B Y KRISTINA S ETH Night classes still require flexibility B Y EVELYN CHOROSER T Tf you're planning to get your degree by attending night school at CSUSM, your I options are somewhat limited at the moment."Students need to be quite flexible to -Mdcomplete a course of study at night," said Therese Baker, CSUSM's Evening Degree Program faculty coordinator. "There aren't that many class choices available, so night students need to select required classes when they are offered.'? Evening degrees are offered in history, literature and writing, social sciences, women's studies, education and business administration. In addition, the College of Business Administration offers an evening degree program with options in accounting, high technology management and service sector management. One-third of its courses start at 5 p.m. or later. But it's not an easy route, Baker warns, adding that many students have asked about making more courses available at night and on weekends. " They'd also like to have sets of courses that could meet all their major requirements, but it's not always possible," she adds. It is possible to complete certain majors at night within four semesters . .. but only if a student has fulfilled all lower-division requirements, including the foreign language, and can take four or five courses each semester. But most evening students have full-time jobs and family responsibilities, which limits the number of classes they are able to handle each semester. Normally, achieving a degree via night classes takes seven or eight terms, Baker says. But those taking three courses each term should be able to complete the upper-division degree requirements within five or six semesters, she adds. Students attending night classes have to be flexible. "I pick the class I want without concern for the time it's offered," said Debbie Holderby who is taking two classes at night this semester and one in the late afternoon. She is able to adjust her work schedule to meet the class requirements. * Don Hall, who works full-time and is trying to get accepted into a graduate studies program in literature and writing, said it's not easy to find the few classes he needs at night. Kathryn Moors' work schedule allows her to attend one early morning class as well as evening classes. "I prefer night classes as they are more relaxed and the atmosphere is more mature," she said. "But, I don't like having to make two trips to school." Added Laura Hopkins, another full-time worker during the day: "As a transferring junior this fall, it was difficult to find two available classes that were required for my major. Many of the classes needed were closed before my orientation and eligibility to register." Said Baker: "We are hoping to begin to deliver a more focused, concentrated program by next fall. It will guarantee to students that if they follow a pattern of courses in the evenings and on Saturdays, they could graduate within four to five semesters."

Santa Fe attorney Robert Castille, a former high school t eacher w ho is r epresenting the school board, called the Cordovas' material "insulting," and added that the decision to fire them stemmed from the sisters' unwillingness to compromise. "The Cordovas have mishandled teaching this sensitive subject matter," he added. After the teachers were officially voted out on July 7 by a board vote of 3-2, the sisters decided to go to court. A suit challenging the dismissal of Nadine already has been filed, and another on behalf of Patsy will be filed soon. One of their lawyers, Daniel Yohalem, said, "They have a very solid case for denial of dueprocess rights." Both sisters remain determined. "We were doing a fantastic job. That's the saddest part," said Nadine. Added Patsy: " I've done npthing wrong. I followed the kids' direction. My regret is that I didn't do enough of it." Anti-abortionists target schools B Y D EBBIE HOLDERBY Anti-abortion p rotestors calling themselves "representatives of Jesus Christ" are targeting area campuses. CSUSM's turn came on Sept 30 when the group parked a white van on campus displaying a h uge p hoto of an aborted fetus. But the demonstration appeared to offend both p ro-life a nd pro-choice students and staffers equally. CSUSM's S tudent A ffairs o ffice received numerous c omplaints a bout t he photo, with m any s tudents u rging college officials to ask the protestors to leave. Some expressed concern about the effect the photo may have had on children. One of the protestors, a woman carrying a large graphic poster, came to the Commons area at noontime and handed out literature while students were eating lunch. Since she did not have university approval to be on campus, Public Safety officers walked her to the Student Affairs o ffice to fill out forms so she could remian on campus. When she refused to fill them out and refused to leave the campus, officers escorted her off school grounds. All the while, said Lt. Alicia Smith, the woman was "screaming and yell- ing" at the top of her lungs, prompting students and staff to leave their classrooms and offices to find out what was going t>n. While the woman screamed, a second protestor filmed the event on a hand-held video camera. The protestors then stood outside the university on state property near Craven Way f or an hour, shouting at pass^ ^ g t f f l K ersby and waving the poster. mk " I w as o ffended a nd • V M / e mbarassed," s aid o ne ^ • d J ^ H CSUSM who is pro-life. "I V I A ^ B wouldn't want people to associate me with what w ^ ^ P they did." Though stressing t hat t he a ntiabortion protestors were a cting w ithin t heir F irst Amendment rights to free speech, Public Safety officials said the woman who yelled and screamed may have been in violation of a state law providing, in part, that no one may interfere with the peaceful conduct of activities in a school. The protestors have also demonstrated at other North County college and high school campuses. Police at nearby Palomar College said they have appeared near that campus several times recently. "They park their van on Mission Avenue near the campus," said one officer. "They also have shown up at San Diego State University." Police said Palomar students have complained to college officials about the protestors. Public Safety officials said the Sept. 30 demonstration was the only one at CSUSM. cQ WOULD $45,000+ HELP WITH COLLEGE? I You can earn more than $18,000 during a standard Army Reserve enlistment..

Whatever causes our stress, bad workday, bad school day, bad hair day, all seem so monumental. But h ow important are those stresses when we put them into perspective? Too often, we get stressed out with l ife's i nconveniences b ecause w e've p ut t oo much importance and attention on them. I t's not until a real crisis occurs to a loved one that we realize what it really means to have a terrible day. I found that out recently as I hurried across my c hurch's parking lot. An acquaintance, Karen Baker, stopped me and asked me to offer my prayers for her youngest son who was involved in an auto accident a few days earlier. Chris Baker, 22, was in critical condition with massive injuries. I knew Chris from the days when he and my son played on the same soccer team f or many seasons, and I had seen him and talked to him many times in church. Our two families were friends. What do you say to someone whose child is hanging onto life by a thread? I discovered there i sn't really very much, b esides o ffering s ympathy.

The Pride pride@mailhostl.c �Halloween's auspicious beginnings T T "TTalloween is not "officially" a I I holiday. No day off is given, and J L J Lno federal decree is proclaimed. Yet, Halloween has become one of the most important and widely celebrated festivals not only on the contemporary American calendar, but in the world. Halloween, or 'The day of the Dead,' as it is more aptly referred to in many cultures incorporates recognition of death as a concept with rituals that remember the deaths of individuals. The origins of this celebration derive from the ancient Celtic (Irish, Scottish, and Welsh) festival called Samhain. Samhain was the New Year's Day of • the Celts, celebrated on 1 November. It was also a day of the dead, a time when it was believed that the souls of those who had died during the year were allowed access to the land of the dead. It was related to the season: by Samhain, the crops should be harvested and animals brought in from the distant fields. Many traditional beliefs and customs around the world are associated with Samhain, most notable that night was the time of the wandering dead, the practice of leaving offerings of food and drink to masked and costumed revelers, and the lighting of bonfires, continued to be practiced on 31 of October, known as the Eve of All Saints, the Eve of all Hallows, or even Hallow Even.

Over the course of time, the spirits of Samhain, once thought to be wild and powerful, were deemed by the Catholic church to be something much worse: evil. The church maintained that the gods and goddesses and other spiritual beings of traditional religions were diabolical deceptions, that the spiritual forces that people had experienced were real, but they were manifestations of the Devil, the Prince of Liars, who misled people toward the worship of false idols. Thus, the customs associated with Halloween came to include representations of ghosts and human skeletons, symbols of the dead, the devil, witches, and other malevolent and evil creatures. The custom of trick-or-treating, however, is thought to have originated not with the Irish Celts, but with a ninth-century European custom called "souling". On November 2, All Souls Day, early Christians would walk from village to village begging for "soul cakes," made from square bread with currents. The more soul cakes the beggars would receive, the more prayers they would promise to say on behalf of the dead relatives of the donors. At the time, it was believed that the dead remained in limbo for a time after death, and that prayer, even by strangers, could expedite a soul's passage to heaven. 26 29 52 1r &• B Y DAVID JOHNSON Thursday N ovember 6, 1997 11:00 A M - 1:00 P M Career Center C RA 4201 61 Puzzto by Alex V aughn 27 Year's record 30 Modern ink source 31 Singer Zadora 32 Item aboard a merchant ship 33 Awards for Sheryl Crow 34 Overhaul a soundtrack 35 Jean, for one 36 Witness's reply 37 Wonderwork 39 Pequod hand 40 Bell site 41 Prefix with life or wife 43 Grab 44 Tremulous 45 Park in Maine 47 Issue materiel. 49 Toronto Maple 51 Resurgently 52 Swiss eminence 53 Pigeon sound 55 Kingdome scores, for short Answers to any three clues in this puzzle are available by touch-tone phone: 1 -900-420-5656 (75* per minute) Annual subscriptions are available for the best of Sunday crosswords from the last 50 years: 1 -888-7-ACROSS. ijp CSUSM University of <§an Dicgp Lawyer's Assistant Program 5998 Alcaia Park San Diego.

Day of the Dead? Sounds gruesome! What the heck is it and why would CAPS do this? Dia de los Muertos is one of the most important and festive holidays throughout Mexico. It is a tradition built f rom pre- Columbian as w ell as C hristian sources.Long ago, it was thought that this was the time when the souls of the dead came to earth to visit, and they were welcomed with great joy and celebration. Besides community events such as parades and d ancing, f amilies c onstuct a ltars upon which are placed pictures, mementos, and favorite foods of the loved ones who have passed on. This is how the memories of our loved ones are made joyous, how fondly they are remembered. The altars are decorated with incense, flowers, candles and many other objects, including skeletons and candy or papier mache skulls. In our hearts we also thank them for what they gave us during their lifetime. Dia de los Muertos is a wonderful occasion. It is a way that the Mexican culture(s) confront death, which, according to Octavio Paz, "...revenges us against life, stripping it of all its vanities and pretensions and showing it for what it is: some bare bones and a d readful grimace." In the words of C APS' Director, Dr. Carlene Smith, "CAPS' mission involves addressing the psychological needs of students by promoting wellness of mind, body and spirit. The various peoples of the world have all developed strategies f or achieving psychological health that are prescribed in cultural ritual. In presenting the Dia de los Muertos event, CAPS affirms the wisdom with which other cultures deal with the inevitable challenges of l ife and promote health." < • mKm ~, * B || °•r • 1;! We invite you to join us in this celebration. From 10 until 2 on the Founders Plaza on the 3rd, there will be altars set up by various campus and community groups. On these altars, you will find pictures and me mentos of loved ones who have passed away, along with their favorite foods, music, flowers, candles, and incense. These altars are festive tributes to those we have: See how well we remember you! How we recall all that you gave us in your life! How lucky we have been ! At noon, there will be a brief presentation by Linda Amador, a member of our staff, about the significance of the altars. At 12:30, Professor Bonnie Bade of the Liberal Studies Program will give a presentation on the Mexican tradition surrounding this holiday. Join us!

D iscounting his b rush with d eath a f ew months ago and his recent p erformance f or the Pope* this is not the s ame man w ho made " Blowin' in the W ind" something of a folk anthem. Bob Dylan is aging f ast, and on his new album, "Time Out of M ind," he shows that he is aging gracefully and accepts that he is no longer the i nfluence he once was. If you a ren't f amiliar with D ylan's w ork,' you are missing out on some of the most influential rock music and poetry of the 20th century. Albums like "Highway 61 Revisited" and " Blonde on B londe," are timeless masterpieces of the 1960s, and necessary listening f or anyone who considers him or herself a music fan of any genre. But, as even the staunchest Dylan f ans admit, he has put out some pretty lousy al- PAGE 1 0 T H E P RIDE Still Bio win' in the Wind b ums f rom a bout 1980 o n, with only a couple of exceptions. Which brings us to "Time Out of Mind," which is D ylan's best album since 1989's spotty "Oh Mercy," and his first of original songs since 1991 ' s dismal "Under a Red Sky." Recorded before his recent illness, "Time Out of M ind" shows that Dylan still has the talent that made him a legend. His f ocus has shifted, f rom spokesman of an entire generation to a f ringe celebrity unrecognized by a majority of today's youth. H is v oice s ounds w eathered and s trained at times, but determined and compelling at the same time. The a lbum's first track, "Love Sick,' is an atmospheric and bitter tone-setter. " I'm sick of love, and I 'm,in the thick of it," s ings D ylan on t he s ong's c horus. As a whole, the album has a very bluesy feel to it. The 16-minute "highlands" is an examination of D ylan's life f rom his point of view today, and shows that he is not necessarily c omfortable with his f ading visibility and a ge, but h as c ome t o understand that he cannot relive his glory days. Dylan is not the type to bluster about in his mid-50s like the Rolling Stones do today. D ylan's strength has always come in h is honesty, and that is something it seems he will always retain. Dylan was such an overachiever early in his career that everything else he does can only pale in comparison, and he will never be able to relive his glory days. All he can d o is keep on going, and that seems to be a looming theme in the album* Musically, producer Daniel Lanois (best known as the producer f or U2) helps create a strong yet unobtrusive sonic atmosphere, and allows D ylan's voice to carry the album, which works wonderfully. "Time Out of M ind" is an essential f or the Dylan aficionado, as both another chapter in hi&musical library and as the triumphant return of a legend. It is also his most accessible album in y ears, f or the Dylan curious. But if y ou've never been exposed to early Dylan, raid the local music store's used L P section f or a couple of gems. You w on't be disappointed. The high cost of coffee: B Y J OHN RODRIGUEZ The pictures seem out of place in an upscale c offee shop. Perhaps you have noticed them as you sat waiting in your local Starbucks f or a c afe latte or f rappucino. T he h uge, poster-size photos hanging on the walls show workers, likely f rom Central America, picking c offee berries f rom trees or sorting c offee beans on long tables. The images were intended to lend atmosphere to the store, but maybe you wondered whether there were stories behind the workers. Sandra Benitez brings their world t o our eyes in her new novel, "Bitter G rounds" (Hyperion Press. 4 44 pp.). Profiled in the last issue of the Pride, Benitez shared the insights and motivations, which led her to write of her recollections growing u p in El Salvador prior to that c ountry's civil war in the ' 80s. The fictional story t hat u nfolds i n "Bitter G rounds" c ombines her e xperience as a member of the Sal vadoran upper class with A review of Bitter Grounds the stories of her f amily's campesino (peasant) servants. "Bitter Grounds" is a episodic story told through the lives of three successive generations of women from two families, the P rietos ( Mercedes, J acinta, and Maria-Mercedes) and the Contreras (Elena, Magda, and Flor). The Prietos work as domestic s ervants f or t he u pper c lass C ontreras. Benitez draws parallels and divisions between the d isparate cultural classes. The Prietos are Pipil Indians who, at the onset of the story in 1932, still speak Nahautl, the ancient language of the Aztecs. As with many Indian groups throughout the Americas, they live in poverty, exist on subsistence crops like corn and beans, and s uffer cultural discrimination and injustice. Their main source of income comes f rom laboring on vast c offee plantations f or rich landowners who often underpay them. The Contreras own one of the most prosperous plantations in El Salvador. Benitez portrays them as savvy business people who stay ahead of the market through accurate forecasting, innovation and diversity. But she also portrays thefn as compassionate people, particularly the women, who are not totally oblivious to the plight of their servants. Limited friendships within the c onfines of class division form between the corresponding g enerations of P rieto a nd Contreras women. Both families endure trials and tribulations t hroughout the n ovel, which is set f rom 1932 through 1977. T he women of the two families deal with emotional heartache over such issues as spousal relations and family strife, although admittedly oil different levels. They must also deal with the growing d omestic violence, which t hreatens their security and hurtles their tiny nation toward an uncertain future. Historically accurate, Benitez uses the events occurring in El Salvador to provide the basic timeframe f or her story. All of the described events, f rom la m atanza (the m assacre) at the beginning of the book to the government seizure of plantations near the end, really happened. It lends authenticity to the stories presented in "Bitter Grounds." Reminiscent of the Amy T an's " The Joy Luck C lub," the main thrust of B enitez's novel c oncerns the mother/daughter relationships w ithin t he P rietos a nd t he Contreras. Although their lives o ften overlap, Benitez m anages t o prevent confusion distinguishing the generations by presenting their respective lives in serial fashion, r ather than t he o ut-of-sequence m anner employed by Tan. B enitez cleverly uses a fictional radio telenovela (Spanish soap opera) to parallel and forecast the lives of her main characters throughout the book. "Bitter G rounds" uses irony and fate to link the lives of the Prietos and Contreras see Bitter Grounds page 11 �Bitter Grounds continued from page 10 tighter and tighter as the novel progresses. Despite their cultural and class differences, the families' futures intertwine until the f inal climatic convergence* which binds them to a common violent fate. Benitez masterfully writes this scene in a manner which stuns the reader, a la A lfred Hitchcock. Although "Bitter G rounds" dabbles in magic realism, the h allmark of H ispanic literature, it does not d o so nearly on the level of Rudolfo Anaya's "Bless Me Ultima" or Isabel Allende's "House of Spirits," or any number of novels written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Benitez's professed favorite author and literary influence. B ut, t his d oes not d iminish " Bitter Grounds." Rather, Benitez fashions both the characters and plot to a level that compels r eaders t o i mmerse t hemselves into the story. Fish House Vera Cruz offers fine dining If you're looking f or elegant dining in a casual atmosphere with, uh, life like surroundings, The Fish House Vera Cruz i s the perfect choice. Located in San M arcos' Restaurant Row, The Fish House takes its name seriously. It's a dimly lit, grotto-style restaurant with huge aquariums forming most of its inner walls and partitions. But the inhabitants are a far cry from goldfish and seaweed. Sand sharks, lion and clown fish, an octopus and even a huge, zebra-striped eel make up the more interesting sights p atrons can gaze upon while dining. Despite all this grandeur, the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. Jeans and a T shirts are just as acceptable as suits and ties. The food corresponds well with its surroundings. The menu consists completely of fish. There are no chicken or beef copouts. There is also a w onderful selection of wines to complement all dishes. T he restaurant is currently featuring a Chardonnay called La Crema f or a v e r y good price. It has a light, fruity, almost buttery flavor that goes very well with fish. It is honestly the best wine I have ever tasted. There's a small list of five or six appetizers to choose from. T he Oysters Rockefeller, in particular, is outstanding, rich enough to please any connossieun Entrees consist mainly of f resh fish, but there are shellfish options as well as seafood salads offered. But the primary focus is on fish. For side dishes, you can pick up to three, r ange f rom rice pilaf and steamed vegetables t o a green salad and soup. The swordfish is a good bet, as is the red snapper. Both are grilled to perfection and basted with a light garlic-butter sauce. The portions are good-sized and you won't leave still hungry. But, j ust in case you still have room, Fish House has a modest selection of classic desserts. Nothing too exciting, just your basic cheesecake, chocolate ganache and berry pies. However, all of this excellence doesn't come cheaply. The Fish House Vera Cruz is not a place the average student can afford m ore than once every few months. Appetizers range from $5.95 to $8.95. Entrees start at $8.95 and can go as high as $22.95. For desserts, expect to pay $3.95 to $5.95. The La Crema Chardonnay wine was priced at $21 a bottle. Altogether, it is a meal that can lighten your wallet considerably. But it is well worth it. T he food and atmosphere combines to create an unforgettable dining experience. You definitely get your money's worth. R eservations are not needed (or even taken f or parties of less than eight). The next time you want to take a few steps up f rom Taco Bell or McDonald's, you might China Wokery : A little tradition and a lot of flavor B Y A MY H UDSON There's a new restaurant in t own. T he China Wokery has recently opened its doors f or business. It is located at Old California Restaurant Row off of S an M arcos B lvd. T he s erving s ize of each m aindish platter can feed at least three people and the prices , are very reasonable. The assorted appetizer platter is an excellent way to start off dinner. This platter feeds two individuals and provides a sample of egg rolls, dumplings, spare ribs, lemon chicken and fried wontons. The price is $8.95. China Wokery has specialty platters such as Sesame Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Pork Hunan Style and T reasures of t he S ea. These platters run f rom $8.95-13.50. In addition to their specialties, China Wokery also has a large assortment of soups, salads and side orders. The price for these dishes range from $4.95-8.95. For those of you who are vegetarian, d on't count this p lace out yet. Not o nly d o t hey h ave s everal s eafood dishes, but they also dedicate a portion of t heir m enu t o vegetarian p latters. T hese i nclude S aut£ed B roccoli w ith G arlic S auce, Tofu and Mixed Vegetables, and Vegetarian Moo-Shu. Prices are $7.50 per plate. The ambiance is characteristic of a Chinese restaurant. There are many artifacts f rom the Chinese culture which decorate the walls. The restaurant has vaulted ceilings and wooden beams that allow f or a more open experience. I t's a semi-casual setting and a great place to impress a date. The wait staff is very attentive and courteous, I highly recommend the China Wokery for either lunch or dinner. Lunch prices run from $5.958.50.

"Stupid White Men," was the best selling nonfiction book of 2002, according to bookreport.com. Erik Roper, vice president of External Affairs, was one of the key representatives from the Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) who helped make the decision on who would be speaking at this year's Intercultural Speaker Series. "Our school is not a very well known school, and by having him (Moore) as part of the Intercultural Speaker Series it will put us (Cal State San Marcos) on the map," Roper said.

ByJOHNSCRIPPS Pride StaffWriter Educated Bean, the coffee kiosk in Founder's Plaza, has been forced to stop selling espresso because Starbucks is coming to the new library. Starbucks, the international coffee chain, has negotiated a contract with CSUSM to setup in the ground floor of the new Kellogg Library, due to open next semester, to sell espresso exclusively. It was also agreed that Starbucks would have the espresso market to itself. "I was a little apprehensive to continue selling espresso," said Steve Mcintosh, the primary owner of the Educated Bean. Ever since the Starbucks opened up in the shopping center across the way, he had noticed a significant drop in espresso sales at his own booth. Because Starbucks will be moving on campus, Mcintosh is happy to let the espresso line go, as the profit level from those sales was becoming smaller and smaller. There are other benefits too, like reduced labor costs, since there had to be a minimum of two people in the booth when they were selling espresso in the past. According to Mcintosh, while the Educated Bean will no longer be selling espresso, it has been allowed to expand its line of wares. It will be selling a number of things that Starbucks will not be selling, such as an expanding line of cookies, chips, and a variety of fruit smoothies. They will continue to sell fair trade coffees, along with their chi latte's and chocolate drinks. With this vastly extended line of products comes a new multi-year contract and rates that have actually been lowered. Starbucks PR executive Nick Davis said, "Starbucks builds alliances with companies and organizations, such as California State University, San Marcos, that understand the value of Starbucks and are able to successfully deliver-the Starbucks experience to our customers. Starbucks does not provide information on the terms of its agreements, but we are very excited to be working with CSUSM to bring Starbucks store to the campus community." Biochemistry junior, Evan Delatorre said, "Starbucks will cost more. Students don't have that much money." Literature and. Writing professor Dr. Susan Fellows said, "I think they should be able to sell espresso. I find it absurd that there are not enough students to buy espresso from both places." Mcintosh also wanted to express his gratitude to the Foundation for their generosity. "I want people to know this was a good thing," Mcintosh said. "I think this is going to be a win-win situation. We've greatly appreciated the support we've received (from students and faculty) and hope it continues after Starbucks opens."

Poullard added, "It is probable that this location may need to change in the future if the area interferes with the normal conducting of university business." Greg Lukianoff of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) said, "Free speech zones should be the rule, not the exception. The university should have the courage to treat the entire campus as a free speech zone, not just a particular area." Lukianoff explained that the legal rationale behind the policy of the university is that they are able to authorize freedom of assembly in regard to time, place and manner, however, that it is morally wrong not to foster free speech on campus, especially in terms of a peaceful demonstration. "A lot of this is determined in collaboration with risk management and university police personnel," said Poullard.

"Moore offers a different perspective that is not offered in the mainstream media," Roper said. Moore's latest book that came out earlier this month titled, "Dude, Where's My Country?" already has a record breaking amount of orders nationwide, and within its first printing are one million copies. The book was written not only to reveal the truths about the Bush administration, but to also unseat President Bush, or "George of Arabia" according to Moore's book, indefinitely. In the book Moore speaks out against the war on Iraq, how Bush got elected, and his administration's policy in general. According to Roper, "He is leading by e xample...

Growth expectations for enrollment "Over the next 20 years our enrollment is expected to grow to be about 20,000." By T M JOHNSON Pride StafFWriter Over the past few years CSUSM has experienced an exuberant amount of growth. A growing campus means more applicants hoping to be accepted for f uture semesters. Classrooms will inevitably increase in size and registering will require a fight. Fortunately, this increase will not take place for a while. "Next year there will be no growth. During the y ^, ? 7; : , : * r month of November the Chancellors office will be revising growth expectations of all campuses for future years," said Richard Riehl, assistant vice president of Enrollment Services.

So what does Halloween mean to us, and how do we celebrate it? The word Halloween has its origin in the Catholic Church. It originated from "All Hollows Day" (or "All Saints Day") November 1, which is a Catholic day of observance to honor the saints. During the fifth century in Celtic Ireland, Oct. 31 was the offi cial day that summer ended. This holiday was known as Sam Hain (sow-en) -— the Celtic new year. On this day the spirits of all those who had died throughout the year come back in search of living bodies to possess for the next year. The Celtics believed that during this time, the laws of space an time were suspended allowing the spirit world to intermingle with the living. The living didn't want to be possessed therefore they extinguished the fires in their homes on the night of Oct. 31, making their home undesirable. They then dressed up in all sorts of ghoulish costumes parading around their neighborhood making noise and being as destructive as possible, attempting to frighten away spirits. Irish immigrants fleeing the Irish potato famine brought the Halloween custom to America around 1840.

Here are some words of wisdom from CSU San Marcos University Police Department for you and your children to have a safe Halloween. Please use common sense. To help you we have some safety tips. Costume Safety: • Use make-up or face paint instead of masks. If masks are used, make sure that they fit properly and have holes large enough for mouth and eyes. • Choose costumes that are marked flame retardant. • Wear light-colored clothing at night. Add reflective tape or reflectors to dark colored costumes. • Make props such as magic wands and swords out of cardboard, rather than metal or wood. • Be sure your costume is not too long to avoid tripping over it. • Carry a Flash Light. Before Trick-or-Treating: • Obtain flashlights with fresh batteries for all children and their escorts. • Plan to use only battery powered lanterns or chemical light-sticks in place of candles in decorations and costumes. • Review with your children the principle of "Stop-Drop-Roll", should their clothes catch on fire. • Openly discuss appropriate and inappropriate behavior at Halloween time. • Do not permit children to bicycle, roller-blade or skateboard. • Agree on a specific time when revelers must return home. • Take extra effort to eliminate tripping hazards on your porch and walkway. Check around your property for hazards to young children rushing from house to house. • Consider the safety of household pets during an evening of frightful sights and sounds. • Remind all household drivers to remain cautious and drive slowly throughout the community. While Trick-or-Treating: Never trick-or-treat alone. Older children should go in groups. Young children should always go trick-or-treating with an adult. Stay within the neighborhood and visit homes you know. Visit only houses where the lights are on. Accept treats only in the doorway. Never go into the house. Only accept wrapped or packaged candy. Be sure and say thank you for your treats. Never eat unwrapped candy, opened candy, fruit, or open beverages that are offered. Wait until you get home and your parents check your candy before you eat it. Use sidewalks and do not run. Be very cautious of strangers. Never enter a stranger's home or car for a treat. After Trick-or-Treating: Wait until children are home to sort and check treats. Though tampering is rare, a responsible adult should closely examine all treats and throw away any spoiled, unwrapped, or suspicious items. • No treats are to be eaten until they are thoroughly checked by an adult at home. All of the members of the University Police Department and The Pride wish you a Safe and Happy Halloween. FREE CHECKING Tell your bank the Jig is up.

I want to hear deep, soulful, victorious breaths," said Christina Allen as she coached the breathing techniques to a group of young women during an Ashtanga yoga class at the Clarke Field House. The group dwindled to a lean 15 students from the original 42 who began the free ASI Leisure/ Group Fitness class Sept. 29 for the fall semester. The remaining students, showing their resolve, have improved dramatically from the awkward giggly bunch they once were. Poses that previously seemed nearly impossible are now performed with ease and transitions that were absolutely impossible are now being attempted and sometimes actually achieved by the students. "I think (the class) is really progressing; everyone is really there and really present," Allen said. She has her own studio in San Marcos called Ashtanga Yoga East. Ashtanga yoga is one of the most active and physically Ashtanga students stretch their muscles while their instructor, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, watches. demanding forms of yoga. The aim of this practice is to generate heat in the body for the purpose of burning toxins, burning calories and becoming stronger and moreflexible.This is achieved by transitioning quickly from pose to pose in fluid motions. Practitioners also learn how to channel their energy and lower their stress levels by quieting their minds, breathing deeply and looking inward. "I think (yoga) is very relaxing and it helps to get circulation to all those areas we ignore. It is a total time-out," said Michelle Jules, a third year communications major. "It helps me stretch out and it is very relaxing," said junior HuangMei Chiang. One of the obstacles the students have faced is letting go of image concerns and allowing themselves to really immerse in the practice without worrying about what others may think. Poses can be tricky and often embarrassing and egos can stand in the way of progress. "Your ego exists to ensure that you protect yourself and it is important, but it is only a small part of who you are. You shouldn't tell yourself you can't do something without trying it first. Do what you can and next time it will be easier," says Allen. * Allen's advice seems to be working. There were only a few quiet chuckles before everyone tried a new pose they were asked to perform called the "Lion's Roar." In this pose, while down on all fours facing each other, students stuck out their tongues like Maori warriors and let out their breath in the form of a quiet roar. It may seem a little silly, but the students were willing to try the pose and not let it be an embarrassment. This Ashtanga yoga class provides students a time to get in shape while at the same time they can let go of the stresses in their lives. It is a positive experience for both the students and their instructor. Allen is enjoying teaching the class. She said, "I like it, its fun, its turning people on to something that maybe they have never tried before, it's like planting seeds." �ByMOIAELDOLAN Pride Ombudsman This week I have received some very good feedback from readers who voice legitimate concerns about "The Pride." The crux of these concerns is based on a problem that I have noticed as well when reading through "The Pride" which is, namely, typos. The general perception that I get from the readers' complaints is that these errors tend t > < disinterest the reader. I agree with that reasoning. I recall reading "The Pride" before I was writing for it and having that same sense of disinterest because of simple spelling errors or incorrect attributions. Now, I come from a perspective to where I am more disappointed when these errors occur and focused onfindinga resolution to reduce the amount of errors that get into thefinalprint, hi particular, I received one email that really echoed the frustration that some readers have towards these mistakes. CSUSM student, Ryan Beraal, emailed me about a correction for Vol. XI No. 5. It was in the article "Tips for those living single: Student Survey" where Ryan found an error regarding the reference to David Beckham. Our writer referenced Beckham as "David Beckingham:" an error that should have never made it to the press. Ryan suggested and asked me if I agreed that when one of our writers reference "one of the most hailed football players.. .they should at least get the spelling of the name right" I would have to say I agree with Ryan on this one. Beckham is a popular football player and known by football fans all over the world.

This type of sloppiness could discourage readersfromreading "The Pride" who then could dissuadefriendsfromreading "The Pride" and suddenly, "The Pride" has lost its credibility.

Nut Farm when the comment came bellowing from behind me. "This is a perfect place for a picture." It echoed through my mind as I turned to see an oveijoyed mother dragging her reluctant son to a corner in front of the store arranged with pumpkins and bales of hay to represent a perfect manifestation of a Hallmark Halloween. This was supposed to be the yearly outing to Bate's Nut Farm to collect traditional autumn ornamentation: and take in the crisp andfreshValley Center air, but this year was something askew. Yes, this year the rising trend of residential and commercial development has caught up with the simple quest of pumpkin hunting and turned what for the past 25 years had been something enjoyable into a miserable melodrama. This is the new reality of a North County Halloween. I should have known there ^ would be trouble on this trip beginning with the car ride up the gradefromEscondido. East Valley Parkway was consumed with chaos with traffic backed up in both directions up to Lake Wohlford Road. Similarly, the west bound lanes of Valley Center Road, the grade that leads into the hills, were backed up for over half the distance of the grade. The right turn on to Woods Valley Road provided no relief to those who were on their way away from the Farm with a back up of over two miles, a substantial distance on two lane country black top. Approaching the Farm, I was confronted with what at first appeared to be the makings of a carnival. There were incomprehensible amounts of people wandering through fields stacked with recently imported pumpkins just steps away from tents of vendors and a simulated mountain for the purpose of practicing mountain climbing, should that need ever occur. In the parking lot* a field with delineations haphazardly made with bales of hay and orange cones, there were advertisements for the "Smoke Out" tour coming to town soon. My sense of nostalgia was rapidly diminishing as I walked out of the parking lot and into the pumpkinfields.There was trouble in trying to locate a wheelbarrow to carry the pumpkins. At $3.50 a piece, the motivation to walk around with pumpkins in your arms quickly evaporates. This scene was getting uglier and uglier as men and boys stalked the checkout area waiting for a wheelbarrow to be returned. When there was á wheelbarrow returned, the collected predators sprinted with furious determination to claim their prey, leaving one man excited and many a boy and man bitter and crying. The pumpkins themselves were nothing to be thrilled about. A few years back, Bate's stopped growing their own pumpkins and began importing them from Mexico. This act could be considered thefirstflood of water that began the erosion of the Bate's mystique. Instead of going out to afieldand cutting your pumpkin right from a vine and quickly paying without much trouble, one is now left to select theirjpumpkin from a several piles of pumpkins dumped in field with a hundred other people scrounging for the elusive perfect pumpkin. In addition, after the hunt, I found myself passing through a chaotic tent to pay for my selections only to be harassed on the other side by high school student employees with questions as to whether or not I have paid for my pumpkins. All these events lead back up to the front door at the store. After buying a $1 can of soda and a $2 ice cream cone from conveniently placed vendors, I stood dazed staring at the circus I had just experienced. It has never been like this here at Bate's. One employee I asked about the madness said that this bedlam was relatively calmer than the previous weekend when the crafts fair was going on. In the long run, Valley Center is changing with an increase in residential development despite the best efforts of the long time residents. For that matter, all of San Diego County is booming significantly and apparently all these newcomers want a taste of a country fall at Bate's Nut Farm. The unfortunate consequence is the roadways are not suited for the increase in traffic volume in this general area making this trek frustrating at best. Furthermore, the once reserved tradition for local residents to escape to Bate's once or twice a year is forever gone clouded in the chaos of what has now become a stressed filled novelty rather than a chance to envision nostalgia.

Director Olivier Assayas' stunningly done "Demonlover" can be grouped into the category "high tech thriller." I thought that with Halloween approaching this film would have been some gory horror flick, but what I found Connie Neilson stands before a flame in the provocative Palm Pictures thriller. was a sadistic, ugly, fast paced, insane yet amazing piece of filmmaking. Demonlover will leave a funny taste in your mouth and I bet you will like it. The only problem with this film is that it may be hard to follow if you are not somewhat Internet or technology savvy. The storyline basically follows a corporate executive who discovers an interactive torture Internet site called "The Hellfire Club." Slowly the film uncovers more horrors about the modern movie life than any of us have ever wanted to know. With its almost uncomfortable use of sex and fantasy in some very common states of affairs, "Demonlover" reminds me of a lengthy music video. It depicts the corrupt side of an industry that is often assumed to be glamorous. If you're a film buff at all, this film is definitely for you. It is breathtakingly shot and that is reason alone to see it — definitely worth the seven dollars. Elevated : more than just a band By DIANAK. CABUTO Pride StaffWriter Semi-acoustic sounds, incorporated hip-hop, rap, spoken word, and rock vocals accompanied by live guitars and other assorted percussion instruments come together in fusion to form the unique and all CSUSM students band of Elevated. If you have be ve heard this band play their unique sound. The sound that calls for a new genre of music that anyone can en to the Fyre Zone Cyber Cafe on San Marcos Boulevard, Bubble Tea or Panorama Center, maybe you ha enjoy regardless of his or her own personal style. Elevated originates from the idea of poetry and music coming together for a different way of expression and fusion between spoken word, hip-hop and rock. Elevated offers its listeners an interesting and original blend of musical genres. Elevated is becoming an essential part of almost any event at CSUSM and some of the local places in San Marcos. Elevated is a group of enthusiastic and hard working musicians. "Our big goals are to sell our own CD's, stickers, T-shirts, and to have more people come to our shows and express their talents with us as well," said percussionist and performer Nimitz Bagtas. The band is finishing its first demo — the first step for the band's dream. "Big plans are to finish our demo so we can give it to clubs and places for more gigs, play bigger shows and open up for other groups," Nimitz said. The band consists of seven core members: Lyricist Phillip Jerge; poet Anthony Blacksher; percussionist and poet Richard Hunt; poet Lameeka Ingrham; guitarists Ian Skolnik and Robert Smith; and percussionist Nimitz Bagtas. The band began as a duo with Jerge and Balcksher, but other members joined to form the new heterogeneous band they named Elevated. Some of the band's original works include various poetry: "Elevated,*" "Be here Now" and "Life Alone." A current CSUSM student, Nadia Lopez, said, "Elevated is a new concept in music and poetry. I like it a lot and I think it will grow- and leave an impor- Anthony B lacksher w oos the crowd with v ocals a t the Fyre Z one tant mark for this school where it originated, and we should be proud of it."

For those who missed the event, the band will be playing on campus again Friday Nov. 7.

Starbucks charges for tap water Logo costs buck and a half BY SANDRA CHALMERS Pride Staff Writer College is a money pit. Parking at CSUSM for example is no easy tab, but now the Starbucks on campus has decided to exploit students' vulnerable wallets and charge a fee of $1.65 for a cup of iced water. Our campus Starbucks feels heaven sent—mocha Mondays, Tazo tea Tuesdays, and more. The discount schedule is great, unless you are in the market for a simple cup of iced water, then the price is a stale $1.65. Iced water is free at any other Starbucks off campus. In hard economic times, it is almost impossible to ignore the feeling that Starbucks is taking advantage of CSUSM students. The price of $1.65 for a cup of iced water is equal to the price of a water bottle customers can purchase. This concept seems unfair and leads some customers to believe that the Starbucks at CSUSM is purposefully charging its tap water to make as much revenue as possible. "I think it isridiculousthat Starbucks is making us pay for a cup of water. It's not even 50 cents, it's almost $2.00. You might as well buy another drink if you are just going to get water at that cost," said Annie Salazar as she studied on the benches outside the main entrance to the on campus Starbucks. Maybe by charging $1.65 for basic tap ice water, Starbucks is sending the message to students that if they spend a little more they can enjoy a much sweeter treat. If this is Starbucks' intention, it is a low and shameful sale tactic This sends out quite a negative tone since more than ten Starbucks within a 20-mile radius of CSUSM do not charge a fee for ice tap water. Latishia Rivera, a sophomore at CSUSM, works at the Big Cat Food court on campus and she said it doesn't charge for tap water. "We only charge 25 cents if the customer uses a cup, but if they bring their own water bottle we don't charge them anything," said Rivera. This is the common rule that many establishments agree upon, including restaurants that most often don't charge customers for endless amounts of iced water. In California, there is no law that regulates the price that restaurants or coffee houses can charge for tap water. The Starbucks on campus is not corporate owned. Therefore, it is able to set its own prices on coffee, pastries and yes, water. Jackie Carbajal, a current employee at the Starbucks on campus also cited the Starbucks location as a factor. "Another reason, and I believe the most important one, is that because we are on a campus we have a concentrated audience, which is why we are so busy most of the time. If we gave free cups of water, we would loose a substantial amount of money in cups alone." "Corporate Starbucks can sacrifice the loss of profit, but a licensed store such as the one on campus pays more for Starbucks product," Carbajal continued. Recently, the Starbucks chain's alarming battle over the policy to leave the tap water running left speculators disgusted at the company's alleged extreme wastefulness. To promote food safety, tap water runs non-stop during business hours. On Oct. 8, 2008, The Chicago Sun Times newspaper reported that throughout all the Starbucks chains, Starbucks potentially wastes more than six million gallons of water a day. With high crimes such as these, some would think the Starbucks on campus would be losing more money on the water bill than the price of cups. Will you be paying with cash, check, or first-born child?

Proposition 3 — the Children's Hospital Bond Act - is one of those important initiatives. Children's Hospitals treat the most serious and deadly diseases and conditions, including cancer, heart defects, diabetes, sickle cell anemia and cystic fibrosis. The number of children needing care in California is growing, but thé space and equipment to treat them are not. As the President & CEO of the California Children's Hospital Association, I can assure you that Children's Hospitals work every day to do everything possible to help all of seriously ill and injured children who count on us all across the state for health care. However, California^ Children's Hospitals face daunting challenges. Each year more than one m illion children are treated a t Children's Hospitals. Many are transferred froin other hospitals that don't have the resources to treat them. Children's Hospitals are operating at or near capacity. Without additional capital investment in medical equipment and facilities, Children's Hospitals simply will not be able to meet the needs of the region's expanding pediatric population. Proposition 3, the Children's Hospital Bond Act, would provide $980 million dollars f or the 13 children's hospitals in,California to purchase state-of-the-art medical technologies and to expand so they can make more room to take care of more kids.

McCain originally wanted to teach English to illegal immigrants and make them pay any penalties that they may have acquired. Earlier t his year, he changed his stance and no longer supports t his t ype of action. McCain wants to use Homeland Security and, like Obama, increase the punishment of companies who hire illegal immigrants. Primarily, he wants to ensure the border is secure f irst before immigration r eform takes place. This is where the candidates seem to disagree the most on immigration in general.

While that may be the case for Boston originated clothing company, Johnny Cupcakes, one buying incentive that isn't likely to fade is its 100% manufactured in the U.S guarantee. If the fair trade enticement doesn't get you, surely the twenty-four-year-old man behind "Johnny Cupcakes" should do the trick. "Customers like and appreciate the story behind my brand. I started this as a joke, f rom the t runk of my beat up 89' Toyota Camry; a college drop out -— drug and alcohol-free lifestyle — turned down a lot of investors took countless risks — kept my shirts out of heaps of chain stores. Yeah, I could have made a TON of money real quick, but I chose quality over quantity," said creator Johnny Earle who inherited his nickname from a friend. While working at a silk screening shop making t-shirts for his old band, On Broken Wings,Earle decided to make a few shirts that said 'Johnny Cupcakes' on them and the rest is history. Johnny Cupcakes kept the business close to home, having employed twelve of his closest friends as well as his own parents. The f irst Johnny Cupcakes shop opened in 2005 with only three official stores currently located nationwide; one in Los Angeles and two in Massachusetts (Hull and Boston). A h andful of stores around the world carry the Johnny Cupcake brand. A complete list is available at the Johnny Cupcakes website—www. johnnycupcakes.com. Due to word of mouth and Internet buzz, Johnny Cupcakes new store openings generated hundreds of eager customers willing to wait in line for hours to be the f irst to step inside the bakery inspired clothing stores. But don't let the growing appeal fool you, though the brand is growing, Johnny Cupcakes intends to remain tight knit and limited. ft "I'd rather have a strong brand filled with k nowledgeable customers who truly enjoy and appreciate what I've created instead of making a quick buck trying to get my shirts in chain stores across the world — being just another fad," Earle said. To keep his product exclusive, Johnny Cupcakes only pro- duces a limited amount of shirts for each design. The online store marks "Last Pressing" warnings for t-shirts that will soon become unavailable. In addition to the previous reasons, the Johnny Cupcake brand is slightly more expensive than department store clothing because all items are manufactured in the United States. Johnny Cupcakes tops range anywhere from $25 (on sale) to $35 t-shirts with hoodies and jackets at $65-70. Surely this story of success could inspire others to follow an inspiration or idea but imitating the sensation of Johnny Cupcakes takes more than daydreaming during class. "This all didn't happen over night, I didn't get lucky with some random idea, I got off my bum and did something with myself," advises Earle. "Everyone thinks of great ideas every day - it's just getting the motivation to get off their butts to actually do something about it."

Oct. 21, 2008 - CSUSM performance lab invited Olive Bieringa to host a free screening and lecture of her company the BodyCartography Project on campus. The performance lab at CSUSM is part of the Department of Visual and Performing Arts that focuses; on inspiring students to enhance their education through various mediums of art, including dance, theatre, and art performances. Olive Bieringa is the founder and co-director of the BodyCar- tography Project. The project is an innovated dance collaboration that is rooted in deeply moving, modern art pieces that can take shape as live performances, art installments, film, and still photographs. Bieringa's creative inspirations have led her to New Zealand, Europe, and even Japan to create one-of-a-kind art pieces. "The process of making art is so intuitive," Bieringa said, as she showed sections of her film pieces to students on Tuesday evening. She campaigned her idea that any environment can become a stage, the landscape of moun- tains or urban street corners give off energy to be creative and grow into any atmosphere. "What constitutes a dance? It depends on what you chose to focus on, how do I make a presence in an environment? I could follow theflow^ofa busy street or contrast it with ^cklm ddfice, these are all choices I think about," Bieringa continued as she explained to her audience the choices she makes as a choreographer in her dance pieces. The lecture involved several screenings of the BodyCartography Project's work: live perfor- Wonderlove is back Band does reunion tour in OC BY ADAM LOWE Pride Staff Writer Eightyears ago, ifyou were to ask almost anyone in Orange County who the "big cheese" of the local music industry was, you would get only one answer Wonderlove. Winning the Orange County Music Award for "Best Live Band" two years in a row (2002 and 2003), Wonderlove was no stranger to the limelight. In addition to winning awards, Wonderlove has filmed 3 music videos, including one in Tuscany, Italy. Fame and travel are two things this band embraced and loved. Unfortunate for music lovers, Wonderlove played their last show in 2004 and disbanded shortly thereafter. Since then, they have done two reunion shows, including a sold out jam packed show at The Gypsy Lounge in Lake Forest, CA in June of 2007. But the wait is over, Wonderlove is having another reunion show on November 14, 2008, once again, at The Gypsy Lounge, their home away from home and favorite place to play shows. A simple reunion show not exciting enough for you? Well how about more than just a reunion show? How about Wonderlove getting back together with a new mances in Argentina and clips from "Holiday House," a film based on the coordination of friends in dance and movement. "I don't desire to give a message or a political view (in the performances) but to have the audience choose for themselves what it means to them," Bieringa said. Many of the students were very engaged in the lecture and screening. Kirstie Peterson, a sophomore, said, "I've seen her work before, it's very interesting and powerful." The BodyCartography Project performed at the Museum of Man in Balboa Park on Oct. 18. The performance featured CSUSM students including Claudia Evans, a senior who found the experience of performing so special. "Everything was so visual, so amazing, it heightened my senses and I felt like I learned so much, it was something I had iiever done before," Evans continued to share with the audience about her experience.

Sounds great to me, and that's the word straightfromWonderlove front man, Chris Paul Overall. With so much individual growth on each members part since the band broke up 4 years ago, there is much to look forward to with this reunion. Dave Beste spent much time recording and touring nationally with Rocco Dehica and the Burden, Bryan Mclntyre has played with Johnny Jones and the Suffering Halos, Dicki Fliszar has played with Anna Nalick as well as with Deccatree along with Jesse Nason, and Chris Paul Overall has been quite busy with his solo musical journey in addition to his collaboration withfellowlocal musician, AJDegrasse. In response to a question about what each individual will be bringing to the table after all this time and growth, Chris Paul Overall said, "when we were playing before, we were just a bunch of drunk idiots trying to destroy ourselves... now we [have] wisdom." Reuniting Wonderlove is growing into one of the most anticipated musical reunion in Orange County local music history, because it is not just a reunion show, it is the reunion of an incredibly talented band. "I'm just looking forward to playing with the guys that really make my music the best it can be. There has always been a [certain] chemistry between the five of us that I have never experienced with any other project, and Wonderlove brings the rock," says Chris Paul Overall. Personally, I've seen these five guys take the stage at last years one night onlyreunionshow and I must say - they do bring the rock. I've seen Chris Paul Overall play solo shows, I've listened to Rocco Deluca and the Burden, I've heard and seen Deccatree, I've listened to Johnny Jones and the Suffering Halos, I've even heard Anna Nalick's song "Breathe" on the radio - but none of that quite touches on the greatness of seeing all these guys on stage together playing Wonderlove's hitsfromboth their albums, My Submarine and Getting Off the Revolution. So when November 14 comes around, make sure you are in Orange County at The Gypsy Lounge (www. thegypsylounge.com) for the first Wonderlove show in a year. Check out their website, wwwmyspace. comAvonderlovemusic for more information of theirreunion,where to purchase their albums (iTunes and CDBaby), and more information about upcoming shows. Come out to the show, you'll love this band no matter what your favorite style of music is, it will be no wonder you'll love the Wonderlove! Horribly cheesy pun, I know, but come check out the show, it is going to be amazing! �THE PRIDE A BY JONATHAN E.

The Carlsbad-Oceanside Art Gallery, which showcases a variety of artwork including oil paintings, photography, watercolor, and mixed media work by local artists, is one of few places that does. While the gallery does not restrict entry to only community artists, local artists do much of the work contained in the gallery. The function of the gallery is two-fold, serving both as a free art exhibition to the public and as a venue for these artists to sell their works. To make the gallery even more interesting, the artists themselves work the B pI gallery. Sarah Totan, an artist featured in the gallery notes, "If you are an artist on display here, you have to sit the gallery." This unique opportunity gives visitors the chance to enjoy the works with the insight of the artists whose work supports the gallery, Operated by the Carlsbad-Oceanside Art League (COAL), the gallery functions primarily on volunteer assistance and grants. The gallery is the fulfillment of COAL's stated purpose, which ^ K is "to promote art education and • cultural appreciation offineart in the community", making it one of North County's premiere outlets flMjjj^BBlg^SM for the visual arts. COAL also boasts its own monthly newsletter The > Brushmark, which keeps readers informed on activities and exhibitions the organization plans to hold in the coming month. Artists are charged a small fee to hang their work in the gallery, a measure that helps the COAL to keep the gallery up and running. With submissions allowed once a month, the system in place ensures the renewal of a fresh cycle of artwork at the gallery at all times. October's featured artist is David Seeley, who has several photographs on display in the gallery. Other impressive works featured in the gallery include El Ranchito Cabazon by Josephine di Salve and MMM-6 by Robert Boyd. Located just 15 minutes from CSUSM, the Carlsbad-Oceanside Art Gallery offers to students chance to experi- * 1 m ence the j North County's art ^^H of the area without any cost, leaving little excuse not to visit.

At the age of 8 in her Catholic schoolroom, she says, she watched the sun shine through the window onto tall stacks of McGuffy Readers and wished that she could control those books.

P age 6 �News C.S. planners count on Proposition 'A' • With $72 million at s take, Proposition "A' would be a boon for the future development of Cal. State San Marcos BY R ICHARD M AUSER P RIDE S TAFF W RITER A good chunk of the future of CSUSM will rest in the hands of California voters next week, The fate of Proposition lA, a $9.2 billion public education bond on the Nov. 3 statewide ballot, will have a lot of impact on the CSUSM campus. The measure, which would provide funding for elementary schools through state universities, contains $72.3 million for CSUSM over the next four years. If passed, it would fund the c onstruction of t hree new buildings and the beginning of a new library and information c enter, nearly doubling the campus' square footage. "This will be a major kick," said Carol Bonomo, CSUSM director of Legislative and Civic Affairs. "It will really get the campus going." According to CSUSM officials,^ $30 million would be allocated for the construction of a science hall that would house labs, classrooms and faculty offices, and also cover the first phase of a multi-building arts and humanities complex that would include classrooms, music labs, a dance facility and a 200-seat lecture/rehearsal hall. The proposition also would designate $25.3 million to begin the process of building the $1.2 million donated to CSUSM for athletic complex A $1.2 million gift from longtime O ceanside r esident Helene Clarke will enable CA S tate San M arcos t o b egin building a much-needed field house to anchor an athletic complex and physical education program. The completed structure will be named the M. Gordon Clarke Field House in honor of Mrs. Clarke's late husband, an active sports enthusiast. The donation is the largest single gift from a living person t hat t he l o-year-old N orth County university has received. "The university community is very pleased at the generosity of Mrs. Clarke and the confidence she has shown in the future of our campus," CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez said in announcing the gift. "Generations of students will benefitfromhaving a first-class field house as part of their total university experience." M. Gordon Clarke was a longtime Hughes Tool Co. executive with an abiding love of athletics. He considered a professional b aseball career a fter competing at the University of Oklahoma but decided to follow his father's footsteps aiid go into business. However, Mrs. Clarke said her husband never lost his enthusiasm for all sports, from baseball to football to golf. "He would think nothing of picking up the phone, calling friends from around the country, and arranging a golf game for all of them, in Hawaii," she laughed. "And when we got to the airport, of course the clubs went on the plane first." Mrs. Clarke said her husband would have been 'thrilled" to know that golf is the first team sport at Cal State San Marcos, with competition that began earlier this month. "And that is why I decided to donate for the field house, because athletics was Gordon's life in so many ways. library and information center across the cul-de-sac from Craven Hall. But Bonomo says this p roject w ould need p rivate funding in addition to the public bond. Funding for the three buildings would begin in the first year if the measure is approved. The Library and Information Center would receive funding in the third year. CSUSM has suffered in the past when similar bond measures failed. Defeat of one in 1992 bond halted plans for the construction of six new campus buildings. In 1994, voters rejected one that would have funded construction of three new campus buildings. But passage of a 1996 bond funded construction of the recently completed University Hall. D espite p ast s etbacks, Bonomo said she was hopeful this time. T m optimistic. I've been talking to a lot of people about this and they seem to really care about education," she added. Proposition lA, put on the ballot in response to the recent state mandate to reduce class sizes, would provide funding to relieve overcrowding and accommodate s tudent e nroll- ment growth. It also would repair older schools and provide wiring and cabling for education technology. A ccording t o Bonomo, Proposition l A is the biggest education bond to go before the voters in California history. It would provide $6.7 billion to K12 schools and $2.5 billion to the UC, CSU and community college systems. The-CSU system would receive $832 million if the measure passes. CSUSM, with its $72.3 million, ranks second among the 23 CSU campuses. San Jose State would receive the most at $83 million. ii h i € r • Dome l liiliilllii ismiiii* III! - Ip1??;Ipfe the test BY KUO-CHANG 3 , Hi P w b e STAFF WRITER • Is bigger better?

That message is greatly reinforced by the striking images in the Art Myers exhibit currently on display in the CSUSM library. Titled "Winged Victory: Altered Images Transcending Breast Cancer," it contains Myers' photos depicting women who have had lumpectomies and mastectomies. It will be on display through the end of October. Myers, an internationally known photographer and a doctor, normally commands large fees for his exhibits. But, thanks to a request by biology student Roberta Sweeney, an 11-year survi; vor of breast cancer herself, Myers gave CSUSM the opportunity to showcase his art free of charge. In 1987, Sweeney had a mastectomy and underwent a "Big Bad Regimen" of chemotherapy that same year. "I always say "breast cancer' and not just 'cancer,'" she says. "It distinguishes where and what, it takes the sting out of it. People immediately associate cancer with death, and it doesn't feel so scary to me when people hear 'breast cancer.'" Myers, who specializes in preventive medicine and public health, is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. He obtained a post-doctoral degree in public health from the Graduate School of Public Health at SDSU. A self-taught photographer, he has studied with well-known artists, such as Annie Leibovitz: best known for her portraits of celebrities such as Mick Jagger and Keith Richards during their sixweek 1975 American Tour; her picture of a very pregnant and naked Demi Moore on the cover of "Vanity Fair;" and one of Whoopi Goldberg in a bathtub filled with milk. In the preface to the exhibit, Myers states, "It is my hope that these pictures, right breast — , 1 still have :n 11 nave an arm an �Photography By poems and personal vignettes will reveal the persistence of a woman's beauty, strength, and femaleness in all of its complexity, even after the transforming experience of breast cancer." CSUSM Women's Studies Professor Madeleine Marshall agrees that the stigma of this cancer has impacted society. Just as images of the environment in crisis contradicts the concept of Mother Earth, she adds, the premium on young, healthy and nurturing breasts clashes f with those that are sick. Vvl f? P " PU As efforts to educate and increase fT "^ AIt&rpA IwifioPK awareness of the disease continue, she says, art such as Myers' lends a hand. Jramcending Breast Cancel Myers photographs, which include his wife Stephanie, portray survivors of different ages and backgrounds, some posing with their partners. Poems by Maria Marrocchino with titles like "Venus and Friends," "Hands That Still Nurture," and "My Hands, My Body" were created especially for the exhibit. One picture shows a couple, Lisa and Scotty, posing with his motorcycle. Lisa faces the camera wearing nothing but jeans and boots, in the text, she talks not of the couple's experience with breast cancer, but about their different i astesin motCMreycles. ^ In another picture, Dick writes about his wife Carol, the love of his life: "I feel my mother's spirit shining down on both of us." His mother had breast cancer, too. Carol sits behind the light of candles to highlight her double mastectomy withtierhusband's face emerging from the dark like a steady ray of light. In another, Tanya, who has had a left mastectomy, urges everyone to "live each day, each second, each morsel, to the fullest." She adds that she turned breast cancer into a triumph by learning to regret nothing. "I would not undo this gift of perspective, even to have my breast back," she writes. "Painted Ladies" is a picture of women wearing humorous and brightly colored body paint. Susan calls the long scar on her chest "my badge of courage." The exhibit is by no means the only campus reminder that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Sweeney herself is now an active speaker for the Komen Foundation, a national organization that advances breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment. ins Vic III!

But here's what baffles me: What's the deal with the enormous back-packs? They're luggage really. Are all you tukwuts running away from home? Do you camp out after that 6-9 p.m. class so you can keep that prime parking place for your 9 a.m. the next day? ,Students never used to c any so much stuff.

And it's not just college coeds. My 5-year-old niece is part of this trend. She has a bright pink back-pack that is so heavy, I marvel she can even stand up. (That Barbie doll piggy bank certainly doesn't help matters any.) So I'd just like to know: What the heck does everybody have in theirs? I, for one, travel light. A spiral binder to take notes in class. Maybe, if I'm feeling downright studious, a textbook. My wallet, because you never know when youH need cash for caffeine. A pen and pencil, maybe even a hi-liter. That's it. What more could you possibly need? For those who think I'm exaggerating when I call these packs "luggage," how about this: I've actually seen students using luggage racks to carry their back packs. Heck, I've eyen seen a few pieces of luggage dragged around campus, literally. Where will it end?

Acting on your financial future p owe r BY SHERRONA HILL P RIDE S T A F F W R I T E R Where do you see yourself in the next 40 years?On a beach catching rays or maybe jet-setting around the world, spending time in your winter and summer homes? For many of us in our 20s, growing older and retiring is like a fable. Unreal as the future may seem, now is the time to be planning for our golden retirement years. Social Security probably won't be around when we retire, so we can rule out that potential source of income. After we retire from our illustrious careers, we need to have a plan to ensure a good quality of life in our later years. Start with something as little as $50 a month. Right now, many of us are worried about paying tuition and bills. The majority of CSUSM students are working so we do have steady income coming in. Take advantage of investment vehicles in your jobs like 4 0i(k)s, and p rofit-sharing plans. By investing early, you have the potential to makemor^ in the long run. Especially m stock " funds that are geared toward growth of your monies. For those of you w ho are timid about messing with the stock market, you should know that investing almost always beats savings accounts. Why put $500 into a savings account that will pay you a yield of only 2 percent when you can put that $500 into a money market fund and get 5 percent return on your money? Ask your human resources people about getting into investment plans offered to fulltime employees. If you are working part time and don't qualify for these taxdeferred plans, then you can call any n umber of m utual funds companies and set up automatic investment plans. In an automatic investment plan, you can have a set amount of money taken out of your checking account every month. You won't miss that $50 or $100. Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are a good way t o i nvest y our h ard-earned money too. These allow you to put away up to $2,000 a year tax free. It's something like a write off. But you can pull t he indney out any time, and as long as you put it back into the IRA within 60 days, you still don't have to pay any taxes or penalties to the Internal Revenue Service For those of you who would like to find out more about investing in your future... a little bit at a time... get the answers to your questions. i iaii^classro^ to relocafestudeiife aitdtheir professors i& pm&imiltelr class Smith added* i Di$abled stn^»ts or others requiring the use of m elevator were dble to use those te Cmvm Hali t e i natelocafions Restored in that building* ^ !

This cross-cultural event was planned and organized largely in part by joy Francisco and Trish Guevarra of the APSS. Some of the highlights included versions of both the United States and Filipino national anthems. The APSS also showcased two different forms of Filipino folk dancing. The Binasuan, performed by Cheryl Arbitria, involves balancing three glasses of rice wine (substituted on campus by kiwistrawberry Shasta) while moving through a sequence of exotic and difficult contortions. The Tiniklin, performed by members of the APSS, is a choreographed dance that requires perfect synchronization of the dancers, and incorporates the tapping of poles which are laidflaton the ground and tapped to the beat by fellow performers.

Along with Dimaandal, this tribute to Filipino-American culture featured a number of musical groups/artists ranging from alternative rock to rap to techno. One of the crowd favorites was the "Squids of Fury," who are a San Diego based break-dancing crew who performed on the very unforgiving medium of concrete. When asked about the long term goals of the APSS, Joy Francisco (Director of Publicity/ Historian for the APSS) responded by saying that the immediate goal of the fledgling organization (established in the Spring of 2002) was simply to inform the public of the existence and relevance of Asian Pacific society in San Diego. According to the U.S. census, FilipinoAmericans make up 20 percent of the people of Asian descent in the United States, second only to The APSS was also successful the Chinese (23 percent).

SDCHCC is a non-profit organization that provides many different programs and services for the Hispanic entrepreneur. It also has a scholarship program for graduating high school students and has approved scholarships for some college students, according to Roberto Villareal, which can earn them up to $1000. According to SDCHCC, they helped raise over $350,000 in scholarships for the future of the Hispanic youth, and they are focusing on building a solid foundation for the community, starting with the Hispanic youth and business community. SDCHCC also offers internships for students majoring in International Business. Villareal says that they have a program with San Diego State University (SDSU) but sees no problem with students of Cal State San Marcos (CSUSM) enlisting in the program if they are willing to take the time and follow through. The organization was established in 1989, primarily to access the $10 billion Hispanic buying power. The new organization is now the fastest growing Hispanic Chamber out of six states in the western United States. "Our role as a Hispanic Chamber is to advocate small businesses particularly Hispanic businesses," Villareal says. Membership in the organization entitles small business owners to collaborate with each other, creating business ventures amongst themselves. Membership also entitles the business owners to an exclusive mailing list, which gives the Hispanic business owner an edge.

While clouds covered the sky and frigid breezes filtered through Founders' Plaza, the crowds were minimal. "Maybe it could be held inside next year," suggested many Southern Californian fairweather-fans. With a reportedly high percentage of Cal State San Marcos students going on to graduate school, the fact that the weather could have significantly marginalized the utility of the fair came as a surprise. Bettina HSber, CSUSM Director of Analytic Studies reported from a survey taken in the Spring of 1999 that 45 percent of Cal State San Marcos students, having received their bachelors degree, enrolled in a graduate studies program within one year. See GRAD FAIR, page 3 The Career and Assessment Center hosts the event annually to provide a forum for students to informally meet with a variety of graduate school representatives, to ask questions about schools and programs, and to collect informative materials. This year, the fair was extended an extra hour to last from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., due to student requests made "after last year's fair. Yet, despite a longer window of time, student MEDICAL from page 1 Grad Fair. Photo by Tristan Nickey. science and humanities." During interviews, Mauldin also mentioned that medical school admissions committees may also ask curve ball questions such as "What do you think about European socialized medicine?" or "How do you feel about health care reform?" acceptance to medical schools because schools will not look at applications without MCAT scores. It is also important not to work during medical school due to its intensity. Even though medical schools range from $60,000 - $70,000 for UC schools and $120,000 for private schools, they said that it would Also, schools expect students be best to take out a loan so as to to submit a powerful personal focus completely on studying. statement about themselves in their applications, rather than The CSUSM students who just a brief synopsis of their attended the conference shared scholastic aptitude.

Sack and Mauldin also explained that medical Schools suggest that it is a necessity to have at least one letter of recommendation from a professor that a student knew well. They need to know personal information about the applicant that conveys a willingness to persevere. A student may have multiple letters from professors of classes that he/she aced, but that do not explain anything about his/her personality. It is better to have a letter from a professor of a class in which the student received a C+ especially if it means the professor can vouch for that student's character. Sack also commented about CSUSM, "It's smaller and more intimate, you really get to know your professors, and there are labs for each science class. It's teacher interactive, and there's plenty of hands-on learning.

Soriano, CSUSM associate professor and program director of Human Development, was just named one of the 100 Most Influential Hispanics in the U.S by the Hispanic Business Magazine. % Soriano, founder of the NLRC (National Latino Research Center) in 1997, fue sorprendido por el reconocimiento ya que no tenía conocimiento alguno sobre su nominación. Soriano received the news by an email that was sent by an acquaintance congratulating him for the recognition, and since then has received many more. "I was very shocked and kind of humbled," said Soriano. According to Soriano, knowing many Latinos in the nation who are doing so much for the Latino community, and who are deserving of this recognition, it is both gratifying and shocking. "Me siento muy afortunado de tener este conocimiento y ojala que la comunidad Latina tengan orgullo en esto, igual que los que no son Latinos sepan que los Latinos pueden lograr igual éxito a los que no son Latinos," dijo Soriano.

Sobre el efecto de su reconocimiento en su vida, Soriano said, "It [the recognition] gives me an opportunity to serve as a role model especially to children and adolescents, and I think that role modeling for kids is very special." He also added jokingly, "I wish I had the money that went with that." La página de Internet del Hispanic Business magazine listed la fundación del NLRC as well as the participation of Soriano in the Census Bureau's Advisory Committee on the Hispanic population como sus cualidades principales. The recipients ofthis recognition were determined by survey results conducted by the magazine. However, Soriano never received anything from the magazine's editor or publishers, saying anything of his nomination or his recognition. La razón principal por la cual Soriano decidió venir a Cal State San Marcos fue debido al gran apoyo que la universidad demostró para apoyar el NLRC. "I wanted to make sure that the center had a good home, that it would have strong institutional support for the center; it looked like Cal State San Marcos seemed to be very interested in Latino research and Latino issues so it seemed like a good home for the center." Soriano said that since then, "the center has been doing very well." He added, "We Calend Los temas investigados en el NLRC, de acuerdo con Soriano, Sobre su persona Soriano son muy diversos pero la mayoría mencionó, "I see myself son temas sociales que incluyen primarily as a professor, I don't la demografía, delincuencia e see myself as an administrator... información sobre los niños I see myself primarily as a latinos preescolares.

Sin embargo, este About the interest of other mismo equipo logro convocar people in learning other su primera conferencia donde languages, Soriano said, "It's más de 75 researchers and good to promote another aspiring new researchers de toda language because as the world la nación pudieron conocerse is shrinking, we need to become e intercambiar ideas sobre los a lot more involved with other Latinos and drug use, "When cultures and other countries. you are a Latino and you've Even apart from whether you are gone to school and youv'e Hispanic or Latino, it is going to gotten your Ph.D., you often become increasingly important are isolated and not with others that you learn a second language, who both validate you as an and what better language to learn than Spanish? We not only have a Spanish speaking country right next to us, but we have an entire Hispanic continent that is very large and that is right next to us as well. Promoting the use of language I think is very important." "We, as a country and as a region, should become much more multilingual and should promote the use of languages," added Soriano. De acuerdo con Soriano, the future of the U.S. is that it is going to become much more interdependent on other countries, as the current situation in Europe, where most Europeans speak more than one language due to their interdependence on other countries. "More and more people who are going out to the job market willfindthat some of the better opportunities for jobs are going to be given to those who are able to navigate through different cultures," he said. Soriano said that unfortunately, there are not many Latinos who hold Ph.D's, as well as there is a very low percentage of Latinos who go into 4-year colleges. Soriano mencionó algunos de los factores influyendo a este bajo porcentaje que incluyen la falta de role models; falta de apoyo y conocimiento de las escuelas, profesores y directores, al igual que la falta de confianza que estos ponen en los estudiantes latinos; los exámenes subjetivos aplicados temprano en la vida académica que afectan la motivación y el auto estima de estos niños; y el pertenecer a familias de bajos recursos donde los padres no tienen la educación y el tiempo para guiar a sus hijos y sobre todo donde hay un stress económico. "Todo esto constituye una barrera muy grande," dijo Soriano. También añadió que hay muchos otros factores que afectan este porcentaje. una responsabilidad muy grande y como nuestra población tiene muchos problemas económicos y educacionales especialmente los latinos que tienen educación o los que están ahorita en la escuela tienen una gran responsabilidad de terminar la escuela de hacer bien en la escuela y luego después demostrar la habilidad y los éxitos que pueden logran por el bien de ellos como también de la comunidad Latina," añadió Soriano motivando a los Latinos a seguir adelante. Soriano obtuvo su Bachelor's Degree in Psychology at UC Riverside and his Master's as well as Ph.D. at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Soriano is currently teaching three classes at CSUSM: two sections of HD 495 "Fieldwork Exposure In Human Development" and HD 497 "Research in Human Development" Nacido en Guadalajara, México, pero traído a los EE.UU. a la edad de un año, Soriano mandó un mensaje a los latinos. El dijo, "Cada Latino debe de tomar [la] oportunidad de lograr un nivel de éxito más grande de lo que sus padres han logrado y NOTE: This is a languageque lo hagan no solamente por contact journal article; ellos mismos pero también por it's intended to be in both la población en general Latina, languages. que están viendo en ellos las esperanzas de ellos mismos."

By DESMOND BARCA Pride Design Editor On Oct. 29th 1997, five years ago today, Anton Szander LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan, was found dead by his family in his Los Angeles home. His death at age 67 was the result of heart failure. Halloween 1997 marked the end of LaVey's life, but to the annoyance of Christians everywhere, it did not mark the end of his legacy. The Church of Satan is still going strong, admitting new members every day from all over the world. Satanism has long been a frightening and mysterious concept in western culture. While there is little evidence that the hundreds of thousands of people who were tortured and executed throughout history for being Satanist were anything more than social misfits or radicals, the perception of a secret devil worshipping society has long been perceived to exist. Thanks to LaVey, this concept has become a reality, though not exactly according to a Christian understanding. Most people do not have a clue about what Satanism is today. The historical understanding of the satanic creates so strong a picture that it is difficult to approach the Church of Satan objectively. When most people think of Satanists, images of human sacrifice, blood rituals, and infant theft instantly come to mind. However, modern day Satanism, of the variety practiced by members of the Church of Satan, has little to do with these stereotypes. The church of Satan, aside from its name and being the result of a rebellion against Judeo-Christian values, has very little to do with Christianity.

I respect Amy's passion for her belief in the mistake of the Pride. I wds born in San Diego and I am notfluentin Spanish. Seeing the Spanish Sec* tion actually inspired me, the fact that it had no English translation made me even more curious to find out what it said. It also made me think about how those at our school who do speak and read Spanish, what about their view? What a joy for them to open the school paper and be able to read an article in their native language, maybe even the language the learned first I think it is reasonable for Amy to request English side-by-side with the Spanish article. Although, the editor, Maria Sarabia brings up that space and time make it impossible. My suggestion as a fellow English speaking student is to FIGURE IT OUT! We are at CSUSM to learn and to grow. There are resources out there we can use as students to understand the world. This includes Spanish, if necessaiy...to read the school paper. If you have Internet access (tiy using the school lab) log onto a website suchaswww.fieetranslation.com. Here you can translate words or entire passages in multiple languages. I believe you can go to www.csusm.edu/pride/ highlight the Spanish article copy it and have it translated for you on the website. We need to be more accepting of the changes happening around us. There is Spanish written on almpst all store products and their directions. Even songs on the radio use both English and Spanish in the same song. [i.e. Angie Martinez"If I can go...contigo (with you)]. I could go on with examples but I think we can all start looking for these occurances in our own surroundings. Fm sorry to those who are\were offended by the Spanish section, I hope that in the future we as students can pull together all possible resources to better understand the Pride as well as the world around us. Nicole Capatanos Senior, Liberal Studies This is letter is in response to Oct 8th's "Opinion About The Pride Spanish Section" I wasfranklysurprised that Ms. Granite took such offense with the article written in Spanish in our school's newspaper. This university was founded oh the ideal of multiculturalism and social justice. That a school newspaper would be broadminded enough to publish a small section where Spanish speakers can read in their native language would seem to be a positive rather than a negative. I would venture to guess that there are many, many students on this campus who, while maybe not fluent Spanish speakers, have yet studied Spanish at some point in their educational career, as I have. I personally enjoyed the challenge of putting my hardearned Spanish skills to practical use in trying to read the passage. It's not like the article was written in Croatian or some obscure language. This is a language that is so prevalent in our area that if hearing it or reading it offends us; we may be living in the wrong area.

Copeland argues for separation of school and state, by replacing our arcane educational system, rooted in the nineteenth century industrial America, with a private educational system that encourages innovation, creativity and effective choices for parents in teaching all our children. The state shall pass no law that interferes with an individual's right to self-determination, unless said individual violates the right of another. The government shall not conduct business nor be the entity of a business operation which otherwise can be provided by the private sector. Copeland calls for an end to the state income tax.

Photo by Brian Fisher The first thing one notices about Jonathan Poullard is his focused energy and sincere passionate interest in helping students and creating a wholistic inclusive community on campus. He is extremely approachable and receptive. As our new Dean of Students, Poullard has spent 14 years in higher education, and he's only 34. At an age when many 21-year olds haven't begun thinking about where life may be heading, Poullard was the Coordinator of Residential Life at Pennsylvania State University while working on his Master's degree in developmental psychology with an emphasis in early adult education. He found himself learning and applying skills that he would be honing for the next 14 years, and now he brings this immense experience and excitement to Cal State San Marcos. Poullard has spent the last nine years at Occidental College in Los Angeles acting as Assistant Dean for three years and Associate Dean for the last six. He worked for two years before that at Pennsylvania's Susquehanna College as the Director of Multicultural Affairs, then as coordinator, director, and finally as Assistant Dean of Students. Poullard accepted CSUSM's offer because he wanted to progress professionally, becoming a full Dean, and because CSUSM offered him an optimum level of professional growth. "It's very challenging in its difference from Occidental. Not only am I going from private to public, residential to commuter, but younger to older, and small to large. I wanted that difference to "challenge and expand how I interface with students," says Poullard.

Poullard is also concerned that many students don't know what Student Affairs is, and that students can come to him, "For me, as dean, you can come to me for anything, and if I can't help you, I will definitely take you to where you can be helped. I want to be directly responsible for helping students learn and grow," says Dean Poullard. "At student services, we are educators outside the classroom, and it is our job to build a seamless living/learning community for students, and help students learn who they are in respect to other people," says Poullard, "The work of student affairs is to consciously develop leaders and leadership skills which help students make positive change in their lives." don't see students at the heart of this institution, I see them on the periphery, floating.

Poullard �My Day With Jack By: Benjamin Wayne Pride Staff Writer Locked into the bump and grind, juggling my school and work schedule for necessities over priorities, and sleeping on an "as time permits" basis have all purchased tickets on my train of thoughts-they are unwanted passengers. My father says that these inevitable successions of free time are all part of a larger chain of events-the chain leading towards adulthood-I am supposed to dangle like a puppet. Normally I would listen, possibly even agree, but today is different. It's noon on Tuesday (a day when I should be on deadline) but instead I have concocted a string of ingenious lies and alibis. I have convinced my coworkers and peers that a dire event has transpired, which, in its urgency Jack's Pond surrounded by vegetation. Photo by David Ruiz begs my attention. It's not far from the truth, however. Being 23, I am not afforded enough job security to simply tell my boss that I need to go for a hike. But this is all inconsequential, old news, as the editors of The Pride would call it because I have already put on my hiking shoes, and I will fly them like the United States flag until the wilderness liberates me. Jack's Pond lies in the Southeastern foothills of San Marcos. My trail manual describes it as a 1/2 mile easy hike to the shores of the pond. To the untrained eye, the trail's beginning looks like another city park-full of evenly trimmed grass, a swing set and a bench, full of young mothers who carefully watch their children from a distance. "Why do they call it Jack's Pond," a young mother asked me as I stopped to tie my shoes. "I don't see a pond here. That's just so silly, Jack's Pond," I guess she didn't see the small lake her boy was making by holding down the lever to the drinking fountain. However, she was right; Jack's Pond is nowhere in sight only track homes and foliated hills surround the playground. Like all of nature's beauties, however, it lies down the road less traveled. I didn't want to tell her; selfishly enough, that I like to keep its entrance a secret. Embarking on my journey was like stepping into the wild and all the trappings of society disappeared from me sensory range. Even the noises from nearby earthmovers ceased. In fact, the only domesticated sound I could hear was a pair of roosters crowing; I guess news of the morning's arrival travels like everything else in the country: Tax Payers for Accountability and Better Schools, Prop 39 would place more power in the hands of each individual school district, allowing each school district to gather the necessary money for their area's educational needs. Opponents to Prop 39 point out a possible flaw in the proposition that does not regulate property tax limits. Considering property taxes are often the primary means for raising school related revenues, such an oversight in Prop 39 would, as the Save Our Home's Committee states, "raise the rent on homes in areas trying to raise as much money as a pupil in Beverly Hills receives." By: Christopher F. Orman Pride Staff Writer On Tuesday, November 7, voters will have the opportunity to decide the fate of eight propositions, four of which are extremely controversial. Ranging from campaign finance reform to school vouchers, each of the four "major" propositions could make a major impact upon the life of Californians. Prop 38: The voucher proposition The most heavily debated of the four propositions, Prop 38, centralizes around the future of public educational institutions. Also known as the "voucher proposition," Prop 38 would allow each pupil to receive $4,000 dollars annually for private or religious schooling. While Prop 38 would give parents greater discretion over their children's educational arena, some groups, such as A Coalition of Parents, incessantly argue with the proposition's approval, the public school system's future will be doomed, and that 3 billion dollars would be eradicated from the public education system. my now bare feet. It proceeded to spread its wings in an unfettered display of brevity; I submitted to its beauty and did not dare to move. In a flash it was gone and I closed my eyes. Lulled by the sound of tiny waves lapping at the shore, I began to dream. I pictured the bobcat, graceful creature whose prints I had noticed by the shoreline just moments before my sleep. I pictured it carving down the hillside for a drink at night. I thought of all the wild creatures in the hillsides, of Native Americans and times long gone, but, more importantly, I thought of Jack. Who could he have been; a drifting cowboy who had found his paradise or an heir to hundreds of fertile acres in the next valley over who gave it all away for this pond? To my surprise, I awoke in the shade. The sun had long since slipped behind the coastal hills and a cold wind was blowing. I dawned my shirt in a hurry and tied my shoes. I had a dinner date with a loved one at six-the cries of a city bayed in the afternoon. However, as I drove home locking bumpers with my fellow rats in traffic, I, for one, felt less like a rodent. My soul had been washed and my conscious cleaned by the sun and by the shores where I slept away my day, where I forgot my troubles for a moment-at Jack's Pond. Western Group whom opposes Prop 34, writes, "Incumbent politicians will be begging for money,..forcing challengers to seek funds from any and all sources." Proposition Overview: The Debatable Four Pond photo by David Ruiz slow. Exotic smells of coastal sage, sweet fennel and chamise tempted my nose as if pulling me farther into the wilderness. Off in the distance wild quail, caught off guard by my footsteps, scampered into the bushes. I walked, I dreamed, I took my shirt off and soaked in the sun. A couple hundred yards up the trail old Jack, as I liked to call him, revealed his secret-the pond that stretched out before my eyes. It's a rather unconventional water hole at first glance, longer than it is wide; it reminds me of a river that had been dammed from both ends. But I was not interested in it's aesthetic appeal, I had to get down to its shore. Choosing the first available route down, however steep, is sort of a mistake that I make constantly, but, like all failure, falling down makes us realize how human we are. Here I was though, at the shore, oh serene cove. Surrounding the beaches, which I could not see in their entirety were Coastal Live Oaks, tall thickets of Black Bamboo, olive trees and toolies. Everything was quiet, and I lied down. Just then, a fish in search of its next meal broke the calm waters of the lake. However, it was to no avail because the dragonfly it was after drifted on, lackadaisically and oddly enough landed on a blade of grass near Prop 34: Limits on sizes of campaign contributions? Considering the large amount of attention garnered by Props 38 and 39, some may overlook one proposition on the ballot receiving national attention: Prop 34. Proposing to place limits on the size of campaign contributions per election ($3,000 for state legislature elections, $5,000 for statewide office elections and $20,000 for governor elections), Prop 34 hopes to create a more democratic environment in the election of a candidate. Some pundits argue the exact opposite, Prop 39 believing Prop 34 would threatProp 39, proposes a 55% in- en to make fund raising a more favor vote for passing any locally corrupt, special interest practice. mandated bonds/ According to Lonri Granlund, representing the Prop 36: Treatment of drug offenders Probably the most controversial and emotionally charged proposition on the ballot is Prop 36, which reconsiders the ways in which drug offenders are treated and incarcerated. According to the proposition, individuals apprehended in possession or under the influence of narcotics would require probation and drug treatment, but not incarceration. After completing probation and treatment, subsequent charges against the individual would be dropped. Many individuals arguing against Prop 36 fear the proposition would allow individuals maliciously selling the "daterape" drug a light slap on the wrist. However, in response to the "date-rape" drug conundrum, individuals apprehended for selling or giving someone the heinous "date-rape" substance would receive several charges, and face incarceration for a multitude of violations.

The value of the U.S. dollar attracted many of these Green Valley inhabitants. "One of your dollars is enough for us," stated one man. He also expressed how he felt he was treated "like a dog" from time to time. One scene shows Martinez driving around North County pointing out the work that his friends in the camp have done, "See all the beautiful yards? These workers are needed. But after their work is done, the employees just want them to disappear." Thefilmcontrasted the affluent homes in North County with the homes that were in this particular migrant camp. The typical "homes" in the Green Valley camp consisted of bushes containing makeshift shacks made of plywood, plastic, and dirt floors. There were also "spider holes," which are little homes made from mud caves and cardboard used as flooring. The documentary shows how some North County homeowners became upset about the Green Valley camp and its close proximity to their own homes. Some of the homeowners also complained that Green Valley inhabitants stole food and defecated near the property. According to the surrounding community's Health Department, a water source and sewage maintenance were just two of the many necessities missing from Green Valley, making it a "very unhealthful environment". Could people actually live in these conditions? The documentary revealed that it was possible. More than 400 men, women, and children had lived there over the ten years that the camp had been in existence. However, property owners were ordered to either improve conditions in the camp or abate the situation. During the 1989 filming of the documentary, the Green Valley property owners were the Hunt Brothers, wealthy Texas men who were not living in the San Diego area. The owners in this case chose to close Green Valley rather than improve conditions in the camp. "It's like leaving our home once again and having to start all over," says one man, whose family was evicted from Green Valley. Paul Espinosa, who wrote, directed, and produced Uneasy Neighbors, told how he felt a very strong sense of community in the camp. "And that was kind of destroyed the last days of the camp," he says.

Http://www.fool.com/ con- Uneasy Neighbors Explores Migrant Work Camps in San Diego By: Victoria B. Segall Pride Editor On Thursday, September 28, an audience of 15 people gathered in Commons 206 to view Paul Espinosa's documentary, Uneasy Neighbors, which explores the relationship between migrant workers and affluent homeowners in San Diego's North County. The film deals with the tension between migrant workers and homeowners and questions whether there is any alternative to the two living side by side as "uneasy neighbors." Uneasy Neighbors was filmed in Encinitas in 1989. The main focus of the film is a migrant camp, "Green Valley," that used to be located in the area close to La Costa, Carlsbad, and Encinitas. "They're here because we offer the jobs. We need t hem" says Reverend Martinez who is a retired Presbyterian Minister. Martinez was a prominent figure in providing assistance to the people who lived in the Green Valley camp. Explorations: Uneasy Neighbors The film explores the types of employment that migrant workers found in construction, landscaping, or domestic help in surrounding areas like Encinitas. During the filming of this documentary, one worker in the camp was only rant," which consisted of a family within the camp that prepared meals on a grill in a makeshift shack. "Many people don't realize that they are human beings," stated Reverend Martinez, "They spend money to save whales, but what about people? It's the greatest of absurdities. It's a matter of priorities and values in society." The 35-minute documentary expressed the need for federal laws and government action to help deal with the situation between the homeowners and the migrant workers. One solution that helped some of the inhabitants of Green Valley was lowincome housing. "But we have far to go still," says Espinosa. Paul Espinosa: The Director Uneasy Neighbors was named one of the top 100 Chicano Films by the Aztlan Film Institute, established by UCLA's Chicano Studies Research Center. Espinosa was drawn to the subject of uneasy neighbors in 1986 when many immigration laws were being passed. Mainstream media wasn't too interested in some of these stories and Espinosa felt that there was an incomplete picture of what was happening between migrant workers and homeowners. "It [film] wasn't made just for the local audience here in San Diego County," says Espinosa, "It's also for all American cities and it deals with the rich and poor." During the discussion following Uneasy Neighbors, Espinosa spoke about the people he met at Green Valley while making the documentary. "Reverend Martinez, who's in his late 60's, hadn't planned on getting involved. But he was shocked," said Espinosa, "It shows the power of what an individual can do when they get involved. And this brings up the question of what we can do to break down some of these barriers." Paul Espinosa's experience includes being a long-time producer for public television programs dealing with the United States-Mexican relations. His current project is a documentary dealing with the causes and outcomes of the war between Mexico and the U.S. and will be showing at the Museum of Contemporary Art from October 5 and 12. Espinosa, who grew up in New Mexico, has lived in San Diego County for 25 years. He has a great interest in informing people on relations, the culture, and the people of Latin America. "If you don't know what happened in the past, you're going to look at this subject a little differently," says Espinosa. �The Brown Bag Concert Series By: Christopher F. Orman Pride Staff Writer Eclectic would summarize CSUSM's Brown Bag Concert series that occurred at noon by the Dome on September 25 to September 28. As a whole, Brown Bag Concert series certainly gave CSUSM students an opportunity to discover sounds not included in standard radio formats. The Charles McPherson Quartet, Second - Avenue Klezmer Ensemble, Earl Thomas and the Blues Ambassadors, and rootsrockers The Blazers, adequately covered a plethora of often overlooked musical idioms. Following several originals, McPherson and his compatriots flew passionately into a highspeed version of Sonny Rollins' classic St. Thomas. Playing three times the notes included in Rollins' studio version of St. Thomas, McPherson clearly revealed his expertise and all around musical dexterity. The Charles McPherson Quartet cannot be considered any typical, mediocre jazz band. In fact, some of the music played by McPherson and his band rivaled performances by well-known jazz acts at respected venues such as Humphrey's and Escondido Center for the Arts. All thatjazz Singin'the blues On Monday, September 25, Charles McPherson's Quartet opened with a stirring rendition of My Favorite Things, which was made infamous by the late John Coltrane. McPherson made special use of his back up band, empathetically moving his saxophone in and out of the crowd, thereby accuentating the potent mix of drums, bass, and piano. Possibly the most energetic act of the week was Earl Thomas and the Blues Ambassadors who began their brief ^lues-based set with the wonderfully lascivious Fred McDowell song, Drop Down Mama. Considering the large notoriety being garnered by acts like Taj Mahal, Corey Harris and the North Mississippi Allstars, blues bands continue to rise out of A Perfect Circle That ability has led to the incredible popularity of Tool and has helped A Perfect Circle sell more albums in the first week of its On Monday, September 11, release than any other debut A Perfect Circle was nearly as band.

I feel it is important to ask a few questions about the issue before it is voted on. What Student Union? The web page: www.csusm.edu/ student affairs/ Info%20Items/university student union referendum.htm about the Clarke Field House/ University Student Union states "What is the Clarke Field House/University Student Union? The proposed building will provide a multi-purpose gymnasium, weight/exercise room, locker rooms and showers, sports medicine facility, equipment storage and offices. It will also include conference space and meeting rooms, student government offic- t 1 : : es and a convenience store." There is NO mention of a student union, only athletic related facilities, offices and meeting rooms. Why is this issue being called Clarke Field House/University Student Union when there is no student union listed as part of the proposal? When will the fee end? It never does. The fee increase will only end if a future referendum passes to eliminate it. Is this the best or the only funding option? Is a $7.4 million dollar facility what we need? According to the above listed web page, "the estimated construction costs for the Clarke Field House/University Student Union is between $7.1 and $7.4 million." And that "$2.7 million will be identified in gifts and grants." If $2.7 million can be raised in gifts and grants, why not build a facility for $2.7 million? If it is really necessary for the much more expensive building to be built, have other funding avenues been exhausted? Corporate sponsorship perhaps? Around the county, "The Murph" is now Qualcom Stadium, and there is the Coors Ampitheater, SDSU has the Cox Arena. Perhaps CSUSM should look in to having a Philip Morris or MGD Student Union? (Indecently, I bet if there was a convenience store in the student union with a liquor license, more students would use it). Is there any guarantee regarding how the money will be spent? Not that I have seen. I feel it is deceptive for the two measures to be generally referred to by the same name, as they are very different. Measure One deals with the construction of a FIELD HOUSE that supposedly contains some unspecified portion of it to be used for an interim student union, yet the proposal listed on the web does not list a student union. Measure Two actually deals with the construction of a student union almost 20 years from now. The question is not necessarily about voting no to the construction, but voting no to these measures. Only vote yes when a proposal comes along that better specifies how funds will be allocated and for how long. Vote NO on Measure One and Two. Jafo wac San Marcos: By: Jared E. Young Pride Staff Writer Why would anyone want to live in Arizona? Now, I'm not knocking people who live there, but I am questioning their motives for doing so. It's hot, muggy, plagued by smog, isolated, and, well, it really isn't the nicest place to live. Why am I talking about Arizona, you ask? Well, because that is where this article is being written. I decided to come out here to visit some friends for a few days and take a break from school, work, life-from everything, basically (it didn't hurt that Bad Religion was playing a concert out here, either).

While attending CSUSM, I was actively involved in various organizations on campus. As a past Orientation-Team Leader, I gave tours to the incoming students. The main question asked by most freshmen was "Where do you usually spend your time in between classes"? Unfortunately I had to tell them that I had no choice but to try to find a place in the Dome. As an "O-Team" Leader, I saw the importance of the University Student Union so I became a member of the University Student Union Advisory Board. The need for this facility became even more obvious to me while serving on the USUAB. For study group meetings, the only choices are the Library, where the group meeting rooms are always occupied, or the Dome, which never has tables available. ;'*s' noo^^^^'-^plw^ ^BUBMIT to A LETTER pubjicati^ Sincerely, Beauty Undiscovered erate temperatures at the end of the day.

And the increase in cost is still so low: only $30. I understand $30 is a substantial amount for a student, but if you think about it, it is only 40 cents a day per semester, excluding weekends. Most of the students will probably say, "Sure it is very easy for alumni to support this since they will not be paying a penny for it." I am currently a graduate student at SDSU and the Student Union fee is higher - $71/per semester; and I'm glad students before me saw the need to build a place for students to meet. I hope my letter reaches students at CSUSM.

For the average person the answer would seem to be simplistic: you have to run every day until you build up some endurance and then go mach five during a race. Some of that might be true, but to get a better idea you should ask the members of the CSUSM crosscountry team. Some of the runners put in up to fifty miles of road work per week in preparation for the competition. The men compete, in an eight-kilometer (5.3 miles) long race, while the women run the distance of five-kilometers (3.1 miles). The scoring for each event is determined by the placement of individual runners as they cross the finish line. The team's five best runners are identified and the lowest scoring team wins. Before the start of each race the runners must-warm Tip their bodies by a routine of stretching and running. Depending on the individual, this may take as much as an hour. Also before the race, runners must conduct a reconnaissance of the course to get a clear idea of the route, and its condition. Final preparations include last minute instructions from coaches, and making sure the runners are wearing their "numbers," which, help officials determine placement. Then the runners move over to the starting line for the race. For the details on how the game is played though, you have to talk to the players. When asked if they believed that cross country should be classified a "non-contact" sport, some of the runners gave a few sly grins and some rolling eyes. "I still have scars down there," said junior Heather Garritson, pointing to the marks on her ankle that were made as a result of the wars that occur at the start of Annual Cougar Chase » Continued from p g. 1 Coach Steve Scott Photo by Steve Compian Coach Scott, a former Olympian, had enough gas left in his tank to run back along the course to cheer on the rest of the runners. One of those runners was Bob Mangrum, for whom the school's track was named. "I had a great time," said Mr. Mangrum, who won in his age category at a time of 23 minutes and 11 seconds, even though he was still recovering from a hamstring pull. In between the races, Coach Scott kept busy by signing t-shirts and giving advice to the young runners. "You want to start off slow and then have enough for the finish," he told a group of kids.Later, the coach ran with the kids during the IK Cub Run, while shouting encouragement to the young competitors. Little Vincent Loretti was the last runner to cross the finish line, which officially ended competition at the Second Annual Cougar Chase. . AH the participants were treated to refreshments that included complimentary slices of Fruschetta Pizza. The line for the pizza was almost as busy as the line to see the posted official results, with everyone looking to see where they had placed. At the awards ceremony, all the top runners received their awards from Coach Scott. Every child who crossed the finish line also received a medal from Coach Scott. Seventy-one year old Ed Maher and seventy-six year old John Cross were among those who received congratulations. Maher finished in the time of 25 minutes and 9 seconds and Cross' time was 27 minutes and 27 seconds for the 3.1 mile event. each race. Garritson suffered her injuries when other runners used the cleats of their shoes, meant to gain traction, as weapons to fight for position in the closely compressed pack of runners. The physical contact that the runners endure isn't limited to the lower torso. "They hack and push," said sophomore Kenneth Nwadike, as he demonstrated with downward gestures with a pointed elbow. It continues to get physical during the race, too. Senior Renee MacDonald told how she and another girl became "attached" as they arrived at the halfway point of the Aztec Invitational 5k race. "She just kept pulling on my arm until I finally yanked it away," said MacDonald. The end of the race is the last chance that the runners have to secure the highest place in the competition, which equates to points for the team. It is common for large groups to arrive at the finish line together, conceiv- RETIREMENT ably at the same time. The difference between 30th and 42nd place may only be a couple of seconds, but for the total team score, the 12-point margin becomes very important. In order to get noticed, freshman Josh Wing said, "The coaches teach us to raise our hands." The runners must also have the presence of mind to hand in their "numbers" at the finish line where an electronic scanner turns bar codes into official results. After the race is over, the runners must cool their bodies down with some light jogging and stretching to prevent injury. The women's race usually lasts from 18 to 27 minutes, while the men's competition can last from 25 to 32 minutes. By the time the awards ceremony has been conducted, the athletes may have invested five to six hours of their day towards the races, not counting travel time. Then it's back to practice next week to start all over again. W StttRft«i|::; M U T U A L F U N D S Thoughts on...

Masks or no masks, it's that time of the year again, and students campuswide are gearing up and getting ready for the annual excursion. Last year, only days before the dance, ASI sold out of the 500 tickets they had available. When they reached their maximum capacity at the HardRock Café in La Jolla, they simply decided that one dance a year was not enough and later held the first ever Spring Fling. This year, in order to meet the demand of the student body, ASI moved the event to H.O.B. in the Gaslamp. ASI Coordinator of Student Activities, Sara Gallegos, saysi "We expect to sell out at 1,000 tickets." With less than one week left before the ball, 755 tickets have already been sold at the rate of lt)0 tickets per week. Gallegos believes that the Masquerade Ball and other events put on by ASI are growing ever more popular as enrollment increases along with the higher number of younger students attending CSUSM. Although the H.O.B. has a restaurant, students and their guests will occupy the music hall and bar. ASI recommends that students eat at the surrounding restaurants. Tickets are on sale now in Commons See BALL, page 2 V OL. X VI N O. 7 Photo by Amanda Andreen / The Pride Student Health Center located across on the corner of Craven and Twin Oaks Valley Rd. Tuberculosis: Edgar Allen Poe died from it. Nelson Mandela lives with it. And last week at San Diego State University, a foreign exchange student living in the dorms was diagnosed with it. Although most people believe he contracted the disease overseas, it does not take much for tuberculosis to spread. TB is spread through the air from sneezes, coughs, and even from just talking with a person face to face. Symptoms of tuberculosis include an unusual feeling of weakness, weight loss, night sweats, coughing, and chest pain. Ultimately, those who are at higher risk for Image cöurtesy of contracting the versapharm.com disease are people who share the same breathing space with those who have TB. But j ust because someone is infected with the bacteria that causes tuberculosis, does not mean they will contract it, only 10% of individuals develop the actual disease. If individuals do not develop the.disease, the tuberculosis bacteria strain remains dormant in their system. Some individuals are not capable of fighting off the infection which causes the bacteria to grow. As a result, these individuals eventually develop active tuberculosis and experience the ailing shortcomings of the chronic disease.

ÌCF will do this with the help of volunteers, CSUSM students, and their AIDS in Africa tent. The twenty-foot long tent, on the grass in front of the library, will display pictures the fever of adults and children in Africa living with AIDS. CSUSM students will stand in front of the tent and welcome people inside where they will be given headphones to listen to testimonies of people who have suffered from AIDS. As they listen, they will have the opportunity to view pictures in the surrounding tentt. Upon leaving the AIDS in Africa tent, students will be given a stamp on their hand that declares them HIV positive or negative, pertaining to the statistics of people who have AIDS in Africa. IFC's mission is to experience God, and change the world. Their mission for the tent is to have CSUSM students respond economically, politically and spiritually. They hope the emotional impact will cause the students to react in any way they can, whether it is raising funds, writing letters to senators, or praying to God. Ultimately they want each student to ask themselves one question: How can I take action?

For those living in close proximity to one another, such as in the dorms on campus (where most apartments have six roommates to an apartment), the best way to prevent tuberculosis is to keep the apartment well ventilated. A PPD skin test is the easiest way to detect the TB infection or the TB disease in an individual. If an individual tests positive for the infection, chest X-rays would be required for a doctor to see if the disease caused any permanent lung damage. Even if an individual has the TB infection, they cannot spread it to others. However, it will be easier for them to develop the TB disease in the future. For those who have the inactive TB, the best way to kill the infection is to take Isoniazid or INH antibiotics for nine months with one pill a day. Those with the TB infection or disease must participate in regular checkups for the rest of their life. Infected individuals would then take a course of INH antibiotics. After treatment there is a less than 1% chance that the individual will develop the TB disease. cepts that ultimately lead to a healthy lifestyle and can prevent tuberculosis among other diseases. They are familiar to us as the otfe piece of advice we hear over and over again: adequate amounts of sleep, continuous exercise and a healthy diet. With today's modern medicine and technology, people can live their lives with the TB infection or disease.

With over five million articles from topics such as the history of the fork to current trends and popular items like the iPod, wikipedia. org covers anything and everything. CSUSM student April Paustian, a Literature and Writing Studies major planning to graduate in with the class of 2009 says, "You can find so many different topics at once. Anything I know I want, I can get it [on Wikipedia]." Before*I used Wikipedia as a research tool, I used Google to find relevant information. Google however is merely a search site and does not host content of its own. After a year of using Google to locate various sources of content information, I was impressed by the ease of having one centralized, searchable information source. One click on "add to favorites" and Wikipedia became my main online research tool. I typically use Wikipedia for school, but lately I have been using the website for personal use as well. For example, I wanted to know what the "check digit" was regarding the vehicle identification number (VIN) for my car. Not only did Wikipedia have a clear explanation, but the site even provided the formula that produce^,the check digit number.

One such resource is the Language Lab/ Language Learning Center (LLC) that has been available to students since the inception of CSUSM. However, one problem currently facing administrators is making new students aware of its availability here on campus. / Students currently studying a foreign language on campus are encouraged to stop by the LLC, because of the wonderful help provided by its tutors. For example, Richard Lewis, a Business Finance major and senior here at CSUSM, likes going to the LLC because there are tutors available almost anytime throughout the week.

After all, "It's Free!" says Michael Hughes, CSUSM Assistant Professor of German and Spanish. Hughes also encourages his students to go to the Language Lab and get help from the tutors on their papers and homework. Another student, Randy Saldivar, a senior and President of the Kamalayan Alliance, raves about the LLC tutors: "Peter Vu was a great help to me when it came to understanding and practicing my Japanese." It seems that the general consensus is that the tutors are truly helpful at the LLC. Interestingly enough, the LLC contains many computer workstations that vary from televisions and cassette tape players, to interactive computers with built-in specialized language tools. The language tools are pivotal in facilitating the correct applications of language translations. The translating capacity and Photo by Nocholas Vandeusen / The Pride Language Learning Center located in University Hall Rooms 240 and 260. degree of specialization the LLC offers could mean the difference between an "A" paper and a "C" paper. One final note about the technology in the LLC is that it contains a "vast variety of audio and visual equipment that help out with students' learning experience of a foreign language," says Saldivar. "Lastly and maybe most importantly, is the fact that the collaboration between CSUSM professors and the LLC staff is what really makes the LLC advantageous to CSUSM students. To create a more conducive learning environment for students, professors such as Hughes, implement lesson plans that integrate tutor participation during specific lectures. Another objective the Centers for Learning and Academic Support Services (CLASS) has is to centralize the many student-based services here on campus. Located in Craven 4107, Senior CLASS Director Lorena Meza affirms that, "We are here to support our students by providing them with the resources necessary for academic excellence." Promoting the edification of his peers, Lewis adds, "I [would] definitely recommend it to other students." Next time you're struggling with your Spanish, consider going to the Language Learning Center/Language Lab for all of you foreign language needs, or just for a quiet place to study. The LLC is located in University Hall Rooms 240 and 260, and is open Mon through Thu 9:15 a.m. to 5:45 p.m., Fri 9:15 a.m. to 2:45 p.m., and closed Sat & Sun.

On the course, their only tournament win came in the Region II Championships against three other teams with mediocre talent. Off of the course, the team was withcpt Coach Fred Hanover, who was dismissed from his position. Things started to turn around towards the end of t he season last year when the women were able to place fourth at Nationals. The momentum continued during t he summer when Hanover was brought back to his role of bead coach. Last week, the Cougars continued the good news as they opened their 2006 season with a victory at The Grand Canyon Fall 'invitational in West Phoenix, Ariz. ^ "It feels fantastic,*? says Hanover. "They did everything necessary t o, have a successful tournament." As a team, the Cougars shot 609, which was 11 shots less than second place team, Southern Nazarene (620). The winner of the individual tournament was CSUSM Senior Jennell French, her first win since the 2005 Cougar Classic. French managed to finish her two round total with 146 (73-73). "I've been working very hard," says French. "It's impressive that we all came together as a team." Men's C.C. Takes 4th at Riverside; Meija Shines Again According to French, her last three holes were the highlights of the tournament. "I finished birdie, birdie, par, and I was behind the last three holes," reports French. Apparently her performance was contagious to her Cougar teammates. Sophomore Ellyse Siu stood out among her teammates, displaying significant improvement since her freshman year, and finishing fourth with a two^round total of 150 (76-74). "Best performance I've ever had," says Siii. "Everything felt right.", Senior Christina Austin shared 12th place with a score of 156 (79-77), and one shot behind was Carly Ludwig, a junior, with a score of 157 (80-77). Hanover and t he Cougars continue to set their sights on the National Championship for the 2006-2007 year. However, Hanover insists there is much room for improvement before National's in the spring. "Hopefully they will continue to play hard and even better," says Hanover, "I don't even think this is their best performance." Hanover's goals are certainly not lost on the team's performance. "We really have a strong team this year," French says. "Everyone wants to play well, make our school look good, and represent CSUSM." csu The California State University WORKING f OR CALIFORNIA CSU Students and Faculty Deserve the Best CSU students and the faculty at our 23 campuses need and deserve a learning environment that is conducive to providing quality education. That is why the CSU is disappointed that the California Faculty Association did not allow its members to evaluate the most recent proposal put on the table by the CSU, which includes: • A 24.87 percent salary increase over four years, beginning in 2006/07, contingent upon funding of the Compact with the Governor and an additional I percent augmentation f or compensation • Continuation of the Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERP), reducing the number of years from five to four • Incentive and equity pay program for full professors and tenure-track professors • No changes to faculty eligibility for PERS retirement • Health and dental benefits above the standard for California and other universities • Attractive lecturer rights • Gradually increased parking fees for faculty so at the end of 4 years they pay the same parking fees as students The CSU hopes these issues can be resolved soon so that our faculty can receive the salary increases they deserve, and our students can continue receiving the quality education they expect from the California State University. For more details please visit the CSU web site at http://wvvwx,aistatexvdu/bargaining~ status/ Though they are just three events into the season, the CSUSM men's cross country team is giving Cougar fans plenty of reason to get excited about the squad's potential to compete at Nationals. At the UC Riverside Cross Country Invitational on Sunday, the men placed a solid fourth place out of 15 teams. This comes one week after they posted a second place finish at San Diego State, and two weeks after finishing fifth in their season-opener at Irvine. In ail; three events, the squad was led by senior Juan Mejia, who appears poised to carve out a place for himself in the program's history. At Riverside on Sunday, Mejia notched his second top-5 finish in three events, taking 4th place. He finished the fivemile run with a time of24:29.40. He was followed by Phil Hoffman, who placed 18th with a time of 25:19.70. Just behind him was Mike Crouch, finishing 22nd. Rounding out the Cougars' top five were Sergio Gonzalez (35th), and Thomas Thys (39th). The event was narrowly won by Southern Utah, who edged out host school U.C. Riverside. Cal Poly Pomona took third place, followed by CSUSM. Below are the full results of the Cougars' top-5 runners, with their place for team-scoring purposes (not including runners who participated individually). Top 5 Cougar Men*4 Juan Meija 24:29.40 •17 Phil Hoffman25:19.70 »21 Mike Crouch 25:30.40*32 Sergio Gonzalez 25:59.50«36 Thomas Thys 26:09.00 Resounding 4-0 Victory over La Sierra for Men's Soccer Coming off an emotional 1-0 win at Biola, the Cougar men won in a much less thrilling, but equally effective fashion on Sunday, coasting to a 4-0 home victory over La Sierra. From the opening kickoff, it was clear that CSUSM (9-2) had the upper hand. The Cougars controlled play throughout the first half, connecting on passes to create scoring opportunities and shutting down La Sierra's offense entirely. The Cougars' back line was impenetrable, with fullbacks Brian Luhrs and Chris Dunckel playing especially strong defensive games. La Sierra could not generate any kind of sustained attack on Cougar keeper Trent Painter; who, with the help of the strong defense, earned his sixth shutout of the season. The 4-0 score would hold up for the Cougars' ninth win in eleven tries this season. The team appears to have rebounded stronger than ever from its last loss, a 2-1 heartbreaker against Vanguard University two weeks ago, as evidenced by its wins over Biola and now La Sierra. The team will carry its momentum into three straight road games, the first being on October 7 at UC Santa Cruz. �Tuesday, October 3, 2006 OPINION THE PRIDE Jock talk w ith Josh: "T.O." BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Sports Writer Who said Terrell Owens doesn't care about other people? He nearly made me happy with his "accidental overdose" on September 26. I can count on one hand the number of people in sports that I don't like to write or talk about; Terrell Owens is one of those people. The reports of his "accidental overdose," which he talked about last week, were the final straw for me. Owens likes the spotlight. Who doesn't like the spotlight? I know I love it, but I know I wouldn't go to the lengths that he has gone to, to maintain it. Name another star wide receiver in the NFL that has a publicist speaking for him. I think Owens has used a spokesperson more over the past six years than George W. Bush has. Tell me another player in the league that has Deion Sanders stepping outside of hi& home to ward off the media. That's kind of like being a prostitute and having a stripper defend your character. Deion isn't exactly the best person to have in your corner. Name another player in the league that hires unintelligent personnel to mediate that spotlight. There are so many sketchy things around this whole "accidental overdose." First off, I have spent more than my fair share of time in the hospital for various surgeries. I have also taken many different types of painkillers. Before doctors hand out those types of drugs, they make sure they know every other medication that you are taking, so that something doesn't mix wrong and you end up killing yourself. With that said, Owens' claim that his painkillers mixed wrong with supplements that he was taking is something that is not very believable in my mind. He also claimed to have taken extra painkillers the night of the incident. Owens is notorious for monitoring what he puts in his body. The man doesn't drink alcohol or smoke anything. He doesn't take anything in excess, so now he's telling us that he took a few extra painkillers? That doesn't follow his personality. Having a sketchy story to begin with is one thing, but having incompetent people around you is another. Kim Etheredge, Owens' publicist, is quite possibly the worst publicist I have ever seen. While she was fielding questions from the media on September 27, she did so many things wrong. She showed up at the press conference looking completely haggard. She wasn't dressed in business attire and she looked like she had just woken up in a gutter. In the communication business, non-verbal communication is sometimes more important than the verbal aspects (shout out to all my Communication professors). Her job is to get people on Owens' side. Talk about an impossible job. Her job is to not make it obvious that she is trying to get public opinion in her favor, but she failed to do so. She tried way too hard to look like she had been up all night worrying about her client. It doesn't take very long to jump in the shower and dress in business attire. She also ruined it with two statements that stuck out in my head. In the middle of the press conference she said,. "Had this been someone else, this might not have happened." She is referring to this circus not even being a possibility for anyone else in the league. She couldn't be more right, because no one else in the league wants this kind of negative attention. Owens is the only person in the league who doesn't care what kind of attention he gets, just as long as he gets attention. Also, news flash to her, if Owens wasn't Owens then she wouldn't have a job. The second ignorant comment that she made actually occurred as she was leaving the press conference when she said, "Terrell has 25 million reasons why he should be alive." Reminding the public how much money Owens is going to make is not a smart idea, especially when the average person can't even fathom what 25 million dollars looks like. Building a further divide like that is not good public relations. I really despise the media in situations like this. I can't stand E.SPN, because they, along with the rest of journalists across the world, created his enormous ego. "T.O." would still be Terrell Owens, if it weren't for the media. If it weren't for ESPN, Owens wouldn't have an audience for his freak show. The 3 p.m. PST Sportscenter on September 27 spent nearly the whole hour talking about him. It's really sad that ESPN spent pretty much the same time on Owens that they did covering the New Orleans Saints first game back in the Superdome after Hurricane Katrina. I hope Terrell Owens and ESPN run a fly pattern off a building somewhere.

We got some work to do now. Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where Are You? We need some help from you now," plays in my head as I take the first sip of my Scooby Snack. The Hanna-Barbera produced cartoon, "Scooby Doo," is the inspiration for this tasty treat: the Scooby Snack cocktail. A smooth mixture of Midori, Malibu Rum, pineapple juice and whipped cream, the Scooby Snack is not only a popular choice, but it's the best tasting cocktail I've ever had. In the cartoon, Shaggy and Scooby, known for fending off ghouls and monsters, chow down on Scooby Snacks—which in the show are caramel-flavored cookies—all the time. I'm not sure how such a delicious drink came to be, and earned the name "Scooby Snack," but it's only fitting that we celebrate the mystery-loving spirit inside each of us with the month of Halloween upon us by indulging in the rich and delectable drink. Served chilled in a Collins glass, the Scooby Snack suits just about any occasion. Creamy, sweet and mouthwatering, the whipped cream is the icing on the cake for this mixed drink. A "far out" delight of spectacular measures, the Scooby Snack fits into the category of what the cartoon Scooby snacks were described as: a flavorful, fictional food item of peculiar and uncertain origin. Minus the fictional aspect, the Scooby Snack is all of the above. After doing research on Scooby Snacks, I discovered that i|ot only are Scooby Snacks a Beer trademarked product that Warner Bros, markets as a brand of dog treats and as a human-friendly cookie snack, but that Scooby Snack is also slang for "magic mushrooms" that alter one's state of consciousness. What does this information have to do with the irresistible cocktail, you ask? Well, as it turns out, the name "Scooby Snack" has been used for dozens of other products and consumable materials (beverages included) that are as alluring as they are unexplainable; just as the taste and my experience of consuming a Scooby Snack cocktail was unbelievable, yet simultaneously inexplicable. If only we knew who created the mystifying combination of the yummy elements, then we might be able to shed behind the S cooby Snack and perhaps thank its creator. Until then, I guess the Scooby Snack will remain a mystery.,. N EW!!!

While the overall taste is not unpleasant, it's not particularly complex and perhaps a little sweet for an Oktoberfest brew. The aftertaste is warm, slightly dry and bitter. Karl Strauss Oktoberfest is stronger and darker than their normal brews and while it is not as complex or as bold as some other Oktoberfest brews, the result is a very drinkable beer. Next week we will look at a final Oktoberfest beer for the season brewed in the United States: Samuel Adams' Oktoberfest brew. m 10ft.

Lost, that is, until last week. A $1 million donation, the largest single donation received by the university, was given by Keith and Jean Kellogg of Rancho Santa Fe, for the design of a permanent library build­ ing. It will be paid over a two year period. “We hope this gift will advance our li­ brary on the CSU Trustees' priority list for K eith Kellogg construction projects. I know that the legisla............... rrn ^ ....... - ture and the governor will appreciate their .. generosity as much as we do on this campus," said President Bill Stacy. Keith Kellogg, 89, is the grandson of Kellogg cereal company founder W.K Kellogg. He and his wife have been committed philanthropists, do­ nating funds to various universities around the country. The Kelloggs have supported CSUSM in the past. They established a scholarship endowment with a $100,000 donation to CSUSM and gave $50,000 to aid a Student Union feasibility study Design work on the campus library will take approximately 18 months, according to campus physical planning director Russell Decker. The library building itself bears a construction price-tag of $31.5 mil­ lion. The university hopes to receive state grants and further donations to cover the cost. Construction will take roughly 20 months, Decker said. Photo by George Cagala/Public Affairs The library building, seen here in front of Craven Hall, will be : designed over an 18 month period. Once funding is secured, its estimated construction time is 20 months. �N ews The Prude, Wednesday, Ocroben 30, 1996______ W hat's N ews Scholarships available Markenstein Beverage Co- Two $750 scholarships available for graduate or undergraduate students with a cu­ mulative or CSUSM GPA of 3.0 or higher, who are cur­ rently enrolled in at least six units of business or pre-busi­ ness majors.

Fall library suggestions I have had a great deal of trouble locating books that are listed as available - Today - The third book this semester - call # F869 .S3996 .C37. When in­ quire at the desk they tell me a student must be read­ ing it in the library or it is on a cart waiting to be shelved - This can not be the case - Last time this excuse went on for several weeks - 1 finally gave up - This time this is supposedly the case for several days - This is frus­ trating [?] and should be delt [sic] with - no excuses!!! In such a case, ask that a hold be placed for you- if the book really is missing, we will probably reorder it and will be happy to borrow it through interlibrary loan in the meantime. ************** Where are the patrons? It is so quiet here in the library. You must have visited our library during the quieter summer months. Come visit us on a Monday - anytime between 10 AM and 2 PM! ************** You have a very nice library. The employees are very friendly. ********4***** c Good Job! You guys are underrated! Thank you. We pride ourselves in a strong ser­ vice commitment! ************** Please, please, please, we need longer library hours, especially on the weekends! P We need longer hours during last 2 weeks prior to finals especially on Sat and Sunday. Also need evening hours and Sat/Sun hours during break due to midterms and research papers due. We’re open as many hours as possible given our staffing levels. We will be considering redistrib­ uting library hours after comprehensive input from the spring 1997 questionnaire to students. *4*44***4**4*4 c cc c cc Have someone at the desk We staff the information desk with one to two staff and one student assistant every hour the li­ brary is open.

Unfor­ tunately as our student population has grown sig­ nificantly, our library staff has not we received your suggestion. Thanks! Troy is the greatest! Thanks for your comment - we think Troy and all of our student assistants are great! Maybe placing “Please don’t leave TRASH!” signs in the study cubicles will remind people to throw away their stuff. And if not, maybe it will be a re­ minder to them of just how rude they are for leaving it and they will have to have that on their conscience for the day....Hey it’s worth trying! We agree that leaving trash in our nice study carrels is something we want to discourage. We’ll give your idea a try. Thanks! "************** As a student of CSUSM, I have been very pleased w/ the library services. However, perhaps you could switch the PAC island with the 1st island you see as you enter the library (island #4). This way students won’t try to access books on the computer periodical index. Thanks for the input This is a problem we have noticed and during this coming winter break we will in fact be switching the islands so that the PAC island will be closest to the front door. We decided to wait for winter break so as not to con­ fuse students in the middle of the semester. So look for it in spring semester! *********4c**** Please use signs to tell newcomers that there is a library in Craven Hall!! I walked downstairs from the 4th floor and looked for some indication that I was getting close to the library. Why not have a big sign like LIBRARY—> I had to ask somebody walk­ ing by! Signs and arrows help people find places! If you mean from within the “rotunda” area, a sign does need to be posted and we have discussed this with Facility Services. Other than that, [re­ sponse from Facility Services] all the directories in CRA state that the Library is on 3rd....and all the campus directories indicate that it is on CRA 3rd. The access from the center elevators is signed and the elevator directories indicate on 3 (an also where access is not possible.) The Founders’ Plaza has the brass letters in the wall pointing down the courtyard stairs. 4c************* ************** Fix the clock by the copy machines Done. ************** We need more research journals here! Specifi­ cally ones that pertain to psychology and gerontology. We have a large program here that is geared for this and a very small and narrow variety of journals to choose from. To name a few: Psychology & Aging/Canadian Journal on Aging/Journal of Gross-cultural Gerontology/Gerontologist/Joumal of Gerontological Social Work/Gerontology and Geriatrics/Journal of Voca­ tional Behavior/American Psychologist The journal list is reviewed by the Psychology faculty for relevance to the courses they teach. We do have American Psychologist (1984-1992) and subscribe to Gerontologist (1992 on). ************** Put your library phone number on the date slips inside books. This will facilitate phone renewals and will also aide in cases of lost-found books. Also put library phone # on overdue notices. We began doing this with new books as soon as Thank You! On Monday, October 14, Joe Atkinson distributed 3 research guides to our Senior Experience class: 1) Gov Documents Resource Guide, 2) Bus Resource Guide Vol 1 and 3) Business Resource Guide Vol. 2. How I wish I’d had these 2 years ago. They are priceless resources I will keep for the rest of my life! Thanks for the comment! We too think that Joe’s resource guides are great! For your other classes you will note resource guides in a variety o f subject areas compiled by other library faculty! 4c************* 10/16/96 Displays (photocopies) of a naked woman down the wall...I can understand to an extent artistic freedom but come on!

Preview Quartet to play Spanish compositions ^te u tc A a ru C I know most of you who have been reading my column have come to expect very little from me in terms of depth or knowledge. While it’s true I don’t always know what I’m talk­ ing about, I also never try to delude anyone into thinking I do. I classify myself as an observer, not a doctor, or an ex­ pert at anything. Just someone who gets a kick out of putting in my two cents even when it hasn’t been asked for. Having said all that, (and keeping in mind that you get what you pay for) I just can’t seem to shake this feeling that something is rather stinky in Academia. As I said, I’m no ex­ pert, but even I can smell it. I’ve heard rumors that the university’s Literary Society is getting some flak from certain higher-ups (who will remain unidentified) about its publication known as “Guts.” It seems that “someone” is worried that a fictional char­ acter found in a rather informative article concerning the im­ portance of good telephone etiquette, might possibly sue the school. As a result, the publication may be suspended until the society can purchase $1,300 worth of insurance. Of course, it’s not the uncensored content of the publica­ tion that has the Admin..., I mean, “someone”, having hissy fits. It’s simply that the university can ill-afford a lawsuit this early in its existence. Unfortunately, though the fictional char­ acters are, well, fictional, the money “they” want the society to come up with, isn’t. Seems like a rather large sum for a new club, but what do I know aboutJjijaq£es^ Jjkg J said, I’m no expert. Now here’s the part that really has me stumped. The uni­ versity is worried about a fictional, (that means “imaginary”) person suing the school and threatening its closure, but isn’t concerned a bit about holding classes while a fire creeps down the hillside behind the school, feet away from turning every­ body into human marshmallows. Innocent students, blindly trusting those in power to make the right decisions concern­ ing their safety sit helplessly in their classes, leaving their fates to a quick shift in the wind and Mother Nature’s outra­ geous sense of humor. Now, even someone with as little knowledge of the legal system as I have, might think there’s a little, itty-bitty prob­ lem here, and I’m not talking about anything as trivial as makebelieve characters using nasty words. If I were a parent, oh, that’s right, I am, I’d much rather my college-age kids be exposed to a little racy reading than a raging inferno. Call me crazy, but! think they’ve probably heard it all before, anyway. Though I don’t generally agree with this whole sue-happy thing, you can bet I’d be the first in line if my kid’s life was put in danger because someone who was supposed to know better didn’t, and I doubt I’d be alone in feeling this way. Yet, somebody, somewhere thinks this action was less of a risk for a potential lawsuit than a nice little literary maga­ zine that gives students an arena to show their stuff. Now, correct me if I’m wrong but there doesn’t seem to be a bit of logic in any of this, which leads me to another theory, my own opinion, of course. Now, you’re going to have to work with me here, but what if the objection to “Guts” doesn’t really have anything to do with anybody suing anybody ?!? What if “someone” just doesn’t like it? If it truly is the fear of a lawsuit that motivates the deci­ sion concerning “Guts,” then perhaps a request by “some­ one” for a disclaimer at the front of the publication, you know, one of those statements about “any resemblance to anybody living, or dead, or both, is just plain dumb”, might serve to­ ward off the evil legal spirits who threaten the financial secu­ rity of our illustrious institution. But if all this hoopla is really just the bureaucracy’s way of telling us we can’t be trusted to choose our own reading materials, then perhaps they need to look at the choice they made last Tuesday and figure out if they think they can do any better. (Any relationship, incidentally, between “someone,”, “them” or “they” and any university administrator, either liv­ ing or dead, is purely coincidental.)

