choose to study in such countries as Sweden, China, Australia, Mexico, or even France. Each year, there are more student foreign exchanges opening up in all parts of the world. Studying Abroad with California State has many other advantages as well. Not only does your home campus offer more support than any other system, but it's very affordable as well. A potential student only has to pay Cal State tuition and all financial aid that they are currently receiving can be applied to all expenses. Also, this is the only program that lasts two straight semesters, so students really have a chance to get acquainted with a different culture. Jan Stockey has the title of the Cal State San Marcos Study Abroad Coordinator, here on campus. She is in charge of networking, compiling and sharing important international information, and overall recruitment for future programs. In a recent interview she stated "Most of the students tell me it's the best decision they've ever made." After an informative conversation with the coordinator who greets everyone with a warm smile, she concluded saying that "students always come back and they have wonderful stories of Photo by Elizabeth Baldwin / The Pride price then return it, now. If you think you can look your professor in the eye ask them if they benefit in any way from the sale of a text, ask them if they'd be willing to aid a boycott. Buy that text used or not at all and think back to those days when the whole class got together and took that walk, somewhere between a field trip and a bathroom break, to get their textbooks from the library. Buy it used or not at all, or become a ranting English major who has that luxury every semester. And even if someone else is paying for them, especially if someone else is paying for them, the least you can do is extend a little courtesy to this ethereal someone's very tangible checkbook. the places they've seen, the great friendships they've made, and how much they've learned about themselves. Believe it or not, these are not marketing lines; this is the actual feedback that students give me every year. I have also had the chance to study abroad through Cal State San Marcos. I can definitely say that the whole experience changed my life entirely. I had the opportunity to study in Santiago de Chile. This sprawling capital is located right next to the Andes Mountains and I had the chance to both live and learn in a culture which is definitely modern but with many great customs and traditions. I encourage everyone to study abroad at least once in your college career. You will come back with different perceptions, ideas, stories and many international friends. A fter all, it's easier than you think and you never know about something until you experience it for yourselves.

After traveling abroad I have found that debt. A few years ago the dollar is increasingly Argentina one of the most powerful nations in South loosing its value. I have noted that the USD in Chile America, at that time lost has lost 22% of its value its entire economy, because the country went bankrupt. since October 2002, the trade deficit is growing at This occurred when they a dangerous rate, and the kept borrowing money thinking and trusting that national debt is around all 1 world countries would keep loaning them money. Finally at one point the bubble burst. I don't want this to happen to us. It's becoming scary that people are losing their confidence in the dollar. President Bush constantly says he "doesn't want to push problems to future presidents or the future generations," but what we don't realize is that many times, he is creating more problems than solutions. Last week we saw a set of extravagant victory parties for the elected President. I'm not saying that this president doesn't deserve an inauguration, but 50 million is a lot of money. According to Timothy Dwyer, Washington Post Staff Writer, "The inauguration is expected st to be one of the most expensive in history." They report that the cost to us tax payers for the 3 days of events will top 50 million. I think this a bit outrageous especially since we are in "war time." The last inauguration (2001) cost 40 million which is 25% more expensive that the inauguration in 1997. So during the next few years I want all of you to be skeptical of what Bush is trying to do for the country. Especially the fiscal conservatives on this campus, ask your self, is every thing this president done worth it? Has he eliminated terrorist activity or spawned a new breeding for extremist Muslims wanting to join Al-Queda? Is taking a go it alone policy going to help us in the so-called "War on Terror"? In every solution there are always positives and negatives, but this administration seems to really dismiss the negatives very quickly. Keep asking all politicians their plans, left and right. Ask them: Is this a solution, or does it just create a lot more problems? I personally feel many actions by this government will not be beneficial to us now, tomorrow, and in the future. But it takes more than just the opposition party tofixthe problem. We the people mustriseup and demand accountability or threaten these elected officials with their jobs in 2006. �THE PRIDE Tuesday, January 25 2005 i| %a mm P M WORK WHILE YOU ATTEND COLLEGE GROW WITHIN THE COMPANY Starting Pay $8.50/HR $9.00/HR after 90 days Excellent Pay Excellent Benefits Medical, Dental, Vision, Paid Holidays/Vacation Excellent Hours M onday- Friday WEEKENDS OFF!

Photos courtesy of Rogue Pictures BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer "Assault on Precinct 13" is a clash between a cop thriller, a morality tale and occasional humor. These genres work well together and the film gives them their moments. But it also employs an old and reusable storyline which I affectionately call "The Rio Bravo Syndrome." You'll know why in a minute. Precinct 13 is an old police station ready to be torn down. A stormy New Years Eve leaves two cops and a secretary on graveyard shift. When a prison bus transfer is delayed by a highway accident, they hold up at the precinct until further notice. But one of the prisoners is a notorious cop killer awaiting trial. Suddenly, a small army tries to invade the station supposedly to free the cop killer. The cops and the prisoners team up to defend the station and deal with traitors among them. See, almost identical to the plot of "Rio Bravo." The two cops are Jake Roenick > California Pre-Doctoral Program offers fully-funded internships, sponsorships to symposiums, and application/test fee waivers?

(Ethan Hawke), a former undercover cop where his command left two of two partners dead (he now drinks and takes pills to easy his pain) and Jasper O'Shea (Brian Dennehy), a veteran on the verge of retirement. The secretary, Iris Ferry (Drea de Matteo), has a turn on for "bad ass" guys. The cop killer is Marion Bishop (Laurence Fishburne), who always has a quick cool about everything. The other prisoners are Beck (John Leguizamo), a babbling drug addict, Smiley (JaRule), a street counterfeiter and Anna (Aisha Hinds), a criminal proclaiming her innocence. Marcus Duvall (Gabriel Byrne) is the intelligent and ruthless leader of "The Facts Behind the Helsinki Roccamatios" the small army. French director Jean-François Richet, in his American film debut, knows how to use his characters. No one takes more screen time than they need to. Byrne can play any bad guy to its best, its all in his eyes. Fishburne can carry any film with just his presence. Hawke is no John Wayne, but playing the idealistic honorable cop once again (Training Day), isn't cliché or boring, just assured that he can do it and do it well. After seeing thisfilmand other recent cop films, such as "Narc," "Training Day" and "Dark Blue," the persona has changed; Hollywood has acknowledged the realism of being a cop. They are out of shape, have families that worry, struggle to pay the bills, cope with alcohol and risk their lives. For that, I am grateful.

While some students simply stick to the school cafeteria, many other options also abound and there is actually a wide range of great eateries in close proximity to campus. The first and closest restaurant you need to know about is Mr. Taco. Just a quickfiveto ten minute walk across the street, Mr. Taco is a must not only for its reasonable prices but also the fact that you do not have to lose a great parking space to go eat there. Most anything that falls in the A little further down the road on Twin Oaks Valley Road and just past the entrance for the Highway 78 is the Old Spaghetti Factory.

The private booths that are prevalent at the Old Spaghetti Factory are excellent for small groups of friends, or even a little campus romance. Whether a simple meal is what you crave, or appetizers, salad, and desert as well, the Spa- Photos by Michael Dolan / The Pride ghetti Factory is a good choice for each. The Old Spaghetti Factory can especially boast its wide range of pastas. As waiter and Cai State San Marcos senior Tom Watson notes, "everybody loves our spumoni and you can't buy it in stores!" If you don't mind a little drive, a whole host of notable restaurants can be found one exit west on the 78, off San Marcos Boulevard. The San Marcos Brewery and Grill, which is about a five-minute drive down "restaurant row" on San Marcos Boulevard, is a great micro-brewery to visit. Although the number of dishes available may not be as extensive as the Spaghetti Factory, the Brewery does offer a range of styles of food, including everything from hamburg- ers to pasta to salad and even seafood. Prices are comparable to the Spaghetti Factory, but the San Marcos Brewery does offer one thing other places near campus don't-their own beer. One brew of note is the Oatmeal Stout, which is a terrific dark beer and must for connoisseur on campus. Still, if something a little stronger is desired after a tough day of classes there are two small pubs across the street, Penny Lane and Churchill's, which are also worth a visit. Also on "restaurant row," and a good choice for lunch, is Submarina. A step above most common subsandwich chains, Submarina has a large variety of subs in three different sizes up to a foot long, with prices usually in the $5-$10 range. "The quality of our food is top notch," notes Kenda Evans who shares ownership with her husband. Independently owned from the Submarina franchise, the Evans' Submarina takes pride in its fresh food, high grade meats, and large portions. Daily specials and soups also compliment Submarina's array of subs. And country-like wooden furniture and knickknacks make it a nice atmosphere inside, as does the quick and friendly service. Mr. Taco, Old Spaghetti Factory, San Marcos Brewery and Submarina are just a few of the notable restaurants available to students on campus, but they are all definitely worth a visit. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

On May 2011, three graduation ceremonies will be held at the Mangrum Track and Field allowing seating for approximately 3,000 guests. Guests do not require tickets, but students are suggested to bring immediate family only or no more than 10 guests each. Seating is on a first come, first serve basis. Each graduate needs tofillout an RSVP form confirming attendance to walk for graduation and informing the Commencement Office of how many guests each graduate anticipates will attend. Submit an RSVP form by visiting www.csusm.edu/commencement. Although graduation may seem months away, making early preparations help the big day run smoother. Gradfest, a special "Grad only" event offers graduates cap and gown sales, photo frames for diplomas, class rings, photography packages and everything that a graduate would need. Gradfest will be held March 15,10 a.m. - 4 p.m., March 16,10 a.m. - 7 p.m., and March 17,10 a.m. 4 p.m. at the Clarke Field House in the Grand Salon. The University Store will also sell caps and gowns later on in the semester. Graduation announcements may be also purchased online through Herff Jones by visiting www.herffjones , c o m / c o l l eg t i c s u s m . Graduates earning academic honors receive a gold cord , on the day of their ceremony. These honors are calculated based on the semester prior to graduation. Overall grade point average (GPA) and institutional GPA, the lower of the two, determine eligibility for academic honors. Magna cum laude 3,70 - 3.89 Summa cum laude 3.90 - 4tOQ Ceremony schedules vary depending on major. For a complete list of times, please visit the commencement website. Though graduation inspires celebratory behavior, CSUSM prohibits the consumption of alcohol on campus property, including all parking lots.

This act would include websites both in and outside the country. This includes any site that has "no demonstrable, commercially significant purpose or use other than unlawful sharing of copyrighted material." While there is no debate on whether these sites targeted are indeed acting outside the law, there is concern that the Attorney General's ability to re- moved whatever site he deems "inappropriate" would be outside of constitutional bounds. Opposition to the bill claims it leads the U.S. down a torrid path lined with censorship. After condemning countries such as China for their regular practice of internet censorship, a bill that would allow for similar practices does not seem ideal. The largest issue with the present bill is that the criteria for examining a site is extremely broad, which gives many legitimate websites a cause for concern. The site Dropbox.com is one such company that would come under fire should such a bill be passed. Dropbox is an online storage site where users can upload and store files as an alternative to physical storage. But under this new act, Dropbox would be in violation of storing illegal copies of copyrighted material, due to random users uploading and storing thefilesusing Dropbox's services. Also at risk are revenues from ad services such as AdSense by Google. The small text ads that appear on the majority of sites now would be banned from advertising on the sites deemed illegal. As ads are Google's major source of income, the bill could have a drastic effect on the search giant's revenue stream in the years to come. While the bill has caused concern for many website admins and Internet users alike, there is little to no chance that it will be passed, or even examined, before the end for a media outlet that has been of the current session of Congress. largely unregulated until now. The most outspoken critic of the bill is Senator Ron Wyden (DOR), who described the COICA as "using a bunker-busting cluster bomb when what you really need is a precision-guided missile/' The bill's creation has been met with thunderous applause from the music and film industries, who have been lobbying for stricter control over illegal download of copyrighted material from thé government for years. Whether or not the bill passes, its inception marks a change in the relationship between government and the internet. It marks Photo courtesy of dynamicbusiness .com .au the beginning of a new era of potential censorship and regulation # �SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES BUILDING mrîfMÂL ^sSÄ New addition for CSUSM Many Cal State San Marcos students will soon find their major departments moved to the new Social and Behavioral Sciences building, including Psychology, Sociology, Communication, Mass Media, Economics and Women's Studies, according to a CSU press release.

One way to cut out unnecessary stress is to examine your diet—-reading the nutrition labels on your favorite study snacks can help you spot unhealthy amounts of sugar, fat, and sodium that can slow you down and stress you out. Many incoming students dread the inexplicable freshman 15 and seek ways to avoid gaining weight during their college career. Students do not always understand the difference between advertising slogans and actual health food. Food manufacturers label their goods with false advertisements so they can reel the consumer into buying the item. Some foods are labeled with colorful signs that read "all natural," "supports immune system," "Og trans fat" and "low in sugar." These advertisements trick the buyer into thinking the item is better for them, when in fact the item includes high amounts of other unhealthy ingredients. Of the foods that read "low sugar" there may be different forms of sugar included in the item that are unlisted in the nutritional information sidebar. "Sugar masquerades under a variety of guises, such as dextrose, fructose, concentrates, glucose... and maltose," healthy living adviser, Pooja Mottl said. The nutritional information bar does not list these added sugars, but the ingredient label does. The problem is most people do not know how to pronounce these ingredients, let alone understand what these complicated names mean for their health. "The Food and Drug • Administration (FDA) has refused to include an 'added sugars' line (in grams) within the 'sugars' section," Mottl explained. This tricks the consumer into thinking an item has less sugar than it actually does. Furthermore, terms like "all natural" are vague. What part of the product is "natural?" "Anyone can put the term 'natural' on most foods, since the FDA has no formal definition of the term and doesn't r egulate or rector of EatingWell Media Group said. When grocery shopping, students trying to stayfit/loseweight must be wary of these labels. CSUSM's Wellness Center can help you understand how to stay healthy while in school. "At the HOPE & Wellness Center, we assist students to create a plan on eating healthy and emphasize physical activity/exercising as part of that plan to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and that it's not just about losing weight," Cathy Nguyen, health and H.OPJB. & Wellness Center coordinator said. The Wellness Center is very beneficial to students who would like to formulate a healthy lifestyle. Students think many items marketed as 'healthy' are truly healthy, but the Wellness Center helps you see past that. Common 'healthy' beverages, like juices, teas and smoothies deemed better for you than a soda are actually quite the opposite "VitaminWater is actually not nutritious at all. One bottle can contain...almost the same amount of sugar in a can of C oke" Nguyen continued. "To set up success for healthy dining, students must plan ahead. Bringing food from home is always best because you can control the amount of food that you plan to eat," Nguyen added. Beware of false advertisement, portion size and foods labeled nutritious because the foods you thought were healthier choices could be cloaked in lies!

For me, that place is Oslo, Norway, the city in which my lovely girlfriend and CSUSM alumnus lives. As this trip marked my third time visiting Oslo, I began to see what the locals of this renowned city always call "the real city." Although the tourist traps tend to attract most who visit Norway, those locations still have their enchantments. Though Oslo goes unnoticed by many a Eu- Os/o ) /sfoFùOCy ropean traveler, it has become one of the most romantic places in the world. See it with someone you love—or someone you are planning to fall in love with. Aker Brygge, an area consisting of docks, former warehouses and storage buildings lining the Oslo-fjord, has become the city's center attraction. Bustling restaurants, businesses and a shopping mall have overtaken the old fishing center. A visit in the summer can land you on a posh, floating bar on the water, but a winter visit might be even more romantic: try" ordering a couple of coffees and cake—traditional Norwegian "kaffe og kake"—and have a seat outside at one of the many pa- 1 JANUARY 25TH, 2011 Photo courtesy ofMichael Rawson S e e t h e c i t y like a tios lining the docks. The booths are lined with cozy Norwegian furs and heat lamps are plentiful. Meanwhile, you are treated to a view of the snow-glazed coast and calm Norwegian sea. Norway has the world's wealthiest per-capita income, and the scenery reflects those numbers. The "T-bane," the city's subway system, features new trains built by Porsche. Sleek, elegant and very fast, the T-bane can take you across the city in no time. Even so, I have found that the Trikk— the older trolley system—can be a much more exciting way to get to your destination. Magnificent views are always abundant, featuring views of Oslo's many old Norwegian buildings and sights like Holmenkollen, the fantastic modern ski jump perched on a mountainside. If you are riding the T-bane to a restaurant, hopefully it's authentic Norwegian cuisine! The cold fish, shrimp or Brie cheese sandwiches are delicious, and sliced bread and "brunost"— brown cheese—are a must-try. I still have yet to gather the guts to taste Norwegian reindeer stew, but eating fishballs with steamed potatoes and vegetables covered in white sauce makes me feel like a local. If traditional food isn't on your menu, Oslo features some of the world's finest ethnic cuisines. This time around, we agreed that the food at Jaipur, an would enchanting Indian place right in the middle of the city served the best Indian food either of us had ever tasted. Another favorite is kabob, a late night Greek/Middle Eastern treat beloved by Norwegians though you can find kabob all across the European continent. The Norwegian people are especially quiet and reserved, but here's another detail one might not notice the first time around: They are among the nicest and most hospitable hosts on the planet. My visits to Oslo are always* "hyggileg" and "koselig:" warm, pleasant, comfortable and generally lovely.

"Fringe" (2008), created by J J . Abrams, director and creator of hit television show "Lost," and film "Cloverfield" (2008), brings the world of impossible science into reality. Character Olivia Dunham, played by gutsy blonde Anna Torv, works for the FBI, specializing in the Fringe Division, a task force focused on cases of extreme abnormality. Torv leads the show by fighting genetic mutations, a parallel universe and of course chasing bad guys *with her long blonde hair easily blowing in the wind. Sexy co-star, Peter Bishop, played by Joshua Jackson (Yes, from "Dawson's Creek"), brings out a romantic side of Torv, as the hard-edged FBI agent softens when she falls for Bishop. But viewers don't think twice about who wears the pants in the relationship, Torv definitely holds the reins. Another leading lady in prime time includes Kate Beckett, in the hit dramatic comedy, "Castle" (2009). Beckett, played by Stana Katie is a leading homicide detective for the New York Police Department. Solving crime in New York City includes plots twists that no one can anticipate. Katie plays a sharp, sarcastic and witty character that wins the heart of famous novelist, Richard Castle, played by Nathan Fillion. Fillion finds inspiration from Katie for his upcoming novel and can lighten the mood of any murder scene with comedic relief. Katie is a clear contrast from the fun energetic Fillion, but the chemistry between the two characters keeps viewers on their toes. Annie Frost knows how to keep up with the boys, as a U.S. Marshall in Dallas, Texas, Frost, played by Kelli Giddish in the high action series, "Chase" (2010). Well-known executive director, Jerry Bruckheimer, placed petite Giddish as a lead character, but don't let her feminine charm fool you. She plays a fierce female justice seeker. "Giddish stars as the lead manhunter, who can hold her own against a perp twice her size," stated a review by Variety. Texas accents and cowboy boots haunt almost every action scene, but don't expect any romance in this series, Giddish prefers to indulge in gunfights and even fist fights. In solving crime, Allison Dubois doesn't need forensic evidence. She solves crimes in her sleep. Dubois, played by Patricia Arquette, a homicide consultant working for the District Attorney in Phoenix, Arizona, uses her supernatural instincts to uncover truths about crime scenes in the popular series "Medium" (2005). Once harshly judged for her strange talent, this daring diva uses her dreams tofindculprits of despicable crimes. Dubois juggles a family life, career and her psychic abilities with cool confidence and stunning composure.

XXIII N O. 1 Companies and celebrities raising Hope for Haiti Reaching out in the wake of massive tragedy BY KRISTINA MARTINEZ Business Manager ¡See Page 2 flaws Briefs I NDEPENDENT S TUDENT NEWSPAPER Tragedy struck Port-au-Prince, Haiti on Jan. 12, 2010, when a 7.0 earthquake killed hundreds of thousands of people and injured many more. People from all over the world have expressed heartfelt help in the wake of this massive tragedy, doing their part to assist in relief efforts. From companies accepting donations to last Friday's "Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief' telethon, people are finding creative ways to help in the wake of this disaster. According to the CIA World Factbook, Haiti's population is 9,035,536. It is also one of the most densely populated and least developed countries in the Western Hemisphere. According to Haiti's ambassador to the United States, Haiti's infrastructure was among the world's worst even in the best of times. Many believe that this poor infrastructure led to the catastrophe. Calculations to determine the final deal toll on the island are pending, and authorities still do not know how many people remain buried in the rubble. According to the United Nations, more than 121 people left the rubble alive. Celebrities came together for a telethon on Friday, Jan. 22, 2010 in order to help raise money for Haiti. Celebrities like George Clooney, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson, Stevie Wonder, Zac Efron, Robert Patterson, Julia Roberts, and many other big names volunteered their time to answer phones and receive donations towards the Earthquake Relief Fund for Haiti. Rather than using their own names, they used the names oflocal Haitians who had been injured or lost in the tragedy. Many songs were performed that help people to cope with the events that happened and told a story of the process of dealing with loss. The telethon included performances of popular songs such as "Let it Be" sung by Jennifer Hudson, "Bridge Over Troubled Water" performed by Stevie Wonder, "Lean on Me" by Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban and Kid Rock, and "Hard Times No More" sung by Mary J. Blige. Other performers include Sting, Shakira, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Bruce Springsteen and Coldplay, Jay Z, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Bono, Justin Timberlake, Madonna, and The Edge of U2 . According to USA Today, the "Hope for Haiti Now" telethon set a new record at $58 million and counting with donations via the Internet, text, phone, or mail. The entire album can be downloaded on iTunes and according to MTV.com According to MTV.com, viewers may purchase the entire telethon on iTunes. In fact, the "Hope for Haiti Now" album is currently the #1 iTunes album in 18 countries. For more information about the telethon or how to donate, please visit www. hopeforhaitinow.org. Other companies are doing their part to aid in the relief efforts by donating money to the Haiti-relief organizations and allowing customers to donate money through their stores. For example, Starbucks began accepting donations at all local stores and will be giving the money to the W/KKtt^^ B^ HWedCan3I1 27tfl W Jl Ü27th © H .

According to Starbucks, com, Starbucks has pledged to donate $1 million to the Red Cross in addition to what it is able to collect from customers at its stores. Bank of America is also accepting donations for the Red Cross. Phone companies are accepting donations via text messages.

D A DVISOR J OAN A NDERSON S ENIOR STAFF WRITERS BILL R HEIN P RIDE STAFF W RITERS JAMES R OCHE BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer Less than a month into a new decade, the world experienced an outrageous tragedy. The infamous earthquake in Haiti that toppled buildings and left a devastating amount of people dead is a bleak start to the year. The fresh feeling that came with the start of 2010 may feel disturbed already, but the outreach of people around the world is astounding. The kindness shown here in America from ordinary people and celebrities is remarkable and nothing short of inspiring. The earthquake could have left the world feeling hopeless, but I believe that if current efforts continue, humanity may come out of this situation with a resolution of unity. The destruction of Haiti was a dismal sight, especially in an already impoverished nation. Yet the selfless worldwide response saved move lives from ending and provided the necessary supplies to keep survivors alive. However, the work is not done yet. If you have not donated the relief in Haiti, I wonder what you are waiting for. Sure, it is easy to ignore something that seems so far away in another country. But right now, any money that you can give is seriously needed. Ten dollars is a good start and you will not even notice it is gone in a week. Yet, that money will go so far to provide food, water, and other supplies to people who are dying right now. This is your opportunity to make a difference, and thanks to donations via cell phones, it is even easier. Hope can also come from the rebuilding process. Once the mess has cleared, continued support in Haiti can aid in establishing an infrastructure stronger than before in an effort to eliminate poverty. From there, more can be done to eliminate poverty, starvation, and homelessness around the world. I know it is an idealistic proposal, but it is not going to change any other way. Now is the perfect time to start waves of change. The ball is in your court. D uring my f irst few weeks of Senior E xperience, I w as i ntroduced to t he idea of a Group C ontract. Basically you lay out all the s trengths and weakness of t he individual group members, assign roles and expectations, and work out communication p lans and c onflict resolution. Start the process by t hinking about t he worst g roup you have worked with and the b est. Explain why. This was probably the most u seful t hing I have learned thus f ar, and I f ound myself w ondering why t his i sn't t he f irst t hing that you get assigned t o do as a group. I t hink it would be a great tool, not only for g roup p rojects but f or student clubs and o rganizations as well. How many of us have been f rustrated with t he g roup member t hat d oesn't do t heir share of t he work, but gets t he same grade and i sn't held a ccountable for h is/her actions? I know I have had my f air share over the y ears. T his s emester The Pride w ill be u sing t his concept as we c ontinue to move forward as an o rganization we are always looking f or ways to make the process even b etter. So the next t ime you have t o work with a group or r un a student organization I challenge you t o develop t his group contract t ogether and l earn exactly what it is that you want to achieve and sign it. Then you have l iving proof of t he ideas and e xpectations t hat were laid out and can go back and s ee if you achieved what you set out to achieve. I thought this was u seful knowledge and should be passed on to you the s tudents. More u seful tidbits to come in f uture issues so watch out. 2 0 1 0 m ake it count 2010. A New Decade has begun and f or many of u s it will be t he s tart of our lives away f rom college.

BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer On Jan. 19, 2009, the people of Massachusetts took to the polls to elect either Republican candidate Scott Brown or the Democrat Martha Coakley into the Senate. This particular seat had become available due to the death of Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy last year and the history of this state has made the result even more surprising. The assumption of Massachusetts as a traditionally Democratic state changed with a victory for the Republicans in the f orm of Scott Brown. Whether or not you follow politics, you are probably aware one of the main issues over the last 6 months has been healthcare r eform. Democrats have been t rying to push through a bill to radically change the country's health care system. The hope that this bill will transition into a law diminished following Republican Scott Brown's victory. President Obama has remained calm about the situation despite the Democrats losing their 60-seat majority in the Senate. This means the Republicans can now block any potential bills. He told ABC News: "The Senate certainly shouldn't try to jam anything through until Scott Brown is seated. People in Massachusetts spoke. He's got to be part of that process." Due to the Democrats losing their majority, this allows the Republicans to have a greater influence on healthcare reform then they would have had if Scott Brown had not won. According to CNN.com some Democrats are planning to focus on less controversial aspects such as stopping insurers from banning people based on pre-existing conditions. Healthcare reform is still very high on the public's minds with 36% of people naming it the top story they follow in the news and 44% of people saying they follow the debate closely according to a survey by the Pew Research Center. This debate rages on past the 6-month mark, and has gone through so much discussion f rom President Obama's speech to the well-publicized public town hall meetings. The main point is that America has never been closer to changing its healthcare system. Regardless of senatorial support, lowering the costs of health insurance and stopping insurers from refusing service to those with preexisting conditions reads like a good idea.

For those that might remember, I started here as News Editor back in 2007 and moved up to the Managing Editor spot for most of 2008. After taking a year off to serve as President of the Great Zeta Beta Tau fraternity in 2009,1 was asked to resurrect the News section. It's what I do best and I couldn't be happier to be get back to where my love for journalism first came to fruition. I'm eager to shake off the dust and step back into this exciting and volatile atmosphere so r eadyfor a big turn around in 2010! Welcome back! This is my fourth semester as your Business Manager here at The Pride and my last. I will be graduating with my Bachelors in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing on May 15,2010 which is exactly 108 days from now. (not like I'm keeping count or anything) I am married to the guy who has the same last name as me.. ..hmmm which one of the editors could it be? We have been married just about 4 months now, it's crazy how time just flies on by. We have the most awesome dog, Harrison, he's a Westie and for those of you who don't know what a Westie is.. .well you are definitely missing out! I am a really compassionate person and enjoy talking with people...so if you see me around campus say hi. Let me know what you want to see out of YOUR Student Newspaper because at the end of the day we are here for you, the students. My name is Amy and I'm the Editor in Chief with the lovely Sandra Chalmers for my fifth (yes, fifth) semester at The Pride. I'm in the second half of my junior year as a 21-year-old Literature and Writing major, but I've yet to convince my professors to teach any of Lawrence Ferlinghetti's work, which is astounding considering how fantastic the man's poetry is. I like cats, Qoffee, and cosmology, but hate driving and leaving voicemails. And I think listening to (and . enjoying) Radiohead should be a law. I also think Ben's bio is way better than mine. �Features THE PRIDE Jf H elf|l My name is Sandra Chalmers and I am working closely with my friend Amy Salisbury as we together are the new Editors in Chief for The Pride Student Newspaper. I have been working with The Pride since the fall of 2008 as a staff writer then progressed as an assistant Features editor to my most recent position as Arts and Entertainment editor last semester. Writing and journalism is one of my favorite things along with coffee, muffins and Panera. Bill This is my sixth semester with The Pride, and if everything goes well, I will be graduating this spring with a degree in Literature and Writing. From there I hope to get my teaching credential and teach high school writing, as well as writing non-fiction on the side. For now, I look forward to continuing my weekly column and writing for art and entertainment.* On the more interesting side, I grew up in Buffalo, NY, but moved here to start college when my dad got a job transfer. Thus, I have an affinity for chicken wings, or as the locals call them, just wings. In my free time, I enjoy watching Western and sci-fifilms,being with my beloved girlfriend of more than three years, and preparing for the zombie apocalypse. Rudif Well hello there. My name is Rudy. I'm your Layout Editor. You're probably thinking "Wow... this looks like a kindergartener drew this! I think my dog (or cat, hamster, turtle, elephant, fish) could have done a better job!" Did I nail it? No? oh well... guess I should give up my other job as a psychic. Anyways, this is my final semester, that means I get a fancy piece of paper that says I graduated with a degree in business administration with an emphasis in Management Information Systems in 2010 from Cal State San Marcos, or something like that. Either way I'm way stoked. I also work on campus in the IITS department and hope to pursue a career^in^either doing graphic design (hey don't judge me on my stick figured t teve other work!), or something in the IT field. Last semester I got married to Kristina (yes, that one right [well, left] over there) last semester in October, I also can't wait until we graduate so we can finally go on our honeymoon! In my free time I enjoy taking random day trips to various places in So Cal with Kristina and our dog Harrison, going to Disneyland and playing video games (add me on Live Rudyx760). This was actually much more than I had anticipated on writing, which is fine for me, you don't have to keep reading. You could have stopped after "hello," but thanks for sticking with it. I really enjoy laying out the news paper, and look forward to doing the last issues. With that said, I am looking for a replacement, so if you enjoy designing stuff and at least are fairly familiar with Photoshop and Illustrator, email me at pridelayout@gmail.com or stop me around campus. Tuesday, January 26, 2009__Q �ó Sports Tuesday, January 26, 2 0 0 9 THE PRIDE I C al State S an M arcos Softball: 2 010 season preview BY KYLE TREMBLEY Cal State San Marcos softball is coming home. For the three years of its existence, CSUSM softball has played and practiced at Mission Hills High School. Though the field is j ust a few minutes f rom campus, and hundreds of f ans have showed up for big home games, the team has never enjoyed a t rue home-field advantage. Until now. Head Coach Dave Williams, who joined the University last summer, made completing the field on campus his top priority f rom day one. With help f rom the Athletics Department and generous contributions f rom parents, companies, and community members, the long-planned field was built f rom the ground-up in j ust a few short months. Located on campus j ust behind the Clarke Field House in the University's large dirt " front yard," the tentativelynamed CSUSM Softball Field will play host to every softball home game this year - 24 total games across 12 home dates, s tarting on January 30th. As for the team that will call the field home, Coach Williams is confident that this year's veteran-heavy squad has the talent and experience necessary to earn the program's first trip to Nationals. He would know - a fter taking over as Head Coach at Point Loma in 1998, his teams posted seven 40-win seasons, t hree 50-win seasons, and two NA1A National Runner-Up finishes. Under Williams, Point Loma has placed in the top-10 at Nationals every year since 2001, and took f ifth last year. For the Cougars, last year was the program's most successful to date. The squad went 34-23, earning a trip to the A.I.I. Conference Tournament and making it all the way to the finals before being defeated by the University of Houston - Victoria. CSUSM finished the season ranked #20 nationally. While the home game setting will be entirely different in 2010, Cougar f ans will recognize most everyone t aking the field. T hanks to the youth on last year's team, only two of the squad's sixteen players are newcomers. It's no secret that softball starts with A DVERTIZING I S E ASY AS 1-2-3 1. C HOOSE A D SIZE. 2 .

The j unior righty throws with pinpoint control and excellent movement. In 2009, Sandberg went 11-6 with a 1.52 ERA in 110.1 innings pitched. She struck out 94 batters and surrendered j ust 8 walks, and was an All-Conference selection. "Brenna is a legitimate #1 pitcher," commented Coach Williams. Perhaps Sandberg's most impressive trait is that she rises to the level of competition. In 2009, she posted wins over #1 Cal Baptist and #2 Point Loma; and in the fall, she allowed j ust one unearned r un over seven innings to San Diego State, a top-25 NCAA Division I team. Joining Sandberg on the mound will be a pair of veteran pitchers for the team. Ciera Ashman, a top-of-the-lineup hitter and everyday outfielder, showed signs of tremendous talent last season in limited work. The sophomore l efty was 3-2 with a 2.44 ERA on the year in 37.1 innings pitched. "Ciera had moments of brilliance in the fall," said Williams. "If she develops consistency, she will be very good." Junior Chanel Rose should also get her first chance at extended playing time on the mound. The j unior righty was 2-1 with a 2.47 ERA in 22.2 innings pitched in 2009. "Chanel's velocity has improved, and she's working on her changeup," noted Williams. "She j ust needs experience." In the field, the crucial catcher position will be handled by j unior K imi Villalpando. Villalpando saw limited action last season, but Coach Williams loves her technical skills behind the plate. "The number one j ob for a catcher is to catch the ball, and Kimi is the best I 've seen in years," said Williams. "Her hitting really picked up in the fall as well." Also seeing time behind the plate will be Tasha Stokes and Mimi K rutein. Stokes, a senior, is "consistent, confident, and a clutch hitter," according to Coach Williams; while Krutein h as one of the strongest arms on the team, and is working on her footwork and hitting. At first base, multiple h ard-hitters may see playing time. Junior Lauren Nelson, coming o ff a breakout season in which she hit .345 and was second on the team with 25 RBI, figures to b e an everyday presence in the middle of the lineup. She was an A ll-Conference selection in 2009. Newcomer Erin Emde may play first as well. The senior transfer batted in the middle of the lineup for NCAA school UC Davis last season, and should be a big-time bat for the Cougars. A high school pitcher, Emde may also see time on the mound. Fellow newcomer Sandra Rodriguez will get her chance as well. The l efty f reshman t ransferred f rom Cal State Fullerton, and demonstrates excellent athletic ability and maturity beyond her years, according to Coach Williams. And Alyssa Dronenburg, who may play outfield or first base, will once again provide the pop in the Cougar lineup. An All-Conference selection as a t rue f resh- man in 2009, Dronenburg led the team with a .348 batting average, 10 home r uns, and 33 RBI. "Alyssa is a legit #4 hitter with tremendous power and good athletic ability," said Coach Williams. " I love her intensity - she is really serious when the game is on." At second base, super-steady Erica Coelho will continue to patrol the spot she's played since the program's first-ever season. The senior started 50 games last season, hitting .273 with 23 RBI. She will likely be batting behind the big middle-of-the-lineup hitters, so expect that RBI total to surge. Junior Shanti Poston will b e moving f rom third to shortstop t his season, where she'll continue t o be a regular in the lineup. Nicknamed " Hoover" for her defensive prowess, Poston was a rock at third base last season, and Coach Williams believes her skills will translate to the crucial shortstop position. "Shanti is a great all-around athlete who fields the ball very well," noted Williams. At third, then, will be Ashley Estepa. The sophomore came to CSUSM as a second baseman, moved to left field in 2009, and will now b e back in the infield this spring. Though not necessarily an imposing figure at the plate, Estepa packs a surprising amount of pop, h itting .270 with 2 home r uns and 23 RBI last season. Coach Williams likes her potential at t he new position. "Ashley has very quick feet and very good hands," he said. " She'll develop into a really good infielder." In centerfield, Elizabeth Bush begins her f ourth year as a starter for t he Cougars. She'll be a "good, strong, athletic p resence" in both t he field and at the plate, according to Coach Williams. Bush will j oin Ashman at the t op of t he lineup, where Williams is calling on t hem to combine to produce at least one r un per game. When f ans last saw Alicia I ngram, she was playing shortstop and b atting right handed. This year, t he sophomore w ill be a left-handed slap hitter playing outfield. She brings tremendous speed t o t he lineup, and excellent range and an accurate a rm to t he outfield. Senior Lindsey Preovolos will play in the outfield as well, moving f rom the catcher spot she's been in since the p rogram's inception. A team leader, Preovolos has been a good clutch h itter for t he squad for the last t hree years. All together, this y ear's Cougar lineup should be balanced nicely with speed at the top and bottom (Bush, A shman, and Ingram), power in the middle (Nelson, Dronenburg, and Emde), and solid contact h itters throughout. With so m any r eturners, Coach Williams expects the t eam to gel quickly into a force in the N AI A. "I expect to be in Decatur, A labama in May for Nationals," stated Williams, "and our goal is to compete in t he Elite 8 " While the t eam will have t o e arn the right t o travel to Decatur, they at least know that t his season, for t he first t ime, they have a field to t ruly call home. �Arts & Entertainment THE PRIDE Tuesday; January 26, 2 0 0 9 INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER * ^¡ANT y Are you looking to get more involved?

Broken water valve causesfirein Academic Hall By ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride StaffWriter By JONATHAN RODLEY Pride StaffWriter The frequent routine of repairing busted water pipes at campus sparked a cause for alarm Wednesday, when flooding shorted circuits in Academic Hall igniting a fire. University Police evacuated the building and called for firefighters to come, nobody was hurt. This is the second time that broken water pipes have caused a closure at Academic Hall, the largest classroom building. In spring 2003, part of the building closed due to flooding. At a school with miles of water and electrical valves, there are of thousands of places where systems can fail, said Chuck Walden, director of facilities services. Wliile his crew repaired the valve, they saw sparks inside the wall of the men's third floor bathroom. To get to the glow, they cut a hole in the wall and found a fire. By that time, the heavy smell of burnt rubber floated through the third floor and two fire alarms were pulled. Olaf Hansen, a math professor, said it took five minutes to evacuate from the fourth floor. "It was really calm," he said.

The California State University system (CSU) will experience a 20 percent decrease in state support j n two years if Gov. Schwarzenegger's proposed budget is approved by the Legislature this summer. The proposed budget will cut approximately $240 million from the CSU and would, once again, increase student fees. The California Faculty Association (CFA) has produced a summary analysis of how the proposed budget cuts will affect the CSU. Included in the summary is the impact on student fees and financial aid. The CFA's primary concerns are the decreasing enrollment, elimination of student success programs, student - teacher ratio, and the likely loss of teachers, courses, and/or library services. "The last thing California can afford right now is a cut to the CSU/' said John Travis, CFA president and a government professor at Humboldt State University. State Treasurer Phil Angelides will start visiting CSU campuses Jan 20 to call attention to the proposed budget and how it will affect the CSU system and the impact it will have on California's economy. "The CSU infuses billions each year into the California economy and produces tens of thousands of educated and productive workers each y ear/' said Travis. For more information on Gov. Schwarzenegger's proposed 2004/05 budget or to see the CFA's 10-page analysis go to: www.calfax.org/reseach.html.

The Environmental Action Group (EAG) has been gathering support for the requirement by getting signatures around campus. "We have close to 600 signatures so far," said Didi Lund, ASI arts & science representative. The next step for the environmental requirement will be for the Academic Senate to approve it.

What started as a family trip to Home Town Buffet Saturday, abruptly halted when a woman in a grey sedan struck their minivan. Though no one in the By MELISSA RODRIGUEZ Pride StaffWriter The CSUSM nursing program, set to be operational by fall 2006, has received a $350,000 federal appropriation thanks to Congressman Randy Cunningham (R-San Diego), a member of the House Appropriations Committee. The funds are part of the FY 2004 Omnibus Appropriation bill passed by the U.S. Senate on Jan. 2 2,2004. "I am proud to support the community coalition established at Cal State San Marcos to address San Diego County's nursing shortage by providing this $350,000 in federal funding through the FY2004 Omnibus Appropriations Act," Cunningham said. The money was requested by CSUSM to support the expenses of developing a nursing bachelor's degree program. If all goes as planned, by 2008 the first graduates of the program will be able to enter the workforce helping to alleviate local and national need for health care professionals. "As in hospitals all across the country, patients are facing longer waits, postponed surgeries, and fewer available staffed beds as a result of the nursing shortage. This program will train a new generation of nurses to serve our region," Cunningham said.

There will be 175 less students accepted compared to Spring 2003, Campus officials say that the controls have been effective in limiting enrollment. Although, there was a 45 percent increase in applicants to CSUSM from fall of last year, registration rates have dropped. "The demand is clearly there," said Francine Martinez, vice president of Student Affairs. "But as the state reduces our funding, we are forced to limit admissions."

By SARAH CARLIN Pride StaffWriter As this semester's features editor, and I hope to incorporate national and international events into The Pride. This semester in the features section, we will host a column in which The Pride, along with the help of its readerships will explore national and international events. This week the topic of discussion deals with Hie exploration of Mars. I, who am personally skeptic of my own generation, was pleasantly surprised by the careful thoughts and insights of the fellow students I talked with. I have and always will, thought it important that we know what each other think about issues of importance. We live in important times, as will those who live after us. If you have an opinion you wish to express, or an event you would like to explore with us, e-mail the pride@csusm.edu (ATTN: University Voice). Please enjoy knowing this semester, though our column, what we learn from you. Brett Gladys Math major Senior What kind of benefits do you foresee with space exploration? I think, I mean, what the benefits of it are a greater understanding of the world we live in. It is a lot better to have scientific backing for what you believe than to believe blindly in something. To have some sort of facts to back things up is sort of nice. Do you think that exploration on Mars is important? Why or why not? I think if life somehow evolved to some extent on another planet, it would help us understand how it evolved on ours and if it evolved a different way. Maybe not using DNA the way ours is. It would be interesting and kind of lead us in the right direction of, and understanding of how we came to be. Do you think there are any political implications with exploration on mars? I am not so sure about the politics of Mars; the moon on the other hand is I think the proverbial lifting of the leg and pissing on everything to mark your territory. General comments? I think there are unseen advantages. I think that the Galileo was the satellite that saw the comet that hit Jupiter and we didn't know that was going to happen when we sent it out there. There could be unexpected benefits that we don't know about. I'm sure that political motives drive billions of billions of billions of dollars being spent, but there are other advantages there. Amber Davis Literature and Writing Studies major Senior What kind of benefits do you foresee with space exploration? I think it put people's minds to rest to have actual proof instead of just theories like we always had. Theories that the world was round, but we never actually proved it until we went to space. We've only known for fact that the world is round for the past sixty years, right? Maybe we had theories about Mars and other places like that, but now we can maybe put people's minds to rest, and have actual proof and data. Do you think that exploration on Mars is important? Why or why not? I think it is another place for man to go. It is the next natural place for us to go besides further into the ocean. We've seen what there is on land and earth, so why not go further? Do you think there are any political implications with exploration on Mars? Maybe so that we can say that we were the first ones to do it. Wasn't it the United States and Russia that had the race to get to the moon first? The same type of thing. Feel superior to get there first. General comments? I think probably money could be spent other places, put to better use. Conquering Mars and searching on Mars isn't going to solve any problems that we have. Did it really help anything? There are other things we could be doing. The whole education thing, and budget cuts, and people are going to Mars. It's kind of funny.

Misadventures in the new Kellogg Library By SARAH CARLIN Pride StaffWriter It's spacious, has lots of windows and a great view. No, this isn't the description of a seaside resort available for leasing in La Jolla, but the new technologically savvy Kellogg Library. Isn't it the best when you start a new semester and there is a new building? This semester all of us are being greeted with a new library. The new Kellogg library is 200,000 square feet of caffeinated f un and adventure. Last Tuesday, January 20, the library opened its doors to the campus community. Checking out the new library was the first thing I did when I arrived on campus. Construction dust continues to settle during the library's first week of being open, and temporary signs guide students where and where not to go. Some of the signs are a little confusing, not everything is up and running and elevator access is a little barring. Taking the elevator to the first floor is sort of interesting. You step off of the blue back-dropped elevator into what feels like a psychiatric wing of a hospital. It smells of linoleum glue and the fluorescent lights hum. There aren't any windows here and there isn't much to see other than the writing center, math lab and classrooms full of students, lots of students. We went up to the second floor and meandered our way through the books and computer lab, getting a bit lost when we reached the deadended hallways which are home to all of the new, not-yet-completed, conference rooms. We found our way out though, not to worry, and then, there it was, what I really wanted to find most of all—the media library. I owe some late fees at the video store in my town, so I have been hesitant to go in for a while. It is always nice to go where the rentals are free and you keep the video for a week. After feeding my film fix, my friend and I got on the elevator to take us to the third floor; the doors began to close when a man hopped in. He saw that we had already pressed the third floor button and relaxed against the cloth-covered wall of the elevator. We were all waiting for the doors to shut and begin moving up to the next floor. The doors began closing then reopening. A woman in her early twenties entered the elevator. She pressed the button for the first floor. We smiled. "Is this the first floor?" asked the woman to the man. "No, no, I think this is the second floor. The main entrance is on the See LIBRARY, page 5 Campus police, and programs offered By NICOLE SULLIVAN Pride StaffWriter Officer Carla Kayyon hopes that in the third week of February she can host a date rape and sexual assault class at the University Village Apartments or the Field house. She wants the class to be comfortable and with food and a discussion type setting and is open to everyone. Officer Kayyon was hired in March and is excited to see the things that will take place on campus. Last semester the university police offered two Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) workshops which teach women about rape awareness, prevention and self defense tactics. The University police want to offer more RAD workshops this semester. This spring the university police wants to have a DUI booth with sight impaired goggles and sobriety tests. Chief Schulteis said, "We have two goals here as the campus police. One, is to protect the community by enforcing the law and keeping the education process uninterrupted. And, two, we want to teach the community how to better protect themselves from crime and hazards." Chief Schulteis also said that he wants more officers to get specialization certificates, which can aid the community about awareness. More workshops like RAD, date rape and sexual assault, alcohol awareness programs and selfdefense workshops will be offered. Campus police also offers an escort service. A Community Service Officer (CSO), or an officer, will assist anyone to their car by simply calling extension 4567 at any one of the blue emergency phones located on campus. The escort service is there for anyone who needs it. Whether you're feeling ill, afraid to walk out to your car late at night or locked your keys in the car, a CSO or officer will be there to escort. \Officer Alex Mohn said, "We want to provide a better learning environment for the students and we want them to be able to come to school and not feel threatened. We don't want them to be afraid to call us and ask for an escort service. We want everyone to know that we are here to help the students and faculty." �L IBRARY from page 4 thirdfloor,"said the man. The woman said, "God, I was just asking a question." "Well, uh, I mean, uh, I think that the first floor is down and we are going to the third floor, which is the main level. Maybe that is the level you want." His tone was not sarcastic. He was probably being more helpful to someone who has serious anger issues than he needed to be. And then we all stood there in uncomfortable silence. I looked over at my friend and gave him the 'she is a psycho' face. He agreed. I then looked over and gave the man the same look. He responded by signaling to me with the 'I have no idea what just happened here' look. We all stood there in uncomfortable silence. We all arrived on the third floor. "I was just asking a fucking question. You fucking dick," said the woman. She seemed sort of flustered and tripped a little over the threshold as she exited. "I don't know what I said," said the man. "Hell if I know," I said. "But I know a certain someone who needs to not do lots of drugs before coming to school." We all had a good chuckle and walked off in separate directions. The woman on the elevator seemed frustrated. I can only assume she was frustrated because she was lost and not because of the answer she got to her question. P ILI© OR FIRST FLOOR: Maybe she was lost because not all posted in the ' RESTROOMS library are perfectly clear, yet. My friend and I prior to getting on the elevator were lost ourselves. Even a staff member we saw on the asylum-esque first floor warned us in passing not to get lost because it was easy to do. Her frustration does not, however excuse her bitchy demeanor.

ByTORFREED Pride StaffWriter pondered their break. Kim said she didn't feel like she did anything at all, but upon further questioning the truth came out. "I went to L.A. and I went to Venice and If there's one thing this last week has taught CSUSM students, it's that the winter I.. .1 bought a bong," she said.

It's a chance to stash some cash towards the angina causing bookstore bill and the car payment size parking permit. Yolanda Miranda, senior, liberal studies, said it all with only a look when asked what she did over the break. "Just worked," she said. That's it? Nothing else? When the question was posed again the answer was the same. Miranda Chad Frank and Alicia Duwey did offer an extraordinary amount of find out exactly what did they do over the knowledge on men's suits and a few places to buy them, but that reflects how she pays semester break.

Chad's friend, Alicia Duwey, junior, communications, did nothing so exciting, but set herself up for future good times by moving from Escondido to Solana beach. "I wake up in the morning and I go ahhh. I drive home, and I go ahhh." In between her move Alicia found time for some much needed partying because as she said, "You have to get it all out." Friends Kim Raymon and Jenna Hill Ella DeSantis She works for an advertising firm and lives in a nice neighborhood downtown. When asked what she did, the reply was familiar, "I worked to pay for school and living expenses." By the time the next break rolls around, you'll find CSUSM students doing roughly the same as thé ones featured here. Some will take off on exciting vacations; Europe, Mexico, Hawaii, anywhere fun. Others will see some family and stay local, work summer jobs, maybe part-time, and bal- ance that with beach bonfires and trips to P.B. or their local watering hole. Others still will continue to work their full-time jobs but will have the stress of college temporarily removed and hopefully, find time to sneak away once in a while for a f un night out and some well deserved R&R. �%MKHAELDCEAN M ie Ombudsman Many things are new on campus this semester; The new Starbucks in the new Kellogg Library establishes a foothold for corporate America on our campus.

Schwarzenegger's proposed budget for the CSU By Cal St Univ Chancellor CHARLES B. REED Welcome to a new term at the California State University. I hope everyone had good holidays and that you are looking forward to your new classes. There have been significant developments on the state budget front, and I want to take this opportunity to bring you up to date on what we know about the CSU budget. As Governor Schwarzenegger's proposal makes its way through legislative hearings, we will need all of your help communicating with legislators to make sure that adequate funding is available so that the CSU can continue to offer highquality education to all of its 409,000 students. The governor proposed cutting $240 million or 9 percent from the California State University system for the 2004-05 fiscal year. This will potentially limit student access by approximately 20,000 students if the cuts are implemented as proposed. This new cut, combined with the 2003-04 General Fund budget cut of the critical role we play in the state's eco$531 million, means that our budget has nomic health. been cut in the past two years by $771 You probably have read or heard about million or a 28.8 percent reduction in state the governor's proposal to increase support for students. undergraduate fees by 10 percent, which .

Ifyou would like more information about the CSU's 2004-05 budget, please visit our website at http://www.calstate.edu/ BudgetCentral/index.shtml. The state budget crisis has created significant challenges for the CSU. We are focused on ensuring that our enrolled students get the courses they need to graduate. And, the CSU remains committed to its mission of providing a high-quality, accessible higher education for our students. To continue to do so, we need all 409,000 students and 44,000 faculty and staff to convey a simple fact: that the CSU is working for California. We need everyone to talk about what a CSU education means, and what would happen if quality, access and affordability disappear from the California State University. We cannot let that happen. �m By DANIELLE BOLDT Pride StaffWriter A glass of sangría, the sound of the Brazilian drum, and the décor and ambiance of a typical Euro-Latin club makes it seem as if you are actually there, in Brazil. What better way to spend a Sunday night than to samba dancing at Café Sevilla? With good company at my side, my boyfriend Eric, and I tried to break the Sunday night monotony so we ventured off to the Gaslamp district downtown. There, we found ourselves at Café Sevilla on Fourth Avenue. Perhaps it was the Spanish tapas that we recently tasted in Sevilla's dining room that lured us back. We paid a $7 cover fee upon entering the club. Dance lessons had already started but we decided to join the fun, We could not help but laugh at the others and ourselves as we imitated a lady wearing a pink halter and bells on her hips. Moving to the rhythm twice as fast as most modern dance moves, we tried our best to catch on to the samba choreography. Believe it or not, there is a proper way to shake your hips, and the variations of hip shaking are what make the samba come alive. It is possible that the instructor's bells contributed to the liveliness as well. The fast paced, Latin soundtrack that we followed was very conducive to making the dance come alive. After about twenty minutes we were already improvising the steps and adding our own spice to the dance. It was refreshing to see that the others who surrounded us came in all different shapes, sizes, and levels of experience and confidence. An older gentleman brought his stuff with absolutely no concern for some comic relief with his bravado.

There is nothing like sangria, a refreshing blend of vino rojo, berries and apples, to compliment the evening. To our surprise, the band consisted of seven drummers. What kind of band is this without a keyboard, guitar, trumpet, or some type of instrumental variation? We waited in suspense as we began to doubt Brazilian night and wonder if we came to the club on the wrong night. The music did not sound like the upbeat Latin tune that we had heard on the soundtrack to "Woman on Top." It was a strange sort of culture shock that came over us, as we began to hear what was so unfamiliar. It sounded like a tribal dance. Evidently, the others around us felt the same way, as nobody except for the goofy old man and an unusually ecstatic lady were dancing. After the first couple of songs, the beat of the drum began to grow on us, as we found our way shaking across the floor, with about thirty to forty others. With the exception of a couple of cocktail sessions in between, Eric and I found it difficult to refrain from dancing. We agreed that it had truly been an enjoyable experience. No, it was not the typical samba music that we followed in the previous hour, or the sound and movement of Carmen Electra, but we experienced a Brazilian club without actually purchasing a plane ticket.

During his visit Chen will host a screening of his film S am C hen "Eternal Gaze," and he "will conduct eight workshops on the creative process of animation. The screening, which is free and open to the public, will be held on Monday, Feb. 2 in Arts 240. The computer-animated 16 minute film created by Chen, with music by composer Jamey Scott, is the winner of numerous accolades including the Best Animation award at the Siggrapph 2003 ClryAZ^E » A. • O ' & E THE PRIDE Award winning animator brings film and expertise to CSUSM I T -- M S Electronic Theater. Animation has been a medium often reserved for the fantastical stories of inhuman creatures. "Eternal Gaze" is different. This film chronicles the life of a real man. Chen's film pays homage to Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) a brilliant twentieth century surrealist sculptor, painter and draftsman who never received the acclaim of his contemporaries. In a statement Chen said, "With careful attention to historical facts and details, the works of art featured in this film are nearexact digital reproductions from Giacometti's lifework.. .But most of all, 'Eternal Gaze' is a heartfelt story and a loving tribute to one of the greatest but least recognized artists of our time." Giacometti, like many artists, suffered from a tormented mind. It gave him the inspiration and talent to create. At the same time, it frustrated him to the point of destroying his art when he felt he could not achieve his artistic vision. While giving us a look into the artist's mind and environment, "Eternal Gaze" illustrates the passionate relationship between the creator and his creation. Giacometti's sculptures were his love. In this film Chen givQS those sculptures the life they need to love him back. For an opportunity to learn from Chen, students, staff and faculty should contact Kristine Diekman at kdiekman@csusm.edu to reserve a seat in the workshops he will be hosting. Chen will be sharing his knowledge of story and character development, storyboarding and how to study human movement in order to animate it.

While the subject of sex may be considered taboo or in bad taste to openly discuss, knowledge is essential for those of us that are sexual beings, a.k.a. everyone! Yes, we are a university full of sexual beings: heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, etc. And no matter the views that one may have on the subject, safety is the number one concern when discussing this matter/activity. Now, I'm not saying that I am the severely younger/taller version of Dr. Ruth, but I am more of an open ear, willing to listen, discuss, and provide some humor to this. The (scholarly) Uneducated Introduction to Human Sexuality: Depo-Provera That being said, let's discuss a personal experience that this writer recently had. In the onset of the current semester, I was particularly excited for the start of my first Human Sexuality course (Psychology 352)...ever! Dare I say, more excited than a thirteenyear-old boy before his much anticipated first sexual experience? But with the eagerness of this new "sexual encounter" came the depressing thought of opening the awkward condom of homework. Indeed, I was expecting homework, but I was hoping for a more experience-based assignment: Such as writing an essay based on the most unorthodox place one has had intercourse. Mine would have been about "doing it" in the back of a 67' El Camino... if it were true. But nay, this first assignment, like all relationships, is based on potential experiences. What will you do, where will you be in five years? I'm sure that your first answer wouldn't be to be inflicted with an STD. Even though those particular situations aren't the most popular to mention, nonetheless, these events occur. And sure enough, Contact us here at The Pride Student Newspaper LOCATION: CRVN3500 / PHONE: 760-750-6099 / EMA!L:CSUSMPRIDE@GMA!L.COM was m y first assignment, to study the financial, emotional, political, etc effects of dealing with a situation that may not be planned. These events ranged from contracting an STD to a family/ friend being arrested for a sexual misdemeanor. I'll be honest, I was hoping for something emotional, yet left room for information and self-enlightenment.. .like gonorrhea. I figured I could perform an entire Shakespearean opera based on a severe burning sensation one receives when they pee. But instead, my situation consists of researching the effects and potential side effects of a particular contraceptive known as DepoProvera. According to its official website (depoprover.com), Depo-Provera is an injection that women may choose to take every 11 to 13 weeks which prevents pregnancy for 3 months. Imagine that? Never again will you partner have to fumble with that hard-to-open condom wrapper, which leads me to mention, a condom is NOT a bag of Doritos. You can't simply pull it open, I suggest a tearing motion to effectively open your new fashion piece, but I digress. While this injection may effectively prevent pregnancy, it does not protect against HIV or any other sexually transmitted disease. Side effects include menstrual irregularities, pregnancylike symptoms, weight changes, and depression. Along with these side effects, prolonged use of Depo-Provera could result in significant loss of bone density. While the side effects may be significant compared to the convenience of not having to remember to take a pill everyday, like all contraceptives, it is a matter of choice and what works best for the individual. Even with all the great choices, keep in mind that abstinence is the only sure fire method of knowing you are safe and protected. But no matter what your views on sex, remember, be safe, be healthy, and have fun! îùusruoK x cm two rue . Ttmro/mwe* ALL My FAU MAIL. voummrr HOBKSOFOR MW/$rucmrr PAPCÍ& BCFOfZe, tíAVt YOU?

C SUSM wants Y OU ( and your money)! BY JASON GANAVARIS Pride Staff Writer BY JAMES SEBRING Pride Staff Writer On Tuesday, the first day of school, I started the new semester off by receiving a $50 parking ticket. Like many students, I did not buy my parking pass online. For the last 6 semesters I have opted to stand in line for an hour or so during the first week of school to buy my parking pass in person. In that time, I have never been issued a ticket for parking in one of the general lots without a valid parking pass. Tuesday was different. Considering that the number of f ree and metered parking spots on campus is dwarfed by the number of students who would need to use them to comply with parking laws, it would be next to impossible for students to follow the rules in the first week of school. With construction closing down the northern parking lot, j ust finding an open parking spot on the first day of the semester was like winning the lottery. The line of cars waiting for the drive-through parking pass machine in the Markstein lot alone stretched well past the Lot E traffic light Tuesday morning. A good friend of mine, who was also issued a parking ticket, was standing in line at the Transportation Services office waiting to buy a parking pass when his parking ticket was issued. Parking enforcement, in their enthusiasm, has lost their sense of good judgment. Students are not trying to cheat the system. A vast majority of student drive to campus, which requires them to purchase a parking pass. The Parking and Commuter Services Department would not miss out if they allowed a grace period for students like me to buy their parking passes. Paying a $50 ticket on top of a $250 pass is a slap in the face if you are ineligible to appeal the ticket. If you feel you have wrongly been issued a parking ticket, I suggest you try to appeal your ticket with the Parking and Commuter Services Department. Their contact number is (760) 750-7500, and their office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm in FCB-107. I had suggested to the Administration that it would be a nice gesture to have a Parking Permit Moratorium thefirstweek, since students who are buying passes are going to pay anyway, and it would be nice to give them a few days to purchase the pass. I thought it would be a nice break for the students scurrying to their new classes in the rush of excitement, bewilderment and frustration that seems to happen those first days with so many trying tofindparking, classes and all the things associated with the start of a new term. Other colleges do it, so why not us? I mistakenly thought that it would not cost them all that much, then I realized very early this morning (2:30 a.m) that there was a great deal ofmoney to be made, $5 to $7 per student for a temporary pass... times maybe 1000 students. Ouch! As it turns out, Tuesday likely brought in about $6000 in day-pass money and probably more on Wednesday. The responsefromparking services was this, "We do not offer moratoriums for parkingTas Spring permits do go on sale almost 2 months before the start of the semester and are available for purchase on-line and in multiple locations on campus.. There was no mention of the fact that they make a lot of MONEY from the temporary day permits. Now to be fair, they do give "one" permit away in a lottery drawing. In surveying a number of students standing in line at parking services the first day, all had purchased a day pass because they did not know how long it would take to get the pass, some knew you could purchase on-line, and one student's educational funds were not available for early purchase. A staff person told me that during the university hour the line wrapped around several times and then snaked out the door into Tukwut Court. A couple students reported getting parking violation tickets while they were over at the day pass dispensing machine. The moral of this story is, park next to the machine first. I was surprised to learn that a parking pass is not included in your on-campus housing fees. A first week moratorium would be a fractional percent of the annual amount Parking Services generates in parking permits and day passes alone. The funds are directed to paying for the multi-level parking garage now under construction across from campus housing. Its completion is projected for 2010 though it will take 30 years to pay for it. An 18% increase is planned for Fall 2009 increasing annual earnings by over Vi million dollars. My suggestion is ride a bike or take the Sprinter. Between gas, traffic and parking fees it doesn't seem rational to drive.