It is now avail­ able for mass viewing and listening pleasure. General admission tickets on Nov. 3 will be $5, but $3 for alumni, students and seniors. For further information, call ext. 4366. Review Slur 'Pocho' given new meaning By Paul Hilker Pride Staff Writer It used to be that calling a Latino a “pocho” was like calling ^ blackperson an “ofeo,” a derogatory term to refer to someone who had lost his language and cul­ ture. But, thanks to a political cartoonist and a rapper, it is now becoming a popular form of political com­ mentary. On Nov. 7, cartoonist Lalo Lopez and Esteban Zul, lead rapper of the Berkeley rap group, Aztlan Nation, will bring their version of political satire to Cal State San Marcos. The multimedia presentation of San Diego-based POCHO Productions, entitled “National Pochismo Heritage Month,” can be viewed from from 12:30 to 1:30 pm in ACD 102. Using slides and a PA system, Lopez will exhibit works from his cartoon strip, “L. A. Cucaracha,” which is published in L.A. Weekly, SF Weekly, HISPANIC magazine and various other sources. Zul then will in­ troduce POCHO Magazine, which he and Lopez have been publishing since 1990. Then the two will feature two current video projects, “mockumentaries” filmed by POCHO Pro­ ductions: “Hispanics for Wilson in Walk Softly, Pedro” and “Unmasked!: The Pocho Villa Libera­ tion Army.” Actors Del Zamora and Lalo Medina, also part of POCHO Productions star in the films. POCHO Productions have turned the word “pocho” into “a term of empowerment, using it as a rallying cry from which to mount something of a minor revolution,” according to Lopez. He adds, “We’re not drop-dead serious. We may be skilled at making up rhetoric, but we’d like to think that we can entertain and politicize at the same time.” Lopez and Zul created an art exhibit in 1994 called “Chorizo of the Gods” which traveled from San Diego, to Texas and Chicago. Recently, POCHO Productions has taken aim at the art center/college circuit, having played in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, Tijuana, Austin, San Antonio, Arizona, Wis­ consin, Michigan and Chicago’s Mexican Fine Arts Center.

Those who watch them, myself included, ea­ gerly wait for the participants to slip up, to blow it, to lose everything they have spent almost a life­ time working for. The debates are not like taping a half hour comedy show, where a director can yell "cut" and the actors do it again until they get it right Yes, the participants have rehearsed and practiced their lines, but that’s what makes a mistake much worse. The debates, whether you like politics or not, were the best drama on television. They were like a cross between "The Young and the Restless" and a boxing match. Two powerful men battle it out to see who will run the country. The audience gives points for good responses and jabs thrown at the opponent, and deducts points for bad answers. However, hitting below the belt is allowed, even encouraged. I don’t think the debates sway the voters that much. Most people already have their minds made .H P preaching to their own cbnveits, and a few unde­ cided voters. Letters to the editor are welcome.

While Bob Dole came across better than I expected him to, I be­ lieve he is out of touch with the average Ameri­ can. For example, he said “The Democrats want to take over your health care.” What he doesn’t understand is that I don’t have any health care for the Democrats to take o ver. I need some medi­ cal care. If the democrats are at least willing to try to help people get medical care, I’m willing to listen. I don’t believe Dole's economic plan is go­ ing to do anything for me. I make so little that a 15 percent tax cut would buy me a Big-Mac. Big deal. At times during the debate Dole reminded me of the Grinch who stole Christmas. He some­ times came across as mean and spiteful. For him to accuse President Clinton of us­ ing the Middle East peace process as a photo opportunity was shameful. Is the fact that over 70 people were killed in less than a week noth­ ing more than a “photo opportunity” to him? The pollsters say Dole is desperate. They are probably correct. From where I sit, it doesn’t look tJblefhas to resort to referring to the president of the United States as Bozo, it’s probably all over. iin g v ie w s Presidential race: incompetent figureheads or babe-magnet K en V a n H orn I tuned into the presidential debates hoping to see Bob Dole give President Clinton a sound political thrashing. By the end of that first de­ bate, I was convinced that Dole had not let me down. I'm sure I'm not the only one who made a point of watching the debates for the pure entertainment value. Let's be honest. Neither of the candidates are worthy of my vote. Dole comes across as out of touch and his anti-education comments really turn me off. He has tried to interest the American voters with his stories of wartime valor and mor­ als that seemed to loose popularity at about the same time as Ozzie and Harriet. Clinton, on the other hand, is a career politician that has left a trail of corruption and jaded deals from Whitewater to the White House. Dole has been blasted for surfing the issues and riding on public opinion. Is it actually that bad of trait to adjust to popular opinion? I mean, it worked for Clinton in '92. The only difference I see is that Dole may follow through if elected. So his ideals are archaic and he needs some help with what appeals to the '90's voter. What’s so wrong with making a conscious effort to revive some '40’s morals? Clinton weaseled in the debates. He skirted issues and used his art of political rhetoric to lie and out-right avoid questions. I'm not sure where Clinton believes the bulk of the American popu­ lation has been for the past four years but he defi­ nitely doesn't think we've been paying attentio to him. I mean how well can you trust a politi cian who say's the evening before a debate ths he hasn't been following his adversary? His whole denial was some childish way c avoiding pre-debate allegations. I'm really sui prised he didn't plug his ears in the middle of th debates and hum "I can't hear you. I'm not listen ing. Naaa naaa naaa!" Maybe we've put too much faith in thi whole presidential issue. Does the president hav to be such a great figure like those of the past? All we actually need is someone who is half way coherent and can travel well. If he can sigi a couple of documents and do lunch with som< foreign leaders without causing an intemationa incident, I say we're home free. Look at forme president Bush. He barfed on people and stil managed to retain our status as the foremost su perpower. The debates didn't help to clarify who I wil choose for president. Its still a loss no matter who I vote for. mean on one hand I vote for either Clinton o Dole and end up with, at best, an incompeten space filler in the oval office. Or I do what I knov is right and write my name in on the ballot. Sure it's as good as a wasted vote. But at least I wil have voted honestly. The last choice I have is t( write in Gary Hart. He hasn’t had a chance o winning since the early ’90's but any guy in hi: late 40’s who can land a 17 year old babe like h( did must have some kind of great negotiating skills. �The Pmde.

You attempt to label the University as a “liberal” facility used to brain wash people into “Political Correctness.” All you sound like is one of those conservatives preach­ ing the same political B.S., that everything you don’t agree with is “liberal”, for ex­ ample the press, I don’t know if you’ve seen the Union Tribune lately. Why don’t you jump off the conservative band wagon. You conservatives all think your some sort of victim. You want all of us to stop all the progress that we have made through­ out these years fighting racism. I don’t think you remember all the racist crap that’s happened in our nations history, four hun­ dred years of slave ownership, police bru­ tality, race segregation, red scare, homophobia,; and political oppression. You claim your not a racist, yet you know what, not only are you a racist, but your also a bigot. When you claim that “I am angry that there are 250,000 illegal immigrants coming into my country per year...”, but what you really mean is your sick of all those MEXICANS coming into “your” country. If your completely against that political correctness then why did you abide to it in your statement about “illegal immi­ grants”, you bigot. Let me remind you that the land you live on was not yours or your families to claim. This land you now live on was in­ habited real Americans, that is Native Americans and Mexican’s. If anyone is an illegal immigrant its YOU! Remember at one time, you or someone in your family was an immigrant. Yeah, protecting are borders is impor­ tant, but do not, as many conservative’s have, scapegoat You say that you feel “guilty” when you express your point of view, and you detest being called a “rac­ ist” when you do express it. Well, maybe you feel guilty because you are a racist and you really need to reflect why you feel guilty when people call you a racist. You say “The root of the problem is Check out T he P ride s re-designed web page out the following address: http://LULum.csusm.edu/pride that in America today we have so many “rights” that we as a people don’t even know what is right anymore.” This abuse of “rights” you claim is completely false. Do you actually believe that people are not being discriminated against? As long as people are discriminated against we’ll have to create policy to protect them. Look at how gays and lesbians are discriminated against because of their alternative lifestyles. The Constitution claims that “we are all equal”, but the statement alone doesn’t prevent conservatives from creat­ ing policy that denounces and humiliates gays, Don’t ask...Don’t tell, along with our president. Your view on diversity sounds ignorant and apathetic, I don’t know about it and I don’t care. Not only are you ignorant about racial diversity, but also religious diversity. Not everyone believes in “God” and are nation's religion isn’t officially Christianity. All of those examples you used such as: “Con­ gress opens up each session with prayer, the supreme court has the ten command­ ment on its walls...” are examples of the intolerance that you and the conservative nation's leaders uphold. This intolerance not only makes people who believe in other or no religions feel isolated from the coun­ try, a form of religious segregation, and allowing this intolerance in our countries public schools will only promote intoler­ ance of other religions. The crusades are over, so jump off your high horse, we have enough preach­ ers. Raul Ramos Sophmore, History/Political Science Remember animals Dear Editor, In the article “Group alleges deeply embedded racism” of the October 16,1996 issue of The Pride, page editor Ken Van Horn kindly noted that the Black Faculty Organized (BFO) claims that, “Institutional racism contributes to the creation of a hos­ tile working environment in which people of color, women, Jews, gays and lesbians are harassed simply because they are dif­ ferent.” I’d like to tell the BFO to not forget the animals. Animals are different—a dif­ ferent species. Animals are sliced and probed alive in CSUSM’s laboratories. The cut up flesh of murdered animals is sold in CSUSM’s Dome. Does not institutional speciesism contribute to the “creation of a hostile working environment” where ani­ mals are murdered because they are differ­ ent? I say yes!

The same depressive quality that per­ meated their first album, “August and Ev­ erything After,” shows up again on their new release, “Recovering the Satellites.” It’s not that depression is a bad topic to sing about, but it becomes an empty clich, with such manufactured unhappiness. Crows lead singer Adam Duritz moans lines like, “Spend my nights on self-de­ fense/ Cry about my innocence,” with alarming regularity. In song after song, it’s hard to take it very seriously. It seems that Duritz’s only goal is to tell us how abso­ lutely dreadful his life is, whining all the way. But if you ignore the incredibly trite lyrics, it isn’t a terrible album. It’s more of a guilty pleasure than anything else. You listen to it, and you realize itfs lousy, but it’s so lousy you can’t stop listening. You’re ashamed to tell your friends you like it, but you do, and you don’t know why. The Crows employ the same loose acoustic sound as on their first album, with moments of distortion and harder rock. Its inviting, easy-to-listen-to music lends it­ self to songs like the more upbeat “Mr. Jones,” from “August.” There is nothing comparable on “Recovering.” Since their rise to fame began, the band has been accused of being nothing more than rip-off artists by rock critics, who say they borrow from music notables like Van Morrison, Bob Dylan and The Band. But this is unfair and insulting, not to the Crows, who obviously are emulating their music idols, but to the artists they mimic. The Crows put on a pale imitation of them, Morrison especially. It is evident “Recovering” is an attempt to reproduce “Astral Weeks,” which is Morrisoms mas­ terpiece and one of the greatest albums of all time. It comes nowhere close. You can’t fault them for picking qual­ ity influences; they could not have chosen more carefully. But the Crows use their influences too liberally in their music, and have yet to really find a voice of their own. Until this happens, the band, which does have talent, will dwell in the realm of mediocrity and imitation. Duritz possesses an aesthetically pleasing voice, and the guitar work of David Bryson and Dan Vickrey is all that saves much of the al­ bum. The album should do well with the 5 million people who bought the groupis first one; sales are not a worry. The Counting Crows need to use their talents to create rather than imitate. More originality, less pathetic depression. That is the key if they want to have a prolonged serious career. ____________________________________ Cake is a fine slice background, soriietimes more doiriinarit, di Fiore jazzes up the band’s Pride Staff Writer songs.

Ocean Blue is true combination of quality and trash By Gabe Lundeen Pride Staff Writer The music world continues to stagnate with cookiecutter bands intent on getting rich and selling millions of albums, rather than producing quality music. It is enlight­ ening to find a pearl in the sea of stagnance. It’s hard to say whether The Ocean Blue is a pearl or a pestilence. The group’s new album, “See The Ocean Blue,” is a mixture of quality and trash. It has its high­ lights, but is dragged down by some truly terrible songs. The Ocean Blue is an established rock band, with a loyal fan following and three albums under its belt. Its sound utilizes smooth acoustic tabulatures and grinding electric guitars, alternating these almost every other song. That may be its biggest problem. The acoustic and electric sounds change the entire sound of the music, so it’s like listening to two different bands. Lead singer David Schelzel’s voice is schizophrenic, as are those of the rest of the band. The sound varies so much from track to track that no real style is established. Photo by Ray Lego/Mercury Records Pearl or Pestilence? Ocean Blue's third release is up and down. So, in essence, what we have here are two sides of the same coin. The acoustic stuff is not bad; the songs seem more lyrically thought out on these tracks. Schelzel s voice is soothing and dream-like, and the rest of the band is more focused. However, it is on the harder tracks where the band fails. It is simply not adept at producing the louder heavy metal-style music, and which comes off as forced. Like so many groups today; The Ocean Blue seems capable of more, but produces less. Almost half of “See The Ocean Blue” is a flop, and what little is better is not enough to make up for it. �7 The Pmde, Wednesday, Ocrohen. 3 0 , 1 9 9 6 Raise $$$- Help Wanted- The Citibank fundraiser is here to help you!

However, I feel there are some major weakness in the library system. As a working professional obtaining a second degree, I have limited time to spend in the library. To­ night (after work), I have been here for 4 hrs. try­ ing to find materials from research journals for a research paper. Out of the 23 journals listed for use by the professor as good sources for research, only 5 are available at this university and none applied to what I need.

Several of the questions asked concerned the relationship between the university and the city of San Marcos. All candidates said that they felt that the university was very important to all of North County. Candidates stressed the need for a partnership between CSUSM, the city, and local businesses to complete construction of the university and develop programs that allow CSUSM to contribute to the local community. When asked whether or not they supported affirmative action the candidates responses were mixed. Andrade, Lejeune and Thibadeau said that they strongly support affir­ mative action.

Several campuses held teach-ins. San Marcos held a teach-in Oct 25-26. Various speakers discussedfaculty issues and grievances infront of The Dome. (Pride Photo/James Newell) The trustees of California State University San Marcos and Barbara Dovenbarger, con­ troller of the university, are the defendants in two separate dis­ crimination lawsuits involving employees from student finan­ cial services. This month two of CSUSM’s accountants filed lawsuits, alleg­ ing discriminatory practices enforced by Dovenbarger, also the Director of Student Finan­ cial Services, on the basis of gender, race, and pregnancy. Cecilia Boze was employed by the university for nine years and was the acting assistant director of operations in student financial services. Boze stated that she resigned from the posi­ tion because of the stress she suffered due to discriminatory practices, according to the law­ suit she filed at the Vista Supe­ rior Courthouse. In her complaint, Boze also stated that she was passed over for jobs and promotions that she was qualified for, and that the positions were often given to unqualified individuals who were Dovenbarger’s former col­ leagues, some of whom were white males. Another accountant at CSUSM, Kim Gomez, filed suit at Vista Superior Court, ^ A rticle cont. on pg. 8 Grievances Expressed; Acclaimed Speaker Urges Societal and Educational Change By j a m e s N e w e l l Staff Writer At the first statewide CSU teach-in, faculty and various guest speakers joined represen­ tatives of the California Faculty Association (CFA) to present and explain current trends in the CSU system that are leading toward the corporatization of education. Distinguished guest speaker Stanley Aronowitz, an acclaimed author and professor from City University of New York, was the final speaker. He began his address with thoughts concern­ ing his home state of New York in light of the recent tragedies, then quickly moved to the changing priorities in education. Explain­ ing the corporate mentality as a “they take and we pay” cycle. The teach-ins, which were held at all 22 CSU campuses, were initiated due to the continu­ ing disagreement between the CFA union and the CSU admin­ istration. Some of the issues con­ tributing to the impasse include class size, declining tenure fac­ ulty, and stagnant professor sal­ aries. The CSU contends the quality of education students receive is top priority, but the CFA believes . the vital issues “ I f thefaculty are getting a raw d eal and staff are getting an even worse deal, what are the students getting ... ” — Charles Goetzl Stanley Aronowitz spoke at the teach-in. (Pride Photo/JamesNewell) concerning the future of Califor­ nia’s higher education systems are being ignored. The CSU Prior to the system wide teach-in, the CSU released infor­ mation pertaining to the issues under scrutiny. The CSU con­ tends they are already 2.3 per­ cent above budget for this year. The administration says the CSU system is ahead of the national averages for faculty . salary increases and legislation for budget increases is not probable, given the state’s current eco­ nomic situation. The CSU claims that one of the reasons tenure faculty hires are declining is that the arduous task of finding new faculty would draw staff away from time spent with students. 500-1,000 searches per year are conducted for full-time faculty, and the CSU says this has yielded an increase of 221 full-time fac­ ulty members in the past six years. CSU has had a merit pay program since the mid-1990s. The administration said they believe the merit pay program improves the quality of educa­ tion students receive by reward­ ing outstanding achievement by faculty. At the CjSUSM Teach-in The CSUSM teach-in, held outside the Dome, focused on budget numbers’ manipulation, lack of time for student/faculty relationships, the declining qual­ ity of education, and changes in university priorities. Liliana Rossmann, CSUSM professor of communication, hosted the teach-in, and provided Article cont. on pg. 3 Damagefrom the explosion in FCB. (Pride File Photo/Victor Padilla) Students and Faculty Anticipate Repair of Foundation Building By AMY GRANITE Pride Staff Writer Students and professors attending classes in the trailers in the Foundations Classroom Building (FCB) courtyartfeagerly await the reconstruction of the FCB building, which was dam­ aged by a July blast in which a boulder struck the exterior wall, damaging FCB 101, and another boulder came through the door window, striking the opposite wall in FCB 103. The boulders struck the buildings as a result of an explo­ sion by Hanson Aggregates, the company that blasts to clear rock for the university, and to gather rocks for construc­ tion. Temporary trailers in the FCB courtyard are replacing the classrooms until construction is complete. Some students and instruc­ tors said they will be glad to leave behind the uncom­ fortable, temporary classrooms’ small windows and poor ven­ tilation systems. “It* will be nice to have a larger classroom with better ventilation control,” said Maureen DuPont, a math instructor. She teaches a math class that has 50 students in one trailer, and many complain about air conditioning problems. Crowding is also an issue. “I can’t even walk down the aisles of the rows of seats in my classroom,” said DuPont. “I would fall if I did.” Facilities Services said they project the construction will be completed in three weeks. “I hope everything is settled and we can be moved in and back to normal by finals,” said DuPont. �Conservationists Concerned about Environmental Effects o f San Elijo Hills By MARY SUE WEBB Pride Staff Writer ‘ an Elijo Hills is the resi­ S dential development on the west­ ern slope of the ridges above CSUSM. Residents also iden­ tify the development with San Elijo Canyon, the creek that cas­ cades through the canyon, and the creek’s destination, San Elijo Lagoon in Cardiff. But the president of a local conservancy group said that the San Elijo Hills development is a threat to those areas. Leonard Wittwer, a molecu­ lar biologist who is president of the Escondido Creek Conservancy and chairman of its Land Use Committee, said he is concerned that water con­ taining herbicides and pesticides from the proposed San Elijo Hills’ golf course could hurt both the creek and the lagoon. “Herbicides and insecticides that they spray on plants, and fertil­ izers they use, would go into the runoff,” said Wittwer. “Nitrogen and some phosphorous will lead to algae blooms in Escondido Creek, and that water flows into San Elijo Lagoon, which already has been impacted by urban runoff” Water from urban areas runs into the creek and gives it year-round water flow. Seasonal .streams run down the Double Peak, the tallest ridge west of CSUSM, and flow into the coast­ al lagoons. The developers are seeking the approval of the city of San Marcos to construct a golf course on top of Double Peak. “If they build the golf course on the ridge, everything that flows down the north side would go into San Marcos Creek (and into Batiquitos Lagoon)” said Larry Osen, a geography teacher at San Marcos High School, stands at the top of Double Peak; San Elijo developers propose to build a golf course below the peak. (Courtesy Photo/Larry Osen) Conflicting Interests over Use of Cerro de Las Posas Ridgeline By KEVIN HAWK Pride Staff Writer San Elijo developers applied for a conditional-use permit that would aliow them to build a 160-acre, 18-hole golf course, clubhouse, and related facilities if San Marcos approved the golf course in 2002, on top of the Cerro de Las Posas ridgeline, in addition to the 3,398 homes presently being built in south­ western San Marcos. The 6,800-yard course would begin at Double Peak and extend south­ west to the communication tow­ ers. Developers applied for the permit in November of 2000. This proposal has many San Marcos, Lake San Marcos, and Elfin Forest residents concerned about environmental impacts on wildlife, the destruction of natu­ ral vegetation and popular trails, and pollution from the water runoff that would be used for the upkeep of the fairways and greens. “The trail system is a greater amenity than a golf course could ever be,’r said Larry Osen, of the city trails advisory committee. Since San Elijo Hills devel­ opers submitted an application for the golf course last October, the city has been studying how the golf course would effect wildlife and plants on the ridge­ line, said Curtis Noland, gen­ eral manager of San Elijo Hills developers, as published in the North County Times. City planners originally planned for Double Peak Regional Park to occupy the entire 200 acres, of natural, open space on top of the ridge­ line, but with the proposed golf course, the acreage allowed for the regional park may be reduced to 40 acres. Jerry Backoff, Chief City Planner for San Marcos, could not be reached in time for comment. Osen, who assembled Friends of Cerro de Las Posas, says the group is taking an active approach to prevent the golf course from being built on t6p of the ridgeline. “The Friends of Cerro de Las Posas has engaged in a campaign of awareness, informing San Marcos res­ idents of a San Elijo Hills’ plan to sculpt the ridgeline with a 160-acre professional golf course,” said Osen. ' The Friends attended city council workshops to voice their concerns and ask questions, wrote letters to the editors of local newspapers, distributed fly­ ers, and collected signatures for their petitions. Earlier this year, at the Grand Avenue Summer Festival at GSUSM, the Sierra Club spon­ sored a booth where Osen and three other volunteers promoted awareness of the environmental effects a golf course would cause. “We’re not opposed to a golf course, but we are opposed to the course being built on top of the ridgeline,” said Osen. The Friends collected 250 signatures for their petition, which will be presented to the city council. Wittwer. “Everything else would go into Copper Creek and will end up in Escondido Creek and San Elijo Lagoon.” The developers have said that golf course runoff could be contained in traps. Wittwer said that the nitro­ gen a nd phosphorous wouldn’t evaporate from water held in traps. Besides the water issues, he said there is also an issue of the loss of habitat for animals if a golf course is built. “You also would no longer see the sunset behind the ridge­ line if buildings were there,” said Wittwer. In February, the Escondido Creek Conservancy acquired 76 acres to protect the scenic creek, which flows from Lake Wohlford on the east side 6f Escondido near Valley Center, and through the rural Harmony Grove/Elfin Forest area, into Olivenhein. Escondido Creek then flows under a bridge at the eastern terminus of Encinitas Boulevard and into San Elijo Lagoon. The conservancy hasn’t taken a position for or against the proposed golf course at this time. About 10 years ago, early in the development’s planning stage, however,-the organization opposed the development plans. Those who would like more information on the conservancy are asked to visit their web site at www.escondidocreek.org. A citizen water quality mon­ itoring organization, San Diego Stream Team, separate from the conservancy, also tests and mon­ itors the water quality of local streams. Those who would like information about the team are asked to contact the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board at (858) 467-4387. 2 MILLION INVESTORS. 80 YEARS’ EXPERIENCE. 1 WEIRD NAME.

Jih, who has a closely shaved head, and was dressed in a tra­ ditional brown robe, joked with the students* saying that she was surprised that her look was not fashionable with students at Cal State San Marcos. “I don’t have to spend my time on hairstyles and fashion,” Jih said to the students. “My mind is free and joyful, and I give others happi­ ness.” Jih became a Buddhist nun in 1980, only a few years before most of the GEH students were bom. She was not bom into a Buddhist family; she recalled that her family went to a Taoist temple when she was young. While she attended a university in Taiwan, she became inter­ ested in Buddhism and joined the Buddhist Society. She soon became inspired by Buddhism, and went to the temple and retreats with the society. While Jih was still at the university, Venerable Master Hsing Yun, the founder of the Fo Guang Shan International Venerable Master Yi Jih, a Buddhist nunfrom the San Diego Buddhist Temple, spoke to the students of Dr. Susie CasseVs general education humanities class. (Pride Photo/Stephanie Baird) Buddhist Order, headquartered in Taiwan, lectured at her school. Jih was eager to ask him two questions: When, or at what age, should she join the order? And how could she help her parents accept her decision to become a Buddhist nun? Her parents ended up speak­ ing with Yun, and as she neared her graduation from the univer­ sity, Jih went to a summer retreat where she shaved her head and joined the order. “At first my family felt like they had lost a daughter,” said Jih. But after two years of study­ ing for a degree in Taipei and the five years as the head of a temple, her family followed her into the Buddhist religion. Although she is monastic, she still sees her family members and is not secluded to the temple. They have celebrations at the monastery, and every two years her family is invited to come to her monastery, where they share their stories and participate in activities. Jih said, “The families feel honored [to be a part of the experience}” The’ humanities students asked Jih the responsibilities of Buddhist nuns. Jih explained that they have the opportunity to preach at weddings and funer­ als. It is at the funerals where one realizes that “life is really impermanent,” said Jih. “Once we realize this, we realize how precious it is.” The nuns also have study groups and meditation groups, which she said everyone is wel­ come to attend. Jih, who has been in San Diego since 1993, also translates Chinese into English for Venerable Master Hsing Yun. The temple has programs that it conducts for the community, including an education program, a cultural program, that uses newspapers, magazines and CDs to inform people about Buddhism, a charity program to benefit society, and programs that help orphanages and homes for seniors. A student also asked Jih whether or not she thought the Sept. 11 attacks were the result of bad karma. “Death is not the end of life. We move on to another house. They were innocent. It was not Karma,” said Jih, “It is not just an individual issue, not just ill America or New York. The whole world is concerned and it is a tragedy for all human­ kind.” Jih also commented oft the terrorists: “It was behavior of hate, they didn’t consider the value of life. The best thing we can dp is to try to eliminate hate in others.” San Marcos Faculty Express Grievances at Teach-In » A rtic le cont. fr om pg. 1 background for each speaker. Rossmann explained the intent of the teach-in was to educate and shed light on the complex issues concerning the university, and that it was up to each person to make up their own mind. Before turning the microphone over to the other speakers, Rossman interjected that the univer­ sity community needs to “all work together to ensure quality education.” “The notion that the CSU is being run like a business, like any business that’s in business, is absurd,” said George Diehr, CSUSM professor in the college of business and CFA chapter pres­ ident. Invited to provide logisti­ cal facts behind the bargaining process between faculty and administration, Diehr introduced himself as the “numbers guy.” He distributed a pamphlet of charts to help listeners better uftderstand the complex uni­ versity data, including studentfaculty ratios, faculty salaries, and tenure-track faculty. Diehr warned listeners to beware of politically manipulated statistics. “They (the CSU) said we hired 2,300 tenure line faculty over this period... they didn’t tell you that 2,700 people had left ... people had retired and resigned,” said Diehr. “If the faculty are getting a raw deal and staff are getting an even worse deal, what are the students getting, because you are at the bottom of that order as far as the administration is con­ cerned,” said Charles Goetzl, a representative of the APC (Aca­ demic Professionals of Califor­ nia). Goetzl spoke about how current system trends could affect students in the future. He explained increasing workloads reduce campus morale and are detrimental to the personal rela­ tionships between faculty, staff and students. “I remember the professor sitting down at the coffee shop ... after class ... that is where I learned a lot more than in the classroom,” said Goetzl. “Don’t let people fool you, students come first,” said Tim Jenkins, speaking on behalf of the California Teachers Association (CTA) and the National Educa­ tion Association (NEA). Jenkins said that “CSU staff deserve a raise” and that slashing quality education because of budget issues is “hogwash.” He men­ tioned that the CSU community is forming from a worldwide pool 6f faculty, staff and students and should focus on setting an exam­ ple for higher education. “Be aware of you work envi­ ronment ... be aware of what your rights are and exercise your rights,” said Deborah Corey, a representative from the CSUSM College of Business Adminis­ tration. Corey spoke to address misperceptions of the modernday union. She explained that the educational unions represented at the teach-in are made up of “hard working, caring people” and they are “people who want to serve you, but the resources aren’t there.” Stanley Aronowitz “The problems (of CSU) are also the problems of the City Uni­ versity system of New York, the State University system of New York, and many other public uni­ versities abound the country, but we should not go away from this teach-in believing that the prob­ lem is confined to education ... we have a problem in America in terms of what we think our pri­ orities are,” said Aronowitz. Aronowitz said that as the needs of society change, the uni­ versities need to support the changes and that “today a highschool education is just a begin­ ning.” With the current trends in budget cuts and administration decisions, public universities are increasingly pressured to look to the private sector for funding, explained Aronowitz. This under­ mines the freedom of public uni­ versities in what Aronowitz calls “the corporatization of higher education,” which adds to the ability of corporations to manipu­ late the priorities behind research and curriculum funded by the universities. “The private sector does not give money entirely out of the purity of their heart. They want our education to be geared to their job needs. They want our research to be geared to their product development,” said Aronowitz. He concluded by emphasiz­ ing that the system will only work in unity and that the students and faculty need to focus on “under­ standing each other better.” Classifieds W ant to reach all CSUSM stu d en ts?

There is a problem in our society, and there is a cause for alarm, and the lyricists that make up The Cross Movement have an answer for the problem. “The Light o f Christ is a blazin' one There's a fight to live right, and it's major Son B ut the grace has come so we praise the Son A nd celebrate Him ‘ cause we know what He saved us from'' Those words describe what I’m all about to a “t”. The album is definitely on point and bangin’. The Cross Movement has, once again, put out another hiphop masterpiece. The album, just as the two before it, is filled to the brim with intense, thoughtful lyrics, bold passion, and righteous fury as the entire crew Cross Movement’ new album, ‘Human Emergency, ”shows s hooks up for the sole purpose of spittin’ the uiicensored, another side of hip hop. (Courtesy Photo/crossmovement.com) unadulterated word of God. The Cross Movement, which includes MCs Tonic, that scream “single ” and demand a spot on the radio Earthquake, The Ambassador, Enoch, and The Phanatik, airwaves. Tracks, like the southern influenced “Know Me”, unite on this third album to deliver refined skills, eloquent flows, and a shamelessly holy message that talk a lot about what the secular rappers (who yap out the side of their necks about how much they love God, will shake up even the most devout non-believer. The styles on this album range from the Spanish when in reality their lifestyles speak otherwise) don’t. sounds of “Live Agua”, to the floor thumpin’ east coast The Cross Movement is different. “You got more dough than a pizza shop, showing all project anthem “Who wants battle”. “The Light (The them gold teeth ya got, you keep a glock in the front seat Blazin’ One)” starts things off with The Ambassador and Truth taking turns spitting aggressive verses over of the jeep ya got, and you keep it locked, ... you won’t a bouncy drum track, laced with string stabs and riffs go to church till ya Easter shop, new suit and shoes and the Easter top, people stop to say “yo he’s she shot!” But God says no he’s not! ...” There are a number of reasons why this gospel hip-hop album by The Cross Movement is so much more important and impressively different than any of that other crap we are forced to listen to on the radio or on MTV. 1. This album features many different MCs, not just one. Diversity on the album makes for a beautiful sound. I can’t lie though; the Ambassador is still the tightest MC on there. 2. The production, compared to the top-selling secular acts, is top-notch. This album is way ahead of the competition in any genre of hip-hop and rap, as far as I’m concerned. 3. The message on this no-nonsense type of album is heard loud and clear, no tongue in cheek, no apology, no compromise, no sell-out. 4. The styles of music vary on this album. While this can often take away from an album, this one works. 5. The message on this album is like no other in hiphop. There is absolutely no talk of the very things that unfortunately dominate the airwaves of today, which are drugs, women, money, and cars. Instead of talking about all the problems in the world and glamorizing them like many other MCs do, The Cross Movement offers an answer and solution. Now that’s something our youth needs to hear. “Human Emergency,” by The Cross Movement, is out in stores; and you may also purchase it online at www.crossmovement.com excluding textbooks, computer hardware, Microsoft rentals, gift certificates and special orders, j —^ —- I I , 01 i a a a i i ! U N IVER SITY STORE �The Pride Opinion ' ~~TF Letter to the Editor: Student Poetry Battle of the Sexes By Ali Ahmed Khan for The Pride Dear Editors: My disgust with the section of The Pride called “The Battle of the Sexes” has driven me to write to you in hopes that change will occur. The Pride is not the largest of student newspapers, obvious­ ly, but usually it does offer some good insight as to what is going on on campus. I can appreciate its lack of length, because after all, at the moment the campus is a “postage stamp” campus. What I cannot appreciate is the section called “The Battle of the Sexes” or what I like to call the “The Garbage” section. Here at CSUSM we pride ourselves in being at the fore­ front of thought and technology. Our campus is but 10 years old, but we put pride on the fact that we are a liberal campus. It has been my experience that we are very open to ideas from all different disciplines, including feminism. I believe that this is in hopes to show students that all disciplines have value in our world. It seems that CSUSM is try­ ing to make a difference in the thoughts and attitudes of its stu­ dents by offering opportunities to study within different disci­ plines. For this reason, a section like this can only be welcomed with an emotion such as dis­ gust. There is an obvious need for change in attitude toward the social structure that is in place right now, and this is the genera­ tion that will be able to break down the walls. That being said* I cannot believe that a section that is as silly as “The Battle of the Sexes” can even be printed. Not only does it seem like a section that screams, “Hooray! We are out of high school now we can talk about sex, so let’s do it in the school newspaper” but it seems to offend all those (that I have spoken to anyway) that read it. The section perpetuates every social stigma that we, as a campus, are trying to change. It begs to keep women and men in their respective places. To make a section in which two people are “arguing” about something having to do with relationships, but taking very sexist stances, on both parts, accomplishes nothing except for Student Poll Would you ever plagarize? maybe a few chuckles (not for being funny or true, rather for being absurd) from those that read it. If that is the intention of this section theh WELL DONE ! This section has managed to represent the male as a chauvin­ istic pig, and the female as a loud mouth ... two stereotypical descriptions of male and female roles that have been intact since the days of I Love Lucy. I feel that I, as a member of the aca­ demic community, deserve bet­ ter. The attitudes that are expressed by these “sex battlers” are neither held nor agreed with by those with whom I have dis­ cussed this section. This kind of stereotypical garbage keeps resistance for change strong. It is keeping Pre World War I ideals intact when we are on the verge of World War III. This space of the newspaper would be better used for kin­ dling to start a fire than to read; the only problem with that idea is that then we would be burning another, more valuable, part of our already tiny newspaper.

We know that it is wrong to keep populations of animals arti­ ficially above the ability for their habitat to support them, because it makes them permanently depen­ dant on handouts from people, and any reduction in the handouts will kill some of them. For exam­ ple, if tourists feed squirrels in a park, the squirrels will eat the food available in the park as well as. the handouts. This increase in food supply will allow the squirrel population to increase beyond the carrying capacity of the park. As a result, any reduction in food from the natural supply, or the handouts from people, will result in the starvation of squirrels. The net result is that the feeding of squirrels has the potential to starve far more than would otherwise, given the inevitable fluctuations in natural food supply. The realities are exactly the same when it comes to humans. For as much as we like to think that we are different than squir­ rels or any other animals, we are not. We eat, and if we do not, we will starve. We reproduce, and increase our numbers as we have throughout history, and there is no reason to believe we will magical­ ly archive global zero-population growth without being constrained by food supply. For as tragic as it for there to be starving people, it only makes the problem worse to send food aid to foreign countries. The “humani­ tarian” aid is decidedly un-humanitarian, for it allows populations to not only continue to exceed their natural limits, but also continue to grow. This continued growth only multiplies the damage that will be done by the next drought, or the termination of “humanitarian” aid. It simply is not realistic to believe that the countries sending aid can forever send increasing amounts of food to support grow­ ing populations. The “humanitar­ ian” aid will end at some point. The policies or economics, or even the food supply of the countries sending the aid will change, as things always change, and that change will someday be a reduc­ tion in “humanitarian” aid for a population that has become depen? dent on it. People will die and starve in greater numbers than would have been possible without the “humanitarian” aid. Considering that populations always increase to match the food supply, the only way to justify long-term “humanitarian” aid is to believe that the eventual starvation of people is good, and enabling it is moral. It would be nice to end world hunger; however, it simply is not possible, at least in the long term, and it is not right to save one life today at the cost of several in the future. Long term “humanitarian” aid is wrong and will kill people. �T he Pride Food Terrace Buffet Style Is a Knock Out By KEVIN HAWK Pride Staff Writer Indian gaming casinos have spread faster than wildfire across San Diego County/ Several of the casinos market their “buffet” as the best in the county in hopes of drawing crowds. I decided to take the Terrace Buffet, inside Pala Casino, up on its offer. The fact that there wasn’t a line for the buffet on a Saturday afternoon was surprising. The buffet resembled an upside down “U”. Chinese selections loomed bn the left side; traditional Amer­ ican and colorful Italian food caught my eye on the right, and seafood, salad, and soup flowed from the middle. When I eat at a buffet, I always begin “Round 1” with the salad bar. I filled my plate with cabbage and iceberg lettuce. Clumsily; I knocked the lettuceloaded tongs on the side of my plate, causing leaves of lettuce to fall between the selections of food on the buffet table. Immediately, an employee, armed with a towel, appeared from behind the counter and swept up the tainted lettuce. I topped my salad with sliced red onions, severed cucumbers, and quarter-sized croutons. “Round 2” consisted of Chinese and seafood. I chose two seafood selec­ tions^ shrimp scampi and crab salad. I also included three Chinese choices: orange chicken, beef and broccoli, and fried rice. The shrimp required messy peeling, which meant I had to get my fingers dirty. I didn’t mind working for my food. The shrimp tasted soft, as it should. After my first bite of crab salad, the rest crawled uncontrollably into my mouth until it disappeared. The beef and broccoli resembled play food, shiny and plastic coated. But the entree tasted better than it looked. Each bite released a stream of warm flavor that trickled down my throat. I mixed the orange chicken with the fried rice; the combi­ nation formed an inviting orange glow. Time for “Round 3.” I loaded my plate with American and Italian food and filled my soup dish to the brim with turkey soup. Placed in front of me, my combination plate looked more like a col­ lage than edible food. The tender rotisserie chicken fell off the breastbone and tasted soft, but disappointingly bland. The turkey tasted moist and smoked-flavored. The veal didn’t disappoint, and the mashed potatoes stood alone without the assistance of gravy. The judges’ score­ cards had “Round 3” going to the Terrace Buffet, until the turkey soup buckled at the knees. If I had taken a bite of card­ board floating in warm water, I couldn’t have told the two apart. I ran to the des­ sert bar to extinguish the foul taste in my . mouth. I grabbed the first plate within arm’s length. I discovered delightful, colorful, sweet green apple slices cov­ ered in cinnamon. This dish relieved the aftertaste of cardboard from my mouth. The Terrace Buffet is located at the Pala Casino, located on 11154 High­ way SR 76 in Pala, CA. New Store Opening in San Marcos!

A busy schedule forces most students to.eat at fast food restau­ rants or nuke noodles in the microwave. Stop. You can prepare a hearty meal in 20 minutes with the following recipe. You will need the following: A large pot o f boiling water One pound o f linguini either dry or fresh 6 tablespoons o f olive oil 3 cloves o f garlic 2 tablespoons o f flour 1 cup o f whole baby clams — use canned clams and reserve liquid I f An 8-ounce bottle o f clam m juice 8 ounces o f sliced mushrooms—optional 1 teaspoon o f diced pimento—optional 2-3 tablespoons o f fresh minced parsley A pinch o f oregano—optional Salt to taste One loaf o f French bread Parmesan cheese Directions for preparing the sauce: Put enough water in a large pot to boil one pound of linguini and set it to boil. Prepare the clam sauce while the water heats to a boil. Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan, and add minced or pressed garlic cloves to the oil. Gently fry the garlic in the oil until it becomes slightly browned. The garlic will become sticky so keep stirring. Remove the oil and garlic from the heat and sprinkle this mixture with flour, stirring it constantly until the oil makes a paste without lumps. Only use enough flour to make a thick paste, and add it slowly, not all at once. * Return the paste to the saucepan, and continue heating the paste. Whip and stir constantly, and add all the clam juices, the 8-ounce bottle and the reserve liquid. Heat the pdn until the sauce boils. At this point the sauce will begin thicken­ ing. When the sauce thickens, reduce the heat and add mushrooms, pimento, and oregano. Let the pan simmer, and keep it covered until the mushrooms are cooked about five minutes, and stir occa­ sionally. Directions for pre­ paring the pasta: By now, the water for the pasta should be boiling, so start cooking the pasta. Follow the directions on the package to cook the pasta. Now add clams and simmer for about two minutes. The clams will become tough if they are overcooked. Add pars­ ley, Stir in the parsley and remove the saucepan from the heat and cover the pan. When the pasta is cooked to the “al dente” stage, drain the pasta and sprin­ kle it with a little olive oil. Serve the clam sauce over the pasta, salt to taste, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Use plenty of French bread to sop up the sauce. m & n q a V ju u f S to n e a Saturday, November 3 ,9am. to 3pm 320 South Twin Oaks Valley Road in San Marcos Great Student Airfares available with your ISfC or IYTC Amsterdam Brussels London Paris Milan Frankfurt 424 382 312 335 376 418 Thursday, November 1,2001 4:00 - 7:00 pm California Center for the Arts, Escondido Meet with over 90 employers with part time and full time job opportunities!

While the vetoing of AB 1413 earlier this month may have discouraged students and campus faculty members, California assemblymen are still pushing for legislation that addresses the needs of students in the postsecondary public school system and are starting to receive some success in return. Governor Schwarzenegger recently signed AB 262 and AB 1548 into law. Both legislations help alleviate the financial burdens of college for students across the state. AB 262, commissioned by Democratic Assemblyman, Joe Coto, looks to dispel credit card companies from targeting college students on campus with gifts and other luring tactics. Also called The College Student Credit Protection Act, AB 262 advises university executives to revise regulations on credit companies on campus. Student debt is quickly becoming an epidemic throughout college campuses across the country. While student loans also add to the problem, credit card debt utors and faculty members. The is the most troublesome problem governor went on in his veto mesfor students to control.

"As the former student body AB 1548 calls for improve- president of UC Irvine, I know ments among publishers, distrib- firsthand that high textbook prices are a huge issue for college students." Assemblyman Solorio said in an Oct. 13 press release. According to the General Accounting Office 2005 report, textbook prices increased 186 percent between the years 1986 and 2004; nearly triple the rate of inflation during that same time period. AB 1548 does not decrease textbook prices but it does offer students more opportunity to make better textbook purchasing decisions. The bill also holds those who select textbooks accountable for taking students best interests into consideration during the process. "AB 1548 provides a comprehensive approach to controlling college textbook prices by placing additional disclosure requirements on all parties involved in creating the high prices. That's why the bill was supported by the California State Student Association, the California Teacher's Association, the Association of American Publishers and the California Postsecondary Education Commission," said Assemblyman Solorio. Students will soon be able to see how these bills affect life on campus and if they set a precedent to pass similar bills in the future.

Additionally, no respect holds greater significance than the appreciation of a student to their teacher. British author Gladys Bronwyn Stern once said, "Silent gratitude isn't much use to anyone." The President's Awards are the best opportunity students have each year to honor faculty members in a big way. In lieu of the upcoming Thanksgiving season, it is important to not only be thankful for faculty members that enable student success but also to make that gratitude a public affair. To vote for The President's Award for Innovation in Teaching, e-mail the Office of President Karen Haynes via Carol Bonomo at cbonomo@csusm. edu. The deadline for the Innovation in Teaching Award is Friday, Nov. 9. Nominations should include how the proposed faculty member displays innovative ways of teaching and how these ways help the student retain knowledge. For complete criteria of both awards and information on the nomination process, visit President Haynes' website at www. csusm.edu/president. Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week was held Oct. 22 to 26. The David Horowitz Freedom Center organized and promoted the event in conjunction with conservative student organizations across the United States. The intent of Islamo-Fascism Awareness week was for conservative groups to inform the American student population of what the David Horowitz Freedom Center calls the "two Big Lies." These lies, according to The Terrorism Awareness Project website (http://www.terrorismawareness.org), are, "George Bush created the war on terror and that Global Warming is a greater danger to Americans than the terrorist threat." The Terrorism Awareness Project also stated the purpose of the protest is to "rally American students to defend their country." 200 universities and colleges across the United States participated in the event, including Palomar College. CSUSM initially appeared on the list of participating campuses but was later removed. When asked why the Terrorism Awareness Project removed Cal State San Marcos, among other schools, from the list, a representative from the group declined to comment on the matter. The events included keynote speakers, panels on oppression of women, showings of Suicide Killers, Obsession, or Islam: What the West Needs to Know and the ABC mini-series The Path to 9/11, a petition encouraging students to claim their allegiance, and a memorial service for the victims of terrorist attacks. There will also be a petition "denouncing Islamo-Fascist violence against women, gays, Christians, Jews and non-religious people." In response to the event the Muslim Public Affairs Council instructs Muslim students to do the following: "demonstrate Islamic ethics and restraint, support free speech, not respond, contact campus administration, talk to other student groups, report hate crimes and incidents." They also provided workshops for students under the banner, "Truth Over Fear: Countering Islamophobia." The MPAC pamphlet provided to help Islamic students navigate through the demonstrations states, "programs such as Islamo-Facism Awareness Week (IFAW) seek to isolate and divide communities, thereby dislodging their place as contributing members of society."

(6) 7057 70 5- 6 4 �Chargers please San Diego in emotional 35-10 victory CSUSM women's soccer headed to playoffs BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer In a game that was almost not played in San Diego, the Chargers took over Qualcomm and boosted the morale of 60,439 fans; even if it was for only four hours. As San Diego County was being ravaged by the w ildfires, Qualcomm Stadium was being used to facilitate over 10,000 evacuees. A fter some 45 Chargers employees, including around 24 players were displaced f rom their homes Monday, the Chargers were forced to board a plane to Arizona to cary on with the week's practice schedule. When the Los Angeles L akers a nnounced the cancellation on Tuesday of t heir a nnual p reseason game in San Diego t hat was scheduled f or Thursday, the idea of the C hargers r eturning home seemed d oubtful. The Chargers faced similar circumstances in 2003, when their Monday night game against the Dolphins was moved to Sun Devil Stadium in Arizona due, ironically enough, to Qualcomm being used as an evacuation center for the Cedar Fire. Arizona and Los Angeles were speculated for the relocation of the The #6 ranked CSUSM women's soccer team is headed to its first ever playoff appearance Wednesday, as the Cougars face off against the #3 ranked Concordia Eagles in the first round of the NAIA Region II playoffs on Wednesday. The game is at Concordia at 1:00pm. This is only the second season of women's soccer at CSUSM, and with only four seniors, the playoff berth shows plenty of potential. In a press release from the university, coach Ron Pulvers said, "For our young team, this is going to be a great opportunity to get experience in a playoff setting." The Cougars will look to capitalize on the skills of senior defender, Annica Perez who was the October 2007 women's soccer athlete of the month. This match-up may look familiar to the Cougars, who faced Concordia on September 8th, in a fatigued game that ended up being the worst CSUSM loss of the season. One day earlier the Cougars played #1 ranked Azusa Pacific, losing by a score of 0-1. This time the Cougars will be well rested due to the cancelation of their final regular season game, against La Sierra University on Sunday. The Cougars finished the season with a 6 -6-4 record, coming down the stretch with two tough ties at Cal State San Bernardino and Cal Poly Pomona. game, as well as Oakland, Seattle, and Fresno. With the n umbers of e vacuees s teadily d ropping as the week p rogressed, the f ocus soon s hifted on d istinct p ossibility of the game a ctually b eing played at Q ualcomm. San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders announced late Thursday that the stadium would be ready and capable to host the game, stating "The City will be able to provide s ufficient public safety personnel to manage a professional football game without impeding ongoing w ildfire recovery e fforts." The team returned to San Diego Friday morning allowing time for players and staff to return to their homes-all of which still standing. Throughout the week's tribulations, the Chargers managed to stay focussed for their match-up with the Houston Texans en route to their third consecutive victory; 35-10. The Chargers got the p arty started with 5:49 l eft in the f irst quarter with a Philip Rivers to Antonio Gates 49 yard crowd-pleasing touchdown reception. Later in the f irst, Chargers cornerback, Antonio Cromartie recovered a Bryan Pittman fumble and took it to the house, pushing the Chargers lead to 14-0. Houston got on the board early in the second quarter with a Kris Brown 40-yard field goal. Antonio Gates made the highlights again with a 31 yard touchdown reception to the l eft. Antonio Cromartie followed soon a fter with an interception f rom Houston quarterback, Matt Schaub that was returned for a 70 yard touchdown. Philip Rivers got the newly acquired wide receiver, Chris Chambers involved with a 14 yard touchdown pass near the two minute mark in the second quarter. The Chargers took a 35-3 lead into h alftime, and needed nothing more f rom the o ffense to secure the victory. The Chargers won by a score of 35-10, in a game that brought out the best of the Chargers in the midst of a crisis throughout the county. "It was kind of like a win for the San Diego Chargers, but at the same time it was a win for San Diego itself," said Gates a fter the game. The victory improved the Chargers record to 4-3, putting the in a tie for f irst place in the AFC West with the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chargers travel to Minnesota next Sunday to face the Vikings at 10:00 a.m. on CBS.

Last week was no different as Sudanese native Benjamin Ajak visited CSUSM on Oct. 16 and 17, bringing with him an unrivaled story of survival and triumph of the human will. From a village of mud brick to a sprawling city of steel and concrete, Benjamin Ajak traveled tens of thousands of miles in his 14-year exodus from his war torn home of Sudan. Benjamin is most famous for "They Poured Fire on us From the Sky", a book he co-authored with cousins Benson and Alephonsion Deng and mentor Judy A. Bernstein. The book documented their accounts as part of nearly 20,000 displaced and orphaned Sudanese refugees popularly referred to as "The Lost Boys of Sudan." With the help of the International Rescue Committee, Benjamin Ajak and thousands of other "Lost Boys" resettled across the United States. En route to San Diego, Benjamin's flight was diverted to Canada due to the attacks of September 11, 2001. He finally arrived in San Diego two weeks later. Of the few things Benjamin brought with him from Africa, his unquestionable passion for learning and education accompanied him throughout his various travels. Sharing his experiences, Benjamin spent two days on campus, kept busy by a dense itinerary involving class visits, book signings, and an address before an audience of students, faculty, staff, and community members. In one such engagement, Benjamin took the time to respond to questions from students with topics ranging from the Sudan People's Liberation Army to favorite educational experiences in the United States. One student asked Benjamin how he felt in his first encounter with a lion, to which Benjamin responded, "Living with the lion is not scary for us...because we live in the jungle." Another student asked Benjamin if he misses anything from his life in Africa. "Yes, I miss a whole bunch," replied Benjamin. "I miss a whole lot of friends." Despite the seriousness ofhis story, Benjamin's lighthearted demeanor throughout the discussion carried over to the audience, who laughed along with his stories. In keeping with the tone of the discussion, one student jokingly asked, "some men in the village had many wives, are you bummed out that in America you can only have one?" Of his father's eight wives, Benjamin's mother had 13 children of which only himself and his brother survived the civil war in Sudan. Prior to becoming a full time speaker, Benjamin worked as a truck driver and has been to all of the lower 48 states. Benjamin plans to continue to visit schools and other organizations to share his story and insight with others. V J — T u e s d a y , October 30, 2007 In today's technology The iPod Touch BY ELBERT ESGUERRA Pride Staff Writer If you thought Apple had finally hit the ceiling when it comes to must-have gadgets this year, think again. The iPod Touch has just been released on the market and is being hailed as iPhone's hip, retro baby brother. Here are the basics - there are two models available— an 8GB and a 16GB respectively starting at $299. So then the question people should ask themselves is "why should I get my hands on this neat little device?" It's justifying to know Apple is getting all the praise it deserves, especially for all the Apple owners. On that same token, is there anyone that can stop them at this point? The lingering m m m m m mm m mmmmmamm question remains whether this sleek, little MP3 player is a must have. How does it compare to the iPhone that is already been on the market for 4 months? The answer is simple having the iPod Touch is like owning a Cadillac when you're actually driving a Buick. Had the iPod Touch been released before the iPhone, it would have been the device that launches Apple into the upper stratosphere of technical mastery. Witbfthat said, here are 5 tips about the iPod touch: Get your web applications. From checking Facebook to creating personal calendars to checking personal email, Apple has created a link enabling users to download vital web applications. It is a good idea since it integrates well with the already user-friendly touch screen browser. And speaking of web browsers... Try to figure out Safari. Sure the melius on the device move fiuidly, but that doesn't mean people will figure out the web browser in a day. Safari is touted by Apple as a great tool to use to check out the web, but it is unable to support Flash or Java. Still, it is awesome to check out clips off of YouTube wherever you go. Buy a gel skin. The gadget can be probable to survive a hurricane but that doesn't mean it still shouldn't have some snazzy protection to prevent those inevitable h h h b b i h m b b drops. Check out gelaskins.com for some stylish skins that are both artsy and fun. Skins are available for older models too. Pause a song or adjust the volume while locked. This m m m^ m m m m iS probably going m m am m m m to be looked at as a drawback to the more traditional iPod owners who are accustomed to a click wheel for volume control. Simply double-tap the home button and the volume control, back, next, and pause/play controls will come to your screen. Don't like the icons? Well change them. It's hard tofixwhat already seems to look so good. The Playlists, Artists, Songs, Albums and More buttons can be customized to look anyway you like. Just what Grandpa wanted. The design means more to younger folks than to the tech-impaired. With intentions of bridging the technological gap, the user friendly navigation, gorgeous visuals, and bright menus are fused so that grandparents can rock out to their great rock and roll icons.

While there are numerous web-based solutions that aid in the process of organizing and maintaining notes and documents, such as Google Docs, but none stand out more than Backpack. Backpack, which can be found at backpackit.com, provides one of the most comprehensive ways to stay organized on the web. The note taking functionality of Backpack is merely an attribute to the host of features offered in the Backpack Suite. Backpack takes an innovative approach to organization, utilizing the basic design principles of a standard personal website, while offering users effortless data entry under five categories; list, note, file, picture, or writeboard. After registration, users are prompted to create a new page. I would recommend creating a page for each class, this is the most efficient method for applying the service to a scholastic setting, though creating pages by topic may also be efficient depending on the user's needs. After naming the page, users can enter a brief summary that can include anything from teacher contacts, to the main points of the course. Backpack offers a great to-do list fea- ture that allows users to create tasks, and check them off wheç complete. The note taking functionality of Backpack is simple and effective.

The Reminder functionality also strikes a chord with Macintosh users by its ability to subscribe to reminders through Apple's iCal software. Users can also share pages with other users, thus making group studying convenient for everyone.

The Horno/Ammo Fire, the Wilcox Fire, the Cajon Fire, the McCoy Fire, and the Coronado Hills Fire. As of Oct. 29 Cal Fire reports all but the Witch, Harris, and Poomacha fires are 100% contained. Cal State San Marcos and nearby residents felt the heat in a close encounter with the shortlived Coronado Hills Fire. Many students living near campus awoke early Monday morning to the sight offlamesand the sound of sirens on South Twin Oaks Valley Road. Only claiming 300 acres, fire fighters quickly snuffed out the Coronado Hills fire by late Monday afternoon, lifting mandatory evacuations for residences near CSUSM and San Elijo Hills. The proximity of the fire coupled with extremely poor air quality forced CSUSM to close its doors for the remainder of the week. Classes resumed on Monday, Oct. 29. The latest figures place the number of people in Southern California displaced by the firestemporarily or permanently-at 950,000. Residents of San Diego County account for roughly 640,000 of those the fire displaced. Devastation of the scale caused by these fires has evoked comparisons to Hurricane Katrina, the last major disaster to draw national attention of the same caliber given to Southern California over the past week. San Diego County Sheriff Bill Kolender said the number of victims evacuated as a result of thesefireshas exceeded the number of victims evacuated from New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. Early on Sheriff Kolender predicted, "This fire will probably be the worst this county has ever seen-worse than the Cedar Fire," prophetic words that would resound through much of the week. Whether or not the cumulative damage of these fires in San Diego County exceeds that of the Cedar Fire remains to be seen.

She had been woken up by one of her roommates who told her to look outside—she could not believe her eyes. What she saw foreshadowed the long week ahead for many San Diego residents who had to evacuate their homes—many to never see them again—due to the many fires that threatened and took much of San Diego County. "The first thing I saw was a guy outside my roommate's window," said Zambrano. "He kept yell- ing, 'Don't worry about it, just get out.' One of my roommates thought she saw one of the apartments burning down and as soon as we stepped outside we saw all the cars trying to leave" Zambrano is one of many students living at Prominence Community right next to campus. The Apartment community holds more than 550 apartments with more students than families or elderly living there, said Thomas Peterson, Leasing Agent at Prominence. "[Between] late Sunday and early Monday we witnessed a fire on the hillside in back of the complex," said Peterson. "It was not a major threat, but just to be on the safe side we started to tell people." Peterson said the evacuation was not mandatory, but the majority of people who decided to evacuate left Monday around 2 a.m., although some stayed until Wednesday, and some decided to stay. The apartment community counts on 24-hour security, which was responsible for knocking on doors and informing people, as well as monitoring how close the fires got, he said. Zambrano and her roommates, like many residents there,fledthe apparent danger and found shelter at a friend's home in the area. "I had no idea what was going on," she said. "Everyone was honking their horns because I guess there was no time to call everyone because there are so many apartments. In that moment I just grabbed whatever I could. I took shoes and stuff for work, as well as my purse which at that time had my credit cards and birth certificate." She said she started trying to exit the gate community but was afraid they were not going to be able to get out. Once out and on the road she saw the fires burning on Coronado Hill up closer. "I saw the fires from my car, where you could see a view of the campus and the apartments," she said. "It looked like lava coming down." While Peterson stressed the traffic trying to leave was not chaotic— the complex has the front exit as well as an emergency exit through the back—the worst of the rush was early Monday morning. He said the fire was put out quite rapidly, and by the end of the week people began returning to their homes. But not everyone was so fortunate.

He was the first to tell me of the Witch / 78 fire that was at that time burning in between Santa Ysabel. I decided to leave school and go back to my house on the western edge of the Ramona city limit. Driving to the Pomerado Road exit on the 1-15, I was met with a wall of thick smoke blowing westward. Reaching my house, I quickly went to work clearing additional brush and other vegetation around our house. After we did as much as we could do, I returned to school after telling my dad to call me if I needed to come back home. After reaching school around 7:30 p.m. and working about 30 or 40 minutes, I received another call from my dad, calling me back home. As I drove south along the 1-15 by the North County Fair mall, I could see the flames off in the east. By the t ime! got home, my mom was already gathering photo albums and other irreplaceable items. I went through my room, gathering only three days worth of clothes, pictures, childhood mementos and not much else. By 11:00 p.m. we left our house in three vehicles. My dad stayed behind with our last vehicle, despite our attempts to convince him to leave. We took Highland Valley Road going west towards Escondido / Rancho Bernardo. With traffic, it took about 20 minutes to get to Pomerado Road when normally it takes only 10 minutes. Just before Pomerado Road, we encountered an overturned motor-home, blocking part of the road. We went to my brother's fiancée's house in Poway off of Espola Road. We were there only minutes before the power temporarily shut off. Taking into account the smoke, extreme wind Church's Influence on Sports The Good, the Bad and the Worse BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer After a week of sitting on my butt watching Fire Storm 2007 and working everyday at Island's caring to those looking for a brief escape. It is time to talk about the good the bad and the worse in sports this week. . First we will talk about the good. The number one story around the United States this week was the fires in California. But with hundreds of thousands being forced to evacuate their homes and businesses, San Diego residents were able to find shelter at Qualcomm Stadium. Now with thefiresstill pushing some residents to remain evacuated and others losing everything, San Diego is being forced to move on once again. And the first step to moving forward was the decision by mayor Jerry Sanders to allow the Chargers to play their home game in San Diego. Now San Diego will be showing to the world how strong of a community we are as the Chargers will be one of the many healing processes for the commu- nity as a whole. While all this was going on here at home, the World Series was underway and it was bad. Game one was a blow out. A 13-1 victory for the Boston Red Sox was the last thing that I wanted to watch. The Red Sox just proved to that Red Sox Nation that they are the real thing, which is really bad as they can now rule the league as they dominated teams all season long and have done so again this postseason. Now the Red Sox are making their stand and will more than likely win their second title of this century, which will be one more than the Yankees who last won a championship in 2000. But with the tides turning in favor of the Red Sox, it is only a matter of time before the Yankees go and buy young talent instead of the washed up team they are putting on the field now. The first step is resigning A-Rod for $40 million a year as he is going to be keep the price of YES network in near a billion instead of half that without him. Finally there is the ugly. And there is nothing uglier than Kobe Bryant and his "trade demand". Here is the problem with this situation. Kobe Bryant is desperate to leave LA after he requested that the Lakers "make a move or trade me" remarks at the beginning of the summer. Now Kobe isfindinghimself in a tough situation as he will need to make a decision. He wants to leave the second biggest basketball market or will he do the right thing and stay with the Lakers and play out his contract and when the time comes he can do what A-Rod is doing and opt out of his contract for more money. But for the time being, Kobe needs Jerry Buss the same way Buss needs Kobe. But with the Lakers developing young players instead of getting key marquee players to support Kobe, it is no wonder why Kobe wants out of the Lakers organization. He wants to win. Comments or questions can be emailed to me at churc009@ csusm.edu or pride@csusm. edu. and possible power failure, we decided to move again. We settled down shortly after midnight near CSUSM off of Rancho Santa Fe Road. I stayed up for another two hours listening the the news on the radio and on TV and calling my dad, continually asking him to leave our house. Around 2:00 a.m. on Monday morning, I heard of an unconfirmed report of a fire near Twin Oaks Valley Road. Driving north on Rancho Santa Fe Road, I caught sight of the flames just after passing San Marcos Boulevard. During the rest of the night, I checked up on the fire several times, heard that my dad got out safely and slept about two or three hours. In the morning, we moved from San Marcos to Lemon grove. Later the day we heard that our house was gone by word of our neighbor who stayed in the neighborhood and weathered out the storm in a concrete bunker he had previously built. Currently we are still staying in Lemon Grove. Some advice that has already been said: If you are in danger err on the side of caution and don't wait until it is too late.

ISSH �war BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer Gone are the days of going to the store to rent movies. Seeing as DVD's are much more manageable than video cassettes, it was only a matter of time before someone realized you could put them in the mail. Now, instead of having to go to the store for movies, through the services offered by different providers, you can get DVD's right in your mail. I had both of the most popular services, Netflix and in the market and has a share of Netflix users, are greatforseveral reasons. In terms of speed, while Blockbuster ships Blockbuster Online. Having switched back andforthtwice so movies fotrfy last, Netflix is faster on far, I know all about this oligopoly com- delivery. Also a plus for Netflix is their extensive selection. Many movies I have petition. In the beginning, there was Netflix.

This bonus provides a chance to get many movies, provided they are available in the store. Netflix has tried to combat this with the opportunity view movies online, which works fairly well. So it boils down to this - if you are not picky about having a wide variety of films, such as foreign and independent, and you frequently find yourself renting movies in store, Blockbuster is for you; but if going to the store is out of your way or if you prefer specialty films, Netflix is your best bet. Boo&Mee Japanese Cuisine P ympyn Ate BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER Pride Staff Writer Fall is in the air. When the sun starts setting earlier and grocery stores begin stocking up on candy and costumes for Halloween I feel the urge to make caramel apples and carve pumpkins. In the spirit of Autumn" I thought that I would sample Pumpkin Ale to experience all the flavors of Fall. One option available for the seasonal sensation is Buffalo Bill's Brewery's Pumpkin Ale. The ale is brewed with baked and roasted pumpkins combined with spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves. Some other pumpkin brewers include Post Road, Smuttynose, The Shipyard, Dogfish Head, and Blue Moon. The tradition of brewing pumpkin ales goes back to colonial America. According to money.cnn. com the native pumpkin was chosen as an alternative to British barley and hops. The result was a uniquely Americanflavoredbeer. As I taste the ale the pumpkin flavor seeps slowing into my conscious and leaves a spicy taste lingering. A cool and refreshing beverage paired well with any squash or pumpkin-carving event. For those of you who love pumpkins as much as I do I am sure that this will be something to look forward to every October. For the rest of you - give it a try and you may find something you like about pumpkins. BY JASON ENCABO Pride Staff Writer It's rare to find the combination of great Japanese food and great prices. The best places to get the most bang for your spicy tuna roll are the mom 'n pop restaurants. Not too far from campus is a Japanese restaurant that is tiny in square footage, but can fill a large appetite. Boo & Mee Cafe, located northwest of San Marcos Boulevard and Bent Ave, offers a variety of quality Japanese dishes for moderate prices. Sushi is a true testament to the notion that 'you get what you pay for,' and when you see a roll of sushi priced anywhere from 75 cents to $1.99, you can't help but get suspicious. Keeping with the thought that price reflects quality, for college students looking to step outside of the California roll but unwilling to empty their wallets, Boo & Mee just might be the ideal situation. With a menu consisting of Japanese specialties such as udon, yakisoba, curry, of course sushi, tempura and more, you won't find yourself looking for something that isn't on the menu. Boo & Mee offers rolls of sushi ranging from $2.90 to 9 dollars, offering the standard rolls of tuna, yellowtail, eel and more. They also offer their own specialties such as the Baja California roll, which is a California roll topped in crab and spicy sauce. The restaurant also offers a "pick two combo," where you can choose two dishes from a variety of tempura, teriyaki, sushi, stir f ry and deep fry, for under 6 dollars. These dishes can fill the average appetite, but for the truly hungry, I'd recommend ordering a roll of sushi in addition. Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride As for the environment of the restaurant, you won't find any fancy paintings on the wall, nor are there golden chop sticks to get your hands on, but don't think that will offset your appetite. With a TV on each end of the restaurant playing The Food Network, along with a random swordfish nailed to the northeast corner of the place, you'll be entertained as your taste buds await your meal. The restaurant from the customer's perspective is a one-man-show, with the sushi chef also acting as host, server and bus boy; the true signs of a mom 'n pop restaurant. From sushi to tempura to fried oysters, Boo & Mee offers a little more than what you pay for, and what the restaurant lacks in fanciness, i t certainly makes up in food quality; �16 A&E TueMav. October 30. 2007 THE PRIDE NDERGRO HIPHOP By Toria Savey I Pride Staff Writer Spoken word hip-hop collective Ill-Literacy comes to campus There are places that are alive with music. People perform on street corners and beats rise out of potholes and drift out of clubs and coffeehouses. Or any place with a roof, a door and a microphone. Those who look hard enough agree that San Diego is one of these locales, with lyrics embedded in its very blueprint, but on Friday night, one didn't have to go into the city to seek the energy. The music came directly to CSU San Marcos. The CSUSM Arts and Lectures Series in conjunction with campus' Kamalayan Alliance (KA) brought spoken-word hiphop collective Ill-Literacy to campus: And Ill-Literacy brought songs that were relatable, hilarious and tragic; an entire world. The evening opened with Irene Castruita, a former member of San Diego's own Los Able Minded Poets, another spoken word collective. Her introduction to her pieces, stating, "I don't call it spoken word, I call it spoken soul because we express our souls," may have made some mem- bers of the audience roll their eyes. However, when minutes seemed to fly as she covered topics like war, truth, poverty and beauty with a mixture of poetry, beats and a cappella singing, skepticism was quickly replace with fascination; Castruita was, in her own words, "singing songs in the key of life." Up next, it was time for the main act. After being announced and welcomed by a member of KA, Ill-Literacy took the stage. The welcome by the KA, while proper, may have been somewhat unnecessary. The group is made of four members who would own the stage whether it was offered to them or not. Reminiscent of many concerts, a single member was sent out to warm up the audience. Slowly, each member of the group came on stage, performing a segment of the opening number, and asking the audience to come with them on a "journey". While there were all sort of influences for the various songs, most involved some form of societal commentary. Ruby Veridiano-Ching called for a return to chivalry and a realizing of one's inner beauty. Adriel Luis, in addition to having the dubious job of being the first one on stage, performed an a mazing piece from the point of view of self-hatred. "Stop trying to find me in everyone else, and maybe, just maybe you can find me in yourself," he spat as he literally jumped around the stage. Dahlak Brathwaite, offered some of the most scathing commentary, beginning his time on stage by announcing that "the club looks nothing like the Yin Yang Twins says it does." Perhaps some of the most powerful moments on stage were during his tonguein-cheek explanation of the usage and ownership of the word "nigga" and its relationship to oppression. Two of the pieces that brought the most laughter and empathy from the audience though came from Nico Cary, the first a "f*ck you list", including everything from conservative politicians to people who had Lunchables and never Keep your ear to the ground Hip-hop albums Have you recently heard someone use the word "participle" while rapping? A verbalflowstrong enough that it defies the separations of verses and choruses? If not, maybe it's time for a little less 50 Cent and a little more Jurassic 5 in your record collection. Welcome to underground hip hop and spoken word. The same beat you love from mainstream hip hop, but the bar for innovation is set significantly higher. Here's a few discs, out of millions of possibilities, to expand your musical knowledge. Gil Scott-Heron The Revolution Will Not Be Televised One of the original beat poets, Scott-Heron was talking about the harsh hopelessness of the ghetto before the word "rap" had even hit social consciousness. The album is from the 1970s, and it sounds like it. The messages contained in it however are ageless, particularly "Whitey on the Moon", about poverty in the ghetto in comparison to the millions spent to put a man on the moon Jurassic Five Power In Numbers Jurassic 5 has definitely moved further towards the mainstream in the years they've been together. The group's sophomore album will take you far from the land of LiP Jon, while still maintaining the contagious beats that draw people to hip hop in the first place. Start with track 7, What's Golden, to have your faith restored in the verbal ability of emcees (the group has 4, and 2 DJs). Jurassic 5 is "sick ofphony mobsters, controlling the dancefloor",and after hearing what hip hop SHOULD sound like, you will be, too. Mos Def & Talib Kweli Black Star The group is composed of Mos Def and Talib Kweli, who each have plenty of albums that could have been included in this list. When the two are combined, they create Black Star, and some ground-breaking rap, more concerned with the state of culture than booty calls. Check out "Thieves in the Night": Not strong, only aggressive, 'cause the power ain t directed/ That 2? why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive. shared. The second was about his desire to be a revolutionary, but being too bombarded by different types of "revolution" recruiters on the campus of UC Berkeley to decide on a cause, and mocking the inability of each group tofindcommon ground. At the beginning, Adriel announced IllLiteracy's intent to "reawaken a culture". They spoke to the audience, provoking everything from uncontrollable laughter to shouted agreement during statements about society's stumbling blocks. A throw back to beat poets and early DJs more than the violent "gangsta" rap that's become popular, the group showcased hip hop at its finest, exhibiting unbelievable word flow without a single gang shout out or misogynistic reference. Looking around at an auditorium full of wide eyed people hanging on the group's every word, it would seem that IllLiteracy's goal is Well on its way to becoming reality. On Friday night, even if only for a moment, CSU San Marcos was not only awakened, but ignited. Speaking with spoken words Ill-Literacy interview One of the main appeals of Ill-Literacy, in comparison to others in the field of spoken word and hip hop, may be their accessibility, with audience members coming up to them after the show and interacting like long-lost friends. When the flock thinned a little, the Pride had a chance to ask the group a few quick questions. As gleaned from their interaction on stage, the members of Ill-Literacy are friends as much as they're band mates. There was constant laughter, as they gave the same answers and finished each others' sentences. Dahlek: Yeah, we get, what would you say, like withdrawals. Without each other. What's the smallest show you've ever played? Adriel: Man, I think like 6. Probably 6. So would you rather play for six or 1,000? D: Depends. If you get all 6 of those people in, it could be your best show ever. What do you guys do after shows? D: I don't think you can print it. R: (laughter) We usually have dinner. Eat. Celebrate.

In addition to the new library and the arts and science buildings, the field house is scheduled to begin construction in July of 2001. "The field house will serve as a recreational building for students," according to Dave Dennis of CSUSM Planning and Construction. The building will house a gymnasium with half Courts for basketball and volleyball, men and women's locker rooms, conference rooms, offices for student government and a convenience store. The field house will also include a 24-Hour Fitness-style weight room with bicycles and other exercise equipment. The construction site for the field house will be on the corner of Campus Way and Campus View Drive, opposite the north parking lot. �2 Tuesday, October 31, 2000 CSUSM Student Brings Home the Gold » Continuedfrom page 1 2000 Paralympic United States Team The USA Wheelchair Rugby team consists of twelve athletes: Cliff Chunn and Bryan Kirkland of Alabama, Wayne Romero and Eddie Crouch of Tennessee, Norm Lyduch of Texas, Bill Renje of Colorado, and Dean Maccabe and Steve Pate of California. SanDiegans include, Rick Draney, Daniel Guillou, Troy McGuirk and Ralph Shadowens. Guillou broke his neck in 1986 when diving into the shal- On Campus low end of a public pool. He was only sixteen years old when he became a quadriplegic. Guillou, a math major, took the semester off to prepare for the games. This is Guillou's first Paralympic competition. According to the Olympic Committee, Dan Guillou is one of the founding members (1993) of the Sharp Shadow WR Team from Southern California, Guillou's Shadow team has never placed lower than 5th at the national championships. His Shadow squad finished as the USQRA National Champions from 1996-98. As stated in his Paralympic athlete profile, "since starting to play rugby in 1991* Guillou has won many all-tournament team awards including his selection to the 1999, '96 and '95 National Championship All-Tournament teams and one Sportsmanship Award. Guillou was also on the 1993 USA Wheelchair Rugby Team that won a gold medal at The StokeMandeville International Wheelchair Games in England." • After the game both teams congratulated each other for a great match. Photo by Melanie Addington How to Play Wheelchair Rugby Commonly referred to as "murder ball", rugby (and wheelchair rugby) consists of several sports; basketball, volleyball and ice hockey played on a basketball court. The game is played in four eight-minute quarters. Wheelchair Rugby is for quadriplegics, meaning all of the athletes have some paralysis in all four limbs. All of the athletes use manual wheelchairs and full Dan Guillou (number 11) helped defense for the USA team. Photo by Melanie Addington Students Apply for NASA Project »Continued from page 1 Students from more than 350 colleges and universities will compete for the opportunity to test their theories at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Their project, A.M.I.S. (Airway Management in Space), passed the first hurdle of the competition when the TSGC approved the plan for further consideration. Now the group has to complete their proposal for a November 6 deadline. Team member Mike Garcia said, "Our goal is to prove we can put a better apparatus in place for dealing with respiratory emergencies in space." A.M.I.S. team members believe that a device called a COMBITUBE will work better in a respiratory emergency than the equipment astronauts use T he Pride now. Currently, astronauts have equipment that requires extensive training by the user. Due to the effects of microgravity in space, handling those devices can be problematic. The COMBITUBE has features that Team A.M.I.S. thinks make it uniquely suited for space missions. It reduces guesswork by employing a marked air tube, chair contact is legal. The Canadian Wheelchair Sports Association states, "as a sport specifically created for quadriplegics, wheelchair rugby is truly an emerging sport, rather than and adapted or modified version of an already existing able-bodied sport." A volleyball is used and can be carried, dribbled or passed, but not kicked. The ball must be bounced every ten seconds. The offensive team has fifteen seconds to come out of its own half of the court. Violation of the rules results in a turnover 6f the ball. According to the International WR Federation, the most common fouls are: interference, holding, charging and spinning. The goal is to carry the ball over the opponent's eight-meter long goal line, which results in the scores. The teams consist of four players and eight substitutes. The players are classified from 0.5 I (lowest) to 3.5 (highest) accordI ing to their abilities. Dan Guillou ranks as a 0.5 and states that he is i primarily on the court for defen1 sive strategy. He states that if the 1 ball gets into his hands, "some[ thing has gone terribly wrong." Typically, the 3.5 ranked players make most if not all of the which lets the user estimate how far the tube is inserted into the mouth. A latex cuff holds the device in place, while the tube is directed through it, down the airway. Two syringes, at the oppo! site end of the tube, are used to j inflate balloons that provide air | to the patient. SDSU's Michelle Inzunza initiated the idea while visiting NASA last summer. Inzunza invited Bennet, Garcia, and Lora Elliott of San Diego City College to join her in the proposal. Elliott told how she became part of the group, "Michele called me to ask if I wanted to get involved and I jumped at the idea." All four are science majors and paramedics who work together. CSUSM Biology major J.J. Campbell was added to the team as an alternate. Campbell said, "Fm excited to be part of the team." According to Inzunza, Campbell's role may be the most important "Since the program is open only to undergraduates, J. J. (Campbell) will be the one to pass knowledge of the process to other groups." The team wants to promote their experience so that other students will apply for the Back row (left to right): J.J. Campbell, Mike Garcia and Lor a Elliott. grants.

He is the fastest and has the most maneuverability of his teammates, but the level of their paralysis and not their skill is how all athletes are ranked. History Wheelchair rugby was formed in 1977 in Canada. In 1989, the first International Competition was held in Toronto. In 1990, the World Stoke Mandeville Wheelchair Games held WR. Dan Guillou participated in the 1993 USA team that won the gold medal in those games.,The first of three European Zone Championships were held in Sweden in 1995. In that same year, the International Paralympic Committee granted WR a Paralympic Sport status. In the 1996 Atlanta Paralympics, wheelchair rugby was a demonstration sport, meaning it was a pre-game to grant the medal sport status for the Sydney 2000 games. This was the first year that medals were given for WR. Along with the Paralympic gold medal, U.S.A is currently ranked the world champion of wheelchair rugby. to test their theory. Their experiment will be conducted while flying in a specially equipped aircraft (KC-135A) that NASA uses primarily, in support of its space missions. Gerhardt Konig, a UCSD student who was successful in winning a grant last year, also advises the team. Besides advising them on their proposal, Konig wants to help them promote their experience. "I think I can help them make this into a more publishable research project," said Konig. The A.M.I.S. team has also solicited the help of the California Space Grant Consortium (CSGC) which has initially earmarked $3000 for their project. Ultimately, the CSGC may fund as much as $25000 toward the A.M.I.S. project. A.M.I.S. team members are committed to participate in a community outreach program after conducting the experiment. One idea they have is to use toys in their experiment, so they can use them in promoting the effects of reduced-gravity conditions to schoolchildren. The team would also lecture at venues like the Rueben H. Fleet space museum in Balboa Park. �The Pride On Campus CSUSM Student Government CAPS R eaches Out to C ollege Students By: Melanie Addington When finished with the test, the Alive and Well Pride Editor student adds up the total score. I s Alcohol a P roblem i n Your Life? Sunni Lampasso and Travis Bradberry of Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) set up a table outside the Dome to provide information regarding students and alcohol as part of Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week, October 16-20. Lampasso and Bradberry also passed out key chains, pens, and informational brochures on drinking safely and alcohol-problem assessment tests. The first p art of the assessment test consisted of four questions: "Have you ever felt you should cut down on your drinking? Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking? Have you ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking? Have you ever had an eye-opener (a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves)?" The second section of the test asked ten questions/Some of the questions asked, "How do you drink? How often do you feel guilty, and have you ever harmed someone through your drinking?' "If the score is an eight or higher it indicates a strong likelihood of hazardous or harmful alcohol consumption," according to Core Concepts in Health, the source of the tests. Although the assessment test was only given during the Awareness campaign, Bradberry explained that students are welcome to talk with them (CAPS) at any time through the year. Counseling and assessment is always available for anyone who is concerned about his/her drinking behavior. For further information contact CAPS at 750-4910.

Try naming the President of our student government or the name of the government s/he leads. Where does our government get its funding and how are monies spent? Student representation at CSUSM is alive and well, but you have to look for the letters ASI. The Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) is the official name of student government at CSUSM. ASI consists of eighteen board members; five executives, three student directors, and ten representatives Every April, the CSUSM student body holds an election to select its leaders to one-year terms, and they are responsible for protecting student rights at CSUSM. According to ASI President Dean Manship, vacancies still exist in five representative positions including Arts and Sciences, College of Education, and Post Baccalaureate, " the vacant positions are open to an application process by the Board. It is important for the students to get involved," said Manship. • As its name infers, ASI is a corporation, founded in 1991.

CSUSM S tudents D ecorate S kulls I n C elebration of t he D ay of t he D ead By: Adam Bailey Pride Staff Writer "That workshop was fun,'* remarked Maria Cervantes. Cervantes was one of many CSUSM students who attended a sugar skull workshop, "Taller de Calaveras de azucar", on Thursday evening* October 26. The workshop was hosted by the Spanish Department and taught by Liz Strahle, a Spanish major. The workshop focused on how to create sugar skulls, also known as "calaveras de azucar." The creation of the skulls is a Mexican tradition that coincides with "El Dia de los Muertos." Students received Mexican fortune cookies during the beginning of the workshop and then Strahle briefly discussed the history of the skulls in Spanish. According to Strahle, sugar skulls are made every year to adorn home altars and cemetery grave yards in hopes of welcoming back those unfortunate souls that have passed on to the other side. The skulls are made from Tuesday, October 31,2000 3 An altar decorated by students for the Day ofthe Dead. Students took part in a Sugar Skull workshop on Oct. 26 in celebration of the holiday.

The sugar-skull tradition is rich in history and takes its roots from the Aztec practices of keep- ing skulls around in hopes that the dead will return. After the students received the history of the skulls, they were finally able to get down to business to make their own sugar skulls; The students were male and female, young and old and from various ethnic and social backgrounds. The group seated themselves around tables that contained already made skulls, decorative ornamentats and tools for the job. Some of the students decorated their skulls with flowers, some with flashy colored paper, and some skulls with swirls. The chosen decorations gave on-lookers insight into the personality of the creator of each skull. Whether students chose to attend the workshop to learn to decorate sugar skulls, to learn the history of where they came from, or to just have f un, the experience proved to be both entertaining and enlightening for everyone. employs an Executive Director to help manage the day-to-day operations. Over the past three years, the ASI budget has tripled to approximately $660,000. Students pay a $50 fee every semester to ASI and as enrollment increases, so does ASI's income. ASI also receives about $160,000 in income from The Early Learning Center. The childcare facility, located on Twin Oaks Valley Road, was acquired by ASI to benefit CSUSM students. Manship wants students to take full advantage of the subsidized childcare offered at the center, "We need to get the word out that child care at the center only costs the student twenty dollars a day. The center is licensed for forty-eight children, but most days they are only at half-capacity." The Board of Directors convenes regularly to discuss how ASI should distribute funds. One way the money is spent is by awarding scholarships. ASI also sponsors student activities such as concerts, multicultural events and Have you visited the revamped ASI Student Lounge yet? It's located in Commons 201. at work. Besides those expenditures, ASI also hires students as part-time workers to carry out the daily chores of operating student government on campus. Manship, who meets regularly with CSUSM President Gonzalez, stressed that representing the student body is his primary concern. "I have more of an opportunity to make the students' voices heard at the University," said Manship. He also hopes more students will become involved in campus government at CSUSM.

Esta festividad se Ileva a cabo el primero de noviembre y aunque hoy en dia la manera de celebrarla de los mexicanos se parece bastante a Halloween, aun conserva sus ingredientes originates que son tipicos de esta celebration tales como los altares, el pan de muerto, los alfeniques; la flor de cempasuchil (tambien conocida como la flor de muerto), y la yisita al cementerio a visitar la tumba de sus familiares ya fallecidos. Ademas, durante este tiempo Se le dedican calaveras o satiras a personalidades destacadas o politicos. Desde antes de la llegada de los espanoles a Mexico, los aztecas ya hacian ritosyofrendas a sus muertos. Los aztecas tenian lugares especiales donde ofrecian comida a sus muertos dos veces por ano por cuatro anos porque creian que en ese tiempo llegaban al lugar donde descansaban. Despues de la conquista, los mexicanos hacian estas ofrendas en los altares que hacian en sus casas. Desde entonces es una tradition hacer altares. Estos arreglos generalmente se hacen encima de una mesa donde ponen la fotografia de la persona fallecida, una imagen de la Virgen Maria o de su santo preferido, veladoras, y flor de muerto o cempasuchil. Ademas, se le agrega al altar la comida preferida de la persona cuando estaba viva. Y es asi como la gente pojie sus altares a sus familiares muertos creyendo que ellos^yienen durante la noche a comer. Hay algo tambien muy tipico en "El Dia de los Muertos" y esto es el "pah dq muerto". Aunque el nombre indique algo diferente no es mas que un pan hecho con ingredientes iguales a los panes comunes. La diferencia es que el pan de muerto tiene uiiO& treinta centimetros de diametro y unos cinco de espesor. En "El Dia de los Muertos" los vendedores colocan sus puestos en las plazas del centro de las ciudades o pueblos donde venden sus panes. Aparte del pan de muerto, tambien se vende el alfenique. El alfenique es una pasta de azucar que se le da formas diferentes y se cose en aceite de almendras. Las figuras de alfenique qu£ se pueden encontrar en esta fecha son la tipica calavera, un cajon de muerto con un esqueleto adentro, una pareja de calavera? besandose, y casas con calaveras adentro. Adem&s, se encuentran calaveras vestidas de maestro, de doctor, de futbolista, de boxeador, y hasta de karateka. Alii mismo se le imprime a la calavera el nombre que el cliente guste. El tamano de estas figuras varia desde unos dos a treinta centimetros aproximadamente. En "El Dia de los Muertos" no puede faltar la flor de cempasuchil como la conocian los aztecas, una flor amarilla que ya usaban los aztecas en sus ritos a sus muertos antes de la llegada de los espanoles. Esta flor se usa para ponerla en los altares y llevarle flores a los muertos al cementerio. The History Of Halloween By: Adam Bailey Pride Staff Writer Year after year, Halloween is observed and celebrated. Giving us all a good excuse to let down our guards a little and have some fun. I myself remember many sleepless nights spent imagining the endless supply of candies I would be receiving on Halloween night. Or the countless armies of illuminated pumpkin faces placed behind drawn curtain windows that would be greeting me on my journeys to obtain such a candy bounty. Yet I never sat down and thought about its origins, just where did Halloween come from and how long has it been observed? Halloween it seems has been around in one form or another since day one. From Egypt which observed the Death of Osiris to modern day Mexico which observes El Dia de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead, some sort of Death Festival has taken place and been celebrated. Traditions of melancholy for being alive and of reflection for those deceased being passed down the millenniums and changed here in there to fit the latest religions and social beliefs.

The calaveras are sugar candy in the form of skeletons. People usually take the time to decorate the candied skulls. Moreover, the newspapers publish satirical poems dedicated especially to politicians or famous people of Mexico, The following is a "calavera" dedicated to CSUSM students: Halloween has made its way here to the United States can be found in the Ancient Celtic traditions of Ireland and Scotland. Halloween as we now it in the United States was first observed as the Druid holiday of the new year, Samhain. Samhain occurred on Nov 1 and was said to be the time of the year when the two worlds of the living and the after life where to be at their closest to each other. Ghosts and Spirits of those passed away were said to have the capability of crossing over that day back into the world of the living;. The festival would begin the eve of Nov 1, Oct 31 called Oidhche Shamhna before the onset of dusk and Samhain (Dusk to the Ancient Celts was the beginning of the day not the ending, days ran from dusk of one day to the dusk of the next day): With dusk nearly arriving, the different families of a particular village would gather around one immense fire that they would burn sacrificed cattle in. This practice lead to the term Bonfire, or Bone Fire. From this bonfire all patrons of the village would return home and light their home fires, signifying unity with in that village. Samhain arrived with the dusk and the villagers returning year on NovL In 837 A.D. Shamhain was adopted by the Christian Church and forever transformed into All Hallows Day or All Saints day, Oidhche Shamhna was subsequently designated All Hallows Eve and later Halloween. The Church took up some of the practices of these days, but ultimately deemed others as both demonic and satanic. Thus they changed some of the customs and lost the original intent of the Celtic culture. In the early 1900's Irish immigrants brought with them to this country many of their traditions and customs. Customs and traditions that had been passed down to them over the centuries by their relatives and parents, and that would make an impact upon and take shape within their new homeland of America. Perhaps the most recognizable and most important of these impacts was influencing and shaping Halloween into the holiday as we know it today. to their homes. Local villagers now home would unlock gates, and leave out food and drink to appease happy wanted spirits. They would conversely leave out turnips or beats that had fierce or angry faces carved in them to act as guardians against angry spirits that were not wanted. Angry spirits were said to be capable of destroying or bringing bad luck to farmers who hoped for a prosperous growth of crops in the coming spring. These villagers would also try and avoid nocturnal animals such as bats, owls, or cats that were said to have the power of crossing between the world of life and the world of death and often times followed the dead around. These animals were feared arid left alone on this day just m case that they might be following an angry spirit. This day however was not all about fear because the Ancient Celts believed this day to be a day not only as a time of reflection upon those who were dead but as a time of celebration as well. Families held prayers and eat mini feasts, children were said to dress up like the dead and play pranks upon the living, and the community was strengthened as a whole by the great bonfire ceremony that took place every Poor university students! The Bony Lady is waitingfor them. They give up on their homework in the middle of the semester and, without a doubt, she is going to take them. Some of them will pray... Perhaps she will forgive them? But Ifeel sorry for them because what is worse? to leave this life or to study forfinals? Nobody knows.

In the 1998 congressional elections, a pathetic 36 .4% of the population bothered to visit the poll. What is worse is'that the 1998 turnout was lower than the 38.8% of the population that showed up in the 1994 off-year congressional election. Signs are pointing to an even lower voter turnout in this upcoming November 2000 election. It is frightening to think that our voter turnout percentages are only higher to that of Switzerland, and they aren't exactly voting for potentially the most politically powerful man in the world. We have all heard the reasons why before, " My vote doesn't really count. I don't really care. Politics is boring." Whatever the reason, any reason for neglecting to vote is not good enough. We ; don't live in a pure democracy, yet our ability to be involved in free and fair elections is a fundamental element of our power as I individual citizens. As college s tu3Mts,"iFl^ of the utmost importance for us to develop good voting habits. We are part of the educated future. If you are far from home, that is still no excuse. Steve Dwyer, a student at Minnesota State University says, " I did something that I hope all college students do; I voted by absentee ballot. The act of voting is a very simple act, yet at the same time it produces an immense effect." If freshmen in Minnesota can vote, so can we. Low voter turnout may not, however, be the total result of sloth. An article from the National Council for Economic Education, on November 2^ 1998, cites economics as a culprit for low voter turnout. "The cost of obtaining detailed information about candidates (e.g., attending meetings, reading position papers) is so high that voters tend to depend on inexpensive forms of information about candidates, such as using the media and talking to friends." - So, you think you don't have time? Read your college newspaper, hopefully you are doing it right now. The information will be enough to get you interested in finding out more. If you still don't have time to read, MTV has a" rock the vote" program that infiltrates their daily mix of music. The radio can also be utilized during that drive to school to get your daily dose of political information. In a perfect world, we all vote and we would all take an active roll in our political future this November. Hopefully, the statistics of American Voter Turnout give lis pause and send a few of us to the polls a little more excited about our involvement in our governmental process. Who Votes Less? -Youhg Voters (people aged 18-20) have the lowest voter turnout of all age groups. -Nonwhites vote less than whites. -People with less education vote less than people with more education. -Unemployed people vote less than employed people. -People living in cities vote less than people in rural areas. -People living in the North and West vote more than people living in the South.

"No. I don't want to vote on something I don't know about." Michael Torres M San Diego County Campaign Madness: Part III (Steinem) By: Victor Mireles Pride StaffWriter On the campus of SDSU, some students walked to their dorms, some students sat on the porch of Monty's Pub drinking pitchers of beer, and some students came to watch the presidential debate on Tuesday, October 17. Voters For Choice, a nonpartisan group founded by feminist Gloria Steinem, held a debateviewing gathering in support of SDSU's delegation. As the name implies, the group supports abortion rights, gay and lesbian rights, and other matters critical to this pro-choice group. Unlike other debate parties where either the groups were extremely partisan or extremely apathetic to the mainstream political process, Voters for Choice did not celebrate debate points or quips by either candidate, but most of the thirty people attending the event watched in total concentration. Executive Director of Voters for Choice, Maureen Britell, views the presidential race with nervousness. "I think we are all concerned," she said in response to polls showing George W. Bush with a small lead. "I don't think they understand the stakes. The Supreme Court, Roe vs. Wade are all in jeopardy." Although the group supports A1 Gore, Maureen made a point of saying that the group is bi-partisan. "We don't care if they are Democrat or Republican. It's about choice." Gloria Steinem was scheduled to appear at the debate viewing, followed by a Q & A session regarding the presidential race. Maureen Britell reported that Steinem had to leave with a family emergency. Halfway through the debate, a Women's Studies class came to hear Steinem. When the Women's Studies professor learned that Gloria was not at the debate viewing, she said, "It's disappointing," The Voters For Choice workers gave interviews to media vendors. They mostly repeated the same line about protecting abor"Yes I am.

Browne ran f orjhe office of the President in 1996 and received 485,759 votes, the second highest total ever for a Libertarian since the party's formation in 1971. Yet, the average person has never even heard of this man, let alone understands his position concerning taxes, social security, education, or any other key issues that will affect or influence their decision in the polls on November 7. Harry Browne was born in New York City on June 17, 1933. He lived in Los Angeles for a good deal of his childhood and now resides in Franklin, Tennessee. Browne was an investment advi- sor for over 30 years before he Browne believes in getting rid became a politician.

Bush: Republican By: Nicole Moreno Pride Staff Writer If you feel as if everyone is talking about campaign issues, from political news correspondents to soccer moms in the local grocery store, you are correct. The platforms of Gore and Bush are the talk of the nation. Many voters, however, remain confused about which candidate to vote for because they have not had a chance to study all of the issues in depth. Information regarding the Republican Party and George Bush's positions on the issues follows: Trade Bush supports restoration of "fast track" negotiating authority for the President, which is a move toward the elimination of trade barriers and tariffs. He has called for strict enforcement of anti-dumping and unfair trade laws. Bush seeks the expansion of NAFTA and China's admission into WTO. Education Bush believes that reform of the nation's public schools is overdue. Reform, according to Bush, includes a necessary setting of high standards, promoting character education, and ensuring school safety. States will be offered freedom f rom federal regulation, but will be held accountable via mandatory yearly performance assessments. • Taxes Bush believes that one-quarter of the surplus should be returned to the people through broad tax cuts. These cuts include fiigh marginal rates, doubling of the child credit, elimination of the death tax, reduction in the marriage penalty, and expansion of Education Savings Accounts and charitable deductions. The largest percentage of cuts will go to the lowest income earners. Abortion Pro Life. Exceptions are to be made in cases of rape and incest. Bush places an emphasis on parental notification and rights and protection of unborn children. This information is only the tip of the presidential iceberg. A decision on which candidate is right for you can only be the result of attention to details as stated by the candidates and those who represent them. An idea of the scope of the candidates' endeavors can be glimpsed by an understanding of their views on the major issues.

Lee Thibadeau Al Gore Photo by Nebuxi With only a few days left before the election, the race for the Presidency is very close. For months, Al Gore has laid out his agenda in great detail. Education Al Gore's plan to improve education has three parts: he will require testing of all new teachers to ensure that they are knowledgeable in the subjects that they teach. He will also phase-in national testing of students in phases, and will give more money to schools that show improvement in testing and academic scores. Finally, he will support measures to raise teacher's salaries. Al Gore is opposed to school vouchers and merit pay. Both the National Education Association and the American Federation of Dr. Cynthia Skovgard "I will work to change policies and political coalitions that are driving endless growth," stated Skovgard. "Status quo, mediocre elected representatives are duplicating the reckless mistakes of Orange and Los Angeles Counties. We need to protect our priceless rural community from such destruction. Growth is not inevitable; shortsighted leaders create it." Up her sleeve lies the proverbial "ace in the hole," an initiative currently referred to as "The San Marcos Growth Management and Neighborhood Protection Act." Authored by Skovgard and the San Marcos Chamber of Citizens, the ballot measure promises to curtail growth to "acceptable levels" by leaving the ultimate decision up to the people. The measure, which will be voted on in November, accomplishes this feat by requiring Tuesday, October 31,2000 7 patients' privacy, gives special attention to the needs of the physically and mentally disabled, and conducts treatment and research unimpaired by sexism, racism, or homophobia." Even with his arrests and zealous attitude, McReynolds realizes the necessary steps for bringing about widespread political change. "I am more moderate than many in my party and I hope to unify forward thinkers nation wide that is the only really way to bring about change, through unification," says Reynolds. For McReynolds, the goal of a freethinking, liberal society will not end with the 2000 election, as America's change will come slowly; McReynolds understands the battle. later. He began a career as a lawyer in Washington, DC, and became well known in 1965 for his book Unsafe at Any Speed, which exposed dangerous defects in cars. He has founded and organized consumer rights' agencies, like the Environment Protection Agency (EPA), Consumer Product Safety Administration and Public Interest Research Group (PIRG), and is responsible for several federal laws that deal with the protection of consumers. The Clean Air Act, Freedom of Information Act and OSHA are among Nader's projects. voter approval for any development project that alters the City of San Marcos' General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. "The San Marcos Growth Management and Neighborhood Protection Act of 2000" would specifically call for voter approval for anything that increases the intensity or density of the General Plan. This voter approval would be gathered through either special or general elections, depending on the timeliness of the matter. "Growth is not inevitable," added Skovgard.. "People didn't move here to become part of LA; they moved here to get away from it." The current General Plan, as approved by the City Council, already provides specific areas for agriculture, housing, soft retail and industrial sites, called zones. Furthermore, the plan calls for the city to essentially "build out" at the 100,000-population mark in twenty years. So why do we need another law to make the City Council abide by a plan that they initiated? As Dr. . Skovgard puts it, they seem to have no interest in sticking to their original plan. The proposition Skovgard states was drafted in response to 68.3 percent of the community who stated in 1993 that they would like to see San Marcos stay about the same, population wise, as it was then. The figures come from a council-commissioned study called "Imagine! San Marcos." "They say they have this open door policy for information," added Skovgard, "they say they want the public's input but then they don't use it." �8 Tuesday, October 31,2000 Prop. 932: Veterans Bond By: Jared E. Young Pride Staff Writer Proposition 32, the Veterans' Bond Act of 2000, provides for a bond issue of $500 million to provide farm and home aid for California veterans at no cost to the taxpayer. Voters have approved about $8 billion of general obligation bond sales since 1921, all of which finance the veterans' farm and home purchase (Cal-Vet) pro- Prop. 33: Public Employee's Retirement System By: Jayne Braman Pride Graduate Intern If passed, Prop 33 would amend the State Constitution and allow legislators to participate in the State-based retirement system. In 1990, voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 140, which specified term limits and other reforms to eliminate career politicians. Presently, state legislators are only eligible to participate in the federal Social Security system. Prop 33 seeks to include legislators in the state's Public Employee's Retirement System (PERS) based on the fact that when many legislators quit their jobs in the private to serve in office, they lose retirement ben- Prop. 35: Public Works Projects By: Bryan Clark Pride Staff Writer Prop 35 complements the manner in which California handles construction of public works projects. If passed, the proposition would allow private construction companies to be contracted by the state and local agencies for building highways, schools, and bridges. Public employees, such those affiliated with CalTrans, currently perform the majority of these tasks. The spirit of the proposition maintains to improve the current methods, "through a fair, competitive selection process, free of undue political influence, to obtain the best quality and value for California taxpayers." Opposing sides of this prop- ' osition advocate differences in the area of competing measures. Those against Prop 35 maintain that allowing the private sector to Vote 2000: The Propositions The Pride gram. As of July 2000, there were about $270 million of those funds remaining. Proposition 32 would add another $500 million to that fund, allowing about 2,500 more veterans to receive loans. The Cal-Vet program has not yet cost the taxpayer a penny because participating veterans pay into the program. Consequently, Proposition 32 would not cost the taxpayer anything, unless the payments of the participating veterans did not fully cover the costs of the program (which will be $858 million dollars after interest, to be paid back over 25 years at $34 million per year). efits and employer-matched contributions. Current state employees can contribute up to 5 percent of their salary to the plan while the state's contribution is determined annually by PERS and is dispersed according to percentages of the employee's salary. Supporters of Prop 33 ask for the same benefits for legislators as any other state employee. They believe that by denying our elected officials access to a retirement plan, then the only people who will be able to afford to run for office would be people who are rich enough not to need pension plans. Supporters state that Prop 33 "will require no additional state spending." Opponents to Prop 33 state, "the cost for maintaining this benefit would be under $1 million each year," depending on how .many legislators enroll in the program. Further, opponents say that legislators receive a salary of $99,000 and are reimbursed for some living expenses; they do not want to encourage people to run for office with the promises of luxury benefits at taxpayer expense. A snapshot of Vietnam Soldiers Photo by Lionel Burns Prop. 34: Campaign Contributions and Spending By: Christopher Orman Pride Staff Writer On Tuesday November 7, Californians will congregate to various polling stations, certainly confused on Prop 34. Claiming to bring about campaign finance reform, both liberals and conservatives can be heard arguing in favor of or against the proposition. The major argument about Prop 34 concerns the status of Prop 208, a campaign finance reform law passed in 1996. In January of 1998, a lawsuit challenging Prop 208 blocked the enforcement of the law's provisions. With Prop 208 dead, the California State legislature felt campaign finance reform remained necessary for California's elections. However according to opponents of Prop 34, such as John McCain, the proposition has fewer restrictions than Prop 208. compete with the public services could lead to dangerous cost cutting, which may lead to a loss of quality in city roads, schools, and bridges. Those in favor of Prop 35 insist that allowing competition would lead to faster development of necessary highways, schools, and bridges, in turn, increasing state productivity and improving By: Nathan Fields necessary public works. Pride Staff Writer Prop. 36: Rehabilitation for Drug Users Organizations in opposition of Prop 35: -California Tax Reform Association -Congress of California Seniors -Consumer Federation of California -California Seniors Coalition -http ://www.noon35.com Organizations in favor of Prop 35: -CaliforniaTaxpayers' Association -San Diego County Taxpayers Association -United Californians for Tax Reform -Responsible Voters for Lower Taxes -http ://www.veson35.com Proposition 36 will ask Californians on Nov. 7 to decide whether illegal drug-users should undergo rehabilitation in privately run programs or be sent to prison. If passed, the proposition would affect more than 24,000 nonviolent, personal-use drug offenders a year. Supporters of Proposition 36 say it would cut serious crimes that accompany addiction and relieve crowded prisons, saving the state an estimated $250. million a year. Under Proposition 36, those sent to rehabilitation would be forced to pay their own fees if the courts determine they can manage the costs. Offenders could be put behind bars if they fail or refuse the program. In most cases, successful completion o r rehabilitation would qualify offenders to have their charges dropped and Prop 34, according to the California Voter's Information guide, proposes to limit individual campaign contributions per election: $3,000 for state legislature, $5,000 for statewide elective office and $20,000 for governor races. Not only would limits be placed, but also contributions or expenditures of $1,000 or more would be disclosed on-line to the public in twenty-four hours. Proponents of Prop 34 comment on the lack of donation size limits under the current laws. On the construction of Prop 34, Gray Davis, who has continually worked for campaign finance reform, commented to the LA Times, "This bill was devised largely in secret, without the input from public or knowledgeable sources making the proposition imperfect." Concurring with. Davis' sentiments, the fairly liberal San Francisco Chronicle about Prop 34 wrote in a September 24th editorial, "The major parties are handed vast loopholes in 34 that will enable them to become big benefactors to candidates who are otherwise constrained in fund arrest record erased. According to the California Department of Corrections, drug offenders in prison jumped from 1,778 in 1980 to 45,455 last year. California spent more than $1 billion to imprison offenders in 1999 alone. In addition to potential savings for not housing offenders in existing prisons, the state might also save $500 million that would be spent on new prisons, according to the State Legislative Analyst's Office. The state estimates the measure would also free up some 12,000 county jail beds statewide. "I hope we can finally understand that get-tough' drug laws are wasting money and getting poor results," said Assemblyman Tony Cardenas, D-Van Nuys, an outspoken advocate of prevention legislation to the L.A. Times. Cardenas said drug dealers should continue to get stiff sentences, but users - about half of California's drug offenders - should be given a chance at rehabilitation. Opponents of Prop. 36 claim that it over-estimates private rehabilitation programs, and believe that more money should be spent on in-prison rehabilitation programs instead. But addicts would raising. Providing an example of Prop 34's loopholes, the San Francisco Chronicle explains, "For example, an Assembly candidate would be forced to raise most of his or her money under a $3,000-per-donation limit, but the party could directly contribute any amount of money it wished to the candidate." "Parties would become a major source of backdoor contributions to candidates, as has occurred at the federal level with the proliferation of "soft money," would happen with the passage of Prop 34, the San Francisco Chronicle wrote. Some voters remain concerned about the status of Prop 208. If litigation against Prop 208 finds the proposition unconstitutional, and voters vote "no" on Prop 34, California would have no campaign finance reform laws. Voters will have to decide between an imperfect proposition created hastily and secretively or face the prospect of, no campaign finance reform for California. [For more information: http://www.calvoter.org. have to be criminalized to take advantage of prison programs. Opponents point out that no standards for private clinics have been set. The measure would heavily affect clinics and detoxification rehabilitation centers, where the state aims to spend $120 million over five years, or $4,000 per drug offender, as opposed to $20,000 spent on each prison inmate. It is clear, however, that legislation is needed to set strict standards to prevent unqualified centers from winning contracts. While opponents of the measure think the stated numbers of state savings are overly optimistic, Proposition 36 supporters have a sharp advantage, having raised a $3 million in funding compared to just $215,000 raised by opponents. Proposition 36 would initiate the largest program of its kind in the nation by far. Arizona voters passed a similar measure in 1996, with the Arizona Supreme Court reporting in 1999 that 75 percent of program participants were shown to stay off drugs. �The Pride Vote 2000: The Propositions Prop: 37 Fees, Vote Requirements, Taxes By: Benjamin Wayne Pride Staff Writer • Requires a two-thirds vote of the State Legislature or local electorate in order to impose or increase a fee that imposes no regulatory obligation. • Redefines these fees as taxes. • Excludes certain real property fees, assessments and development fees. • Excludes damages and penalties or expenses recoverable from a single event (e.g., hazardous waste spills.) • Does not apply to fees enacted before July 1, 1999. Background Governments impose taxes and fees to collect revenue for public projects. Taxes are generally used to pay for public services like education or transportation. Fees are used to pay for a particular service that does not benefit the entire citizenry. Fees come in two major categories. General user fees, such as park entrance fees and garbage collec- Tuesday, October 31,2000 9 tion fees are imposed to directly pay the cost of running a public business. Regulatory fees are imposed to place rules on individuals and businesses to achieve a particular public goal, such as environmental impact fees, hazardous waste disposal fees and smog certification fees. Fees are imposed by a simple majority vote from either the state legislature of the local governing bodies. Taxes, however, require a two-thirds vote. Thus taxes are much more difficult to impose than fees. Proposition 37 would require a vast majority of fees to be approved by a two-thirds majority vote.

As a California Senator, Feinstein had many accomplishments that included being the first woman to serve on the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1994. It was during her service on the Senate Judiciary Committee that she won the most challenging battle of her career with the passage of a ban on the manufacturing, sales and possession of 19 types of military-style assault weapons. Feinstein received a B.A. in History from Stanford University in 1955 and was appointed by California Governor Pat Brown to the women's parole board in 1960 at 27 years of age. She became the Mayor of San Francisco in 1978 following the assassination of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk. As San Francisco's Mayor, she demonstrated a sense of command, managed the city's finances, balanced nine budgets in a row and was chosen "Most Effective Mayor," according to City and State Magazine. Information from www.senate.gov/~feinstein. Senate believes that Proposition 38 will undermine our state's efforts to financially and academically enhance our public schools." The CSU Board of Trustees and Student Association also oppose Prop. 38, according to a Chancellor's office report. Milwaukee mayor John Norquist has signed on as a supporter of Prop. 38 because a voucher program in his city is working very well. The Milwaukee voucher program, however, only applied to lowincome students in targeted illperforming school districts. Prop. 38 sets up a $4,000 state payments for students who already attend private schools. These payments would be phased in over a four-year period. With 650,000 students already in private schools, the only guaranteed outcome is a cost of $2.6 billion dollars to pay for their education. Additional costs or potential savings to the state are difficult to estimate, since they depend entirely on how many students opt for the vouchers. While the legislative analyst admits the number of participants is "impossible to predict," it does give some numbers based on various assumptions. First, the average cost per public schools student is placed at $7000. Therefore, each transfer to private school would result in a $3000 savings for the state. If five-percent, or 300,000 students move to private schools, the state will lose $2 billion eve?ry year. A 15-percent exodus would result in a savings of $700 million. If 1.5 million students transferred, that's 25 percent of all public school kids, California would save $3.4 billion. These numbers do not include expected administrative costs of about $10 million per year to run the voucher program. In addition to vouchers, the state legal analyst for the voter guide indicates that Prop. 38 "imposes significant new restrictions on the ability of government to adopt new laws and regulations affecting private schools." There are no minimum educational requirements for teachers in private schools. If money is any indication, the most important initiative voters will decide on is Proposition 38, the school voucher initiative. The number one supporter of Prop. 38 is the creator, Timothy Draper, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur who has spent over 18 million dollars of his own money on Prop. 38. Other proponents in the website's top ten are private investors except one—Parents for CA Future. The voucher initiative's biggest opponent is the California Teachers Association, followed y several other teacher's unions and the California Professional Firefighters. Dianne Feinstein: Democrat By: Jennifer Miller Pride Staff Writer has proposed legislation that would provide $1 billion each year in school grants to be used in construction to repair existing campuses, ending social promotion, funding remedial education and supporting merit pay for teachers. Courtesy of California Senate Web Site With the most votes cast for a Senator in American history, Dianne Feinstein was elected in 1992 and re-elected in 1994 to her first six-year term as Senator of California. Prop 37 » Con tin ue(Pfrom Pg 9 adequate learning, and it is time to give parents a choice in education. With open enrollment, magnet and charter schools, as well as home schooling as options, many would argue that public schools offer plenty of choices for parents seeking alternatives. To qualify as voucher schools, Prop. 38 requires the release of test scores to track the voucher students* progress. Furthermore, the private schools may not advocate any illegal behavior or discriminate based on race, ethnicity or nationality. Restricting admission based on other characteristics, however, such as gender, religion, and disability are allowed under the proposition, according to the state voter's guide. The state legislative analyst concluded that this ability to discriminately admit only lower-cost students may cause the proportion of students with special needs to increase in public schools, resulting in higher average per-student costs. For this and several other reasons, the CSUSM Academic Senate opposes Prop. 38.

Campbell, an ex-Stanford law professor, believes voters will find comfort in his moderate, compassionate conservative approach. "I am known as a maverick because I don't go along with the crowd," Campbell wrote in his campaign platform/Listed by Congress as a fairly moderate individual, who cares about health reform and the environment, Campbell campaigns on the same compassionate conservative philosophy as G.W. Bush. Campbell on his compassionate conservative style, states, "I believe in conservative fiscal policies and in compassionate social Tuesday, October 31,2006 11 Vote 2000: The Senatorial Candidates policies." Based on his voting record, Campbell has not deviated from his comments. According to the 1999-2000 voting record guide supplied by the U.S. Government, Campbell has voted for tax cuts, the balanced budget amendment and impeachment. The report does reveal Campbell's "maverick" character when discussing the McCain/Feingold Bill. Campbell, according to the report, was one of two Republican senators who supported the McCain/ Feingold Bill; a bill created to place harsher restrictions upon campaign fundraising. Abortion On the heated issue of abortion, Campbell reveals a truly compassionate approach, as he writes, "I have opposed any effort, whether through legislation or constitutional amendment, to eliminate the abortion rights guaranteed by Roe vs. Wade." Campbell believes the abortion issue remains a religious con- cern, not a governmental concern, yet insists, "the government provides medical help for men who are poor, Medicaid must also support funding for the medical conditions of poor women, including their right to choose." Campbell's abortion comments relate primarily to firsttrimester abortions; thus avoiding any partial-birth abortion debates. Campbell's record, however, shows he voted against a bill outlawing partial-birth abortions. Concerning the bill outlawing partial-birth abortions, Campbell writes, "when congressional legislation forbidding partial-birth abortion refused to allow for exceptional circumstances, I had no choice but to oppose it." Campbell voted "no" because he, "raised the question in debate as to why proponents of the bill, normally states' rights advocates, were advocating a federal law to pre-empt different states' reaching their own resolutions on this difficult issue." plans on putting a few initiatives programs and increase the number of required subjects in high into effect. school.

By: Steve Kerrin Pride Staff Writer Openly hostile to both the political left and right, the Popular Sentiment Party refuses to take a defined stance in national politics. Party Chair, Betty Lou Rawten-Krotch, states, "We usually take the most popular stance on tough issues. That way, in theory, we'll always win the elections." When asked why her party has never even held a seat in a local government, RawtenKrotch replied, "Damned if I know. It works for everyone else." The biggest obstacle facing the Popular Sentiment Party is that it has yet to be acknowledged by the media as more than a collective of disgruntled, boozed-up, would-be politicians. A Democratic senator who spoke on condition of anonymity stated, "They're just another cult, only with politics instead of religion. They're really just a bunch of whackos." Most Republicans and Democrats share her sentiments. Most often cited as the source of this derisive attitude is the party's Thursday, October 26, St. John radical agenda, which includes: would only comment on two of the above issues.

The opinion article in the October l ? h edition of the Pride, "How safe is our campus?" requires clarification. Student Health Services' role in on-campus student injuries is not correctly understood by the writer, and the comments may mislead readers/Unfortunately, due to the laws that govern confidentiality, I cannot respond to the specific incident that was discussed. I can, however, provide a better understanding of the role Student Health Services plays for CSUSM students. Student Health Services is comprised of 8 professionals, all hired because of their expertise, training and commitment to collegiate student health. The CSU provides direction to all campus student health centers through Trustee Executive Order 637. This executive order directs centers to provide only basic health services to the best of our ability and in accordance with standard medical practices. Our services are limited in scope by the facility, equipment, and available resources. For instance, there is no on-site x-ray department, laboratory, or emergency room. Subsequently, students wlxqhavg health needs that warrant this type of resource are referred to other community health agencies. On a daily basis students are served with these limitations edge of the great philosophers of the past (read: dead white men). I've been clapping and singing songs of Africa, learning about the structure of DNA, contributing to group discussions about "our racial world view" and finally, writing papers using different forms of discourse: This is all not to mention interviewing for Orientation Team, attending writing workshops, and making frequent trips to the library. That's just what goes on while I'm physically at campus. In reality, everything I do revolves around my goal to teach. I coach volleyball part time and substitute in the school district to gain experience. I wake up and go either to school or to work all day. Throw in my religious responsibilities and family, and I find myself scrambling for time to pursue personal enrichment and keep up with current events. So what gets pushed aside?

SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITORS TO in mind. If more specialized care is indicated, students are encouraged to seek those services at other community facilities Because our services are limited, it is in the best health interest of the student for us to make such referrals. We are unable to provide care for more serious injuries or conditions. In fact, it would ethically conflict with our mission of providing quality health care if we were to attempt to meet student needs without the appropriate resources. The professionals at Student Health Services recognize that money is an issue for many students. Because they have limited or no extra medical insurance, students may make decisions about additional care based on finances rather than need. There is an insurance plan available to students that covers major medical expenses. Information on this plan is available in the Associated Students, Inc. office, located at Commons 203, and at Student Health Services. We at Student Health Services are committed to your good health. If you have a health problem, the SHS is the best and the most affordable place to access basic care. Remember, there is no visit fee for regular visits at SHS.

Am I getting so caught up in the monotonies of school that I have lost sight of the bigger picture? I enjoy going to school and I love all my classes, but will it ever end? Do we ever get a chance to remove the blinders? Maybe our professors can help us out a little. I remember a high school teacher who discussed current events for about five minutes at the beginning of class. I know we're not in high school anymore, but five minutes, that's not so hard. When I'm stuck in a classroom, I don't have a choice but to listen. Does anyone else feel this way, or am I alone? Regardless, I am vowing to get my butt off the psychoanalyst's couch and make a conscious effort to keep up to date on current events. Maybe in the process I'll feel more inclined to address the editor.

J " : ^ J J In 1960 The California State Legislature passed the Master Plan for Higher Education, which promised, among other things, " a space for every undergraduate student would be available; no tuition would be charged California residents; and students should be charged low fees, only for ' auxiliary services'." There is really no need, in a student newspaper, to observe that these goals have not been met. The question that arises is why this vision has not been realized and what, if any, budget priorities have taken precedent over higher education. An article from the Justice Policy Institute, entitled "From Classrooms to Cell Blocks: How Prison Building Affects Higher Education and African American Enrollment in California October 1996," provides a disturbing answer and some interesting and pertinent data.

Confining large numbers of citizens serves perhaps an even darker purpose. In Brazil and Colombia, death squads summarily kill individuals who through poverty, mental illness, or drug addiction have become unable to function adequately in society. The prison industry has developed a somewhat less draconian and more economically expedient method of dealing with such people. The poor, the mentally ill, and drug addicts are warehoused in prisons where they serve as a source of revenue for correctional employees and contractors. Providing such individuals with treatment and employment opportunities would eliminate a lucrative income for many powerful interests.

(Why people would go on a tour led by a former mental patient is beyond me). Jeff takes the five people into the woods to see the place where the original Blair Witch Project was filmed and where the tapes were found. Whatever it is the group is trying to do is, again, beyond me. They are out in the woods where they drink and smoke and are merry, until they wake up. When the group wakes up, they find their camera gear is broken and their records are destroyed. Everything is gone except the tapes, conveniently placed in the same location as the original Blair Witch Project tapes were discovered. The group goes back to the mental patient's home (an abandoned warehouse with lots of stolen goods) to examine the tapes. T-shirts, sweatshirts, cups, rocks, and even sticks are many of the items that Jeff sells to his tourists. They find some very disturbing things on the tapes, to say the least. While they're reviewing the tapes, Tristen and Stephen hear voices and hallucinate. They all seem to be going out of their minds. Is it the work of the BlairWitch? Book of Shadows, Blair Witch 2 is directed by Joe Berlinger, who has succeeded in doing one thing, adding another reel to the pile of crap that Hollywood has put out this year. Blair Witch 2 Do Not Go Back Into the Woods By: J. Ryan Sandahl Pride Staff Writer Whoever said, "sequels suck" was correct. A sequel is rarely better than the original and the newest film release, Blair Witch 2, is no exception. The film opens with various news clips about the success of the BlairWitch Project. Tourists have flocked to Burketsville, Maryland, in search of the Blair Witch and to see the location where the film was shot. The sheriff is seen shouting over a loud speaker, "There is no #@*&$*% Blair .Witch! Get out of these woods!" He is absolutely right. Forget all the preconceived notions you may have about this film. There is no book of shadows, there is no Blair Witch, there is nothing. This is exactly what this film amounts to, absolutely nothing. The basic premise of the film is about five people who go into the woods on a tour called the Blair Witch Hunt . The characters are Stephen, Tristen, Erica, Kim, and Jeff (played by Stephen Turner, Tristen Skyler, Erica Leerhsen, Kim Director, and Jeff Donovan). The tour guide, Jeff, is a young man The Pride CD Review: Radiohead's KID A ^ music.

By: Adam Bailey Pride Staff Writer The Ladies Man The Contender: Comes to the Big Screen By: Victoria B. Segall Pride Editor ' * "His approach is straightforward, it's honest," comments Tim Meadows about his most recent character, Leon Phelps, The Ladies Man. With the success of past films like Wayne's World and A Night at the Roxbury inspired by Saturday Night Live characters, The Ladies Man is SNL creator Lorne Michael's most recent production. In The Ladies Man, Tim Meadows plays Leon Phelps, a deejay on late night radio talk show. Phelps is charming and goodhearted, but a Casanova. Leon's countless affairs get him into trouble when a group of angry husbands, calling themselves the VSA (Victims of the Smiling A**, named after a tattoo found on Leon's right buttock), seek revenge. The Tim Meadows plays Leon Phelps VSA is led by Lance (played in The Ladies Man. by Will Ferrell of SNL) whose Photo courtesy of www.imdb.com. wife, Honey DeLune (played Tiffani Thiessen of Saved By Leon's sweet and innocent cothe Bell), is one of Leon's many worker Julie), and, Billy Dee Williams who plays* Lester the mistresses. The cast also includes Bartender and who serves as Karyn Parsons (who plays the film's narrator and voice of reason. With the film's bedroom scenes and Leon's on-air radio dirty talk, Leon Phelps is vulgar in this film, just as he is in his infamous SNL sketches. This movie also consists of dumb humor, and if you aren't a fan of SNL or The Ladies Man character, then this film is definitely not for you. On the other hand, those of you who are fans may enjoy the film. The Ladies Man can be categorized as a gross film, but never dull. With clieesy musical numbers—yes musical numbers—and surprise cameos, the audience is kept in suspense as to what to expect next. Meadows, (who co-wrote the screenplay), has some funny lines, however the end of the film is weak and predictable. The funk and soul-filled soundtrack is excellent; featured tracks include A1 Green's Let's Stay Together, the Isley Brothers' That Lady, and other tracks from artists such as Roberta Flacky Johnny Gill and Chaka Khan. The Ladies Man is rated-R and is now playing in theatres. A weii-Timed Political Thriller By: J. Ryan Sandahl Pride Staff Writer nominated. What does Runyon do?

Medeski Martin a nd Wood's "The Dropper" a Must Buy By: Benjamin Wayne Pride Staff Writer Frank Zappa is reported to have once said that Mike Keneally (a fellow guitar virtuoso) "was the best new guy he ever had in the band." Being an admirer of all things Zappa (especially Moon Unit), I jumped at the opportunity to listen to Keneally's latest CD. The CD titled "Dancing," released off Keneally's own label, Exowax, is a two-CD set containing 35-songs, all of which are worth checking out. Likened to Neil Young or Dave Matthews, Mike Keneally and his eight-piece band Beer for Dolphins have an awesome sound that is acoustically mellow, trancy, in your face electric and raw. The first disc contains studio versions of "Live in Japan" and "Ankle Bracelet" (tracks one and two), which are all being pushed on local radio. I wasn't a big fan of either of those songs, but luckily enough the album took a turn and the next 18 songs were offthe-hook. My favorite song on the first disc is track 5, "We'll Be Right Back," which through its acoustic Tuesday, October 31,2000 1 5 Guitar virtuoso Mike Keneally and his band, Beer for Dolphins, released their newest CD entitled "Dancing:" Photo by Mike Martin. ~ rhythm and intelligent lyrics reminded me of heady music from bands like Folk Implosion and Buffalo Springfield. The second disc is 15 tracks of live and acoustic renditions of many of Keneally and Beer for Dolphins' new songs as well as bar chat and ad-lib. My favorite piece on the B-side disc has no title (to my knowledge) but I will refer to it as "The Bee Sting Song." It's a funny little ditty that made me laugh and reminded me of tracks from performers like Beck (preMellow Gold) and Basehead. All in all, this CD is a must buy. Don't burn it from a friend because Mike is a local guy and you wouldn't want to see him begging for change at Beacons because you were too cheap to fork out 13 bones for the cause.

At 8:30 a.m. last Thursday, 33 students from Universidad Autonoma de Baja California arrived on a bus from Tijuana. Enthusiastic CSUSM students welcomed the visiting students and led them to selected classes to attend. After attending two classes, UABC students gathered with CSUSM students for lunch outside of the library on the secondfloorpatio. On the patio, students talked with each other over roast beef, ham, and turkey sandwiches, cookies, potato chips and Arizona iced tea. President Karen Haynes welcomed UABC students in Spanish and then proceeded in English, explaining the importance of the connection between our two universities.

Professor Gilbert Valadez is leading the organization of this event Five years ago, Valadez was diagnosed with AIDS, and he believes that the pandemic deserves more attention. His growing awareness led him to organize the first World Aids Day observation at CSUSM.

In my time on this campus I have met some very knowledgeable people when it comes to sports. As much as I may think I know, these guys have taught me something new at one point or another. You may remember some of these names if you read "Jock Talk" on a regular basis, but I finally found a way to introduce you to some of the other people on this campus who are involved in the sports world. -Josh Sandoval Mavericks over Suns (Defense plus Dirk equals Domination) Nets over Bulls (Kidd, Carter, Jefferson plus great draft) Nets over Mavericks (Nets make up-tempo popular again) Rockets (Yao I McGrady experiment still doesn't work) Hornets (Finish above.500 and make playoffs) Kobe Bryant (Lakers) (Should've got it last season) Lawrence Frank (Nets) (Title sinks this award) Adam Morrison (Bobcats) (Plenty of minutes in Charlotte) Suns over Clippers (Stoudemire gets them over hump) Pistons over Bulls (Team chemistry pays off) Suns over Pistons (Suns outshine Pistons) Heat (Complacent Shaq wont hold up) Rockets (Two words: Bonzi Wells) Tracy McGrady (Rockets) (Bounces "back" from injuries) Scott Skiles (Bulls) (They'll win 55 plus) R andy F oye (Timberwolves) (Dwayne W adeesque player) S uns over R ockets (Stoudemire's B ack!)

Fernando Brown Fernando Brown's name.is reo&gmzable from the sports articles that appear in this paper. Before Fernando joined the newspaper I could count on one hand the number of articles written about CSUSM athletics. Paul Baimbridge Paul Baimbridge is a name you might recognize from the article I wrote about the Padres' ninth inning collapse against the Dodgers. You will get to know his name even more next semester, since he will be the baseball and Softball beat writer next semester. Mike Millburn Mike Millburn is someone you may know if you listen to "XX Sports Radio" on 1090AM or watch "The Prep Pigskin Report" on KUSI. He is the guy on the radio that the broadcasters refer to as "Head", because of the big melon in between his shoulders. He works as a board operator and producer for those two companies. Kyle Trembley Kyle Trembley is a well of information regarding campus athletics. He is the guy who makes Fernando and I look smart in articles about campus sports, because if we have a question we go to Kyle. Along with being the Sports Information Director for CSUSM, you may have seen his sports briefs in the paper. �Halloween around the world BY SABRINA BAGLEY Pride Staff Writer spirits of one's ancestors return to visit their mortal relatives.

These Buddhist holiday. It is believed, days of crafts, cooking, and flowthat each year during Obon, the ers hold great meaning for many Hispanic families. The Ching Ming observance had its beginnings as the original religion in China. Ancestor worship is the only native religion to China. All others* including Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, were imported from outside of China. Confucianism and Taoism originated in China but are philosophies rather than religions. This remnant of ancestor worship is celebrated with the maintenance of tombs the offering of food and other essentials, and displays of respect. Sometimes, a family will set off firecrackers to ward off evil spirits. Walpurgis Night, celebrated in Germany, Sweden, and the Czech Republic, is a night of warding off witches. In Germany, whips are cracked and horns are blared. In Sweden, bonfifes are added to the noise. In the Czech Republic, people spread grass or sand on the doorstep in the belief that witches can not enter a house before counting the blades of grass or grains of sand. Celebrated on April 30, this day is an old pagan festival, which borrows its name from Saint Walburga. The most common association of Halloween is with Pagan celebrations. According to Pagan expert, Eva Snyder, "Halloween Photo by David Bauer / The Pride is magical. It is the time when the veil separating the realms of the living and the dead is thinnest, permitting contact between the two worlds," she says. "The lines between past, present and future are also blurred, allowing the impossible to happen." These pagan celebrations are often misconstrued and falsely have negative and dangerous connotations. American celebrations of Halloween have little to do with ancestor worship. Rather, costumes and candy abound, and trick-or-treating is enjoyed by children. Jack-o-lanterns, also a Halloween staple, have quite the interesting history. The Jack-olantern custom probably comes from Irish folklore. As the tale is told, a man named Jack, who was notorious as a drunkard and trickster, tricked Satan into climbing a tree. Jack then carved an image of a cross in the tree's trunk, trapping the devil up the tree. Jack made a deal with the devil that, if he would never tempt him again, he would promise to let him down the tree. According to the folk tale, after Jack died, he was denied entrance to Heaven because of his evil ways, but he was also denied access to Hell because he had tricked the devil. Instead, the devil gave him a single ember to light his way through the frigid darkness. The ember was placed inside a hollowed-out turnip to keep it glowing longer.

From asking the students it seems to be a pirate or a ninja. A representative from CC & CO Costume Shop, a shop that has been in business for the past 21 years in Temecula, says that the most popular costumes this year are pirates for couples; nurses and cops for females, and that most guys were dressing as part of a couple, or just came i n, to get a mask. If this is true, then what does it say about us? I asked some students how they feel about people flaunting their sex appeal on Halloween with racy outfits for girls and pimp costumes for the guys; and there were two common answers. One was that it's an excuse to dress in ways one normally wouldn't in hopes of attracting attention from other people. The other idea was that it's just Halloween, and costume choices are not taken seriously by people. Halloween is meant to be a fun time with or without parties; so are we being too analytical? or are people really going overboard with sex appeal for the holiday? Either way, it's a time to dress up as something one isn't and fool others around you. It's a time to enjoy the weekend or the night and have no worries but the cavities one might wake up with the morning after. Website of the week: homestarrunner.com BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer Homestarrunner.com was once a humble site made by two brothers for the entertainment of the un-entertained. Each week there would be one or more new cartoons on the site. It didn't have much fame five or so years ago, but the true fans knew what it was and know what it is today. Brothers Matt and Mike Chaps created the website and all of its animations and games, with Matt in charge of the art and programming and Mike performing all of the voices of the characters (except for the voice of the site's one female, which is performed by his Wife Melissa Palmer). The finances of running the Homestar Runner website and its webbased store had been handled by their father, Don, until he passed away earlier this year. Today the site is booming with new characters and new things to do. For all the original fans that know of this site, all the old cartoons and shorts and such can all be found in the museum section. There are cartoons featuring the slow witted, lisping, Homestar Runner—the website's main character. Other characters also recur in cartoons on the site such as the ridiculously pompous, luchador-mask-wearing, Strong- bad and his tiny yellow accomplice, The Cheat, who Strongbad describes at one point as looking "like some kind of cheese... or anvil," and who only communicates through mumbles and squeaks. The cartoons are centered on the characters' adventures and interactions. There are also games, and videos starring puppet versions of the characters and other features as well. One popular feature is that viewers can send emails to be answered by the character Strongbad in a cartoon, which usually consists of several minutes of Strongbad humorously criticizing everything about the email and its a plush The Cheat that squeaks author.

Residing in whaf have inevitably become overdeveloped condominiums and commercialized residences, what is now San Elijo Hills, was once a spiritual and even haunted area dubbed "Questhaven." No doubt many San Diego residents have unknowingly driven through Questhaven as it's a surefire shortcut to Escondido that spits travelers out from Rancho Santa Fe Road to Auto Parkway in less than four minutes. The short drive through Harmony Grove and Elfin Forest not only feels like something out of "The Twilight Zone," but it also feels like a mindless time warn.^ . Rumored to once be inhabited by Gypsies and their social kin at the turn of the 19th century and welp into to the 20th century, legend has it that when other natives of the land and cjdzens of local communities came in and drove off the Gypsies, slaughter- ing those who stood in their way, the Gypsies cursed the land of Elfin Forest. Perhaps this curse was the impetus f or many of the . urban legends that have accumulated throughout the years. Coincidentally, there are also accounts of Northern Diegueno Indians inhabiting the land more than 9,Q00 years, using it as a sacred space for burials and-peace offerings. With curvy roads* creepy trees growling over the paths, and eerie sights" and sounds, Questhaven embodies many fears that seep into the holes of the collective subconscious, lending to the idea that this; place generates a supernatural power that tests ther nerves and wills of innocent visitors. With no cell phone reception, or friendly places to look to with pleas for help, if rumors hold true* the horrors o£Questhaven sound overwhelming for any one person to face alone. A few locations that are glor rjfied tin the tales of Questhaven are the stòrie s*of thè abandoned i insane asylum and the legendary cult house. With gates anà barbed wire lining the property, an old wooden fence sign deCojates the entrance to the ruins pf the rumored insane asylum with sleeping elves shyly painted on Back road leading through Questhaven and surrouriding area. The Elfin Forest sign located above the gate into Questhaven. it, reading "Elfin Forest." Behind the torn and defiled fence lays acres ofland and building foundations left in shambles; Defended by? armies of nocturnal spirits and savage animals, the danger of trekking across the depths of Questhaven sounds high from the word of mouth reported accounts ef paranormal activity. As for, the cult house, well, there' are' many mock "Blair Witch" films that high schoolers and amateur filmmakers Have endeavored to n ^ e ^ g n , the Questionable cult pfoperty. Most of which describe scenes of nooses hanging from burned trees, broken bones and skulls crushed into the mulch and brush, unearthly cackles and noises flying around in the night air—the rumors have even fabled that when said filmmakers go back to review their footage that there is just black static that fills the screen and curdling screams that sound off in the distance. Furthermore, what would Questhaven be if there weren't spinetingling urban myths attached to fend off the faint of heart? When researching Questhaven, there are a few prevalent myths, as well as others that rise to the top. The first tells a tale of a ten-foot white owl that roams the midnight and * moon-laden sky above the spooky trees. The make informed, he confident cholci 7 60 .744.13 ghostly owl sneaks .about preying on naive young people who enter the forest. If the visitors are in their ear, the owl lands atop of the car and possesses several ways of murdering the vehicle's passengers. If the visitors are on foot, it swoops down to capture them and sacrifices them. There are other stories about the owl; however, many do hot speak of the owl iri fear of repercussion. The second myth tells of a witch that haunts Elfin Forest. Stories of the witch solicit extreme caution should one choose to enter the forest, for hers is the deadliest and scariest of stories. The witch has been in the forest since the persecution of the Gypsies. She rides the roads of the forest on a ghost black stallion. With a black cloak the covers her face and body, the night-riding ghost horse and witch have omnipotent vision and senses and can feel when a stranger or intruder has entered the forest. It is said that once one enters the forest and Questhaven, that then the witch marks that person, leaving no physical indication, but more of a spiritual mark on that person so that if that person were to ever enter the forest again, that they would then be killed instantly by the witch. Those who have experienced this tell tales of hearing no hoof prints or galloping stallion, no; that the witch and her mountfloatalong in the shadows. Never in clear sight, her victims will never really know what they see when .they, witness her. It is also rumored that by chance if victims do see her eyes, as they pierce a ray of green light, that they are immediately killed.

Upon further investigation, it has been found that there is a religious retreat center, called the "Questhaven Retreat, Church of the Holy Quest," that sits on 640 acres of wilderness. Some speculate that it is this retreat center, which was erected in the early 1940s that is mistaken for the insane asylum and the cult house. However, there are no official records that haves been found linking that theory, or linking the legends to the retreat center. As there is no record of any insane asylum existing in Elfin Forest, Harmony Grove, or Questhaven, rumors apparently hold more weight in the chance of experiencing supernatural activity. For now, Questhaven truly remains a mystery, as the stories and sensations that haunt it continue to be aggravated by the growing population of inhabitants. One thing remains certain though, no one will ever really know what lies beneath Questhaven or lurks in the shadows in Elfin Forest. MI^nädS 277 S.

The ghost punches, the throwing of a fight so we can have De La Hoya vs. Mosley 2.1 think the fans of professional boxing are tired of fixed fights or two guys dancing around each other because both of them are afraid to throw a punch. The fighters of professional boxing are afraid to hurt the product: their face.

The event took place on Thursday, October 26, in the Clarke Field House in the Grand Salon. Approximately 70 people attended the reading according to Mark Wallace, an assistant professor of Literature and Writing Studies here at CSUSM. Dinh has traveled all over the globe, and the knowledge of other cultures appears in his writing style. He has written two collections of stories, three books of poems, and a series of anthologies. He is currently working on a novel. Dinh chose to read from "Borderless Bodies," "American Tatts," and "Blood and Soap." "Mark managed to place an article about the reading in the Union-Tribune. I knew, or at least hoped, that ordinary people would be coming to the reading, not just students. I decided to read poems and stories that ordinary people could relate to. I'm not an academic person but a blue collar, mostly self-taught guy who writes poems," said Dinh. "Before my recent breaks, I was a regular working class dude. I spent 15 years as Drink of the Week a housepainter, and 3 years as a house and office cleaner," said Dinh. Dinh was asked to visit CSUSM because "he's one of the best poets andfictionwriters currently writing in this country," said Wallace. The readings generated much laughter amongst the guests who included CSUSM students and members of the community. I enjoyed all of Dinh's readings. I loved his witty humor and play on words. Despite the immense laughter, Dinh's readings sent quivers to my heart and waves to my brain. My favorite parts were "nude pictures of you sold back to you at a discount" and "working jobs that were beneath him knowing that it was punishment for leaving his family behind and the chaos that awaited him upon return." The majority of Dinh's readings were short prose poems. He also read multiple one-sentence stories. I never imagined so much content could be contained between the first capital letter of a sentence and the ending period. "[My favorite part was] his sense of humor. I didn't expect to laugh so much. I also loved his paradoxical love poems and the one sentence stories," said Lea Vergara, a Literature and Writing Studies major. "It is very hard to be a writer in this society, You will have many challenges ahead of you, but if writing is something If you are feeling like you missed out, that you must do, something that you must it's because you did.

Within recent years however, in San Diego County particularly, red ales have become increasingly popular and available. Last week we tried AleSmith's Evil Dead Red; this week we'll look at local red ale: Pizza Port's Shark Bite Red. Brewed and served at all three of Pizza Port's breweries, this delicious microbrew is also available in bottle and as a draft in some local bars. To understand what makes red ales different and unique first requires a little brewing background. After a beer has been initially brewed, it enters into a stage of fermentation. At this point, the brewer adds (or "pitches" as it's called) yeast to the brew. This yeast converts sugars present in the brew into juicy cocktail, however, I sat up and took notice. I confess to being enchanted by its name, the source of so many legends.

The various types of yeast used, and the temperature it is done at, determine whether the beer will eventually become an ale or a lager. When brewers first began making beer they could only create ale. This is because ales are brewed in warm temperatures with top-fermenting yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) over a short period of time. As refrigeration was introduced and brewers learned to work with and manipulate yeast, lagers, which are brewed for longer periods of time in colder temperatures with bottom-fermenting yeast (Saccharomyces uvarum), became the most popular beers. Red beers were created after the legalization of home brewing in 1976. Home brewers, trying new and innovative techniques, discovered that by using certain malts in the mash, they could create a beer with unique red, burgundy and amber hues. These beers, which usually contained car- amel or roasted malts, have unique colors and flavors. These brews can be used to create both ales and lagers. Due to the popularity of red beers, some breweries have begun adding red dye to some beers and claiming that they are red beers. This practice detracts from the unique taste and innovative style of real red beers, giving them a bad name. Pizza Port's Shark Bite Red, on the other hand, is an excellent example of an excellent red beer. The beer pours a burgundy red with a thin,fizzy,white head/The head generally fades fairly quickly leaving little sheets of lacing on the sides of the glass. As it pours you can also begin to smell the 9.2% alcohol by volume Content in the beer's aroma. Brewed with Centennial and Cascade hops, it smells full and hoppy, but fully balanced with lots of rich malts and a hint of citrus. It's not particularly high in carbonation, but it also doesn't have an overly flat feel tp it. This beer has a very sweet and toasty malt taste. Like most San Diego ales however, it is also deliriously hoppy with a noticeable alcohol bite. Shark Attack Red is a very fullbodied beer with a bold mouth feel. Its aftertaste is nutty, spicy and hoppy. With such strong flavors* and high alcohol content, however, it is definitely a red beer best enjoyed one or two at most in a session. �Tuesday, October 31,2006 il iX/ J^ THE PRIDE CD Review: Keep your "Eyes Open" for Snow Patro BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer ^ ^¡f* ^ It's rare when a band is able to grab a hold of your heart—onto the fragile strings of your emotional core— and rim away with it. Snow Patrol does no less, in fact, much more than that. From Ireland, 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. Probably the best cut off the new record is "Chasing Cars." With its deep message, exquisite instrumentation, and brutal yet beautiful lyrics, "Chasing Cars" hushes my soul to ease, begging me to close my eyes and just let go. An honest and introspective love song, the breathtaking insight poured into the song offers the listener a ballad that embraces the essence of drama. Photos courtesy of www.snowpatrol.com Having spent the past two years on the road, traveling the globe amidst the splash of "Run," their prior anthem off the 2004 release "Final Straw," Snow Patrol spent much of 2005 recording "Eyes Open" along the Irish coastline. In a studio that allowed the members of Snow Patrol to awaken to waves crashing at the foot of the cliffs below them, Snow Patrol slowly breathed life into "Eyes Open," capturing the sensory effects of living on the edge of a cliff. Theater Review: BY BRANDI BLAHNIK Pride Staff Writer Admittedly, I found the disclaimer for the CSUSM Visual and Performing Arts Department's new production, "Wonder of the World," intriguing. A play at CSUSM with mature language and adult themes? Let me assure you it is not a caution, but a promise. David Lindsay-Abaire's sometimes odd, sometimes touching writing propels this work to its climax with laughs to spare. This two-hour play directed by Katie Rodda is a delight and, with plenty of genuine, my-tummyhurts laughs along the way, will leave you wondering where the time went. The story begins with the captivating scene of a woman packing. Cass, played by Jessica Swan, is leaving her life behind for a chance at a more exciting one. When her ( A|r^|fcissi|iger) |feoi|es marriage troubles surface and we^re ^brtoelled ita | oy^\y|(|ass thrfrugh^hdr jotlrney. Along her voyage, Cass meets—scratch that—barges her "Make This Go On Forever" is my next favorite track. The tempo of "Make This Go On Forever" paces and then drops off with a lone piano pounding away in the background, creating a feeling of a grandeur, sounding like the beginning of what could build into a one-song record. Gary Lightbody, vocalist and song-crafter for the five-piece band, empties so much grief into this song through his voice. lt is truly moving. "Set the Fire to the Third Bar" projects a slight Sigur Ros feeling within the vocals and ambient textures, but the building of the duet between Lightbody and Martha Wainwright is classic Snow Patrol: soft and piercing. . I am also very partial to the album's closer, "The Finish Line." Wrapping up the ten tracks with echoing Celtic vocals lingering above the breathy pauses, the vocals and song construction sound much more natural for Lightbody than some of the other tracks do, showcasing a more culturally native side of Snow Patrol that isn't as prevalent in other releases. A song that feels patriotic in the sense that it's patriotic to Snow Patrol, "The Finish Line" contains crisp lyrics and layers upon layers of textured sound effects. A fitting end to a solid effort put forth by Snow Patrol, the album as a whole, "Eyes Open," will surely open your eyes to both a new and inspiring side of Snow Patrol, as well as the old and soothing side of Snow Patrol that many have grown to admire. Wonder of the World way into the lives of strangers she comes across. She meets fellowtraveler, alcoholic, and sidekick, Lois (Bridget Henwood), curious couple Glen (Omar Yanez) and Karla (Celeste Dawn Beattie), the charming Captain Mike (Patrick Wenk-Wolff); and the strange, oddly-familiar marriage therapist, Janie (Arielle Rosenbaum). This funny, chaotic tale is driven by strong performances. Jessica Swan is wonderful in her naïve and alarmingly forward role as Cass. Whether its exclaiming to sidekick Lois, "Let's be lesbians!" or informing thè captain of her boat tour that she would like to have sex with him that evening, Swan's straightforward delivery lends credibility to Cass and punch to the laughs. Half the fun, though, is watching other characters react to Ker. Henwood, Kissinger, and Wenk-Wolff also provide stand-out performances as the characters thai drive Cass to Photo by Brandi Blahnik / The Pride action and question her "weird" qualities. When we finally find the many characters of "Wonder of the World'* together in a room, the result is a dynamic explosion of personalities which can only be managed with, that's right, an episode of "The Newlyweds" game show. Without saying too much, rest assured this play will force you to look a t Barbie heads in a disturbingly new way. Writer Ljndsay-Abaire weaves the stories of his characters together, leaving us to ponder the role of fate in our lives. Each character touches the life of the next without seeming to know it. It's unclear whether the "wonder" he speaks of is as tangible as Niagra Falls, or rather an idea about coincidences and their effects on our lives. Though there are plenty of laughs, the subtext of the play asks the more serious question of how we make decisions or, let then* be dictated for l^^ll f / * "Woi^ei^oMie W6rld" tfecSledly receives 5 paws and is well wortlf the $5 student ticket price.

The program recently received a $1.1 million federal grant from the Department of Education. The grant, which makes up 95 percent of Upward Bound's budget, funds the program for another five years (1995-2000). An orientation for current participants and students interested in the program was held Sept 30. The grant proposal was among the top two percent in the country, receiving 114.7 points out of a possible 115. Because of the high score, it serves as a model program. T he grant reflects the quality of CSUSM's Upward Bound program and the university's ability to compete nationally for federal funds. It also demonstrates CSUSM's commitment to sharing education with all people of the North County community,'' said Dr. Bill Stacy, university president Upward Bound is part of the TRIO programs which were designed by Congress in the 1960s to provide access to a college education for low-income, firstgeneration college-bound and college-going students. "CSUSM's Upward Bound is an excellent example of the results these programs produce. The proof is in the graduation rates of our students," said Calvin One Deer Gavin, director of the university'sTRIO programs. "Upward Bound serves 8 local high schools. There have been 15 local area graduates, all have now gone on to college." The program began three years ago. Joy Moore, a graduate of Rancho Buena Vista High School and Upward Bound, now attends CSUSM. "Upward Bound provided me with the opportunity to make a solid connection with campus life and personal skills to achieve excellence as a better communicator with all people," she explained. Through its training, tutoring and counseling, Upward Bound helps students who otherwise would probably not consider pursuing a college education, prepare for university study. Upward Bound offers tutoring, collegefieldtrips, cultural activities, multicultural understanding, personal and family counseling, supplemental instruction, peer mentoring, college classes, lead- Dan Nadir/Pride File Photo Calvin One Deer Gavin, director of Cal State San Marcos TRIO programs, speaks to a crowd in the Dome last fall. ership conferences and more. Through the many academic and personal experiences,fromninth grade to 12th grade, Upward Bound helps studentsfinddirection, focus on academics in high school, and ultimately graduate from college. Upward Bound program serves 50 high school students from eight North County high schools: Rancho Buena Vista; Oceanside; El Camino; Fallbrook; Escondido; San Pasqual; Orange Glen; and, San Marcos. The program is now in the process of recruiting new participants. Students must be from one of the eight high schools served by the program and in either the ninth or 10th grade.

Either of these proposals passing would be grim tidings for CSUSM where a large amount of students recieve pel grants and direct loans. Furthermore, direct loans replaced lender loans exclusively for the first time this year. It would cause afair amount of administrative hasssle to switch back. "We'd go back only if we were forced to," said Hatten. The Associated Students has been busy getting petitions signed for congressmen Randy Cunningham (R-San Diego) and Ron Packard (R-Oceanside) urging them to "support continued funding for college loan and stu- dent aid programs (i.e. Federal student aid) ." Roughly 75 people called their congressmen on Sept. 12-13, according to AS President Charles Ragland. "We'd like to see more grant money not loans," said Ragland. Federal financial aid threatened by Congressional ax By Tony Barton News Editor Students may be seing a change in the way their federal financial aid is handled if measures being prepared by Congress are instituted. Items such as student loans and grants would be among those affected in a $2.6 billion appropriations cut proposed by members of Congress. "At this point the House and the Senate have their own writeups," said Financial Aid Counselor Gerrie Hatten. aBoth are bad. The House (of representatives') is worse."

See page 5. til six months after they graduate, is one item on Congress' change list Limitations on or removal of the interest subsidies on stipend loans are being considered. The House of Representatives has also proposed a dismantling of the direct loan program, the program which serves Cal State San Marcos students. Loans would be directed back through the Federal Family Educational Loan Program (FFELP), a lender loan program which utilizes over 200 lenders and over 20 guarantee agencies. According to Hatten, this service would require some students to keep three or four contacts for the same loan. The current direct loan program is run directly through the government, requires only one contact, and is "easier to manage ." The Senate has not proposed cutting the direct plan, but has talked about cutbacks to the program. "Mywish is that those schools who wish to be in the direct loan program canbe in it," said Financial Aid Director Paul Phillips. Congress has also proposed raising the standards on students eligible for federal grant aid. Under the plan, students recieving $600 or less under a pel grant Financial Aid offers a computerized scholarship search service, called Fund Finder.

Briggs, along with Program Specialist and CSUSM student Gina Forsythe who is helping to oversee student recruitment, are trying to get students and campus clubs to participate. Their goal is to get 300-plus volunteers in on the action. While initial recruitment has been slow, "it is starting to pick up. More students are coming by and asking about involvement," Forsythe said. Each group will be placed with a community agency in the North County area, such as the Boys and Girls Clubs of Carlsbad and Escondido, the Elizabeth Hospice in Escondido and St. Vincent de Paul Village.

He described how he believed the government and pharmaceutical firms are making money off this unproven theory and treating AIDS victims with a drug that kills them faster than the disease itself. "A lot of people who have died of AIDS have actually died of AZT," he said. "It's a poison," originally developed as a chemotherapy treatment for cancer. a AZT kills all the cells it gets into eventually." While he disagrees with the established view of how AIDS develops, Mullis said he has his own theory. "Everybody's met one or two people who died of AIDS," he continued, "but they each died differently. In fact, the 'thing' AIDS isn't a 'thing* at all. I f s a whole lot of people sick at the same time with different things." Mullis described a kind of "viral overload," where people infected with AIDS have acquired it because of an overexposure to too many otherwise harmless viruses all at the same time. Individually, these viruses are not harmful to the immune system, but collectively they cause its degradation. HIV is just one of these many viruses, he said. "What happens when you get 10,000 times the exposure to viruses totally harmless by themselves, all at the same time?" he asked. "The immune system would start to do funny tilings. And to kill people with the use of a drug that does little and kills people, i f s criminal." He added that the conventional development of an AIDS vaccine will not work based on this theory. Despite his disagreement with currently-accepted theory, Mullis said he was open to it provided he sees the scientific proof. "If somebody came out with a study that said HIV causes AIDS I would say 'good,' because I'm tired of this." Mullis moved his presentation from the realm of the inner body to outer space. He talked about an alleged cover-up on the part of NASA and the government to hide the facts about monuments on Mars. "What was our space program developed for?Tocollect rocks?" he asked the audience. He explained how, in 1978, NASA's Voyager snapped photos of what appeared to be a face and several nearby structures on the planet's surface at the region called Cydonia. While the press at that time was told that subsequent photographs six hours later showed nothing there, he explained, NASA never took such photographs because the Martian night had set in. Three-dimensional computer enhancement of the known photographs shows that there is indeed a face, he said, "Like Mt. Rushmore but better art" Fifteen years later, when NASA planned to take photos of the same region, he said, the cameras on board the space craft conveniently malfunctioned. Mullis said that the discovery of thefaceand other structures such as pyramids are exactly what we want the space program to find, explaining the ridiculousness of sending a small land-based machine to look for ATP when right beside it is a pyramid and a face. He told the audience that the Internet is a blessing because information is so accessible about issues such as this. "Those pictures, fortunately, due to the internet, are noteasy to suppress," Mullis said. After his main lecture, Mullis answered questionsfromthe audience. Continuing on the theme of government eover-ups of alien life, one audience member asked Mullis if he believed there was a cover:up with regard to the topsecret "Area 51" military base in Nevada, which some claim houses alien bodies and space craft. "They say they're alien bodies stored out there. I think Jimmy Hoffa's out there," he responded. Another audience member asked Mullis to talk about his experimentation with LSD. Mullis told the audience that, while it improved his thought processes and opened his mind to new ways of thinking, the drug is not for everyone. "For some i fs good. For some i f s bad," he said. "Butto not know about it and find out about it is stupid." Mullis noted that although LSD was legitimately tested by scientists for its good purposes, "It was a typical response by human nature to (suppress) something new and unknown," thus leading to its being made illegal. Campus dignitaries and the press were invited to a personal reception with Mullis after the lecture in university President Dr. Bill Stacy's conference room. Fall semester marks ELM deadline The deadline is approaching for students to take care of the Entry Level Mathematics (ELM) requirement, announced Cal State San Marcos Test Coordinator Susan Buck.

To say that "Southpaw Grammar" is his greatest album wouldn't be fair since Morrissey has never ever released anything less than brilliant, but "Southpaw Grammar* has a style apart from any of his past works—just as all Morrissey albums are unique. The mellow and smooth sounds of his last album, "Vauxhall And I," have been replaced with harder and more prominent guitars and percussion while the voice steps back slightly from the forefront leaving the music to take more control. The opening track, "The Teachers Are Afraid Of The Pupils," clocks in at 11:19 minutes, making it the longest Morrissey song ever released. Despite its length, however, there is not a dull second in the song. I fs a haunting tale of a teacher who lives under the strain of threats and harassment from his students and their parents, "Say the wrong words to our children and well have you/Ifs never too late to have you!" It reminds me of those court trials where school teachers were being wrongly accused of child molestation. "To be finished would be a relief" is the driving line of the song, but thankfully that is not the case for the album as we are next treated to another masterpiece, "Reader Meet Author". This song is a blast against authors who are ignorant to their readers' hardshipped working _ class lives, "And the year 2000 won't change anyone here/As each fabled promise flies so fast you'd swear it was never there/ Oh have you ever escapedfroma shipwrecked life?" The song concludes by accusing the writer of lying. The next track is the radioonly US single as well as the second UK single (releasedateSept 25) "The Boy Racer," a fanciful James Dean-esque song about a good-looking young man who speeds without getting pulled over, has too many girlfriends and thinks he's got the whole world in his hands when he stands at the urinal. Morrissey seems to be almost envious of the carefree dangerdefyinglifestyleoftheboy racer, "Have you seen him go though ohhh/Boy Racer ohhh/ We're gonna kill this pretty thing/ He's just too good looking." The next track, "The Operation," is introduced by a lengthy drum solo. The song never explains what kind of operation was performed on the patient, but the person apparently got a new demeanor Out of it, "Y6u say pleasant things when there is no need to/Everyone I know is sick to the back teeth of you." I fs not the happiest of Morrissey songs, but i f s still a lively and exciting number. The next track is "Dagenham Dave," thefirstUnited Kingdom single which itself is a must find because it boasts one of Morrissey's best b-sides to date. "Nobody Loves Us," is a moving exploration of the attitudes of Reprise Records/Photo Courtesy neglected children and how they are negatively viewed by society. The other b-side, "You Must Please Remember," is another good reason to get the import single. I fs a sad tale of being haunted by painful memories while at the same time others are opting for repression.

The chorus is just a repeat of "Dagenham Dave" over and over until the fascination with this ordinary boy hits it's final line, "I could say more, but you get the general idea."

The next song, "Best Friend On The Payroll," is about a live-in right hand assistant who's welcome has worn out, which leads us to the final track, "Southpaw." This song is the only one I didn't really like, but that was only because after the singing ended, the boring music just droned on. This album is a brilliant work of art despite i fs one minor downfall for me. I highly recommend it to anyone with taste for catchy songs with meaningful lyrics. �Clinton Think over how my balanced years.

It is important for us to be out here because the community and school can see not just TKE, but all of the Greek and other student organizations getting involved. This accentuates the growth of the school. As the school grows, the organizations should also. This event shows that that is happening."

ICC may soon have $60,000.00 to help sponsor club events for the academic year. There were at least thirty in attendance, representing over twenty clubs on campus. At ICC meetings the clubs on campus have a chance to discuss what is happening on campus, and the progress of the activities that each club is holding.Clubs may request money for any given event, but this amount is not guaranteed. The bulk of the funding allotted to clubs is to sponsor on-campus events. Club days are those days when clubs are on the quad promoting their activities. The days have been decided: they will be on October: 4th - 8th, and 18th - 22nd; November: I st - 5th, and 15th - 19th; December 6th 10th. Finals week is December 13th - 18th, and there are plans to give the student lounge a "coffee house" setting. The next ICC meeting is October 8th in University Hall, room 373 at 1:30 p.m. CSUSM Student Teachers Lead Local Science Fair By Kraig Kemp Student teachers from cohort B2 of the Multiple Subjects Credential program took part in the Richland Elementary School Science Fair in San Marcos on Thursday, September 23. Their mission was to make learning science fun as they involved children in hands-on science lessons. Several fourth and fifth grade classrooms participated in the event organized by Dr. Kathy Norman, CSUSM College of Education Professor. The lesson topics included one led by student teachers Sony a Foster and Dawn German, in which a laser light, a mirror, and a radio are used to prove that sound travels as a wave that can be captured and seen. The cohort made sure that the children were exposed to a great diversity of hands-on activities. The children expressed much joy for the event in thank-you letters and they had wanted the student teachers to come back soon.

A few weeks ago, as I was preparing to leave campus, I found out that my car battery was dead. I called Public Safety to ask them for a jump since they had done this for me last semester. The dispatcher's response was that they now charged a fee for this service. I would not have minded if the fee were $5 or $10, but I was informed that it would be $20 to $25 ! According to them this fee was due to a liability issue because car batteries had accidentally been blown up in the past. Other universities, such as UCSD, provide this and other car trouble services without charging students additional fees. One would think that amidst all of the fees included in the cost of attending CSUSM (such as the $64 parking permit), that some portion would go towards making these types of services available to students—free of charge! Needless to say, I refused to pay thisridiculousamount and found someone to help me—two hours later. It worries me to think that students, especially those attending evening classes, may encounter a similar dilemma and not have the recourses to get themselves out of the situation. We students can barely pay for our parking permit, some not at all . .. AV DEAR EDITORS: After reading the article "Brotherhood on Campus" in last week's Pride, I was a bit peeved. I realize that Victoria B. Segail was focusing on the all-male Greek social fraternities, but it would have been nice if a little bit more was said about all - the academic Greek societies (academic and social). In regard to all the community service that S AE has supposedly done the author is mistaken about the book bag holding for the campus Book Store. This activity is not community service because S AE gets paid $1,000.00 for providing this service. I won't bet my check on this, but I 'm pretty sure that SAE doesn't spend the $1,000.00 on funding the homeless but instead spends it on whatever secret s tuff— PRIDE EDITORS RESPONSE The Pride intends to feature Academic and Women's Greek organizations in future issues. Please be patient, the feature article is forthcoming. CSUS&M Cartoon Was Fallacious By Mike Spangler I saw the cartoon in the September 20th issue ofThe Pride, a ndl read the letters to the editor in its September 27th issue. I am amazed that no apology, retraction, or correction was printed, and, in this instance, I am ashamed to call myself a Pride staff writer. I cannot tolerate viewing inaccuracies published with such reckless abandon, and I feel that I must speak out in critical com-| mentary, not as a member of the staff, but as a student of this glorious campus. A student newspaper should strive to publish not only stimulating material, but factual material. The artist erroneously and humorously implied that the SM of CSUSM stands for Sado-Masochism. The artist then tried to cover up his lack of artistic talent and wit by scrawling a few words: San Marcos. This injustice must not stand uncorrected! Had someone simply listened to the echo ing voices of students in the stairwells, then, assuredly, the errors would have been avoided. C SUSM: The l ittle u niversity on the b ig h illside... With a lot of damned stairs. There is not a place an able-bodied student can park that doesn't require a 3-unit pre-requisite in step aerobics. Elevators? Do not! make me laugh. I do not need to have taken a statistics class to know that it is nearly impossible to use the elevators to get from the 1stfloorof Craven Hall to the 4th floor of Academic Hall in less than 7 hours. My heart truly goes out to the students confined to wheelchairs. Once inside an elevator, pushing a button for a specificflooris much like rolling dice—you never know what floor you'll actually stop on. This only substantiates the rumor that the designer of the cam pus elevator system is also the creator of the child's board game, Chutes and Ladders. I would like to propose that all students who must learn to negotiate the campus elevator system on a daily basis receive full credit for having satisfied the University's Critical Thinking general education requirement. Herein lies the true meaning of the SM of CSUSM: Stair Master. This also explains the See CSUS&M Page 3 , h Fatimah Cruz-Young certainly has a right to voice her opinions in the September 27 article about the Open House. However, I do wish she had taken the opportunity to talk to someone involved with the event before condemning it as a disastrous result of "poor planning". I have been Chair of the Tenth Anniversary Committee since January 1998. F orcloseto 21 months, a large committee comprised of a cross-section of the campus community (including alums and students) has been meeting to plan, design and execute a series of 10th anniversary events taking place throughout the month of September Our event calendar was set well ahead of Oceanside's Harbor Days and Escondido's Grape Days. (As an aside Harbor Days attracted one-fifth the number of participants as it usually draws due to the rainy, cold weather on that Saturday.) We were also limited in our selection of weekend days to hold the Open House by the Jewish holiday s on September 11 and 12, the Track event scheduling and other competing priorities. Also, I wonder if Ms. Cruz-Young actually stayed to hear Poncho Sanchez and his Latin Jazz Band? Certainly the crowd of300-500 people on the Forum Plaza could hardly compose the "vacant" lawn she refers to in her article. In addition to a careful, long planning period, the committee and several sub-committees distributed flyers to 25 area schools; advertised in the "Union Tribune" and "North County Times"; notified 15 other local area newspapers; aired on KPBS radio and Daniels Cablevision; promoted through the "Pennysaver", flyers throughout campus, "The Pride", the homepage, mailings of the special issue of the "Blueprints" to over 10,000 community members and alumni, as well as distributed 5000 inserts of the "Blueprints" to the student body. The committee of volunteers worked diligently and planned carefully for many long months. I would publicly like to thank them for their efforts. Indeed, it was disappointing to us all that the weather prevented so many people from joining us. Sincerely, Jane A. Lynch Executive Director, University Development PRIDE EDITORS RESPONSE Certainly The Pride joins the Tenth Anniversary Committee in its regret that the celebration was not well attended. Was it so un reasonable to blame the planning for the poor turnout? The evidence was in front of our reporter. While you suggest that students were involved, according to ASI President Waleed Delawari, at no time was the Associated Students invited to be a part of the Planning Committee. (The Pride was aware that Grape Day Festival conflicted with the Open House. We only now learn from you that Harbor Days also conflicted.) The Pride sought out the commentary of the few other students, besides Ms. CruzYoung, who had attended the final event of the evening. The response that The Pride received regarding the turnout ranged from "150 would be over-estimating." to "surely no more than 200 at the most." The Pride followed up on these student estimates with an inquiry to Public Safety's Lt. Glen, who was present at the Tenth Anniversary Celebration for the duration of the events. Lt. Glen estimated the total turnout for the event at 150-200 persons. The Pride finds no data that substantiates your estimate of 300-500. The Pride commends the Tenth Anniversary committee for extensively advertising the events. Perhaps because CSUSM is a relatively new campus, there lies much difficulty gaining recognition in the established community. This also is compounded with CSUSM's commuter school atmosphere and the challenges students face in creating a community of their own. These are just some speculations as to account for the pathetic Open House turnout. In addition, though the weather was unfortunate, other local events, such as Escondido's Grape Day Festival, enjoyed a successful turnout. This fact leaves the question of blaming an act of God (the weather), for the events' poor turnout, out of the question. The repercussions of the Tenth Anniversary Event did not end for the student population with Poncho Sanchez's last song. As a direct result of this fiasco, MEChA, the primary Mexican American Student group on campus, is forced to take a back seat at this year's Pow Wow . "We wanted to sell tostadasand nachos,but were told that all was left was popcorn and cotton candy," states Leticia Luna MEChA's president. "Taco Pablos," a Mexican restaurant who experienced huge losses at the Open House, have been semi-compensated with exclusive rights to sell Mexican food at the 1999 Pow W ow- over and above a student organization's needs to raise funds and share their culture. The Pride regrets that the wrong date for completion of the Twin Oaks bridge was printed in the title of an article in the September 27th issue of The Pride. The actual date of completion is April 2001. It was only wishful thinking on our part I suppose. Mexican & Mexican-American Undergraduates Needed!

CSU S TAIR M A S T E R SAMANTHA M . CAHILL & PAUL BLANCHARD/ The Pride CSUS&M Continued from pg. 2 University's lack of physical education classes. A four-year degree from CSU Stair Master, regardless of one's field of study, automatically certifies the graduate to be a personal trainer. This is a clever utilization of the "time on task" principal, enabling everyone to double-major. Supervisors at the Dome have confirmed, off the record, that all consumables served in the food court have been laced with extra calories to offset the increased caloric needs of the campus community. CSU Stair Master faculty should be pleased to know that an as-yet-uncirculated memorandum maintains that "Faculty may satisfy up to an additional 6 Direct Weighted Units if they agree to teach a class in a third or fourth floor classroom." The most positive side to all of these stairs, for students, faculty, and staff alike, is the backside.

Usually when one sees the words American Beauty, prize-winning perfection like the movie's promotional red rose comes to mind. But the newly released film represented little that was perfect. The Burnham family appears to be the perfect suburban family, but behind this facade lives a severely dysfunctional family with friends and neighbors just as maladjusted.

X IV NO. 6 Tenure denial sparks controversy on campus Student vouches for von Son's teaching credentials BY LILLIAN POZOS Pride Staff Writer A n open forum was held on, Sept. 28, following a MEChA meeting to discuss the alleged refusal o f tenure to a professor of the World Languages Department. Omar Yafiez and Amilcar Chavez, both students of CSUSM, were scheduled to hold a dual discussion, but Chavez was allegedly legally advised not to attend the open forum. The forum was held to discuss whether Carlos von Son, assistant professor of Spanish and Latin American Literature, was allegedly "racially discriminated" against through the alleged refusal of his tenure. Yafiez, the student in support of von Son's tenure, explained his perspective on the history of von Son. Yafiez agreed to hold the discussion if someone would balance his arguments. According to Yafiez, von Son is currently pursuing a lawsuit in the San Diego court system. In his lawsuit, von Son is allegedly accusing a female professor of sexual harassment and a male professor of unequal treatment. Many of the CSUSM faculty have been subpoenaed, denying their ability to speak about von Son, said Yafiez. Yafiez explained that the administrations refusal of tenure is allegedly based on von Son not being a good teacher according to student course evaluations, he does not have enough published works and he does not do community work. The World Language department is focused on Spanish from Spain while von Son stresses Spanish from Latin America, said Yafiez. He also said, the administration holds Spanish from Latin America lower than Spanish from Spain, contradicting von Son's teaching methods. Yafiez believes von Son shows Mexican litera^ ture and the Mexican dialect as equals of the material taught in the other Spanish classes.

Once the pizza arrived so did the crowd. Over 500 slices of complimentary pizza and drinks were handed out ASI and German Club will be sponsoring events in honor of Oktoberfest on Oct. 6 at the Kellogg Library Plaza. This will be the second year our campus has provided activities in observance of this German tradition. ASI and German Club invite students and faculty to partake in this year's Oktoberfest celebration for its recreational enjoyment and cultural significance. Festivities for the event will be held from noon until 1 p.m.. "Participants will be provided free food and beverages, and there will also be a sausage toss," said Diana Wong, ASI Director of Cultural Programming. The sausage toss will require contestants to hurl a sausage onto the top of a small cake in hopes of winning the coveted 'Weenie Award.' Other prizes include T-shirts and coupons courtesy of Wienerschnitzel. Wong also confirmed that a dance performance, provided by guests Bill and Erma Sassel, w ill be among the event's entertainment. There has been much speculation from students and some faculty about the observance of Oktoberfest on our campus regarding the tradition's nature for encouraging alcohol consumption. To uphold the spirit of Oktoberfest, Wong commented that a sufficient "root beer keg" would be present so as to abide by dry campus policy.

CSUSM out-beat 4 6 universities and colleges nationwide including prestigious ivy-league schools such as Har- vard and Yale in the ten week long waste diversion competition, accruing a 43.65 percent recycling rate o f all trash discarded on our campus. At the ceremony honoring the campus's recycling success, President Hayes accepted the 'RecycleMan' trophy on behalf of CSUSM. "Attractive, yet functional," said President Hayes about the trophy.

The woman allegedly said she was being sexually harassed by von Son but the administration dropped her case because there was not sufficient evidence. Yanez claims the administration wants to discipline him by denying him tenure. Yanez wants to know why the woman's testimony is so impor- tant to the administration now, when the case is closed. Yafiez has worked closely with von Son, producing an independent film that will be shown at a New York festival. Being a colleague of von Son's, Yafiez says he supports von Son's method of teaching but not his behavior. To explain the history of von Son's grievances, Yafiez said many female students have complained. He went on to say that many of the sexual harass- ment complaints about von Son have been mentioned on class evaluations. These are not formal complaints and are over looked, but they are written proof. "The denial of his tenure that he's not a good teacher . .. its bullshit," said Yanez. Von Son's CSUSM home page states that he has published five books including "Deconstructing Myths: Parody and Irony in Mexican Literature." It also states his many community activities including include the fifth annual Main Street Oceanside Day of the Dead Celebration on, Oct. 30. According to the CSUSM Web site, von Son accepted a tenuretrack teaching position as an Assistant Professor at CSU San Marcos in the fall of 1997.

(800) 977-7633 — �Proposition 73 threatens to revoke teen privacy I nitiative w ould mandate parental n otification of minor's abortion BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN Pride Staff Writer Proposition 73 brings controversy to the statewide ballot for the Tuesday, Nov. 8 elections pushing to amend the California Constitution requiring written notification to the parent or legal guardian of an unemancipated, pregnant minor at least 48 hours before performing an abortion on the minor. According to the Official Voter Information Guide, the initiative would mandate at least a 48-hour ertantne* Compte™ Wallow* Hope; sap Worry. Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride You can pick up a voter registration form in front of Commons 207. waiting period after the attending physician has provided parental notification before terminating the minor's pregnancy. Proposition 73 defines the context of the law with thorough definitions, the most important of which is an abortion, defined by the proposed law as causing "death of the unborn child, a child conceived but not yet born." The intent of the initiative is to provide parents or legal guardians the necessary information to help their daughters with any serious physical complications, emotional trauma or psychological side-effects that may result from the abortion. Proposition 73, which supporters advertise as a 'Parent's Right to Know and Child Protection,' is a divided and controversial issue on the ballot expected to create more of a buzz the closer the election comes. A common misconception regarding Proposition 73 is centered on whether notification equates to consent. However, parental consent is not required for the minor to have the abortion. The minor has the right to have the procedure performed or opt to seek other options available. Opponents of Proposition 73 argue that the law limits the teen's medical privacy and attempts to legally mandate family communication. Parental notification can be side-stepped. Minors do have the option to seek a court ordered waiver with convincing evidence of the teen's maturity or best interests, as determined by a juvenile court judge. The proposition also states that an abortion may be preformed without a waiting period in the event of a medical emergency, defined in the stipulations of proposed law as: necessary to prevent "serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function" of the mother as result of pregnancy. Under the conditions of the law, violation of these mandates would result in monetary damages against the physician. Intentional falsification of parental notification, by the minor, physician or third-party persons, would be considered a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $1000. California is not alone in this endeavor; more than 30 other states have approved similar propositions that have legalized parental notification laws for minors seeking an abortion. According to the Campaign for Teen Safety website, "Ed Hurlbutt, the Regional President of Right to Life of Central California said, 'Some families are so unhealthy, involving the parents would cause more problems than it would solve.'" The proposition could ultimately jeopardize the teen, and the Campaign for Teen Safety claims that supporters of the initiative fail to recognize that not all families are wholesome and receptive to the teen's right to an abortion. Rebuttal to the argument in favor of Proposition 73 states that "proponents [of Prop. 73] believe government can force teens to communicate with their parents," which is ridiculous. In contrast, A Parent's Right to Know website, challenges the ideology that nothing medically happens to a child without their parent's notification: "in California, a daughter under the age of 18 can't get an aspirin from the school nurse, get a flu shot, or have a tooth pulled without a parent knowing." Supporters are aware that the abortion measure is a potential wild card that could be a big win for conservative Republicans. College students have an interesting advantage with Proposition 73. Unemancipated minors to do have a voice to vote, but young adults may easily relate to either the benefits or flaws of this initiative regarding teen abortions.

This year will be unique with the Career Expo being a union of both the Graduate/Professional School Fair and Job Fair. "This way students can explore both future career options with employer recruiters as well as graduate and professional school options with college recruiters," said Sandra Punch, Career Center director. The combination is a winning recipe to accomplish two things at once. One hundred and sixteen recruiters are scheduled to attend the Expo, and according to Punch, "sixty-one of those attending are grad schools recruiters." The Career Center advises students to dress as if they were attending an interview; a suit would be very impressive. If a suit isn't possible, Punch suggests wearing a nice pair Student Prevention Club holds Intervention Event vention, Dr. Scott Poland and the Surgeon General of the United States, Richard Carmona.

According to a handout, students should bring: a pen, paper, and plenty of résumés printed on high quality white paper to the Expo. Students are further encouraged to leave friends and family behind, enabling attendees to give their full focus on their career goals. The handout also recommends that students display enthusiasm and interest in the organization. Be prepared to ask and answer questions, request a prospective employer's business card, and don't forget to ask if you can contact them in the future. Students should also bring a good attitude, a smile, and a strong handshake, Punch said. If students feel unprepared, Punch informed The Pride of four workshops scheduled to help ease the process. The "Job Fair Success" workshop is scheduled on two separate days with a midday and late afternoon session: Oct. 11 from noon - 1 p.m. and from 4 - 5 p.m.; Oct. 12 from noon - 1 p.m. and from 4 - 5 p.m. All workshops will be held in the Career Center, in Craven Hall 4201.

Shari could well be an authority on the subject. A Liberal Studies student with a focus on Arts and Technology, a devoted wife and a mother of two college-age sons, and an Oceanside City Council Member, she must clearly impact the lives of many throughout her community. Shari describes her Cal State San Marcos experience as "long and tough, but very rewarding." Although a politician, Shari is also very down-to-earth and highly accessible, "If you asked me in sixth grade if I aspired to be a council member," she reflected, "I would have told you 'no'. I ran for council out of necessity." One of the first items Shari placed on the agenda now establishes that the City Council plans, staff reports and back up materials be placed on the city's website 72 hours prior to meetings. cl •.. .. As of Oct. 1, the new Web site and binders now allow everyone access to Oceanside's city government. Shari is also working on improving the flow of local traffic, raising awareness on affordable housing and focusing on good jobs and sound economic growth. And, if that isn't more than enough, she is working on several coastal projects including a wetland restoration project, an access route alongside the San Luis Rey River and upgrades to other coastal amenities, including new beach access. Shari states, "I love the ocean and access to it. For years I have fought for public beach access and most recently was able to open one that had been concealed from the public for over 20 years. It's awesome to watch people use the access. Before it was open, the closest beach access point was over a mile away." Successful Student Shari Mackin truly equates success with helping others. When I asked her to describe one of her most "successful" moments, she confided, "Success is having someone remember you 20 years later for holding his hand on a field trip when he was a small child. Success is receiving a phone call on the eve of a council swearing in ceremony from an autistic student you once worked with telling you he wanted to come but had to work." were ini?, p-tounf thepersonf hafe the rmoshaßday•" I; „.„^ Freshman ÜII ^ n m f n a f J ustice M äjor~ * I e clothes," ^ ss^Mpiiy^ Freshman N atasha Howard "YdI'cpn'f want to khoWj 1®®IÌ1I1I1II . ! : Junior -v l i f e S c i e n c e M ajor ; m Bob Difldoll M arshea Wilson What is t he law?

CALIFORNIA WESTERN S CHOOL OF LAW | S an D i e g o What law school ought to be.M �Writing Center Opens Its Doors a Little Wider BY ZACHARY J. SIMON Pride Staff Writer Students who once found it difficult to get appointments with a writing tutor should be interested to know that, this semester, many-more should be available. The Pride spoke with Erin Goldwin, director of CSUSM's Writing Center about this latest change. Rest any fears or high hopes of striking writing classes from the required course list; the solution was far less drastic. "At the beginning ofthe semester," Goldwin explained, "GEW 101 students had to come to the writing center nine times, for nine half-hour sessions. The change is that they are still required to take nine tutoring sessions, but now onlyfivehave to be from the Writing Center, the other four utilize an online program called 'V-Mentor'. GEW students are still comirjg in, but significantly less than before." Despite this syllabus change, the prospective writing tutor attends the same class. LTWR 525 is attended by LTWR majors primarily, yet it is open to all students. "There's no requisite major," furthermore, Goldwin added that, "There is talk of opening another type of course for tutoring classes of other backgrounds." From its inception in 1991, the Writing Center has always been available to all. If students needing help with science and business classes ever felt edged out, it was certainly not a matter of bias, as Goldwin saw it. "With the growth in student population," 600 GEW students this semester by her estimation, "there were so many appointments that students couldn't get in. Now, there are a lot more for everybody." When asked if this was the main motiva- (Learning Assistance?) a student services tion behind the change, she was quick to department, but many campuses, includremind us that, as this is her first semes- ing Colorado state, include them as part of ter as Director, "I didn't actually make the the English department, "which was why change.

A big problem for every tutoring serwhereas here the majority are first-year." Goldwin believes the biggest differences vice is an underlying apprehension over are often dependent on where the center is whether a tutor contradicts a professor's "housed". Our Writing Center is part of instructions. "It's common for professors to misunderstand what we do." Goldwin acknowledged. "There's tension, especially in LTWR, some professors will get offended that the need for a Writing Center reflects poorly on their ability, which it doesn't at all. But that's something we've always dealt with." Mr. Sebring related to this experience entirely. "At Palomar there were both pros and cons, some professors were supportive and some preferred students not go. I'd assume they'd support it simply because it gives them additional resources." Director Goldwin was also quick to point out that "One of the philosophies behind the center is that the tutor is not an authority on the writing. The tutors are here to.. .help them find a direction. We're here to give feedback, but rarely a definite answer. A tutor should never say 'you're writing this wrong.' In the manual it specifically notes that they're not supposed to talk about grades." Even as it seems unavoidable to tempt conundrums within the service, those who felt ill-prepared for college writing would hardly be offended to know that many High Schools are establishing services of their own amid the growing number of professional centers. In Mr. Sebring's experience students often "won't realize they're having trouble until its way too late. They're in doubt of what's going on, (they don't know) that the center is here, they struggle on when they could have gotten some help."

Sometimes good things happen when you don't deserve them to happen. The San Diego Padres are a perfect example of that. The Padres have won an invitation to the MLB playoffs that start this week because they won the National League Western Division. However, when you look around the league at the teams with significantly better records who are out of the playoffs, it is easy to say that the Padres don't deserve a birth to the postseason. If the Padres were in any other division they would havefinishedin the bottom half and talks of playoffs would have disappeared in mid-July. I guess I have to stick with my original prediction of a Padres-Angels World Series since both teams are still alive. I am confident with the Angels making the World Series but the Padres are an entirely different story. The common prediction is that the Padres will be eliminated in thefirstround because they have to face the St Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals were the best team in the National League this year and they were the National League Champions last year before losing to the Red Sox in the World Series. However, I can see some rays of hope for the friars. To begin with the Padres won the season series against the Cardinals four-to-three (three-of-four in St. Louis). Also, the Cardinals are a battered team. Their all-star third baseman, Scott Rolen, is out for the playoffs. Larry Walker, their starting rightfielder, is on a day-to-day basis with his neck which means one day he could hit a couple homers, but the next day he couldn't even bend down to pick up a bat. Also, Reggie Sanders, their starting left-fielder, has been in a gigantic slump since returning from the disabled list in mid-September. With all of those injuries the Cardinals still, without a doubt, pose a threat because of two players by the name of Albert Pujols apd Jim Edmonds. Pujols is arguably the best player in the majors, but he can be contained by keeping the batters in front of him off the bases so Pujols doesn't get a chance to do more damage than he is capable. Generally, the person who bats in front of Pujols is Edmonds. Edmonds is dangerous at the plate and in the field as he is arguably the best centerfielder in baseball. The Cardinals pitching staff isn't as menacing as some people think. The Padres fare well against right-handed pitchers and the Cardinals will most likely have a three man pitching rotation of right-handed Chris Carpenter, righthanded Matt Morris, and left-handed Mark Mulder. If the Padres somehow find a way to get past St. Louis then they will face either the Atlanta Braves or the Houston Astros. I would feel much more comfortable facing the Braves since the Padres took five-of-six (two-of-three in Atlanta) during the regular season. The Padres only went three-and-four (one-of-four in Houston) against the Astros during the regular season. The Braves are an easily beatable team because they have a weak bullpen and a starting pitching staff that is really built for a long season and not a short five or seven game series. Not to mention the Braves also have a young team that relies heavily on rookies who have no playoff experience. The Astros on the other hand pose the biggest threat because of their starting pitching. The Astros boast a trifecta starting staff of Roy Oswalt, Andy Pettitte, and Roger Clemens. Those three guys could be the ace on any team in baseball and as the baseball saying goes, "pitching wins championships." However, the Astros have a weak offense and in the playoffs a team needs to score at least four-runs a game to be competitive. Ahh screw it, who am I kidding? The Padres will lose in thefirstround. But hey, at least they made the playoffs and I can't wait till next season.

If you guessed the new parking lot behind the under-construction Business building, you were right. It is General Lot H and for the 81 students who discovered it during the early weeks of the semester, it spelled freedom from arriving huffing and puffing after trekking up the hill and the stairs. You exit your car, walk about 100 yards onflatground and stroll past the designated smoking area (warning: start holding your breath as you step o ff the asphalt) and you walk right into either Science Hall (A) or Academic Hall. I noticed an anomaly this week. My "discovery" had become full even by 8:00 (I don't have classes 'til 10, but this jewel was worth getting up early) and most of the cars were faculty/staff. At the same time, the usually packed faculty lot about another 100 yards to the right of the Parking Services Building had 2 or 3 empty rows. Hmmmm, perhaps it was just a coincidence! We shouldn't begrudge the purveyors of our education a parking spot that would reduce their walk by perhaps 15 or 20 seconds. After all, they pay to park too. Then there is the issue of 33 handicapped spaces in a lot of 114. I decided I'd better go to the source to find an answer to that disproportionate figure. 1 dropped by the Parking Services office and spoke with Robert Williams, the Coordinator, who can "talk parking all day." Robert explained that one reason "H" was such a secret is that when it was reported to the "Loop" for e-mail distribution, the only way to read about it was to notice the "Click here for news about parking." Here is an abbreviated version of that report: a) Parking Lot H is temporary and Photo by Shannon Schureman / The Pride will eventually be part of a larger project to accommodate at least 1200 cars for General H parking lot located behind the new business building.

A bar on campus could help with student safely BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Special to The Pride reasons why we should have a bar at Cal State San Marcos. The first is due to the f act that C S U S M i s p rimarily a c ommuter With all the construction planned in CSUSM's future, how about building a place for students to relax after class, a place to ease the tensions of exams - a bar? Now, it's true that this suggestion appears to fly in the face of the polices toward alcohol that the campus has put forth in recent years, yet there are good college, where people come, go to class, and leave. An on-campus bar would make a great place for students to interact and get to know each other. N o matter what you may think of bars personally, for many people they are places to relax - or pick up a date - and it would be nice to have a place that students could go, have a drink, LETTER TO THE EDITOR Help yourselves! leader from SDSU expressed an On September 25, 2005 the idea that helped me cope with the CSUSM Lobby Corps assembled aforementioned "get out the vote" at San Diego State University ideas.

The second reason we should have an on-campus bar at CSUSM oddly enough has to do with many of the concerns that the campus has recently expressed over the drinking habits of the student body. Cal State San Marcos was one of a number of state campuses to receive a substantial grant in January of 2005 aimed at curbing alcohol abuse among students. With the money received from the grant CSUSM plans to identify the drinking habits of students when o ff campus and especially in the surrounding community. Although the somewhat shadowy details of this ongoing plan seem more than a bit intrusive into the outside lives of students, its ultimate goal of deterring irresponsible drinking is an important one, especially as CSUSM continues to grow. A s fascist as it may sound, Cal State San Marcos could regulate negative incidents related to drinking by having a bar on campus. Students Would not have to travel * elsewhere to drink after class, which is a What i key safety issue. A bar on campus could also limit the number of drinks a student could have and would ensure that an only twenty-one and up age group was allowed access. Students are going to drink no matter what, so you might as well have them do it where there can be actual control and regulation. The current alcohol policy at CSUSM expressly prohibits the possession or sale of alcohol on campus without prior consent from the campus President. So having a bar on campus would have to be approved by the President, yet should not be a problem if CSUSM were to look to the many colleges that actually have such establishments on campus. It is unfortunate that drinking has attracted such negativity about it when it comes to college students, and having a bar on campus is going to be controversial no matter how you present it. Yet the idea of having an on-campus bar at Cal State San Marcos is not without some merit. What do you think? schra009@csusm.edu �OPINION Who wears the pantsP Who you callin' lazy?

SABLAN Pride Staff Writer Tuesday, October 4, 2005 BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer The day is at its start and I arrive at class five minutes past scheduled commencement and my instructor, glares at me as i f to say "You lazy child. To MY class you must always be on time," to which I return a glance of my own in a silent but credible rebuttal. I seat myself and my mind starts to register as now it is ten minutes past, and a classmate leans over to ask "Are you all right? You look tired." My friend, my fatigued state is only the tip o f the iceberg that is my life. I belong to the population of students everywhere whose responsibilities consume beyond 100% of their available time. I've bit o ff more than I can chew and condemned myself to imprisonment within my busy schedule. If not punching someone's time clock to assist in brainstorming and punctuation at my day job, I'm dwindling away the evening hours answering phones and closing service tickets on my night job. If not studying the effectiveness of small group communication in the morning, I'm discussing Derrida and Marx in the afternoon, and working for The Pride at night. During the week I am a tutor, mentor, and scholar and on weekends I'm a secretary, volunteer, and daughter. Then finally when I do manage to confiscate a slice of my own free time, my boyfriend is waiting hungrily to consume it. For what do I work so hard for? Why the incessant need for struggle? Well... Because if I carry 18 units now and 18 in the spring I can graduate Because my gas needle seems to always fall on empty Because certain classes in my major aren't offered next semester Because my Jetta won't pay for itself Because the writing center needs tutors Because I went over my cellular plan's minutes last month Because certain classes in my minor aren't offered next semester either Because my GPA cannot fall below Dean's List standards Because...I made my bed and I now must lay in it. If God won't put more on us than He knows we can handle, He must think I'm Wonder Woman. Snap back to my early morning incident where I'm put on display as a slacker of a student, if only some people knew the half. Some, a very few, actually do. To these students, I salute your commitments to jobs, organizations, families, and other pass times while simultaneously keeping school a priority. To the spectators who don't know us from Adam but call us lazy and crazy, back o ff already. f C M E C T O N S : V ol X I V N o . 4 ¿ ^ l l l g ^ g t ó l t ó i m i f y o ^anizatóoiis fór s t^poif t he P atócialGuenarra' s hould r ead ' Patricia G uevarra' The Substance Abuse Advisory Council is seeking six s tudents t o survey t he alcohol serving behavior of local bars S ome s uperstars g et t rophies, o thers g et s miles.

Even though a riot was predicted, it never showed its face. As this time around the San Diego audience was a bit fickle. At the Foo Fighters, Weezer and Kaiser Chiefs concert many fans seemed indifferent towards these talented bands. Wait, I take that back. One circle pit attempted to create a following. Maybe it's because the Tuesday night concert-loving crowd was thinking about work or school in the morning but there was much to be appreciated at this show. Before I get to the bands, let me note the production crew did a phenomenal job with the lighting and stage set-up that night. The Weezer set was exceptional because everything was over the top. Lighting switched focus from the band to the audience and back again. There were even three different backdrops accentuating thé stage. One, a giant version of the cover art from the band's latest album "Make Believe," the next exemplified a starry night and last was the Weezer "W" flashing in golden lights. It was quite a change from the Kaiser Chiefs set, which didn't have much flash or pizzazz, but it did have heart. Watching them is like watching an old punk rock video, with each member jumping up and down the stage. I was excited to hear such songs as "I predict a Riot" and "Oh My God" performed. Kaiser Chiefs is comprised of singer Ricky Wilson, guitarist Andrew White, bassist Simon Rix, keyboardist Nick Baines and drummer Nick Hodgson. I was pleased with their performance. Weezer was a disappointment, with newer songs "Beverly Hills" and "We Are All on Drugs" just doesn't do it for me. They seem too shallow to be coupled with Foo Fighters. The sound quality wasn't as good as listening to their studio-produced recordings and the light show was what kept me entertained. I personally would not suggest seeing Weezer in concert. After a much anticipated wait came Dave Grohl and the rest of the Foo Fighters (guitarist Chris Shiflett, bassist Nate Mendel and drummer Taylor Hawkins). Grohl was all about audience interaction. Besides his trademark playing in the audience and jumping all over the set, he gave a shout-out to a particular fan that went on stage and exposed his balls at a previous San Diego concert. He even encouraged a repeat of the stunt. Though a fan made it on stage, he didn't listen to Grohl's instructions. The Foo Fighters were a great treat and Grohl even stated he wanted to perform more shows in our country's finest city.

He raised on- Although crime in general is down, violent crime is on the increase. Rape on university campuses has become an all too familiar statisticin the '90s. Because the Cal State San Marcos campus is relatively remote, and still in an early stage ofdevelopment, there are many areas between classrooms and parking lots that leave students vulnerable to assault. Though an admirable precaution, t he emergency callboxes placed at intervals in parking lots can only work if a victim is close enough to activate one. No such callboxes exist in the middle of the parking lots. In response to the perceived danger ofattack, many university students and staffare arming themselves with an array ofchemical defensive weapons, including tear Gas, mace, and the newest offering, OC Pepper Spray. These weapons are legal in California, but only under strict guidelines. Ignorance of these guidelines can land a person in jail. In Arizona, one can legally purchase a vast array of chemical defensive weapons in that state without a license, but bring one of those weapons into California, and i t is misdemeanor. Worse still, if one uses such a weapon on an attacker, that person is guilty of a felony. Similarly, purchasing "Halt!" — a form of OC Pepper Spray -— carried by many postal carriers, is fine if it is used to fend off a vicious dog. But if a person uses it on an attacking human, jail is a possible punishment. There is good news, however. There is a now a legal way for people to arm themselves with a chemical defensive weapon, made easier by recent California legislation. Last year, the daughter of state Assemblywomen Jackie Speier (D-19th district) was being stalked on a college campus. As a result, Speier authored legislation that streamlined the processing of licensing citizens to carry chemical defensive weapons. At the same time, cerns over how much implementing proposition 187 would cost. "We cannot turn our state over to these people (initiative supporters) who will bankrupt the hell out of us." Both Ducheny and Bareno cited the possible loss of $15 million in federal aid because of what Proposition 187 stipulates. Proponents Dr. Peter Nunez and Jesse Laguna said that Proposition 187 would save California money by preventing illegal immigrants from using public services. "Do I give the money to an illegal who wants a child and for us to pay for it?" Laguna, a member of the Border Solution Task Force, asked. "This is a game. Some people win. Some people lose." Ducheny was concerned with the place education would take if the initiative were passed. "This initiative is really overbroad," she explained. "What you're setting up is a very different job for schools, who'll have to turn in parents" to the Immigration and Naturalization Service who are found to be illegal residents. Questions about the constitutionality ofsuch atactic would /\le>wg Pe>f*gpe>ctiv<e, THEO BENSON highly effective OC (Oleoresin Capsicum) Pepper Spray was added to the list of weapons approved by the state of California. What does it take to legally carry a chemical defensive weapon? Several avenues exist, but the easiest is the "point of sale" approach. Point ofsale licensing requires a purchaser to watch a 30-minute videotape detailingthe use and regulations of chemical weapons. Also required is a test-fire of an inert version of a tear gas unit to familiarize the purchaser with the characteristics of the See SPRAY, page 3 Faculty continue Prop. 187 debate be paramount, she continued. "All we're suggesting is that at conference people bring a birth certificate or continued from page 1 immigration document when enrolling their children," replied Nunez, former United States attorney and assistant secretary of the Treasury. Dan Rankin, a CSUSM liberal studies major, also questioned Nunez and Laguna about the use of such tactics. "I have a real problem with teachers who have to turn their students in," he commented from the audience. "That part of it is a constitutional question." For m oderator Claudia Vazquez, the forum accomplished what it was set out to do. The event attracted over 100 spectators, she said. "I think we did accomplish our objective — to provide a forum to s tudents and t he community about Proposition 187," she said. "I was very proud of the students (who attended). They conducted themselves as scholars." Vazquez gave special recognition to Joann Schoenleber, vice president of the Association of Latin American Students, for her efforts in coordinating the event. What some see as an underlying debate of what Proposition 187 represents was summed up by Ducheny, who also serves as a member of the Latino Legislative Caucus and Women's Caucus. "This state is becoming more and more diverse," she said, "and that's something some people are going to have a hard time getting used to." By Claudia M. Vazquez Proposition 187 continued to be discussed only two days after a campus forum on the initiative, this time not by Cal State San Marcos students but by three campus faculty members. Professor David Avalos, Dr. Lionel Maldonado and Professor Anibal Yanez-Chavez were guest speakers in a panel for the 1994 Annual Career Development Conference Sept. 30 at the San Diego Convention Center. The panel on "Immigration: The Panic and The Promise" discussed immigration policies and its impact on the Latino community. Proposition 187 was the main focus in the lecture that offered a historical perspective on immigration of Hispanics to the United States. "Migration t hat was interrupted by E uropean powers started again, nothing will stop it," affirmed Herman Baca, a Chicano rights activist who was the fourth speaker on the panel. The discrepancy on reports and facts on illegal immigrants was questioned by Yanez-Chavez, who alleged "We don't have facts. How can we have facts and numbers when u ndocumented (immigrants) pass undetected?" "It is very important to develop coalitions and political powers beyond our own groups," said Maldonado, referring to other minority groups t hat may not understand that Proposition 187 will also affect them.

Psychology graduate program begins at CSUSM Get wealthy at university seminar How can you minimize taxes and increase your spendable income? How can you maximize your assets? These and other topics will be discussed at Cal State San Marcos' Wealth Preservation Seminar, to be held on tomorrow (Oct. 6) from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. in the University Commons, room 206. The free seminar provides information on a variety of year-end tax planning techniques. The seminar is being presented by the university's Planned Giving Committee, a group of professionals from the financial community whose goal is to increase public awareness of the benefits of charitable giving and estate planning techniques. Comprised of estate attorneys, certified public accountants, insurance brokers, trust officers, financial planners and investment brokers, the committee assists the university in creating resources for its future growth and development. The speakers will be Michael Dunlap, certified public accountant with Dunlap, Klingensmith & Assoc.; Colin Fort, vice president of First American Trust Company; Patricia Venuti, a special agent with Northwestern Mutual Life; Greg Voisen, an insurance investment broker with North County Financial Associates; and Diane Ward, attorney-at-law, Walters and Ward. CSUSM's Wealth Preservation Seminar is free and open to the public. Seating is limited, however. Call Jane Lynch at 7524406 for information or to make reservations. Additional telephone prefix coming An agreement with Pacific Bell will provide Cal State San Marcos with a new telephone prefix of 750 in January 1995. The agreement will give the university access to all 10,000 numbers in the 750 prefix, which will allow for flexibility as growth continues over the years. Current campus telephone numbers will remain the same. Pacific Bell will be providing referrals for eight months for a limited number of key telephone numbers. All other numbers will be referred to the main campus 752-4000 number. Callers will be transferred by campus operators to the requested extension. Information concerning the new telephone service will continually be disseminated to the campus community. By Roman S. Koenig Being on top isn't everything. This is the inaugural semester for Cal State San Marcos' graduate psychology program, and according to some of those involved in the program, starting something at the ground level has its advantages. "How do you beat a group that treats you like family?" noted Diana Kyle, one ofjust seven students in the graduate program. Being at the ground level gives the first students an opportunity to set traditions for the future, she explained. "I can think only of the benefits," said Kyle. "First, we get really individual attention from our advisers. They are able to know us from a wholistic point of view, from a family point of view and from a student point of view." Because of the d ose atmosphere, graduate students in the psychology program are treated like junior colleagues by faculty, she said. "It gives us a completely different view of academia," she noted. 'How do you beat a group that treats you like family?' Diana Kyle, graduate psychology student "I think we know we have a responsibility to set things up for the future," according to Kyle, "because we want to lay t he groundwork for the students to come — and we want to make them work hard."

"As a result, we're able to hear all these people from different areas (of psychology) to discuss issues of the day." "I'm really excited about the program because we've wanted to see it begin as soon as possible," added Dr. Gerardo Gonz&lez, psychology faculty member. "It's something I've really been looking forward to." Planning for the graduate program began before Gonz&lez arrived at CSUSM. He joined the psychology faculty in fall 1991. Gonz&lez credited Dr. Nancy Kane, psychology graduate program director, withjump starting the program. "One of the goals in bringing her here was to develop t he master's program," he explained.

The Upward Bound program at Cal State San Marcos continues to serve approximately 50 students from grades nine through 12 at local high schools and junior highs. Planning meetings and events usingfall, spring and summer sessions, Upward Bound participants are led through a program that encourages and supports their growth and development as future college students and productive members of the society. The 1994-95 program began with the successful completion of the summer program. The program is an intense session where s tudents are involved for six weeks, including a two-week residential component. Following the process of team building, leadership development and cross-cultural learning, Upward Bound staff and students work together to set a strong base for a successful academic year. This year's summer program began in t he San Bernardino mountains at Camp Abolardo. During the three-day stay, Upward Bound students participated in rope course. With the help of YMCA counselors, students were led through a series of courses designed to enhance confidence and the ability to achieve goals. Students were divided into small groups with the intention of team building. Each team was given the duty of completing individual rope courses which started at ground level and ended up approximately 75 feet above the ground. The trip to the mountains was followed by a classroom compo- Members of Upward Bound hug eachother during after their final banquet. nent on the CSUSM campus. While on campus the students followed a schedule of college preparatory classes on a daily basis. Upward Bound faculty offered such courses as multi-cultural history, study skills and cross culture writing, exposing students to a more contemporary learning style which is present on college campuses today. The students also had the opportunity to take field trips to various college campuses, t he Museum of Tolerance and Wild Rivers water slides. The Upward Bound summer program concluded with a residential component at the University ofSan Diego campus. At USD, students lived in the residential halls under the supervision ofresidential advisers and Upward Bound directors. The living and learning experience allowed students the opportunity to partici- PeopL_ pate in college life first hand. A leadership series was a new part of this summer's residential program. All students participated in a workshops every evening. Each workshop focused on a different aspect of leadership. Through p resentations by guest speakers, community leaders and campus faculty, students learned about self esteem, teamwork, cross-cultural communication, gender issues, public speaking and traits of good leaders. Students gave a three- to five-minute speech to round out the series. A leadership banquet was held and all who participated received certificates of leadership development.

Four of Cal State San Marcos' facility recently received fellowships or appointments and will be off-campus for the 1994-95 academic year. W. Komla Amoaku, visual and performing arts professor, is taking a leave of absence to return to his native Ghana where he will assume the role of executive director of the National Theatre of Ghana. Yareli Arizmendi, assistant professor in visual and performing arts, is taking a year off from teaching to pursue her acting career. Arizmendi co-starred in the highly-acclaimed film "Like Water for Chocolate, " and produced and performed a one-woman play, "Nostalgia Maldita 1-800Megdco." She had small roles in "Beverly Hills Cop A T and the "Cisco Kid." Carolyn R. Mahoney, founding faculty and professor of mathematics, will work at the National Science F oundation (NSF) through an Intergovernmental P ersonnel Act a greement. Mahoney will serve as a program director for the Statewide Systemic Initiatives Program. She will work closely with the office head in the day-to-day management of the office and will be responsible for the research proposals submitted to NSF. Patty Seleski, assistant professor ofhistory, received a 10-month residential fellowship from the Newberry Library of Chicago and the National Endowment for the Humanities starting in September. Seleski will continue her study of English laboring women, popular culture and domestic service in the 18th century. �Do as I say, not as I drink Ifyou happened to be on campus the evening of Sept. 5, a reception was going on in Founders Plaza in honor of the university's fifth anniversay. The celebration included the founders of the university, faculty members, university staff and their guests. There were a few students and AS. officers who also attended the festivities. All in all, it was a lovely celebration with guests enjoying food treats and drinking glasses ofwine. Wine, you say? Alcohol on campus? Wasn't it only last fall that Sigma Phi Delta, Kappa Chi Omega, Teke and Phi Delta Delta requested to host a Halloween party—in the Dome, but were denied a permit because they wanted to serve beer and wine at the party? The InterClub Council (ICC) denied permission for the Greeks to have their party and stating they would not support any activity where alcohol is served. The university went along with their decision. The question that comes to mind, is, "Who does the campus alcohol policy apply to?" The official alcohol policy does permit alcohol provided your group obtains the necessary approval and complies with campus regulations relating to the serving of alcohol. Let's get this straight. It's alright for faculty or staffto host a party on campus and serve alcohol. Yet students and student organizations are held to a different standard, a "no alcohol'' policy when T HE P RIDE it comes to on-campus activities. The message the university is sending is that there are two sets of rules: one for faculty and staff, one for students and student organizations. The Pride believes this kind ofdouble standard should be abolished. If the CSUSM community is to live up to its "no alcohol" policy, then administrators, faculty and staff should be held to this standard as well. If the administration feels they are entitled to have their alcohol parties, then properly authorized and supervised student organizations should also be permitted to host events where alcohol is served. It is easier, however, for those who sit in ivory towers to make rules—"Do as we say, not as we do"—than it is to live by principles. Roman S.

A director of campus planning and construction was appointed in April. But with all this pushing, the buildings (with architectural plans complete), will not be built. Voters made that decision at the polls last June 7 when they defeated Proposition 1C. Passage of the proposition would have provided funding necessary for major new buildings. There will be no money to build the expected buildings. In less than a year the campus will open up forfreshmenand sophomores and the existing classrooms are already full. Where will all the students go? There are no easy answers to this dilemma. The search for alternatives is a challenge for practical-minded campus planners. Are there other ways to raise the necessary funds to put up needed buildings? Should the dirt-moving project stop until building funds are available?

The long-run answer is in the hands of the voting public. The short-run needs are now. Dirt moving is underway and fortunately the money is there. To stop that project now would cause a serious delay when buildings are later funded. Land preparation is necessary, in any event. Besides, there will be a new road providing a new campus access, service roads, a utility tunnel and more.

Just go anywhere like acoffee house and the discussion of the declining state of the world is bound to come up. This negative attitude is highly constagious. The time that we spend in this state of hopelessness could be utilized in a possitive way. I always felt that my small contribution wouldn't even make a difference, so why bother. This mentality is not only wrong but probably felt among the majority. Two years ago my life was feeling a bit empty. Amidst my despair I decided to volunteer for Meals On Wheels and now I am proud to say that I am contributing for the good of society. Every time I go on adelivery I meet interesting elderly people who truly appreciate my participation in MOW. My experience with Meals On Wheels has been such a small commitment, requiring only about four hours a month, that I felt that I could do more. I decided to join Circle K, a college-level division of the KiwanisClub. Since my decision last year, I have been exposed to many of the charitable services the club is involved in. My personal favorite is helping at the soup kitchen in Vista on Thursday evenings. I was apprehensive in the beginning but that disipated after my initial visit. I was surprised at the colage ofpeople. Many ofthem were articulate and educated. There seemed to be a subculture, with rules to follow, amongst the members. I was also See PUSH, page 7 Pej $pe> c AMY CUBBISON surprised that everyone seemed to know one another. My visit to the soup kitchen was an intense awakening that put my life and priorities into perspective. If you havn't gotten the message, I am trying to persuade some of you to join Circle K. Why not contribute to the solution of the problem rather than just complain and never do anything about it. If everyone contributed just one hour a week imagine how much better the world would be. There are not huge commitments to be a member of Circle K. You can commit as little or as much as you would like. There are two meetings this month available at two different time slots—2 p.m. Oct. 13 in ACD-408and 4:15 p.m. Oct. 17in ACD-407.

Cubbison Student Sept. 26 �PUSH,continued from page 6 justments in building plans. Cal State San Marcos is not the only campus faced with the need for additional classroom space. It is not popular to look at many of the practical solutions to such shortages. Temporary modular buildings, leased with option to buy, is a common answer. But don't count on this as a temporary fix. At Cal State Fresno, temporary buildings have been in use for over a quarter of a century. Nor is it popular to consider^ other shortrun alternatives such as longer classroom hours, more night classes, larger class sizes, cancelled courses less well-attended, fewer labs, alternate-year course offerings, doubling up use of office space, off-campus use of facilities, curtailed campus growth. As we look out upon the broad sweep of empty campus space before us and contemplate the dilemma it presents, we ask, "Is there a lesson to be learned by what we see?" Below us we look upon the bulldozers hard at work. We lift our eyes and see the new San Marcos Town Center in the distance. Ironically, Cal State San Marcos was a key element in the making of that sight. The town center required a lot of groundwork. But then the buildings went up, the city hall, community center, library, theater and shops — and many already occupied. How did all of this come about? The lesson we learn from this comes from a very simple, common-sense quotation: "Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see of he has enough money to complete it? For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule him, saying, 'This fellow began to build and was not able to finish."' This quote, with its deep insight, is not from a text in financial management or real estate principles. It is 1,960 years old and comes directly from the Bible, known as The Word of Truth (Luke 14:28-30). Irving F. Davis, PhD.

Only moderate exercise needed to maintain health I hope you were able to attend the health fair on Sept. 21st. If you were one of many to get your cholesterol and percent of body fat checked and found the result out of the normal range or to your disliking, now is the time to act. Follow up, more complete analysis, and counseling is available at Student Health Services. One of the best methods to control cholesterol, body fat and maintain ideal body weight is, guess what, "exercise/' Most people believe physical exercise is beneficial to one's health and well-being; however, a frequent response to questioning about exercise is, "I just don't have time." It is true that there seems to be a perceived or actual reduction in leisure time in the general populace. In students who usually are also working and may have family responsibilities, there is, no doubt, limited time. Along with this, many people believe t hat health benefits from exercise accrue only with strenuous exercise for long periods multiple times per week. Well, studies are showing that you don't need a lot of time or have to be a "super jock" to obtain the benefits of exercise. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends a regimen of20 or greater minutes of relatively vigorous exercise performed three or more times per week as a minimum to maintain physical fitness. A study compared the effects on fitness of 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exer- mm D R. JOEL GRINOLDS cise daily with three short 10-minute bouts of moderate-intensity exercise per day in a group of healthy middle-aged men. Fitness effects on both groups were very similar and the authors feel, for many individuals, short bouts of exercise may be sufficient to maintain fitness and will be more likely adhered to over a longer period of time. This definition of fitness applies primarily to prevention of cardiovascular disease. Other research indicates that lower levels of exercise can provide many of the health-related benefits formerly thought to be achievable only with vigorous activity. Some of these health-related benefits pertinent to college students include stress reduction, improved mood, increased energy levels, weight reduction or weight control. Burning just 1,000 calories a week in moderate exercise such as walking, gardening and sports my be enough. Also, remember it is never too late to start. So why wait, get active. Unplanned Pregnancy?

Curzon on "Jump Starting After the Earthquake." The lecture is Oct. 7 at 7PM in ACD 102 on the CSUSM campus. Dr. Curzon will present slides and a lecture on the Northridge earthquake, focusing on the library. As Vice-Provost of Information & Technology Resources at California State University, Northridge, Dr. Curzon will discuss the challenge of providing services after the devastating January earthquake. Inter-Tribal bird singers As part of its Arts & Lecture Series, CSUSM is sponsoring a performance by t he Inter-Tribal Bird Singers on Oct. 19 at noon, ACD 102. Some of the oldest music in America, Bird Songs are a unique body of music indigenous to southern California and western Arizona. No tribe claims authorship of the songs. Due to the widespread use of the songs by so many tribes across varied geography, it is thought t hat the songs are remnants ofthe ancient groups who were in California from the time of the Ice Age. Exact dates cannot be established but it is possible that this music comes from traditions as far back as 25,000 years. Chinese photo exhibit In Search of Gold Mountain: a Photographic History of the Chinese in San Diego will be on display Oct. 7-Nov. 4 in the CSUSM Library.

Recent arrivals are illustrated with photos and biographic sketches surrounding a map of their areas oforigin in China and Southeast Asia. A group of panels shows contemporary activities, accomplishments, and the results of a successful acculturation process. A reception will mark the opening of Gold Mountain on Oct. 7 from 3-4:30 PM in the CSUSM Library. Both the exhibit and the reception are free and open to the pubic.

Fire alarms, located in each apartment near the stove and restroom, have been the major disturbance at the UVA. There have been 65 false alarms since the beginning of the semester. "The fire alarms are sensitive, they have to be, to avoid fires," said Brian Dawson, director of UVA. "They go off more frequently in the beginning of the year as students have to understand where the sensitivity level is at." The maj ority of false alarms on campus are from cooking. Only two false alarms this semester are from something else, one from steam and one from a blow dryer. "The first day I moved in I made pizza and it set off the alarm," said resident Robert Bothmer. "Since then every time I cook it seems they go off, but I gotta eat." Every time an alarm goes off a police officer is sent to make sure there isn't a fire and the Resident Assistant (RA) on call goes to See UVA, page 2 Moore info, Moore tickets TUESDAY, O CTOBER 5, 2 004 VOL. XII NO. 6 ASI, Moore decide to halt ticket sales to community to avoid early sellout BY LINDSAY RIEDEL Pride Staff Writer Michael Moore's scheduled tour stop at the Del Mar Fairgrounds on October 12 has created such an overwhelming demand for tickets that sales to non-students have been discontinued until October 7. Since Wednesday, September 29, distribution of tickets has been reserved for students, and each student is allowed only his or her one free ticket. Any addiJional ticket purchases must be done when regular ticket sales resume on Thursday, October 7 at 8:30 a.m. On the morning of September 29, it was agreed between Moore's representatives and ASI that priority would be given to students in regards to the distribution of tickets. According to Manal Yamout, president of ASI, this decision is due to the fact that on the first day of sales, 4,000 out of a total of 10,000 tickets were distributed, and a large majority of those tickets were sold to the community. ASI and Moore representatives felt it was necessary to give students priority in the ticket sales to make sure all students have the opportunity to get a ticket before the supply runs out. The tickets are not limited to CSUSM students but are available to all students with valid identification. The decision to hold off all sales has sparked unrest with community members who were told tickets would be available as of Tuesday, September 28. Because of the sudden decision and the See MOORE, page 2 x Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride Students wait in line to receive their free ticket for Michael Moore's October 12 appearance at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

Professor John Halcon waited in line for 45 minutes before he was told that tickets were reserved for students only. "There was a sign on the window but no sign toward the end of the line. You aren't going to walk up to the window, then go to the back of the line," said Halcon. " I'm irritated, not mad; I don't know if I'm going to go now, I don't know if I'll be able to get in line next week when they're ready to sell to people." Shortly after Halcon reported his experience, ASI displayed signs at the end of the line. By creating a time period for only students to receive tickets, students are not able to purchase tickets for family and friends at the same time.

Distribution includes all of CSUSM campus, local eateries and other San Marcos community establishments. Concerning Moore's appearance, there are mixed feelings, but most students are passionate in their position on the subject. "I've been raised as a Democrat, I've read his books and seen his movies," said Emily Broedling, senior communications major. "I know he's one-sided but it's good to hear that side because you usually only hear the other side," Tenzin Peling, first year liberal studies major, also describes herself as a supporter of Michael Moore. "He's voicing his opinion and that's his right. He's just trying to open people's eyes," said Peling. "Everyone will be biased no matter what; I know it's his opinion and I can either agree or disagree." Second year student Bryan Davis feels differently on the subject. "Everything (Moore) says is unbalanced and he takes everything to an extreme," said Davis. " I'm not supporting him. I feel he's a threat to national security by trashing our president." Mark Wilson, first year business major, feels Moore is deceitful. "He's trying to sell his view- point by twisting the facts," said Wilson. A large majority of the cost of Moore's appearance has been covered by donations f rom the community, businesses and individuals. One of the substantial donations was made by the Herring Broadcast Company. Chris Moore, director of programming for Herring Broadcast Company (no relation to Michael Moore), facilitated and supported the decision for the donation made by President of Herring Broadcast Company, Robert Herring Sr. "Young people should be encouraged to involve themselves in the political process. As a member of the media, it is our responsibility to promote f ree speech," said Chris Moore. "It was a way to make a statement of our support for the students' apparent passion and helping students do something. (CSUSM) students made a strong statement, UVA, f rom page 1 , investigate. If the alarm is triggered f rom a stove a call is made to University Police who will then reset it, said Lt. Doug Miller of University Police. Although the alarm only sounds in the room where it was triggered, students in nearby units are still affected. "I haven't had any go off," said resident Erik McLeod. "But I can hear other alarms going off right down the hall." But not all students have had a problem with false alarms. "They haven't bothered me," Photo by Cliezare Milo the Palm Court Plaza.

Chris Moore also said the decision to f und the speaker was not influenced by political affiliation. "Regardless who the speaker is, as long as the speaker promotes and provokes political discussion and debate " said Chris Moore. "I am a strong believer that apathy is lethal in terms of the political process; I would encourage anyone regardless of their political affiliation to be involved in the political process." The Herring Broadcast Company will be filming Michael Moore's speech, and they will also be making a documentary on students in the political process.

Some students have also encountered problems with mold. Several apartment residents have found mold growing in their carpets, window seals and showers and even in ceilings. Olivia Roldan discovered her mold problem when she noticed a " funky smell." Caity Ries found mold growing inside her window seals. In both instances they called the front desk and the problem was fixed immediately. "The majority o f mold problems come from the air conditioner. If residents leave it on really low temperature for a long time then it (the A/C unit) will freeze," said Sonya Maestas, an RA. "When it starts to thaw out it drips and can cause mold." "But if someone calls about mold, we (RA's) call maintenance and they fix it right away," said Maestas. Cassie Johnson had a different problem. She went into her bathroom and noticed the light above was dripping and a large puddle covered the floor. The shower in the unit above had leaked and flooded her bathroom below. She called the front desk. "They came right away and cut out a part of the ceiling and replaced it with plaster," said Johnson.

If you're a beer enthusiast then you definitely recognize the difference between quality beers and stank beer. Stone Chief Executive Greg Koch and co-founder/brewmaster Steve Wagner set out seven years ago to produce beers with character that could be enjoyed by all. "The first year and a half, Stone Brewery was seeing substantial losses," said Koch. "It's hard to know if you're making a mistake by continuing production." Yet, Greg and Steve had a vision and the guts to push forth with production, even when things were looking down. Another aspect of the stone culture is the representation of gargoyles. "All of our beers feature a gargoyle on the bottle because they symbolize the big character of our beers," said Koch. Two of the largest user-based rating websites ratebeer.com and beeradvoate.com have both rated Stone Brewery as the number one American brewery out of 3400 breweries. Stone really put their name on the map when they first released Arrogant Bastard Ale (7.2% Ale/ Vol) in November of 1997. Other beers that have received much acclaim are Stone Ruination IPA (7.7% Ale/Vol), Stone Lévitation Ale (4.4% Ale/Vol) and Stone IPA (7.7% Ale/Vol). Coming this November, Stone is releasing their Double Bastard Ale (10% Ale/Vol).

As well, holds an Associate of Arts degree in Radio and Television. He also has a Masters of Fine Arts degree in Film Studies. In addition, Jason is also a published author. Recently, Hinkle won an Award of Excellence from the 2004 Accolade Competition i n Escondido, California. Previously, he also won the top prize for Special Documentary Award from the Goldie Film Awards Festival. Hinkle is a regular guy that values his friendships and has a great perspective on life. His documentary is an autobiographical account of the challenges that he must face on a daily basis due to his disorder, Frederick's Ataxia. According to Merriam-Webster's dictionary ataxia means, an inability to coordinate voluntary muscular movements that is symptomatic of some nervous disorder. Frederick's Ataxia is just one of the untreatable and incurable diseases existing today. Awareness is vital because maybe one day there will be a cure to relieve the immense suffering that people diagnosed with Frederick's Ataxia experience on a daily basis. Presumably fearless, Hinkle faces life's challenges on a daily basis and he does it by creating awareness now. He strives to create a better future for the unborn children in the world that will inevitably inherit Friederick's Ataxia.

Going into this inaugural season in the new Petco Park most Padres fans were expecting a winning season, including me. If you save all my previous columns like I know you do then you can go through your scrapbook all the way back to a previous Jock Talk that came out on March 16, 2004 where I wrote, "San Diego baseball fans are more hopeful than usual for the start of the 2004 season.. .fans also expect a winning team after five long years of losing." The Padres turned my hopes into a reality by producing their first winning season since 1998, but as great as this season was it still ended up being a disappointment and I am part to blame. I went to 10 Padres games this year and not once did they send me home a happy Padres fan, losing all 10 games while I was in attendance. With the Padres narrowly missing the playoffs I can't help but realize the amazing coincidence that the Padres did not win while I was in attendance. But, was it just a coincidence or was I a jinx? I have never thought much of jinxes or curses. That is just something that ball players believe in like stepping on the chalk lines will affect the way you pitch or that a Billy goat is the reason why the Cubs haven't won a world series since 1908. I thought nothing of me being th m i A M TI E VUl WAN C C LASSIFIEDS EGG DONORS NEEDED Healthy Females ages 18-30. Donate infertile couples. Some of the many eggs your body disposes monthly.

Nor did I think anything of it when they lost on the first Friday night home game against one of the best pitchers in the league in Randy Johnson. I started to get concerned around mid June when they lost to the lowly Devil Rays. Then on July 9 the Padres reliable closer Trevor Hoffman blew a save versus the unassuming Colorado Rockies. The final straw for me came on the first of August when the Dodgers came from behind in 12 innings to beat the Padres.

Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation" has been resurrected and is now for sale at chain electronic stores. Released in 1915, the silent film accounts the friendship between a northern family, the Stonemans, and a southern family, the Cameron's during pre/post Civil War era, President Lincoln's assassination and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). I used the term "resurrected" for three reasons. First, it was made before Hollywood existed, and now it's been released on DVD. Second, we see first hand of the roots of filmmaking. And thirdly, it's possibly the first film to use political ideals onscreen. I admit this was the first silent picture film I've seen. But we've all heard the phrase "A picture if worth a thousand words." And f rom these pictures, anyone can learn Griffith's own prejudices and the racism during thefilmand the controversy that sparked after the film. As a movie critic, this is one o fthe rare I don't know why anybody, including occasions that the plot is not important in Griffith, would want any part of this film, a critique. It's what symbolized, portrayed Maybe they thought they could tell a story and surrounds the film is important. But the way it really happened. Or maybe I'll be fair for those that would like to know they thought they could be the first to use the plot. The two families, the Stonemans political ideals in a film. Or maybe they and the Cameron's, were friends until the thought the best way to be remembered is Civil War erupted which caused the sons being the villain. Or maybe they thought of each family sent to fight each other on to sell a film is to sell controversy. I agree the battlefield. that controversy sells.

The liars are everywhere on campus. I know this because I'm one of them. Disgusted with myself, I nod when people ask me if I'm going to vote. "Hell, yes!" I say as I scurry in the direction of my class. Yet I know I won't. The funny thing is, I take a sick pride in knowing that I am not alone. On this campus, I have run into likeminded folks who smile at the student protests, get loud at the indecencies of government, perhaps shake a fist in the air saying, "Fees, fees we can't pay these!" You know who you are. We are the ones who silently stand by and listen very carefully until we make eye contact. Then we out each other, carefully so as not to make a scene, though. I can feel it now, the comfort of the knowing stare and smile that says, "Yes, friend, you may seek refuge with me and the other big-talking-no-voting villagers." Please don't mistake my tone for pride. I hate the fact that the gumption I have for voting dissipates as soon as I park my car in the dirt and walk up that jerk of a sidewalk. Lazy? So what. As available as registering is, I have never even come close to "locking the vote." Some students have legitimate reasons. Tomy Gysi, a Literature and Writing senior, who is in fact registered to vote, doesn't feel either candidate is worthy A +substitutes, aids, and S UBS P reschool t eachers.

Joe Inixienginai, a Business major, simply feels that choosing is losing since it would be the "Same old, same old." More my style. My favorite voter immunity is Liberal Arts student Alanna Colepietro who lashes out, " I'm Canadian." These are just three non-voting students I have come across. Where's our protest against voting in general? Why should we be ashamed or hide in the darkest corners of Craven? Where's our red, white and blue bumper stickers that say, "Don't blame me, I voted for m e!"

X �Above: The entire cast of "RENT". Below: Roger and Mimi gaze into each other's eyes. Photos courtesy of Susan Chicoine. No day like today BY CHRISSY BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer The Broadway musical, RENT, is about young people, such as ourselves, who are faced with all the difficulties and hardships that come with just starting out in life. How do we stay true to ourselves against the trials and tribulations of the world and still be able to make rent each month? RENT, the musical, is about a group of young friends living in New York City (the center of the world), and how they deal with relationships, AIDS, death and the inability to make the monthly rent. There are eight main characters. (Try to keep up) Benny, former roommate of Roger and Mark who now owns the building they live in and is demanding rent for a full year. Mark, a young filmmaker, who lives with Roger and used to date Maureen. Roger, HIV positive musician, who lives with Mark and is in love with Mimi. Mimi, HIV positive exotic dancer with a drug habit. Collins, best friend to Roger and Mark, falls in love - with Angel. Angel, HIV positive drag queen. Maureen, performance artist that dumped Mark for Joanne. Joanne, a recent law school graduate, now dating Maureen. The story is told through music, song and dance. From the moment Roger and Mark took the stage, the audience roared with applause and cheers, and not a word had been spoken. Mark opens the scene, the band starts playing, Mark begins to sing and it feels like you're at a rock concert. The songs are infectiously optimistic, even though they tell the tale of heartbreak, struggle and death. The underlying theme throughout the play was sung in "No day like today". Even though the characters battle the hardships of disease, destitution and death of loved ones, the message is that there is only today because tomorrow is not guaranteed. We can't live our lives feeling sorrow or regret, we need to focus on what we do have right now and do the best we can with it. - In the beginning of the second act, the entire cast sings in unison: "Five hundred twentyfive thousand, six hundred minutes. . .how do you measure a life in a year?" RENT takes the audience through a year in the lives of the main characters. In that year, relationships flourish and fade. They each have a personal struggle to connect with each other and with themselves. The entire production is a moving illustration of the trials w e face as young adults living in America. We are all trying to find our place in this world, but it is especially hard when, as the cast sings, "you are what you own". If you don't own anything, does that mean you are nothing? RENT inspires hope that our materialistic society will change and what should matter, will matter. The message is that only love matters and it is what we do with the love we are given and the love we have to give that makes us who we are. Since its debut on Broadway in 1996, RENT has earned a Pulitzer Prize and 12 Tony Awards. It is definitely a play for all to see and experience. RENT was written and composed by Jonathan Larson, he died days after its first opening night, but his story still lives on. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

And with these pridelayout@gmail.com GPS devices, you can download coordinates and follow the GPS Sales to find hidden capsules, also Representative known as geocaches that are usually full of cool little trinkets. Geocaching was created in 2000 by computer consultant Dave Ulmer of Beavercreek, Oreg. All he wanted to do was test the accuracy of his GPS by hiding a small canister with a few trinkets and a logbook in the woods near his house. After doing so, he uploaded the coordinates of the canister online, and asked people to try to find it. His Internet challenge was a great hit, and soon picked up speed all across the country and then the world. Today, geocaching has become a common social outing for groups of all ages. There are many great websites that allow for an easy download of geocache locations all over the country. Geocaching.com is one of the most well known sites. It utilizes Google Maps to help display the available geocaches, and allows people to comment and rate each geocache by difficulty and accuracy. In the San Marcos area alone, there are over 500 geocaches that are ready and waiting for teams of treasure hunters to find their hidden goodies. And when I say "goodies," know that it is a very loose term. I have found everything from bullet casings to a Fraggle Rock beer cozy. A common misconception with geocaching is that the GPS tells you exactly how to get to the geocache. That is so very far from the truth. It points to the exact location of the geocache, but it is up to the hiker to get there. Figuring out which trails lead to the geocache and how to find the geocache makes the experience that much more fun. The only deterrent to geocaching is the initial price of purchasing a GPS unit. I was at?le to find one on Amazon.com for under $75 that has worked extremely well during my geocaching excursions. And for those who aren't too sure about the small investment, try alternative GPS methods, such as a cell phone. While the GPS won't necessarily be as accurate, it will still provide you with a decent enough device to track down the geocaches. If you are looking for a great weekend activity in sunny San Marcos, grab a GPS and hit the trails. For more information, visit h ttp://www.geocaching.com.

Once admitted into the NCAA, Saia and his assistants will also have to follow strict guidelines regulating coach and player contact. So far the Cougars have 24 games scheduled in 2011-12, including eight at home. The eventual goal will be 30 scheduled games, Saia said, as well as to add a few more home games. Given that the new campus arena remains in the planning stages, the athletic department is still working on where to host home games. Possibilities include Palomar College, Mira Costa College, and local high schools, although a college would be preferred since high school courts have slight differences in size and would need to be adjusted. Wherever they play, expect to witness Cougar victories with Saia at the helm.

If you think for one second that a film about Facebook will be a pitiful way of capitalizing on the popularity of the site, you couldn't be more wrong. David Fincher ("Fight Club" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button") takes a story of what easily could have been a simple handful of pretentious characters with the inability to socially connect, and created an exciting and fascinating story about the cracks within human nature. The film begins at Harvard with Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) using his internet blog to lash out at the girl who dumped him. His drunken anger leads him to create a site that rates his female peers according to their hotness, crashing Harvard's system and bringing him to the attention of the Winklevoss rowing twins (both played by Armie Hammer). Mark is hired by the twins to create an elite dating site that every scene he appears in with a only Harvard students can sign vibrant energy that fills you with up for.

As for specials, they have $1 off all beers from 4 to 6 p.m. Can't take beer straight? Eat it! Spud Buds are $7, and Brownie Sundaes are $10, boasting beer as an ingredient.

If you want more bang for your buck, buying a Growler is worth every penny.

Developed by Bungie and Microsoft Game Studios, Halo: Reach brings the player more of the now-classic sci-fi shooter action, but with plenty of upgrades and tweaks to the game play to keep the action fresh and exciting. The last issue of The Pride featured a review of the single player campaign of "Halo: Reach." This article's focus is solely on the multiplayer experience. While the single-player campaign made great strides in terms of story and graphics for the franchise, its effects on the video gaming community pale in comparison to the newly upgraded multiplayer experience Bungie developed. In previous versions of "Halo," the multiplayer was al- ways broken up into two game playlists: Ranked and Social. While both sections allowed players to rise in level, i.e., "Captain" or "General," only the ranked players would be able to reach the highest levels available in game. This created a divide between many gamers, as the atmosphere and difficulty of the Ranked and Social playlists differed greatly. Bungie, in one of many recent great decisions, combined the two sections to help quell the dissent. The ranking system remains and has been given new rewards at set points to help encourage players to keep pushing to that higher level. In each game, players earn credits for completing certain tasks. The tasks range from getting a certain amount of kills in a match, to surviving for a certain amount of time in a level without dying. Bungie also introduces daily and weekly challenges that, if completed, give the player a large amount of credits. Once players earn enough credits, they can purchase upgrades to their Spartan avatar, which is visible to the other players in online matchmaking. The upgrades are merely cosmetic and do not give the player any advantage over another, but as in previous "Halo" games, the customization of the player's armor is a time honored tradition,^¡vith many armor upgrades unlocked only after completing certain challenges and achievements, which are worn like a badge of honor among the players. Along with the added customization to the player avatars, Bungie also adds several new game modes, bringing some much-needed diversity to the online game play. The cooperative Firefight mode, which involves four playersfightingagainst wave after wave of enemies, allows for a completely new type of online play. Instead of competing against other humans, players can team up to fight the computer while still utilizing the online features. My favorite online feature is one of the smaller tweaks to the online matchmaking system. In previous "Halo" games, there has been a rather priifitive system that players used to vote for or against the current online level. If the consensus was negative, the players would then be thrown into another completely random level whether without the option to vote. Bungie heard the complaints loud and clear. Before each game, the players can now vote for one of three presented levels and game types, with a fourth option to see new levels. And if the voting players pick to see new levels, they are presented with three new choices instead of one permanent alternative level. "Halo: Reach" has delivered on all levels and provides the player with a large variety of game play and features to bring a whole new generation of gamers back into the "Halo" universe. "Halo: Reach" is available now for the Xbox 360 for $59.99. PHOTO COURTESY OF HIQHTECHEDGE.COM App of the week: Bump BY TORIA BODDEN FEATURES EDITOR its.

The film follows the previously established story line of a group of teenagers ^ ho find out that they're all being terrorized in their dreams by the same man due to actions made by their parents when they were children. With laughable acting, an extreme emphasis given to Kruger's possible pedophilic nature, and Haley trying desperately to rip the same terror from the audience as the irreplaceable original Robert Englund, this film only succeeds in being a weak attempt to recreate afilmthat needs no reproduction. NEW CD RELEASES With the sixth season newly underway, the DVD release of season five of this Emmy-nominated crime-drama series could not come at a better time. Heavily steeped in the symbiotic relationship between forensic anthropology and criminal justice, the series continues to follow the exploits of main characters Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz), as well as the excellent supporting cast including Michaela Conlin, T J. Thyne, John Francis Daley, and Tamara Taylor. Featured in this season is the 100th episode (directed by David Boreanaz) that allows the audience to see the beginnings of Booth and Brennan's relationship, the Gravedigger (the villain of season four) on trial, the rekindling of romance between Angela and Hodgins, and finally ending the season with the characters going their separate ways temporarily. Be sure to catch new episodes of "Bones," airing Thursdays at 8 p.m. on FOX. b o n i ; PHOTOS COURTESY AMAZON.COM BY ASHLEY DAY PRIDE STAFF WRITER Brandon Flowers - "Flamingo" - Island It has been two weeks since Brandon Flowers's solo record, "Flamingo," has hit stores. The front man of Las Vegas band, The Killers, has not let the band's hiatus stop himfromcreating music. Flowers revealed fearing that if he stopped playing music for a year, it might "mess him up." Onfirstlisten, this record seems like a mash up of ten songs thrown onto an album. By the second or third spin through "Flamingo," the songs become infectious melodies that stick in your head. "Crossfire" is thefirstsingle off the record and sounds much like The Killers. The rest of the disk pays homage to Flowers's home town of Las Vegas. The record is a blend of alternative, country, jazz and pop. h ¡¡III I V 4 v WÏ % Jimmy Eat World - "Invented" - David Geffen Company It has been three years since Jimmy Eat* World's smash album, "Chase This Light," dropped. The band has bounced between record labels for many years, but for "Invented," Jimmy Eat World seceded from former major label Interscope Records to create the fresh, emotional rock Jimmy Eat World is known for. The band teamed up with producer Mark Trombino, who has produced three other Jimmy Eat World records, including the infamous "Bleed American." Long time fans will be ecstatic to know Jimmy Eat World has taken "Invented" back to their glory days, recycling the mellow guitar riffs that made "Clarity" a love-at-first-listen album in 1999 and chant-friendly high school anthems of "Bleed American." Their first single, "My Best Theory," is already number twelve on the Billboard rock charts. jmmmmmmmmmmmmmm * il M M P -Uj ( 1 - m ¡ — Ë f l H p H mmmm £ |NlMtll m n » .i Ä ' Ä M l i 1 1-ummIJIÄM 1.YEAH YEAH YEAH - MEW POLITICS 2 , « » Y O U - C E E .

The festival had Alice in Wonderland as a theme. It had five stages and large art installations and sculptures with fire. Several great artists and DJs performed at the festival, such as Steve Angello, Ferry Corsten, ATB, Dada Life and Pretty Lights. This year Insomniac offered free water refills for everyone, keeping attendees hydrated and dancing all day into the warmnight. The audience seemed electric throughout the 11-hour festival. With the many fast beating songs, lights, crazy outfits, carnival rides and dressed up entertainers, it seems like Insomniac could live up to calling it "wonderland." When Steve Angello played Swedish House Mafia's "One," the audience seemed to get into a frenzy, likewise with ATB when they played Ecstasy and managed to blow a speaker. As soon as the sun set, the out- S Œ door tents filled up at the speed of light. Angello who housed "Alice's House," a massive two story black tent with 78.000 square feet of room to dance and shuffle, together with Eddie Halliwell, D. Ramirez and Dada Life gave people no reason to leave. Festival goers had to dip their heads into "the Labyrinth," another one of the outdoor stages, to check out Ferry Corsten, ATB and Markus Schulz, who were blasting music in a hot, white tent with massive speakers and an euphoric crowd. If the 110-degree weather had made you tired, the lawn next to the pond at the entrance seemed a good place to rest while embracing the magic of the moment, looking at people passing by in their minimal outfits with candy (bracelets) up to their armpits or watching people getting light shows. At the end of the night, confetti was raining down, lasers were pointing everywhere, fireworks blasting somewhere in the warm nighs sky, and the bass pumped loud in the background, it truly seemed like wonderland.

Let's raise our glasses to good health! PHOTO COURTESY EUPHORIASMOOTHIES.COM �MojaCet (Dance CoCCective BY TORIA BODDEN FEATURES EDITOR I had no idea what to expect when I attended Stick Together. I knew there would be choreographed movement accompanied by a percussion group all the way from Switzerland. If you saw the signs around campus or read a preview of the event, and you harbored any fears of unintelligible modern ballet and a single man hitting a drum with his hands, you're not alone. But Stick Together made those fears completely baseless. It wasn't just a performance; it was a story about humanity told through dance and every type of percussive instrument I've ever seen, and at least a few I've never seen. Each piece had a name that provided some clues to its meaning, though like any good art, it made each person in the audience feel something unique and personal. The opening number, Transparency, started with human beings trapped in boxes, glowing with light from beneath them. To try to explain what happened after this point is almost impossible. Individuals came out of boxes. They got back in boxes. There were jerky individual movements after the "birth" of escaping the glass boxes, then smoother movement with the beginnings of cooperation between couples. As in life, however, the level of refinement that brings individual grace immediately turns into a pressure to conform. Dancers would do something breathtaking as individuals, only to be copied by the other dancers. It was beautiful, frustrating and relatable all at the same time. There were slow, somber dances where the dancers seemed serious, or even emotionless. There was a quick dance, filled with smiles and bright costumes that seemed to radiate happiness. In short, there was a little of everything. Adults in the audience were giving their full attention, homework and text messages briefly forgotten, and the children in the audience looked fascinated. But to speak just about the Mojalet Dance Collective is to completely ignore the other half of the evening. Rhythm Talk is currently in the OS on tour from Olten, Switzerland. I have never seen people so jubilant about playing the drums. But the word "drum" is overly simplistic. There were gongs. There were cymbals. There was a piece with the rhythm set by a berimbau, a musical bow I've never seen used outside of Brazilian capoeira performance. It was a dy- namic performance that I doubt sounds exactly the same twice. It's not the first time the groups have worked together. Faith Jensen-Ismay, the artistic director of Mojalet Dance Collective, and Noby Lehmann, the main composer for Rhythm Talk, met in 2006 when Jensen-Ismay and her collective were performing in Switzerland. "By 2007, they were here to do a tour project with us," Jensen-Ismay said. Now the group is back for another whirlwind tour of performances and master classes. Before the performance at CSUSM, the two groups taught a master class on campus, sponsored by the Dance Program . Rhythm Talk's newest album, also entitled "Stick Together," is filled with names from the places they visited in 2007, such as "Oceanside" and "Diego Dance." "There's just a lot of inspiration here," Lehmann said. "Normally, we make music, then choreography. But here, we can work together. Faith sends me choreography, and then I make music." If you missed "Stick Together" at CSUSM, there are still two more chances to catch the performance. There will be two free shows at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido, on October 6th at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. The shows are free, but tickets are first come, first served starting an hour before each performance. The California Center for the Arts, at 340 N. Escondido Blvd., is a fifteen-minute drive from campus, or two Sprinter stops and a fifteen-minute walk.

Halloween fun is just around the corner with these exciting events: The LGBTQ Pride Center is hosting its first annual Gender Bender Ball on Friday, October 29 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The idea: guests can arrive dressed as any gender they want. The event will be held at the San Marcos Community Center (located at 3 Civic Center Drive in San Marcos).

Rodriguez was well known for his dedication in educating people on Native American issues. WWII Navajo Code Talker Joe Morris, Sr. shared his experiences in the war and spoke about the key role Native Americans played in the war. Moms received many different awards for his service in the United States Marine Core; one of which included a Certificate of Appreciation from the President of the United States. The celebration featured gourd dancers, traditional drumming, singing, Aztec Fire Dancers, and Kumeyaay Bird Singers.

According to him, "A powwow'is a time when all tribes of different Native Americans get together and participate by dancing and having different drummers from different tribes sing songs that are unique to each tribe. It (Annual Tukwut Powwow) is small powwow but a good one because it's growing.

President of the North County National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Rob Howard, Associate Professor of Communication Dr. Dreama Moon, and Associate Professor of Sociology Dr. Garry Rolison took part in speaking, answering questions, and addressing students concerns regarding Prop. 54. Prop. 54, which is scheduled to be on the special election October 7, ban the use and collection of ethnic and racial data in California. This ethnic and racial data is widely used by many different companies including: healthcare organizations, Police departments, schools, businesses, government agencies, etc. Dr. Moon said, "White women are diagnosed with breast cancer at a higher rate than any other group of women. Asian Americans are at a higher risk for hepatitis B. Latinos are more likely to die from complications of diabetes and African Americans die from heart disease than any other group." She also said that healthcare professionals use ethnic and racial data to find put why certain groups suffer from certain types of illnesses. Without the information these agencies will not be able find a solution. Dr. Moon also brought up the issue that she has been involved with the San Diego Police Department of racial profiling. She said that Hispanics and Blacks are more likely to be stopped by police officers in proportion to the population and that the San Diego Police Department acknowledges that police officers often engage in racial profiling and have developed programs to teach officers how to cease this practice. Howard said, "Minority communities are targeted by tobacco companies and have higher rates of smoking. Prop. 54 would keep us from knowing that. Also suicide rates, lead poisoning and other Photo by Adrian Cundiff/The Pride environmental hazards cannot be linked under this proposition to racial and eihnic communities. When you ban information what you do is you prevent yourself from working on a cure." Without ethnic and racial information people would not know what is affecting whom in these communities, therefore slipping between the cracks. GEICO's hiring! Pass it on!