NORTH COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT GoNCTD.com IS 5 11 Every semester as students are confronted with buying parking permits, some look to CSUSM's short-term parking options to mitigate the costs of parking on campus. Though these daily/hourly permits are less convenient, it is common for budget-minded students to forgo purchasing expensive semester passes in the belief that paying per use can cut personal parking expenses measurably. The Pride put this theory to a test and compared common parking/schedule scenarios to determine which is of the greatest economic advantage to students. The rundown on purchasing semester parking permits or daily/hourly permits: In most circumstances, the full semester parking permit is a better deal for students with a typical school week of 12-15 units. Factoring in breaks between classes, U-hour, and other on-campus activities, it is likely that a student with a full course load would require a 5-hour permit or even an all day permit to park on campus. If students can manage to pack all of their classes into 2 days, then daily permits are the clear choice. With more school days at these longer durations, the cumulative costs of daily/ hourly permits push past that of the semester permit, which makes this a less attractive option for students with long school days. Only under special conditions would daily/hourly permits be more economical, namely when students have periodic access to alternative forms of transportation (i.e. rides from friends, walking, biking, bus, etc.) For those that do opt for daily/hourly permits, it is generally cheaper to park 2 days a week for longer durations than it is to park 4 times a week for briefer durations. The Numbers: $248: Cost of full semester permit. $7: Cost of all day permit. $5: Cost of 5 hour permit. $4: Cost of 3 hour permit. $2: Cost of 1 hour permit. Scenario 1: 4 day school week $448 on all day permit. $320 on 5 hour permit. $256 on 3 hour permit. $248 on semester permit. Scenario 2: 2 day school week $248 on semester permit. $224 on all day permit. $160 on 5 hour permit. $128 on 3 hour permit Scenario 3: Varied school week. $368 on 2 5-hour permits and 3 1-hour permits. $352 2 on all day permits and 2 3-hour permits. $336 on 3 all day permits. $288 on 2 5-hour permits and 2 3-hour permits. $248 on semester permit. $240 on 3 5-hour permits. $192 on 3 3-hour permits $176 on 2 5-hour permits and 1 1-hour permit. �Tuesday,January 27, 2009 From INAUGURATION, page 1 Chanel makeup, courtesy of the Ritz Carlton with the presidential seal on it.

This chairman of another tribe asked me what I thought of the speech and of course, a few other folks were asking me my opinion as a political scientist. I kept telling people that I experienced so much joy during the speech that I can't say that I analyzed it that thoroughly," Proudfit said. "I know people were looking for that catch phrase or the one word. I just looked at the whole movement, the experience, the presence. It wasn't about his words as Fencing was installed throughout the National Mall for security. "We're in this mob of people and I'm thinking, 'Oh, my God, this is where the other shoe falls, I guess, and we're not going to get to see it.'" Instead of accepting defeat, Proudfit took action and decided to head back to the National Museum of American Indians. "We were walking through this crowd and I said, "Come on Maryann" because she was getting tired. I said, 'We gotta keep going. We're going to miss it if we don't.' And there were these concrete dividers and they were probably about half our height," Proudfit explained. "I made her hop it! I mean she's a sixty four year old woman with two knee braces and I think she was running on straight adrenaline because she climbed it and she got over it and she much about the momentum and the action of finally making that change, of turning that page." After finally having time to look over the transcript of the speech a few times, Proudfit added that she thought the speech President Obama gave was fantastic, inclusive, and assertive to other countries. Aside the speech and the glamour of the event, Proudfit equally expressed her joy watching the first African American sworn in as President of the United States. "I can't imagine how African Americans feel. As an American Indian, I know how I felt. And I know how wonderful and how long we've worked for this. The African American families that I saw, when I would complain about how long I was walking or how fine." cold I was, I would look over and Riding on that adrenaline and see an elder African American the shear determination to wit- person with a cane who had trouness the event, the two women ble walking, walking," Proudfit finally reached the National said.

"But [now] we're united by hope and that's such a difference. It is such a different feeling. It is my instinct and I believe that is what's going to keep us united. It's not going to be for a few weeks or months or years. I think being united by hope is far different than being united by fear."

They are not just about policy issues. They can be very, very exciting. These are some of those events," Proudfit said.

M i l l e r a ttends FBI A c a d e m y BY JAMES SEBRING Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos' very own University Police Lieutenant Doug Miller recently received the honor of attending the FBI National Academy. The FBI trains about 1,000 local and state police officers each year in this program. The trainees are chosen from all over the United States as well as other countries. Besides the usual physicalfitnessand police training, the Academy also offered college undergraduate and graduate level courses. One that Lt. Miller found particularly interesting was a course that taught you how to analyze witness statements, determine the validity of a statement, and where the statement may be less than factual. "When someone is giving a detailed statement of what they did and they go from specific details to generalities and use phrases like 'and then'; that is where you need to look for possible falsehoods," Miller explained. Miller grew up in Colorado, describing himself as "somewhat of a rebel" until he joined the Marines. His wife, Teresa, is a nurse and currently serving in the US Navy, stationed in Yokosuka, Japan. After serving 7 years active duty, Miller got out of the Marines and went to San Diego State University where he wanted to become an engineer. "I discovered that my math skills were not up to the task of being an engineer, so I changed directions," Miller said. While pursuing a different degree field, he was informed of a job with the University Police. His point of contact was a Chief Carpenter. "I didn't know what statistics had to do with carpentry, but I applied anyway," Miller said. He later discovered that Carpenter was the Police Chiefs last name. He took the job with the SDSU Campus Police working as a statistician, researching and writing grants. Impressed with his work, SDSU Campus Police recommended Miller for police training at the San Diego County Police Academy. Upon completion of his training, he went to work as a patrol officer with SDSU Campus Police, working his way up to Sergeant. Although Miller enjoyed the work and found it satisfying, he felt a desire to move on. It was at this time that an opening became available at CSUSM Police Dept. Miller applied and was accepted. He became a Patrol Sergeant for CSUSM, but was soon offered a position as a lieutenant. Although the pay was better, he was reluctant to give up being on patrol, which for him remains an enjoyable part of the job. Ultimately, Miller took the job as Police Lieutenant and moved to his new vehicle: a desk. When asked whether he found giving tickets to be the most enjoyable part of his job, Miller replied, "No, not really, but if it prevents some kind of unsafe or dangerous driving situation, that at least there is some satisfaction in i t" What Millerfindsmost enjoyable is teaching students about his job, about the dangers that are ever present, and how to make good, safe life choices. He enjoys it when the studentsfinallylet down their guard and begin asking questions and sharing their experiences or asking for advice. Looking to the future, Miller notes his number one priority is having his wife back from Japan, and then hopefully a meaningful retirement. They would like to join the Peace Corps or something similar. "Teresa and I have been involved in service related jobs for many years," Miller said. "But we feel doing that kind of work as a volunteer, rather than as part of our job, would be so much more satisfying." A D V E R T I Z I N G IS EASY AS 1-2-3 1 . C H O O S E A D S IZE. 2 .

Ox: 1901, 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009 The Ox can do well this year through steady progress. There may be a number of experiences that will provide great joy for the Ox. One area, in particular, is the Ox's personal life. You may see an addition to the family. You will be surrounded by those who care. Look for the early summer months to attend many social occasions, providing many new faces in your social circle. One area of focus is to be open to the advice of others, as you tend to keep your issues to yourself. Tiger: 1902, 1914, 1926,1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998 From the outset, 2009 may present some true challenges for the Tiger. The year of the Ox presents an overwhelming influence upon the Tiger to maintain a steady and well disciplined pace. That is not to say that there won't be opportunities for achievement, but it would be more precise to say that this is a year that would benefit the Tiger in the areas of experience and possibly lay a solid foundation for the year to come. You will have to be resourceful and rely on your boldness and quick wit to ascertain anything in the year of the Ox. Rabbit: 1903, 1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999 The past year may have provided the Rabbit with many challenges and difficult situations, but this year will be a relief. The Rabbit has a very favorable outlook this year. Though it is not part of your usual plan, you may find that being assertive and bold will allow you to achieve unforeseen success. Your attraction to the finer life may lead you to living it. Personal relations are of great value to the Rabbit and will be emphasized throughout the year. Put your best foot forward in the year of the Ox and you will reap many benefits and % rewards. Dragon: 1904, 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000 The year of the Ox may slightly hinder the Dragon's independent spirit. There will be gains, but you may have to adapt to situations with different strategies than your usual style. There are three favorable months to provide periods of substantial progress and you would do well to take notice of these times and make the most of the opportunities offered. The single Dragon will be happy to know that romance is favored this year, so you may find someone to share your experiences. Be conservative in your spending or it could result in problems next year. Snake: 1905,1917,1929,1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001 The Snake has an incredibly favorable year ahead. The year of the Ox provides many opportuni- ties for the Snake to fulfill long awaited career goals and achieve more than he/she ever imagined. Your wisdom and patience are tools that prove successful in all aspects of your life. Relationships could be taken to new heights and deep and meaningful friendships are acquired. This year proves to be one of action, the year that all of your planning and w aiting pay off for you. The later months prove to be especially successful, tying a year of arduous work into an extremely blissful culmination. Horse: 1906,1918,1930,1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002 The Horse may have a challenging year ahead. You may become frustrated with the lack of progress in your career, but you will have to be patient to see the results of your hard work. Beware of your energy levels, as you tend to swing in accordance to your success. You will have to work hard to steer yourself out of ruts with healthy activities and other projects that keep you active. Be open to try new things and heed the advice of others in Word(s) Yoda Tonya Harding \ the year of the Ox. Goat: 1907, 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 This may not be as favorable as a year that you desire. Coming off the year of the Rat, you may be seeking relief from the difficult year. Don't let up now. The Goat is artistic in nature and you may have difficulties finding a way to express your creative passions. It will take an extra effort to rely on the help of others to make it through these times, but if you keep a steady focus on your goals and display painstaking efforts, you will be pleased to see the fruits of your labor arrive next year. Don't fret, as you may learn a lot about yourself in the process. You may learn that you are more versatile, as well as resourceful, than you ever imagined. Monkey: 1908, 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004 This year offers the Monkey some opportunities to go far with your talents. The Monkey's generous nature may leave you stretched in several different directions, so it is important to stay focused in order to achieve the goals you have set for yourself this year. You will be given the opportunity to impress the right people both in business, as well as in your personal life. Don't hold back this year, for this could be one that will leave an impression over the course of the next few years. Rooster: 1909, 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005 Aside from the Snake, the Rooster has the best prospects in the year of the Ox. This is the kind of year you have been waiting for, as everything seems to go your way. You have been diligently working towards some long term goals that finally come together this year. Your relations are felt at new levels, as you find a sense of satisfaction that you may not have experienced in a long time. Things you may have thought not possible will become a reality for you in this positive year. Dog: 1910, 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006 2009 will present the Dog with a number of challenges. Your patience will certainly be tested in more than one instance. You may not necessarily gain the notoriety you desire in your career, but certain advancement opportunities will surface throughout the year. You will find comfort with your family and solidify bonds that are necessary for your well being. You may have issues juggling your family life with your work schedule, but you will make great strides in both areas by the end of the year. Pig: 1911, 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007 The Pig has many opportunities to shine this year. Your generous nature is apparent in all aspects of your life. This year, your inherent generosity plays a large role I n areas that you may not even be aware and may pave the way to a possible career change. You have an abundance of friends and you are well loved by your family, this year will only enhance these relations. One area that may create some issues is that you seem to overextend yourself to a point where there isn't any time left for you. This could lead to a change in priorities and could promote some better organizational skills. /n./ \ The world's current Sith Lord. Cousin of Kermit the Frog but off the botox.

The popularity of the vest comes from its nearly limitless functionality and compatibility. It can be worn with a button down shirt to channel sartorial elegance, or worn with your favorite t-shirt to attain a more rock star vibe. When purchasing a vest opt for one in a darker shade for its versatility and its ability to streamline your silhouette. Cardigan The cardigan functions like a vest, it creates an opportunity to layer clothing, creating visual depth and complexity. Think of the cardigan as your go to sweater.

When buying a fedora look for one that is cut slimmer and has a more modern edge. I recommend a straw fedora that can be worn casually with a T-shirt and jeans or dressed up with slim cut pants and a classic white oxford. For the ladies, a straw fedora exudes bohemian glamour and for the gentlemen it emanates James Deanesque confidence. Style is an expression of self. Find what works for you and rock it! Remember, its 20% what your wearing and 80% how you wear your attitude; people gravitate towards confidence, not clothes.

"Taken" plays out Image courtesy ofLionsgate like a condensed version of TOWN "24." Though there is fancy fighting and gunplay, it ends up looking like another "Bourne" wannabe. The plot is quite contrived. Sex traders kidnap a girl on vacation in Paris, but it just so happens her father is an ex-CIA agent. He goes on a relentless and bloody quest to get her back. It is eerily similar to Steven Soderbergh's "The Limey." With so many other good f ilms to see, there is no room for "Taken." Lastly, there is the horror remake "The Uninvited." I could go on with puns about the title and how I would not welcome it into the local cinema, but it is too obvious.

The changes intend to provide fellow Cougars with an even better newspaper. "Beer of the Week" enjoyed numerous weekly columns in the semesters past. "Exclusively Fluid" is essentially a hybrid of the beloved "BOTW." The new column runs weekly and brings an exciting change by showcasing the best of both alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks. Debuting as the first beverage for the new column is Gatorade's relatively new line of G2 sports drinks. The 32 fluid ounce sports drink retails from $2-3 and is found at most grocery stores, mini-marts, and gas stations. The six tasty current flavors are grape, strawberry-kiwi, orange, lemonlime, blueberry-pomegranate, and fruit punch. The G2 line might see additional flavors in the years to come as is Gato- j rade's trend of gradually introducing new flavors. Distinguishing G2 from the original Gatorade lineup are 50% fewer calories and extra vitamins such as Vitamin B, C, and E. Despite the reduction in calories, G2 retains the same fundamental benefit of electrolytes, making the sports drink an even better choice for normal consumers and athletes. The G2 fruit punch flavored drink tastes absolutely delicious. The scent and experience seem like a throwback to the good old days of cherry flavored Kool-Aid. G2, regardless of the flavor, feels a lot lighter than regular Gatorades. The ability to stop drinking fades away with each yummy gulp. G2 is a revamped, renewed, and overall better tasting Gatorade with less calories and the same amount of electrolytes. The G2, especially the fruit punchflavor,can be enjoyed by all Cougars. With a raised glass of G2, cheers to new beginnings! � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It is not until we write checks for $300twice a year that his words hit home. At the end of each semester, students get back a portion of their textbook investment during book buy back days. This fall, the University bookstore advertised "up to 50% cash back for your used books." Experienced textbook consumers know it is often smarter to keep their texts than take their chances during book buy back. Some students are shocked to find that their $50 textbook is worthless after four months of infrequent use. This is how book buy back works.

"The bookstore is being unprofessional by blaming the teachers," said one CSUSM senior. "The store is not as responsive to students needs as they could be." He cites the problem with the University Store is insufficient textbook inventory. Failure to have an adequate number of books on hand at the beginning of each semester "compromises the university." "My first semester at CSUSM, I had to wait over one month for a sociol- ogy text. My teacher came from CSU Long Beach and got his order in late," remarks one student. One cause of late requisition forms, according to a University Store staff person, is the existence of part-time faculty. Parttime professors who get hired two weeks before the semester begins simply do not have a chance to get in their orders on time The CSUSM senior refuses to accept the University Store's explanations. "If there is something wrong with the system, they should change the system. If the orders come in late, the book store should place a rush order with the publisher." Former Saint Joseph resident graduates from CSUSM It is never too late to pursue your dreams. This past December, Hazel Scott "Scotti" Aretakis, 54, fulfills her lifetime dream of getting a college degree. She graduates from California State University San Marcos with a bachelor's degree in sociology. Aretakis attributes this accomplishment to her mother. "My mother taught me and my brother, Bill Scott, to have a sense of our own self-worth and to ersevere even in the face of adversity. It is these and the other values that she instilled in me as a child that gave me the strength to pursue a college education," said Aretakis.

All of those students who plan to return here next semester and were born in 1957 or later, will need to provide proof of a Measles and Rubella immunization prior to registering next semester. Those who do not comply will receive an I-Hold notice, which states that they will not be allowed to register until they submit the required form. The staff of Student Health Services is available Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM to help students meet this re- quirement. Students who have immunization records should bring them to the Student Health Services Clinic to receive a clearance. The staff can assist students who need to send away f or their medical records. Students who need to receive the vaccine can do so at no charge at any time during the semester. It is highly advisable to do this early in the semester to avoid long lines later. To make an appointment f or an immunization, call 752-4915, or stop by t he clinic. The Student Health Services Center is located on the first floor of Craven Hall. It is the first door on the right as you are facing the building. Photo/Carlos Mariscal Susan Mendes, LVN, Health Education Assistant, assists in Nutritional Counseling SERVICES Nutritional counseling now available at SHS Student Health Services now has appointments available for private, individual nutrition counseling with students. At the session, students are asked to bring in a three-day food diary that records everything they have eaten during that time. This information is then entered into the computer. Using a new, specialized health program called Nutritionist IE, the nurse is able to give the student a complete six-page dietary analysis. This indicates the total nutrients and calories consumed, percentage of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, as well as recommendations for excesses and deficiencies. The nurse then reviews the report with the student and makes recommendations for healthy dietary changes. Computerized body fat testing is also available by appointment. For this test, a small, sticky electrode is attached to the patient's wrist and ankle. The analyzer measures the body's resistance and reactance The results of this test are then entered into a computer program which gives a body profile analysis, which includes such information as percentage of body fat and percentage of lean muscle tissue, as well as BMR, or basal metabolic rate. This is very important, as it indicates the exact number of calories that person burns every day. Activity level and specific exercises can be factored in to indicate the number of calories burned with increased activity. This information can be especially helpful for students who want to lose or gain weight, reduce body fat, or build up muscle. To make an appointment for either of these services, call Susan Mendes at Student Health Services, 752-4915. The Student Health Services Center is located on the first floor of Craven Hall, and is open MondayFriday, 8AM to 5 PM.

Davis, Ph.D. Contributing Writer This is addressed to students who face a new semester of new courses, new teachers and new texts. How will you cope with so many unknowns? You have a choice—fear and trembling or confidence and assurance. Now is the time to decide. As you give personal thought and time to the way you plan to approach what's ahead, consider the statement made by the famous psychologist, Carl Menninger: Attitudes are more important than facts. How does this bear on the problem of facing unknowns? In the first place, all these unknowns are facts. You just aren't aware of them. You can't control them. But you do have a choice; the way in which you perceive the facts. This is where your attitude comes in. In the second place, your attitude is a choice you can make. You decide the mental position by which you want to perceive the undeniable facts. In an attempt to reach your goals, remember, your attitude is a key. It can be a roadblock or a doorway to success. If you have the slightest tinge of apprehension, let me tell you how I put it to my students in statistics. We repeated the familiar refrain from a children's story, ' The Little Train That Could"— I think I can, I think I can, I think I have a plan And I can do most anything if I only think I can Simply stated, you can succeed if you give yourself a chance. With a positive attitude, you can achieve your goals this spring semester.

Beginning with a morning kick-off on campus, students from CSUSM clubs and organizations will participate in activities they have planned involving services for those in our surrounding community. Student leaders are actively involved in planning community services and they welcome participation from students, faculty,, and staff. Yvonne McCarty is coordi- nating various clubs in youth-oriented service with workshops on campus for invited members of the Boys and Girls Clubs as well as selected San Marcos elementary, junior and senior high school students. Ann Garman, along with members of Circle K, will host high school Key Club students on campus. These youth-oriented activities serve to improve self-esteem, encourage continuing education, promote a desire to learn, and familiarize students with our campus. Rolando Nooris and computer club members will provide hands-on computer learning experiences. Bertha Walker and members of the Pan-African Student Alliance are participating and also providing logistical support for Volunteer Day. Tanis Brown of CSUSM Alumni Club continues to contribute her leadership for this event, especially the rally. Katherine Johnson-LaVesque has designed the logo (seen above, from a photograph by Alexa Welch). Environmentally oriented services will be the focus at nearby Discovery Lake Park. When the roads are completed, it will be a pleasant hike from our campus. Cleaning up the park and creating a nature display board are the focus of services of the Earth Club. Many hands make light work (bring gloves) therefore Michelle Sedova, President of Earth Club, and Richard Molloy, President of Associated Students, welcome volunteers. "Jennifer Elbert and the 3-D club members will be there too, culminating a week of activities shared with a local girl scout troop. Other volunteer services vary. Scott Sherrillo and the Accounting Society, in conjunction with the IRS, will be available on Volunteer Day and throughout the tax season to assist local income and elderly in* tax preparation. Any students and Spanish speakers may also request assistance through this Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. The Argonaut Society has a special service project for the San Marcos Historical Society and Mueum. T&s Association for Busi- ness Students and other clubs are also planning activities for volunteer day. In the spirit of partnership, Mayor Thibadeau and the City Council of San Marcos have issued a Proclamation recognizing February 26, 1994 as Volunteer Day. Volunteer Day can fulfill several university goals: outreach and cooperation with our broader community; promotion of civic pride and responsibility; as well as initiation of contacts for service-learning opportunities. A number of our faculty are encouraging service-learning in their classes to link real-life experience through service with the theory and concepts taught in their courses. During Club Days in the Plaza on January 31, February 2, and 3, interested students, faculty and staff may sign up to join in Volunteer Day activities. Sign ups continue at the Associated Students Office Ext. 4990, the Student Activities Office, Ext. 4970, or the ServiceLearning Office, Ext. 4057.

Consider, for a moment, the constant cloud that has surrounded the administration beginning with the policy regarding homosexuals in the military and encompassing the firings of the entire White House travel staff, flip-flopping on Bosnia, the failure of the ambitious stimulus package, the thwarted nominations of Zoe Baird, Kimba Wood, Stephen Breyer and Lani Guinier, the hour-long haircut that held up air traffic at LAX, allegations made by members of the Arkansas National Guard about gubernatorial infidelities, the suicide of White House lawyer and long-time Clinton pal Vince Foster, the forced resignation of Defense Secretary Les Aspin, the Waco fiasco, allegations of financial impropriety involving Whitewater Investments, and, most recently (at press time, anyway), the decision by former Defense Secretary nominee Bob Inman to withdraw his name from consideration despite the guarantee of overwhelming..confirmation in the Senate. How has this cursed administration managed to achieve anything substantial in the midst of such chaos? Well, if you believe the headlines, they haven't. This year has seen the passage of Clinton-sponsored legislation such as the most comprehensive and radical fiscal package since the early Reagan years, the Family Leave Act, the Motor Voter Bill, as well as the introduction of a massive, ambitious overhaul of the health care system, congressional approval of the North American Free Trade Agreement and a successful resolution to GATT negotiations with Eu- style political gossip. This is not to say that there is some kind of national media conspiracy to discredit the leader of the free world or even that Clinton is somehow the first president to be slighted in such a manner. The current media culture has evolved gradually through time, and certainly significant events in the Reagan and Bush administrations were often ignored in ways this was a good thing; more citizens (especially young ones) were exposed to American politics than in the past, and more of them became involved in the process. But by breaking new ground, Clinton managed to alienate the more respectable media establishment. The New York Times and CNN are now forced to compete with MTV News and Hard Copy, and in the process the distinction between these different forums has blurred considerably. Most of the press no longer has faith that the American people will be interested in tales of legislative battles or trade negotiations. So instead we get lurid tales of Governor Clinton rushing out for a quickie in his limousine while the National Guard looks out for Hillary. There are many substantial areas in which the current administration deserves intellifavor of more sexy stories about Nancy's gent criticism, including the lack of a cohewardrobe or George's distaste for broccoli. sive foreign policy and the President's willBut the climate has intensified significantly ingness to sacrifice important issues for the in the past few years, and the blame (or credit, sake of political expediency.

Yet the only stories garnering significant news space have been the scandals. Even Clinton's recent trip to Eastern Europe and Russia in which he met with Boris Yeltsin and announced a new plan to gradually include Eastern European nations in NATO was overshadowed by the buzz of allegations and innuendoes about Whitewater.

By JARED THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer addition, both ASI and parking services are trying to create a direct left-hand turn into the lot in the near future, which would facilitate accessibility. "We want to show the students that they are getting something out of this [parking] fee increase," explained Brown. Curb parking, which was available last semester to relieve tense parking conditions, is now prohibited. Parking services claims that curb parking is no longer necessary since Lot X, a dirt lot located at the corner of Twin Oaks and Craven Dr., is currently available. Each semester, the need for parking spaces relatively close to the campus increases. When questioned about the absence of curb parking, Robert Williams, CSUSM parking services coordinator, explained that curb parking was an emergency measure last semester, which first needs city approval for long-term use because it uses the space allottedforbike lanes and emergency vehicles. Williams said that curb parking was a short-term solution that "allowed [parking services] the time needed to open inconvenience for students who liberal studies major.

Williams added that the next "general surface lot is slated for the area behind the faculty/staff lot," and that this lot will have the capacity for about 600 vehicles. The new general surface lot is tentatively scheduled for the spring of2004, but its availability may not fully rectify the growing need for parking spaces; so there may be a need for Lot X even after the completion of the new lot. services and ASI are concerned about the potential for theft and personal assault after it gets dark. Currently, ASI is working on establishing temporary lighting, which would extend the lot's availability to 10 p.m. In By the academic year 2011/12, parking services plans to complete two parking structures that will house approximately 1,200 parking spaces each. As reported on the parking services website, in an effort to accumulate funds for this project, parking services will again implement a parking fee increase upwards of $300 beginning next fall. P ower s hut o ff a t C SUSM By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer Electrical workers turned off CSUSM's electrical service on Monday, Jan. 20. The installation of a new emergency generator necessitated the shutdown. Even though the period without electricity was brief and during the early morning hours of a holiday, some students questioned why the entire system needed to be shut down and whether this is a reflection of possible deficiencies in*CSUSM's electrical service system. These concerns appear to be unwarranted. Ken Collier, a journeyman electrician and member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers local 569, as well as an instructor on electrical theory at the Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee in San Diego, answered questions about the installation of emergency generators for industrial applications. According to Collier, generators such as the one installed at CSUSM require the use of an automatic transfer switch or ATS. The ATS senses a lack of power in an established electrical distribution system and switches over to a generator usually driven by a gasoline or diesel engine. The ATS is more than a simple switch, as it also starts the emergency generator and performs electronic motor control operations regulating the generators output. Through the use of the ATS, an electrical system can be functioning again within seconds of a power failure. When electrical service is reestablished the ATS automatically switches back to the main switchgear providing power from the electrical utility, to new construction, such an emergency generator would be built into the electrical distribution system before power from the utility had been established, eliminating the need for any interruption of power. The ATS and generator at CSUSM had to be spliced into the existing distribution system. To avoid working on the high voltages present at the main switchgear, which is neither safe nor practical, the power was temporarily interrupted. installed primarily in hospitals and in industrial operations where uninterrupted power was considered critical. The growing dependence of almost all businesses and services on computers and other digital equipment requiring uninterrupted power Heretofore, emergency power has made the use of emergency generation systems had been power generators more ubiqui- tous. The emergency generator installed at CSUSM is meant to ensure that a constant and reliable supply of electricity is always available for students and faculty.

The parameters Kaplan was referring to was the 1.7-mile long protest route, which began at the intersection of Embarcadero and Market St., continued down Market St. and ended in front of San Francisco City Hall. On Saturday, Jan. 18 in San Francisco, there was an antiwar protest. Organized by the International A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) Coalition, the protest was widely deemed the largest anti-war ¡protest seen in San Francisco since the Vietnam era. At various points along the route, CSUSM student and first-time protester Justin Lessel climbed on top of things like trash cans to get a better view of things. His frank assessment of the scene was that he ".. .couldn't see an end to the people in either CNN.com reported that tens of thousands of people crowded the streets of downtown San Francisco. MSNBC.com was a little more specific in their attendance estimate, reporting that the San Francisco protest drew approximately 80,000 "It's just s o n ice to k now people.

Yamout said, "This isn't the first time I've heard of the news underreporting the attendance at peace rallies. Just last fall A.N.S.W.E.R held a rally in DC and the Washington Post reported that only like 10,000 people had been there when in fact there'd been closer to 100,000. Eventually due to public pressure for them to come clean, they printed a correct article, which reported the actual attendance as being around 100,000. It's stuff like that that makes me skeptical of what I hear in [the] news." Recently, a website was created in an attempt to accurately tabulate the actual number of anti-war protesters throughout the U.S. John Kromko, former Arizona state legislator and cocreator of peacedemo.org, said that the reason he helped create this site is because he felt that, "...the national media typically reports only the number of protesters in protests in a few large cities, which shields pur elected officials from seeing the true depth of opposition to the war." Martin Eder, longtime organizer for Activist San Diego, concurred with that assessment, stating in an email that, "...onJanuary 18th we saw around 1,200 people marching with us in the San Diego Coalition for Peace and Justice contingent of the Martin Luther King Day parade, but unless you were there you probably would've never heard because it just wasn't reported accurately in the news."

In an effort to move toward a remedy and a better future, several options need to be examined and considered for widespread implementation. An easy avoidance method has been to pass the buck onto future generations. But now, it may be that a generation with the past on its shoulders chooses to role up its sleeves instead of turn its nose. As environmental damages, become more difficult to ignore, as the national population continues to grow exponentially, and as the world is once again facing political turmoil in the Middle East, a region economically crucial for its vast oil reserves, now may be the time to make more meaningful efforts to find alternative energy sources and step toward alternative living styles. the average miles per gallon figure of new cars and trucks deteriorated by nearly 8 percent, from 22.1 in 1988 to 20.4 in 2001, says Consumer Reports. Ideally, efficiency would be apportioned to improve emissions, miles per gallon (mpg), and horsepower. Overall, cars are only using about 15% of the energy in fuel; 75% of gasoline's energy is lost in the process of running the car. Because of this, the potential to improve fuel economy with advanced technologies is enormous. Motor vehicles need energy Here are the main options to accelerate (overcome inertia), currently being proposed by to push air out of their way experts: (aerodynamic drag), to overcome the friction from tires, wheels, More-efficient technology and axles (rolling resistance), as well as to run accessories Technology today, with like air conditioning and power all of its advancements and steering. When engine friction, breakthroughs, is primarily waste heat, and other various funneled into boosting losses such as these are eating horsepower. In spite of paved three quarters of the energy and congested streets, the content in a gallon of gasoline,, majority of vehicle engines opportunities to improve fuel are still being tuned to provide economy are commodious. more horsepower instead of better gas mileage. From 1981 Each of thefinaluses of energy to 2001, average horsepower represents "an opportunity increased 84 percent, and 0-to- to improve fuel economy," 60-mph acceleration improved according to the EPA.

Smoother vehicle shapes have already reduced [aerodynamic] drag significantly, but further reductions of 2030% are possible. Advanced tire designs can cut rolling resistance." I by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), an independent research organization created by Congress, "If fuel economy had not improved, gasoline consumption would be about 2.8 million barrels per day (or 14 percent) greater than it is." CAFE standards, however, have remained frozen at the 1985 level for cars and the 1996 level of 20.7 mpg for light trucks, and the auto industry has fought against further increases. Higher fuel taxes While this is not the most appealing option to consumers, it cannot be denied that high fuel prices result in greater fuel conservation. In Europe and Japan, for instance, high fuel taxes have resulted in gasoline prices of $4 (US) per gallon or more, which in turn has created a large demand for smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles. In the U.S., however, high fuel taxes are unpopular and politically forlorn. It is unlikely that significant increases in gasoline taxes would pass anytime soon. Lisa Dufresne, a senior and an accounting major, captured popular American sentiment with her statement, "I would prefer to keep [gas prices and consumption rates] the Way they are out of personal convenience, even though it is pretty selfserving." "Even if I knew it was better for the environment, I would keep things the same," echoed senior Graham Smorzewski. "I can barely afford gas as it is now," he said. Scripps Clinic Rancho Bernardo is conducting a research studyof an investigational medication to treat women's yeast infection. If you are a woman, 18 years of age or older and have a yeast infection that has notteentreated with any over-the-counter mediation in the past 14 days, you may qualify to participate in one of our research v studies. • • • • A&rGtfynmm Federal standards fuel-economy Federal regulations, called the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards, have been in place since 1975 to govern mpg efficiency. According to a recent study "Government regulation is necessary," voiced Kate Irwin, a senior and sociology major. "It's important to have the government watching over to ensure that we're taking measures to protect our environment." While CAFE has been helpful, the standards have serious loopholes and have not been increased in years. Significant improvements won't happen without governmental pressure, and to that end, it seems the standards should be allowed to maintain gradual improvements. Consumers9 Role People often attempt to make a personal statement through the car they drive - whether it is a statement of status, power, or strength. But the latest car-asstatement, says Alexander's Gas and Oil Connections, a website providing an overview of global oil news, "is an unornamented Japanese subcompact driven by people who want to poke a finger in the eye of Saddam Hussein, the oil sheiks and the neighbors who jump into gas-guzzling sport utility vehicles for a drive to the grocery store." Along with the potential statement that smarter cars can make, their purchase functions as a vote cast for better fuel economy.

Achieving particularly high gas mileage, new electric, hybrid-electric, and diesel engine technologies have hit the marketplace in the last decade. The numbers of these cars actually on the road, however, are trifling, and the detriment of the popular vehicles surrounding them in the marketplace overshadows their efforts toward positive change. The new, greener technology also tends to give Americans the impression that the overall marketplace is more conscious than it is in actuality^ Buying a more fuel-efficient vehicle, no matter what class, saves money on gas, may help reduce U.S. petroleum dependence, and sends a signal to carmakers to use advanced technology for increased energy efficiency.

They are off in masses, but not to the little red planet that is our neighbor. Instead they are going to the Mars located in Utah, one of the Mars Analog Research Stations created by the Mars Society. The Mars Society is an international organization that was founded in August 1998. The society is currently about 5,000 members strong, including the 50 to 60 members in San Diego. The society is both a scientific and social organization that combines experimentation with social activities. The society has created two Mars Analog Research stations, one in Devon Island in the Arctic that operated for two months and the other in the midst of Utah's deserts. On February 28, 2001, San Diego created is own chapter of the society and has since played an important role in the research stations, which serve as their mission support and control center. The Mars Analog Research Station in Utah is comprised of "the Hab." "The Hab'Vis a two-deck cylindrical structure with an eight-meter diameter that serves as the habitat for the crewmembers, as well as several peripheral external structures; some are inflatable and some may be attached to "the Hab". The crew is comprised of six members* of different chapters of the society; each crew stays at the habitat for two weeks. The crewmembers drive ATV's, which are vehicles that are similar to ones that have been used on the moon, in their space suits, explore their environment, perform geological experiments, and are attempting to grow plants in a "greenhab" with various soil samples in an atmosphere similar to what might be found on Mars. Currently/ the Mars Society is in complete control of these experiments. NASA has made its priority the Mir Space Station. The internationally manned station that is currently in orbit around earth has taken the bulk of NASA's funding. Due fo this lack of focus on Mars, it is unknown what NASA will do with the Mars Society's findings. The crew at the Research Station in Utah communicates with the San Diego based Mission Control via the Internet. They send typed reports that are filtered through a director to various members who specialize in different scientific fields. The communication is taken very seriously and is performed as realistically as possible, including invoking a five to ten minute time delay that would be realistic in the actual scenario.

Confused and distraught, you are contemplating what you have just read in the title. Trust me, this trick is much more difficult to perform than it would ever be to read! Surfing may possibly be one of the greatest spectator sports. Some people agree that it is even better when you are out there in the water doing it yourself, trying to be one of the 'big boys.' learned this trick from a magazine called Transworld Surf. The issue is entitled, "Emision de Santa Cruz." I can't even do this trick yet, nor do I think that I ever will be able to; however I'm improving with practice. This trick, according to the magazine, ranks very high on the difficulty meter. My best advice would be to stretch really well and do a lot of practice heats before attempting this. First, start off by "hauling ass," meaning you should begin paddling as fast as you can to gather up enough speed before you come barreling down the wave. When you reach the bottom of the wave, whip off Here is a trick to try the next time you are out in the water. I the lip and keep your weight as light as possible while keeping centered on the board. As you whip off your lip, your board should now be freely flying through the air. Your back foot should be placed firmly on the tail of the board while the front foot places itself on the nose and at the same time prepare yourself for landing. When you land, pound the nose of the board with your front foot into the water, keeping your weight centered so the whole' board hits the water. If your front foot is not centered, the tail will shake, causing you to lose all balance and inevitably you will crash horribly as the wave rolls over you. The last step for this trick is to stand on the nose of your board and ride backward for a little bit, only so you look cool while you're riding in the wave, actually proving that you have just pulled something off. The feeling of accomplishment will soon override your whole body, allowing you to feel like you can do anything. doing airs. Don't get me wrong though, doing airs can be every surfer's dream, at the same time every surfer's nightmare. Nowa-days, doing airs are required in any professional surfing competition because almost every pro is able to perform them; and when they do, they do it really well, with complete accuracy I know this trick sounds really and perfection. hard to perform, but it almost Therefore, competition like doing a snap (or cutback), amongst individual surfers are only you're in the air. One of the first and foremost constantly rising because new things is to gather, up enough tricks are invented almost everyspeed. Without the right amount day and it is hard for an amateur of speed, it will be difficult for like, you and I to keep track with you to rise your board out of the this fast paced world of surfing water, and if you can't do that, expedition. So, let me be the first then you might as well learn a to wish you good luck, and may new trick that does not involve the force be with you! �THE PRIDE OPTNTON Stop 'Spinning' And Just Say Thank-You By GAIL TARANTINO News Editor While checking out the school's homepage before the semester started, I came across a temporary link* regarding the parking fee increase. Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I decided to read it. That was a big mistake because I'm still mad. > This piece of propaganda from parking services starts out explaining the parking fee increases by saying how "we've had it pretty good," because, before 1999, parking was either free or 12-14 dollars a month. The article actually refers to our dismal parking condition as "our happy, low-cost parking situation." First of all I don't consider parking services (or the adminis- ment increases, a lack of space tration for that matter) a part of and how our "individual deci"we."

I guess it's easier to imply that parking fees increased because students services are not in this together. don't carpool or ride the bus. Secondly, it infuriates me to be told how good I've got it because Another interesting statement years ago students didn't have to was that "while parking fees at pay for plentiful parking. other CSU campuses have been in the general range of those at The author of this piece goes Cal State San Marcos, 11 of the on to explain that the parking other campuses have proposed fee increases are necessary to increases". This suggests to me raise money for future parking that even with the increase, our structures because of enroll- 155 percent fee increase we all enjoyed this semester made Cal State San Marcos the highest in the CSU system. I understand about budgets, building funds and bonds. I understand that we have to step up and pay more for less, so that the next generation of students won't have it worse. But I am sick to death of the spin and propaganda put out by parking services and pubic relations and I don't want to hear it anymore. It's an insult to my intelligence. Instead of telling us "how good we've had it" acknowledge our parking fees are in line with the efforts and sacrifices and just tell other CSU schools. .However us thank-you. Bruce Kauffman of the North County Times, reported in an • www.csusm.edu/parking/ article dated 1/19/03 that the parking_fee_increase.htm PSTTQM ctii/Wit ciihmiccirm Anti-War Movement Fo p g 2 rm ae entire procession of protesters to reach the rallying point of city hall. Contrary to Vietnam era stereotypes of anti-war protesters, the protesters were largely representative of a multi-racial spcio-economically diverse mainstream America. There were soccer moms pushing strollers covered in peace signs, grandparents hoisting signs proclaiming "No War - Not In Our Name " kids of all ages beating all kinds of makeshift drums giving the march a sort of heartbeat, a small elderly marching band playing John Lennon's Imagine, working class types holding pro-union signs and shouting "¡Si Se Puede!" conservatively attired protesters holding signs saying things like "No Blood For Oil" and "Disarm Bush," and there were hippies protesting too. During the protest, Lessel remarked on more than one occasion that he was, "...surprised that most of the protesters looked like ordinary Americans.. .because [he] was kind of expecting to see nothing but your stereotypical hippies." In the Jan. 13 issue of the San Francisco Chronicle, Ruth Rosen wrote, "Never before in human history has an anti-war movement grown so fast and spread so quickly. It is even more remarkable because the war has yet to begin. Publicized throughout cyberspace, the antiwar movement has left behind its sectarian roots and entered mainstream culture." Jan. 18 was a day of both national, and global antiwar protesting with protests simultaneously occurring in various major metropolitan areas around the U.S. and in over 30 nations. CNN.com reported that the week before the protest, the FBI sent a bulletin to over 18,000 law enforcement organizations around the nation warning them to be ready for the possibility of violent protests. CNN.com reported after the protest, "There were no reports of such incidents, or of any violence or confrontations." In Washington DC, three dozen people protesting the anti-war protests gathered at the Vietnam War Memorial to offer their support to the Bush administration's policy on Iraq. One of these protesters was *55 year-old Scott Johnson, a Navy veteran from Minneapolis who asserted that, "The protesters don't understand the threat of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein... k's a war of liberation for people." This past weekend, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell told European political and business leaders at a conference in Switzerland that the U.S. remains willing to attack Iraq alone. CNN.com reported that, "In a 30-minute address that broke no new ground but attempted to enlist world support for U.S. military action against Iraq, Powell rejected criticism from delegates that the United States has not provided enough evidence that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein retains weapons of mass destruction." Powell went on to say, "The more we wait, the more chance there i s,for this dictator with clear ties to terrorist groups including al Qaeda— to pass a weapon, share a technology or use these weapons again. The nexus of tyrants and terror, of terrorists and weapons of mass destruction, is the greatest danger of our age." Judging by the language of the signs and chants at the San Francisco protest, it would be safe to say that the protesters reject the Bush administration's pro-war arguments. CSUSM student and first-time protester Tasha Iglesias said she was glad she'd driven herself and three other CSUSM students to San Francisco for the protest. She Photo c ourtesy o f w ww.internationalanswer.org. remarked that, "It's just so nice to know that I'm not really crazy, that I'm not alone, that there are -actually TONS of people who feel the way I do about this issue. I mean, before I came to this protest, from watching the news I actually thought that there weren't many other Americans who were against a war with Iraq. But I'm glad I came here because now I know I was wrong to think that." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Governor's proposal, announced Jan. 10, came as a result of California's massive budget deficit and will inevitably cut $312 million from the CSU system, which equates to an $875 cut from each full-time student.

We kU0w that higher education is part of the solution to a struggling economy," said Taiz;. On Jan. 22, Chancellor Charles B. Reed and the Ad Hoc Committee discussed hiring practices among the CSU system. The state auditor recommended the university create a centralized information structure to categorize university compensation by individual, payment type, and funding source. The Ad Hoc Committee suggested a comprehensive training program for coding of salary payments to employees. In response to last years' state audit reports and the specially appointed Ad Hoc Committee on the Bureau of State Àudit Reports, Chancellor Reed stated that he will report to State Auditor Elaine Howie every six months on the system's progress. Taiz spoke to the Trustees about the importance of arguing the budget plan and its effects on the future of the CSU. "CFA is already preparing for the fight ahead." Said Taiz.

Below: The Church of San Francisco de Asis. From a map, Panama looks like a thread of a country strained by the weight of two colossal landmasses, ready to snap at any given time. A few moments on the ground quickly abolishes these notions as this tiny Central American gem proves that big things truly can come in the smallest of packages . Although the eyes of the / world fixate on the Panama Canal, the rest of the country is often overlooked. Panama City, serving both as the Capital and engine of this exciting country, is quickly becoming a focal point for culture and travel in Latin America, Resting (if you could call it that) on the southern coast of Panama, Panama City is a bustling metropolis teeming with seemingly endless activity. In a city with an unrivaled work ethic and a Latin sensibility, everybody is on the move, and the best way to see the city is to just flow along the human currents. The American influence here is undeniable, where Dunkin Donuts and the big American television networks are no foreigners. Here and there, conversations in English can be overheard at restaurants and sports bars, but the locals are also patient, making it a great place to practice your Spanish. Political awareness is a huge part of life in Panama, and much like the current primaries taking place in the U.S., Panama is undergoing a similar process. The people in Panama also take an interest in American politics, which makes for great discussion. Unlike the U.S, everything in Panama is wonderfully inexpensive. Even better, save a trip to the currency exchange and just bring along your American dollars. For those unable to detach from the Internet, you will find Panama to b e a country well connected. While Panama carries a much milder culture shock than most Latin American countries, don't pack an American attitude i f you plan on absorbing what Panama has to offer. Qbserved from the fringes, Panama City's impressive and constantly expanding skyline erupts against the landscape in dramatic fashion. From within the city, a medley of old and tired structures rest comfortably under the marvel of these modern skyscrapers. Like the lush greenery surrounding the city, plant life is present throughout the entire city; to see a tree growing out of a house came as little surprise. Rush Hour is not just an American affliction, and like any booming metropolis, anticipate running into some traffic. The public transportation system can be quite confusing so your best bet is to stick to the taxis: They don't run a meter and the dollar can take you surprisingly far. Even with the powerful effect of modernization on the city, it has not lost sight of its heritage. Casco Viejo, or as many locals call it, San Felipe, is the main historic district of the city. An intriguing blend of French and Spanish architecture draped in greenery, the area harbors many of the cittes finest restaurants and cafes amidst its narrow streets and historical plazas. Like the rest of the city, Casco Viejo is „ best experienced aimlessly on foot. Reach the outskirts and you'll find shady walkways that offer some of the best views of the city to the east and of the Pacific entrance to the Panama Left: Panama's countryside as seen from la autopista Colon. Above: Plaza ae Francia looking towards the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal. �Canal and the massive Bridge of the America's to the west. At the Plaza de Francia, a tall monument and a spacious plaza honor the French laborers that aided in the construction of the Panama C anal This area of the city is so highly regarded that it serves as the home of the Presidential Palace, although the armed guards near the palace can be cause for alarm at first glance. Stepping back further into the history of Panama City, Panama Viejo (Old Panama) is the original location of Panama City. Destroyed in the seventeenth century, Panama Viejo is the oldest Spanish settlement in the Pacific. With the majority of the city having burned to the ground, all that remains today are a few stone ruins, the most prominent and best preserved of which is the Cathedral tower. A stairwell Above: Bananas Village Resort on Isla Grande along inside allows visitors to ascend the Caribbean coast, below: A large shipping vessel four stories, providing a passes through the Miraflores Lock; the last stop for panoramic view of the site and ships going t o Panama much of modern Panama City. Don't pretend that you can go to Panama without paying a visit to the Panama Canal. You can't. Even as Panama's largest tourist trap, it is also one of the greatest engineering feats in the history of mankind. The fact that it is arguably the most important component in global commerce should also convince you to make the short trip out of the city. At Miraflores Lock, the last stop along the canal for ships heading into the Pacific Ocean, hundreds of spectators look on as massive shipping vessels are spared thousands of miles of travel along the treacherous Drake Passage. Such an efficient and convenient passage does come with a high cost, however. Large shipping vessels may pay as much as $200,000 to pass through the canal, making it one of the heftiest tolls on the planet. With growing competition and demand, plans are underway to expand the canal to allow for larger vessels and improved efficiency. With the ineessant bustle of the city, tourists and residents alike often turn to the outlying countryside for a peaceful escape, and it is here where the benefits of such a small country truly shine. Straying from the beaten path in Panama quickly becomes one of the most spectacular and rewarding travel experiences in the world. A stark contrast from urban Panama, the majority of the country contains lush, rolling hills and valleys. Traveling from t ie Pacific to the Caribbean coast takes you through an untamed Panama not seen in most photographs. Although small villages exist near the main roadways, they mark the edge of a wilderness of pure, virgin land. Just a few hours drive from Panama City, the Caribbean Ocean peeks out from the lush greenery. From coast to coast, ,iI mm I IIIS Left: Near the Presidential Palace at Casco Viejo. Right: Greenery covers many structures in Panama. a markedly different Panama emerges. The people here, friendly and helpful, seem to derive their entire ancestry from the land. The coastal Caribbean region in all of its beauty is also very poor, having not felt the effects of the economic boom in Panama City. Despite these ails, the Caribbean coast offers many picturesque destinations for visitors. Small islands like Isla Grande are accessible by boat and sit just off the coast, housing small resorts and relaxing getaways. Not deprived of the historical richness that characterizes Panama, the former outpost of Portobelo exhibits the ruins of a major Spanish fortification during. With canons still pointed towards the ocean, this fort bears the marks of defeat at the hands Buccaneers and later the British. For a country with such a strong Western influence, Panama provides visitors with a gentle introduction to Latin American culture while retaining the ability to give its guests a unique and memorable experience. Packed with a lifetime 's worth of amusement, I can't help but wonder what Panama would be if it had some more territory to play with. �Letters to the Editor Over winter break I, like everyone else at Cal State San Marcos, received a few emails warning that a mountain lion had been spotted near campus on several occasions and that traps had been set and the police alerted to deal with the supposed threat. Coincidentally I also received a small magazine f rom Cal State San Marcos in December (via snail mail) noting some of the upcoming events on campus, among them the erecting of a bronze statue of a tukwut (or mountain lion in the tongue of the local Luiseno Native American tribe). The timing of the emails in regard to the mountain lion sighting, and the news about the soon to be unveiled statue struck me as more than a little ironic. The emails f rom CSUSM make it seem as if the mountain lion spotted near campus is some sort of villain simply waiting and lurking to attack and maul someone - something flagrantly misleading. Mountain lion attacks are exceedingly rare. In fact a mountain lion has a better chance of being attacked and shot by a hostile human, than a person has of being attacked by one of these-big cats. In all likelihood the mountain lion, probably a victim of the recent wildfires, has been forced to unwilling locate nearer to the campus. The language that CSUSM took in immediately addressing the sighting of the mountain lion follows the recent trend in San Diego County of striking preemptively against the local wildlife. In fact several months ago officials in one San Diego suburb had four coyotes hunted and shot for apparently catching a few pets in the nearby neighborhood. As a twenty-five year resident of Southern California, I have had mountain lions in my backyard before, yet also understand that such occurrences are simply part of life w hen you choose to erect your house on another creatures home. The emails received f rom CSUSM make it clear though that the college has chosen to reinforce misleading stereotypes about mountain lions. Such incidents it seems simply remind me that intolerance, fear, and violence are still key faucets of human society, even at a supposed institution of higher learning. So it is more than a little ironic that Cal State San Marcos will welcome a bronze statue of a mountain lion to campus, yet if a real one does rear its head it will probably b e shot. The message resonates loud and clear, and so does the hypocrisy. Matthew Schramm Dear Pride, On the front page of the January 22, 2008, edition, in "By the Numbers," you left out a very important figure which represents the faculty who are doing most of the teaching on our qampus (as in the CSU as a whole): the lecturers, who are off the tenure track. Also known as temporary faculty or "adjuncts," in fall 07, the campus hired 71 new lecturers, raising the total to around 335. With only 6 f ull-time lecturers, our students are taught increasingly by contingent part-time faculty, a great number of which teach at two or more institutions in order to make a living. The 187 tenure-line faculty mentioned on your f ront page are responsible for advising the 9,159 students, since lecturers are rarely hired to carry out this aspect of faculty work.

But break is over and it is time to get back to business. What better way to kick off the new semester than talking about why the New England Patriots will go 19-0? Here are my eight reasons for the Patriots to win the Super Bowl this Sunday: 8. The Patriots have cheated the system and were called out by the New York Jets and the NFL. Their response was a 38-14 beat down on the Chargers in week two. 7. They trailed by 10 points in the fourth quarter to the Indianapolis Colts in what was being called the biggest regular season game ever. It was Tom Brady who took over the game throwing two touchdown passes in four minutes to win the game 24-20. 6. In the final game of the regular season, the Patriots' went into Giants Stadium and saw Eli Manning gain the confidence he was lacking when he threw four touchdown passes in the game. The Patriots defense will be throwing different coverage's and blitzes at Eli trying to force turnovers. 5. The mind games. Bill Belichick is a genius when it comes to finding a way to win. Then, with Tom Brady appearing in a walking boot last week in New York. Then, later that same afternoon he is seen without the boot. Sprain or no sprain, Brady will be playing for his third Super Bowl MVP. 4. Experience! Eli has no championship experience: His college play at Ole Miss led to no major bowl games and his professional career is no better. He is in his first Super Bowl and for the first time in a long time he is looking like a steady quarterback. Brady had to battle for a starting spot at Michigan and then had to battle for a backup spot in New England. 3. First to 37 will win. Considering the Patriots scored more than 37 points in eight games, while the Giants reached that plateau only once this season. It would be safe to say that Brady has more options to throw to than Eli. 2. The record speaks for itself. The Patriots are 18-0 and going for perfection. Brady threw for a record 50 touchdowns. Blood, Sweat, Tears, Rain Maybe you noticed that it's raining. This is a strange phenomena for those of us San Diego natives, so we're going to take a look at it in depth here today at the Science Corner of BST. "Rain" is actually f rom the Greek word rainus, meaning " to be pissed on by the sky". Some historians believe that it descends from the Latin term ranius et blanketus which literally translates to, "Screw this noise. I'm staying home under the blankets." Rain has no natural predators, which has allowed it to breed without disruption to the point that we are now seeing it in environs which have not normally been part of its natural habitats, such as San Diego. I could talk now about all the positives of rain, but any "positives" are really just a product of clever marketing. It makes plants grow and it's important, While Randy Moss broke Jerry Rice's record of 22 touchdown receptions with the same record breaking pass. 1. The number one reason why I believe the Patriots will go undefeated: despite loving their commercials, I am not a big fan of the Mannings. But when it all said and done, there will be a new Super Bowl Champion and a new champion of football. The Patriots are going to win, but once again won't cover the spread. The final score of t he game is going to be the Patriots 38, Giants 31 with Tom Brady walking away with his third Super Bowl M VP Any comments or questions can be sent to churc009@csusm.edu or pride@csusm.edu. By Torio, Savey / Pride Staff Writer and blah blah blah. Now, let's talk about the dark side. Rain will make you melt. You thought they werefluffingabout in . The Wizard of Oz. They're not joking. An estimated 15% of people will actually melt if hit by more than three teaspoons of rain. Rain also survives mainly on a diet of kittens and killer hairstyles. If your hair looks good, there's probably some rain on the way to eat it. Also, rain shot JFK. In fact, in Seattle, convicted criminals aren't sent to prison. They're simply left out to be tortured and eventually devoured by the rain. So before you start thinking that your spring wildflowers are about to bloom and rain is really the tear drops of angels or some crap, look at the cold, hard, scientific facts. Rain is a wet, yucky apocalypse from the sky. Watch your back.

In game one, Master 's attacked early, scoring two runs in the first inning on a Joe Zeller two-run home run. CSUSM got on the board in the third, as senior, Tristan Gale singled to center field, scoring senior, Jason Hinton. Master's answered in the bottom of the third with a pair of runs, bringing the score to 4-2. The CSUSM relief would go on to hold Master's scoreless for the remainder of the game, however, the Cougars were unable to produce offensively, leaving the final, score at 4-2. In game two, the Cougars struck first, scoring two runs in the second inning as senior, Terry Moritz scored on a Master's error. Senioi, Juan Perez scored on a Ricardo Moran double. The Cougars would take the 2-0 lead into the bottom of the fifth inning, where Master's would score one run on a Pete Goeman RBI single. The Master's barrage continued through the sixth and seventh inning, as they scored one run in each, to bring the final score to 3-2.

There were certainly some absolutely wonderful films that came out last year, but 2007 is marred by a lackluster summer and several overrated movies. Several well known American directors put out their best works, yet it is the works of those outside this country that stole the show. Before descending into a brutal attack, on the past year, I do have sqme very good films to commend. The year got off to a great start with David Fincher's "Zodiac", which is a contender with "Fight Club" as his best work. The tension and acting make this one a must buy. Also worth buying is "The Bourne Ultimatum", which brought a nice end to the trilogy, and "Ratatouille", which was another masterpiece by Disney/ Pixar. Some of the delightful films worth watching came out late 2007. These include "Juno", "Across The Universe", "3; 10 To Yuma", and "American Gangster". For those who enjoy serious cinema, "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" is an absolute treat. Finally worth a mention is one of the few films to survive the dismal summer, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix". Upon reflecting on the movies of the year 2007, the first thing I think of is this dismal array of summer movies. The • M v l W M pursuit of profits led to an incredible amount of sequels, which included "Spiderman 3", "Fantastic 4: The Rise of the Silver Surfer", "Shrek 3", and "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End", which were all unnecessary movies meant to sucker the consumer. Earlier in the year, as well, film goers were 'graced' with such works as "Norbit", "The Invisible", "Ghostrider", "TMNT", and "Next". The year rounded out with more lackluster pieces such as "Balls of Fury", "Beowulf', "Alvin and the Chipmunks", "War", "Awake", and "Good Luck Chuck". The latter two films and the sequel to "Fantastic 4 " have proven that Jessica Alba's talents are limited to winking, and thus won her 'Worst Female Actor of the Year'. As for her male counter part it would be Nicholas Cage for "Next", "National Treasure: Book of Secrets", and "Ghostrider". Next to consider, there are a few more bad movies to name, however these are a special few. These are the movies that became really popular, but were truly not that good. One of these films is "Transformers". It is not a popular thing to say, but this movie is riddled w l A l P wkwk Film Jb HI JMbA ll with problems. Michael Bay should go back to music videos as this movie was shameful. The only reason it was popular is because of Optimus Prime, and his crew. Everything was low quality from the acting to the story and especially the dialogue. The CGI was not even that good. A similar movie would be "Dragon Wars", which was the same premise as "Transformers", only it was not popular because it did not have a popular toy line and TV show behind it. Quickly I would like to include "The directors, this year would have belonged entirely elsewhere in the world of <?inema. Previously mentioned was "Zodiac" which would have been the best US film of the year if it were not for the Coen Brothers. "No Country For Old Men", which is a brilliant film that everyone should see. It is easily the Coens' best, which is saying a lot. The acting, storyline, and tension are incredible. It is without a doubt going to be in the top ten of the 2000's with "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", "Lord of the Rings", and "The Departed". But the world of cinema is not limited to what is put out by the US. Also from 2007 came the brilliant German film "The Lives of Others" and the Danish film by Susanne Bier, "After the imagescourtesyotimaD.com Wedding". Just Simpsons Movie", which was like three because one has to read subtitles does bad episodes of "The Simpsons" in a row. not mean these are not awesome films. The final pair I will call out are "Knocked Finally, I commend thefilmmakersof Up" and "Superbad". The makers of the United Kingdom for their work this year. Danny Boyle is on top form with these movies are desperate for attention "Sunshine", and dramas such as "Control" using every crude trick possible. Both and "This Is England" should not be of these use vulgarity in place of actual missed. "Atonement" is also well worth substance and are not that funny the watching. And my final film to honor second time through, not that they were this year was my favorite, "Hot Fuzz", funny in the first place. The continuing a brilliant tale of police and murder in a string of unrealistic movies poking fun at quiet English town. I hope you will take stereotypical losers does not impress me. the time to watch and re-watch the films With that off my chest, it is time to I suggested. Hopefully 2008 will bring consider the cream of the crop.

The brewery opened in April of 1989. Brendan Moylan acts as the general partner for the brewery. The brewery only uses natural ingredients in their products. Furthermore, the brewery focuses on making unique and diverse tasting beers than those of the more common domestic breweries. Raspberry Trail Ale won two awards. The ale won gold in the California State Fair in 2005 and gold in the Best of the West in 2002. The dark brown glass bottle holds 22 fluid ounces with an alcohol by volume of 5%. Six ingredients comprise the award winning ate. The six ingredients are barley, malt, yeast, water, and natural raspberry flavoring. The bottle has a large label containing the company's logo of a swan on a lake. An array of purple and magenta hues comprises the label. A black bottle cap stamped with the yellow words California Brewed seals the ale. The ale pours soft with a half-inch thick head that disappears relatively quickly. The amber colored ale has an almost foggy tinting. The ale enters the mouth with a rapid surge of flavor that lingers on the tongue for several seconds. After the ale has disappeared a sugary film develops in the mouth causing the lips to smack in demand for more. The brewery recommends serving the ale in a glass as to release some of the flavoring. Raspberries alone are great tasting, but they are even better when used to flavor ale. Take a stroll to BevMo this week and check out this week's ale for a delicious fruit inspired delicacy. Photo by Jonathan Thompson Interview with: BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride S taff Writer Street performers at heart and gentlemen by nature, Jay, Lou, and Mickey Smart (a.k.a. The Smart Brothers) are unraveling the heartstrings of local music critics and enthusiasts alike with their old Hollywood jazz and Americana folk style. With dozens of instruments, such as ukuleles, soprano guitars, a jaw harp, slide whistle, castanets and an accordion—just to name a few—The Smart Brothers are well versed in love and harmony. Painting a picture under the stars with nothing but their beautiful melodies and flawless instrumental synchronization, the sound of The Smart Brothers is lush, rich, and soulful. How did The Smart Brothers come t o collect so many instruments? Jay Smart, the proud player of the suitcase, which doubles as a bass drum, said, "the funny thing is that they each have very strange stories behind them. For instance, we were in a pawnshop one time in the South and there was this octave mandolin there. Well, Lou walked in and said, 'I have to have that octave mandolin.' Of course we couldn't afford it, but we went back home, dug up these old sheepskin drums and other weird things, traded it all in, and got the octave mandolin." At a young age, Jay and Lou Smart garnered an appreciation for music not only as a result of their fascination for instruments, but also through the Photo courtesy of The Smart Brothers headphones of their walkmans blasting the inspirational tunes of Handel's a matter of time before the three own music,"' said Lou, and that's what "Messiah," The Beach Boys, and The they did. stumbled upon a happy accident at Beatles.

"To recreate what we do on stage is hard because it's very visual, so we're even thinking when it does come out in spring, it may be a DVD, we may really push the envelope as far as the presentation goes," said Jay. "We actually have this rule that we go by, that we don't keep any good songs, we only keep thé great songs," said Mickey, when describing their ever-evolving songwriting process. Constructing songs that embody powerful emotions and amorous imagery, it seems only natural that the inspiration for their songs comes from women. Just back in town from a cross-country winter tour, The Smart Brothers, along with their banjos, kazoos and xylophones, (along with the other dozens of instruments) strive t o please their audience and spend their lives doing what they love the most: making music. "Our whole thing is we just want to make people happy. When they come to our show, people feel like they are falling in love, and that's a good thing t o feel," said Lou. "It's a great feeling," said Jay, " when you're actually falling in love-in a relationship, that part doesn't last long, so we're trying t o drag it out a little bit." Geared with an orange VW van backed to the brim with musical gadgets, and dressed t o the nines in slacks, bowties and Gatsby-like attire, one can easily find The Smart Brothers playing a show almost any night of the week. Regulars at several venues around town and performing on the streets upwards of four or five times a week, The Smart Brothers are thinking smart in terms of getting their name and their music out and into the hearts of San Diegans.

On Monday, January 22, members of the San Marcos chapter of the California Faculty Association took part in informational picketing to educate the campus on the lack of negotiations and adequate pay raises that the CSU Board of Trustees and the Chancellor's office Photo courtesy of Campus Police Photo by Kelly Corrigan/The Pride Dr. Janet McDaniel, Professor of Education during last Monday's informational picketing. Just last year, CSUSM was hailed the Grand Champion of Recycling i n-the Recyclemania competition that has become even more popular among colleges and universities across the nation. And now, from January 28 to April 7, we are taking part in the competition once again. But this year, there's new have forced upon the faculty of the CSU system. In their effort to educate the students and the community, CSUSM professors held signs and chanted in favor of a fair Contract. Two days later, the CSU Board of Trustees gave a 4% pay raise to all CSU presidents and several top administrators, the result of what had been in the workings since July. In spite of Monday's informational picketing and November's rally when 1,000 professors and 500 students chanted in front of the Chancellor's office in Long Beach, the executives received a pay raise from the CSU Board of Trustees which would put some of them up to earning $377,000 annually. In all their efforts for gaining a fair contract and a halt in student tuition raises, this recent pay raise adds another wrinkle to the complexity of what has become a salient issue of misplaced priorities. Janet Powell, CFA President of the San Marcos chapter, said, "The CFA was not surprised by recent events of the CSU Board of Trustee's decision to raise top administrator's salaries or the Governor's Budget which will likely raise student tuition by another 10%. It is because of this' type of disregard for faculty and See RECYCLEMANIA, page 3 See CFA, page 2 BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer See CCC, page 3 CSU board of trustees g ives pay raise to top executives; profesors look to strike as only option BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Cross cultural center moves; welcomes all students The Cross Cultural Center, formerly known as the Multicultural Center, has moved from Craven IJall 4110 to Craven Hall 3400, just down the hall from the new Cougar Central.

We are concerned about the future of the CSU, our salary negotiation [is] one symptom of a much larger issue." Dr. Powell added,. "We are not against raises for anyone; all employees of the CSU are underpaid. We are just discouraged that the Board of Trustees have chosen to favor top administrators by giving significant raises to them while at the same time walking away from the faculty bargaining table." CFA Secretary, Professor Lance Newman took part in Monday's informational picketing as well. Professor Newman said, "I'm angry about the misplaced priorities of the administration, but I am hopeful that determined activism, like the possible twoday strikes, will show the depth of faculty unity and seriousness and will help convince the administration to think again." On February 6, the CFA will hold an informational meeting for all faculty in order to make the decision to strike as they take all the variables of the strike into consideration. The CFA has made it clear that the last thing they want to do is to disrupt students' studies and academic performance although it is possible that classes could be cancelled on the two day rolling strikes. Dr. Powell said, "At this point, the CFA believes that the Chancellor's Office and the Board of J Tfúste&'s* are Very4 rriuéh out óf touch with the needs of those who are at the heart of the CSU, the students, staff, and faculty. They did not get the message at our protest in November and they seem to not be getting it by our picketing now. Striking seems to us to be the only option." Professor Newman and Dr. Powell agreed that students can do their university a favor and let their voice be heard by writing letters and speaking out against the mismanagement of faculty, students and staff. Professor Newman said, "What we need most right now is a unified message from all parts of the university community—students, faculty, and staff—that says, 'It's time to rebuild our school. The CSU is the future of California, but for too many years, we've seen rising fees, stagnating salaries, and shrinking budgets.'" Dr. Powell believes that students should be involved when it comes to issues that affect them and those around them such as siblings and children. "Letter writing to the Chancellor's Office, the CSU Board of Trustee's, legislators, and the Governor are efforts all students should participate in on a regular basis. I hope that students will do whatever they think is best for themselves and future students and encourage them to research these issues and come to their own conclusions." Dr. Powell adddd, "The CSU has long been considered the 'people's university'. The promise of an accessible education is disappearing as more students will not be able to attend college due to high tuition and the university will i ot W able to recruit or retain quality professors, staff, and administrators."

Those who earn the PreDoctoral scholarship earn a free summer internship at the institution of their choice. According to Lisa Bandong, the Campus Program Coordinator, "The California Pre-Doctoral Scholarship and Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program are two scholarship programs from the Office of the Chancellor of the California State University. Both programs require CSU faculty sponsorship, and that is why our campus administers them through the Faculty Center. The funds from both of these programs come from the California State Lottery." Bandong is the go-to person when students begin the process of recieving a scholarship. She will meet with the students oneon-one to discuss their "goals, the application and selection process, and most importantly, the faculty sponsorship." The two scholarships have different requirements but both need a faulty sponsor. It's a good thing to have a relationship with the sponsor for the faculty who know the student can better support students and help students with t heij goals. Bandong's advice is for "students working consciously on building relationships with their profes- sors in all of their courses. Students should learn as much as they can about their professors' experiences and talk with their professors about their goals and plans." "The Pre-Doc is designed to increase the diversity of the pool of potential university faculty by supporting the doctoral aspirations of individuals who are CSU juniors, seniors or graduate students that are economically and educationally disadvantaged" said Bandong. "The Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program seeks to provide loans to doctoral students who are interested in applying and competing for CSU instructional faculty positions after completion of the doctoral degree." The Chancellor's Doctoral has a forgivable loan for students who return to teach at a CSU campus, and once they begin teaching, 20% of the loan is forgiven with every year of service. Though the scholarship does not guarantee employment to any of the CSU's, it definitely helps decrease money owed if students decide to work in the CSU system.

The Campœ Policetìps line ext is 8 477, : ' : Bartleby.com is a literature haven that combines a hybrid selection of classic and modern literature ready for reference. The website offers—for free—a huge resource of everything from English usage guides to quick reference of famous quotations, encyclopedias, dictionaries, a thesaurus, poetry, fiction, and non-fiction literature. For students this means easy access to a lot of information. Some of the information offered is otherwise expensive and/or hard to find. Bartleby comes in handy for little things like figuring out: "who was it that said that one famous quote, anyway?" As Gertrude Stein says, "Writing and reading is to me synonymous with existing," and this is just one example of the thousands of famous quotes that can be easily found on Bartleby. With the 2,500 word writing requirement per course at CSUSM, sooner than later most CSUSM students can and should utilize these references. With Bartleby students can quickly have access to key pointers in the correct usage for the sometimes confusing words like "affect" and "effect," or "accept" and "except." Additionally, the expansive encyclopedias can be extremely helpful. The website also contains full texts of anthologies and volumes of classic literature, including Charles Dickens, Aesops Fables, Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne and F. Scott Fitzgerald, and offers access to the poetry of Emily Dickinson, T.S. Eliot, Robert Frost, John Keats, William Shakespeare, and Oscar Wilde, to name a few. The verse, fiction and non-fiction collections offered by the website are unique indeed. If one happens to be "falling, upon the thorns of life," in the name of Shelley, searching for Poe or Dickinson, or just need some guidance with "Beowulf," Bartleby has the easy button readily available for students and professors alike. In 1993, Bartelby.com offered their viewers the -first publication of its kind, an electronic version of Walt Whitman's, "Leaves of Grass." The New York based website boasts 370,000 web pages, 10,000 poems, and an elaborate collection of quotations at over 86,000, which is the largest collection available to date. Also offered are the latest versions of the "Columbia Encyclo- pedia" and "The American Heritage Dictionary." According to the website, Steven H. van Leeuwen, the President, Chairman and Founder of Bartleby started it as a research experiment concerning electronic publishing, but the experiment quickly developed into the vast accessible resource that it is today. When a viewer feels that he or she is ready to purchase a favorite selection for one's private collection, Bartleby also offers books for sale in connection with Amazon.com. Bartleby and Amazon forge the common goal to accelerate the wide availability of literature. William Shakespeare himself might have done research at this website, had the resource been available to him.

In the near future you will not be able to access most of the websites you visit daily, unless these websites pay a premium to Internet Service providers, such as AT&T, Time-Warner and Comcast. Your high speed internet will not apply to any site you go to, but only those chosen by your Cable Company or Internet Service Provider (ISP). This is not a warning, this is already happening, and the Internet needs our help. If you are not yet familiar with the term "Net-Neutrality" this is nothing new; bloggers, active citizens, websites, and activists have been trying to bring attention to the topic for years. According to www.savetheinternet.com "When we log onto the Internet, we take lots of things for granted. We assume that we'll be able to access whatever website we want, whenever we want to go there. We assume that we can use any feature we like; watching videos online, listening to podcasts, searching for information, emailing, and instant messaging, anytime we choose. We also assume that we can attach devices like wireless routers, game controllers, or extra hard drives to make our online experience better. What makes all these assumptions possible is ,TNetwork Neutrality," the guiding principle that ensures the Internet remains free and unrestricted. Net Neutrality prevents the companies that control the wires bringing you the Internet from discriminating against content based on its ownership or source. But that could all change. The biggest cable and telephone com- panies would like to charge money for smooth access to Web sites, speed to run applications, and permission to plug in external devices. These network conglomerates believe they should be able to charge website operators, application providers, and device manufacturers for the right to use the network. Those who don't make ä deal and pay up will experience discrimination: Their sites won't load as quickly, their applications and devices won't work as well. Without legal protection, consumers could find that a network operator has blocked the website of a competitor, or slowed it down so much that it's unusable. It now falls to the Senate to save the cable companies, including AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and Time Warner, want to free and open Internet.

That may be something of a shock to, hear from a sports writer, especially one who loves football. But hear me out on this one. The game is built up for two weeks. It is talked about in the media for those 14 days as, the greatest game that will ever be played, and more times than not I have admitted to seeing better high school games. ^ The long break in between the conference championship gsmes also gives the media plenty of opportunity to beat the same stories to death. I can't tell you how many times I have heard that Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy are the first black coaches to make it to the Super Bowl. Also, how Dungy gave Smith his first job in the NFL and how they are best friends. I wish I could tell ESPN that I only need to hear these things once. I also know that Peyton Manning has yet to win the big game and that Adam Vinatieri has been the difference in three Super Bowl titles. Also, don't mention the fact that Mike Ditka coached the 1985 Bears, which won the Super Bowl. Oh, arid I do know that Rex Grossman has been sketchy this season. If I hear one iftore thing about Marvin Harrison and Manning being in sync for more touchdowns than any other duo in NFL history I may actually puke. I also know that Harrison is unlike all the other receivers in the league in that fact that he talks with his game and not his mouth, so save that as well. What may annoy me more than all the story lines being thrown at me is that everyone thinks they are an expert on who is going to win. Everyone from the casual fan to the "experts" on Sportscenter have a take on who is going to win. The following are different reasons I have heard for why each team is going to win. The Colts' offense is too good. The Bears' defense is too good. The Colts' defense isn't reliable. The Bears' offense is too inconsistent. All of that is just the build up to the game. The actual game pisses me off more than the build up. The game takes like half a day to play because there are so many media timeouts for the multimillion dollar advertisements to be played on television. By the time the game gets to halftime we have to see an hour concert from some singer who is so washed up their skin is wrinkled. I really don't want to see the symbol, Prince, perform in the middle of a football game. If I really wanted to see Prince perform I would turn the way back machine to the 1980s. Not to mention the announcers. CBS isn't as bad as FOX, but they are still ~ pretty hacky. If I hear another announcer duo trying to be a couple of stand-up comedians I might reach the point of putting the television on mute and recording my own commentary to the games. With all that said, I am still going to watch the game because of the Super Bowl pools and great food at the parties.

Pite^tMmi^ �Super Bowl XLI * Thoughts and predictions about the game W hy t he Chicago Bears will win BY MIKE MILLBURN Pride Staff Writer First, I feel compelled to mention the oh-so-small detail that I absolutely loathe the Bears. As a rabid fan of Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers, I find the fact that they are in the Super Bowl detestable. That being said, however, I believe that they will in fact handle the Colts and win their first Lombardi Trophy since the mid-1980s. The biggest factor for the Bears is the brain of quarterback Rex Grossman. While I don't doubt his arm, it is his decision making that will be the largest area of concern. He has been a proverbial Jekyll and Hyde this season; one week he'll play like Johnny Unitas, the next week he'll look like former Charger vagabond Ryan Leaf. Whether or not he keeps his head in the game will go a long way towards determining a Bears win. The Bears' backs will have a big game against a suspicious Colts run defense. While the Colts' defense has played well during the playoffs, they still give up 173 rushing yards per game. Expect the platoon of Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson to have a monster day. The receivers are not great, but they get the job done. Mushin Muhammad and Bernard Berrian are the main targets, but don't discount backups Rashied Davis and Mark Bradley. They are more than capable of catching the deep ball and burning the Colts' defensive secondary. While the Bears are definitely a run-first team, the pass game is capable of taking over a game. The Bears' offensive line is one of the best in the business, led by center Olin Kreutz and right guard Roberto Garza. The Colts' defensive line has been beaten up all season by teams with dom- W hy t he Indianapolis Colts will win inant O-lines, and it will happen again as the pocket should keep Rex Grossman upright for most of the game. Now to the bread and butter of the Bears: their vaunted defense. The team's front seven is only equaled in ferocity by the San Diego Chargers. While they will be without all-world defensive tackle Tommie Harris, this line is still dangerous, as they have combined for 31 sacks. Don't get me wrong, the Colts' offensive line is a good one (as Peyton Manning has been sacked only 14 times this season), but they have not faced a line this good all season. Manning will have nightmares about these guys in the offseason. The three linebackers could start for any team in the league, and are the heart and soul of the defense. The unquestioned leader is middle linebacker Brian Urlacher, who may be the best linebacker of the last 15 years, though Ray Lewis may argue that statement. A six-time Pro Bowler, Urlacher is joined by fellow Pro Bowler Lance Briggs, who led the team with 113 solo tackles. The strong-side backer, Hunter Hillenmeyer, is a future star in the league. The secondary has speed everywhere, starting with corners Charles Tillman and Nathan Vasher. But the most dangerous member of the secondary is rookie Devin Hester. Imagine a younger and faster Dante Hall and you'll get Hester, who can return the ball for a touchdown every time he touches it. Safety Danieal Manning is another rookie who is getting better at just the right time. While the offense does just enough to get by, the defense and special teams are far too good to ignore; they will overwhelm the Colts and win the big game 27-17 with Thomas Jones claiming the MVP. BY PAUL BAIMBRIDGE Pride Staff Writer For the first time in 36-years, the Baltimore...oops, Indianapolis Colts are back in the Super Bowl. It has been a while since their last visit back in Super Bowl V when they were the Baltiihore Colts. If you only watched the regular season you'd think I'm crazy for saying this, but their defense is a big reason why they are going to win the Super Bowl. Their No. 32 ranked run defense during the regular season was one of the worst in NFL history, giving up 173-yards per game and even gave up 375-yards to the Jacksonville Jaguars on December 10. That defense isn't the same defense that is now in the Super Bowl. Of the three playoff games, their defense has given up 32-yards to Larry Johnson, 53 to Jamal Lewis and 93 to the plethora of runners New England trots out. The Colts defense is stingy and they just stopped three of the top eight offenses the AFC has to offer. Now from the Colts' defense to the opponent's defense. New England's defense is known throughout the NFL as being very confusing, showing different looks in order to confuse the quarterback and making it difficult to read the coverage. New England's defense was ranked No. 6 during the season, right behind Chicago, which was ranked No. 5. The Patriots gave up a total of 14.8 ppg, second only to the Ravens, a team the Colts literally kicked to death 15-6, which gave up 12.6 ppg. Chicago's defense shouldn't be too hard, since the Colts figured a way around New England and Baltimore. How about Rex? Rex Grossman has been in the league since 2003 but has been riddled with injuries until this year. David Church Colts 25, Bears 24 MVP; Adam Vinatieri 4-4 FG's Joshua Sandoval Bears 34, Colts 30 MVP; Rex Grossman 24-30 3 T Ds 290 yards p He is an up and coming QB in this league, but his talent is still raw. The Super Bowl is just too big for an inexperienced and inconsistent QB like Grossman to come in and beat a guy like Peyton Manning when it matters most. Manning finally beat the Patriots; every single time the media dubs it the Colts' year the Patriots have been there to give them the boot. It happened in the AFC Championship game in 2003 and in the Divisional round in 2004. If Manning wanted to get to, and win, the Super Bowl he was going to have to go through the Patriots. Manning has beaten the Patriots, is now in the big game and is ready for this moment. There is a resiliency about the Colts this year that I have never seen in previa ous years. Every time the Colts lose in the playoffs they always lose without putting up a fight. We've seen them win big in the playoffs, but wow do they lose horribly; 20-3 to the Patriots in 2004, 24-14 to the Patriots in 2003 and 41-0 to the Jets in 2002. The Colts seem like they actually want it and you can see it in the way they play. When it was 21-6 at the half against the Patriots in the AFC championship the Colts were never out of it. Manning hurt his finger on his throwing hand during the gam£ and almost came out of the game. What did Manning and the Colts do? The defense held, Manning stayed in the game and led them on the eventual winning drive.

With a group of mainly freshman, sprinkled with some veteran experience, Coach Dennis Pugh leads the Cougars into their first year of play. lt won't be instant success with this bunch but the near future is bright. Coach Pugh is a San Diego area coaching legend and his track record speaks for itself. As coach at Mission Bay high school, his teams won 18 league titles and 8 CIF championships. When asked about the acquisition of Coach Pugh, Athletic Director Dr. Stephen Nichols said, "We are really, really lucky. Pugh's name carries weight". Nichols even went as far to say that he did "cartwheels" in his office because he immediately recognized the potential for the program to compete. Nichols, who attended Long Beach State and Ohio State, understands the impor- edge that there are some expectations in tance of having major sports such as base- this first year. ball at CSUSM.

For more information on baseball and other sports check the athletics website on the CSUSM homepage. To come out and support the team, head over to San Marcos High School located at 1615 W. San Marcos Blvd, a couple miles from campus. The next home game is Friday February 2 at 2p.m. If you like offense, this team should be very entertaining to watch. When asked if he had any comments to the student body, Coach Pugh said, "Come on out. We're here for the students. They voted for this program and we appreciate that." that. "We're basically two-deep at every position," explains Milo. "The friendly competition for playing time is helping push the players." The squad's excellent pitching staff will be throwing to catchers Tasha Stokes and Lindsey Preovolos. While both are very talented in their own right, Coach Milo expects them to split time throughout the season, due to the physical demands of playing the position. They're also solid at the plate - Stokes has "tremendous" power, according to Milo, and the potential to be an All-American. In fact, both players will likely be in the lineup at the same time, with the one that's not catching playing first base. Sophomore Aly Brown will be in the rotation there as well. At second base, Milo believes she has a good mix of players who are all solid defensively. Freshman Malarie Barnard will definitely see a lot of action there, and Erica Coelho figures to play second when she's not pitching. Filling the key position of shortstop will be Holly Russell and Samantha Valenzuela. Russell, a Mission Hills High grad, is one of the team's most experienced players. She's expected to bat in the middle of the lineup due to her excellent hitting potential and power. Freshman Amanda Sanchez is expected to play third. She has very good reaction time - a crucial trait to playing the hot corner. Melissa Lerno, whose .353 batting average at Palomar was overshadowed by her pitching, will also see time at third when she's not on the mound. Coach Milo expects the outfield to be the strength of the team's defense. "As whole, they're very quick and cover a lot of ground," she says. "All our outfielders could play any position in the outfield." Leading the group is centerfielder Danielle Tucker. Lake Elsinore High's 2006 Female Athlete of the Year, Tucker's commitment this fall to giving 110% effort at all times earned her co-captain status on the Cougar softball team. Her blazing speed serves her well both in the field and at the plate, where the slap-hitter is expected to bat leadoff for the team. Joining Tucker as a co-captain is leftfielder Leilani Madrigal. As the only junior on the team's freshman-heavy roster, Madrigal provides leadership and experience to the group. She also provides a great bat - a .535 average at Los Angeles Valley College. She'll likely hit second and share time in the outfield with Clairemont High grad Lauren Turner. Finally, right field is expected to be anchored by Elizabeth Bush and Joy Leon. Leon was Fallbrook High's Most Valuable. Offensive Player last year, and is moving to the outfield from first base. Bush, also a freshman, will see time in centerfield as well as right. Though the Cougars' inaugural team brings plenty of talent to the table, making the playoffs will be a challenge. CSUSM competes in the very difficult Region II of the NAIA, and will face all the powerhouse schools from the Golden State Athletic Conference (GSAC). According to Coach Milo, the biggest key to succeeding will be for players to step into leadership roles and carry the team through its tightly-packed 50-game schedule. The team will also need support from the Cougar community, and all fans are encouraged to head out to Mission Hills High to catch some great softball action. The squad will lead off its season on Saturday, February 10th in a home double-header against Vanguard University starting at noon. Admission is always free, so come out and support your CSUSM softball team throughout its first season! �Cou Words Courtesy of The Pride Across 1.

I'll tell you what you get, Hop Scotch, you get one heck of a funny movie. It's hard to believe that the screenplay for "Night at the Museum" was written by two men who also gave us "Reno 911!" but Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon, along with director Shawn Levy, have turned out a truly great family film - so great, in fact, that I've seen it twice ~ once with friends and once with family. I will add a word of caution for people with very young or very sensitive children: there are a couple of scenes that could get pretty intense, especially for children who are afraid of mummies, dinosaurs, or skeletons. These scenes and some crude humor are what earn the movie its PG rating. In "Night at the Museum," Ben Stiller stars as Larry, a divorced father who has a new get-rich^ quick scheme every month. Worried about disappointing his son yet again, Larry takes a job as the new night guard at the Museum of Natural History in New York. Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney, and Bill Cobbs play the guards who trick Larry into taking over their jobs. Larry quickly learns that, thanks to a magic Egyptian tablet, all of the museum's exhibits come alive between sunset and sunrise. Larry's job is to keep the exhibits from escaping without destroying the museum or getting himself killed in the process. This is no small task since the museum's exhibitions read like a list of History's Most Wanted, from Neanderthals to Mongols. Owen Wilson and Steve Coogan give him particular trouble as a cowboy and a Roman general who answer the question, "What would happen if Roman expansion ever came up against Manifest Destiny?" Robin Williams rounds out the stars as the wise, if a bit nutty, Teddy Roosevelt, who alternately cajoles and coerces Larry into responsibility and heroism. With such an amazing cast, it's hard to imagine how "Night at the Museum" could have gone wrong. Ben Stiller gives a good performance, and Dick Van Dyke will always be one of my favorite actors. It's well worth sticking around through the credits to see their outtakes. However, Mickey Rooney steals the show as an octogenarian with a short man's complex who likes to pick fights with epithets Image courtesy of 20th Century Fox like "lunch box," "applesauce," and "butterscotch." In addition to the major stars, "Night at the Museum" has a talented supporting cast. Ricky Gervais, from the British "The Office," is brilliant as the museum director. Carla Gugino plays a sweet, strong, and intelligent love interest for Larry, and Brad Garrett voices a comically belligerent Easter Island head. The exceptional acting and exciting story all but hide the film's few "What the heck?" and "Hey wait a minute!" moments. One particularly confusing scene shows a shadowy figure sneaking into a dark room and doesn't seem to have made any sense to anyone I talked to. I was also left with some serious doubts about the credentials of the curators at this fictional museum. Since when does a natural history museum have exhibits about Columbus, Mongols, Aztecs, and the Civil War? Since when does an ostrich belong in an exhibit on African mammals? Also, why do the ancient Romans speak English, while Columbus speaks Italian and Genghis Khan speaks gibberish? Ultimately, however, I think these are all fun questions to debate with friends which add to the movie's humor rather than take away from its appeal.

Festivities began with a performance by world famous singer/ song writer Magdalen Hsu-Li. Hsu-Li was raised Chinese-American in the rural southern regions of the United States. She says, "Unity is hard to find," referring to her song, "Divided State". After Hsu-Li's performance, attendees were treated to egg rolls, fried rice and chow mien noodles.

Funds available to alleviate school debt Free HIV testing may not draw in enough students BY PIYAMAS SABLAN Pride Staff Writer With the approaching deadline for the 2006-2007 CSUSM General Scholarship, students are hurrying to take advantage of the opportunity to alleviate some, if not all, school-related debt. "We offer 34 scholarships at CSUSM. We use only one application for all 34 scholarships," said Michele L. Ojeda, scholarship coordinator for the financial aid and scholarship office. "Each of the 34. scholarships has its own requirements. They range anywhere from requiring a 3.5 GPA, and be a major in Biology, Chemistry or Computer Science (Fenstermaker Scholarship) to The Bree Tinney Re-Entry Scholarship which requires that a student be a female, undergraduate, re-entry single parent with at least a 3.0 GPA. So each scholarship that we offer has its own special requirements." The General Scholarship requires that applicants provide basic personal information, See SCHOLARSHIP, page 2 BY ANDREW M. RUISENOR Pride Staff Writer Free and anonymous HIV testing will be available to students on Wednesday, Feb. 1 at the Student Health and Counseling Services, but despite the peace of mind the test can offer, many students will chose not to take advantage of the service. A common opinion, voiced by many students, follows a logic similar with 'it has nothing to do with me' as if somehow immune to the potentially deadly disease. Even with the opportunity of getting your results back in 20 minutes with the Orasure test, students will continue to pass up this opportunity, for peace of mind. When talking to Nick Tollison a 20-year-old Junior here at CSUSM about getting this free anonymous HIV testing, he expressed his reason for not getting tested; "I'm not worried that I have it. I feel comfortable in the things I have done to be as safe as possible." And when asked if knowing give him peace of mind, Tollison said: See HIV, page 2 All guests received "li xi" envelopes for a raffle drawing. Each "li xi" (a small red envelope often used to exchange "luck money") contained fortunes tucked inside. One lucky recipient received the fortune of the dog inside their envelope, winning a beautiful golden dog figurine. The event also featured the traditional Lion Dance, performed by the San Diego Lucky Lion Dancers, which spreads good luck to all. The Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is celebrated as one of the most important holidays in Asian countries.

Mariscal is currently a faculty member at the University of California, San Diego, the director of the UCSD Chicano/ Latino/Arts and Humanities Program as well as the associate director of the UCSD California in Comparative Perspectives Program. Professor Jorge Mariscal Mariscal has lectured throughout the United States, Mexico • and the University of Havana, Cuba. He is a veteran of the Viet Nam War and has written on many cultural and historical issues including Latinos in the military and the Chicano Movement of the late 1960s. Many of the topics at this lecture will be taken from Mariscal's latest book, "BrownEyed Children of the Sun: Lessons from the Chicano Movement, 1965-1975." One of the main issues addressed will be the way the Chicano Movement has been taught at the university level for the last 30 years. He will be providing a background on the Chicano Movement during the Viet Nam war era and relate important issues to the current conditions for Latinos in the United States. The basic message of the presentation, according to Mariscal, is that people of Mexican descent have played an important role in the U.S. history. "There is no need to fear immigrants and other Spanish speaking communities in the United States even when they, like immigrant groups in the past, insist on maintaining their linguistic and cultural traditions," said Mariscal. Professor Mariscal has plans to continue to collaborate more with the NLRC and would like to see more permanent structures with the center and UCSD. Mariscal believes that these two institutions will help each other learn about populations of color in northern and southern regions of La Jolla. The NLRC specializes in research and training on the Latino population. "I would like people to learn something about the history of Mexican American activism in the United States, the role played by Chicanos and Chicanas in the progressive struggles of the late 1960s and the need to renew our efforts to achieve equal opportunity for Latinos," said Mariscal. The lecture will be held in the Clarke Field House Grand Salon at 6:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. For more information call the NLRC at 760.750.3500.

With that, the Director of the Student Health & Counseling Services, Dr. Karen Nicholson said in reference to HIV testing "There is always a possibility of exposure. It is better to know sooner rather then later.. .because precautions are not just condoms." Nicholson further said, "HIV is still prevalent in our communities, it may not be in the news but it is still there." Well, it is in the news today, because one person infected with HIV should be enough to get tested and prompt the use of protection for safe and healthy sex because HIV is still infecting those around you.

The application also includes a required typed two page essay, detailing student involvement in campus activities and community, academic experiences, future academic or career goals, and any adversity that has been overcome. According to Ojeda, students should be creative and take their time when writing the essay because the essay can be a deciding factor in the scholarship selection process. "We would suggest that student's take 5 or 10 minutes to read through all 34 scholarships that we have listed on our website. In addition, the majority of our scholarships do require that the student have 'financial need'," according to Ojeda. "This is determined by the student completing a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), every January. This application also has a March 2 priority deadline." The Financial Aid and Scholarship Office received 527 applications for the 2005-2006 academic school year, but the office hopes to receive more with each upcoming year, added Ojeda. Applicants that meet the requirements for each of the 34 scholarships are determined by running the applications through individual reports. A Faculty Review Committee reads through every application and essay, meets to discuss each of the applicants, comes to a consensus, then makes a decision; and while the Faculty Review Committee makes the initial decisions, the scholar donors prefer to make the final decisions. "EVERYONE should apply! It is not a difficult process and it could pay off big time for you. Our scholarships range anywhere from $150 to $7000!" said Ojeda. "We offer our General Scholarship Application every year. But we also post in our office individual scholarship applications for outside scholarship sources. We encourage students to stop by our office periodically and check out what we have posted." Priority applications are due no later than March 2, 2006 and can be picked up in the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office, in Craven Hall 4204, or on their website at www.csusm. edu/finaid/scholarship. Applications and essays can be mailed, dropped off at the financial aid and scholarship office, faxed to 760.750.3047 or e-mailed to scholarship@csusm.edu.

Those born under this sign tend to be very loyal, kind and generous. They will also work hard to right wrongs and are very good at keeping secrets. Western Zodiacs are known to emphasize similar traits in their signs. Traditionally, the Lunar New Year celebration starts with the New Moon and ends with the Full. Certain days are set aside for specific events or activities, some are for visiting friends and family, while others are designated to clean and decorate your home so as to "sweep away the bad luck" or "old spirits" from the year before. The color red, considered the luckiest of all colors, is a very important aspect to the Lunar New Year and is used throughout the decorations, while red clothing is worn to help bring that person good luck. Festivities also include the lighting of firecrackers to ward away bad luck and evil spirits. Each of the decorations at the APSS celebration held a specific meaning necessary for having a good New Year. The walls were decorated with Chinese poems written on red paper that wished happiness, health and prosperity. The centerpieces on the tables were decorated with bamboo, tangerines and an assortment of candies, bamboo signifying compatibility while tangerines and oranges represent abundant happiness. The assortment of candy is arranged in either a circle or octagon and is called "The Tray of Togetherness" and each type of candy represents good fortune. The APSS president was happy to call the night a success saying that "people enjoyed themselves, came together as a community on campus, and spread diversity through unity and learning." In addition to campus-wide celebrations, San Diego hosted a Lunar New Year event f roma new venue, at Qualcomm Stadium. In conjunction with the Vietnamese New Year, called The Tet Celebration, this three day celebration was hosted by the Vietnamese American Youth Alliance from Friday, Jan. 27 through Sunday, Jan. 28. The celebration at Qualcomm Stadium had something for everyone, from all ages to all cultures and walks of life. For children, there were many booths set up with games, and even some carnival rides. The Miss Vietnam of San Diego pageant also coincided with the event. Many local and international artists performed songs and dances on the main stage amid the delicious smells of food booths representing an array of cultures. "Having Tet at Qualcomm Stadium is a great idea; it brings greater awareness to not only the Asian community, but to everyone else in this city as well," said DJ Happee of San Diego's radio hip-hop station, Z90.3. In the past, festivities were held in smaller parts of the city where the educational value and awareness was limited. To see the event moved to Qualcomm Stadium was a momentous occasion for the Vietnamese community. Got Deutsch? The German Club seeks to expand their membership BY KATRENA ROBINSON Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos' German Club hopes to recruit new members who share enthusiasm for German culture, traditions and helping to bring a 'taste' of Germany to the campus. "Getting involved with a club or student organization makes the whole school experience worth while/' said Jean Scheuneman, president of the German Club. The club meets odd Thursday's at 1 p.m. in front of the campus Starbucks. Members use this time to have f un and discuss any necessary club business. To join, prospective members do not need to be German or know German, but must share an enthusiasm for the German culture. And with no dues, the German Club is ideal for any student's budget. Among many of the proud contributions the club has made to the campus, last year's Oktoberfest attracted a considerably large crowd of hungry students. It was the mouth-watering aroma of barbecue drifting through the air and the delicious taste of plump bratwurst that helped to familiarize students with the German Club. Beyond the bratwurst, the event also unveiled the coveted 'Weenie Award,' in which par- ticipants were provided a rare opportunity to project a sausage onto a marked target. In addition to Oktoberfest, the German Club is also involved in the International Fair. This event provides students with the opportunity to sample traditional dishes while also being immersed in the details within each culture. The German Club is always recruiting, willing to take anyone and everyone interested, according to Scheuneman. "I love school so much more now that I am involved with a File Photo Octoberfest 2005 / The Pride club," mentioned Scheuneman.

But growing in front of Craven Hall are two special oak trees. Smooth tan bark covers the trunks, and small green leaves cover the branches. A gold plaque stands between them. These are the "Twin Oak Trees" planted in 1995 in honor of the late Marie Van Ness by her husband, Donald. Donald Van Ness died in 2000 at the age of 86. He and Marie moved to Rancho Bernardo in 1977. He was a retired Navy captain and served in World War II. Carol Bonomo, CSUSM director of legislative affairs, said, "Don was an entrepreneur who used to love to say why work forty hours a week for somebody else when he could work eighty hours a week for himself." Bonomo said that Van Ness made his money in a dry cleaning business. "He was one of those folks who decided if he was going to be in the dry cleaning business, he'd be the best in the business. Apparently he was." Van Ness supported a number of charities, including the San Diego Zoo, and was one of the founders of Sharp Hospital. According to Bonomo, the Van Nesses became acquainted with the first president of CSUSM, William Stacey, through mutual friends. According to his Oct. 26, 2000 obituary in the North County Times, Van Ness was a member of the university foun- O n Campus- Math Lab BY KATIE ROWE Pride Staff Writer The Math Lab, located in the dark and somewhat poorly ventilated dungeon of the library, provides important services to students.

He donated a $1 million dollar endowment to the university "for the development of entrepreneur and business studies." After Marie died, Dr. Stacey suggested that Don plant the two oaks in her memory. Russ Decker, Director of Planning, Design, and Construction, said that as the Twin Oaks grow, their branches will some day create a canopy of leaves, representing the bond between Don and Marie Van Ness. The plaque between the trees reads "Twin Oak Trees. Contributed by Donald O.

U .S.ARMY �Jock Talk with Josh: Super Bowl preview By JOSH SANDOVAL Special to The Pride Sports are all about the fairy tale e nding. As kids we all play out the scenario w here it's fourth and goal, and the Super Bowl is tied with one second left on the clock. Of course, we always score the game winning touchdown. Not every player gets the opportunity to win a championship. Just ask Jerome Bettis. After the Steelers lost in the AFC championship last season to New England, Bettis took his time in choosing to return for a 13 NFL season. He returned, and now he is playing in hisfirstSuper Bowl, which just so happens to be held in Detroit, Bettis' hometown. There are very few people in th the NFL who deserve a championship more than "The Bus". The entire Steelers team has made it known that they were playing this season for Bettis. Last season when Pittsburgh lost to New England, Hines Ward broke out in tears during a press conference because he thought that was the last game Bettis was ever going to play. When Bettis fumbled at the goal line against Indianapolis in the Divisional playoffs, Robert Mathis picked up the fumble for the Colts and only one thing ran through Ben Roethlisberger's mind. He needed to make the tackle for his buddy Jerome. The Steelers have the clear advantage because they are playoff tested. The Seahawks franchise has never even been to a Super Bowl. Ya, okay, so they have the reigning NFL MVP in running back Shaun Alexander. I would much rather have Jerome Bettis and Willy Parker, because if the Steelers grab a lead, they will not lose it since they have the best ball control offense in the NFL with two run- ning backs who have two completely different styles. Parker is the speedy slasher. When the Steelers need a big play they go to him. Bettis is the bulldozer who is guaranteed to get the short yardage first downs. This means that their running game is never tired and is always an option. The Steelers also have the intangibles like a defense that is filled with playmakers such as Troy Polamalu, Joey Porter and James Farrior. They also have the ability to pull out one trick play a game, so don't be surprised if you see something odd. Ben Roethlisberger is 26-4 in his career as a starter and the Steelers have all the momentum in the world with seven consecutive wins. I never thought I would see a No. 6 seed beat a No. 1 seed in the Super Bowl, but it is going to happen on February 5 when the Steelers win 31-24.

Intramural league CSUSM repares to put Spring sports phree-on-three t preview BY ERIN YOUNG Pride Staff Writer With spring sports gearing up, our coaches and athletes are hard at work training for what looks like a promising season for Cal State San Marcos. Men's golf ranked third in the country, and women's in the top 10. They are expected to qualify for nationals and bring home a taste of victory. Track andfieldhas higher expectations for their soon to be All Americans this spring, but with sending eight athletes to nationals in 2005, it's going to be hard to beat. "We're very excited for Spring 2006, our teams will do well and I'm sure exceed all of our expectations," said Dr. Nichols, athletic director of Cal State San Marcos. Spring 2006 is looking good, and with four new teams on the rise for Fall 2006 and Spring 2007, our athletics at Cal State San Marcos arefinallycoming around. Men and women's soccer, starting in Fall, both coached by Ron Pulvers, is an exciting new addition for CSUSM. Coach Pulvers was at Baker University in Kansas where he coached soccer for 10 years and built an impressive coach's resume. Baseball, starting in Spring 2007, is coached by Dennis Pugh. Coach Pugh has several state championships under his belt and is gracing us with his presence after coaching for Mission Bay High School. Jennifer Mioo is the head coach for CSUSM's softball, starting in spring 2007. She has her master's degree in academic counseling and has already recruited a full set of players. "It's an exciting time for Cal State San Marcos as we build and add new sports and amazing coaches to our lineup," said Dr. Nichols. BY LAWRENCE DURBIN Special to The Pride Although the NFC champions, No. 1 seeded Seahawks, are coming in as 4 point underdogs to the AFC champion Pittsburgh Steelers, I wouldn't count them out just yet. This team which is coming into its first Super bowl appearance in franchise history with a 15-3 record, has a few advantages against the favored Steelers. Mike Holmgren, their coach, is a veteran when it comes to the Super bowl scene; he took the 1998 Green Bay Packers to Super bowl XXXI and beat the New England Patriots 3521. Steelers' head coach Bill Cowher can't say that he has ever tasted Super bowl victory. At the helm of the Seahawks offense is Matt Hasselbeck, a 7 year quarterback out of Boston College with a completion percentage of 66.7 this year. Hasselbeck has accounted for 25 touchdowns this year. Behind Hasselbeck will be the always dangerous Shaun Alexander, who coming into this game has accounted for 1880 of the Seahawks rushing yards this season, which is the highest in the NFL. He also scored 27 touchdowns. Hasselbeck and Alexander aren't the only threats on this already amazing offense; they are assisted by Wide Receivers Joe Jurevicius, BY NATASHA HECKENDORN Pride Staff Writer Three-on-three intramural breaks down to $5 per player. basketball is now available to Each team must have a capall Cal State San Marcos stu- tain who is required to attend dents, regardless of skill level. a captain's meeting on January Any student with Friday 30 or 31 from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 afternoons available and a pair p.m. The $15 fee will be payof tennis shoes can sign up able at that time.

The benefit of intramurals The cost is $15 per team, which extends beyond alternative th an eight year veteran out of Penn State, and also Seneca Wallace, a third year veteran out of Iowa State, with an average of almost seven yards per reception. One of the major questions for this team is how they are going to stand up against the Steelers' defensive line. The answer is the o-line leader, Robbie Tobeck, who along with being an outstanding center was recognized for his talent by being added to the Pro bowl roster. All of this would mean nothing without the support of their outstanding defense which has been lead by the 5'11", 238 pound rookie from Southern California, Lofa Tatupu, who coming into the Super bowl has four sacks, nineteen assists, eighty-five tackles and a partridge and a pear tree. This guy has got everything that a defensive coordinator could ask for, and he is only a rookie, and by the way, will also be taking a trip to Honolulu for this year's Pro bowl. What I just can't get over is that this team came into the post season with the number one record in the NFC and now they are the underdogs. Nevertheless, this year's Super bowl is really starting to show all the signs of a great game. Both teams are relatively healthy and ready to take home that beautiful trophy and all the bragging rights that come with it. I am sure it is easy to tell who my money will be on: 24-17 Seattle. exercise. A lot of students like to participate in sports, but are reluctant to join a school team because they are so demanding on the student's time. However, organizing a basketball game with friends can be challenging, especially when so many students work. Intramurals allow students to get together and play a sport in a fun, relaxing environment. There is no organized practice and there's no pressure to win. "It's a great way to hang out with friends on Friday and do something fun," said Nemat- bakhsh. Getting exercise doesn't have to involve a boring treadmill and fun with friends doesn't have to involve drinking. Participating in intramurals is a fun alternative to doing sets at the gym or playing video games with friends. Even students who have never played basketball can come out and try something different. "It's a great way to meet new people," said Nematbakhsh. If interested, please call 760.750.6010 or email nemat002@csusm.edu. seventh place and the B team taking 20 . Some of the surfers on the team have had practice competing in other contests such as the Volcom and Matix/ Sun Diego Pro/Ams. Jeremy Cannon explained, "When you are surfing for money it's important to make more rounds. This creates an incen- tive to surf more conservatively in order to continue advancing." With the college teams, the surfers have more of an incentive to go all out in every heat because gathering points is the main focus. The surf team's next event will be held in Carlsbad on Monday, February 20 . Making Waves in 2006 BY HEATHER M. ZEMAN Special to The Pride Taking tenth at the National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA) National Championship last June only got the men and women of CSUSM's surf team itching to get back in the water for the 20052006 season. The top ten was great, but according to captain Jeremy Cannon, "The top five, and eventually the top three, is where I'd really like to see Cal State, and we have the potential to do so." The veteran surfers on the team were ready to get tryouts underway this fall. With the loss of three valuable surfers due to graduation, injury and other circumstances, the team was stoked to pick up four equally valuable and competitive surfers this year. On January 16, the men and women that made up CSUSM's A and B teams met up at the Huntington Beach Pier to go against 24 other schools at the second event of the season. Points are accumulated by each surfer that advances to the next round. Jeremy Cannon earned 17 points for the A team after advancing to the quarterfinals. Third year veteran Sean Hastings also racked up some points by making it into the third heat. The B team's Erin Lewis earned 12 points and a third place finish in the women's final. The day ended in the CSUSM A team taking th th �Letter to the Editor: Where have all the whiskers goneP Since classes started back up, I've been on campus a week now and have yet to see any of them. I suspect there are still a few around, but I know in my heart that many have died, probably having been poisoned. I know this because I bore witness to one death at the end of last semester. Ifindit odd, upon reflection, that those responsible for the "regulation" would start the "process" before classes were actually out. I mean, why would they want there to be any witnesses? Perhaps they just miscalculated. Those of you reading this are probably wondering, 'what the heck?' Fellow student, have you noticed that the "whiskers," A.K. A. native cottontail rabbits, are... a bit, oh, shall we say, a bsent... okay, how about lesser in number than they were last semester? Do you think this is because the local coyotes came in during winter break and thinned them out? Did you ever give it any thought at all? Ah, now you're curious (I hope). I can't say with certainty, so I'm not going to, but I suspect that the campus facilities staff is tasked with "keeping the numbers down." Last semester I saw a cottontail sitting hunched up in the shade of a pillar in mid-day (not normal behavior), and I knew something was wrong with him. Sadly, I was right, and when I came out from class he was dead. I suspect there were few (students) that saw him, and even less still that wondered what he was doing there, sitting beside a busy walkway. But I saw him, and I recognized his' pain, and it tore at my heart to be powerless to help him. If it had been a kitten, or perhaps a Labrador puppy, or a red-tailed hawk, or a coyote . .. how many more would have noticed? The "management" of native wildlife goes far beyond the borders of our campus community. Our attitudes toward those animals and things that we don't under- stand or appreciate causes misunderstanding, pain, and suffering. Look around you, what's going on? Are there teens setting cats on fire for fun, maybe next week they'll be taking rifles into classes. The animals in the lab, what are they really going through? My question is, "Where have all the whiskers gone?" What's yours? BY JASON ROBBINS Special to The Pride I'd like to forgive the Women's Studies Department for not addressing the concerns that I raised in my first column. They must have been out shelling human decency in the War on Embryos. Too harsh you say? Hey, I love freedom too. On the subject of freedom, the Justice Department recently subpoenaed the internet search engine company Google, Inc. to relinquish data about the search queries its users made over a two month period of 2005. The subpoena is related to the Department's attempt to appeal the Supreme Court's injunction on the Child Online Protection Act (COPA). Said act penalizes website opera- tors who allow minors to view pornography. Google's response: Take a hike. My response: Bravo. Let's accept the Supreme Court's ruling that "COPA was not the least restrictive means available for the Government to serve the interest of preventing minors from using the Internet to gain access to harmful materials." I'm sure ya'll understand that the government cannot deny a fundamental right unless it proves that (a.) the policy/ law is related to some compelling state interest and that (b.) there aren't less restrictive means. While the Supreme Court might have beenrightin ruling that COPA fails the aforesaid test, I struggle with a notion that the Court, the federal government, and probably even Google, all accept: the notion that preventing minors from using the internet for pornography is a compelling state interest (which would justify restricting freedom of speech/expression on the net). I understand that the federal government has a right to regulate commerce and a legitimate concern for decency and innocence, but it seems that preventing minors from watching dirty love on a computer is more of a compelling parental interest. Wouldn't most people agree that proper parenting is the best solution to the internet porn bug? If that is the case, should compelling interests be deemed compelling when the efficacy of government action is second-rate? I applaud Google for its refusal to cooperate, for I believe that the benefits of protecting privacy are more significant than the costs of slowing the government's intrusive attempt to accomplish something that parents are more responsible and prepared for themselves. Chew on that idea. I could be wrong. In an effort to further explore the status of freedom in America, here's my take on the NSA's warrantless wiretapping program. The Top 3 List: Things I would say/do if I knew the NSA was wiretapping my phone line. #3 "Hey Mr. NSA man, I know that you're listening.

A review of Brokeback Mountain is more or less completely irrelevant in any assistance for formulating your opinion. When it comes to controversial movies like this, most everyone knows whether or not they will enjoy the movie before they even see it, if they ever in fact do. But, this movie has already won 4 Golden Globe awards, including best dramatic motion picture, so maybe it's worth giving it a fair chance. So let's cut to the chase already. Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger) and Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal) are two cowboys in the sixties herding sheep across the dramatic expanses of the Wyoming landscape. After finishing the summer's job, Jack and Ennis return to their normal lives. The two men get married, have children and move to opposite ends of the country. For the next twenty years, the two keep in touch and manage to see each other a few times a year, catching up on their separate lives. Roll credits. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, the two menfindtheir soulmates in each other and fall passionr ately in love. Although living straight men's lives when not on Brokeback Mountain, the two seal their love for one another from all those around them. That one summer's job back in the sixties unveiled an undeniable connection between the two, forever changing the two men. The story weaves in and out of the struggles with keeping a secret passion for an outlawed love from the world, all while living an "acceptable" life back home. The infamous tent love scene was acted out in the first fifteen minutes of the movie and left a rigid stiffness with most Photo courtesy of Focus Features of the shocked audience. However, as the story progresses and the two cowboys find themselves more comfortable with one another, the love story evolves and becomes far more realistic and understandable. Naturally, as a critic, it is easy for me to pick apart lovers on screen relationships or the lack thereof, however as the awards indicate, Ledger and Gyllenhaal capture the emotion undeniably. The entire movie pitted the stark contrast of the expected stoic, heterosexual cowboy with the soft, emotional, gay one. The differences between the majestic beauty of Brokeback Mountain and the relative yawn of a town both men would eventually return to also polarized the two lifestyles; even the drastic difference from the love the men shared with each other and the relative duty they served to their wives. Every single aspect of the movie was in opposition to something else, and the two main characters find themselves constantly in the middle of their competing worlds; not allowed to love each other but unable to turn their backs from it. Best Dramatic Picture, Best Actor, Best Motion Picture, and Best Screenplay, the awards speak for themselves. Guys and girls, men and women, straight couples and gay couples should find this movie at the least moving, and at the most, as one of the best movies of the year. I give Brokeback Mountain 4 paws out of 5. It's a wonderfully acted movie, both visually and emotionally stunning to anyone who sees it. H o w T o ...Destroy your denim BY AMANDA KEELEY Pride Staff Writer Photo By Amanda Keeley / The Pride Destroyed denim is definitely a hot look, but to achieve the distressed appearance, you either have to wear your jeans out and let them naturally wear or you have to buy them that way. But to actually wait for your denim to wear and tear takes way too long and most clothing stores don't even carry destroyed denim. So, even if you find the right store and your size, it can dent your wallet up to 80 or 100 dollars. Well, good news. There's an easy and quick way to get this great damaged look with the jeans you already have at home. First step: pre-wash your jeans in a washing machine along with fabric softener, old tennis shoes and a towel. This helps to soften the denim so it is easier to destroy. Second step: mix one part bleach with two parts water. This solution will be used to make the worn, faded look. Third step: put jeans on and sit down and use the bleach solution to dab on the scrunched up areas of the jeans and other places jeans would fad naturally, for example, the back pockets and knee area. Forth step: take sand paper and rub on knee area and hemlines. Sand for about 20 minutes, depending on how faded you want your jeans to look. Fifth step: take a utility knife and cut two straight horizontal cuts about two to four inches apart. Now slide your hand behind the denim you just cut. Sandpaper the strip of denim you created until you start to see tiny holes and white cords. Separate the white cords with your fingernails, but be careful you don't want to rip the cords. For an extra destroyed look, take a cheese grater and rub around the main holes you created for a unique look. Sixth step: if you want your jeans to look extra old and aged, soak the jeans in coffee over night. Lastly, put the jeans in the dryer on high. Feel free to add any special touches like paint splatter or grease smudges. Remember, it's up to you: be creative. BEER. OF THE WEEK: ImyerM BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Staff Writer While Samuel Adams is far from an unknown beer, anyone familiar with the seasonal brews put forth by Sam Adams knows that they produce many lesserknown yet exceptional beers. The limited edition Imperial Pilsner is one lesser-known beer by Samuel Adams that you might want to get your hands on while supplies last. Brewed as a special Fall 2005, limitedly produced beer, the Pil- pilsner sner was brewed with large quantities of Hallertau hops from Bavaria in Germany. Featuring a dark golden-brown color and cloudy complexion, the Imperial Pilsner is a unique tasting treat that may not agree with all palates due to its strongflavor.Yet, those who do not mind the bitterness and citrus produced by the extremely large quantity of hops obviously used in this brew, will appreciate the richness of flavor and smooth, almost creamy, texture of this beer. Bottled in pint and 8 oz bottles, instead of the usual 12 oz bottles used with most beers, a large bottle of Imperial Pilsner with a light meal or dessert is a great end to a night. Plus the large quantities of hops present in the Pilsner will ensure a goodnight's sleep for those lucky enough to find a bottle. While a limited edition beer, released for last fall only, some stores still have a few bottles left on the shelves for those who might have missed the Imperial Pilsner last year. A strong-flavored and unique beer, the Imperial Pilsner is worth the search and a taste before it disappears for good.

This past weekend, volunteer searches continued at the search and rescue headquarters located in an abandoned Escondido warehouse donated to the Dubois by a concerned citizen. "We had a 7,500 square foot building donated to us. We're doing all of our work out of here," Amber's father, Maurine Dubois said in an NBC San Diego report on Saturday. "We have a separate mapping room where things are coordinated. It's much easier than trying to work out of a small trailer in a parking lot." The command center is located at 755 N. Quince Street in Escondido, CA and remains open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. everyday until Amber's return. Hundreds of volunteers assisted over the weekend in the second large-scale search effort conducted since Amber's disappearance. The fourteen-year-old Escondido High School student was walking to school on Friday, February 13,2009 on North Broadway in Escondido. Two family friends reported seeing Amber a mere 300 yards from the school's gate at 7:10 a.m. Amber was carrying a handful of Valentine's Day gifts to give to her friends. Hours lajter, school officials called Amber's family to report that she had not shown up for her classes. "I will have continuous, 100percent hope until you completely prove it to me, there's a reason not to," Maurice Dubois said during a press conference. "I will never give up hope. Amber, if you're out there, you can guarantee I will never stop until we have found you and you're back home with us." On Feb. 28, Amber's story appeared on the popular American crime stoppers show, "America's MostWanted." The Escondido Police Department reported that exposure on the show helped generate tips.

Image by bringamberhome.com as well. Marc Klass, the program founder, is the father of Polly Klass, who was kidnapped from her home during a slumber party and murdered in 1993. "The family has to keep the hope alive. They have to be the ones that are going to inspire others to go out and look for their child. If the family gives up, everybody gives up," Klass said, NBC reported. The Dubois family recently increased their reward offering to $60,000, with $50,000 for information leading to their daughter's safe return and $10,000 for information leading to the arrest of the person or persons responsible for her disappearance. Anonymous individuals and businesses donated the reward money to the family. "[The family] wants to get Amber home alive, therefore the majority of money has been allocated to that end," Klass told reporters at a news conference outside Escondido High School on March 4, according to the SanDiegoUnionTribune. "Butthey also understand that there might be darker scenarios and that that might not be possible." Both Klass and Brenda van Dam, whose daughter Danielle van Dam was kidnapped and murdered seven years ago, are said to be helping the Dubois family with search efforts. "I know this community has come together once before to help our family find closure," said Brenda van Dam, reported by the North County Times. "I'm asking that you please do it again for this family." Though police say there is no evidence to suggest Amber was kidnapped, her parents and family attest that Amber was not the type to go anywhere without contacting them, telling the North County Times that for her to run away would be "completely out of character." In fact, Amber was looking forward to bringing home a lamb she planned to raise as part of her school's Future Famer's Association project on the day she disappeared. "She would not have given up that lamb for anything," Amber's mother, Carrie McGonigle said, according to CNN. "She's a wholesome kid. She doesn't run amok like most teenagers. She did not run away, I guarantee it." In addition to police efforts, the family hired private investigator, Bill Garcia. According to Garcia and Escondido police, Amber's phone was last on for a few seconds on Feb. 14,2009 when someone turned the phone on in an attempt to access the voicemail and then shut off the phone. The phone was not on long enough for police to determine its location. Amber sent her grandmother several text messages and one to a friend before she left for school the morning of her disappearance. Police and search efforts so far yielded little leads. On Feb. 20, Amber's family held a candlelight vigil in front of Escondido High. The North County Times reported approximately 200 people attended the vigil wearing t-shirts with Amber's name and picture on them. At the vigil, Taylor Doyle, a lifelong Mend of Amber's, told the North County Times, "Amber's not the type to not go to school." Another friend of Amber's in attendance at the vigil was Hailey Kosinski. Kosinski described her friend to CNN as someone who is "sort of shy when youfirstmeet her, but once you get to now her, she's the kindest person you'll ever meet." "It's the most horrible, gutwrenching feeling to know your friend is out there and there's nothing you can do tf help her," Kosinski said. "You feel so powerless." The family has put together a website, wwwlbringamberhome. com, that features up-to-date information related to the case, hotline/ contact information, and downloadable search flyers. On the website, the family also thanks those involved in the rescue effort. "We cannot express enough our heartfelt gratitude to every individual, church, religious organizations, and searchers holding a good thought and keeping Amber and her safe return to her family in their prayers." "Thank you for helping to break through the darkness by being one of the lights that will bring our Amber home." "We cannot bear the thought of life without her." �Tuesday, March Viewpoint 10, 2009 THE^PRIDE SEX 101f( Food in the sack EDITORIAL STAFF BDITOR IN CHIEF BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer JACKIE CARBAJAL FACES AND PLACES Now, when I say "sack," I'm not talking about that of the paper persuasion.

If you see me on c ampus, ask me, it's quite the tale. So let's just say that you do decide to go through with a schmorgasbord of food and sex, at least make it romantic as opposed to a pig out session. Just remember to keep in mind that the food does not come first and it shouldn't be the main driving factor to involve food in your sexual experiences. Although it does sound amazing to eat bacon and donuts off your lover (yes, you know I'm talking to you, you manly Soviet man), make sure that that's not the only reason as to why you're doing that. Because chances are, if that's all you want out of this experience, you're probably going to get punched in the face and I'm sure that situation can be easily recreated with a big packet of bacon, box of donuts, and a lonely night with a porn tape (or DVD.. .maybe Blu-Ray, depending on how realistic you wish it were). Remember that sex is still a bond between you and your partner, not a bond between you and a 12oz sirloin. If you do involve food in some way, make it special and use food that is sensual. Use fruit or anything sweet, like chocolate, please remember how your body reacts to certain substances/foods. Keep in mind that couples should be careful to not introduce any sugary foods into the vagina because this could potentially cause yeast infections, for example. If you do decide to pull off a daring sexual experience, remember that your partner comes first (pun intended, again). So whether it be eating cereal out of the dimples of your partner's ass or playing with some Fruit Roll Up, remember that it's for passion. Bon(er) appétit (sorry, immature, I know)! THE PRIDE The pursuit of a good pair of headphones BY BILLRHEIN Senior Staff Writer Anyone who has seen me walking around campus will recognize the fact that I constantly have some type of headphones attached to my ears. I cannot j ustify this behavior other than to point out that I truly enjoy the music or podcasts on my iPod. What I can say is that I have gone through many pairs of headphones and know a thing or two about finding a good pair. I have no bias between ear buds or headphones for I had many good sets of both. One could buy a high-end headset and certainly be satisfied. But I do not know many college students who have room for Bose headphones in their budget. The pairs I recommend offer great sound quality and comfort and will not break the bank. First of all, if you are listening to your iPod, the buds it came with are decent. They are comfortable and offer good quality. The problem is they are more fragile than most ear buds. I have broken several headphones and many of them were iPod buds. Thus I will point out several that are also durable. But the iPod buds are a good starting point As an aside, I would quickly point out that if you have an mp3 player, I would be in shock if it were not an iPod. Though iPods are a bit more expensive, you get your money's worth due to the fact they are easy to use, have the best software, iTunes, and are backed by Apple's service. A step up from the iPod buds are the cheap Sony ones that can be found everywhere from Long's to Best Buy. I cannot find what they are called, but they are under $10 and are the blue or red buds that clip on to the ear. They may look cheap, I was even h esit ant a bout buying them, but they are very comfortable and offer great sound. The only time I broke a pair was when I stepped on them. At $10, they are not a major investment and will last. If you prefer headphones, look no further than the Phillips SHS390. These behind-the-head headphones offer comfort and quality. They run between $10 and $15 at most stores and come in either black or white. These will last long time as long as you do not sit on them or yank on the cord. When it comes to headphones, I like these ones, which only have one cord coming up to the ear, rather than the type that branch into two. Lastly, if you want DJ, overthe-ear type, get the Jensen JHF-310 DJ Headphones, if you can find them. They are the best headphones I have ever had, but the makers discontinued t hem/ They can be found for about $20 to $35 online from time to time. They fold up and have great quality and are super durable. If those cannot be found, try Sony MDR-V150 DJ Headphones, which have the same sound quality, but lack the features of the Jensen pair and have a really long cord. To find a good pair of headphones, be sure they are solid and protected near the ends of the cord to avoid breakage. Try some that look c omfortable, but be sure to keep the receipt and do not be afraid to return them. 1 Classifieds te^mm I Classifieds Laptop Broken?