A Masters degree could provide the status and recognition it may take to achieve your dreams. * Here is afinalword of warning. Make sure references are approached far in advance so that they will write the very important letter of recommendation within the time constraints important to the applicant. It is wise to tell the reference that their letter will remain confidential: the candidate will not b e reading it. This will allow the reference to be more expressive in their response. The reference should be a faculty member or distinguished person who knows you well and will write glowing praises. It is important to provide each of your references with a list of your strengths, accomplishments, and goals from which they will draw when writing the letter. Above all else, make sure that you "enjoy every minute of it. You'll never be there again" said Hayton. The time spent in graduate school will be two very important years to develop your writing skills, your professional goals, and yourself.

The job fair, hosted by the California Center for the Arts of Escondido on October 2, provided an opportunity for job seekers to look for work in one concentrated location. CSUSM did not host the job fair this year, but was one of the sponsors. CSUSM Job Fair Coordinator, Pam Wells, said, "We are not hosting the job fair on campus this year due to budget cuts, but we will have an on campus job fair scheduled for April 15, next year." Many employers expressed an interest in offering undergraduate and postgraduate students opportunities such as internships and basic field experience. Kathleen Bloomfield of Community Interface Services (CIS) said, "We do like seeing students. I was a student myself when I was hired here." She added, "We haveflexiblejobs, many where you set your own schedule." Robyn Heckler, Human Resources Manager of TRI-AD, said, "We are involved in the senior experience project and we offer internships for students/We currently have about ten student employees and we try to beflexiblewith scheduling around school." The event attracted all types of individuals looking for work. Erick Emms, a CSUSM senior, said, "It's pretty 1>ig, and it has a diverse selection of employers, from retail to professional. I'm just looking to see what's out there. • Students who missed the event can look forward to future job fairs currently in the works. The Rancho Bernardo and Poway Chambers of Commerce will host a career fair on Oct. 21.Last year the fair attracted over 1200 job seekers. In regards to seniors who are graduating this» December, Pam Wells urges students to bring resumes to the Career and Transfer Students Services (CATSS), adding "The RISE (Resuine/Interview Services for Employment) program submits student resumes to over 40 companies. The deadline f6r December graduates to submit resumes is Oct. 10." Provided by the job fair committee were complimentary bagels and coffee, along with handouts from the Employment Development Department (EDD) on jobfindingtips. Attendants were also given access to a booth reserved for resume critiques.

We, as a group, are excited with the response we are getting from the readers. Personally, I share this enthusiasm with the others because I am seeing empty newsstands and students with The Pride around campus. Also, I think the enthusiasm we have for the paper comes through in our reporting. The interactions I have had on campus with students and faculty are pro- ductive. Quite honestly, I have yet to hear any harsh criticism of The Pride and our stories. Be that as it may, if there are any harsh critics out there go ahead and email as well. On the topic of emails, I have received some emails that do concern me. The primary concern I have is that we are reporting on topics that encompass the entire campus, not just to specific groups. In this case, it is graduate students that have voiced interest in our workings at The Pride. As I perused the three issues up to this point, I noticed that THE PRIDE Corrections there were not articles specifically addressing the concerns of graduate students. Our articles cover stories that affect the campus as a total community from faculty to both undergraduate and graduate students. However, if there is something that we are missing in regards to our coverage of graduate activities^ please let me know and we will work on those ideas. That is it for this week. My email address is d o lan005@c s usm. e d u . Please contact me and voice your thoughts on The Pride.

The SUV and truck show sure was neat, I would also like to thank the College Republicans for clearing up my misconceptions about the Republican Party. I was under the false impression that Republicans stood for things like fiscal responsibility, individual freedoms, economic opportunity, family values, accountability, and common sense. I'm sure glad to be informed that . the new crux of the conservative agenda is SUVs. I was under the misimpression that the root of "conservative" is "conserve". SUVs don't conserve anything, so I guess I was wrong about that. So what does being Republican have to do with driving a wasteful vehicle? This question puzzled me as I walked through the protestors in Chavez Plaza. I thought to myself, perhaps the College Republicans are just celebrating our freedom to purchase any vehicle we want. That seems noble enough, but as Americans we have many freedoms. Are our CSUSM Republicans going to celebrate our freedom to purchase pornography? What about guns or booze? If we're going to celebrate our freedoms on campus we might as well have a giant porn display, get liquored up, and showcase the latest firearms in Chavez Plaza. I'll make sure to show; up wearing my finest f ur coat and baby otter loafers. Such an event would surely attract the masses to the College Republican cause. The more I think about it the more confused I get. Republicans promote individual freedom, but our College Republicans showcase the irresponsible excess resulting from this freedom. By aligning conservatives and SUVs the message is clear: Republicans at Cal State San Marcos really are the selfish and uncompassionate people you thought they might be. Once again I want to thank the College Republicans for setting the record straight. Republicans are not here to defend small business, encourage economic growth or lower your taxes. R e p u b l i - cans are not here to create jobs, pro- mote moral responsibility, or to ensure equality of opportunity. We 're here to sell you a bigger car.

You can pay 99 cents for a crunchy bowl of day old rice or grab a pocket full of fortune cookies for free. Do not mistake free for good; the fortune cookies are by no standard worth bragging about. Free, however, is always noteworthy. Most students who eat at The Dome fail to notice there is no price tag posted for fortune cookies. Students walk in thé food arena and walk out five dollars poorer when they could have satisfied that undeniable urge for proteins, carbohydrates and sugars for free with a fortune cookie. The history of the fortune cookie dates back to the 13th and 14th century when the Mongols occupied China. The Chinese needed a way to communicate dates of uprisings without being caught. Lotus nut paste moon cakes werefilledwith important SWIM Eatm information and then distributed in safety knowing Mongols had not acquired a taste for the recipe. This strategy eventually led to the formation of the Ming Dynasty and the freedom of China. Furthering the tradition, Chinese 69'ers put messages of good fortune into a cookie, instead of a cake, and exchanged them at the Moon Festival. Since then, the tradition of the fortune cookie has been extended to a complimentary desert provided on behalf of Chinese restaurants. On numerous occasions I have used fortune cookies as a means of survival. As a freshman at CSUSM, my friends and J would take platefuls of fortune cookies and share them amongst ourselves to substitute a five-dollar meal. During my sophomore year the act of sitting around a fortune cookie covered table underwent a transformation similar to that of the moon cake- survival strategy to tradition. Two or three of us would walk in the exit of the food per What are hour!

After twenty to thirty cookies were on the plate, head for the exit and return to the designated table. My junior year represented a stage of rebellion. The goal, make a clear statement about food in The Dome. Instead of walking in the exit, we entered through the entrance. As a group we glanced over the different options of food (as though interested) and after utter disgust, walked to the beverage machine,filleda cup with ice water, turned to the fortune cookies andfilledour pockets with enough to imitate a full meal. Then we would wait in line, along with other paying students, pay the fifteen cents due for the cup of ice water and snicker as though fifteen cents was too much to charge for ice water. Fortune cookies have a lot to offer a person: A meal, a snack, a messaging system, a history, a tradition, a word of encouragement, even a business. It is INSTRUCTORS $1"(|®|-$16.00 Vm : had: this conversation, I wondered just how the law has instilled a mentality to only think of ourselves as drug users if we are using drugs deemed illegal, regardless of their health risks. When I pointed out the contradictory nature of her argument, I was treated the traditional response for someone in her position, "I know, but..." Is that an acceptable response for someone who has just been enlightened to the normalcy that permeates within drug use? It must be since that is the answer one will most likely receive in this situation. However, that answer does not poke at the heart of the matter which is drugs are drugs regardless of how they are defined by law and 1 , really? society; A perfect example of how the law defines and shapes our acceptability of certain drugs can be found in alcohol. While popular in use and acceptability, alcohol has not always been the social fixture it is today. During Prohibition, the law would have the public believe that alcohol was a bad drug. White that did not deter everyone from drinking, it did change the perception society has of alcohol and its consumption. When Prohibition ended, alcohol's negative stigma also ended, making the prevalent drug it is today. Alcohol is not alone in being defined in terms that are dictated by the law. All of our controlled substances are defined as such. I now refer back to my friend who was drinking coffee and smoking while explaining her choice not to use illegal drugs. She is readily using drugs in the nicotine and caffeine she consumes on a regular basis, but she does not perceive this consumption as dangerous or problematic since this usage is legal. Also, society, while increasingly discouraging smoking, openly encourages coffee drinking. Think about how many of those green circles with the lady in the middle you see as you drive around. Is there something fundamentally wrong with our society encouraging one kind of drug use while punishing others who use another type of drug? Yes. There is a problem with a double standard in our social fabric. I think we can start to move in the right direction by realizing that they are only drugs regardless of legality. These drugs are defined by laws which are not absolute and are subject to repeal/ These laws shape how society views certain drugs and their usage. When thinking about drugs and reasons behind "why" and "how" for our own usage, we should be thinking of the driSgs we take and how our perception of them is shaped by the forces of law and society. This column is not intended to insinuate a free for all drug bender, it is intended to bring to light the complex and contradictory nature of our society. I should remind my friend that the next time she is enjoying her cup of coffee while reading a. newspaper article about a police raid on a drug house to look around her coffee house and ask herself, what is the difference and why won't this place be next? �ARTS 8 Tuesday, October 07,2003 T HE P ftlDE A nything E lse ByKRISTENREES Pride StaflfWriter This quirky yet romantic comedy should have been rated N for nuts. Thisfilmis unique because the main character, Jerry Falk (Jason Biggs) narrates each scenario for the audience. Thefilmis full of off-beat and hilarious antidotes, Jerry, a young up and coming comedy writer, is trying to figure out why his eccentric girlfriend Amanda played by Christina Ricci won't sleep with him anymore. Jerry's new friend, school teacher and aged comedian David Dobel (Woody Allen) gives Jerry all sorts of advice about Amanda throughout the film. He fires Jerry's lousy manager and teaches Jerry how to survive in New York City. Unfortunately Jerry has a weakness when it comes to ending relationships with anyone. He can't bring himself to break up with Amanda even though he believes that she is cheating on him. Jerry's situation quickly worsens when Amanda's alcoholic mother, Paula played by Stockard Channing, moves in with them. This film is unique and funny. It isiTt your typical romantic comedy. The neurotic girlfriend, and the over analytical Jerry, are amusing but not so much as Allen's character. Woody Allen does a masterful job at playing Dobel and was probably the reason why I enjoyed this film so much. Having the main character narrate throughout seems a little odd at first but the casting was done so well that the story is very believable and very entertaining; Anything Else is a young and funny. I would recommend it to anyone.

The highprofile Last T hursday, Oct. 2, A merican Democracy Project hosted first Pizza and Politics event for the Fall 2009 semester during University Hour. The small room filled with approximately 60-70 students and CSUSM staff with the focus of the 45-minute discussion on Obama and McCain's presidential campaigns and debate further emphasized the polarity between the Republican and Democratic parties. While the majority of dialogue focused on the financial crisis of late, both candidates confidently supported their running mates' policies. Gwen Ifill, senior correspondent for PBS's The NewsHour,; moderated Thursday's debate. Though her prepared questions spanned every aspect of the respective candidates' campaigns, Palin and Biden focused on addressing the economic crisis, energy, and the war in Iraq. The 90-minute broadcast pitted a seasoned Sen. Biden against D.C. freshman Gov. Palin, who admittingly joked, "How long have I been at this, like,fiveweeks?" Although Biden's years of experience may contribute to his credibility, Palin's persona garnered a few laughs from the otherwise silent audience. A trend among both Palin and Biden was their polite refusal to respond to Ifill's direct topic suggestions. Immediately following Palin'sfirstrebuttal, Biden preferred to continue discussing McCain and his views on the stability of the maiket. Biden stated, "That doesn't make John McCain a bad guy, but it does point out he's out of touch." Palin focused on her running mate's strengths rather than stress disagreement. Concerning energy, Palin used her track record as Alaska's gov- See Pizza, Page 4 Student open forum with President Haynes this Thursday This Thursday, Oct. 9, CSUSM President Karen Haynes will connect with students in an open forum f rom during University Hour in the President's Boardroom, Craven Hall 5302.

This revolution gained motion with the release of YouTube, allowing anyone to post video online. However, Dr. Horrible was different, because it was the first widely released professionally made production without backing of a major studio. Dr. Horrible is a comedy musical set around the world of super villains. The story follows the titular character, Dr. Horrible, in his quest to defeat his nemesis and get the girl of his dreams. Behind this was director Joss Whedon, the man responsible for Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly/Serenity. The idea came about during the Writers Guild Strike, when Whedon and a crew wished to make a production without a high budget or backing of a major studio. Though it did not take a great deal of money to make, it had the appearance of high production value. The each segment of the three part series reached the top of the iTunes sales chart. Upon release, the soundtrack, released only on iTunes, made it in the top 40 album sales. Mac BY JOSEPH DERAGISCH Pride Staff Writer Some battles have been raging since the dawn of time.

THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Yet, the real significance does not lay in its popularity or cost. The online-based release ushered in a use of the Internet. It proved a professionally made film could gain success without cinema or DVD release. Dr. Horrible also showed that entertainers could use the Internet for more than homemade videos on YouTube, movie trailers, or television reruns. Dr. Horrible subtly raised the quality of online media, which should lead to more development in this medium. The idea of an Internet only release of a major production was elusive until now. Though companies used the Internet as tool paired with movies and television, it is now beginning to stand on its own, thanks to Dr. Horrible. One would be naive to assume the Internet would take over, because these mediums will continue to benefit from each other.

Vegetarianism promotes health, is cruelty-free, and is even required by some religious schools. For those of us who grew up eating meat, the commitment for change raises a crucial question: How do I get enough protein? In the Western world, the answer to this d ifficulty comes in the form of a happy little protein-packed bean. When I f irst explored alternative proteins a few years ago, I could hardly tell the difference between meat and meatless variants, let alone other vegan products. Companies like WholeSoy and Boca Foods leave nothing to be desired in recent converts, right? Not so fast. Have you ever wondered what is so "super" about soy? Companies promote soy as a miracle food to cure what ails, replace what needs replacing, and even make less of an impact on the environment. As convincing as the advertising appears, it's time to take a reproachful look at the myths surrounding soy and see what science has to say. Soy partially gained a reputation as the perfect food from the Asian community. Asians, especially the Chinese, have a longer average lifespan and decreased risk of heart disease than Europeans because of their diet. However, farm- - i*«* • -g ers originally used soybeans in crop rotation, not as a food source. In fact, they realized as early as the 2nd century BC that raw soy contained large amounts of natural toxins, or "antinutrients." Further research shows these toxins include enzyme inhibitors that block the absorption of proteins, phytic acid that retards the uptake of essential vitamins and minerals, and goitrogens that suppress thyroid function. The Chinese discovered that only fermented soy, like tempeh, natto, miso and soy sauce, was f it for consumption. Average use of soy in Japan and China is only about two teaspoons per day, and most of it is condiments. A more likely reason Asians experience better health is their frequent use of fish and low intake of saturated fats. Environmental claims suggest soy is a "greener," more natural food source than any other mass produced crop. Unfortunately, most soybeans grown in the Americas are GM, genetically modified; so they can still develop while doused with large amounts of herbicide. Research in GM soy shows that women consuming soy on a regular basis increase their risk of breast cancer, specifically. The abuse continues in processing.

Vice presidential debate is a draw BY CRYSTAL EVANS Features Editor During the vice presidential debates both Governor Sarah Palin and Senator Joe Biden had strong points and weak points, but neither one stood out as absolute winner. Palin without a doubt has small town charm. She is easy to like and f un to listen to. And during the debate she came out with another quirky phrase, Joe Six-pack, that has already become part of the American vocabulary. However, being likeable and easy on the eyes does not necessarily make you the right woman for the job. Palin brilliantly called on all politicians who have been coified as f lip-floppers to be honest and tell the public why they vote differently today than they have in the past. A fter all, Americans do not widen the gap between the want a leader who cannot admit rich and the poor and would do when they are wrong. And a nothing for the middle class. Both of the candidates often politician who does not change their stance when evidence completely failed to answer that contradicts their* position the questions that were posed is brought to light isn't worthy and talked around the issues instead, which can only be of their position.

That depends on the middle class. Biden claimed person being asked. that McCain and Palin would impossible to avoid it, as more mainstream companies notice the craze. An estimated 60% of processed foods include soy protein isolate, a preservative. The fact of the matter is that the point of being vegetarian or vegan is to eliminate meats or all animal products from your diet, not find "innovative" ways to trick your tongue. Soy may seem like an easy way to get your daily allowance of protein, but organizations like the Vegan Society and American Vegetarian Association explain how to prepare safe, complete proteins f ree from animal and GM products. A little personal innovation never hurts, especially when health is an incentive. Illustration by Dorian A. Deptuch/The Pride Have an opinion you would like to share? Write us!

Palin supports domestic drilling as a means toward independence from foreign oil, claiming she already "broke up a monopoly" established by corporations including Exxon and ConocoPhiUips. Biden opposes drilling in favor of continued research in clean coal technology. He also maintains the position that global warming is man-made, which is "the biggest fundamental difference between John McCain and Barack Obama and Sarah Palin and Joe Biden," implying that the McCain-Palin ticket feels global warming may be attributed to natural cycles of the planet. Palin feels it necessary to take advantage of all of Alaska's oil reserves. Foreign policy discussions adopted the classic viewpoints of the GOP versus more left-winged arguments, with Palin opposing a timed withdrawal from Iraq and Biden desiring to shift responsibility to Iraqis. "We're spending $10 billion a month while Iraqis have an $80 i billion surplus," Biden continued, stating that Obama believes it is time for Iraq to spend its own money. Conversely, Palin believes that the U.S. is notfinishedin Iraq until "the Iraqi government can govern its people and when the Iraqi security forces can secure its people." Despite the expected disparity, both Sen. Biden and Gov. Palin agreed concerning gay marriage. Neither candidate believes marriage should be redefined to apply to same-sex couples, yet they do not believe a civil rights distinction between homosexual and heterosexual couples is the way to go either. Palin frankly wrapped up the discussion, declaring, "[The] question to [Biden] was whether he supported gay marriage and my answer is the same as his and it is that I do not."

CSUSM students get political General election less than a month away BY JACKIE CARBAJAL News Editor With the country's national election just weeks away, the campus is making preparations of its own to generate buzz among the local community. Today, during University Hour in Academic Hall 102, the presidents of CSUSM's College Democrats and Republicans will face off in a mock election debate co sponsored by the American d emocracy Project. Tonight, CSUSM students will appear on television at 6 p.m. in a debate held at the Escondido City Council Chambers.

"To my knowledge this is the very first College Democrat v College Republican debate on campus," ADP Director, Professor Pamela Strieker said.

"Our representative form of democracy necessitates our participation in governing ourselves. Electing our next president is one important way, but not the only way, we participate in this vital form of governance." Sergio Cruz will represent the College Democrats and Obama's position while Chasen Bullock represents McCain and the College Republicans. Professor Cynthia Metoyer will serve as moderator for the event. The prepared questions regard issues such as climate change, the economy, education, energy security, health care, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Strieker encourages students to prepare questions of their own and are asked to neatly print their questions on index cards that the * moderator will address during the "Student Q&A" portion of the debate.

Debate Questions (provided by the America Democracy Project) Climate Change According to the current US Environmental Protection Agency website, "For over the past 200 years, the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, and deforestation have caused the concentrations of heat-trapping "greenhouse gases" to increase significantly in our atmosphere. These gases prevent heat from escaping to space, somewhat like the glass panels of a greenhouse." What specific policy solutions do you have to deal with climate change (both human-caused and natural)? (Source-US Environmental Protection Agency website, accessed Sept 2008).

That's 25% of the world's oil consumption. Oil production in the United States peaked in the 1970s (both on and offshore). This year 80 percent of our oil has been imported (from Canada, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, etc). How specifically will you reduce America's dependence on foreign oil?

Palin also made a point to accuse Obama of being "pals" with domestic terrorist, William Ayers. "This is not a man who sees America as you and I see America. We see America as a force for good in this world. We see America as a force for excep- tionalism.. .Our opponent though is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough that he is paling around with terrorists who would target their own country," Palin said.

Wade decision as he is pro-life and believes that the power to either legalize or outlaw abortion should be left up to individual states. Crime and Punishment: McCain believes that crimes should be investigated fully and criminals should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. He plans on increasing the number of police officers on the streets and redistributing funds based on merit and need. Education: McCain believes that parents should have the right to send their children to schools that will be safe and give them the best possible education. He wants to make it possible for parents to send their children to the school of their choice and not require them to attend a certain school because of their address. Environment: McCain believes that we have a duty to take care of the planet and plans to implement several policies to aid in a cleaner environment. He believes that the environment must be implemented at the local level as that is where the impacts will manifest themselves Energy: McCain believes that it is essential that America no longer be dependent on foreign oil. He supports offshore drilling and plans to invest in the research and development of clean alternative energy sources. Gay Rights: McCain believes that marriage is a sacred union between one man and one woman and does not believe that the term can be used to describe a union between homosex- ual couples. He believes that the power to define marriage is an issue that should be dealt with at a state level. Gun Control: McCain believes that the right of law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms is fundamental to this country. He believes that criminals should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law instead of taking away liberties of the innocent. Health Care: McCain wants to give every family a $5,000 health credit and a $2,500 credit to individuals. He wants to open up insurance so that individuals can cross state lines when looking for health care in order to get the best price. Iraq and Foreign Policy: McCain believes that it is essential for America to support Iraq's government until they are able to govern themselves. He believes that pulling troops out without first making sure that the government is stable would leave Iraq worse off than when America invaded.

As part of his witty charm, Edmonds built an atmosphere of joviality throughout the day of rituals. Edmonds9 magnetism made the rhythm of the ceremony one of honor and fun. By RIA CUSTODIO Pride Staff Writer When an eagle feather falls, a veteran dances close by and protects it from being trampled upon, according to the American Indian Student Alliance (AISA). The theme of the 10th Annual Tukwut Pow Wow, held at California State University San Marcos (CSUSM), offered a glimpse of protection from the traditions of generations old and new by honoring passed heroes. The Pow Wow gave truth to the natural essence of spirituality with the ambience of ritual customs. The steady beat of drums echoed through the inner circle. The beat of the center drum circle, led by Hale and Co., pulsed with the traditional pace of honor. Honor remained the key element of the Pow Wow's tradi- Native American dancer at the Pow Wow. Photo by Tristan Nickey The Pow Wow's powerful, rhythmic procession gave life to the honoring of heroes. An amazing chorus of drums thundered under the heat of the heavy sun. American Indians and on-lookers gathered at CSUSM to commemorate two inspiring leaders who passed away, "Uncle" Henry Rodriguez and Chet Hunt. The Pow Wow honored Rodriguez and Hunt for their ever-vigilant support, exemplary leadership and teachings. Karin Giron-DeCrane said, "OurHerpes have taught us many lessons...to remember that we never do anything alone." The congregation of gatherers stood in silence for a moment of blessing led by the Pauma Mission Indian Tribe. The blessing included a prayer for the honored, gave thanks for a wondrous day, and prayed for the safety of people. Once the blessing of the inner circle concluded, only Native American Indians entered into the circle. Edmonds made light of the situation by joking, "If you are white and you enter the blessed circle you will go straight to hell." See POW WOW, page 12 Palomar Administration Drops Thousands By DESMOND BARCA Design Editor balances owed to the school were administratively dropped. Lee pointed out that some of the dropped students had owed the school money for several years -receiving an education without having paid for it.

This figure amounts to just Students received official over eight percent of the 28,000 students enrolled at Palomar this notices by mail and from teachers during class sessions to the sursemester. prise of many. However, many According to the Director of students said that the college did Enrollment Services, Herman not provide adequate notice, and Lee, students who failed to pay are outraged that Palomar would choose to take this kind of action so far into the semester rather than waiting until winter break. News of this policy change failed to reach many students. Students are complaining; they assumed that their accounts were in good standing, and many did not even know there was a problem until they were dropped. Many insist that they followed the proper procedures and their payment problems were a result of mistakes made by Palomar, "I paid my fees in person weeks ago, first they said that they owe me money, now they're saying I owe them nine dollars and I'm dropped from all my classes until I pay," said Kristian Smock. "They have been giving me the runaround for over a week and now I'm so far behind I wonder if it is even worth trying to get back in." Smock also said that he had heard of other students being dropped for owing the school less than four dollars. Though according to Lee, any AIDS Testing Available at SHS By JASON PADILLA Pride Staff Writer SHS is a student clinic that offers a broad range of services from AIDS testing to seasonal flu shots. SHS will be giving anonymous, free,AIDS tests on Wednesdays between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. beginning Sept 11th until further notice to all registered students who may be interested. Registered students may plan scheduled as well as walk-in appointments. If there is any reason in one's mind about the possibility of having the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) or known exposure to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the virus known to cause AIDS, students might want to take advantage of anonymous AIDS testing available at Student Health Services (SHS), located Those afraid of needles or across the camps on the corner seeing their own blood drawn of Craven and Twin Oaks in suite 100 of the San Marcos Ambula- can avoid the needle when getting their anonymous AIDS test tory Care Center. at the SHS clinic. SHS performs an oral AIDS test, known as the Orasure test. The Orasure test involves swabbing the inner cheek of the patient with a harmless instrument, commonly a swab on a stick. This breaks off cells from the inner cheek, which are then tested for HIV. For students who are not sure about how common AIDS can be or how it can be contracted, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) provides facts that are commonly overlooked. According to die CDC, California ranks 14th among all states in North America in percentage of people infected with the AIDS virus. Los Angeles and San Francisco lead the state as carriers of the virus, and San Diego does not rank in the top 10 cities in the United States. Overall, as of June 2001, North America has 800,000 - 900,000 people living with AIDS, which is 0.3 per cent of the United States total population. Less developed countries such as Africa have higher statistics due to lack of See TESTING, page 12 student owing more than $12 in unpaid fees was administratively dropped.

"It angers me that my weekend was disturbed by administrative incompetence," said Cunningham, who needed a signature for his add slip, and drove out to his instructor's house on a Sunday to meet the Sept. 27th deadline (which was later pushed back indefinitely). During the past three years, Palomar College has been in the process of updating their computing and communication systems. CSUSM students who have transferred from Palomar may remember the open trenches and temporary telephone polls that littered the Palomar campus in recent years. Many students remember the system's renovations and the inconveniences associated with the admissions office during the transition. Due to the renovation, Palomar was not able to track students who failed to pay their fees. Now that Palomar can track these students, the administration is returning to its previous policy of dropping students who have a balance due. In recent years, students had been allowed to pay their fees up to two weeks into the semester.

Ideas about what happens after the food is swallowed seem to get lost in the appealing prospect of having a meal handed in through the car window for less than a buck. According to ABCnews.com, "Residents of the United States spend more on fast food a year than they do movies, books, magazines, newspapers, videos, and records combined." This amounts to over $110 billion annually. But as the nation grows more obese and unhealthy, it may be increasingly appropriate to examine Americans' propensity to support the fast food industry. And support it they do. The office of the Minnesota Attorney General noted, "There are more than 300,000 fast food restaurants in the U.S." When considering that the last official Census Bureau (www.census.gov) count for the U.S. population was 281,421,906, this means there is one fast food restaurant for about every 900 people in the country. At least one quarter of them is apt to stop in to one of these fast food establishments for a meal at least once per day, according to CBS HealthWateh. Americans Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation, said, "The United States eats the most fast food in the world." While this is not the most profound statement and is unlikely, to shock the masses, it is certainly worthy of analysis. The entire world seems to recognize that in the U.S., people relish supersize, ready in under a minute, bite-swallow-and-go meals.

Most people think that a resume is a summary of their college career. If that were true, 95 percent of the resume would consist of beer drinking and partying. A resume need not include everything you did in the course of your college career. When looking for a job in the field of chemistry, a person might not want to include drinking beer out of funnels, drinking shooters out of test tubes, or micro brewing your own beer and using yourself as a guinea pig as work experience.

George Oiye had a happy childhood and grew up visiting the historic headquarters of the Missouri -River, the starting point of the Lewis and Clarke expedition. Later, in his twenties, Oiye attended Montana State College where he studied mechanical and aeronautical engineering. In college, he also participated in ROTC (Reserve Officers in Training Corps) where he was captain of the college rifle team. He fit the perfect profile for a man with a promising military future, except for the fact that this was 1941, the Japanese had just bombed Pearl Harbor, and George Oiye is a Japanese American. and military record, Oiye was classified by the United States government as a 4C, an enemy unfit for military service. Of this time, Oiye states, "I felt like a man without a country." But then, in 1943, President Roosevelt issued an order to rescind the 4C order, thus allowing him, and some 15,000 other Japanese Americans, to reinstate their active duty military status. Oiye is a retired Staff Sergeant of the 442nd/522nd Regimental Combat Team, which happens to be the most highly decorated combat unit of its size in United States Army history. Known for being the "Go for Broke" regiment, because of their tenacity and don't-holdback attitude, the 442nd and the 522nd were comprised of mainland Japanese Americans and Japanese Hawaiians. The regiment has been credited with Despite his college academic breaking the "Gothic Line," an area of German fortified strong TESTING from page 3 points located in the mountains north of Florence Italy. This group of 'gung-ho Joes' has also been credited with helping to penetrate battle lines and securing many camps and sub-camps throughout Europe. As a forward observer, Oiye himself has been credited with spotting an enemy gun from an observation point 14,000 feet up and calling in Naval artillery support from sea to knock it out. In all, his team participated in 7 major ETO (European Theatre of Operations) campaigns throughout Italy, France and Germany, 5 of which Oiye was directly a part. His team was also instrumental in the rescue of the 'Lost Battalion,' where he and, his fellow soldiers suffered 850 casualties to save a unit of 223 Texans. Their defining victory occurred when they liberated the concentration camp survivors in Dachau, Germany (the location of Hitler's first concentration camp). The irony of this particular episode is that while these men were thousands of miles away from home, freeing complete strangers from genocide, many of their own families had been involuntarily interned in camps in the United States, due to the Pearl Harbor tragedy. On Thursday Oct. 3rd, George Oiye spoke to Professor Dreama Moon's COMM 330 Inter-cultural Communication class about his experiences as an American soldier both before and after the war. He commented on the strains of fighting with the Japanese Hawaiians - they and the soldiers from mainland Japan did not get along well due to cultural constraints. This, he said/ was worse than all the grenades and bullets, because he had to live with these men. For Oiye,. mainland return was a fate worse than battle. The problem was that many Americans simply could not accept the fact that Japanese Americans could have possibly helped in winning the war. It was so bad that even as a decorated veteran with a degree in engineering, he could not get a job for several years. But yet, after all of the mistreatment he endured by the same country whose values he risked his life to protect, when asked about his own identity as an American, Oiye remarked in a most stoic manner, "After your first bayonet fight with the enemy, you know you're an American." Now eighty years old, Oiye is a retired engineer and public speaker and can be seen in many documentaries and television interviews regarding inter-cultural experience during World War II. 1 should put the cumulative.

Poullard said that students should come to him for anything, "And I mean anything," he said. Upon getting the details of the concern or grievance, his first step is to call the appropriate office and explain the student's situation, after which Poullard directs the student to the correct office for resolution. * f"a water i | Case of 24 m IfwAAuT W W ^^^rn^mSm Cliff or Luna Assorted i Any Longs Brand Item j Bars 4 0% OFF! cents each S4J9+CIV !

Although some variation exists, "Red Dragon," directed by Brett Ratner, is for all intents and purposes a remake of Michael Mann's 1986 cult classic Manhunter. Both films have been adapted from the Thomas Harris book "Red Dragon," and accurately represent the novel, albeit in different ways. With its dark and alien cinematography and score, Manhunter grittily explores the deranged mind of a killer and the man that hunts him, whereas the more modern installment comes equipped with a star studded cast, goes into more depth about the characters and their backgrounds and offers a more true representation of the book. Actor Ralf Fiennes as Francis Dolarhyde. Image courtesy of Universal Studios. games employed are top notch and keep you on your feet. When a series of savage murders occur, FBI agent Will Graham (played by Edward Norton) is brought out of retirement by FBI section Chief, Jack Crawford (played by Harvey Keitel), to help catch the killer. The villain, Francis Dolarhyde (played by Ralph Fiennes), possesses a particularly dangerous combination of intelligence and lunacy accompanied with a rather intimidating physical demeanor. Graham realizes early on that he is going to require assistance in order to attempte a successful capture. Just like Clarice in "The Silence of the Lambs," Graham Actor Sir Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter. Image courtesy of Universal Studios. must also venture into the mind of Lecter in order to put an end to the killing spree. In so doing, Graham allows himself to be reciprocally probed by the renowned man-eating psychologist. For anyone with an interest in criminal psychology or pathology this film along with its predecessor and the novel are a must. The imagery is brutal, without being overly gory. The atmosphere is intense, and refuses to let you go. And the mind Actor Ed Norton as FBI Agent Will Graham. Image courtesy of Universal Studios. Although I didn't get a strong feeling of semblance among cast members, I do think that the performances by Hopkins and Fiennes were strong, to say the least. Even though the role of Will Graham is complex, I felt as if Norton's performance was somewhat uninspired. The supporting cast did, however, add a great deal of depth to this film. An especially compelling performance by Emily Watson as Dolarhyde's unassuming love interest was a breath of fresh air. Anthony Heald as Dr. Chilton, the asylum director, and bumbling antagonist to Lecter was hilarious once again. Philip Seymour Hoffman as the dirt bag tabloid journalist Freddy Lounds constituted the perfect guy you love to hate. Whatever this film lacked, as far as performances are concerned, it made up for in suspense and story line. As I consider myself somewhat of an expert on the work of Thomas Harris, I must implore you to not only see this film, but also "Manhunter," "The Silence of the Lambs," and "Hannibal." If you liked these films even a little bit, read the books, because they shed light on the formation of the character's personalities in the realest sense, the way Harris intended. �Sweet Home Alabama: More Than Just a Chick-Flick what's ironic about this situation In order to proceed with her is that the movie itself happens marriage to Andrew, she must to appeal to more than one audi- return to Alabama and finalize ence—the other being males. her divorce with Jake and also reveal to her parents her recent Reese Witherspoon as the decision to get married.

The Halloween Haunt has come a long way from where it began back in 1973, with only a few employees in costumes. Today, more than a million yards of scare cloth, 10,000 gallons of makeup, and 5,000 gallons of imitation blood have been used to decorate the cast in preparation for this annual event. performances is the Ghouls Gone Wild Magic and Dance Show, starring magician Ed Alonzo. This supercharged, sexy, and very controversial show includes a number of popular songs acted out on stage. The audience cheered on as women danced around poles and acted out the popular Nelly song, "It's Getting' Hot in Here," and if you know the words, then you can imagine what came next. This show is definitely not for children due to the adult themes, content, and humor. Nearly 52,000 people attended the opening weekend, with numbers expecting to double as the month nears Halloween. To accommodate guests for the celebration of its 30th birthday, new shows and mazes were added to the haunting line-up. Other shows include bizarre circus acts, tortuous stunts, musical numbers, and dark comedy. Zamora, the Torture King, along with his entourage, as seen in the Guiness Book of World Records and Ripley's "Believe It or Not," performs four shows a night.

Also available for guests' entertainment are personal tarot card readings, pyrotechnic and laser displays, and several freaks of nature, such as the Human Jigsaw Puzzle and giant 8-foot tall Zandrini. The Underground, Blood Bayou, Army of the Underworld, Red Moon Massacre, Horrorwood Fright Festival, Alien Attack, Lore of the Vampire, and Inquisition all offer screams and chills around every corner. Some are themed with twisted versions of fairytale characters gone bad while others thrive on the fear of more traditional characters, such as werewolves, vampires, and aliens. The most crowded attractions seem to be the Army of the Underworld and Red Moon Massacre, so if visitors plan to go, they should hit those attractions first. Furthermore, the longest lines during opening weekend did not exceed an hour and a half and some lines were short enough to walk immediately in. Although there have been more monsters in years past, the Halloween Haunt continues to get the job done. Nowhere else in Southern California are there more screams, curses, and haunts. Halloween Haunt is open every Thursday through Sunday until Nov. 2nd, and closing hours vary depending on the day. The cost is $38 for pre-sale tickets and $42 at the door.

The SDAFF created a controversial buzz, making this year's festival an overall success. Lee Ann Kim, executive director, demonstrated her talents by creating a booming non-profit film festival in order to showcase Asian artistic talents. Opening night began when Kim emphatically spoke of her number one project, the SDAFF. With a slow beginning, the SDAFF opened three years ago with little notice but instead with a dream to establish an environment of support and collective collaboration of artistic creation.

Likewise, BIT7 remains devoted to an all-Asian male cast as well as remaining a film solid in its fluid direction and strong, well-written screenplay. With the cast and crew primed for direction, all eyes lay on director Justin Lin.

Lin took a substantial risk in the making of BLT by using his credit cards as a primary source for the budget. Due to the difficult budget size, creativity and detailed planning played a large factor in the making of the movie. Lin and the crew envisioned a film for an Asian cast to break through stereotypical barriers. BLT has the potential to open a wide venue for Asians to play larger roles that do not include the stereotype in which Asians typically become characterized.

I was upset for several reasons to see that this section is written completely in Spanish. First of all, the Spanish Section completely defies the purpose of journalism. It is a newspaper's job to effectively communicate the news in a way that can be understood to those with an elementary level reading skill. One might assume that everyone at the university surpasses this level of reading comprehension, but it is unacceptable to assume that everyone fluently reads Spanish. It does not take a genius to realize that there is a significant population of students that do not speak or read Spanish, and I find this offensive and discriminatory. I am part of the student population that does not speak Spanish, and because of this I am unable to understand even the titles of the articles because they too are in Spanish. The content of the Spanish Section includes information concerning the Latino community. The Pride staff has alienated a portion of readers by assuming that the non-Spanish speakers or readers are not interested in the news in this section. I understand that here at CSUSM a large portion of the student population has English as a second language. These students were driven* to learn a second language so that they could have the same opportunities as English speaking students, and because of their hard work, obtained a level of competency that allowed them acceptance into the university. the English language that is commonly spoken in our academic community. I see this section as a problem because myself, as well as other students, have been excluded from reading a section of the school newspaper—a publication that should be available for all students to understand. The Spanish section of The Pride has disregarded the concept of equal opportunity, an area that the Latino community has struggled with for so long. Non-Spanish speakers are marginalized by this section, and if any group should be sympathetic to this effect I would expect it to be this community. I see the same problem having a German section or Asian section strictly written in those languages in the newspaper as well. The bottom line here is that this section of the newspaper discriminates against the non-Spanish speaking students at CSUSM Amy Granite by preventing them from reading Sophomore, majoring in comthe articles. I would be interested munications in knowing what these articles I realize that we have a diverse are about, and I am sure other student body at CSUSM, but it is students feel the same way. R esponse t o S panish S ection By MARTHA SARABIA Lead Editor ¡Hola a todos! Primero que nada quisiera agradecer a todos los lectores de los artículos en español de The Pride y a todos aquellos que nos han felicitado por jesta sección. Esta sección al parecer ha creado algunas inconformidades. I*o cual me hace go back to business or to be more specific yet to respond to a recent letter received by the editorial staff. I, Martha Sarabia, currently one of two lead editors of The Pride as well as the editor of the Spanish section of our student newspaper want to clarify any misunderstandings created by having a Spanish section in The Pride. More specifically, the letter I am responding to was sent by one of our fellow students. I think it deserves to be answered. (I would also like to point out that I know this student and I really like her. Last year she was a member of The Pride staff. So, hi Amy!) Before I answer Amy's letter, I have a couple of things tp say by way of a preface: Spanish is my native language. The first understandable words I ever said in my life were pronounced in Spanish. This language is therefore a very big part of who I am today. This is why it is a privilege for me to promote my language to the CSUSM community. It is unfortunate that some are taking this as a sign of discrimination. This was never our intention. But, oh well, what can we do? We can't please everyone. But now some basic points: many non-native speakers in our school that are studying Spanish, many of them even pursuing a Spanish major or minor. Then there's the group that studied abroad in Spain during this past summer: 90% were non-native speakers. I know this because I was part of this program. It feels great to know that so many First of all, journalism is not people are open minded as well a career exclusively pursued in as interested in other cultures English; it is practiced in almost and languages^ every language in the world.

Krone Tristan Niekey Leiaria Na holowaa Alyssa Finkelstein Madeleine Marshall I believe that the intent of the editors who put the section together is good, but I think that the same articles can be relayed in English without taking away f rom the content or message behind the stories. It is not an unreasonable request that all students at CSUSM be able to read the articles in the school paper, and t he only resolution I can see in this situation would be to include the same articles in English side by side with those written in Spanish. the Spanish-speaking community instead of just what I have written as an individual? (When you wrote for The Pride were you representing the English-speaking community?) Whatever I do and write should be seen, criticized, and/or analyzed regardless of the group I belong to. You are denying me the right to have what I write read from an individual perspective instead of having everything that I am count before my writing. This leads to my fifth point: You mentioned, "if any group* should be sympathetic to this effect I would expect it to be this community." I have news for you. The Latino community is not in charge or in any way responsible for this section. It was the decision of The Pride editorial team. Simply because I belong to this group and I am in charge of this section does not mean that whatever I do represents the Latino community or is something that the Latino community wants me to do. To suggest this is a misrepresentation. Why? Because I am just one person and one single person cannot repreSee RESPONSE, page 12 Letters to the editors should include an address, telephone number, e-mail and identification.

President George Bush has been gradually taking on more power in the name of the War on Terrorism, and at the same time removing more of our personal freedoms.

The repercussions of the delay were numerous, varying in severity. Most of the incidents related to the power outage were minor; however; people were trapped in two non-working elevators in Graven Hall, and another elevator in University Hall. Students in wheelchairs were stranded on the upper floors of buildings, unable to use the non-functioning elevators.

The Blood Bank prefers that students pre-register for the event by signing up in the ASI office in Commons 203, or registering by phone (760) 750-4996. Although pre-registration is not required, students who do so will receive priority on the days of the drive. "We really appreciate the support of the university, and are looking forward to a successful drive," says Lilian Gonzalez, Donor Recruitment Consultant for the San Diego Blood Bank. Every CSUSM stu3ent that donates blood will receive a Red Cross Hawaiian print t-shirt. All students that are interested are encouraged to contact Jocelyn Brown at (760) 750-4996.

Senior Dulee Solis, however, took a chance, and studied her theater major at Russia's Saint Petersburg State Theater Arts Academy. She learned of this opportunity when she took a theater arts class with Professor Marcos Martinez, from the Visual and Performing Arts Department. Martinez had invited the Academy's Sergei Tcherkasski to teach a theater workshop at CSUSM, which Solis attended. To express her thanks, Solis wrote Tcherkasski a thank-you note. After he received the note, Tcherkasski suggested that Solis study in Russia, and within a year, after finishing what was left of her time in the Navy, she decided to spend a semester studying at the Academy. "My experience in Russia showed me that, in America, we are' a pretentious society," said Solis. "In the work place we smile at strangers and give great customer service. We are dependent on each other's emotions and reactions. We, as Americans, have to be liked by everyone and are affected if we are not. In Russia that is not the case." Solis said her time spent in Russia was enjoyable, yet drastically different from America. She said some of the differences she noticed included few people smiling, a no-return shopping policy, and non-existent customer service. Solis said she also felt that the younger generation seemed to be more positive toward foreign students than the older generation. "Everyone is very educated," said Solis. "There is a great respect for teachers, elders and authority in general." Dule Solis, center, with friends in Russia. (Courtesy photo/Dulce Solis) Saint Petersburg State Theater Arts Academy is well known and is thought of highly in Russia. The Academy's focus is education and theater; the school is comparable to Julliard in the United States. The ages of students studying at the Academy is 17 to 27. Classes are held Mondays through Saturdays, from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. On Sundays, students are f ree to rehearse on their own time. The curriculum includes acting, singing, voice, speech, acrobatics, stage movement, dancing, history, English and literature. Some of Solis' interesting and abstract acting projects involved working with imaginary objects which enhanced the feeling of being "in that moment in space", monologues, and a project in which she gave animal characteristics to a character in a play. At the Academy, students also have what is called a "Master", who closely follows the development arid growth of each individual at the Academy. Solis completed her semester at the Academy with final exams, and received a perfect score of 5 out of a possible 5. Reflecting on her semester spent in Russia, Solis said, "Although I went to the Academy for acting, I learned more about myself as an American." Solis, who is married and a Vista resident, plans to audition for her master's degree at Julliard, Yale University or New York University after her June graduation. Campus Police Install Blue Light By MIA ALIO Pride Staff Writer Many CSUSM students, faculty, and staff make a long trek to their cars every night. After a long day of work and classes, however, many of them may not be aware of their surroundings or the possible dangers they could face during the evening. If an individual is faced with an emergency while making his/her trek to the car, the parking lots are equipped with special direct dial "blue" light telephones, which allow a person to be connected with a University Police dispatcher. University Police stressed that the "blue" light telephones are for emergency use only. To help prevent any students, faculty, or staff from misusing the emergency telephones, University Police offers personnel escorts to and from vehicles and buildings. The University Police is an official police department on campus that currently has 10 sworn officers at their disposal. Tom Schultheis, chief of University Police, explains that a sworn officer can provide appropriate enforcement and has the power to arrest a person. The officers can also activate fire and medical assistance. In the past three years that Chief Schultheis has been with CSUSM, he said he cannot recall any reports of an attack or rape on an individual. Chief Schultheis said that the department's purpose is to provide a safe environment for the campus community and to be as visible as possible. He also said that there is a police officer on foot-patrol 24 hours a day. The department is available 24 hours as well, and is located in the University Services Building on the eastside of campus. Those who would like to access the police escort service are asked to call 750-4567, or dial extension 4567,. on campus. A mural honoring the past and celebrating the future of CSUSM was placed near Founders' Plaza for Homecoming Week; a student looks on. (Pride photo/Victoria Segall) Power Outage Causes Students to be Trapped in Elevators; Dome Unable to Sell Food, Writing Center Shuts Down, Students Lose Work on Computers »Articke cont. from pg l police dispatch for assistance," said Blair. "We would do everything we could to ensure the safety of the person stranded. Every situation would have to be assessed individually," said Rose Kelly, a University Police dispatcher. When asked what precautions the university is taking to accommodate disabled students during power outages or emergencies on campus, CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez said, "I will follow up with my own questions as to our capacity and abijity to meet the needs of disabled persons in the event of a power outage." Charles Walden, of Facilities Services, explained why the outage occurred: "The Central Plant, which supplies the heating and air conditioning for the campus, was recently expanded to handle the additional requirements of the new buildings currently under construction. While testing the new equipment on Wednesday, the added load caused a short in the new electrical switchgear, which in turn caused the main electrical system to shut down. This resulted in the loss of power to the entire campus." Walden added that Facilities Services has installed additional circuit protection in the new switchgear to avoid future power failures on campus. CSUSM has emergency generators in University Hall, Science Hall, Craven Hall, and University Services, in the case of an incident like Wednesday's or worse. "The emergency generators for University and Science Halls came on and worked as designed. The generator in Craven also worked properly; however, the 'automatic transfer switch' that allows the building to accept the power failed," said Walden. The failure of the working automatic transfer switch caused the elevators to stop working. Facility Services scheduled a test for Sunday morning to try and diagnose the problem and repair it as necessary. In University Hall, back up generators were able to provide energy to the elevators; two people were stuck in one elevator. It began to function again by 11:19 a.m. Walden said that an emergency generator was not included in Academic Hall's design when it was built, because of funding. There is also no generator in the Commons area. "The original design of Academic Hall, which was approved by the California State University normal construction plan approval process,, was not built with an emergency power generator," said Blair. "Therefore, the elevator will not operate during power outages. This is a temporary situation, which is planned to be corrected by adding an elevator on the southern end of the building." The exact timing of the elevator addition is not clear, but is expected to coincide with the construction of the Business Building. "The Business Building will have a power generator which should provide enough power for emergency use in Academic Hall," said Blair. The Business Building is the university's first item on the new bond that will be requested through the legislature next year. "The building will not be completed for several years," said Blair. Other problems during the campus power outage were minor. Students lost unsaved work on computers, and the backup computer system failed to activate. Classes were either instructed without lighting and media devices, or canceled. The campus Writing Center in Craven Hall had to cancel tutoring appointments due to the darkness. The Dome was also unable to prepare and sell food and beverages during its prime hours of business. �Tuesday, October 9,2001 3 H i e P ride Local News Angela Davis Civil Rights Activist at CSUSM By CHRIS ING Pride Staff Writer Author and activist Angela Davis will be a guest speaker at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido as part of CSUSM's Arts & Lectures Series, and Intercultural Speakers Series, inaugurating CSUSM's Intercultural Speakers Series.

Tens of thousands yellow jackets, which are a type of wasp, are born in nests six to 12 inches in the dirt. Thousands of these wasps, however, are caught in the neonyellow plastic traps that have been placed around campus by the facilities department. The traps have been on campus for more than a year, and contain an attractant for the wasps — not poison. "We put a liquid in the traps that draws hornets, yellow jackets, bees, and basically anything that stings," said Daniel Kraus, who works for Facilities Services. Mark Martinez, an entomologist with the county's Department of Agriculture, Weights and Measures, said that there would be many of these insects this fall, and many more during the spring. The rock blasting behind the Foundation buildings may be one reason for the increased numbers of yellow jackets this year at CSUSM, since the dirt is home for the yellow jackets. "Blasting may have disturbed them, but this year there are just a lot of them," said Martinez. George L. Jones, another • county entomologists explained the life cycle of the yellow jackets. "New queens are produced in the fall, and they're impregnated in November and December," said Jones. "The males usually die first, followed by the rest of the colony, and then the old queens." In the winter, the new pregnant queens leave the nest, then hide in tree bark, and stay inactive during the winter. "Not too many of the new queens survive," said Jones. "But the ones that survive start a new nest in February or March." The new queens will attract Bee trap at CSUSM (Pride photo/Mary Sue Webb) workers to help build the nest and to gather protein food. The abundance of vegetation in North County is one source of nectar for the adults. Many of the yellow jackets have also found food from scraps left near the cafeteria area on campus. The yellow jackets also eat caterpillars and cutworms. These wasps are not only found around the campus, but other schools, as well. In the past two weeks, entomologist Jones dug up 12 nests at an elementary school in San Pasqual Valley. "We heard that there were killer bees in Escondido at a school," said Jones. "When we got there, the TV cameras were there. But they were not killer bees, they were yellow jackets." By digging up the nests, Jones stopped the lifecycle of the immature queens. Each new queen would have produced approximately 8,000 yellow jackets by next spring. Dr. Karen Nicholson, director of CSUSM Student Health, said that there have not been an overwhelming number of students stung this year. Less than four percent of Americans, however, are hyper sensitive to hymenopterous insects, which include bees, wasps, and yellow jackets. Nicholson recommended that students visit V the WebMD.com site for prevention and first aid tips for treating yellow jacket stings: To avoid being stung, don't look or smell like a flower. Avoid brightly-colored clothing and perfume when outdoors. If someone is stung, do not remove the stinger. Yellow jackets don't leave a stinger. Elevate the stung limb and apply ice or a cold compress to the area to reduce swelling and pain. Wash the sting area with soapy water. Use topical steroid ointments or oral antihistamines to relieve itching. Normal and allergic reactions to stings can vary from normal non-allergic reactions at the time of the sting to normal non-allergic reactions hours or days after the sting; reactions include itching, residual rednessy and swelling at the sting site. Non life-threatening systemic allergic reactions can occur and life-threatening systemic allergic s reactions can occur. IRSS^ New Fellow Studying Academia Dr. Bethami Dobkin (Pride Photo/Amy Bolaski) By KEVIN HAWK Pride Staff Writer Students and faculty at CSUSM may have noticed a new face on campus - Dr. Bethami Dobkin is visiting from the University of San Diego this school year. Dobkin is one of 33 Fellows chosen nationwide by the American Council on Education (ACE). The ACE Fellow program is a leadership growth program used to reinforce the backbone of colleges and universities across the country. Dobkin will observe and learn from CSUSM academic programs, governance processes, and administrative decisionmaking processes. She will attend a variety of meetings, including the Budget Task Force, Provost's Council, Academic Senate, and the President's Cabinet. She will also have the opportunity to shadow President Gonzalez and Vice-President Dr. Robert Sheath each for one week, from whom she will gain different perspectives on academic leadership. So far, Dobkin has observed » « - tfc^ CSUSM struggle to gain an identity. "CSUSM is a young college that is trying to create a shared identity," said Dobkin. She is excited to see the process that academic leaders implement to accomplish this goal. In 1992, Dobkin wrote a book titled, Tales of Terror. "'Tales of Terror' has much in common with the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks," she said. "The book's main argument is that TV news does not encourage the spread of terrorism, but supports U.S. policy towards the use of military responses to terrorism " She also spoke about terrorism and the media during the open forum held on campus last week. Dobkin, who earned her bachelor's degree at Humboldt State University and received her master's and doctoral degrees from the University of Massachusetts, has taught at USD for the past 12 years as a professor of communication. She also is chair of the Department of Communication Studies at USD. Dobkin was encouraged to apply for the ACE Fellow Program after USD's provost approached her. The President of USD nominated Dobkin because she demonstrated strong leadership qualities. , USD continues to pay her yearly salary even though she is not teaching this year. By contract, she must serve USD for one year, and then she can accept other offers. Dobkin, however, said, "I don't see myself leaving USD." ^ H B antf tarnn then it is Wg eoougfi for oradyetffirt h rfedottan priorities are m the wrofig to Ignormg thestutentsisnntaGceptatJle m MORE MfGKMATMH. 1 BP WWWJiEALBflADUATUHl M M �Tuesday October 9,2001 5 P ow W ow Festivites E njoyed by Many o n Campus »Article cont. from pg. 1 Oceanside said, "This is the first Pow Wow I have ever been to, and I am completely hooked. I am definitely coming back. I can't even begin to explain what a wonderful experience this has been." The Pow Wow is an important part of Native-American traditions; they celebrate their heritage, and honor and pay respect to the ancestors of the past, and family and friends of the present and future. Men, women, and children from tribes including Cherokee, Kiowa, Kumeyaay, Luiseno, Navajo, Piaute, and Sioux, participated in this year's Pow Wow. Some of the scheduled events include the Blessing of the Grounds ceremony, the Grand Entry ceremony, Gourd dancing, honorariums, intertribal dancing, drumming, and Classifieds — Michelle L ee the Kumeyaay bird singers. More than 20 vendors also sold native jewelry, arts, crafts, clothing, incense, bow and arrow sets, books, wooden flutes, and food Indian fry bread and Navajo tacos were the most popular food that weekend. The Kaleo'Onalani Polynesian dancers were a new addition to this year's Pow Wow. On Saturday eve- ning, they performed several native dances representing the islands of Hawaii, New Zealand, Rapa Nui, Tahiti, and Tonga. "The entertainment is what draws you near, but as you stay and listen, you learn quite a lot," said Professor Brandon Cesmat of the Literature and Writing Studies Department. "It is just as informative as it is entertaining — a great experience." AISA also served a complimentary dinner Saturday night to express their appreciation for all who participated. "It is the Indian way — to feed your guests. Elders first, then everyone else," said Randy Edmonds, piaster of ceremonies. The Pow Wow marked the beginning of CSUSM's first Homecoming Week.

The class, which investigates the writing process through the genre of the memoir, gave students the opportunity to hear Clausen read from his book Prairie Son, one of the literary works used in the course. Students were fortunate to have a chance to ask the author questions first-hand, in addition to listening to Clausen speak. Clausen said he "remembers things in pictures, which is quite useful as a writer." He noted the drawback to such a trait though, is that "the pictures are like stains on your carpet - you try and try, but you can't get them out." He joked that the scene from a bank deposit he made in 1967 is etched in his memory. Clausen's book is a heartwrenching tale of an orphaned boy adopted into a mid-West Depression-era household, not as a son but as a worker. The book is based on the true story of Lloyd Clausen, the author's father, who attempted to write his memoirs as he lay dying from cancer in a Houston, Texas trailer park in 1980. Seventeen years later Clausen would use those notes to write the book his father could not. Although written in the first person in the form of a letter to the younger Clausen, the book is the work of the son. When asked about the difficulty involved in keeping his own voice separate from his father's, Clausen said that, "Over time, as I reflect on the book and the writing, I have come to realize that there are essentially three voices in the book: mine, my father's, and Delores' (the person closest to Lloyd). But I was not aware of that when I wrote it." In the book, Lloyd's adoptive parents (Dennis's grandparents) are portrayed as heartless, cruel, and exploitive people. Clausen's relationship with his grandmother grows warmer, however, and years later she becomes remorseful for the way she had treated his father. "It was immensely painful," said Clausen, when asked if characterization of his grandmother in the book caused any strife (though she died in 1960). "Many nights during the writing process I would lie awake deciding that I could not continue the book. By morning, though, I would realize that I owed it to my father to finish it." Prairie Son, which Clausen wrote from exhaustive detective and interview work (much of which dates back to pre-Depression era Minnesota, as well as post-Depression), contains many real-life mysteries, but perhaps none so intriguing as the question of Delores' real parents. Like Lloyd, she too was adopted, although under much happier circumstances. Yet the identity of her real parents, thought by some to be Lloyd's mother, is never revealed. The question Dennis Clausen, author and local San Diegan signs a student's book after he spoke to Lit and Writing students. (Pride Photo/Melanie Addington) still haunts Clausen today, almost three years after the book was published. He still reads census records from the 1920s in an attempt to solve the mystery. Clausen said of writing the book, "I think by writing what he could of his memoirs under the strain of cancer, Dad was making one last attempt to reach out. In writing this book, I found the opportunity to do the same." Clausen closed his lecture by signing the students' books.

Richie (Luke Wilson) �Arts & Entertainment The Pride Tuesday, October 9,2001-7 Z oolander I s Like, Really, Really Good D „ A X/V BOLASKI By AMY DAT A OT/T Pride Graduate Intern Narcissism reigns supreme in "Zoolander," a comedy that satirizes a world that exists as a satire in and of itself - the often misunderstood and misrepresented life of the supermodel. In this case that model is Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller), the excruciatingly stupid "Male Model of the Year" title holder, who, after losing the crown to newcomer and equally vapid Zenmaster Hansel (Often Wilson, Stiller's sidekick in "Meet the Parents") decides there must be something more to life than "being really, really good looking." What that something is never completely surfaces - but it really doesn't matter. Wilson, who comes replete with some sort of vague Eastern philosophy, custom-designed scooter and his very own Sherpa, is hilarious; and Stiller, who revives and reinvents his 1996 VH1/ Vogue Fashion Awards character of the same name is gutbusting at times. Refreshingly inane, "Zoolander" is a veritable smorgasbord of inside jokes that pokes fun at everything from collagen injections to model/actors (appropriately dubbed Slashies). What keeps this sort of popculture kvetching fresh is the multitude of Slashies who appear in the film, most of whom gamely play along with actor-slashdirector-slash-screenwriter-slash star Ben Stiller, making fun of themselves and each other. Note Fred Durst, Lenny Kravitz and Vince Vaughn, and one of those Backstreet Boys-slash- N'Sync people, and a bevy of others. "When a sketch-based movie works, it works really well, and when it doesn't, it really, really doesn't," said Stiller. "Zoolander" lands perhaps somewhere in the middle - the film's more the caliber of Stiller's recent efforts, ''Something About Mary" and "Meet the Parents," than that of the unfortunate "Cable Guy," which Stiller directed, and "If Lucy Fell" (No, I don't remember it either.)

Bandits By CHRIS ING Pride Staff Writer MGM's latest, "Bandits?,' offers a refreshing take on a subject seemingly exhausted: the bank heist. The yin-yang pairing of Bruce Willis' character Joe Blake to Billy Bob Thornton's Terry Collins yields a thoroughly original, entertaining experience. Willis gives the role a depth and sensibility he is not often known for ("Die Hard", "Die Harder", "Die Really Hard", "Die Hardest") but one that he is capable of ("Bonfire of the Vanities", "Pulp Fiction".) The terminally chameleonistic Thornton always crafts a character whose subtleties are engaging yet believable ("Sling Blade", "A Simple Plan"). Joe, (Willis) as the semi-macho action figure, is clearly the brawn of the operation, albeit given to reading Chinese philosophy. Terry (Thornton) is an ultracerebral hypochondriac at the mercy of the power of suggestion (a shortcoming capitalized upon to comic effect by Joe) whose intelligence makes him the brains of the duo. His sensitivities provide a plethora of plot twists and witty dialogue. Terry's best line is, "Love is like a wish that hides in your heart where no one can find it. It's also time-consuming." When disillusioned and imbalanced housewife Kate Wheeler (Cate Blanchett of "Elizabeth") lands in their midst, the film seems bound to dissolve into a 'two guys and a girl' cliche, but director Barry Levinson and screenwriter Harley Peyton work well together to ground the characters' behavior in reality. (Well, as real as Hollywood allows, in any case). Together, of course, Terry and Joe form the perfect man, and the dynamic between the three takes on energy of its^own. Joe's lovable but dim-witted cousin and would-be stuntman, Harvey (Troy Garity of "Steal This Movie", "Bohemia") rounds out the team as the get-away driver. Each heist has its own personality, revealing a little more of the cast with every unpredictable close call and unimaginable quirk. Original, smart and funny, "Bandits" draws the viewer in with the characters, yet it is the unexpected plot and witty dialogue that make the film a solid view. In the theater, the audience exploded into laughter and clapped numerous times. Do yourself a favor and go see it. "Bandits" opens Friday, and is rated PG-13 by the MPAA, with a running time of 113 minutes. �$ TuesdayrOcl,ob^r9?;20Ql Opinion War and Killing I nnocent Civilians The recent destruction of the World Trade Center in New York represents a watershed in the history of America, and in the history of western civilization itself. Islamic fundamentalists have declared war on us, and on everything that western civilization stands for (individualism, capitalism, science, technology, secularism, economic prosperity, the pursuit of individual happiness) in the name of their barbarous ideology which practices the exact opposite (otherworldly mysticism, anti-materialism, totalitarian theocracy, sacrifice of the individual to the collective). They have declared war on us. The question now is: Will we declare war on "them"? • If we do not, if we respond weakly or not at all, then the terrorists will only become further emboldened, and these recent attacks will come to be seen as just an initial salvo, a shot across the bow. We will have to prepare ourselves for much worse to come, both in scale and frequency. We will have to start worrying about biological or chemical weapons in the air, about miniature nuclear bombs in our cities. These things are indeed unthinkable — but it is time to start thinking about them. The unthinkable has already happened in New York City. In order to prevent this, in order to wipe out the threat of terrorism for good, we must absolutely crush the terrorists and everything that makes them possible. This means declaring war against the countries that sponsor, support, and house terrorists, and replacing their governments with free, pro-Western regimes. If we do less, if we simply wipe out the particular bands of terrorists responsible for the recent tragedy, we will leave intact the structure for these same countries to finance and develop a new network of terror. We know who these countries are, and we have known for decades. We must immediately declare war against Afghanistan and Iran, and subsequently Syria, Libya, Iraq, and Sudan (if they remain recalcitrant). One frequent concern is that, if we attack and bomb these countries, as a collateral consequence, innocent civilians will die. This is an unfortunate truth; but we must be very clear on the moral issues that are at stake. If it were always wrong to undertake any military action in which civilians might or would die, then it would have been wrong in WWII for the Allies to drop even a single conventional bomb on Japan and Germany. But far from being wrong, it was morally "imperative" that the Allies act as they did during the war. Consider the following situation: A criminal takes a hostage, and holds that person in front of his body as a shield. The criminal then draws a bead on you with his gun, and prepares to fire in what will certainly be a fatal shot. Do you fire first? Of course — it is fully morally justifiable for you to fire back to defend yourself, even if there is a high probability or even certainty that the hostage will be injured or killed as well as the criminal. The only alternative is to lose your own life. The full moral blame for the hostage's death rests with the criminal. He is the one who constructed the situation; he is the one who put everyone's life in danger. The criminal would have killed at least one person; you are fully morally justified in making sure that person is not you. The moral issue is identical when considering making war against a country that threatens us. For example, imagine that Saddam Hussein is developing chemical and biological weapons, and long-range missiles on which to deliver them into our cities. This is a clear threat to our safety and lives. The only real, viable, long-term solution is to eliminate Saddam Hussein and his regime, which can only be accomplished by a war against Iraq. Would some Iraqi civilians perish? Yes. But the moral responsibility for their deaths would rest squarely on the shoulders of Saddam Hussein. He is the one imperiling all of our lives (ours and his own countrymen), he is the one in effect using civilians as a human shield (something which he did explicitly and deliberately during the Gulf war). Analogous to the hostage situation described above, someone is going to die, either our civilians, or Iraq's. We are fully morally justified in making sure it's not us. And Saddam Hussein bears the full moral responsibility for any and all deaths in the situation. To the extent that civilians are aiding a dictator who threatens us, even involuntarily, we are even more fully morally justified in taking actions that might or will result in their deaths. For example, imagine in WWII that some Eastern European concentration camp prisoners are being forced to work in German munitions factories, building weapons to be used against us. Not only is it morally justified, it is morally "imperative" that we bomb that factory, regardless of possible innocent civilian deaths. Once again, the blood would entirely be on the Nazi's hands. Civilians in Iraq would be in a similar position (in the example given above), in that every productive action they take which increases the strength and wealth of the country, and hence Iraq's military potential, is a threat to us. Even if their productive efforts are forcibly siphoned off by Saddam, against their will, it is still a fact that their actions only strengthen Saddam, and pose an increasing threat to us. But, in addition to this, consider that a significant fraction of the citizens in the Arab peninsula support the actions of their governments and the terrorists. To the extent that they denounce the U.S. as the Great Satan, to the extent they are thrilled that America is under attack, they are not innocent victims. They are full and willing supporters of the killers, and this makes the civilians even more of a threat to us — and erases their innocence. They become full, complicit participants in the threats to our lives. Similarly, to the extent that citizens of the Arab countries support their governments and the terrorists, they are not innocent; and to the extent that they are innocent, they will welcome our attacks and attempts to eradicate their governments. It is an absolute, foregone certainty that innocent civilians are going to die in the coming months and years. The only question open to us is, will if be our civilians or theirs?

A guy told us that his girlfriend has managed to swoop her way into a familiar situation we like to call, "rocking the cradle " and the guy doesn't like it. She has already brought his 3-yearold son to her parents' house, and he came back saying grandpa and. grandma. The family loves this kid. She takes him to daycare every morning, buys him toys, and even a puppy. She's way out of line, especially for the first month of the relationship. She just wants to get in his pants. KIM: Ok, just because she likes a cute 3-year-old toddler and his dad that makes her a psycho? I doubt his problem is her trying to get into his pants. More than likely his problem is commitment. He's still running like a baby. Maybe he should be wearing the diapers. Grow up already. KIM: Ok, interrupt me again, and I'm going in for the kill. As I was saying, she's just excited that she thought she had met this great guy, but in reality he is just another dog in the pack that puts his tail between his legs and then turns and runs. He is lucky to find someone that is willing to acceptliim, baggage and all. AUSTIN: Doesn't a man have a say in who raises his child, and who he spends the rest of his life with? Instead of being cynical and just cracking on the guy, you need to realize she's child hungry, obsessive, and manipulative. KIM: This girl needs to ditch the dude, no matter how deceiving his charm is. In the end, he's just the typical guy, only this one is carrying serious baggage. JUSTIN: Baggage smaggage, even if he decides to ditch her, she'll still be locked in* I say throw her in a box marked "Timbuktu," and pay the extra cash for overnight delivery. Who won this time?

JUSTIN: He has a child, that kind of commitment makes a relationship look like managing a goldfish. I'm sure he doesn't mind getting some play, but she's breaking the rules of engagement.

As a matter of fact, the only aspect I found quite surprising in all of it was the deftness with which it was executed. I did not know, now I know, that the Pentagon and the White House were that vulnerable. In my humble, but considered opinion, it is time for America to, as we Catholics used to say, "examine our conscience" with respect to our foreign policy. I mean, the strongest and largest economic and military power to emerge in the 21st century, and we refuse to engage in the Middle East issues! We assume a "Hands-Off" approach as if it l\ies<ia£ G&oWf 9,20O(j'9 was a free market issue and we're waiting for the inexorable logic of the "Invisible Hand" to solve that one. On a series of issues, the current Administration consistently antagonizes not just potential enemies but also friends/ allies. Bush appears bent on ripping up the 1972 Antiballistic Missiles Treaty and setting off another arms race. America, with its history of racism, yet insensitive to its own racial makeup, walked out from mere participation in a racial conference that merely sought to rebuke Israel. What message are we trying to send to the world anyway? My-way-or the-highway, I guess. What is the charm? Rather than cooperate on issues such as the Kyoto protocol on climate change. Such unilateralist view irritates the heck out of me - a loyal U.S. citizen. How much more a sworn adversary? It makes me feel that the Bush Administration misses the point like a sick [expletive]. When the U.S. missiles hit their targets in Baghdad a few years ago, Americans cheered at how perfect our weapons of mass destruction had become. Never mind that innocent Iraqi women and children were killed. That was just too bad ... "collateral damage", we say. Fine. Africa has a number of applicable proverbs, one of which comes to mind: when elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers. But when the terrorists succeed in killing innocent Americans and the Palestinians cheer, we call them enemies/ devils. We talk like children. Don't we see? I've found that intolerance with others generates intolerance with me. It would appear that Americans know how to dish it out but don't know how to take it. Those Palestinians deserve a peaceful state to call their own just as much as Israel does. But when America vocally and unwaveringly supports Israel and sits by and watches Israel assassinate Palestinians on a daily basis, Palestinians consider America as evil/enemy. The U.S. is at one of those rare but fortunate moments in history (the lone superpower, for God's sake) when it can shape the Middle East. "To whom much is given, much is expected." I incline to the opinion that what God has not done for the Middle East, America must do. But for as long as we vacillate, no long will we pay dearly for the dubious pleasures of not having made up our minds. To turn our backs on the Middle East is at best cowardly, and at worst evil. Why the blinders? One thing is being down played in all this and that is the bin Ladens of this world were once staunch stooges of the U.S. who were discarded when they were no longer needed. We create monsters that we think we can control. You only have to watch a couple of James Bond movies to know that that is not true! The chairs are turned. We are caught in the toils of our own selfishness. So as we pray for the innocent American lives lost as a result of the terrorism and for peace in America, let us also "pray for peace in the Middle East". After all, we are all God's children.

But how can CSUSM help foster more cosmopolitan attitudes in its faculty, students and curricula? I suggest that the answer lies in rejecting the parochialism of state and region. Just look around you. In how many courses at CSUSM can you learn about global issues, histories or cultures anywhere but in the United States and/or to a lesser extent in Mexico and Latin America? It is not that these issues are unimportant but that others issues are equally and sometimes even more important. Where is CSUSM's commitment to Africa, Asia, the Middle East, South Asia and the Pacific? Or even to Europe in all its post-1989 complexity? In how* many courses can students learn about the structural problems of globalization, about international politics and transnational organizations, cosmopolitan justice and international ethics, comparative religions or comparative governments? The answer, regrettably, is too few. Certainly CSUSM's art and literature programs do a somewhat better job at addressing global cultures. We should be glad for our second language requirement, even if we are currently limited in the number of languages we are able to offer. Art and literature are important, but they are not enough. At times like these, definitions of culture centered in literature and the arts can only take us 'so far. In order to fulfill CSUSM's founding mission of global awareness, we need to do more. We need to build programs that include, indeed that emphasize, the transnational realities of globalization and of opposition to globalization in all their manifestations. The times require it. Students must also do their part. Departments will continue to be understandably wary about increasing their global offerings if students do not take the courses - especially because departments live and die by meeting their ever-growing enrolment targets. Students might fault the paucity of 'globally oriented' courses on campus, but check out their enrolments sometime. By taking these classes and asking for more, students can lead the curriculum in a new direction. Students have another role to play, for if the curriculum shortchanges global awareness, so does student life on our campus. Where is a campus chapter of Amnesty International or of the nationwide, student-led, anti-sweatshop movement? The list could go on. Right now, the campus and the nation are traumatized by the consequences of terror and anxious about this 'new' war and about what is to come. This is a good moment in which to reorient ourselves outwards, towards the rest of the world, and to demand that the campus do the same. HAVE AN OPINION?

Very simply, money spent building a parking lot or parking structure produces physical parking spaces that will last for years, decades even. However money spent on stack parking only produces parking spaces while the money is spent ~ there is no lasting effect. Stack parking must go. As we all know,, the evacuation of the school, and thus the emptying of the parking lots, is a slow process. Doubleparking cars into parking places would significantly complicate and slow the emptying of the parking lot. The evacuation of school is a contingency that must be considered. CSUSM has been evacuated before Sept. 11, 2001 due to a brush fire, and someday, will probably be evacuated again; stack parking would definitely impede the evacuation. Stack parking must go. CSUSM is a public school, therefore it is the responsibility of the administration at CSUSM to spend the money of taxpayers and students in a manner that is not wasteful, and will benefit the students at CSUSM. There is also a responsibility for the safety of everyone on campus, and this includes not hampering the ability to empty the parking lots in an orderly and* timely fashion. In the interests of both public safety and fiscal responsibility, CSUSM should provide lasting solutions to on-campus parking, not temporary and wasteful stack parking. ~ David J.

Until now you have thought that they were lost souls but we at the Committee for Common Sense have devised a strategy to teach them why force is sometimes needed: 1. Approach pampered, ignorant rich kids regurgitating washed out slogans such as "give peace a chance" and condemning United States retaliations before they even happen. 2. Proceed to engage the misguided by asking if military force is appropriate. 3. Remove silver spoon from the misguided's mouth. 4. When the misguided says "No," ask, "Why not?" 5. Wait until the misguided says something to the effect of, "Because that would just cause more innocent deaths, and we should not cause more violence." 6. At any point now feel free to interrupt the misguided by firmly stomping on their foot. 7. When the misguided gets back up to up to punch you, point out that it would be a mistake and contrary to their values to respond with any sort of physical response, because that would, " cause more violence, suggest that they explore a more diplomatic avenue to resolve iany conflict they might have with you." 8. Wait until the misguided agrees and promises not to commit additional violence. 9. This time kick the misguided in the shin. 10. If necessary repeat steps 6 through 9 until the misguided understands that sometimes the only way to end violence is by a violent response in the name of peace. *Note, This is a theoretical model to disprove peacenicks. In no way is the Committee for Common Sense advocating violence towards any person or groups. As a free person in a free society, we must respect others First Amendment Rights, including their rights to be stupid. Further, as a free person you bare full responsibility for your actions. Darren Marks V alium f or A merica By JUSTIN ANDREWS Pride Staff Writer Have you noticed the American esprit de corp lately? We all want to fight. Most people's attitudes are sitting on a lookout tower ready to snipe anyone who infringes their space, opinion, freedom of speech, or any other American ideal. What happened? Since those shit heads attacked us, everyone has had so much unfocused, pent-up anger, and now we seem to be subconsciously taking it out on each other. In conversations, you can't make a joke about the President without someone throwing the stink eye at you. So out of curiosity, I sported my "I Voted for Gore" shirt, and walked down the Pacific Coast Highway in downtown Oceanside just to see what kind of response I'd get. I got the stink eye from just about everyone, not to mention a group of marines who made me remove my shirt and watched me as I walked away to be sure I didn't put it back on. Around the corner an elderly couple told me how fortunate this country was that Gore wasn't elected because we all might be dead right now. After a few seconds, I realized the old man wasn't making a joke, so I abruptly curbed my laughter and saw how serious this problem was. Everyone has been more argumentative, more opinionated, and less willing to listen than I've ever experienced in the 21 years I've been here. It's right here at Cal State San Marcos. Without going out and looking for trouble, like me, you may just want to pay attention to the last few editions of The Pride student newspaper. For example, in a recent special edition concerning the attack, some students wrote that they were very disappointed by the way the fraternities behaved on the morning before school was evacuated, and continued to call, playing music and conducting fraternity business ignorant and apathetic acts. I don't know if anyone knew what they were doing that morning. Everyone was in shock, and handled things in their own matter, their own comfort level. Fingers were pointed for no real reason at all, except for emotional aggression, frustration, grief, or whatever you want to call it. I'm not a shrink. Of course, when the paper came out, the fraternities read this arid reacted the same way you'd expect the rest of American to act on Osama bin Laden. One fraternity member wrote an opinion back, in retaliation, to what was written about his fraternity. Retaliation seems to be the motto in the U.S. right now, but a higher degree of vengeance was added to this opinion, calling the original opinion slanderous while harshly pointing out the virtuous aspects of the fraternities that the original authors did not see. Remember, The Pride represents the students' voice. Anyone can write and say whatever they feel like, and it's nice to see students using that privilege, but we're pointing our innocent "fingers of guilt" at each other. And that's wrong. These last few weeks have been hard on all of us. I'm not going to subject you to more examples of people being ridiculous to each other, because you all know what I'm saying, in one way or another. If you don't understand, go listen to some hippie music and you should get my point. I just don't whine like that. And I'll close with this statement from a smart guy, "Americans are all colors, all cultures, all beliefs, all opinions, all emotions, all people who want the $ame right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." The Pride Graduation A Student Problem I have attended this university for the past four years and am irritated by the fact that the administration of this university takes it upon itself to make decisions for us, the students, on matters that it knows affect us deeply, and in which we would like to partake, or at least be made aware of. When I inquired why we are kept out of the loops, and why our university administration fails to communicate such vital information to us, I was told that we were supposed to find out from ASI (Associated Students, Incorporated). When I asked them why they did not inform us, they didn't answer me, and told me that I should speak to them at a later date. ASI's lack of response to my inquiry, and our graduation committee's assumption that we would be fine with the decision just goes to show that they really don't care about what goes on here at CSUSM, so long as it does not affect them. The fact that we are eight months from graduating, and that at least half of the students on this campus still think graduation is at Palomar, not Del Mar, angers me. This university's administration and ASI obviously lack in their ability to make the students aware of vital information. (True, they did send out a flyer to students who had applied to graduation regarding the venues they had looked at, but this was not until after the decision was made). They say they tire here for the students, to serve and support them — this lack of communication proves otherwise. I sincerely hope that in the future we are all kept in the loop in matters that affect us in any way, shape, or form. We, as students, should have been and still should be allowed to: 1. Brainstorm/give feedback on ideas of places we thought were suitable to hold our graduation. 2. Vote on such a place in the same way we vote for our associated student government members. 3. If we really want to have graduation on campus we should be involved in a new search for an area closer to campus, and one which we do not have to be weary of entering upon our own risk (Palomar's track). 4. We should know why, how, and what was done about searching for a place — not just why it cannot be used. I personally would like to be involved in the search for a closer-to-campus-site committee, and would appreciate support from the rest of you,. CSUSM's student body. I know I will be told that there is no way we can have graduation on this campus (lie), or closer to campus. Of course the university will lose the deposit it gave Del Mar, so be it. We should have been notified before the decision was finalized. It also amazes me that only two current students were on the committee, which searched for a graduation site. Only two out of the 2,000+ students were notified and involved in the decision-making process. Is the rest of the student body just chopped liver? Do we have no say in what goes on here at CSUSM and how it affects us? I implore you: show up and certainly speak up at the graduation open forum on Oct. 11, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. below the clock tower!

It will take place Thursday, Oct. 11 from 11a.m. to 2 p.m. at the ACD 102 Mezzanine (Founders' Steps). At this time I would like to extend an agenda to those who can attend the forum. Reply to this email with an approximate time you can attend/ would like to speak, and I will have a space reserved. Please make your way to the microphone before your time to speak comes up. This forum is for anyone and everyone who wants to voice their opinion on the graduation decision: where they think it should be held, what they think could have been done differently in the decisionmaking/location choosing pro- cess, etc. Basically, anything you have to say on/about the graduation topic. It would be greatly appreciated if all of you attended. We would also like you to sign a petition, which we will be circulating, to have graduation kept on campus. For those who cannot make the forum, please email me your concerns along with consent to read it at the forum and they will be read. Please remember to sign the petition ASAP.

She was 59. Imamura-Seyller was a cherished member of the CSUSM f aculty and a key component of the Foreign Languages program. She is survived by her husband, and t wo children. Her son is a University student i n the U nited States and her daughter lives in Japan. Imamura-Seyller taught Japanese at CSUSM f rom the inception of the program and helped to develop consistently the s uccessful program it is today. Loved by her students as well as other faculty members she always had a warm smile for everyone. Dr. Anover, department chair of World Languages said that, "Professor Imamura- Seyller's passing is a great loss to CSUSM." As an adjunct professor, she showed her dedication to the students and the language program by exceeding the traditional involvement of part time professors. Her accomplishments and involvement in the program show her dedication t o her students and CSUSM.

See H AYNES, page 2 Discussions between staff and President Haynes BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer Closing a week of discussions with the three major bodies on campus, President Haynes met with the Cal State San Marcos s taff on Friday, Oct. 5, as part of a series of open f orums to address concerns on campus.

ASI President, Caitlin Gelrud, opened the forum, introducing President Haynes t o the seven students in attendance. Haynes then welcomed everyone and opened the floor for discussion. From skateboarding fines to new majors, students presented Haynes with a wide variety of questions during the hour-long forum. Sophomore, Sara Planchon, questioned President Haynes missed a class or an event and always made herself available for her students. She promoted Japanese language and culture at every opportunity she had. Imamura-Seyller created and hosted the Japanese culture week at CSUSM, a weeklong event with several opportunities to attend talks, art displays, and movies about Japanese cul- President Haynes sat down with a room f ull of CSUSM staff to hear their concerns about salaries, personnel shortages, and distribution of labor. While student and faculty a ffairs command attention with relative ease, the staff (the smallest body on campus) does not always receive t he same degree of consideration. One of the primary concerns brought up to President Haynes centered on an overall budget shortage across the various s taff departments. As a result o f• these shortages, staff personnel are now experiencing an inability for salary growth (in-range progression), even as they face increasing responsibilities. To f urther compound the issue, departments cannot open up new positions to help delegate responsibilities to meet the demands of a rapidly growing campus. In response t o salary concerns, President Haynes concurred with the s taff's concern and explained that t he Budget Committee is " being charged t o look at and discuss the pros and cons of a centralized pool .

"It's really interesting where rumors start," said President Haynes. University hour also became a topic of interest at the forum. "I'm personally frustrated with how University Hour is turning out," said Senior Felipe Zanartu. He believes the limited time makes it difficult to plan anything. He also notices various campus organizations scheduling events at the same time. President Haynes defended the s hift from the five-day a week University Hour to the now bi-weekly setup as a compromise for each side. "Last fall when we started five days a week, there were a fair amount of students who were really unhappy with the classes that couldn't be scheduled. So I administratively made an executive decision to t ry to protect University Hour [by having it] two days a week and also provide student the access to classes they needed." During the forum, Haynes even received a question through student text messaging. The student expressed a desire for a student union on campus. A student union is currently in preliminary planning and on a fundraising priority list. As a stretch goal, Haynes would like to break ground for a student union for CSUSM's twentieth anniversary in 2010 but as of now, nothing is official. Student Christina Ahmadpour asked President Haynes what reputation she would like CSUSM to have that could distinguish this campus f rom others. President Haynes explained, "we already hear students talking about how this is a smaller campus, a friendlier campus, our faculty know students and care about them." Because the campus is only seventeen years old, President Haynes added that many of the academic programs need time to grow before they can receive more recognition. The administration hopes to continue forums at least once a semester with the potential of more depending on President Haynes' availability. Any students eager to participate in the next forum should keep an eye out for future forums coming soon. for in-range progression and other salary increases for s taff."

Back-up running back, Michael Turner rushed for a 74 yard touchdown, which proved to be the highlight of the game. Michael Turner, the fourth year, 5'10" back-up running back from Northern Illinois University, had only 54 rushing yards in the first four games of the season. The Chargers defense worked wonders Sunday, holding the Broncos to only a field goal, en route to a 41-3 finish. "I don't know if I've ever been more embarrassed," Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said, commenting on the loss.

Kenosha, Wisconsin �In Community and World Literary today's technology Series Presents: Still deciding which gadget William Luvaas Students and faculty enjoy a reading from to buy? This may help. award winning contemporary author BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, Oct. 4, CSUSM's Community and World Literary Series hosted a literature reading by author William Luvaas. Luvaas read some of his Ht-J erary work to a attentive audience of both students and faculty members. Words like "contemporary," "in your face," and "cutting edge" can describe Luvaas' style and still, there is so much more to the stories he creates. For the event, Luvaas read a short story from his book, "A Working Man's Apocrypha". The story, "A Season of Limb Fall", chronicles the eccentric events in a different Southern California than the one with which we familiarize. One such event involves a senile elderly woman arid her yippy dog being ripped into the air by a twister. The dog later turns up alive in a tree. Where else other than a literary reading could anyone really appreciate words like "alivening" and "kapockety"? How else would a "Be Sure Doggie Composter" make sense? Clearly the work of William Luvaas needs more than admiration, it makes you do a double take. Tornadoes, life threatening floods, and self-generating computers all exist in the fictitious world of Luvaas, Not only does this alternate reality intrigue any reader willing to give it a chance, it also has heart. The chkractei-is of "A Working Man's Apocrypha" are as loveable as they are eccentric and as flawed as they are remarkably genuine. Something about a literary reading brought out these elements in a way walking through a bookstore could never accomplish. Literary readings may not seem like the ideal social event on a Thursday night for college students. However, as someone who shared that same opinion in the past, I strongly recommend it. Hearing an author read their own writing aloud gives the audience much more than words on paper. The art of storytelling is an element that readers can't replicate. The next Community and World Literary Series event will showcase readings from K. Silem Mohammad on Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. For more information visit http://www.csusm. edu/cwls/ A g uide t o t he n ewest a nd s leekest i n t echnology BY ELBERT ESGUERRA Pride Staff Writer In this day and age, having some piece of Bluetooth technology or HDTV has become almost as important as having your automobile to get to school.

Sponsored by the LGBTA, LGBTQ and the ASI Women's Center the "Coming Out Monologues" will be held October 11th at 7p.m. in the Clarke Field House. According to Bryce Manning, one of the directors of the event, the title was inspired from the famous play "The Vagina Monologues". Manning said the difference between "The Vagina Monologues" and "The Coming Out Monologues" is that this is not a play, instead it is a collection of speakers talking about their experiences with "coming out". Another inspiration toward organizing this event is the date it will be held. October is known as the LGBT history month and October 11th is National Coming Out Day. Not only will this be an opportunity for the audience to learn about the LGBT community but also to understand how the community handles talking about the subject for the first time. There will be several speakers at the event including Manning. Two other speakers will be coming from Massachusetts one of them will speak from a transgender perspective and the other from a straight ally perspective. Among other speakers there are some from the CSUSM community. Living in a heterosexual world is not easy for non-heterosexual individuals to talk about the topic freely. Most speakers tell their stories about acceptance in a heterosexual society. Although the performance is about the LGBT community everyone is welcome. "I expect the audience to walk away with a sense of understanding and learn new ideas about the subject" said Manning. �L / A l vJ XV FEATURES J L /LJ ± THE PRIDE Tuesday, October 9, 2007 te we unoreDiister. net e s e * h ed Website of ALahaRi BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer , a 1 a u Cleaning up Organize your household chores •forFree! Are you sick and tired of cleaning up after your roommates? Is your place a mess because you can't compile an efficient chore list? The people at ChoreBuster.net. have devised an innovative web solution that streamlines the process of making a chore list that, in effect, makes everyone happy. Chore Buster describes its services as a simple four-step process on the front page of the website. Step One: "Enter in people and chores." A fter registering, the main user inputs the names and e-mails of everyone partaking in the chores. Options include the percentage of chores that the given person is capable of doing. The advanced options include the capability to limit chores on certain days based on work schedules and other obligations. ChoreBuster also provides the option for users to input vacation dates, which excludes the given user from the schedule for the time in which he or she is away. Step Two: "Specify how hard/ undesirable each chore is, and how often it should be done." A fter inputting all personal 0 Enter In people and chores Q Specify how hard / undesirable each chore is, and how often it should be done 0 ChoreBuster automatically generates a fair schedule of chores QScheduleemailed to you daily or weekly-no need totogin information, users next create a list of all the chores necessary. Users input the chore's name, how often the chore should be done, and the chore's rating. ChoreBuster's rating system allows users to rate the difficulty and undesirability of a given chore based on a point system that includes "Nothing (0), Easy (1), Fairly Easy (2), Normal (3), Above Normal (4), Hard (5), Extreme (7), and Insane(14)." Step Three: "ChoreBuster Automatically Generates a fair schedule of chores." ChoreBuster makes sense of this feature on their website, "when you assign a rating to a chore, it means that chore is worth a certain number of points. Whenever someone is assigned a chore, they are given the amount of points that the chore is worth. ChoreBuster ensures fairness by always giving the 'next' chore to the person with the lowest score." Step Four: "Schedule is emailed to you daily of weekly - no need to log in." The schedule delivery really gives ChoreBuster its "wow" factor. Users select whether they would like to receive an e-mail with their generated chores weekly or daily, and from there an e-mail is conveniently sent out to all of the users on the account. ChoreBuster.net is redefining the art of scheduling, and making life easier for college students everywhere. m Ch clean coffee table/coasters clean fridge/freezer clean microwave clean oven clean rubbish bin clean shower clean toHel make bread mop bathroom floor mop kitchen door retrieve recycling bin sweep kitchen floor take rubbish out tidy lounge vacuum lounge and hallway 12 H anJnm Normal Hard Normal Hard Hard Above Normal Extreme Fairly Easy Above Normal Above Normal fairly Easy Normal Fairly Easy Normal Above Normal 11 Edit Qelete Edil Delete Pelete Delete Delete Delete E M pelete m m m m m E sisti E M Ostate Edit Delete E M fitistó E M Delete E M MSB Edit Delete E M Quiete Images courtesy of www.chorebuster.com Parking, Traffic, and High &as Prk No problem with a^spat I yj Special Peals far CSUSM Students ¡jj§-.

So, without further ado, your guide to surviving Saturday, Oct. 13 By Toria Savey /Pride Staff Writer OKTOBERFEST Cost: $3 or 2 for $5 Place: San Diego, specifically the neighborhood of Ocean Beach What: Yes, many radio stations have been broadcasting live from Oktoberfests all over the county for the past few weeks. What is unclear is why they even bothered. The official October beer capital of San Diego is the neighborhood of Ocean Beach. It's cheap. There's music on two stages. Sausages. Beer. Stereotypical bar maids and a whole lotta lederhosen. It's as close to Munich as you're going to get in one day. SAN DIEGO ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL Cost: $7 and up Place: Ultrastar Mission Valley (Hazard Center) What: With anywhere from six to sixteen films showing per night, the festival lasts from October 11th- 18th and can still barely cram in all the movies, panels and discussions. With films ranging into every subject matter, you should be able to get even your most closeminded friends to put aside their inhibitions about the indie nature of 'film festivals'. If you don't find something that appeals to you, I'll eat my hat. Actually, eat your own hat, because obviously there's something wrong with you already. LITTLE ITALY PRECIOUS FESTA Cost: Nothing! Place: San Diego again, this time in Little Italy What: While the cost is technically nothing, parking could set you back $7. Or there's always the trolley which will take you almost to the heart of the festa, Italian for 'festival'. With over 100,000 attendees, the festival starts on October 13th with a chalk drawing exhibition, and continues with the bulk of food, entertainment and vendors on October 14th. Oddly enough, their website also mentions sausages as being integral, though this time of the Italian variety. Little Italy is also known for its art community which is celebrated during several different annual events, and will no doubt be on display at the festa. MCAS MIRAMAR AIR SHOW Cost: Nothing! Again! Place: Marine Corps Air Station Miramar What: Quite simply, lots of planes. Maybe you have a child who would be amused. Maybe you're trying to go deaf by the age of thirty. Maybe you never got over those childhood dreams of being afighterpilot. Featuring everything from military demonstrations to wingwalkers (yes, that's just what it sounds like), there's enough to > keep the young, old, and even attention deficit entertained. ANNUAL TIJUANA TEQUILA TOUR Cost: OkrPricey. $39. Place: leaves from Old Town Transit Center, San Diego What: Perhaps you don't drink tequila. That's a shame. But it leaves plenty more for the rest of us. While this tour is definitely a little expensive, you travel to Mexico by bus and arrive as the Tequila Expo, a holy land for aficionados, where you can taste over 100 different tequilas. Actually, it's unlimited tasting of 100 different tequilas. Did you catch the UNLIMITED part?!?

Well worth the drive. Happy Hour at the Belly Up Tavern: For you AND your grandma BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER Pride Staff Writer This week my assignment was to check out the Belly Up Tavern's happy hour. Every Friday the Belly Up has a happy hour with a live band, dancing and a cheap five-dollar cover charge. The Belly Up Tavern is a North County treasure, located in the heart of beautiful Solana Beach. The happy hour session is from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Fridays. There's a different band scheduled for each session. A 21-year-old age limit is enforced in the tavern. I had been to the Belly Up before and found the intimate venue to be an entertaining local spot to see a show in North County. However, to my surprise, the Belly Up hapgy hour caters to a more mature crowd. There weren't any drink specials or food specials for the happy hour. The only budget advantage was the five dollar cover charge. Fortunately, the band was extremely entertaining. As a "nostalgia" band, they were experts in all kinds of party dance classics from the 40's to the 90's. Five men and two women were all wearing costumes and energizing the crowd. One of the women was playing the sax while the other did vocals. The men played keyboard, vocals, upright base, guitar and drums. Everyone able to dance was dancing. It was enjoyable to see people take pleasure in themselves, even though I felt like a junior high kid at the senior prom. Next week on Oct. 12, there will be a band called The Fabulous Pelicans who are also a party dance music band. The following week, Oct. 19, the Bayou Brothers will be playing. The Bayou Brothers are a Louisiana dance band that will leave you craving gumbo shrimp and dirty rice. For those of you who enjoy people watching, I encourage you to head down to happy hour at the Belly Up as a pre-party to your Friday night. 2 fflE9 Images courtesy San Diego Asian Film Foundation, US Marine Corps, Little Italy Associaton, Tijuana Tourism Board H IP H OP The Dream Merchant 2 9TH WONDER This hip hop beat-specialist has produced for hip hop artist as underground as Little Brother and as overground as Jay-Z.

All is right in the universe. The latest offering by the Farrelly brothers is "The Heartbreak Kid", where farts, crazy sex, and inappropriate language by old men are what keep audiences in their seats. Stiller is Eddie Cantrow, a 40year old sport shop owner looking for love. It doesn't help that his father, played by real life dad Jerry, is encouraging him to "live life" - which in his definition means sleeping with as many women as possible. Love in this case comes in the form of a bombshell named Lila (Malin Ackerman) who at first glance, looks like a sweet- heart until the jaws of marriage brings out the ultra-neurotic nature in her, as well as Eddie. Eddie immediately regrets his life altering decision in marrying Mrs. Wrong after a Mini Cooper road trip to Cabo San Lucas where Lila sings the lyrics to all songs on the radio. Not just popular songs, but every song. It's after a serious (and I mean serious) sunburn mishap that Lila is locked up in the room for most of the honeymoon, Eddie meets another sweetheart in Miranda (Michelle Monaghan). They find solace in each other and by this point, the movie begins to feel almost recycled with love triangles and coincidental disasters. Carlos Mencia also stars in the movie as a stereotypical, sleazy hotel worker. He does more to hinder the film oppo- site the bouncing dialogue between Stiller and elder-Stiller. Stiller still plays the role of the hopeless good guy we want to root for and it's something that doesn't seem to get old. He brings a great exuberance to the loser role that suits his acting well. The film is a remake from 1972 film by Neil Simon. Rest assured that the Farrelly brothers have not lost a step in purveying their sense of humor to moviegoers, but it feels more like the kind of humor we got from "There's Something About Mary". I t's cool, but it isn't groundbreaking humor like what we see these days like in "Borat", "The 40Year Old Virgin" and "Superbad". The directing duo does a great j ob i n casting every role just right in the film. People shouldn't have to worry that all the good comedic moments are spoiled by trailers and commercials. There's enough substance that satisfies, such as a certain donkey scene. Comedy is the Farrelly's muse, and comedy is where their success will always be seen. Let's hope that Peter and Bobby never decide to commit career suicide by directing a drama or action movie. Image courtesy of DreamWorks LLC cano, and the sun.

George's Burger? cy c^ BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer By George, I think they've got it! Don't be fooled by the simplicity of the name. George's Burgers is one of those few places that has escaped the infinite pit of generic burger joints whose food is as bland as the Joes, Bobs, and Chucks, they're named after. George's Burgers is a modest place located on N. Las Posas Road, j ust o ff the 78. While it may not be the most epic burger in San Marcos, George's Burgers will stand toe to toe with the veterans if called upon. This place couldn't be any more perfect for the wayward CSUSM student, catering to even the most discerning palette with a frighteningly diverse menu. At George's Burgers, you will undoubtedly discover the most unholy of the fast food trinities: burgers, Mexican, and Greek Food. George's Burgers also boasts a fairly thorough breakfast menu. When Samuel Morse dispatched that immortal utterance-"What hath god wrought?"in his first telegraph transmis sion, it was because he had just read the menu at George's Burgers. While George's Burgers' methods are daring and perhaps blasphemous, it is improbable if not impossible for you to not enjoy something there. Since it is a burger place first and foremost, I decided to try the quarter pound special burger. Expecting a humble quarterpounder, you can imagine my surprise when this colossal behemoth invaded my face. A fter the initial shock, I soon discovered this burger to be a gentle giant, a stable and calm blend of ingredients. It is a harmonious celebration of unrivaled equality where no element of the burger overwhelms another or the rest. The hamburger meat has a faint spice that contributes to the innovative dynamic of the burger. In similar fashion to the burger, the f ries are beastly slabs of potato. While they are fairly generous in flavor, they don't harbor excess grease that can often times overwhelm a French fry. I definitely recommend you pencil George's Burgers somewhere into your list of places to go before you die, preferably somewhere between your 10:15 a.m. History class and your trip to The Great Wall of China.

Still, the CSUSM community is familiar with the changes each new school year brings. Last year, CSUSM launched its new and improved website. In years past, parking structures opened, bur colleges offered new majors, and public transit advanced. This fall, CSUSM brings both a new logo and Windows Operating System in addition to a thirty percent fee increase and ten percent pay cuts to staff and faculty. With the country still tackling an economic recession and the state of California in a budget crisis of its own, cuts to the Cal State University system forced faculty, s taff, and students to essentially pay more for less as a means to operate on a budget drastically cut by 14 Million dollars. Over the summer, the budget cuts introduced a new word to the vocabulary of the campus community. In what some s taff, faculty, and even student workers will come to know as the new f-word, furloughs are responsible for the ten percent pay cut to anyone employed through the CSU system. Last T hursday, Aug. 28, CSUSM President, Karen S. Haynes addressed staff and faculty at Fall Convocation, an event that not only celebrates the accomplishments of the past year but also ushers in the beginning of the new school year. Though President Haynes tailored her remarks at the event to resonate optimism within the staff and faculty in attendance, drawing on the familiar line f rom Cesar Chavez, "Si, se puede!," the uncertainty of the new academic year is hard to ignore. While CSUSM held its Convocation, the California Faculty Association held its own alternative convocation. Though the CFA has been fighting the cuts to the budget over the past year, as the effects of these cuts take effect in the months to come, the faculty association is preparing to fight and be heard throughout the state. Furloughs Faculty at CSUSM must to adhere to the new regulations established by the State of California labor code that require professors to take nine unpaid days out of their regularly CSUSM Age: 2 0 (circa 1989) C SUSM Undergraduate Fee: $ 4,650 per year ($2,325 per semester) Auto Parking Permit: $ 293.00 Furlough Days: 9 WE N EED W RITERS I l VOL.

On furlough days, professors are prohibited to work on anything school related, included answering student emails, logging on to WebCT, holding office hours, and any other CSU-work related behavior. Furlough days thus strain student's college experience by providing gaps in the scheduled class dates and create a lack of consistency that students expect from professors. Furlough days became adopted by CSUSM because of a need to. cut the workload and compensation by 9.23 percent, according to the CFA. President Haynes* * public address at Fall Convocation touched on the impact these f urlough days and other changes due to the economic crisis has on students. "As we prepare to welcome students back to class Monday, the joy and excitement I share with CSUSM s taff and faculty is clouded," said Haynes. "However, unprecedented budget cuts are derailing our progress, the message to students is no longer one of access, but one of opportunity denied." Haynes continued to address the problem by ending on a note of f rustration and urging parents, students and See Changes, Page 3 E arn .elective c redits B uild a p ortfolio Get i nvolved on c ampus G reat for r esume I ncrease n etworking o pportunities Interested?

Unless the student had priority registration, they would be unable to take more than 13 units in the fall semester. For most students, this was not a big problem. The average unit load of four classes factors to about 12 units. But, those who needed to take more than 13 units—due to an impending school transfer, or graduation requirement—were l eft high and dry. The e-mail does contain a link to personally appeal a case on the Undergraduate Advising Services website, but it is unknown what criteria is needed to gain this appeal. When asked, the majority Of students at CSUSM had mixed feelings about the unit limitation. "I can see why they would need to do that, to save money," said senior Anthony Carlson."But at the same time, if I needed to do more than 13 units in the spring to graduate I would be screwed. Plus I would be paying even more money to finish it in summer school!" Even though the unit cap only affects a small number of students, this action may signàfìthe beginning of a number of inconvenient cutbacks by the California State Universities in response to the state budget crisis. If this unit cutback turns out to be effective in saving Cai State money, the CSU system may employ more unit cutbacks in the future. As of August 31, 2009 at 9:00 am, CSUSM lifted the 13-unit cap for the fall semester, citing that "an audit has revealed a limited number of openings." But once these few openings are taken, the classes that some students need to take will be full. For many students, the e-mail came too little, too late. If CStJSM does decide to use this method in the future, returning students can at least kncrtv what to expect in terms of class availability for the upcoming semesters.

July 1.2009 "Cash for Clunkers" The U.S. administration announced a $1 billion Car Allowance Rebate System in an attempt to not only help boost the economy but also encourage American consumers to trade in their less fuel-efficient for more eco-friendly alternatives. Due to the high demand, Congress approved a $2 billion extension after the original funding was exhausted by July 31, 2009. The original end date for the program, November 1, 2009, was cut short when the "Cash for Clunkers" allowance was officially depleted on August 24,2009.

To others, t he ABC combo, "Desperate Housewives" and "Brothers and Sisters," comes to mind. Fans of the shows have to wait until Sept. 27 for the premieres, though their returns should prove worth the wait. In the season premiere of "Housewives," viewers will finally know the answer to the season 5 cliffhanger; who does Mike marry, his ex-wife and baby momma, Susan, or current girlfriend, Katherine? The new season should also prove entertaining as the other housewives surely mm mm m Image courtesy CW have their own melodramas to play out and, per usual, a new family moves in. The "Brothers and Sisters" season four premiere will see more of the newest addition to^the Walker family, the illegitimate son, Ryan, who, for those of us who tuned in last season, will remember, his intentions weren't exactly genuine. The .divorced single oldest sister, Sarah, will finally get some action and we'll see how Kitty and Roberts rocky marriage makes it through Robert's run for governor. Image courtesy CBS Want something to gossip about? Gossip Girl returns this fall on the CW on Mondays at 9pm, a step up from their previous 8 o'clock spot. Going into it's third season, this show has definitely turned into a must-see. Watch out, Manhattan, these kids are grown up now and off to college. What will that mean for our favorite characters? If it's anything like the last seasons, lots more drama and exciting new storylines. It will be hard to top last season's twists and turns, but with Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf finally attempting a relationship, who knows what will happen. I know I will be tuning in on September 14tb to find out and so should you. "Dancing with the Stars" could very likely overshadow the entertainment gems that Mondays o ffer this fall. Though "House" by now should have a strong enough following to weather out the rumba/jive combos of D-list celebrities, "Heroes" has something to prove considering the rapid decline its ratings have been on since season one. "How I Met Your Mother" and "Big Bang Theory" are honorable mentions, as both these shows are not only funrfy, but their earlier seasons are available on box sets for quite reasonable prices.

With shows that range from "The Simpsons" and "Arrested Development" to "Joe Millionaire" and "Melrose Place," the upcoming dramedy (comedy/drama) "Glee" is a hit or miss this fall. With season one's first episode premiering on Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2009, viewers have enough time to give this show a fair chance before missing out on other Wednesday premieres such as the CW's "The Beautiful Life" the following week and ABC's "Cougar Town" two weeks out. "Glee" made its debut this past spring, premiering its pilot episode following the "American Idol" finale to mixed critical reviews though it did pull in an impressive 10 million viewers. The new series follows a high school choir but hints at a darker story line that could prove an edgy result that is already being referred to as a mix between "High School Musical" and "Gray's Anatomy." Interesting... Thursdays this fall, "Twilight" fans have another option when satiating their undead desires. "The Vampire Diaries" premiers on the CW on Sept. 10 at 8pm. "DeGrassi" actress Nina Dobrev stars as the innocent Elena Gilbert caught between two vampire brothers, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder, thirsty for blood. With stars from "Juno," "Smallville," "17 Again," and "Lost/' critics anticipate the show to be another CW hit. Based on a series of books by L. J.

The celebration began in Chavez Plaza at 11 a.m. with the annual CSUSM student picnic and was followed by a ribbon cutting ceremony led by President Alexander Gonzalez. Former department chair Bill Bradbury took a moment to share his excitement about the new Arts building and reflect back on the beginnings of the Arts program at CSUSM and the efforts of the late Don Fuentes, who is remembered for his work early on in CSUSM's history. Bradbury hopes that this is the Arts students at CSUSM. beginning of a bright future for See RIBBON, page 6 page 4 Sports Mammoth Training for Mammoth Results Women's and men's cross country traveled to Mammoth, CÀ, for a training session to get ready for the semester tournaments. page 8 Sullivan Strides Feature article of cross country runner: Brian Sullivan. page 8 Opinion "Walking: Is it Really so Hard?" and "Feminine Composure" Students' letter to the editors about previous letters and campus issues. page 10-11 CSUSM President Gonzales and ASI President Jocelyn Brown.

The lecture will begin at noon in Commons 206, and is scheduled to run until 1:15. Dr. Moukhlis intends to spend approximately 15 to 20 minutes discussing the historical context of Islamic culture and it's relationship with the west; afterwards he will host a question and answer session in which he will field questions and attempt to present an accurate image of Islam based on his experiences. Dr. Moukhlis is in a unique position to promote cultural awareness having spent much of his life in the predominantly Muslim country of Morocco, where he earned his B.A. degree in English.

The new Science Hall (Science II) was recently equipped with 180 new Dell computers, and 100 new Apple computers have been installed in the Arts Building. According to Bill Ward, directqr of Telecommunications and Network Operations at Caí State San Marcos, "The system adds were divided up by department except for one general student lab [stocked with PC's] that IITS manages in Science II. (The new Science Hall] has several new labs for computer science, math, physics, [and] biology.". Bill Craig, (we need his title here), was unavailable for comment as to the exact numbers of computers connected in each of the new labs. The remainder of the shipments was used to refresh the current systems on campus and to replace some of the older model computers in Academic Hall, Craven Hall, and Science I. The older systems that were replaced by the new shipments have been retired and returned to the campus materials management for storage. One of three things can happen to the old systems.

The preview for the auction started at 9:30 a.m. and the actual selling began at 11 a.m. Over 150 people gathered for the annual event where items were sold on an "as is, where is," basis. The auction took place at the v For sale at the auction were computers, desks, chairs, TVs, VCRs, and a lot more. Over all, there were 400 items for sale. At the beginning of the auction, a Pentium Processor sold for almost $180.00 reported Cal State student, Ben Arnold but he said, "Later, I saw people walk away with computers for as little as $20. There were a lot of great deals. We bought a desk chair for $30." Robert Aguilar, another auctioneer, commented that the auction had a great turn out. "We had 100 lot sheets, listing the items available for sale, ready for the people, and ran out of them right away. I believe a lot of people have walked away very happy. This is different from what I usually do. I usually do car auctions. I am here to help Emilio conduct the auction and this is more fun." He also added jokingly, "Yes, it's true... if you scratch your eye at thé wrong time, you might wind up buying something!" The auction, conducted by Abamex Auction Company, was very successful. The cashier replied, "I am too busy to know how much money has been taken in, but everything seems to be selling."

According to Dr. Moukhlis, when applying for a faculty position, CSUSM was his first choice, and that after he met with students last week he felt assured that he had made the right decision. In the future Dr. Moukhlis hopes to establish a study abroad program with Morocco, as well as seeing the Global Lit. Program here at CSUSM expand. to first few weeks of the semester. The add/drop deadline this Fall is 09/17/02. Under the new refund policy students will be given up to the 60% point in the academic term (11/07/02) to receive a prorated refund. This means that if students bomb their midterms and want tt> withdraw, they still have a chance to get back some money. If students find themselves in a situation of having to withdraw from the university and wanting to get all registration fees back, there are some exceptions to this policy. Although severe medical conditions did not make the top ten list of acceptable reasons for withdrawal without penalty, the excuses that made it to the top are: a) fees that were assessed in error b) course for which fees were assessed was cancelled by the campus c) a delayed decision made by the campus regarding student's eligibility for enrollment and d) compulsory military service. It May Not Look Different, but the Dome has Gotten Better By JENNIFER ACEE Pride Staff Writer Although basically hidden to customers, many changes to the campus food court, the Dome, took place over the summer. As Aztec Shops employee Debbie Curtchianti said, "Most of [the renovation that took place] was behind the scenes/' This included an expansion that enabled renovation and upgrades. Asignificantamount of space added to the kitchen area, as well as advancements in the technological equipment systems used by the food services, makes for a better experience for customers. While things appear basically the same as they did last spring in the Dome's cafeteria and convenience store, in spite of appearances, customers may be pleasantly surprised. in the mornings and stored for the day's sales. However, now meals are cooked in small quantities throughout the day. Consequently, as Curtchianti promised, the food served in the Casa Del Sol Grille, Nana's Pizza and Subs, and the House of Tsang will be fresh, sometimes even made-to-order. Along with the positive changes, prices on some items have been raised, but only slightly - $0.25 at the most. Curtchianti says this is to accommodate ' for "increasing minimum wage rates" and any other increases in production costs. The Dome staff now claims that customers can enjoy fresher meals at what are still considered descent prices, and Curtchianti optimistically promised that more good things are yet to come to the CSUSM Dome. The selection of food items offered in the Dome has not changed or expanded greatly, but cooking methods have.

Goodbye to CSUSM, after 25 years of no new campuses." Since the opening of CSUSM, two new CSU campuses have been opened, but both of them, Channel Islands and Monterey Bay, have been built by refurbishing prior facilities and buildings, according to a Member of Its of 1990, Dr. Baker served as the first Chair of the Academic Senate. She recalls, "There were approximately 30 faculty here at that point and all of them came to Senate meetings which were very When CSUSM first opened testy." When asked to elaborate its doors to students in the fall about what made the meetings Rick Moore, CSUSM Director of Communications. He also said, "CSU San Marcos is the only campus to be built in recent years entirelyfromthe ground up." According to her campus homepage, Dr. Baker spent 18 years at .DePaul University in Chicago before coming to CSUSM, six of which were spent as Sociology department chair; She also worked briefly within the administration at Stanford University. Faculty unpredictable and highly-strung, she denied further comment. Baker said, "I was the only full time sociologist here until Bob Roberts joined me in 1992, but we had a number of terrific adjunct faculty who joined us early on so that by the time Bob Roberts came on board, we were teaching about 15 Sociology classes each term." In the spring of 1992, CSUSM awarded thefirstof its Sociology degrees to 13 students. By 1995, CSUSM had developed its "innovative master's degree program: Master of,Arts in Sociological Practice (MASP)," according to Baker. She said, "This program, which continues the focus Q n social problems, human service agencies [and]fieldresearch has been very successful in attracting students, having students complete the degree, and move on to relevant careers or in some cases to Ph.D. programs." In 1989, Dr. Baker came to San Marcos to help with the planning of the new University. She designed and launched the Sociology program in the fall of 1990, according to her homepage. Baker said, "I have many memories of CSUSM in its earliest days. I was very active in faculty governance at both CSUSM and the Statewide Academic Senate in the earliest years." Baker said that she is "very pleased to have been a part of [the effort to provide students of all backgrounds the access to a Sociology degree]." She added, "Joining the effort to found CSUSM, and in particular the Sociology program at this university, has given me a chance to make a difference." As a member of the Statewide Academic Senate, Baker said she "learned a lot about the CSU system, and the other senators gave me an earful about what they thought about the CSU starting a new campus, namely Cl a s Founding Dr. Terry Baker-Degler, Courtesy of her CSUSM Home Page sif ieds per week for a nine-month-old.

KRONE Pride Staff Writer and Sports Editor Cal State San Marcos men's and women's cross country teams traveled to Mammoth Lakes, CA, for a high-altitude training session from -Aug. 24 through the 31 of this year. The reason behind this type of training was to increase the lung capacity of the runners. In doing so, they increased their stamina making it easier for them to gompete at lower altitudes. "The thin air and less oxygen forces the body to produce more red blood cells, which increases the oxygen in your blood," senior Brian Sullivan explained. th st The course length that the women's team, runs for each event is five kilometers and the distance for the men's team, is eight kilometers. With half of the women's team, and nearly half of the men's team being returning runners, there is no reason for Cougars fans to think that this year will be anything out of the ordinary for this exemplary program. Returning runners for the women's team include seniors Lanele Cox and Camille Wilborn; and juniors Katherine Niblett and Felisha Mariscal; and sophomores Samantha Delagardelle and Manal Yamout. New to the team include, junior Megan Katlinger a transfer from U.S. Military Academy at West Point andfivenew freshman who include Ann Marie Byrne from University High School Yolanda Carillo from Temecula Valley r Sullivan Strides By JESSICA A. KRONE Sports Editor Cross Country runner Brian Sullivan is a 22-year-old senior majoring in psychology. This team leader was born in Spain and has lived in New York, Virginia, Georgia and Florida. From the ages of 10 to 14, he went to school on an American military base in Rota, Spain. He tried out for the cross country team at St. Augustine High School in San Diego. Sullivan promptly made the varsity team at his high school during his freshman year. He never competitively ran before high school; however he was a natural and it showed.

With these ¡six returning women and the six new members that are added to the squad, making Nationals, which is the goal of the team according to Coach Steve Scott, will be no easy chore. This would be due to the fact that the team will be running in what is thought of as a very competitive and talented region. Last year's team did not qualify for Nationals, but in 2000 theyfinished2 0 overall. Hopes are highfora return to glory. in the nation within the preseason National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) polls. "We have a good shot at being top five and could even win the National Championship," said Sullivan. The men's team has seven returning members who include seniors, Kris Houghton, Robby McClendon, Brian Sullivan and Omar 'Zavala; and juniors Mike Shannon and Justin Lessel. Sophomore Rene Reyes rounds out the returning lettermen.

Sometimes, he will run to the top of a mountain just to witness the setting sun. Other times, he will get up really early in the morning in order to run along the beach and watch the sunrise. Running allows Sullivan to think. " Running is a mental escape from reality, no matter what is going on," he said. fdk favorite thing to do in his spare time is to have fun with friends in Pacific Beach. He works at . a shoe store called "Running Center." He is also a private tutor in all subjects for two junior high school students, with whom he has developed a great relationship.

With the experience of the returning runners and some new talent, this season promises to be both exciting and successful for the men's team. "I feel really strong about this season, we have a big group of guys with real talent. If we stay together and focused we will succeed," Sullivan insisted. Brian realizes that his cross country career will not last forever. " I just want to qualify for the Olympic trials in 2004 then get on with my life.

Apparently the college of business and extended studies developed the hybrid in order for the university to be able to offer a competitive MBA program, as competition for graduate students in MBA programs has increased because ofnon-accredited programs and the Internet. And while some students have expressed their concern that the program problems might devalue their degree, Gonzalez has assured both students and the business community that "the quality of the program was not affected." Since May 2002, the MBA program is running on state money only. Gonzalez explained that those involved in starting up the MBA program, one of whom was Dr. Bill Stacy who was president of the university at the time, were "entrepreneurial" and "creative" and focused on trying to get an MBA program established. The report claims that the program problems were worsened by the high turnover in its administration and faculty. In the last 10 years, the college of business has sustained a loss of "at least 10 faculty members", and there have also been eight permanent and acting deans. President Gonzalez assured the media during a press conference in July, that "there was not any fraud involved" and the procedures and practices causing the problems have been corrected. The chancellor's office report did not name names and Gonzalez has suggested that the people who may responsible are no longer with the university. Former program director George Diehr said that from the beginning the auditors seemed focused on reaching conclusions that supported President Gonzalez. and act on the recommendations made in the report, and to determine if the problems in the program were caused by "errors in judgment" or if anything illegal or unethical was done and by whom. The committee was expected to present their recommendations and findings to Gonzalez within 60 days. The following CSUSM staff and faculty members make up the committee: Chair Marion Reid, Jackie Borin, Silverio Haro, G. H. "Bud" Morris, Norm Nicholson, Sandra Punch, Miriam Schustack, Laurie Stowell, and Rich Vanderhoff. George Diehr, former director of the MBA program from 1995 to 1999, and current head of the The CFA has questioned the campus chapter of California effectiveness of a committee in Faculty Association (CFA), which a few of its members rely insists there has been no misuse on Gonzalez for budget approvof funds and all the "expendi- als, promotions and pay raises. tures and activities in question Lillian Taiz, CFA vice presihad top CSUSM administrative dent, believes the committee approval."

Rancho Sante Fe Rd. �W alking: Is It R eally So H ard? By KURT B.MAYER Pride Staff Writer Why is it so hard for everyone to walk around campus? It is true that there is a parking situation underway at this university, and that there is such an abundance of vehicles that the main entryway is lined with cars from end to end. In this congested state it would seem logical to simply park wherever there was the least amount of confusion and the most available space, even if it was a further walk. Yet this does not seem to be the case.. Like many students, I myself have fallen prey to the "vultures" which scavenge our parking lots looking for the closest possible space. The feeling of being stalked is quite clear when it happens. An ominous presence overcomes you, like you are being watched. You slowly turn your head and see a blue Honda civic trailing you, pacing you. You can try to dodge the scavenger by cutting through Indeed, the campus has needlessly delayed in constructing an accommodating parking facility for both students and staff, thus allowing the vultures to multiply and run rampant through our parking lots. Perhaps the funding is simply not yet present for a five, level garage. Yet the campus still decides not to blacktop one of the neaiby vacant fields, if only for an immediate-term solution. I have paid my $62 dollars for a parking permit Yet to spite thè game and avoid the vultures, I proudly display my red token ASI and its Rules Recently, ASI asked one of the student representatives elected last spring to resign. Evidently, she did not attend a "mandatory" ASI retreat over the summer because of family obligations that required her to leave California. I understand the reason for the retreat was to provide the new officers with information they will need as student representatives. I believe, however, the ASI is not acting in the student body's best interest when it adheres to average, I find it takes less time to hike the distance than to hunt for a parking space. Despite -this simple reasoning, as I hike up Craven Road I see countless others foolishly wandering into the vultures' lair, and I shake my head in bewilderment. Once again, I ask you: why is it so hard to walk? Walking is good exercise! In addition to doing two hundred repetitions on the- built-in California State University Stair Master, the extra twenty to forty pounds of books each student carries offers a slightly more extensive workout — and that's great for your heart and lungs! Plus, we have more time to talk on our cellular phones and bask in the warm September sun. to the next aisle where your car is really parked, but the scavenger will quickly circle around the bend and be there, waiting for you. Only when you reach the safety of your car and vacate your parking space with immediacy will the vulture back off — slightly. The instant you are clear the vulture dives in and seizes the precious parking space. rigid rules instead of applying common sense when conducting business. Although she ran for a relatively minor position, the student in question received more votes than any other candidate did. If she resigns, her post will remain vacant until it can befilledby an appointee. In other words, someone who did not run for office can replace someone elected by the students, although neither attended the retreat. Where is the logic in that kind of thinking? from the parking lot of the "P" building on the far western edge of Twin Oaks Valley Road. I then proceed to hike up the And whose rule is this mandatory retreat anyway? If ASI made the rules, then our elected leaders can certainly make exceptions. If the school is making the retreat mandatory, then I believe a serious conflict of interest may be occurring. Try to follow my logic on this point. Raise your $62 dollar parking permits high, and climb the Cartoon by Desmond Barca university mountaintop. (Just be sure to watch out for the preying vultures.)