N ORTH COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT GoNCTD.com 9 5 11 �Tuesday, March Faces & Places 70, 2009 C ar accidents BY SANDRA CHALMERS Senior Staff Writer No one ever wants to get into an accident, so what should you do if you find yourself in one? Here are some helpful tips for being prepared in an accident. Staying prepared: It is California law for drivers to always carry Proof of Insurance or Proof of Financial Responsibility, for most that means having your insurance card on hand. Make sure to have your insurance agent's contact information as well as a copy of your insurance policy. In car accidents it is important to understand what your auto insurance policy covers, so you'll know exactly how you are protected. Are you covered if an uninsured driver hits you? What are your insurance limits? These are questions you want to know the answers to before an accident occurs. Another way to stay prepared is to have a car safety kit stored in your car. This safety kit most likely comes with cones for directing traffic, a flashlight, and pen and paper for making notes and exchanging information. It is also wise to have a camera on hand to photograph any damage, street signs, and license plates of any other cars involved. Keeping emergency telephone numbers, as well as a note of any medical allergies you may have in the case of medical assistance is another important precaution. When an accident occurs: If you are in an accident you are required by law to stop, whether the accident involved a pedestrian, a parked car, or even property. According to the 2007 State Bar of California, if you do not stop, you can be charged with a hit-and-run even if the accident was not your fault. "The number one thing to do is to check for any injuries, with yourself, the other driver, and as well as the car," says CSUSM's Chief of Police, Ronald Hackenberg. "The first call that needs to be made is to 911." If there are any suspected injuries for T HE PRIDE How to d eal either party, notify medical authorities right away. "You have to be very aware and alert of other vehicles coming from behind you, especially on the highway," says Hackenberg. If the accident does occur on the highway, Hackenberg suggests moving your car to a safer location if possible or stand behind a guardrail for protection until help arrives. Put out cones to help other drivers be more aware that an accident has occurred. Exchange information with the other party such as names, phone numbers, and insurance company information. Take note of the license plate number, make, model and year of the other driver's car, and his/her driver's license number. Record the time, date and location of the accident, note street signs, the weather and exactly how the accident occurred, and try, if possible, to get witnesses' names and phone numbers as they may come in handy in trying to piece how the accident occurred. When police arrive, note the officer's badge number and do not admit fault anything you say could be recorded and later be used against you, so before taking the blame consult with your insurer or a lawyer. If an accident concerns a parked car or property damage, you must make an effort to locate the owner. If you cannot the law states that you can drive away only after leaving behind your name, number, address, and an explanation of the incident. After an accident: Request a copy of the police report of the accident for your records. When it is determined who was responsible for the cause of the accident, compensations may be made for personal injuries, car damages and even lost wages, all depending on the type of coverage both parties' insurance policies have. Keep in constant communication with your insurer and speak with a lawyer for any legal advice concerning the accident or making an insurance claim. Exclusive interview with ASI President BY DIANA VALDI VIA Pride Staff Writer Recently The Pride had the opportunity to interview our current Associated Student Inc. President, Alexander Hoang. Diana Valdivia: Tell us about yourself. Alex Hoang: My name is Alexander Hoang and I am your ASI President & CEO. I'm studying Business Administration /Management. I am an i nterna- ^ ^ ^ tional traveler that seeks to bring people together ^ ^ K r through my profesH H P sional & personal experience. Oh and I love my mommy's cooking. Valdivia: Almost a year ago you were elected as ASI President. What made you want to run for this position? Hoang: From the moment I set foot on CSUSM, I fell in love with it. I knew this intimate learning environment would transform my life, and I wanted to make a positive impact on At as well. Many students expressed their personal confidence in my leadership and shared with me how I helped their lives through my roles as a resident advisor, an orientation team member, and active member of various clubs. As a natural advocate, I decided to step up to the next level for all students. Valdivia: What do you think is the biggest issue facing CSUSM students at this time? Hoang: The biggest issue facing students is affordability and access here ^ at CSUSM. The economic crisis is taking its toll on students and the ______ budget cuts Photo by Diana Valdivia have limited enrollment. Parking permit prices and textbooks are extremely high, availability of parking is troubling, and the offering of fewer class sections are delaying graduation rates. Valdivia: As ASI President, what are you doing to help students with this issue? Hoang: I asked President Haynes for help regarding parking permit prices when I f irst stepped into o ffice and with the help of ASI advocacy, she cut the proposed increase by $35 dollars for the next academic year. I also advocate on a statewide level for our students and have led a textb.ook affordability resolution that recently passed and is in the works at our home campus. I've also spearheaded the coded memorandum on shared governance for our CSU. This ensures the accountability of having a student on an administrative committee / initiative to voice the student perspective. Valdivia: What is your stand on the idea and planning for the new University Student Union? Hoang: The USU is an awesome legacy in the process. It will clearly benefit the whole community at CSUSM. Faculty and staff in our administration should be included in the fee implementation, not just students, since it will enhance our community as a whole. Valdivia: What has been the best part of being ASI President? Hoang: The best part is standing by the side of my fellow students each day. To give my best, everything that I am to engaging, empowering, and serving students is a true honor and privilege, Valdivia: What has been the biggest challenge as ASI President? Hoang: The biggest challenge is the learning curve. I have stepped up to this challenge by professionally developing the board and creating an ASI 101 living transition manual so that any f uture student chosen by their constituents to lead will be quickly supported in order to deliver results for the students of CSUSM. Valdivia: Any additional thoughts you would like to share with students? Hoang: ASI is here for you if you seek anything on your home campus to be improved, enhanced, or changed, check out our website www.csusm.edu/ asi, give us a ring at 760-750-4990.

BY BLAINE H. MOGIL Pride Staff Writer BY JAMES SEBRING Pride Staff Writer Although the small scale nuclear reactor found in a Delorean may sound like a nice alternative for fossil fuels, until we get a fully functional Flux Capacitor this just won't be a viable option. Don't despair as plenty of realistic options are in the works with many already on the road Fossil Fuel freedom includes options such as Fuel Cell Technology, Ethanol, Electric Hybrids and even Algae. Could Algae become a viable fuel source for cars? While Algae may not propel your car with the power of 1.21 jiggawatts, if it can power a 747 it's probably got the potential to get your Scion moving too. In order for algae to be used as fuel in vehicles, it must be processed in a manner similar to converting oil into gasoline. According to Dave Demeqian writing for wired.com, "PetroSun Biofuels has opened a commercial algae-to-biofuels farm on the Texas Gulf Coast..." and continues "Of all the options for future jet biofuel production, algae is considered one of the most viable." In this same article the viability of using biofuels is given credence as in early 2008 "Virgin Atlantic flew a 747 partially powered by coconut andbabassu oil." The CEO ofVirgin Atlantic has become deeply concerned about the environment and is taking a leadership role in promoting alternative fuels. — In an article by Mike Magda on autobloggreen.com "Branson says B5 •¡hHËlT"""^ M Photo by saabclub.com theuse ofbiofuels shouldbe expanded to many industries. Branson's Virgin transportation companies, including Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Trains, are going to reinvest profits into renewable energy, and Virgin Fuels is expected to be a beneficiary. The company was already into bioethanol production and researching other alternative fuels." Perhaps Branson may be looking at the profit potential of alternative fuels even as he claims a concern for the environment One may question Branson's real motivation, but it would be very hard to say that he is all talk. He is taking a very strong leadership role in creating a more environmentally friendly option to fossil fuels. While algae may become an excellent substituteforfossil fuels in the future, other options are already on the road, and more are coming soon from major auto manufacturers. There are already Hybrid Elec- tries, Flex Fuel vehicles, Natural Gas Vehicles, and Biodiesel cars commercially available to purchase. And without regard to the form of transportation, these alternatives to fossil fuels can be adapted to work in planes, trains and automobiles. And don't forget about the possibility of pure electric cars. GM hasn't forgotten about pure electrics in spite of having pulled the plug on the EV1, thefirstcommercially available modern electric car. According to the Chevy web site the 'The Extended-Range Electric Vehicle that is redefining the automotive world is no longer just a rumor. In feet, its propulsion system is so revolutionary, it's unlike any other vehicle or electric car that's ever been introduced" The Volt is scheduled to hit the road in late 2010, and if successful could lead the charge of a whole brigade of environmentally friendly cars. health, but this is also the recipe for a healthy night's sleep.

Tuesday March 10, 2009 BY PRISCILLA GEORGE Pride Staff Writer Despite budget cuts and cancelled classes, Dr. Karno Ng teaches a chemistry laboratory course never before offered by CSUSM. Background Info; Previously, both chemistry majors as well as pre-med students would take the CHEM 250 course and pair it with CHEM 275, a threecredit course including a class and lab. Students who did not fall into this category would generally take no accompanying lab with the CHEM 250 course. This method worked well for quite some time. However, it was actually a hindrance for non-chemistry majors. This is because non-chemistry majors such as pre-med students were not required to take CHEM 275 but just needed an accompanying lab for professional degree purposes. Therefore, instead of taking a 1-credit lab, no alternative was given, forcing them to take on a course they really did not need. For chemistry majors, however, taking the required CHEM 275 in conjecture with CHEM 25Ò allowed them to save time. Lab's Purpose: As a remedy to this dilemma, a new CHEM 250 lab was developed this year. The lab "was primarily designed as a means for students who are not chemistry majors to get a second semester of 'general chemistry lab' for the purpose of applying to medical school or other graduate or profes- sional programs for which two semesters of general chemistry lab are prerequisites," said Dr. Michael Schmidt, the current Chem 250 course instructor. None of this makes any difference to students who are neither chemistry majors or pre-med students, since they can still take the CHEM 250 lecture without the lab, just as before. I nstructor Highlight: Dr. Karno Ng currently teaches the new CHEM 250 lab. Dr. Ng has a Bachelor's of Science in Chemistry and had the honor of being Summa Cum Laude (3.8 GPA average), has a PhD in Analytical Chemistry and an MBA. She was also the 2007/2008 recipient for the President's Award for Excellence in Teaching and Learning from CSUSM. Because of her expertise in Analytical Chemistry and her substantial qualifications, she was given thé prestigious honor of creating the CHEM 250 lab from scratch. Dr. Ng says it is a lot of hard work but this opportunity is a privilege. She employs a variety of educational tools such as worksheets, pre-lab quizzes, the Vermier Software Program for certain experiments, inclass quizzes, lectures expounding upon the next week's lab and mini-lectures the day of the lab to reiterate important points and reminders. "The new CHEM 250 lab will usually be offered every spring while the CHEM 250 lecture will most likely be offered in both fall and spring semesters," Ng says. Lab Response: Students have both T HE PRIDE favorable and u nfavorable responses to the new CHEM 250 lab. "For students looking formed school or pre-professional studies, it's good because it gives you one f ull year so it saves time and it works out with my schedule too so it's convenient," said CSUSM student Ari^ anne Schultz. Comparing it to Organic Chemistry 202, senior Alicia Hart says CHEM 250 is a "baby lab" and that coming back for the lab was actually beneficial because it helped her refresh the material. Both Hart and sophomore Brittney Banfer agree their previous labs ran more smoothly than the Chem 250 lab. Since this is a new lab, many unforeseen problems arise causing confusion. Understandably, Photo by Priscilla George many kinks still need to be worked out. Junior Jennifer Oberschmid thinks "it's kind of cool to be part of an 'experiment'." When asked about the lab size and atmosphere, Banfer replied "the class is small so you're able to get help if you need it and not wait forever to ask questions and the atmosphere is f un and light."

Now, since films like "Saw" and "Hostel," horrorfilmshave become all about blood and mutilation. Real thrills in horror films come from fear leading to the violence, not the actual deaths. This film has potential if it can maintain a high level of anxiety in viewers. Also out this week are several films going into limited release. Though there are several, I would like to give a nod to "Edge of Love" and "Three Monkeys"which appear to be a pair of really artistic films. Lastly, I would like to mention "Sun- shine Cleaning," which I expect to be very entertaining and enter wide release in a few weeks. It is another drama comedy hybrid in the vein of "Little Miss Sunshine" about a pair of sisters who start a crime scene clean-up company. It evolves into a heartwarming story when they console those affected by the tragedies they are cleaning. Keep an eye out for this one if you cannot make it to a theater s creening l imited releases.

Come to our weekly meeting Tuesdays at 5pm in Craven 3500 (by the elevator) or email csusmpride@gmaii.com California State University San Marcos University Student Union Student Forums As Cal State San Marcos continues to grow and approach its 20th anniversary, we are exploring options for constructing a facility for campus life, programming, social interactions, and leadership development that will impact the entire campus community. The proposed University Student Union (USU) project will enhance the quality of campus life by providing a mix of informal gathering spaces, retail and food services, and venues for events. However, an increase to the existing Student Union fee would be necessary to support construction and ongoing operational costs associated with the facility. CSUSM will be utilizing an alternative consultation process which provides opportunities for student, faculty, and staff input regarding the proposed USU building and student fee increase through forums and a website (http://www.csusm.edu/usuA designed to be both educational and a means to obtain feedback. This feedback will then be compiled into a report and presented to the Student Fee Advisory Committee and President Haynes. Your participation is crucial to the process since the proposed University Student Union will have broad implications affecting many aspects of campus life. By attending one of the forums, you will have an opportunity to learn more about the proposed building, view artist renderings, ask questions and provide us with your thoughts and ideas.

If maybe she had called herself or enlisted a five year old, maybe, then maybe, we wouldn't be where we are right now. "This whole trip was your dumb idea, remember? Don't blame me." Paige says to me before she crosses her arms and drops down on a stump in the dirt. I glare at Cole, while Amy and Kimberly play Go Fish in the truck bed. "How in the world is this my fault?" "Well, it's not mine and now Bryan and Tim are missing." Back over winter break, I suggested that we all get together like the old days for a road trip. Paige thought it might be nice to rent a cabin by the lake over the spring break. Everyone agreed. For months, I looked forward to it. I didn't mind mid terms and I sure as hell didn't worry about all the money I would essentially be wasting that could be put to better use like for bills and food. Four minutes into the trip, I knew it was a bad idea. "What do you mean, we have to sleep in tents?" Amy and Kimberly said in near unison. "I mean, Cole forgot to make reservations for the cabin so we have to sleep in tents." I clarified. "Oh really?" Amy said, then leaned over and gave Cole a Wet Willie. Kimberly glared at her. By day three, everyone was ready to cut the trip short and Bryan broke the news that he had to be back at work the next afternoon. The other tents were packed by the time I woke up. Paige shook me out of sleep sometime during the night. Her hair was in a braid and she was in the same overalls and white taiik top she had been in since we left Bryan's house to come up here. She kissed me on the cheek and told me to rise and shine. Truth be told, I was pretty sick of the dirt in myfingernailsand ants in my food. Tim was going into withdrawals not having any phone service and he's pretty lousy when he doesn't have phone service. Amy and Kimberly were about to kill each other and Cole was too full of himself to try to mediate it. "This isn't high school anymore, Evan." Paige told me this afternoon before letting me know they all decided to give it up and head back home later tonight. The campground was pretty vacant. I remember the park ranger telling us there were two other groups checked in for the week. He handed us a map that Bryan used for blow his nose and that's the last I remember seeing it. The ranger also told us something about what to do in case of emergencies but it went in one ear and out the other like when flight attendants tell you about those inflatable life preservers on airplanes. I stumbled out our tent and combed my greasy hair back. I was helping Cole load the boat on the trailer while Paige, Tim, and Amy were playing on the dock. Tim was trying to push the girls into the lake while they screamed and protested. Tim lost his balance on the foot of the dock and grabbed Paige's arm for support. Both of them crash landed into the chilly water. I heard Paige's screeches while Amy laughed. Then I heard her cursing and I knew something was up. "The keys! They're gone!" Paige kept saying over and over before adding, "I hope you brought scuba gear because we aren't leaving without those keys." "Don't be so dramatic," Amy Word(s) \ said. "We'll just call someone to come get us;" "How? With smoke signals?" Four hours passed, which lead me here with Bryan and Tim missing and Paige treating me like we never broke up, attitude and all. Cole leans over to me as I stare out ahead, trying to think. "This is bad, man. What are we gonna do?" I try to keep myself calm because I know everyone else is freaking out because it's dark outside. I know the practical thing to do would be to sleep and then worry about finding a phone in the morning but no one wants to do that. "Why don't you stay here with the girls and Paige and I'll go find the guys and get to a phone."

The prices on these rolls range from $6-$10, depending on what the ingredients are and how much is used. For those who do not see the appeal of sushi, Sushi 101 also offers Bento, or to-go, dishes. Although salmon is offered, a person also has their choice of Kalbi (grilled beef), Bulgogi (barbecue), Tonkatsu (fried pork) and chicken, which can be served fried or grilled. These options are great for those who do not have much time to eat before classes, as they take less time to prepare and eat than sushi. Also, they Photo by Matt Lewis are meat options that are filling but do not cause drowsiness like fried food options. One misconception that people have is that food from school cannot taste good, or at least cannot compete with the quality of an outside restaurant. This is an unfortunate misconception that students carry over from elementary school, when abominations like "haystacks" and square pizza were the best options. However, nothing could be further from the truth in this case. Want proof? If people really think outside food is better, they will be happy to hear that the chefs at Sushi 101 are from the San Marcos branch of Sushiya, a popular sushi bar chain. In fact, much of the menu that regular Sushiya customers love remains intact for this tiny but delicious sushi spot in the Big Cat Food Court. So why not try something new for lunch that does not require microwaves or fryalators? Sometimes new experiences can lead to life-long love affairs, even in the case of raw fish. Jones Soda Blue Bubble Gum Every kid's d ream, liquid b ubble gum BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Senior Staff Writer Jones Soda manages the production of their product in Seattle, Washington. Peter van Stoll| founded what would eventually become Jones Soda in 1987. The company gained momentum in 1994 when the Jones brand name became widely available due to the support from a large distributor. Jones Soda became the official name for the company in 2000. The company began with only sixflavors.Currently, the company has 20flavorsamongst a slew of different beverages including energy drinks. Jones Soda can be purchased individually, in 4 packs, and even in 24 packs. A singe bottle of Jones Soda retails for about a dollar and a half. Finding the beverage might be trickier than finding more popular brands of soda such as Coke or Pepsi. However, BevMo stores offer a great selection. A unique characteristic about Jones Soda the random photos on ea bottle. The pictures ran from a close up of a bee a crashing ocean, and pretty much anything and every- thing in between. The beverage company selects pictures submitted by customers. Making the distinctive characteristic even more amazing is the fact that customers can special order a 12 pack of Jones Soda with their own photo and quote for $30. A slight mist escapes from the chilled bottle after opening the sealed cap. Under the cap reads, "Be an angel. Save a life." The vibrant color blasts beautiful blue rays into every direction. The fluid releases a scent very similar to a package of Bubblicious Blue Bubble Gum. The kid inside jumps for joy as the blueberry flavored soda gently massages all areas of the mouth before passing on. The tongue cannot help but rub the lips as the taste buds excitedly beg for more Jones Soda. "It smells so sweat! It's almost like a cream soda. It kind of takes you back to your childhood a little bit. I don't know exactly how, but it does," said Senior Business major Bryan Spangenberg. Make sure to chill Jones Soda to maximize pleasure. Ice might water down the wonderful tasting drink. Cheers mates! � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We often have to suspend other important aspects of our lives, such as employment, relationships, and leisure activities. When students cope with the difficulties and share in the excitement together, the educational pursuit can become much easier. Support is available on the campus of CSUSM. Support groups bring together people who share common concerns and help each person to cope more effectively. In a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere, students assist each other with personal and educational challenges. Through shared understanding and the exchange of ideas with peers, students in support groups : • experience a sense of control over their lives • reduce the feeling of isolation. • obtain a better perspective on their problems • have the opportunity to discuss emotions • share and reinforce positive coping skills. To join a CSUSM support group, simply be there. With no fee or obligation to attend every week, just come when you feel the need. Support groups meet in Room 5205, Craven Hall in the Student Resource P age 13 P age12 P age 14 University Employee/Students Pay Lower Fees True or false...? University employees who are also students at CSUSM (UES) pay full fees including tuition and other expenses. What? You guessed incorrectly? That's right! UESs do not pay nary the amount of fees that full or even part-time students pay. How much do the UES pay, you might ask? Well, the grand total is $3 per semester up to six units. Yes sir, three bucks. One dollar is allotted for Student Unibtf fees, one dollar is earmarked for Health Facilities, and the last dollar is allocated for Student Body Associated fees. But wait...aren't the UESs entitled toafewperks? Ofcourse, sure, but should they be completely exempt from paying fiill fees, especially student fees, since after all, they are students? The ironic part is that it is entirely possible for the UESs to rlin for an elected position on the Associated Students council. This means that the UES who pays nominal fees, at most, is given the responsibility of representing full-fee-paying students. I 'm not suggesting that the UESs are not entitled to repre- sentation on the A.S. council; a student is a student is a student, no matter how great or small the monetary contribution to a c&sh-strapped system. But a conflict arises when those who do not contribute monetarily are able to participate fully in the programs sponsered by the rest of the fundingpopulace, simply because they are students. Perhaps the university, during this time of financial dire straits, would reconsider its position of favoritism towards its employees and commit the UESs to paying their fair share of fees.

Widely regarded as "the father of cable television," Daniels is chairman of Daniels Communitcations Inc., a diversified group of companies including Daniels & Associates. "Bill Daniels was selected as this y ear's honoree because of his vision, leadership, high ethical standards, and community service, all of which are legendary. H e is widely respected not only f or his remarkable accomplishments in the business world but also f or his philanthropic activities. Supportive of higher education, Daniels funded C SUSM's first endowed chair. Daniels represents the ultimate aim of our university; he is an outstanding citizen of his country and community, and, in addition, he is a role model of business acumen, fairness, and success," said President Bill Stacy. Over the years, Daniels has received countless awards for his civic leadership. He is known both as an entrepreneur and a humanitarian. He served as the earliest leader of the fledgling cable trade association, founded the first cable brokerage company and launched the first cable investment banking business. He owned and operated hundreds of cable television systems, created dozens of innovative sports programming companies, and along the way, has devoted a sizable share of • > -V/ ' • t 1 time to the creation of new civic enterprises, helping those less fortunate, and cultivating a new generation of industry leaders. Daniels is an active participant in federal and state government and remains an outspoken advocate of America's f ree enterprise system. In 1992, Bill was honored with a special Emmy Award f rom the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for his unparalleled record of achievement J n the development of television, and f or his humanitarian work. C SUSM's ball will be held at the Sheraton Grande Torrey Pines in La Jolla on April 9. For information call Jane Lynch at 752-4406. nUnplanned Pregnancy?1 Decisions To Make?

The Political Science Department is in the process of hiring a new faculty member to teach in one of two categories: Political Behavior and American Politics or Public Law and Political Theory. Before a faculty member is accepted, he or she must pass a teaching test. "Here at CSUSM, a faculty member's main responsibility is teaching. We put the candidates in an environment where we can evaluate their teaching," said Dr. Peter Zwick, head of the Political Science Department. Friday, March 4th and Monday, March 7th, two candidates demonstrated their teaching styles in front of CSUSM students. Dr. Helena Silverstein joined six students last Friday to discuss contemporary constitutional law issues in a seminar format. Monday, Dr. Louis DiSipio, presented a lecture on Latino voting patterns to a senior seminar class of twenty. Dr. Zwick said that putting candidates in an actual classroom setting serves two purposes. "First we are inviting student reaction. Second, we are watching and evaluating their performance in that setting." After Silverstein and DiSipio's presentations, Dr. Zwick invited students to give him feedback on the candidates performance and teaching style. "Traditionally, major universities invite top candidates to a seminar," Zwick said. Candidates will then "make a formal presentation of their research containing lots of data" to the decision-making committee. Sometimes graduate students are invited to the seminar. The Political Science Association, a CSUSM student organization, was actively involved in bringing the candidates closer to the students. In lieu of a scheduled Political Science class Friday March 4th, the PSA gathered together students to sit in with Dr. Silverstein. "The PSA was really helpful in getting people to come out and listen," Zwick said. These classroom presentations were the final step in a candidate selection process that began last fall. When the Political Science Department obtained authorization to hire a new faculty member the decision making committee (Dr. Zwick, Dr. Golich and Dr. Thompson) announced the position in a trade publication called "American Political Science Personnel Service Newsletter." They also "put the word out" to other universities. The committee continued their search in Washington D.C. at the American Political Science Association's meeting in September 1993. * The APSA meeting hall was a virtual 'meat-rack* said Dr. Zwick, where candidates and universities looking for faculty met for interviews. Dr. Zwick, Dr. Golich and Dr. Thompson spent time at the meeting "getting the word out and looking for a good candidate." Applications and resumes rolled in last fall. Over winter break the committee evaluated the applications and broke candidates down to a short list of twenty then into a shorter list of eleven. "Since all eleven looked good on paper" it was time to conduct in-depth phone interviews to further evaluate the contenders. Economics Professor Arnold joined the team. The committee spent one-half hour on a speaker phone with each of the eleven finalists to evaluate their "personality, interests and how they came across verbally." These phone sessions "added another dimension to the selection process," said Zwick. Financial constraints prohibited inviting more than two candidates to visit CSUSM for final interviews and classroom performance tests. The Political Science Department has a total selection budget of $2,000 to cover airfare, food and lodging for all of the candidates combined. Dr. Helena Silverstein is currently a professor of Government and Law at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania. She earned her Ph.D. at the University of Washington. Silverstein's academic interest is "Legal Mobilization" (using the legal process as a means of social change). Dr. Louis DiSipio is a p rofessor at Wellesley College in Massachusetts. He earned his Ph.D. at the University of Texas in Austin. His area of expertise is elections and political behavior. Who will make last cuts? Silverstein or DiSipio? Will the selection c ommittee's choice coincide with the students' favorite ? The word is not out yet. The final decision will be made early this week. When the hiring process is complete, The Pride will publish a profile of our new political science faculty member.

Human Papillomavira virus Joel Grinolds, MD, MPH T T f you read this column frequently you I might be wondering why I am writ J L ing about another sexually transmitted disease. In reality, I have no idea how many people actually read this column. Recently, I have written about other current health concerns; however, the subject of this column, Human Papillomavira Virus (HPV) infection, has become a very common and important health problem to the college-age population. This will also be a first, the first of a two part column, because HPV infection is complex and misinformation is common. Human papillomavira (HPV) is the virus that causes warts. There are more than 60 types with approximately a dozen types that can cause warts or subtle signs of infection in the genital tract. Genital HPV is not a reportable disease so we do not have exact numbers on how much of the population is infected. It is estimated that between 500,000 to 1 million new cases of genital HPV occur each year. It clearly is the fastestrisingviral STD. Genital HPV is now thought to be more contagious than previously. It is usually spread through sexual contact with an infected person, although intercourse is not necessary to spread the infection. In studies, two thirds of those with genital warts infected their partners. It is very likely that genital HPV infection also can be transmitted when warts are not present. When viral infections are transmitted from person to person the virus infects the top layers of the skin and can remain inactive or dormant for a long time. We are frequently asked for how long? No one knows for sure but months and may be years can go by before signs of infection or warts appear. For most people, warts will appear within three to six months. Some types of HPV will result in more visible warts than others. Types 6 and 11 will almost always result in visible warts. Other types that may infect the cervix of women may not produce visible warts. Currently, there is no easy test that is reliable, cost effective, and helpful in treatment that identifies the HPV type. HPV cannot be grown in the laboratory and cannot be detected by a blood test. We also know that when warts or other signs of HPV occur, a healthy immune system may clear up the warts by itself over a period of months or years. However, the HPV may still remain, and recurrence of warts is fairly common. When HPV is present in the genital area without visible genital warts one is considered to have "subclinical infection." It is becoming very clear that subclinical infections are much more widespread than anyone would have thought ten years ago. Also, as research tools become more sensitive in detection of HPV we are finding a greater prevalence in patients with subclinical infection. Many researchers believe that medical science is for thefirsttime identifying an infectious agent that likely has been widespread in the population for decades. What does it all mean? I will address that in a column soon. If you are concerned about this health problem, read the next column and/or contact your health care provider or Student Health Services at 752-4915.

Times SKINNY DIP CREAM THE AMAZING DISCO SMOOTH APPEARANCE on any part of the body Distribuship Available Call For Details. 997 W. San Marcos Blvd. Ste. 105 San Marcos 744-7165 If you drive under the influence of alcohol, or any other drug, you risk the chance of spending the night in a cold place. I'm not talking about the smelly county jail. I 'm talking about that cold slab at the county morgue. And the worst thing is next to you could be an innocent pedestrian, driver of the vehicle you hit, or even a child, maybe yours! Get the picture? DUI, DWI, stupidity, whatever you want to call it. If you drink alcoholic beverages you probably have driven under the influence. In San Diego in 1992, 23 people were killed and 542 injured in alcohol-involved crashes. The sad thing is this could have been avoided and the people in those numbers were in the 16 to 20 age group. More than 43 percent of all 16 to 20-year old deaths are caused by vehicle crashes. Nationally, enough people die in these crashes to fill a sports arena. Does a sold out stadium give you a good idea? We're talking serious numbers! Based on the current status of drunk driving in the U.S., two out of five people will be involved in an alcohol-related crash at some time in their lives. AM I DRUNK? Some people think you have to be stumbling or falling down to be considered intoxicated, and unable to drive. Well we all know that's wrong, I hope. According to the California Vehicle Code (CVC) a person cannot drive a vehicle with a .08 percent or more, by weight of alcohol in his or her blood, and sometimes as low as .05 percent. This is only for people 21 years or older. If you are under 21 and caught with a blood content of .01, under the new law (SB 689) as of January 1, 1994 your license will be suspended for one year. There is no safe way to drink and drive. Your skills can be impaired with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of only .02 percent (equivalent of one 12-oz. beer, a 4-oz. glass of wine, or a 1 1/4-oz. shot of 80-proof liquor). BAC tests measure the percent of alcohol in apersons blood based upon grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or grams of alcohol per 210 liters of breath. These tests are performed by taking a blood, breath or urine sample. The test is your choice unless the facility cannot perform a certain test. If you didn't already know you gave written consent for chemical testing for alcohol or drugs on your drivers license application or renewal form. Did you know that 64 percent of passenger vehicle drivers who are fatally injured between 9 PM and 6 AM have BACs at or above .10 percent (the old legal limit). Drivers with BACs above .15 percent who drive on weekend nights risk a 380 times higher chance of being killed in a single vehicle crash than non drinking drivers. For the average male (170-189 lbs.) that's about 1.5 drinks an hour. And for the average woman (110129 lbs.) you're at risk after 1 drink an hour. And if you're tired, drink on an empty stomach, have strong drinks, or take other drugs including medicine, alcohol could further impair your driving skills and judgment. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I G ET CAUGHT? Once an officer believes you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, he or she will have you perform some field coordination tests. If the officer feels that you have failed the tests or you refused to take them, i t's off to jail you go. Once at the jail you are given the chance to pick the test you want to take. After that, you get booked, fingerprinted, and given a nice colorful plastic bracelet. Did I fail to mention they take all your personal items including your shoe laces and belts? Then you are placed in a dirty cell with some interesting characters. Later you have to make that embarrassing call for someone to come and pick you up.

He who conquers himself is mighty. — Lao Tse "Louis Farrakhan is a Problem" Doris and Alex Padilla Contributing Writers So we again find ourselves battling over racial issues. America's obsession with race continues, and as usual, ignorance and paranoia persist. Unfortunately, our racial dilemma only surfaces, or is given heightened media attention in a negative context, and only when America is forced to address it. "Louis Farrakhan is a problem." So begins the cover story of the Feb. 28, 1994 issue of Time Magazine. While most can see an agend of racist ideology in Minister Farrakhan's views, the real question should be, "Why is America so concerned at this time?" Is it that we as a society are moving towards more racial tolerance and such words are offensive? Is it that the "political correctness" age that we so gladly subscribe to, allowsno room for such verbiage? Or is it that such words coming from a group like the Nations of Islam are just too forceful? When an organization through a charismatic leader like Farrakhan fills up the seats of Madison Square Garden, the Los Angeles Sports Arena and other major public entertainment venues, people take notice. When an organized security force can combat drugs and crime in the most crime-ridden city areas where the local police departments are powerless, heads turn. When a group can reach into our prisons and successfully rehabilitate discarded individuals, something is definitely going down. Farrakhan certainly speaks about fact. African Americans have been struggling for social equality and economic independence in America since its conception. Farrakhan states that his goal is not to teach hate. The main focus of his argument calls for change in social perspective for African Americans. To learn true "freedom" in America requires economic control over oneself, and collective, or group control of community businesses. This is sound strategy, and to these considerations, Farrakhan does speak for African Americans. However, in promoting more hate and discourse among ethnic groups, Farrakhan does not represent the voice of most African Americans. For African Americans to take the hate that has been so bountifully served upon them in America and deflect it upon another ethnic group is counterproductive, and we understand that. The irony continues to be America's lack of understanding the obvious. If hate is being promoted in the African American community, it certainly does not come from Farrakhan, The Nations of Islam, or any of its members. America only needs to look at the fabric of its societal framework to see the seeds of this deadly virus. If there is a problem with Louis Farrakhan, it rests with those organizations in America that do not wish to see any unity or real progress made by the African American. Until we discover our inaccuracies in attitude and judgment towards each other, and venture toward a change in understanding each American, we shall continue in ignorance and remain a flawed nation.

Videogames? For the student lounge. Give me a break. Are we really serious about our reputation in the academic community? Do we intend to uphold our reputation as a challenging academic campus? Not by providing vidiot entertainment in the lounge. What is wrong with installing a television in the lounge that could serve to provide us with news, Discovery channel, soaps for the truly deprived or any other manner of dubious entertainment? Who is paying for these games? They aren't free, and I certainly would hate to think that any portion of my already excessive fees were being used to provide the students with mindless and idiotic entertainment. If we are overly concerned with entertaining the students, why not simply devote a portion of the computer labs to computer games? At least students with the urge to entertain themselves would pick up some computer skills. I personally feel that video games have no redeeming social value and they do not belong on the campus of a school that is attempting to make its mark on the cutting edge of academia. Unless, of couse, we are not. I do not come to school here to be entertained. I come to get an education. Maybe if more students were to rethink their priorities, they might see that the games have no place on campus. Susan Gehrke Student Lounge TYirned into a Playground Dear Editor: The other day, I stepped into the student lounge to read a bit before class. What I found upon entering was a pool table, three video games, and fewer students using the room to study than was previously the case. What has happened to the student lounge? It's been turned into a playground. If you believe, as I do, that a college campus should primarily concern itself with creating an atmosphere conducive to learning, then you would probably agree that this is not the best way to use the lounge. This campus has the advantage of having an atmosphere that centers around education and a studentbody that is bent on academic achievement, but the arrival of these games lessens this advantage. I've talked to several friends on campus, and I hear much the same thing. That is, that i t's a waste of space, and almost embarrassing. While I, personally, have a soft spot for a good game of pool, I sincerely doubt that is the best use for our lounge. And, I wouldn't be completely honest if I said I have no problem with video games such as Mortal Kombat, but do we want to spend our valuable and limited space on these devices? I would argue that we do not, and I suspect that those students who do make use of the lounge would agree. What students need on campus is a place to study in some degree of silence, that is, without the noise of the Dome, while, at the same time, being able to drink a cup of coffee or have a sandwich. The study lounge was the best place to do this, until Mortal Combat came into the picture. Now, the students that used this room for that purpose are combating the noise of the Dome, or pooling at the tables just outside of it. The decision has been made, for now. But we can change it by gathering 200 signatures in order to place the issue on the spring ballot. Then, we can all be involved in deciding how to best utilizerthe student lounge. Barry Walker Lexis/Nexis isn't Perfect Yet -- f iii Dear Editor: I applaud Mr. Holmes' letter! I see that he is as concerned as we in the library about the computer competency requirement. We recognize that students need extra help in using the computer resources in the library. Our concern led us to hire and train students to serve as Information Assistants (see Pride article October 22,1993). We believe that by educating and providing assistance through the Information Assistant Program, students will learn to evaluate their searches better, limit their printing to what is essential for their research, and learn to appreciate the capabilities of downloading. We are also environmentally conscious and unfortunately students do tend to abuse printing so we continually encourage students to download their searches to a disk. The library has even been selling disks at cost to make it easier for students. Mr. Holmes does not have all the facts straight about Lexis/Nexis and the printing/ downloading problem. The incident recounted by Mr. Holmes is true; students have been known to print reams of paper from Lexis/Nexis. At the end of fall semester the library inquired about the possibility of disablingthe printing function from Lexis. We were told that this was not possible. Much later and totally unrelated to our inquiries, Mead Data (producer of the database) informed us that they would no longer support the download document feature. However, they do allow us to record a session onto disk. This feature captures the entire search to be downloaded but requires Past Is the ?

"T ith the box-office success ofJurassic Park \ J \ J and the critical success ofSchindler'sList, T T this has been the year of Spielberg, and there is little doubt that the upcoming Academy Awards ceremony will do anything but put the icing on the cake. Schindler's List has more nominations than any other film, and Spielberg has captured all the other awards (Golden Globe, Director's Guild) that usually serve as indicators of Oscar performance. Also, the Academy has shunned Spielberg for years and Schindler serves as a perfect opportunity to make up for past exclusion while at the same time rewarding the socially conscious, epicfilmmakingOscar so loves. It is unfortunate, though, that so many otherfilmsfar more cinematically interesting and daring than Spielberg's work will be shut out in the process; BEST PICTURE Nominees: Schindler's List, The Piano, Remains of the Day, In the Name of the Father, The Fugitive Not much suspense here, though this is a fairly wellrounded selection of qualityfilmsthat (with the exception of The Piano) break very little new cinematic ground. Short Cuts and Fearless were far superior to most nominated films but not nearly as accessible. The Academy went out on a limb last year by choosing the unsettling masterpiece Unforgiven, but expect no such luck this year. What Will Win: Schindler's List What Should Win: The Piano BEST DIRECTOR Nominees: Spielberg, Jane Campion {The Piano), Robert Altman (Short Cuts), James Ivory (Remains of the m <m m.*6r.t*m. <* mm i m < * ~jt j r ^ «t & jm m. s» Jt hm -nt jr-*. her career in The Age of Innocence.

Jonathan Demme's fine direction in away all competition for her passionate, complex portrayal of Philadelphia and Fred Schepsi's work on Six Degrees of a mute pianist. Who Will Win: Hunter Separation were unjustly shut out, but Campion deservedly Who Should Win: Hunter makes her mark as only the second woman to be nominated BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR for best director. Nominess: Tommy Lee Jones (The Fugitive), Pete Who Will Win: Spielberg Postlethwaite (In the Name of the Father), John Malkovich Who Should Win: Altman (In the line of Fire), Leonardo DiCaprio (What's Eating BEST ACTOR Gilbert Grape), Ralph Fiennes (Schindler's List). Nominees: Tom Hanks (Philadelphia),r Laurence This is the category with the most talent. Jones stole Fishburne (What's Love Got to Do With It?), Anthony Hopkins (Remains of the Day), Daniel Day-Lewis (In the The Fugitive from the.talented Harrison Ford and newcomer Fiennes bitathed life into Schindler. Postlethwaite was Name of the Father), Liam Neeson (Schindler's List), This is the toughest category to call, though Hanks remarkably moving without being the least bit sentimental. Who Will Win: Fiennes looks like the favorite for his performance as a homosexual Who Should Win: A 3 way Jones-Fienneslawyer dying of AIDS. His co-star Denzel Washington was 'X just as impressive, but the Academy has always loved tragic Postlethwaite tie, J; BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS star turns mid giving Hanks the award would make up for the Nominees: Holly Hunter (The Firm), Emma Thompfact that the film was slighted in other major categories.

Are you stuck in rut? Why notjump off the bandwagon and sharpen the creative side of your mind? Solana Beach has a well-kept secret that is slowly but surely beginning to leak out. Tucked away in Lomas Santa Fe Plaza just off of the Lomas Santa Fe exit is the North County Repertory Theatre. Believe it or not, the theatre has been around since 1982. It was started by Olive andTomBlakistone. The theatre is charming and quaint and holds 185 people. Although a non-equity theatre, the North County Rep, as locals call it, produces professional quality plays. The actors receive a pittance compared to other major theatres but actors vie to be in the plays because of the high caliber productions. Plays range from comedies such as Neil Simon's Biloxi Blues, to more dramatic productions such as the recentM. Butterfly. Every play is fresh and new with an interesting flair. Having attended numerous plays at the North County Rep, I have never been dissappointed. One of the funniest was a crazy comedy by Neil Simon (a favorite of the theatre) called Rumors. I ached from laughing so much. There is a new play every couple of months. Tickets are regularly priced at $16 but with a student I.D., they are only $12. The theatre is in a terrific location, next to a cute coffee house that features home-baked goodies and music. The Samurai Restaurant and Froglanders Yogurt are also in the plaza. And, there is plenty of parking! - So... what does all this mean to you? Not only does the theatre have plays, they also offer acting lessons for adults and children. Auditions are open to everyone and students are often used in productions. If the idea sounds good but you're tight on money, you can volunteer as an usher and acquire free tickets. This summer the North County Rep will be launching their new children's theatre. Currently featured is a delightful romantic comedy by Wendy Wasserstdp, I$n'tlt Ro-« mantic. It is very refreshing^iist in time for Spring. So, next time you can't think of what to do, give the North County Repertory Theatre a try. You might find it a very pleasant surprise.

MARCH 11. 200.1 Results of Survey show CSUSM leads in Writing, Technology, Number of Commuting Students By GABRIEL MARTIN Pride Staff Writer The results of the 2002 National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) have been released and Cal State San Marcos has received high marks from students for the third year in a row. The survey compares the responses of incoming freshmen and graduating seniors to those in master's level institutions across the country, as well as other schools in the CSU system. The NSSE survey has been conducted every spring since 2000. The survey items examine the extent to which students exhibit "good educational practices" as determined by a consortium of national educators. The questions ask students to estimate how much time they spend on such activities as writing and group work. College staff is not involved with the survey. The Center for Survey Research at Indiana University compiles the questions and randomly selects which new freshmen and graduating seniors receive it. 367 San Marcos students were chosen to take part in the survey, which was distributed to around 80,500 students nationally. More than half of polled students even tually returned a complete* survey, a better response rat< than average. The schools] that were involved include« twelve other CSU campuse: and 161 master's level col leges, both publicly and privately funded, across the U country. ably lower than both students - about eighty-eight the national and CSU percent, compared to approxiaverage.

The CFA is also worried about the proposed cuts in student service funding, which will reduce the extent of cultural, social and developmental programs that are accessible to CSU students. The CFA has declared that "Unfortunately, CSU administrators view the Governor's proposal as a 'best case scenario' and many policy makers believe the CSU's exposure to additional cuts is significant." As avowed in the conference, the Chancellor considers himself to be an optimist. Accordingly, he went into depth about some of the strong points within the CSU system. First he declared that, even after last year's cuts to would See CHANCELLOR REED, page 2 �Fall 2003 Commenoement Ceremony Not in Budget Plans By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff Writer Spring commencement ceremony is held every May for graduating students who have finished both the fall prior to that spring semester as well as those who have completed their degrees that semester. Cal State University San Marcos does not have plans to hold a fall commencement ceremony similar to the spring commencement. The fall 2003 graduates will be included with the spring 2004 graduates in May 2004 at whichever venue the commencement committee decides upon. Fall 2003 graduates will be given a small reception in their honor at the end of the fall semester in December 2003. The commencement ceremony is the usual pomp and circumstance walk-through ceremony like high school and university graduations. The graduates wear robes, walk up to the stage in front of friends, family, and all other graduates in order to receive their diplomas for the completion of their degrees. The Fall Recognition Recep- tion, which will be held in the fall graduates' honor after the fall semester, consists of a small reception with refreshments, speeches from members of the administration, and takes place in a casual atmosphere. The graduates' names are not read, they do not wear a robe, and they do not receive their diplomas up on stage. In years past, President Gonzalez, Dr. Martinez, and the ASI President have spoken at the reception. Historically, this gathering has been held on campus. Is there a possibility of holding a real commencement ceremony in the fall? "At this time, no," According to the vice president of student affairs, Dr. Francine Martinez, "The costs associated with planning and holding a full commencement ceremony are prohibitive.

The learning of a second language is not a requirement at many schools, and graduating seniors are much more likely to learn a second language before they graduate. Students at San Marcos report a slightly larger emphasis on analysis and incorporation of abstract theory than at other master's level schools, particularly at the freshmen level. Seniors at San Marcos are slightly less likely to learn through repetition of memorized material than other CSU students, though nationwide and at the freshman level there is an equal emphasis on memorization.

Past commencement ceremonies for CSUSM have been held on campus at Forum Plaza, but because of construction projects in that area of campus, the ceremony was moved to the Del Mar Fairgrounds where it was held last year, and where it will be held again this spring. What can students do to voice their opinion on this topic? "Over the next few months elected ASI representatives will be going to students and asking for comments/thoughts on these opinions; students should take the time and respond. Additionally, we will plan to have information tables set up on Forum Plaza and an information session where students can also share their thoughts," said Martinez.

They are more likely to make presentations and work in groups on class projects. Compared to other CSU schools, they are more likely to ask questions in class. Despite the heavy workload, CSUSM students say they are happy with their education and would enroll in this school again. More CSUSM students reported that their class work makes them better writers and more technologically capable than did students at other schools. San Marcos students are also happier with their faculty than other CSU students, though nationally the response to faculty is similar.

The deadline for spring 2004 graduation is in late September, so the figures for spring 2004 commencement will not be available until sometime after the deadline. Marcos is only slightly different from the other CSU schools in this regard, but much more so than national schools, especially among freshmen. Also, students at San Marcos are less likely to work in internships or apply what they learn in school to their current jobs, and less likely to interact with faculty outside of class. San Marcos students, seniors especially, reported that there is little support on campus for non-academic needs, such as family or social issues.

Commenting on San Marcos' first place position, Axlund said, "As soon as we start getting too comfortable with where we are in the standings and stop putting forth the effort I know we can, the other schools out there will pass us." When asked if he felt that would happen, he replied "Not at all. We are all good players, and we will just keep playing." The men's next golf tournament will be on Mar. 17, hosted by Drake University at the Diablo Grande Golf Club.

Weather was on the compliable side for opening day, and the women's golf team gave a respectable performance by finishing in first. The second day weather conditions were not so forgiving because of the rain.

By MARY SCHIEFELBEIN Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos had the pleasure of hosting the Guerrilla Girls last Tuesday, and the sold out show began at 6 p.m. in the Arts building. Born in New York City in 1985, Guerrilla Girls started as a public educational campaign, fighting against the devaluation of women in art and science culture. Guerrilla Girls have produced over 100 humorous, sarcastic, in your face and, to some, offensive posters, stickers, books, printed objects, and billboards as their voice. Over the year they have been a part of events that have exposed sexism and racism in politics, the art world,film,and the culture at large. Monkeying Around The show opened with the infamous Guerrilla Girls coming down the aisles, adorned in true jungle drag fashion (mammoth size gorilla masks and black attire) and throwing bananas out to the audience.

CATALAN Pride Staff Writer Learning and thinking about societal norms will be the emphasis of Women's History Month at CSUSM - cultural life, political life, and social life. The societal realization and coming of age of the strong, intelligent, and hardworking woman is the reality of what a woman is today. The events this year on campus will consist of various events that will be held on campus from Mar. 4 through Mar. 27. One of the scheduled events for Women's History Month at CSUSM is "The Feminism Is For Everybody Panel, which will be on Mar: 19, 2003,Sfid the host of the panel will ?? be Dr. Maribel Garcia, professor of Women's Studies, along with guest lecturer, Professor Denise MacNeil. Dr Garcia stated, "This student panel is intended to answer the question, 'What is feminism?' by addressing critical issues ranging from feminism, welfare reform to feminism, and the Father's Right's debate. The objective is to both educate and empower young men and women by discussing contemporary issues of race and gender. It will address the importance of our role as women and men in today's society by introducing the audience to women's studies."

Jennings commented, "Most of our students, who have grown up in the 1980s and 1990s, and know the women's rights movement as a part of history; they weren't there to experience it. But they, both men and women, are also products of that history, of all the hard work, sacrifice, and commitment it has taken to empower women and move closer to equality."

One of the show's highlights was when a student from the crowd, junior liberal studies student Nimitz Bagtas, volunteered to be a part of the Guerrilla Girl's grand finale. He was to dress up as a woman, donning a skirt and pink ribbon tiara. Hamming it up for the crowd, Nimitz asked ARTS Another show highlight that received a round of applause was when junior communication major Honee Folk stood up to say she did not realize how underrepresented women were in the art realm and that she could identify being a black woman. She said she really appreciated the Guerrilla Girls for bringing that to her attention. Folk also said that there's a significant chance for the women at Cal State San Marcos to be underrepresented with the ASI Elections coming up. Though the ratio of women to men at San Marcos is 60 to 40, only three women are running in the elections, so there is great potential for the student government representatives to be all male. One of the Guerrilla Girls asked her if she was running and just as Folk replied with a "yes!" the crowd broke out into applause, whistles and "Women's History Month is a time to celebrate women and their accomplishments. Women have always made a difference and significance in our society, along with men, but have never been acknowledged due to being a woman, in our male dominant society." Women from Cal State San Marcos (CSUSM) will share their experiences, knowledge, and adversities from all lines of work. From women artists, authors, elected officials, scholars, CSUSM, and community women from all over - will reveal their experiences of what being a woman in our society today has meant to themselves and to fellow Linda Pershing, director and women. professor of CSUSM's Women's Studies program stated, A whole series of events, performances, panels, and workshops are entailed for this very, big event of Women's History Month at CSUSM. Women's suppression, subordination, achievements, and accomplishments of the past and present are going to finally be recognized. The contributions of women have been overlooked for so long from a historical point of view. Women are still struggling to find themselves, fighting for equality, genderism, racism, sexism, and not finding total equality, but equitability in our patriarchal society. shout outs. The show closed with questions from the audience. "How many Guerrilla's are there and does the group consist of many ethnicities?" asked a member of the audience. One of the Guerrilla Girls replied that there are many women of different ethnic groups, different sexual orientations.

Klezmorim, the musicians who played klezmer music, were often traveling musicians.

The musicians faced each other and played as if they were having a conversation, one instrument speaking, then the other responding. The contrapuntal effect of the two lines of music moved the piece forward, and kept the audience involved. All the musicians were on stage for the two final pieces of klezmer music. The first was a traditional wedding piece, often played as an improvisation. Imara and Goldberg played the sax, each taking turns making their instruments cry and wail, perhaps mimicking the mother of the bride. The musicians laughed as they enjoyed the improv, and the audience began to clap in time to the music. "Broiges Tanz," or The Dance of the In-Laws, was thefinalpiece. This group of musicians clearly enjoyed playing together as much as the audience enjoyed listening to them. The hour passed too quickly, and then the audience was on its feet clapping and whistling in appreciation for an all-too-short evening of klezmer. �THE PRIDE Dear Editors, Regarding Jamal Scarlett's Feb. 18 article, there is no doubt in my mind that there is a liberal bias at Cal State San Marcos. The faculty being liberal is a small problem. The big problem that I have is the fact that the Cal State system is liberal in general, and tends to tilt towards the left. Here is what I mean. 1) The majority of the Cal State Schools have done something I find to be unpatriotic, especially during this period in which the U.S is getting ready to defend and preserve freedom around the world. We no longer celebrate the birthday of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington on President's day, or Columbus Day, to name just a few. Those holidays have been moved to December, a month during which school is out for three of the four weeks. Instead, we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. . Day, and Caesar Chavez' birthday. I find that an insult to our founding fathers. Lincoln and Washington are two importantfiguresin our history. To me it sounds like the liberals that made this decision are trying to be "Politically Correct," and not offend anyone, that is unless they are 'Dead White Guys'. People have often accused liberals of being Un-American, well this is just one example to show that the facts are there. 2) Inviting a leftist liberal like Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton to speak at our school, with no balance of inviting someone on the other side of the political spectrum shows liberal bias. Where were Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Savage, Pat Buchanan, and Bernard Goldberg when they were doing their book tours? Not here. I can go on and on, but I am sure that we all get the point by now.

Matthew Black Junior, History Dear Editors: As our nation faces war with Iraq, I notice many anti-war protests taking place throughout our nation. Although I do not like to see our country divided, I know it is our right to do so, and feel happy we have this right to exercise. My concern does not lie with those who oppose war; it lies with the support needed for our troops, for they are the ones who let us exercise this right and all others. Our troops are doing their job, whether they agree or disagree; they will continue to follow and carry out the orders of our commander-in-chief. My reason behind this letter is not to ask you to support or protest a war with Iraq, but to ask you to come together and support those who left their homes, friends, Dear Editors: and merits of both candidates, and security office, Mr. Ridge."

Amber De La Torre Junior, Sociology In response to Matthew Black: You're a good mouth piece for the "Blame -America-First- Club," but you take things way out of context, and have serious flaws in your arguments Mr. Black. You first rambled about how the U.S. backed Saddam in the 1980s and even Osama bin Laden for a while, and yes, both of them did share a common interest at one point with the U.S. But you fail to mention, that we backed him as part of the containment policy against the former Soviet Union's attempted expansion into the region. The Soviets at that time were backing Iran during their 8-year war with Iraq. And let's not forget that Iran had taken hundreds of Americans hostage in the early ages as well. You also said that we encouraged Saddam to use chemical weapons on Kurds and Iranians. Did you ever stop to think that maybe those with you, then you help them. Then to hide among civilians. And that's very Kurds and Iranians got gassed if they stab you in the back, (for the why innocent people get caught in because they werefightingwith the safety of all Americans) you punish the crossfire.

Barack Obama's delegate lead narrowed and his 12 consecutive victories ended unexpectedly, but the Illinois Senator secured a win in Vermont. The evening was equally eventful for Republican candidate John McCain, as he successfully secured his party's nomination. Clinton claimed her three wins that followed a succession of defeats so powerful that they could alter t he delegate race completely. Obama dismissed these allegations, insisting, "We have nearly the same delegate lead as we did this morning and we are on our way t o winning this nomination,'9 as reported by MSNBC on Wednesday.

Also, families that make less than $60,000 per year will not be expected to pay for boarding and most other expenses. Stanford's annual tuition costs $34,800, and next fall, will rise to $36,030.

JN VÌ F M ^NE O D G "SDSIT is spreading the Chlamydia and it's going to come to you," said Sister Cindy. Apparently "the Chlamydia" has become so strong that it now functions as its own entity. On Feb. 27, Evangelist, Brother Jed and his wife Sister Cindy (Mrs. Brother Jed), invaded the CSUSM campus and gave a modern twist to what might resemble the Great Awakening - the good old fire and brimstone days. Mr. and Mrs. Brother Jed reduced themselves to nothing but adolescent school children when they started singling out students and calling them "lesbians" based on their attire. Female students were deemed "whores" while male students were called "whoremongers." Their "sermon" served more as a comedy hour while students gathered around to retort their outrageous and invalid claims. Brother Jed and his wife's harrowing remarks and messages of religious intolerance do not encourage substantial discussions — like the ones facilitated in our classrooms— but rather, a spectacle where hateful speech is met with angry replies. The pair distastefully provoked the crowd by using cheap and petty remarks to generate attention. Luckily, members of InterVarsity, CSUSM's Christian com- munity, serve as the antithesis to Brother Jed's intolerant and bigoted message. Last Tuesday, the group aimed to counteract the negative impression of Christians left by Brother Jed and Co. While individuals like Brother Jed and his wife come and go on our campus, InterVarsity's message of tolerance should serve as a constant reflection of our Christian community here at CSUSM.

A fter a long trip alone from Mississippi to Green Bay, Wisconsin, a teary eyed Brett Favre held a press conference letting the world know his career is over. So to celebrate the end of John Maddens love affair with Favre and the end of Favre's career, here are the top five Brett Favre accomplishments. 5. The Beginning The first game he played was in an Atlanta Falcons uniform. His first pass as a Falcon was intercepted and returned for a touchdown. A year later, Favre entered the game off the bench and saw his first completion in a Green Bay Packers uniform get deflected and completed by himself for a seven yard loss. 4. 253 Consecutive Regular Season Starts A fter replacing the injured Don Majkowski during the game in week three, Favre started week four and wouldn't relinquish the spot. Favre would become the all-time leader for consecutive games started by a quarterback and second all-time in the NFL behind defensive end Jim Marshall. This accomplishment can go down as one of the greatest records of all time in a position that is constantly being pounded by 300 plus lineman. 3. Passing Marino A fter throwing a 57-yard touchdown pass to Greg Jennings against the San Diego Chargers to tie Dan Marino's all time touchdown record. The following week, Favre rocketed pass Marino when he hit Jennings on a 16-yard slant pass. «He finishes his career with 442 touchdown passes. Similar to Barry Bonds holding the all time home run record until Alex Rodriquez passes him up. Favre seems to be holding this record and others until Peyton Manning (306) can pass him up. 2. In Memory of Irv Favre On December 21, 2003, Favre's father died of a heart attack while driving his truck. The next day on Monday Night Football, Favre would keep the Packers playoff hopes alive when he would play one of the best games of his career. Favre threw for 399 yards and f our touchdowns, in a 42-7 victory over the Oakland Raiders. They would get even more help the following week when the Arizona Cardinals would upset the Minnesota Vikings and the Packers would reach t he playoffs. 1. Super Bowl XXXI Favre would help lead the Packers pass the New England Patriots 35-21. On the second play of the game, Favre senses a blitz and calls for an audible and then hits Andre Rison for a 54-yard touchdown pass. Favre trailing for the first time saw strong safety Lawyer Miller covering Antonio Freeman at the line of scrimmage and Favre would .hit Freeman for an 81-yard touchdown pass. Then to end the half, Favre ran a bootleg left and place the ball over the goal line as he was headed out of bounds. Favre wouldn't walk away with the MVP as his teammate Desmond Howard set Super Bowl records with a 99-yard kickoff return and 244 total net yards. The NFL lost the last quarterback of a great generation of quarterbacks such as Steve Young, Troy Aikman, Dan Marino and John Elway. And Favre has a lot to look forward to in retirement like Young, Aikman, Marino and Elway have, including becoming a first ballot hall of famer.

Blood, Sweat, Tears, Life BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer A lot of people say that I don't take things seriously enough. They say that I laugh at things that shouldn't cause laughter. They're right, and today was no exception. They found my uncle dead. But death cannot conquer the humor of my family. Why cry? It's natural to mourn, I know, but.. .he's not rotting in the ground. In my belief system, which you may or may not agree with, he's gone upstairs, where there's no cold or hunger and the party never ends. It's not the end. It's just a change of address. This got me thinking about a lot of things. Perhaps you think about them too. You think, "My backpack is too damn heavy." Or maybe, "I wish the weather would make up its mind." Something along the lines of, "I hope that jerk behind me in traffic dies a long, slow death," or maybe, "If my mom calls and yells one more time, I'm going to tell her where to stick i t" Life's too short, people, too short. I complain in this column because it can be funny, because people can relate. We all have the same worries and trials sometimes. But if we all lived a little more like my uncle, we'd all be a hell of a lot happier, and we'd h e having a party right here, right, now. Here are the tips he had for me, when I was smart enough to listen. 1. Do something you love everyday. He loved books, and probably read one everyday. That may be a little extreme, but so what? H | _ JJ1 He encouraged •BIB me in whatever ^ M B ^ ^ M r ^- / i I liked. So, put E F"' v H L j your homework t w% down and throw your cell phone out the window. Go do something that makes you happy. 2. Don't worry about a hair in your food. Hair is protein. I always took this to be a little deeper though. People die alone and starving every day. So, there's a single hair in your food. Who gives a crap? Refocus your priorities, before you end up a spoiled brat. 3. Love your neighbor. You know what? That doesn't mean your neighbor is going to be your best friend. You might not like his loud parties, big-haired wife, or vicious Chihuahua. But if you can do anything to help him, don't turn your back. And it really does come around. Always. 4. Never put off until tomorrow what you can do next week. My uncle procrastinated until the very end, and I hope that in some ways, I do too. If your options are to stay here and be a responsible citizen or run off the Bahamas for who knows how long, I hope you chose wisely. Never be ashamed to be the one crying at a funeral. But never be ashamed to not be crying at a funeral. I won't be crying. I 'll be wearing my dancing shoes, because that's what he would have wanted. oice W hat d o y ou t h i n k t he b est r esources a re o n c ampus f or n ew s tudents?

However, CNN reports that McCain expresses nothing but gratitude for the support. face serious financial pressures, and we are doing all we can to assist them," said Stanford University President John Hennessy in a written statement. Diversity and economic opportunity are priority in Stanford's announcement. "If we want to increase the benefit each student receives from the diversity of a school's student body, we need to find ways to pull different people together — not by forcing interaction, but by providing enough pull to balance the natural push for people with common backgrounds to congregate together,"said Stanford columnist Kai Stinchcombe. The average annual income of families in Stanford is $120,000, according to San Jose Mercury News. About one-third of the university's population comes from low- to middle-income families and will be eligible for the free tuition and board this upcoming year. Of course the trick here is being accepted, as Stanford is renowned for its degree of difficulty of accepting only the top-of-the-tier students. The news of the university's program also provides a message concerning the annual tuition increase here in the state. Over each of the past six years, there have been increases in tuition at California public schools, such as the CSU and UC schools. Last fall, fees at CSU schools rose about 10 percent and are expected to rise another 10 percent next year. From PRIMARY, page From TUITION, page 1 $10,808 to $11,182, totaling a 3.5 percent increase. Yale, Harvard, and Princeton are among the elite schools that have already provided free tuition. Stanford becomes the first major west-coast university to follow that trend. Economically this provides students an added value to attend Stanford over other west-coast schools, like USC or USD. Stanford is located in Palo Alto, California. According to the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal, Palo Alto is the nation's most expensive college town, so the motive behind the break is economically driven to fit their needs.

Raising the roof at The Clarke THE New ASI leisure courses free to students BY ROSS LICHTMAN Pride Staff Writer Some people go through his/her entire college career without realizing that there are some pretty cool perks that Cal State San Marcos offers on campus. One of those perks is the ASI Leisure Courses that are offered at the Clark Field House. These courses are free for any student that is currently attending our school and those who aren't current students only have to pay a small fee. There are a range of courses that are offered, and each one offers its own unique way of entertaining students while teaching them the basics of the course in a fun and helpful way. Some of the classes that are offered are Ashtanga Yoga, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and even line-dancing. Many of the classes are upbeat and active, which require the students to physically participate during each class session. Ashtanga Yoga is an ancient discipline that helps strengthen the body and focus the mind. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches students the act of self-defense and also helps with relieving daily stress. The line-dancing course that is offered teaches students how to do dozens of line dances for a variety of music. Other classes, such as Pilates and Cooking Seminars, require a little less physical activity and are for students that don't always like to break a sweat. Pilates offers a chance to improve posture, balance, and create an overall healthier body. Cooking Seminars teach students to be able to cook fresh and exciting dishes that they will soon be able to cook in their own homes. Jaimie Schrader, a CSUSM student who works at the Clark Field House, said "the ASI Leisure Courses are a great thing that our school does for us. It gives students a chance to break away from their normally chaotic academic classes and take classes that are more fun and laid back for the average student." College life can be very hectic and some students might get a little overwhelmed at times, but if they have yoga or pilates classes to attend sometime during the day, it can help them relax and focus a lot more. Overall, the ASI Leisure Courses are a great way for students to take part in f un and helpful classes that are offered on campus. Even if you don't feel the need to take time out of your day for a relaxing or entertaining class, it is still an enjoyable way to learn new things that aren't usually taught in our every day academic classes. For more information and a schedule of the weekly ASI Leisure Courses, please see the weekly student calendar online.

Spring Break '07: CSUSM students enjoying time off from classes in Mexico BY ALEX H AND Pride Staff Writer It's that time of the year again! The time when bikinis are in and backpacks are out. It's a time when college students around the nation flock to the beaches in hopes of forgetting everything they had to learn for that midterm the previous week. College Spring Break, originally made famous by MTV, usually has students letting go of all ambitions for a week of f un in the sun. Others use the time to make a difference, volunteering their time to serve the community. Whatever it is, it's not too late to make some last minute spring break plans. Another viable option, especially for the student population of Southern California is going south of the boarder for some spring break madness in Mexico.

Since then, there have been issues of "narcotics-related violence" but have not targeted U.S. citizens. Some rules of thumb to follow would be to stay away from narcotics and unfamiliar places and to not travel alone (something one should always do when in a foreign country).

More information regarding prices and what's included can be found online on the companies' websites. Another popular choice for spring breakers on the west coast is Lake Havasu.

While the decision to continue on to graduate school following a bachelor's degree is decreasingly becoming a luxury and more of a necessity in today's j ob market, alternative options are out there that may prove as more of a personally rewarding experience. Teaching English overseas is j ust one opportunity students out of college can experience. There are many programs established currently that train students with the skills necessary t o teach English in another country. Oxford Seminars is one example. Est a b lished in 1992, the program not only prepares students with an u p to date Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages/Foreign . Languages (TESOL/TEFL) training certification course, but also pledge stu dent placement within six months a fter completing certification with a Money Back Guarantee. The course is offered at college campuses all across the United States and Canada. On Tue. April 29, Oxford Seminars will hold an information session at the University of San Diego at 7 p.m. The closest campus to hold certification courses is currently the University of San Diego.

"If someone would have told me about teaching English overseas I would have said ' No way,'" said Taylor Bartlett, who majored in Social Science [History and Government}. "But someone told me about the opportunity about three months before I would have to go and at that time, I didn't have anything really set u p so I thought I would give it a try." The intrinsic rewards are endless when given the o pportunity to teach others. Immersion into another country also gives teachers the chance to learn new lan- Tuesday Manh / / , 2008 guages arid appreciate other cultures and traditions. Oftentimes, American teachers travel together and live in the same or proximate locations. "Basically, I love my job. I teach 20 hours a week. I am doing so much over here that sometimes it feels like I am not even a teacher. In my spare time I like to * play sports with the students. I play soccer with them (although basketball is very popular because of Yao Ming) and I do play ping-pong. I am also teaching myself Chinese." Other countries offer TESOL positions as well. Oxford Seminars place students in Western and Eastern European countries including France, Germany, Russia and Greece. Hong Kong, Japan, Vietnam and T hailand are some examples in East/Southeast Asia. Latin American countries include Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, and Mexico as well as others. While in the Middle East students have the opportunity to visit Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. "I get 5,000 RMB a month and f ree housing. This is a high paying j ob in China. The minimum wage in China is 600 R MB per month. If I really wanted to save money I could, but I am traveling around about once a month. I have been to many places in China, and during my winter holiday I went to Thailand to get some sunshine and ride an elephant!" Although some may worry that overseas work could be dangerous compared to work in the States, Bartlett assures that working in China is just as safe, if not safer, than the United States. "Protection here as an American Citizen is fine. I have never had a problem. China likes the US, well the business side of things. And in China it is illegal to have a gun, so there are no problems with that. The Chinese people like to keep to themselves. There are little crimes here and there, mostly petty theft. Someone stole my bike, but nothing serious." According to Oxford Seminars, there are oyer 20,000 teaching jobs available around the world monthly. "I would recommend teaching overseas to anyone and everyone. All of my friends continually tell me how lucky I am. You have the rest of your life to work. I think people should take a year for themselves," said Bartlett. "After college and into the big world is a big transition arid many people get stuck in a rut right away but I think that going overseas is a great experience to learn about yourself and who you want to be in the years to come."

Birth control pills work by releasing synthetic hormones that prevent ovulation. Typically the duration of the inactive pills is when the womanrakingthe pills would menstruate. However, there are other newer pills on the market that change the menstrual cycle completely, allowing a woman to only nave her period 4 times a year. When used and prescribed correctly, birth control pills are supposedtobe 99% effective in preventing pregnancy, but no! effective in preventing STI's or HIV and/or AIDS. c ervical cap A cervical cap is a barrier method of contraception compared to hormonal methods like birth control pills.

For those of you who don't speak Latin, it's a device, usually divine, magical, or technological, which allows the character to solve an unsolvable problem. It's a cop out, an excuse for an improbable plot to shamble on when it should have had the decency to die. I'd write "spoiler alert," but there's really nothing to spoil. The main character's problems were solved, in sequence, by getting stuck in a net and getting his spear stuck in a rock. Then, obviously, he received help from carnivorous ostriches, a saber tooth tiger, a star, a blind albino-midget, a scar on "[his] woman's" hand, a mammoth, an old woman and some beans. No, really, it all makes sense. The beans grew into grass, which can apparently feed an entire tribe. I guess they were secretly made of lawnmowers. Really, it all fit into the prophecies.

The Cougars shut out the Bruins yet again, by a score of 8-0. Freshman, Ashley Salvino struck out three in five innings pitched to log the first ever nohitter in the history of CSUSM softball's two year existence.

Dominican scored one run in the top of the eighth, however CSUSM fought off what would have been their first loss in the month of March as freshman, Lise Leibl drove in the gamewinning run after Dominican walked in a run to tie the game. Staying constant with their trends of late, the Cougars carried their momentum into game two of the doubleheader, winning handily - 5-0. Freshman Brenna Sandberg improved her record to 6-2 with a seven inning, seven strikeout, two-hit performance. The Cougars big weekend improves their record to 16-6 on the season.

Get off your butts and figure out what you can do to actually make some positive change." Lucas went on to say: "What does locking these people away accomplish? Eventually these people are put back on the streets with literally nothing, already ostracized from society. We claim to believe in rehabilitation, but all we are doing is just warehousing people for profit. We live in a prison society, where one in every hundred citizens is a prisoner, that's the largest prison population, per capita, than any other time in history, or any other place in the world."

I have cancer. I was released with no money, medication, no chemotherapy. .. I was placed in a homeless shelter, in the worst part of San Diego, where the streets and surrounding area are over run with crime and drugs. The system doesn't care about the prisoners or their needs. All they are interested in is the money they get per prisoner bed. Our only real hope is people like you [referring to Lucas], who really do care and help to ease the suffering." When asked about her feelings towards her own father's upcoming parole hearing Lucas responded. "In Texas, much like here in California, we make money off of prisons and prisoners. Politicians get elected by being tough on crime and prisoners. My father is getting older and with age comes a higher medical cost and the state ceasing to be able to profit from their labor. Higher cost and lower profits will hopefully make him a better candidate for parole, but we'll have to wait and see." "Here in California, the Prison Guards Union is one of the most powerful unions. They are known for employing lobbyist to push for their causes. While education along with everything else in the state is facing budget cuts at the hands of the Governor. The Prison Guards Union was given a 5% raise this year by the Governor himself," said Lawston. According to The Sentencing Project, an agency for "prison research and advocacy for reform", as of 2005, 2.2 million Americans were incarcerated. China ranks second, holding 1.5 million prisoners, although China has four times the population of the US. Wikipedia indicates in California alone, as of2006,170,000 prisoners occupy facilities designed for 83,000, with most facilities holding more than 200% of their design capacity. According to the US Department of Justice, "Of the 272,111 persons released from prisons in 15 States in 1994, an estimated 67.5% were rearrested for a felony or serious misdemeanor within 3 years, 46.9% were reconvicted, and 25.4% re-sentenced to prison for a new crime." The numbers speak volumes for themselves. In the words ofFyodorDostoevsky, "The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons." Do you think we have a problem?

"It's a blessing to do something you love for a living. The whole thing kind of caught me off guard, but it's just been such an amazing experience/'1 Prettyman—-a San Diego native ^nd local surfing fiend—is home once more from extensive world** wide touring following the 20Q5 release of her debut album, "twentythree." Back home, Prettyman is gearing up for her soph« omore release on Virgin Records, "Hello...x" due out in stores in April, and preparing for the subsequent headlining tour. "For me, this record is definitely a collection. I am dramatic, constantly all over the place emotionally, always changing my mind and things like that, and I think all the songs represent those different parts of my personality. Together all of them, as a whole, represent everything. It's weird, each song is very diverse and different, but there's a constant flow between all of them that makes them connected."

Soft and surfy, the tracks off "Hello.. .x" are full-bodied and rich with the passion and delicacy that fills Prettyman's evolving style. "This record was definitely me stopping to take a break and decompress everything and sort through stuff—the feelings and emotions and put it into song," said Prettyman on the inspiration for the album.

If the answer is "yes " I am about to change that forever. This is because of the incredible story of Joe Denges, Justin Dike, Matt Hulet and Dusty Schiefelbein of the band, Hollowell. They've played together for eight years at bars, clubs and even churches up and down all of California. But within the last few years, they've embarked on a few journeys that most local bands never get a chance to experience - going overseas and touring for the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Having two overseas tours under their belts, Hollowell is about to head out on their third, but not before taking a short detour to the African country of Swaziland where they will help kids suffering from AIDS, as well as play music for and with them. Hollowell is an alternative rock band based out of the city of Orange, California. A fter the eight years they've been together, three of the original members still remain: Joe, Matt and Justin. Dusty, the newest member of the band, has been with them a little over two years now, and is, according to Joe, "exactly what we were missing." Their previous bassist was a good friend and amazing musician, but he had other avenues he desired to pursue which eventually led t o Dusty, the missing piece of the Hollowell puzzle. While Hollowell has released a few short EPs, it wasn't really until around 2006 that they actually began getting their music out there. First, with a 5-song worship EP, "All I Am" and just this year, a 5-song rock EP, "Are You m Waiting," which gave them much popularity and notoriety from various individuals, and organizations. Beginning on March 13, 2008, Hollowell will b e with a small group of people in the country of Swaziland, helping children suffering from AIDS. When asked what his main goal was in going to Swaziland, lead singer Joe Denges said: "We have a uni- « fied goal for Swaziland. We are trying to set the framework for a much bigger picture of bringing about a positive change in the nation and its people." Drummer Justin Dike says that in going to Swaziland, he hopes to " . . bring hope to a dying segment of my g eneration..." And if nothing else, "my main goal is to be able to just bring smiles to the faces of all the people in Swaziland..." says Dusty Schiefelbein, bassist. But before they come home, they will be playing music for these children and actually leaving their instruments for the children to learn to play - an mow courtesy nouoweu The members of Hollowell pose with military equipment while overseas example of true and caring artists. After returning home from Swaziland on March 23, the guys of Hollowell have less than two weeks before they will board another flight and head overseas to support the troops in Iraq and give them an escape through music. Asking these guys why they keep Playing for the troops is very important to Hollowell, and according to Joe, "Seeing how much they are touched and what it means to them when we go over there makes it more than worth the trip. They're our friends and family, too now." What a life changing event and what an incredible opportunity these mm young men have. Their support and love for the troops is an inspiration, not to mention the fact that it is "freaking f un" according to Justin. Listening to their brand new 5-song rock EP "Are You Waiting" it is easy to understand why they were nominated for "Best Live Electric Band" by the Orange County Music Awards Committee. "I think I'd freak out! [if we won]", Joe says, "It's been a trip for us because we got into the live competition by chance and we were happily going over to play for the troops, surprised to find out we made the Dusty really does speak for all finals." Their rock anthems and crowd of them when he says, "We love playing for our troops! They give favorites such as "Naked" and so much of themselves to fight for "Voodoo" have become favorites what they believe in and to protect on my playlist, as they should on the country we love so much! It is yours. Watching these guys play an honor for us to be able to enter- is a treat. Their presence on stage tain them." is so natural, like they were meant "We love playing for our troops! They give so much of themselves to fight for what they believe in and to protect the country we love so much!" -Dusty Schiefelbein- to play together. It has been a long and hard* road for each of them, but according to their growing international popularity and local fame, I think it it's safe to say that . it was all worth the wait for them. These guys are an incredible success story. No, they aren't on the radio or MTV, but they play all over OC. They have the best fan base, and they've been nominated for an OCMA. They've toured twice overseas in Iraq and are about to go for a third, not to mention their brief stay in Swaziland. So what do they say for those of us who wish to be musicians? Dusty : "Don't give up." Joe: "Don't leave it only up to your talent." And Justin: "Don't quit unless you are hurting someone else. And go to a Hollowell show." I wish them the best of luck as they make the world better with their music. If you would like to know more about Hollowell, please visit their website, www.HollowellMusic.com (currently under construction) or check them out at www.Myspace.com/Hollowell, which is where all the best information about them and their CD can be found. Hollowell's CD can also be purchased on iTunes; you should pick up a copy - and who knows? Maybe t hey'll change your life, too. �i tHDE BY JONATHAN E.

CheerSK BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer The newest addition to the San Marcos Wal-Mart Plaza on Center Drive, off of Nordahl Road, is the Yogurt Factory/ This store takes a unique look into the world of frozen treats. Like many frozen yogurt stores, there are a variety of yogurt flavors and toppings, but there is something different about this store. Located in a small spot along the row of stores in the plaza, the store is very inviiing. Unlike most stores where customers pick a size of ice cream and pay per topping, this store's policy encourages creativity, because they pay per ounce rather than size. The process of getting frozen yogurt involves taste testing several flavors, then grabbing a cup and swirling in as many flavors one may desire. Following that, the wide variety of toppings, including sauces, fresh cut fruit, candy pieces, and even obscure options such as cheesecake crumbles or breakfast cereal, are all fair game. Because one is billed by weight, you have unlimited options as to how much yogurt or toppings you want. Possibilities range from a plain cup of frozen yogurt to a flavorful hodgepodge of different toppings. I cannot recommend this shop enough. The staff in sincerely friendly and the store is impeccably clean. As for the yogurt, I cannot find a finer frozen treat than their variety of sweet and fruity selections. Yogurt Factory is an original idea done t o perfection. Unlike other shops, which focus on frozen slabs or the color of plastic silverware, they emphasize the customer.

A wide spectrum of women from many diverse backgrounds attended, including women of prominence* community women, mentors, college women, and high school proteges. “The main purpose of the event is to intro­ duce women to the importance of mentorship .and building net­ works with other women,” said Bridget Blanshan, conference committee chair. Midge Consianza, Governor Grey Davis’ liaison and an expert on women’s issues, was selected as a keynote speaker. Constanza’s experience in “public and professional life have made her one of the most recognized,’ and often controversial, women in America,” said Becky Martinez, committee leader for the pro­ gram. She spoke of her expe­ rience and dedication to public service and human rights issues. Following the keynote speaker was a series of workshops with titles like ‘Life After High School,’ ‘Career Decisions Count,’ and ‘Mentoring.’ This portion of the conference was geared toward college women and high-school students ‘Life After High School’ addressed the options for highschool students after gradua­ tion. The lecture was followed by a brief discussion of what college has to offer. This work­ shop addressed the many unwav­ ering questions young women may experience due to the tran­ sition from childhood to wom­ anhood. By providing a circle of college women and students, they discussed the ins and outs of college and the preparation involved. ‘Career Decisions Count’ focused primarily on college women. This workshop housed the discussion based on the deci­ sions college students face upon graduation. To combat these uncertain­ tie s the participants were asked to assess their options to appro­ priately move forward as well as how to detect a choice that can be paralyzing to one’s career. » > A rticle cont. on pg. 3 California Primary Election’s Results By MARTHA SARABIA News Editor California’s primary closed elections took place last Tuesday. Although the latest results, listed March 9. on the Secretary of State web page are not yet offi­ cial, some of the results of the state and local propositions are clear enough to predict if they are passed. The final results are being held up by some 12,000 absentee/provisional county bal­ lots yet to be counted. Results: Proposition 40 The California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Neighborhood Parks, and Coastal Protection Act of 2002 passed with 56.9 percent of the votes. The pro­ tection act allows the state to sell $2.6 billion in bonds for natural resources conservation, state and local park acquisition and improvement, and historical and cultural resources preserva­ tion purposes. Proposition 41 The Voting Modernization Act passed with 51.7 percent of the votes and authorizes the state to sell $200 million in bonds to assist counties with the purchase of new voting systems. The new systems will replace the punch card, or chad systems, used in elections throughout the state. Proposition 42 The Transportation Conges­ tion Improvement Act, et. al, passed with 69 percent of the votes. The act requires that gas­ oline sales tax revenues be used annually for state and local trans­ portation purposes beginning in 2003-2004. It also allows the leg­ islature to suspend or modify the percentage allocation of the rev­ enues with a two-thirds vote. Proposition 43 The Right to Have Vote Counted passed with a strong 71.5 percent of the votes. This requires that the State Constitu­ tion be amended to affirm the right of the voter to have her/his vote counted. It allows the coun­ ties to ask the courts for a dead­ line extension to have.more time to count votes. Proposition 44 The Chiropractors Unprofes­ sional Conduct passed with 79.6 percent of the votes. The new law requires the Board of Chi­ ropractors Examiners to revoke a chiropractor’s license for a period of 10 years if He or she is convicted of various crim­ inal offenses, including insur­ ance fraud, and will allow an investigation of any licensed •2-3 •4-5 .... .......7 Vol. XNo. 6 /Tuesday, March 12,2002 D ecision s Count: W o m e n ’s L e a d e rsh ip C on feren ce ByAMYBOLASKI Graduate Intern The California Faculty Association (CFA) and the CSU administration reached a ten­ tative agreement 6n Sunday, March 2, an agreement that the CFA Bargaining Team, chap­ ter presidents and board rec­ ommended for ratification by the membership after nearly a year of negotiation. The membership vote, is scheduled, on all 23 CSU campuses, for March 22. CFA Chapter Pres­ ident George Diehr said, “I think the CFA negotiated a very good agreement with the CSU administration. By Using a cre­ ative approach, the CFA was able to get agreement for a gen­ eral salary increase - the CSU faculty will see paychecks at least four percent higher .than their March 30 check.” Not only will faculty see paycheck increases relatively soon, adjunct faculty, or lec­ turers, with six of more years of service will be awarded three-year contracts, renewable barring any “serious conduct problems” Diehr said. This is a huge gain for adjunct faculty according to both Diehr and CFA Lecturer Representative Madeleine Marshall. The nego­ tiation promises greater job security to those previously awarded contracts only on a semester to semester or yearly basis. Marshall said, “I am very pleased that the vital place of lecturers is acknowledged. We are very good, very dedi­ cated members of the academic community . . . We deserved health benefits and reasonable job security.” “The lecturers are going to see some very nice improve­ m ent in job security,” said Dielir. The CFA, the exclusive collective bargaining represen­ tative for CSU faculty, has long been in negotiation with the CSU system for salary increases, compensation com­ mensurate with the salaries of faculty at comparable institu­ tions, better benefits, greater job security (especially for lec­ turers) and affordable, quhlity education in the CSU system. The CFA represents tenuretrack faculty, lecturers, librari­ ans and counselors. The current CFA-CSU administration con-* tract began July 1, 1998, and technically ended June 30,2001. » > A rtic le cont. on pg 3 News. Arts... Food..

The current term law that limits the members of the Assembly to three*two-year terms and state senators to two four-year terms was not modified, The only difference between votes countywide and statewide was Proposition 41. It was not passed in San Diego County, in which 50.3 percent of voters were against the proposition. Proposition A Make Treasurer/Tax Collec­ tor an Appointive Office was not passed. The proposition received a resounding 78.8 percent of votes against. These results, posted in the county Registrar of Voters, leave the current treasurer/tax collector position as an elected position, which gives voters the right to vote for whomever they want instead of giving the power of appointment to the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. This is unofficial informal tion, updated on Thursday on the San Diego County Registrar of Voters website. Ralph’s Center a Nearing Completion The Ralph*s Center Under Construction Pride Photo/James Newell By JAMIEKO LANE Pride Staff Writer With the skeleton of yet another building finished, the Campus Marketplace, or the Ralph’s Center, is one step closer to completion. Ralph’s Center is growing as quickly as Cal State San Marcos. “This center is in a prime location, right next to the freeway and the campus [CSUSM]. It’s bound to be successful,” said Edward Pejora, construction manager of the site. As of today there are 24 shops in the center, and accord­ ing to Stephanie Perry, mar­ keting manager o f Regency Centers, “There are no mofe [shops] in the making.” Four­ teen of the 24 shops are occu­ pied and up and running. There are four stores that have yet to open: Washington Mutual, Pet Grooming, State Farm and a General Dentistry, headed by Dr. Paul E. Kosciuk, D.D S. These four stores are sched­ uled to open by April 13,2002, the official grand opening of Campus Marketplace. A radio host, games, prizes, sidewalk sales, and fun demonstrations are scheduled for the celebra­ tion. For those who haven’t had a chance to explore this brand -new shopping center, here’s a little update on what’s new. Right now the stores that have been open the longest in the Campus Marketplace are: Ralph’s, a local supermarket, Long’s Drugs, an all-purpose store with a large pharmacy, Starbuck’s, a coffee shop, Blockbuster, a video rental store and the hidden but large Dis­ covery Isle Day Care Center. For those who may be unaware of the more recent store openings, there are now nine more stores open for busi­ ness: Point Loma Credit Union, a local bank that anyone who lives, works or worships in San Diego County can join, Pet People, an everything-for-animals store , Mailboxes Etc., Great Clips, an inexpensive hair salon, Prestige, Nails, an allpurpose nail salon, A+ Teach­ ing Supplies, a supply store for teachers or anyone who needs teaching materials, Radio » > A rtic le cont. on pg 3 �Schmidt’s Boardhouse- Everybody’s Surf and Skate Shop - -■ ^ ____________________ By JAMIEKO LANE Pride Staff Writer The newest addition to the Campus Marketplace is Schmidt’s Boardhouse, which opened Friday, March 1. Walk­ ing into the store, one can’t help but feel the fun environment that Andy Schmidt, the owner, has set up. With the light blue col­ ored walls, loud modem music, and the plush red futon towards the back, one instantly feels wel­ comed. Whether you skateboard or surf, are 12 or 22, Schmidt’s Boardhouse is for you. “We have two different mar­ kets,” says Schmidt. “The first is junior high and high school­ ers, who are into the entire skate­ board industry. They are a lot of my business. The second is the grown-up market from Palomar and Cal State, San Marcos. The ones who surf.” Schmidt’s Boardhouse has m “Everybody *s Surf and Skate Shop, ” Andy Schmidt P ride Phoio/Jamieko Lane the top of the line in everything they sell, with brand names like World Industries, Zero, Ripcurl, Billabong, Dicky’s, and Rusty, to name just a few. Everything in the store is the most recent fash­ ion. “We have nothing from Winter 2001,” says Schmidt, vowing to keep only the most current fashions on the racks. The store is stocked with every­ thing you’d need from skate­ boards or surfboards to clothes, accessories, sandals and" Clive backpacks. “These backpacks are rockin’,” says Schmidt. “I wish I had had them when I was in col­ - ., r » _____ lege. They are the ultimate func­ tional backpack.” The store is staffed with three people: Schmidt, Brent Reid and Nicole Arrington. Schmidt, who has a bachelor’s in business administration and 17 years of surfing experience under his belt, has been a guest speaker multiple times on campus for a business class taught by professor Troy Nielsen. Once in a suit and tie in the manufacturing sales world, Schmidt expresses his view of his new business venture. “I’m excited to be putting 100 percent into this business, but it’s scary as hell.” Through a coincidental meet­ ing, Schmidt was introduced to Reid as a professional surfboard shaper with six years of expe­ rience and part owner of Invoy Surfboards. Reid, who has shaped boards under the guidance of better-known shapers such as Linden, Brewer and Welden, puts pride into Invoy, vowing to have the turnaround time for a custom surfboard to be only three weeks. Nicole Arrington, the third of the three musketeers, came on board as the buyer. Arrington is in charge of everything that is non-hardware: clothes, accesso­ ries and shoes. “She’s the one with the fashion sense out of the three of us,” says Schmidt. Right now, the store is still in the growing process. They’re still hanging clothes on the racks, installing the television and work­ ing on the finishing touches. Their goal is to have snowboards and shoes on board by-September. “We want to be the local shop known for customer service,” says Schmidt. “We want to be known as everybody’s surf and skate shop.” Schmidt’s Board­ house is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.-6 p.m., and on Saturday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. San Marcos Sheriff’s Department Holds License/Safety -Checkpoint By JAMIEKO LANE Pride Staff Writer The Sheriff's Department conducted the . first Driver’s License/Safety Checkpoint of 2002 from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on Friday, March 1. The checkpoint was set up in the' 500 block of east Mission Avenue, only 1.4 miles from Cal State San Marcos, and was conducted by San Marcos Traffic Unit, San Marcos COPPS Unit, and Senior Volunteer Unit. According to Sergeant Mike Ceq, the checkpoint was com­ pletely random, similar to that of a DUI checkpoint.

Since its inception, California State University at San Marcos has committed itself to the cultivation of student writing. Across the disciplines, at every academic level, students are required to write and professors are asked to take writing seri­ ously. The student newspaper would like to publish expository, critical, and theo­ retical writing as much as creative writing, poems, stories or film scripts. The PLS will consider manuscripts of up to 3000 words that both exemplify excellent inquiry and research in their discipline(s) and that able readers from outside that discipline to read with pleasure and understanding. Appropriate faculty judges the quality of research or creative writing. Accessibility is determined by the editor(s) of The Pride or their designated representatives. Submissions: Submissions are currently being accepted for the upcoming Pride Literary Sup­ plement. All forms of literary writing —expository, critical, theoretical and creative writing —are encouraged. Authors should avoid highly technical language, critical jargon, foreign, or math­ ematical language. When technical terms are essential, they should be explained to the reader. References to critical literature, where necessary, should be parentheti­ cal. APA, MLA, Chicago, arid all other formats are welcome as long as the paper represents the appropriate academic discipline. • The PLS favors student writing and will privilege student manuscripts that are submitted with the recommendation of a faculty member who has pursued research m the student’s field of study or published texts of a related kind. Staff and faculty contributions will also be considered. Photos or images (black and white preferred) of other artwork will also be accepted as an enhancement or as an alternative to manuscripts.

Only one out of three regis­ tered voters cast ballots in the closed primary election, making it the second lowest election turnout in the state’s history. The lowest voter turnout was recorded in the 1994 primary election, which had a 35-percent turnout, when former Gov. Pete Wilson was re-elected. According to the county’s Registrar of Voters website, San Diego County’s total voter turn­ out was 32.3 percent, a total of 438,,761 voters. Statewide, 31.9 percent of voters cast a ballot, according to the Secretary of State website. The information was updated on March 9, and out of 15,280,808 registered voters ,only 4,888,586 cast a ballot However, this is not a final count because ballots are still being counted. On the day of the election, Secretary of State Bill Jones said that only 36 percent of Califor­ nia’s registered voters voted. » > A r tic le cont. from pg. 1 Shack, an electronics store, Schmidt’s Boardhouse, which has a variety of products for surfers and skateboarders, and finally, Stir Fresh Mongolian Grill.

The second half of the con­ ference focused on many issues of concerning all women, with workshops like ‘Defining Your­ self in this Ever Changing World,’ ‘Who am I,’ and ‘Creating Bal­ ance in Your Life.’ ‘Defining Yourself in this Ever Changing World’ focused on the role women play in society. This particular session discussed how the individual perceived her-. self in the “Bigger Picture” Also discussed were assessments of values, culture and social stand­ ing, which women individually place themselves in. ‘Who am I?’ discussed issues of self-realization and self­ esteem. ‘Creating Balance in Your Life’ provided strategies on how to maximize your time, balance your time and priorities, foster­ ing healthy habits, and how to deal with conflict in the home and at work, Tanis Brown, a Human Resource Administrator, felt that this conference was “an oppor­ tunity for the outside commu­ nity to come in and see what we [CSUSM] has to offer...[and] that the young college women had a chance to share their expe­ riences and make a connection.” The last portion of the con­ ference focused on the whole woman. What is meant by the “whole woman” is our differ­ ences, our flexibility, our abili­ ties, and the many faces of the woman. Titles such as ‘Moving Forward By Giving Back’, ‘Com­ municating Your Decisions to Others,’ ‘Let’s talk about Diver­ sity,’ and ‘De-Stress this Mess.’ ‘Moving Forward By Giving Back’ discussed how the “educa­ tional experiences, professional aspirations, and accomplish­ ments” of a women-or anyoneare useful in mentoring and out­ reach.

This particular workshop was guided by a series of activities that involved self-reflection, andunderstanding others of diverse cultures, as well as the common­ alities shared by all women. “.While we all come from different experiences, we each embrace a similar style of com­ munication. As women we have many different roles, yet we have similarities and differences that make us unique,” said Parisa Soltani, the EOP counselor who led the diversity workshop. This year’s Women’s Leader­ ship Conference brought women from all sizes, ages, cultures, and professions together to create “a cross section of women together for goal planning,” said Jonathan Poullard, dean of students and committee leader. 150 women attended the conference this year, and leaders hope and expect to exceed that number next year. Successful Negotiations Between California Faculty and CSU System > »A rticle cont. from pg. 1 The agreement reached on March 2 will cover fiscal years 2001/02, 2002/03 and 2003/04. While many faculty members have expressed disappointment over the CFA’s failure to secure retroactive pay for the 2001/02 fiscal year, Diehr said, “While faculty will give up some takehome pay in 2001/02, they will probably recoup the loss in 2002/03 . . . furthermore, giving up retroactivity locked in a higher salary increase for 2002/03 than we could have negotiated with retroactivity.” Marshall said that “given the current economic situ­ ation in California and the nation, the trade-off of retroactive pay for larger gains in the future was a wise move for both the CFA and the CSU. Because more than half the 2001/02 fiscal year is over, fac­ ulty would have been entitled to retroactive pay reflecting the salary increases that the bar­ gaining unit negotiated. H o w t ever, Diehr noted that the “deal on retroactivity was made in exchange for guaranteed servicestep increases (SSIs) and the “Big Three,” and to lock in a larger sec­ ond-year general salary increase. . . . This tentative agreement trades some short-term benefits for important long-term gains.” Service Step Increases: These 2.65 percent salary increases are awarded annually to many assistant and associate professors for satisfactory perfor­ mance. Formerly, these increases were paid for out of a “com­ pensation increase pool,” which reduced the actual annual increase by about % percent (this means that if the CSU admin­ istration awarded a four-percent salary increase and the state pro­ vided funding for the four-percent increase, the actual increase was, on average, only 3.2 per­ cent.) The CFA has successfully negotiated an end to charging the pool for these increases, which Diehr said will increase salaries by about 6.8 percent (by July 30, 2002) and will also increase many lecturers’ salaries. “I’m very pleased that the process of funding the SSI’s through the pool has ^een discontinued,” Diehr said. The “Big Three:” Lecturer Health Benefits: Previously, adjunct faculty was not eligible for benefits unless teaching at least 50 percent of the time. Beginning June 30, 2002, all lecturers without any other health coverage will be eligible for benefits while engaged to teacfi at least six units, or a time base of 40 percent. Beginning June 30, 2003, all lecturers will be eligible for benefits, regard­ less of any other health coverage, at a 40 percent time base. Counselors Placed on Instructional Faculty Salary Schedule: According to Diehr, the CFA has negotiated unsuc­ cessfully for many years to have counselors placed on the same pay schedule as instructional fac­ ulty. Thisg^ime, the CFA was Successful in its negotiations. Those counselors who fall into the lowest pay range will see pay increases of up to 15 percent. Increase in Chair’s Stipends; A seven-percent increase for department chairs, according to academic year classifications, was successfully negotiated. Diehr pointed out that each year the CSU administration has reduced general salary increases to pay for the SSIs, as jwell as other ‘‘enhancements,” and that the CSU administration wanted to lower these increases to pay for the “Big Three.” The CFA agreement to forfeit retroactive pay for the 2001/02 fiscal year locks in a two-percent general salary increase for the 2002/03 year and guarantees three years of SSIs - if the CFA had con­ ceded to the lowered increase and agreed to pay for the SSIs and the “Big Three,” the general salary increase would have been only .6 percent. “By using a creative approach,” said Diehr, “faculty will see that four percent salary increase. It’s a very reasonable contract.” Other Successfully Negoti­ ated Changes for Faculty: The Faculty Merit Increase program was terminated, a pro­ gram that Diehr called “gener­ ally unpopular.” Beginning July 1, 2003, if the total faculty com­ pensation increase exceeds a 3.5 percent or greater increase, a new merit pay system will be devel­ oped. SSIs will now be based on personnel action files, and the standard for awarding these increases is satisfactory perfor­ mance. Further, faculty denied SSIs will now be able to file a grievance. Beginning Summer 2004 (for all campuses on yearround schedules), all faculty will be compensated at 100 percent, rather than 80 percent, for summer workloads. Anticipated Changes Agreed Upon by the CFA and the CSU Administration: Diehr stated that while these changes may not result in any immediate benefit to faculty or students, their implementation is required to uphold standards of quality education. The CFA is still trying to reduce the ration of students to tenure-track fac­ ulty. The CSU will conduct 1,200 searches for new tenure-track faculty beginning in 2002/03. While a new merit pay system has not been developed, Diehr anticipates the formulation of a system more acceptable to the CFA. Parking fees are not under negotiation, and will not change. The three-year contracts to be awarded for six years of service should not only provide adjunct faculty with greater job security, but also retain such faculty mem­ bers for longer periods of time. And while pay increases for summer appointments will not go into effect until 2004, the successful negotiations of these increases should help students and faculty alike with the tran­ sition from a two-semester to a year-round system. While all changes and nego­ tiations are tentative, the March 8,2002 vote will lock in all nego­ tiations through the fiscal year 2004. Diehr said he expects, the CFA will ratify the vote. Mary Elizabeth Stivers, associate vice president for academic affairs and a member of the CSU bargaining team, was unavailable for com­ ment.

Little did I know that I was about to embark on a journey into the midst of a horrific war battle, which direc­ tor Randall Wallace portrayed so realistically and heartbreakingly that the images sneakecl up on me days after I saw it. We Were Soldiers tells the true story of American com­ mander Lt. Hal Moore (played by Mel Gibson) and his 450 troops of the 7th Cavalry who were ordered to air assault into the la Drang Valley in Vietnam on Nov. 14,1965. Their mission: Find and kill the enemy! Moore had no idea, when he was the first soldier to step off the chopper and fire his rifle, that he was about to lead his men into the first major faceto-face battle between the U.S. Army and the Peopled Army of Vietnam. Despite massive American air and artillery fire support, this battle caused a tremendous amount of casualties among young American warriors. Unlike many other movies about the Vietnam War, director Randall Wallace considered one significant factor that is often portrayed insufficiently. It is the first movie that shows both the action on the war front and the sit­ uation back home, equally. More than one hour of the running time is devoted to the establishment of the soldiers’ family life - giving those young men a vulnerable, human side as loving fathers and husbands and showing the impor­ tance of their marital bonds. Also, the worries and fearful waiting of their wives is portrayed in a realistic manner, when the storyline emphasizes the heartbreaking'delivery of governmen­ tal telegrams that confirm the death of the soldiers. The movie’s opening scene, which shows the slaughtering of French soldiers in Indo China, throws the viewer right into the relentless horrors of war and pro­ vides a hint of what is about to come: Heavy artillery, splashes of blood landing on the camera lens, screams of dying soldiers, the camera angle allowing the viewer to stare right down the barrel of a Vietnamese soldier’s rifle - a horrific imagery of killing. All of the demonstrated fight­ ing scenes feel Smazingly real and evoke a wish for escape in the audience, when the screen soaks you into a desperate fire­ storm battle for survival in 100degree heat while choppers under severe fire try to bring water and carry out wounded men. Gibson does a tremendous job of portraying the brave, dis­ ciplined, and experienced Lt. Moore, who loves his soldiers REVIEW "Ice By MELANIE ADDINGTON Arts Editor In the new animated movie, Ice Age, there was fexcitement, a sense of camaraderie, struggle, and finally, the move to a new land. Of course, this was all before the movie even began. For the first time ever, the trip to see the movie became much more eventful than the movie itself. My son and I began the 35-minute trek to La Jolla and made it to the theater right when the movie should begin. We got in just in time, sat down and hoped the movie would start. But it didn’t ... for over 45 minutes. A radio station and newspa­ per sponsored a free preview of Ice Age the weekend before its release (it comes out this Friday). The two companies took about 20 minutes to hand out free gifts and to warm up the crowd (a crowd of noisy kids warmed up right before a movie is never a good thing). After they finally ended the gift giving, they promised free posters to all who did not win a t-shirt or sweatshirt. The crowd cheered, the kids shouted and talked. My son sat patiently wait­ ing for the movie to begin. I had a headache. But finally^ the moment was here. Ice Age began -with no sound. The crowd shouted and jeered A like sons and has to see them die on the battlefield. He captures the audience by reliving Moore’s painful war experience onscreen and seems to almost be Moore when he steps onto the helicopter as the last-man to leave the war zone. With the words, “I’ll never forgive myself*that my men died and I didn’t,” Gibson brings Moore’s experience to life. It is the cinematography, the enormous amount of pyro techr nique, the unbelievable work of the make-up artists, who make every injury a painful and real experience, as well as the fast edits, that evoke a sense of entrap­ ment and the inability to escape from this tragic scenery. The movie lets the audience relive the hopeless situation of the soldiers and provides a blunt picture of what war really feels like. It is not a simple glorifica­ tion of American heroes and the dehumanization of the enemy, as it so often is in other war movies. It is a tribute to the young Ameri­ cans who died in la Drang Valley fighting not for the flag, not for the country but rather, as Moore says, “for each other.” It is a trib­ ute to the women and children left behind and suffering from the fear and pain of losing their husbands and fathers, and yes, it is even a tribute to the mur­ dered enemies, who too, were young soldiers leaving behind their beloved.

John Best’s lifef is the story of a successful trum­ pet player. Born in Shelby, North Car­ olina, in 1913, John Best received his first piano lessons at the age of 6. He quit his musical education because the kids in school teased him that playing the piano was not for a boy, but several years later he chose the trumpet and stuck with it for the rest of his life. Today, he lives in La Jolla and is well known for his success as a jazz musician. Twenty years ago, Best had an accident in his avocado orchard in Pauma Valley.

This jour­ ney brings the whales near the San Diego coastline, which allows observers to see these awesome mammals in their natural environ­ ment. Two weeks ago, along with 30 others, I was able to enjoy the pleasant,, but bumpy, ride on a boat. We departed Marina Village, which is off Mission Bay Road, and headed to the outer skirts of Mis­ sion Beach. The price of the trip is nor­ mally $20 per person, but I was able to get two tickets for the price of one from a coupon in the San Diego Reader (a great source for coupons and events). While many cruises guarantee whale sightings, it is possible that certain excursions will not produce sightings. In the case of no sightings, most whalewatching companies provide cus­ tomers with a complimentary pass to return on another whale-watch­ ing adventure.

After much observation, we headed back to the dock. The threehour^ journey was well worth our time and money. I highly recom­ mended the mission for the adven­ turous type, or for those willing to try something new in the San Diego area. If you dare to participate in such an adventure, here is some friendly advice: 1. Dress in layers: The boat will go approximately five miles off shore. Most boats have indoor and outdoor seating available. Guests usually want to stay outdoors to see the sights, so dress in layers, complete with a warm sweater or jacket. Due to the time of year of the migration and the cold ocean water, it’s at least 10 degrees cooler on the boat. 2. Bring binoculars, a camera or a video recorder. Whale watch­ ing, for most, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You could catch a spout or a fin on film and save it forever. The cruises occasionally capture a whale breaching, the ulti­ mate in whale watching. 3. Be prepared for seasickness. It was strange to see about six people throw up overboard at one time. The experts recommend eating crackers or toast and.drinking Sprite before, or early, bn the trip. You may also purchase Dramamine at your nearest drug store. Some of the area’s whale watch­ ing companies to contact are: Seaforth Sportfishing (Marina Vil­ lage) at (619) 224-3383, Homblower Cruises at (619) 725-8888, H&M Landing at (619) 222-1144, and Point Loma Sportfishing at (619) 223-1627.

In the Campus Marketplace, known to many §s Ralph’s Center, a restau­ rant made for food lovers opened on Feb. 26: Stir Fresh Mongo­ lian Grill. Stir Fresh caters to all types of lifestyles. Whether you’re a vegan, a meat lover, diabetic, Kosher, lactose intolerant or the good old-fashioned eat-everything-in-front-of-you kind of person, Stir Fresh is for you. To many, “Mongolian Grill” is not only unfamiliar, but intim­ idating as well. I went into the newly built restaurant expecting a mediocre quality of food, but I was pleasantly surprised with the beautiful restaurant. It was equipped with a television for sports events or major pro'gramming, but I was thoroughly impressed with the great-tasting food. Stir Fresh is exciting, and as Cory Barhart, a Cal State San Marcos student said, “DAMN GOOD ” Stir Fresh is a buffet-style restaurant priced under $10, and its motto is “Grab a bowl and the adventure begins.” There are five steps to this adventure. The first step is to choose the type of meat you. want: beef, chicken, pork or lamb. The meat is thinly sliced and frozen for easier and health­ ier cooking. The second step is to choose your veggies. You have 14 to choose from, includ­ ing but not limited to spinach, broccoli, snow peas, water chest­ nuts, and mushrooms. The third step is to add the noodles. You are allowed to and encouraged to pile these ingredients as high as you can. “Cory and I like to smash <it down with our hands to cram more stuff in,” said Kris Asgharzadeh, a CSUSM student and friend of Barhart. The fourth and most impor­ tant step is choosing the right combination from 10 different flavors of sauce. The different sauce combinations have differ­ ent levels of spiciness and are made fresh daily. Only two are oil-based; the others are waterbased. With the water-based sauces, you are eating not only flavorful food but also healthy food. The water-based sauces tend to evaporate on the grill and the cooks, who will send you back for more sauce if they think you don’t have enough, want you to enjoy the food you create. “Since you’re the creator of your food we don’t want it to taste bad,” said Jesi Schiffer, restau­ rant consultant for Stir Fresh. The final and most exciting step is watching the food being cooked. The chef grills on an open, circular grill, walking around the grill in a circle and entertaining you as he cooks your food. After a minute and a half, your food is done. There are two grills and the restaurant has the capacity for three cooks on a busy weekend night. With your meal, you also receive a Chinese pocket biscuit, similar to a pita, unlimited Egg Drop Soup, and unlimited white rice; all three are made fresh daily. You can either choose an Express plate, which allows you one trip to the buffet, or an unlimited plate, which allows you, for only one or two dollars more depending on the time of day, to go as many Times as you want. There are also many side dishes that you can purchase, including fried rice and spring rolls. For those of you who don’t want the unlimited sodas or teas and would rather enjoy a nice alcoholic beverage with your meal, don’t worry. Stir Fresh has domestic and import beers as well as pre­ mium and house wines. For family customers with children who don’t want the Mongolian cuisine, again, don’t worry. They can order a corn dog and frie,s or choose from a list of familiar food items. If you have already eaten and are in the mood for dessert, may I suggest the Mongolian Moun­ tain, which is a warm brownie topped with chocolate sauce, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whip cream and of course, a Mara­ schino cherry. Sit out on the patio and enjoy it with a coffee from PowerSurge. It’s the ulti­ mate way to end a hard day’s work. Stir Fresh Mongolian Grill, open daily from 11 a.m.-9 p.m.,/ is located on the comer of Twin Oaks Valley and Barham Dr., right across from Starbucks and next to Subway. If you’re strolling through the downtown area of Carlsbad. Village, you will notice a wide variety of restaurants and bars lining the streets, many times on both sides. Without even searcing, you can find everything from an open-air cantina to fine dining. Then, just a bit farther east on Grand Ave., boarding the edge of the downtown area, is The Grand Avenue Bar and Grill. Hidden behind the face of what looks like your average bar is an eclectic menu that will satisfy your cravings for just about any­ thing. The food at the Grand ranges from the relatively standard bar appetizers like nachos, fries and poppers to more gourmet meals like halibut and steamed Littleneck Clams, or Greenlip Mus­ sels in a white wine garlic sauce over linguini. The prices are reasSnable, especially when you see and taste what you are served. Fresh seafood and vegetables are always plentiful. To plan for the daily happen­ ings, the kitchen manager and chef du jour Mark Thompson, places at . least 15 items on the list of specials, which includes three to five different types of fish. None of the items are on the main menu, and Thompson bor­ rows from many different styles of cooking. “Many times, I just create different things to see if people enjoy their meals,” said Thompson. REVIEW “I have pretty much free reign over the food, so I can experiment. I try to take into REVIEW Mark Thompson P ride Photo/James Newell consideration what my custom­ ers want and still offer all the items at a reasonable price.” When asked why he chooses to work his creativity and present his ideas at a bar, rather than at a fancier establishment, Thomp­ son said he likes the casual atmo­ sphere. Although the Grand gets busy and stressful, he said, “I’ve dealt with the stuffy fine dining and corporate crowd in the past. I’ve seen that side (of the restau­ rant business), and I don’t want to go back.” Grand Bar and Grill Restaurant. P ride Photo/James Newell As for his future outlook on the food, Thompson said, “I would love to see this place do some fancier dining in the future, but I’m happy just to watch the restaurant grow, press on and go where it takes us.” Even after the economic toils many busi­ ness owners faced in the past year, the Grand’s sales were up 30 percent from last year. Thompson has been with the Grand fSt about five years, but he brings 30 years of restau­ rant experience to his position. Thompson spent the better part of 25 years with the now cor­ porate-owned Chart House, and five years with Jay’s Gourmet. Each time I eat at the Grand, I always try to order something different. Last Sunday, three friends and I strolled into the Grand for a late lunch. I ordered the Blackened Catfish sand­ wich. It consisted of a long filet, generously seasoned with Cajun spices, served with let­ tuce, tomato and red onion, and I chose toasted sourdough bread. It is always hard to decide between crispy onion rings and steak fries to accompany my meal, so April, our server, suggested a half order of each: problem solved. “The food at the Grand never ceases to amaze me*” said Randy Reyes, manager of Real. Food Daily, which i s a certified green restaurant located on the edge of Beyerly Hills in L.A. County, as he looked down at a thick cut of medium-rare Ahi topped with seaweed salad and served on a toasted sesame bun. “Even though I live in L.A. now, when I’m in town visiting friends, I always come and eat at the G.” The price of appetizers ranges from $1.25 for garlic bread to $9.95 for a special lob­ ster sushi roll. Sandwiches range from $3.95 for the grilled cheese to $9.95 for the New York Steak sandwich. All sandwiches are served with a choice of potato salad, french fries or dinner salad. As for entrees, you can get Polio Baracho, which is a charbroiled breast of chicken in a tequila sauce topped with pepper-jack cheese and served with black beans and flour tortillas, for $8.95. But the Surf and Turf, which is a New York steak and charbroiled shrimp combi­ nation served with wild rice pilaf and garlic bread, will cost you $13.95. The everyday menu and dining is supplemented by a Happy Hour from 4-7 p.m. daily, including weekends. The Grand offers specials on drinks and has created a couple of theme nights: Taco Tuesday and Thurs­ day’s Wing Night. For Tac6 Tuesday, you can get two tacos for $2. The special runs from 4-8 p.m. and you can choose from chicken, fish or carne tacos. On Thursday’s Wing Night, a dozen wings will cost you $3, and you can choose from nine different sauces. The special runs from 4-10 p.m., dine in only. “Wing Night gets very busy,” said Shery Harding, one of the bartenders. “It has taken on a life of its own.” “Every time I come in, there are good eats at the Grand,” said long-time Oceanside resi­ dent Joe Lorch. Lorch was eating the Diablo Burger, which is a spicy, half-pound burger topped with roasted jalapeno and sorrento peppers and melted pepper -jack cheese. “This is one of the best burgers I’ve ever had, and it’s got some serious heat.” This month, the Grand will celebrate its 10-year anniversary, a milestone many restaurants never achieve. So the next time you’re argu­ ing with your dinner companion about where to eat and what kind of food to choose, don’t make any rash choices/ Stop arguing, head down to the G-spot, and let the menu put an end to your indecisiveness. The Grand Bar and Grill opens at 11 a.m. Monday through Friday. It opens ht 8 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday to serve breakfast, and food is served until approximately 10:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 11:00 p.m. on Friday and Sat­ urday. It is said by the employ­ ees that some regulars will stay all day on the weekends and eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. �_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Opinion _ The System Works...For Us! A New Cult Classic By Emily Kelley Pride Staff Writer The eternal questions that plague mankind: To be or not to be? Fat Elvis or skinny Elvis? Are we men or are we mice? Or how about this one: are we students or are we customers? This is what we were asked from March 7 through March 9, as stu­ dents were invited to participate in a system-wide “Customer Sat­ isfaction Survey.” The survey was designed for students to rate their happiness with many facets of the CSU system, including facility ser­ vices, financial aid, parking services, student financial ser­ vices, and university police. The survey was conducted online at www.csusm.edu/student_survey, and the results will be posted to the Chancellor’s Office Web site in July. According to the Office of the Executive Vice President, the surveys will be “used to deter­ mine focus areas for improve­ ment; this is a great opportunity to let us know what areas you think rate well, what areas may be improved, and what’s important to you.” Every semester as we men­ tally prepare ourselves for the grueling academic road ahead, we must also prepare ourselves financially for the sacrifices we make in order to become pro­ ductive, well-educated little con­ sumers,, ere, I mean members of society. But really, what’s the differ­ ence? This great nation of ours is founded on the equally revered principles of capitalism and selfimprovement. These principles intersect during the college expe­ rience, where students, of their own volition, pay for the oppor­ tunities to better themselves through education. The goods and/or services that students receive should be roughly equiv­ alent to the money they lay down. Many of us, myself included, work crappy jobs for too little pay and receive no insurance bene­ fits or job security. We exchange these benefits for scheduling flex­ ibility, which allows for the mental focus it takes to be a full-time student. We scrimp and save, we take out loans, we run up our credit-card debt, and gem erally prostrate ourselves to the financial institutions, which are the backbone of the system of indentured servitude that ram­ pant debt in our society has cre­ ated. Many people spend the better part of their lives trying to pay down debt incurred as stu­ dents. With that in mind, how could we possibly not be consid­ ered customers? It is commonly said that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. For those of us who have expe­ rienced the madness of trying to find a parking spot or the frus­ tration of being unable to enroll in much-needed classes, this is our golden opportunity. Use your voices and be heard. Let’s all be happy customers who get our. money’s worth. HAVE AN OPINION?

Welcome to the World of Aea-Dementia By JAMES NEWELL Pride Editor I would like to take a short excursion through the everincreasing world we (that is an assumption of a college-level readership) all know as theo­ retical argumentation. I will try and illuminate the extremitivity of the generalization, but first, I "must create an open forum of over-interpretation in order to have a correct perparitivization for my look into the sad fate of over-academicization. As we as a nation, that is a faction of globalization, which is a future prediction of the everpressing corporitization, we con­ tinually sift through the paths of recursive regression and ponder the world of our creation. At one time long, long ago, free speech was an extenuation of the interpretation of the amendmentization of our strongly guarded constitution. Now, in order to have our voice heard, we have to participate in the institution­ alization of written communica­ tion. So what has become of the personal governization of our freedom of expression? The institutionalization of pur creativity has taken the,orig­ inality away from our progress toward the development of our individualization.

There was a def­ inite buzz in the atmosphere and Anne Rice’s Queen o f the Damned was at fault. Forced to buy tickets in advance, there weren’t any parking spots avail­ able, and the lines were long. However, this was not enough to stop moviegoers from attend­ ing the opening, debut of Rice’s third novel turned film, from ‘The Vampire Chronicles’ tril­ ogy. Once inside the theater, there were lines everywhere filled with moviegoers chatting about their curiosities and com­ parisons of Anne Rice’s ‘The Vampire Chronicle’s’ trilogy ... I wonder if the film will be like this or that was the overture of expression. I think this is a fantastic film, a definite MUST SEE ! The beginning entranced me with its dark and ambient metal, which prepared you for the immortal star — Lestat De Lioncourt (played by Stuart Townsend). If not a metal fan, I guarantee after viewing this film you will be. The role of Akasha, the queen of all vampires, was played by the late Aaliyah— who was a rising and shining star of Hollywood before her untimely death last August. This is a great film that everybody is watching. On open­ ing weekend, this film grossed $18.5 million, skyrocketing to the number-one slot. Queen o f the Damned has continued to hold a spot in the top 10 for three weeks now, grossing $33.9 mil-, lion to date. If you’re an Anne Rice fan, you will notice the streaming of both ‘The Vampire Lestat’ and ‘Queen of the Damned,’ which really pieced the film together. I do agree with the reporter that the film lacked a satisfactory ending, but I will not gripe. The director, Michael Ryhmer, did the best he could to put together a decent film after the star of the film died in the midst of film­ ing. Considering this adversity, I think Rhymer thought on his feet and put together a great work. The breakdown of the story basi­ cally tells of a queen in search of a king to rule eternity with. During her search, the immor­ tal vamp she is seeking is out and about seeking a career as a rock star. The two vamps meet... Akasha advances the relation­ ship by taking her king Lestat to a deserted location in Haiti, where they passionately express themselves - if you know what I mean. That is all I can say with­ out telling the whole story. You, have to see the film for yourself. We will miss you Aaliyah. Ml see you at the movies . . . oh yeah, .M.A., you ckn come too.

I am tired of being a smoker because it is bad for me and anyone around me. In the original article / ‘Stop It” the writer is not attacking all smokers in general. He is after the people that carelessly throw cigarette butts on the ground, which I agree is gross.

The writer never says anything directly bad about the school’s appearance. And remember, anyone can phi­ losophize just like anyone can be ignorant.

The position I am running for is Executive Vice-President. I will be an asset to the associated student body through my under­ standing of students needs. I am qualified for this position because of my previous expe­ rience in serving on various campus committees, as well being the Undergraduate and Programming representative. I enjoy helping people, and know that if I am elected for Executive Vice President, I will improve the student and faculty relations as well as the campus communityrelationships here at CSUSM. There are a couple of major issues that I want to solve while in office. The first issue is to bring students concerns and questions to the awareness of faculty and administrators. The second major issue is to provide students with more opportunities to get involved on campus in order to enjoy campus life, as well as serve on various campus commit­ tees.

V Thursday, Hate crime response intensifies Anti-Defamation League officer meets with campus officials By Michael B. Miller Pride Staff Writer David Lynch's 'Lost Highway' film revi^wecj Page 10 Web-page honorsblack history year round : : An Anti-Defamation League official met with c ampus a dministrators behind closed doors Monday to look at long-range plans to deal with ongoing racial tensions here. Morris Casuto, director of the San Diego branch of the ADL, did not discuss details after the meeting. Casuto presented a hate crime report compiled from the San Diego S heriff's Department in 1994 and 1995 that will be available in the campus library. The hope is that making such acts public will help students deal with them when they happen on campus. The report was created by a coalition of community groups called the Hate Crime Registry. Casuto, part of the registry's management committee, said the group plans to produce one such report each year. T hrough p ublic r ecognition t hat h ate crimes d o occur, Casuto believes that perpetrators will be less likely to commit them. Hate criminals come in almost any color and group," he said. If their actions are answered with silence, they feel that a majority of the community supports them, Casuto said. Deputy District Attorney Teresa Santana, who also attended the meeting, said positive results have already come from the report. Soon after its release she was contacted by several community groups wanting to help. Santana defined a hate crime is any crime that is committed because of the victims status, perceived status, gender or race.

Miller Pride Staff Writer The battle to confront diversity on campus is being waged on a variety of new fronts. Joe Cordero, director of Institutional Diversity and Equal Opportunity at Cal State San Marcos, is in the process of putting together a faculty and administration group to develop procedures and policies for dealing with all types of critical incidents - from natural disasters and suicide t o hate crimes and bias. Cordero sees the campus as being a resource for educating the community on bias See League, pg. 7 and hate crime. Temporary child care facility to open in Fall By Jenal Larson Pride Staff Writer More on the CSU 'One Card' A g ift f rom Ann Hunter-Welborn, a University Council member, may enable Cal State San Marcos to establish a child care center. Lack of funding frustrated past efforts to organize an on-campus center. HunterWelborn's donation initiates the "Child Development, Parent Education Project," according to Christine Bennet, an educational consultant contracted by CSUSM to coordinate the child care project. For the fall ' 97 semester, the project will open a temporary facility that provides care for children 2 to 5 years old. However, a permanent building, providing care for infant through school age children requires future donations. The Associated Students' Child Care Committee, chaired by Terra Beauchamp, promotes the project's aims. Committee r esponsibilities i nclude h iring t he facility's director and staff, plus determining the hours of operation that best meet the students' needs. Although A.S. reports substantial student inquiry about child care, it lacks the See Child Center, pg. 6 While composed of faculty and administrators, the "Critical Incident Team" would be open to student input. Meanwhile, the A.S. Diversity Committee has proposed that a spot on campus become an "unmonitored f ree speech board." The f ree speech area, where nothing, theoretically, would be censored, would allow students to deal with repressed feelings, according to Kimberly Kagy, the committee's chair. I t's a form of communication." Kagy explained. Though it would make it easier for hate literature to be circulated, Kagy hopes the voice of diversity would be stronger.

By Tina Leary Pride Staff Writer Many students have voiced concern with the possibility of the CSU One Card coming to this campus. What is the One Card? Simply put, it is one allpurpose ID card. It proposes to have many features including: basic student ID card, banking services such as debit and credit card, calling card services, library card, vending machine services and computer access. The magnetic stripe on the back of the card would accommodate an identification number and the card could stay with a person for life. After graduation, your student privileges would end but the other privileges could remain at your choosing. Another desired option for the one card may include the ability to accommodate biometrics (i.e. voice recognition, retinal scan). Orientation leaders needed Students are neede to lead orientation classes this summer. Applications are available in the Student Activities office, COM 203. The deadline for application submission is March 21. Call Markus Quon, 750-4927, for more information.

Some of those familiar w ith the card said the following. Senior Michelle Carson said: "I just think we shouldn't have the card here.

In what way do you think the One Card could most benefit students? A. It would consolidate the number of ID cards and registration cards that you need to carry. Many campuses issue separate cards for various needs. For example, the basic ID card, food card, cards issued in student housing complexes, and a card for gym facilities. The One Card would reduce the number of cards to one. Q. D o you feel it could have any negative effects on students? A. I don't think so. It would be an optional service. N o one is twisting anyones arm. A student could simply use it as an ID card or have additional services. Q. Would the privacy of students be jeopardized in any way? A. No. CSU would, of course, abide by various state and federal laws that currently regulate students privacy. Q. What is the biggest selling point about the CSU One Card? A. Convenience.

The initial impetus for the program was the lack of funding for campus office space. As the test has developed, some feel that additional benefits have emerged. For program participants such as Carol Bonomo of the chancellors office the program has been a source of unprecedented freedom which she hopes to continue. She verbalized one of the initial fears surrounding implementation of the project. "For the first 3 months, I got no calls and no e-mail," she said. "People forgot that I was there." Telecommuting took a while to get used to but she now prefers the arrangement. "I am, in reality, more available now than when I had an office," she continued. Bonomo was delighted in the power given telecommuters to control their own images. "People cant see me," she said. ' They don't know my race or my age, they can only read my e-mail messages and hear my voice." Bonomo believes that those who only know her through telecommuting think her to be some tall impressive person because of her big voice, ' They don't have a visual image with which to prejudge me." Peggy Kelly, faculty member of the college of education, runs a math methods program a t local s chools. K elly e choed Bonomo's observation that the telecommuting process took a while to get started. Technical difficulties dominated as the educational set up used was different from further developed commercial applications. The technology has become a commercial standard among mall to multinational businesses. Kelly expressed guarded optimism at this point in the program. She sees many practical applications for people who have small children at home, or staff like herself in the position of having an assignment that takes them off-campus most of the time. "I was not in my office anyway," she said. "I felt guilty having work space that was just a dropoff place." Nortel (Northern Telephone) donated the equipment used. They placed their Rapport Soho (Small Office/Home Office) Routers in the homes of each participant. ISDN lilies, d onated by P acBell c onnect the b oxes through another piece of Nortel equipment called a Rapport Dial-up Switch directly to the campus intranet. "Using my computer from home appears no different to that when I used it in my office on campus," said Kelly. The university appears to be hedging their bet on this program. Kelly is assigned a conference room as her campus office and is assured of office space should the experiment not become permanent. Street price for this set-up is around Education? Retirement?

Ever notice the relaxed manner in which they teach — almost like friends giving advice to friends. They try to make students feel comfortable. Maybe they sit on a table in front of the class and swing their legs, like a student might. Or maybe they pull up a chair and sit with the students, like a friend, but whatever friendly actions they may take, don't be fooled. 'There 's No (Beer In Heaven And Other Annoying News Val Knox Out of the classroom, these teachers could be mistaken for big game hunters except they're missing the khakis and the pith helmet. Like the hunter, they discipline t hemselves in c oncentration, p atience, dedication and d elight in p itting their knowledge and experience against their prey's. But, unlike the hunter, English teachers are not after big game — their hunt is more subtle: logic errors, subject/verb disagreements, nonparallel structures, comma splices, fragments and tense shift s — not to mention misspellings. And English teachers can hunt anywhere — coffee shops, beaches, airports, bus stations — anywhere they find a chair or bench. The only hunting equipment necessary is a red pen and your paper. And so t he hunt begins. Hunting sesquipedalian words (a polysyllabic word) offers the least challenge since they stick out like a bunch of chickens in the jungle. The hunter's deadly red pen seldom misses one of these intere sting but obvious critters. Once the hunter corners the word, it is mercilessly circled with the lethal red pen. A small trophy like this often works to kick-start their adrenaline. The peccadillo, or one of the milder offenses, offers more challenges than the sesquipedalian word because it can hide so w ell. F lushing a p eccadillo r equires a hunter's full concentration to seek out and destroy the dangling modifiers, misplaced participles, split infinitives, illiterate pronouns or misspellings. Hunting miscellaneous logic errors are perhaps the most challenging to find because they camouflage themselves in the form of weak links, young hypotheses and diseased explanations. Like a hungry hawk, the hunter looks carefully and patiently waits until finally the prey is discerned — and then wham! The pen that had been tap, tap tapping in anticipation on the paper suddenly s trikes. Here! There! Hiding yonder! To celebrate — and to uncramp neck, shoulder and back muscles — the hunter sits back and enjoys a Nestle*s Sweet Rewards double chocolate candy bar and Diet Coke.