If the school foots the bill for the retreat, that would place the administration in a position of paying our student government leaders to act in a certain manner. The ASI would then lose its autonomy to the university that places restrictions on who can run for a student government office. LETTERS The school tells the students running for office that if elected they must attend a mandatory retreat. The retreat indoctrinates the students on how the school operates so that the student leaders can interface with their the student could have served in her position without attending the retreat. She and the people who voted for her deserve better. I would appreciate a response from the ASI on this point.

In fact V V last \ JMSLjustmonth Aj ^roiOK. I \X V\ \ j «k m id f ^S^W^ 3 ^/MPI wf m was m discussing this subject * with my friend, who graduated from SDSU three years ago. We both meet plenty of guys, and girls for that matter, when we go out. Yet we never really met many people at college. After reading Eric's article Male Angst I realize we are not the only ones who wonder why. My friend, Nicole and I are both fit blondes and don't have any problems picking up on guys if it is necessary, but actually it has never come to that. Even though it is 2002, girls still like it when guys make the first move. Now that doesn't mean using some lame pick-up line on the girl sitting next to you in class, college girls are too smart to fall for that. Since the guys at CSU i are also very intelligent why not use your brains to strike up an interesting conversation. Though the idea of a party always appeals to me, in fact love to throw them. But every time I do throw a party it requires some investing for drinks and appetizers and if you invite people that you don't know then you have to make sure that there is someone big enough to throw anyone out who causes a fight. Plus you have to make sure that no valuables are left out in case a thief happens to get word of the party, and we haven't even But she did something that most people at CSU rarely attempt; she sat at my empty table and started up a conversation. gotten to the idea of thé police coming. Because even though I like to give mankind the benefit of the doubt that these things won't happen I would be ignorant to believe that the possibility isn't out there. Anyone who has thrown more than one party of 100 people or more knows what I am talking about. Now don't jump to conclusions here, I am not against anything that Eric said I am here to give suggestions from a single girl's perspective. In fact I would like this to continue on to a weekly column. But it doesn't have to be for just single people. I think that the whole school could use some help on getting to know each other better. For those 21 and up, there are great clubs that host 'college night' in which anyone with a student ID gets a discount on drinks. For those under 21, we could have a weekly posting of the best movies out and plan a CSU night starting at a local restaurant and ending at the theatre. Yet the best way to meet people from CSU is at the cafeteria, even though I have never formed a relationship with anyone there, In fact the only person who actually suggested going out was a girl from Greenpeace, who didn't even go to college. She didn't 'pick-up' on me because I'm really only attracted to men. But she did something that most people at CSU rarely attempt; she sat at my empty table and started up a conversation. Luckily we had common interests. So she invited me to meet her friends at á club downtown that weekend She even wrote down the directions and time they were going. If a guy were to make the same effort I would have been even more willing to go. Yet there are two key things that guys should remember when taking such an approach, First, it is good to find a common interest and keep a conversation going for a little while, or wait until after you have met up with the girl more than once before asking her out. Second, girls feel more comfortable in groups, or if they are at least given the option to bring a friend. So ask her and her friends to meet up with you and your friends! Anyhow the first step begins with you; yes you, whoever you are. If you want to meet more people you have to approach them with some wit or topic of conversation beyond, "hey babe, you want to go to a party with me".

A junior majoring in communication and a snowboarder, Zíngaro was scheduled to attend CSUSM classes on Wed. but never showed up. In addition, he never went to work at Tony Roma's restaurant in San Marcos to what would have been his second day on the job. Before disappearing, Zingaro called his employer to let him know that he would be late because he needed to come to CSUSM. He said that he needed to make some arrangements for a class. "He called and said he was going to crash a class and he was running late," said one of Zingaro's co-workers. Although Zingaro has not been seen since last Wednesday, his belongings, which include schoolbooks, clothes, and his surfboard, are still in his apartment. Both of his parents have said that he is not the kind of person to disappear without calling and that he kept in close touch with them as well as with his younger brother. However, the police do not think there is anything unusual about his disappearance, other than that he has turned up missing. There is no suspicion of foul play. starting classes.

Go Greek day featured performances by bands Agent 51 and Handful. "Agent 51 is to-thebone rock and roll," said Sean Scura, bassist and vocalist for the band. Agent 51 also includes Eric Davis on guitar and vocals, Mike Levinson on drums, and Chris Armes on guitar and lead vocals. Agent 51, who hail from Poway, have been playing together for seven years. They have played at venues including Cannes, Epicenter and Palomar College, and will tour the U.S. in November. Their new CD, "Just Keep Running," was released July 19. The band Handful also played. "It was cool to come back here and play," said Handful band member, Zack Walters, an alumnus of CSUSM, "I graduated in the spring and now see a lot of new faces." Handful members include Walters on lead vocals, Conor Volk on drums, and Eric Gaskell on bass. Handful has been playing together for more than two years.

The new program would have given Escondido residents a direct bus route to Cal State San Marcos. The proposed bus route, 347, would have replaced bus route 383. The original date for the start of the service was Sept. 16. However, NCTD and coach operators were unable to agree on a contract. On Friday, coach operators voted against a contract proposed by the NCTD. Many of the coach operators said the NCTD was " . . . not being fair, they have to pay us what we deserve, many administrators make more money than we do." "Passengers should have faster trips, enjoy more convenient service on main routes, and see more comfortable bus stops over time," according to an NCTD booklet publicizing the service. Meeting Our Future Transportation Needs By CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Feature Editor North County residents attended a workshop on Saturday to assist the California Department of Transportation's development of a federally mandated, 20-year California Transportation Plan (CTP) for 2025. Kimberly Weinstein, chief of the system-planning branch, said that she was surprised to see low turnout. 50 people attended the workshop. "We were.expecting a lot more people," said Weinstein. San Marcos residents who participated in the workshop stressed their desires for a more accessible and safe transportation system. Solana Beach and Del Mar residents want better community environment. The CTP is a long-range transportation plan that will address local, regional, interregional, and international transportation issues. "The plan is to make every dollar count to improve mobility," said Jack Boda, Interim District Director of Caltrans. The CTP Public Participation Program reaches out to various communities throughout California to learn the public's views on transportation issues, including the improvement of highways, streets, rails, and transit systems. Charles Anders, President of Strategic Initiatives, conducted an audience survey with the use of interactive audience technology, which is similar to online polling. According to his results, the important transportation needs for the public in 2025 include: viable transportation choices, and affordable, accessible transportation. "Every community is different and we understand that there are different needs, that is why we are conducting this survey to try to reach all needs," said Anders. The California Department of Transportation-District 11 and the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) presented the workshop. The CTP will host two more workshops, olie in San Diego and another in Imperial County. The CTP will draft a plan and policy review and will return in the winter of 2001 with a final draft for public review and comment.

They contend that although the conference has not progressed as planned, they will continue to discuss ways to mend past racial wrongdoings and acceptable ways to deal with ethnic diversity around the world. The remaining delegates said they have not lost hope. The conference is designed to look at and celebrate cultural diversity, but was hindered by the focus on the Israelis' treatment of Palestinians, and the question of the West paying reparations to past victims of slavery. When the U.S. pulled out from the conference, the action sparked mixed reviews from conference attendees. AfricanAmerican protesters said they wondered why the U.S. would not compromise and continue with the talks, and delegates said there was no room for a compromise. "This is not a question of persuading people. This was a question of an iron wall ... ," said delegation member and Calif. Representative, Tom Lantos. On the other hand, Mary Robinson, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights who organized the conference said, "There is a good sense that we are back on course." Last week the U.S. joined Israel and backed out of the World Conference Against Racism, held in South Africa. Before the conference started, the U.S. and Israel warned that they would not participate if the offensive language in the documentation, labeling Israel as "a new kind of apartheid," was not removed. Secretary of State Colin Powell said, "I have taken this decision with regret because of the importance of the international fight against racism and the contribution that the conference could have made to it." The European Union, in addition to the U.S. and Israel, questioned the criticism of the Israeli nation, but they decided to continue talks on a promise from the delegates to re-draft conference documents. The re-draft used Thursday acknowledged a forced occupation of Palestine by Israel, but no longer labels Israel as racist. Since the change in the documents came at such a late time in the conference, delegates from the remaining groups said they wonder if there will be any progress.

Goldstein is part of the women's lacrosse club, the newest addition to campus clubs this year. Rachel Acfalle, another student and lacrosse player, said, "Right now it (lacrosse) is an extracurricular activity." Lacrosse is a spring sport that combines soccer, hockey, and football. The total cost for the lacrosse equipment, which includes the sticks and shoes, is about $100 per student, according to Goldstein. There are approximately 20 women in the club, according to Acfalle! The players explained that men's lacrosse is slightly rougher playing than women's lacrosse. The women focus, for example, more on running and using their hands and sticks to catch the ball, while the men play the game more as if it was football. Although official practice will not start until February, women interested in joining the club have begun to practice and use the sport "as a way to release stress," said student Shannon Donahue. No information on the men's lacrosse team is available this week. Jeff Cudmore, co-captain of the lacrosse team, declined an interview, stating that Brad Schmidt, Technical Coordinator for ASI, must be present to answer any questions about the club. Other lacrosse players on the men's team also denied requests for interviews during Friday's lacrosse meeting on Mangrum Track. Schmidt did not respond to an e-mail or phone request for an interview. Those who would like more information on the women's lacrosse club may e-mail Stacy Goldstein at golds010@csusm.edu.

Neal Gabler, a fellow critic, wrote in the New York Times Book Review, "Pauline Kael taught us how to stop worrying and love movies." Her writing was considered provocative because of her originality and the steadfast nature of her opinions.

Recently an individual who works for the student government on campus attempted to stonewall The Pride by instructing a group of students not to communicate with Pride reporters. Whether this decision was made to cover up any wrongdoing is not known at this time, but what concerns the student newspaper staff the most is that the students gave up their freedom of speech so willingly. We understand that students make their own choices. Those who choose to give up their rights do so of their own accord. Nevertheless, for those who may not be sure of their rights, we would like to explain them - with the help of information from the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union). Taking control of a student's ability to discuss matters with The Pride is a serious offense to the editors and to the readership of the student paper. We understand that people will try to conceal information. But any attempt to keep individuals quiet, especially students whose stories may be told in print, silences their voices and hinders freedom of expression. Students' voices must be heard, especially in a university whose values include academic freedom and multiple perspectives in the classroom and in the daily lives of all individuals associated with this campus. WHAT IS FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION? "The First Amendment guarantees our right to free expression and free association, which means that the government does not have the right to forbid us from saying what we like and writing what we like; we can form clubs and organizations," according to the ACLU. The Supreme Court has written that this freedom is "the matrix, the indispensable condition of nearly every other form of freedom." Without it, fundamental rights, such as the right to vote, would wither and die. The First Amendment exists precisely to protect even the most offensive and controversial speech from government suppression, with the exception of language intended to incite violence. WHY FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION IS ESSENTIAL (according to the ACLU) • It's the foundation of self-fulfillment. The right to express one's thoughts and to communicate freely with others allows each individual to realize his or her full human potential. • It's vital to the attainment and advancement of knowledge, and the search for the truth. Enlightened judgment is possible only if one considers all facts and ideas, from whatever source, and tests one's own conclusions against opposing views. Therefore, all points of view — even those that are "bad" or socially h armful — should be represented in society's "marketplace of ideas." • It's necessary to our system of self-government and gives the American people a "checking function" against government excess and corruption. The American people must be well informed and have access to all information, ideas and points of view. Mass ignorance is a breeding ground for oppression and tyranny.

The Constitution's creators believed that freedom of expression was the hallmark of a democratic society. But historically, as was the case with the Red Scare of the 1920s and the McCarthy period, First Amendment rights have been tested time and again. But we must keep in mind that censorship threatens free speech. In the 1969 Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District case, the Supreme Court held that students in public schools do not leave their First Amendment rights at the schoolhouse gate. This means that you can express your opinions orally and in writing - in leaflets or on buttons, armbands, or T-shirts, according to the ACLU. "I would lean towards 'no.' It's kind of unusual to hold it at a racetrack where people normally gamble. It would have been nice to graduate on campus."

During the late 18th century, the act was used by the Federalist Party to prosecute prominent Republican newspaper editors, according to the ACLU. The early 20th century was not much better. Many were jailed for expressing their opinions, including feminist Margaret Sanger, who was arrested for giving a lecture on birth control. Finally, in 1969, in Brandenberg v. Ohio, the Supreme established a new standard: speech can be suppressed only if it is intended and likely to produce, "imminent lawless action." The Brandenberg standard prevails today, according to the ACLU. National security has been one way that the government has attempted to shield itself from criticism. The government has historically overused the concept of "national security" to discourage public discussion of controversial policies or decisions, according to the ACLU. While the withholding of information at CSUSM has little to do with national security, The Pride realizes that it is indeed a matter of the students' right to have access to information that concerns them - whether that information is about the administration, clubs and organizations, policies and procedures - or the decisions of its own government. Was this incident a form of keeping students quiet? We think so. But they shouldn't have let it happen, and we shouldn't continue to let it happen. Even a "little" thing like this has the possibility of further silencing students' voices. Do not let yourself be quieted. "Any attempt to keep (students) quiet... hinders freedom of expression." CONTINUED DISRUPTION OF FREE SPEECH The Pride feels concerned when individuals attempt to take "action that is motivated by an attempt to control, manipulate or punish past or future content." According to the Kincaid v. Gibson case in 1990: School officials cannot: (1) Censor or confiscate a publication, withdraw or reduce its funding, withhold student activities fees, prohibit lawful advertising, fire an editor or adviser, discipline staff members or take any other action that is motivated by an attempt to control, manipulate or punish past or future content. Kincaid v. Gibson, 236 F.3d 342. This law also applies to all student government officials, according to the State Board for Community Colleges v. Olson, 687 P.2d 429.

Judging from last year's results, not many. According to head coach Steve Scott, last year's team exceeded almost every goal. What about this year? The NAIA's preseason rankings are out: the men's team is rated fourth and the women's team is ranked twelfth. If you plan to catch CSUSM's cross-country team, you'd better run fast. In 1999, the team's inaugural year of competition, the men's team tied for third place in the country, and the women's team finished 17th among smaller college teams in the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics). »Sports continued on pg. 11 & was, MS %mm 1999-2000fs Cross Country Team Photo courtesy ofDebbie Dale, CSUSM Athletics Vol VIII No. 3/ Tuesday, September 12,2000 mm By Benjamin Wayne Pride Staff Writer Block by block, the area surrounding CSUSM is beginning to grow. City officials call the surrounding area the "Heart of the City"- a 1,570-acre specific planning area (SPA) that ensures continuity and compatibility of development. Local residents call it the sign ofthe times, rapid development throughout Southern California. However, to fully understand this project it is necessary to take a 12-year trip back in time. The year was 1986 and the California State University Board of Trustees had already been hard at work traveling throughout the North County trying to find a site for the proposed 304-acre university cam. pus. When it came time for San Marcos to entice the board with a spot in the city, officials realized that the site they had slated for the university was lacking one thing, a forward reaching, packaged development plan for the surrounding area. "They wanted a sort of CC&R to keep the undesirables out," said Jerry Backoff, planning director for the City of San The Future of CSUSM. Photo Courtesy of CSUSM Marcos, "so we did a plan (SPA) to establish what was permissible development." So city planners took to the drawing board to create a master plan that would be later referred to as the "Heart of the City." The new master plan promised continuity of land use and design, as well as an increased focus of public services and adequate circulation for the area, should the university locate i nSan Marcos. The specific parameters of the plan included: 645 acres set aside for single and multiple family homes; 108 acres set aside for commercial projects (such as the university village); 105 acres for public facilities (such as a city hall, light rail connection, fire station and various parks); 12 acres of office-buildings and nine acres for manufacturers; and 281 acres for a mixed-use business park. This was the beginning of a 1,570-acre strip mall in the hills and in the end it paid off. In 1988 the board of trustees selected San Marcos as the new site for an upperdivision and post-graduate university. » Article continued on pg. 8 Evers Laptop What Lies Beneath CSUSM Scholarship Program Succeeds Brian Fisher Pride Staff Writer By Kevin Frisk Pride Staff Writer Scholarship Program is made possible by a $2.6 million donation by Leonard Evers to assist students in financial need.

The corridor extends through the center of Founder's Plaza and bends around Science, Academic, and University Hall where it continues northeast toward the student parking lot.

IV Worden: By: Darcy Walker Pride Staff Writer Most people have never noticed the number four on the landmark Academic Hall clock If we steal a glance, it's probably because the bells are chiding us for being late. But a few who have taken a moment longer are now curious as to why the four is marked with IIII. Shannon Reynolds, a returning senior, said she had not noticed the four but believes there must be a good reason, "At least I hope so," she added. Russell Decker of the Planning, Design and Construction Department was unaware of the fours. When asked if he had a personal theory as to why IIII was used rather than IV, Decker replied, " . . . I don't have any idea why the clock has a IIII vs. a IV." Even the architectural firm that designed Academic Hall was puzzled. Don Leonard, a vice president at Mosher, Drew, Watson and Ferguson was answerless but curious. He called the clock's maker, MaasRowe of Escondido. Paul Rowe, co-owner of Maas Rowe said that the IIII form has always been used. It has an old and therefore foggy history. He recalled that a story about a king was one of several explanations he's heard. The British Horological Institute's website offers a story that in 1364, King Charles V mistakenly insisted his watchmaker use IIII on a tower clock. Rather than disobey the king, the change was made and tradition born. Roman Calendar expert Paul Lewis notes that the oldest original clock face, dating from before 1392, uses IIII in the fourth position. But the practice may be much older. The Romans themselves used IIII on several monuments according to Jeffrey Harvey, a clock expert. The similarity of IV to the Roman spelling of the god Jupiter's name is one possible explanation. The Romans didn't want to offend Jupiter by equating his name to a simple number. Symmetry may b e the most straightforward explanation. Chandra Griffin of Clockmasters-a clock shop in El Cajon—states that the IIII form is used because it's more in balance with the VIII across from it. Marie at Bob's Carlsbad Clock Shop elaborated, saying that the use of IIII makes an even division of the twelve numbers, four each with just I, V and I, and X and I. Alan Heldman, a clock enthusiast who has done research on the use of IIII vs. IV, says that 95% of the hundreds of clocks he has seen use the IIII form. Interestingly, London's famous Big Ben uses the IV form. In elementary school we were taught Roman numeral four is IV. Do thousands of f ifth grade teachers have a conspiracy to make us look foolish, just when we thought we were so smart? Add it to the previous theoriesthere's no conclusive explanation.

Segall Pride Editor "I still get nostaligic thinking of teaching," remarks Dr. Pat Worden, "if I had time to teach, I'd love it." However Dr. Worden's new position this year as CSUSM's Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs, does not allow her the extra time to teach her psychology classes. "There are more things than can possibly done. The list is way too long," says Dr. Worden, who started her new VP position July 1,2000. According to Dr. Worden, a growing institution like CSUSM does not run automatically and finding time to teach is very difficult for an administrator. However, Dr. Worden believes that teaching can be rewarding for administrators who have the time to teach, "It's very important, it provides a connection with students, it's a fun thing, and it's great for the mind. It allows you to think about things outside of administrative duty," states Dr. Worden. Dr. Worden is one of CSUSM's founding faculty members, having joined the faculty in July 1989. As part of the founding faculty, she assisted in the process of developing the university's Psychology Department. With ample opportunity to move into administration, Dr. Worden took the challenge. While working as an administrator, Dr. Worden has also taught at least one psychology class per year. Dr. Worden's various roles on campus also included Associate Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences, which she served in 1991. As VP of Academic Affairs, Dr. Worden describes her general duties as a leader and coordinator of various divisions on a day-to-day operation. Since this is an interim position, Dr. Worden must prioritize her goals for her year-long position as VP. One such goal is the transition of the University to a year-round operation. CSU Chancellor Reed approved CSUSM as a yearround institution, and the plan is that by next summer the university will offer summer courses. When asked if she has an interest in assuming the VP of Academic Affairs on a permanent basis, Dr. Worden says it is too soon to say. At the moment, Dr. Worden is still getting accustomed to her role. "I'm trying to get a sense of what the job entails. It's a very hard job. It really takes a lot of energy," says Dr. Worden. President Gonzalez will launch a search for a permanent VP of Academic Affairs later in the year. Dr. Worden also expressed her support of the construction and development of the new buildings on campus. "The new library is going to put us on the map, with the way we're going to have students up to our ears," comments Dr. Worden. Born in Minnesota, Dr. Worden worked in Colorado before moving to San Diego's North County in 1970 and now considers herself a longtime resident of San Diego. Dr. Worden speaks of how CSUSM's "high-caliber" faculty members come from everywhere, "They're the newcomers to a certain extent. It's f un to watch the faculty plant their roots here, buy their houses, their kids start going to local schools, and they get involved in soccer leagues. They get to know what San Diego is a bout" Dr. Worden, also a quilter, lives in Escondido with her husband who works in a research "think-tank." Dr. Worden and her husband have three daughters, three grandsons, and a cat. Dr. Worden Photo by Victoria Segall �Community Update: By: J. Ryan Sandahl Pride Staff Writer -?\ You might be wondering, as I myself have, if the new Kaiser Permanente building on Craven 1 Road has anything to do with Student Health Services (SHS). The answer is no. Unless you are a member of Kaiser, or want to become one, you have no business going there. If you do become a member of Kaiser, there are many services that can be of convenience to you: Ob/Gyn, Dermatology, Cardiology, Primary Care, Radiology, etc. Kaiser's monthly rate for coverageofpeople under 30 years of age is $108 per month or $1296 per year, not including other members of your family.

This year's annual Art & Photography Faculty Exhibition is an eclectic mix of high quality art, ranging from traditional oil on canvas to exotic pieces of J^lown and sculptured glass. The exhibit consists of works that were created by faculty members of Palomar College's Art Department. The highlights of the show are numerous. Some of the immediately eye-catching exhibits are "Mr. Manhattan," an acrylic on wood painting by Christopher Polentz, "Where the Flying Fishes Play," a sculptured glass display by Dion Myers, "Border Runner," an oil on canvas painting by Harry E. Bliss, and "Goose Breaking Loose," a stained glass piece by Ray Warner. One of the unique pieces of the show is Frank Codispoti's l iillll •Mm Frank Codispoti and his work u.Palimpsest" Photo by Steve Kerrin "Palimpsest." In this piece, Codispoti used parts from a computer, wood, paint, paper, and acrylics. The center of the piece is a small computer screen with a blinking question mark, intended, said Codispoti, "to make the viewer ask, ' Why?'" The display of such remarkable artistic talent comes as no surprise to anyone who is familiar with Palomar's Art Department. "Most [of the faculty] exhibit nationally," said Peter Mitten, who has been teaching art at Palomar for six years. Some faculty members have received international recognition and the department can also boast of three Academy Awards. Additionally, students come from as far away as Japan to enroll in the glass-working programs. According to Ray Warner, an instructor in stained glass, "Palomar is the only campus i n San Diego that does glassblowing. We also do cast glass and nobody else does that either." Regarding his overall impression of the show, Douglas Burker, an art history instructor for ten years at Palomar, said, "The show is of consistently high quality. You are amazed each time you come to a show." All members of the staff who were present echoed his sentiments. Mark Hudelson, another art history instructor, pointed out that the Art A Photography Exhibit, unlike many art displays, did not have a general theme or focus. "It has no general theme, which is fresh compared to other galleries. There is a real variety with illustration, painting, glass, sculpture, and they're all quality pieces," said Hudelson. The Palomar College Annual Art & Photography Faculty Exhibition 2000 runs from Friday, September 8 through Saturday, October 6 at the Boehm Gallery in Palomar College. The gallery is open on Tuesdays from 10am-4pm; Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10am-7pm; and Fridays and Saturdays from 10am-2pm. The gallery i s closed Sundays, Mondays, and all school holidays. Admission is free and the show is open to the public. Ray Warner and his work "Goose Breaking Loose" Photo by Steve Kerrin Woman on Top By Victor Mireles Pride Staff Writer By Tiaca Carter Pride Staff Writer In The Way of the Gun, Benicio del Toro (Longbaugh) and Ryan Phillippe (Parker) play hit men in search of an easy way to get money. While at a sperm bank, Longbaugh and Parker overhear a phone conversation about a surrogate mother, Robin (played by Juliette Lewis), who is worth one million dollars. The two men decide that kidnapping the pregnant woman and holding the unborn baby ransom could be their big break. With the exception of three gun scenes, the movie is not very exciting. The plot of The Way of the Gun is a bit complex, and, unless you are a person who pays attention to detail, it may be a little hard to keep up with at times. Nonetheless, the film keeps you wondering what's really going on and who's going to be the fool in the end. Del Toro and Phillippe do a good job playing "Bonnie and Clyde" (or should I say Clyde and Clyde). I found their teamwork, like covering each other's backs during shootouts, remarkable. All the actors play their roles exceptionally well. Other stars in the movie include James Caan, who plays Joe Sarno, (the ''bag man"), and Taye Diggs, who plays Jeffers, a bodyguard whose job is to make sure the unborn baby is safe and is given to the rightful couple. For the most part, the movie is fairly entertaining. But if you are looking for a "shootin" good time at the movies, despite its title, the main focus of The Way of the Gun is not so much the "gun" as it is the "way". Photos courtesy of www.wayofthegiun.com Few romance movies offer anything original in the story line, plot, or the characters themselves. However Woman on Top breaks many of the longstanding rules of romance films and gives us a tale of sex, food, loss, and destiny. Woman on Top is the story of Isabella (played by the sultry actress Penelope Cruz), her husband Toninho (played by Murilo Benicio), and their peculiar relationship as owners of a Brazilian restaurant. Isabella is a woman who has been plagued by severe motion sickness since birth. Unable to lead a normal life, Isabella's family makes an offering to Yemanja (the revered sea goddess of Brazil) to cure Isabella's motion sickness. Later in life, Isabella becomes a cook; her cooking talent and looks lead Isabella to her future husband, Toninho and together, they open a restaurant. Still not completely cured from her motion sickness, Isabella has to keep herself moving. In order to move about, Isabella must always be in control: when she is with Toninho she drives the car, she leads while dancing, and she insists on being on top during sex, hence the movie's title. Isabella's control leaves Toninho feeling constrained. This affront to Toninho's manhood leads him to cheat, "causing an enraged Isabella to run away to San Francisco. With the help of her transvestite friend Monica (played by Harold Perrineau, Jr.) Isabella pursues her dreams of becoming a true chef in San Francisco. From then on the plot revolves around Toninho's attempt to win back Isabella. The movie's overall subtext is that, despite Isabella's attempts to break from her old life and to take control, she is still not in command. The film's plot is not deep and lacks the usual standard romance points. There is no life or death struggle, violence, or mysterious diseases that would otherwise move the plot along. Instead, Woman on Top contains subtle charm to relay the message that, passion is the key to success in a marriage. Instead of sex scenes, the use of food, like chili peppers, is the sexual device that heightens the tension between Isabella and Toninho. Murilo Benicio and Penelope Cruz make good performances in the film, playing off each other's strengths while main- taining a level of calm passion. Perrimeau, Jr. is extremely funny as the transvestite Monica, while Mark Feuerstein's role as Cliff, a TV producer, fits the mood of the picture. Each person plays his Or her role at a pace consistent with the story, no one overacting or under-performing. The dialogue in the f ilm is sharp but simple. If there is anything to criticize, it's the ending, which seemed a bit forced. A small Photo courtesy of www.womanontopmovie.com annoyance was the fact that both of the lead characters seemed to have been taken out of a Vogue magazine ad. Too often, Hollywood uses cheap dialogue, gratuitous sex, and nudity to liven up romance films. Although there are some sex scenes in this film, it is done in a tasteful manner fitting with the film. However, if you don't want to be insulted by another piece of sentimental garbage, like Titanic, watch Woman on Top—you'll be surprised by what you've been missing. Woman on Top opens September 22 and will play at small venues. �Melting O pera into Jazz a nd Hip-Hop: Graham Haynes Gives to the Future By: Christopher F. Orman Pride Staff Writer Opera has always been considered a highfalutin art form. Often cathartic, containing large emotional crescendos, opera's elitism makes the music seem dense and unattractive to the masses. Few people living in mainstream society hear opera's magnificent sound, the Three Tenors or Charlotte Church have become the the preferred sources of knowledge regarding opera, that is, until the arrival of an inventive jazz artist, Graham Haynes. On his two latest CD projects, "BPM" and Operazone's "Redesign," Haynes mixes operatic themes with jazz improvisation and hip-hop sentiments. Breathing life into the coldly boring genres of dance music, Operazone's "Redesign" and Haynes' "BPM" display the sophistication and acumen available for dance music in the future. By conspicuously mixing opera with a "lower form," including turntable scratches and a screeching Miles Davis-esque trumpet, Haynes conceivably treats opera irreverently, taking a critical, revolutionary approach to his musical creations. "BPM" opens in media res of a classic Wagner composition. Haynes loops a certain passage, and after eight bars, some heavy drum and bass enters, underlying the boisterous orchestral movements. Several moments later, Haynes adds a break, complete with a tenor singer and other elegant orchestral complexities. When "Variations On a Theme by Wagner" seems destined to stay closely aligned with violins and vocalists, the music twists, revealing Haynes' coolly muted trumpet. Containing a simple drum and bass pattern as the foundation, Haynes plays the Wagner theme, at times adding additional notes t o force the listener beyond the orchestral expectations. For almost seven minutes, "Variations On a Theme by Wagner" feels disjointed, split between the orchestral passages and Haynes' trumpet playing. Eventually Haynes uses the lack of cohesion as a musical technique, yielding a hair-raising crescendo where the jazz trumpet and orchestra finally convene. In fact, any notions of irreverence become suddenly eradicated given the final two and a half minutes of the track. Throughout "BPM," Haynes tackles Wagner's compositions, such as "Tristan In the Sky" and "Variation #2." However, most of the tracks do not contain the effervescence of "Variations On a Theme by Wagner." Haynes, within the first track, states his intent and completes his mission, feeling no need for further embellishments. The listener, however, becomes desirous for more music of the same ilk. Knowing the endless possibilities revealed on the opening track of "BPM," Haynes with the assistance of Bill Laswell, Alan Douglas, and a f ull orchestra, embarked upon an album worth of popular orchestral pieces on Operazone's "Redesign." More melodic than "BPM," Haynes immerses himself in sounds rather than experimentalism on "Redesign." Where "BPM" seems brash and for a dance crowd, "Redesign" feels relaxing, aiming to redesign opera rather than reconstruct it. Beginning quietly with a tabla and calm electronic cymbal rhythm, "Una Furtiva Lagrima" continues with a slow-moving orchestra, moving through Donizetti's emotional Do you need experience to put on your resume?

Once again, Haynes improvises several rhapsodic sections, typically fitting gorgeously with the orchestra. "Una Furtiva Lagrima" exhibits not only the beauty and reverence jazz artists have for operatic themes, but how easily operatic compositions can take on new life. By adding tablas, cymbals and a straining sitar in certain well-designed areas, "Una Furtiva Lagrima" becomes world music, moving far beyond the boundaries of a theater; con^ versely the addition of Indian percussion and jazz solos only further proves the worldly appeal of opera. Nevertheless, tracks like Verdi's "Love Theme" or Puccini's "Nessun Dorma" rouse emotion in the listener, despite the electronics implemented. The music lives voraciously on in the minds of those seemingly bound to modern musical tastes. Fans of jazz, and, specifically, Miles Davis' electric meandering from the 1970's, will know Haynes does not intend to eradicate a sophisticated, aged art style. One album in particular by Davis, "Get Up With It," contains a thirty-five minute piece titled "He Loved Him Madly," which elegantly mixes Stockhausenbased concepts with Beethovenstyled crescendos. Graham Haynes Photo Courtesy of: Barron Claiborne From his early years, Davis always wanted to give j azz respectability and acceptance within rock and classical domains; hence albums like "On the Corner" and "Sketches of Spain" attempt to dissolve any expectations for jazz. Like Davis, Haynes wishes for an expansion of hip-hop's and jazz's miniscule boundaries by making modern music not only more sophisticated, but far more creative.

V ote T his! Students for Nader Construct a Plan By: Christopher Orman Pride Staff Writer in the abortion debate would be something like this: By: Steve Kerrin Pride Staff Writer Want to know which Presidential candidate I'm voting for this November? None of them. Want to know why? Read on: First: I will never vote for anyone who whores him/herself out to popular sentiment and party politics. Every Presidential candidate I have ever heard speak has done it. A1 Gore wouldn't have such a big health care agenda if it weren't such a popular concern right now. He'd choose something else that fit in with popular sentiment and what his party wanted him to represent. How about Bush? Would he be making such an issue out of military readiness if he didn't think there were a few million voters concerned about it and his party was OK with the idea? Doubtful. The same holds true for any person I have ever heard who was running for office. He'll say what he has to in order to please constituents and then follow his party's agenda once in office. Case in point, the recent * electricity debacle. Approval for relief plans was split along party lines more often than not. All this says to me is that our elected officials are trying to please popular sentiment but at the same time are really just being whores for their party's ideals. Second: I will never trust anyone who gives a ten minute answer to a question that requires five seconds of explanation. For example, my idea of the ideal scenario Q: Candidate X, are you in favor of abortion? A: Yes. Q: Candidate Y, are you in favor of abortion? A: No. Case closed. Make up your mind based on that, it's all you need. Anyone who answers such a simple question with a lengthy diatribe has something to hide. Don't trust 'em. If brevity is the soul of wit then verboseness is the soul of the twit. Third: You're going to get screwed any way you go. This year, if you vote for Gore, health care MAY become more readily accessible to everyone and we can all keep our 98-year old invalid grandmothers on life support for a few more years. If you vote for Bush, the military MAY get more funding and we'll be ready to more effectively bomb the living snot out of the next small country that irritates us. (If you vote for Buchanan,' you'll get nothing. Third party candidates have a habit of losing big. All they do is take votes away from the big parties.) But the fact remains, no matter what you do, someone along the line is going to get screwed in equal proportions to the number of people who would have been screwed in another way had you voted for the other guy. All we're really deciding is who gets helped and who gets screwed. What does it come down to? Popular sentiment. Whatever the issue is that more people are concerned about at the time of the election. Playing to popular sentiment is a great way to get yourself elected but it doesn't say much about your integrity. It just says that you'll do anything and tell people anything to get what you want. Great qualities in a leader. The unfortunate fact that I do have to acknowledge is that someone has to do the job. So what I look to is a person like Governor Jesse x Ventura from Minnesota. He said that organized religion was a farce. I'm sure he realized that he wouldn't win many opinion polls after that comment. Despite that, he spoke his mind and I'd vote for him based on that fact alone. Whether you agreed or disagreed with him, at least you'd know he was telling me what he, not his party or the majority of his voters, believed. I think George Carlin said it best: "I'll be home on [election] day doing essentially the same thing as you. The only difference is, when I get done masturbating, I'm gonna have a little something to show for it, folks." And I think that "little something" means about as much in the long run as that little sticker you voters get. Never reaching double-digits in size, the Students for Nader meeting went fairly unnoticed. Most of the students attending the meeting discussed specific ideas, which manifested into a full-scale plan for reaching a large, collegiate audience. The plan created on September 7 emphasizes bringing multiple voices into the debates and revealing the ways in which Washington corruption has caused numerous earth-shattering conundrums. "The people need to realize how the prices of electricity and gas all revolve around a greedy political structure," stated CSUSM student Dave Gottwald during the meeting, "you need the people to think about how their [tapping his hip pocket] will be effected by certain political philosophies. While the plan constructed by the Students for Nader (to be unveiled at CSUSM in the coming weeks) revolves around awakening students to multiple presidential choices, the challenges surrounding such a battle are numerous. Some people may have wanted to attend the Students for Nader meeting, but classes and other scheduling conflicts inhibited their attendance. However, the meeting had been created to allow an open forum for vastly different political ideologies. No Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians or other plausible political parties were in attendance at the meeting to speak about specific issues important to their party. Such as a lack of interest to pontificate political beliefs merely reveals the rampant political apathy present in our country. All over the nation, locales well known for political activism, like Berkeley, have lost their fervor. Living during a period of monetary excesses, people allow the leaders to dictate the agendas as long as the private sector continues growing; thus making Gottwald's idea to reveal the effects some presidential nominees will have upon the pocketbook a work of rhetorical genius. Yet, such a comment merely reveals the insurmountable problem of awakening the general public to voices not spearheaded by the two major parties. Why do people need to feel the effects of paying two.dollars a gallon for gas, to realize specific, inalienable flaws are present within our "representative" democracy? All over our nation problems exist, just select an issue: Native Americans' rights are continually violated, a politician creates a bill for damming a salmon sanctuary, race relations are worsening, corporations continue to dictate the prices for electricity. Possibly the size and power of the problems leave most people feeling inconsequential, as though they can not remedy our country's quandaries. To those with such emotions, the upcoming election becomes a hallmark moment for revealing your opinions to Washington. Register to vote, sign a petition allowing other parties' nominees into the debates and, most importantly, become thoroughly educated on the issues. While the media displays only two parties, a wealth of views and presidential nominees do exist. Trash Talkin' By Steve Compian Pride Staff Writer My dog Sonny and I are frequent visitors to a local park in Oceanside where we run, play, and generally admire the outdoor scenery. It's sad to see, however, the amount of trash leftstrewn on the ground, especially when there are so few parks to for us to enjoy. The worst times are after hblidays when piles of the long weekend's barbecues, birthdays, and reunions require the city to contract outside agencies to clean up the debris. My heart sinks, and I can feel my wallet flatten whenever I see those workers picking up after someone else. As a tutor at a local high school, I've observed that students eat their lunch in an outdoor area referred to as "The Quad." After lunch is over and the students are in class, there are at least a dozen school employees fighting with the seagulls for dominance of the litter-gold. Sometimes the seagulls are faster and the clean up must continue outside of the quad. At Palomar College last semester, I happened to walk into the Student Union Cafeteria after the "lunch rush." The amount of garbage on every table in that building was so dense that there was a hardly a place to sit, even if anyone was so inclined. The lone worker with whom I spoke had a huge plastic container that he used to collect all the garbage. After months of practice, he had developed a system that allowed him to complete this task within an hour. I was so glad and proud to finally be accepted to Cal State after three semesters of community college. Last week, I piled my books into my backpack and made my way across this institution of higher learning. The weight of my books caused me to look down as I walked. At almost every other step I noticed trash on the ground. H uman-made,nicotinefiltered, paper or plastic garbage was everywhere. I thought that for a minute I was being paranoid, until I invented a game: step-cigarette butt, step-candy wrapper, step-plastic bottle, stepclean spot, step-cigarette butt, and step-soda can. CSUSM is relatively a young campus, but I have wondered how long it will be before; it goes the way of the cafeteria, quad, and park. Maybe in an institution of higher learning, we can regress to a simpler lesson: if you make HAVE AN OPINION? SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITORS TO the mess, pick it up. Yesterday, Sonny and I returned to the park and I witnessed a curious event. A little girl had been eating a Popsicle that then fell to the ground. She picked it up and headed in the direction of the nearest trashcan. My spirits were lifted, my billfold felt heavier and I thought, "At least her generation is going to get it right." Then her mother took her by the hand and slapped the Popsicle to the ground while instructing her, "Bonnie, put that down. Other people are paid to do that." My wallet feels like a tortilla.

I know of a great place up north—Shady Acres—that will take real good care of you. When I moved down to San Diego I had a decision to make: I had to decide which school to go to. I live right in the middle of Cal State San Marcos, San Diego State, and University of California, Safi Diego. UCSD was out of the question because math and science don't seem to like me, and UCSD doesn't seem to like English majors too much. San Diego State was fine and dandy, but I had to go south to get there—south is not a good direction. Both Interstate 15 and Highway 8 are battling congestion in the morning—and it's not the kind of congestion that you can fix with some Robitussin— believe me, I have tried. North, on the other hand, is a little easier to travel in the morning, which made San Marcos an excellent choice. I wish I could say I chose CSU San Marcos because of its excellent academic reputation or its devotion to keeping classes small and intimate. While both of the above may be true, I sure didn't know it when I was choosing a school this year. I have since discovered that the traffic test I put the schools through helped me pick tfie perfect college. around me.

Ryan Sandahl Pride Staff Writer I almost ran out of gas twice in 24 hours. I know it sounds crazy, but it is true. I was coming home from a visit to my aunt's house and had forgotten tofillup with gas, yet I knew there were gas stations along the freeway (at almost every exit, to be exact) so I did not worry. When the gas gauge eventually reached the 'E', I knew I could stop and fill up. It is funny how we procrastinate so easily. Usually it is because we do not want to do what we should do at a certain point in time. Instead we would rather do something we want to do at that particular point in time, something more exciting, more enjoyable. Take homework for example. It is eight o'clock at night, you have a five-page paper due tomorrow and 50 pages to read, but your friends are going to the movies right now and invited you to come along. What do you do? Hmmm. Talk about a no-brainer. By morning, the fifth page of that paper only has a single sentence on it (but because there are actually five pieces of paper in your hands, you figure you have done your job). That morning you are running on a gallon of coffee-and whatever you could grab to nibble on your way out the door and you find yourself skimming the last 30 pages of the 50 pages you were supposed to have already read on your way to class (not retaining any of the previous twenty that you have read already, anyway). Even worse, the movie you saw last night was horrid and it had Jenny McCarthy in it, a person whom you would never pay eight dollars to see in the theater. But at least you had fun with your friends. So anyway, I was driving along and suddenly the red reserve light comes on, indicating that I am down to the last drop of fuel. Time to get gas. Of course it is then that I pass the sign that reads "Next Gas Station 20 Miles". Oh crap. I found myself praying that I would not run out of gas and performing a few illegal maneuvers while tearing down the freeway at 90 miles-per-hour. I was lucky that the traffic was not bumper-tobumper. Had the bomb-threat on the 5 Freeway occurred that day, I would still be walking home. That day, of course, the bomb threat did not happen. But I would yell at the other drivers to get out of my way, angry with them for my own careless stupidity. It is amazing how we humans like to blame our problems on other people. Everyone does it at some point in life, but nobody deserves to take blame for someone else's mistakes, I have found it does not get anybody anywhere. I made it on fumes to the gas station, arrived home, and went to bed. That day I had borrowed my mom's car for the trip. So the next day I go out to my own car, start it, and the needle barely creeps up to the bottom line. You know the one where the ' E' is waiting just centimeters below? Oh crap. My mom did not fill my tank when she took my car. Again, I found myself praying and yelling at other drivers. I could not believe this could happen twice in two days. Again, I made it to the gas station (lucky me), but was sweating the whole way there. What did I learn from this? Do not put off for later what you can do now because it is only a matter of time.

Since the Evers project is still relatively new, there has yet to be a graduate. For the past two years, however, the retention rate of students in the program is fairly high at approximately 88 percent. The 47 new freshmen enrolled this year have« an average high school GPA of 3.6, and the returning Evers students have an average GPA of 2.99. Now in its third year, the Evers Program has proven to be successful. Norm Nicholson, Dean of Instructional and Information Technology Services (UTS), has been working alongside Director of » Continued from pg. 1 Financial Aid, Paul Phillips, on this experimental project. Nicholson stated, "I considThe computer will be theirs er [the Evers Program] to be to keep upon graduation. the most valuable and important The Evers Program, which project involving computers and began in 1998, has 133 par- edifcation that I have partici- pated in during my thirty years in this field." The program seeks to lower the technological divide that exists'between students who can afford their own personal computers and students who cannot. The Evers participants are working with UTS to provide much-needed feedback, via surveys and focus groups, to help IITS evaluate how it may better serve all students who use laptop computers f or school purposes. Due to the uniqueness of the Evers program, CSUSM has received national and local news coverage. Financial Aid Director, Paul Phillips states "the national publicity and local coverage has established a reputation for CSUSM as the 'Laptop U.' It has also drawn students to our campus and may motivate [other universities] to establish scholarships similar to the one that was made possible by Leonard Evers." "There was not a lot of development in the early 1990s," said Anna Butler of Twin Oaks Reality and a 20- year resident of the city. "Real estate prices started to decline and we were seeing a lot of foreclosures after the loss of government contracts with General Dynamics and Hughes," stated Butler. Jumping to the present times has definitely changed. Economic conditions for development have changed and projects are beginning to move smoothly. The sight of bulldozers, tractor-trailers and pickup trucks has become regularly common for the students of Cal Sate San Marcos. In a few years the landscape will change and students will be seeing a major grocery store, pharmacy, eateries, a hotel and a hospital, all within walking distance from the campus. When asked his views on the development, Mark Dubois, owner of the Power Surge Cafe said, "I think it will be good. There needs to be some more businesses supporting the university and it will help our business when the university is not in session." Dubois, however, holds the minority opinion about the "Heart of the City" plan. Many businesses who are already established in prominent shopping areas such as Old California Restaurant Row and the Vons complex on the corner of Rancho Santa Fe and San Marcos Boulevard, view the new development as a threat to their business and are offended that o fficials from San Marcos would, in a sense, move the "Heart of the City." There are also the opinions of those who desire a college feel for a college town. When asked about the development in San Marcos, one unnamed source expressed interest in "independent bookstores and small shops, "I would have liked to see something less stripmallish, but more typical of a college town."

Wet, muddy floors cover the bottom of the tunnel along with strewn pieces of chain link, metal poles, storage bins, trashcans and various other objects. The tunnel is designed to provide easy access to campus plumbing. Water, gas and drain pipe installments run through- out the tunnel and are integrated into campus buildings. The tunnel also provides convenient and direct transportation of plumbing supplies through the center of campus. This speeds up maintenance and installation projects, as well as allowing potential problems to be isolated quickly. Currently, the tunnel is left unfinished at the northeast section of campus. The utility tunnel will be extended as new buildings are constructed »Continued from pg. 1 "I think it sets the future of development in San Marcos," added Backoff. However, if development sets the tune, the university would sing it alone for the next decade. Following the experience of watching Ryland Homes, a major developer, construct numerous master planned communities only to watch them remain vacant, many developers decided to bide their time during what Was to be the recession of the 1990s. Behind the scenes though, the "Heart of the city" plan was not forgotten. Developers who had stake in the area spent their time getting permits approved and designs drawn up, all the while, waiting for the economic climate to heat up.

In its second year of competition, Cal State San Marcos is on the verge of building one of the premier cross-country programs in the nation. The men's team has one Ail-American returning, sophomore Marcus Chandler. Chandler, who has the distinction of being the CSUSM's first All-American, finished among the top twenty runners at the nationals held last November in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Sophomores John Cadogan, Shaun Conner, Kenneth Nwadike, and junior Brian Sullivan join Chandler from a team that won the regional championship in Seattle last year. The nationals made a strong impression on Nwadike who stated that he "never competed outside of California before and at the nationals everyone seems to fight for the finish line." The women's team also won their share of respect. Renee wmMm^mt mm•\jm.t A, MacDonald, a track and field all-American returns to lead a squad that captured the regional championship and finished 17th among the 150 NAIA schools that compete in crosscountry. Sophomores Lorena Reyes, Camille Wilborn, and junior Erin Berhman were also instrumental in making the women's team nationally prominent. Wilborn was excited about the teams chances this year, "We have more experience and I feel that our team can be better." Head coach, Steve Scott, and assistant coach, Joe Keating, know how to win. Steve Scott is a three-time Olympian, who holds several American records including a time of 3:47.6 in the mile run. Scott served as an assistant coach at Arizona State from 1979 to 1985 and as assistant coach at Azusa Pacific University from 1993 to 1996 prior to becoming head coach at CSUSM. Scott still competes in various long distance events. Joe Keating, an associate professor of Science Education, has considerable experience training distance runners. Keating started his career as cross-country and track coach at Thoreau High School in Thoreau, New Mexico from 1972 to 1992 where his teams won several HiffiMWJHI Thoughts on...Secrets of Success state titles.

After losing the season opener 9-6 last week, the Chargers showed that they can score points and still lose at their home opener against the New Orleans Saints, losing 28-27 on Sunday. The Chargers looked good in the first quarter, as they took an early lead on a John Carney field goal. Eight minutes into the first quarter, Ryan Leaf led the team on a six play, 22-yard drive that resulted in a 41-yard field goal by Carney. The Saints responded quickly, however, as they took the ball 76 yards on their next possession and took a 7-3 lead when Jeff Blake connected with Joe Horn on a 6-yard pass for the score. However, San Diego was not going to be kept off the scoreboard like they were last week ^ in Oakland. In the second quarter, the Bolts put 21 points on the board as Leaf passed for one touchdown and Robert Chancey ran for one, followed by a spectacular 93-yard kickoff return by Ronney Jenkins. The return by Jenkins was a breath of fresh air and the first big play of the season for the Chargers. After fumbling the kickoff, Jenkins decided he needed to redeem himself. He apparently thought that picking up the ball and slicing through the entire Saints team for 93 yards was the best way to do that—the crowd agreed. The Chargers entered the half with a 24-13 lead, and after last week it looked like there was no way the Saints would be able to put ten points on the board. The Saints, however, had other ideas. Twelve minutes into the third quarter, Ricky Williams and Blake connected on a 16-yard touchdown pass that brought the Saints within five points, 24-19 (the two-point conversion attempt failed). After Doug Brien hit a 32-yard field goal to begin the fourth quarter, Chargers fans began to worry. Carney helped to ease the anxiety by crushing a 49-yard field goal to push the Charger lead back to five points with only five minutes remaining. The Chargers defense, which had been superb in week one, could not stop New Orleans' last chance drive, and the Chargers found themselves with a 0-2 record to start the season. If there was one bright spot in the game for the Bolts, it was the special teams play. With Ryan Leaf at quarterback (12-24, 134 yards, and two interceptions), the team will have to look elsewhere for offense, and Ronney Jenkins might be their go-to guy. On Sunday Jenkins showed that his two pre-season kickoff returns were not a fluke, as he racked up 221 return yards and one TD against a decent New Orleans special teams unit. Leaf continued to struggle, however, throwing more interceptions than touchdowns for the second time this season (at least he threw a touchdown pass this time, though). If Leaf wishes to remain the Chargers' starting quarterback, he will have to bring his competition percentage above fifty percent. He will also have to figure out which color his team is wearing because that may help him figure out which team he should throw the ball. The season is young and the Chargers still have a chance to push their way to the top of the standings. With fourteen games remaining, anything can happen; the problem is, anything could mean 0-16. �CSUSM CALENDAR SeptemberNovember 3 0,2000 "Futuristic Native Objects for Night Raids99 (and other paraphernalia) James Luna Exhibit Location: CSUSM Library September 11-14, 2 000 Please contact Rush chair Nick Bird at (760) 743-2546.

To answer many of these questions The Pride contacted the Planning, Design and Construction Staff here at CSUSM to see what, if any, plans addressing these concerns exist. In a discussion with Bradly Fenton, the Project Manager in the Planning, Design and Construction department, the Pride found that CSUSM is in the process of having a traffic engineer make arrangements to construct a traffic signal at the intersection of Craven and Palm Canyon. In order for any construction to be started an environmental impact study must be completed. Last month the study was finalized and made available for public review. From this point all that is left is moving forward with necessary documents and gaining the appropriate funding for the project. While the new parking lot F was being constructed, simultaneously plans for an intersection at the intersection of Craven and Palm Canyon were being implemented. The plans call for a sigPLANS, SEE page 2 On; Wednesday September 6 at approximately 5 p.m., a faculty member driving a late model Volkswagen van through the intersection of Craven and Palm Canyon Road struck a pedestrian crossing the road. The driver of the van, CSUSM faculty member Dr. Gary Addou, was questioned by CSUSM police. Pedestrian and faculty member Antonia Olivas, an assistant Librarian at Kellogg Library, received medical attention and was taken to a near by hospital. No charges are being filed by either party at this time. CSUSM police found that the driver was the party most at fault based on vehicle code 21950 (c) which states that "the driver of a vehicle approaching a pedestrian within a crosswalk shall reduce speed of the vehicle or take any action or other action relating to the operation of the vehicle as necessary to safeguard the safety of the pedestrian." However according to CSUSM police, some other mitigating factors contributed to the accident: The sun was directly in the driver's eyes, making it difficult to see in the direction of the pedestrian. It was also found that the victim did not see the van. She reportACCIDENT, SEE page 2 Gattey / T b M i « 6 at the intersection of Craven and Palm Canyon Rd.

In addition to this particular intersection plans for more signalized intersections throughout campus are being drafted. While the recent accident won't change any of the time tables for construction of a signalized intersection, it does expose the need for one. According to Fenton, the opening of lot F only exacerbated the need for a controlled intersection for the protection of both vehicles and pedestrians on campus. Fenton also stated, "A signalized intersection was mandatory for the amount of cars that are now using the intersection." Pedestrian bridges were an option; however each intersection would require four bridges. At a cost of half a million dollars each, bridges are not a feasible solution. Lighted intersections typically cost anywhere from 150 to 250 thousand dollars. Signalized intersections are significantly cheaper than pedestrian bridges. According to Fenton, bridges are typically a waste of money as well. Fenton also stated, "Traffic engineers have noted that people traditionally don't use pedestrian bridges if the cross walk is available. They still cross the street." Eventually lot C will have a parking structure, where a bridge may be built to come off the structure and connect to campus, however this project is six to seven years away. As soon as funding becomes available it should take approximately six months to complete the signalized intersection. The money has been requested, and if the proposed educational bond passes in November, the money will become available. That same bond will also fund the next campus building, the Social and Behavioral Sciences Building. After the environmental impact study has been completed, the project takes approximately six to eight months with documents and bidding. Construction takes about three months. At this point during next semester, assuming the funding is allocated, construction on the signalized intersection could be completed. r noto Dy David Gatley / The Pride C SUSM Police respond to the s cene of the accident on Wednesday.

Also, with the opening of lot F a new traffic situation has been presented at the intersection of Craven and Palm Canyon Road. This is something that students and faculty are not accustomed to and presents a very serious situa- tion, showing the importance that everyone going through the intersection pay full attention. "I want to remind everybody to be very cautious going through this intersection, including pedestrians and drivers. This intersection can be dangerous if people are not paying attention," says CSUSM Lt. Doug Miller.

Right now the gas prices run from about $2.87 to $3.32 and up. For students on-campus, gas isn't as much of an issue. On-campus students don't need to drive to class, and sometimes may not even own a car, while commuters are driving anywhere from a few miles to forty or more. Surprisingly, students who stay in on-campus housing sometimes pay less on their monthly housing than those renting an apartment in other areas of San Diego. At CSUSM, students can stay in oncampus housing apartments that are located at the base of the hill the college is built on. Built by the Allen and OHara business the CSUSM on-campus housing complex is walking distance from the school and can currently hold up to about 568 students. The dorms are built to be more like an apartment community than dormitories. The structures were built to look like apartments both on the inside and outside. At the University Village Apartments, where the students live on-campus, a 'private room' costs $700. One can have a 6person dorm or a four-person dorm. For a dorm that holds six people, a shared room costs $500. For a dorm that holds four people, the cost is $600. On average a oneperson apartment, that has all the same basic amenities as the dorms, would cost around $600; of course there are exceptions with slightly lower or higher prices depending on what part of San Marcos you live in. A two bedroom, on average, starts around $700, not including any extra bills. It gets a lot more expensive if you want newer or From SURFING, page 1 more conveniently located apartments as well. Melanee Pile, a current senior at CSUSM, currently works and lives and attends CSUSM. She is currently an RA for the UVA (University Village Apartments) and has lived in on-campus hous. ing since summer. Though RA's live in on-campus housing for free, the experiences are still the same. "I love it" she said, when I asked her how she likes living in the dorms. When asked if some students felt constrained by living with so many other students so close to where they go to school she replied saying, "not regular dorm style. Its more like an apartment feels." With an "open community, not like a (jail) cell." When asked about comparing it to living off campus and commuting to school she said its "easier than commuting." All last year Melanee commuted forty-five minutes to make it to campus. While not economically beneficial to everyone, namely those living at home or sharing housing off campus, living oncampus can benefit some students. For those students who want to stay in the oncampus apartments and avoid a commute to school, there is however a waiting list. With limited room, and all spots taken, the UVA has a waiting list for those seeking to get a spot. Fortunately for those wishing to live on-campus later in their academic careers and for students that will attend CSUSM in the coming years, a new parking structure for on-campus students is on the way in about a year and hopefully in three years a new "tower" of on-campus apartments will be put in to give more rooms for more students. On Saturday, Septermber 30 at 7:30 am - 3:00 pm at Crosswaithe Street in Oceanside tryouts will be held for Men's and Women's Shortboard and Coed Longboard. To sign up for tryouts students can go to the Field House Recreation Center counter. Students must bring a student ID and a photocopy and a photocopy of a health insurance card. Also a participation packet and entry form must befilledout, both are available at Field House. Students must also pay an entry fee (cash or check only At payable to ASI Surf Team) amounts are $15 if signed up by September 21, $20 if signed up by September 28, and $25 for beach entry.

JJ . Getsklw is a first time resident advisor who lived in the dorms last year. "Now that we have soccer, that's been a highlight for our residents." There have been many activities offered at the UVA this fall including free Monday night dinners put on by Bryan Dawson and his wife. "Any student loves free food. That's how we attract them to our programs." But the UVA isn't the only one producing fun activities for students to take part in. "Through the efforts of ASI, the Clarke Field House and the RA's, we've had a lot of interest in activities," Getsklw said. According to Getsklw, most of the problems RA's have encountered have revolved around noise complaints. With rooms of up to six roommates, each roommate is allowed to have three guests. "If it's a party or if alcohol is present, it's fine if all residents are over twenty one, if not then it's us who pour it out." If there is an incident with alcohol or marijuana, it is the resident advisor's job to write out an IR or incident report. "If it's a first time offence, the student has a conduct meeting held by either Bryan Dawson, Ryan McCrae or Desiree Woodruff. They handle all the conduct issues. RAs have nothing to do with the conduct meeting or punishment," Getsklw said. As Getkklw said, "Marijuana is the worst thing you can do here." The result of getting caught with marijuana is two strikes against the student. It takes three before a student can get evicted. "With a second strike, a student's contract is in jeopardy and the student is sent to the dean of students because there is an agreement with the campus on that issue." As for the freshman, they seem to be enjoying the overall experience of the UVA. According to Danielle Mitchell, she says, "I'm getting along with my roommate, especially since she's my best friend." As for Kierra Hunt's roommates, she says, "We're all pretty cooperative, sometimes we have misunderstandings over cleaning but we always resolve it." During the third week of school, open door week took place for siudents to mingle with each other. Alex Ingram said, "The RAs try hard but they should have done open door week during the first week of school." His roommate Alfon Allen said, "I have a problem with dorm rules, the quiet hours shouldn't be at (10:00 pm)." Their roommate Greg Moore said, "Everything's cool with my roommates but it's a lot like a war bunker. It teaches us responsibility and how to make situations good." Photp by Kelly Corrigan / The Pride C lub of t he W eek: A ccounting S ociety BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer If you are enrolled in any College Business Administration required class or even more specifically enrolled in an accounting class this semester then you have probably already been solicited to join the CSUSM Accounting Society. As you listened to your iPod or napped during a short introduction regarding the Accounting Society you missed a chance at a potentially prosperous semester, new friends and connections, and ultimately a future career in accounting. Most students would agree that this is not the best way to start a semester. Fortunately for those who are still interested or dare to be different and be involved with CSUSM making it the great campus that it is today, the Accounting Society is still looking for you. The CSUSM Accounting Society (as it is officially titled in Article One of the Bylaws for the group) is more commonly known as the Accounting Society to CSUSM students. "We are looking at increasing our memberships from interring business. And non-business students and keeping regular members active," stated Jessica Alfaro who is the current President of the Accounting Society who is an Accounting Major who plans to graduate this December of 2006 said Alfaro. The Accounting Society is recognized as "the oldest club", according to Alfaro, and was established before the current CSUSM campus was built and the school was hosted in a shopping center in San Marcos. The Accounting Society was originally created to "act as an interface for students and accounting i professionals and so students could get a good understanding of what the accounting industry was like," said Alfaro. The Accounting Society contributes to CSUSM by "presenting CSUSM in a strong and professional way while getting students prepared" for classes and future careers said Alfaro. A trend can be seen in the Accounting Society. "Accounting Society Alumni often times work in the firms that donate to CSUSM or directly to Accounting Society and other Alumni will also look at current members in the Accounting Society" for future positions said Alfaro. The Accounting Society holds two weekly meetings currently in Markstein Hall 104 on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock during University Hour. Students should expect "to get professional knowledge and to held August 30th said Alfaro. "All students are encouraged to get involved now and attend the meetings," said Alfaro. Still think that Accounting Society is not for you, maybe perhaps it's too stuffy? Upon calling a willing and patient Alfaro for some last minute questions regarding the Accounting Society late and extremely last minute on a Saturday night a familiar loud thumping beat of "Play that -funky music" by Wild Cherry throbbed through the phone. Open the door yourself and check out one of these meetings that the Accounting Society has to offer.

The Accounting Society also holds events off campus that help students with their careers and networking. This past week on September 7th the Accounting Society held and invent at Carlsbad Windmill called Clear Connections that "over 65 students and over 50 professionals attended," said Alfaro. The next two weeks will hold four meetings for the Accounting Society on the 13th, 14th, 20th, and the 21st of which they will be held in Markstein Hall 104 from 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock during University Hour, and foodprovided of course.

People worldwide have been expressing their condolences and appreciation for his contribution towards wildlife preservation. The Cal State San Marcos men's soccer team went into Saturday's game with the objective of winning for the university and in memory of Steve Irwin. On Saturday September 9, after two scoreless halves between CSUSM and visiting Pomona Pitzer, the game headed into double overtime. Senior Ben Crouse, a transfer from the University of Notre Dame, set up Freshman Bradley Seidenglanz for the game winning goal. Immediately after the goal, Seidenglanz sprinted towards the Cougar fans, raising his jersey and unveiling his "In Memory of Steve Irwin" undershirt. "I was a big fan of 'The Crocodile Hunter.' I use to watch him as a kid", said Seidenglanz. "The teammates and I thought of a way to celebrate his life." In an offensive 1-0 struggle, the men's team endured a physical contest, testing their will and determination. A visibly bigger and athletic Pomona team disrupted the play of the confident Cougars. "We were not as sharp, or focused* today," said Coach * Ron Pulvers. "Our concentration was o ff" On several occasions the Cou- Photo by David Gatley / The Pride Pictured above is number 16 CSUSM mens's defender Ben Crouse sending the ball up the field. gars were not able to capitalize on scoring opportunities which could have given them an early psychological and tactical advantage.

The men's team remains undefeated at home and 4-1 on the season. �Jock Talk With Josh: Steve Foley BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Sports Writer It has been a little over a week now since Chargers linebacker Steve Foley was shot by an offduty Coronado police officer. I have spent that week reflecting on the whole situation. Aaron Mansker, the off-duty cop who formerly worked at Palomar College, claims that Foley was swerving at various speeds on Interstate freeway 163 in the early hours after 2 AM, nearly hitting other cars and road barriers. He followed Foley to his home on Travertine Court in Poway, all the while making several attempts at pulling him over and attempting to let him know that he was an officer. I personally haven't had the best experiences with cops, partially because some of my friends are not that bright, and simply because I am Latino. I can remember one time playing basketball in an area that is not accustomed to diversity and having two cop cars pull onto the court with sirens blaring, asking me questions about who I was and what I was doing. That was in the sunlight, so I can only imagine what a black man who plays in the NFL would be thinking if someone claiming to be an offduty cop at 3 AM was following him while waiving a gun. For all Foley knew, Mansker could have been some crazy fan. I know many of you are probably saying, "Why do you have to bring race into this?" Well, my answer is that because whether you want to admit it or not, race is a factor in nearly everything in life. I suggest taking Intercultural Communication 330 with Fredi Avalos or Sociology Inequality 311 with Donna Goyer. Those classes could clear some things up for you. got to be honest and say that if I am driving at 3 AM and someone claiming to be an offduty cop tries to pull me over, there is no, way I am pulling over. I am waiting for back-up to show, because general protocol for most police departments state that an off-duty officer should not attempt an arrest immediately, but wait for uniformed officers to show up on the scene in marked cars. I, like Foley can only react on my own experiences. Someone in plain clothes waiving a gun at me is not an officer, even if he claims to be one. Mansker claims that Foley reached for his waistband when he stepped out of his vehicle near his home. I don't know about any of you, but hearing that piece of news reminded me of the scene in "Crash" when Ryan Phillippe's character kills Larenz Tate's character. Phillippe thinks Tate is reaching for a gun in his jacket and Tate is actually trying to show him that they own the same religious artifact. Foley is a menacing looking dude, but everyone I know who has had experiences with him has had nothing but the nicest things to say about him. I have spent numerous days at Chargers training camp the past two seasons and have witnessed his interaction with the fans. Other than Ladainian Tomlinson there may be no greater Chargers ambassador to younger fans than Foley. I am in no way defending Foley because the guy does have some alcohol related problems in his past and at the time l am writing this not much has been confirmed regarding this incident. All I am saying is that there are sketchy circumstances on both sides of the ball in this situation. By the way, if I offended any of the officers on this campus, I didn't mean it. I love you guys, so don't bother me. Comments can be sent to Sando026@csusm.edu. Letter to the Editor: Pedestrians need to be careful Do you all remember the days when Mommy and Daddy would constantly tell you to look both ways before you walk out into the street? Did you all somehow forget how to look once you got to college? After the accident that happened on Wednesday around 5:15pm, I would hope that most of you would realize that it could have been you lying in the road. I do not know all the details, because it was minutes after I had crossed, but I hope anyone involved in the accident is alright. I understand everyone is in a hurry to get home or to work so you just walk out to get to your car thinking "they'll stop, I'm a pedestrian, I have the right a way" but that won't always play in your favor. With the new lot F open, the line of cars trying to leave down the hill is incredible! Why not instead of walking by yourself across the road, holding up that line of traffic, you wait until there is a group of students t o cross. Let the cars get out as well, I'm sure they are in just as big of a hurry as you are. We can't always have the campus police out there directing traffic so we need to be adults here and pay attention! Don't just step off the curb and HOPE the cars see you and stop, because they may not. I don't think we'll be getting a traf- fic light with the flashing hand allowing you to cross anytime soon so until then, look both ways before you cross, and let a few cars go until there are a few people to walk across with you.

It's easy to watch and easy on the brain. There isn't much plot, just pure entertainment. If you like movies like Lost Boys, Duces Wild, and American Outlaws, you'll like The Covenant Although the five boys, Caleb (Steven Strait)* Progue (Taylor Kitsch), Chase (Sebastion Stan),Reid (Toby Hemingway), and Tylef (Chance Crawford) are descendants from witches, they use something like super powers friore than spells and chants. Hurling balls of energy at one another, the boys struggle to maintain control of this addictive habit because using the powers they have will lead to very premature aging. The action scenes are fun and the special effects are well done, but not overdone. There are a lot of similar looking characters, which is a little confusing at first, but once you place seven or so names with characters, it's an enjoyable movie. There are also a few scantily clad girls weaved into the movie to add some diversity, but they don't have much to do with the story. As far as suspense goes, it doesn't have it. This is an action film with hot bodies. There aren't any surprises and the end is left Open for a sequel. There's no question about who the bad guy is and no misleading suspects. Everything is laid out for the audience as they watch the characters figure out what they already know. There are a few minor issues that you just have to ignore in order to enjoy this film. The first and most obvious is the appearance of ghosts or spirits called "darklings" are never explained. The characters know what they are, but the audience is kept in the dark. Fortunately, they don't seem to do much except give the audience a cheap thrill. There are also a few characters introduced in the beginning that serve no purpose in the mpvie, adding identity confusion to an already overstuffed cast of young,, attractive actors. It's hard enough to tell them apart without adding needless characters. One last thing that I found annoying was the use of dialogue to explain the plot. Despite these faults of this movie, I did enjoy living in a fantasy world for an hour and a half where regular people get to have super natural powers. Where the good guy is completely good and the bad guy is almost completely bad. The Covenant is probably not going to win any awards, but it will keep you entertained.

Noone seems to agree on the origins of the Margarita, theories ranging from a bar owner in Acapulco named Margarita, and a bartender infatuated with a young lady named Margarita. However, this much is certain: the originator and all those who expanded upon his or her recipe are~true innovators in the colorful world of mixed drinks. A Strawberry Margarita has four basic i ngredients: tequila, strawberries, lime juice, and triple sec. It may come as a surprise that so many variations have been derived from this basic recipe. Still, while some prefer to use fresh strawberries, some prefer frozen, and others simply must have frozen sliced strawberries in syrup to please their sweet tooth, Tequila is another bone of contention as many have their own favorite brand. Arguably, however, any silver tequila will add a distinctiveflavorwhose heat will still juxtapose beautifully with the icy sweetness of the 'rita. The biggest difference, perhaps, between the various Strawberry 'Ritas out there, is the method of blending. In some, the ingredients are stirred together with ice in a mixing glass and strained into a margarita glass. In others, the ingredients are tossed into a blender and intermingled into a slushy consistency: Yet, no matter what recipe or Photo by Sophie Brink / The Pride method is preferred, the Strawberry Margarita will leave its drinker duly refreshed. A respectable Strawberry Margarita recipe (one serving): 1 Vi ounces silver tequila, 14 ounce Cointreau, 1 ounce fresh lime juice (or Rose's lime juice for a sweeter flavor), 4 ounces frozen strawberries (partially thawed), 1 scoop ice, Lime slice,1 fresh strawberry, Coarse sugar. Combine all ingredients, save for the lime slice, fresh strawberry, and coarse sugar, in a blender and blend until desired consistency is achieved. Rub the rim of a margarita glass with lime and dip into coarse sugar t o coat. Pour- mixture into glass and garnish with the fresh strawberry. Enjoy! IP ^^W^OKï^Itt j y E ÉU BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer September marks the end of sumijier, aad;as suclr it i i the last chance to enjoy summer brews and the fruitflavoredbeers. Thefirsttime I had a Pete's Wicked Strawberry Blonde, I was a little apprehensive. The name brought to mind images of a number of sugary "malt beverages" such as Smirnoff Ice or Mike's Hard Lemonade. While many people enjoy those sorts of drinks, I am overpowered by their sweetness. So it took a considerable amount of Restaurant reassurance before I tried one and the result was an enjoyable afternoon and a new summer tradition. . P e t e ' s Wicked Strawberry Blonde is a Golden Lager brewed and bottled since the late 1980's by Pete's Brewing Company in San Antonio, Texas. I t ^ widely available beer, usually J ol| in six and twelve packs for a reasonable price. Pete's Wicked Strawberry Blonde is brewed with pale and wheat malts, and yakima and tettnang hops. At five percent alcohol per Photo by David Gatley / The Pride volume, it's an excellent beer for a warm afternoon, though its unique taste may not be ideal for a extended drinking session. Pete's Wicked Strawberry Blonde pours smooth, leaving a thick, rich head which dissolves slowly leaving ropy lacings on the side of the glass. The beer itself is a pleasantly clear amber color. As it pours, you can clearly smell the wheat and a hint of strawberryflavor.It has a slightly sweet andfruitytaste, but not an over powering one. Hie titular strawberry taste is not an artificial sort of strawberry candyflavor;instead it's more like the actual berry's taste. The beer as a whole has a deep and smooth taste; the sweetness of strawberry tempered against the rich, full taste of the wheat malt. The mouthfeel is cool and refreshing, and slightly crisp and carbonated. The aftertaste is a little flat, but not unpleasant. Although available year round, this beer is best appreciated during the long days of summer; and since those days are quickly running out, it's best to enjoy a few before you miss your opportunity for the year. Review: arieta's F ine Mexican Food BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer Marieta's Fine Mexican Food is one of 18 restaurants in Old California Restaurant Row, a mission-style complex that also offers a variety ofboutiques and an Edward's Cinema. Located on San Marcos Boulevard, Restaurant Row is less than three miles from CSUSM. The visitor to Marieta's, upon entering, is enveloped by the smell of Mexican spices and a softy buzzing energy. Low, rough-hewn beamed ceilings support hanging lamps of colored glass and numerous string lights of various shapes and sizes. The relative dimness contributes to the overall feeling of intimacy of the interior. Painted in hues of green and honey-beige, the walls are bedecked with ceramic sun sculptures, wooden carvings, sepia-toned photographs, and paintings, one in particular depicting women dancing in a courtyard and clad in traditional mantillas. The evening my husband and I visited, in less than five minutes the hostess had showed us to our table, our server had taken our order for drinks and an appetizer, and chips and salsa had been delivered to our table. Our server remained speedy and attentive, indeed brisk, the rest of the evening. Patrons of the restatfraat were diverse, including|pmil^ groups and young and^oider couples. All seemed relaxed and happy, diving into carne asada, enchiladas, tacos, and other fare with a healthy gusto. The presentation of my meal, Enchiladas Suizas, was simple, rice on one side, beans on the other, two enchiladas in between that were smothered in cheese and green tomatillo sauce and stuffed with moist, flavorful, shredded chicken. For the tequila connoisseur or those simply seeking to become intimately acquainted with tequila, Marieta's boasts a collection of 50. One of the 50 managed to find its merry way into my strawberry margarita, smoothly blended and garnished with a slice of orange. For two entrees, two drinks, and %o$e, appetizer we paid $42188.

The crosscountry team is comprised of roughly 40-50 members and began training the 24th of August under the guidance of the coaches. "A handful are from Cal State and a vast majority are transfers from J.C,'s aiid high school," says Coach Scott. As a professional athlete in track and field for 10-15 years, Coach Scott is still racing competitively at the masters level. "The one thing that I really like so far is that there's a lot of team unity. They get along with each other. These guys all come from different areas," comments Coach Scott. Take for example Amy Taylor f rom Rancho Double Sessions for North County Schools? Bernardo High School, who was also a state finalist in the hurdles, and Marcus Chandler, state champion in the mile. These are just a few of the great names on the team. " It's the people that come on that you didn't expect. Those are the ones that are really great.

I never seemed to notice him before, but lately I wait for his subtle hints and flirtations with great anticipation. I am worried about breaking one of the cardinal rules of dating, however: Don't go out with someone you work with. What do you think? — Dateless and Divorced Other than telling you to keep your main focus on your children who must be the most important creatures in your life, I recommend that you forget that rule. Unless you are a volatile person (or he is) then you needn't avoid a relationship with him. I find it awfully cute that you get that "rush" from his subtle flirtations and there is a lot of richness in just those acts that we tend to ignore. It will be tricky, no doubt, to figure out what his feelings are towards you. Perhaps you can get some dinner after work and chat over a glass of Cabernet. You need to carefully assess if he is "interested" in you and pursue the relationship if he is. You can't seem aggressive at work because that could create problems. If you become friendly enough, just tell him about your feelings without any pressure—just as you expressed them to me. ^Lf he feels similarly, he will likely reciprocate with some words of encouragement for a budding relationship. That rule about not getting together with a coworker is meant for those who can't handle their emotions. Ask yourself this: could you break up with him and still remain cordial? If not, then it'd probably be best to not get involved. If yes, then the workplace is a good place to meet people. You already share something in life and perhaps more because your job may attract a particular type of person that is suited for you. Good luck and please remember that your worth as a person, mom, or whatever does not change according to your dating status. Dear Psyche Fairy, Your response to Josh in the August 30 issue of The Pride was insightful and prompts a question that has puzzled me for many years. As homosexuals are attracted to those of the same sex both mentally and physically, why are gays aroused and/or entertained when men impersonate women?—Evelyn Evelyn, this question seemed so silly to me that I wasn't sure if it is a serious curiosity. First, you must understand that there are differences between attraction, arousal, and entertainment. In terms of being entertained, my friend jokingly asks, "Am I a lesbian because I am entertained by female Ticket Erasers W Online Traffic School • Only $19.95 Owned/Operated by CSUSM Alumni Visit our Web Site or caii 800-723-1955 www.ticketerasers.com Serving the fermenting community since 1971 ; i s&f s ll s mm m G&ajts Mim* w carrfia cp^ip^^^ep^pl^c > o r o n e uw Be er S d • iifficur* tWgar oa m W Sn M«s Bv . . a ao l d 40 HH HR PRWY #1 'j * ' > ? /,. / ' ^ t 5 J C L AK A 12 r Sn Mro, C. 909 ' a ac s a 26 .

Just because gays (and lesbians...and bisexuals...and straights) are entertained by drag queens we cannot assume that they are attracted to these drag queens. Arousal, on the other hand, can be accomplished in many ways. If I blindfolded you and told you that your lover was going to pleasure you, do you think y ou'd know if I replaced this lover with myself? Since arousal is a physiological reaction to a physical stimulus, I could touch or lick you in the right places to make you feel aroused. People can be aroused by many things, trust me. Finally, attraction is not a set-in-stone type phenomenon. Haven't you ever been attracted to someone who later turns you o ff? Sometimes you want dark chocolate, the next day, mocha. Now, to get to the heart of your question, I have to shatter your image and inform you that many drag queens "go home with" straight men! Yes, some gay men are attracted to drag queens, but not most. Why do you think most gay ads contain beefcakes? Why do so many straight men pick up on drag queens? That is up to you to discover, but sometimes it represents a sexual frolic that is easily hidden from their girlfriends/wives and requires no commitment. Samantha M. Cahill Leiana S. A. Naholowaa Cynthia C. Woodward Madeleine E Marshall Staff Columnist Through this artist's paintings, we can view the hills and canyons before they were invaded by houses and shopping malls. G riffith's landscapes impart a feeling of the open air and concentrate on scenes directly from nature classifying him as a plein air painter. The impressionists, as well as the painters of the Barbizon school, made this style of painting an important dimension of their landscape work. Oceanside Museum spokesperson, Ellen Stotmeister, explained that it is not necessary to be an art expert to appreciate this collection. The viewer is immediately aware of what Griffith was try- ing to accomplish. "You don't have to sit back and contemplate this artist's intent, it is beautifully apparent,' Stotmeister said. The museum, a privately funded center at 704 Pier View Way occupies the formei Oceanside City Hall which is listed on the national Register oi Historic Places. The gallery's limited space does not allow permanent exhibits, but the Griffith collection can be viewed through November 14, Tuesday through Saturday 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, and Sunday, 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Admission is $3.00 f or non-members, $2.00 f or stu dents, military and seniors. Why am I, a part-time student (three hours two nights a week), required to pay the same parking, Associated Students, Recreation Program, Health Service, Health Facilities, IRA, Student Union, Student Recreation and Recreation fees as a fiill-time student? These fees total $93.1 have an 8:00 am to 5:00 pm j ob which prevents me from using most of these services because they are not available in the evening. Why am I not, at least, given a choice of whether or not I want to participate in them? When I began my night school studies at this university two years ago, it was because a degree program designed to assist the working student was promoted. In many cases what I find is the evening student is penalized because they pay in full for services that, in most cases they have no need for, but if they did, are not available to them. If Cal State San Marcos is planning to increase their part-time evening student enrollment, I vigorously suggest they modify these inequities. D EAR EDITORS: Evelyn Choroser ° N APRIL 2 2 a n d 23> 1 9 9 9 > t h e University changed its mascot from Tukwut to Cougar. The Administration arranged for the students of CSUSM to vote on their new mascot. Under the guise of fairness, Cougar was selected. The little known fact about the choices on the allegedly fair vote is that after 10 years of being the mascot of the University 'Tukwut' was NOT one of the options for mascot on the ballot. Why? Tukwut (pronounced 'too-kwoot") is apparently too difficult to pronounce. The pioneering students of this campus were given the charge of finding a mascot for the University some ten years ago. True to the Mission Statement of the University, the group of students sought a symbol that represented the cultural history and richness of the area. After spending some time researching, these students discovered that the Luiseno Tribe were the original inhabitants. In keeping with their quest to be respectful of history of the land and its people, the group of students made contact with Villana Hyde, a Luiseno Indian. This great woman had created a dictionary of Luiseno words in English. She presented the word Tukwut to the students as a gift. The word Tukwut in Luiseno means mountain lion. The students, grateful for this gift, accepted the word from Villana Hyde. By omitting Tukwut from the ballot, the administration has chosen to disregard this gift and the will of the students at CSUSM. The time has come to take a stand! While it is true that they gave the students a chance to vote for an "official" mascot, the omission of Tukwut stands as a glaring example of insensitivity and disregard for the students' rights to influence the culture and direction of their University. This is an act of injustice! In the words of one administrative official on campus, "We can change things at the University and the students wouldn't even know." Is this what we want? Do we want things to be changed at OUR University without us knowing? The time has come to take a stand! All we are asking for is the opportunity for a FAIR vote. Let's give Tukwut a fair chance on a ballot. Give the Itakwut another chance to be heard.

You may have noticed a special bunch of young men and women cleaning the rest rooms and emptying trash cans on campus. They are college-age special education students from Vista Unified School District here to acquire vocational training. "Janitorial skills are not what they are being taught", said director John Hull, " but skills that are needed in the workplace such as responsibility, showing up on time, and the ability to achieve their goals." Kathy DeLar assists John in the instruction of the ten developmentally delayed students. She says that some days teaching can be a challenge because of the special learning styles of each of the students. Each stu- iwmmmmm S ImHHHH m dent learns differently, essence, "it's like teaching ten different classes every day." Mr. Hull would like fellow students at CSUSM to understand that these students have the same desires as all young adults at this age, to get a job and be productive in society. In the past these young people were shut away from society. Today, due to mainstreaming in schools, they are a vital, flourishing part of our community. "Being developmentally delayed is not catching", Hull stated. When you pass one of these special students somewhere on campus, smile and say, "Hi!" It's been called the "Blockbuster Video" of GSUSM, but it's better. It's FREE. But Media Services, located in Craven 4221, is not a mini-Blockbuster, says Dannis Mitchell, Media Desk Supervisor. It has a lot more to offer than just videos. Media Services contains a wealth of resources for students and faculty. The library's collection of non-print materials includes popular movies* foreign language films in a surprising array of languages, documentaries, and closed-captioned materials for the hearing-impaired. Students can check out foreign films like Fellini's "La Dolce Vita" or Kurosawa's "Rashomon" alongside Ford Coppola's "The Godfather" trilogy. Media Services also house over 3,000 "media-controlled" videotapes, those which can only be watched in the center or taken to class for presentations. These include documentaries like the ten-volume "The History of Rock and Roll" to such programs as "Women of See Media pg. 4 Professor Vourlitis Examines Deforestation in Brazil VISTA continued from page 1 By June Hodges PRIDE STAFF WRITER on the March 2000 General Election Ballot. The OPTIONS Committee stated that if a bond is not approved the District "must adopt double s essions," beginning September 2000. The Board listened to the r ecommendations of other community members including a r epresentative of the Vista Teachers Association, VOICE (a grassroots organization formed to petition the Board f or a bond measure), City C ouncilman Ed Estes, and n umerous citizens of Vista. All declared repeatedly that a b ond m easure would allow the district to solve the critical dilemma of over- If? li crowding. The bond measure appears revived and on October 2 8 th , the Board will meet again to decide formally whether or not to place this measure on the March ballot. Dr. George Vourlitis, ecologist and CSUSM professor, stepped into the Brazilian rain forest on Aug. 19,1999, and fulfilled a boyhood dream. He and his collaborators from Universid Federal de Mato Grosso were there to conduct documented research on the effects of deforestation. Most of us have read how "It is thought that destruction of the rain forest causes global warming." This hypothesis has been floating around for most of our lives in print and media, and yet no one has proven it. The opportunity came for Vourlitis two years ago when he read a NASA solicitation for proposals to do the study. A US proposal would need strong Brazilian cooperation and collaboration to ensure a successful outcome. Through email communication with ecologists living in or near rain forests, Vourlitis found the scientists in the Mato Grosso area fitted the specific NASA recommendations. They were willing to travel to the United States at their own expense to learn the necessary methods and technology. This begins with the conversion of land to agriculture, then to pasture, and the subsequent return to New Forest growth.

While NASA was unable to fund the research at this time, Vourlitis was commended by Michael Keller, chair of the NASA LB A (Large-scale Biosphere Atmospheric) experiment, who told him the study was badly needed by the space agency. He asked Vourlitis to submit the proposal again. Not wanting to wait any longer, Vourlitis and his fellow scientists decided to solicit seed money for the project.

Imagine a world without the migratory birds that breed in the tropics but raise their young in the U.S. Birds are natural predators of those insect pests that can ruin crops and other vegetation. Large amounts - of water also cycle through the tropics. Without trees, water would evaporate quickly causing atmospheric pressure changes, climate and weather changes, and a change in our life styles. Tropical rain forests have contributed medicines, foods, and fiber to Americans through the years. The genetic basis for many U.S. Crops originated in tropical regions. Potential genetic origins for improving known crops and creating new ones would be lost if rain forests no longer existed. CLASSIFIEDS dents to get more mlormation about becoming involved on campus.

Recordings include world music from Nepal, Thailand, India, Aboriginal Australia, and Greece. A large Frank Zappa collection stands on the same rack as Igor Stravinsky and Selena Rock, pop, country, classical, jazz, blues, and international music can be played in-house or taken home. Students may check out a maximum of two C D's and two videos for a period of one week, with no renewals. The Media Library also has individual listening and viewing stations for those who prefer to sample their media on-site. A collection of slides, mostly images of art and architecture, is in the midst of a cataloguing project, and will be available for students to use next semester. The Media Library also has equipment available for checkout, such as laser light pointers, portable slide projectors and overhead projectors, CD and cassette players, portable PA systems, VHS camcorders (with faculty signature) and tripods. Did the school go to all this trouble just to entertain the students? Actually, Mitchell says, all of the materials are purchased "with curriculum in mind." She estimates that twothirds of the collection consists of academic material. So when you drop by the Media Center to see what it has to offer, remember, it's for your education.

California Governor Gray Davis ordered the shutdown of all CSU campuses, after the apparent terrorist attacks on the East Coast. "We were very impressed with how everyone on campus responded and cooperated with the evacuation," said Sgt. McCullough. According to Sgt. Bill McCullough of the campus police, when the officers received the order, they began a systematic evacuation of all buildings on campus. They began with University Hall and worked their way westward on campus.

Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19,1995 is regarded as the worst terrorist act in history committed on U.S. soil - until now. 168 people died in the Oklahoma bombing, and the nation waited for more than six years for some sort of resolution to the tragedy. The execution of Timothy McVeigh on June 11, 2001, brought that resolution, in some ways, for the families and friends of the victims - indeed, the nation as a whole. Now, three months to the day after that execution, the nation remains at a standstill - waiting for news, for instructions, for hope and for a death toll too staggering to comprehend. The United States has been lucky in many ways to be spared the sort of large-scale terrorist activities so common to other nations, particularly those of the Middle East. Now, we face an attack of such magnitude that it has prompted numerous comparisons to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II. The day that "will live in infamy" in the minds and hearts of Americans will, quite possibly, stand alongside Sept. 11, 2001 as one of the most brutal and tragic the American people will continue to write about and remember in history books, churches and institutions around the nation. New York's World Trade Center was bombed Feb. 29,1993. Five people were killed and thousands injured. Now, that same building, orie that houses more than 100,000 workers and visitors each day, is no longer intact - its famous twin towers gone from the city skyline, crumbled and smoking in the streets of New York. Nearly 300 people perished in the hijacked planes alone; between 100 and 150 people leaped to their death from the building. The death toll will continue to mount as those who perished in the building are discovered and counted. How does this stack up against other terrorist attacks the U.S. has experienced? Most acts of terrorism in the nation have involved small-scale, extremist groups or movements with specific objectives. Aside from the previous bombing of the World Trade Center, the Oklahoma City bombing and incidents involving the U.S. Capitol Building and Mobil Oil Headquarters in New York, most cases of terrorism aimed at the U.S. have taken place far from home. In 1983, the U.S. Embassy in Beirut was bombed; 63 people » Article cont. on pg 4 �Editorial Tuesday's terrorist attacks have brought the nation together. Now what remains to be seen is how this tragedy will affect the future. Thankfully, we know that in the. following months, Americans will pull together to heal the wounded and clear the wreckage. However, what remains unclear is how to "punish" the nameless villain/s. In his address to the nation, President George Bush vowed to "hunt down and punish" who ever is responsible for this attack. That was a passionate and immediate reaction. Now it is clear, after thousands have died, after three towers have been destroyed, after the Pentagon burned, that our nation's leaders must respond with cau- Chancellor Reed Reaches out to Faculty TO: AH CSU Employees CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed Today our country experienced a life-changing tragedy that has left us all feeling shaken and deeply saddened. I am sure that many of you, like me, felt a sense of shock and helplessness as we watched the events unfold on television. My heart goes out to the many families who have been affected by this disaster. At the CSU, the safety of our students and employees is our highest priority. We will continue to monitor the security of our campuses and facilities to ensure that all students and employees have a safe working environment. You will be receiving ongoing communication from your campus about the status of classes and other events that may need to be rescheduled. I thank you all for your cooperation arid assistance during this difficult time. You and your families remain in my thoughts and prayers. Education Professor Speaks to Students Dear Students, It is with deep regret that we could not meet with you on Tuesday. Sometimes the events of the world remind us of how precious we are to each other, and I know you all join us in mourning the loss of so many of our fellow citizens. It is a tragic day that we will always remember, and in your own reflections, as you hold your loved ones a bit closer today, please keep in your hearts, thoughts, or prayers the people throughout the world whose lives are affected by this terrible tragedy. It is a day of reflection and grief. As I sat in the auditorium of that elementary school in Massachusetts so many years ago, with all of the children and teachers of my school, watching and waiting to celebrate the first teacher's journey into space, I never imagined that any tragedy could ever more deeply pain us and leave us with a feeling of such helplessness. Yet the magnitude of today's events has certainly done that. As teachers, we will at times be called upon to be unreasonably strong in the face of adverse times, and to set aside our best laid plans in favor of a different and deeper level of commitment and communication. Your instincts to do so will overtake you, and you will be well and right to follow them. For those of you who go back into the public schools this week, you will have an opportunity to observe and participate in this way, however untimely and premature it may feel in your sense of professional readiness. It will be your kindness, your generous and genuine caring, and your humanity that will accompany you. Use these in abundance. In kind, we will be here for you, and in our own ways, we will set aside less important plans to hold each other up with care and compassion. Toni Hood Assistant Professor College of Education tion rather than revenge. There is no doubt that this event was shocking, confusing, surreal, and heartbreaking for Americans. But we must use our wits instead of our emotions. Right now, the nation can only speculate about who the monsters are and their reasoning. So, let's speculate. The fact is that this was a well-planned attack that took a lot of time, energy, and money to carry out. If the United States takes a highly aggressive stance against a large unknown, we may be inadver- tently initiating war. The terrorists have provoked Americans and we have the opportunity to respond with fists or respond with intelligence. We vote intelligence. An intelligent response would include an investigation into why, followed by peace talks and negotiations. It will take a lot of courage to work with the attackers, rather than seek sudden revenge for our losses. But we at CSUSM know, "si se puede; it can be done." . Campus Official in Paris Shares Thoughts On exchange this year at our partner university near Paris, I experienced the news of the horror of the coordinated attacks in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvnia at a different time and in a different space than my colleagues at San Marcos. Still, I am certain that we shared a very similar moment of disbelief, disgust, disillusionment, and dismay. As I was in the middle of preparations to conduct courses and meetings that seek to extend global understanding and cooperation between our students and universities, I faced the overpowering evidence that fundamental differences remain that we cannot simply smile away as misunderstanding or misinterpretation. Whether this heinous act had its origin within or outside of the United States, it remains terrible proof that indoctrination, zealotry, and narrow, fundamentalist thinking easily destroys the belief in our common humanity. The terrorists believed that they were attacking a system and its ideas, without care for the individuals, their families, friends, and loved ones. Although many have turned against the idea of "liberal humanism" as a false promise of progress, and insist on the values that separate us, I confess that I was most horrified by the individuals, forced from a burning, crumbling tower, who felt that their only choice was a quick jump to death. When ideologies clashed, I couldn't help seeing the helpless individual caught in between. As individuals, .we must resist the easy temptations of hatred and of unthinking revenge, while still protecting our shared values of freedom anddemocracy. Apparently, protecting those ideologies (which I wish were realized much more fully in both the' U,S. and in Europe), there will be terrible conflicts and casualties. Yet even under attack, our foremost thoughts should be of how we can best contribute to peace, prosperity, tolerance, and human understanding for all nations and peoples with whom we share this planet. We never can afford to lower ourselves to the level of unholy terrorists. The Pride tronic mail to The Pride electronic mail account, rather than the individual editors.

Instead she said, "Turn on the T.V. The World Trade Center and the Pentagon have been blown up.". Wiping the sleep from my eyes and searching for consciousness, my nightmare began. On the world, scale, the U.S. w4s under terrorist siege, but in my small world the effects hit more directly. I was confused and scared that Jennifer called to say she wasn't arriving in San Diego today, and possibly not for some time. Helpless to do anything, I could only listen to the fact that our country, the most powerful entity in the world, was systematically being shut down. As the events of my morning unfolded, I noticed one overall encompassing notion. Not a halfhour passed, and I had spoken * w|th and assured the well being of both my families. In less than a month, Jennifer and I are getting married, and to me the good I can see behind all the pain and suffering is the family and friends. It is astounding to me to be a part of not just one, but two families. The power and importance of family has always been unmatched in my life, but to directly feel the love, support, and concern is refreshing. It was an immediate and heartfelt reaction from everyone to ensure the safety and well being of each other. I have family and friends World Mourns Unthinkable Loss of Life By CHRIS ING Pride Staff Writer The shock of Tuesday's tragedy on the East Coast hangs palpably in the air, even here in San Diego, as the nation and the world mourn an unthinkable loss of life, the result of an apparent act of terrorism. As officials and experts speculate about who may be responsible for this atrocity, the reality is that we are only beginning to understand what exactly happened in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania. The death and injury toll may well climb into the thousands, and the cost of such an event is incalculable. The oft-repeated phrase "unprecedented attack," accompanied by the horrific images of people jumping to their deaths from 90floorsup, and the planes slamming into the towers, will be indelibly marked not only in our minds but in the consciousness of the American public for years to come. We are only in our infancy of comprehending the effect that this tragedy will have. For those of us lucky enough not to have been around during the Pearl Harbor era, we have no reference point for an event of this magnitude. Although images of death and violence are sadly all too common in our culture, to have such scenes visited upon American soil elevates this tragedy to another level. Questions of national security, flight safety, and terrorist policy will all certainly be raised in the ensuing aftermath. And though we may make improvement in these areas in times to come, the damage may be already done. Like many of us who turned on the television this morning, I was at first shocked at the image of the New York skyline irrevocably altered. (An image that only begins to convey the scope of the tragedy). As more details became forthcoming, the reality of what this all meant hit home: all U.S air space closed until further notice, and rumors of the U.S.Canada and U.S.-Mexico borders closing. Reports only seemed to induce more terror. I called my parents in Canada, friends, and loved ones, anxious to reach out to as many people as I could, to feel some human connection with the people I hold dear. My sister-in-law called from San Francisco, a city whose historic bridges were closed indefinitely, to say she and her family were unharmed. She has a close friend whose husband was on the San Francisco-bound plane that crashed in Pennsylvania. He had called her while the plane was being hijacked, as people a ll. around him were being stabbed and tortured. He knew he would not escape and had called to say goodbye. I cried then as I cry now writing this. I cry for that husband whose last minutes on this Earth are the things nightmares are made of; I cry for the wife who must bear the memory of her husband on that plane as he said his last farewell; I cry for the unimaginable loss of life and ' the tragedy that has and will continue to touch all our lives; I cry for all the hate and violence that breeds only hopelessness and despair in our world; I cry at the thought of what consequences retaliation may bring; I cry because I am scared. To all the people whose lives were needlessly lost and to those of us left behind to mourn: I offer love, strength, and a silent prayer for peace. spread out across the United States and internationally. Not only did I hear from those close by, I also received a call from my brother who lives in Costa Rica, almost immediately following the incident. He was not only checking on-me, but Jennifer and her family as well, knowing they live in southern Maryland, an area not far from D.C. Jennifer is trapped in Pittsburgh, and can only wait and see what route to take as the dust settles (so to speak). She is alone, knowing only that she wants to be home, either in Maryland or here in San Diego, not stuck somewhere in-between. Marriage is the symbolic act of joining two individuals and their families. It bonds together people from different lives, creating a larger family. As I share my experiences and feelings on the day the world stopped, I can only hope the image myfamilies create is not just an isolated world, but a representation of our country as a whole, bound by love and concern for the well being of all. Students Respond Differently to Tragedy By CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Feature Editor and LISA LIPSEY Pride Opinion Editor During Tuesday's catastrophe many students responded with reverence and compassion. Yet if someone took a short walk through Founders Plaza, one could see students reacting in a variety of ways. Because of Club Week, many affiliations hung around to recruit new members. As we walked from The Pride office to Academic Hall, we saw that Commons 206 was full of students who had gathered to watch the events unfold. Further down the walkway, someone had set out a U.S. flag. A Christian organization invited all students to, "Come and pray for New York, our nation, and our world." Their actions were fitting, considering the level of destruction that was occurring in our country. What disappointed us, however, was the competition between the fraternities Tau Kappa Epsilon and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, who were showing off by playing loud and vulgar music. How could they do that when so many students were obviously distressed and a moment of silence was needed? In our opinion, this was clearly an act of ignorarice and apathy. in Community Church Vigi By Bonnie Vandewater I find it unfortunate that it takes a tragedy like the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks to bring our nation together. However, I'm impressed by the way our community pulls together during disasters such as these. People seem to jump at a chance to respond in any way they can. In fact, the phone lines to the various blood banks around San Diego County were busy for hours and Hie blood banks had lines of more than 200 people waiting to give blood. The San Diego Blood Bank is so overwhelmed with donations that their website urges people to make donations over the next week because they cannot accommodate all of the donations today. Yet the need for blood will still be great. Still, I want to do something. Right now. Today. I feel guilty that I was able to walk my dog this morning, grab a bagel and coffee, and sit and watch this tragedy unfold in the comfort of my living room more than 3,000 miles away from these attacks. I can't fly to New York to volunteer my time. J can't donate my blood today. I can't even talk to my friend who just moved to New York City last month to see if she's okay. The only thing I can do is pray. So, tonight I will join prayer forces with Pomerado Christian Church in Poway where our nation's flag will hold prominence, people of different beliefs will join hands in prayer, candles will be lit to honor those we have lost, and perhaps a seed of hope will be restored to our little corner of the nation.

National Hispanic Heritage Month began in 1968 when Congress deemed it to celebrate the contributions and achievements of the diverse cultures within the Hispanic community. It originally started as one short week from Sept.15 and 16. The dates were chosen to commemorate two key historic events: Mexican Independence Day, and the signing act of Independence for Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. On Aug. 17, 1988, the week long festivities were extended into a month when Congress approved the decision to do so.

Resident fraternity TKE has already managed to collect over $2,000 in relief funds, and the number is still growing. "We organized a carwash, but most of the money is coming from direct donations of Alumni and those with family in Louisiana," said Adrian Segalla of TKE. "We're hoping to get the entire Greek community into organizing larger fundraising events." Apparently people have been more than willing to help out anyone who asks, and anyone interested in helping out, whether by donation of funds, goods, or time, can contact Adrian Segalla at wooperl72@hotmail.com ity to seat 120 students. The auditorium classroom has a Distance Conference capability which allows guest speakers an ability to lecture students without ever having to step foot in California. The new building will also offer two new computer labs. The computer labs feature retractable computers, where accessing a computer means the computer will elevate out of the desk for use and folds back up inside the desk. So many new renditions to Cal State San Marcos' campus will come with the opening of the business building next spring.

CA 92008 �FEATURES THE PRIDE Successful Student Tuesday; September 13, 2005 Jason Williams BY JASON HOBBS Pride Staff Writer How do you define success? Quite possibly a different way than I do, but I'm going to go ahead and try to explain why Jason "Elm St." Williams is a success, and how he's just begun. Williams is a senior at Cal State San Marcos and will be graduating in the spring of2006 with his Bachelors degree in Communications, and a minor in Sociology. Not only does Williams already have plans for himself after college, he began his career a long time ago. At 23 years old, Williams has already sold approximately 3,000 of his professionally pressed CD entitled "Tha Hurdlez" and several hundred mix-tapes. Williams is currently preparing to hit the studio sometime next year and is planning on releasing two or three mix-tapes before summer 2006 to help promote his upcoming CD which should be released during the summer of 2006. Williams says he is already looking for a reggae/rock/skafusion band to back him on a few tracks and is "going for a different sound and growing musically." Williams overcomes adversities everyday. Like many others, he does homework and attends classes. But unlike many others, Williams is currently in the midst of potentially problematic legal issues* and still finds time to sell his CD and promote himself so that he can further his career as a musician and entertainer. "If you believe in yourself, don't give up!" said Williams. "I'm going to pursue life; pursue my destiny." says Williams. After college, Williams is going to pursue his music career as Elm St. and plans on being a substitute teacher part-time as Jason Williams. As far as Williams sees it, he speaks the truth, but acknowledges that he does not know everything. He wants to learn and grow to become a better person. As Elm St., Williams hopes to inspire with his lyrics and hopes to teach the world something different through his music, "It seems in this race of life, no man is winning, because death isn't an ending, it is truly the beginning of living. A way for all human kind to start winning.", As a philosopher, Williams hopes to inspire as well explaining, "People think that only one man can change the world, but everyone can help change the world." Williams aims high, he has apparently turned down a record deal in the six figure range, and he's not going to sign until he gets a seven figure deal offer. But it's not just about the signing bonus, Williams says, "It's really Image courtesy of Jason Williams about the right business deal. The music industry will get you famous before it gets you rich. I'm not going to go multi-plati- num and be broke." Williams is readily available to discuss how to purchase his CD for only $10.

The Dome Café received money over the summer for the purpose of renovation and revitalization. Christopher Wood, food service manager, took the opportunity to make some changes he thought would appeal to students, staff and faculty. In the end, Wood refurbished the whole look of the Dome café by adding different themes and styles. With the new themes and menu items, students have many choices. DW, the salad bar, has a new look while offering'fresh vegetables, dressings^ and toppings for a fresh green salad. Another choice is The Grill. The Grill displays an industrial stainless steel theme with firedup grills ready to cook food as it's ordered. At The Grill cougars may order hamburgers, tuna melts, grill cheese sandwiches, and BLT's. "The Pizza wall color, which is painted Crimson red, Sub Shop wall color, is white and Tacos and Burritos wall is colored green all together represent the Mexican flag and Italian flag.

Well, sports fans I am back. Wow, things sure have changed since I have been gone. As you might remember I left The Pride and my sports column because of a lack of time and because I didn't like the direction the paper was going. None of us figured that the sports section would disappear if I left. Granted, the editors tried to find a replacement for me but after two articles that experiment was done and so was the sports section. Apparently I had the foresight to see things were going to get ugly. An embarrassing timeline of events didn't exactly put the paper in the best light, such as the paper getting into an argument with athletic director Dr. Stephen Nichols. Also, having the University find out that one of the editor's in chief was trying to push her own agenda wasn't exactly a good thing. All of that is in the past now and I am looking forward to working with the new editor in chief, Patrick B. Long and the new advisor Dr. Anthony Hurst. Having an editor in chief who actually wants to have a sports section makes me believe that there will be great improvement in this section over the semester. Having one person take over the role that has been filled by tjyo people for F REE WANTED $17.00 per hour Photo c ourtesy of Josh Sandoval quite some time will be a bit of a change, but one that I think will benefit everyone. Dr. Hurst is the new advisor for the paper and he will have some big shoes to fill as he replaces Jenifer Woodring, who was regarded highly by many on the staff. However, if anyone can fill the position, I am sure Dr. Hurst can. It also doesn't hurt him in my book that he is a big sports fan. In past semesters, for those of you that are new to CSUSM, I gave my opinion on various occurrences in national and local professional sports. I also reviewed sports movies, books, and TV shows. I will still discuss national topics but expect some articles thrown in every now and then regarding campus athletics. With the passing of the new athletic fee there will be a huge development in the athletic F IVE department over the next couple of years and that deserves more coverage from this newspaper and from me. Now this is where you readers are crucial. The two previous semesters that I did this column there were very few of you that actually gave me feedback on what you wanted to read about. It really wasn't until I left the paper that I realized so many people actually read this column. I figured this was just a space filler so I wrote a lot of my previous articles for me and what I thought was newsworthy. I want things to change so if you think something is important don't hesitate to Email me at sando026@csusm. edu. When you see me around campus don't be afraid to stop me and tell me your opinion. I may look scary but I won't bite. 1 087 W- San Mareos Blvd. \ Nappy Hour every iMF fnm 4*7pm , : * * flair tiptit feMMisil?»Suftday l i closeaitfciíig io England inJNlM > North County's Best < " arid Chtpssi 19 B e e r i ^ ^ Guinness Síoút .; ' ; Harp " ; ( ? . •: • Yellow^ Pa&Ale StOUt Newcastle Brow» ' BoddingtofVa Pub Ale , Stone Imperial Stout Ag&smiif* Wee Heavy ScolctiAlo • -; - : Smithwicks ¥4 , ; j S p ¡ P ^ FullersESS^C-s * - > / Dry Blackthorn M C ^ M s n M ] ^WMMMMi Enjoy English Classics like Bangers and Mash, Corned Beef Sandwich, Steak and Guinness Stew, Sausage Roils, Scotch Egg» nkka Masaia and morel! • 2 Real Dart Boards« Pool Table, Foosball Table, Digital Juke Box with 100,000 songs and EA's "PGA Tour" Golf J jpP 760-471 -0773-~www.churchHlspub.us F IVE 39Days BUY 1 MYSTIC I I p g f a n « Unliminted Level 11 MYSTIC TANS c TAN GET 1 FREE | SET O , r t " 3 j Premium Beds I ULTRA TANS p#$25 I 0^V$39 <#$4§ 0 Good for all CSUSM s Kmt n faculty! & t tm d JUMt Good for alCSUSM üwM anö i ^ ypgr-fi pf H % T he p ath y ou c hoose t oday c an l ead t o t omorrow's s uccess Four Ultra Browning »afe Alt NewLegTmwrs . v I>: > fíve Levek of Tanning Mystic UV Free Spray-on Tmning If you're ready t o apply your knowledge and skills in the post-graduation Job market, then toss your hat in with State Fund.

The dome has been Despite that fact, I am cerlauded for its menu changes tain not many of you wish me to attend class after eating a bean-heavy lunch; rice and beans can become boring. The other problem is the food service ingredient layouts. Most servers prepare food left to right. They scoop out their selection and drag it across the other items to the right to place it on the tortilla/plate/whatnot they are compiling. With the meat selections placed on the far left and the rice and beans placed directly to their right; many meat vittles have fallen into the rice and beans, sometimes to stay for some unsuspecting veggie (and no, picking out the meat is not a viable option... ever heard of transfer?) "Our" other grilled option is a veggie burger. How many people watch how their food is prepared? Here, veggie burgers are placed on the same side of the hamburger-fat-laden grill and the cooking time sped up by application of yet another hamburger-fatladen item: the bacon press! Doesn't that just scream vegetarian friendly?? I have yet to see the left side of the Grill's grill ever in use. Why not leave that side open and hot to cook animal-fatfree veggie burgers? Think french fries are an option? You don't even want me to tell you what gets cooked along with those. The final "option" is the salad bar or Sub Shop. Withered lettuce and tomatoes worthy of one of those "Attack of.. " movies are the highlights of those options. All I am asking really is to open up more options to those ofus who "live" on this campus up to 5 days a week. Straighten out the food-prep issues, use produce grown within the past 6 months, and give an opportunity in the "Lunch Specials" for a taste of Vegan flair. It is always easier to feed an omnivore vegetables, than to feed a vegetarian meatproducts. Where is that Vegan and Animal Rights Campus Club I read so much about before I transferred here? Did they all graduate and no one cares anymore?? Well I do and intend to do something about it. For now, I am brown-bagging it... just give me a water and Diet Pepsi...TO GO!

"The Exorcism of Emily Rose" holds true to the good old fashion scary movie theme.

Even though there are some similarities to "The Exorcist", the two movies definitely have their own flair.

BY TRACEY M. TURNER Pride Staff Writer Well, after all, jungle music was born in England and the Brits continue to produce first-rate music and put on a show like no other. The DJs in the jungle room were some awesome that I was reluctant to leave the area for any reason. From 6p.m. to 7p.m., Tech Itch, a DJ from England, started my night off smashingly, tearing up the turntables and forcing me and the expansive room full of my fellow 'junglists' (as drum and bass fans are commonly known), to dance our booties off. After a brief interlude, I tried out the exhilarating bungee trampoline jump stationed outside, I returned to the action and caught the UK's own DJ High Contrast in an amazing performance that surpassed all my preconceived expectations. From 9p.m. to 10p.m., UK DJ Pendulum ripped it up on the decks and blew me away with his energetic set. One trip around the promotional booths, merchandise tables, and food stands, and 3 purchased t-shirts later, I dashed back to NOS's Damus building (a warehouse like structure) just in time for a triple threat of the UK's (where else?) Grooverider, the larger-than-life Roni Size, and finally the explosive Andy C capping off the night with a bracing assault of rolling drum rhythms and pounding bass beats with MC GQ on the mic (that's microphone to you squares!) until 2a.m.. The shared enthusiasm of the fans, artists, and promoters lent an aura of enthusiasm to the whole affair and so went the 'junglistic fever' at the 11th Annual Nocturnal Wonderland, presented by the insanely popular Southern California-based promoters Insomniac Events.

Historic power outage affects millions Jenna Jauregui Co-Editor-in-Chief A hush fell over Cal State San Marcos last Thursday as every air conditioner, fluorescent light, and computer abruptly stopped working. The campus went dark around 3:30 p.m. when a highvoltage power line between Arizona and Southern California failed, leaving 1.4 million San Diego Gas and Electric customers suddenly without power. T he unprecedented outage affected millions o f people from Mexico to Orange County to parts o f Arizona. All electricity users, including stores, gas stations, schools, offices and residences were completely without power. Traffic gridlocked throughout the county as people tried to navigate the lightless intersections. Due to the initial mystery behind the outage_, the high volume o f commut- ers and crippled safety resources, county authorities declared the situation a local emergency. Because the sudden loss o f p ower affected such a massive area and occurred just before the lOth anniversary o f 9/11, many people were afraid the outage may have been a result o f another terrorist attack. S DG&E confirmed otherwise in a press statement released on Friday. " The p ower outage began with a major transmission outage in western Arizona that caused a loss o f power to southern California. Shortly afterward, the S an Onofre Generating Station went o ff line. As a resuJt, SDG&E did not have adequate resources on its system to keep power on across its service territory," SDG&E officials said. S DG&E announced at about 3:30 a.m. Friday morning that power had been restored to many o f its customers. C SUSM and San Diego State University, among 6 -9 p .m. A rts 2 40.

The new season started on a high note as the NAIA announced in early September that the lady Cougars were ranked 15th in the nation. Game after game, the team proved what CSUSM women's soccer is all about.. Again, playing another game only three days later, the lady Cougars faced off in Fresno against Fresno Pacific. At first, the game was a toss up with both teams evenly matched. At the start o f the second half, the Cougars came off the bench hungry for a goal to keep their undefeated streak alive. Only minutes into the second half, freshman Courtney Kay scored 1he games only goal after Fresno's keeper lost the ball during a free kick from just outside the box by Shannon Cox.

Photos By: Morgan Hall Kelly McLin When The CSUSM women's volleyball players hit the courts for practice in !-lunter gymnasium, the pride o f representing San Marcos will be the team's main drive to push them through all o f the hard work in its inaugural season. Cal State San Marcos announced last fall that the athletic department would be adding women's volleyball to the university's growing list o f sports offerings. The team was slowly starting to commit players and a coach before the start o f the fall season. The young team, made up o f ten freshmen, one sophomore, and five juniors, will play all home games at the Escondido High School gyni until a larger Gymnasium can be built on campus. " It is going to be a little hard to play home games off campus, but it's also amazing to think that Escondido supports us enough to let us use their gym," freshman Tayler Gomez said. One player does admit that being a part o f a first-year team and juggling class work does occasionally come with some pressure. "Becaus~ student athletes are such a small group on campus, we really want to prove that we can represent both the student athletes and the school," sophomore Rachel Quam said. Quam also reflected that even though they are athletes, "school work comes first. We truly are students before athletes." As their season enters week four, the players are starting to settle in on campus and find their niche on the team. "We have been focusing a lot on team building, and I think we have finally meshed as a team," freshman K iki Atuatasi said. The most memorable achievements for the team have been their 25-22, 25-22, 12-25 scores, A couple o f highlights include a 2523, stunning win over the number-one ranked Fresno Pacific as well as a win over the number seven ranked Lewis-Clark State. The CSUSM W6men's Volleyball team currently holds a record o f 13-5 and is set to play their first home game o f the season at Escondido High School today at 8 p.m. vs. San Diego Christan. Erin Talafus Lindsay Mitchell Brittany Thompson Rice s cores t wice M en's s occer v ictory o ver W estmont g ives t eam t heir first win Kyle Trembley Contributor Through the team's tough 0-3 start, Cal State San Marcos men's soccer haS been unable to catch a break. That changed in the second half o f Monday's game at Westmont, when the Cougars were able to take advantage o f two miscues by the home team and win the match 4-2. CSUSM improves to 1-3 on the year with the much-needed victory. Westmont drops to 0-4. Playing their final game at the Westmont Heritage Club Classic to~ament, Coach Ron Pulvers' Cougars came out looking to make a statement, and did so almost immediately. Just one minute into the game, a shot by Alex Rodriguez was stopped by the Westmont keeper, but Scott Rice was able to punch in the rebound for his first .career CSUSM goal and the first goal o f the season for the Cougars. Rice was not content with one, however: I n the 15th minute, AllConference midfielder Jake Kai- ser served in a dangerous ball from 30 yards out, connecting with Rice who headed it past the keeper. Up 2-0 at the 15-minute mark, the Cougars were riding high but were quickly reminded that nothing thus far this s~ason has come easy. In the 22nd minute, a foul call on the edge o f the box gave Westmont a penalty kick, which was converted to make it 2-1. Westmont would tie it in the 34th minute on a goal from Emmanuel Akyen, capitalizing on a stretch o f play in which CSUSM was frankly a bit lucky to escape from without being behind. But the second half would belong to the Cougars. Adjusting to the super-direct style o f play that served Westmont so well late in the first half, Coach Pulvers directed his team to start pressuring the back line to shut down the long passes that had been hurting CSUSM. The adjustment worked brilliant, as not only did the Cougars tilt the run o f play back in their favor, they pounced on two mistakes by Westmont's inexperienced defense to score a pair o f goals. In the 61st minute, a lazy pass back to the keeper was picked off by a very alert Eric Lopez, who buried his first goal as a Cougar to put his side up 3-2. Another first-time goal scorer, Sullivan Tobin, would ice the match in the 85th minute, intercepting a pass on the back line and striking a wonderful shot into the comer o f the net from 25 yards out to put CSUSM up 4-2 and close the door on the team's first win.

Here are tips on ways to save on textbooks, one o f the hardest hitting expenses o f college life. R ent y our textbooks Websites such as Chegg.com and ecampus.com allow students to rent their textbooks for a lower price than purchasing the textbook. Chegg.com's mission statement is to save students money and keep the cost o f textbooks to a minimum. Also, renting books allows the student to pick the timeframe they want to keep the textbook. The less time the book is kept, the less it costs. A mazon.com Amazon offers a cheap marketplace for buying and selling textbooks. College students may sign up for Amazon Student, which the website reads "free two-day shipping for six months with Amazon Prime shipping benefits, as well as exclusive offers via e-mail." Amazon also allows students to a e mo sell back their textbooks at the end o f the semester, by signing up as an Amazori seller. Students can gain back a portion o f the money they used to purchase the book. Interlibrary Loan Many students do not know about interlibrary loans. I f you go to biblio.csusm.edu or library. csusm.edu (they are the same website), there is a link on the right column to sign up for the interlibrary loan service. Students can sign up for the service for free using their campus ID and password, then librarians search through the San Diego library circuit to find i f other libraries carry the book you requested. This usually works for novels assigned for class, and the book is shipped to your house in approximately less than a week. Course Reserves Ask your professor i f they put any o f the required course materials on course reserve. I f they did, you many go into the third floor o f the library and check out the textbook for two hours. Students are not permitted to leave the library with the book, but you may copy the pages using a print card on any floor o f the library. This is a great option i f your professor only assigned· a couple pages or chapters o f the book . . Share with a classmate/friend Save money by splitting the cost o f the book with a classmate or friend. Most people are happy to share textbooks with other students, i f they are strapped for cash. I f you need assistance in getting any required course mateials, talk to your professor in office hours; most o f the time, your professor can help you devise a way to get what you need.

When deciding which fraternity o r sorority to "rush," students should research the history, requirements, and standards o f e ach organization. C SUSM recognizes three sororities (Alpha Pi Sigma, Alpha Chi Om~ga, and Alpha X i Delta), and two fraternities (Zeta Beta Tau and S igma Alpha Epsilon). According to a 2 008 memo from Student L ife and Leadership Director. Dilcie Perez, the fraternity Tau Kappa Epsilon ( 'fKE) is no longer recognized on the CSUSM campus. Alpha P i Sigma (.AIU:) is a Latina based sorority. Its website, alphapisigma.org, states its mission is " to unite and support women to advance academically ai:J.d professionally." Alpha Chi O mega (AXO) is a sorority dedicated to developing " smart, compassionate, makea-difference women," according to alphachiomega.org. This sorority makes a strong ·commitment to "academics, community service and leadership." Alpha X i D elta (A3~) is a sorority with a vision: "inspiring women to realize their potential." Its website, alphaxidelta. org, states the organization's commitment to developing its members strengths and talents within the sorority's sisterhood. Zeta Beta Tau ( ZBn is " the n ation's first Jewish fraternity," according to zbt.org. I t is " open to all men o f good character" and seeks to help its members develop "intellectual awareness, social responsibility, integrity and brotherly love." Sigma Alpha Epsilon (~AE) is a fraternity that touts the message " be true." Its website, sae. net, states that the organization helps its members "fulfill their educational aspirations and goals," a nd promotes· programs that teach "leadership, scholarship, and personal development." Students can discover many opportunities by joining a G reek organization. C SUSM is proud to host these fraternities and sorority chapters, but students must remember to always be safe and legal when representing their organization. H students have questions o r concerns regarding any campus organization's activities, they should contact Student Life and Leadership (csusm.edu!sll). ylla I 'm a third year history major at California State University San Marcos.

The 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001 became the Pearl Harbor o f the millennia! g eneration- America watched and listened in shock as the news coverage revealed the devastation and horror. On Sept. 12,2011, the United States declared war, targeting the Afghanistan-based leader group, Osama Bin Laden. Oct. 8, 2001 marked the beginning o f President Bush's "War on Terror." A generation o f fresh veterans was born from this decision as young people saw an opportunity to serve their t ry , " I saw a need for medics," Navy Corpsman Mark Mallare, a Cal State San Marcos student veteran and kinesiology major, said. "There were many opportunities in medicine after 9/11. There were so many trauma patients that needed to be cared for." Another opportunity that appealed to America's new military recruits was the new GI Bill, which was revised after the 9/11 disaster to include more benefits for those who serve. Signed into law in July o f 2008, the Post-9/11 GI Bill, or GI Bill 2.0, created a "new robust education benefits program rivaling the WWII era GI Bill o f Rights," according to an overview o f the bill at military.com/education. The bill's benefits apply to "servicemembers who have served on active duty for 90 or more days since Sept. 10, 200 l ," and are "tiered based on the number o f days served on active duty." Several revisions to this bill came into effect in August 2011. revisions include full coverage o f tuition and public schools, including gradu~ ate training. I n addition, Students may be reimbursed for national exams such as the SAT, as well as tests for licensing and certification. Some unfortunate changes include the end o f " preak pay," which means students will not receive monthly payments for housing or other needs during semester breaks in the school term. The Veterans Center at CSUSM (c susm . edu/outreach/VeteransServices) exists to help student veterans understand how to obtain these benefits as well as offer a safe and friendly environment that promotes camaraderie between military branches. Mallare, who works in the Veterans Center, said he wanted to help people in the same way people helped him when he started at CSUSM. "We give students peace o f .mind and assist students with their paperwork," he said. The center offers computers, a friendly staff, and a television for students who just want to unwind and hang out. "We are also looking to start a lending library t() help students with their textbook needs," Amber Bouge, who also works in the Veterans Center, said. A my S alis b ury's " The M ug" P ut stuff in, stir it around, enjoy it o r hate it F reedom o f t he p ress I mportance o f m edia t ransparecy p ost 9 -11 As I sat down to write this article, I expected to offer commentary on the American media's coverage o f the events o f 9/11. The vast and varied ways that television, film and print journalism told the story o f the attacks made for extremely compelling capsules o f information that still have relevance all o f 10 years later. Within that commentary, I expected to be critical o f the media; I wanted to explain why revealing the president's location on 9/11 and airing footage o f people jumping out o f the World Trade Center buildings was beyond the responsibility o f media. The more I considered the subject, however, I uncovered a different angle to this type o f response (which is rather common among those who e xpress an opinion, it seems). W h i 1e many sought to criticize the media for their ~- c o m prehensive c-overage o f the day's events, others understood the i ntent p ortreal- importance within a free society. This concept o f "media transparency" is an irrefutable asset to the American public. Should the media cover up events in order to maintain an advanced state o f public order or government secrecy, the concept o f freedom would cease to exist as fast as true journalism would. Media, as a service to the public, preserves transparency so it may preserve freedom. All media outlets, from the largest metropolitan newspaper to the local dailies, have got toreport the whole truth. For the years that I have been with The Pride, I have experienced the good, the bad and the ugly that comes with covering events that happen on campus. True journalism seeks the whole story and reveals it accurately and ethically. Journalists often feel confused or threatened by the concept of revealing sensitive or controversial information, but those in the business o f reporting truth must do just that. As the editor of the Opinion section, I encourage the students, staff, faculty and community to report truths by writing Letters to the Editor ad- readers deem important and worthy o f exploration.

The Pride contacted President Haynes for an interview regarding the decision to cancel Michael Moore. Rick Moore, Director of Communications, contacted The Pride on President Haynes' behalf. Rick Moore explained that the University is not looking for any one person to balance out Michael Moore. In response to the question of why Michael Moore was deemed an appropriate speaker last October and now he is not, Rick Moore said, "Last year there wasn't an election and he (Michael Moore) had not politicized himself. Now we have the election coming up and there is no time to balance out the point of view. The election is the key difference here and Michael Moore's decision to politicize himself."

SmartPay™ state that the "service charge" is assessed to cover IDC's costs, but declined to say specifically what all the costs are. Many students on campus are unhappy with being charged this fee when paying for classes online. Senior Matt Taylor said, "I was frustrated with the additional fee when I found out that this cost saving feature for the university was at my expense." Taylor also said that he contacted Jonathan Poullard, dean of student affairs, asked the BOD to allocate $10,000 to bring film maker, Michael Moore, back to CSUSM. Poullard explained at the meeting that Michael Moore was a scheduled speaker in the Arts and Lectures Series last October; however, the event was cancelled due to the Cedars Fire. Now Moore is available to reschedule the event for October 13 or 14. After discussion from all ASI directors, the board voted to contribute $6,500 to fund Moore's speaker fee. Poullard said, "I am saddened and disappointed by the decision. I think our students are missing out on a phenomenal opportunity to engage in political discourse. The Intercultural Speaker Series is not about having us agree, it's about having the discourse and having controversy with civility." Merryl Goldberg, Professor of Visual and Performing Arts and Director of Arts & Lecture series said, "Personally I'm quite disappointed. I think it would have been a great opportunity for the students. On the other hand, I understand how it could be a challenge for the president and other top administrators. It is very tough. I wouldn't have wanted to be the president on this." Lura Poggi, Executive Director of ASI said, "I think, although Michael Moore has partisan beliefs, that ultimately what would have happened is he would have motivated our students to get involved in the electoral process by getting out to vote. I trust students to vote their conscious regardless of what belief structure is presented to them. And while I appreciate having a balance of perspectives, I trust our university community to engage in meaningful dialogue; that will not only provide a balancing perspective, but also encourage our community members to, individually, decide for themselves their core values and political beliefs." Francine Martinez, Vice President for Student Affairs explained that the decision was discussed Monday morning among the executive council, which includes all vice presidents, the Provost and Marti Gray, Executive Director of CSUSM Foundation. Martinez explained that the council was unable to provide a counterpart to Michael Moore and that if they could secure the right people to provide a balance they will pull something together for the spring. Marti Gray, Executive Director of CSUSM Foundation said, "I think everyone (in the executive council) was in total agreement that the campus had not been able to confirm any other speakers that could provide a balance." "I don't think it is right for the president to limit the students' access to the speakers we have," said Christopher Langfelder, freshman, biology major. Student Financial Services about the charge via the internet, but never got any response. According to Student Financial Services, the "service charge" did not begin until 2002 when the Campus Level Cabinet decided to contract Informed Decisions of Alameda California to install CASHNet SmartPay™ on the CSUSM website. Convenience and financial savings for the school were cited as primary reasons for contracting with IDC. Paul Tiglio, from the Department of Financial Services said that the money saved by the university because of IDC CASHNet SmartPay™ goes directly to campus life programs and campus security. Mr. Tiglio was apt to point out that the university allows students to pay in many ways, and that IDC CASHNet SmartPay™ is only one option. When asked about student complaints regarding IDC CASHNet SmartPay™, he admitted that there were complaints but declined to comment on specific cases. In addition to imposing a "service charge" IDC CASHNet SmartPay™ does not accept payments using a VISA card. Accepted methods of payment include Mastercard™, Discover™, American Express™ and E-check. Debit cards can only be used if they do not require a PIN. Many debit cards have a daily maximum of $500 or less, so they may not have sufficient funds available to pay for tuition fees using IDC CASHNet SmartPay. Senior Vice President of Sales for IDC, Randy Steyer, was also asked how many Student concerns were addressed by Informed Decisions to the issue of the CASHNet Smartpay™ "service charge". Styer responded "that is something we don't reveal" October 18-21, 2005 Childcare Services All students at C SUSM will have the opportunity to vote on a proposed fee establishment on the dates indicated above.

Don't count your blessings quite yet gentlemen; this issue could also affect you.

The best way to get the most from your college experience is to get involved, and with more than 45 clubs and student organizations on campus, there is bound to be at least one tofityour goals and personality style. On September 7-9*, the Student Organization Expo featured several different clubs and student organizations in front of the Kellogg library, including the Human Development Club, Christ on Campus, and Priority Christian Challenge. The Human Development Club was formed to bring together people with a common interest in human services. Because the Human Development major was becoming so research-based, the club was formed to offer a place for people to express their interest in community-benefiting programs and a place to explore the different careers that a Human Development degree would offer. Members meet twice a month: once for a general meeting where they talk, discuss events, and vote on allocating funds, and a second time for the event of the month. The events consist of either a lecture series, guest speakers, or some form of volunteer work for the community. In the past, the Human Development Club has participated in events like the MS walk. "We're humanitarians," said a smiling Dayleen Coleman, president of the Human Development Club. Although the Human Development Club does not exclude anyone from being a member, they allow only a human development major or minor to run for office. Formerly known as Episcopal Campus Mission, Christ on Campus is a first-year revised club that is funded by the Episcopal Church of San Diego. The Christ on Campus Club aims to give students a place to meet new people, a place to belong, and, as their motto states, "a place to know Christ and make Him known." Founder and youth pastor at Grace Episcopal Church in San cation will no longer be able to do so at such a low cost. This problem is not just occurring at our campus. The cost of prescription drugs are increasing throughout the country, and without necessary action, they will continue to do so. Piling the rising costs of prescriptions on top of the skyrocketing costs of rent in San Diego and tuition in California could have extremely negative consequences on Cal State students. According to Dr. Karen Nicholson, the medical director of Cal State San Marcos, and Joe Jacob, CSUSM pharmacist explained that the California State University system has a contract with pharmaceutical companies to ensure that students receive certain patented oral contraceptives at an extremely low cost. Nearly all of the contraceptives included in the contract are no longer patented, which basically means that anyone can create generic drugs which are almost exactly the same as the name brands. Instead of reducing the cost of name brand drugs to compete with imitators, they are charging nearly the same amount as the generic drugs cost - which is also rising.. All Cal State students are required to pay a student health services fee as well as a student health facility fee. In March 2004, Student Health Services promoted and passed a referendum that allowed the health services fee to increase from $35 a semester to $50 and the health facility fee to go from $3 to $25. Many people have a tendency to make the incorrect assumption that these fees will help to prevent other cost increases, such as the rising cost of birth control. To the contrary, Nicholson said, "the health facility fee is only applied towards the cost to rent the facility, which is not owned by Cal State San Marcos, and the utility bills. The health services fee is applied towards funding staff salaries and the maintaining the operation of the services provided. Neither have anything to do with maintaining the low cost of prescription drugs." Jacob also explained that the State Procurement Officer has been attempting to negotiate with the pharmaceutical companies to fight the increasing costs. If he is successful, it may be possible for the pharmacy to offer other brands of oral contraceptives, either low cost generic brands or alternate brands of birth control that are still patented. While this issue will most likely be a long and complicated process, Jacob stated optimistically that, "At least the pharmaceutical companies are willing to listen to him." dubbin' A i Jk H uman D evelopment Club CHRIST ON CAMPUS PRIORITY Christian Challenge Paul G ibbons paulgibbons@gracesanmarcos.org Ruth B ran rbran22@juno.com Marcos, Paul Gibbons, feels that this club is important because people need to have somewhere to belong and to have fun. "As Christians, we are told to go out and make disciples," explained Gibbons. "College students need to have a place to belong and to find God." Plans are tentative because the club is new. There is no set meeting schedule, but they hope to meet one to two times a week. The meetings will be a time to talk, listen to music and practice Bible Study. Priority Christian Challenge is a Bible-based club that emphasizes developing a strong individual Christian faith in a social environment. Ruth Bran, outside advisor and co-founder, felt the club was necessary because it empowers stu- dents with knowledge and faith, and gives them a place to get to know fellow Christians. The members get together every Thursday evening at Arts 240. Meetings encourage people to come together, interact, form friendships, and pray. The agenda also includes participating in humanitarian events, such as Operation Christmas Child, where people donate toys and supplies to children in need all over the world. "We expose people to the needs in the world," explained Bran. The clubs featured in this article are only a few of the many clubs that are available on campus.

WANTED SWIM INSTRUCTORS!!! $11.00-$17.00 per hour Call (760) 744-SWIM | �thepride SPORTS Tuesday, September 14 2004 Jock Talk With Josh BY JOSHUA SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer Think for just a moment about all the things that have changed in your life over the past five years. I mean most of you probably went to a different school, had a different job, or fashioned a different hair dofiveyears ago. Basically, not much stays consistent overfiveyears. However, one person who has been consistent over the past five years has been Tiger Woods. "El Tigre" was the number one golfer in the world for the pastfiveyears which is 264 consecutive weeks which is also 1848 days. However, everything in life eventually comes to an end and Tiger's streak is no exception. His rule as number one player in the world came to an end last week when Vijay Singh claimed the spot that Tiger had kept warm for so long. Growing up you work towards being the best at what you do no matter whatfieldyou are working in. Once you reach the pedestal of number one what else is there for you to accomplish? The only thing left for you to prove is that you have staying power and no one has had more staying power in sports than Tiger Woods. Tiger is the most recognizable person in sports. Even people who know absolutely nothing about sports know who Tiger is. Tiger is now among the few in our society who can be referred to just by one name like Madonna, Cher, and Prince. Golf is the hardest sport to dominate in, because it is an individual sport. In team sports like baseball and football you can rely on your teammates if you are having a bad day at the park. In golf, if you are having a bad day on the course you have no one to blame but yourself. Now I want you to think about all the bad days you have had in the pastfiveyears. If you are like most people, you don't always have a great day everyday of the week. So, when you look at the fact that Tiger has not had a bad day in five years it is just simply amazing. It is not like Tiger is past his prime so Tiger losing his number one ranking has many people questioning what led to this. Well there are several things that could have led to this, one thing being that he has had some nagging injuries over the past couple years especially to his knee which is one of the most important body parts to a golfer. Another thing that many people believe is that since Tiger fell in love with his fiance his golf game has gone down hill. Also, some think that his new golf equipment has just been inferior to that of what the other golfers are using. Who knows if it was any of those circumstances? However, the thing that makes Tiger that much better in my eyes is that he did not use one of those as an excuse. I tnean, how many of you have tried to pass the blame when you could not explain what went wrong in a certain situation? I for one fear for the golfing community because not having towards again. The last time Tiger in that number one spot Tiger had something to prove means he has something to work he ended up becoming the most Photo courtesy ofwww.goIfserv.com dominant athlete anyone has ever seen.

You got no classes BY KARLENE WIEGAND Pride Staff Writer Students frustrated by our school's registration system is not a new phenomenon. As the new semester starts many students will cry "the registration woes," especially new students who are unfamiliar with our registration process. The unique part about our registration system here at Cal State San Marcos is the fact that we don't accept Visa, a commonly used credit card used by CSUSM students. The reasons we don't accept Visa has something to do with a nation wide lawsuit, due to high merchant fees of up to $600,000 charged to Colorado State University for example. Merchant fees are what credit card companies charge the user, like Ralphs grocery store, or, in the case of Cal State San Marcos, to use their credit cards like Visa. The entire state university system in California and other nation wide state schools including Indiana, Colorado and Texas are facing these same fees. Many state schools aré now opting to charge students a convenience fee for using credit cards to pay for tuition rather than paying the high merchant fees. The CashNet SmartPay system is a popular convenience charge system, currently used at our school and various schools throughout California, Indiana, Colorado and Texas. I guess there is no way to change the system because either way we, the students of CSUSM will be paying these merchant fees. However, it is of concern to me why the cashiers' office won't tell us why our Visa credit cards are being turned away or why we have to pay a convenience fee. Last Spring was my first semester at Cal State San Marcos. I had been using my Visa credit card at Mira Costa College for the previous three years. I would pay for my books and my classes and then send my grandmother the bill in Las Vegas where she lives. The first time I registered here was a nightmare. I had no clue student loans instead, which have why my Visa was being shunned a much lower interest rate and away and no one could tell me would ensure a happier financial why. The cashiers' office was existence for us in the future. rude and my fellow students Ifinallyhad to borrow my boycouldn't answer my questions.

"Why?" to deter us students from using credit cards and start taking put EMMA By Sarah Carlin How to get YOUR class started BY PATRICIA GUEVARRA Pride Staff Writer So, the first two weeks of school are finally over, yes! Congratulations to all of you who have survived. I know it has been a fun ride just trying to crash classes and having to switch back to school mode. Just imagine, 14 more weeks until it is time for Winter Break. Exciting, isn't it? This is also the time when we realize that there are a lot of classes that are not being offered due to budget cuts or are not even offered because no one has ever expressed a need for it. I am pretty sure that there are a lot of great classes that some of you would like to have offered here or classes that you do need. Here are a couple of tips that can help you get started. First thing, you need to do is research about this class, what does it entail and who will benefit from this course? Then, scout for other students and even faculty members who view the course as beneficial and are willing to support your efforts in starting this class. This way you will have the power of numbers. Make sure you do have a faculty member who is supporting you in order to have stronger ties to administration. Once you have a core group of people involved, you can create a petition stating the need for this class and be sure to provide why this class is important. You can circulate this around campus to gain support from the rest of our school population. Be sure to have a possible teacher in mind for the class, you will of course need a teacher. Also, you can hold meetings with faculty and administration in order to express the dire need of this class for the benefit of Cal State San Marcos. Mind you that this will be a long process. You may not see the class being offered during your academic career but at least you have gotten a movement started so that other students can benefit from this. Regardless of the time factor, you will be doing something great for the campus. I am writing this article based on the experience of the Asian Pacific American Association, formerly known as the Asian Pacific American Society. The Association has been struggling with the lack of Asian American Studies classes on campus. According to Fall 2003's enrollment, there were a total of 732 Asian American/Pacific Islander students on campus, 9.4%. The third largest student population and yet few classes are offered pertaining to Asian Studies and no classes in Asian American Studies. There are, however, several history classes with subject matters of China, Japan, women in the Middle East, and Eastern thought, but what about the experience of the Asian American. I offer these steps in case any other student feels the need to start some classes on campus as well. There are other students who will support you. The campus is still new, take advantage of your ability to make a difference. A + S UBS P reschool s ubstitutes, a ids, a nd t eachers.

A stronger America is needed during these times when Americans seem to be divided by the platform President Bush has been pushing. I am a Democrat because I believe in equality for all Americans and the preservation of our natural environment. I also believe in fiscal responsibility, smaller government, and a stronger military. I am afirmbeliever in respect, understanding and tolerance, and Kerry is the only contender that strongly believes in equality for all Americans. Kerry has adamantly stated that he does not believe that a constitutional amendment is necessary in order to 'preserve' the 'institution of marriage.' Kerry believes the idea of marriage for gays and lesbians should be left up to the states. The Constitution has never once been amended to strip a minority group in America of their right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Kerry also strongly believes that there is more work to be done to help the advancement of minorities in our communities so that they to can attain a higher education, and advance further in the work place. 9/13-17 rr?'^ Identifying myself as a RepubIfSflif ? • • • lican, especially here at CSUSM, means that people will make ¡ ¡¡(¡8 i s ^ f ^ M judgments about me without IH bothering to get to know me; I'll just be stereotyped as another SUV-driving, Apprentice-vfdXching, intolerant, martini-drinking, Louis Vuitton-carrying rich bitch who'd rather wipe out the least tern than be forced to carpool.

Another point that Kerry believes in is a stronger military by not only equipping our soldiers with more modern weapons, but also equipping the branches of the military with more troops. Many countries, as well as the United Spates, are fighting a global war on terrorism. We need to take into consideration that many of our troops are fighting abroad to defend democracy and protect the U.S. from acts of terrorism on our home soil. To help ensure that our troops are given the time off they deserve to be with their loved ones, there needs to be enough troops to maintain an adequate military force for pur homeland security needs as well as continuing to meet our strategic and regional missions.

Many may know him as Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian from the NBC series "Scrubs," but nowadays Zach Braff has a lot more on his plate than acting. Braff s film "Garden State," which he credited as writer, director and starring in, has gained support since it's initial release in June. Picked up by Miramax and Fox Searchlight Pictures, the film is now on a wide-scale release. Thefilmbegins in Los Angeles where Andrew Largeman (Braff) is living as a struggling actor.

There are a lot of opportunities for students, staff and faculty to get involved this semester with the increasing number of campus recreation activities, leisure and group fitness classes, intramural sports, and competitive sports that are being offered. "Many people aren't aware of what's going on down here [at the Field House] but ASI has a lot to offer," said Laurence Bolotin, Coordinator of Campus Recreation for Don't fight traffic... destroy it!

Burnout 3: Takedown for Playstation 2 (P2) and X-Box is a fast-paced, aggressive, and exhilarating racing game that rewards the player for slamming their car into a wall or on-coming traffic and causing massive amounts of demolition.

In addition, this game has added 7 online playing modes to enhance competition in the racing and crash modes. A major plus for this game is that the cars are easy to control and the more crashes that the player causes in the game, more race tracks will be unlocked. The tracks get progressively more difficult, but not frustratingly difficult. I find it rather exciting to play the same race track multiple times until I have caused the maximum amount of damage.

XXIV NO. 3 STUDENT LOANS: OUR LAST SOURCE Student dependence on borrowed money rising BY ASHLEY DAY PRIDE STAFF WRITER In today's world, some American college students have no choice but to take out student loans to fuel their secondary education. With institutions dangling "instant" money accompanied with low interest rates, students have an enticing offer that develops debt very early in life. Parents, teachers and elders tell youth that attending college and getting a degree is the key to success. Anthony P. Carnevale, a research professor and director of Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, said, "College credentials are now a prerequisite for a middle class lifestyle." According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 70.1 percent of America's youth choose to pursue a college education.Finaid.org reveals 58.8 percent of undergraduate students take out loans to fund their life through college.

Financial Aid can walk you through the process of securing a loan. I would say it's fairly easy." Alisha Madison, a second year student at San Diego State University agrees with Rapp. "On a scale from 1-10,10 being the easiest, my loan process was probably an 8 .1 just had to pretty much click, activate and read the terms.

Rapp said, "The majority of students understand what they're getting themselves into. If they come to the fi- nancial aid department, we explain the process completely.

[Me] having to take out a loan has not changed any plans." Rapp feels the same way. She said, "Not in this century! People are broke. I don't think majors have anything to do with taking out a loan. Students depend on loans to live. If that's their only means to pay for education and to survive, then they have to go with it." More than 50 percent of the student population relies on loans to fund their way throughout college. Some of the reasons are their parents make too. much money, as determined by the federal government, or students' parents do not support them at all. These students decide to take on a loan. A clock on iinaid.org ticks the balance on" student loan debt. 850 trillion dollars is the latest estimate. Even so, this does not stop students from taking the loans. " I'd rather be taking out loans for school than not being able to go to school at all. Education is the most important thing anyone can have right now and I 'm not going to let the fear of being in debt affect my choice," Madison said. PHOTO BY • MASSAGEMARKETINGMENTOR. COM The Annual Health Expo BY MAYA LIFTON PRIDE STAFF WRITER Thursday was a good day at Cal State San Marcos as the annual health expo took place in the library plaza. The fair provided free food, massages, contests, and much more. 40 different organizations showed up to this event, each holding individual booths, which offered information on a particular aspect of health. Some of these organizations included North County health services, Children's Physicians medical group, The Clarke, and the Nürsing department. The nursing department had information on the amount of calories a person should be taking in per day. This number is based on your height, weight, and gender. Chelsea Witwer, a nursing student who helped put the booth together, told The Pride a shocking probability. "You don't think about what you're drinking. You can drink over half your calories per day, and people don't know this," said Witwer. People are misinformed about the amount of sugar drinks contain. They tend to misjudge the effect one drink could have on the body and drink to no limit. As a result, this misinformation has led to the obesity problem we face today. Witwer also provided information pertaining to the amount of calories certain drinks have, such as Starbucks coffee and Coca-Cola. "Between Starbucks coffee, Coca-Cola, Budweiser beer, and Snappie Iced Tea, Starbucks has the most calories." Even so, Witwer said there are 10 tablespoons of sugar in a Coca-Cola. A Better Tomorrow, another organization at the expo, is a treatment center that specializes in substance abuse and helps treat addiction. Eric Miller, the intake coordinator, said, "We work with the major insurance companies. We are one of the largest providers of substance abuse treatment centers in California. "Our facilities treat any kind of addiction," Miller said. "We also have an [adolescence] program and work with kids under the age of 18."

PHOTOS PROVIDED B Y OFFICE OF CAMPUS RECREATION Fun, fit, a nd fabulous ASI Campus Recreation offers a variety of fitness classes BY JENNA JAREGUI DIGITAL MEDIA MANAGER From Sept. 20 to Dec. 10, you can take your pick of a variety of fun ways to exercise—and the classes are FREE to CSUSM students! Faculty must pay a fee of $60 that allows access to any of the classes for the semester. Sign up for your choice of Ashtanga yoga, "Cardio Kick," indoor cycling, hip-hop, zumba/ salsa, line dancing, Jiu-Jitsu, or "AB. Blast" at the Campus Recreation Center (TheClarke 119). Indoor cycling will be held on brand new equipment at the University Village Apartments, and hip-hop dance and line dancing are both new and exciting options that will be joining student favorites like zumba and yoga. If you can still think of an excuse, here are five unbeatable reasons to join a class without delay. 1) It's free! We mentioned it earlier, but this means completely free. Unlike gyms that might offer martial arts classes, but charge for equipment, all classes will provide you with the gear you need while you're at Clarke Field House. It's also a way to save money by stopping your membership somewhere else. 2) It's on site. You're already on campus, and no matter where you are on campus, Clarke Field House is a short walk away. 3) It's a fun way to add some newness to your life, whether that means new exercises, new workout buddies, or both. 4) A little exercise will actually make writing papers easier - no joke! British research has shown that mid-day exercise will enhance your mood and make you more productive. 5)The classes are built to suit everybody. "If you're a beginner, you're going to receive the basic instruction to get the basics. If you're more advanced, these are going to be classes in which you'll be challenged to learn new things," explains Hugo Lecomte, head of Campus Recreation. "All the fitness classes are very inclusive and suitable for all levels."

Comprised of many different vendors selling their locally grown and homemade wares, farmers' markets offer consumers the rare opportunity to purchase food and goods direct from the source—fostering a human connection between consumers and those who nurtured their products to ripe perfection. This creates a unique shopping experience that keeps you, the environment, and the local economy strong and healthy. CSUSM hosts the San Marcos Certified Farmers' Market once a week. The market just celebrated its first anniversary, and hopes to continue raising student awareness and support of its services. Lome Scott, who manages this market as well as those in Valley Center and City Heights, describes'the market as a "nice environment," offering an exciting sensoiy experience of colorful sights, delicious flavors, and pleasant conversation. According to her, the market includes around 25 vendors selling "handmade artisan jewelry and clothes, really good artisan bread, local honey, an awesome variety of hummus, homemade butter with garlic, rosemary, or basil, sweet almond butter that's awesome on pancakes, award winning salsa with chips and tortillas, tamales, smoked fish with flavors that will really knock your socks off, oils, balsamic vinegars, stainless steel water bottles, really cool woven bags for shopping, and all kinds of recycled stuff and environmentally conscious items." If the food itself isn't enpugh to entice you to explore the plethora of outdoor stands, Scott invites students to consider the economic benefits of shopping at the farmers market. "The .dollar spent on a local business in the community has three times the impact on the local economy than if that money gets spent in a nationwide chain or big box store," she said. The more support the market receives, the more it can expand and gain more vendors. Buylocalthinkglobal.com describes how buying local food from farmers' markets benefits the environment as well as the economy. The site explains, "Transporting food long distarlces uses an incredible amount of fossil fuel that releases pollutants into the atmosphere contributing to global climate change and air pollution." Fresh, locally grown food is also a better choice for a healthy lifestyle. According to Scott, "The majority of the nutrients are still available when it's fresh, where as when it's been sitting around on the grocery shelf for a week, the nutrients get reduced every day after it is picked. The more alive your food is, the more alive you are!" The CSUSM Farmers' Market is held every Wednesday afternoon in the front parking lot off Craven Rd. Its operating hours are 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. and 1 p.m. to sunset in the winter season. Visit the market's information booth to learn about the Fresh Fund Program and other options available to federal assistance recipients (WIC, SSI, and EBT). The farmers' market also offers demonstrations and activities ranging from cooking demos to musical performances. To receive advance notice about these events, sign up for the e-mail list at the market. Notices will be sent weekly on Wednesday morning. Next on the event calendar is a dance demo on September 22.

PHOTO B Y TORIA BODDEN Prowlin' the kitchen Farmer's Market special: bruschettà BY JENNA JAUREGUI DIGITAL MEDIA MANAGER Farmers' markets are steadily gaining popularity as more people venture out from under the grocery store's fluorescent lights and into the world of open-air shopping. Featuring locally grown and often organic produce, farmers' markets are the perfect place to find fresh, healthy choices and support the local agricultural community. The farmers' market experience stimulates every sense—the colorful array of food, the free samples of homegrown goods, and the pleasant conversation with local growers all help you to remember where your food comes from and appreciate its roots. During this late summer season, local markets have an abundance of tomatoes, herbs, and other garden goodies. This week's recipe features ripe tomatoes and fresh basil. According to healthfood-guide .com, tomatoes are high in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that helps fight cancer. Studies have also suggested that tomatoes may help fight aging and degenerative diseases. Fresh, organic produce from the farmers market guarantees that the tomato's nutrient power is" at its peak! What better way to highlight this juicy fruit than a delicious batch of bruschettà? Although the name may sound fancy, bruschettà is one of the simplest, quickest ways to use your farmers' market finds. Enjoy this tasty Italian creation as an appetizer, a side dish, or a hearty snack! Fresh Bruschettà 1 clove of garlic, minced 1 tbs olive oil 2 large ripe tomatoes, finely chopped Vi cup chopped fresh basil Vi cup crumbled cheese (like feta,ricotta,or goat cheese) salt and pepper to taste crusty bread Combine garlic, olive oil, chopped tomatoes, and basil until well mixed and season with salt and pepper.

Hastings (Nebraska) falls to 1-4. Despite the short turnaround time, the Cougars for the most part looked sharp, generating numerous scoring chances and Penalty kick downs Cougar women in overtime BY MICHAEL RAWSON In the afternoon game, a controversial call minutes into the first overtime handed the Master's College women the victory over the Lady Cougars, 1-0. Looking sluggish after a successful road trip to Arizona, Cougar men hold Master's College scoreless in tie BY MICHAEL RAWSON The men's soccer team took a big step defensively on Wednesday night, holding #22 The Master's College to a 0-0 draw in double overtime. But they sure could have used Brandon Zuniga. Last year's team MVP and star forward ran out of eligibility after the 2009 season, and Ron Pulvers knows it won't be easy to replace him. "Players like him showing flashes of real quality in the open field. CSUSM out-shot Hastings 22-4 and held a 6-3 advantage in corner kicks. The game's lone goal came late in the first half. A nice buildup resulted in Natalya Erbel feeding a pass to Rachel Schulte, who knocked it across the face of the goal to Lauren Johnson. Johnson expertly controlled the pass, and from the right side of the goal finished with a slicing shot past the keeper into the leftside netting. That would be all the scoring, as the second half saw the Cougars generate plenty more chances but not quite be able to finish. Keeper Kaycee Gunion was rock solid as usual in net, making a pair of saves and consistently making the right decisions. Cougar women's soccer will face a big test this Wednesday at home against Point Loma. Kickoff is at 3 PM. Pulvers' side spent most of the game in the middle of the field. The two teams traded mostly weak chances during regulation. Three minutes into overtime, Master's pushed the ball up toward the Cougar goal. A Mustang player went down near the 18-yard line. The foul looked like it could have been a free kick, but the official pointed to the penalty box. Andie Reyes easily put the chance into the right corner past All-American keeper Kaycee Gunion, who dove left. "For me, in an overtime game like that, you have to be one hundred percent committed to the penalty," said Pulvers. "I thought there were too many questions about whether or it was or not for it to be called, [but] we put ourselves in a bad spot on that particular play." "And whether the penalty was a penalty...that's certainly a questionable situation, but we TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14TH, 2010 should have never been in that position to begin with, because we were just lazy in recovering defensively," said Pulvers. Amanda Diamond stopped five shots to record the shutout for the Mustangs. Gunion also saved five. The Cougars will play anmomentum and managing just two shots on goal. After a late foul in overtime, Cougar Captain Bradley Seidenglanz had the game's best chance on the ensuing free kick, but sent it sailing inches over the crossbar. Andrew Bussell made two key saves for CSUSM. Master's Defender Brian Gardner nearly put the game away in overtime, but his long attempt from the left side bounced harmlessly off the right post. The Master's College really come around once in awhile," the Head Coach told The Pride. "We'll miss him." The young Cougars (22-1) sorely missed his presence at Mangrum Field on Wednesday, failing to mount any offensive Late Comeback Comes Up Short as Men's Soccer Falls to Westmont BY KYLE TREMBLEY Playing in front of a big crowd in Santa Barbra, Cal State San Marcos men's soccer came up short against a good Westmont team, losing 2-1 on the road last Saturday. CSUSM is now 2-3-1 on the year. Westmont is 3-0-2. The Cougars got into a 2-0 hole, starting with a penalty kick goal from West- mont Doug Harrell in the 39th minute. Westmont added its second early in the second half, as a corner kick was headed into the lower corner of the net by Anthony Niboli in the 59th minute. CSUSM would respond though, as Sterling Petersen scored following a throw-in in the 79th minute, giving him his first goal as a Cougar. But CSUSM couldn't notch the equalizer, falling by that 2-1 margin. Kevin Ernst made 6 saves in net for the Coguars. CSUSM will be in action this Wednesday at home in a huge rivalry match with Point Loma, starting at 5:30 PM*. Women's Soccer Ties Westmont 0-0 BY KYLE TREMBLEY #12-ranked CSUSM was held scoreless for the second-straight match on Saturday, but continued to play stifling defense, tying Westmont College 0-0 on the road. CSUSM is now 3-1-2 on the year. Westmont is 1-2-2.

Coach Pulvers enjoyed the performance of his young defense. "At the spine of our team, we play freshman, sophomore, freshman, sophomore," he said after the game. "[The Team's] work ethic ...has been awesome all season long. We've just showed some real inexperience in the games we've lost. Today, they showed a lot of maturity in being able to close the defending national runner-up to a draw." leading 7-3 in corner kicks. Taylor Schurman led the Cougars with three shots. Cougar keeper Kaycee Gunion made five saves in earning her third shutout of the season.

Having been together for nearly 10 years, The Walkmen's unique sound has been compared to that of The Cure, but they continue to stay themselves while making new additions to their sound with each album, choosing to break away from the more familiar independent and garage types of music like The Hives or The Strokes. They toured in support of their album to a few festivals last spring, including All Tomorrow's Parties in England, and Lollapalooza in Chicago. This month, The Walkmen are touring around the U.S., as well as Vancouver and Toronto, Canada. In support of their new album, The Walkmen are selling copies of "Lisbon" with original designs from etsy.com (check them out! http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheWalkmen). Weezer - "Hurley" - Epitaph Records When you see the cover of Weezer's new album there is no need to double take. Indeed, it is a photo of Jorge Garcia also known as "Hurley" from the television series "Lost." Whether or not there is a connection between this character and the album, "Hurley" is Weezer's eighth anticipated album. Weezer as a band has existed since 1992 and although they have expressed influence from The Pixies, Nirvana and Green Day, with each album their sound manages to stay original, yet always evolving. "Hurley," which is up for preview on their Myspace (http://www.myspace.com/weezer) shows off Weezer's signature rock sound that still manages to be new and even fun. The album also features Michael Cera providing back-up vocals on one of the tracks. The deluxe edition of "Hurley", which can be purchased on Itunes, includes a few bonus tracks and a cover of Coldplay's "Viva la Vida." Linkin Park - "A Thousand Suns" - Warner Bros. Records These days one needs only to mention Linkin Park and the tunes of "In The End," "Faint," and "Numb" begin ringing through ears. September 14th is the release date of their latest studio album "A Thousand Suns." Linkin Park, already known for their impacting lyrics and unique musical style, seem to have done it again. Many critics already praise this new album for its sound and impressive writing. Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda continue to share vocals, which can be heard on the album's first single "The Catalyst," released this past August, along with other songs on the album. The band also worked off of their influence from the renowned hip-hop group, Public Enemy. Following "Minutes to Midnight," "A Thousand Suns" cumulates nearly two years of writing and recording into a fourth full-length album from the band known for their mixture of rock, rap and other devices, making Linkin Park a name to be recognized. CDS A ND DVDS "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" - Mike Newell "Just Wright" - Sanaa Hamri "Letters to Juliet" - Gary Winick "Just Wright" stars Queen Latifah as Leslie Wright, a physical therapist not seeking to "belong" to a man, living with her god-sister Morgan. Rapper Common plays Scott, a professional basketball player who takes a romantic interest in Morgan. Following a threatening injury that could affect Scott's career, he begins to see that Morgan was only in interested in him for the money and fame, and that Leslie, his new physical therapist, is the one who truly wants what is best for him and his future. The chemistry between the two actors (and music icons) flows well within the story and the feel of the film. This i s director Sanaa Hamri's seventh film, following works such as "Something New" and "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2." "Just Wright" is a film with a simple romantic plot that still has its charms. Sophie Hall visits Italy with her fiancée and encounters romance in a very unexpected way, turning into a sort of "Juliet" after finding a lost letter amongst the many love letters placed in the supposed real home of Juliet Capulet. Following this discovery, Sophie eventually finds the sender, Claire, and decides to help the woman find her long lost love, Lorenzo Bartolini. Along the way Sophie too discovers more about herself and her feelings as she travels alongside Claire's grandson Charlie. Director Gary Winick's previous works include "13 Going On 30," "Charlotte's Web," and "Bride Wars." Amanda Seyfried, Chris Egan and Vanessa Redgrave star in this sweet tale of discovering love -old and new - 2nd trusting destiny. A M A N D A S EYFRIED A NO VANESSA REDGRAVE Letters Juliet Based off of the "Prince of Persia" video game series, "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" follows just about the same premise as the Ubisoft game franchise. The film tells the story of Dastan and his discovery of a sacred dagger that can turn back time. With this knowledge he winds up on an adventure with a princess named Tamina, and unveils a web of political treachery amongst his own family. This film comes from director Mike Newell ("Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire") and producer Jerry Bruckheimer (producer of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films) and is distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Ben Kingsley and Gemma Arterton, "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" is another action-driven, Disney-friendly film that both adults and kids can enjoy. �A&E THE PRIDE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14TH, 2010 APP OF THE WEEK NetNewsWire BY JIMMY PIRAINO PRIDE STAFF WRITER Ever get tired of going to your favorite blogs and news sites only to be bombarded by pop-up ads and useless blinking banners?

A FTE R ESIDENT EVIL: BYMILAPANTOVICH PRIDE STAFF WRITER "Resident Evil: Afterlife" is the fourthfilmin the "Resident Evil" series, based off of the popular video game franchise. With three films preceding it, «T one would assume that the story has beenfinelytuned and perfected with years of experience. However, what the audience gets instead is afilmcompletely lacking in story, credible dialogue, believable characters, or any sense of depth beyond the welldone 3D animation. With characters speaking in stilted military commands and a story that grows tedious and repetitive, the film seems to only be a 3D platform for returning writer and director, Paul W.S. Anderson. The film follows Alice (Milla Jovovich) in her continued, and nearly pointless, struggle to take down the Umbrella Corporation. Alice spends the beginning of thefilmin search of Claire (Ali Larter) and the rest of the survivors that she was separated from at the end of the previous film. The group had gone in search of the elusive Arcadia, a place of promised refuge from the dangerous T-virus that turns people into zombie-like monsters. Upon finding Claire, Alice joins a group of people who are trapped in the middle of Los Angeles, surrounded by the infected masses, with no way of escape. Within this group of stock characters is an ex-sports star (Boris Kodjoe), an arrogant Hollywood producer (Kim Coates) and his timid intern (Norman Yeung), and Chris (Wentworth Miller), a man with familial connections to Claire that come across forced and entirely of convenience. Together, they discover the reality of Arcadia, while Alice is unknowingly pulled into yet another evil plan, orchestrated by the film's lifeless evildoer Albert Wesker (Shawn Roberts), of the Umbrella Corporation. Like the past "Resident Evil" films, the plot suffers greatly to the importance of the special effects used to give thefightscenes more impact. The director Paul W.S. Anderson makes good use of the James Cameron and Vince Pace 3D Fusion Camera System that was created for "Avatar," giving "Resident Evil: Afterlife" a visual depth that allow the viewers to feel a part of the action onscreen, thus being the only aspect keeping them from giving up on thefilmentirely. The use of 3D attempts to distract the viewers from the complete lack of story progression, where nothing is gained in the film and there is little point behind anything the characters experience. Slow motion is used in nearly every scene, quickly becoming an annoyance by dragging on selfimportant looks shared between characters as they shoot paths through the infected zombies closing in. The film can be broken into segments of fight scenes that fail to connect with one another, quickly killing characters off-screen, while moving along at a hurried pace towards the intended climax. However, with the credits rolling 20 minutes too soon, the end comes without warning and fails to satisfy, leaving the audience without any sort of resolution to the 97 minutes they just endured. When it comes to actual story, there seems to be nothing left to squeeze from the tired "Resident Evil" franchise and yet, the promise of a fifth installment ends the film as a looming threat. There is no doubt that another sequel is in the works, preparing to throw Alice in the middle another battle with an unreachable end to the franchise. Ultimately, the "Afterlife" that the title promises is completely joyless and without refuge - for the characters and the audience.

In contrast, security is very strict in order to permit a safe atmosphere for people to enjoy their time without having any concerns.

She states, "I absolutely love it there, I also like the fact that I always meet new people and it is very affordable for me as a college student. The drinks and the beach are the two main reasons why I am there almost every Thursday." The music they play differentiates every time from top 40 artists, to classic rock and old school rap. "The music at PB Bar & Grill keeps me intrigued because they play a wide variety every time I go, which I find remarkable since most places I have gone to play the same tunes over and over again," said Karla. In addition to their music, another attracting factor to the bar on Thursdays is that they offer impressive prices on their food and drinks.

The' alternative convocation consisted of over 120 faculty members who all worked together to actively plan ahead for the upcoming semester. As the semester pushes forward into mid-September, the CFA continues to assemble and rally support in protest of the disabling cuts to higher education. The effects of such cuts may already be evident to students, many of whom experienced difficulty crashing courses. The CFA is responsible for the assertive stance faculty is now taking against over-enrollment. "Class size is important in determining the ability of faculty to give students the appropriate level of attention necessary for success, but budget demands have been steadily increasing our class sizes to the point where we simply could not provide the time necessary for students," said CFA Association Chapter President and CSUSM Associate Professor of Sociology, Don Barrett. "This decision was a key part of why you saw many faculty encouraging students in their first days of classes to file complaint forms about the availability of classes." Last Tuesday and Thursday, Sept. 8 and 10, CFA assembled CSUSM faculty members in Founders Plaza to protest the budget cuts and furlough days and also encourage students to join i njhe protest. During the University Hour protests, faculty members stood in between Craven, Markstein, Science Hall I and Academic handing out complaint forms to students.

The CSUSM's CFA chapter website, www.csusm. edu/cfa, also provides students with the information necessary to help protest the cuts to the budget. An online complaint form is available at the CFA website as well. The form headline reads: "Got Classes? We don't. If you're frustrated that you're paying more for classes & an education that you're not receiving, please fill out this complaint form." "In terms of complaint forms, we have received hundreds [of complaint forms] and will be giving those to the President and Provost, as well as to the Chancellor's office and legislators," said Barrett. "This sort of visible complaint is key to letting policy holders know that students and faculty won't just quietly accept efforts that make quality educa- tion more and more difficult to provide." President Haynes recently wrote an editorial in the August 30, 2009 "North County Times" regarding the budget crisis at CSUSM. "There is no question that we are positively impacting lives, — but how can we continue to educate and support students with quality when our budget was dramatically slashed by $14 million, or 20 percent of state support, in one year? This is the question that keeps me up at night," Haynes wrote. "The fact is, Cal State San Marcos and the public higher education system in California are in crisis. The current options of reducing quality service to students, of turning even more students away, and of charging students more are all distasteful and largely unacceptable alternatives — not just for Cal State San Marcos, but for this region. An even less-educated community of tomorrow will not be the community that attracts and retains businesses; it will not continue to be the place of incubation and innovation. This dilemma should keep all of us up at night," Haynes said. In closing, Haynes called on the "North County Times" readers, and the entire county, to rally against the cuts to higher education, "Join me in sending this definitive message: Our state budget cannot be balanced on the back of California's future." This call for help provides an example of the collaboration between faculty and administration against the budget cuts made by the state. While CSUSM faculty and staff are certainly frustrated with the current state of the budget, Haynes is not downplaying the magnitude of the cuts or their effects on every member of the campus community and beyond. "The faculty agrees with President Haynes' assertions that California's commitment to education is in serious doubt, and that it is time to make it clear that we will not tolerate continued actions that reduce the quality of education." �Viewpoint Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 15, 2 009 THE PRIDE T HE CIPRIDE EDITORIAL STAFF EDITOR IN CHIEF JACKIE CARBAJAL FACES A N D PLACES * EDITOR M ATT LEWIS ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR S ANDRA CHALMERS COPY EDITOR A MY SALISBURY LAYOUT EDITOR R UDY M ARTINEZ D ISTRIBUTION M ANAGER BILL R HEIN B USINESS M ANAGER & SALES REPRESENTATIVE K RISTINA L AWLER P J EA SC Ü M E D RD _ D # S S .

But the process of getting that degree is becoming more and more difficult, simply because part time jobs that can help pay for college are in short supply.

"I have a one or two scholarships to help me pay for stuff, but I'm counting on finding a job after I graduate to help pay for most of my student loans." It's worth mentioning that half of college graduates under the age of 25 have jobs that don't require college degrees, either because the competition for specialized work has become too fierce or because long-term employers can't afford to hire them. These statistics may seem bleak, but if anything they should give incentive to average students to start preparing now for their future, whatever grade they might be in. Preparing resumes, practicing interviews, and working at internships are all resources that CSUSM has available to every student.

The #12-ranked Cougars are now 3-2-1 on the season. Westmont falls to 1-2-1. It was virtually a 180-degree turnaround from the team's last home game, a 1-0 loss to Vanguard. Today, CSUSM was energized, physical, and hungry as they attacked the goal and played spirited defense. Track star Lucia Asbury made her first appearance of the season as a forward, and provided pace and aggressiveness to an offense that had appeared sluggish at times this season. ¡ ni ¡iiiiüiiüiiii lüÄlÄSli The game's lone goal came in the 34th minute. After a nice build-up, Asbury hit a cross to the top middle of the box, where the ball found the foot of Taylor Ziencina. Ziencina launched a shot from about 15 yards out that found the top corner of the net, past the hands of the outstretched keeper. It's Ziencina's fourth goal of the young season. That would be all the Cougars needed, as the defense was in top form, limiting Westmont io just one shot on goal - which fortunately ricocheted off the post. Keeper Kaycee Gunion picked up the shutout. CSUSM will face another tough GSAC test as they go on the road this Tuesday to take on Point Loma.

For Williams, the win supports the work ethic and drive /that Coach Steve Scott has been raving about this Fall. An AllAmerican in Cross-Country and National Champion in track & field, Williams is on a mission to improve on last year's sixth place finish at the National Championships. She got off to a great start on Saturday, running 17:21 to win the event by 5 seconds. Not far behind in the 5K was Cady Villarreal. A breakout performer this spring in track & field, Villarreal proved she will be a force as a cross-country runner this fall. She ran 17:41 to finish 4th. Junior Jessica Sandoval would make it an amazing three Cougar runners to break 18 minutes. Sandoval took 9th place with a time of 17:56. All three runners not only finished in the top 10 at this event, but they have a very good chance of earning Ail-American status at Nationals. The Cougars' next three runners all finished within a couple seconds of each other. Sin Carrano, Lindsey McKown, and Kelly Thompson finished 59th, 60th, and 61st with times of 19:10, 19:11, and 19:12, respectively. Melissa Olmos rounded out the women's team with a time of 19:30. For the men's team, the 2009 season debut was just about as impressive. Running in his firstever meet in Cougar Blue, Baressa, a transfer from Mesa College, defeated the NCAA-heavyfieldin the 8K with a time of 25:06. That time alone makes him the #5 top performers in Cougar cross-country's 10-year history, and he's still got the whole season ahead of him. Next on the team was Dave Edwards, who finished in 38th place with a time of 26:11. Pat Fitzgerald finished 55th with a time of26:34, and Bernardo Bahena and Chris Strasheim were close behind in 58th and 59th, running 26:41 and 26:42, respectively. Rounding out the top-5 was Chris Capeau, who ran 27:32. Also competing for the Cougars were Miguel Vega (28:21) and Jordan Brooks (28:37). It's an outstanding start to what should be a big season for Coach Steve Scott's cross-country program. The #6-ranked teams will be in action next week at UC Riverside. Photo By Kyle Trembley M en's soccer wins thriller a gainst Westmont September 12, 2009 A rabid crowd of Cougar fans cheered an equally-energetic Cougar men's soccer team to victory in its home opener Saturday. CSUSM defeated Westmont 3-2 in what was a wild, spirited game. The Cougars have now clawed their way back to 3-3 on the season. Westmont falls to 2-2. The hundreds of fans in attendance w fie treated to a thrilling mafch between two talented and highly-motivated sides at Mahgrum Field. Westmont struck f irst, when in the 18th minute Anthony Niboli found a loose ball in the box and drove it past Cougar keeper Kevin Ernst. Westmont continued to apply the pressure, and would have went up 2-0 a few minutes later had Ernst not made a diving full-extension save. With h alftime fast approaching and it looking like the Cougars would go in down 1-0, lightning struck twice. In the 42nd minute, recently-subbed in Casey Wootan sparked the o ffense with a b eautiful pass through the defense to Bradley Seidenglanz. Seidenglanz beai the defense to t h e c a l 1; and blasted a q uick-shorthat beat the keeper cleanly^1 That tied the game ^ t 1-1,^ but the Cougars were not done. Just 59 seconds later, Brandon Zuniga and Wootan electrified the crowd with a beautiful goal. Zuniga made a run to the corner with the ball, and f ired a low cross to Wootan, who made a run to the near corner of the net and skillfully redirected the ball over the keeper and into the top of the net. The sudden change from 0-1 to 2-1 in the span of a minute was one of the most exciting stretches in the history of Cougar soccer. But Westmont was not deterred, and equalized the game early in the second half on a corner kick in which it appeared Ernst was held back. Doug Harrell took advantage with a solid header into the net. But CSUSM would have the last word, and catch a break of its own as Brandon Zuniga made a nice run, arid was taken down right at the top of the box. A penalty kick was awarded, and redshirt freshman Martin Suarez easily tucked it away for his f irst Cougar goal. Twenty very tense minutes followed, but when the dust settled, the Cougar defense held and the team had a very well-earned carry the momentum into a vtough game Tuesday at Point 3-2 win. The Cougars will look to Loma. Photo By Kyle Trembley �Arts & Entertainment Auf Wiedersehen, Bravo! Restaurant W eek rolls into town THE PRIDE Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 15,2009 Project R unway moves to Lifetime BY TRISH CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Project Runway's season six on its new TV network, Lifetime®, still keeps loyal fans flocking. Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum have packed up and moved from New. York City to Los Angeles. The contestants will be working from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FD1M), a shift from the legendary Parson's School of Design. The judges, Nina Garcia, fashion director for Marie Claire magazine and Michael Kors, an American iconic fashion designer, stayed on board through the changes. Staying traditional, Project Runway brought in a selection of celebrity judges, this season has already seen Lindsay Lohan as a guest judge for a red carpet challenge and a pregnant Rebecca Romijn also guest judged for a maternity design challenge. Future guest judges include Eva Longoria Parker and Tommy Hilfiger this Thursday at its regular showing time of 10p.m. Other than location, the show is unchanged from its previous five seasons on Bravo® TV network. The grand prize still lures designers to compete for a chance to show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, $100,000fromL'Oreal Paris, a fashion spread in Marie Claire magazine and a Paris vacation sponsored by Evian. The casting has stuck to its roots with the same odd but artistic personalities. "I try to meditate on the mood of where the garment will be and who will be wearing it," said Ari Fish, a 26 year-oldfromKansas City, MO who never sketches her designs. Michael Kors described her dress as "a disco soccer ball." Fish's quilted silver halter dress made her the first designer to go home, Challenges and stresses stay high but the creative workfromthe designers and the dramatics that come with it continue to keep audiences raving. Last week's episode eliminated a contestant for playing it safe with the design ofa simple black dress. "No one's [design] really looks like crap, but I just think Althea's looked like crap," said Irina Shabayeva, a young designer out of New York City. Regardless of Shabayeva's opinion, Althea Harper, a 24 year oldfromDayton, OH, impressed the judges with her three-piece suit, making her the winner of episode 4. This year Bravo® had a not so successful knock-off called "The Fashion Show." The winner of the show had their designs sold at a retailer. This ultimately focused the designs toward commercial sale rather than high fashion runway style. Although it followed the same elimination format as Project Runway, they had stiffly written tag lines such as "You are hanging by a thread." These words fell flat with many fens of "Project Runway," used to organically formed sayings such as Tim Gunn's "Make it work," or Klum's "One day you're in and the next day you're out." Lifetime's interactive website gives viewers an opportunity to rate the designs, the contestants and give feedback. Do not worry if you have missed an episode or two because featured on the website, www. mylifetime.com/on-tv/show/projectrunway every full episode is posted for watching with a few 3 (^second commercials slipped in.

C ougar kitchen Sicilian-style apple pie pizza BY TRISH CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Apple pie is as American as pizza. Ok, maybe pizza is not traditionally American. However, it is a solid American staple, beloved by all. With this recipe, I wanted to present theflavorsof apple pie in the fast and convenient eating style ofpizza. This recipe is affordable and fun. Makes approximately 6 servings Prep Time: 15 minuets Cook Time: 15 minuets 3 apples (approx 1 lb Golden Delicious $1.491b) !4 tsp Cinnamon ($0.99) % cup Sugar 1 tbsp lemon juice (half lemon) ($0.50) Pinch of salt 1 sheetfrozenpuff pastry or pie crust ($4.79for2) 8 oz cream cheese ($1.99) % cup chocolate hips (optional) For Crust: Open package roll out pastry sheet and place on a greased cookie sheet. Take a fork and ¿tab holes into the top of the pastry covering the entire sheet. Place in preheated, 400degree oven. Bake for 13 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool. *In the frozen food section of every grocery store, you can find puff pastry. Puff pastry is primarily flour and butter, lots of butter! It is delicate andflakey,very similar to a croissant. I prefer this to frozen piecrust because it will hold up when being eaten like pizza, I would have preferred to buy all of my ingredients at leader Joes because they have lower prices than standard grocery stores. However, I was dismayed when I went to Trader Joes®, in Oceanside, and found they only carry puff pastry seasonally (e.g. fall and* winter months). As a result, I made my way to Albertsons®. They did have frozen Pepperidge Farms® puff pastry containing two sheets for $4.79, which I purchased for this recipe. Alternatively, Pillsbury has a 'break and bake' (paper tube) with one pastry dough sheet for $3.49. Apple Toppings: Peel, core and slice apple into small pieces bite sized pieces. Sauté apples and butter in pan on medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Add sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt to pan. Cook for additional 5 minute. Removefromheat and allow cooling. After topping cools, drain off excess liquid. * This is super easy to make and can used alternatively as a delicious topping for yogurt. Spices like cinnamon can be expensive. In the ethnic food isle of the grocery store, you will find Tampico brand bagged spices for 990. That is a huge savings from the $5 jarred spices. „Assemble: Soften cream cheese; you can microwave it for 15 seconds until it is soft and easily spreadable. If it does not spread easily, it will tear the crust Spread cream cheese evenly on puff pastry. Spoon cooled apple topping on top of cream cheese.

Not only does the gym offer a service for that workout junky but also gives students who can't afford the membership cost of their local gym a chance to get fit. Liberal Studies major Ashley Campbell never owned a membership to a gym and hasn't had a regular workout routine since high school. "I no longer have an excuse; now I can workout after class," Campbell said. Not only is the Field House used for recreational purposes but students can also take their mid-day siesta on the big comfy couches in See FIELD HOUSE, page 2 Interim President Enthusiastic to Work With CSUSM Students ByDIDILUND Pride Staff Writer Roy McTarnaghan has the experience of a leader so in the absence of an administrator; he took on the role as interim president at CSUSM.

The Field House opened its doors for student use Monday, Sept. 8, after its groundbreaking ceremony Nov. 30,2000. The Field House offers a state-of-the-art gymnasium, fitness center, indoor and outdoor basketball and volleyball courts, conference rooms, men's and women's locker rooms equipped with showers and bathrooms, and equipment rentals. The gym/fitness center is free of charge for currently enrolled students and only a small fee for Alumni and faculty.

A new bookstore, Discount Campus Books, opened directly across Twin Oaks Valley Road, providing students with an alternative to the on-campus University Store. Joe Padilla, the store owner, opened the store in hopes of providing a better deal for students. Padilla made such a request, citing the California Public Records Act. CSUSM complied but according to Padilla the list was incomplete. The acquisition of this list may continue to be a problem for It has been a challenge for Discount Campus Books to provide lower prices due to difficulties in attaining a complete official booklist. Professors at CSUSM provide a list of required texts directly to the University Store. The University Store, an Aztec shop, is a private business and need not share that list with any other businesses. CSUSM, on the other hand, is a public organization and therefore legally must share this "They may be able to provide a lower price but they will not have all of the required texts " Discount Campus Books but at present they have many of the textbooks in stock. Padilla seems confident that next semester his store will be able to acquire a complete booklist sooner. The list will make more of the Doug Iverson, a student on campus said, "I think it's only fair that the school provide him a booklist as well as the campus store if (students) aren't going to be able to have â say in who is allowed to sell books on campus." Despite difficulties, Padilla guarantees at least a 5 percent discount on new books, better discounts on used books and better buyback prices than the University Store.

The Cal State Trustees have set limits on the growth of other campuses. Roy Mcffiarnaghan The limits will cause an influx of students coming to CSUSM. To accommodate, academic blueprints have been made for a list of degree programs that will be implemented. McTarnaghan also expects the university to have a branch campus in Temecula in the near future.As for being a student advocate, McTarnaghan said that he would like to see the graduation time reduced, a higher freshman retention rate, and more accountability in advisement. He stresses the responsibility faculty and staff members have in providing the students an education in a timely manner. "We have a legal and moral obligation to provide them with courses they need to move them through on time," McTarnaghan said. He has already sent emails to faculty and staff regarding this issue. He works closely with the Academic Senate, to emphasize the need to hear the student voice in this matter.

Thé contract that the University Store has with the California State University Foundation states that the University Store will provide every book required for students. He said, "They may be able to provide a Jower price but they will not have all of (thé required texts)." Students also have other options when purchasing books.

The problem is less space to full class size. for parking. Khoury has noticed a change in class Enrollment numbers at CSUSM have increased size, She added that CSUSM should continue to dramatically over the past decade, but the emphasize small class size for one-on-one student/ teacher communication., continuation of that trend is in question. Tracks, a weekly newsletter published for the faculty and staff by the Office of Communications stated that in 1990, the total number of students enrolled at CStJSM was 448. By 1997, enrollment was up to 4684, and on opening day of the fall 2003 semester, 7,407 students were registered—a number expected to rise to about 7,800 during the add period. This is-an increase of 2.7 percent from the fall 2002 semester. The State of California is stepping in and attempting to halt the increase of enrollment. According to Richard Riehl, Assistant Vice President of Enrollment Services, this year's fall headcount is expected to be about the same as last fall; 7,600 to 7,700. The CSU systern, as a result of statewide budget cuts has been asked to halt enrollment growth through 2004-2005. As for limiting student growth at CSUSM, Riehl said, "We're at the maximum funding level now." Jennifer Stewart, a student at CSUSM also noticed the class size. "Yeah! One of my Professors said it went from 30 to 47." Stewart likes the increase in enrollment and said, "It's good, the classrooms are (full) and there are more people tb meet." Professor Beavers, a member of the faculty, said the increase in enrollment is creating a lot more work for everybody. This includes students fighting for classes and for faculty turning people away. She added that, "There is more excitement and a whole new energy." If class ^izès increase Beavers said if class size increases too much, there could be distractions. She wants to let people in classes, but there is a cost to that, she said. Student and teacher interaction can also be affected, she said. According to Professor Beavers, "It takes more work by everyone to keep the lines of communication open. Students do have responsibility there as well." 9/11 : Observing A Day in continued from page 1 According to www.sevis.net, SEVIS is a law that "increases the reporting obligations of all schools and institutions that receive international students.

Classroom Etiquette 101 By SCOTT CARPI Pride Staff Reporter Turn your cell phone' OFF. It's the start of the school year, and one of the most important aspects of our education is the atmosphere in which we gain our knowledge. After driving around for a half hour in one of our dusty dirt parking lots and walking up 18 flights of stairs in the hot desert heat, we are forced to sit in a cramped little room on the third floor of Academic Hall f ull of sweaty students for over an hour. That's alright though, because you've come here to get an education and by golly that's what you're going to get. Your notebook is out, your pen is cocked and poised for note taking, and the teacher has just started the history lecture when it^first begins. You can feel it from your toes to the tips of your ears, the ceaseless rat-a-tat tapping on the back of your chair.

This is exactly what I want to accomplish as the ombudsman for The Pride, a processing of criticism, in a constructive manner in order to make The Pride a better paper. This, of course, means there will need to be an active participation from you, the readers of The Pride. •I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and the position of ombudsman to the students, faculty, administration, and any other readers of The Pride.

These students, who never really seem to be paying attention, feel they need to be heard to bring some sort ofshallow validity to their class attendance. The process of asking questions to get a grasp of the lecture or lending a few sound bytes to add to the learning experience of school is obviously important and definitely acceptable. However, this student interferes with the teachers prepared agenda and usually will interject personal stories, often boring, often off-subject, and often resembling the pointless rambling jabber we might hear from rocker Courtney Love after any MTV award show. annoyance by discontinuing calling on the irritant, but they can be persistent.

Back to School By ELIZABETH BALDWIN Co-Editor This is not just a new semester for me here at CSUSM, but more like a new beginning. I am one of the many who have left the full-time working world to return to college and finish the bachelor degree that I started.. .ummm 8 years ago! „ I do give myself a pat on the back for choosing to complete my degree at CSUSM. Although my registration went a bit awry and I had to crash all my classes on the first day of school, other than that hiccup, the faculty and staff here at the school have been excellent in answering all my questions and helping me get situated with classes that I need. (I have heard horror stories from other classmates...so I do feel grateful that I had Such an easy time of this) So far my classes have been interesting and my professors have exuded professionalism, thereby, helping me forget the amount I just paid out of pocket for tuition fees. I'm sure many of you are in my same situation and are repeating the same phrase to yourself, "please let this be worth it"! "This" being time, money, commitment, stress & compromise of current standard of living. So here I am, alongside all my new classmates, making the required sacrifices! At first I was overjoyed that I woufci be able to box up all my dull and boring suits (I actually took a lot of pleasure in throwing out my pantyhose) but that one joy of being able to wear jeans everyday was soon over as my first week here commenced. Of course there is no dress code here! It would almost be considered a human rights violation if they made us wear dress clothes on campus. We drive to school only to park miles away from campus in a dirt lot (slight exaggeration.. but doesn't it feel that way?); we sperid our day running up and down stairs; and we sit in a freezing or stifling hot classrooms (how hard is it really to regulate the temperature of a rdom?). I thought this transition would be an easy one, oh how wrong I was! I never appreciated how nice the "working world" really is! I desperately miss my cubicle! My own little private space where all my happy photos are hung up; my favorite coffee cup sitting next to me (with company provided coffee); the company phone at my fingertips to make personal calls without using any , minutes on my mobile phone; and my computer to play my favorite music while I worked. Above all that has been said, the one thing I miss, most of all is that nice little amount of money that would magically appear in my bank account every 2 weeks! I know it has only been a couple weeks since school started.. .but I am Oh why, why did I leave again?

SCRIPPS Pride Staff Writer "Once Upon a Time in Mexico", the new film by Robert Rodriguez, is the sequel to the box office smash 'Desperado/ Rodriguez's first big film was a film called 'El Mariachi', a low budget shoot em' up in which a mariachi rebels against the drug cartel that is running his town, killing him. 'Desperado' was basically a remake of the same film for the US with a bigger budget, a sort o f'El Mariachi' on steroids. As sequels go, I've seen worse, but I've seen better too. As for an action rating, on a 1-10 scale, I'll give it an 8.5. It was actually very much like 'Bad Boyz II', which starred Will Smith. Everyone got shot and almost everyone died. In fact, it's a wonder that any of the main characters survived the film at all. But when it came to story line, I'm going to have to give this story a 2. You're probably saying to yourself, "Why does he care about the story line? Isn't an action film about action?" Wrong. An action film may have a lot of action, but it has a story line and that story line needs to be simple and fast. This one wasn't. The foundation of this film was undermined by some pretty thick subplots. Characters were : constantly shooting, killing, torturing, maiming, and two-timing each other. There were times when I was sitting in the theater and thinking to myself, "Is this film really only two hours, long?" If you don't believe me, just look at this list of contending forces; A huge drug cartel, a rebellious faction of the Mexican military, the patriotic (and rocket launcher toting) citizens of Mexico, a two timing Mexican Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek star in Colombia Pictures' action adventure, Once Upon a Time in Mexico.

It may not be South Mission or Pacific Beach, but San Marcos can now lay at least some claim to the title "College Town." Being the lone University in North County, CSUSM, - brings many diverse undergrads to the area. San Marcos should be the hub of college nightlife in North County. Alas, that is not yet the case, however, San Marcos is one of the fastest growing cities in San Diego County. College students can and should bring muchneeded spirit and economic fuel to the city. With that in mind, see where the locals head to after their studying is done. Are you gearing u p for next season's American Idol auditions? Zip and Zack's Filling Station & Pickup Joint, also in Restaurant Row, allows you to showcase your talents every Thursday and Friday with Karaoke night. If you are looking for a cold drink, a welcoming crowd, and maybe some fish and chips, then Penny Lane Pub and Grill on West San Marcos Boulevard might just be your pot of gold. You want sushi but you're on a budget? Boo and Mee Café on West San Marcos Blvd. has affordable Asian cuisine. If you are in the mood for an afternoon of sports on the television, you can check out the newly opened Boulevard Bar and Grill. If movies are your bag, San Marcos boasts Edwards San Marcos Stadium 18 Cinema Theater. Students show your school I.D for a discount. Maybe you just want to kick back and enjoy some live music and a latte after a midterm, then the Mocha Marketplace in Old Restaurant Row on Friday nights between 7:30 and 10:00pm is the place for you. There are four Starbuck's coffee houses in San Marcos, one with patio seating handy for cram sessions and study groups. It is conveniently located right across the street from the campus. So, though the nightlife of San Diego is right down the 1-15, this modest "College Town," San Marcos, just may have something for every taste.

The free event to the public was hosted in the quaint community room of the Carlsbad library, decorated only with plastic chairs, an American flag, and a humble podium. As people filed in, young and old, Terry patiently took a seat among thfe crowd, quietly waiting to deliver the moving poems that this audience would later unreservedly praise. Indeed, when listening to Terry deliver his literary work it becomes instantly apparent that he has an incomparable gift to arrange words in an image-filled, unforgettable manner.

I was always the kid in the corner, reading a magazine or a book. I never developed much interest in sports or anything like that." Though most of the material he writes would be considered " free verse", his narrative type p oems often border between poems and Short stories. When commenting on this, he makes sure to note, ' "you can't divide life into neat little sections. Things blend and overlap." In the collection of poems and short stories that make up his book Second Skin, Terry has chosen to often blend the two. Terry Hertzler is generous with his spare time, often guest speaking on college campuses and informing students nationwide about the challenges and benefits of writing professionally while simultaneously sharing his poetry.

He speaks in a smooth, deep, and animated voice when performing his poems concerning war, while speaking in a light and cheerful tone when reciting pieces on love and married life.

By the end of his readings, Terry has managed to transport the audience through his comical childhood; his tragic experience as a Vietnam solider, and his adventures as a husband.

Men's Soccer Evens Record to 3-3 BY LANCE CARTELLI Pride Staff Writer Coming off a heartbreaking loss to UCSD, the Cougars showed the most confidence they have all year and defeated Azusa Pacific University, the defending national champions, and Kansas Wesleyan, both 1-0 with late dramatic goals. Infrontofthelargestcrowdofthe year, the Cougars (1-3), scratched and clawed their way through the first half of play 0-0 against #7 APU, helping to build their confidence for the second half. After many opportunities, Brandon Zuniga was fouled in the box in the 65th minute, to set up a penalty kick to try and give the Cougars a 1-0 lead Christian Soares, who scored a PK against UCSD in their previous game, was stopped with a lackluster attempt on the PK. 'When a penalty is stopped, it's usually a backbreaker," said Coach RonPulvers. But the Cougars' backs were not broken, just three minutes later, Michael Nuovo, let loose a laser shot off a loose ballfrom25 yards out to give the Cougars the game winning goal. After the longest four minutes of stoppage time and the Blue Crew changing "Blow the whistle", the game wasfinallycalled and the fans erupted after the phenomenal upset victory. "This was the greatest soccer game I've been to at CSUSM," said Junior Rhys Morgan, "and I've been here since day one". In their second game of the week, the Cougars had another nail-biter against Kansas Wesleyan, defeating them 1-0, in what can only be called an ugly game. The game was physicalfrombeginning to the end, with seven yellow cards being called, mostly against Kansas Wesleyan. The Cougars had a plethora of chances, two by Senior Co-Captain Greg Reese, one was nullified by an offsides call and later another off a cross by Jose Rivas to Greg Reese, which was hit off the crossbar. "When you miss chances early on," said Pulvers, "you give the other team confidence". Finally, in another goal in the 68th minute, a throw-in from Troy Skomra, was played into the box and Greg Reese capitalized on it and the ball somehow made it into the corner of the net Now (3-3), the Cougars have another home game against Point Loma this Wed. �T HE^PRIDE I M I O M I STAFF EDITOR IN CHIEF VIRI DIANA PACHECOISAAC MANAGING EDITOR BEN M ROFFEE NEWS EDITOR JACKIE CARBAJAL FEATURES EDITOR CRYSTAL EVANS ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR KATHRYN MCBRAYER OPINION EDITOR AMY SALISBURY COPY EDITOR TIFFANIE H OANG LAYOUT EDITOR NICKSTRIZVER ASSISTANT LAYOUT EDITOR RUDY MARTINEZ ONLINE MANAGER JACKIE CARBÁJAL BUSINESS MANAGER & SALES REPRESENTATIVE KRISTINA LAWLER P 1 E D# S S .

Every time one becomes the other, it never ends well. Amethyst Initiative initiates controversy A lowered age limit is not the solution BY ROXANNE EUSEBIO Pride Staff Writer It has been 24 years since Congress passed the National Minimum Drinking Age Act (1984), an act that raised the purchase and public possession of alcohol from 18 to 21 years old. Today, some college presidents across the country are trying to lower the drinking age back to 18 due to incidents such as illegal means of obtaining alcohol and college binge drinking. These college presidents that want to lower the drinking age take part in the Amethyst Initiative. According to its website, Amethystlnitiative.org, it is unfair for adults who are under 21 to not purchase alcoholic beverages since adults 18 to 20 are eligible to vote and enlist in the military. They also insist alcohol education has not taken effect on students. While the website's explanations may sound reasonable, it does not take into consideration the consequences of lowering the drinking age. For instance, if the drinking age was to drop, it is likely that the number of alcohol-related accidents will increase two or three times. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said each year 55-58 % of highway accidents are related to alcohol. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 670,000 people are injured due to alcohol-related accidents. Just think of the numbers rising if the new drinking age were to be 18 instead of 21. A cruise down the highway could be even more dangerous than it sounds. College presidents believe that binge drinking occurred because of the high drinking age. I believe that if you lower the drinking age, binge drinking will never cease to exist, especially when more people will have very easy access to alcohol. This easy access will only cause more people to binge. More people binging means more people having their stomachs pumped or getting alcohol poisoning. If lowering the age will just release a great deal of problems, the law should stay solid to its original creed. Therefore, the drinking age should not be dropped. Sure 18-20 year olds want to drink alcohol, but they must know how to drink responsibly. There are still people out there who abuse alcohol, and they do not recognize the damage they are putting on themselves. While it is okay to drink, there should be a limit. Adults should know when to stop. If adults are really adults, then they would know when to make the right decisions. Until then, the drinking age will and should stay 21 and those underage will just have to wait for a couple more years or drink privately. A special note from the Editor-in-Chief: Ethics By Viridiana Pacheco-Isaac Editor-in-Chief Pick an opinion—any opinion—• and it is guaranteed that someone out there will disagree with you. We can never please everyone, and that is okay. The beauty of this country is that we have something called freedom of expression, and, when used appropriately, can be a beautiful thing. It is the obligation of the media to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and points of view, however popular or unpopular they may be. The opinion section of a newspaper, for example, serves as a haven of f ree speech, and oftentimes hosts such an exchange in search of robust and vibrant ideology, sparking discussion and drawing new ideas to improve our society. It is also the obligation of the media to hold people accountable for his/her actions without the use of sensationalism, slanderous or libelous content. It is our obligation to be t ruthful, to celebrate the accomplishments and progressiveness of our society and com- munities, and to also demand are exempt because they are answers when our govern- not "professionals." ments and administrators t ry In fact, any student j ournalto do us wrong. ist in a University of CaliforIn such a tight-knit com- nia, California State University munity such as Cal State San or California Community ColMarcos, however, this could lege system is protected under turn tricky. the California Constitution as Being a student journal- any legitimate member of the ist—especially at such a small press.

A newspaper belongs to the readers, and those in charge of it have the responsibility to acknowledge such a fact and make sure the execution of free speech is done in a manner that is ethical, moral and fair, by making the distinction between opinion and fact. Each section of the newspaper serves a different purpose. The opinion section of a newspaper for example, is simply that—opinions. In no way is it to serve a purpose such as that of the front page, sports, entertainment or features sections, though all have the same responsibilities discussed before The editors at The Pride share such a responsibility. In many ways, it is an obstacle to decide to write about things that are controversial and may cause tension among our peers. But we must. If we do not, we will not be upholding our ethics to the highest standards like we vowed to do when we decided to be journalists. If we do not, we are not being fair. And if we are not being fair, we cannot be journalists. �Women's Center Campus recreation A place for all students opportunities By Kathryn McBrayer A&E Editor Walking into the ASI Women's Center arouses a sense of comfort and a safe placet Information leaflets line the walls and table in the entrance, but the first thing to really catch the eye is the three soft couches centered in the room inviting students to take a break and just "be." A private space is available for people who need to get away for a moment weather to breast feed, cry or take a nap. "There is no time limit for people" says Hermi Ramirez, the Women's Center community outreach leader "We love it when people come in just to eat their lunch." The Women's center does not cater just to women, but all students are welcome to cruise into the center for information on health issues, social justice and so much more. Lindsay Riedel, operations coordinator, says "the Women's Center serves so many different purposes." The center provides crisis counseling and referrals for professional recourses and legal advice. It also offers practical help for students such as f ree condoms, tampons, dental dams and an electric breast pump that can be rented for the semester or just the afternoon. Free pregnancy tests are available along with emergency packages intended to provide essentials for women who need to get through a few days. Text books are also available for rent for the semester. The ASI Women's Center is sponsoring several events throughout the semester. This month they will be hosting InterACT on September 17th in Arts 240 a piece intending to educate about sexual assault, Sep 25th National Women's Health and Fitness day, an assertive workshop on Sep 24th, and Col. Ann Wright discuss Sexual Assault in the Military. Programs like these will be sponsored by the Women's center throughout the semester to address social justice issues. Social justice is also an important theme in the Rag magazine that the Women's center issues every month. Writers of all backgrounds are encouraged to submit articles, poems, questions themed on social justice. Quizzical students are also given the opportunity to ask uncomfortable questions to 'Aunt Flo' who offers wisdom on topics such as sex and relationships. This month's issue is a combination of on campus magazines The Queery, The Rag and the newsletter from the Cross Cultural Center. BY LANCE ROSENBERGER Pride Staff Writer Campus Recreation is a fairly recent addition to the CSUSM campus. Based out of the Clark Fieldhouse, they have many activities available to everyone, from students to faculty alike. Intramural sports makes up a large portion of what the Campus Recreation Center is currently known for. For just a flat $10 fee, you get access to ALL the Intramural sports throughout the year. Maybe make a basketball team with some buddies and come down on Friday afternoon from 12-5? Or you can join their Intramural Co-ed Dodgeball team. "It's fun, competitive and a great way to meet friends." says Friank John Tabarez, who formed a basketball team with some roommates this year. Campus Recreation even has big plans for some other Intramural Sports which might interest you. These include Kickball, Flag Football, Powderpuff, Womans Basketball, and more. Whatever you enjoy, they have a place for you. Not into Intramurals? No worries, we've just begun! They also have Excursions throughout the year. This is a great chance to get off-campus and have some fun. They already had an extremely successful Sailing Excursion, and they have a Rockclimbing Excursion scheduled for Oct. 6th. Excursions still to come include Kayaking, Bowling, Snowboarding, Paintball and more. Want to learn something fun without having to pay a fortune? Well they have free Fitness Leisure Classes for students. They include: Core Central (ABS) - Mon & Wed @ 3:30pm, Power Pilates - Mon @ 5pm, Kenpo Karate - Mon & Wed @ 6pm, Ashtanga Yoga - Tues & Thurs @ 12pm, Boot Camp Box- Wed @ 5pm, Hip-Hop - Tues & Thurs @ 4pm andAfrican Dance - Soon. You just have to show up. No paying, no signing anything, just gotta walk through the door. If only every part of college worked like that. Oh, faculty, I forgot to mention, you need to pay. But it's still cheaper that tuition, so it's not like it's a thinly veiled attempt at revenge or anything... The last big thing Campus Recreation offers are clubs. They have clubs for Surf, Cheer, Women's Volleyball, Dance, Women's Soccer, Cycling and Triathlon. Hugo Lecomte, the Director of Campus Recreation, has high hopes for this program. Lecomte says "(Campus Recreation) is on a mission to promote campus involvement by encouraging physical activity and healthy lifestyles and providing quality and safe recreational opportunities." With all the things he's got going at Campus Recreation, I think it's safe to say he is doing a great job. If you want more information, or want to sign up for any of the fun activities listed above, come on down to the Campus Recreation Center in the Clark Fieldhouse. They're business hours are from 11-1 and 4-7 Monday through Thursday and 10-1 on Fridays.

This program was taught by Professor David Phillips (UCLA), Professor Nicholas Rockwell (University of Denver), and, CSUSM's very own, Professor Darel Engen and focused on ancient Greek history. This phenomenal program combined daily classroom lectures with on-site visits to create an amazing learning experience. Students also read ancient Greek classics and the historical accounts of Herodotus and Thucydides. Students were tested on all materials during the course of the program which culminated with two final papers after returning home. The trip included extensive travel throughout all of Greece that cannot possibly be covered in one article but the highlights included exploring Athens and the Acropolis and pondering the daily lives of the ancient Greeks. We also visited the breathtakingly beautiful town of Nauplion with a Venetian fortress perched on a hill overlooking the town. We toured the ancient sites of Mycenae, Nemea, and Epidaurus and were able to learn about the ancient Greeks' importance of fortification, religion, and the theatre. We visited the ancient site of Olympia which was a sanctuary to Zeus and Hera in addition to the site of the ancient Olympics which ran from 776 BC until 392 AD. We also visited the city and site of Delphi which included many ancient temples and treasuries including the site of the oracle who gave prophecies to the ancient Greeks. Northern Greece included a trip to Thessaloniki and the ancient tomb of Phillip II of Macedon. The trip culminated in a 3 day cruise to the islands of Mykonos, Ephesus, Patmos, Crete, and Santorini which included shopping, beach excursions, site visits to the Library of Celsus in Ephesus and the palace of Knossos in Crete, a visit to the Cave and Monastery of Saint John on Patmos as well as a thrilling donkey ride and astonishing sunset in Santorini. During the trip, students were able to enjoy some f ree time aside f rom site visits and studying which included meandering the vast amounts of shops in the Athenian Plaka, exploring the National Gardens, watching the changing of the guards, climbing to the t op of the Venetian Fortress ift Nauplion (all 999 steps to the top!), and; most importantly, taking time out to make friends and enjoy the culture of Greece. Perhaps the most interesting part of the trip was all of the unexpected moments that occurred. On Patmos, I watched a Greek funeral procession that took place which provided an insight into Greek culture. On my last day in Athens, I was able to explore an archeological dig which was a surreal experience that showed the richness of Greek history that is continuing to be unearthed. In closing, I would like to thank Professor Engen for his dedication to education and for encouraging and challenging his students to "mind their brains."

"While the University Police Department and campus emergency responders work extremely hard to mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from all types of possible disasters, some situations may occur which may require you to protect yourself before officers can respond" cautions Manship. Disasters reach the inner core of human emotions and feelings. Natural reactions of panic and fear are common. However, remaining calm and levelheaded is key in chaotic events. Manship also encourages students to program their phones with the University Police telephone number 760-750-4567. ___ From RUSH, page 1 members," said Social Chair and Greek Life Council Delegate Gemma Fields. "We have never had a girl in our sorority not graduate." Alpha Pi Sigma's philanthropic work includes aiding Latino communities and others in need. Alpha Chi Omega and Alpha Xi Delta are the other two sororities on campus. "We're not recruiting this semester" Alpha Chi Omega Chapter President Anna Meldau said. "However we want the women to come out and get to know us and see if they want to participate in recruitment in the spring." Alpha Chi Omega supports the fights against Breast Cancer and Multiple Sclerosis. "We want to help women realize their potential," Alpha Xi Delta Chapter President Rebecca Baugh said of her sorority. "We want to help women better themselves." According to Baugh they support Rady Children's Hospital. All of the Greek organizations require potential members to be enrolled f ull time and have a minimum of 12 completed units with a minimum 2.5 grade point average.

That being said, not all of us are the same. We aren't all lucky enough tofindgratification in TRL or MySpace music, or discover a new artist just by listening to the radio. So why not hire music analysts to endlessly comb an everincreasing bundle of musical bliss? The Music Genome Project caught on fast and created Pandora to put a unique music database in the hands of users everywhere. The Project's internal workings are relatively straightforward concepts that go one louder. Since 2000, the team offiftyhandpicked music experts takes one song at a time and dissects works into hundreds of details, sometimes taking as long as a half hour to fully capture every nuance. The song's attributes—such as harmony, instrumentation, l yrics- Pandora Radio S « gU identify it with other songs to produce groups of music with remarkably similar styles and tones. "It represents over eight years of analysis by our trained team of musicologists, and spans everything from this past Tuesday's new releases all the way back to the Renaissance and Classical music." Joe Kennedy, Pandora's CEO, President, and self-proclaimed pop music junkie, is the driving force behind Pandora's success and range of clientele. However, Pandora surprisingly spread almost solely by word of mouth. By developing the Music Genome Project into a personalized radio, the appeal of only hearing music analytically chosen according to your distinctive taste became so great that that Pandora recently created applications for select AT&T and Sprint mobile phones. Pandora's website is simple to use and navigate. Users create "stations" by typing the name of their favorite artist into "Pandora's box" and letting the Genome Project take over. Users can create and refine as many stations as they want by banning artists that aren't quiteright,or bookmarking artists that are spot on. Another recent edition to Pan- dora's arsenal of musical expertise is the Pandora Video Series. The videos investigate various production techniques, explore worldfamous venues, and highlight the inner workings of specific bands' Why O-Team may be the place for you BY KRISTINA LAWLER Business Manager As a transfer student, I came into Cal State San Marcos knowing no one. I knew I wanted tofinda way to be involved on campus somehow and as I sat through my own orientation, Ifiguredout how. Orientation Team reminded me of something I did back in high school called Link Crew. Link Crew is aprogram that helps incoming freshmen by assigning them to upperclassmen as a sort of mentorship program. O-Team is similar experience except you do not have to be junior or senior to join, so even freshmen can join in on the fun. Not only does it look great on resumes because it is volunteer work, but you get the satisfaction of being involved with an organization that actually makes a huge difference on campus. If you don't believe me, just ask one of your fellow advisors how much they appreciate the help that O-Team gives them during orientations. O-Team won Campus Organization of the Year for the past two years in a row. Over the summer, O-Team helped 1,643 incoming freshmen, 1,032 transfer students, and even helped out 838 family members. If you think those people don't remember, think again. O-Team got its start in 1991/1992 and has since grown to about 43 students this past year. I was fortunate to be one of them. O-Team also gives students the chance to meet some of the most awesome faculty members on campus. The SLL office holds some fearless leaders who really are there for you in good times and bad. O-Team is a great way to help build your leadership skills and make great friends along the way. Yes, O-Team requires a lot of your free time, however, most of the time you spend hardly seems like work at all because you are having such a great time. O-Team also gives you the chance to obtain knowledge about the campus that you might not have found out otherwise. If all that isn't incentive enough to join, did I mention that you get to go on not one but two retreats over the course of the year. I, for one, am saddened by the fact that I will be unable to return to O-Team this year due to time constraints, but I encourage all of you to at the very least find out some more information about joining one of the best organizations on campus. It was one of the most satisfying experiences of my life. O-Team will be hanging around Kellogg Plaza from 12pm-lpm on the following dates: September 16th-18th and the 22nd-23rd so go talk with them and if meeting them is not enough there will be informational sessions held on the following dates: Tuesday 9/16University Hour, Craven 3701; Thursday 9/18- 6pm-7pm, UVA classroom; Monday 9/22- 5pm6pm, Craven 3701; Wednesday 9/24- 12pm-lpm, Commons 206; Thursday 9/25- University Hour, Craven 3701. So if you find yourself wanting to get involved on campus and that you yourself had a great experience at orientation, then I encourage you to pick up an application and join. sounds. It's difficult to admit that such an esoteric, theoretical approach to why people love certain music works so efficiently. The Music Genome Project's founder, Tim Westergren, urges participants to continue in their exploration of the musical universe and not think too much, imploring members to "Sit back, relax, and enjoy the music—that's the point."

Manneken Brussel Imports Inc., out of Austin, Texas, imports the genuine German wheat-doppelbock ale. Georg I. Schneider began the brewery in 1872. The 136-year-old brewery remains family owned and operated. Georg VI. Schneider currently oversees the company. Hi-Time Wine Cellars in Costa Mesa sells 23 fluid ounce single bottles. The dark brown glass bottle displays a purple, flashy gold and red label. A bottle cap shod in purple and white hues with the company's logo seals a beer with 8.2% alcohol by volume. The majority of beers on the market contain 5% ABV. Aventinus' higher than average ABV ensures an interesting escapade. The wheat beer pours extremely smooth creating a one fourth inch thick head. The head disappears almost as quickly as it formed leaving a very thin lancet. Despite an easy pour and petite head, the brew casts a dark brown hue. The beer releases a sour mash aroma and dark color correlates with the taste. At first sip, a strong powerful surge of flavor ravishes the lips, tongue, and taste buds. Banana, clove, vanilla, and chocolateflavorsand spices comprise the ale. The brew continues shocking the throat on the descending adventure below deck. The beer tastes better at colder temperatures. If visiting Germany over the weekend seems impossible, try a great authentic German tasting brew. As responsible Cougars, enjoy Aventinus responsibly! Bottoms game card for only $15.99.

BY AMY SALISBURY Opinion Editor What might happen i f207 people suddenly and inexplicably froze stiff in the middle of Grand Central Station? Get ready tofindout. New York-based comedy troupe Improv Everywhere's Youtube channel currently hosts a video called "Frozen Grand Central." In just over two minutes, viewers experience secondhand emotions ranging from disbelief to absolute hilarity at this no less than wondrous social experiment The video begins with a bird's-eye view of Bryant Park and one of Improv Everywhere's "agents" bellowing ridiculous instructions from a bullhorn. The plan is for over 200 people to synchronize their watches andfreezein place for exactlyfiveminutes in the middle of the largest train station in the world while perplexed onlookers go about their day. Suddenly, at 2:30PM, average people bizarrely become statues. Strangers begin talking to each other, laughing at the spectacle presented by this secret slapstick company. Regular commuters to and from New York certainly come across strange sights, but what could this be? "They stopped what they w e r e doing and stood, like,frozen,"remarks a young woman to her friend. An undercover agent chats up a disturbed family man, asking, "How long has this been going on?" A Grand Central attendant in a maintenance cart honks his horn and complains to the comedians with no luck. Then, the Improv agents nonchalantly go about their business once again to roaring (and confused) applause. As one of over 70 missions, Improv Everywhere has almost a cult following in and around New York City. In August of 2001, Charlie Todd founded the group after he and a few college friends decided to prank a bar in the West Village. Todd posed as the musician Ben Folds, and within three hours, he was drinking on the house. Improv Everywhere's global counterpart, Urban Prankster, covers other acts of comedy genius outside of New York City. Most recently, an annual prank called "the MP3 Experiment" has just announced dates in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. By the way, Improv Everywhere's slogan is "We cause scenes"; now it all makes sense.

This is seen by the fact that since they have entered the filmmakers' scene in the early 1980's, they made a film almost annually. So even after they won Best Picture for "No Country for Old Men," they continued with their work. Their latest work, "Burn after Reading" is another treat from these film geniuses.

When class gets out, this studious Mike's story doesn't start with "he and unassuming student sheds his wasn't always a musician" because, normal identity, grabs his turntables, well, he pretty much always has been. and transforms into the one of a kind At 12 Mike got hisfirstkeyboard. At entertainer, DJ Mike Strip. Hardly 13, a drum machine and turntables. a small name in the area, Mike is By the tender age of 14, Mike was CSUSM's premiere DJ, offering his entertainment services to an assortment of groups on campus. With fraternity m mu h an overly impacted program, Mike opted instead to leave his hometown for a new venture south ofhis normal stomping grounds. Even though Mike was still in Socal, moving out of Pasadena and being on his own carried with it an incomparable feeling of accomplishment. Now a Senior and Kinesiology major, Mike goes to school Monday through Friday in near 9-5 fashion. In between his full course load, Mike somehow manages to perform 2-3 gigs a week. His passion for DJing and production has proven to be a lucrative one thus far, and because of that Mike has been able to make music his job. For as long as music and DJing have been a part of Mike's life, he makes clear efforts to stay ahead of the curve. While like most DJs, Mike has moved awayfromlugging around crates of vinyls in exchange for the more versatile vinyl emulators, Mike has still managed to stay ahead of the curve. Wary of not getting too comfortable in an industry saturated with traditional DJs, he has moved forward into the less populated realm of Video DJing (VJing). With technology improving the affordability and accessibility of Video Djing equipment, Mike Strip has been able to participate in growing movement to cross the medium of music with video in Uve settings. VJing may require twice the skill, but Mike hasn't backed down from the challenge, making VJing a staple ofhis act. Keeping that innovative edge sometimes requires reinventing yourself, and that is just what Mike Strip is doing these days. Most recently, Mike Strip has revamped his image to make himself a more pronounced presence in the DJ world. Mike also plans on releasing his first album later this month, giving fans of his performances a whole new experience. But Mike is just looking at it as a chance to showcase his hard worksome 8 hours a day for 2 months straight- and mature as a producer. It his work as a producer and not just as a DJ that could launch his career to the next level. In the past, his work has appeared on television networks like CBS, NBC, and Lifetime, but it is his newest venture into production that Mike seems most excited about. At this point in his career, there seems to be nothing but limitless potential for this young and skilled entertainer. Mike stands to become a commanding presence in the music and entertainment industry, and CSUSM students should be excited to have a guy like Mike around campus. Although his aversion to the club scene has kept him from committing to any one venue, its safe to say that DJ Mike Strip Wereski is CSUSM's resident DJ. m " I • "I By Bill Rhein /Pride Staff Writer MADE OF HONOR SPEED RACER GRADE: DThis chick flick offers nothing.

While our enrollment increases each year, the number of parking spaces stays the same. Patti Hale and Robert Williams in Parking Services gave me the break down on the parking spaces.

Stella T. Clark fue seleccionada para fundar el Departamento de Idiomas Mundiales y Literaturas Hispanas de la Universidad Estatal de California en San Marcos (CSUSM). Hoy, 12 años después, Clark está en el proceso de retirarse de su carrera de maestra que ha mantenido por 38 años. Este semestre empezó su proceso de retiró cómo miembro del Programa de Retiro Temprano para la Facultad (FERP), dicho programa del sistema universitario estatal (CSU) tiene un proceso de 5 años en el cual la futura facultad jubilada empieza a adaptarse poco a poco a lo que será su nuevo estilo de vida. Este programa consta de dar clases un semestre y el siguiente no, y así sucesivamente hasta los cinco años cuando la facultad se retira totalmente de su área de trabajo. "El departamento debe irse a la dirección de la gente nueva, que llegó en los 90s, que tienen nuevas ideas porque ya hay muchas cosas que se enseñan en las universidades que no se enseñaban antes," dijo Clark.

A ella le gusta vivir en la ciudad en la que trabaja para poder conocer mejor a la comunidad. Por tal razón, dice disfrutar de eventos como la Guelaguetza al igual que mirar personas jugando fútbol en las canchas universitarias en los fines de semana debido al gran número que viene a la universidad. En la carrera de Clark, la fundación de un departamento de idiomas no fue el único problema que enfrentó. "Cuando yo me gradué de Kansas, todos los profesores eran hombres, hombres y americanos," dijo Clark sobre su generación. También dijo que en ese tiempo usualmente las personas pertenecientes a las minorías o de género femenino no eran maestros en universidades. Por tal motivo, ella dijo, "Me gusto servir de ejemplo para las personas que se quieren graduar y que creen que no pueden porque son Latinas, porque son mujeres o porque vienen de una sociedad que no admite este tipo pero que si se puede." jos. Por eso, Clark dice, "No se dejen vencer por los problemas que va a haber problemas pero que no son nada comparados con los problemas de la vida si uno no tiene su preparación académica." Este consejo Clark lo recibió de uno de sus alumnos que trabajaba en un servicio de limpieza por las noches y que ganaba una buena cantidad de dinero pero se sentía estancado en esa ocupación lo cual lo motivaba ir a la escuela para cambiar su estilo de vida. "Estudiar es una inversión emocional, psicológica, física, y económica pero que les va a rendir mucho cuando terminen... Es un regalo que uno se da a uno mismo," expresó Clark. Clark le tiene un gran y profundo amor a su carrera. "Creo que me pagan por algo que yo haría gratis. Los estudiantes son magníficos," comentó Clark. Clark empezó su carrera en 1964 como estudiante graduada y por primera vez enseñó clases tiempo completo en 1970. Ella obtuvo su licenciatura en la Universidad de Mississippi y su maestría eñ la Universidad de Kansas al igual que su doctorado. Fue en la Universidad <je Kansas, que conoció a su esposo de procedencia cubana con el cual tiene 35 años de casada. También fue ahí donde accidentalmente fue colocada en el programa de español en lugar de francés lo cual era su objetivo. De acuerdo con ella, así fue como encontró su verdadera vocación.

Since some of these changes were made the week before the start of the term or even the first week of the semester, it was not possible to include them in the course schedule. In addition, some classes were cancelled and others moved to different rooms to increase the size of enrollment. This administrative course of action comes after the cancellation of many classes over the summer break. The decision to cancel these courses depends on a variety of factors. "The most common is low student enrollment," said Michael McDuffie, the Associate Dean in the College of Arts and Sciences. According to McDuffie, courses like LTWR 115 or WMST 445 were closed because it "isn't cost-effective to keep it open" thereby allowing the money to be used for more popular classes that will serve more students. Other factors, such as consultations with the Department Chairs, the amount of available sections in a particular course, and General Education requirements are also taken into account when determining which classes to cancel. It is unclear if the currently enrolled students of these cancelled courses were taken into consideration as a deciding factor. one room to another" as well as changing "one time to another." This^ change is meant to benefit crashers and new students alike. Late demands for classes are resolved by moving the class into a bigger room. The academic schedule remains to be determined by a limited budget and limited space. The fees that are collected from the new enrollment is expected to be spent on increasing the "instructional budgets," therefore providing room for extra enrollment in the spring semester.

Last week, Dr. Salah Moukhlis, Professor of Literature and Writing Studies, gave an informative talk on the historical context of modern Islamic culture. Attendance at this event was very low ~ the audience numbered less than a dozen — probably due to lack of awareness of the event rather than disinterest Dr. Moukhlis, originally from Morocco, volunteered his time, despite the low turnout, to provide those who wished to learn more about Middle Eastern culture the opportunity to ask someone withfirsthandknowledge. The,second school of thought is that the Middle East can be modernized without loosing its cultural identity by merging with western culture to the extent that it is useful and simply not adopting western attributes that conflict with traditional values. In describing this more moderate stance Dr. Moufchlis quoted Bryan S. Turner who argues: "What makes religious faith or religious commitment problematic in a global postmodern society is that everyday life has become part of a global system of exchange of commodities which are not easily influenced by political leaders, intellectuals or religious leaders." The main theme of Dr. Moukhlis' talk concerned the strategies that the Islamic world is using in order to deal with the problems associated with modernity; namely, in trying to modernize without jeopardizing traditional identity. According to Dr. Moukhlis, there are three schools of thought on this subject. The first is radical for the Middle The third school of thought is that modernism is too secular and holds too many perils, and that the best solution is to return to the pure or ancestral ways that Islam describes as the model for social organization. To contrast this isolationist view, Dr. Moukhlis quotes Monshipouri who argues, "It is essential... to remember that secular rational By DESMOND BARCA Pri(Je besign Editor norms and Islamic social ethics are not mutually exclusive.... The Islamists'choice need not be H reduced to negation or toleration H of secularism. Rather Islamists must create an equilibrium * bet\yeen continuity and change, ( j cultural stability and universal 3 civility, indigenous development and globalization, and communal identity and internalization of human rights." Dr. Moukhlis points out that, dating as far back as Napoleon's invasion of Egypt in 1798, which he describes as being a huge a shock of modernism to the Middle East, the Arab world has felt a pressure to catch up with the West. While Moukhlis contends that most Middle Easterners like what the west has to offer ~ technology, democracy, and humanism — the west for them also represents violence, invasion, and the dehumanizing effects of colonialism. The values that the West holds as fundamental are universally admired, however the discrepancies between the theory and the practice cause disillusionment for Westerners and Middle Easterners alike. Giving voice to Arab sentiment from when he was living in northern Africa, Dr. Moukhlis said, "I love Dr. Salah Moukhlis, Professor of Literature and Writing Studies, speaks to mostly empty seats. what you love, too.

Debate By JASON PADILLA Pride Staff Writer Over one hundred people-ranging from grade school students to senior citizens gathered at 7 p.m., Thursday evening, at the Shadowridge Country Club Home Owners Association in Vistaf to participate and watch the annual mayoral debate. Enthusiasm was noticeably high during the introductory ceremonies, as everyone was anxious to find a chair in the crowded dining hall. With a few dozen still standing with their complementary snacks and refreshments, partly due to the large turnout and limited seating, the introductions began, and as the 3 candidates for Vista City Mayor took their seats, the forfrial dining hall grew silent in anticipation. followed by the current Mayor of Vista Ed Estes, and last but not least Morris Vance. Three candidates that were scheduled to speak but did not show were Craig Heiller, Joe Vargas, and Elvin Vega. Reasons for these three candidates not showing up were not given throughout the evening. All three candidates gave their five to ten minute presentations to either become or to continue as the mayor of Vista. While the candidates expressed their own personal goals and ideas, they also discussed similar issues they all felt needed adjustment. Similarly, topics ranged from traffic congestion to new and re-development of buildings and the beautifying of the older Vista The first of the scheduled Can- development.

With the audience asking more specific questions to their needs, each candidate talked for an additional three to five minutes in an attempt to answer their queries, While most in attendance were satisfied with the question and answer period, others were not. Clearly discontent grew among some members in attendance as certain candidates deployed obvious question-dodging maneuvers in an attempt to walk around questions at all costs. Sensitive or controversial subjects, such as the homeless population, homeless shelters downtown, and the building of new youth develDON'T TRY THIS AT HOME KIDDIES, I Upon meeting with random community businessmen and women after the event, it appeared that more thorough speeches, and addressing more specific issues and possible outcomes, might have been appreciated, while others were satisfied with what they were presented.

In a pre-9-11 world, this act would have been thought of not only as unthinkable, but more likely as a Hollywood stoiy line than an event that was to grip our nation unlike any in history. The endless news coverage assaulted us with images and stories of this horrific event and it was through these images that we identified with what happened - live video from three thousand miles away. It seemed surreal, too great to comprehend because hi our own backyard life was, for all intents and purposes.. .normal. It was easy to watch the smoldering ruins of two hundred and twenty stories and realize what an impact it would have. What would it be like to be there, to actually see first hand the destruction that has been wrought and the impact on the people of New York? Television can only show so much, it cannot accu* rately portray the feeling in th$ air, nor would it have the effect of witnessing firsthand what had really happened. For New Year's Day of 2002, a friend and I decided that we should witness first hand what had befallen our country. happened. Our hopes for seeing anything were becoming bleak as we noticed a line stretched from St. Mark's cathedral, heading north into the city. We started walking along the line looking for the end but it just kept going. It stretched for two city blocks then took an abrupt left and continued down for another four to the edge of the site then c u ^ J back up again. We got i nlii^Smewhere around here and settled down for what seemed like a long wait. This was the coldest I could ever remember being. I was growing frustrated with the howling wind, against which my scarf seemed defenseless. It was then that it hit me. One of the many Shrines created as a memorial for those who lost their lives during the terror attacks one year ago . New York in the winter is as beautiful as it is cold. There's a certain appeal from the leafless tress and frost covered grass. As in the movies, many of the buildings are dirty and old but when set upon the white winter sky, they have a romantic appeal that screams "This is New York!' Our plan was to get as close as possible to the World Trade Center site and hopefully not get chased off by 'New York's finest.' It w asn't until we \yere in Times Square on New Year's Eve that we learned a public viewing platform had been opened earlier that day. Packed in with half a million other people it was-the topic of much conversation. Some did not want to go because they felt it was sacrilegious while others could not wait for the chance to see the awesome spectacle of destruction. Most however wanted to pay their respects, like a never ending memorial service, a form of prayer, and a word of silence, remembrance. The New Year rang in with red, white and blue confetti and a personal address from Mayor Rudolph Giulianni, who said that after September 11, we were all New Yorkers. marked for September 15 but never opened for consumers to take advantage, a closed coffee shop with 9-11 specials still in the window helps serve as a reminder that this area was completely shut down. Signs of life were becoming apparent as we made our way to the observation platform; the scene transformed from a bleak, empty reminder to the bustle that New York is associated with, only this time it was different. The cab ride was easy. We simply told him that we wanted to get as close as possible to the World Trade Center as possible. He nodded, having heard this many times already, and in silence we made our way to New York's financial district. Despite the cold, the sun was shinning brightly, reflecting off of huge office windows from the buildings still left in Wall Street. We were dropped off east of the World Trade Center on the edge Cabs were busy picking people off Battery Park. up and dropping them off but for one very different reason. They From there we made our way were coming to see just what had west, walking alongside the site and catching glimpses of the destruction in between buildings. What was really catching was the numerous businesses that were closed on 9-11 and became a kind of time capsule - a shoe store with a sale in the window The wind had yet to bother me in New York but standing next to a sixteen square acre hole, it swept through the site with a fury and without the towers to buffet it, it attacked at will. After two and a half hours of eternity and a chin I knew I had but could not feel, we made it back to the main street and started our slow procession towards the viewing platform. The sunshine seemed to have faded, replaced by gloom as slowly we marched and then all the various memorials left by family and well-wishers invaded our senses. Candles were still burning around make-shift signs and computer printouts of missing friends, husbands, wives, sons, and daughters. I wasn't feeling the cold from the wind anymore, just the piercing chill of these haunting images of smiling faces that would never again see the light of day. An old, rusty bicycle was chained to a light post and it seemed odd that the owner had not claimed it. Looking closer, there was no owner to claim. It too was a memorial, adorned in flowers and a rosary with a sign X anse» SSSSf**^SSSi»S ** • ' illHIS IHifB tini C I Photo Montage By DESMOND BARCA Sii. l I» i * I . aijg^ f ttflil 3:.i « t i 3 mil ;H «ï\ 3*i i *J 3 %t * » ; ' ** % t �The construction continues at ground zero of the World Trade Center attack. paying tribute to the bike messengers who had lost their lives. It was strange: the news portrayed, endlessly, the fallen heroes of the Fire and Police department but you did not hear much about the little guys. That got me thinking, what about the janitors, the cooks, and the maintenance guys? There must have been thousands of these people that were equally affected by that terrible day. St. Mark's was an active recovery center for the World Trade Center. Exhaustedfirefightersand rescue workers made their way in and out and a hand painted sign on plywood made it explicitly clear that the entrance was to remain clear of people. We were almost there and we came upon the biggest memorial yet. Hundreds of pictures of missing people and signs of encouragement of shared grief from all across the country. Every state was represented here, every American from every ethnic group and culture. It was not that the memorial was so massive; it is that the depth and scope of it was. Some looked on in shock, others buried their heads in their hands and sobbed, while still others looked visibly angry. What was M B f l llllïSSiîiIg ft* ** ** ; *«, 1*1 Ij i I* * I' I People were quiet, walking the hundred-yard ramp up the platform and to the viewing area. Most kept their heads down, it could be said to avoid the wind, but I like to think it was out of respect. Police inform you when you get to the actual viewing stage that you have three minutes and three minutes only. They were serious. I saw them usher away many loiters except for one woman who was sobbing uncontrollably. They did not have it in them to tell her that time was up. It was easy to boot someone who had just snapped off twenty seven pictures and was reload" ing yet another roll of film, but how do you tell someone who is looking wildly into the crowd, through her tears of grief that it's time to go? Standing on the edge of the makeshift platform, it's impossible to believe what happened. I was right. Watching it on T.V. makes it seem small and unconnected. One of my first thoughts was that planes didn't do this, someone dropped about a hundred bombs. It looked like a war zone. The pile of rubble was obvious and backhoes normally 50 feet tall were so deep in the site you could only see the top of their buckets. Most of the surrounding buildings had half their windows blown out except for one. It was an older building, roughly forty feet high and made of concrete. It was melted. It looked like sulfuric acid had been dumped all over it and like a candle left lit overnight had just melted away. The human mind was not designed to take in a scene like ^rn^mmmmmmthis. 1: * SS*ftJ tlfflplt S*r so horrifying was that when you looked at a picture of a missing loved one, you could almost see them in daily life and you knew it easily could have been you. *»**•*! »••«• ****** ***** ***** T**»** ***** :V " t i l " . + ***** Imagine all of Qualcom stadium and the parking lot gone, just...gone.

Walking down the exit ramp people had scrawled messages on the plywood offering hope and unity with New York. There were thousands of them, yet the platform had not been open even twenty-four hours.. .amazing.

"American Idol" took America by storm when it made its world premiere on June 11, at 9:00pm on Fox. Two nights a week, millions of viewers stayed glued to the TV to find out which potential Superstar hopeful would be ousted next. M aking The viewers called in each week to determine who gave a star-studded performance and who gave a not-so-stellar performance. Whether your favorite was RJ Helton, A.J, Gil, or the obvious sex kitten of the bunch, Ryan Starr, most viewers had their top three of who they thought would win. From an overwhelming group of surveys and public opinion, it was plain to see that Kelly Clarkson, Tamyra Gray, and Justin Guarini were the favorites who were predicted to make it to the grand finale show. of a shocking vote on Wed. August 21, Tamyra Gray was voted off which left Nikki McKibbin the mediocre mundane rock vocalist to be ripped apart vocally in the upcoming episode. Needless to say, the following week*America said farewell to Nikki McKibbin. The two-hour grand finale left the other two favorites Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini to battle it out with songs never heard before.

Registration and Records enters the application information into Banner (an administrative software system), and the yellow copy of the application is sent to advising. Imagine the deflated sense of accomplishment and the disruption to one's life that this would cause. Careers may have to be put on hold or even simply impeded. Relocating back to the San Diego area is likely necessary. And, one must find the financial resources and time to devote to reenrollment. Now let us see what the graduation 'technician' is up to. She or he runs a report to determine who has applied and reapplied for graduation. Each applicant's file is pulled from advising. Banner is checked to see if the applicant has transcripts that need to be copied from Registration and Records. Along with the retrieval of any and all necessary transcripts, approved alternate course agreements, independent study contracts and incomplete agreements are also gathered into the student's folder. I am sending this letter for a couple reasons. First of all, there is erroneous information contained within the article on HALO ("The Low Down on Halo") in the Arts section of The Pride's September 10 issue. The author wrote that it is possible to play through the levels cooperatively with up to sixteen players, he is wrong. With more than two players you can only play against each other, not against the aliens. Also, he failed to mention the online capabilities of HALO. out, goes to the cashier's office to pay fees (because apparently tuition is hot sufficient to cover paper processing), then back to Registration and Records to turn in the completed application. But then they get a phone call from Registration and Records, interrupting that next phase. The student is informed that "due to an error," they must return to the university to fully complete their requirements, and their degree is invalid until having done so. Editors: One student to whom this revocation happened inquired as to why he should come back, being that the physical degree was already in his possession. He-was told that his degree is now invalid, to be considered a forged document. So he returned to CSUSM to watch an employee in the Registration office shred his diploma, and he reluctantly handed over his tuition for the upcoming semester. \v Ü ÄI Lead Editor Lead Editor Design Editor Ifews EdStw OpiiiiQO Editor Spanish Editor Feature Editor * Arts Editor Sports a litor Graduate Intern Copy Editor Msiness Manager Advisor ...I would like to challenge him.

It leaves us second-guessing the determinations of the people being paid to advise us because they cannot invariably be relied upon. It leaves us to be extra cautious about our own graduation planning. And, well, in some unfortunate cases it leaves us plain SOL, as the saying goes.

Last week, student Lorraine Puckett was unable to get her wheelchair out of her van because someone had parked on the blue lines of the handicap space. People who turn the blue lines of a handicap space into makeshift parking spaces are asking for a very expensive ticket. CSUSM President Gonzalez explained that our parking situation is complicated because the state does not subsidize parking services in any way. Parking services must be completely selfsupporting. Gonzalez explained that to build the six planned parking structurés, no state funds can be used. Money for construction of die structures must come from parking services through substantial increases in parking fees. Gonzalez also explained that parking structures are extremely expensive to build. It breaks down to something like 12-18 thousand dollars per space. Therefore, if a structure had 1000 spaces, at $12,000 per space, that equals 12 million dollars for one structure. And that's the low end of the money spectrum. Gonzalez assures students that there is a committee currently working on the parking issue and looking at alternative areas and solutions. Gonzalez is waiting for the committee to report back to him with their recommendations. school, they'll be able to park because it's not going to happen while we are here.

BARTON EdiTOR'iN'ChiEf Commuting students may not have to fight for parking or to cross the 78 freeway bridge on Twin Oaks Valley Road by the year 2000, if they live along one of 14 planned commuter train stops. The North County Transit District (NCTD) is including a two mile loop to Cal State San Marcos in its plans for a diesel electric train service between Oceanside and Escondido. Currently in deliberation is whether to utilize the same technology on the loop. The elevated bus way is estimated to cost $5 to $7 million. While the monorail would be more costly to construct, most of the land needed is already publicly owned. An elevated bus way would require the pipehasing more land, which could prove to be costly. Main rail trains that will run between Oceanside and Escondido are comparable to San Diego red trolleys, though they do not utilize overhead cables. The loop to CSUSM will shoot off near the San Marcos town center, and will re-join the main rail at Woodland Parkway, after going under Highway 78.

By ToNy BARTON EdiTOR'iN'ChiEf Change has been a constant at Cal State San Marcos, and such is the case with this new year. As state support dwindles, and student body size increases while classroom space does not, President Bill Stacy's State of the University speech posed him as onereadyto take on the ever present struggles of raising a university with the on thing that has remained constant throughout the universities 7 year lifespan- change. Said Stacy, "We are a nation that likes options, as we change jobs, products or universities to get what we want. Thankfully, that swirl of institutional change is no stranger to us." Stacy c ompared t he university's adaptation to a 4,500 student enrollment, and 150 new staff and faculty to a "team", whose players shuffle each new year. New students account for moce than h alf'of^he total population of the student body. These students, Stacy said, will have expectations higher than those who remember the university at it's first location. "Not only do (new students) not share that excitement and prefer the cramped space here to Vallecitos-they will be more than a little aggravated by the space squeeze and the strain on stadd to accomodate them," said Stacy. Stacy r eflected on last years accomplishments, including the passage of Proposition 203, which funds the Photo courtesy of the Office of the President President Stacy gave the annual State of the University Address at California Center for the Arts, Escondido on Aug. 21. construction of a new building, the International building, scheduled for completion in 1998 and the arrival of the first freshman class.

I 've always thought it might be easier to write newspaper stories than a critical analysis of Hamlet, for instance. I mean, how hard could it be? I read Dave Barry's syndicated column in the Union-Tribune every Sunday and all he does is talk about some inane thing he thought of while lying in his hammock in the backyard, sipping a cold lemonade and trying to keep flies from landing in his mouth. I can do that, I thought. No problem. What I didn't realize is that it's difficult to be observant. Suddenly, I find myself no longer consumed by thoughts of numero uno, and spacing out while walking around the campus is slowly becoming a faded memory. I am now forced to notice my surroundings and, frankly, I 've shocked and amazed by what I 've seen, For instance, did ybui Kftdw that thB? lines at the cashier's office actually shrink to a manageable length well before parking permits are required on vehicles parked in campus parking.

But try that on the first couple of days of school in August and you'd find yourself in line purgatory. By the way, here's a tip for those of you in your first semester at CSUSM. There is a little known school supply that you may find beneficial, especially if you plan on using the restrooms on the third floor in Academic Hall. Paper towels! Usually, you can find someone who is willing to share but on those rare occasions when there are not 500 people jammed in the restroom with you, it's nice to have your own. Besides, it's a great way to meet new friends. Sometimes, at least for ah amateur observer like myself, it's rather difficult to distinguish between the teachers and the students and, honestly, Ifindthe whole thing rather disconcerting. I 've got professors who want me to call them by their first names and who dress like my teenage daughters, and students who remind the teacher to collect the homework, think they know more about the subject matter than God, herself, and have something to say about everything discussed in class, whether they do or not.

In fact, they'll go out of their way to do just that. They'll help you if someone tries to do things to you, and they'll help you when things go wrong. Who are they? The State University Police. They patrol day and night. T here are 14 i ndividuals in the university's crime/safety program- a chief, lieutenant, four officers,fivedispatchers, one guard, one parking enforcement officer and six community service officers. OfficerMario Sainz, teaches a course for women on how to defend themselves from an assault. Entitled RAD, it will be offered on Oct. 14,15,18. Said Officer Bobby Rivera, "I would encourage the campus community to take brochures on prevention vehicle theft and prevention of personal assault. They are free for the taking They're available at the Public Safety Office located on the east edge of the campus at 441 La More. Lt. Alicia Smith, the second-ranking officer on campus, said, "CSUSM has very little crime and we want to keep it that way. One of the things the university community can do is to know who we are and that we are here to answer any questions you may have about your safety, parking, or road problems." "We have a number of services that are available to the university community, but which some of the new students and staff may not be aware of." For instance, if you have a dead battery you will be connected directly to the dispatcher when you press the button on one of the 11 emergency poles located in the parking lots. An officer will be dispatched to the emergency pole even if no one is on the line. Very quickly, someone will come with battery cables, start your car, and get you on your way, said Smith. Lock your keys inside? No problem. The officers are equipped with tools and training to help you. As soon as a call is placed a light on the dispatcher's board shows the exact location of the call in the parking lot— even if the phone is hung up. Although public safety officers are restricted from changing tires by law, they will place a service call to AAA "Under no circumstances will we leave you alone at night or in any situation in which you feel threatened," said Rivera. All four officers hope that if the opportunity presents itself, students will walk up to them and introduce themselves, said Rivera. "I would encourage students to participate inofficer Sainz's (RAD) class.They are free of charge, and there may come a time that (participants will) be greatfull for what information they recieved.