When John O'Sullivan wrote in 1845 that, "the fulfillment of our manifest destiny to overspread the continent allotted by Providence for the free development of our yearly expanding millions," he was championing an institution that sought to blanket the world in western ethics. Manifest Destiny provided us with the celestial license necessary for the dissemination of European Values through the abatement of all others. In the late 19 century, western historians declared that no history was possible without written sources, documents, or inscriptions. And, only societies that possessed such sources could be considered to have histories. Thus, as history involves change, only "dynamic" societies, principally those of the West, could be said to be historical. At the Britannica Guide to Black History, located at http://blackhistory.ed/com/ we are taken on a grand multimedia voyage through an historical universe that is as diverse and compelling as any we could imagine—written or unwritten. Here, black history is chronicled in a way that forces you to lose yourself in the texture and emotion of nearly four-hundred years of oppression, courage, and genius.

Miller Pride Staff Writer The 20-year-old non-student linked with the j uvenile who distributed racist fliers on car windshields was arrested on campus Monday, campus police said. Alexander James Curtis was asked to leave campus when he was recognized in the library by the same officer who questioned him Feb. 6, according to a police report. Curtis complied, but returned approximately 35 minutes later wearing a different shirt, sunglasses and a construction hard hat, the report said. The officer arrested Curtis in front of the book store and took him to the campus police headquarters on violation of Penal Code 626.6 (a), which allows police to direct a potential troublemaker to leave campus and not return for seven days. Curtis was cited and given a court date. He was initially asked to leave campus because he is not a student of any local school, the report said. Curtis was seen associating with the 15-year-old leafleteer and a 22-year-old male Cal State San Marcos student in the lower parking lot Feb. 6. He and the 22-year-old were not taken into custody because they were not observed distributing fliers. Approximately 300 leaflets, which contained negative portrayals of ethnic groups and called whites who associate with them "race traitors," were distributed. Some proclaimed ties to the White Aryan Resistance, a w hite s upremacist g roup s tarted by Fallbrook racist Tom Metzger. M o r e t han 2 0 0 u n d e r g r a d u a t e courses are offered.

Irene Warner, Jennifer Talak ADVISER Tom Nolan ADVISORY PANEL From the Editor Signed letter policy stands A letter w as printed w ithout the author's name in the Feb. 27 issue of The Pride. The letter, signed "Aryan Student Union President and Vice President," was run in direct violation of the paper's letters policy: "All letters must be signed by the author and include his or her name, mailing address, major and phone number." The printing of this unverified letter was a mistake during late-night production. Attempts to reach them after the fact have been fruitless. The Student Activities office has said that they have not been contacted by anyone wanting to form an Aryan group on campus, as the letter suggested. We have no verification if the letter is Aryans should give up hollow plea Erik Bratt> Roman S. Koenig, Ed Thompson, Norma Yuskos, Cheryl Evans, Renee Curry Gabe Lundeen PRODUCTION SUPPORT You may have read the letter to the editor from the so-called Aryan Student Union in the last issue of the Pride. While its true author and credibility remain questionable, we have to wonder: are these guys serious? We as a student body, as well as the administration, have already given too much attention to their ridiculous claims of oppression. There are some serious flaws in the group's logic, flaws no one seems to have bothered to address. Before I go any further, I would first like to point out that I am not a racist. In fact, I would call myself a very liberal person, one of the most liberal I know. I am merely trying to be a voice of common sense. The Aryans claim not to be receiving equal treatment from the administration, yet they seem to be forgetting one major thing: there is a white majority on this campus. Why set up a student organization for a majority that already has a predominant presence on campus? Isn't the purpose of student organizations to provide a forum for groups that might not meet otherwise? As an example, take the Accounting Society. One can't walk across campus, point at someone and say "Oh, there goes an accountant" or "Gee, I bet that guy's really into accounting." Therefore, they have a meeting ground, to discuss common interests and create a social atmosphere that might not be possible otherwise. Look around this campus. As both statistics and one's own eyes will show, this campus is predominantly white. There already is acknowledgment and representa- West Coast Community Newspapers Letters to the editor are welcome.

The Pride's policy of printing "unsigned editorials" that represent "the opinion of The Pride" does not extend to letters to the editor, as some have surmised. It refers to opinion articles without a named author, in which case the bearer of the opinion is The Pride itself. While a person's identity may remain anonymous under special circumstances in a news story, the Letters to the Editor page is not a place for secrecy. It is an open forum for students and staff to voice concerns, demand answers and state opinions. The Pride retains its policy of only printing the letters of verified writers. We apologize for the lapse. tion on this campus for white people, by the simple fact that there are more of them than anyone else. If you really want to socialize and share with other white people about your culture, it shouldn't be too hard to find yourself some. To compare the experiences of any white person at CSUSM to those of the Jewish culture or blacks is absolutely preposterous. We are not burning whites at the stake. There are no Aryan concentration camps. There is no attempt at creating a master race or a slave culture. The very fact that there is a white majority suggests their power on this campus. To believe that whites are being excluded from campus activities and expression shows a weak foundation in reality. The administration would be justified if it disallowed an "Aryan Student Union" to officially form on campus. The very name makes it sound sound suspicious, as if it CSUSM's own branch of the Klu Klux Klan — a group that needs no introduction. Besides, it's simply not needed. Like it or not, whites receive an enormous amount of representation on this campus. There's not really any need for more, and the way to get it is not to whine about an issue that is nothing but a figment of a small group's imagination and fears. The more attention this issue is given, the more it will be perpetuated by certain individuals, who still remain nameless. The Aryan Student Union is like a spoiled child. The more they whine and the administration gives it attention, the more they will whine. If they receive no attention for their crying and moaning, they will eventually become discouraged, realize they are getting nowhere, and end this ridiculous conflict. �LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Simply deal with racial problems — without media I was somewhat taken aback and m ore than slightly dismayed at the letter printed by your staff f rom the Aryan student and f rom t he P sychology A djunct F aculty m ember.. I am not a ppalled that it was printed, but that, if the statements he m ade are true, that such things would occur on this campus at all! For one thing, how can a c ampus that touts diversity discriminate against a group looking f or the s ame equal protection of their civil liberties as the next g roup? O ne does not h ave to f ind a p erson's views to their particular liking to b e tolerated. It is possible that the views expressed on this campus by s ome of the vocal groups are distasteful to me, s o w ho am I to say that they have no right t o speak their m inds? In order to be a truly diverse campus, we must allow people to e xpress their opinions in a legal manner ( come o n, b oys, graffiti went out with Jr. High, d idn't it?). I f, indeed, what is said about being denied official recognition is true, then those that discriminate will only b e f ollowing the e xample of the administration on this c ampus. I would like to applaud the youngster f or writing the paper and I applaud the paper f or showing some fairness and printing it - I j ust wonder who was the chicken f or not revealing the author, as all p apers should require. Was it the paper wishing to protect his or her anonymity or was the author of the letter who so heartily p rofesses a desire to have his or her views heard and respected lacking the intestinal fortitude to apply a name to the opinion? In either c ase - shame on you! If we as adults wish to be viewed as such and to have our opinions and views respected, then w e must take responsibility. D o not hide behind an ide^ — stand up for it (I d on't want to hear any of this first amendment crap, either... j ust be an adult). In r esponse to the c omment by Mr. Trofimoffs letter in the 2/27 edition of T he Pride - yes, I would hope that the goal of all here is to get an education - both staff and students. So why m uck it u p by creating problems that d o not exist? I have been a student on this c ampus for over t wo years and I h ave yet to see any kind of the graffiti that is being s o well publicized. I d o not doubt that it exists or existed - but, if racism was as prevalent as you propose, then why have I not seen it? If it is such an issue, then why was it not addressed b efore the news got a hold of it? A finger pointed at the Pride - where were you when this big issue needed t o b e a ddressed? It would appear, M R. T rofimoff, that thou protesteth too m uch. It w ould appear that the reaction of the administration was j ust that - a reaction to the sensationalism so prevalent in the liberal m edia. Are we going to let the outside media control what goes on here on c ampus? I only wish that it were not so. Honoring their slime reporting with responses j ust f eeds the f ire and d rives w edges b etween the people who the University claims is their mission to bring together. L et's quit turning non-issues into media circuses. Why react to the behavior of a child f rom La Mesa and make it as if it is a c ampus-wide issue? He does not go here. He doesn't even The Pmde, Tbmtsday, Maxch 13, 1997 live around here. H e was an interloper (just like the m edia c lowns) and should have been dealt with it<>n a legal basis - he was where he d idn't belong doing something he should not have been doing. H e was, most likely, attracted to the c ampus as any child would be drawn to the allure of a circus by the bright lights and cotton candy. If it w asn't so publicized, I can guarantee you he never would have been here. To imply that white students are incapable of seeing reality as it is prejudicial and insulting. A re you, yourself, open to an education of true diversity? Then I expect to see you in the front on the line standing u p f or our Aryan n eighbor's right to f reedom of legal expression and assembly on this campus (I, m yself, am happy with the diversity as it is so I will be last in line). A ddressing Mr. or M s. Aryan — if your group is designed with the intent of expressing a rational opinion — not motivated by hate - then you have my support ( look f or m e s omewhere b ehind M r. T rofimoff). If you notice, the other social groups on c ampus d o not openly express any ideas of hate or malice so I would expect you to follow the same protocol. My solution to all of this — quit making every nonracial issue on campus a race issue. Deal with the problem internally instead of through the media. Let the student body hear of these issues f rom the proper sources and not f rom the media slime that have infiltrated our little microcosm of diversity. Paul Burwick Senior Liberal Studies Women's History Month deserves more attention Dear Editors, W hile certainly last m onth, " Black History M onth" received a lot of attention on this campus, we have yet to see this same energy applied to M arch, "Women's History M onth". It would b e wonderful to see the school paper devoting some time and e ffort to reporting and recording not only activities scheduled to highlight this month, but also the dichotomy between the glorification of one m onth's event over another. I d o not believe that diversity, by any definition, should include the exclusion of any faction or group on campus. Rather, we should celebrate all cultures, races, genders and d ifferences. However, as we have seen repeatedly here at C SUSM, " PC" really stands f or "Pick and C hoose"; 2 or 3 cultures have been " picked" as noteworthy, event-worthy, class-worthy, etc. Representation remains seriously off-balance f or any others. Friday, March 7th, was the beginning of the film s eries f or W omen's History Month sponsored by the Women's Studies d epartment. T he first film w as, " When Women Unite: T he Story of An Uprising" presented by Dr. Shenoy. T he story was an incredible true tale of village women banding together t o m ake changes in their country, India. T hey not only o vercame illiteracy, but thousand-year-old cultural mores as well—all without phone, fax or violence! T heir s trength and determination was inspiring to say the least. F ive p eople attended the screening. F or t he next t wo Fridays, films will b e shown depicting and representing women and their e fforts to overcome obstacles, both personal and public. Please put something in the paper about these events and encourage the campus to attend. There are lively discussions after each film (not malebashing!) and well worth spending a Friday night on campus. It would really be nice to see film reviews of these movies, reports on the events and the discussions afterwards, reports on the effort made to educate the campus on w omen's history, or any reporting at all! Also, this may tie in nicely with information regarding the new film minor, and how the campus, overall, regularly supports a variety of themed film showings. As a woman and a student, I would hope m ore e ffort could be made by students, f aculty and the administration to support and celebrate all special e vents sponsored by CSUSM, not j ust those that a re " politically c orrect" o r " diverse" (judged by unknown C SUSM standards). " Women's History M onth" and the film series devoted to exploring and discussing the treasure that is " woman" certainly deserves more than an audience of five. Andie Hewitt Senior Literature and Writing Student rights abused, says former attendee There are a few important points that were left out of the story headlined "Professor files suit against mother of former student" in the February 27 issue of T he Pride. I feel these clarifications should be made so that the students can make a more informed choice when selecting classes and instructors. As a result of the actions and unfair dealings of the administration and faculty at CSUSM, I felt I had no other choice than to leave CSUSM for fear of reprisal from Dr. Montanari and his colleagues. All Montanari had to d o was recognize that o ne low peer evaluation s core that turned the only A given for the simulation portion of the class into a C. This particular team member gave m e 8 out 5 0 points, which is a 16%; this score is then multiplied by your simulation score. T he remaining peer evaluation scores were: 5 0,50, and 35. If he had recognized the low score as an invalid evaluation, I would have had more than enough points to earn an A. Dr. Montanari insists that I could have earned an A with the extra credit assignment offered. What the article didn't explain was that to get an A with the extra credit assignment I had to earn a 100%, and even then I was still several points short of the A. So a "gray area" existed and I did not expect Dr. Montanari to grade fairly and without prejudice. E ven m ore o utrageous w as D r. Montanari's attempt to extort me from filing a grievance. Originally, I was given a C grade in his class. One reason for that was the F he gave me in participation, 100 out of a possible 200. He said he based this on an impression and then reinforced that impression by looking at the peer evaluation scores, I guess h e felt I had failed in this area, despite my perfect attendance. However, when I stated that if h e could forget that I got up in front of the class and gave a presentation where I actually wrote on the chalkboard, then how could he remember whether I was in class everyday or whether I participated to an acceptable degree. He considered this and agreed to give me the full participation points of 2 00 out of 200. The most egregious thing that I have ever experienced in my career as a student o ccurred at a s ubsequent m eeting. Dr. Montanari stated that if I filed a grievance, that he would take away the 100 participation points, and I would therefore have a grade of C going into the grievance; whereas I thought I had a B going into the grievance. This constitutes civil extortion, the only difference between criminal extortion and civil extortion is that money is involved in criminal extortion, but what price can you put on an education. An A accounts for more than a dollar amount when y ou're trying to get into the country's top law schools. Problems exist within the university because the administration i s not willing to stand up to its professors on behalf of students. This is why the grievance process exists. I filed another grievance, citing that the issues in the original grievance I filed were not addressed. But when grievances are filed and are not acknowledged, then this process breaks down, and students can not receive fair treatment. Now Bill Satcy and the administration of CSU San Marcos are also to blame for my unfair treatment. The May 1996 issue of "A Letter from the President" quotes Bill Stacy as s aying," We are accountable to the state of California, our students, and our taxpayers for our achievements and for fairness and decency to each other." This is hard for me to believe, since to this point no action has been taken by Bill Stacy or anyone in his administration to uphold his promises and policies. I certainly haven't been treated with any decency at C SU San Marcos. Here is a list of attributes of what the student is in the eyes of administration, according to students of San Francisco State University. This was presented to the Board of Trustees on January 24,1997. Perhaps Bill Stacy and Dick Montanari should have a copy of it hanging on their walls. The Student Is: " T he most important person on the campus. Without students there would be no need for the institution. " Not a cold enrollment statistic, but a flesh and blood human being with feelings and emotions like our own. " Not someone to be tolerated so that we can d o our thing. They are our thing. " Not dependent on us. Rather we are dependent on them. " Not an interruption of our work, but the purpose of it. We are not doing them a favor by seeing them. They are doing us a favor by giving us the opportunity to d o so. Benjamin Lee Former CSUSM student E ditor's n ote: Benjamin Lee's final grievance was answered by the grievance committee earlier this semester. Stacy responded to Lee's claims by saying that it is not his responsibility to override a professor's grading decisions. His job is to insure that a (grievance) policy is in place, Stacy said. Professor Dick Montanari has said he did not attempt to extort Lee. Lee's filing of a grievance made any prior negotiations between himself and Lee void, according to Montanari. �_UL ENTERTAINMENT The Pklie, Tlmksday, Match 13, 1997 Lynch's 'Lost 1 Highway amazes By Gabe Lundeen Entertainment Editor A fter f ive years of silence, David Lynch, the man who revolutionized modern cinema and television, is back in theaters with his latest film, "Lost Highway." As only Lynch can do, "Lost H ighway" leaves its viewer walking out of the theater in a dual state of a we and c onfusion. Half of you is amazed by the movie, while the other half i sn't quite sure what you saw or what it means. T he plot is never clearly outlined.

Lynch throws reality out the window, and replaces it with with a surreal mysticism. T here is an eerie feel to the film, as though it exists on an entirely d ifferent plane than anything in the real world. There is a great deal of disturbing imagery littered throughout, and while it does shape the movie into a truly original piece of work, you c an't help but think it's a bit unjustified. One gets the feeling that Lynch thinks of sick stuff to put in a movie, then builds a plot around it. In his television show "Twin P eaks," Lynch used to have random scenes with midgets dancing under a disco light, not because it was pertinent to the plot or had any meaning, but j ust f or shock value. Most of "Lost H ighway's" shock imagery comes in the f orm of the Mystery Man (Robert Blake), a demon-like f igure somehow has a hand in controlling the characters' fates. Blake shines as the Mystery Man, a pale-faced e nigma w ho talks to himself on the phone and directs both Fred and Pete into situations they neither understand nor control. Bill Pullman branches out f rom his usual f are and gives a f ine p erformance as Fred. Patricia Arquette, playing different incarnations of the s ame woman, sets the screen on ! See Lost, pg . 11 'II Postino' is 1 'Blood Simple has fun more than characters, challenging plot romantic comedy By Jennifer Talak By Jenal Larson Pride Staff Writer When brothers Joel and Ethan Coen ("Raising Arizona") write a screenplay, it assuredly deviates f rom the formulas. Coen's characters c onfuse social conformity; his plots preempt probability; their humor illumines incongruity. "Blood Simple," the brothers' 1985 debut, reveals the Coen writing talent as well as brother Joel's directing ability. Beginning as a "simple" murder mystery, the story soon spellbinds the viewer with escalating intricacy. Particular action known to viewers and withheld f rom characters contributes to the tale's complexity. The audience, however, remains in suspense, unable to anticipate the many clever turns of events. The m ovie's "simple" story line: bar owner Marty (Dan Hedaya) hires a pri- vate detective (Ml Emmet Walsh) to murder h is a dulterous w ife A bby ( Frances M cDormand) and h er l over R ay (John Getz). A drastic plot departure quickly embarks "Blood" on even weirder windings, culminating in a denouncement incongruous to the original story line. " Blood S imple's" c haracters s hun subtlety, and their straightforward eccentricities supply strange comfort for viewers wearied by plot complexities. Hedaya, for instance, broods, and controls, and manipulates in his role as jealous husband. As a bar owner in a small Texas town, though, he unabashedly considers the business acumen of offering discounts to alcoholics. Walsh likewise wears his demeanor without reticence. Attired in head-to-toe white, the robust and jocular detective belies the " good" stereotype. (He conjures a m alevolent C olonel S anders o r a n unredeemed Welles in "Long, Hot Sum- mer.") Getz's chivalry as the tale's knight in shining armor may receive less acclaim than the other performances. His role exaggerates subtlety in parody of the strong, silent type. (I imagine Gary Cooper reciting G etz's line, "I like you, A bby" and receiving a similar, gushing response.) McDormand convinces viewers of A bby's naivete. This requires exceptional acting because one naturally questions the innocence of a woman who marries a man like Marty, a man who gives his wife a pistol as an anniversary gift. Besides f un characters and a challenging plot, "Blood Simple" invests in effective visuals. Long after viewing, the f ilm's images c ome to mind, prompting further thought about the dark humor inciting them. Pride Staff Writer Is the w hole w orld a m etaphor f or something else?

The price of an all-day lift ticket is $34 for ages 13 to 22; $40 for ages above 22. There are half-day passes available. Call the resort for details. Equipment rentals are available, but with advanced planning, money can be saved by renting down the mountain, or somewhere in Big Bear City. Keep in mind that price should never be a sacrifice for comfort and proper fitting equipment. Blisters and sore arches are not worth the few dollars saved.

James' newest varies style, ettect By Jill Cook Pride S taff Writer Remember this one hit wonder: "our bed is on fire with passion and love, the neighbors complain about the noises a bove.. .?" T his s ingle by t he v ocalist James exudes vibrance ana a carefree attitude that listeners found uplifting and good enough to top the charts. Has James maintained this exuberance in his new album called Whiplash? Well, no. But the variation of style and e ffect he uses on the new album could be another vehicle to success. The pervading spirit of his previous album may have e lectrified listeners, but Whiplash has a realism and a s ofter tone which has a Postman from p. 10 tween student and mentor. The extent and depth of this relationship is b eautifully p layed by Massimo. His character fits like skin; he is his own person. He dreams of learning poetry in order to win his true love, Beatrice. In the learning process, we are Lost from p. 10 fire with raw sexuality. She is rarely f ully c lothed,but most m ale viewers w on't m ind. R obert L oggia, as Mr. Eddy, a gangster with a propensity for violance and blondes, is also entertaining. Viewers may be dismayed by the fact that "Lost Highway" has no clear resolution, no cut and dry ending to the definite fervor of its own. As opposed to his well known lyrics expressing his passion for a lover he thinks "is s o pretty," in this album James presents a strong c ynicism about the world. He seems to display a cynical, attitude in order to imbue the idea that society can and should change, and that there are things that can be done to improve our lives and the environment we live in. T he s ong " Greenpeace" s eems to mimick what J ames views as the actual voice and mindset of humanity in regards to M other N ature. S ome of the slow, mezmorizing verses in "Greenpeace" are, "I d on't like the world I see, so I 'll j ust avert my gaze to the TV. I 'm too cool to get involved, someone else can change the channel for me. I 'm gonna suck the j uices out of the world, gonna treat her like it's all she deserves. . .she's s o cold to me. Nature i s j ust history. I j ust want to rest in peace, I c an't stop the world f rom b urning. I t's no u se to get i nvolved, y ou'll n ever s top t he world f rom turning." J ames s uggests t hat t hese words rest on the lips of much of our society today, and he seems to want to embed into his listeners minds the f act that there is hope in saving our environment — hope only in disclaiming this futile perspective and pressing on to get involved. Besides reforming his subject matter, J ames a lso steers away f rom the boisterous tune of his previous hit single and opts for an all around more mellow approach. But it is no less powerful or ear c atching. M aybe Whiplash will provide more than j ust a o ne hit wonder. You decide. witness to the awakening of a soul to poetry. His identity as a man takes form as the soul of a poet. Recently out on video, this film is categorized as a romantic comedy. But, this film reaches beyond the typical, Sleepless in S eattle, H ollywood bill of f are we are accustomed to. This film artfully fuses the beauty of nature with the beauty of poetry.

Too often we look for an easy ending. We expect to be led by the hand through a story, spoon-fed thoughts and feelings, manipulated into feeling a certain emotion at a certain moment in the movie. It's refreshing to see one that lets you decide what it was, that has no easy answers. Lost Highway" has a hypnotic power, one that does not need a cohesive plot to sustain itself. This is a movie that only David Lynch could make. Lynch has al- ways had more success with critics than audiences, and it's a shame, because hisfilmsare always thought provoking, and always worth seeing. P opular d irectors l ike Quentin Tarantino owe thier careers to the walls Lynch broke down. Shows like "The X-Files" would not be on the air today if not for the success of "Twin Peaks." David Lynch is a true American original, and "Lost Highway" is an eclectic demonstration of his vision. �ADVANCE YOUR CAREER WITH ALL THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS.

Addi- The National Latino Research Center Benefits CSUSM Students, Faculty and Community I Amanda Bergara PRIDE STAFF WRITER CSUSM has established itself as the hub for nationwide research on Latino populations. The National Latino Research Center (NLRC) is a research facility established at CSUSM in August 1999. Currently, the NLRC is conducting a program evaluation for the Logan Heights Community Health Center, evaluating its Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Program. The NLRC's main purposes are to increase awareness of what are both known and unknown about Latino populations in the U.S., and to help increase the training and competence of researchers working within these fields. One of the NLRC's projects is the piloting of a Youth Research Institute, which studies the precise issues and barriers preventing students from completing high school. An intervention program will be implemented for high school students at risk of dropping out. Initially, this research will focus on Latino youth, and later expand to other minority and non-minority groups. The NLRC is also developing a proposal to conduct a national study on the health and well being of Latino populations.

The NLRC also provides services for the research community such as needs-assessment, surveys, web page creation for conferences, technical assistance, data analysis, and program evaluations. The NLRC benefits CSUSM students and faculty specifically by providing internships, service learning opportunities, research training programs, and jobs. Students can either work as research and program assistants or propose their own research efforts supervised by NLRC staff. Both students and faculty can obtain referrals from the NLRC for assistance in conducting their own research. Faculty may obtain assistance in securing funding for their research if it has relevance to Latino populations, as well as head research projects for the NLRC. Soriano said that a CSUSM faculty member is currently heading a research effort on Hispanics and mental health. NLRC research activities span the country, with current projects in New Haven, Conn., Miami, Fla. and Washington DC with local projects that include program evaluations of communitybased agencies like the teenage pregnancy prevention program in Logan Heights. The NLRC is located offcampus at 1 Civic Center Drive, Suite 150, San Marcos. For further information, contact the NLRC at (760) 750-3500 or nlrc@csusm.edu.

McCain said on Thursday that he was "no longer an active candidate for [his] party's nomination for president," but he would not endorse Bush as the Republican party nominee. The campaign between Bush and McCain was often heated. McCain had called for a clean campaign after advertisements were run in New York that alleged McCain opposed funds for breast cancer research. McCain also wanted Bush to endorse campaign finance reform, but Bush would not. Gore wants to ban "soft money" from the campaign and has challenged Bush to do the same. Gore wants them both to refuse any "soft money" and commit to two debates a week. Bush has not accepted the challenge to refuse "soft money", and so both candidates continue to accept excess money.

Sarah Smith PRIDE STAFF WRITER Although the presidential primary was the main attraction, California's propositions generated most of the controversies after Tuesday's primary election. Of the propositions on the ballot, Prop 21, which strengthened California juvenile justice statutes, and Prop 22, which prohibits gay majriages in the state, were of particular concern on campus. Prop 21 was strongly opposed by the CSUSM MEChA chapter, while the gay and lesbian club, the Pride Alliance, opposed Prop 22 Ricardo Favela, Vice President of MEChA, stated, "The passage of 21 was expected." When asked why the group opposed a bill that stiffens penalties for juvenile offenders, Favela stated, "There is absolutely no justification to increase penalties for only black and brown youth, especially after the crime rate has dropped for the seventh year in a row." The other controversial proposition, Prop 22, was also passed by a large margin. Professor Don Barrett, who on Monday passed out flyers urging students to vote "No on Knight", was not surprised by Prop 22 passing. Barrett stated, "The election overall was depressing. The strong passage of 22 was depressing since it was a pointless measure." Although Professor Barrett was opposed to Prop 22, he stated, "Gay marriages may not be in our best interests, but we should have the rights and privileges of married couples." Mike Sanella of the CSUSM College Republicans was pleased Sarah Smith overall by the elections. He said that by passing Propositions 21 PRIDE STAFF WRITER and 22, it proves that "California Imagine voting in your is in a middle point that can go in ajamas a any direction."

Instead, Arizona Democrats could register to vote online early or at the polls on Election Day. Early voting started on March 7 at 12:01am and ended on March 10 at 11:59pm. Online voters must enter their personal identification number and a few questions to verify their identity before being able to vote. Once they enter the voting portion, they just point and click on the candidate's name they want to vote for, or "yes" or "no" on propositions. When they are done voting they can print out an election certificate to commemorate the historic moment of voting online. The Voting Integrity Project based in Virginia filed a lawsuit against Arizona's online voting. The suit cited that voting online would "harm voting rights of the poor and minorities who have less computer access than wealthier whites." A judge refused to stop the Arizona online portion of the primary, and the Project plans to challenge the results of the Arizona election. will also give Americans who are overseas, or simply out of town on Election Day, the opportunity to vote without having to request an absentee ballot.

Ken Nwadakie, a freshman political science major and member of the Cougar track and cross-country teams, chose to attend CSUSM because of the influence of another individual. When Ken Nwadakie called up his high school rival, Marcus Chandler to find out where he planned to continue his running, Nwadakie was surprised to hear Chandler's answer, "California State University, San Marcos." Initially Nwadakie was uninterested in attending such a new and small campus, like CSUSM. Instead he had gained interest in USC, UCLA and Azusa Pacific, campuses with distinguished track andfieldprograms. However Nwadakie considered that if Marcus Chandler, a California State High Eighteen-year-old Ken's road to CSUSM School Mile champion, was attending was long and tenuous.

Is it fake? Is it a sport? Is it entertainment?" These questions can be asked of Beyond the Mat (Lions Gate Films), a movie that capitalizes on professional wrestling's growing appeal. Yes, I said appeal. I'm almost ashamed to admit it, but I enjoyed the f ilm. No, I am not a fan of professional wrestling. In the opening sequence, the f ilm's writer, director, and narrator, Barry Blaustein (co-writer of The Nutty Professor and Coming to America), asks these four questions that drive the film through its 1-hour 43-minutes, ultimately a behind-the-scenes look into the personal and professional lives of several wrestlers. Shot over three years as a doc- % \)t $ r t b e umentary, Beyond the Mat reveals the wrestler's lives as defined by opposing forces. They are loving fathers and masochistic showmen; idolized role models and crack addicts; virile warriors and broken-down old men. scalp. Foley is shown the video of his children's cries, leading him t o speak of retirement. I am left with no question about the sincerity of the footage, the reactions of Foley's children, and the reactions of Foley himself. At a low point in the movie, one segment shows melodramatic, overacting promoter Roland Alexander guiding struggling wrestlerwannabes (Mike Modest and Tony Jones) towards the big time of the WWF (World Wrestling. Federation). Alexander's desire to see his face on screen obviously motivates him to sob crocodile tears into the camera, saying, "These guys deserve a chance." Beyond the Mat is an immensely entertaining documentary for its glimpses of reality. It actually exposes the looming doubt that hangs over many of the details that stem from professional wrestling's scripted antics. This f ilm also rewards those who don't wait for the video to come out. The movie-going audience's participation is almost guaranteed, as die-hard fans alternately "pop" (wrestling jargon for an audience's explosive reaction) and heckle at the screen whenever a particularly motivating monologue or stunt is performed. There are some slowmoving parts, like when Jake "The Snake" reunites with his daughter, but on a 5-point scale I rate it a solid 4. Fortunately, the f ilm explores more believable territory when it follows the lives of Mick Foley, a.k.a. "Mankind," a.k.a "Cactus Jack," and his family. The (arguably) most clever and heartwrenching footage comes just over an hour into the movie when scenes of Foley being pummeled by "The Rock" are mixed with Rated R for violence and scenes of Foley's wife (Collette), strong language. and two children (both under the age of 5) cringing, crying, and eventually fleeing the arena. Later, backstage footage shows a blooddrenched Mick Fole> trying to comfort his kids saying, "It's a little boo-boo. (pause) It's big boo-boo."

Drown Mona ing Sarah Smith PRIDE STAFF WRITER White trash, inane one-liners, and stupid people entwine the dull plot ofDrowning Mona. This movie is rated PG-13 for some bad language, a small amount of sex, and unbelievable violence^ The movie opens with the drowning of Mona (played by Bette Midler) and leaves the viewer with nothing to look forward to. The chase to find the murderer begins; and of course the plot isn't simple, otherwise the viewer would be lucky enough to have the movie end in 20 minutes. The tangled plot contains flashbacks, too many Yugos, and irritating sub plots, one that exposes the mental neurosis of Rona (played by Jamie Lee Curtis). Casey Affleck (Ben Affleck's little brother) is one of the main stars of the movie, and one of the more stupid characters. His annoying baby voice made me cringe throughout the entire movie, and when off-screen, I dreaded the moment right when he came back on. Casey Affleck has also played in 200 Cigarettes, Chasing Amy and Good Will Hunting, among others. He will also be seen in Committed, a film scheduled for release later this year. The large well-known cast is die only reason this movie has any potential for success. Danny DeVito and Neve Campbell join Curtis, Affleck and Midler in a troupe with bad southern accents. This is thefirstproduced screenplay that Peter L. Steinfeld has written and hopefully his last. Director Nick Gomez has produced three other movies, none of which were well known and probably for good reason. Hopefully this movie will drown out of my memory, but this is unlikely since myfianceeloved it and collected several "I love my Yugo" stickers after the show.

Prop 1 A: Damned if you do. Damned if you don't. It's none of California's business. Indian gaming is a complicated issue. It brings both prosperity and problems to Native American communities. Prop 1A has one fatalflawthough. Whether you think that Indian gaming is good or bad, whether you're a capitalistic extremist who believes that the poor and oppressed are that way because they are lazy or you're an ideological communist who wants fair distribution of capital, IT'S NONE OF CALIFORNIA'S BUSINESS. Dictating what Native Americans can do and what they must do on their own land (or at least the scraps of land the government has given back to them) is continuing the rape of the Native American people. Even if it is within the law, it is no excuse. Much ofthe mountain of injustices European Americans has dumped on Native Americans was done within the law. We have already slaughtered them, taken their homeland, destroyed much of their culture, and attempted to strip them of their dignity. The VERY least that the non-Native Americans can do is to respect the remaining Native Americans and their dignity by acknowledgeing their autonomy on their own land. A no vote on 1A would have hurt the Native Americans, but anyone who walked away from the ballot box after voting yes feeling that they had done a good deed are fooling themselves and were tricked into supporting the ongoing exploitation. Onefinalthought to my brother and sister European Americans: since the Native Americans are 'Native', that makes u s'Alien' Americans.

BE ALL YOII CAN B E vwww.goarmy.com �Dear Editors: I had to write regarding the recent remarks made by ASI Vice President Robert Radovich. I am really not sure where he gets off calling anyone ignorant with the ASI's BLATANT disregard for the governing rules. Last year, case in point, when I asked a member, "why did you give Christmas bonuses?" he replied that "it's a job, everyone gets a Christmas bonus." I am wondering in which fairy tale THAT exists! Let me point out a few things that may interest anyone who may care: -In the winter session, ASI fees are $45 or roughly 14% of the total fees for taking one class. -For Spring 2000, you paid $35 in "recreation fees"(I mean, aren't video games recreation, why is ASI paying for that??), $50 in ASI fees, and another $20 in student union fees...contrast that to local community colleges where paying for the "ASI savings" only costs you $10-20 (voluntarily) per semester and you get discounts on things you USE, like the BOOKSTORE (5-10% in fact). Student Representation at these colleges is $1 (Mesa) -How many people really benefit from free BBQ lunches?? Personally, I'd rather have some of my money back and go to the Dome as I don't eat hot dogs. -How many people would rather have a new video game over having some of these fees back? I don't have time to play games.. -I work so I can't take kickboxing or yoga or attend these concerts, other things I don't use... I don't want to criticize those students who serve on the ASI who really do care, but let's not lose sight of the fact WE ALL ARE FORCED to pay the fees while FEW reap the benefits.. Honestly, if you really want to make an impact, drop some of your fees and let people buy ASI stickers for discounts if they WANT them, then you'll be forced to work with a REAL budget rather than 1 million dollars to use as you see fit. "WE ARE SAVING YOU MONEY" is not what is happening for most students, it's "WE ARE TAKING YOUR MONEY AND BLOWING IT." - Stephanie Dexter A United Germany?

And since m arriage is only for b reeding, I guess that leaves out the whole idea that two people are u nited as one in the eyes of God, etc. The advertising campaign for Prop 22 set a new standard of contemptibility. To have a teacher say she wants to send a message to her students that m arriage is only between a man and woman is asinine. A teacher's r esponsibility is to teach acceptance and to celebrate d ifferences, not to segregate and dehumanize c ertain members of the population. If you were a student in that t eacher's class and she told you homosexuality is wrong and your mother or uncle was gay, how would you feel? If you voted yes on Proposition 22 you are not protecting the sacred i nstitution of m arriage. All you are proving is t hat you are a bigot. Jesus loves everyone.

By: Tim Farmer Pride Staff Writer - "I didn't know we had to pay for [the track]," said Martha Moore, a credential student here at CSUSM. Every student must pay a $35 Recreation Fee with their registration dues, but not too many people know what they are paying for. When students pick up an Explanation of Mandatory Fees sheet from the Cashier's office, they see the Recreation Fee broken into three different parts. The first part is the ASI Recreation Program, a $5 fee for expenses incurred by Associated Students, Inc. Second is the Recreation Fee Provision, a $12 fee for funds set aside to support one-third of the Financial Aid requirement. The third part is the Campus Recreation Program, which was implemented in spring 2001, an $18 fee to ensure that debt payments, such as construction costs, maintenance and any additional projects, are paid in a timely manner. When asked about the Recreation Fee Provision, Assistant Director of Financial Aid, Gerrie Hatten, said that the Financial Aid office now sees none of that fee, but in the past, one third of any new mandatory fee was put into a general financial aid pool. Dr. Francine Martinez, Vice President of Student Affairs, says that $30 of the Recreation Fee goes directly to paying off the track. When asked about the Explanation of Mandatory Fees sheet that was printed this semester, Martinez said, "There must have been a mistake because the one-third requirement was rescinded last spring." The track itself is a mystery to many students. "I didn't even know we could use it. I thought it was only for the track athletes," said Melanie Ostberg, a junior. CSUSM's%Mangrum Track is open to students Monday through Friday from 12pm to 1pm, and from 5pm to dusk, which is now around 5:30pm; and Saturdays from 7am to dusk. The track is open when it is not being used by athletes or for previously scheduled events. The track is also open to. the public. "I do feel a little slighted that the public has access to if as well. Why, then, are we paying for it but the public isn't? Anyway, if it's not something I need, then why am I paying for it? Also, I would like to know what I'm paying for," said Ostberg.

Why don't you just leave " said Santana High freshman David Toombs to a group of reporters outside of the Santee Teen Center. In the wake of the shooting at Santana High School last Monday, news reporters from all over the world have swarmed the Santana High School campus. Toombs' statement expressed not only his feelings, but also the feelings of a majority of the teenagers in Santee. . At the Teen Center many students come in and talk openly about their emotions. Students feel safe in the center because the people that work there have earned their trust and show their concern for each student's wel- Bryan Zuckor (left) and Randy Gordon (right) were the two students killed in last week's shdoting. Memorial services were heldfor both teenagers last weekend. (Courtesy Photo/SignonSandiego.com) fare. When the students talk to the Teen Center representatives about reporters, they usually say the same thing: they hate them. Most of the reports that are being broadcast are focusing on how the students are scared to go back and why such a frail kid would start a shooting spree. Many of the students say the media is overlooking a huge portion of the emotions felt by all that were affected. Many of these teens try to cope with the tragedy in different ways. Att the Teen Center, there is a book that students can write in so they can work out their emotions. In some poems that were written in the book, there was talk about not being able to find a girlfriend, or how they remember their grandfather's funeral, or how they always feel alone, or how they are angry about the incident. Dustin Hoft, a 17-year-old friend of one of the victims, had his picture taken without his permission, while he was mourning outside of the school on the day of the shooting. His picture was put in The New York Times and many other newspapers. Every day, a reporter comes to the Teen Center asking for »Article continues on pg. 3 In Light of Santana Shooting, San Marcos High "Hit-List" Surfaces By: Nathan Fields Pride Feature Editor Three days after the fatal shootings at Santana High School, San Marcos High School Principal Frans Weits released a statement that the school was "adopting a zero-tolerance policy regarding all inappropriate statements concerning weapons, threats to do bodily harm to any student including bullying any student, or causing disruption of any school activities." The statement continued that any student engaging in such behavior, or encouraging another student to do so, would be suspended, pending further investi- gation, with the possibility of transfer or expulsion. The statement was issued: more than a week after a San Marcos High teacher received a handwritten "hit list" written by a student on Wednesday, Feb. 28. A student who saw the list composed seized it from its author and handed it to the teacher during class. The list contained the names of some of the author's fellow students that he possibly would kill if he had the chance. Classmates described the student who created the list »Article continues on pg. 3 San Marcos High School students wait outside of the counseling office. Most students that spoke to reporters said they felt confident that nothing such as the Santana shootings would happen at their school, even after the hit list. (Pride Photo/Melanie Addington) Cesar Chavez Celebration Set By: Marlino Bitanga Pride Staff Writer Cesar Chavez and unidentified child. CSUSM will be holding a celebration beginning March 28, for the Cesar Chavez Holdiay. There,will be no school March 30, in celebration of the holiday. (Courtesy Photo/SFSU.edu) In a meeting Thursday, March 8, "more than words can say," a famous quote by Cesar Chavez, motivated students, faculty and community representatives to take a big step forward in planning for the Cesar Chavez Celebration, scheduled to kick off March 28, 2001. "Last year we decided to do a candlelight vigil to reflect what Chavez had meant to us. There was no planning or promotion," said Pedro Anaya Jr., Cesar Chavez Commemoration Committee Coordinator. "Next thing I knew, we had a turnout of about 20-3Qof our friends remembering how and what Chavez stood for. It was one of the most intimate experiences I've ever encountered. We decided that we needed to do this agaiti next year." Organizations such as MEChA, the Cesar Chavez Commemoration Committee, Community Housing of North County and the CSUSM Dean of Students office, as well as other volunteers, have planned an array of activities and exhibits, including a mariachi band, a film viewing and panel discussions. In addition, Assistant Dean of Students, Tim Bills, affirmed that efforts are being made to provide students and teachers with resources and lesson plans for teaching the life and work of Chavez. Bills added that a team of university students would present learning activities to K-12 students at local schools. "I want to challenge students and our staff so that by the end of the celebration we can ask ourselves, where do we go from here?" �Co-Editor |f|Mf €o~Editor Opinion Editor Feature Editor Copy Editor Graduate Intern Advisor Melanie Addington Victoria B.

Without putting much more thought into my feelings, since I was dripping my thoughts away, I proceeded through the California deluge (a light sprinkle) and on to my morning class. Once I was iri the building and comfortable, my mind again began to wander back to the past, looking for the origin of my rekindled feelings. They weren't awkward feelings. It just seemed as if something was different in my approach to my morning activities, like a subtle change over time had gone unnoticed. The lecture proceeded as normal and my thoughts returned to day's activities. The sun began to shine through the dark skies after class ended, and as I walked down the stairs toward the parking area, it hit me. I looked out upon a sea of students, and behold: all of them were jumping over small pools of water, avoiding what I had lived to find as a kid: the ever-elusive rain puddle. Laughing at the image before me, I turned in front of University Hall. The staff at CSUSM was one step ahead of me. They had set out cones, illuminating the perfect course, so I wouldn't miss one opportunity to puddle jump. I saw in that one instant the games of my youth come full circle, and turn what most would consider miserable weather into a day of f un. So for those of you who say CSUSM doesn't support enough sporting events, I introduce you to the new Intramural Puddle Jumping Competitions. As the rainy days persist, don't miss your opportunity to practice. In addition to the courses generously marked by bright orange cones, there are other obscure, more elusive spots. These areas support all skill levels, from beginner to the long-distance hurdler. People are always quick to judge sports and their athletic worth, but as kids it was always great when the water accumulated around the neighborhood and competition was stiff. So don't pass judgment on a sport that dates back hundreds of years, and, although obscured by new technologies (i.e. levels and drains), finds a renewed home here on campus. Although many of you may try to discredit the popularity of such a sport, look around and even at yourself. I see you all practicing, if not by a conscious effort, by an instinctual notion—that inner drive for sport! Don't be discouraged by the lack of sports on campus, because as CSUSM grows, so does the availability of sports activities. Look for next year's introduction of the Stair Climbing Olympics, and don't t ry . to deny that you're practicing. I see all of you, huffing and puffing, getting your time in on those stairs each day. And just think: if the heads at parking administration decide to build up rather than out, you'll be one step ahead and ready for the new and ever expanding structures at Cal State San Marcos. Deus Ex Machina: The God of the Machine By: Daniel Huey Pride Staff Writer Vending machines are convenient when they work, but can stress you out when they don't. As I stood in front of the vending machine near ACD 126, it grinned at me, daring me to try to buy a simple pack of chewing gum. I fished in my pocket and sorted through my change until I pulled out 60 cents. I pushed my change into the slot. The machine grinned at me and made clicking sounds while i t sucked down my mdney. I fiddled with the buttons on the front of it and made my selection. The vending machine hummed and spewed my pack of chewing gum onto the louvered panel. I thought it would drop through, but the gum just sat there, paid for but inaccessible. The louvered panel only swings one direction, so someone cannot reach in and steal any snacks. The weight of the gum was not sufficient to cause the panel to swing down. I wanted that gum, so I thought about how to get it. I figured if I bought some peanuts that the weight of the peanuts and the gum would be enough to flip the door down and I could get the gum. I counted out another 75 cents and fed it to the machine. Again the machine hummed and pushed my peanuts out, but they failed to, fall down onto tfys louvered door. I grimaced as I realized that I was out one.dollar and 35 cents and still did not have my gum or my peanuts.

It was my hope that as the cherry pie dropped toward the louvered door below that it would knock against the peanuts, causing them to fall. When the pie and the peanuts hit the louvered door, their combined weight would open the louvered door and I could get my gum. I made my selection and the pie fell. The peanuts stayed.

In a press conference on Thursday, Principal Waits said that, once apprehended the following day, the student was interviewed by the school's crisis counselor and by sheriff's deputies. Officials determined that the boy was not a threat to himself or others. Weits reported that the boy had been teased consistently at San Marcos High and prior to high school, and was asked to make the list by another , student whose name was in the list. The student was suspended for nearly a week after writing the list. High school officials then waited until Monday of the following week, to inform the parents of the children on the list. Some parents said they were not informed until Tuesday, almost a week after the list surfaced. Other parents said they were not notified by the school, and only learned their children were on the list when the children called them from school on Tuesday, prior to a mediation meeting for students on the hit list. Media and Santana >>Article contfrom pg. 1 him, looking for an interview and more pictures of him. Hoft continues to dodge the reporter because he knows that he'll be asked questions that bring up memories he is trying to move on from. "Not one reporter that I have heard interview students says, ' I feel sorry for what h appened to your friend,' or 'I feel f or you.' They don't care one damn bit about us," said Hoft. "If I ever catch that reporter when you guys [teen center s taff] aren't here, I'm going to beat his face in." Walking home f rom school on Thursday, 18-yearold senior Chris Sweda was asked questions by a reporter from a local paper. Bob Harman, the Director .of Pupil Personnel, advised that the list be taken seriously and said the school will alert parents immediately if such occurrences happen in the future. The high school is sending a letter concerning the incident and zero-tolerance policy home to all parents this week. "They should make it be an example that you do not joke about these things in the school," said parent Catherine Ingle. Ingle removed her child, who was on the list, from the school. Ingle and others urged school officials to penalize seriously the student who wrote the list in order to communicate a message of zero tolerance. Weits made it a point to emphasize that "this sort of behavior starts in the homes and we are communicating with parents to insure that they begin teaching their children respect in their homes. Certainly we have to teach respect at school, but it begins at home." San Marcos High School senior, Steve Lukich, said that by not punishing the student enough, high school administrators are almost letting this stuff happen. "It's pretty weird, with all of these 'shootings going on and stuff, that a kid who brings a fluorescent toy, a squirt-gun, to school, gets immediate suspension for several days, but someone who makes a hit list is treated like this." Sweda was saying how many students at Santana pick on him because of his weight, but said he would never think of shooting anyone. Another reporter nearby rushed over when he heard Sweda say "picked on" and "shooting," and asked Sweda, "Are you feeling angry? Are you going to try to finish what Andy started?" Sweda, angered by the news writer, punched him and broke his nose, and Sweda continued to walk home. He said he felt no remorse and that everybody praised him for doing so. Along Magnolia Avenue, the street that runs in front of Santana High, students gathered on the median with signs encouraging passersby to honk their horns; this was to disrupt the live interviews by the Asked if he thought something similar to Santana could occur at San Marcos, Lukich replied, "There's maybe a few potentials and it might, but I'm not stressed out about it. It's almost so common now, I mean, in New York, Pennsylvania,' Twenty-Nine Palms. And somebody brought a gun to school in Fallbrook. So it's happening, but I won't let it affect my life." Other students said they felt that the measures taken by school officials were reactionary. Dismissing the occurrence, Rachel Crouthammel, a senior at San Marcos High said, "They made something out of nothing." . San Marcos High School saw at least 17 suspensions last year because of physical fighting between students. Most of these occurred during a series of racially motivated fights on the campus last May that resulted in 13 suspensions in 10 days. The present hit list shows no relation to any previous instances of reported conflict. "We need to teach these students that there's room in this world for all of us," said Principal Weits. The hit list was composed i n a freshman geography class. reporters and make them leave. "People are trying to move on and these guys are causing a lot of pain to us," said Nick Lindner, a 16-year-old friend of Hoft and participant at the Teen Center. "I didn't really know the guys that were killed, but I'm trying to be here for Dustin and everybody else, but these reporters keep harassing them and making life miserable for t hem" "If one of these reporters would just ask how we are feeling or at least act like they care about us, then maybe we would be a little more cooperative," said Lindner. "The first thing you asked me today was how was I doing. The only difference [between you and them] is I know you care." Explanation of Recreation Fees »Article cont. from pg. 1 for the Health Services Fee. I only found that out because I had to get a vaccine shot and they did it there." "I love this school, and I know I'm supporting the future of this campus, but I feel that we have the right to* know what it is we are paying for," Moore said describing her feelings about having to pay the fee. At this time, there are no restrooms or locker facilities built at the track. As of July 2001, a $50 student fee will take effect that will help build the proposed student union/field house scheduled for completion in 2004.

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. BY PAMELA CASTILLO Pride Staff Writer professions where words like integrity, duty, honor and valor are a part of the job descriptioa It truly is a calling. 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.

Burning s age is a Luiseno tradition to protect the area and ward off evil spirits. Dixon also burned sage, a Luiseno tradition intended to protect the area and ward off evil spirits. 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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cassie Johnson, a shift leader at the campus Starbucks said, "we are currently waiting for approval from The Foundation before we will be able to answer these questions, sorry." Starbucks' corporate headquarters operates in Seattle, Washington. The company originally began i n 1971 as a coffee bean retailer. Starbucks' name originates from a character in the novel "Moby-Dick." Currently Starbucks has over 140,000 employees and grossed 6.4 billion dollars in 2005.

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. Apparently, he's one of those rare athletes who is still human. Comments can be sent to Sando026@csusm.edu.

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.

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?"

XV NO. 9 irs one fight' for CSII Faculty and Students Ulf BY RACHELL REYES Pride Staff Writer Facti! '/Staff Cal State San Marcos faculty, staff and students rallied for fair contracts and affordable education on Thursday, March 9, in front of the Kellogg Library. "We wanted to let President Haynes know that we think it's time for her to demand that the Trustees reinvest in the CSU," said Lance Newman, secretary of the CFA San Marcos. "We want them to reduce student-faculty ratios and approve fair contracts for the unions." The Unite to Win rally was co-sponsored by the California Faculty Association (CFA), the California State University Employees Union (CSUEU), and the Academic Professionals of California (APC), and according to Newman, the demonstration was well-supported, with over 250 people participating in the rally. According to the San Marcos Chapter of CFA, the faculty Miloraia Facalig f Photos by Rachell Reyes / The Pride and staff agreed to have a two not to ask the state for additional year pay freeze to help the state funding.

"This has been a long-standing dream of Cal State San Marcos," said President Karen Haynes. The Center for Children and Families was made possible through a grant awarded to Cal State San Marcos from the First Five Commission of San Diego in the summer of 2004, providing $7,681,356 in funds to build the 22,000 squarefoot facility. An additional contribution from the 2005 approved fee referendum has made this ASI dream into a reality. The ground-breaking ceremony began with a delightful twist of "Hi-Ho ... it's off to Cal State we go," cheered by the pre-kindergarten class from the Early Learning Center, operated and funded Poullard wishes campus 'farewell Photo by Christine Vaughan / The Pride by Associated Students, Inc. With the construction of the new facility, the ELC will relocate out of their current leased-space, making Cal State San Marcos their new permanent home. Licensed to accommodate and serve an expected 300 infants and pre-kindergarteners, including the 48 from the ELC, the new Center for Children and Families will utilize programs See CENTER, page 2 Cal State San Marcos prepares to bid farewell to Dean of Students, Jonathan Poullard. Poullard will go on to work at UC Berkeley at the conclusion of the Spring 2006 semester. "The community at Berkeley is one that I can benefit from both personally and careerwise," said Poullard in explaining why he decided ofi employment at the UC. For Poullard, the CSUSM community served as a place where he benefited from his commitment to keeping student interest and learning at the center of his agenda. However, Poullard describes his Sari Diego experience as one of struggle over trying to blend his personal life with the quality of his career. "UC Berkeley allows me to earn a Ph.D. while also working," said Poullard. Berkeley is also a community with a heavy sociopolitical atmosphere, an element found intriguing to the Dean of Students. San Diego lacks the diversity and opportunities for growth that Poullard seeks in each location he travels to. So, after nearly six years of experience, he will be saying good-bye to Cal State San Marcos. When asked about his most memorable experiences at CSUSM, Poullard chuckled upon recalling the events surrounding the Michael Moore issue during Fall 2004. "The experience sent positive chills up my spine. The students were active in making the school their own at that moment, and it reminded me of why I am an educator," said Poullard. During his experience here, Poullard feels he's benefited from working so closely with the student body in forming positive bonds to give rise to strong leadership. He also commented that campus organizations are See POULLARD, page 3 Lunafest Coffee hour LGBTA Letter to the Editor St. Patrick's Day edition See News See Features PAGE 4 See Sports PAGE 5 See A & E PAGE 8 PAGE 12 �Parking frustrations aim to be alleviated Editorial Staff Editor in Chief Patrick B.

Lot F will generate BY LISA LANDERS Pride Staff Writer $44 million, as opposed to applying for a grant that will cost $48 million. Another important question asked frequently of the Parking and Transportation Services Department is why not increase the faculty/staff parking fees as well, which currently costs only $14.00 a month, which in a semester is about $88.00 less than what students are currently paying now per semester. The answer, according to Director Dora R. Knoblock, is that some years ago parking became a bargaining issue between the Chancellors Office and the Union, and since the price increased in 1999 for faculty/staff from $12.00 per month to $14.00 per month, it has since remained the same. Finally, the common question asked of the Parking and Transportation Service is why are students who are here now having to pay for a structure that they are unlikely to use. Williams offered a conclusive answer. "Students seven years ago were paying to subsidize parking that you now use, and now you'll be paying for the future students," said Williams. It is a circle system that seems unfair atfirst,but at second glance makes sense. Both Knoblock and Williams agree that they are looking out for the greater campus community that is not just the present, but the future as well. 1,500 new spaces for students, according to Parking and Transportation Services. It will also include a drive-thru daily ticket machine, oversized vehicle and motorcycle accommodations, car pool parking, disabled access, and new pedestrian pathways which have never been implemented before. Lot F's construction is scheduled to begin this April and aims to be available for students for Fall 2006. The next big project, which is set to be completed in 2011, is CSUSM's first parking structure. This is where the ten-year plan comes into play. This new structure will be in the place where Lot N now resides, next to the University Village Apartments and Chavez Circle. The structure will contain an estimated 2,800 general parking spaces and it will be at least four stories tall. The project will cost roughly $48 million. According to Williams, the school generates approximately $3 million a year. Also, taking into consideration that the state does not assist in financing such projects, the money consequently must be raised through increased parking fees. With the student parking fees scheduled to rise steadily over the next few years, the hope is to build up a reserve of at least $4 million. According to Belinda Garcia, assistant director of Parking Services, the campus will have an easier time asking for a grant for CENTER, from page 1 A + S UBS P reschool s ubstitutes, a ids, a nd t eachers.

"It's about taking risks, it's about collaborations, and it's about moving forward together," said Peggy Kelly, the woman responsible for applying for the grant from the First Five Commission. "This center is a win for children, a win for students, and a win for the community. The Center for Children is one example of the best of what Cal State San Marcos has to offer."

Students and faculty are invited to attend this important event. "It is important for students and faculty to come. We have the opportunity to learn history from someone who was actually there. How many times in a lifetime do you get a chance like that?" said German Club president, Jean Scheuneman.

But negotiations have shown little progress over salaries. "A good education depends on good faculty," said Newman.

As a final word to CSUSM students, Jonathan Poullard left this lasting message: "Students, make this campus your own. Don't just make this a place where you go to school, but engage in the events of your university; do not just be a bystander." BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos reaches the halftime mark in the tenweek competition of RecycleMania, the annual EPA sponsored recycling and waste reduction contest. With 93 colleges and universities participating in the program, Cal State San Marcos continues to strive for the RecycleMania title. But at this midpoint, one neighboring San Diego county campus stands between Cal State San Marcos and another national recycling championship. Point Loma Nazarene University maintains a tiny, but stubborn half percent overall recycling rate lead over CSUSM in the Grand Champion division of the competition. The Grand Champion division measures the combined results of the Per Capita Classic and the Waste Minimization competitions, and demonstrates the greatest achievement in both source reduction and recycling. In the Per Capita Classic standings, CSUSM finds itself in second, trailing by six pounds of recyclables per person. In this competition, institutions are competing to collect the largest amount of recyclables per person. While Cal State San Marcos pushes to regain their title, the campus proudly maintains a strong and powerful lead in the special division of Targeted Material-Corrugated Cardboard competition, with 35 pounds per person, a strong comparison to second place campus, Kalamazoo College, far behind the Cougars with barely 15 pounds per person. This year, the competition has been especially intense with traditional powers such as Colorado State, Washington State, and Miami (Ohio) chasing close behind the Cougars. Cal State San Marcos's Green Team and Blue Crew need the campus's added support as they work to keep the championship in San Marcos. Together, CSUSM can make everything count. "This year, we need to do more. Everything that needs to be recycled needs to be recycled. From newspapers, to old classroom assignments, every piece makes a difference" - Carl Hanson, director of the Green Team at Cal State San Marcos. "We want students to know Union. Solidarity. Unity.

As the CSU faculty, staff, and students wait for the negotiations, Thursday's rally was one of many events to come. "The fight isn't over," added Newman. "Everyone should get involved."

"We are proposing the ASI Women's Center budget to the Associated Student Inc. Board of Directors in April which we hope will fund the bare necessities of the center," said Cheyenne Barr, director of Women's Issues. Hosted^ by ASI, University Student Union Advisory Board (USUAB), the Arts and Lectures Series, and Student Leadership and Life Multicultural Programs, the LUNAFEST Fifth-year Anniversary presented films from, by, and about women. CSUSM students paid an entrance donation of $15 while other attendants paid $25. Before the filming began, there was a wine and cheese reception. In addition, there was also an auction for more donations. All the money raised from this event goes directly to the funding of the ASI Women's Center. "Funds raised from outside ASI will supplement programs, services and resources, and build on a savings account for the future of the ASI Women's Center," said Barr. These funds will also bring Advocate Scholarships for CSUSM students, mentioned Barr. "The ASI Women's Center is a pull-together of many on campus and community resources and services as a sort of 'information hub' for services already available from programs all around campus," said Barr. The ASI Women's Center will be student run, will advocate for support and will expand services to students. Resources such as pamphlets and referrals will be available for as informational tools. The center will provide a network to various groups on and off campus. The center will also provide counseling and support groups. Students can also visit the center for menstruation and contraceptive supplies. "The ASI Women's Center is a safe space for women to come for information, resources, services, and programs that affect them," said Barr. "It is a hub of information and a place for all students to feel like they have a voice and a resource." ASI Women's Center will continue to host many other events that will help raise money for the new facility. Currently, the Stand Up for Women campaign is accepting donations. Anyone who donates $15 or more will have a plaque dedicated with their name. The deadline for donations, with a plaque, is March 24. The ASI Women's Center will be located in Commons 201A, around the corner from the other ASI offices. The ASI Women's Center grand opening is scheduled for April 4.

Held on March 8, and sponsored by Global Connections in support of Women's History Month, the event featured as guest lecturer Fulbright Scholar Dr. Shagufta Iqbal. Following a similar format to previous Coffee Hours, it was both social and educational, with attendants enjoying free coffee, lemonade and snacks. Local and international Students and staff also took the opportunity to get reacquainted and meet new people. Aside from the more tangible benefits, the lecture from Dr. Shagufta Iqbal also helped attract those in need of a coffee break. Dr. Iqbal is the principal of an all-female government degree college in Sibi, Pakistan. Visiting the United States on a Fulbright scholarship, Dr. Iqbal discussed her desire to apply U.S. teaching ¿mm methods to females in Pakistan. the Pakistani education system.

She says that the women feel more comfortable, both socially and academically, when learning with an all-female staff and student body. The body of her speech honed in on the types of reforms she hopes to implement in her home country of Pakistan, including a revamp of current curriculums and introducing a variety of new courses. There was also acknowledgement that teachers would need more education and training themselves. Of particular interest to testweary students in this country, Dr. Iqbal stressed the need for reforming the assessment/examination mold. She explained that in Pakistan, there is too much emphasis on a single test, that the norm of using a single examination to gauge students' knowledge. Current tests emphasize memorization and, in her opinion, are inadequate means of predicting students' potential success. During her speech, Dr. Iqbal also showed photographs of Pak- E g g D onors N eeded I mmediately Del Dios , j | JJ|||^ÉI)iiiing and B ar & |U-,:A Experience Grill H elp M ake D reams C ome T rue a nd E arn $ 5 y 000 a nd U p mmm i ML through Monday @ 11:30 am Closed Tuesdays 760-489-4800 w-ww.deMioscountnstore.com txtraordlnarywConceptlonsSténUt* s ¿Tttaatdinaty SpPiif- CÉtUtUt I P lease v isit o ur W e b s i t e at w ww.extraconceptfons.com o r c all t olMree at (800) 670-1837 f or m ore d etails istani schools and the devistation left after the October 2005 earthquake. Through these photos, it was clear that a lack of technology and facilities present huge obstacles to Pakistanis gaining an education. Often there is no plumbing, and children sit on the floor because they have no desks. Some classes are held without a physical classroom, resulting in teachers lecturing to their classes i nihe hot desert sun. "I was shocked at the condition of their schools and lack of financial aid," said Aya Okada, an international student who attended the International Coffee Hour. After hearing Dr. Iqbal's lecture, it was evident that the U.S. education system had made a good impression on her. She plans on applying many U.S. teaching techniques to schools in Pakistan, listing such methods as student-involved instruction, reduced test anxiety, research/ activity orientation, and needbased technical skills. "[There are] so many issues, I could talk for hours and hours," said Dr. Iqbal about the obvious factors that affect education reform. But she remains optimistic about Pakistan's future. $430 billion have been budgeted for the nextfifteenyears in a governmental program called "Education for All." While it is a vital cause, Dr. Iqbal said that "reaching this goal will depend on [Pakistani governmental] leadership." �Cougar Pride on the Prowl Photo by Chrisitine Vaughan / The Pride Energized with campus spirit, C RASH and Freshman Casey Evans enjoy the delicious taste of "Think Blue Week", sponsored by A SI. The week-long festivities aimed at uniting students and promoting Cougar pride, said Kellie Klopf, vice president of communications for A SI.

BY SUMMER CONNERY Pride Staff Writer Fill 'er up! inter to win $100 Gas Card from ASI BY KARIN REYES Pride Staff Writer SAN MARCOS 1 003 W. San Marcos A; Via Vfera Crtiraoms.ftmii the Resfofrant-- R w) 7 52-1826 visit our new website w ww.tanattheislandsxom Just by attending an ASI sponsored or co-sponsored events students have a chance to win a $100 Shell Gas Card. With the continuing rise of gas prices and tuition, Commuter Student Services developed the Gas Card Program. The Gas Card Program is a chance for students who attend ASI sponsored and co-sponsored events to enter in a monthly drawing to win a $100 gas card. "The goal was to provide a useful and needed service for the 90 some odd percent of students that commute from throughout the county to our campus," said Director of Commuter Student Services, Jeremy Mill. Some students may be unaware of the program or free gas incentive, but 'since the programs initial start in September of 2005, there have been nine winners from the Fall semester and five from Spring semester. When a student attends any ASI event, he or she is eligible to place one ticket into the drawing for each event that student attends within that month. The drawings are held on the last business day of each month with the winner being contacted with the information that was provided on the ticket. If for some reason the winner does not respond or pick up the card within one week from initial contact, another winner is chosen. A student has the possibility to win Food Mart Photo by Chrisitine Vaughan / The Pride every month if their name is drawn, however, there are some restrictions. A student cannot win more than one card per month, and students that work for ASI (Programming Board, Board of Directors, intramurals, or Recreation) are not eligible to enter the drawings. The gas cards are for Shell Gasoline and are accepted at all Shell Gas Stations. The nearest Shell Station is about 3 miles from the campus at the cross-section of San Marcos Blvd. and Grand next to In & Out. The gas card program will run until the end of the semester.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer The eager, the apprehensive, the lucky few who could find close seats, all spread into Com 206 last Tuesday at 8pm to attend the latest presentation of the Sextoys Workshop. As the presentation was readying to begin, student Christine Weir, a junior with a double major in social science and women's studies, learned about the event from other students passing out flyers in her class. When asked if she had any expectations, she replied that, "I've never been to a 'workshop' before, but I'm looking forward to seeing how this stuff works." Speaking with her further about whether this kind of event was good for the campus, she believes "it helps make the campus more progressive, and ease negative stereotypes about sex-toys." Amid the ample display of erotic tools and seasonings, the phallic and fakebreast-like balloons, students looked about for familiar faces and snacked on cookies served from a baking mold resembling male genitalia and drank soft drinks, but mostly hoarded energy drinks from an ice container that, sadly, only resembled a bucket. Sophomore and computer science major, Muenge Loundu, who had clearly never been exposed to anything related to sextoys, said he was expecting, if anything, "some instruction on how and why to use them." Even if a little apprehensive, he had no trouble saying: "I'd go even if the event wasn't on campus, I always like to learn about new things, and this is something I knew virtually nothing about." Mr. Loundu also felt that it was, "good to have it on campus, to make more people aware." Though last Spring's event was organized by the Women's Studies department, this year the task was in ASI's hands. The audience was thusly welcomed by organizer Cheyenne Barr, who took a moment to alert students to other events celebrating 'Her-story' month. Attendants were also encouraged to participate in raffles for both the workshop and the regular drawing open to all who attend an ASI event and are interested in winning such student-friendly prizes as 100$ of gasoline. Next to the stage was Dr. Ghiara, or as some affectionately call him, 'Dr. G." He began his lecture with a seemingly serious story about 'men in dark suits' coming to censor the presentation, primarily his slide show. It was then that he guided the laughing crowd through an Photos by Zachary J. Simon / The Pride Above: Dr. Ghiara explains the science of our systems. Right: Presenters Crystal and Honey help us to understand and enjoy. Bottom-right: Gentlemen, meet "Gigi." assortment of photos displaying cute kittens and proud roosters. (Those unaware of the slang-pun implied here are welcome to email the Pride for further explanation.) Once everyone settled, Dr. G then proceeded to explain in very simple terms the precise functions of the female and genitals and the human sexual response, emphasizing the relationship between mental and physical stimuli as well as the individual nature of our sexual selves. There is, to those concerned, much natural variation between one person and the next, specifically in what they find pleasurable. Dr. G also gave a brief explanation of the both enigmatic and, for some, irrelevant 'g-spot' as well as a history of Kegel exercises and how scientifically recommended they are. Following the lecture, a Q&A session rewarded those who paid close enough attention to both the subject matter and its significance. Naturally, some prizes drew more hands than others. Dr. G. also emphasized his desire to raise money for a cancer research fund, offering free professional and private sex consultation to those who donate to the cause. Those interested should contact consults@DrGonline.com The women of Passion Parties themselves kept things both fun and relaxed, offering free samples of pheromone oils and an all natural 'enhancement gel' promised to greatly increase sexual experience for half a day; half a dozen of each gender was quick to their feet to step into the nearby restroom. Some of these volunteers came back smiling, others smiling a lot. Naturally, the toys themselves _ _—.

Students opened their mouths wide, either stunned or mesmerized by the many feats of engineering and novelty ... though the room grew noticeably, if predictably, quiet at the introduction of the 'playful plug.' Calm, yet still attentive and eager to laugh, senior liberal studies major, Juana Molina, reflected a moment to compare this workshop to last Spring's event, held in the much larger Clark Field House. "These presenters had lower priced items, and a smaller audience made it seem more interactive." The unofficial Passion Parties motto of "a little Aribration never hurt anybody," was clearly convincing, as more than half the attendees stayed behind to either discuss the presentation or visit the Passion Parties ordering table, where they offered hand jobs. This reporter got one himself, amazed at how good it felt to have one of the presenters put on a plastic textured mitten and rub massage oil onto his hand. In addition to such demonstrations, they also offer the highest of confidentiality to those ordering their products. Catching up with Ms. Christine Weir again, it was clear that she'd been pleasantly surprised, particularly by "how much .health related information they provided ... it (the whole event) was great." John Hall, a sophomore majoring in Biology, and another who clearly never considered sex-toys a major factor in their lives, also spoke well of the event. "Initially, I just went along with my friends, but now I feel these things could help anybody. Speaking with Cheyenne about any resistance she received to putting on another workshop, she was happy to say that there were only a couple people "concerned that the event would promote immoral-intercourse, yet virtually all of these things could be used solo." She went on to remark that something like a sex-toys workshop on campus is "like the second course to sex education, and for some it's the first." Dr. Ghiara was also very adamant in his stance on issues surrounding the controversy. "Encouraging people to know more about themselves is not advocating hedonism." As to issues of hesitation or hostility towards supporting such an event, or of having to constantly defend its 'educational value,' he admitted that it was certainly something to consider, "but if this were a more residential college that wouldn't be as big an issue." He also brought to light a bit of American context with a slightly mortified laugh, pointing out that in many of the states that outright criminalize sex-toys, the open sale of automatic weapons is perfectly legal. Honey and Chrystal, of Passion Parties, are both CSUSM alumni and former ASI members. They've brought their passion to campus before, but only as vendors at last year's performance of The Vagina Monologues. Typically they're invited to private homes, but both agreed they 'd love to present at universities more often because, as Chrystal points out, "sex is everywhere, but sex education isn't." To anyone still uncomfortable with the idea of a sex-toys workshop on campus, Honey explains warmly how "continued conversation about sex and sexuality provides people more comfort with their bodies and their partner's body." Once more, Honey echoes the evening's clear stance that it's not merely 'permissible' to provide these kinds of venues; "It's important to equip students with the tools to make healthy decisions about their sex lives." �Jock Talk With Josh BY JOSH SANDOVAL Special to The Pride The u pcom- ing sports weekend for San Diego will be an alltime great. It will also be a great opportunity to show off San Diego to the world. i It's not often that playoff games take place in San Diego, because the Chargers and Padres play in their respective postseasons about once every decade. During this weekend, however, San Diego will have playoff fever. On Thursday March 16, the NCAA Men's basketball tournament will kick off with first round play at Cox Arena on the campus of San Diego State. The March Madness tourney is something that every sports fan needs to experience. I have not had the opportunity to attend an NCAA tourney game, and if I don't get a chance to go to the first round, then maybe I will get a shot at the second round which will be. played on March 18 at Cox Arena. The first round always sees plenty of upsets. One No. 12 seed seems to always beat a No. 5 seed on the first day, but don't get too upset-minded, though, because no 16 seed has ever beaten a No. 1 seed, so don't forget about that when filling out your brackets. If the NCAA tourney wasn't enough on Saturday, the World Baseball Classic Tournament semifinals will be held at Petco Park in downtown San Diego. I have tickets for both games which will take place at noon and 7 pm. Maybe I will be able to sneak in a second round game of the NCAA tourney in between the two baseball games. The San Diego sports weekend will officially end on Monday, March 20, when the WBC championship game takes place. On January 24, I predicted a Dominican Republic versus United States championship game. I stand by that prediction with a forewarning that Venezuela looks strong, so don't be surprised to see them take the Dominican's spot. San Diego athletes will also get the opportunity to shine. The SDSU Men's basketball team will be playing in the NCAA tournament and has an excellent chance at winning a game since they have two likely future NBA prospects in Brandon Heath and Marcus Slaughter. Mohamed Abukar gives SDSU a third scoring threat and any team that has three players who average 14 points or more per game definitely has a shot to shock some teams. In the other sport, Jake Peavy will have a spotlight on him if the United States WBC team makes it to the semifinals because Peavy is the probable starter. If Mexico makes it to the semifinals, then another Padres player, Vinny Castilla, will get some attention. The Mexican WBC team captain would be playing just 30-minutes from his home country, at his home ball park in front of the world.

Test Y ourself AN ARMY OF ONE' U .S.ARMY �Art can get under your skin BY PIYAMAS SABLAN Pride Writer Students across campus express their individuality through numerous mediums. Clothing, mode of transportation, hairstyles, and lingo give clues to their personality. Tattoos are no longer limited to certain stereotypes but are now used as a means of expression by a variety of people. People can't judge what "type" of person is prone to getting a tattoo because the range has expanded to the point of non-existence. Tattoos are no longer synonymous with drunken sailors or leather clad rebels without causes. Gone are the days of tattoos being only socially accepted on men. Currently, there are so many people that have tattoos that it's probably harder to find someone who doesn't have one. A lot of individuals get tattoos that are really personal and mean something to them. Some people even create their own tattoo designs because the design is unique and accurate to who they are and what they want to express about themselves. There are of course individuals who get tattoos for purely aesthetic reasons or because tattoos happen to be the "in" thing. They may choose a tattoo by its popularity and not necessarily its meaning. These people probably have tattoos of dolphins, flowers, butterflies, or tribal bands they picked off a wall or their tattoo artist's portfolio. They probably have belly ring or tongue piercing scars to remind them of the days when piercings were the in thing. Some of them will probably regret their tattoos and eventually end up having them removed. Where a tattoo is placed is almost as important as what kind of tattoo is chosen. A lot of people get tattoos in places that aren't visible when wearing a t-shirt and jeans or whatever attire they may be required to wear at work. A lot of females tend to get tattoos on their lower back so that it's visible when low pants or short tops are worn. Males seem to get tattoos wherever they deem aesthetically best. There is no norm to predict who around you may have a tattoo. The boisterous guy in class with piercings and a mohawk may be a virgin to the ink needle while the quiet introverted girl with glasses who sits at the front may have her whole back and arms covered with an ornate tattoo design. Hopefully, most people get tattoos to feed their individuality and not to feed pop culture's "what's hot today" top ten. Even if a tattoo is later removed, scarring is still visible and the experience of getting the tattoo lingers in the cranium so that the tattoo lasts basically forever. People should take heed when selecting a design and place for their tattoo. People should also shed the stereotypes they've been conditioned to accept for the tattooed and not judge someone superficially. In a world where things once considered extravagant are now mass produced, individuality is a hard path to walk and a harder path to create for oneself. Letter to the Editor In the Feb. 28th article, "LGBTA keeps a low profile on campus," we the members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender & Ally Student Organization want to thank Natasha Heckendorn for taking the time to learn about our group and for educating the CSUSM community. She is the first representative from the newspaper to acknowledge and give us exposure in Pride. As much as we are grateful for this exposure we want to respond to the statement of "low profile." Many student organizations on campus function remarkably well with "noticeably low" numbers. We are such an organization. We do want to address the comments concerning campus climate. We realize that there may be small numbers of reported hate crimes, but we want to offer a perspective on why the reports are low. We believe the incidents occur on a fairly regular basis, but because there is risk involved in reporting such incidents, people are less likely to come forward to report these incidents. According to the FBI (2000) the most frequently reported single hate crime offense was intimidation, which accounts for 34%. Hate crimes against LGBT individuals, like other crimes against oppressed groups, such as racial discrimination and sexual crimes, are personal and are more difficult to report to the authorities. Such reporting puts an individual in a position where they have to come out and could ultimately be subjected to added harassment. We suggest that reasons for the low number of reported hate crimes might be more complex and could be more of an indicator of the lack of safety for our members on campus. We as an organization realize that there is a need for educating our campus about LGBT and those issues that affect us. We would like our campus newspaper to continue to educate the community on LGBT matters and inform your readers about how they can act as our allies.

The potential ban is significant, but I reckon that most Americans would prefer to either praise or denounce abortion itself. So let's do that. I like to sum up the abortion issue in three basic notions: Notion #1: The abortionists (separate from the more numerous passive prochoicers) suppress their consciences in rejecting the embryo as human life, and distort concepts like "choice", in order to (a.) retain some power in a world that they believe hates women, and/or (b.) advance their work as diehard apologists for selfish and irresponsible behavior. Notion #2: The anti-abortionists (I'll admit, some of them are bigoted, militant, and overbearing) can see the forest and (like abolitionists before them) will be on the right side of history, because favoring the opportunity for life to proceed naturally over an unnatural convenience will always be more progressive. Notion #3: George W. Bush was right about one, and maybe only one, thing: In time, the abortionists will lose. Eventually the public will decide that this particular form of death/murder is unnecessary, and public policy will bless its desire. Many politicians on the left will be observed quietly celebrating without the monkeys on their backs. So that's my take on the abortion. I'm sure that you should agree; so go ahead. In other news, I met a nice girl last week and she wants to go out. I also met Alexis de Tocqueville and he wants me to believe that equality can be a threat to liberty. Tell me: Should I ditch equality, and deprive other females of an equal opportunity to be with me by pursuing this nice girl? Or should I bolster equality, apologize to this nice girl, and give myself back up to the female community? If I choose the latter (extreme equality) do I pose a threat to the liberty of so many others? Will the government come along someday and restrict folks from committing to one person? Will we be forced to share our love with others (I bet this doesn't sound too bad to some of you)? Oh, the life of a political theorist! John Locke, where are you when I need you the most brother? The lesson: Take an active interest in your studies, for you might just find yourself in a position to preserve or destroy liberty someday. I'm going out with the nice girl.

BY JENNY NGUYEN Pride Staff Writer "Free" is a word that is loved by all, but it is loved more so by college students. It seems that all college Students are broke, yet many are spending a lot of money for something that they can get for absolutely FREE! Students are always looking for some kind of f un and entertainment; what better way is there than to go to the movies! The Cougar Movies Series is in its second year and is offering free movies every Tuesday night, all semester long for students, staff, faculty, and guests. The movies are generally shown in the Clarke Field House/ University Student Union, with the exception of two movies that will be showing in Arts 240. "There are free movies on campus?!" said Business Administration major, Glenn Ramos. "I have no idea what's free on campus; I just assume they charge us for everything." Tim Bills, the Assistant Director at the Clarke Field House explains that the Cougar Movies Series is primarily sponsored by the University Student Union Advisory Board, Associated Students, Inc. and also by Student Life & Leadership. For movies that are shown on campus before their DVD release date, Cal State San Marcos pays $750 to the movie distribution company, Swank Motion Picture, Inc. for the rights to show the movie. For movies that have already been released on DVD, the cost is $415 to show it on campus. According to Mr. Bills, funds to pay for these movies come from student fees. When asked why these movies are shown just one night a week, and not throughout the week, Mr. Bills replied that the school has a contract with the distribution company that limits the showing of the movies to a one-time only. It would cost a lot more to show the same movie more than once. As to why the movies are shown on Tuesdays nights, Mr. Bills says that in the past, movies were shown on the weekends as non-alcoholic social programming. The number of attendees was low when movies were shown on campus during the weekends. This is why they are now on Tuesday nights. With an average of about 75 attendees, Mr. Bills hopes to attract more viewers. Glenn Ramos thinks that the student fees that are put towards Photo courtesy of Sony Pictures this program is money well spent, if there is a great number of people interested and attending "if I wasn't already busy on Tuesday nights, I would go," says Ramos. "But it is great for those that live on or around campus " Movies shown on campus were chosen at the beginning of the semester in the Student Organization Council meeting. Student members of the USUAB, ASI program board members, and representatives from the club organizations all had input into what movies they wanted to be shown. "We chose and voted for not only great blockbuster movies, Photo courtesy of Roadside Attractions but also for movies that corre- ness Model is from the holistic lated with what will be going on standpoint, encompassing physiaround campus," says^Bills.

Crew members are a part of Lighting Designer Professor Karen Filijan's Theatre Productions class. Professor Rodda, who is also the director of the play, chose to do A. R. Gurney's "The Dining Room" because it provides the opportunity for the performers to showcase something that is extremely difficult to do, and that is to play multiple characters. This is a very difficult task that requires extreme talent, according to Rodda. "The most I've ever played was three characters in a play, but never eight! This has been the most challenging aspect," said Wenk-Wolff.

How To... Celobrate St. Patrick's Day BY AMANDA KEELEY Pride Staff Writer St. Patrick's Day is Friday, the one day everyone is Irish and a great day to party.

Featuring soldiers who have served in the current conflict in Iraq as guest speakers, the forum was held in Academic Hall 102. This was the second of a series of talks on the Iraq issue that have been recently presented at CSUSM. After a brief introduction from Chris Mitchell, President of the History Club, the floor was turned over to Staff Sergeant Chris Kiefer, who was thefirstspeaker to present his story. Backed by power point presentations showing pictures and footage from Iraq, perspectives given at the forum came from ground forces, air and supply support forces, and even the view of those left behind at home. The range of views included those of different military service branches and gender, with the panel evenly split with two male and two female speakers. The majority of the forum offered personal stories of war and what life was like for soldiers in various theatresfightingover in Iraq. In specific details, the event managed to bring the conflict in Iraq down to a very human level detached from political views and heated debate as the speakers stood one by one and told their stories. Aside from the human aspects of the war and the intricacies of military life and sense of duty that the speakers talked about, the forum also revealed a basic uniform sentiment among those in military service.

The San Diego Union-Tribune recently profiled Cal State San Marcos President, Karen S. Haynesfirstyear. The article from March 13, 2005 stated, "When respondents (students) clamored for more campus life, she appointed the university's first athletic director and asked him to create more sports teams." This cooperation between the Administration and the Athletic Department outlines their desire for sports teams at Cal State San Marcos. The decision to go forward with sports teams brings many questions to the minds of students. The ultimate decision is left up to the student voters of Cal State San Marcos who will decide if the Athletics Fee Referendum is something they want to support. CSUSM does not qualify for membership the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) and participates in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). The NCAA has three Divisions with San Diego State at the top. NAIA is one level above community college leagues. Cal State San Marcos participates in NAIA Region II with the Independents.

TROOPS, from page 1 The dominant message expressed among panelists was one of armed services accomplishment in Iraq. "From my experience they want us there and are very grateful," said Sgt. Kiefer speaking about his dealings with the majority of the Iraqi populace. Perhaps the most unique and rarely heard perspective given at the forum was that of Morgan Copeland McCorkle whose husband is currently serving in Iraq. The life of an army wife, McCorkle noted, was to not only support the troops but also to support their families and spouses at home, both physically and emotionally. So far McCorkle's husband has been away on military duty for over two years of their seven year relationship. there to promote their trails system and organized hikes. Non-profit groups such as the American Cancer Society, Lupus Foundation, Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention, American Liver Foundation, Risk Management, and Student Health Services were also on hand educating students about the services that they offer. Other activities included a stress relief room with punching bags, a relaxation room and a tent building contest sponsored by Associated Students Inc. (ASI). Throughout the event raffle prizes donated by the various participants were handed out to the lucky winners. Devon Romero, Fitness Coordinator and an organizer of the event said she felt the Wellness Fair and Expo went "fabulous." "It was nice to see a lot of students come down, intermingle and learn from vendors," said After the forum ended the floor was briefly turned over to the audience to ask questions. Although there was an obvious difference in political viewpoints present in the room, Photo courtesy of Phi Alpha Theta (Left to Right) 1st Lt. Cathy Harrington, Captain James Mullin, Staff Sgt.

Romero. According to Romero approximately 600 students, faculty and staff attended the four hour event. Romero said that, "more people came out and there were more donations and vendors," this year. Romero largely attributed the increase in involvement to the fact that this year wellness activities are during the entire month of March, while last year there was only the Wellness Fair and Expo event. After the Wellness Fair and Expo there was a massage room set up from 2:15 to 5 p.m. in the Field House where free massages were given. The Academy of Professional Careers: School of Massages donated 4 massage chairs and 6 massage therapists for the event.

A round of applause followed the end of the forum as a number of students lined up to shake hands with the speakers. McCorkle said she felt the forum was well attended given the fact that it was slated during the same time as the sex toy workshop in Clarke Fieldhouse.

The NCAA has strict guidelines for qualifying for Division L "An average of 15,000 fans (that) show up to every game," is one of the guidelines for NCAA Division I said Kent Barrett, Associate Director for Public and Media Relations NCAA. The lowest level of the NCAA is Division III which offers no scholarships. The long term benefits ofjoining NCAA would include scholarships and money earned if Cal State San Marcos does well in sports competitions. Stephen Nichols, athletic director, claims on the athletic department's web site that sports team will "bring greater recognition to, and awareness of, our university. This will, in turn, make your degree more valuable." There are two dominant student views towards the proposed measure. One view holds that, the school should focus on the academic future of Cal State San Marcos and leave sports to San Diego State. The other view is the school could use sports teams to improve student life on campus. Next week students will vote on the proposed fee that will set aside money specifically for the Athletic Department. This decision will decide the fate of intercollegiate sports at Cal State San Marcos. According to a letter to The Pride, Nichols will not petition for money from the Instructionally Related Activities (IRA) next semester regardless if the proposed fee is passed or not. This means intercollegiate sports will end its funding from Cal State San Marcos if students vote against the fee increase, and the 80 students that participate in the non-spectator sports may have to deal with the reality of the end of intercollegiate sports at Cal State San Marcos. The Athletic Department ¡mum now receives funding from the IRA that ranges from $12,000 to $31,450 per semester. The IRA is funded by students every semester with a $5 fee and divided up to different organizations on campus. Cal State San Marcos does not allow any organization on campus to take more than one third of the entire amount. At other CSU schools, like San Diego State, the Athletic Department gets almost the entire sum of money. With their $28 IRA fee versus the Cal State San Marcos $5 fee, San Diego State has more money to divide up with fewer organizations requesting it. The CSUSM Athletic Department also receives money from the CSU General Fund in the amount of $200,000 a semester. This money will continue to be paid on top of the $296,000 expected if the fee proposal passes. Sobriety Checks in the CSUSMandaMrea team up Campus police .A.D.D. BY CHRIS KING Pride Staff Writer The CSUSM police and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (M.A.D.D.) have joined forces for this upcoming St. Patrick's Day in an effort to educate students on the dangers of underage drinking and driving under the influence (DUI). This week from March 15 - 17 campus police officers, administrators, and student volunteers will partake in thefirstpart of a two part DUI prevention program by distributing literature to those entering and exiting parking lots throughout campus. On the evening of St. Patrick's Day, March 17, four officers will patrol the campus specifically for drivers under the influence, as the second part of the DUI prevention program. fgUMJfltt 10% Student (Discount! Located in Ralphs Shopping Center across from CSUSM! 310 S.Twin Oaks Valley Rd, #105 San Marcos Ca 92078 The San Marcos Sheriffs department will also have DUI checkpoints setup in areas near the campus. "Over 17,970 people die and 252,000 people are injured nationwide as a result of an alcohol related traffic collisions," each year according to the most current statistics available from M.A.D.D. The prevention pamphlets to be passed out include M.A.D.D. safe party guides, a small fact book titled "What's your DUI IQ," a red ribbon to tie around a car antenna, and contact information for questions concerning underage drinking and DUIs. "It's important that we as a community address drunk driving because of how it can negatively affect people," said CSUSM Police Lt. Doug Miller. As a member of the Student Alcohol Advisory Committee - the committee responsible for this program - Lt. Miller said he is using his past experience working at San Diego State University, along with other ideas from officers in the department, to help educate our campus about the risks associated with alcohol. Lt. Dan Koeler worked with Miller to get M.A.D.D. involved with alcohol awareness and DUI prevention on campus. m/1 SI Elections How WUll Ybu Decidef OR Meet Your Candidates March 15 & 16 @ 1:00 pm On the Mezzanine Vote Online March 21-24 www.c8U8m.edu/vote Questions : Asielections@csusm.edu #m m i E ddie w ould go Associated Students, Ine.

Jamah Dacus, director of For Your Pleasure, Inc, presented a wide range of erotic lotions, potions and battery operated toys to over 160 students. Dacus said the keys to sexual satisfaction are sexual acceptance, effective communication and practicing safer sex. Dacus stressed, "Safer sex is not just about using condoms, but taking responsibility for our bodies and our partners'— this means getting tested for STD's and HIV/AIDS every year." A climax of giggles erupted when Dacus challenged the audience to "reclaim our asses from our buttphobic culture." Adding, "Anal sex - it's no longer a nasty or gay male activity." Dacus introduced the audience to the "prostrate massage" (the prostrate being located two inches inside the male anal cavity - toward the belly button, also doubles as a g-spot). Apparently, when massaged during foreplay can produce the equivalent of a woman's multiple orgasm. Dacus stressed thefiverules for anal sex (whether performed on a man or woman) are, "Lube, Lube, Lube, Lube and more Lubrication!" Adding later that waterbased lubrication should always be used in conjunction with condoms. After a brief demonstration, the audience was able to test, smell and taste each Photos by Elizabeth Baldwin / The Pride Above: Jamah Dacus, director of For Your Pleasure Parties, demonstrates the flexible bunny cockring with built in vibrating bullet.

Students attended the event for a variety of reasons.

Karina Prado, senior liberal studies/ sociology major, said, "I'm here because I'm taking a human reproduction class and I also missed it last year.

If you're interested in saving some serious gravy, the best advice would be to pick up a Sunday paper and discover what's nestled at the center. Major supermarket chains such as Vons and Albertson's double the value of almost all manufacture coupons. Combine those with Catalina coupons - coupons you receive after purchasing certain items - and you'll pay little to nothing for otherwise pricey items such as toilet paper or laundry detergent. The combination of coupons and weekly grocery ads are the dynamic duo for saving, however, it takes time and organization. Match coupons with weekly store advertised items; especially those that are buy one get one free. Occasionally really hot buys will be out of stock and when this happens it's time to capitalize. Request a rain check with the item's purchase limit - if any - and continue looking for coupons that match that item in the weeks to come. Be aware of brands with many similar items such as Tide. If Tide is promoting a new detergent with a coupon, be sure to buy the exact detergent on the coupon. Unless the coupon reads 'selected varieties', don't assume the coupon will cover the Tide you typically buy.

There are a number websites that provide services for as little as $5.00 a month. Be wise when choosing a website. Make sure the site provides a list of free item coupons as well as linking them with ads.

From time to time coupons won't double, checkers fail to scan them, or the item comes up at the wrong price. Give coupon shopping some deep thought.

B etween our own Jason Nichols (a/k/ a the O-man) and Athletics Director Steve Nichols (no relation that I know of) I had to take an entire page-full of barbs tearing me a new one... and without so much as a kiss! At least our readers know that Jason isn't actually in love with me. I was under the impression that The Pride being denied ballot access was news-worthy; my esteemed colleague and reader advocate disagrees. I can deal. The trouble is that Jason made it sound as if the whole purpose of the article was self-service, while I was doing my damnedest to keep my journalist's hat firmly in place and write from as neutral a position as possible. Feedback from others on campus has, thankfully, been more generous. As to having color, I thought it was unsubtly ironic, except that it came about because our outstanding business manager, Brian Reichert, sold a color ad. Nice coincidence, though. As to Steve's "rebuttal," all I can say is 'what were you thinking, dude?' You got your fee request on the ballot. Would it have killed you to simply write in support of The Pride and leave it at that? How nice that, as a faculty member (or are you staff?), you were able to do an end-run around the student fee process and start a dialog with all those bigwigs in the Chancellor's office. Do you sleep better at night knowing that—whether the students approve of your $40 fee or not-you have the Chancellor's blessing? Have you started counting your money yet?

Several new or increased fees have already passed during my six semesters here, and we all know that the "non-mandatory" parking permit fee and instructional fees have sky-rocketed. That said, I won't be voting in favor of athletics. On the other hand, I've pretty much read every issue of The Pride for the last six semesters, so I definitely would have voted in favor of a fee to help the paper reach self-sufficiency—that fee would have been an investment in developing a product, so to speak, which would have paid off later with good ad revenues, while developing student writing skills and attracting more talented students to our staff. Lucky for Steve and Karen, it seems the only students that vote on the referenda are those who have an interest in seeing them pass; I predict an easy victory for the athletics fee. As for The Pride, maybe we'll get some entrepreneurial business majors to darken our doorstep and help us become the selfsufficient entity we ought to be. God knows athletics won't ever pay its own way. •ft? fi%i M al Tanningior : %r I only level 1 bed Mysbctor al CUM ackages (gstudents andCtUMI {good forand staff) (good for CUM { (gsiood bPand lstall) ood for al saSl T students CSUSM S tf SsSf} tudentsr^rStSM fioodt S students ami ta ofer 4/15/Ö5 4/15/05 ofer (expires 4/15/05 !

Come on, guys! Isn't that like asking a senator whether he thinks his bill should pass or not? It almost pains me to have to do this, but I have to point out the little things as well. What do I classify as a "little thing?" Simple: something that, while not as important as the points above, should still be adhered to in the publishing of a newspaper. Firstly, for the love of God, know your MLA. Book titles are underlined, not "put in quotes." Any high school junior should know this, so seeing it in a college periodical is just unprofessional. Secondly, what business do hyphens have in quotes? Opening up to page eleven of this week's issue and seeing "'I thought it was inspiring' - student Kate Summers" staring up at me in boldface type makes me very sad. I came to this school full of high hopes, not expecting to look back on my days on my high school's newspaper with fond memories. Having two or three days to put a paper together is no excuse - that's life, baby. If the final product is going to be half-assed and full of mindless babble (who cares about Seinfeld anymore?), then make this a bi-weekly paper. If it means the articles will be of better quality, I'm all for it. If that's too much to ask, then you don't deserve the extra $2.50.1 don't dig the idea of paying just to see pictures of the ACD hall in color - 1 can see that free of charge every day. If the staff feels the need to add something to the paper, full color pictures should be the last thing on their minds. Please strive to make The Pride worthy of its name. The Mediocre or The Substandard just don't have the same ring.

The editors would like to take this opportunity to explain our processes and how we come up with our stories. We will also like to extend an invitation. Our paper's primary focus is the CSUSM community, the studentsfirstfollowed by faculty, staff and then the surrounding community. We could go out and seek storiesfromall around including neighboring cities, the county, the state, the country and the world; however, the problem when we reach out too far for those stories is trying to tie those stories back in with our campus. That is why we primarily will not go out and cover stories where the links to our campus are not obvious: there are news sources that cover those stories quite effectively. It is not a limitation of the abilities of the staff; rather, it is effective utilization of the little space we have to provide coverage of our university. That brings us to the invitation. Many believe they can do better than the current staff of The Pride. Prove it. Come work for The Pride, be an editor, a staff writer, a contributor, and be part of the solution.

BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Staff Writer Why did you go to college? What are you going to do afterwards? Those are questions most people don't ask themselves too often in the middle of a busy college semester, and depending upon the major the answers probably vary. Being a history major, the question always seems to arise of what I am going to do after college. The problem is that history is one of those subjects that people love to disregard as much ado about nothing. It happened to me just the other day, I was talking to a non-collegiate peer, and they asked what I was majoring in at college. When I said "history" the inevitable "oh, what are you going to do with a degree in that" came back at me. As the conversation continued they asked me if I was going to continue on after my BA, which I said I was, and they queried in what subject. "History" again, with its partner spilling from the mouth of the other as "oh, are you going to be a teacher." This is about the third time this year alone that I've had a conversation along these lines with someone outside of the college atmosphere, and it never fails that the person I'm having the conversation with makes assumptions about my future career or chosen major. And eventually I'll simply be reminded of how hard it is to get a job in my chosen field. It's the assumption that history is one of those road to nowhere subjects (at home with the arts, literature, and similar subjects) that's bothersome. The fact is I already know that it's difficult to get a job, even after a college education, and especially with roughly 70 percent of employers in the United States currently either decreasing or at least not increasing their hiring activities for the beginning of2005. But I'd like to think that maybe it's just as difficult to find a good job with any major, not just mine - although that's one of the assumptions I get all the time. The fact is that my history major could be used to get a job in historical research, as a curator, writing, a government job, a job in film, or even business and the list can go on with teaching just being one of many options. Of course, just because there is a range of jobs I could do in my major doesn't mean I'm any better off in the arena of finding one. People assume that a job will be more readily available to someone with a business major, for example, and maybe that's true to some degree, but job opportunities, and a greater ability to reap the financial benefits later on, are not all I went to college for. I went to college in large part because I wanted to become a more well rounded person, I wanted to learn, and I wanted to associate with similar individuals of like mind. This is the factor people tend to forget when I tell them about my major or how that might lead to a job later on. Maybe it's just me, but college would be important even if I never succeeded in making a cent from it. HEX COUGARS! Watch for t he GECKO this semester.

Last Saturday my boyfriend and I had the misfortune of dining at Johnny Carino's, the new Italian restaurant on San Marcos Boulevard. Upon exiting the car, we smelled the enticing aromas of garlic, basil, and scrumptious Italian cooking.

After a quick ten minutes we were seated at a quaint little booth and promptly delivered drinks and a loaf of bread in a white paper bag. The guilt of the no-carbcraze steered me clear of the bread but my boyfriend reported that it was tasty, and he dipped it into an olive-oil and garlic sauce concocted by the waitress at the table.

The salad was drenched in a salty, overpowering dressing (supposed to be on the side), and the flavors sharply contrasted with the sweet pecans atop thefish.The salmon was dry,fishy-tasting,and downright unappealing, but my meal didn't even compare to my boyfriend's. His steak tasted like it had been swimming in a vat of butter for at least two weeks. The vegetables and potatoes looked old and tired. In general, his meal was comparable to something that would be served to your Aunt Millie in her convalescent home. Overall, we give Johnny Carino's a less than excellent report, unless of course cafeteria and airplane food are your thing, in which case you'll love this misguided chain, posing as a quality Italian eatery...

Before you let the name "Shakespeare" keep you from reading further, be assured that the difficulty of his language need not keep you or the unwashed masses from enjoying this show. (And if you're already a Shakespeare fan, please feel free to jump ahead to the next paragraph.) It may surprise you to learn that you already know 99 percent of the words used in the play (though there are always a few that require footnotes.) The thing with Shakespeare is how his words are put together: musically if you're a learned fan, archaically if you're not. That in mind, go to the show with the idea that it's in a "foreign" language, and look to the actors, the staging, the props, the music, and, every so often, the actual words, to follow the story. On to the review: The Poor Players—arguably San Diego's best Shakespearean acting company—have done it again with their lively and relevant production of "Antony & Cleopatra"-a play about sex, love and war that opens with a stage full of writhing bodies and ends with a stage full of dead ones. Director Nick Kennedy has used Jim Morrison as his inspiration for Antony (Richard BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer Robots, they aren't just for nerds anymore. With the release df the new 20 Century Fox movie "Robots" there is finally proof that an animated movie can actually make an adult laugh. This techno-filled extravaganza moves you to the point of pure adulation as you root for the underdog in this extremely colorful CGI world. Rodney Copperbottom (Ewan McGregor) is dreaming pretty big for a smalltown robot, and once he makes his way into the big city to find Big Weld (Mel Brooks), all hell breaks loose. When in town he runs th ÄNTONY& CLEOPAT Image courtesy of Poor Players Baird), alluding to similarities between Shakespeare's bacchanalian Antony and the Lizard King through costume and music choices. Baird embodies Antony's pomposity and lust, which are tempered by the fact that he is pussywhipped by the charismatic, and equally, if not exceedingly, lusty Cleopatra (Amy Meyer). These larger-than-life characters also make "Antony & Cleopatra" Shakespeare's funniest tragedy, providing plenty of opportunities to laugh before the bloodshed. Cleopatra is the central figure in the tragic love triangle with Antony and Caesar (Nick Kennedy). Meyer was brilliant as the somewhat labile Queen of Egypt, with extra kudos to the costume department for their embellishment of her highness. Kennedy's usually evenhanded delivery played perfectly in his role as the great Octavius Caesar-the embodiment of Roman discipline, and a character so opposed to Antony and his Egyptian licentiousness that their faces could serve as models for a pair of comedy/drama masks. While every player in this company is worth seeing, two particularly excellent performances were given by Mac Macke as Enobarbus and Edwin Eigner as Lepidus. "Antony & Cleopatra" runs through April 10 at the Academy of Performing Arts on Alvarado Canyon Road in San Diego.

Throughout the movie Fender's comments, and actions, will leave you with a little smirk on your face - the kind of smirk robot humor brings to the table. While there are a number of other in-your-face-funny robots in the movie, it's Fender (Robin Williams mind you) whose improv makes the movie come alive, while Rodney's quest keeps you in the story. The little parts within the movie - like clever wordplay, and the contrast of subtle and startling on screen action - account for a lot of the Images courtesy of 20th Century Fox movie's laughs. The movie sprints from the opening scene and never stops; characters are always in motion and interacting in a way that is entertaining for everyone. Don't be fooled by the PG rating: "Robots" has some great suggestive humor that might fly over the heads The Rock "Be Cool" the others be lukewarm BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer Sequels are usually not as good as the original. This isn't engraved in stone but just a guideline. Don't expect too much is basically it. "Be Cool" is the sequel to 1995's "Get Shorty," where Chili Palmer (John Travolta), a movie loving shylock becomes a movie producer. Now, in "Be Cool," Palmer is upset with the movie industry and turns to the music industry. But not expecting much isn't the same as a movie built on other movies. "Be Cool" has one obvious reference to other movies after another. It was as if the writer, Peter Steinfeld, made a list of references to other movies and then built the plot around it. Are the references really more important than the plot? Here's an example: we all remember the dance contest sequence with Travolta and Thurman in "Pulp Fiction," where Travolta danced for his job and Thurman danced simply to win. So it's logical to incorporate a dance sequence in "Be Cool" and they do. But after that, the sequence goes nowhere and does nothing. On with the plot: Tommy Athens (James Woods), a friend of Chili's, gets murdered by the Russian mob. Chili finishes his Athens' job of producing a young and innocent singer named Linda Moon (Christina Milian). But Moon already has a manager Raji (Vince Vaughn) with his bodyguard Elliot Wilhelm (The Rock), who works for Nick Carr (Harvey Keitel), owner of a record label. Turns out Athens has a debt with another music label owner, Sin LaSalle (Cedric the Entertainer). With Athens' wife Edie (Uma Thurman), Chili has to promote and produce Moon's debut album while watching his back. There are numerous cameos by Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Seth Green, etc. The Rock has the only performance worth the screen time. We're used to seeing him as a tough guy onscreen and as a wrestler. But here, he's a tough guy of little ones, but is easily picked up by anyone thirteen and older. Next time school leaves you feeling worked overtoday, maybe?~head over to the multi-plex, grab some popcorn, and let "Robots" make it all better... for 90 minutes anyway. Image courtesy of MGM/UA Entertainment trying to be tough but in the end, he's sensitive and doesn't realize he's gay. I was disenchanted with yet another reference not to another movie but to his character in the wrestling world. The reference was "The People's Eyebrow" where he lifts up his eyebrow into an arch. Sadly, "Be Cool" isn't a film. It's more of a parody, an illusion, a commercial. Everyone involved should take their gold chains, their black suits, their hummers, their guns, their one liners and reflect the movie they made. It might have seemed funny and poetic on paper but onscreen it's totally different. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In previous years, ASI organized the Spring Fling dance. "Spring Fling began in the Spring of 2006. It was started to be a big spring event that would be similar to the fall's Masquerade Ball," Sara Gallegos, Director of Campus Activities and Marketing said. This year, CAB and ASI wanted to try to put on a new exciting event. "We've been talking for years about holding a concert, a large concert ... in the place of the actual Spring Fling dance. We were going to hold a concert on campus," Gallegos continued. However, somewhere along the way, planning came to a halt forcing CAB to think of another way to bring students fun activities for the semester. Students may wonder why CAB did not bring back the Spring Fling dance, but there was no possible way to organize the dance because of timing. "By the time we were informed [of the roadblocks] it was after finals week...To turn around and try to book a place ... promotion and everything... we couldn't turn around and do it," Gallegos explained. As a result, ASI and CAB decided to put the budget toward events and collaborate with other campus organizations. Essentially, students still get their money's worth with the events ASI and CAB provide to the campus. "Everything that comes into CAB and ASI... goes back to students," Gallegos finished. Therefore, students, though it is disappointing to hear of the concert cancellation, CAB is still planning a lot of fun events for us, so attend them, earn back some of the money your .tuition paid for and possibly win some free concert tickets.

MIDDLE EASTERN PROTESTS A WARENESS S PREADS ON C AMPUS P OLITICAL S CIENCE C LUB H OSTS FORUM O N M IDDLE E AST P ROTESTS MELANIE SLOCUM PRIDE STAFF W RITER On Tuesday, March 8, the Political Science Club at Cal State San Marcos hosted the event "Protests and Political Change," which featured Political Science professors Dr. Cyrus Masroori and Dr. Scott Greenwood discussing current protests in the Middle East. The event took place during U-Hour on Tuesday, and students poured in to listen to the words of expert professors. An estimate of 75 attendees crammed themselves into a University Hall classroom. Political Science Club President Brittany Varga discussed the event as having "perfect timing because so much is happening right now in the Middle East [and] it is important people understand what is going on." She continued, "not only is it important to know what's going on, but it's imperative to understand why it's happening there." Dr. Greenwood and Dr. Masroori aimed to provide such understanding with their presentations. Dr. Greenwood began the event with his presentation titled "Lessons from Tunisia, Egypt and Libya," which juxtaposed the democratic success in Tunisia and Egypt against the tragedy of events in Libya. Dr. Greenwood carefully tailored his presentation to a level that was relatable to CSUSM students by discussing the significant role played by new media such as Facebook Adviser Joan Anderson All opinions and letters to the editor, published in The Pride, respresent the opinions of the author, and do not necessarily represent the views of The Pride, or of California State University: San Marcos.

ASI raffles a pair of tickets each to events such as a Lady Gaga concert, Stagecoach and Coachella, to name a few, when students go to CAB events. "Each CAB event any student comes to can get an opportunity drawing ticket each time and put it in the event box they choose, so the more events you come to the more chances you have to win," Gallegos said. ASI reallocated its budget to "beef up" it's currently planned events. Since ASI cancelled the big budget event, the organization gained the opportunity to put more money into U-Hour and campus recreation Ä s ^ Dr. Greenwood heads the debate. // Photo courtesy of Melanie Slocum and Twitter, the globalized economy, the military and more. Dr. Greenwood's enthusiasm and empathy stemmed from his travels in these countries, which he also discussed. Greenwood often chanted "We can do this!" as a way to explain the attitudes of the demonstrators in Egypt and Libya while concurrently contrasting it to the lack of success in Libya. Following Dr. Greenwood's presentation, Dr. Masroori discussed the protests in Iran in his presentation titled "Iran, Searching for a Promise." Dr. Masroori exposed the longevity of Iran's 21-month-long protests and attributed it to three factors: the state, the opposition and the international dynamic. Masroori worked to clear Western media biases by providing a theoretical basis that aided in ex- plaining the reasoning behind and effects of the Iranian demonstrations. Whether students showed up for extra credit, free pizza or sheer interest in the subject, there is no doubt that the audience was large. Political Science Club Treasurer Gabriella Pruitt, surprised by the turnout, commented: "Although this subject is very important to me, our campus is still very lackluster in terms of student life [for a variety of reasons]. I guess we should have reserved a larger room!" Awareness gf political and humanitarian issues is proving itself especially essential these days, and as reflected by the large student turnout, the CSUSM community realizes this.

On Thursday March 17 from noon to 1 p.m. in the Career Center (Craven 1400), students who have previously been a part of this program will discuss and show videos explaining different jobs and internship opportunities through the Disney college program. The program, which celebrates its 30th year, allows students to earn college credit by working, living and taking a selection of classes at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim or at the Disneyworld Resort in Florida. Participants in the program will have the opportunity to meet people from all across the country, establish transferable skills and explore multiple opportunities at the Disney resorts. The program allows students to work and learn at the same time in a very unique setting. The program's sessions run only in fall and spring and do not offer a summer session. Because of the nature of the Disney program being very hands on, housing opportunities are available for both theme parks. Depending on which program a student may choose, it could last four to six months. There are a wide variety of jobs to choose from through the Disney College Program such as attractions, Bell Services at the theme parks hotels, hostess, character, concierge, costuming, custodial, food and beverage, hospitality, housekeeping, lifeguard and merchandise. The Disney College Program also allows students to continue their work at Disney with professional internships. More information can be found at wdwcollegeprogram.com.

When two percent of all marriages in the United States come from eHarmony alone, it may be time to face the fact that Internet dating sites have replaced bars, clubs and classrooms as the main places to meet your mate. College students are a busy group, balancing school and often a job. Online dating may be a viable option if you find yourself in need of romance. Although the same social protocols apply to fostering an online attraction, dating on the web can be tricky. Mastering non-verbal communication skills in addition to absent body language can take months. Before you spend hundreds of dollars on dead-end dates, take the time to read these tips that will help the virtual Casanova make the jump from online zero to romantic hero. 1. Joining a Site Do: Join a few different sites at first. Dating sites range from very general to niche sites that are designed for a group like single parents or Christians. Be sure to join at least one of each in order to objectively establish your comfort zone. After a little time, you will know which site(s) work best for you. Don't: Pay for a membership until you have received a decent response rate. Most sites offer a free sign-up but won't allow email or chat communication with other members until a fee is paid. You might pay for a site only to realize later that its interface is not user-friendly or that there are simply no members in your area. 2. Creating a profile Do: Post at least 150 words. Be sure to accurately explicate your personality and interests. Use humor and wit to entice a possible mate and leave out the sob story about your ex. If you like model airplanes and Foghat then find a clever way to say so. Also, post a minimum-of three pictures that illustrate your best look, your group of friends and you doing something you love (hiking, fish- Photo courtesy of informationtechnologyschoolsx)rg ing,snowboarding,etc).

Don't go to dinner or a movie, don't buy roses or coffee or anything for the other person, don't stay longer than 90 minutes, don't overcompliment and definitely don't shake hands. Shaking hands is something friends do and if you're looking to meet "friends" on the Internet, you're wasting your time. Keep in mind that your goal here is to establish attraction and set a real date. Stay fresh, stay cool and don't stay long. Remain somewhat of a mystery—you can always send an email to your mate acknowledging that you had a great time. With these tips in your online dating arsenal, you may have a better chance at finding love— snagging dates like flies in the interwebs. Happy hunting! vvu �TAKE CARE OVER THERE TRAVEL TIPS FOR SPRING BREAK SAFETY J ENNA JAUREGUI FEATURES E DITOR The sober headlines announcing the death of Austin Bice, the SDSU International Business student who was studying abroad in Spain before he went missing in February, emblazoned the reality of travel dangers in stark black and white print. As CSUSM, students will soon leave behind the stress and anxiety of midterm exams and jet away for spring break adventures. Before packing your suitcase, refresh yourself with these travel guidelines that will help ensure a safe return home. Before you pick a destination, check government travel websites to make sure there are no travel alerts or warnings for that area. Unstable government, war, terrorism, natural disasters and disease are all factors that may render a country or state unsafe for tourism. The CSUSM global educa- tion website contains links to these resources and more at csusm. e du/global/travelresources. When deciding what to bring on your trip, keep in mind that you don't want to make yourself a theft target. The website travel.safe.gov advises travelers to "carry the minimum number of valuables, and plan places to conceal them. Your passport, cash and credit cards are most secure when locked in a hotel safe. When you have to carry them on your person, you may wish to put them each in a different place rather than all in one wallet or pouch. Avoid handbags, fanny packs and outside pockets that are easy targets for thieves. Inside pockets and a sturdy shoulder bag with the strap worn across your chest are somewhat safer. One of the safest places to carry valuables is in a pouch or money belt worn under your clothing." Additionally, students should educate themselves about the laws of the state or country before beginning a trip. According to information on studentsabroad. state.gov, "Your U.S. citizenship does not make you exempt from full ^prosecution under another country's criminal justice system, and the U.S. government cannot bail you out. Many countries impose harsh penalties for violations that would be considered minor in the United States, and unlike in the U.S., you may be considered guilty until proven innocent. Ignorance of the law is no excuse, so be informed." Also be sure to secure proper documentation and any vaccinations needed to enter the country. Once you arrive, exercise street smarts. You may be there to enjoy the nightlife, beaches and throngs of fun loving "spring breakers," but enter the scene with a level head. Studentsabroad.state.gov says to avoid underage and excessive alcohol consumption, avoid drugs and drug use, use only li- Photo courtesy of blogstatravel.com censed and regulated transportation, avoid carrying weapons, and be conscientious. Take precautions—don't gamble with your safety. Make sure that you don't go off alone and that someone you trust always knows were you are. Doing so may save your life. These guidelines may help students to make wise choices and have fun while traveling, but their execution depends on you. Educate, control, and enjoy yourself this spring break—globetrotting can lead to amazing experiences if done the right way. A S K THÉ C O W : PATINA AN?

From suffrage and birth control to political offices and space shuttle missions, the 20th century saw a surge of change as women broke free from oppression and challenged tradition, leading generations into a fight for gender equality. The United States recognizes March as Women's History Month, honoring the diversity and achievements of the many daughters, sisters, and mothers who have left their marks on the global timeline. Tuesday, March 8 was the centennial celebration of International Women's Day, a day to reflect on the struggles and victories of remarkable women throughout history.

Playing their first games on day two of the tournament, the Cougars shut out Emerson College 17-0 and the University of British Columbia 9-0. On Saturday, CSUSM again victimized Emerson College 8-0 and followed that with an identical 8-0 final against Hope International. On Sunday, the Cougars slipped by UBC 2-1 and swept the tournament with a 4-0 victory over #13 Dickenson State. To go with the aggregate 48-1 score, the Cougars also received a perfect game and a no-hitter from Brenna Sandberg on Friday, and a two-hitter by Brittany Boone followed by a 13-strikeout performance from Sandberg on day two, and a 17-strikeout performance by Sandberg on Sunday against Dickenson. Sandberg moves to 21-4 on the year. Forty years ago, athletic programs at CSUSM might have consisted of 15 men's teams and no women's teams. In 1972, a federal law changed that possible ratio, creating new opportunities for women in sports. Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments prohibits sex discrimination in educational programs in institutions that receive federal funds. That includes all grade levels through college and all programs including sports. Concerns regarding fairness and the resulting legal challenges created additional components to the original law. Jennifer Milo, Associate Director of Athletics and Senior Women's Administrator at CSUSM, said Tide IX "has boosted the opportunities for girls and women in sports tremendously." Milo stated there are currently over 300,000 women playing intercollegiate sports nationwide. The purpose of Title IX is to provide equal opportunity in educational institutions. A common presumption is that in order to have equality between the sexes, there should be an even 50/50 split. However, at many colleges, women outnumber men. According to Milo, CSUSM's student population consists of 60 percent women and 40 percent men. Compliance with Title IX requirements for equal opportunity must be "proportional," Milo said, by considering campus population and other demographic factors. Valerie McMurtrie Bonnette explains Title IX clearly in her comprehensive manual, Title IX and Intercollegiate Athletics: How It All Works - In Plain English. Bonnette previously worked for The Office for MEN'S LACROSSE TO HOST FIRST GAME CSUSM's newest club team, men's lacrosse, will host its first home game Saturday March 19 at 2 p.m. While the club has already played several games,5 fans have three chances to see the team play on campus. After this week's match against Occidental College, fans can watch games against CSU Long Beach on April 9 at 3 p.m. and versus Concordia University on April 27 at 6 p.m. CSUSM lost their last game in a nail-biter at CSU Channel Islands, 14-13. . CSUSM 6, La Sierra 1 Omahen: 9 strikeouts. explained that if there are 300 athletes, 60 percent must be women and 40 percent must be men in order to comply with Title IX. Similarly, CSUSM must provide an equal opportunity when disbursing athletic scholarships, reflecting the female/male ratio proportionally, and the same is true for providing benefits and opportunities. Title IX does not require institutions to offer athletics programs , nor does it require offering a specific number of teams. It also does not require the same number of teams for men and women. "For men or women, what sports [can] do as far as teaching life lessons is important," Milo said, adding that providing equal access to sports is just "the right thing to do." ft La Costa 7670B CaminoReal 760-943-8182 San Marcos Broken I V olk e, 101S.

Two important additions to Title IX are the 1979 Intercollegiate Athletics Policy Interpretation and the 1996 "Three-Part Test," which according to Bonnette's manual are the major sources used for specific requirements for athletics programs and interpretation of Title IX regulations. Her manual also describes the 1979 policy as consisting of 13 components separated into three categories of compliance requirements, or the "Three-Part Test." The three parts are accommodation of interests and abilities,financialassistance, and benefits and opportunities. Milo emphasized that for each of the three parts, proportionality is key, because Title IX requires that institutions provide equal treatment of participants in overall women's and overall men's programs.

I like the pressure." Campfield really likes the cama- raderie and I-have-your-back attitude that comes from practicing with the team. "It's easy to let yourself down, but it's hard to let your team down," he said, when asked about the team aspect. Campfield tends to feed off the pressure that he places upon himself. This last week at Nationals, he placed an impressive second in the mile and third in the half mile. In the last 200 meters of the mile race, Campfield propelled himself from 9th to 2nd. "That's my favorite part of the race, the finish. It's what I run the whole race for," he said. Now that Nationals has ended the indoor track season, he looks forward to the outdoor season because more of his teammates compete. . His goals for this outdoor season are to break four minutes in the mile and figure out a way to beat his nemesis, Silas Kisorio of Oklahoma Christian, who has beaten Campfield twice by less than a second. He plans to prepare for the outdoor season by putting in lots of miles and doing intensive interval workouts that really push his limits. Mentally he likes to relax and not concentrate too much on the races. He notices now after getting back into running how much it contributes to other aspects of his life. He feels that running keeps him more motivated, lively and focused. He is even considering continuing to run after college. He plans to compete with professionals at the USA Nationals and has the goal of possibly doing the Olympic trials next year. Campfield also hopes to remain active in running and other sports in the future as well as acquire a job in either professional sports or college athletics. TOURNAMENT TIME IN TOWN THE BEST P UCES TO WATCH MARCH MAOHESS M ICHAEL R AWSON SPORTS E DITOR There are those who believe the end of March deserves to be a national holiday, while others just enjoy the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Then there are the ones who are in it for the food. March Madness—otherwise known as the college basketball's championship tournament—provides sports fans with everything they could possibly dream of. The first two days of the tournament, March 17-18, games are played four at a time from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. This year, San Diego State received a #2 seed, their best ever, and look for their first ever tournament win on Thursday. While some friends may be hosting parties in their homes, how many people do you know with four televisions in one room? The Pride comes through with the places you need to be this time around. As ja first bet, Oggi's Pizza and Brewing Company used to be North County's finest. Saturated with flat screen televisions and serving up delicious pizza and salads, Oggi's wasn't to be topped. Since moving out of their location in the Westfield North County Fair in Escondido, however, Oggi's now offers only their Encinitas and Del Mar restau- rants to North County viewers. Still, seven scattered locations remain in San Diego County. Meanwhile, back at Westfield's off of Via Rancho Pkwy, Oggi's former location has been replaced by something even better. Bringing friends who can't even spell basketball? Stop by North County Tavern and Bowl, where finding something for everybody to do couldn't be easier. The four-sided bar allows even patrons passingby to stop for a beer and a game without ever entering the tavern. The Westfield parking lot remains a Mecca for suds and sports, too. Stop by BJ's (one of five in San Diego County) for their giant screen that automatically rotates between 1-4 games at any time. Pubs and bars can offer fine viewing options as well. Churchill's English Pub on San Marcos Blvd. features the county's best beer selection and fine pub grub. The Stadium in Encinitas gets pricey, but it might be worth making reservations during March Madness to sit at one of their booths equipped with its own flat-screen. For the downtown-bound, keep pubs like Hooley's (see Happy Hour of the Week) and bars like the Tilted Kilt (by Petco Park) in mind for a more city-minded experience. �S AN D IEGO CELEBRATES T HE GREENEST DAY OF T HE Y EAR: ST. PATRICK'S D AY LEXI POLLARD P RIDE STAFF W RITER St. Patrick's Day, the green holiday that falls on March 17, did not originate in Ireland. According to history.com, the United States of America held the first St. Patrick's Day Parade in 1762 when Irish soldiers serving in the English army displayed pride in Irish roots with traditional music and marching. Historically celebrated in the U.S., Canada and Australia, recent celebrations have undergone a transformation in Ireland. The traditional use of St. Patrick's Day as a religious occasion now exists as a parade in Dublin that attracts millions of viewers. While Ireland, New York City and Boston host St. Patrick's Day parade celebrations and citizens of Chicago dye the Chicago River green, San Diego offers a multitude of diverse events. St. Patrick's Day in the Gaslamp Quarter consists of the Miller Light ShamROCK, an event filled with the sounds of Irish rock, beverages and Astro Turf replacing the traditional glamorous red carpet with a "green" carpet. The eccentrically green celebration, dubbed the "biggest St. Patrick's Day block party west of the Mississippi" by SignOnSanDiego.com, attracts up to 20,000 people per year. Located at Sixth Avenue and Market Street, this event caters to and only allows guests 21 and up. The age restriction will ensure an abundance of green beer throughout the night. If ShamROCK does not appeal to celebratory taste, Hooley's Irish Pub and Grill in La Mesa hosts Hooleyfest on St. Patrick's Day. Hooleyfest lasts from 4 p.m. - midnight, and those who celebrate with full festive force have the option of free saferideshome night, but if one desires a calmer within a 5-mile radius.

The venue encourages tainment and dancing into the reservations and green attire. Although St. Patrick's Day did not expectedly originate in Ireland and society commercialized traditions, residents of San Diego can experience the lighthearted fun this holiday encourages. Most local and public events permit only those of legal drinking age, but those excluded always have the option of spending St. Patrick's Day pinching those who forgot to wear green to commemorate the holiday.

The allwood décor really helps create the Irish ambiance. And it isn't just the decoration that helps you feel like you are in Ireland. Hooley's offers a plethora of traditional Irish dishes on their menu like corned beef and cabbage and boxtys (a stuffed potato pancake topped with cheese), but what really makes this place special is their Guinness-infused meals: Guinness onion soup, Guinness BBQ beef, even Guin- ness ice cream, not to mention pints upon pints of the delicious beer itself. They also have a wide range of beer on tap, from the Irish red Smithwicks, the unfiltered Blue Moon and the ailAmerican Coors Light. Feeling especially festive? Try a Black and Tan (a pint layered with Bass then Guinness) or a Snake Bite (half Guinness and half cider). Beer not your thing? The bar pours over a dozen different types of whisky. Hooley's offers something for everyone to help them get into the party mood. On Mondays, Hooley's runs an all-day happy hour, as well as a nightly late night happy hour with $1 off draught beers, wine and spirits, $2 off appetizers and $3 off all bottles of wine. But the deals don't end there - stop in for $2 taco Tuesday, $10 Boxtys Wednesdays and all you can eat fish ' n chips on Sundays. So there is no bad day to stop in for a pint. Hooley's seems to cover all its bases in satisfying different types of personalities and taste buds. They also show all major sports events, including soccer, and they offer live music even a free ride home on nights with big gigs (within a five mile radius, of course - they have to draw the line somewhere). This St. Patrick's Day, throw on your greenest of garb or most Irish of outfits and saunter down to one of Hooley's two locations, Rancho San Diego (2955 Jamacha Rd.) and La Mesa (5500 Grossmont Center Dr.). -WARNER H OME VIDEO (PG-13) 'Also released today is "Hereafter" B « the latest film from director Clint Eastwood.

A write-in candidate is any student that does not turn in an ASI application, but chooses to campaign for a position, and then has voters manually type in their name on the ballot. The option of being a write-in candidate is not advertised on any of ASI's posters or flyers. However, Dalman explained that information will be posted In-The-Loop, The Cougar Channel and in students clubs, soon. See ELECTION, page 2 CSUSM's Student Health Services is currently in a tug-of-war with rising health care costs and a limited budget. This predicament leaves SHS no choice but to turn the student population for more funding. However, the student body has the right to vote for or against the increased funding, so knowing your money's potential may help you decide which way you will vote. In a recent interview, director of Student Health Services Dr. Karen Nicholson addressed what each part of the budget is paying for and why the assistance is so imperative. "(The budget) consists of two pots," she said. "The allowed state budget pays for my salary and a small part of operations. Everything else, (such as) services, pharmaceuticals...is paid by student fees." The reason SHS is requesting fee increases is that student enrollment is See FEE INCREASE, page 3 Budget cuts to hit College of Education part 2 of 2 By KYLE OTTO Pride StaffWriter In lieu of developing budget concerns, CSUSM college of education officials recently extended a message of hope to students, that their interests are of the highest priority in recent and upcoming talks regarding departmental funding cuts.