Contents ©1996, T l , e P Rldc Please recycle this newspaper Public notification of college crime essential On Sept. 11, Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) introduced legislation entitled the Open Campus Police Log Act of 1996. If enacted, bill would require all colleges and universities in the nation to provide a daily log and public notification of all on-campus crimes. The House has similar legislation in the works, introduced by Congressman John Duncan (R-TN). Currently, higher learning institutions are not required to publicly disclose campus police logs. Complaints by students and parents about the inaccuracy of crimerelated information provided by colleges and universities have resulted in the proposed bill, according to a Feinstein news release. In the absence of legislation requiring open crime logs, institutions have covered up their own criminal environments that some may not wish themselves or their children to experience. Students, parents and the surrounding community have a right to accurate information. Criminal statistics may be a decisive factor in a student's choice of an institution. Parents may also be swayed from sending their child to such a school. This is the very reason some keep their records closed. If a high crime rate university was exposed, administrators would logically respond by upping security measures and spending. Perhaps educational activities would suffer budget cuts; but isn't it better to be short one science lab than to be mugged and left for dead in the school parking lot? Public access to information dealing with the safety and well being of students makes sense. It alerts students to the potential dangers of schools they are considering attending. It also forces institutions to combat on campus crime, if only for the sake of attracting new students. The Open Campus Police Log Act of 1996 ensures that the school you ?re attending is safe for you and your belongings. Simply put, we must uncover a smoking area STEG STEGMULLER Simply put, there is no smoking under any covered area at this university. Please notice the word "covered". If you cannot see the sky when you look straight up, don't light up. Is that so hard? . There is no smoking in the courtyaid in front of the book store where the tables and coffee bar are located. Yes, I'm fully aware that coffee and cigarettes are lovers. But lovers can be discreet, and they should also be aware of the no smoking signs posted there. It is only a short hike up the stairs from this area, maybe 80 feet, to the open area around the Dome. Shade, chairs, and tables welcome you there—and so do the rules. It's not just the students who break the rules, staff and professors also have been observed smoking in the restricted areas. And who is going to tell them? Not me. 1 don't mind a little smoke on my grades. But, they shouldn't be breaking the rules—they should be observing them. The cost of cost of cleaning up the butts up uses money that could be better spent elsewhere and labor that should be doing other worthwhile work. Why not have ash trays in the covered walkways so the butts won't get thrown on the floor? The rules prohibit it because that would encourage smoking. You don't leave guns and bullets around when you are trying to discourage shooting. Cigarettes butts, are jeeringly referred to by non-smoking zealots, as "smoked out tampons," Imagine what the metaphor would be if they had lipstick on them! It's morerealisticto think of the butts as unsightly and offensive to a laige part of the university community. For those who are highly allergic to smoke, they are dangerous as well. The solution simply may be to create a place, where excellent coffee and good seating afford those who wish to smoke a place of their own. A place where they can relax in a mini community, of their peers, or with non smokers who feel comfortable in a smoking environment. We need to do that in a non-confrontational manner, realizing as we go that smoking makes up an important part of some individuals lives, and that is inherent in some of the cultures others come from. We need to be sensitive to them, as well as others, in the way we resolve this problem. The university community should consider every one's concerns in a friendly, solve-the-problem attitude. It can be done. In the meantime, if you smoke, please observe the rules. �LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Prude, Wednesday, Sevreaihen 18, 1996 In defence of InterVarsity's meeting Dear Editor, In response to the "Religious Bigotry Unacceptable" (letter to the editor in May 1 issue of The Pride), I don't think that the author of this article understands the c onsequences o f c arrying o ut h is thoughts. On of the things the writer said is that a campus organization should not be allowed to have the freedom of speech to express its beliefs and concerns. I think it will be a sad day when a person or group of people are not allowed to hear about o r d iscuss t he b enefits o r f aults o f another's ideas. We d o the same thing in each one of our classes for the purpose of determining which is the better explanation or the more logical conclusion to a problem. Since the person who wrote "Religious bigotry unacceptable" wasn't at our March 12 meeting, when we discussed our topic "What does the Mormon doctrine really teach/ Are Mormons Christians," I feel he is not talking out of knowledge. However, I will inform everyone that our speaker was not spreading a message of hate, but rather stressed that we should not use the problems of the Mormon doctrine as a way to attack Mormons. He challenged those in attendance to center discussion on the supreme issue of who they really think Jesus Christ is? Secondly, in regard to the author's opinion of tolerance, as a contemporary scholar so precisely states, "tolerance in personal relationships is a virtue, but tolerance in truth is a travesty. Two plus two doesn't equal 17. It equals four. If this truth is circumvented to calculus, the inevitable result is chaos. Likewise, to compromise the claims of Christ can only lead to calamity." In addressing what seems t o be an underlying premise of the author's article, I find no logic behind relativism. It seems like this is what he might have also meant when he said, "regardless; of if you feel their faith is valid-in your e y£s,it i s certainly valid in their eyes." He i s right that it is valid in their eyes, but being valid doesn't mean it is true. All religions are not true. What is true remains unaffected by our wishes, or whether someone believes that their religion is true or not. The truth remains intact and doesn't change based on someone's view of truth. "All truth is exclusive-it excludes what is false as it affirms what is true. After all, if its true that the capital of the United States is Washington D.C., then it is false that it is any other city on earth. That truth excludes innumerable cities." This should clear up our purpose behind the March 12 meeting. If you have any further questions or comments I'd be more than willing to talk, e-mail me anytime. Also we would be glad to have you join us at any of our InterVarsity meetings. We are not sending a message of hate, but of truth and love. Brent King InterVarsity Christian Fellowship Calling free speech 'hate and bigotry1 is unacceptable Dear Editor, Censorship and banning open discussion doesn't have a place in America, let alone on a college campus. Aren't accusations of bigotry and hate just because of a flier stating "What does Mormon Doctrine really Teach?" evidence of real intolerant bigoty? Most Americans love truth, free speech and open discussions. Some Americans are so sheltered they d on't know what real religious bigotry i s. F or my s pring b reak I was priviliged to travel to Antipolo, Rizal near Manila and see the Movie "Kristo", which I found to be a fascinating blend of Biblical story with Filipino culture. Unfortunately, when I travelled to Zamboanga in Midanao that very same movie had been bombed 4 times by a fanatic anti-Christian minority group. That's real hatred! (Maybe their free speech had been censored).I propose a whole series of religious discussions: What do Catholicism, Christianity, Islam, Hindu, Judaism, and Atheism teach? Sorry if I left anyone out. Alex Albeit Senior Computer Science Government wastes natural resources Dear Editor, I recently performed a few hours of work for a local university. In order to get paid for that work, I was required to complete some forms. I must confess it disturbs me greatly that an institution, which purportedly advocates intellectual freedom and inquiry in the hope of advancing humanity in a positive direction, engages in willful habitat destruction and waste of precious natural resources. I am speaking of trees and the number of which are cut down in order t o c reate r edundant g overnment forms. In order to get paid for a mere 18 hours of work, I had to fill out 5 pieces of paper, all asking for identical information, one of which was in quadruplicate — 8 pieces of paper altogether. T he free market (environmental) approach would have been to compile all the information on one form, enter it into a computer and email the information to the appropriate departments, making the free market approach at least 86% more efficient. While I had no alternative but to submit to this meaningless exercise in penmanship, the waste created by government institutions and agencies such as this one is unnecessary, excessive and appalling. I was under the mistaken impression that the "computer" would somehow streamline government bureaucracy?!? The San Diego Reader recently did an investigative report on why doctors are refusing to accept Medicaid patients — nearly 200 pieces of paper (government forms) must be filled out for each patient! Is it insanity that drives government officials into these wasteful frenzies or is the urge to confiscate and waste tax dollars merely for selfish reasons — like j ob security? It's no wonder that Americans are coming to the conclusion that government just doesn't work. intolerance are not welcome where free speech reigns. Gina Forsythe Political Science/ Liberal studies Mary Szterpakiewicz Gradute Student Criticize events that you attend Dear Editor, This is a reply to the opinions expressed in a letter to the editor printed in the last issue of The Pride concerning supposed religious bigotry at Cal State San Marcos. Patrick Erbeck-McKinnion, Psychology major, stated his concerns about the d ifferences between Christianity and Mormonism. Certainly the Latter Day Saints population felt no threat from the forum (much less the flyer) held by InterVarsity Christian Fellowship since no public statement was issued from the LDS community. Why does Patrick purport to be the vanguard f or LDS b elievers? Patrick states he is not Mormon, and furthermore fails to logically substantiate his accusations against the forum. I suggest the LDS student might do better to present their own case without the help of his unfounded conclusions. The argument that simply because faith is valid in the eyes of its believer somehow justifies gurard from criticism has no;place at an i nstitutioft o f higher (earning such as CSUSM., where all ideas and beliefs are subject to critical discussion and debate within the classroom and outside of class. It will be a sad day for free speech when one individual may dictate the boundaries of intellectual discourse. The allegation that to hold a forum contrasting Christianity and Mormonism somehow spreads hate and bigotry is an argument rooted in suspicion and ignorance. Since the letter opens with concern over the flyer, it is unclear if he attended the forum itself. If he was absent, he has no reasonable foundation to assert that the forum promoted hate or bigotry of any kind. Moreover, he fails to cite any information about the actual'event. The forum, which I attended, was merely a presentation comparing and contrasting the doctrines of Christianity with the doctrine of Mormonism. Conducted by an expert on the teachings of Mormonism, it was an educational presentation for everyone, Mormons and Christians included. Among other things, Christianity teaches love, tolerance, and the inherent value of knowledge. The university environment encourages critical thinking and diversity. T his combination p rovides groups, such as IVCF, an atmosphere wherein it is acceptable to consider and debate differing points of view in an open forum. Bigotry is u nfounded p rejudice against race or religion; it is the exclusion of ideas based on personal preference or predisposed ideology. Mr. ErbeckMcKinnion's letter epitomizes such prejudice. To lend credibility to his aiguments, I would advise Mr. Erbeck-McKinnion to attend the events he criticizes. Slanderous unfounded accusations and suspicious We have a right to know what animals undergo Dear Editor, I recently was shocked and ashamed to discover that unnecessary, cruel experiments are being performed upon intelligent little creatures, our fellow earthlings, the rats, right here on our very own campus, C alifornia State University San Marcos. And furthermore, I was annoyed to realize how very little information I could find out about these experiments. I have e-mailed the entire Biology department and support staff at CSUSMj requesting information on these experiments and did not receive one response. I asked in person the director of the Biology department, Richard Bray, about the experiments in question and he referred me to the CSUSM Catalog. Of course the catalog's course descriptions are vague and fail to describe specific laboratory procedures. Bray also in his indirect information alludedto j'^pmB^ative physiology" (he must have been referring to Comparative A nimal P hysiology t aught by B rian Norris (one of those professors who ignored my e-mail).) I still am wondering what the Biology department is doing to animals and f or w hat e ducational p urposes. T he CSUSM Psychology department, on the other hand, was much easier to get information about although not much.1 talked to P rofessor Keith Trujillo, teacher of PS YC 390 and 391 (and self pnxrfaiiried vivisecting vegetarian) and he told me that his class Jias rats in a Skinner box where they are withheld water until they learn to press a lever. Trujillo feels that this experiment is "necessary" to teach his students about conditioned behavior even though the experiment has been done over and over before and can easily be replaced with a video. I requested to see theserats where they are kept and Trujillo made it clear that he does not "give tours" because it makes him "uncomfortable." I feel that everybody has a right to know what treatment living beings of other species are subjected to on our campus and for what reasons.

Try Old Poway Park. It will take you back in time to the old west. Take a short ride on a train, visit a pioneer museum, have a party in a lovely old hall, rent a gazebo, have a picnic. The park is open on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Sundays f rom! 1 a.m. to 2 p.m. On the first and third weekends each month, you can catch a ride on a train hauled by Engine No. 3. Built in. 1907, the engine spent 45 years hauling rock three miles for the Henry Cowell Lime and Cement Co. near Oakland, CA. On the second and fourth Saturdays and fourth Sunday, you can ride on a trolley used in Los Angeles at the turn of the century. It was restored by the PowayMidland Volunteers. Originally an electrical trolley, it now runs by a Corvair engine. When the trolley is in for repairs, the volunteers substitute a speeder engine, originally used to haul workers and supplies to mines, along with two gondola cars which were built in the 1880's, and used in mines to haul rocks and ore. There is no train or trolley service on the second Sunday of the month. If you're not into riding the rails, try the Heritage Museum at Old Poway, where you can see artifacts donated by the pioneering families of the community. The museum is run by volunteers who are constantly upgrading an creating new displays.

Were five Rocky movies necessary? Three Die Hard movies? Two (with a third on the way) Mighty Ducks movies? In fact, it's almost impossible to think of a movie produced in the last five years that actually warranted a sequel. Yet Hollywood continues to milk the cash cow of an already successful idea and cheapen it. Such is the case with The Crow: City of Angels. The successor to the 1994 surprise hit whose popularity was fueled by the on-set death of its star, Brandon Lee. City of Angels is just another sequel in the long line of sequels that should never have been made. The main thrust of The Crow is justice. When someone is killed wrongly, according to the plot, sometimes his soul , oannoqrest, and a crow must resurrect the person to right the wrongdoings. When translated by Hollywood, this means bloody killfest. There is only so much that can be done with this concept- how many ways can one kill for retribution and still remain interesting? Answer: certainly not two. City of Angels is nothing but a rehashing of the first Crow movie, with lesser acting, dialogue, and action. The big plot twist consists of aiather and son being killed rather than a man and his fiancee. 'j* Ashe, this year's Crow, men who killed his son and himself and kill them in order to rest in the afterlife. Ashe, played by Vincent Perez, is a predictable and thoroughly unsympathetic character. He completely overacts the role like the lead in a high school musical, projecting a faux despair that is obnoxious and insulting to any viewer's intelligence. Perez must have studied for the role by watching Brandon Lee multiple times on tape, because he fails to create a new character and instead bungles an imitation of an older one. The rest of the movie's characters become nothing but overexaggerated cartoon characters we've seen in countless other movies. The junkie henchmen, the evil druglord, the tough-yet-vulnerable woman- nothing even slightly original. In fact, the movie's best performance comes not from an actor, but rocker-turned actor Iggy Pop. Granted, Pop is no Marlon Brando, but at least he is semi-believable as a junkie henchman, and a lot more likable than the hero. One of the best things about the first Crow movie was the wit of the main character, which managed to keep the action a little less monotonous and a lot more fun to watch. It's evident that City of Angels tried to duplicate this, through creative line repetition, having Perez repeat something said to him before he was killed as he was killing someone. The first time it worked, but soon it becomes the Please see Crow, p. 7 �The ?nide, Wednesday, SepreabeK 18, 'Girls Town' is casual, comfortable, splendid By ANdiE HE w in Emma: sweet, sobering and socially graceful, yet emotionally awkward yearnPRidE STAff WINTER ing to fly free and unfettered.

Petty from p.6 Petty sings "she'll do anything to make you feel like an a— —e", obviously not a flattering statement, in such a sly way that his true feelings don't come through. Relaxing and listening to the album for the first time, the lyrical content is sometimes disguised. Uncharacteristic of Petty is the instrumental; you see few, if any, on his albums. He includes two, "Hope You Never" and "Airport". "Airport" is Petty's take on piano lounge jazz, and adds new flavor to the typical Petty sound. They are both short and sweet, and nice monotony breakers, serving almost as intermissions from the album's more conventionalsounding songs. From the humor of "Zero From Outer Space" and "Supernatural Radio" to the deadpan cynicism of "Change The Locks" and "Walls", Petty shows us the various sides of his music, yet makes it all sound similar on the surface. Artist like m usic legend and f ellow T raveling Wilbury Bob Dylan sing according to the lyrical content of a song; you can practically taste the feeling in his voice. But Petty prefers to convey a sense of ambiguity, and in many ways that makes his music more fun and accessible. It's not Petty's most serious effort by any means. It's not his best either, but it's n ot trying^ totoe;Miteniiig fe it comes through that all he wanted to do was have fun and make a good album, which is exactly what he does. Tom Petty fans should be pleased Library, Crow from p.6 movie's only source of dialogue. Cfity of Angels means well. Its director, Tim Pope, tries to employ artistic qualities to the film with interesting camera work and the use of a painting to convey mood, much as Bernardo Bertolucci did in Last Tango In Paris. Visually, the movie is interesting, but, like your average supermodel, it's pretty, but it lacks substance. Movie from p.6 somewhat satisfied as the one set of true and good lovers sailed into the sunset in the end. As for the Tom Petty music, the only real song you get to hear is "Even Walls Fall Down." The rest are just little background snippets here and there. My advice is see this movie with your significant other, because you'll leave the theater thinking, "God, isn't our relationship great? We're so lucky." And no it's not a "girl's movie." My boyfriend left the theater saying, ' Hiked $ ffiatlfaoVf^ listen to you more often."

The CSUSM community joined thousands of people around the county to remember the victims and families of those affected by the attacks. Oceanside was one of the cities that held services, including a prayer service at the Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base Chapel, where more than 250 people gathered. Elementary schools and high schools across the district also recognized the day with a moment of silence. State Superintendent Delaine Eastin encouraged schools to observe the moment of silence, calling the day a time "to reflect on our great American heritage." The day was observed not only by people in New York and around the United States, but also around the world. In Rome, Pope John Paul IL took a moment of silence to pray at his home in Castel Condolfo. Queen Elizabeth II, Prime Minister Tony Blair, and thousands of people gathered in and around England's St. Paul's Cathedral for a prayer service. »Article cont on pg 5 Credit Card Marketers to Be Regulated on College Campuses By MELANIE ADDINGTON Pride Editor New legislation to regulate the marketing practices of credit card companies on California's college campuses was signed by California Gov. Gray Davis on Thursday. The legislation will require California State University and the California Community Colleges to adopt policies regulating credit card marketing on campuses. "I think it's appropriate legislation at this point. I agree with Gov. Davis," said CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez. "This bill (AB 521) is necessary to stop aggressive credit card marketing practices aimed at college students. Credit card companies induce college students with no credit history to sign up for cards by offering gifts. Often they provide these students with little or no information about the financial responsi- bilities of owning a credit card," said Gov. Davis. The new policy that each campus governing board is asked to adopt includes several requirements: First, credit card marketing sites must register with campus administration, and the number of sites must be limited. Second, credit card marketers are prohibited from offering gifts to students for filling out credit card applications. Also, campuses must routinely offer credit card and debt education and counseling sessions as part of their campus orientations for new students. In addition, colleges and universities must utilize existing debt education materials prepared by nonprofit entities to avoid the incurring expense of new materials. The bill is not a mandate, but is instead a request for each campus to consider adopting the policy requirements. Each university president will receive the bill information and then "will look at the suggestions and see what can be implemented," according to Colleen BentleyAdler, spokesperson for the CSU Office of the Chancellor. Gonzalez said he feels that marketing abuse does occur with students. He told how his older son, a college student, received a credit card and spent a great »Article cont on pg 5 �The Pride Relief and Rescue Efforts: What People Can Do to Help By JENNIFER HOLMES Pride Staff Writer With the aftermath of Tuesday's terrorist attack on New York and Washington, many people at CSUSM have asked, "What can we do to help?"

The FBI arrested a material witness on Friday in New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, a Justice Department official told NBC news. This is the first official witness detained by the FBI. According to CNN reports, the man was arrested for allegedly possessing a false P resident B ush Visits N ew York By MARTHA SARABIA Pride Staff Writer After declaring Friday a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance, President George W. Bush visited the rubble of the New York World Trade Centers. Other government officials, including New York Gov. George Pataki, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton accompanied President Bush on Friday. There was tight security for the officials, specifically the President. He saluted rescue workers, .police, andfirefighterswho were searching for victims that may have been trapped in the ruins of the Twin Towers. President Bush, using a bullhorn to address the crowd, wrapped his arm - around one of the rescue workers. People who were yelling interrupted him shouting, "We can't hear you." President Bush • immediately replied, "I can hear you. The rest of the world can hear you, and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon." Following those words, the audience began chanting, "U S.A., U.S.A., U.S.A." The President concluded his speech saying, "The nation sends its love and compassion to everybody who's here. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for making the nation proud, and may God bless America." pilot's license. However, a material witness is not necessarily a suspect in a criminal investigation. The designation of "material witness" means that the witness is believed to have highly pertinent information and may be a flight risk, according to NBC reports. The name of this witness, as of Saturday, had not been released. NBC news anchor Pete Williams also reported Friday night that this witness was one of 10 who had been detained Thursday at one of New York's three major airports. FBI investigators said they believe he knows more about the attacks than he has been saying since he was detained, Williams said. Williams also reported in news reports that two men were "We'll get them running, and well bring them to justice." George W. Bush President of U.S.A. arrested Wednesday on suspicion of immigration violations after they had an argument at an Amtrak station in Fort Worth. The men are identified as Ayoub Ali Khan, 51, and Mohammed Jaweed Azmath, 47. When arrested, they were carrying $5,000 in cash in addition to a box cutter, an object believed to be among the weapons hijackers used in Tuesday's attacks. Also, Williams reported that Khan and Azmath boarded a flight from Newark, N.J. to San Antonio, around the' same time of the attacks on Tuesday morning. However, their flight was forced to land in St. Louis when all U.S. flights were grounded after the attacks. From St. Louis they boarded an Amtrak train heading to Texas, where they were detained and interrogated. After being interrogated for two days, they were taken to New York for further investigation of their possible connections to the terrorist attacks. U.S. officials have told NBC that FBI agents are "fairly confident" that these suspects know about the network behind Tuesday's attacks and that it was organized by exiled Saudi millionaire Osama bin Laden. FBI officials told NBC reporters that they presented the. most promising lead developed so far in the investigation. NBC's Jim Popkin reported Saturday that the FBI raided Khan and Azmath's former apartment at 6 Tonelle St. in Jersey City, N.J. Some neighbors said that many people were taken away for questioning, but an FBI spokeswoman told NBC only that at least one person had been detained for interviews with FBI agents in connection with the terrorists' attacks. CNN reported that FBI spokeswoman Sherri Evanina had confirmed that while searching the apartment, agents came across two other individuals who are being questioned. Law enforcement sources told CNN reporters that they believe that the lead group in Tuesday's attacks may have been the Egyptian Islamic Jihad. The chief of this group, the sources said, is a top lieutenant of bin Laden. Bin Laden's group, al Qaeda, is an umbrella group that allegedly coordinates the actions of smaller organizations. The investigation continues not only in the U.S, but also around the world. The FBI said they believe that nine suspects could have or are trying tofleeto Mexico. •MSN.com and CNN.com contributed to this article. in nwhma IF SO A dvertise w i t h T he P t k M ^ weft will m m m b usinesses, ttufes* m » S tudent, s taff % f aculty w ill wee e w e a d iscount e tt aH 3d* C O N T A C T U S @ T HE P R I D E 7 6 0 . 7 5 0 . 6 0 9 9 / 7 6 0 . 7 5 0 . 3 3 4 5 F AX P RIDE@CSUSM.EDU �CSUSM Students Speak out amidst Tragedy By JUSTIN ANDREWS Pride Staff Writer Last Tuesday will make its mark, not only in history, but also in the hearts and minds of all Americans. As we painfully recall images scorched permanently into our memory, we close our eyes and it is almost as if we could project that catastrophic Tuesday in the back of our eyelids. You will remember where you were when you heard. You'll know how you felt. You'll remember walking away from class shocked, mournful, and relieved that you're ok. As you walked to your cars, as you prepared yourself for a life-changing day with your television, I asked you, "What are your thoughts?" Diego Aguillon: I think it's really sad that someone has the heart to do that. You know, I wonder what's going to happen politically as soon as the U.S. finds out who did this. I mean, I wonder what's going to come of, it. And my prayers go to families that lost loved ones and the victims that lost their lives. The Pride: Do you feel safe here? Diego Aguillon: I feel, overall, we're safe, Southern California. My only concern is Miramar Base and Camp Pendleton. I think precautions, now, are being taken to make sure all of us are safe. Overall I think it's a tragedy, all those people had to lose their life. Silvia Alvarado: I personally think that they're laughing at our airport security. There's no way four people could get on an airplane and hijack it without some kind of inside security problem. Recently they were doing this study that a lot of people that work at the airport, like in baggage claim, get background checked. I just think it a failure on our airport security system. The Pride: Do you feel safe here in Southern California? Silvia Alvarado: Yeah I feel safe here because our military is on full alert, and we have the Navy out there. just depends what side you're on.

I mean it II H f Settling in Aix By LAURA HOPKINS For The Pride My room at Les Gazelles awaited me, but before reaching it, I first had to lug my two large suitcases, my laptop and a carry-on bag up a hill, down the stairway, and onto the hot pavement in front of the dorms. The unsightly building and four-square foot cubicle where I laid my bags surely could not have been the room I imagined when I dreamt of student life in Aix, France. The sweltering heat, combined with travel fatigue and the sight of the dorms earmarked for CSU International students caused me to immediately turn around and head for the "centre ville" of Aix-en-Provence. It was there that I found a hotel room with a bathroom and shower, and it was from there that I began my search for the charming picture that had hung for so long in my mind. I arrived in Aix on Aug. 22 as a student participant of the California State University's International Program in Aixen-Provence. The primary objective of this yearlong program, according to CSU International Programs officials, is to "enable participants to gain first-hand knowledge and understanding of other areas of the world." The Aix program includes 56 students from various California State University campuses who attend the Institute d'fetudes Fran^aises pour Etudiants Etrangers (IEFEE), more fondly referred to as the "Institute." I began my four-week preparatory language course on Monday, Sept. 3 at the Institute after taking my language placement test. My class consists mostly of French grammar, and after one week of studies, the wheels are beginning to turn. I'm also taking a conversational practice class, which is probably the most practical, but at the same time, • Everything stopped today at noon for 3 minutes in Aix for a silent moment in memory of those who tost their lives on Tuesday The movement on the streets came to a hault and the only sound heard was the chiming of the church bell.

J h e n there s the housing SSii r an apartment just outside of town that provides me with all the charm I need. It's part of a renovated 18th century home that comes with character and style at noadditional charge. And the sounds of leaves rustling in the wind and cafe conversations along the Cours Mirabeau begin to meld with the Provencal painting hanging in mymind. Addendum: After I wrote this piece, we received the horn fic news of the terrorist attack in the United States. There is great sadness, as well as confusion among the students of the CSU International Program as there is, I'm sure, among those of you at home. There is also heartfelt mourning and concern among the French citizens of Aix. The media coverage is extensive, with cohtinuous broadcasts both on radio and television, The headlines of the local newspaper today, l a Provence,, read, "I'apocalypse," while half of the front page was covered with a photograph of the demolished Twin Towers and the scattered remains. There are frequent references to "horror films" and "science fiction" when describing the images that come our way. Our thoughts, feelings, and speculations run rampant with questions still unanswered, as they must for you at home. �Forum Held for Campus Community in Wake of Terrorist Attack (Above) President Gonzalez (Rf)Student Sean Harris was the first to get up and speak. (Pride Photos/Melanie Addinzton) »Article cont. from pg 1 as the Inter-Varsity and Priority Christian Challenge, were at the service of the students. "We want to be at your service," said Phillips. "We want to be of help." They held a prayer at 11:45 a.m., following the forum. Members of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity also told students that they, along with the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, were handing out black ribbons last week and were organizing a blood drive. M.E.Ch.A (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan), another student organization, also made plans to hold an altar dedication on Wednesday, Sept. 19, in remembrance of the attack victims and their families. David Blasband, director of Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), also addressed the students and told them that CAPS was there to support students. CAPS is located at the San Marcos Ambulatory Care Center 102 and individuals may call (760) 750-4910 for more information about their services. Individuals who attended the forum expressed their feelings not only with words, but also with music. "For me, dealing is processed with music," said Mtafiti Imara, a visual and performing arts professor. "I want to share my feelings in that context." He played a jazz improvisation of "Amazing Grace" on a soprano saxophone for the audience. Other faculty members also spoke, including Vivienne Bennett, chairperson for the Liberal Studies Department. "Our government has, for years, perpetrated crimes against humanity," she said, giving examples of the U.S.'s past relationships with Vietnam and Chile. "But out of adverse circumstances comes opportunity." During the hour-long forum, students argued for and against retaliation by the U.S. "I think we need to react swiftly, quickly, and precisely. I choose to say that as an American," said student Susannah Christopher, who is also a veteran. "I have the right to be angry. We need to stand up for what's right. I don't advocate hatred or violence, but I don't advocate the mass murder of my fellow Americans. We need to do something. We need to act swiftly" Rachel Dena disagreed, "To strike now, swiftly, with anger, is foolish. But if you're going to retaliate, you'd better get the right people." Penny Lanese, a computer science major, said, "The one emotion I didn't have was anger, Credit Card Marketing Changes »Article cont from pg 1 deal of money with it. Gonzalez said that he made his son pay it off and that he learned his lesson. "What happens when a student doesn't learn the lesson?" Gonzalez questioned. Gonzalez said that CSUSM will be looking at the new law and making the decision on what requirements they will consider. "CSUSM will limit stations, and we will let (marketers) know clearly that they can't use instru- ments to get students t o fill out applications," said Gonzalez. The most important part will be to let students know about credit cards and debt education, according t o Gonzalez. "It's the perfect example of caveat emptor, buyer beware," said Gonzalez. Assembly member Paul Koretz, a Democrat from West Hollywood, wrote AB 521. Another bill was presented last year but was vetoed. Koretz said he believed in it and rewrote the bill because, "marketers are preying on college students," according to Sandra DeBourelando, Senior Director for Koretz. DeBourelando said she feels that the marketing approaches are "disingenuous [because theyj try and get students who don't have a job and wouldn't qualify in the real world." Current law regulates credit card marketing practices, but not specifically with college students. because violence begets violence. Once we start hating each other, we're going to start hurting our brother, our friends." Lanese also spoke about the recent bombings in Afghanistan: "There are women there, children there, people who are just as innocent as we are," said Lanese. "If we bomb them, then we're just as bad as the terrorists ... a person is a person, no matter how small." Individuals also spoke, about embracing diversity. One student, who identified herself as a Palestinian-American student, said, "I feel that I'm being targeted now. People there (Palestine) are being killed everyday and people here are getting killed everyday," she said. "It (Palestine) shouldn't be taken back through anger, though, it should be through talking to one another." Jonathan Poullard, Dean of Students, also addressed the students, "I am an advocate of someone that thinks we're inherently connected. Oppression is intermittently interwoven, intercon- nected," he said. "What happens to me will happen to you. We need to think in ways that will promote peace and safety. I think about when that's going to happen again in our country, or when it will happen somewhere else . .. will we have the same reaction then?" Rachel Leigh reflected on the words spoken by the other students and faculty. "Amidst all this anger and hatred, we have the opportunity," she said. "I see this image of a candle, and how a single flame can light all that darkness. We have the opportunity to make that darkness shine. We have the opportunity" After the public finished speaking, Francine Martinez, Vice President of Student Affairs, addressed the crowd. "This is the first time that it's felt like a (campus) community," said Martinez. "We hear different voices, opinions, but there's also that same sadness, shock and fear ... and as you peers have articulately said, we need to be here for each other ... find out what we can do with these intense emotions " National Day of M ourning >>Article cont. from pg 1 In Berlin, more than 2000,0000 people gathered at the Brandenburg Gate in remembrance of those that lost their lives. Although the moment of silence at Cal State San Marcos was observed on a smaller scale, with only about 100 people, some students said they felt that it was a special moment. "The bells started ringing, and more people started joining in the circle," said Melanie Addington, a senior and editor for The Pride. "Everyone stood silently and there was just the wind and t he bells. Many people bowed their heads, some people closed their eyes, and some stood silently looking out. It was staff, faculty, and students together." Afterfiveminutes of silence, Francine Martinez, Vice. President of Student Affairs, asked a student to help her sing "America the Beautiful." "A few students began singing, and then more people began singing with broken voices. It was solemn. Then the song ended, and everyone broke apart and walked back to their buildings," said Addington. "I heard one student say, 'That was amazing, seeing everyone coming together like that.'" 2 MILLION INVESTORS. 80 YEARS' EXPERIENCE. 1 WEIRD NAME.

Through the gruesome test of disaster the human spirit soars to new heights. Witness the selfless acts of rescue workers in New York, the overwhelming benevolence of both private and corporate donors, even the terminally litigious Congress bonding together in agreement to double the sum requested by President Bush for aid. Around the country, even around the globe, people are becoming the support system that will overcome the devastating effects of this disaster. Out of the unimaginable chaos of the recent disasters comes tremendous opportunity to create meaningful change in our country and in our world. This time before us is criti- cal and our response to these events will have consequences far beyond what we can envision f rom where we now stand. If, as President Bush suggests, we are committed to eradicating the horrors of terrorism on a global scale, then we must commit to a response that transcends the tenets of that terrorism. Hate and violence. have spawned the carnage visited upon us, yet it is the solidarity, courage, and generosity of the American public that renders such hate and violence impotent. To avenge these crimes with the same intent that conceived them will only ensure that terrorism will continue in the world. Annihilating one leader or even one segment of a terrorist movement will not in itself end terror; surely history has shown us that. Recent history alone pro_ vides ample evidence of new reincarnations of evil: Stalin, Hitler, Khaddaffi, Hussein and now bin Laden. If we are truly committed to ridding the world of terrorism, we would do well to investigate, ity and justice here and abroad. In continuing to treat perpetrators of terrorism as the disease itself, rather than symptoms of the disease, we will continue to underestimate the power it wields. Have we not repeated that mistake enough already? The temptation to take an eye for an eye as a swift act of vengeance, seemingly justified now, may in the long run leave us all blind. So though we may be temporarily blinded by grief, let us not be blinded by hate. We need each other now more than anything. We need to connect with each other, regardless of race, religion or any other variable. We must cultivate solidarity of the most essential variety: we are all human beings sharing an increasingly shrinking planet. We can be sure that the consequences of global war will be as indiscriminate in their choice of victims as the terrorists were. Let the courage, compassion, and solidarity we have shown thus far define our future. Letter to the Editor Egg Donation Researched In the Sept. 11 issue of The Pride, a letter to the editor by a CSUSM student expressed her concern about an advertisement in the classifieds about the need for egg donors. The ad states "Egg Donors Needed" $4000.00 compensation; Ages 19-30. This prompted me to do a little research on the matter to help educate our readers on this subject.

I walked into my classroom this morning, and found a room full of scared, worried young women. Classes have only barely started for this semester, so my students didn't know me that well yet. As soon as I came in, they asked, "Are you from America?" When I said yes, they asked if I had friends or family in Washington or New York. I told them I had friends in Washington, but they were all right. I said I'd been awake until 3 a.m., to make sure everyone was safe. And then we just sat and talked. Forget the lesson plans, and getting into the meat of the semester. Today wasn't a day for teaching. The quiz, the editing and the research guidelines just didn't matter today. Being a teacher, part of my job is to help my students make sense of the world. Since my students are university age, at that stage where one minute they are mature young adults and the next minute children, I'm here to help guide them as they sort out their worlds for themselves - along with teaching the subject matter in my class description, of course. How can I help them make sense of this when I can't make sense of it myself? I'm in just as much shock as they are. I want someone t o say it's all right, just like they do. Nothing in this is straightforward. All the emotions are complex. Relief that my own family and friends are safe, combined with worry for those whose aren't, or remain unknown. The most striking emotional cocktail of this for me i s the reassurance and heartbreak at how desperately my students want this not to have been done by Arabs. You see, I teach in the Middle East. All those young women who are my students are Arabs. Muslims. I've seen and heard of people in the U.S. saying, "Damn Arabs" or "Damn Muslims" or "Damn Middle Easterners." That, and worse. To some of you, Arabs may be nameless and faceless, counted as suspicious or dangerous. Easy to blame. To me, Arabs are my students and their families. Arabs are as diverse a group as any other. Hating them all would be like hating all Europeans for the atrocities in Kosovo or Serbia. Let me make them less faceless for you. My students are young women. Like university students anywhere, they're worried about grades and exams, about course requirements and majors, and, of course, about juggling their classwork with their social lives. They have dreams and plans, about their careers, about marriage and family, about places they'd like to travel to. They may dress differently than a group of women the same age in the U.S., but underneath the shayla and abaya, they're not very different at all. Today, they're in shock. They're worried about war. They're concerned about their relatives who are in the States. They remember the Gulf War, and they're afraid this will be so much worse. Our university is near an airport. Normally,. they just ignore the planes as they take off and land. Either they pause until the sound has died down, or try to talk over it. Today, they flinched. I've never seen the planes make them nervous before. They're horrified by the attacks on the United States. While they are angry that the U.S. appears to support Israel, they cannot accept what has happened. Letters My students do not celebrate una, iiui uu they take it lightly. They say it is harram - forbidden by religion. The deaths of so many innocents can never be acceptable. Not for any reason. My students are still learning English: They had to struggle, sometimes, to express themselves. They know how to talk about classes and majors. They know the vocabulary for the lives of university students. They don't have the words for the deaths of innocents. I find it tragic. I can no more make sense of this for you, or for myself, than I could for my students. All I can do is pray for the victims, and pray for Peace. Chris Tremlett English Language Center College of Arts and Sciences Zayed University Dubai, UAE Open Heart and Mind In light of the horrible events that been taking place recently, we would like to have one minute of your time. The members of the Sikh community have been getting some strange looks over the past couple of days by people who might not be aware of what their turbans and beards represent. First of all, we belong to the peace loving Sikh religion, which originates in India. We have nothing to do with the Islamic religion or Muslims who live in the Middle East, though we do not look down upon any religion and consider all humanity equal. As far as we know, Muslims in the United States do not even wear turbans. It is not correct to think of a turban wearing Sikh to be a Muslim. Secondly, we encourage all of you to keep an open mind and heart during these troubling times, especially towards American Muslims. Not only are American Muslims suffering as fellow Americans, but they are also becoming the scapegoat in crimes that they 'obviously did not commit, let alone condone. It is especially important for us, as fellow Americans, to not let these, tragic events trigger hatred and racism towards other Americans. The goal of terrorism is to tear a nation apart. Don't let them win. Irrespective of our backgrounds, let us not forget our common homeland and unite as true American patriots during these difficult times. Tuesday, September 18,2001 7 aianu i i u w aiuuciuS could be expected to go to class as if our entire lives have not been irreversibly altered. However, barring the suspension of classes for another day or two, I think it was inappropriate to continue Rush Week activities. As a person affected both as a citizen of this country, and as a relative of a Pentagon worker, I cannot begin to express my utter horror at being forced to listen to music blaring as I walked to classes. To watch people cavorting around as if everything were normal is ridiculous. Really, do you think you were presenting yourselves as the kind of organization people would want to join? If you think the answer is a resounding "yes," think again. While I do not expect everyone on campus to share in my feelings, you should at the very least show some respect for the dead and wounded. I understand the sentiment that terrorists cannot be allowed to halt our daily lives; however, we as a country must be allowed to mourn this great tragedy. You should be ashamed of yourselves and of the image you portrayed today. You are representatives not only of your fraternity, but also of the campus. I am ashamed to call you classmates. I would like to express my sincerest condolences to the friends and family of those who were injured or lost their lives in Tuesday's acts of war. I would also like to express my extreme disgust at those members of one of the fraternities who were back out Wednesday trying to encourage students to rush. While I understand that it is Rush Week, I am disgusted at the lack of common decency that these people displayed. I was actually shocked that school was back in session because I do not under- Brian Kent Cornell Alumni '95 Prayer for O ur Grief Dear Heavenly Father, We are moved by the alarming news and crisis that our country is facing.

Tired American not Willing to Hate For the students, whose minds have historically been open, and whose voices we've historically listened to. I am a tired American today. Tired of hearing 'inescapable conclusions' and that we must 'exact retribution.' Tired of hearing how we can 'emerge triumphant' by striking back in further acts of terrible violence. Tired of the anger in which we wallow, where clear thought might buoy us up. Tired of our unwillingness to understand the 'why' behind such tragedies as Tuesday's events. How far are we willing to go in the misguided path of revenge? How many more times must we submit to hate, and thereby perpetuate violence that does not coincidentally grow worse?\ God Bless America. The only inescapable conclusion after Saanand Singh yesterday's historic tragedy is that many CSUSM Student people will have died in vain if we respond to this injustice with violence. We cannot and must not. To do so would be to continue playing a game that we can never and will never win. To demonstrate To C ampus C ommunity that we are no better than the perpetrators of this horrific event,-except that we are capable of far greater, more calculated swathes of destruction. We cannot guarantee our safety until we finally understand why others would lash out in this way, and help provide them an alternative to doing so in the future. If we must punish, then we must not do so with violence or without understanding. I am a tired American today, yet I will be damned before I spend my remaining energy standing 'united' in the solidarity of further violence. I love this country, but I do not love it enough that I am willing to hate for it.

While we at Cal State San Marcos are far away from what occurred, we still feel not only the pain but also the sense of shock and violation that has taken place. As a University community, we need to take the time not only to reflect on those who have lost their lives and those who continue to suffer, but also on what is our proper role and how we should respond to these horrendous actions. It is my hope that we will resolve to continue to live as a community governed by law with a clear sense of justice and equality, and that we not generalize the actions of a few to the many. We must be thoughtful and prudent, and while the history of our country will change forever, we must continue to live and operate as the great nation we have always been. It is up to each one of us to reflect on what these tragic events mean to us individually and how we will cope with them. As a community, the University will make available opportunities for discussion and reflection. It is also my hope that the faculty and staff will take the time to interact with students to discuss and attempt to resolve the meaning of the events and our place individually, and collectively, as we attempt to work through the current crisis and into the future. Americans must Put aside Their Differences By DUSTIN NAYLOR Pride Staff Writer On Sept 11,2001,1 realized the ills of the world have fallen on my American family. This is the day terrorists attacked the World Trade Towers, the Pentagon, and two other targets destined for devastation. A slap in the face is what I would like to call it. A total disregard for human life is what others say. I would hope that I could call this a wake-up call for the United States, but this disease that has plagued my 24-year history on this planet will not seem to go away, arid it is getting worse. T hroughout the 80s I remember learning about terrorism. Where else could I learn about terrorists but in the news? The two decades of coverage of car bombs, suicide missions and Embassy disasters gave me insight into the minds of people who really don't like us at all. Our national media eats this news up and regurgitates it to the American public as to make sense of it all, explaining failed foreign policy, attempting to sway the American public into believing We are safe from these monsters, all the while feeding us images we don't want to look at, but all the while the television remains on. Through out households, restaurants, bars and department stores, we, as Americans, are feeling the painful reality of our freedom. My mind races on of what to think of this whole situation. And as the television bombards my head with the images, the angles, the rubble, the people, I wonder what will , happen. Are we going to war? Are we as vulnerable as the incident shows? A mi ever going to ride or feel safe in an airplane again? The list goes on and on. Thousands upon thousands of questions will be asked, with few or no answers. But we, as Americans, must unite. This wasn't an attack on the president, a religious group or certain race, it was an attack on our personal liberty. The individual freedom we as Americans all share, cherish and absorb into our way of life. Americans must come together, put aside their differences and anguishes to help support the families of those who lost their lives, to help answer the questions so many of us are faced with, and to protect our way of living in the United States. "We, as Americans, are feeling the painful reality of our freedom" Opinion — — — — A N ation u nder A ttack By ZACHARY A. PUGH For The Pride As a new day began on Tuesday, Sept. 11, the citizens of this nation were not prepared for what was to be the most horrendous and malicious series of terrorist attacks in the history of Amer- ica. Never has there been a terrorist attack of this magnitude on American soil. This day will be another "Day of Infamy" that will haunt America and the world. We will live with these macabre pictures of human suffering and anguish until the end of time. We, as Citizens of this nation, hope that the swift hand of justice will prevail and that the devils that have scarred our . minds and destroyed many precious lives will be brought to justice. Jewish Voice f or Peace G roup S peak O ut A Jewish Voice for Peace is shocked and outraged by the events that have taken place in the United States this week. As Jews, as Americans, and as peace activists we condemn, in the strongest possible terms, these murderous acts and hope that those, who carried out these vicious attacks on innocent people are brought to justice. We share in the collective sense of grief and mourning, and offer the deepest sympathy for all those affected, seme of whom are surely among us. Our thoughts and our prayers are with the victims, their families, and their loved ones. . At this point, people are rightly struggling to comprehend these events, and to understand how such a tragedy could occur. Under these circumstances, it is essential to be both thoughtful and just in our reactions. Terrorist attacks occurring on American soil often arouse anti-Arab and anti-Muslim sentiment. It is simply not tolerable that an entire ethnic group, nation, or religion be blamed for actions carried out by individuals. As Jews we understand the scapegoating Teaction only too well because it has been done to our people in the .past, and it is not acceptable to us that i t be done to any other group/The individuals responsible, but only those responsible, should and must be brought swiftly and decisively to justice. We urge our government not to compound this tragedy by causing the deaths of more innocent people in its pursuit of those responsible. We call on our fellow citizens not to allow our righteous rage over this horrific act to lead u s'into collective blame and acts of ethnic or religious hatred. A Jewish Voice for Peace was born of the conviction that violence begets violence. It is the mission of our organization/ and the passion of many of its members, to support and work towards lasting and equitable peace and justice as the best way to prevent atrocities such as those we have witnessed today. In light of today's events, all of us engaged in the pursuit of peace and justice must redouble our efforts. Adam Gutride Sara Norman Mitchell Plitnick Lincoln Shlensky Alistair Welch man of A Jewish Voice for Peace Open Your Eyes, not Your Mouth Editors' Note: The Pride changed the word "article" to "opinion piece " to clarify. "Students Respond Differently To Tragedy" was an opinion piece written by section editors of The Pride and is in no way legally slanderous, but merely two students' opinions. The same with this editorial and any and all other pieces that appear on the "Opinion" page. By JARED HINES Frater of Tau Kappa Epsilon In response to a slandering opinion piece written in The Pride's latest special edition, I would like to supply The Pride editors with the truthful information needed to write their latest erroneous article: "Students Respond Differently to Tragedy." The members of both fraternities on campus, Tau Kappa Epsilon and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, were shocked and disappointed with the comments made in one of The Pride's articles following the tragedies that occurred in New York, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania. The members of these fraternal organizations were portrayed as self- centeredegotist concerned only with how loud they could play their "vulgar" music in a display of macho competition. This is, of course, completely false and an ignorant opinion from two people who obviously did not take the time to observe the true events that transpired on that catastrophic I\iesday. If time would have been taken to better observe the actions of the fraternities, it would have been apparent to the authors of this poorly written opinion to see that both, TKE and SAE, came together to discuss the situation and comfort those in need. As far as our self-centered efforts and "showing o ff" as opposed to the other clubs, I would like to share a few insights. Our music is radio compliant, not "vulgar". The volume was lowered in respect. The flag that was reported in this recent media twist, flying at half-mast by the way, was placed at the TKE booth by one of our officers. Both fraternities respectfully and considerately distributed black ribbons. Within minutes of pinning these badges of American mourning on our chests, hundreds of fellow students came to join in the symbolic expression of our deep pain. Finally, when the campus was closed, the DJ at the TKE booth used the speakers to announce the cancellation of classes. There also remain many key factors that the opinion peice left out. SAE and TKE have joined forces by arranging a Greek blood drive. Another officer has taken steps to raise funds to send over as disaster relief. Within organizations o f our size, it is nearly impossible to have not one person affected by the terrorist attacks. In fact, the members of TKE have family, friends and alumni who either live in New York or work at the Pentagon. We also have members that were placed on call due to their status in the US military. However, like the other cl^bs at CSU San Marcos, we remained on campus, but constantly had somebody inside of Commons 206 to update everyone in our section of the quad on any breaking news. It is a wonder to me why these two authors would even think to print a piece that only furthers bad feelings considering the effect that this disaster has already had on all students. The Pride seems to have a history of attacking the Greek system, w d it is in poor taste t o use these terrorist attacks as another instrument of this vendetta. The motivation of the fraternities was to unite students; Greek and NonGreek, in a casual atmosphere so that all could be consoled and feel free to express their individual opinions. However, out of every opinion I heard, not one student went so far as to slander another student, or for that part a fellow American. I ask all students to keep the victims of these horrific events in their thoughts and prayers, and not use this time to point fingers, but to reflect on how valuable life really is. �wfr DON Visit rr 1 O T T T T 1? o Hi 1 1 -Li Hi w I7AP r Ull SignOnSanDiego.com A A THP JUB powered THAT 1tlAl by the fl H F C TT T V UUriOJN 1 Union-Tribune.

SfgnOllSailDiegOXOm �First Season Game for Mens Soccer By MARTHA SARABIA Pride Staff Writer The men's soccer team had its first game of the season on Mangrum Field on Sunday morning against CSU Long Beach. "The players had been practicing consistently for four weeks now to get ready for this game," said Coach Khalid Al-shafie. Although the team was defeated by CSU Long Beach, 1-5, the coach and soccer players said they believe in their potential and hope to do a good job this season. "We will play hard and play good soccer,99 said soccer captain Joseph Cafiero, a junior majoring in biology. "The strengths of the team are their commitment to playing hard, and it seems that the players enjoy each other," said Al-shafie. He said that he does not see any weaknesses on the team. The players agreed with the coach. "We have good players and there is a lot of potential. I hope we do a good job and we win," said Manuel Maldonado, a sophomore, majoring in computer science. This season the men's soccer team will play against "tough schools," as Al-shafie described them, including UC Santa Editing Services Specialist in Master s Theses and Doctoral Dissertations All Style Manuals and Disciplines Word Processing § Manuscripts § Letters § Proofreading Michel M. Walker Phone/Fax (760) 4 80-6470 kiewamal8@home.com Barbara and Utah State. These schools, as well as Cal State San Marcos, are playing in a league known as the National Intramural Recreation Sports Association (NIRSA). "We are trying to develop a good team and have a good season," said Al-shafie. "We want to represent CSUSM and ASI the best we can." ASI (Associated Students, Inc) sponsors soccer, one of the intramural sports on campus. Right now the team has 16 players. However, Al-shafie said he believes that the team will continue to grow and encourages more students to enroll. "It's fun. At least we have some sports at Cal State San Marcos and I hope that more sport teams will be formed," said Maldonado. The next soccer game is Friday against Pepperdine University at 4 p.m., followed by another game on Saturday at Mangrum Field at 4 p.m. against Utah State, according to Cafiero and Al-shafie. "Of course we hope to win, although it is not going to be easy, we expect to win," said Cafiero, "We also encourage students to come support the team at the games."

Student Profile: Lending a Hand in El Salvador and Home By VICTORIA B. SEGALL Pride Editor Thanks to the donations from students, clubs, and staff at Cal State San Marcos, Anna Fleming, a 21-year-old junior, brought .sfniles to the tiny faces of hundreds of school children in El Salvador this past summer. With more than 250 bags of school supplies, Fleming flew to Santa Tecla, a suburb of San Salvador that was hit by a 7.6 earthquake Jan. 13,2001. Several hundred aftershocks caused a major landslide in Santa Tecla. More than 1,159 people died from the quakes, 8,122 were injured, 185,338 homes were damaged, and 149,528 were homes destroyed, according to El Salvador's National Emergency Committee (COEN). "The landslides took out both the homes and the people in them," said Fleming, a liberal studies major. "There's now a camp for the people who are homeless." The bags Fleming brought Anna Fleming in Santa Tecla, El Salvador last summer. She took school supplies to the children after the earthquakes devastated the community. (Courtesy Photo/Anna Fleming) from the U.S. were filled with supplies donated by the CSUSM community and the service organization, Kiwanis. Fleming personally handed out individual bags to the school children in the camps at Santa Tecla, which are tents that house temporary medical clinics and school for the residents of the town. The camp in Santa Tecla houses more than 400 families. "There are problems everywhere, in your backyard, internationally," said Fleming. "To open your eyes to that makes you realize that there are needs all over that need to be m et" Such community (or international)-service work is not new to Fleming, who is president of the university's Circle K International Club, a community-service based club that primarily works with children. This year the club will hold their annual Angel Tree Drive, a toy drive for children during the winter holiday. "Joining this club was an opportunity for me to meet people," said Fleming. "It wasn't specific like a lot of other groups are. It's people from other cultures and majors." In addition to her club leader position, Fleming also works as a support staff person for the faculty-mentoring program. When asked how she handles the juggle of school, work, and other activities, Fleming said, "It is hard, this time of the year. We're busy starting out with new classes, jobs, trying to recruit for Circle K, or other clubs, but you can choose to limit how involved you are. You can still be in a club or work, and not commit too many hours. But I definitely encourage others to get involved in student life." Fleming also talked about the support for clubs on campus. "I could see more support for clubs," she said. "There seems to be a good amount of support for fraternities, but there could be more outreach." Although Fleming said she is not sure what she will do after she graduates, she said she has an idea of what she wants to do at the moment, "If I can find so many things to get involved with at school, it shouldn't be hard for me to figure out what I can do with the rest of my life."

Past discussion ofraises came in response to annual studies conducted by the California Postsecondary Education Commission (CPEC). According to Paul Brown- ing, a representative f rom the Chancellor's Office, "CPEC doesn't do the executive studies anymore." As a result, Chancellor Reed plans to pitch the proposed compensation increase on the basis of data f rom a private firm that the Chancellor's office commissioned to study salary comparisons. However, issues with the reliability and credibility of his proposal may provide a dilemma for the Board of Trustees. Traditionally, CPEC conducted studies on executive and faculty salaries with the support of the CSU, UC, and various government agencies. While CPEC continues to conduct faculty salary studies, it recently halted its studies on executive salaries in response to self-evaluations that suggest the methodology in their studies is outdated and incomplete. In a report released in March 2007, CPEC concluded that executive salary studies were substantially incomplete because they could not "obtain perquisite and benefit information f rom the [CSU and UC] systems."

Cross country at Aztec Invitational BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer Photo by David Church / The Pride CSUSM cross country runners Patrick Fitzgerald and Kyle Fox at the Aztec Invitational Saturday, Sept. 15. The CSUSM Cross Country Cougars competed in the 63rd Annual Aztec Invitational at Balboa Park on Saturday, Sept. 15. The runners were up to the challenge as they were r unning the toughest course they would compete in this season. "This course is much harder than last week," said Coach Steve Scott. "This course makes last week's course look relatively flat." But the women's team was up for the challenge. Last year, the women's team had two members cross the finish line under 20 minutes. This year the wom- en's team put six across. Morgan Sjorgren led the team with an 18:51 and finished 23rd overall -1:03 ahead of last year's time. Jessica Sandoval finished 32nd with a time of 19:04. Sandoval was followed by Whitney Patton with a time of 19:08 and finished 35th. Joy Leon went on to r un a 19:30 and finished 45th, while teammate Kristen Simek finished the scoring with a time of 19:41. Lindsey McKown finished three seconds under the 20 minute mark. "Despite the women's team finishing 8th overall and the men finishing 6th, the women's team had a better day overall," said Scott.

Lisa Dickenson, coordinator at the CSUSM Fitness and Wellness Center, spoke for the event giving students tips on how to eat healthy on a budget. Dickenson suggests that students shop together with roommates to help ease the budget pain. She also encourages reducing serving portions. Saving time and money by planning meals for the week makes healthy eating much easier. An important part of healthy eating involves shopping wisely, which means finding the right store for your preferences that can save you money on the items that you enjoy. Dickenson advises that a balance between density verses quantity is also key, as density in a meal will stabilize blood sugar throughout the day. THE PRIDE tially move up the pay grade from week.

BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer The Chargers came into Sunday's game in New England fresh o ff of a season-opening 14-3 victory over the Chicago Bears in one of the most anticipated games of week one - a game in which LaDainian Tomlinson both passed and rushed for touchdowns. The Chargers hoped to c arry the momentum across the country to New England, where they faced a Patriots team in the midst of a sideline spying scandal that put them back $250,000 and took away what will likely be a first round d raft pick. The Patriots, anchored by star Quarterback, Tom Brady, did damage early in the game, when Brady connected with Tight End, Benjamin Watson to take a 7-0 lead on the opening drive. On the first play of the ensuing possession, Chargers Quarterback, Philip Rivers showed early signs of weakness, throwing an interception to Patriots Line Backer, Rosevelt Colvin.

I i �A quick guide inside W ith R ush W eek u nderway, T he P ride h ighlights p articipating G reek o rganizations BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer Unless you are already a member of a sorority or fraternity, the whole Greek concept may be as confusing as the symbols that represent them. With rush week upon us, it could be beneficial to learn a little bit about what it means to be Greek. More specifically, what is Greek life on campus all about? Most sororities and fraternities are national organizations that consist of individual chapters within different schools. The chapters often have an additional name to distinguish their members from the national society. For example, Alpha Chi Omega sisters at Cal State San Marcos are members of the Iota Tau chapter within the national sorority. Cal State San Marcos currently recognizes five Greek chapters. Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Xi Delta and Alpha Pi Sigma are the three sororities on campus. Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Zeta Beta Tau are the two fraternities. "But what do these names mean?" you might ask. If you • don't know about the Greek system already, your opinion about Greek life could rely primarily on commonly fed stereotypes. "It's different at a smaller campus. We are not SDSU. It's more about making friends and helping the community," said Khristina Cook, an Alpha Chi Omega sister. "Being a part of a sorority or fraternity gives you an automatic support system that will do nothing but benefit your time here on campus." Originally founded on October 15,1885, Alpha Chi Omega is one of the oldest and largest sororities in the country. On March 18, 1995, Cal State San Marcos founded the Iota Tau chapter of the national sisterhood. The purpose of Alpha Chi Omega is to provide the advancement of the intellectual, social and moral culture of its members. Their philanthropic cause is to help victims of domestic violence. Hidden Valley House and Casa De Amparo are just a few organizations the Iota Tau sisters contribute to. Some major campus events include the Carnation Carnival and Mr. Alpha Chi. In 1893, ten young women at Lombard College in Galesburg, Illinois formed Alpha Xi Delta. The sorority's purpose is to inspire women to realize their potential. Alpha Xi Delta founded Theta Rho chapter at Cal State San Marcos in February of 1995. The Alpha Xi Delta philanthropic cause is called Choose Children. "Last week we held a donation based car wash for a 2 year old boy named Tanner with Muscular Dystrophy. Our goal was to reach $1, 000.00 and we did!" said Alpha Xi Delta president, Erin Maddox. "In fact, we even went a little over." Currently, the Theta Rho chapter has 41 members. The sorority encourages its sisters to involve themselves in other activities on campus as well as maintain excellent academic standing. Their rush week begins with a picnic and ends with a jungle theme. Founded on March 10, 1990, at San Diego State University, Alpha Pi Sigma is a relatively Photo by Jackie Carbajal / The Pride CSUSM Greek organizations seek out new recruits as the campus braces for Rush Week. new sorority. It has six chapters in California. Alpha Pi Sigma is Latina based although it is important to note that the sorority is not exclusive to Latinas. Everyone is welcome to join. On campus, there are currently six members which makes rush week an important opportunity for this new chapter to grow. "We look forward on expanding this semester," said Alpha Pi Sigma president, Araceli Archuleta. "During these special events we hope to get to know potential new members." Alpha Pi Sigma's primary philanthropic causes consist of working within the Latino community and breast cancer awareness. They are participating in the "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk" on October 21st. Sigma Alpha Epsilon is the largest fraternity on campus as well as nationally. Sigma Alpha Epsilon has more than 8,200 undergraduates at more than 250 chapters in 48 states. The brotherhood participates in a variety of athletic activities and even finds a way to incorporate a love of sports with an eagerness to help others. The fraternity hosted a dodgeball fundraiser earning $1000 to the Children's Miracle Network. Other philanthropic projects include the Relay for Life Cancer Walk. "We won intramural championships last year in dodgeball and football." Said Sigma Alpha Epsilon president, Shawn McKechnie. This past Thursday, Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) hosted a toga party following the home soccer game. During rush week, SAE will host various events including a co-ed kickball game, poker & barbeque night, and a competition night of air hockey, darts, pool, and video games. The newest chapter to Cal State San Marcos is Zeta Beta Tau. While the fraternity is just getting its start here on campus, it has high hopes for the upcoming semester. "What sets us apart is that we are a non-pledging fraternity." Said vice president, Brandon Jakobovich. Nationally, Zeta Beta Tau is the oldest and largest historically Jewish fraternity. Philanthropic projects the fraternity participates in are CHOC walk, car wash fundraisers, and blood drives. Zeta Beta Tau prides itself on providing a safe environment for its brothers that focuses on academic excellence as well as a positive social network. Each Greek chapter offers something different to Cal State San Marcos but they all share a common theme: unity. The terms "sorority" and "fraternity" derive from Latin words meaning "sister" and "brother." For any students looking for life long bonds and a place to belong, becoming Greek may just be the right way to go—no chromosomal adjustment necessary.

Since the majority of transfer students do not live on campus, belonging to a club or school organization is one of the best ways to meet new people. One organization that stood out to Lawler was the O Team. "I did something similar to it in high school and really enjoyed it," she said. No matter how each student ended up at CSUSM, everyone has the same common goal: graduation. And for transfer students, that is definitely something to smile about. " That's the best part about being able to transfer to a university out of community college," said Martinez. "It doesn't matter where you came f rom as long as you graduate." The best way to feel comfortable in a new surrounding is also the easiest. Simply t urn to the person sitting next to you and introduce yourself.

Church's Influence on Sports The "juice" is back BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer This past Sunday, Sept. 16, O.J. "The Juice" Simpson was arrested once again. This time he was caught trying to steal memorabilia from a hotel room in Las Vegas. O.J. is now facing three felony charges, one of which is robbery. Once again, O.J. finds himself in tough times as he faces a serious charge. These charges are nothing like the double murder charges he faced in 1995 when he was found not guilty despite a large amount of evidence against him. O.J. is going to have a tougher time defending himself, as the "if the glove don't fit, you must acquit" line won't be working this time. The evidence is already looking bad for O. J., as there is audio with his voice already being identified by experts. Also the eyewitnesses whom he was trying to accuse of stealing his stuff and selling it, have already described O.J. and his men coming into the room with guns not letting anyone out of the room. O.J. will not get the benefit of having a trial in his home territory of Los Angeles, where he played his entire college football career for USC as well as made several Top Gun movies playing the brain-dead character Nordberg. My question is, was O.J. really acting? He obviously has no sense of integrity as he allowed someone to brainwash him into thinking that someone had stolen his stuff. Which police have said he owned at one point, but most likely did not own at that time. This is also the guy who has filed bankruptcy and has seen his name put into shame as he is no longer remembered as the great football player he was. He is now known as the guy who tried to sell his book, "If I Did It" and escaped a double murder charge. Since he had tried to sell the book, he has loss the rights to it because ofhis bankruptcy. The rights were then handed over to the Goldman family who renamed it, "If I Did It: The Confessions of the Killer." They released the book last week and plenty of senseless readers have purchased the book making it the #1 book on Amazon. Still this arrest comes too late for the Goldman family and the Brown family. Where they might get the benefit by receiving a good sum of money for publishing the book written by O.J, they still do not have any justice from their sons death. As for O.J., he does rfbt have the money he once had, although I do not think that will stop him from getting someone from Johnnie Cochran's team to try to get him off if not another expert who will tell him to have difficulties putting his finger on the trigger of the gun. I do not see how O.J. is walking out of this one, unless he had a double that was playing the penny slot machines at the MGM Grand and it just so happened a security camera caught him at the slot machines at the time of the robbery. But more likely, O.J. is going away for a couple of years.

The performance gave students on campus the opportunity to learn about African American culture through music. Yewande (e-wan-day) Austin, an urban rock artist who has performed in various colleges and universities around the world, introduced students who attended the event to a different view of music. She believes music is about meaning and expression, not just about billboards and fame. This inspired many attendees to think more intensely about changing the way popular culture is leading music. "I am very happy to learn that there are still great artists out there, not just a sell out," said student Gina Rothermel. Students also learned about slavery and its influence in the world of music. Hip hop and the blues are just two examples of the influenced genres. Although popular a long time after slavery ended, there are many ties to slavery in this type of music. According to Austin it all comes from the "Negro Spiritual." "The negro spiritual was a creative way for salves to communicate with each other and express themselves without being punished or killed for doing so," said Austin. This form of communication was passed from generation to generation and each had a new way of doing it. Hip-hop for example is a mixture of jazz, blues, gospel, and earlier forms of African-American music. Not only was this event educational, but it was f un. Throughout the show Yewande had the audience singing and clapping. Members of the audience were even brought up front to serve as a temporary chorus for Austin, including the event coordinator Mrs. Shirley Robinson. Austin had everyone amazed with her music and her passion. At the end of the show, the audience was allowed to ask questions and one of the questions, which got all of the audience attention was, why such a talented artist prefers to perform a show to educate students rather than be on billboards and popular talk shows? Austin explained that success is different to everyone. BY JONATHAN THOMPSON The pilsner lager pours Pride Staff Writer smooth with almost no head.

She is an amazing artist and lecturer. This is definitely an experience everyone deserves to have. Her advice to her public she said is "to embrace life, embrace fear, and rise above challenges". The audience loved her not just because of her talent but because she is sincere and loves what she does. She made it clear that she's into this business because it is what she truly loves doing.

Photo by Toria Savey / The Pride Penny Lane BY BREANNE CAMPOS Pride Staff Writer My job this week was to find a restaurant that would suit students from San Marcos's restaurant that values the dollar while still creating a f un atmosphere for dining. Well, luckily for CSUSM students, I found one. Penny Lane is a Beatles/ London themed restaurant located in San Marcos, right across the street from Restaurant Row. From the university, it isfiveto seven minutes away, depending on traffic and the time of day. The easiest way to get to the restaurant would be to drive, but you can get there by foot. The prices are reasonable, and every entrée on the menu is under $20.00. The staff is very friendly and always caters to your needs. If you go between the hours of 4 p.m. and- 7 p.m. on weekdays, Penny Lane has Happy Hour specials including $2.99 appetizers. They also have Karaoke Night on Tuesday from 7 p.m.10 p.m. Penny lane is open until 2 a.m. everyday, which is perfect for students 21 and older. For the younger crowd, go enjoy dinner with classic rock music as your background. What I have yet to tell you readers is that Penny Lane has wireless internet throughout the restaurant. Which means when fall and winter come around, you can go and have a homemade dinner while studying in a London pub; it could be your own vacation for two hours. Now the tricky question is: "Who would I go with to Penny Lane?" From my experience, I believe it would be best to go with friends. All the tables have a minimum of three seats, and how romantic is it when you have an empty seat at your table? I have done my part to give you, the reader, a sample of what Penny Lane has to offer. So if you want to escape or fly away for the day, what better way then tcfhead off to London to eat and drink at Penny Lane? � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Photo By: David Ruiz By: Kathleen Hash Pride Staff Writer By: Giovanni Ferrer Pride Staff Writer ; C SUSM S tudents to Vote on Student Union As student enrollment has increased, so has the need for more parking, Research studies, involving parking and enrollment, have been conducted at other California State Universities, and were used as a measuring tool to reflect the needs of CSUSM. One temporary solution this semester was stack parking. Many students feel that it has been a success, but worry that it is ending this week. Yesenia Castro used stack parking the first week of the semester and said "I felt a little worried about using it at first, but after parking a few times I became comfortable" She had heard other people express t heir fears upon getting items removed without their knowledge. She became reassured one day, when she found that she had left her checkbook in her car and nothing was touched. CSUSM In addition, Parking Services painted roughly sixty more stalls as a temporary solution to help alleviate some of the drudgery of parking. Do students really need a $7.4 million Student Union? The University Student Union Advisory Board (USUAB) thinks we do and they are asking students to help pay for it. Full time students at CSUSM • currently pay $20 per semester in student fees, while part time students pay only $10. On October 9 and 10 students will have the opportunity to vote on whether or not they are willing to increase their student fees to $50 (for full and part time students). The increase would take effect in Fall 2001 to help pay for the proposed building. I f the Student Union Fee According to Andy Schick, Parking Services, the 60 new stalls P a i n t e d i n parking lot " C" were the direct result of increased enrollment; contrary to rumor that it was due to frequent car accidents. Other parking changes include thirty minute parking, now located parking lot "E" in front of University Commons. Thirty minute parking was removed from parkin l o t g " c " t o m a l c e way for additional regular parking. from Stack Parking set to end Friday, September 22, but the number of students parking is not decreasing.

The planned facility includes a gymnasium, a weight/exercise room, men's and women's locker rooms and a sports medicine facility. Conference rooms, student government offices and club meeting rooms are also a part of the proposed project. President Alex Gonzalez addressed A.S.I. at Friday's board meeting in an attempt to get ASI's blessing. ASI members seemed confident that their support would increase the referendum's chances of passing. "We need desperately a place for students to congregate," said President Gonzalez, "what we have here is a positive opportunity to build a Student Union." Hesitant to support the referendum at first, A.S.I, quickly turned the discussion to their concerns on future rent and utilities. Robin Milch, A.S.I. Executive Vice President of External Affairs, told the president "So far, the information given to ASI has been inaccurate." Milch wanted assurance from Gonzalez that A.S.I, would not end up "...getting burned with rent." A.S.I. was also concerned that not many students seemed to know about the referendum. In the end, however, A.S.I, voted unanimously to support the referendum. » Continued on Page 2 On Wednesday, September 20 starting 10:30am, California State University San Marcos is, once again, hosting its Health & Wellness Fair. The theme for this year's fair is "Got Health?" This year the fair boasts over 24 different organizations promoting fitness and healthy lifestyles. The organizations will be handing out samples, information, and loads of f ree advice. The fair will take place in CSUSM's very own Palm Court. A list of participant include, CSUSM Human Resources, Associated Students, Inc., Student Health Services, Counseling and Psychology Services. Also represented are the Back and Neck Pain Relief Center, Escondido Community Health Center, 24-Hour Fitness, San Diego's Blood Bank, Red Cross Blood Services, Arrowhead Mountain Spring Water, Kaiser Permanente, North County Health Services, Delta Dental, and others. This is the first year that the Health and Wellness Fair will be available to students. For more information about the Health & Wellness Fair, contact Yasuko Shirakawa at (760)750-4425. C SU B oard of T rustees A pproves L owering G raduation R equirements By: Jayne Braman Pride Staff This past July the CSU Board of Trustees approved lowering the minimum graduation requirement from 124 to 120 units. In a press release from CSU, Chancellor Charles Reed states that "This revision will help students graduate sooner. The new requirements are consistent with most universities in the nation and just make sense." Based on a normal course load of 15 units per semester, the 124-unit requirement leaves students in a four-year program, four units short of graduation. With implementation of the 120-unit requirement, Trustee Ralph Pesqueira believes that this policy will make it easier for students to graduate in fours years Or possibly even three years by attending school year round. Before celebrating, CSUSM students need to be aware that the lowering of units for graduation is a baseline from which all majors build upon. Many majors will still require more than the minimum 120 units required for graduation. Every academic program is reviewed on a five-year cycle. The review process allows departments to evaluate the number of units required in keeping students competitive not only with the demands of the job market, but also with students graduating from other universities in the same field. The fiveyear evaluation process means that gradual implementation of the 120-unit requirement will most likely not affect current students in the system. CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez stated "that majors exceeding the 120 unit minimum require approval before they can be implemented." Gonzalez went on to state that accountability of unit requirements is based on the fact that the CSU strives for a balance between training for the work force and educating wellrounded citizens.

However, as San Marcos resident and city council h opeful, Mike Sannella says, the most important decisions a re the ones being m ade in your local community. " I j oined t his race because I have the desire t o help build a healthy community," said Sannella. "My w ife and I are both four-year residents and alumnus of Cal State San Marcos.

A s November nears and the council race heats up, Sannella keeps h is cool character and h is message simple: San Marcos is one of San Diego's fastest growing communities and it needs a city council that will allow it t o continue to grow responsibly and correctly.

The plan that Sannella refers t o is a set of pro-growth ideals that he intends to apply in San Marcos if elected.

" I am going to make it my top priority t o address t he t raffic issues w ithin our community," said Sannella. "Widening the roads would b e the most obvious option, however, that can't always b e done. Other options include encouraging carpooling, building more bike lanes and encouraging city b us use." The second area of concern for Sannella is San M arcos' stance on business. Realizing t he t ax base that retail provides, the candidate says that he will encourage prosperity by welcoming the addition of planned retail shops and centers.

This is only a $30 increase per semester, which, for me, is a huge decrease." Susanne Green, Executive Director of the USUAB, who also spoke to A.S.I., is hoping that students will take the initiative t o f ind out more about the referendum. The USUAB -has posted a link on CSUSM's homepage under the Events and Announcements section where students can get detailed information on t he referendum and the planned building.

" Our university breeds diversity which is healthy for the community, and its p resence w ill help shape the f uture of g rowth in San Marcos." San M arcos' rapid g rowth has become a m ajor issue i n the eyes of some people (including opponent Cynthia Skovgard w ho is also r unning f or City Council) who feel that t he city is faf past the point of calling the development responsible growth. If elected, these individuals that they would limit or halt growth in San Marcos by the passage of specific propositions, including Prop.

Another open f orum meeting is planned for September 21, at 11:45am in the f ree speech area located between Science and Academic Halls. Harrod hopes that the sun won't keep people away f rom the discussion of how they want t heir f unds to b e s pent."Students are paying these fees a nd this gives u s a chance to give them something tangible," says Harrod. CSUSM student T iffany Slocomb felt the facility would b e an important addition to the school, " I would vote yes because I really want to see this school grow."

Mike Sannella W hile C alifornia residents f ind themselves facing Governor Gray Davis' deferred utility payment solution, f laws in California's energy deregulation system were investigated last week in San Diego during two federal hearings. Although no f irm conclusions have emerged f rom the hearings, other than the realization that residents are indeed paying too much for electricity (utility bills doubled and t ripled), there were a number of f ingers pointed: at SDG&E for not seeking the most a ffordable prices for consumers, at the Public Utilities Commission for not allowing SDG&E t o sign cheaper, long-term contract with suppliers, at suppliers for taking advantage of a f lawed and f ledging de-regulated energy purchasing system, and at the state's deregulation law itself, including the state legislators who-passed it. Investigations are still in progress. Meanwhile, the new proposition to r un high-voltage transmission power lines f rom Riverside county to San Diego county to compensate for the period of energy shortage before new generators are completed was p roposed b y SDG&E and the state's top-power managing agency (ISO). The plan would cost h undreds of millions of dollars and incur other environmental, residential, and aesthetic costs that have consumer groups, environmental regulators, and area o fficials and residents protesting and demanding to see proof that t his is the most effective solution. The high cost of living continues to beset residents at home, work, and now on the road. Recent rising gasoline p rices show no signs o f abating. Some attention has b een d eflected f rom deregulation t o international gasoline issues including OPEC production and the recent f uel crises in Europe. Local f uel averages are at $1.85 per gallon, among the highest in the country.

Cara Rumble, who placed 30th, was one second behind Garritson, and was followed by MacDonald who was in the 38th spot. While the women's team trailed a bit, they also finished ahead of some good schools including USC, UCSD, Long Beach State, and Cal State Fullerton. The men's team, winners of last year's Aztec Invitational in the "Open Division," found that running in the "Invitational Division" was a much tougher task. By the time the men began the last race of the morning, the heat had. definitely become a factor in their performance. Scott cautioned his runners to abbreviate their normal warmup routine and to stay in the shade until race time. Brian Sullivan led the young squad in a race that ended with James Adams nearly collapsing f rom heat exhaustion. There were wet spots along the course, and by the time the men ran the fourth race, the footing became unstable in some areas along the course. This made for generally slow times for all the competitors. Sullivan came in 18th place with a time of 26 minutes and 50.5 seconds, followed by Adams in 44th place and Marcus Chandler in 68th place out of 150 runners. The men finished in 10th place out of the 15 team field. According to Assistant Coach Joe Keating, running against the big schools is necessary. "They have to compete against the stronger teams to get better," said Keating.

Don't try telling that to the CSUSM cross-country team. Visit the track around 3:30 and you'll find no individuals out there, rather everything (push-ups, sit-ups, and stretching exercises) is done as a team. An observer will notice that these athletes are having f un, even finding laughter while exerk rising in 90- degree heat. These runners are serious about their warm-ups, but they can also enjoy themselves. Watch the team just before the start of a race and you'll see them run to the starting line together. After the race is over, the words "cool down, cool down," can be heard, a reminder that these runners must gradually return their bodies to normal operating temperature. A group of racers will also jog off to facilitate the cool down, but always together. This is all part of Head Coach Steve Scott's model for success. In talking with Coach Scott, the moral of The Tortoise and The Hare comes to -mind—it's steady progress that will win the race. Scott's philosophy is to have his runners strong and running their best races at the national level in November. "We don't want them to peak too early," Scott said. It is a philosophy that paid off handsomely in 1999, the team's first year of competition. It's also the reason that athletes are transferring to CSUSM. Two of CSUSM's transfer students exemplify the highs and lows of choosing which college to attend, Senior James Adams attended high school at the foot of the Julian Mountains in Ramona. The Pride Sports He transferred to CSUSM from California Baptist University so that he could learn from Scott. "My high school coach and Scott have been friends for a while," said Adams, when asked how he learned of Coach Scott. Adams arrived with solid credentials, but felt that Coach Scott (who holds the American record in the mile run) would give him the best shot at helping him break the four-minute barrier in the mile run. Along with the "mountain man," came a CSUSM junior, Cara Rumble, who attended Orange Glen High School in Escondido. Rumble is another accomplished runner who felt that being coached by Steve Scott was too tempting to pass up. She left Concordia University in Irvine to attend CSUSM.

According to Rumble, "I liked the way that he trained and I enjoyed the way he presented it." Both Adams and Rumble took different routes that eventually brought them to the same team. They enjoy being at CSUSM, but their initial attraction was to join a program coached by Scott. Adams and Rumble also joined the CSUSM cross-country team to have f un, run strong, and win—together. Cougars at the Irvine Invitational The team's first outing came when they participated in the Irvine Invitational on September 9. This was the chance to see the Cougars race against quality competition, including several of the top-ranked major college teams in the nation. How well did Coach Scott think his team performed?

There were some good individual performances that made Scott smile though. Senior transfer student James Adams covered the 5.3 mile course in 26 minutes and 46.5 seconds, good enough for 19th place in a field of 91runners. Next was Brian Sullivan in 34th place, followed by Marcus Chandler in the 44th position. CSUSM finished sixth out of the nine teams in the men's category. The lady Cougars looked very strong in running the 5K distance. Led by junior transfer student Cara Rumble's 23rd place finish (19 minutes, 37.5 seconds) and closely followed by Heather Garritson's 27th place (19 minutes, 46.9 seconds), they were able to finish in 7th place overall out of eleven teams. In the women's 3.1 mile race, four of the top five spots were won by nationally-ranked NCAA teams. Other women placing for CSUSM were Renee MacDonald in 42nd place, Felisha Mariscal 63rd, Camille Wilborn 75th , and Mariel Holcomb in the 84th position. CSUSM Golf "Tees Up" for New Season By: Steve Compian Pride Staff Writer The Cal State San Marcos Golf team is ready to tee up for the new season. Coach Fred Hanover and his team travel to Belton, Texas this week to compete in the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor Tournament. The five man, five woman team is looking to continue the winning ways established by last year's team. In only its second season of competition, CSUSM's men's golf team finished in 11th place and the women finished 8th among all NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) schools. While winning on the college level is new to his team, it is not a new experience for Coach Hanover. Hanover twice led Cal State San Bernardino to third place finishes in the NCAA Division II Tournament. His formula for success involves recruiting players who know more than just how to swing a club. Hanover expects his athletes to be competitive academically as well as physically, thus allowing him to focus on coaching them and not worrying about whether they will be eligible to play. Hanover also looks for a competitive spirit in all of his players. Three of the new recruits for the team include Tony Sellers, a transfer from Pima Community College, and freshmen Nick Mitchell from De La Salle High School in Fairfield, and Jack Spreng from St. Maria Goretti High School in Maryland. Hanover fans their competitive fires by making them try out for the team, and that's just the beginning. Since only five players per team (women and men) can travel to tournaments, his linksters have to battle each other for the right to represent CSUSM; that competition is extremely close this year. "It's coming right down to the wire," said Hanover. How does this year's tearh look? Hanover believes that they will be solid again. "It'll take a little time to develop, but by the end of the season, we should be right up there,"said Hanover. Evaluating individuals is a more difficult matter right now, "At this point I wouldn't be able to 29-31, and then to Santa Clara say, but I'll know after the first University from November 5-7. tourney," added the coach. This first tournament for the year at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, will offer Hanover the perfect opportunity to see how his team reacts to prime competition. The Texas hosts are expecting to have another fine season. Last year Mary HardinBaylor's women's team won the NAIA national championship, and their men's team has improved greatly. The tourney also attracts several of the state's best small college teams.

Marianne McDonald's modern adaptation of The Trojan Women opened on Sunday, September 3, at The Old Globe Theater in front of a f ull house. Euripides, a Greek dramatist, wrote the original play by the same name. Euripides' play tells the story of the fall of Ancient Troy to the Greeks in 416 BC. However, McDonald's modern adaptation, directed by Seret Scott, takes a look at war from a different perspective. Talk of smart bombs and SCUD missiles are some of the clues as to the direction of changes from the original text. et he Best Women GEWTOH USED N L ife a t T he O ld G lobe The psychological effects of the play are fascinating as the waning of helicopters never stops while soldiers dressed completely in camouflage march across the stage. The women in the war camp wear garments of thick layers of cloth with robes, to small tops and long skirts. The costumes play an enormous role in delivering the play's Mm message. Vietnam was never far from my mind with two of the female characters dressed as Vietnamese prostitutes. The female characters display nudity that I did not find offensive, but I would not call it artistically subtle either. Helen of Troy makes an appearance as a confident nymph whose sexual excursions are indicated as the cause of the gveSyssi 4 Mwpii & war.

Orman Pride Staff Writer On Saturday, September 16, approximately 2000 people crowded into a small, oak-filled natural amphitheater to attend the first day of the two-day Julian Bluegrass Festival. With performances by four remarkably talented bluegrass bands and the combination of warm, sunny weather in the mountains, the festival forced a grin upon every attendee's face, merely proving Steve Martin's infamous comment, "Hell, it becomes pretty difficult to feel teary-eyed listening t o banjo music." The first day of the festival began with an assortment of competitions from beginning banjo to professional fiddle. Probably the highlight of the competition occurred when an eight-year-old girl performed the ubiquitous Turkey in the Straw. Most of the spectators were in awe of the youngster's performance, not because of her age and relaxed presence, but because she revealed the spirit of the festival: the timelessness of bluegrass music. The genre has an unknown element that becomes addictive, and forces the performer or listener to consistently examine the ageless art form. After the competitions concluded several bands performed, including Highway 52, Silverado, and Lost Highway. Conspicuously talented, none of the acts created the fervor or enjoyment spawned by the Laurel Canyon Ramblers This particular band—Herb Pederson on banjo, Michael Witcher on dobro, Kenny Blackwell on mandolin, Bill Bryson on bass, and Roger Reed on guitar—mixed the spirit of rock and roll into bluegrass. Flying through various standards and numerous originals, Laurel Canyon Ramblers eventually played gospel, rock, reggae and straightforward bluegrass songs; making the band enormously different from most of the acts performing at the festival, whom never stray away from certain established boundaries of traditional bluegrass. Eloquently mixing talented musicianship with stellar three-part harmonies, the Laurel Canyon Ramblers literally stole the show at the first day of the Julian Bluegrass Festival. Interestingly, maybe because the Laurel Canyon Ramblers were the major act for the bluegrass festival's first day, many in the crowd left the amphitheater after their performance and meandered through the parking lot, where stunning players gathered in circles to jam. No pedestrian with an instru- ment case becomes safe wandering through the crowd of players: even yours truly became involved in a humorous version of Bill Monroe's Working On a Building, complete with vocals and jaw-dropping banjo playing by two teenagers. After watching several groups perform, one can become mesmerized by the technical ability exhibited by so many people. Whether banjo, fiddle, bass, guitar, or mandolins, a plethora of great, obscure performers displayed their skills. Upon leaving at six o'clock in the evening,T realized the depth that music is capable of. Most of the music featured on assorted radio-stations only equals one percent of the total music created in our world. Interestingly, bluegrass may be one of many forms that will never die and will continue to gather listeners searching for a simple form of music, which, like the wind, carries the thoughts and feelings of lost years. Bluegrass music has a long history, beginning with the music of Scotland and Ireland circa 1600. As the genre evolved, bluegrass added elements of jazz, blues, and hillbilly mountain music. While the common vision by society concerning bluegrass originated from the banjo-playing boy in "Deliverance," the music has more sophistication and certainly a higher technical fortitude than most musical genres. At one moment a bluegrass group may sing a gospel number like I Hear a Voice Calling and then immediately launch into a breakneck version of the popular fiddle tune Red Haired Boy; playing as fast as many punk bands. Such a variety of material and speed within the idiom makes bluegrass enjoyable for those who love music. r- express two very different types of nakedness. The entire production seemed to flow nicely, but each of the characters had a moment when his or her performance was unbelievable. I. left the theater anxious to get to the ladies room to hear other people talk about what they had seen, yet nobody talked about it. It may have been mediocre direction or an awkward script, but there was something that really held the play back from being great. Yet, I cannot say that I did not enjoy the performance.

Candide: B ernstein's C omic O pera By: Nathan Fields Pride Staff Writer I have never seen opera so socially critical while retaining genuinely contagious humor. Candid in its shocking comedy and flaunting offenses against everyone who matters, Leonard Bernstein's operatic adaptation of Voltaire's satiric and philosophically profound novel, Candide, inspires ironic and disturbing Pulp-Fiction-tyye laughter. A pleasing combination of Scenefrom Candide flawless orchestration, talented actors and singers, and lively stage production, this comic opera, playing the Casa Del Prado Theater in Balboa Park, offers Bernstein's successful opera in the 100th anniversary year of its composer's life. Unlike most romantically nauseating operas, this sardonic tale of a young man's mid-eighteenth-century journey through Germany, Spain, Turkey, France, colonial South America, and Italy, » Continued on pg 6 Photo courtesy of the Candide website �6 Tuesday, September 19, 2000 Candide » Continued from Page 5 chronicles his process of experientially unlearning the pretentious and naive bourgeois philosophies of popular enlightenment thinkers. Scenes of warfare, slavery, religious hypocrisy, murder, violent rape, sexually transmitted diseases, large-scale misogyny and racism may make some , viewers consider the deeper philosophical implications of Voltaire's poker-faced comedy as social analysis. On the surface a witty, bantering tale of misadventure, Candide reveals itself to actually be a . savage, satiric thrust at the philosophy of "Optimism" (the play's alternate title); which proclaims that nationwide disasters and individual sufferings are both just part of a cosmic plan that is essentially good. Voltaire was not easily prepared to excuse the world's vices quite so easily, nor would he encourage people to accept evil as fate without trying to prevent it or fight it. Candide also represents curiously accurate, yet damaging caricatures of the European intelligencia, the Catholic Church, Judaism, Women, Men, Europeans, royalty, and everyone else. Although published in 1759, the contemporary applications of Candide seem very close at hand. In a time where there seems to be an abundance of pseudo:philosophical explanations for manmade injustice and intellectual copout acquiescence disguised as wisdom, Candide seems to shout, "Action is necessary! All is not well, but all things can be bettered!" and then laugh at its own candidness. If you like opera, see Candide. If you don't like opera, see Candide. This comic opera ends next weekend. Remaining performances are Friday, September 22 at 8pm, Saturday, September 23 at 2pm, and Sunday, September 23 at 2pm. Candide is performed at the Casa Del Prado Theater in Balboa Park.

"After this, anything is possible," states Kevin Jordan, director of Smiling Fish and Goat on Fire. This movie, being one of the greatest romantic comedies released this year, made with a budget of only $40,000. The film stars real-life brothers, Derick Martini (Chris), and Steven Martini (Tony), as brothers helping each other on their way to finding true love. When they were born, their half Native-American grandmother nicknamed free-spirited Tony as Smiling Fish and serious Chris as Goat on Fire. After their parents die on the 405 freeway, Chris raises Tony in their impoverished house in Los Angeles. Tony is a fun-loving actor who enjoys many women that come his way, especially his pseudo-girlfriend, who runs screaming out of the house after finding a ribbed condom that she did not buy him. Later he meets a single mom (played by Christa Miller from The Drew Carey Show), who fate seems to destine as his true love. Chris, Tony's brother, works as an accountant and is trying to salvage a dead-end relationship with his high school sweetheart Alison (played by Amy Hathaway). Interwoven into the comedy is a beautiful story about Clive Henderson, that is based on a real movie sound man that director Kevin Jordan met. Clive (brilliantly performed by Bill Henderson) is a ninety-year-old At the pre-screening of Smiling Fish and Goat on Fire in Hillcrest Thursday night, director Kevin Jordan, and stars Derick and Steven Martini, and Bill Henderson discussed the f ilm with the audience. Derick stated, "the purpose is to meet the audience because it is hard to compete with Hollywood," and Jordan jumped in, stating, "we are doing this grassroots style!" Bill Henderson informed the audience that in the begin- W h e r t m mm l ittle o u r g ra n dma g a v e u s N a t i v e A merican nicknames.

Eventually, Clive helps Chris along the path to finding true love when he meets a gorgeous Sicilian woman (Anna), at a Christmas party. Overall, this is one of the best independent films I have seen to date. Although several scenes between the brothers have lulls in the conversation, it works for the film by giving the audience a sense of reality in their relationship. ning of movie theatres, they called this barnstorming." After winning the Toronto Film Festival Award and Best Film at the Milan Film festival, the trio (Jordan and Martini Brothers) signed a deal for two more films with much larger budgets. The key to making this film work with a small budget was trying to get as much as possible for free, and "get a lot of favors," according to Derick Martini. The three grew up together in New York, and "we really get each other," states Steven Martini. This made a world of difference on the set because there were no creative differences and the dynamics of the set remained very professional but everyone had a real sense of trust. Henderson piped in by stating that it also helped to have "this director [that] loves actors.'' When asked how much money they will make on this film, Jordan jokingly said, "at least fourteen dollars." One member of the audience asked the filmmakers, "What motivated them to write this script?" Derick stated, it is a story they wanted to tell and wanted to have as a reflection of true life; they even went so far as to say that Steven was really hit in the head with a toaster (just as depicted in the film). Another audience member asked, "Since these characters' experiences are similar to your true-life experiences, how many scenes are ad-libbed or did you follow the script?" The Martini brothers chuckled, and Derick replied, "a lot of it was improvisational, but they knew what we had to get out of each scene." One woman came up to Derick after the discussion, and with a concerned look, asked if their parents were still living. Martini immediately responded, "Oh yes, they are quite alive... divorced...but still good friends. We had to take a lot of flack for killing them off in the film though." Smiling Fish and Goat on Fire opened in theatres on September 15, and is playing exclusively in Hillcrest Landmark Theatres. This movie marks Kevin Jordan's directorial debut; he is also a co-writer with life-long friends, the Martini brothers. The f ilm is 90 minutes long and is rated R.

Almost Famous is Crowe's f irst movie since his blockbuster hit Jerry Maguire, and it proves t o be a captivating, intelligently written script f ull of laughs and tears. This semi-autobiographical f ilm was written during a pivotal time in the history of rock and roll. Crowe sets his story in 1973, in San Diego, and chronicles the f unny and often poignant coming of age of 15-year-old William Miller, whose intelligence and genuine enthusiasm lands him the gig of a lifetime. Like his young protagonist, Crowe also got his start in journalism when he landed his first j ob at the age of 15 as a journalist for Rolling Stone Magazine. One of Crowe's most i nfluential friends and mentors was the legendary rock critic Lester Bang, whose character offers advice and friendly words of experience to the main character William. While still in his teens, Crowe, an avid music f an, profiled many of the era's most Scene from Almost Famous influential artists and toured with bands across the U.S. "I didn't want it to be like some of those semi-autobiographical stories that glorify the writer because the truth is* I never felt like the center of any room I was in at the time. I was an observer. That's what the character of William Miller is—he's an observer." William is befriended by his idol, Lester Bangs (played by Philip Seymour Hoffman from Boogie Nights) and l ands his first assignment, an interview with Black Sabbath. At the concert, he also befriends the up-and-coming fictional band, Stillwater^ led by the charismatic lead guitarist, Russell Hammond (Billy Crudup), and lead singer Jeff Bebe (Jason Lee). William also meets a group who call themselves the "Band Aids," led by the beautiful and bewitching Penny Lane (Kate Hudson). When Rolling Stone offers William a huge opportunity to write a cover story of Stillwater, he joins the tour, appropriately titled "Almost Sunny Day Real Estate Releases The Rising By: Adam Bailey Pride Staff Writer Sunny Day Real Estate falls off pace with their fourth and latest album, The Rising Tide. Having recently switched labels f rom Sub Pop Records to Time Bomb Recordings, this Seattle-based band offers u p a more complex, melodically arranged CD to date. From the very moment fans bring this CD home, open it up, and read the liner notes, they will notice the difference right away. They will notice a much more complex set of word arrangements and a greater emphasis being placed upon the words of each song as the catalyst for this album's music. A change that is noble, but ultimately falls short of the intended result when listening to the finished musical product. Photo by Neal Preston Tide The f irst two songs on this CD, Killed by an Angel and One are not much different f rom Sunny Day's previous endeavors under Sub Pop's production. Fairly stripped down by today's standards, these two songs,' emotionally-charged aggression compels listeners to listen to the rest of the album. However, a fter listening to the first two songs on the album, the mode takes an almost 180-degree turn. The album f rom the third selection on is much more complex, revealing a much more heavily produced and textured sound. A sound that works some of the time, like the singles Rain Song or Faces in Disguise. Both songs invoke some passion with soulful melodies and the bowstrings' melancholy sound. However, the sound really grows old and tiresome a fter so many monotoous selections.

RETIREMENT Famous," and begins his journey. Frances McDormand plays Elaine, William's mother, and she adds family hostility. Her relentless advice and presence scares everyone she comes in contact with. "Don't do d rugs!" Elaine says redundantly. Soon William becomes part of the inner circle of the band he idolizes, disregarding the caution from his mother and Lester Bangs who warn him not to befriend the bands. William comes of age as he observes the chaos and on-the- INSURANCE MUTUAL FUND5 road lifestyle of Stillwater. The friendships that William makes are genuine^ and heartfelt as he also falls hard for Penny Lane, the passionate and adoring fan. William is soon f aced with the task of honest and unmerciful journalism as he writes the cover story for Rolling Stone. Confused and anxious, William sets out to tell the truth about the band and its members who are now his friends. I laughed throughout the entire movie and felt an instant connection with the characters. Everyone will be entertained and mesmerized with this film and its characters. The movie's soundtrack includes compositions by Peter Frampton and Nancy Wilson (a member of the band Heart and who is also Crowe's wife). Interlaced with blasts of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and other classic rock bands, the music is brilliant. Almost Famous is now playing at theaters, and I recommend this f ilm to everyone. The movie is rated R because of brief nudity, drug scenes, and language. Almost Famous is a mustsee movie that will turn into a rock-n-roll classic and is one movie I can't wait to buy on DVD.

By Steve Compian Pride Staff Writer What happened if there was an election and no one voted? With the general election scheduled for November, I decided to ponder the question. Knowing the history of voter participation in this country, when barely sixty per cent of all eligible voters who actually cast a ballot constitute a high water mark, I wanted to ask, "What would happen if no one voted?" I understand that this is a purely hypothetical question, but if we can struggle to understand why one person gets booted off of Survivor Island or why the San Diego Chargers can't outscore the San Diego Padres then it may be a question worth pondering. Here's a scenario: The general election to decide the next President of the United States has just occurred and no one voted. The power of voter enthusiasm has waned into blackout proportions. We saw the names of all the candidates and decided that they sucked, so we just bailed out of the voting process all together. What would occur? Letter to the Editors I want to take this opportunity to thank the Pride, in particular Nicole Moreno for the front page article of the Pride titled, "What about the Women? This is truly a success story. This week the list went from having 6 to 19 women! I am excited to have such a good response! The women will be attending a team meeting sometime next week. They will each receive phone calls to coordinate the meeting. Regarding men Soccer we have 32 male students signed up and a large number of them showed up to practice, today, Friday Sept. 8th at 11:00 am.

California State University San Marcos (760) 750-4990 Fax (760) 750-3149 More specifically, what mechanism for the continuation of democracy would kick in? Would the old President simply remain in office as the undefeated champion or do the polls remain open until someone votes, as in sudden death overtime in a sporting event? Our constitution must address this somehow. I didn't really know the answer, so I decided to engage the help of my fellow students. should a person who wasn't popular enough to swing one popular vote be President?) Most of them began with the predictable, "It would never happen." The question is not if it will happen, but rather what are the ramifications of such an event occurring? It would also be fair to clarify that this is not a scientific poll. It falls more into the "Daddy what i f..." category. Wendy (Sociology Major): "I don't know, maybe they'd have to vote again." Here are the responses of students I spoke to at the Dome: George (Business Major): "Wouldn't Clinton just stay President? (No, he's at the end of two terms). Ryan (Mathematics Major): "Gore would automatically become President, because he's the current Vice President." (Hmmm. Interesting thought, but Diana (Part-time Student): "That's why we have an Electoral College." (O k. we have an Electoral College and then what?) No response. Patricia (Education Major): "Maybe they'd have to do it [election] over?" Rachel (Women's Studies): "No idea." It's probably not unusual that so many of us don't have a clue as to what would happen, because the chances of such an event ever occurring is so remote that it is regarded as pure fiction. Could it be, however, that we have never given the topic much thought because there is always the security of believing that someone else will vote? And what if that mysterious someone doesn't do what we had assumed? Then, where would that leave us? The Pride New Budget Gets Academic Year Off to Good Start By Dr. Charles B. Reed Chancellor, California State University I want to take this opportunity to welcome all of you to a new academic year at the California State University, especially those students who have enrolled at a CSU campus for the first time this fall. We are very proud to have all of you as members of the CSU family. I know that in a place as large as the 23-campus CSU system, it can be difficult to find up-todate information about our system. That's why I hope that occasional columns like these can provide you with some of this important information. I'm proud to report that our year is off to a good start already, thanks to a landmark budget signed by Gov. Davis over the summer. This is one of the best budgets the CSU has ever seen. Our total general fund budget, for 2000/01 is approximately $2.5 billion; and the general fund increase totals $333.7 million, our largest increase ever. The governor and the legislature have also passed new legislation to increase financial aid for many more students in California next year. What does this mean for the CSU? It means that our top two priorities — access for students and compensation for employees — will be funded as follows: Access — The budget includes a $73.1 million general fund increase to accommodate the 12,577 additional full-time equivalent students expected to enroll during this academic year. Our system is expected to continue to grow at this incredible pace, taking on a total of about 130,000 new students by 2010. Compensation — The budget includes $113.2 million for a six percent compensation pool for all CSU employees. This continues to help close the faculty salary gap. In addition, the budget includes funds for year-round operations, community service learning, CSU Channel Islands, CSU Stanislaus Stockton Center, the Coachella Valley Center of CSU San Bernardino, and technology training for teachers. It also supports the California Workforce Initiative, which funds high-cost programs in such fields as nursing, agriculture, engineering, computer science, and the biological sciences. This budget will allow us to continue to uphold our priorities of serving students, assisting the public schools, improving and expanding teacher preparation, eliminating the need for remedial education, and making the most of new advances in technology. It will also allow us to add a new focus on preparing students for the workforce of California. If you would like to learn more about our budget, you can read about it on our web site at http:// www.calstate.edu/tier3/PubAffairs/ news/budget2000.html. Or for more general information about the system, you can go directly to our home page, www.calstate.edu. I wish you best of luck in your studies, and I look forward to visiting each of your campuses in the coming academic year. C liches - Paradoxes of C onventional W isdom By: Bryan Clark Pride Staff Writer I'm tired of them. I'm tired of hearing them all the time. People too often use them without knowing what they mean. I'm talking about cliches. Far too often people cling to the "conventional wisdom" of cliches. But most people don't realize that cliches, while meant to be uplifting and truthful, constantly contradict themselves. I have a quick list of cliches that really capture the need for truth and inspiration, yet when presented with others, unfortunately cancel out the message. Enjoy: "Always make a good first impression" versus "Never judge a book by its cover". "Life is hard" versus "It's as easy as 1-2-3". "Never give up" versus "If you can't beat them, join them". now or never". "We always hurt the ones we love". "Expect great things" versus "Better safe than sorry" versus "Don't count your chickens until "Risking life and limb". they've hatched". "Better late than never" versus "Don't give up your day job" "Time is of the essence". versus "Follow your dreams". "Two wrongs don't make a right" "The best things in life are f ree" versus "Who's to say what is versus "Nothing is free in life". right or wrong?" "Life is short" versus "Live long "Love hurts" versus "No pain, and prosper". no gain." "Life will get better as you go "Free love" versus "It's a labor -on" versus "When it rains, it of love". pours". "There is safety in numbers" "There is no time like the pres- versus "Your better off alone". ent" versus "Time will tell". "Its hope against hope" versus "Take it one step at a time" "When worse comes to worse". versus "It's all or nothing", "Never look a gift horse in the "All good things come to those mouth" versus "Look before you who wait" versus "Don't hesitate leap". or all is lost". "Being in love means never hav"Bide your time" versus "It's ing to say you're sorry" versus HAVE AN OPINION? SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITORS TO "Crime doesn't pay" versus "Illgotten gains". So the next time someone tries to give you some "conventional wisdom", don't take it. Do the opposite and see what happens. Look the g ift horse in the mouth; see if it has cavities. If someone tells you, "Don't worry be h appy" immediately scream at them and freak the hell out! Crime doesn't pay? There are more criminals t han days of the year! If they tell you everything is going to be all right, go home, pack your things, and move far, FAR away because it won't be all right for a very, very long time. I guess I could be overreacting to all these conflicting and I should take it with a grain of salt, but maybe I should just stand up and face the facts.

I guess it's just a CYA thing (That's "Cover Your A ssef's for those who don't know) . In By: Steve Kerrin anyone complains, we have to be able to say, "The students voted on it, it wasn't done without their approval." I really don't think anyone should complain. Consider how cheap it is to go to school here compared to anywhere else locally. Hiition is less than $900/semester. Books cost about the same as anywhere else. We don't have to burn a tank of gas every day driving through freeways as congested as 15, 8, and 5. We all have a free exercise program too, just park in the lower lots off Barham and walk up the stairs every day. When you put all that together, along with the convenience factor of having a university in North County where most CSUSM students live, you see we have a great deal going here. Even if we do have to pay another $30/semester in Student Union fees, it still beats the crap out on t he S tudent Union Fee R eferendum Vote No Actually, Stephen most of what you said was true— the truth as we have all been led to absorb it. But in college By: Steve Compian we're supposed to look beyond the regurgitated, spoon-fed party line, and ask the hard questions in order to unveil t he truth. The issue here isn't about buying new jock straps for the team or painting a mural on the side of a building. It's about spending money. When you're old enough and have dolled-out enough taxes to pay for every imaginable outhouse ever built, maybe you'll be in a better position to understand what it is I have to say. We really need to think about what it is we're going to do. I'm not against building or growth, but before people go to the polls, we need to clarify a few things. First, the increase in student fees is not easily reversible. As soon as the university gets the yea vote, those bulldozers that we've been seeing around campus are going to dig some holes. Also, the fee increase will not decrease after the structure is paid for; it will remain FOREVER, except when it is scheduled to increase again. If it doesn't pass, we can always try again later. Second, why are they calling this the on t he S tudent Union Fee R eferendum The Pride Co-Editor Co-Editor Graduate Intern Melanie Addington Victoria B.

Unsigned editorials represent the majority opinion o f The Pride editorial board. of dealing with SDSU. It will still be only $50. SDSU students pay $142. I hear people saying, "Well if it's so cheap why would we want to make it more expensive?" Let me ask these people this: Did you really think that students on a new, growing campus wouldn't be hit up for fee increases at some point? I would accuse anyone who didn't think that would happen of being naive. It's inevitable that we would have to foot the bill for some things. The State would never pay for every amenity that we students want. Don't worry if money's tight and you're getting financial aid. The fee increase gets factored into that equation. For the rest of us, saving $30/semester to make up for the difference is not so tough. Just cut that $3 cup of coffee out of your morning ritual one day a week. Or the next time someone asks you "Do you want fries with that?" just say, "No." Maybe stick to domestic beer instead of import. Wait, nevermind, we have to draw the line somewhere. The point is, $30 for something that will make life better for all concerned is a bill worth paying. And if future students are really pissed off that we did this to them, they can vote to reverse it. Somehow, I don't think they will. "Fieldhouse/Student Union?" Is it descriptive of its use or is it because officials felt that we wouldn't cough up the dough for a field house, so they got the idea that setting aside space for a student union would make it sell better? If we're going to pay for a gym that can serve the purpose of a student union and double as a church on Sunday, fine. Just tell us that we're voting on a gym. Finally, we need to think about all those students who will follow us later. These fee increases will continue to rise. What about tuition? That's a different issue and comes under a different account. If tuition increases, they won't be able to cry about fees because we voted for it. Times are good right now. There is plenty of money via jobs, scholarships, grants, and cheap loans. But when the economy goes b&d, as it does occasionally, all that money will dry up and the students that follow may not be able to afford school then, making the building of a structure now a moot point. Again, I am not opposed to construction, expansion, or looking towards the future. What I feel strongly about is that people need to ask the university the hard questions before voting. Everyone should vote. But if the only decision that we can make is an uninformed one, then the foundation that we lay today may not support the future that we seek to build for tomorrow.

New Glub At CSUSM By: Rachael Jenkins There is a new club on campus for students who wish to become teachers. The Future Educators Club is designed to inform students about applying fer the credential program here at Cal State San Marcos. Jennifer Moon is the President of FEC this year. She states, "I'm excited to have such a club on campus to help students be more prepared for the credential program by informing members of what's needed to be accepted into the credential program as well as a place to meet future colleagues." organizing a donation drive for books, clothing, and toys. Former President of FEC, Raeanna Wertz began the Future Educators Club at Mira Costa College. When Raeanna transferred to CSUSM she carried the FEC project with her. "I realized that Jo Dube, Jennifer Moon and myself had to do something," states Raetfnna. "We spoke with different people on campus, telling them about our idea. We took out the paperwork from ASI and SRL and then the College of Arts and Sciences approached us. They had lost a large part of their advising department and needed to find a way to pass information to the students and we were looking for a place to connect with; so it was a match made in heaven." FEC's plans for this academic year include motivational speakers, hosting a CPR class for students to become certified at a discount, and t o participate in campus events.

One showing will be during the University Hour in Academic Hall room number 102. The other showing will be in the Clarke Field House from 6 p.m., in the large conference room across I the hall from the Grand Salon. The room which can hold 130 people „was almost at capacity with almost 100 people attending the meeting. The students sat with their group or team at each table. "If you want to be a Club Sport then you have to be here,' said (JJ) John C. Getskow Jr. who is a Photo by Kelly Corrigan J The Pride With seventeen women's studies classes and a growing rate of interest and participation from CSUSM students toward the program, students are fervently asking the administration for a third full time tenure track professor. Over five hundred and sixty CSUSM students are enrolled in women's studies classes this fall. Approximately fifty two of that number either major or minor in women's studies. But since 2001, there have been only two full time faculty members in the women's studies department. With seventeen women's studies classes and a growing rate of interest and participation from CSUSM students toward the program, students are fervently asking the administration for a third full time tenure track professor. Today the women's studies program includes four student organizations. The Women's Studies Student Association is one of them. Nancy Martinez-Molano, president of WSSA is a double major in Women's Studies and Criminology & Justice. Martinez-Molano is a first generation college student and wants to become a human rights and immigration lawyer. "The program has helped me accomplish goals and has given me opportunity.

Getskow is also a liaison for the Surf Team. "Domanic Thomas is one of those down to earth people; I enjoy working for him and with him. Even though we have work to get done we always have good times and some good laughs," he said. "Domanic Thomas seemed like he was there to help, he also seemed like he knew how to get stuff done and didn't want to mess around," said Jennifer Brich who is a Math Major and a member of the CSUSM Cheerleading Squad who plans to graduate in 2010. The main points that were emphasized by Thomas during the meeting were that the Club Sports do not have a lot of financial funding or insurance. Many participants of Club Sports were unaware of this fact, which was stressed as vital by Thomas. Another point that was brought up was that of participation and commitment by the teams. Thomas informed the students that dedicated teams would be able to do more and most importantly remain a team. "You can be fined for not meeting my expectations" and "You will not like me if you do not turn in your paperwork," he said, explaining that Club Sports' eligibility depends not only on the commitment of the members to the team, but also to the rules and regulations of the campus. The meeting was concluded with the teams being told that the team with "the most points" would be awarded £ fully funded party of their tastes come April of the Spring 2007 semester.

The meeting then proceeded outside as balloons were tossed about on the outside basketball court, in a competition in which two members from each Club Sport tossed balloons for accuracy at increasing distances. Laughter and conversation between members of the various teams could be heard during the event. "I bring passion for sports but more importantly [I want to see] student's growth outside of the classroom," said Thomas. As advice to students, Getskow said, "make sure you come down to the Field House and check on availability of sports and give your support to those who are being active in the school community, by becoming a spectator for your favorite sports". "In the future I see [Club Sports] getting more competitive as the school grows and becomes more traditional and less of a commuter feel," said Thomas. Thomas also noted "Club Sports can not expand much further without more space... they are trying to build CSUSM's image up to the outside world and will not let any of these teams embarrass [CSUSM] by showing up late, ^unorganized, or with bad behavior." If the teams that attended the first official meeting for Clubs Sports follow the regulations and standards set forth by Thomas then CSUSM shall see a few more trophies and more prestige added to the image of CSUSM.

The Student Discussion Leader program gives students the opportunity to lead discussions in front of their peers in the classroom. Iota Iota Iota is an honor society in support of students going into grad schools. These organizations have laid a path for students looking to make a difference. The most recently founded organization is the The ASI Women's Center. Each organization has spawned campus activities and student participation. Cheyenne Barr, the director of Men's Activism and Outreach, President of Progressive Activists Network and President of the Women's Center, believes women's studies can be applied to various students. "We're not fighting to save ourselves but trying to save it for other majors." Discussion is underway to change the name of women's studies to women gender and sexuality studies. She looks for classes to include men and masculinity, sex work and prostitution among others. With all this contribution, Barr says, "We're still left with two faculty members and no more."

But what International and exchange students are really doing besides taking exams and writing papers in a classroom, are learning about the world. They meet people who become a life long connection across the world or maybe in a neighboring country. They leave everything at home to get a real taste of life and return with a renewed vision of the world. And it is exactly this that International Student Advisor Danielle McMartiri loves to see. For those who choose to study at CSUSM work with McMartin during their stay at CSUSM. Some students choose to stay for a semester, others for a year, and other students stay for the four years it takes them to receive their bach- ments, there are about twenty elors degree.

Did you see any cheerleaders last year? How many? You could not have because cheerleading has never officially been a part of CSUSM. September 14th marked the first official meeting for CSUSM Cheer. Tryouts will be held September 18th through September 23rd. CSUSM Cheer is going to be a traveling competition squad. Slight confusion could be seen during the first meeting for the CSUSM Cheer which was simultaneously held during the first official meeting of Club Sports. "We don't even know who our leader or instructor is" confessed one of the twelve present cheerleaders. The cheerleaders seemed cheerful and energetic as they conversed amongst each other before the meeting began. They remained silent and attentive, minus one audible cell phone ring tone, during the lecture given by Domanic Thomas who is the ASI Coordinator for Campus Recreation. "[CSUSM Cheer] are in the process of becoming a recognized Club Sport; they must show that they have the numbers, organization, and a competitive division/ league to compete in, At this time, they have demonstrated organization [such S an M arcos a Creekside Market Place DAPHNES 595 Grand Avenue San Marcos, CA 9 2069 (760) 7 44-3732 Carlsbad (700)929-0875 iiWfiRD Oceanside |7§0) 4&-18Ó1 MillMiasms laving w d t m m m «titer f«ai*, Gmfc & Detó»* Gyros Pita t A Q Q ; as] paperwork and are gaining numbers but have yet to secure a competitive division to compete in for Spring 2007," said Thomas. When asked where do you see CSUSM Cheer taking CSUSM Thomas replied, "Hopefully to a state funded level competition nationally after removing [no stunting] restrictions." When asked the same question Jennifer Brich, who is a Math Major planning on graduating in 2007 stated, "I want the squad to grow into an award winning cheer squad" which "requires hard work." No male CSUSM students were seen at the first official meeting for CSUSM Cheer. When asked about a possible coed CSUSM Cheer Brich f eplfd, "I think co-ed cheer squads are great" and Thomas stated; "It is something that will happen if we cap remove the [no] stunting clause." . Minus the no stunting clause which is already gaining animosity, the CSUSM Cheer seems off to a great start for the first time ever here at CSUSM. Keep your eyes peeled for their future events as they bounce and spin their way into CSUSM history, pompoms and all. Give me a CO-U-G-A-R-P-R-I-D-E! "It's going to be a bumpy start " said Brich.

Lu^rs adeptly slipped a pass ¿cross the box, connecting with Seidenglanz, who tapped it into the open corner of the net. Up 1-0 with 60 minutés left to play, the task for the Cougars was just to hold on. Goach Ron Pulvers switched to a strategy based on counterattacking in thé second half, which resulted in more opportunities for the Cougars. After some near misses, disaster struck in the 67th minute. Following a hard foul by Point Loma, Troy Skomra threw a ball at a Point I^oma player. A brief skirmish followed, but both teams' coaches quickly broke it up. However, Skomra was red-carded; leaving the Cougars a man down for the remainder of the match. With its newfound advantage, Point Loma pushed hard to equalize the score. However, the San Marcos defenders, led by senior Ben Grouse, held strong; and goalkeeper i rent Painte* did not let anything past. Though he was only called Men's on to make two saves, Painter's decision making was excellent as usual en route to his fifth shutout of the year. As the final whistle sounded, the Cougars celebrated, knowing they had earned their most impressive win of the season thus far. They won't have long to savor the victory, though - they'll be back on Mangrum Field this Tuesday (9/19) against Vanguard University. Any and all CSUSM fans are welcome to attend the 4:00 PM game and cheer on their 7-1 Cougars! CSUSM Paintball BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer In their first official event last weekend, The Cal State San Marcos Paintball team, lead by team Captain Wesley Quach, was able to place third out of a field of over twenty collegiate teams; As of Spring 2006, thanks to a number of organized and determined students, CSUSM has offered Paintball as a club sport. The team consists of full time stu- dents who play in leagues against other college club teams such as UC Santa Barbara and Point Loma. Through ASI funding, the Paintball team is able to purchase equipment, rent field space, and travel to tournaments including last week's. The cable sports network ESPN will be covering future regional and national tournaments, like the one the CSU San Marcos team competed in last week.

With that said, here are the top 10 sports books that I have read. No. 10 — "Juiced" by Jose Canseco. I simply recommend this book because of its hilarity. Canseco does have an extensive knowledge of steroids but he also shows his lack of knowledge on pretty much everything else in the world. If you want to know who took steroids during the 1990's through 2000's then read this book. No. 9 - "Joe DiMaggio: The Hero's Life" by Richard Ben Cramer. Probably the best book to give you a sense of what baseball and the United States were like from the early 1930's to the early 1950's. No. 8 - "I May Be Wrong, But I doubt It" by Charles Barkley. I liked this book because you really won't find anyone else in sports that are willing to comment on issues of politics, race and society. When I read or hear something from Barkley I pay attention because he doesn't try to be dishonest and isn't insincere in what he is saying. No. 7. - "Oh My" by Dick Enberg. This is Enberg's autobiography, and for those of you who don't know who he is, he is a sports broadcaster. I admire^ his career because he knows a . i lot about every sport. I have tried to fashion my career much like his by learning as much as I can about every sport imaginable. I mean, Enberg even covered Roller Derby in the early days of his career. No. 6 - "I Never Had It Made" - Jackie Robinson. This is the autobiography of the man who broke the color barrier in baseball. Everyone knows that aspect about Robinson, but this book taught me so much more about him. What impressed me most about his book is the air of confidence, bordering on cockiness, in which he wrote about his life. It further cemented my opinion that in order to change the world for the better, you have to be so cocky that you think nothing can stop you. No. 5 - "A Shark Never Sleeps" by Drew Rosenhaus. The NFL super agent wrote this autobiog- L .r raphy before he was infamous after the whole Terrell Owens versus Philadelphia Eagles incident. Rosenhaus really is a brilliant and creative mind and this book takes you into his process of how he used that creativeness to make him into a very successful, NFL agent. No. 4 - "The Last Season" by Phil Jackson. All Los Angeles Lakers fans know about this book. It takes you into the breakup of the Shaq/Kobe/Phil Jackson dynasty. I read this book in about two days, because it was so compelling. No. 3 - "Game of Shadows" by Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams. This book is what is going to keep Barry Bonds out of the MLB hall of fame. This is some of the best reporting you will ever see on any subject. They also stand behind their findings « Ua » rnn t'«fnmAHC O miirh tliat tllPV mav e s CAr\i A so much that they may bKf»erving time in prison soon because they are unwilling to give up their sources to a grand jury. No. 2 - "License To Deal" by Jerry Crasnick. This book follows two young MLB agents who are trying to make it in a backstabbing industry by being honest. I worked with an MLB agent for about a year and realize how hard that task will be for those guys. No. 1-"Moneyball"by Michael Lewis. This book changed the way people look at baseball. Rather than just looking at pure talent, people are now analyzing numbers more than ever. No book has really ever done that to any sport, except for this book. When you read this, you think to yourself, "Why didn't I realize that?" If you have any sports books recommendations, send them to Sando026@csusm.edu.

For the majority ofus who are working, finding time can be hard to participate in extra curricular activities but always keep your eyes peeled and your ears open for something that just might fit into your Palm Pilot between school and work. I was able to attend "Luann: Scenes from a Teen's Life" on Friday the 15th of September at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido which started promptly at 7 p.m. My girlfriend is a huge comic fan, asher stacks ofread and reread comic books lying around in her room suggest, so naturally I had no say in the matter. Except, "You are paying for dinner after the show" I grunted. The show was only $10 per seat which is just maybe a dollar or two above a regular movie theatre ticket. The wait to purchase the tickets was approximately five minutes which only left us two minutes to get in and seated. When asked if we wanted bottom row off to the center, top row off to the center, or lastly top row almost in the middle I chose the latter. The view was perfect on the second story seating area. The theatre was almost full with about 20 seats left unseated. You could catch a glimpse of the live music coming from an open section in front of the main stage in front of thefirstfloorseating area through an array of mirrors. Jenny quickly pointed out that we were four seats away from Greg Evans who wrote the script for the play and who is the artist for the Luann comic strip. No recording of anything from any device was allowed, but a quick snap of the artist himselffrommy photo equipped cell phone did not harm anyone. Center ARTES of CSUSM helped direct the play. The music throughout the musical was awesome, mainly due to the fact that the music was live and executed so well throughout the entire play. The lighting was also magnificent and highlighted every scene appropriately and accurately. The themes of the musical focused on high school but could easily be associated with issues surrounding college students, such as the complexity of women and the simplicity of men, guys and their cars, and dreams of certain likable individuals. I also learned that "no" can be a good word and a bad word depending on whose opinion you take. A concessions stand provided coffee, tea, and light snacking at reasonable prices. Dozens of shops and eateries surrounded the theater so a pre-dinner or a post dinner was a viable option to complete a full night. Parking was easy and driving to and from the theatre was done with ease. On the trek back to Temecula, I looked back on the play and was glad that Jenny made me go. The play was great. I found myself getting really emotional at times during the sad or extremely happy moments. I also found myself letting out my girlish beast-like squeak of laughter during sarcastic moments. Greg Evans seemed to give approval of the musical as he cheered on the cast members after the musical had concluded; that resulted in a standing ovation. I along with Mr. Evans concur, it t'was a wonderful musical and I could have missed out. BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer Photo by David Gatley / The Pride September marks the Stone Brewing Company's 10th anniversary, which they've chosen to celebrate with custom bottles of their famous India Pale Ale and a generous charitable fundraising event. Located; i n E scondido, S tone B reweries i s o ne of the few breweries local to the North County. Stone breweries emphasizes that their beer uses no additives preservatives, adjuncts or pasteurization. The result is a crisp and clean beer with a pleasant aftertaste. With 6.9% alcohol per volume , and smooth hoppy flavor, Stone's award winning India Pale Ale is an excellent beer for general drinking sessions. It pours well in a golden chestnut color, with an earthy aroma and a full foamy head that lingers with an almost perfect spider webbed lacing after each sip. The ale smells slightly of pine and tropical fruit. Stone IPA does not taste piney however, it is a bold blend of malt and hops with a slight hint of fruitiness and a slight smoky flavor. Stone's IPA is best served at 40-45 degrees in a chilled pint glass or mug. Its mouthfeel is rich with the right amount ofcarbonation and a hint of tartness from t heir celebrated "generous dry-hopping". Lom( Víketyview: BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer/ The Jumping Turtle Bar and Grill is very much like a music venue. It's a good place to go see local bands, friends and meet new people. That is if you like the rock or punk music. The place opens at 11 a.m. and closes at 2 a.m. Upon entering, there is security to make sure people are of age. At this place, after 10 p.m. people must be 21 an up to enter on "gig" nights. These are the nights that bands play. But on regular nights, like football Sunday and Monday, it's open to everyone The beer is excellent as a stand alone, but would do well with rich curries or other spicy foods. It also works well along side salty aperitifs or cheeses. With a high alcohol and high hop content though, it can l eave a d rinker f eeling t hirsty. The Stone Breweries IPA is available in 22oz Bottles, extra large three liter bottles and a limited edition draft version. The bottled versions of the 10th anniversary brew include special quotes and interviews on the back from the staff at the breweries, as well as a redesigned label graphic. While the redesign is a nice touch, the taste and features of the ale alone sell it. However, something else to that is perhaps more noteworthy is that during their 10th year anniversary fundraising event, the staff of Stone Breweries has raised almost $20,000 for such local causes as Boys and Girl's Club of San Marcos, Palomar Family YMCA, the Surfrider Foundation and FightALD.org. Between it being brewed at a local brewery, the company engaging in admirable philanthropic causes and the ale being excellent, Stone India Pale Ale is a great beer to drink, and now is a great time to drink it. BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer Photo by Sophie Brink / The Pride Once upon a time, in a bar far, far away, I sipped at my cocktail and announced, "I can't taste the tea in this drink." Scoffed at by my more mature bar-going pals, I was laughingly informed, "There's no tea in a Long Island Iced Tea!" And so it was that I learned that the brownish hue of the drink, which so resembles iced tea, is actually due to a splash of cola. The fact that it is usually served in a Collins glass and garnished with a lemon wedge also may deceive the naive drinker. The educated cocktail maven will no doubt know that the Long Island Iced Tea is a veritable liquid smorgasbord of hard liquor, a collusion of 1 part vodka, 1 part tequila, 1 part rum, 1 part gin, 1 part triple sec, 1 1/2 parts sweet and sour mix, and 1 splash Cola that can leave even the iron-bellied drinker weakkneed and stupid. There might not be tea in a Long Island Iced Tea, but its origins have indeed been traced to Long Island - the question is, howeyer, which Long Island. The most related version of the story has it created by a man named "Rosebud" and making its debut sometime in the mid-1970s. Another version insists that the potent potable hails from a community called Long Island in Tennessee and dates back to theT920s. Whichever history you subscribe to, there is no doubt that this drink is not for the timid. Those with a sweet tooth, however, may prefer to sweeten it up with variations such as substituting raspberry liqueur, peach schnapps or cranberry juice* for cola. In any case, fill a cocktail shaker half-way with iqe, pitch in all ingredients except cola, shake and pour into a Collins glass filled with ice, and add a splash of cola for color or substitute as desired. Garnish with a lemon wedge, make sure you aren't driving anywhere that day, and serve. The Jumping Turtle Bar and Grill free of entrance charge. On gig nights there is an entrance charge that changes depending on who is playing; it's usually between $7 and $12. The security and staff are friendly there, though appearances can be deceiving. Everyone seemed to be enjoying him or herself, and it wasn't because most of them were drunk. Yes, there is a lot of alcohol at this place. It is built like the Whiskey a Go Go on the Hollywood Sunset Strip and many other venues on it. When you walk in you are glowing, literally. They have black lights set up. Straight in front of you is about seven tables and too many chairs to count. To your right is the door to the patio and two pool tables. To your left is the stage and dance floor The stage has enough room for a band to fit comfortably and move. The danceflooris in front of the stage and to the left of it is the bar where you can order drinks and food. It's a smaller venue but is filled with windows and the space is open for easy movement. Surprisingly, in this small venue there is enough room for a small mosh-pit before the stage, and there was one happening Friday night. The Jumping Turtle Bar and Grill is filled with people of all types, from the casual person to the extreme. I saw a bunch of colored Mohawks, which made the room look like a rainbow, a lot of leather jackets, tight jeans, ripped jeans, band shirts and more. But that wasn't all. Like I said, it's a great variety of people but all love the rock music. For people who don't like the rock music, loud places, or anything like a music venue, this i s not the place for you. But if you do like rock music, a friendly atmo-* sphere, loud music and pool, or even sitting on a patio with food, you'll like this place. It even has two arcade games and special events for different occasions. An example of this is the football xbox game Madden that they get people to play on football Sundays. That isn't all they offer, though. This place isn't always playing music from bands; it has other events as well posted on their website. So if you'd like to give it a visit, it's off of the Rancho Santa Fe exiton the left side ofthe ^tfeeton Capalina Roa<|. My overall experience at this place was a good one; I loved the people, the music and the space it offered. I encourage students to stop by and test the place out. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Luckily, a new scholarship from the University Bookstore may help remedy short-changed Cougars.