As explained in part 1 of this story, instructors will be taking reductions in travel allocations, and will be diminishing more resilient programs, in an effort to protect fee increases and the instructional quality available to students. Additionally, state Superintendent of Education Jack O'Connell sent a letter to Governor Schwarzenegger urging that the proposed 40 percent graduate fee increase not apply to credential students, "because of the importance of having a qualified pool of students in the state," said Dean M. Stephen Lilly of the college of education. See BUDGET CUTS, page 3 Dean Lilly Resigns By TOM PFINGSTEN Pride StaffWriter Steve Lilly announced last week that he will be stepping down as dean of the College of Education. Lilly has served at CSUSM for fourteen years after being hired in 1990 as the founding dean of the college of education. Following closely on the heels of the Karen Haynes' appointment as the new president of CSUSM, this change in leadership has again made headlines as school district administrators across San Diego County struggle to make sense of the drastic changes under way in California's educational system. Officials at CSUSM have decided to appoint Mark Baldwin as interim dean. A professor at CSUSM since 1995, Baldwin will serve for a year beginning on July 1, when Lilly's resignation takes effect.

"We want people to be aware that suicide exists, and that we should be more open about suicide, instead of pushing it aside and hiding it," said Chris Sanchez, head of CSUSM's Yellow Ribbon chapter. The Yellow Ribbon program, which now operates on high school and college campuses across the United States, was started by the Emee family, whose son Michael committed suicide. At CSUSM, the club hopes to raise awareness by sponsoring campus events with speakers, Sanchez said. They also hope to purchase a banner soon, since many students are still unaware of the club's existence. The Cold Stone fundraiser was designed to aid a tight budget, while allowing Yellow Ribbon volunteers the chance to work "behind the stone." "It's a lot of fun," said volunteer Tanja Schroeder, working alongside Sanchez and Lindsay Hilz. "I've only been here for half an hour and I've already been making cones and s tuff... And the ones that I burn, Lindsay and I eat them."

Bennett recently revealed a document previously kept in confidence to evade outside politicking that might corrupt good decision making. The text primarily outlined two principles unanimously agreed upon at a December 15 University Planning The latter of these two concessions provides for new programs and expansion of current offerings, in order to meet the needs of the community, according to Bennett's delineation. Bennett emphasized that, despite budget bickering, "There's still a central focus on preserving what's best for students. I 'm really happy to see that, because that's not always the way things run — because the students are not always at the table. Everybody's here for the right reason. The students' best interests are really at the table." He furthermore conveyed, "I can't think of anybody at any of the meetings that I've been to that stood in any opposition at all. If they're here I hope that they go. "It's very heartening to hear the way things are going, even in bad times," Bennett added. Lilly seconded this notion, saying that, "The good times always end and the bad times always end, and probably the most important thing is to keep our morale up at all times, keeping our focus. I 'm confident that this school cares about the students and both quality and access of instruction for students the most." Bennett voiced his own encouragement regarding his role as an educator, saying, "I know that I can have a real impact as a teacher. Because of your position on campus, you can have a real impact on the community." FEE INCREASE f rom page 1 Council meeting last year. The two priorities highlighted "ideals that were really held onto firmly as ideals that need to be put above all others," according to Bennett, and were recommended to the University Budget Committee: 1. "The highest campus priority is to provide quality instructional experiences that allow students to proceed at their preferred pace towards degree completion. This priority means providing enough in-class sections and other instructional offerings to meet student needs." 2. "Implement the Academic Blueprint at least in part through the establishment of creative partnerships to provide external and community support." In addition, SHS would also be able to offer dental and optometry screenings, but not treatment. Improvements would also be made in orthopedic services and disease prevention. Any excess in collected funds would also go toward current employees' benefits plan. SHS has devised other strategies for raising money other than targeting students, Nicholson said. "We are in the process of obtaining (a state funded program) called Family Pack." The program would offer STD screening and family planning programs. "This wouldn't just be for women, but for men as well," she said. The vote on the proposed Health Services fee increase will take place March 22-25. SHS sympathizes with the value of student dollars, especially with the recent increase in tuition, prompting their decision to let students decide with a vote whether to pay an increased health services fee. from page 1 dwindling. While CSUSM estimated the number of full-time enrollment (FTE) to be 6,643 in fall of 2004, the actual FTE was only 5,804. This leaves the student health department short $29,365, with students paying $35 per semester. To appropriate the shortage, SHS has requested students to vote on increasing the health fee from $35 to $50 starting next semester. "The funds would first stabilize what we are already doing," Dr. Nicholson said. "Then we would be able to offer an increase in our hours of operations for our psychiatry department," which she said was in high demand. Nicholson continued, "We would also be able to offer pharmacy hours during the same time (as the clinic)."

I would like to see Thé Pride in the hands of more students and faculty for reasons of actual interest and not just for criticism. But, I also need to know what we are missing in order to suggest to the editorial staff how we can improve. So, I ask you, the readers of The Pride, what do you want to know?

Thank you to all who contacted me this week with thoughtful insights and comments. Last week was a good week for reader comments on The Pride. I received a lot of positive feedback regarding the special travel issue. One person commented to me that this edition of The Pride marked the first time that she had read an entire issue from front to back without skipping any story. I felt reluctantly pleased by the statement and, of course, encouraged her to read more of The Pride on other weeks as well. A more specific idea that I got from my friend above was that she was interested in the content of this special issue.

(ASI) is getting ready to hold their annual election for student government officers for the next school year. To advertise the need for candidates for the election, ASI printed up flyers and posters with the slogan, "Go For It." The result of this highly motivating slogan is an election where not one of the candidate positions is being contested. "We tried to encourage students. It's unfortunate that the student body doesn't care," said Erin Dalman, ASI vice president of communication. We do not agree with Ms. Dalman, we think that people need to be convinced with passion and reason to get involved to do something. Student government was all about free hamburgers and enthralling speeches by Eric Roper to get students riled up about voting for various California propositions. Mr. Roper, where is our hamburger and speech to get us excited about participating in our own campus government? We want to encourage all students at CSUSM to run for student government. In case you have not seen the announcement on ASI's website regarding "write-in" candidates, it is not too late for new candidates to join the race.

First of all, board members get paid. Yes, students are awarded scholarship money for all elected offices. ASI officers receive a minimum scholarship of $7,999 for president, $6,290 for vice presidents and $800 for representatives. Crystal Folk, ASI vice president of finance, explained why ASI did not put the scholarship information on advertising posters, "We didn't want people to do it just for the money." Well we want students to run for the money. We want a student who has lots of ideas, ambition and passion, but just can't seem to spare any time because of his or her part-time job at The Gap. Now he or she has a great opportunity to quit that job and can finally make time to work on making a difference at CSUSM. Associated Students, Inc. offers students a wonderful opportunity to facilitate campus life at CSUSM. You get a chance to coordinate functions, including the annual masquerade ball and schedule famous people to speak on campus, just to name a few. The best incentive for being an elected officer is having an excellent experience to put on your resume. Another great incentive of being an ASI officer is having an office to hang out in on campus. And if you are elected president or vice president, you get your very own personal office on campus. Just image ... No more computer labs. No more using your car as your locker. Not even all your professors have this luxury. Please become a write-in candidate. Do not let these few people get all these benefits without doing some work for it. �Tüesday T March 16,2004 7 V/ a yynrTlT A K I i l T l THE PRIDE 6 Film c lass w orking w ith t he c ommunity In the corner of ARTS 340, the video lab at CSUSM, there's a beaten down blue couch that nobody is sitting in, and a funky painted table stacked with magazines that nobody is reading. That's because the students from Visual Arts (VSAR) 306 are too busy editing footage for their projects to think about lounging around. VSAR 306, video in the community, is an entry level class offered every spring that gives students the opportunity to learn about video production while working within the community. The class is separated into groups and assigned a community partner, who they then collaborate with to develop video projects significant to that community. Kristine Diekman, chair of visual and performing arts, who teaches the class, said that video in the community "makes a nice bridge between San Marcos and the community." While it teaches students about video production, Diekman said, it also benefits "people who need help in some way," and it helps "the community members get something done" that they might not be able to otherwise.

In other parts of the world, however, there are other exciting ways to celebrate St. Patty's day. In Ireland, there is a week long celebration of parades and parties, and one might also expect to experience the excitement in Boston, where many Irish descendants will be drinking it up, and enjoying the city's festivities of decorative floats and other funfilledevents. In honor of St. Patrick, here's something to think about while enjoying a green beer and hanging out with your friends: Why is this the day people wear green and partake in liquid pleasures? St. Patrick was the patron saint of Ireland and was born in Wales about AD 385. At the age of sixteen, he was captured by marauders who kept him captive. While enslaved, he grew closer to God, and after six years of enslavement, he escaped and years later joined a monastery for a period of twelve years. During his years in the monastery, he decided his calling was to convert the pagans, of Ireland, to Christianity. It was not an easy task since his superiors appointed St. Palladius to Ireland, and two years later Patrick, having adopted this as his Christian name, was appointed as second bishop to Ireland, and St. Palladius was transferred to Scotland. Although Patrick was successful at winning converts, the Celtic druids did not agree with him and locked him up several times. He escaped several times. He traveled throughout Ireland establishing monasteries across the country; as well as schools and churches that would aid in the conversion of the Irish country to Christianity. St. Patrick's mission lasted for thirty years before he retired and then died on March 17 in AD 461. That's the day we all know as St. Patrick's Day and have celebrated ever since. There is also some interesting folk lore to chat about being that St. Patrick was believed to raise the dead, oooh. There is also a rumor that people said he drove all the snakes from Ireland, however, no snakes were ever native to Ireland; snakes might have been spoken of to symbolize the conversions of the pagans to Christianity. There's also the leprechaun; that if one startled him, he would take you to a pot of gold. Then there's the fact that corn beef and cabbage was not a traditional dish in Ireland, but only traditional to the Irish immigrants who came to America and could only afford this type of food, which then became an American Irish dish. And then there's the shamrock. St. Patrick was said to have used this symbol to explain the holy trinity to his followers. He used the three-leafed shamrock in his sermons to represent how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Sprit could all exist as separate elements of the same entity. This is when his followers adopted the custom of wearing a shamrock on his feast day. St. Patrick's Day became a custom in America in 1737, in Boston, which was the first year that St. Patrick's Day was publicly celebrated in this country. If you're looking forward to celebrating St. Patty's Day, you might try North County where you could stop by The Blvd, in San Marcos to check out the bands the Plug Uglys and Scotch Green for five bucks. There's also Tom Giblins, a traditional Irish pub, in Carlsbad, for some entertainment. Maybe you live near the Belly up, in Solana Beach, where they're having a St. Patty's Day party with the band Skelpin, playing traditional Celtic music. Or, you could journey down town, where there will be a celebration in the Gaslamp quarter with a musical block party from 5 p.m. until midnight with fifteen of your favorite bars and restaurants. �A&E THE PRIDE A y—I Tuesday March 16, 2004 Qwrìcorn CancW MMvAtitlingl the park.

Tomorrow, March 17 at 7:30 p.m. in ARTS 240 students can see a performance of this intriguing show. An original work by internationally acclaimed playwright Eve Ensler, TVM is based on Ensler's interviews with over 200 women who were willing to speak out about their vaginas, sometimes with great emotion and detail. These testimonies range from answers to questions like, "If your vagina could talk, what would it say in two words?" to detailed re-enactments of women's experiences with sexual abuse and torture. The show is always changing as Ensler updates her work every year based on her latest interactions with women. These declarations have grown from a one-woman show, to a globally executed creation, usually performed by three or more women. The V-Day Oceanside Troupe, organized by local resident Cari Bacon, came together to perform the controversially titled play last month at the Star Theatre in Oceanside for the second year in a row. After being invited to see the sold out show, student coordinator for women's studies at CSUSM, Josh Harris, encouraged the ladies to perform their work on the CSUSM campus as part of an extensive series of events in recognition of Women's History Month. This time of the year is particularly significant for performances of TVM because from it has sprung a movement called V-Day that focuses on Photo courtesy of Axe Records ByROGERNARANJO Pride StaffWriter Photo by /Joan Marcus Eve E nsler s peaks t he w ords of t he h undreds o f w omen who have i nspired h er c reation, " The V agina M onologues." raising awareness about violence against women, as well as taking a proactive stand toward eradicating it. V-Day is celebrated on February 14, and most performances of TVM are concentrated around this time however, women who are involved in V-Day are active in their efforts all year long, traveling to places like Juarez, Cairo and Afghanistan in order to help end violence against women and girls everywhere. According to Harris and associate professor of women's studies Linda Pershing, there have been numerous calls from the community in response to the advertisement of TVM in local papers. The public is not only interested in coming to the performance at CSUSM, they are worried about getting tickets. Bacon will be performing along with five or six other women who were also involved in the Oceanside performance of TVM, including CSUSM student Cassandra Collins. Dynamite! Boss sounds of 60's style reggae are exploding in the underground scene once again and The Aggrolites are front and center leading the come back under the Axe Records label. Their new CD entitled "Dirty Reggae" encompasses all the elements needed to brew up a solid delivery of this vintage style reggae. The Aggrolites got their name by fusing the names of reggae greats the Aggrovators and the Crystalites. Their sound is influenced by the Hippy Boys, Tower Of Power, The Clash, The Upsetters, War, Bleachers, Pioneers, The Who, The Meters and Jackie Mittoo. The members of this band have played in such bands as the Rhythm Doctors, The Vessels, See Spot, King Apparatus, Dub Street Rockers, Kingston 10, and have opened for reggae legend Prince Buster. The wailing, skanking rhythm guitar of Brian Dixon intertwined with the plucking leads of Jesse Wagner laid over a heavy harmonizing organ give a feel of being in Jamaica. The vocals on this CD laid down by Wagner are scratchy, grinding and reminiscent of the high soulful sound of reggae greats such as Desmond Decker, Laurel Atkins and Drakar from The Adjusters. Thefirstsong on the album, "Hot Spot," starts out with an intricate drum line by Korey Horn accompanied by cowbells. It is an audio assault when the organ, drum and bass bring it on home. J. Bonner, the bass player, plays punchy, pounding bass lines that can be felt in the hip. Wagner's lyrics encompass a combination of updated nursery songs, romantic lyrics, proverbs and street wisdom. "The Stampede," another song on the album, starts out with an announcement that the stampede is coming. This musical number is a well balanced blend of galloping skank, plucking guitar and heavy organ played by Roger Rivas together with an up tempo tight drum and bass, sprinkled with an in your face trombone section. "This aint no disco doing the funk, this aint no hip hop shake your rump," are the lyrics in another track sure to make you want to cut the rug, titled "Pop the Trunk." "We were trying to come up with song ideas and Deston Berry (Hepcat) suggested 'pop the trunk' since it's something we always ask our friends to do, so we came up with T op the Trunk,'" Wagner said. This isn't the ordinary overproduced MTV reggae you're used to, this is soul and though it won't make the Billboard's top ten, it is great. You'll need a Cliff bar to groove through this whole CD. If you love reggae, ska, or rock steady then this is truly an album your collection shouldn't be without. You can pick this album up at www.theaggrolites.com or at www.axerecords.com also at Lou's Records and other great music shops. Enjoy.

XXIII N O. 6 March 4th teach-in and rally spark motive for change BY BEN ROFFEE & SANDRA CHALMERS Mar. 4-Four distinguished members of CSUSM's faculty convened in Academic Hall 102 today for a teach-in to speak out against the stripping of funding for California's Higher Education programs. Coinciding with the statewide "day of action," an eclectic panel of professors from a multitude of academic fields offered their critiques of the CSU and UC systems and offered solutions based on their respective fields of study. Many students were forced to stand in the back or sit on stairs and in passageways as the room was filled to capacity. Organizers simulcasted the teach-in live to dozens of locations on campus and over the internet, reaching hundreds more who had class or were otherwise unable to make it to the event. First to speak was Dr. Ranjeeta Basu, professor of Economics, shedding light on the effects of cuts to public education as they relate to the economic wel- 1 3131¡ • I pjR hH ViyHfMÈ Émm ¡ É fare of the state. Like an investment, said Dr. Basu, public education is capable of garnering valuable benefits for the public if the public chooses to assume the responsibility of paying for it. According to Dr. Basu, "as a college student, when you graduate, you accrue a personal rate of return, which currently in the U.S. is about 15%. So you are making an extremely good investment by being here because that 15% is much higher than any investment you could make anywhere else." "There is also a social rate of return-this is only looking at what the state gets back from education-and that is about 9%, which means that even for the government, for the state, its a very good investment to invest in education as opposed to other areas." Dr. Scott Greenwood, a professor in the Political Science and Global Studies departments, assessed the political implications in California of the budget crisis in its public higher education programs. At the core of this Photo by Ben Roffee - issue, said Dr. Greenwood, is the dependency of the CSU and UC systems on a volatile tax base bound to unpredictable economic forces. According to Dr. Greenwood, "Ideally what we want to is try to find a way to stabilize the revenue source, not just for the general fund but also for public education.

The CCR was formerly a graduation requirement for CSUSM undergraduates unless an approved computing course satisfied the requirement. It then moved to being mandatory for all students to pass before graduating. As per an expired campus mandate, undergraduates must complete a three-part exam consisting of displayed proficiency in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Viruses, and ethics associated with software and the Internet. The decision to eliminate the requirement, originated from a recommendation by the Aca- demic Senate, according to the Office of the Provost and Vice President for Affairs. Should students still feel the need to educate themselves on content necessary for computer competency, it is recommended they enroll in CS 100. The course provides a brief overview of computing and focuses on the same topics covered in the CCR. "The Student Technology Help Desk (STH) also provides support and training for students," the announcement said. The Student Help Desk is located on the second floor of Kellogg Library. The staff is well-versed in a variety of applications for both PC and Mac. �Tuesday, M ord. 16, 2 010 OpjiljOn ____rHEWDE T H E ( ^ P RIDE EDITORIAL STAFF C O-EDITORS-IN-CHIEF AMY SALISBURY SANDRA CHALMERS N EWS EDITOR BEN ROFFEE COPY E DITOR AMY SALISBURY LAYOUT EDITOR R UDY M ARTINEZ D ISTRIBUTION MANAGER BILL R HEIN BUSINESS M ANAGERS SALES REPRESENTATIVE KRJSTINA LAWLER M ARTINEZ PRIDE_ADS#CSUSM.EDU ADVISOR JOAN A NDERSON SENIOR STAFF WRITERS BILL R HEIN P RIDE STAFF W RITERS JAMES R OCHE MALLANE DRESSEL KATRINA KLSTLER SARAH G ADDIS O ur community shines in dark times BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer The inconveniences and f rustrations of f urloughs and bad budgets has stretched the f iber of our school, and the recent g raffiti inciting hate created even more disappointment. But the student and s taff response has been very encouraging. The rally against the pay cuts, f urloughs, enrollment caps, and other problems we face because of the budget cuts on March 4 was an inspiring event. I was skeptical of how much of an e ffect a rally and teach-in would have, but the climate on campus that day was h opeful. I was glad to see so many people come together because it is easy to forget this problem is bigger than one individual is. However, what impressed me the most was the protest organized by many student organizations against hate crimes and discrimination. The words scribed on the wall of our campus were ignorant and upsetting, but I do not want to draw attention to that. It is a shame that this happened, that someone felt strongly enough to do that. But out of this dark moment, it was emotionally moving to see the student body come together. Our community did not respond with anger or a backlash, but with unity and support. It would be nice if we could take these problems away. But since we live in the real world, we have to deal with them. There is no longer a need to be discouraged or hopeless in these situations. We have already proved we can come together and do something unexpected. Now is the time to keep tumbling dominos to improve Photo by Sarah Gaddis N eed some c çiicK c ash?

From the Sociology department, Dr. Sharon Elise discussed public education in California as it relates to race, gender, and class issues. Against the backdrop of recent racist events on campus, Dr. Elise took aim at what she described a system of "entitlement" that has emerged in California's higher education. "There has always been something particularly threatening about educated people of color, something threatening to the status quo of race and property distribution in the United States," said Dr. Elise. "The provision of free public higher education is fundamental to creating social justice and equity, and so it is also central to the fight against racial injustice." Dr. John Halcon from the Department of Education gave his opinion on some of the structural shortcomings California's approach to public higher education. Remarking on the theory of "deliverology" and the CSU's "Master Plan, Dr. Halcon said, "I believe that when higher education becomes a privilege, only the privileged will afford higher education. Deliverology is top-down management and anti-democratic." "In my opinion, we can expect that Deliverology will change future graduates from that of well-rounded articulate thinking to competent technicians capable of following orders but fundamentally incapable of thinking for themselves," added Dr. Halcon Rally at Library Plaza Last Thursday began a nation wide protest against education budget cuts that have left campuses frustrated and demanding a change. CSUSM held a teach-in rally that allowed for students, faculty, and staff to voice their feelings and struggles on how the budget cuts have affected them. In the academic year of fall 2009 - spring 2010 students have experienced tuition hikes, furlough days for faculty and staff, fewer classes to choose from and a cap on the amount of units that may be taken per semester. These changes have crippled our campus, leaving students, faculty and staff aggravated, but motivated to implement change. Students are paying more for tuition and student services but are receiving less than in years before. Furlough days have taken 10 percent of student's education, by representing the 10 percent pay cuts that faculty are enduring. Although students are receiving less education they are spending more in tuition than in 2008 when no furloughs were in practice. The rally called for all who are disgruntled to gather together to respond in protest to the current situation. Many student clubs and organizations responded by supporting the rally with hand made signs that shared their feelings of misfortune with the education system. The political science club held a "poster making party" that encouraged students to bring markers and other decorative items in preparation for the rally. The student organization also created an event page on facebook concerning the rally. " Tell your friends, classmates, and people in your community! Everyone needs to know that CSUSM is participating in this call to action for public education," said in the description of the event. This sort of buzz and excitement for the rally and teach-in event was easily generated and passed on to students and faculty members and united them by creating this event as a outlet for expression as well as a movement for change.

This would be the first of five Hate Crimes reported on campus within a week. The vandalized bathroom stall featured a graffiti message about seven b y seven inches in diameter. University President, Karen Haynes notified staff and students of the event early the next day in a campus wide email. "I will not tolerate any attempts to intimidate or threaten our University community," wrote President Haynes.

Activity died down and various clubs and organizations planned a "Stop Hate Crime" rally during U-hour on March 9, 2010. The protest was very successful with staff and students involved. Three hours later, University Police answered the call about the latest Hate Crime: an insulting message on a car regarding sexual orientation. The recent activity parallels hate crime action on othef campuses as well. Lt. McManus confirmed that UPD has been in contact with other campuses and at this time there are no similarities.

CSUSM improves to an impressive 13-6-1 this season. Illinois Tech drops to 0-5. In the more competitive game, CSUSM took what seemed to be a safe 5-0 lead in the third inning thanks to a big two-out rally. With nobody on, Kyle Secciani drew a walk, Matt Jenkins ripped a single off thefirstbaseman's glove down therightfieldline, and red-hot Kevin Silvett drove in the first run with a base hit Josh Miller was then hit by a pitch, loading the bases for Ryle Parks, who delivered a huge two-RBI double. Johnny Omahen then hit a ball to second which was booted and subsequently thrown away, allowing Paries and Miller to score to make it 5-0. With Travis McCracken on the mound, the game felt like it was over, but Illinois Tech responded well McCracken ran into trouble in the fourth, due in part to his own error and a seeing-eye swinging bunt single - surrendering four runs and leaving with the bases loaded and one out Hard-throwingrelieverKyle Smart was called on to put out the fire, and he did so brilliantly, striking out two batters to close out the frame. With CSUSM up 5-4, each team threatened to score, but neither could push any more runs across. Ricky Chavarria did an excellent job on the mound for the Cougars, working the final three innings and allowing just one hit He picked up the wellearned save, with Smart getting the win. Game two would feature no such drama, as CSUSM took a commanding 6-0 lead in the bottom of thefirstbefore recording a single out Secciani drew a leadoff walk, and Ricardo Moran and Silvett recorded back-to-back doubles to make it 2-0. After a walk to Miller and single b y. Parks to load the bases, Steve Harris unloaded on a no-doubt-about-it grand slam torightcenter. The hit parade would continue in the second, as Silvett blasted a tworun homer, and Miller followed with a solo shot of his own to make it 9-0. Meanwhile, Brett Miller was in complete control on the mound for CSUSM. He worked four easy innings, striking out six while allowingjust two hits and a walk. The win improves him to 2-0 this season. Secciani singled in a run in the fourth to make it 10-0; and in the fifth, doubles by Jordan Polchow and Mike Pena, along with an Omar Manzanarez sacrifice fly made it 12-0.

Sandberg, Dronenburg, Villalpando lead Softball to Sweep of Biola BY KYLE TREMBLEY On Saturday at CSUSM Softball Field, Brenna Sandberg's pitching and Alyssa Dronenburg's hitting led Cougar softball in game one to a 3-1 victory over Biola University, and Kimi Villalpando's 4 RBI propelled the squad to a come-fiom-behind 6-4 win in game two. The sweep improves #20-ranked CSUSM to 12-6 this season. Biola M s to 12-10. It's a pair ofbig wins over a quality opponentforthe Cougars, who, aside from a lapse in the second inning of game two, looked very good on the day. Game one was dominated by Sandberg, who through six innings had allowed just one baserunner. She ended up going the distance, striking out ten batters while surrendering just one unearned run on two hits and one walk to pick up her 10th win of the season. The offense came from Dronenburg, who led off thefourthinning by lacing a ball over the fence in rightcenter to put her team up 1-0. It's her team-leading sixth home run of the season. From there, CSUSM would pick up an insurance run in the fifth, with Elizabeth Bush scoring on a wild pitchfollowinga base hit and an Alicia Ingram double. The Cougars would tack on another in the sixth, with red-hot Erica Coelho leading off with a single, advancing to third on a Ciera Ashman double, and scoring on a solid Shanti Poston single up the middle. The 3-1 margin would hold, as Sandberg worked through a little trouble in the seventh to preserve the victory. Game two would require some perseverance, but the Cougars rose to the challenge. Biola played small ball in the second, taking advantage of a Cougar defense that committed three errors and made some questionable decisions to take an early 4-0 lead But CSUSM responded immediately, cutting it to 4-3 in the bottom of the frame as Villalpando delivered a big two-RBI single that plated Coelho and Ashman, and Ingram then singled in Villalpando. And in the third, the Cougars would take theirfirstlead of the contest Coelho continued to mash the ball, doubling to lead off the inning. Ashman drew a walk, and a base hit by Poston loaded the bases. That brought up Villalpando again, and once again she knocked a two-RBI single right up the middle to give CSUSM a 5-4 lead That score would hold for most of the contest, as Sandbergrightedthe ship on the mound and the defense settled in. In the bottom of the sixth, Lauren Nelson drilled a solo home run to push the lead to 6-4. Sandberg would finish it off; as Poston made a nice leaping catch at shortstop to record the game's final out Sandberg improves to an impressive 11-3 on the season. CSUSM will be back at home on Saturday to host Bethany University for a double-header starting at noon. Track & Field competes at Point Loma Invitational BY KYLE TREMBLEY A day after the Cougar distance runners competed at the Occidental Distance Carnival, the rest of the team participated in the Point Loma Invitational, hosted by Point Loma Nazarene on Saturday. And for the second straight day, plenty of Cougar athletes punched their tickets to Nationals. On the women's side, the 4x100- meter relay team earned the "A" standard, guaranteeing them a spot at Nationals. The team of Aimee Rassavong, Krystle Osby, Mary Spinharrey, and Monika Valenzuela posted a time of48.48 seconds, good for second place at the meet. The 4x400-meter team got the "A" standard as well. Lucia Asbury, Tiffany West, Osby, and Valenzuela won the event with a time of 3:54.28. Valenzuela also met the "B" standard in the individual 400-meter dash, running 57.67 seconds to win the event.

The team of Thomas McDougal, Anthony Harbour, Nicholas Stein, and Nicholas Henderson posted a time of 41.78 seconds. That same team also met the "B" standard in the 4x400-meter relay, winning the race with a time of 3:17.73. Harbour also earned his individual "A" standard in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 52.6 seconds.

Huntington Beach offered the competitors decent weather, and 2-4 foot surf on Friday and Saturday. Then on Sunday for the final rounds, the wind increased to bring the surf up to a peaky th 5 feet, and made the surf somewhat inconsistent. SDSU was a dominant force that crushed the rest of their competitors in the finals leaving their score at 162. The runner-up UCSB only scored 132. The surfers competing are judged on their best two waves in a given heat of only 15 minutes, so concentration and correct wave choice are key to advancing. Unfortunately luck can be a variable as well. The team didn't fair well in round one. Kailtin Maguire and Mick Rogers were the last surfers on the team competing on Sunday in the semi-finals for the long board division. The long board division is co-ed, and Maguire is the only woman who has been able to break into the final round in previous events. Her rank right now for the conference is 17th with only competing in 3 out of 4 events. Mick Rogers is ranked 6th after competing in all four events. He said, "I started off the event on a positive note, managing to string together a couple of good turns with some nose rides, but on Sunday, due to crappy waves and not performing the best, I couldn't really put it all together." Rogers said that the benefits of being part of the CSUSM surf team are, "To be part of a team, with people that all share similar interests." He said he enjoys "The rivalry of competing against other universities up and down the California coast." Both Rogers and Maguire see surfing as something they can enjoy easily while still making time for school. Maguire said "School is a once in a iifetime opportunity, and you can't really Photo by Mike Rogers rely on surfing to support you in the future. These days it seems that even the best of the pros are struggling to make a life out of surfing." The team represents the school in competitions, but also allows these individuals to be able to do what they enjoy while still planning for their future. Even though the other team members didn't advance into final rounds, the experience of competing will be useful to prepare them for the NSSA National Championships in June, where they will defend their title. Last year, the team won their first National Title for the school in Photo by Mike Rogers a tiebreaker finish against west coast school UNCW. Scott McBride, who took 4th place in the men's short board division at last year's National Championships, will be returning. For women's short boarding, the team has Alexa Thornton, who is ranked a promising 7th out of 63 other competitors. Last year she finished 6th when competing at the high school level. Laura Thatcher and Summer Meyer are contenders as well, ranking in the top 25. The team also has the assistance of their veteran advisor Amber Puha to help them capture the title again. 11 Keep America beautiful for your chance to f o r your favorite club, sorority or charity Earn your degree in I H education in 12-18 months.

For Women's History Month, "The Pride" shines its spotlight on a h andful of the many accomplished women that distinguish Cal State San Marcos. D r. V e r o n i c a A n o v e r Photo courtesy ofVeronica Anover Dr. Veronica Anover is Cal State San Marcos' 2008-2009 award recipient for the Outstanding PresidentAwardforTeachingExcellence. Anover received her Bachelor's Degree in translation and interpretation from L'Institut Catholique de Paris. She went on to receive a Master's degree in French and Spanish from FSU. Dr. Anover continued on to receive a Doctorate in French from Florida State University. Anover is a professor of Foreign Languages. She published a French textbook, "A vous!," along with two workbooks/lab manuals. Anover also published textbook in French that accompanies the "A vous!" textbook along with a textbook in Spanish that accompanies the textbook "Plazas." Anover is currently working on her third workbook/ lab manual in Spanish. As a contributor of the "French Review," Anover writes book reviews of contemporary women authors. Four book reviews are published per year. Anover also published scholarly articles in "Second Language Acquisition" and in "French and Spanish Contemporary Literature" written by women. Benoîte Groult, a woman now in her 80's has been Anover's role model in many ways. Groult was one ofthefirstFrench feminists who participated in the MLF (Mouvement pour la Libération de la Femme) the French Feminist Movement born in 1968. Of Groult, Anover's says "she reminded me how lucky we women are today. We should not take for granted what our 'mothers' and 'grand-mothers' accomplished for us." D r. S o h e i l a J o r j a n i Brakebill Award recipient, Dr. Soheila Jorjani, has been teaching on campus for 17 years. Joijani received a PhD from the University of California, Irvine in Operations Research. Jorjani has applied her knowledge and pursued significant scholarly activities. Jorjani was one of the first researchers to apply operations research models to environmental problems. Her work has been published in prestigious journals in the field of operations management and management science, such as the "International Journal of Production Research" and "Journal of Optimization Theory and Applications." Jorjani has made many contributions to the College of Business Administration. Since the beginning of her career on campus, Jorjani helped develop new classes and programs such as the Senior Experience Program. In 1993, Joijani and three other faculty members designed the unique program that remains the most important class of the curriculum for students of the CoBA. Every semester, graduating seniors work collaboratively to address real-life proj- ects proposed by local businesses. In 2005, Jorjani became the chair of the MBA committee, since then she has led the committee in revision of the program. The MBA program courses are each based on one of the four themes of environment, ethics, global, and technology. Since 2007, Jorjani has served as the director of the MBA Program and she explained that her biggest challenge is to make sure the program is implemented correctly. Outside of campus, Jorjani has a second job, beirlg a mother. With a 19-year-old daughter and her youngest at the age of 15, she wants nothing more than to be a good role model for them. Jorjani is trying to follow in the steps of her role model, Trini Photo by Gabriela Martinez Melcher, a former professor who she always admired. "She was the best mom, her kids were so accomplished," confesses Joijani. Jorjani is an Iranian who broke apart from a culture in which women are not thought to be career women. "It was a challenge to break away from that stereotype that they have for Middle Eastern women" says Joijani. Jorjani has a passion for being a housewife and a workingwoman. "I love doing both, to have a balance, to be comfortable in both roles," she says. Education is what allowed Jorjani to have that opportunity and she advises students to "get a high education, get a PhD, especially to women. Get a higher degree, because then you have a choice." D r. oMffliction: done before. And it toddard-Holmes artha S has a link Writing, followed by a PhD in being a good "Fictions f A Physical Disability m Victorian C ulture" is Dr. Martha Stoddard-Holmes' biggest accomplishment. StoddardHolmes began thinking about her ideas for this book since 1989 when she was still a graduate student. The book itself was published in 2004, a year after its completion. "The reason why I always think of this as my biggest accomplishment is that it did something that nobody else had f WH5 Lo 56° not just to literature and history, but also to peoples' lives now," says Stoddard-Holmes. Stoddard-Holmes' writing is about how society got ideas about what it means to be physically disabled. Aside from her book, being a parent, and raising her 15-yearold son is another major accomplishment for Dr. StoddardHolmes. Stoddard-Holmes holds a BA in English from Cornell University, and an MA in Creative â nmî/ 1 55° English Literature. StoddardHolmes received both her MA and PhD from the University of Colorado in Boulder. There are many friends and role models that StoddardHolmes knows who helped her become a better scholar. One being Rosemarie Garland-Thomson, a scholar from Emory University. Since 1993, she has been like a big sister to Stoddard-Holmes. "She has been my mentor and my role model in terms of scholar... she's a terrific scholar, she's my teacher, she keeps guiding me along the way," says Stoddard-Holmes. StoddardHolmes is the youngest in her family, giving her a wide variety of role models to look up to.

BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer Letter t o the e ditor The graduation process is an exciting time in a student's life. Juggling work, family, and school commitments for a sustained five or more years makes the graduation day a hugereliefas well as a feeling of achievement. Unfortunately, it seems that at Cal State San Marcos it takes more than just finishing your graduatingrequirementsto successfully meet that all-important day. I recently graduated, or so I thought, from CSUSM with a BA in Literature and Writing with an emphasis in Literature. I was a transfer studentfromseveral universities and junior colleges and my transcripts were quite varied. The job of sorting through my courses and applying them to the right classes here at CSUSM went to my Faculty Advisor. Ifirstmet with her after the urging of my Academic Advisor, to sort out my course approvals. My Faculty Advisor and I discussed what classes we thought would match CSUSM's. She filled out the necessary paperwork and I thought everything was in order. I met again with my Academic Advisor to see if everything was in order and she said that it was.

I have to say one more thing about the Admissions and Records staff at CSUSM. Every time I have gone in there or called to get some more information and help I feel like I am inconveniencing them. I call and they want to hang up the phone as soon as possible with only giving me as many one-word responses as possible. The University Administration at CSUSM NEEDS to be reformed. There needs to be better communication between the faculty and administration. There needs to be more information for students available. I know I am not the only one who has had difficulties with the graduation process at CSUSM. I encourage everyone who has had difficulties to write President Haynes and let's get some changes made.

K im P ulvers Photo by Gabriela Martinez At the age of eight, Dr. Kim P ulvers' family was involved in a d readful car accident. Both of her parent's were seriously i njured. As a result o f the accident, her mother's entire l eft side became paralyzed, and at one point, doctors did not believe her mother would survive. "They said, 'She's never going to go back to work, she'll never really regain normal f unctioning,' but she was fortunate, she did survive. She pursued intensive rehab f or two years, everyday, all day. And as a result of her courage and her tenacity, she went back to elementary school teaching, she was able to go back to work, go back to living her life," says Pulvers. This tragic accident that led to a miraculous recovery is the reason why Pulvers first became interested in Positive Psychology. This life changing experience is what defines what Pulvers does, her focus on human strength and resilience. Pulvers followed her desire to learn about psychology* and graduated from Westmont College in 1994 with a BA in Psychology. She went on to complete a Practitioner Oriented Master's Degree. Pulvers later moved to Kansas City where she attended University of Kansas to receive a PhD in Clinical Psychology where she was trained in clinical work, research, and teaching. Another interest of Pulvers' is health,"I wanted to really understand more, on how to change people at the population level." In order to have that population level training and learn how to help people, she completed a Master of Public Health Degree in 2005 also from the University of Kansas. During her clinical training year Dilcie Perez In 1995, Dilcie Perez became a CSUSM graduate with a BA in Political Science. Perez went on to receive her Master's f rom Central Michigan University in 2000. In 1998, she once again became a cougar as Assistant Outreach Coordinator and, over a five-year period, became the Associate Director of the Outreach Program. As she was about to ¿ay goodbye once again to the university, the Associate Director of Multicultural Programs position became available. The position was to a brand new program that Perez had the honor of establishing in 2003. Soon after, Perez decided to live in Japan until CSUSM proposed she return as the Director of Student Life and Leadership. Photo by Gabriela Martinez Pereztooktheopportunity and has held the position ever since. Dilcie Perez was a recipient for the Student A ffairs Student Leadership Award and Employee of the Year Award. Aside from the o fficial awards she has received, Perez has been honored with many unofficial awards that have touched her heart deeply. "I feel that an award for me is gratification, when a student calls me and says, T m at this leadership conference and I had to think of someone who is a leader and it's you,'" adds Perez. Perez also sees being selected to complete d ifficult projects as an award, "When even my boss or someone will come and say 'Hey, we have this assignment that we THE PRIDE at Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Pulvers worked with drug and alcohol addiction. Following a Postdoctoral at UCSD FROM 2006-2008, Pulvers worked at the Cancer Center and focused on nicotine addiction. As of fall 2008, Pulvers is in her first year at CSUSM, where she came on board as a full time tenyear track faculty member. Pulvers was awarded a University Professional Development grant to study adaptive pathways for dealing with acute pain amongst smokers. In her studies, Pulvers wants to learn what thought strategies her subjects have and wants to teach these strategies to people battling addiction. In order to support her studies, CSUSM's Psychology department will be building a smoking lab. This unique asset will allow Pulvers to work with her undergraduate and graduate students through active learning. "I'm thrilled to be here. I'm happy to be at a place where I can do my research with great students," says Pulvers. really need done. Can you do it, r ight?'" says Perez. Perez is currently the American Council on Education O ffice of Women in Higher Education Southern California Regional Coordinator. There are only two in the state and Perez represents all of Southern California. "I think awards come in many shapes and sizes," voices Perez. "If you're looking for awards and official things, for me that not what drives me. It's the individual relationships and people that I come in contact with." Perez believes that role models are all around. She encourages women to believe in themselves. Though Perez can think of the traditional role models like her mother and previous supervisors, what draws her to someone is their fortitude in the mist of a crisis. "It's hard sometimes, because we see women who have never had someone tell them how awesome they are, and how incredible they are and half the battle is having confidence in yourself," Perez says, adding, "it's important to laugh at yourself, you're going to jack it up...we all do...you have to remember to have f un, live life, stretch yourself, don't get comfortable in your comfort zone." Joyce Bruggeman has held several paid and volunteer positions throughout her years. Bruggeman received her BA in Spanish with an* emphasis in Bilingual Education from the University of California, Irvine. Previous to Bruggeman's employment at CSUSM, she worked in market research for a real estate company, held various administrative positions in educational settings as well as small businesses, and was the co-owner of a small farm with her late husband. In 2001, Bruggeman began working at Cal State San Marcos where she also held numerous positions. Bruggeman worked in the Psychology department, acted as the Budget Manager for "The Pride Student Newspaper" as well as Assistant to the Dean of Students. In 2005, Bruggeman became the Resource Analyst for the Division of Student Affairs. Bruggeman believes this is a perfect fit for her, "I have the opportunity every day to help facilitate the various services that help our students at Cal State San Marcos." Aside from her work on campus, Bruggeman volunteers at public schools, community youth organizations, and church. "I have had the opportunity to serve my community as well as develop my professional skills by providing leadership, lecturing, teaching seminars, organizing events, and training other leaders" says Bruggeman. However the most fulfilling part of Bruggeman's life has been raising her two children, Katie, 21 and Brian, 26, with her late husband. "They have faced many ofthesame Photo courtesy ofJoyce Bruggerman challenges as their peers and have developed into amazing young adults. I am especially proud that when life handed them the worst, they met the challenge head on with their best. They are both strong, courageous, and loving individuals who consistently exceed my expectations" says Bruggeman. Though Bruggeman has had both male and female influences in her life, two women come to mind: a professional leader and a spiritual leader. Current Vice President for Student Affairs, Patricia Worden, is her professional role model. In Bruggeman's personal life, Barbara Brown has been her spiritual mentor. "These two women are phenomenal leaders and although their spheres of influence are vastly different, the characteristics that mark their leadership are strength, dignity, and grace.

As I sit down for the interview, I witness a nearly tearful goodbye with her close friend Catherine Cucinella. She hugs and tells Cucinella, a Literature and Writing Professor at CSUSM, they will be in touch and see each other soon. Before Nix started working for CSUSM, she was employed at Cal State San Bernardino. She joined CSUSM in 1992 when she decided to move closer to where her children were residing. Her daughter, who is currently working for the College of Business department at CSUSM, has been working longer than Nix at the university. When she first applied to CSUSM, she was hired to work in Facilities and Public Safety. But for the past ten years, Nix has been the Administrative Coordinator for the Literature and Writing department. When asked what she will mis3 the most after leaving CSUSM, she answers, "All the people I've worked with and the close relationships I've developed. I really enjoyed working with the people here and the students." From thefirstday on the job to her current retirement, Nix has been around to see the wonderful changes the university has made. When she first started her job with CSUSM, the campus was located in a strip mall on furniture row, which is a couple miles away from the university's current location. It was an "everybody knows everybody" community back on furniture row and Nix is happy to know she was a part of the university's growth over the past years. When asked what her daily routines will be like now that she is retiring, she jokingly answered, "I think the most exciting part is that I won't have to set that alarm in the morning unless if I want toi" A retirement party was held in honor of Nix on March 3. She said the celebration was wonderful and much more than she expected. She added, "Everyone was so sweet and it has been a very emotional, up and down time. It's going to be a big adjustment and I am going to miss so many people. It's hard to explain." It does not take long to notice that Photo by Jessenia Lua both students and faculty are going to miss having Nix Literature and Writing professor around. As I was walking away say, "Anita, you will be imposfrom her office, I overheard a sible to replace." A p rotest t o t he " C a l l t o A r m s " W S S A s ays no to w ar BY JAMES SEBRING Pride Staff Writer Students against the War on Terror will raise their voices here at CSUSM on Thursday, March 19 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Forum Plaza next to Kellogg Library. The demonstration is part of a national movement to protest the continuing war on its sixth anniversary. The Women's Studies Student Association (WSSA) of CSUSM is sponsoring an anti-war demonstra- tion. The protest is in coordination with the United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ) organization, which is a coalition of over 1400 local and national organizations who are in protest of the Iraq War. Consuelo Martinez, Student President of WSSA says, "The demonstration is one of many actions taking place throughout the country. Students will participate in a mock "die-in" as a symbolic reminder of lives lost during the Iraq war. The "die-in" demonstration was started a couple of years ago with the Progressive Activist Network (PAN)." War is not just about one country's cost in money and body count. Currently, the US has lost over 5,000 Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan, but on the other side of the fence, approximately one million Iraqis died with another 4.5 million displaced from their homes. Cost estimates for the war run around $600 billion currently spent and estimates up to $3 trillion for afinalamount (UFPJ). "I feel as students, it is important that we remember the destruction that continues after six years of war," Martinez said, and encouraging all to come out and observe the demonstration. According to Martinez, "the demonstration will not be a rally, but a peaceful event for students to observe and participate in. There will be information tables with pamphlets about statistics on the war, resources for military families, and peace activism." This will be far differentfromthe Vietnam demonstrations of the 1960s with students clogging hallways and waving signs demanding change in the establishment.. The WSSA encourages students to come out and experience the "die in" as a way to personally experience the tragedy that has befallen the latest generation of young adults. Come out and find out what you can do to change the course of the war. For information regarding any special accommodation that you may require, contact the WSSA at wssa.csusm@gmail. com. C S U S M g ets a l esson in w omen's h istory BY GABRIELA MARTINEZ Pride Staff Writer March is here and it is the month of HERstory. CSUSM's Women's Center has organized a calendar of events to recognize women and what they have achieved, there are 15 events scheduled to take place throughout the entire month. Programming and Events Specialists for the Women's Center, Phylisa Wisdom (2009) says, "Women are often left out of mainstream history, so March being women's herstory month is a time to be able to appreciate women's contributions in history and have more program- ming. for the learning center." Herminia Ramirez, Community Outreach Specialist for the Women's Center and editor of their newspaper The Rag, adds that these events highlight things that are happening to women now. Ramirez says, the March 5 event 'Women in Latin American Politics, is information that is still happening and is still relevant. Ramirez follows by saying "Some of them are developing nations still, it is important to see what women are doing or what they should be doing." The Women in Latin American Politics event took place Thursday, March 5 during University ths Hour in Markstein Hall 101. Cynthia Chavez Metower leading the discussion touched on topics like quotas. She stated that third world countries have said that there is a quota of a limit that 30% of candidates must be women for both the upper and lower Housing. She continued to explain that this does not mean that 30% of women will be elected. It simply means that 30% must stand to be elected. Metower says, "indeed there are women who are capable and usually it's not the matter of whether you can find qualified women, but it's rather trying to change the structures of discrimination. The UniversityVoice Photos by Kevin Chatham /Pride Staff Writer structures have kept them from running." She mentioned that the effectiveness of the quotas depends largely on the nature of the countries electoral system, but that they work best where the laws are as specific as possible and there aren't loops holes in which they can get around and say no* The 50-minute presentation touched on today's important political areas, and allowed room towards the end for students to ask questions. For students who politics do not spark an interest in them should consider attending one of the many more remaining events. Wisdom is trilled for this semester's events, she says, "The cool thing about this semester is that there is such a wide range of events, that there really is something for everybody. You do get people with different majors and with different interests.. .they can come for support or for information if it's an academic event... the nice thing is we draw all kinds of people in." Upcoming Women's HERstory events to look forward to include: "Feminist Arts and the Maternal" in Commons 206 as well as "Women in Islam" in Mark 103, both events occur during University Hour at 12 p.m. today, March 17. i m " Did the time change hit home?"

Another way Photo courtesy of www.newtosandiego.com to celebrate St. Patrick's Day happens in Chicago when the city turns the Chicago River green. Since the early 1960's the city of Chicago has dyed the water in the Chicago River to celebrate this holiday. Many cities have tried this attempt with their local bodies of water but have failed to do so. Chicago locals believe that a little leprechaun comes in and helps with the process as the color dye is actually orange and not green. When the dye hits the water it appears orange, but give it a moment or two and it magically appears the perfect shade of Irish green. This is where locals believe the little leprechaun appears and comes in to help. For our local celebrations, San Diego has its own way of recognizing this holiday. This year, the city of San Diego hosted its 29 annual St. Patrick's Day parade on March 14th.

MOGIL Pride Staff Writer Barbie® has been a role model for girls around the world for half a century, and still hasn't aged a day. Her status as a role model is confirmed on license plate holders all over. A rough translation of the message reads, "I wanna be Barbie, the little (woman) has everything." Through fifty years of ageless, good living, this highly coveted doll of a woman does seem to have everything. Even as the original Material Girl, through the years she has given much more than she has gotten. She has given three generations of young girls the confidence to pursue anything and everything in life they can imagine. When Astronaut Barbie® was introduced in 1985, it was hard to imagine that one day, and very soon at that, women would be an important part of the NASA space program. And while she has pursued equality for women in a down to earth fashion, the manner in which she has done so is fitting for royalty. While many would consider her the Queen of the dolls, Barbie® has never forgotten her purpose, and has always watched after her loyal subjects with a gentle touch" of noblesse oblige. Barbie® has matured gracefully and with a quiet sophisticatiofi. She they celebrated the 50 birthday of Barbara 'Barbie®' Millicent Roberts by "throwing a pinkcarpet birthday bash at her real Maiibu Dream House®." According to myfoxla.com, "The guest list included model Heidi Klum, singer Katy Perry and actresses Ginnifer Goodwin, Holly Robinson Peete, Melissa Joan Hart and Elizabeth Berkley for a soiree hosted by 'event planner to the stars' Colin Cowie." But the party doesn't stop there. Mattel also says that "After Maiibu, the Barbie® Dream House® travels to The Palms in Las Vegas, where The Palms' Hot Pink Suite will be transformed into the Barbie™ Suite, opening in May 2009." Throughout 2009 celebrations will be held in honor of Barbie® around the world in all the major fashion centers. So you can expect to see her in New York City, Paris, Milan, Sydney, Tokyo and more. In this world Barbie® party, Mattel has even created a customized pink Nissan Micra convertible which gives buyers the opportunity to live the same top down driving fun that Barbie® has enjoyed in her pink Corvette. After all, if you really want to be Barbie®, why not take a spin in your very own Barbie® Nissan. Just maybe, in the end, you'll start seeing license plates holders that say "I wanna be you!" th Photo courtesy ofAssociated Press Heidi Kium in the Maiibu Barbie closet admiring the Barbie shoe collection is no longer the toy of a young girl that she was in 1959. She has blossomed into a woman that major fashion designers pursue, seeking to have their names associated with the most popular doll in history. The short list of haute couture fashion designers who have designed for her includes Bob Mackie, Versace* Escada, Giorgio Armani, Kate Spade, Nolan Miller, Ralph Lauren and many more. As Barbie® matured, she kept young girls loyal into their adulthood with these and other fabulous, limited edition Barbie® dolls. Outgrowing her original limited role as a childhood plaything, she has become a highly sought after and treasured collectable. Women who have grown up with Barbie® have not only found their place in the world with her help, they have made a place in their hearts, lives and homes for her. Her success seems particularly well earned. Perhaps Barbie's® good fortune is due in large part to the company she keeps. Her employer/promoter Mattel placed 7 on the list of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens 2009 list by thecro.com (Corporate Responsibility Officer). Earlier in the year, Forbes ranked Mattel 48 on their list of their annual list of the "100 Best Companies to Work For." After all, you are judged by the company you keep. There is no doubt that Mattel appreciates Barbie's contributions to their success. To honor her success, on March 9 , 2009 Mattel announced that th th th Federal funding now available for embryonic stem cell research BY SANDRA CHALMERS Senior Staff Writer On March 9, President Barack Obama declared the start of a new scientific era for Americans. President Obama signed an executive order to revoke the Bush administration's federal restrictions on funding stem cell research thus now opening doors to doctors and researchers for scientific exploration through the use of embryonic stem cells. "Today, more than ever before, science holds the key to our survival as a planet and our security and prosperity as a nation. Its time we once again put science at the top of our agenda and work to restore America's place as the world leader in science and technology," said Obama in his speech as he introduced his new Presidential Executive Order, "Removing Barriers to Responsible Scientific Research Involving Human Stem Cells." The Bush's administration limited embryonic stem cell research for eight years, due to ethical and moral opposition making some feel as though American health advances were put on hold. "Federal funding will make it easier for labs to do research, with only private funding there are less resources and the process will inevitably go much slower, so hopefully we will see results that can benefit patients quicker," said Anna Hasselberg, a CSUSM biology professor.

This could be the best comedy of the year. It stars to fresh comedy actors who have great chemistry in the trailer. I like the idea that this film might avoid the over sexuality of a film such as "Forgetting Sarah Marshall." I hope this film about male bonding can hit the heights of other comedy classics such as "Swingers." * W h a t to S ee o n D V D Read Before V iewing BY BLAINE H.

So it is no surprise that Dana Newton, the Annual Events and Traditions Specialist for C.A.B., expected big results hosting the 2nd Annual Cougar Idol competition this month. There were a few differences from that of the television show and the C.A.B event at the Clarke Field House Grand Salon: there was no crazy lights show, no chaotic weeping girls, no huge stage, and no massive crowd ready to roar at the celebrity judges. However, the main elements were present: the contestants, a mini stage, a competitive yet supportive crowd, 3 judges, and a host who was the complete opposite of Mr. "Seacrest out." All eight participants made it to thefinalswith their stage faces ready to convince judges, Ryan McRae, Marilyn McWilliams, and Lisa Dickinson that they were the next Cougar Idol. Standing 4 feet 10 inches, Stephanie Abayan took home the big prize, $250 Ticketmaster gift card with her version of Dreamgirls "And I'm Telling You." No one would ever expect such a big voice to come out of Abayan, of whom some would believe and say is a small package. After judging the petite performer, Ryan McRae says, "You should be 8 foot 7". Photo by Jamie Inarda Amanda Pollak followed in 2nd Photo by Jamie Inarda Place and received a $100 Gas Card after performing Shania Twains "Honey, I'm Home." Idol attendee Kayla Robinson was impressed with Pollak's song choice saying "She brought some life back into Cougar idol after a run of sad songs." Singing a cappella was no problem for 3rd Place winner Akeisa Abercrombie took last prize, a $50 Gift Card to Best Buy for performing Jazmine Sullivan's "Lions, Tigers, and Bears." Rahim Baker compared this year's competition to the last saying "They did a much better job. They did great. Everyone was more confident this year." There is no doubt that this year's Cougar Idol was a complete success. Participants came with their stage faces. ASI CAB Cougar Idol will continue to be a great event that showcases another CSUSM big talent. carries a heavy, minimalist rock vibe. Hansard calls out in the first few bars of the song. Every instrument proclaims its forceful signature until a calmed hush lets Hansard's unusually gentle voice tell a story about a woman he loves. An acoustic guitar lines the foggy atmosphere until a bass drum pushes the singular voice into a chorus featuring Irglova's mild soprano harmonies. The song's chaotic conclusion releases in a violin-tinged swirl, falling into a still lull. The Frames are authentic Irish rock and roll leaving the fairness up to the Isle herself. Surely, they wouldn't be caught dead drinking green beer. The Frames BY AMY SALISBURY Faces and Places Editor It's only fair for me to talk about an Irish band this week in honor of St. Patrick. The only thing more cliché than wearing green on the 17 would be to talk about "U2" as the end-all be-all Irish export. Sorry, Bono. No need for you this time around. My brain required little wracking before I settled on Ireland's "The Frames." The Dublin-based quintet formed in 1990 and remains highly influential within the city's music scene. th Glen Hansard, Colm Mac Con Iomaire, Joe Doyle, Rob Bochnik, and Johnny Boyle are the current line-up for The Frames. Hansard founded the band with mostly different members, including bassist-turned-film director, John Carney. Let's assume you've been living under a rock since the 2008 Oscars. So that means you haven't heard of Carney's award-winning film, "Once." In 2007, the film inadvertently stole the show at the Sundance Film Festival. Hansard stars alongside Czech pianist, Marketa Irglova, as a struggling Irish musician who falls in love with a Czech immigrant. Sure, the storyline sounds bland and overdone on paper, but the film's musical merit garnered an Oscar for Best Original Song, "Falling Slowly." Hansard and Irglova wrote all of the music for the film while several of the songs were fresh recordings of The Frames' tracks. "Falling Slowly" originally appeared on The Frames' 2006 release, "The Cost." Hansard and Irglova pared down the track to fit with the romance of Carney's film.

I know that it was up to me to make the plans, but I really thought that Cole would be able to handle making a reservation. Oh well, now three days later I am following my ex-boyfriend into the woods to try and find the two morons who decided to get lost while attempting to find a telephone. At least I will finally get some alone time with him. "So I guess it's just me and you." He glares at me with the look I have become all too familiar with these past few years before finally speaking to me. "I don't really feel too much like talking okay, let's just find the guys and get back," he says. I sigh. I wonder how he went from being so in love with me to •being so cold. It seems like just yesterday that we were back in high school and crazy in love. Then without so much of a word he disappears and leaves it up to me tofillin the blanks. Typical of him to run from dealing with his emotions. "Well, it's already eerie enough out here in this darkness. I'm not going to just walk in silence. We can talk about whatever you like and besides I don't bite in case you have forgotten." I let out a nervous smile in his direction but quickly turn away from him before I lose my nerve. Evan looks away just as quickly and says, "Well that's not how I remember it." Why is it that he is being so difficult? I take a moment to look around at the surrounding forest and take in the beauty of the moonlight that is now lighting our path. This moment seems so perfect, but it feels so wrong. I've waited three years for this chance and now here I am letting myself completely fall apart. "Well you know it's been three years, Evan. I am clearly not the same girl I was in high school and you well you are definitely not the Evan that I fell in love with." Evan stops dead in his tracks and freezes. "Sheesh, I wasn't trying to upset you," I say. Evan moves hisfingersto my lips. I forgot how his touch sent shivers down my spine and I hear my heart beat speed up as he speaks. "Would you be quiet, I hear something in those bushes over there," Evan whispers. He points towards a bush about 200 feet in front of us and, even in the distance, I can see the bush moving around. "Why, are you scared?" I laugh to Word(s Gauche \ try to hide the growing fear inside of me. "Now is not the time Paige." He steps in front of me as if to shield me from the danger that is lurking before us. I seize the moment, wrap my arm around his, and pull myself closer. He does not pull away like I was expecting him to. "I'm scared," I manage to whisper. For the first time since we went on this trip he turns and looks me straight in the eyes. He pulls me closer to him and whispers in my ear, " I won't let anything happen to you I promise." Bork / To ruin a chance at; to botch; fail, mess up.

Photo by Gabriela Martinez BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Senior Staff Writer Kona Brewing Company brews Fire Rock Pale Ale in Kona, Hawaii. Father Cameron Healy and son Spoon Khalsa founded the brewery in 1994. The brewery has three main brews which are Big Wave Golden Ale, Longboard Islander Lager, and Fire Rock Pale Ale. The company brews other specialty beers throughout the year. The company mainly sells in Hawaii, but also sells in the United States and Japan. The brewery operates two pubs and claims to have utilized recycled parts from surrounding islands such as a roof and bar table for its brew pub. Fire Rock Pale Ale can be found at multiple locations such as BevMo and Albertson's. Henry's Farmers Market retails a six pack of 12 fluid Ounce bottles for $8.49. The packaging refers to Kona's homeland. The container portrays two tourists taking a snapshot of an ocean liner passing in front of a slightly active volcano. Yellows, reds, andrichbrowns define the colors utilized. A yellow bottle caps with company's logo seals a pale ale with 6.0% alcohol by volume. Unique to the brand, underneath the bottle cap defines an English word in Hawaiian. For example, reef in English is laupapa in Hawaiian. The beer pours smooth generating a quarter inch head. Despite the small head, a semi-thick lancet remains for the duration of consumption. A beautiful orange brown hue glows from the glass. The four time winning award brew exudes a sweet honey aroma. The pale ale enters extremely soft before an exciting crash of malts and hops rejuvenate the mouth, tongue, and taste buds. The brewery suggests pairing the beer with heavy dishes such as barbeque, but they also assert the brew can be enjoyed with chicken and salads. If traveling to Hawaii seems currently out of the question, grab Kona's Fire Rock Pale Ale and enjoy, responsibly that is. Aloha! Pizzeria Luigi Real New York style p izza in San Diego BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer In a nation filled with chain pizza companies, Pizzeria Luigi is a fresh taste of the Italian pie. Located at 1137 25th Street on the corner of 25th & B Street in San Diego, it is worth the drive down the 1-15 after a day of midterms and lectures. Pizzeria Luigi opened just over four years ago and has grown ever since. Manager and CSUSM senior Kevin Gist says its popularity has grown over the years, adding that business has doubled compared to when owner Luigi Agostini opened the restaurant. Pizzeria Luigi specializes in Italian cuisinej especially New York style thin crust pizza. The thin pizza is full of flavor. A plain cheese pizza is delicious by itself and they have 18 other toppings available, including pepperoni, pesto, and other meats and vegetables. The restaurant offers one size pizza that costs $13 for cheese and each topping is $1.50. Each pizza is enough for three to four people. They also offer a selection of specialty pizza running between $14.50 and $18.50. The 'Mona Lisa' pizza consists of pepperoni, sausage, bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, and black olives. This specialty pizza is savory and full of great flavor. The homemade thin crust holds up well considering the weight of all the ingredients and tastes great with the homemade sauce, which consists of sweet tomato and smooth basil flavor. The restaurant has other flavor filled options besides pizza. Their menu consists of pasta dishes, salads, and Italian stuffed sandwiches such as the stromboli and calzone. All have exceptional taste and are a great bargain running around $7. Weekend nights are busy, so the time concerned diner might consider going on a weekday.