From Aug. 24 to Aug. 28, prominent Democrats including Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Howard Dean, A1 Gore, Michelle Obama, and Barack Obama spoke on behalf of the Democratic party at this years Democratic National Convention (DNC). Barack Obama officially accepted the Democratic nomination on Thursday Aug. 28, the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King's famed "I have a Dream" speech. On Invesco Field at Mile High, Stadium, Obama announced before a record crowd of 84,000 people, "With profound gratitude and great humility, I accept your nomination for the presidency of the United States." 10 cable and broadcast networks aired Obama's acceptance speach to more than 38 million television viewers, breaking all previous Democratic and Republican convention audience records. The convention attracted an average audience of 30.2 million viewers over the course of the 4-day event During his speech, Obama paid tribute to John McCain, saying of his Republican challenger, "Now let there be no doubt. The Republican nominee, John McCain, has worn the uniform of our country with bravery and distinction, and for that we owe him our gratitude and respect. However, Obama did attempt to distinguish himself from his rival a bétí « Bjju throughout his mm speech.

Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, the Democratic Party cheered on as Illinois Senator Barack Obama, the first African American candidate for a major political party, accepted his nomination. Over 84,000 supporters were present for during the 42-minute speech, making the gathering the largest at a Democratic convention ever. In MLK's speech, he emphatically declared, "I have a dream that my four little 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." Two of his children spoke during the convention following a video tribute of their father to celebrate the historic occasion. See Speech, Page 4 on June 3, Obama, then the presumptive democratic nominee, did not officially receive the party's nomination until the Aug. 27 roll call vote of the party's delegates. During the vote, Senator Hillary Clinton successfully motioned to suspend the roll call and nominate Obama by acclamation. JoeBiden also received the vice-presidential nomination by a voice vote on Aug. 27, the same day as his address at the convention. The party's affirmation ofBarack Obama as their presidential can- didate marks the official end of a volatile and protracted primary season. The months leading up to the convention saw tension build around the seating of Florida and Michigan's delegates and the dissatisfaction of many Clinton Supporters wiBi the outcome ofthe primary.

BY JACKIE CARBAJAL News Editor On Friday, Aug. 29, a day after the close of the Democratic National Convention, the presumptive Republican nominee, Arizona Senator John McCain, announced Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his vice presidential candidate. Palin is not only the first female running mate selected for the GOP, but also the first Alaskan on a major party campaign. A first term governor, Palin beat out Gov. Frank Murkowski for reelection in the 2006 Republican primary and defeated Democrat Gov. Tony Knowles in the general election. In 1984, Democratic candidate Walter Mondale selected Photo retrievedfrom Wikipedia Geraldine Ferraro as his runA mother of five and self ning mate. Incumbent Presiproclaimed "hockey mom," Palin, dent Ronald Reagan defeated 44, got her start in politics in 1992 them, however, in a landslide when she ran for city council in victory. Wasilla, Alaska. Commenting to Fox News on the announcement of another female contender, Ferraro noted that McCain's choice could make a difference in the turnout of the election. "There are a lot of women who are disaffected by how Hillary [Rodham Clinton] was treated" during her run in the Democratic primaries, adding "I've spent a lot of time over the last 24 years saying, 'Gosh, I wish I weren't the only one.'" In her welcoming speech, Palin addressed the female vote, reaching out to Hillary supporters. "Hillary left 18 million cracks in the highest, hardest glass ceiling in America. But it turns out the women of America aren't finished yet, and we can shatter that glass ceiling once and for all," Palin said. This Monday, Palin confirmed reports that her 17-yearold daughter, Bristol, is preg- nant. In a statement released by the McCain campaign, Palin adds that her daughter is about five months pregnant, going to keep the child and marry the father. "We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us," the statement said. "Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support." The Palin family also requested that the media respect the privacy of the couple. The McCain campaign also stated that McCain knew of the pregnancy before selecting Palin and did not consider it to be a deterrent in the election. �T H E C IPRIDE H a r d to EDITORIAL STAFF EDITOR IN CHIEF VI RI DIANA PACHECO1SAAC MANAGING EDITOR BEN M .

Located in Millennium Park, the enormous stainless steel sculpture acts as a three dimensional mirror of the city. It is perfectly located so that left side reflects buildings to the west and the right side reflects buildings to the east—it is a sculpture that reflects earlier sculptures. The location ofour school's new "Focus" sculpture, ^k by artist Robert Freeman is located on a dirt mound. The sculpture was met with opprobrium by the editorial staff because of its obvious and awkward location. Its bright and spirited colors are washed out by sunlight and ignored by moonlight. Trees surround the inglorious dirt mound it stands embarrassingly proud \ on. The only way to get a good look at this 14-foot sculpture is to walk right up and stare at its ashamed k face. Aban- m doned sloppily M to the side of ™ Kellogg, the 14-foot freeform 'Focus' sculpture of dancing yellows, greens, purples, reds and blues is dwarfed by its surroundings. "Cloud Gate" became part of Chicago's community. It gives back to the people that interact with it. It is at the center, revealing what the artist thought to be the best of Chicago. Who is going to interact with our sculpture? And more importantly, how is it going to i nteract with us? Wall-E was the best movie of the summer BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer As the cinemas switch over from summer blockbuster mode to fall Oscar hunter mode, it's time to reflect on the outstanding pieces put forth this past season. Though there were many fine works put forth, two rose to the top. These high caliber films were Warner Brothers "The Dark Knight" and Disney/Pixar's "WallE." Both were tremendous works of entertainment, but I put it forth that "Wall-E" was the better film. I am aware of the large following surrounding "The Dark Knight," so I will address its merits and how it was bested. The best way to put it is that "The Dark Knight" was a more entertaining movie, but "Wall-E" was better film and piece of art. "The Dark Knight" was very good and I give it credit, but there were some elements that made it far from perfect. For one, it was too dark. It was so obsessed with being sinister that it stumbled a bit and lost some of the audience. It used irrelevant dark moments to make the audience uncomfortable and halted progress of the plot. The film might have been rated R for its calm viciousness, but it was not, which leads me to believe that it compromised itself to get the PG-13 rating and thus get more viewings. On the other hand, "WallE" remained spectacular from beginning to end. It was beautiful to look at. Every shot of the earth, the land, and space were treats for the eye. And that is just the art aspect of the film. It was engrossing in its story about humanity finding itself. Its message was clear without being in your face. The subtext of mankind losing its way so dramatically that it takes a non-human to bring them back is timely and impacting. "Wall-E" also had heart and emotion, whereas "The Dark Knight" failed to produce characters one could care about. They were both good films, but "Wall-E" had all the details nailed down, such as its soundtrack. The music to "Wall-E" subtly enhanced the mood, while many moments of the "The Dark Knight" had an overly dramatic scoring that ejected the viewer from the moment by being distracting. Besides both films having main characters voices enhanced by computer, both flicks will be remembered as the best of the 2008 summer. Yet "Wall-E" is a timeless masterpiece, which I can see cleaning up very well this spring at the Oscars. Attention to detail and a brilliant story made "Wall-E" the best film of the summer and year so far. Reactions to largest US immigration raid insensitive BY VIRIDIANA PACHECOISAAC Editor-in-Chief I always say the reason I got into the field of journalism was to educate my readers on issues they did not know about. Well, here is your lesson for today. Last week, the largest singleworkplace immigration raid in U.S. History took place in the small town of Laurel, Miss. According to an article published by the Associated Press last Tuesday, Federal agents reportedly swept nearly six hundred plant workers suspected of being illegal immigrants while their "legal" counterparts applauded. That is, for lack of a better word, disgusting. No, this is not some sort of over told statement in which I will try to convince you that we should have open borders. Nor is this a rant on how I feel migrants without "papers" should be allowed to stay in the country. My objective is simply to get someone—anyone—to ponder the whole immigration controversy from an angle seldom expressed in the media. It is not about being legal or illegal, Mexican, German, Pacific Islander or American. It is a matter of being human, and it is about tolerance. Simple as that. Think of it this way: children in this town are now not only not being sent to school in fear of being deported, but many are also without their fathers, while their mothers have been released for "humanitarian" reasons, awaiting a court date while being forced to wear electronic monitoring bracelets as if they are dangerous criminals. Panic has swept the immigrant community of Laurel, Miss., and my money goes to say these people are even afraid to answer the door. How would I know? I have been there. When my family came to the United States in 1993, and Prop 187 was in full rage, I clearly remember living in constant fear, overhearing my parents trying to decide whether they should separate my brother and I so at least one of us could stay here in the event they got deported. Yes, my parents were illegal immigrants and so was I, and no, we didn't jump a fence. We simply came to this country as visitors and decided not to leave. For someone who teaches classes at Juvenile Hall, I know very well the importance of laws and the reason they must be followed—no argument there. When it comes to the over-beaten topic of immigration, however, there is so much more to it than the black-and-whiteness of "this is the law and you cannot be here," mentality. People from all over—namely Latin America—often leave fami- lies behind and risk their lives to cross a desert in hope ofbetter monetary opportunities in the United States. If you could trace your family tree back to when someone in your family immigrated to the US, feel free to ask them why they did so. It is not that they are trying to be defiant for no reason. It is because sometimes that is the only option they have. There is a horribly misconstrued stereotype surrounding illegal immigrants, portraying them as wanting to come to the United States solely for the purpose of stealing healthcare and education benefits, and of course to take the jobsfromAmericans. The fact is, however, that most, if not all, of the "desirable" jobs that Americans cherish so much require a social security number, not mention the mastery of the English language, something most immigrants do not haverightoff the bat. As opposed to another horrible stereotype, most children of illegal immigrants do not turn out to be criminals who clog our jails. Sure, there are a few bad apples who give the rest a bad name, but that goes with everything. In turn, most learn to take education very seriously and learn early on what hard work really feels like. When one grows up with very scarce opportunities, one learns to not take anything for granted, and learns that education is the only way out. What is most upsetting is not the fact that 600 immigrant are now facing deportation, or that some women were put on electronic monitoring bracelets, or that their children will be pulled away from their schools and homes— for many, the only home they have ever known. Rather, it is the intolerance and ignorance that came out of their co-workers. Applauding at someone else's misfortune is the most disturbing fact, because it shows people's inability to show a human side, to show compassion and to feel anything other than happiness at another person's expense. Like it or not, there are millions of illegal immigrants in this country already, and more and more keep coming in every single day. Out of those millions, most of their children will grow up to be hardworking, educated individuals. I know because I am a product of it and have lived it and grew up with it all around me. What we are is eager individuals who want to get ahead, who want to make something of ourselves so that the sacrifice of our parents was not in vain. And perhaps that is what America needs: more people who will contribute to the beautiful diversity of this country. And that, indeed, deserves applause. �OPINION THE PRIDE Autoraffictrocities ever A more painful than Campus t BY CRYSTAL EVANS Features Editor Every time the word parking is mentioned on campus, there are bound to be at least a few moans and groans, and often a muttered swear word or two. Parking is a heated subject among the college crowd. Not only do we pay an astronomical fee j ust to have the privilege of parking on campus, but it also wastes a good chunk of our time in the mornings. If your f irst class begins at 9 a.m., you can live five minutes away and it will still take you a good half an hour to get from your house to a parking space. However, even though we complain most loudly about finding parking, this is not really the issue. If you are willing to walk a little f urther there is always a space, even during the f irst weeks of school. It is getting to the parking that is the issue. Approximately half of the 30 minutes it takes to get to school are spent getting through the lights on Twin Oaks Valley Road. Every large planned project, such as the building of a University, has to be well planned in advance. According to the California Environmental Quality Act, the entity building the project must do an environmental survey of the lot they plan on developing, and provide mitigation measures to lessen the impact it will have on the surrounding area. Most of these mitigation measures are related to t raffic, meaning they have to widen roads, add turn lanes, retime t raffic lights or do whatever it is that is necessary to help keep traffic flowing. Unfortunately, Cal State apparently did not plan as well as they should have, as we have all been stopped at every single light on Twin Oaks pretty much every single day. And if the timing of the lights is not bad enough, once you get into the school Craven Road is always backed up because everyone is using the right lane and the flow of t raffic is disrupted by the stop signs. With the Campus Way exit off Barham Drive as the only other entrance to the school, it is no wonder the t raffic is always so bad in the mornings. Let's hope as the college expands and enrolls more students that something is done to reduce the amount of t raffic present in the mornings and make it easier for everyone to get to a parking space. Tuesday; September 2, The price we all pay McCain, Obama collide on coastal drilling BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Obama is for change and as I like to say, McCain will make it rain. Yes that is a hip hop reference. I would first like to state that this is an opinion piece that I happen to be writing. I encourage you to form your own opinion and do more research on the issue if you desire. Write to the editor or go a step further and write for your school paper. There is a voice to be heard and that is your voice, our voice, a Cougar voice. Regardless of your political affiliation, if you are a donkey or an elephant or neither, discussing these issues is important as the deadline nears for the next president. A good place for finding relevant information on matters such as these is Google News. Offshore drilling? What is it? Well, there is available oil on the shorelines of the United States. While the effect would not be instant, ultimately, drilling offshore would lower gas prices stateside. Even though I drive a Honda Civic that gets 35 miles per gallon, I didn't like paying $5 this summer for gas and more recently $ 4.1 care about the envi- ronment but I care about the people in the environment even more. I hope research continues and automobile manufactures constantly work on improving their MPG. In the meantime I want the U.S. to become less dependent on foreign oil. McCain seems to agree. He wants states to be able to drill offshore. President Bush's recent announcement of his plans to do so sent the crude oil price stumbling down. Imagine how much fur• ther prices would descend if we actually began drilling. However, McCain doesn't want the states to be forced. That is why his plan simply allows states to drill offshore if they willingly chose to. Obama and McCain disagree. Obama wants to focus renewable energy resources. The both seem like possible solutions to our current gas crunch. I wish we could combine both ideas, t hat would really be a perfect solution. Both candidates are going to say things that they are not going to be able to do. This happens with all politicians regardless if they are red or blue. Don't give up. Don't lose hope. People die for your right to be able to vote. Come December, help decided who our next president is going to be and cast your vote. 0 m.

But not only that, he is in the hopes and dreams, the competence and courage, the Tightness and readiness of Barack Obama," declared Martin Luther King III. MLK's daughter, Rev. Bernice King, marked Thursday as "one of our nation's greatest defining moments." In 1963, Martin Luther King dreamed for change. Today, Obama pledges to be the "change you can believe in." From DNC, page 1 of the convention. Still, some Clinton supporters have been reluctant to throw in their lot with Obama after Clinton suspended her campaign in June and endorsed Obama. Since then, Clinton and Obama have worked to mend the rift in the party that formed throughout the primary season, though some voters insist they plan on writing Clinton in or voting for McCain. In her speech on Aug. 26 at the convention, Clinton addressed these disaffected supporters saying, "Whether you voted for me, or voted for Barack, the time is now to unite as a single party with a single purpose." "Barack Obama is my candidate. And he must be our President." The effect of the DNC on voters remains to be seen, though candidates typically experience a "bounce", or slight jump in the polls following their party's convention. McCain's announcement of Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate on the day after Photo retrievedfrom democraticunderground.com Obama's acceptance speech may complicate this however, as media coverage of this eclipsed post-DNC coverage on Aug. 29. In response to Obama's acceptance speech, the McCain campaign issued the following statement on Aug. 28 : "Tonight, Americans witnessed a misleading speech that was so fundamentally at odds with the meager record of Barack Obama. When the temple comes down, the fireworks end, and the words are over, the facts remain: Senator Obama still has no record of bipartisanship, still opposes offshore drilling, still voted to raise taxes on those making just $42,000 per year, and still voted against funds for American troops in harm's way. The fact remains: Barack Obama is still not ready to be President." The Republican National Convention will take place this coming week from Sept. 1 to Sept. 4 in Saint Paul Minnesota. �THE PRIDE Mentorship opens f or juniors and seniors BY JACKIE CARBAJAL News Editor The Faculty Mentorship Program (FMP) is currently accepting applications for anyfirstgeneration or financially disadvantaged juniors and seniors for the fall 2008 semester.

It is by far the best way to get to know a potential partner. Unfortunately, the cost of dating has soared with the price of everything else. The classic dinner and a movie date will easily cost over $50 and if you want to go out for drinks the tab can quickly hit the $100 mark. However, dating doesn't have to break the bank. With a little creativity you can come up with amazing dates that don't cost a lot. Local Bands- Several venues host local bands with cheap covers. The Jumping Turtle, located off Rancho Santa Fe, hosts a variety of rock bands and generally has a cover under $10. They also provide decently priced drinks and a full restaurant.

With over ten scheduled events that run f rom Sept. 3rd through the beginning of December, CSUSM organized a unique lineup that showcases local talents indulging in their creative spirits. Performances range f rom short f ilms, to a j azz trio and even interactive art segments. " It's really a unique series, it's FREE!" said Karen Schaffman, the current chair member of the A rts and Lectures Series Committee. "The series is committee driven, people propose ideas and we make them happen," S chaffman continued to say about the passion the committee has for organizing the performances.

Maybe it's because they use filtered water instead of tap water for their dough or because the pizza sauce is made fresh with whole tomatoes (I personally think what sets them apart is their brick ovens, a rare luxury these days). Whatever the reason, Station Pizza, themed around the Grand Central Station in New York, is definitely a place to check out. They have some great deals going on that will make your visit worthwhile. 12 different types of pizza ranging from cheese to buffalo chicken and back again are available by either the slice or the whole pie for a price even a starving college student can afford. Speaking of college students, anybody who goes to Station Pizza and shows his/her CSUSM Student ID gets two slices and a drink for only $5! And these aren't tiny slices we are talking about, each is a good 9" of true New York Pizza. They also have 28" pies for anyone planning on pigging out or throwing a party. That means each slice is over a foot long, for those of you who are sick of your math courses. But don't think for a moment they only have pizza. They have great sandwiches, salads, pasta and even some delectable appetizers to choose from as well. They even have a good selection of beers to choose from. Visit Station Pizza, chat it up with the owner, enjoy the nice atmosphere. Once you go there I'm sure you'll want to be heading back there again and again. They're just three miles off campus, easily accessible with the help of a car. And if you don't have a car, or maybe you just don't feel like driving, no worries, they deliver also. You can find them at 1531 W. Mission Rd, or simply order up by dialing 760-891-0100. This is definitely the place to go if you need some good party food, or are just tired of eating the same old slop everyday. lia FOUNDER'S PLAZA Tues, Sept 2 - wed.

Radiohead's opening act, Liars, an Australian band that seemed out of place took a droning tone to their vocals. Their sound was gothic, and their performance was less than satisfactory. Occasional wolf howl screams performed by lead singer/ guitarist Angus Andrew and song titles such as "freak out" set no melodic mood for Radiohead's vocalist Thom Yorke's raw sound. At 8:30 p.m., Radiohead began their 25 song set list with "15 Steps" from there latest album "In Rainbows" and was followed by "Air Bag" which was featured on "Ok Computer" that made its debut in 1997. The stage was decorated with LED screens that draped across the backdrop, with each screen focused directly on each band member, changing color along each r iff and note played harmoniously. Soft blues to deep reds, neon colors flickered I M to black arid white silhouettes of drummer Phil Selway, guitarists Ed O'Brien and Jonny Greenwood and bassist Colin Greenwood. The show peaked at the sixth song, "Talk Show Host," which was featured on 1996 soundtrack for the film "Romeo and Juliet". The crowd immediately recognized the intro and excitedly welcomed the song with cheers and praise. Simple utters of "thanks", were the only words uttered by Yorke throughout the show. The set list continued with popular singles such as "Jigsaw Falling into Place" and "Just." Sadly, Radiohead missed favorites such as "Karma Police" and "Creep." The show slowly ended with the song, "Everything in its Right Place," in their final encore at 11:30 p.m. "The show was really pretty exciting, the screens in the background really made me feel like I was closer to the stage!" said Vanessa, a Radiohead fan that enjoyed the show in the theatre's 300th row. Radiohead quietly advocated their involvement with an MTV program called "Exit," to raise awareness for human trafficking and exploitation at their concert Wednesday with pamphlets dispersed throughout concert grounds, but they made no verbal mention of it during the performance.

Manneken Brussel Imports Inc., out of Austin, Texas, imports the genuine German hefeweizen. Georg I. Schneider began the brewery in 1872. The 136 year old brewery remains family owned and operated Georg VI. Schneider currently oversees the company. Hi-Time Wine Cellars in Costa, Mesa, sells 23fluidounce single bottles. The daik brown glass bottle displays a mint green label with shiny gold outlines. A cream and green colored bottle cap seals an ale with 6.2% alcohol by volume. The organic beer pours mildly smooth creating a three quarters inch thick head. Surprisingly, the head retreats within a few minutes leaving a solid lancet. The rich golden textured ale releases an exceedingly bitter aroma. A visual inspection of the recently poured brew excites the brain and taste buds. Most ales appear soft and transparent However, the ale's murky appearance distinguishes itself from the majority of ales on the market today. The beer enters sweet and soothing like the beginning of any popular fairy tale. A brief moment passes before a prickly wave washes over all areas of the mouth. The organic brew tastes extremely yummy as peculiar flavors of wheat, malt, barley, and hops swash around. The hps and tongue smack in sheer joy. Longer gulps generate a prolonged shocking sensation to the taste buds. Completion of the beer satisfies the stomach without creating a bloated feeling. Given the ales mild density the beer should pair well with lunches and light dinners such as chicken and fish.

Q a Tuesday, September 2, 2008 Cruisin' Grand A i IJ BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER A&E Editor My first experience with Cruisin' Grand was completely by accident. My friend and I were looking for a place to hang out while we were in Escondido. We had heard there was an Irish pub on Grand Ave. The evening seemed normal enough exiting the freeway and looking for the correct street and then we fell into a time warp. As my friend and I turned onto Grand Ave that a hot summer Friday night I realized we had wondered into the movie "American Graffiti" come to life. THE PRIDE American and international hot rods cruisin' up and down the main drag, parked along the Grand Ave and lined up along the side streets. Since that moment I have been a fan. I am a confessed lover of American muscle cars and enjoy a good car show, but what I love most about cruisin' Grand is the feeling that for one night a week in the summer I get to be a part of history come to life. Cruisin' Grand is a community event that attracts families and car lovers from all over San Diego County. Every Friday night from 5-9 p.m. from April through September hot rodders descend on Grand Avenue in Escondido to parade their beautiful pre 1974 classic cars. Grand Avenue from Orange Street to Ivy is lined with spectators and car owners examining the stunning cars. The city of Escondido posts changes to the schedule and provides a map for parking along with all the need to know dos and don'ts for the events on www. downtownescondido.com/cruisin. html. Nights are dedicated to specialty car clubs and kinds of cars. This September schedule begins Friday the 5th of September with Classic Fire Trucks and Police cars along with desert off road vehicles. September 12th is Packard night hosted by Packards International Motorcar club and San Diego Miata Club. September 19th is Nitro Night hosted by The Palomar Mountain V8s and special guests the oldest lowridercar club, The Dukes. Winners Circle is September 26th finishing the summer by giving die winners a chance to show off their prize automobiles one last time until next April. • •MÜH MB XJ f® MARRIED LIFE GRADE: C- This dark comedy staring Pierce Brosnan and Chris Cooper is about life in 1940's suburbia and a man's deceptive plot to kill his wife.

Her life becomes a wreck around meeting her birth mother, played by Better Midler, going through a divorce, and going back and forth between two affairs. Ultimately the characters are not engaging, and so is the movie. From the very beginning this film fails. The story of two menfightingfor a job is not clever and unoriginal. The plot of this office comedy does not have any depth and fails on its weak attempts at comedy.

The participants learned how to teach entrepreneurs and how to develop the real skills for managing effectively. They visited with COBAfaculty where they will learned about unique, hands-on, educational programs and reviewed computer technology applications at CSUSM. The participants arefromthe Morozov Project and their visit here was coordinated through the Foundation for Enterprise Development of La Jolla. The goal of the three-year-old initiative is to train a critical mass of entrepreneurs and business leaders in Russia who will promote democratic change by creating jobs and business in a free market. A network of 35 Business Training Centers (BTCs) has been established in various Russian regions. The group visiting CSUSM consists of 30 trainers from these BTCs. They will use the information gained during the visit to teach clients at their respective BTCs when they go back to Russia. The Morozov Project is a Russian national project, actively supported by the US Agency for International Development, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and a group of researchers and specialists from the West. This particular program is part of the Academy of Management and the Market of the Morozov Project. The Foundation for Enterprise Development provides practical information and assistance to help companies implement equity-based compensation and strategies for involving employees in improving business operations.

Million-dollar donor dies Honorary dinner is rescheduled for this Friday By Paul Hilker Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos President Dr. Bill Stacy announced July 24th that the university received a $1 million endowment from Donald and Marie Van Ness of Rancho Bernardo. Just one month later, on Aug. 25, Marie Gloria Orpall Van Ness passed away after a long battle with Parkinson's disease. A CSUSM Founders' dinner was postponed from the initial date of Aug 31 due to her death. The dinner was rescheduled and will be held in the Van Ness' honor Sept 22. The gift is the largest donation received by the school from any private donor, and will fund programs in entrepreneurial studies and t he College of Business. The Van Nesses, founders of CSUSM, have been long-time advocates and patrons of various b usiness e stablishments and higher education throughout San Diego, according to university officials. They have worked together to createthe International Donald VanNess and his wife Marie, who died recently after battling Parkinson's. Institute for Entrepreneurs, a support program for men and women going into private business. The Van Nesses are a model of integrity to the community, according to Jane Lynch, director of university development. "I think that the Van Ness' support and generosity serves as an example to other individuals and organizations in North County that higher education at CSUSM is worth their time and support.," she said. T hey've spent a great deal of their lives supporting philanthropic causes t hroughout Southern California." H ie issue of private donation is one of great concern to Cal State San Marcos. Lynch asserted the fact that "Every donation, regardless of its size, is greatly needed and appreciated since state funds insufficiently cover all of the needs of the university." Other donations to CSUSM have been made by Bill Daniels ($250,000), Ella J. T hedinga ($500,000), Ken Markstein (a tenyear $100,000 donation), and many others. The Van Nesses began were married in 1937, and with very little money built their wealth by heading a succession of businesses. A few of their past ventures include an international insurance network, an 80-acre farm in Illinois and their last business, which they sold in 1989 — a dry cleaning plant in Illinois. They moved to North County from Chicago in 1977. Don Van Ness continues to live in t he couple's Rancho Bernardo home. Greeks hold first campus rush By GregHoadley Staff Writer The signs were seen in the student parking lot, approaching the stairs leading up to campus — the large Greek insignias in colored chalk, includingthelarge "RUSH," signifying Cal State San Marcos'sfirstRush Week, which ended last Friday. Rush Week is the process by which campus fraternities and sororities select their new members. Throughout last week, potential members entered their bids for the sorority or fraternity they wanted to join. While the men's initiation was less structured, with bids coming at the end of t he week, t he women started earlier in the week. Potential membersfilledout preference cards indicating which sorority they preferred. There are two fraternities on campus, Tal Kappa Epsilon and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and two sororities for women, Alpha Chi Omega and AlphaXi Delta. Events included a "velcro w air event at the San M arcos city gymnasium last Wednesday. "Rush Week prepares the new members for a lifetime commit- Trlsh Nagy/staff Photographer Tal Kappa Epsilon brothers challenge their coordination on a velcro wall. m ent," e xplained S tephanie Moore, Alpha Xi Delta president. "It is really special." Benefits and responsibilities of t he Greek lifestyle include lifelong friendships and community work, such as t he planned installation of an on-campus volleyball court, and workshops on current issues, as well as a support group for fellow members. "They always check up on each other to see if they're studying when they should be, things like that," said Cherine Heckman, who is Cal State San Marcos's Greek adviser. Greek life is by no means just work and study. Tal Kappa Epsilon recently held a beach bonfire, for example, and all of the organizations plan their own recreational activities which promote pride in their fraternity or sorority. �The annaul Cal State San Marcos pow wow takes place Oct. 7 and 8, and will feature food, festivities and dancing. Pow wow returns in early October By Carrie Tyler Staff Writer The enchanting sounds of dancing, singing and celebrating will ehco through the hills and valley as Cal State San Marcos holds its third annual PowWow Oct. 7 and 8. TheeventreplacestheannualQuestival, which has been rescheduled for next spring. The occasion will bring together American Indian tribal members from various states along with those native to San Marcos, the Luisenos, to share and celebrate their diverse cultural expressions with the University and the community. The PowWow begins at 11 a.m. Oct. 7, with Grand Entry at 1 and 7 p.m, ending at midnight and then resuming again the following day with closing ceremonies at 6 p.m. Featured dances will include various intertribal dances, t he gourd dance, woman's shawl dance and the grass dance. Also included will be a dance honoring the deceased, a marraige, or other special oc- casion, and a dance honoring the event's planning committee. Along with dancing there will be Kumeyaay and Intertribal Bird singers performing. Various tribes will also perform drum music throughout the celebration, and American Indian arts and crafts will be on display along with many tribal delicacies. Altogether there will be approximately 50 booths offering crafts, food and service organizations. The expected turnout is approximately 8,000, according to event coordinator Bonnie Biggs. While this event marks CSUSM's third pow wow, it also marks the university's eighth year of presenting American Indian events. "It is important for CSUSM that the Indian community knows that we are here for them,* explained Biggs, "that we are a place for their children to consider for their education. We are here to serve their community's needs."

Call Joyce at 750-4998 �History in the making David Taylor/Staff Photographer A breath of fresh air DITORIAL Students have, once again, made history at Cal State San Marcos. This fall, the university welcomed m 1 its f irst f reshman and sophomore classes. This accomplishment equals the importance of two other major events for the campus — the opening of the university itself in 1990 and the opening of the main campus two years later. While the importance of those milestones is undisputed, the acceptance of freshmen and sophomores holds an importance that eclipses the university's opening. A university does not exist without people. l ike the first students to attend CSUSM in 1990, and those that followed at the new campus in 1992, the freshman and sophomore classes add their own style of enthusiasm and life to the university. Their enthusiasm is unrelenting. The makeup of The Prided staff is a prime example. This newspaper has struggled to survive since 1993. Staffs have been small, if nonexistent. Not this semester. The newspaper begins its third year of publication with an unprecedented 16 staff members, the great majority of those beingfreshmen.Needless to say, they are a welcome asset. With their enthusiasm and willingness to do their best, The Pride looks forward to producing the best student publication ever for the CSUSM community. As for the rest of campus, the freshman and sophomore classes will make their mark in this institution's history by virtue of simply being here. To the classes of 1998 and 1999, welcome. We are glad you are here. <! EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Roman S. Koenig BUSINESS MANAGER Joyce Kolhe NEWS EDITOR Tony Barton ON-LINE EDITOR TyCarss FEATURE EDITOR John Loch ENTERTAINMENT EDITORS Jill Ballard, Julia McKinlay LAYOUT EDITOR ToddFederman It's not easy switching history hats. Thatmay seemlike ameaningless term, but i fs the best way to describe what 1995 has been like for me. I've always had a thing for history, especially when it comes to the schools I have attended over the years. This year, for example, marks the 50th anniversary of Palomar College, just across the freewayfromus. As past editor of that institution's student newspaper, The Telescope, and as an employee of the journalism department for almost two years (my work ended last spring), I was given the honor of being a contributing author for the school's 50th anniversary anthology. My section of the book, of course, dealt with the history of The Telescope. It took nearly the entire 1994-95 school year to compile the mountainous load of information about the paper. Along the way, I was able to come as close to living those days of the past as anyone my age can g et While it was a daunting task, it was an enjoyable one. I learned a lot about how my predecessors dealt with issues of censorship and news coverage. Most importantly, I had the opportunity to investigate in-depth how the newspaper covered the major events that shaped Palomar College into the institution it is today. Now comes the beginning of the 199596 academic year of the still-young Cal State San Marcos. I return for my final semester here as editor of The Pride, and this time my position is reversed. Instead of being the one writing about the past, I'm the one observing and recording history in the making. I've traded in one history hat for another. After nearly a year of dealing strictly with events that have already happened, I have to adjust to observing those same kinds of events happening in the now. In my academic career here, Ihave witnessed the opening of the permanent campus, the turmoil over Proposition 167 and, this year, the arrival of CSUSM's firstfreshmanand vfmanS. H JIF OENIG sophomore classes. Instead of researching history already recorded, my staff and I are recorders ourselves. What we write — the stories we cover—will no doubt be material for this university's 50th anniversary anthology. It's a position I am proud to be in. Working on Palomar's anthology has given me a new perspective aboutCSUSM. Here, students, faculty and staff are working to secure a solid future for this university. My work on the campus newspaper over the last three years has been part of that, but now I look on my work in a new way. I was never really aware before that 50 yearsfromnow my name—like many, many others on this campus — might be looked up in a heap of old documents to be resurrected as a symbol of a past long gone. Now that scares me. When I looked up the names of The Telescope's past editors, I couldn't help but wonderwhat some of them were doing today. Fortunately, many are still active members of the local journalism scene. Others faded into obscurity. No matter. The important thing is that they helped build a solid educational foundation based on excellence, and that's exactly what's happening here at this university. Perhaps thaf s the most important thing of all to remember — now and forever. Happy birthday, Palomar.

THE PRIDE �Campus leaders welcome students President Stacy urges students •Get involved/says new student to think and act 'anew' thisyear president Charles Ragland Niank you for asking me to take part in this first issue of T he Pride, and thanks to Roman Koenig for taking on the work of its editor this academic year. T he beginning of the school year is the most exciting time for me, like New Year's is for everybody else. I love seeing the campus filled with students after a quiet summer spent planning for your arrival. This year, we began the semester with a State of the University Address which listed for all of us some of our accomplishments of the past year, some of our "undones," and the hard and exciting work we face in the coming year. I cited Dr. Bill Stacy, university president Abraham Lincoln to remind us of the need to think anew and act anew. The quotation comes from Lincoln's challenge of December, 1862 to the Congress and the nation. It seems somehow appropriate to higher education's 1995 California climate: ' The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present... and we must rise with t he occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew." The case for CSUSM is still new in a climate charged with fiscal uncertainties and emotional anxieties. Still, we retain fpr a little while the uncommon opportunity in academe, as Lincoln put it, to think anew and act anew. "We must rise to the occasion." As we begin 1995-96,1 have asked for help in leading this campus forward. I want to think anew about a culture of civility, a renewed commitment toward a "studentfriendly" campus climate, better utilization of consultation and collaboration, closer touch with the campus by helping teach a class (thanks to Dr. Michael Huspek for offering the opportunity to spend a bit of time in a classroom again) and a better approach to respect differences while building on the concepts of "one individual among many." I hope you will accept some of this challenge as your own as you make your way across this emerging campus and find the opportunities to participate in the learning and teaching dialogues that take place here. Again, thank you for the opportunity to say hello and welcome. Bill W.Stacy President, California State University San Marcos . n behalf of the Associated Students, welcome to new students — and to continuing students, welcome back.

Charles Ragland President, Associated Students o Robbing Congress to pay Barney just doesn't cut the mustard anymore By Greg Hoadley Staff Writer In the current budget battles being fought in Washington DC, the Republican leadership h as decided that funding for such programs as t he Corporation for Public Broadcasting, National Endowment for the Humanities and National Endowmentfor t he Arts shall be spared with only minor in spending, after they had promised to cut such programs outright. Under the newly-proposed budget for 1996, spending on these programs will total $438 million. The Republicans blew i t The federal government h as become too big ($1.6 trillion, in fact) and really h as no business funding arts. It is a waste of money better spent elsewhere (or not spent at all), and many of t he funded arts could do quite well in a capitalist environment. Granted, $438 million is a small number when compared to the rest of the federal budget, which includes some $400 billion-plus in Social Security and $250 billionplus in defense. However, t he US government h as not balanced its budget since 1969, and $438 million is $438 million, no matter how you look at i t Arts funding should be seen for what it i s—a luxury item. Continued spending on luxury items in the face of debt is irresponsible. Period. As a college student, look at your own situation. If you are in debt, you keep what you need (food, clothing, etc.) and you toss what you only think you need (the latest Pearl Jam CD). A few months ago, I got a good laugh as I watched Congresswoman Nita Lowey (D-New York) accuse Republicans of trying to "kill Big Bird" and other arts funding as she held up a Big Bird doll for emphasis. There are two false assumptions here. One, shows like "Sesame Street" and "Barney" cannot survive without our tax dollars, and two, all the "art" generated by the NEA, NEH and CPB is worth its weight in gold. However, if Americans knew that their tax dollars were used to fund such "art" as a crucifix in a jar of urine, the infamous Robert Maplethorpe photos (too lewd to describe here), or even the distribution of $10 bills to illegal aliens (each of these projects received federal grants), they would then see that government-funded art is not just "Barney" and "Masterpiece Theatre." As you can see, much of it also goes against our societal standards of decency. Granted, t hese are the exception and not the rule. Some of this art is of high quality. This leads to my next point Some of the better material (especiallyfromPBS) would thrive in a capitalist society. For example, "Sesame Street" and "Barney" do not need any more funds to continue production. They have reaped enough profit to pay for themselves many times over. Also, channels offering programs similar to PBS, such as Nickelodeon (for children), the Discovery Channel and the Learning Channel, have done quite well on their own. The arts are important to our society. No one this side of Jesse Helms feels otherwise, but funding for it belongs in the private sector. If such art is deemed wholesome and fulfilling, it will have its financial support Just ask House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who has promised to give $10,000 of his money to public broadcasting over the next five years. �Tcrnk Three literature professors bring the west alive for the east By John Loch Feature Editor Most of us would not have a clue if someone asked us if we had caught our weekly installment of "Lost in California."

The newspa- per said they wanted a female voice, and Laurel Amtower was recruited. Her stories hit close to home with female readers and received a generous response. Shortly thereafter, Ken Mendoza was added and dazzled readers with stories of life in America's old west. Most of the readers of Asahi Weekly are seemingly fond of American culture. The stories submitted each week by the three professors keep readers coming back for more, and judging by readers' responses the authors could be around for awhile.

Most of the emphasis in the media is directed toward the benefits to physical health such as heart disease, high blood pressure and weight control. Frequently, students are surprised to learn the amazing benefit to one's mental health with exercise. Inthebackofourminds we all realize that we generally feel better if we are regularly exercising. In fact, exercise is a treatment or at least part of the treatment for stress reduction, anxiety disorders, and depression. Since depression is very common and h as a significant impact on the individual and society, I will discuss the role of exercise in the treatment of depression. Many are not aware that approximately 5 percent of men and 10 percent of women will have a major depression in their lifetime. Also, these percentages seem to be rising. Of people who have major depression unfortunately about 15 percent will commit suicide. The cost to society with medical and occupational factors included is about $40 4 5 billion. Thankfully, treatment is usually very successful and improving each year. Research indicates that exercise is a veryfavorabletreatment for mild to moderate depression. It is even better combined with the usual treatments: psychotherapy and medication. Interestingly, the studies that demonstrate this best was performed on college professors and college students. The good news is that even after the studies were finished (usually after 6-12 weeks), the benefits continued if the subjects continued to exercise. Why exercise is effective is unknown. There are proposed psychological and biological explanations. Today, we are gaining an improved understanding of the relationship of the brain's JNOLDS neurotransmitters and depression. Most researches believe that exercise has a direct effect on the neurotransmitters by improvingthe transmission of these s ubstances a nd a lleviating d epression's symptoms. Research continues in order to unravel this picture. You may have heard all this before, but once again, something as simple as regular exercise has incredible benefitto one's health. We are not sure of the mechanism but it is safe to say that exercise is an important component in the treatment of depression. It also may be one of few preventive therapies for those who are not clinically depressed. Dr. Joel Grinolds is director of Student Health Services.

The cry for democracy and independence was commemorated on campus Thursday, September 16, during noon hour in front of the Dome. Alongside ASF's cookout and players strategizing over a game of chess, Ballet Folklorico Mixtlan and M.E.Ch.A (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan) provided music, regional dances of Mexico, and poetry to a cheery and relaxed audience of students, faculty and staff. Members of Ballet Folklorico, a group which began at CSU San Marcos in 1998, are often seen practicing outside the third floor of Craven Hall. The white dance costumes reflect the styles of the tropical Veracruz region of Mexico. It is a region whose beat is said to resemble the waves of the ocean. Colorful dresses with bright ribbons worn by other dancers identify dancers of the Jalisco region whose musical accompaniment is the Mariachi. The "Jarabe Tapatio" was performed by students Victor Vasquez and Lili Rodriguez, a duo on and off stage. Widely known as the National Dance of Mexico, the "Jarabe Tapatio" was originally influenced by Asian culture about 300 years ago. "La Negra," an all-women dance, showed off the beauty of costume, spirit, and movement found within so many other aspects of Mexican culture. Jose Servin, the group's dance instructor from Mexico City, has been dancing now for six years. Servin spoke of such instruments as the harp, Inter-Club Council Kicks Off By Trevor Knudsen "Jarana," the guitar-like "Requinto Jarocho" from the Jalisco region and described the culture of the rural Tixla-Guerrero region. Mexican Independence Day signifies a continuous call to overcome struggle. Three centuries of Spanish rule, 1521-1821, would not have ended if it had not been for many great Mexican figures including Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla. The "founding father" of the Mexican independence cause, Hidalgo rallied the Mexican people in the town of Dolores in 1810. Himself a "Criollo" (Spaniard born in Mexico), Hidalgo was decapitated by the "Gachupines," the ruling Spaniards born in Spain. Hidalgo's famous speech "El Grito de Dolores" is recreated every year on the night before Mexican-American Celebration of Mexican Culture Mexican Independence Day by the President of Mexico. What began in 1810 would continue for eleven more years of fighting across not just Mexico but the whole of Latin America. How do students keep a connection with Mexican culture? Sonia Gutierrez, a CSUSM alumna, described these kinds of events as First Annual Child Trot Fest PRIDE STAFF WRITER The Inter-Club Council (ICC) held its first meeting on Friday, September 10. At the meeting, Dean Manship, the new ICC chairman, said that the primary purpose of the ICC is to improve campus life. After introductions, the bulk of the meeting involved deciding the policy details of approving funding for club-sponsored events. Since the student fee referendum passed, the ICC now has a budget from Associated Students Inc. (ASI) of $50,000 to fund club- sponsored events. With this budget increase, the ICC now has more potential to support clubs, provide entertainment and services for students, and help create more student involvement on campus. Beyond simply funding club events, the Inter-Club Council is also a forum for clubs to work together and exchange ideas. It meets every other Friday at 1:30 in Commons 206 to discuss new ideas, take care of ICC administration, and approve event funding. PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride On September 25, 1999, the Associated Students Incorporated of California State University, San Marcos will be having "The First Annual Child Trot Fest". The event will begin at 9:00 am and will continue through 12 noon. Participating children range from two through five years of age. These children and their parents will face the challenge of walking as many laps around the Olympic University Track as possible. The funds raised will provide financial support for needed classroom equipment, classroom supplies and playground equipment for the ASI Early Learning Center. The Associated Students, Inc., California State University, San Marcos, Early Learning Center (ASI Early Leaning Center) is a non-profit child development center serving 100 families (primarily university student parents) with children ages two to five years of age. The mission of the ASI Early Learning Center is to provide an enriched educational program that promotes selfesteem and creativity as well as social, emotional, cognitive and physical growth through hands-on experience. The ASI Early Learning Center is asking for contributors willing to Sponsor a child to walk. Pledges begin at $10 and the goal is to have each child raise $100.00. Pledge forms are available in the ASI Service Window and the ASI CSUSM Early Learning Center. The list of donors sponsoring the event include Aztec Shops, Fish House Vera Cruz, Home Town Buffet Pure Digital, San Diego Zoo, and Wild Animal Park.

This is in your favor since you want to meet her. I am all f or being open and honest with people so I recommend that you approach her nicely and tell her that you find h er incredibly attractive. This first meeting is a careful dance where you have to j udge how she responds to you.

The dispatcher is available 24/7 and he/she will decide what is an emergency. Lt. Glen of the campus police has stressed the importance of using this number only in the case of a legitimate emergency such as injury, fire, or other such life-threatening situations in which a family member off campus needs to be able to reach a student. Calling the number to ask a student to "stop off after class and get milk" is NOT an emergency!! Please instruct fam ily members accordingly. PRIDE STAFF WRITER PRIDE STAFF WRITER Emergency Contact Information By Gail Skennion Disasters strike at any time and at any place, don't be left unprepared. We all know that earthquakes, car accidents, or even a dead car battery can occur at the most inopportune time, but you can take action to prevent injury and embarrassment. There are a few items that you should have with you during your commute. The following items are recommended by American Red Cross: Students coming from Temecula may be interested in alternate routes to the campus: Several may be considered by those wanting to avoid the traffic on 78W or to go around an accident scene. (There is no guarantee that any of the alternate routes are better during peak traffic times in the morning.) 2.Traveling south on 15, exit El Norte Pkwy and go right (which is West).

See CONSTRUCTION, page 3 Craven Hall to get face l ift Renovation to focus on office space and organization BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Staff Writer With the completion of the Markstein Hall, formerly known as the Business Building, construction at CSUSM will shift elsewhere. A number of projects are scheduled to be underway as of early 2006, including additional parking spaces and the construction of a licensed day-care center for children up to age five. Yet the most anticipated project to begin with the New Year will be the renovation of the 1, 3, and 4floorsof Craven Hall. Plans for the renovation have been in the works for a number of years, with the money for it being allotted from Proposition 55, which provided finances for the renovation and improvement of schools statewide. Among the improvements being planned with the renovation is the creation of a "one-stop shop" in the old library where students can register, pay Sundance Channel comes to campus PAGE 4 See CRAVEN, page 3 Sign up today far intramural sports PAGE 7 Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride "Lard Of War" movie review PAGE 12 �Pi^Bride £ Editorial staff g |¡ Editor-in-Chief MekELe^ Layout Design & Fbotò Editor I*$m Encabo Hews Editor ¡1 Features Editor ZacharyJ.

TURNER Pride Staff Writer Managing Bditor J IR$Q»EÉINÍ L /5 Voter registration BY TRACEY M. TURNER Pride Staff Writer Members of Lobby Corps, a committee of ASI, will conduct a voter registration drive on campus. Registration will be held at least two days a week leading up to the Nov. 8 elections. The goal is to increase student voting. Members of the committee have also planned two debates over the propositions and ordered voter information guides, for non-partisan educational materials from the Secretary of State. Committee members have set a tentative goal of registering 750 students to vote and will be out on campus every week on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to reach the goal, which is "a match of last years total," said Joe Wager, Public Relations Director for Lobby Corps. Wager and two other committee members attended specialized voter registration training "to learn effective ways of reaching voters." According to ASI, Lobby Corps works on behalf of CSU students to "communicate student relevant legislation [...] and to aid in political forums, voter registration and publicity mechanisms on campus." Volunteers are welcome, as they hope to expand the voter registration program to more days per week. Call (760) 750-6001. Among recent turbulence in Supreme Court and discussion of the Equal Rights Amendment, ASI will present two on-campus events this week discussing the Constitution. The events are a part of a new CSU Constitution education program requirement and also to commemorate this past weekend's National Constitution Day (Sept. 17). According to Cheyenne Barr, CSUSM Director of Women's Issues for the ASI Programming Board and CoCoordinator of the ASI Women's Center, many parties colN laborated on this effort and "came together to discuss how we [as a school] could put on events to publicize the Constitution."

Williams said he harbors no ill feelings towards the officers involved in his stop and subséquent arrest. "I feel sad for them, I pray for them, and I forgive them," Williams said of the four officers adding, "I'll never forget what they did, but I forgive them." When asked if the police department was going to offer an official apology to Williams, Woodard said no. Woodard added he would like the campus community to know, "Were going to continue what we've always done, this case was an aberration that had little if anything to do with the conduct of officers in this department." Williams says he plans to, "focus on school, graduate, and sign with a record label." "Its time for people to start questioning," said Williams adding, "Racism is still alive in America." When asked about the implementation of recommendations for change within the police department Woodard said, "We're going to improve communications with the community we serve, and we have a lot of that in place already. You're going t o see more of us, not more in numbers, but see us more often, and we're going to start programs like the citizen academy, to have people come over and see what we do."

CA 92008 ; �CONSTRUCTION, from page 1 The influence of worried citizens concerned over the destruction of scenic landscape within the San Marcos helped enact the Ridgeline Protection Ordinance, limiting construction on ridgelines throughout the city. Twelve ridges have been identified as being scenically important for preservation, including those visible along Twin Oaks Valley Road and towering above Cal State San Marcos. Under the ordinance developers will be limited to certain types of architecture and design that blends in with the surrounding natural landscape, as well as being denied the right to build multistory structures. Building projects also have to be built significantly below visible ridgelines, with future projects barred from within 100 feet of guarded ridges. Among those projects under way to preserve the scenic views around San Marcos is a proposed recreational park, to be established not far from Cal State San Marcos. The proposed park would encompass Discovery Lake with nearby South Lake, linking the two currently undeveloped areas by way of a 100-acre park. With development set to begin in the next five years, the park would ultimately be comprised of literally miles and miles of trails flanked by natural coastal chaparral and picnic areas. Some of San Marcos' most scenic ridges will also be included in the project. Cal State San Marcos has yet to be contacted by those in charge of the Ridgeline Protection Ordi- CRAVEN, from page 1 for classes, and obtain information all in one location. Easier access through Craven Hall and an improved courtyard are all on the agenda for this renovation. "It's going to be kind of messy f or a while," said Bradly Fenton, the chief architect of the renovation, "but it should go quickly." Students may find many of the offices they were familiar with in Craven Hall elsewhere during spring and fall of 2006, but the RUSH, from page 1 Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride Perspective of business building construction from inside, nance, according to Decker, who notes that CSUSM "hasn't had to change any plans." Still, Pecker's organization has an interest in preserving the scenery around the campus. For example, the NCTD was denied permission by Cal State San Marcos to build a 30-foot tower on one of the peaks near campus since it would be an eyesore. Looking to the future, Decker says that at the moment there is an intention to put trails leading from the campus to the tops of nearby peaks. "It would be great if they were integrated," said Decker of the speculative future trails at Cai State San Marcos and the trail system being developed between Discovery Lake and South Lake. When finished, CSUSM will encompass over 300 acres of land with enrollments in the vicinity of 25,000 students. Such growth will continue to bring the campus into association with local projects in San Marcos. improvements are intended to outweigh such inconveniences. Although the main renovations will be focused on the offi<^ space and organization of Craven Hall, Fenton says that the interior in general will also be upgraded and will be comparable to the inside of the new Library. Plans for the renovation of began back in 1998 but it takes "at least 4 years [to obtain] funds," said Fenton. The Craven Hall project is set to begin in March 2006 and last through October of that year.

A new blue and white flag completes the high flying trinity in the lower circle, of Kellogg Library and Craven Hall. Rick Moore, director of communications, and Annie Courtney, a resource analyst for CSUSM, both took time out to talk with the Pride about this new addition to our campus. When asked how the decision was made to put the flag up this semester, Moore explained, "We had been asked repeatedly by student leaders why there was no flag... [We] always felt it would be good to have aflagbut there were blocks... funding, responsibility and maintenance. Spring last year we had the funds." Some of you may be wonder, why the cougar, our mascot, does no appear on the flag. As Moore explained, "There was only one design. The cougar is a 'spirit mark', not the University's symbol." The new flag consists only of the familiar campus and mountains icon and, as Annie Courtney commented, "Displays our [the university] identity beautifully." According to Courtney, six flags were ordered at the cost of $284 a piece (plus shipping), however, the company accidentally produced seven flags and allowed us to purchase the seventh at a discount of $150. The funds for the flags came from university funds and an ASI donation of $1,000. As it's currently planned, the university police will maintain the presence of the flags. Although theflagshave the potential to last up to six months in good weather, the idea is to replace it every semester, but there are no known plans to update the image. Fhoto by Jason Encabo / The Pride Council to unify organizations for support Cultural umbrella will provide opportunity for students to congregate BY JESSICA DAMBKOWSKI Pride Staff Writer The Multicultural Student Leadership Council (MSLC) is a club on campus implemented in order to unify all other clubs on campus. The organization is inviting all other clubs on campus to form an umbrella of clubs and unite in order to promote culture understanding and address social, racial and gender-based related issues. The objective is to unify and enable What students to participate as well share differences. "In the past there has been a communication problem between clubs, there's almost been rivalry between clubs, we need an organization like MSLC in order to provide a great unity on campus." said Shawnda Dorantes the former president of Triota (academic society m women studies). She believes that it is important for all of the organizations on campus to have unity in order for the campus to reach its highest if I'm being the largest and most successful on campus. Unification is something that many campuses have strived to accomplish. This club seems to provide the answer for many students looking to collaborate.

The toughest games this season include road games in New England, Philadelphia, and Indianapolis. Home games that worry me see us face the Steelers and the greatly improved Chiefs. Even if they lose some of those games, it will only prepare the team for the playoffs because chances are they'll run into these teams when it comes down to elimination time. I don't think the Chargers will win the division due to their schedule, but I think they will finish second in the division behind the Chiefs, earning a wild card berth. The factor that prevented us from advancing further in the playoffs wasn't simply a Nate Kaeding field goal wide right, but a team unprepared for playoffs after a light schedule. If we can get through this more brutal gauntlet with about 10-wins, I can see the Chargers making a run at the Super Bowl. On that note, don't dismiss me as some delusional fan, because you might remember last season when I predicted the Chargers would lose in the first round because of inexperienced rookies.. .cough, cough, Nate Kaeding, cough. crmmmmapm season MSH I^Ä^tt^itt^oö ' £ Í W !

Roommates, friends, and students of all skill level are able to join together on teams of seven. All intramural teams are coed, including flag football which begins on September 23. At least one female must participate on each team. Touchdowns are even worth double if scored by a female. Even though the season starts next week, it is not too late to organize a team. There are various intramural sports to play, if flag football does not interest you. Ping-pong, sand volleyball, and dodgeball are up and coming sports that the CSUSM athletic department has in store for students. To sign up for an intramural sport you can either organize a team orflysolo as a free agent and be assigned a team.

I found myself very intrigued by most articles and the movie review; however, I found the letter to the editor written by Erika Callahan to be utterly disatisfying. Once again, we have people complaining abdut less important issues in this world. I mean, come on, the city of New Orleans is now a giant swimming pool and millions are dead but all you can think to complain about is how your veggie burgers are grilled? Get a CLUE! The majority of the school's population I can bet are NOT vegetarians and that is why they sell hamburgers and meat of all kinds. It's quick, simple, and CHEAP. We must not forget about the cost here. Maybe the Grill doesn't use the "left side of the grill" because it saves on gas and electric or because that would take longer to clean (meaning paying for more labor hours). Obviously the school can't have a selecton of organic food due to cost as well unless of course we want to add ANOTHER fee to our tuition so now the vegans can be happy! You say, for now you will be "brown-bagging it", well maybe you should just continue with that. Save your money, for more important things like the supply of non withered lettuce and organic tomatoes that you keep in YOUR refrigirator. If all you can find to complain about is the non vegan friendly food at our school, then I say CSUSM is doing pretty well for it self. Try worrying about more important issues like the millions displaced in New Orleans who would love to endulge in those nice fatty grilled hamburgers that are served in the Dome. Just think, you have SOME choices (as you pointed out) and true, I wouldn't want to eat the same thing over and over again everyday, but just think of the poor kids in New Orleans who haven't eaten for five days. No one is forcing you to eat at the Dome so stop complaining about the inevitable and get on with your life!

They meet nightly, sometimes hourly, coining senseless acronyms, circulating poorly written blogs, and otherwise gathering to commit acts of intellectual debauchery, all the while recruiting new members to join the fold. Their numbers can now be estimated in the millions, having sects in cities across the united states, and preying upon the innocent minds of our misguided youth. Led by a man who is known only as Tom, this group of miscreants has unleashed a new wave of virtual camaraderie, that encourages the humblest teen to take on the most base and self-indulgent online persona they can muster, wrapping the pages of their personal profiles around them like a cloak Joseph himself would envy. Fiction you say? No, it's Myspace. Rather than go through the formidable task of live social interaction, you too can maintain virtual relationships with virtual friends. A byproduct of the technological age, virtual friendmaking is a new development, which began with other activities traditionally reserved for reality, such as shopping, reading, dating, and card playing. A1 Gore must hug himself with glee. A self-described "Place for Friends," the website is a simple, albeit addicting online meeting place, where users create and maintain their own personal profiles, complete with photos, personal information, music, and more. Bands have pages too, as do clothing companies and night clubs. In addition to personal pages, users can create and join various groups of every description; become a virtual groupie of your favorite band, or maybe just a genre. There's "Sex in the City" groups, traveling groups, pet lovers groups, singles groups, married groups, or just the I-like-to have-sex-in-general groups. "Photography" can be found as easily as "Real Boys Kiss Boys", and "Brunettes kick ass", or just join the group "New Jersey". "I Like Spooning", is on the same page as "Love is suicide" which is a hop skip and a jump from, and I couldn't make this up if I tried folks, "T.B.D.C. The Butt Drag Club" (who, by the way, boasts 67 members). In yet another outlet for which to proclaim our individuality while adhering to a well defined structural norm, Myspace functions as a virtual platform for not-so-virtual validation. Users can "comment" on one another's posted photos, and not a few bulletins are submitted asking for "friends" to comment (read compliment) their newest and most captivating offering to the pic pool. Fewer still, are those photos documenting young women in compromising positions, wearing little outfits and coy glances. But Photoshop does not a model make, which leads me to yet another bizarre Myspace phenomena; the pseudo model. It would appear to the casual observer that 80% of woman on Myspace are busty size-nothings with perfect complexions, an imposing portfolio, and a host of male admires, all forcing their lips into that oh-so-sexy pout that reminds me not a little of a case of bad gas. What does it all mean you ask? Simply that "real" people are collectable as trading cards, never look bad, have tons of friends, and have cool names like Mattis, Forbidden, and Tia Tequila. In a world dominated by "reality" tv, where nonfiction has reached new heights of popularity, it would seem that we forgo perusing the fantasy isle, in favor of living in fantasy worlds. Where lies the line between what is real, and what is wrapped in pretty packaging and constructed so that we can once again pretend that the monsters do not live under our beds? Thank you. Erica Ruchman literarure and writing ruchm002@csusm.edu BY JESSICA DAMBKOWSKI Pride Staff Writer On the list of preparations for an upcoming semester, the prospect of setting aside even MORE money for parking is not a pleasant one. Now, let me just say this, I was all but thrilled to see a $90 increase for next semester's parking permit (that's $248 total), however, after talking to Robert Williams, coordinator of business operations & technology, I understood the fees were predetermined. "Parking Services is also self-supported, [and] any money made [from the parking permits] goes back to building more parking lots," according to Williams. "The most recent lot [we] finished [was] behind the Business Building." Talk of the parking on campus always brings up carpooling. The idea of carpooling or riding the bus is wonderful in theory, but unpracticed for the majority of students who have schedules as crazy as my own. They live in once place, work in a totally different place, and commute anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour to get to school. Even if there are commuting students in the same area, their hours will be as different as the male and female mind. I find myself laughing with students who suggest renting driveways from homeowners near campus or a parking spot from the local churches at $75 or even $150. Some suggestions are rather witty, though, such as finding several students who have a similar school schedule and buying Palomar parking permits and then splitting the cost of a single carpool permit from CSUSM. The idea being the carpoolers park at Palomar and then cram into one car to get to San Marcos and then drive back to. Palomar after class so students can go home or to their jobs. File photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride I'm certain there will be some really intricate plans put in motion to avoid the extra fees. And yet, look at the situation; the extra hundred won't make anyone walk further to get to class, but parking in the dirt is still going to be a drag. Of course, I look forward to what the creative rebels will think of when parking passes $300. (Just imagine!) One experience of Katrina Former Pride editor gives f irst h and account BY MELANIE ADtflNGTON SINGH Special to The Pride After a weary two weeks in Gulf Coast, it was refreshing to see The Pride online news about CSUSM making a difference in the lives of so many down here. I graduated in December 2001 and remember having my CSUSM friends and faculty as support when we were reeling from 9/11, so I was glad to hear that everyone is still supporting each other and making a difference in other communities. I am a California native, but moved three years ago. Here in Mississippi and Louisiana there are so many people needing help yet too devastated to know how to ask for it. Although I have sustained only minor damage to my home and time, I hope that I can express to you how much pain there is here. It's not just something to watch on the news. These are people that may have lived in your neighborhood before moving here, and if not they are still your neighbors. Out of shock, I remained glued to the television for thefirstfew days. I waited to see familiar faces, alive or otherwise. Many in the country have given tremendously, but there are long term effects to be considered. Even after Geraldo and Fox News stops screaming into the camera about the "face of tragedy', there will be still be thousands of evacuees working to rebuild. Even at the northern tips we still have to boil our water as the whole grid went down. Even turning off the news, there's no escape from the stories. I work in the Department of Art at the University ofMississippi. I've spent what little free time I have working at the Katrina Resource Center as well as fostering a dog from New Orleans and helping coordinate a benefit art sale. I met a woman last week I'll never forget. She walked in, obviously shaken, trying to say she was from New Orleans, but just started shaking and crying. It was difficult even to get her supplies, she kept apologizing for having to ask for help and kept trying to explain to us that she is a working person, she had a job, but it was washed away. Finding what gas there was, she eventually made it to Oxford and a relative after a few days, normally this drive takes four to five hours. The stories that are the worst are from people who watched their loved ones wash away or floating their loved ones dead bodies down the street to get to a hospital to keep their corpse safe. I can't feel good about giving money or working at a shelter knowing how many others haven't even begun to make it somewhere that resembles a home and those who never will because help didn't come in time. At the end of the day, exhausted and broke, the little relief I can give still just leaves me hollow but I hope that if everyone does something, at some point it might be more than enough. So many are doing as much as they can and them some, but then there are others who say "others are giving" or "I don't have any time or money to spare" and it makes you wonder. I mean, there are people who have escaped, knowing they no home, who are willing to volunteer, but people can't be bothered to buy a case of water that could save the lives of people in their own state, in their own country? �Sundays at the BLVD BY SHELLY MONROE Pride Staff Writer "Champagne mimosas brunch served at The BLVD in San Marcos?" Exactly what I said when I stumbled across the club's ad for The Sunday Brunch Buffet. Though skeptical, I was very interested in trying it. I'm sure you have either heard about or experienced first hand The BLVD's nightlife, but unlike other nightspots they have much more to offer than just the typical bar scene. Lively or relaxed, The BLVD is the perfect place to mark a special occasion with family or friends. When I entered, I was greeted by an employee and told I could sit anywhere. I took notice of the interior - a casual and student-friendly sports bar. If you're a sports fan, The BLVD showcases 17 televisions with a variety of athletics going nonstop to keep you updated with current scores. The BLVD Sunday brunch offers eggs, bacon, sausage, fried chicken, biscuits and gravy, beans and cheese, spaghetti and of course cheesy potatoes. On the fresher side of things crab claws, shrimp, bagels, muffins, and fresh green salad were available. To top it all off, the omelets were amazing. Made to your personal liking, your choice of fillings include: mushrooms, bacon, jalapenos, cheese, onions, and pretty much anything else you can think of. Next to the omelet grill was the meat carving station - they offered prime rib and pork roast ready to slice and serve. The BLVD's Sunday brunch offers several different breakfast and lunch dishes, you'll be sure not to go home hungry. The service was outstanding and the entire staff was attentive to my needs with down to earth friendly attitudes. The nice thing about branching at The BLVD is it's not one of those upscale brunches at the Four Seasons that you have to dress up for. You can actually wear jeans and hang with yourfriendswatching sports while enjoying a delicious breakfast/lunch. The BLVD Sunday brunch costs $17.95 but students receive $5 off with a student I.D. You can't beat $12.95 for the endless food and champagne that is served along with great service. I encourage everyone to stumble out of bed after your crazy Saturday night of f un and try the BLVD's excellent champagne mimosa Sunday brunch. All American Rejects rock Westfield mall BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer On Saturday Sept. 17, in the parking lot of their Escondido mall branch, Nordstrom's hosted a live performance by The All American Rejects. The gathering crowd was filled with die hard fans encouraging the band to grace the stage with their dreadful new songs and some more acceptable old material. The show lacked the a dvan- tages of ProTools sound equipment, leaving the lead singer desperate to hold notes he couldn't have reached if he'd sold his soul. Otherwise, the band has a decent place in the pop heart. Despite seeming to conform to Corporate America by playing at a huge mall, they tried (and failed) to retain a punk image. With the terrible riffs of new songs like "Dirty little Secret", the band follows the trends, pandering to high school girls. Stick- Image courtesy of Doghouse Records ing to their roots and making the album more about themselves would have been a good way to go, but oh well. The show was mediocre overall, but had ample volume.

With a modest cast of 13 diversely talented members, the production may have been smallscale, but it demonstrated much heart and proves to have the ability to enhance the Visual and Performing Arts Department here at Cal State San Marcos. The musical, "Little Shop of Horrors" is a dark satire, based on a struggling urban flower shop that rises to the top with the fame of its resident, the exotic maneating plant. As the story grows, so does the plant, becoming more and more demanding of its appetite for human blood. "Little Shop of Horrors" is an odd but extraordinary story, "filled with many strange and unusual events " This Cal State San Marcos rendition is original its own unique ways. Much applause is given to lead actress/director, Noelle Marie Kerr for her powerful vocals and her skilled craftsmanship in stage makeup. In addition to the stage talent, the musical had its own four-piece house band. Yet another notable attribute about this cast was their improvisation ability, that was highly acclaimed by its audience. "It was wickedly funny and well performed. Even in the midst of technical difficulties when the character Audrey got her microphone caught on a prop, the cast quickly adapted to the scene modification," said, Cassie Johnson after the Sunday, September 11th performance. Pumped full of quick-witted humor, "Little Shop of Horrors" was full of sarcasm and mockery. Comedy kept the audience on its toes adding elements of improvisation and personal style. From the moment the lights dimmed, the audience was well aware that this production would be anything but normal; "...please keep all hands and arms inside the auditorium..." This absurd humor carried throughout the production until the final scene when a captive audience member soon became the next helping of plant-food. If you missed this musical, you clearly missed out on some great entertainment for less than the cost of lunch. The cast and crew of "Little Shop of Horrors" are all members of the CSUSM Take Stage Ensemble; a theatrical group of students, alumni, and local musical theater performers. Bravo to the "Little Shop of Horrors", a job well done. �Z A i OC E & J_y THE PRIDE Spice it u p w ith P epper BY HEATHER ZEMAN Pride Staff Writer "Why don't you have some dirty hot sex with me?" To some of you this verse from the popular Pepper song "Give It Up" is all too familiar, but maybe a shock to others. Let me tell you, after attending Pepper's performance at the San Diego House of Blues on Friday evening, it is safe to say that the Pepper phenomenon is growing. I was first introduced to Pepper a few years ago while living in Hawaii. The boys that make up the band originated from Kona, Hawaii. I was curious to find out more about this band that was being echoed through every surf shop from downtown Waikiki to the North Shore. With a Sublime-like edge, and catchy lyrics, it wasn't long before Pepper made waves not only in Hawaii but all across the mainland as well. I've followed Pepper's tour throughout southern California over the past couple years. They've played at various venues such as Squid Joe's in Carlsbad and Canes' Bar and Grill in Mission Bay. They had previously been on tour with bands such as Slightly Stoopid and have even made appearances at the Vans Warped Tour and San Diego's Street Scene. Last night was a long show for Pepper. Instead playing one show that night for the traditional 21 and over crowd they normally perform for, they played two I shows in one night so that they could reach the underage crowd as well. The all ages show started at 6:30 p.m. and the 21 and over show began at 10:30 p.m. A reggae band from Australia called The Beautiful Girls opened up both shows of the night for Pepper. While I did witness some traditional blunt passing at last night's show and the typical drunk antics that go along with a 21 and up crowd, there was a whole new episode I had not previously witnessed at a Pepper show and that was the mosh pits. Possibly due to the fact that Pepper is now reaching a whole new type of fans or maybe the fact that their newest CD "In With the Old" featured a few songs with hard rock. The whole idea of moshing at a Pepper show caught me by surprise and it persisted for most of the event. I even witnessed a few people trying to crowd surf, but it didn't last long. All in all, Pepper put on a phenomenal show. I was even more impressed by thé fact that it was the second show of the night and I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. They played for almost a solid two hours. The venuefinallyclosed down at about 1:30 a.m. Being their last show in Southern California for some time, I was stoked to be a part of it. Pepper is currently heading to Phoenix, AZ and then they are making their way to Australia with Unwritten Law.

L �Gage at mrar with himself ' Lord of W ar' movie review BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer "Lord of War" chronicles the life of Yuri Orlov (Nicolas Cage), a cocky international arms dealer with charm similar to Frank Sinatra. The movie begins when Orlov sold his first Uzi. His notorious reputation begins to rise with a constant chase by Interpol agent Jack Valentine (Ethan Hawk). "Lord of War" chronicles the life of this arms dealer, including the money he made, his wife (Bridget Moynahan) and his drug induced younger brother Vitaly Orlov (Jared Leto) and his eventual capture. Written and directed and by AndrewNiccol, the movie delivers an i ntriguing sense of satire. On occasion, you can't help but to laugh, grin or even be surprised by how the satire dictates itself. Yuri states he won't sell guns to Bin Laden because his checks always bounce. The trailer proudly displays a voice over by Cage stating "Say what you want about warlords and dictators, they always pay their bills on time." Or after his capture, Yuri still continues to do what he does best and by the way, loves. And to top it off, one of the closing captions state five of the permanent countries in the U.N. Security Council are also the biggest suppliers of guns throughout the world Unfortunately, Niccol doesn't seem to know how to develop his characters. Valentine, Fontaine, scenes and sequences as if they were commercials. In the end, it wouldn't have mattered if they were in the movie or Yuri's life at all. It's surprising to note this because Niccol's reputation as a writer ("The Truman Show," "The Terminal") is worthy but as a director is not as prominent as a writer. A movie such as this always brings up, directly or indirectly, the politics behind it. In this case, it is international gun control. V "Lord ofWar" shows two sides of Orlov's conflict. He desires to make a profit while knowing that his product kills innocent lives. With minimal character development, "Lord of War" displays this conflict in a satiric outlook. Nine Inch Neils broken' but., to return BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI Special to The Pride What an unbelievable tease! Everyone who went to the Autolux/Queens of the Stone Age/Nine Inch Nails (NIN) show last Friday must have had such mixed feelings of awe and disappointment. The show was cancelled half-way through NIN's set and rescheduled for November 20. How do I feel about this? Well, the feeling is much like a premature ejaculation. I got a little bit of a taste with the 20 or so minutes that NIN played and when they had to stop, I was highly disappointed. But then again, there is always next time. First up was Autolux, a Los Angeles trio consisting of singer/ bassist Eugene Goreshter, guitarist/vocalist Greg Edwards and drummer/vocalist Carla Azar. Adding Autolux to the line-up instantly transformed the band from playing at clubs to arenas. You can be sure that when this tour is over we will continue to see much more from them, as touring with NIN has added a huge feather to their cap. Next was Queens of the Stone Age, an obvious crowd pleaser as they played many of their latest hits, including "Little Sister" and "In My Head." The group includes singer/guitarist Josh Homme, drummer Alfredo Hernandez, bassist Nick Oliveri and guitarist/keyboardist Dave Catching. I must note that Josh was quite hilarious with his welcome commentary throughout the show. He even picked on an audiencemember who flipped him off during his set by saying that earlier he was sucking...well, I'm sure you get the picture. Although Queens of the Stone Age put on a riveting performance opening for NIN the audience was getting antsy, wanting Trent Reznor and the rest of NIN to play as soon as possible. For all those who do not know, NIN currently consists of singer/ guitarist Michael Trent Reznor, drummer Jerome Dillon, guitarist Robin Finck, keyboardist James Wooley and bassist Danny Lohner. The crowd erupted as soon Image courtesy of Interscope Records as the slightest moving shadow behind the see-through screen remotely resembled the image of Reznor. When the band started playing they received an enthusiastic welcome. This was their third show in San Diego this summer alone. NIN's appeal is partially the emotion that they put into their songs, even a song as sexual and crass as "Closer," and partially the antics that went on, which displays their industrial roots. An amp was knocked over, a microphone stand was tossed away like a rag doll, and Reznor squirted the remnants of a water bottle into the audience as he held it near his crotch. The concert came to an unscheduled end when Dillon was escorted away in an ambulance after he complained of chest pains. What I wouldn't give to be a patient at that hospital. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

As time goes on, ASI will b e responsible f or necessities such a s accounting and t ax services. Instead of being a campus s tudent organization, ASI is now considered t o b e a n independent, or campus auxiliary, organization like CSUSM's foundation. T he t ransition t o a n independent corporation h as slowed t he organization's operations a little, according t o Sadova. " It's kind of been difficult t o get organized t his semester because of procedural m atters," she said, "but once we get over t his h ump we hope t o be able t o function b etter." T he s tudent government is in t he process of getting down new procedures for procurement and purchase requisitions. T he ASI does most of i ts work by committee, she explained, and t he organization is searching for s tudent representatives t o sit both on university and s tudent government committees. Sadova also said she is hoping t o have t he ASI sponsor a n umber of forums and events on campus t his year. Sadova is looking a t having more politically-oriented f orums dealing with subjects like fee increases, a s well as having faculty and staff speakers. I n t erms of communication with o ther CSU campuses, Sadova said t he s tudent government's new corporate s tatus will make officers feel more connected with t heir colleagues elsewhere. The only place where t he old Associated Student^ n ame now resides is in t he bylaws. "On paper, we a re still named 'Associated S tudents,'" she concluded, " but in reality — w e're really t he ASI." �Recreation committee begins planning for student sports ews and Information : ^^^itSleduction' | | | ® | | Q p ^ i | f : e S n i c i t y is u p ^ i ^ ^ j ^ ^ t forced l ^ m d ^ ^ d i Califortia pusesto i t s t limitenrollment cording to report// the t h CSU -i * three Board minority of the For 4,972 cent),compared j ^ntHnl99& Other the in with 2,048 {7,9 percent) & 216 (LI { a become CSU percent) both spiteof seen a the S 3,652 b Department grew accwmting by 26 1980s, percent? with f o r h a l ft i b i a lg r o w t h . e t w p . ; 10,8 percent of c state^de, and s y s t e m ' sn e w budget JUffioL Fewer « There 8.1 the high Asian o m i r i s of in e d the 1992. s is the^participation percentage e n r o l li n of high the <1 school CSU sys- - > / • , * f'i ' . high schoolgraduates are 'j^W" be-t campuses l^^us^of dass c a n c e l l a t i o n sa n d In of;|hegraduate® pus, p percent freshmen crisis the Latinos popula- n to d^UiiedrMnce;;.^-;j8tate- rate— 7,595 thepopu- e 19l^hyiischbolgradu- ^What mde from ofFi- I freshmen ^ ;CSU percent- to e relation were ates reduced^nroDmentover^U,- the ;l a t i o n in of graduates* example, ! \ ! ^ 2 p e r c e n to f t h e students n j i i t i f t e r sa n d to diversification i j f e r c e n to f t h e d S U f e s ^ l i m e in CMifornia'spapulationcontinuestolnaccording begin cuts^th^CSU^st^in continual j p c a d u a t e sw h o crease, expertsto 19,§ from (47,4percent)M1990 cuts compared 1989,10.6 enrolled with at reational activities are held there.

The Recreation Program, formerly known as t he Recreation Committee, was t he brainchild of Michelle Sadova, current council president. L ast y ear, t he c ommittee b rought aerobics, yoga and martial a rts classes to campus. This year's recreation program is headed by Neil Rombardo, student council representative and chairperson for t he program, along with members Robert Chamberlain, Mandi Jordan and Michelle Sadova. The purpose of t he Recreation Program, according to Rombardo, "is to facilitate a campus lifestyle and recreation on campus." The recreation program is co-sponsoring events such as t he upcoming softball tournament. Seventy-eight players have already signed up for the tournament, slated for Oct. 15 a t Bradley P ark in San Marcos. Staff, faculty and student teams are forming, and Rombardo said he is optimistic t hat this year's tournament will be an even bigger event t han last y ear's. Campus groups interested in organizing teams can call Rombardo a t 752-4990. Along with Betsy Reed's physiology and nutrition classes, t he recreation program will be co-sponsoring a campus volleyball event. In addition to softball and volleyball, t he progriam is looking to bring basketball to campus.

This is done a t no cost to t he university, said Carlson. "That was a key agent of (the project)," he continued. "The haulers make out because they don't have to pay more to t ake it to t he landfill. The (San Marcos) landfill makes out because they have more space." Running out of space to dispose of t rash is a problem t hat has plagued t he landfill for some time now. Disney Enterprises also wins because they receive t he revenue from t he haulers. The project is being done in conjunction with CSUSM's I nfrastructure II construction project. While Carlson said t here is no toxicity to t he odor produced, it has been a nuisance. Disney plans to introduce a new enzyme in an attempt to "try to improve t he operation to keep t he smell down." The enzyme will also be utilized to speed u p t he decomposition process. Currently, it takes 35 t o 40 days to complete t he process. For every cubic yard of waste hauled onto campus, Carlson explained, t hree cubic feet of mulch is made — a one-ninth reduction in volume. The mulch is mixed with t he soil in an 18- to 20-inch spread along t he northwest section of campus, where an irrigation system will be installed and t he land hydroseeded with a grass mix. Mulch will also be placed on slopes, which will be hydro-seeded with what Carlson called "Caltrans Wildflower Mix Number Two," providing yellow and orange flowers. "When we're all done with this we should end up with something else t hat looks more like a campus t han a used chicken farm," he said. "This is relatively new," Carlson continued. " Obviously, p eople h ave been composting for centuries, b ut to do it on a large scale is relatively new." What is most important to Carlson is t hat he can get t he campus landscaped with a budget he can afford. "I could not have afforded this on 10 years worth of budgets," he concluded. �'Community outreach' is the name of her game Nominate outstanding professors Cal State San Marcos is once again participating in t he California State University Board of Trustees' Outstanding Professor Awards. The trustees have used t he awards since 1963 as an avenue to recognize and encourage excellence in teaching.

Mail them to us at California State University S an Marcos, S an Marcos, CA 9 2096. By Roman S. Koenig When Dr. Davice Sharpe began her job as director of community education for Cal State San Marcos last July, she set her sights on starting something new. "The thrill of (the job) is t hat i t's new like t he rest of t he university,M she explained. The greatest advantage to s tarting a community e ducation p rogram f rom scratch, she continued, is t hat t he highest standards possible can be set without having t o abide by what she called a less-than-optimal history. Her duties include t he creation ofa non-credit education program through working with business, non-profit organizations, industry and t he public. Sharpe said she wants to make one thing clear: non-credit programs are legitimate. "'Non-credit' doesn't necessarily mean t hat it doesn't meet any p articular s et of s tandards," Sharpe said. Sharpe cites t he Art and Belief series of seminars as t he Office of Community Education's first big success. Presented in conjunction with t he California Center for t he Arts, Escondido, t he lecture series is presented by CSUSM faculty a t t he center. Presentations begin Oct. 20. Her work began as soon as she first entered h er office. "The next day I was sitting across t he hall with t he vice president of t he California Center for t he Arts (talking) about what we can do as a team," she recalled. The result was what she called a moderatelypriced event for t he community. All of t he lectures are covered by a one-time $20 fee. "If you pay a little bit for something, even a modest amount, you're apt to value it a little more," she said of t he philosophy behind t he nominal fees. The a rts center p artnership "exemplifies t he kind of outreach t hat CSUSM can have with t he community, from Oceanside t o Temecula," she added, "so we don't t hink t hat t he CSUSM community is limited to San Marcos in any way, shape or form." Important items Sharpe said she would like to see offered are test preparation courses for sev- Photo by Roman S.

"They a re required for admission t o g raduate p rograms," Sharpe said. "I have found t hat (students have) done better on exams a fter a prep course. I t's j ust a whole different level of confidence — and test scores." Sharpe h as developed a survey to find out what kind of exam p reparation c ourses s tudents would like to see on campus. Sharpe brings with her experience from institutions throughout t he United States. She previously served as executive director for t he Center for Software Excellence in Tucson, Ariz. She also worked as a continuing educator a t Syracuse University and at t he University of North Carolina. She earned an undergraduate degree in liberal studies from t he U niversity of C hicago, a nd m aster's and doctorate degrees in adult education from Syracuse. On t he side, Sharpe serves as a member of t he National Board of t he Girls Scouts of t he USA, and holds membership in Sherlock Holmes scion societies in Syracuse, Toronto and Seattle. Community interest in what she is doing at CSUSM is not t he only thing Sharpe is pleased with. "I have found t he faculty and staff to be extremely supportive," she added. r A Modest Survey on Test-Prep r Sessions Yes, I'd be interested in having the following sessions available on campus to prepare me for the associated exam. The associated fee varies with the length of the specific preparation course, which may extend over several sessions: • GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) • LSAT (Law School Admission Test) • MSAT (Multiple Subjects Assessment for Teachers) • GRE (Graduate Record Examination) • MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test) Please return by September 3 0 to THE PRIDE office, Academic Hall 2 08 jjbehind the computer labs).

One of t he initiatives on t he November ballot is proposition 187, or SOS (Save O ur State), which was d rafted supposedly a s a m eans t o control illegal immigration. This initiative r epresents a short-sighted approach t o dealing with illegal immigration. Proposition 187 proposes t o deny access t o a variety of public services including education a nd h ealth care t o illegal immigrants (or any one who fails t o prove citizenship). Should t he proposition pass, teachers, doctors and social workers would become government i nformants a nd be required t o verify citizenship s tatus of t heir s tudents, p atients a nd clients. They would be required t o r eport t o t he Immigration a nd Naturalization Service (INS) all individuals suspected of being illegal residents. While proposition 187 promises to control illegal immigration, t he fact is i t does n ot call for reinforcement along o ur borders. While I believe something m ust be done t o stop t he flow of illegal immigration, proposition 187 is n ot t he solution. I n fact, if passed, prop 187 would create even more problems. Denying education t o children of illegal i mmigrants would create a t hird class of children on t he streets. Without any possible opportunity to b etter themselves, t housands of kids would be forced i nto t he s treets to make a living. Imagine, barefoot children selling candies in t he s treet or, worse, involved in criminal activities. P rop 187 —- if passed — would isolate and marginalize a large population ofpeople who e ither already a re or would otherwise b e productive members of o ur society. Our t eachers a nd doctors would not longer be able t o focus on carrying out t heir primary responsibilities toward t heir s tudents and p atients. Since public h ealth would not be available t o illegal residents, vaccinations a nd p renatal care would no longer b e available to help save lives a nd prevent outbreaks of contagious disease (tuberculosis, polio...). Can we possibly allow t his to happen? Can we live with ourselves if we voted t o P^epeotio-e CLAUDIA VAZQUEZ create such misery? T he m ain problem w ith t his initiative is t hat i t is based u pon t he false premise t hat illegal i mmigrants come t o t his country because t hey a re a ttracted t o t he f ree public services. S upporters of 187 believe t hat by t aking away access t o public services for illegal immigrants, t he immigration problem will b e resolved. T he s upporters of 187 fail t o address t he r eal issue. T he r eal issue is t hat a s long a s t here a re jobs waiting for t hem h ere, illegal i mmigrants will continue t o cross t he border, regardless of t he passage of 187. S upporters of 187 also fail t o recognize t he economic c ontributions of illegal immigrants t o t he s tate's economic expansion over t he p ast 30 y ears (from t he inception of t he Bracero P rogram u ntil t he passage of IRCA). T he fact is, t he economic contributions of illegal i mmigrants t o o ur s tate economy f ar outweigh t he cost of t he public services t hey receive. While t he promise of saving s tate revenue is driving t he p ush f or t he passage of prop. 187, t he actual cost t o implement t he law would outweigh a ny benefits. If passed, prop. 187 would c reate m ore bureaucracy, t hus c reating a f urther b urden on a n already weakened s tate economy. Proposition 187, if passed, would cost California taxpayers a t least $15 billion dollars in lost revenue.

A D D l C ' til l • • ! ) UNIVERSITY m i 752-4730 t On the C SU San Marcos Campus �Caffeine Effects To Your 1 Study's results undetermined A Consumer's Guide to the Health and Fitness Fair By Susan Mendes The Health and Fitness Fair sponsored by Student Health Services begins today a t noon in Founder's Plaza and Commons 206. Free services and health screenings will be offered for cholesterol, blood pressure, vision, hearing, dental, posture, glaucoma, skin cancer, lung capacity and body f at. What is t he purpose of on-the-spot health screening? To give you, t he consumer, a brief glimpse of what is going on within your body by finding out if you t est within t he normal ranges. If any of your readings are not within t he normal range, take a card with t he Student Health Services phone number, (752-4915), t hen call to make an appointment a t t he Health Center to speak with t he doctor or n urse practitioner about your concerns. Sometimes they will order f urther tests, and other times they will advise you t o continue to have your condition monitored on a periodic basis. Such is often t he case with skin cancer screenings, for instance. Most people have some type of mole or wart or spot on their skin t hat they have wondered about. "How did I get this?" They might ask. "Why is it there? Is t his dangerous? Could it t urn into skin cancer? Should I have it removed?" Cholesterol is another common concern. "Is my diet affecting my health?" you may ask. Or, "How much body f at do I have? What is my blood pressure?" Many of these questions can be answered at t he fair. If your t ests are normal, t hat's terrific. Be sure to take a few brochures t o read about how to maintain your present level of health; Regular health screenings are an important p art of illness prevention, and can play a vital role in sustaining a healthy body. Also, early intervention for health problems t hat do arise can lead to a much more effective response to t reatment or to healthy habit changes. Good health is aprecious resource. Remember, a healthy student is likely to be a successful student. If you miss anything a t t he fair or are unable to attend, most of t he screening services can be scheduled by appointment at t he Student Health Center, located on t he first floor of Craven Hall. See you a t t he Fair! Caffeine is the most widely tised drug in our society. While most of us consume caffeinated beverages, we rarely stop to consider t hat we are actually taking a drug t hat has powerful physiological effects on multiple body systems. There must be some reason why 53 percent of all American adults drink at least one cup of coffee in t he morning. The reason is caffeine, in small to modest doses, causes a decrease in drowsiness, a more rapid reaction time, an increase in mental acuity and overall feelings and actions consistent with stimulation. Voluntary muscles under t he influence of caffeine are less susceptible to fatigue and t here is a n enhanced capacity for work. Effects in t he cardiovascular system include an increase in h eart rate, a decrease in blood flow to t he brain and a slight increase in blood pressure. As we all know, caffeine increases t he production of u rine by t he kidneys, and is likely t o increase t he volume as well as t he level of acidity in t he stomach. The problem is t hat even in modest amounts, caffeine can worsen pre-existing medical and physiological problems. For example, t here is evidence t hat people with pre-existing anxiety problems, such a s panic disorder or generalized anxiety disorder, have a marked increase in symptoms with even small amounts of caffeine. In addition, caffeine can increase symptoms in people with stomach ulcers and/or the so-called irritable bowel syndrome. Similarly, caffeine consumption may be a major contributor to some forms of insomnia. Excessive, repeated heavy intake of caffeine can cause persistent feelings of anxiety and tension, irritability and a feeling of inability to handle stressful situations. I t frequently causes sleep disturbances and tfnftk watck DR. JOEL G RINOLDS often causes chronic fatigue. Abrupt withdrawal of caffeine can cause similar symptoms of irritability, restlessness, lethargy and chronic headaches. After more t han 30 years of research, t here still a re mixed reviews about other health hazards related to caffeine consumption. Specifically, a new study raises doubts about t he safety of excessive coffee consumption among people a t high risk for h eart attacks, b ut in general, most experts feel moderate consumption is safe. Likewise, t here is no conclusive link between caffeine and certain cancers. One recent study even claimed t hat moderate caffeine consumption resulted in a lower risk of colon and rectal cancer. I t is not conclusively known t hat caffeine causes b irth defects or low b irth weight babies, b ut why t ake t he chance? As with many scientific studies, it is frequently hard to uniformly define and compare variables with studies of caffeine consumption. There is difficulty because, not even a cup of coffee has uniform definition. However, in general, experts largely agree t hat moderate coffee consumption (four or fewer cups per day) appears t o be relatively benign. So pour yourself a cup and judge for yourself. However, be careful of t he mochas - t he calories and f at are probably worse for you t han caffeine. Unplanned Pregnancy? Decisions to Make? Don'tface this crisis alone...

UNFORTUNATEH, THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE ARE PUTTING TOO MANY RETIREMENT DOLLARS. E very year, a lot of people make a ' huge mistake on their taxes. They don't take advantage of tax deferral and wind up sending Uncle Sam money they could b e saving for retirement. Fortunately, that's a mistake y ou can easily avoid with TIAA-CREF SRAs. SRAs not only ease y our current taxbite, they offer a remarkably easy w ay to build retirement income—especially for the "extras" that y our regular pension and Social Security benefits may not cover. Because y our contributions are , made in b efore-tax dollars, y ou pay less t axes now. And since all earnings pn y our S RA are tax-deferred as well, the money y ou don't send to Washington works even harder for y ou. D own the road, that can make a dramatic difference in y our quality of life. What else makes SRAs so special? A range of allocation choices—from the guaranteed security of TIAA to the diversified investment accounts of CREF's variable annuity—all backed by the nations number one retirement system.

Good classwork requires hard long hours, dealing with t he inevitable frustrations of not having time or not getting t he material easily sometimes. For many of our students, classes are not t he be-all and end-all of their lives: many have part- or even full-time jobs; many have families or are developing i mportant i ntimate relationships...the ongoing demands of t heir lives is compounded by t he roller coaster demands of t he academic world of mid-terms and papers. Students' lives are also full of resources and support. For some, these include t he friends in t he study group t hat remind each other t hat t he last lecture was pretty i ncomprehensible. For some it's spouses, lovers, children, parents, ministers... t he parade of those in life who provide an anchor or a reminder of what really matters. These resources can even be memories of wisdom somehow handed down from somewhere, t hat helps get us through the tough moments. At some of t he hardest times, we may feel like we've tried all the usual resources to no avail, or t he stressor is something t hat we need to talk about right here and now. We'd like to suggest t hat you consider dropping by Counseling & Psychological Services, located in 5115 Craven Hall. This office, while small, offers a variety of services aimed at helping students who find themselves temporarily looking f or a way o ut of (or through, or around) life's inevitable rough spots...there is no charge for these services which include: I ndividual b rief c ounseling for personal, academic, or interpersonal matters of concern. We t ry t o focus on t he most immediate issues, sorting through them, figuring out what can and cannot be done, exploring more effective ways to look at t he situations, perhaps supportively encouraging some new behaviors. We often find t hat helping with one issue often has a helpful "ripple" effect in other areas of life. Students who are having difficulties with "significant others," such as boy/girlfriends, spouses, or children may involve these important people in the brief counseling. All counseling work involves a confidential relationship with a professional—a safe place right here on campus to pause, catch a breath, gain perspective and encouragement. S upport g roups are sponsored by Counseling & Psych Services, but aire not professionally led. These are groups "by students, for students," and aim to provide mutual aid by sharing concerns and experiences, brainstorming solutions, lending an ear.

The debate took place in Founders Plaza from 10a.m. to lp.m. Topics explored at the debate included the war in Iraq and the war on terrorism as well as various other current political and social issues. PAN was represented by Lanysha Adams and Cheyenne Barr. Ashley Stuart and Nick Bonomi represented the positions of the College Republicans. The debate drew a crowd pf some 45-50 students. The debate became heated at times as both sides sought to explain their respective positions on each issue. Some issues were discussed as partisan positions rather than responses to specific questions. At times both groups agreed in part on some of the topics. "I - really think we need a regime change," said Barr, PAN vice president of external affairs, on the issue of who should be the next president, "and that we need Kerry to be our president to keep year's deficit of $2.5 million. Allison said that as a result of the nearly $1 million in funds being returned to Cal State San Marcos there will be an additional 159 full-time students allowed to enroll this fall. 15 class sections are also being added to the fall class schedule. Enrollment in the additional courses is open until Wednesday, September 22. There is no petition required to add these sections and no late fees will be assessed. This year CSUSM prepared Students and faculty responded last week to President Karen S. Haynes and the Executive Council's decision to remove school funding directed towards financing the scheduled appearance of controversial filmmaker Michael Moore. President Haynes released a statement on Wednesday Sep^HHH tember 13 citing * Michael Moore several reasons for the cancellation. In the statement Haynes said, "The proposed date, only a few weeks away, does not allow time to identify and secure a speaker of comparable significance who can provide a balancing perspective during this election year." "Universities are about the exchange of ideas. Some ideas are uncomfortable, but being exposed to them is how we become confident or our own beliefs and values. That said, however, it is important that discussions be balanced," said Haynes. "The University recognizes the need to present diverse points of view. Therefore we will delay Mr. Moore's appearance until later in the academic year, and after the election, pending agreement between his schedule and ours, and until we can consider how to provide a balancing perspective." In response to the cancellation 64 members of the faculty signed an open letter directed to the President and the executive council. The letter dated September 15 expressed "strong opposition to the Executive Council's decision to postpone Michael Moore's scheduled speaking engagement..." "We feel that this decision repeats a disturbing pattern of See BUDGET, page 2 See MOORE, page 3 Photos by Peter S chwartz / The Pride Above: Ashley Stuart and Nicholas Bonomi of the College Republicans present their argument last Tuesday.

See DEBATE, page 2 CSUSM receives neerly $1 million in budget money BY CHRIS KING Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos is in the midst of a budget deficit for the third consecutive year as a result of state education budget cuts. " (B^get year) 2004-05 was probably the worst of the three years. This was the first time that the campus had been told to reduce its target enrollment," Terry Allison, Interim Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Finance and Administrative Services, said. As a result of these cuts in enrollment 200 fewer students were allowed to enroll at Cal State San Marcos this fall semester than the previous year. In the CSU system, monies are allocated according to full time student enrollment. This year enrollment was cut by 23,000 students statewide in order accommodate the decrease in state education funding. This continues the trend of reduction in enrollment in the CSU system. Last year, 250 fewer students were admitted at CSUSM than the previous year due to cuts in the state university system budget. CSUSM's budget was originally cut by $3.8 million this year. However on the day that the CSU system budget was signed $40.5 million was reallocated back to the entire CSU system. Cal State San Marcos received nearly $1 million - $995,914 to be exact - of the $40.5 million in returned student revenues; however, it was not enough to truncate the university's remaining $2,430,781 net deficit for this fiscal year. Had the University not received this additional funding, this year's budget deficit would have exceeded last �Editorial Staff Editors-in-chief Elizabeth Baldwin Michael Dolan Layout Design & Photo Editor Jason Encabo A & E Editor Chrissy Baldwin Features Editor Eric Mercado News Editor Chezare Milo Business Manager Nicole Pilcher Adviser Jenifer Woodring Staff Writers Erika Bales Sarah Coleson Jared Devore Amira El-Khaouli Patricia Guevarra Heather Hoffman Ryan James Amanda Johnson Christopher King William Lemon Phoenix Lindgren Tiffany Lin Daniel Lowe Maribei Mayo Jamarr Patrick Scott Phillips Katie Powers Lindsay Riedel Joshua Sandoval Kim Schlatter Peter Schwartz Liza Valdez Karlene Wiegand All opinions and letters to the editor, published in The Pride, represent the opinions of the author, and do not nec essarily represent the views of The Pride, or of California State University San Marcos* Unsigned editorials represent the majority opinion of The Pride editorial board, Photos by Peter Schwartz / The Pride DEBATE, from page 1 America safe and free." Barr added, "I really hope that Kerry will get elected. I like what he stands for with things like the Patriot Act, the war in Iraq, (and) the war on our civil liberties." "We are obviously support- ing George W. Bush and I find it to be unfortunate that Kerry doesn't stand for anything at all," said Stuart, chair of the College Republicans. "I can't pick one thing he has been consistent on." "I disagree with all of his (Kerry's) policies.

"We have a very general view of what a terrorist is and I fail to understand why we are fighting a war on a tactic." "I think that having an invisible wall torn down (between government intelligence departments) is a good thing because then we have checks and balances," said Barr. "But when you can define a terrorist by anything that John Ashcroft says, well that's a big problem. When that can't be disputed or vetoed in any way from congress or any group of people well then he has complete authority to throw someone into jail," added Barr. Bonomi agreed that removing barriers between intelligence departments was a good thing. "The benefit... it's a big one," said Bonomi. Bonomi defended U.S. intelligence agencies' right to conduct "sneak and peek operations." Bonomi also stated that the Patriot Act was passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. The next debate to be held between the College Republicans and PAN is scheduled for October 26 from 11:30 a.m. to 1p.m. on the steps of Founders Plaza. The Republicans have scheduled Larry Greenfield, the Director of the Republican Jewish Coalition of Southern California, to debate on their behalf. PAN has yet to announce a speaker on their behalf.

Vietnam for the right reasons, yet when he got out he went against his own country," said Bonomi, executive director of the College Republicans. "President Bush will protect America every time." "I agree that we need to have more security. The problem I see is that most of the money is going overseas, it's going into Iraq. Most of the money isn't staying here," said Barr on the topic of homeland security. "The war on terrorism will never be over until all the terrorists have been removed," said Stuart. " I view the war on terror as a war on crime, it's a long war, it will never be completely over but we can fight it and we can be effective," said Nick Bonomi. "It's (the war on terrorism) a deterrent. It's effective and when people are put in check when they are doing something wrong they will eventually do what is right." Lanysha Adams, film series coordinator for PAN, responded to Bonomi's perception of the war on terror with a different interpretation. "The war on terror is not something material. The war on terror is a war on a philosophical and political idea," said Adams.

The letter also called the "very logic of requiring balanced perspectives flawed." "Were we to follow it to its conclusion, we might decide to invite a speaker to defend the violence of racist mobs, since there is currently a very public exhibit in our new library that is unabashedly critical of lynching" The letter concluded that, "balance should come not from mechanical juxtaposition of speakers with opposing opinions. It should come from our community as we weigh issues, evidence and opinions. What could more effectively stimulate this healthy process than an energetic and reasoned political speech just the time when such arguments matter most?" "We urge you (President Haynes) and the Executive Council to reverse your decision and allow our community the opportunity to engage critically with this timely speaker and his challenging ideas." Many faculty members also sent individual letters of protest to President Haynes. "The arguments (implied and explicit) that the University is a neutral marketplace of ideas and that balance in exchange can only be achieved by having another equally famous speaker (film maker?) on the stage with Moore are unpersuasive," said professor Dreama Moon. "Under the com- èli mittee's logic, this campus may not have any public presentation of any type that puts forth a particular viewpoint without having a counter viewpoint expressed. If we pursue this rationale to its (il)logical conclusions, it appears ludicrous as well as unwieldy. So the lynching exhibit requires a complimentary KKK exhibit, Women's Herstory month activities require complimentary activities presenting patriarchal viewpoints of women, the Republican club may never have a speaker on campus without an accompanying Democrat (Green, Independent, ???), environmental educational seminars require a complimentary argument for the dumping of hazardous waste, etc.? I find this logic difficult to support." Students organized a campaign to submit letters to President Haynes voicing opposition to the cancellation. This week in Founders Plaza students can sign and submit form letters voicing their disapproval. The table will be open from 10a.m to 2p.m. Organizers of the letter writing campaign are urging all those who support Michael Moore's appearance to wear baseball caps this Thursday September 23. There is an organized protest to be held this upcoming Thursday September 23 from 11a.m. to lp.m. in the free speech area in between University Hall and the Kellogg Library. The protest is organized by concerned students, WSSA and PAN. All students and faculty are invited to attend • ! wm •* • regardless of political affiliation. Student Heather Frost Vance, one of the organizers of the protest this upcoming Thursday, called the cancellation of Moore, "detrimental to our development as responsible members of society, "and said that," the way it was handled makes me feel that the administration lacks true commitment to our educational freedom." Vance said that the cancellation sent the message that "they (CSUSM administration) aren't confident in our abilities as critical thinkers and the education provided us." There were also those who expressed support for President Haynes and the Executive Council's decision. "We support President Haynes and the Executive Council's decision, they did the right thing. Student funds should not be spent on a partisan speaker. It needs to be a speaker that's objective," said Nicholas Bonomi, executive director of the CSUSM College Republicans. "We should bring in someone that would speak for free. If they speak for free it means they care. If you need to pay them, the speaker obviously doesn't care about the audience." In a letter dated September 16, President Haynes responded to criticism of the cancellation. "I want to say to you "up front" that in retrospect, I know I could have handled this matter better. Since my arrival in February, I have tried to model a new kind of campus discussion built on openness and consultation.

Haynes also responded by saying, "many members of the campus community felt surprised arid disappointed by what happened, and I want to offer my apology for those feelings." Haynes continued to defend her and the council's decision by stating, "The university is prohibited from using state funds for partisan political activity. We are in the midst of a hard-fought presidential election.

Alyssa Goldstein Sepinwall, associate professor of history, was recently chosen to receive the President's Award for Innovation in Teaching. "She is not only a distinguished scholar, but also a very effective teacher," said Tony Acevedo, a former student of Sepinwall. "She is also one of the nicest and concerned professors a student could hope to meet" "I nominated Dr. Sepinwall for the award because f think that her innovative teaching methods bring out the best in her students and the material at hand," said Photos by Eric Mercado / The Pride Acevedo. When asked about the award Sepinwall commented on how touched she was that the students nominated her and the committee decided that she had earned the award. She was quick to give credit to others. "There are so many wonderful teachers on campus. I'm just the one chosen this year. I am very humbled to be recognized in this way," said Sepinwall. She credited her colleagues with giving her many of her teaching ideas. "She offers fresh and originative approaches to teaching her classes," said Acevedo.

One new face in the crowd has a vision to bring the athletic department to something students and faculty can be proud of. His name is Dr. Stephen Nichols and he is our new interim director of athletics for at least the next two years. Dr. Nichols graduated with a bachelor's degree from CSU Long Beach, and earned his master's and Ph.D. degrees from Ohio State. Q: What is your background in the field of sports? A: When I attended Western High School in Orange County, I was involved with the swim team and the water polo team. After high school, I played water polo for Cypress Community College, but not for long. Currently, I participate in triathlons (swimming, biking & running) and just ran a half Iron Man in Oceanside last March. Q: What brought you to CSU San Marcos? A: After entertaining offers from other schools, like University of Washington, I visited CSU San Marcos with no prior knowledge of this school. After interviewing for the position, I felt that this was a school where I could be happy and give the athletic department all the help I can. It is also exciting to come back to southern California. Q: What are your immediate priorities for the athletics department? .; A: I think it's time for our athletics to grow. Currently, CSU San Marcos is in the NAIA and our goal as a department is to get into the NCAA, Division 2. To accomplish this we need to get two more team sports and it looks like a soccer team is next in line. Volleyball is another sport that we would like to see added to our athletic department. We're looking to add onsite sporting events so the student body can get into the school's athletic teams Most people don't realize that CSU San Marcos has already produced a national champion in track and field and the golf teams have a high ranking within the NAIA. Q: What is your direct role with the CSU San Marcos athletes? ,. . . .. . A: My role is to make sure that each sports program is running smooth. Part of my job is to evaluate our athletes both academically and behaviorally. I also speak at award ceremonies or help out directly, like next month when I pick up our golf team at the airport. My goal is to handle any problem that might arise, in a punctual and professional manner. Q: How can CSU students learn more about our athletic department? A: There is always information available at the Clark Field House, and the school holds tryouts. The best way to get information on a particular sport is to contact the coach. Because we are trying to be as competitive as we can in athletics, we have a very active recruiting process that looks for exceptional athletes with good academic standing. It is exciting that the athletic department is taking steps to give our school first-rate sports teams. Students will be able to rally around teams, which in turn would bring the student body closer. It appears the outcome of Dr. Nicholas hiring will be a new sense of school pride for CSUSM athletics.

(ASI) Surf Tryouts will be searching for dedicated and talented potential surf team members. Tryouts will begin at 8:00 a.m. with each participant receiving three chances to showcase their talent for coaches. Participants will surf in three heats with six competitors in each heat. The divisions you can try out for include men's short board, women's short board, co-ed long board and co-ed body board.

Last year, the ASI Surf Team placed 4 th overall, a strong showing at the very competitive NSSA Nationals contest. The team returns this year looking for new talent to pave the way in the 2004 season. Strong performers in last year's competitions were John Graves, Eric Warner and Ryan James. The ASI Surf Team is lead by coach Dr. Amber Puha, and team manager Ryan James. "Coach Amber Puha is the key reason we have a surf team at CSUSM," said James.

If you were given one wish, what would it be? What's your fantasy? Well, the fantasy of any sports fan since the beginning of time has been to run a professional sports team. That is the reason why fantasy sports have become such a huge success. If you are a sports fanatic, or know a sports fanatic, chances are you know about fantasy sports. For those that don't know what the heck I am talking about I will give you a quick run down on the basics for fantasy football. You join a league with a bunch of your friends where each person receives their own team. Before the football season starts you draft some players compiling a team of a quarterback, kicker, running backs, wide receivers, and a team defense. Each week in the NFL season you match your team against someone else in the to leagues like that can cost thousands of dollars with obviously high rewards. Fantasy sports are a blast to play with a bunch of your friends and I have been doing so since 1999 with a group of some of my best friends. However, fantasy games haven't brought all positives to the sports world. This fantasy sports craze has made it so that people forget who their favorite sports team is. Sometimes you will find yourself rooting your team on but you look across the field and see the opposing team which so happens to have your fantasy teams star player which puts you in a predicament. Do you root for your favorite football team or do you root for your fantasy team? Well sadly many people are choosing the later. Sports fans are slowly turning into fantasy sports fans which is a sad site for any true sports lover. win Fantasy games are fun to play small if you don't get carried away. prizes such With no end in sight I hope that as shirts or ban- those of you who do play keep in ners.

This voice is the foundation of democracy. Our Po,, freedom of speech y Charoenkwanchai is what makes us a nation different from those that have attacked us. Our country is based on taking sides: Republican, Democrat, Independent, Green Party etc. Choices are a part of being American. It is our right and our duty to question how capable the leaders of this country are, because if it is anything but an optimistic illusion, these leaders serve us: The People. As a Democrat, I have come to realize that there is no truth when it comes to politics. The belief that a president is guiding us with the best interest of his constituents rather than that of greedy power-hungry corporations is a leap of blind faith. With a world that is at times scary to live in, we have come closer and closer to falling without a net. So that begs the question* who should we trust? Who is right? Is there a right? I'm not proposing that the truth lies within the words of Michael Moore. It is not his reputation for controversy that earned my support. It is his unrelenting passion to speak his mind, despite the opinion of the general public. I realize that not everyone wants to hear Moore ranting but there is a remedy: the OFF button. This would have worked in a situation where he could have appeared as a speaker. My advice: Just don't buy tickets. People who are put off by Moore argue that he is unpatriotic. A patriot is someone who loves, supports and defends their country. Patriotism is not always relative to the context of War. Defending my country is an act that entails more than just the ability to bear arms. I strongly support our troops despite the fact that I am opposed to the mirage we call a cause. Moore's suspicions about the true nature of this war are not based on hearsay. There is documented proof in his books and films. He includes news articles that hint to a deeper, more corrupt reason to why we invaded and conquered Iraq. These doubts, mirrored by my own, make it hard for me to believe that this war was fought for the cause of the American people. I love America, but it's the system that bother me. I can not understand how we can attempt to silence someone who believes that teachers deserve more respect and more pay than what they feebly call their salary. This university is mainly Michael Moore isn't coming and I'm mad as hell. The primary excuse given by administration spokesperson Rick Moore in the September 14 issue of The Pride was the impossibility of Phoenix Lindgren scheduling enough additional speakers to balance out Moore's viewpoint. What I don't understand is why a filmmaker/ author, appearing offcampus, necessitates a balanced discussion? I like Michael Moore, which is not to say that I agree with him. (I mean, c'mon, does he really want me to believe Bush was in cahoots with Osama and the Bin Laden family to cook up 9/11 to make himself look good and make all his friends rich? Photo courtesy of MGM Home Entertainment I'm not buying it.) But I still composed of students who hope respect him as to become future teachers. How a person with can an institution of education an opinion, not rely on its students to have and I'm always the mental capacity to decide interested in what is fair and balanced? Moore how others was cancelled because he was view the world. too "politicized." It would not But by r efusbe impartial to have him without ing to bring having someone represent the in Michael polar opposite. Moore is not a Moore, alone politician. His issues are not an and uncenattack against one party over sored, the another. His manifesto is from an administration everyday man against the crooked has elevated bureaucracy. an opinionated Photo courtesy of Michael Moore is a different www.csusm.edu/president filmmaker to kind of American; the type who refuses to be complacent. If we were to a position of influential, partisan politico, silence this man on that reason alone, it imparting on Moore's opinions much greater weight and stature than they would be unpatriotic of us. either deserve, or would have had, had the engagement gone forward as planned. Rick Moore also mentioned Michael Moore's "decision to politicize himself" as a reason for not bringing him in, which begs the question: When was Moore not politicized? Both "Stupid White Men" and "Dude, Where's My Country?" were released in paperback shortly before last year's scheduled appearance; Moore's publisher, Warner Books, states that in "Dude, Where's My Country?," "Michael Moore is on a mission in his new book: Regime Change," and in "Stupid White Men" Moore calls for the UN to, "overthrow the Bush Family Junta." So last year it was okay for Moore to appear alone, and this year it's not? Another excuse given is that this is an election year and last year wasn't (it actually was, but the recall was over by Moore's scheduled appearance date). Let's be honest here: most people will already have their minds made up before they go see Moore anyway. I would also wager that the students of CSUSM — along with the rest of the potential attendees of Moore's appearance - will take more than one person's opinion into account before deciding how to vote, no matter how close to the election they hear it. So bring on Moore. We no more need to hear a balanced viewpoint when he speaks in person than we need when we see him on film, which is a good thing, considering that the CSUSM Center ARTES has scheduled a free, on-campus showing of Fahrenheit 9/11 on October 5 (as part of the Arts & Lectures Series). Yank the speaker, but not his film? Gee whiz, that kind of makes me think all those excuses were just a load of crap. Maybe Rick Moore's claim during an interview on the Stacy Taylor show (aml360) is true: Michael Moore was cancelled for fear that his appearance would offend CSUSM's big donors. Bring in Michael Moore and lose money? Now there's an excuse any good Republican can appreciate. �Tuesday, September 21 2004 I salute the Presidents' efforts to stop Michael Moore. However, the problem is not solved. ASI is supposed to be non-partisan. They openly attack the governor, the president, and now they Dear President Haynes, I have always thought of you as a great leader in our school. You have participated in events with students, created a nice and happy environment; you even got us all some lunch last week. But your administration's decision to cancel Michael Moore shows deep disregard for the students of CSU San Marcos. First of all, Mr. Moore was scheduled to speak approximately a year ago with out question. As you know he was postponed because of the fires. He has since, as far as i know, decided to reschedule for this October. So your administration then decides to cancel his appearance? This should not even be a question! Vyl llìlVylì THE PRIDE representative from ASI, they are participating in illegal activity. This needs to stop now. ASI should not be involved in politics period. If another student org was raising the funds it would be fine. But to have our supposed to be non-partisan ASI hold such a money raising effort is illegal. PS My college republican group is bringing in a speaker on October 26th for a small event. And he is doing it for free. Speakers that really care about their message do it for free. But Michael needs to laugh all the way to the bank. Nicholas J Bonomi Executive Director CSUSM College Republicans this university on the map. This will set a platform for all kinds of speakers both liberal and conservative. Let me tell you, you will I had already heard talk never find some one to balance Michael Moore, at about the governator least within our budget. But coming.

This action that your administration has made would not happen at SDSU, UCSD, or many other major collages or universities. Please I urge you to reconsider this choice. As I write this letter, there are hundreds, yes HUNDREDS of students mobilizing against this action because they wanted to see Michael Moore. Don't be the president that will be remembered for suppressing speakers because of political views. Concerned Undergraduate Student, Felipe Robinson-Zanartu I hope all of us would not want to continue negotiating with a car dealer that had a teenager's offer fall through, which was contingent on his /her parents cosigning for a loan, if that car dealer responded by threatening to sue everybody. Real estate offers are usually contingent on several factors, including inspections, securing loans, selling of other real estate, et cetera. I suspect that in politics and the entertainment industry, they are no different in their offer and contract practices. I think we should no longer even pretend to be associated with a Michael Moore appearance in North County due to his reaction. The headline in this week's, The Pride, now looks deceptive. If there was no contract, what was cancelled? Editorial responsibility? A much more truthful headline would have been "Not with state funds". ASI should reconsider student fund support for a newspaper that has major problems with its headlines. Given the budget problems that this campus is facing, we all can think of better uses of state and student funds under the current circumstances. Thanks for your time, Bob Dickey Chemistry Senior are committing to raise funds for a very polarizing speaker. ASI officers are paid salary with student funds. Any time they are working to get Michael Moore to campus and they are acting as a Presidents, Ladies and California taxpayer (mostly Gentlemen, sales tax), still support his I did see Michael Moore's right to free speech, but no latest film, Fahrenheit 911. longer support my fees or I believe that there were taxes going to his speaking several questions raised expenses. that current Federal Office I would, however, support Holders should answer the ASI and / or the with complete honesty. It University offering to pay would be interesting to see Open University fees for Michael Moore speak. Michael Moore to attend However, given that a class where he can learn Michael Moore's reaction, the differences between to a contingent offer falling a contingent offer and a through, is threatening legal contract. Universities, after action, I, as a fee paying all, are primarily about student at CSUSM and a learning. �Dear Editor, I am writing to protest President Haynes' and the Executive Council's decision to veto Michael Moore's appearance at our campus for a screening of his powerful, provocative film, "F. 911." This undemocratic violation of academic freedom saddens and angers me. Since when must a public university maintain a total "fair and balanced" policy (a la Fox News' hypocritical slogan)? The vast majority of mass media and private institutions are strongly Dear Madam President; My name is Christopher Mitchell, I am a History Major and a Senior at Cal State University San Marcos. I wanted to offer you my support in canceling the intended visit of Michael Moore. I agree with your assessment of the situation and, as a student here at CSUSM, I support you in this matter, however, unpopular it may have been to make. Mr. Moore's political beliefs are not in question in this matter. Executive Council, order CoBA to invite an equal number of communist and biases towards conservative union spokespersons? Will President Haynes politics. Quality order the Library and Arts educational institutions and Lectures to balance should provide an open fairly their new exhibit forum for controversial and lecture on lynching in people and subjects—both America to invite the Ku left and right, but not Klux Klan to give their 100% balanced, which is side of the controversy— impossible. both an exhibit and a guest Almost all of the CSU speaker? Board of Trustee members Will President Haynes are conservative business unilaterally order a people. All of the CoBA temporary b an-just until "Inside the Executive the election is over—of Chair" and other CoBA guest speakers are wealthy any military recruiters and veteran events on business owners or executives. In the name of campus (because this is controversial and pro-war); fairness and balance, will or will she invite pacifists President Haynes and the and anti-war activists to participate equally with them? If we get a noted evolutionary scientist to speak on campus, will the Executive Council insist on balancing him/her with a creation scientist in the name of fairness? Lastly, Rick Moore's defensive comment that Michael Moore has politicized himself this year is absurd. Moore has been a political activist for many years. How can anyone believe that Moore's Oscar acceptance speech was not political and controversial? Having someone of the caliber of Michael Moore after the election is closing the barn door after the horse has fled. CSUSM has become Animal Farm University. I hope that Associated Students, CFA, and the Academic Senate defend academic freedom and democracy on our campus. STEVE WIENER Staff and former CSEA Chapter President for his film's authenticity. Just because the facts Mr. Moore artfully arranges in his films fit a certain thesis, does not necessarily mean that the thesis is true. For example, I have two dogs at my home. I make dinner in the evenings for my family. After dinner, I feed the table scraps to my dogs. Now, just because my dogs think that I make dinner for them every night does not make it so. So is the way of Mr. Moore's films. An artful arrangement of inconclusive facts that promote an unworkable thesis. Mr. Moore traded in honest political discourse for political propaganda. In all fairness, this happens more than I care to admit in politics today - on the left and on the right. Though I don't agree with Mr. Moore, or his one-sided propagandist views, having him appear on a public college campus, without a discerning counter-balance to his propaganda, is inappropriate a few weeks before a national election and not a good use of public funds. I applaud your decision and your reasoning behind it. Once the election is over, I don't see any reason why Mr. Moore can not visit the campus in a panel format with the appropriate panelists that could bring some sense to his implausible and propagandist view point. Thank you for your time in this matter. It is always hard to make an unpopular decision, even when it is the right one to make. Sincerely, Christopher Mitchell Senior, History Major His self-described "one sided" view of unrelated facts to fit implausible theories in his films makes him controversial to the point of being a political propagandist. Mr. Moore makes no apologies for his cleverly crafted use of film to promote his view of the world. I don't fault him for his views but I do fault him for his over-use of the "documentary" format which leaves the viewing public with more than a deserving appreciation �eed COJCKXt ^ ^ m ® I l i f e r n et.

"Lynching in America" awards a voice to an ugly time in America's history that is rarely discussed and often hushed. Billingslea has applied the usage of mixed media to help break a "Code of Silence" that has existed to protect the perpetrators of racial violence and silence the victims. Billingslea uses common objects filled with thoughtful symbolism to help people connect with victims who lost their lives to prejudicial injustice. She transforms written history into visual and tactile artistry that can be experienced and absorbed. The installation displays many dirty white dress shirts of men, women, and children. Billing- slea said that "by distressing white shirts, and hanging handsewn nametags from the sleeve, I honor each life." Because there are many unknown victims, Billingslea has placed a few shirts without tags, folded neatly on shelves to represent and honor their lives as well. Billingslea portrays the social aspects of lynching with a handsewn quilt made of recycled fabrics and authentic pictures to create a powerful message about the spectators. Billing- slea said that, "(At a lynching) people packed food and spread out blankets, as if attending a baseball game. Thousands of people watched, children were excused from school to attend with their parents and folks traveled hundreds of miles just to see a person be burned or hung." The pictures are a haunting reminder of America's brutal past and it really brings home the fact that people took pleasure from these horrific events. There are mason jars on shelves, which Billingslea says are "vestiges of violence" that represent things people might have taken away from a lynching for souvenirs, such as locks of hair, remnants of clothing, or ashes from victims who were burned. This installation is a moving tribute to the thousands of men, women and children that were lynched in our country and it serves as a lesson in humanity. 9 /24 Arts & Lectures Presents Noontime Oboe/Piano Concert Noon Arts 111 (Free event and open to the public...guests are encouraged to arrive early) Cougar Dancers Info Meeting 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. Field House Grand Salon You must have previous dance experience.

The Faint: Wet From Birth BY WILL LEMON P ride S taff W riter Dianne (Lucy Davis), Liz (Kate Ashfield), David (Dylan Moran), Shaun (Simon P hoto c ourtesy w ww.uhm.com Pegg), Mom (Nicola Cunningham) and Ed (Nick Frost) pretend to be zombies. BY CHRISSY BALDWIN P ride S taff W riter Shaun (Simon Pegg, who also co-wrote the film with director Edgar Wright) isn't having a very good week. His co-workers have no respect for him and his girlfriend Liz has had enough of his laziness and inconsideration. She cannot stand to spend another evening with him in the local pub, the Winchester. Shaun isn't such a bad guy, but he has no ambition and seems to prefer the company of his unemployed, flatulent, video-game obsessed slob of aflatmate Ed (Nick Frost) to anyone else. As an added bonus, the dead have risen and are walking the earth in search of human flesh to feast upon. Shaun doesn't notice this fact as quick as he should (despite the fact that the TV and radio are broadcasting unexplained phenomenon), but Shaun is somewhat of a zombie himself, lost in his own world and distracted by his own thoughts as he walks past rotting cadavers that now fill the streets of London. The beginning of the movie takes on a satirical view of the commercialized world and how people walk about in a trance-like gaze oblivious to the happenings that surround them. When Shaun and Ed finally do realize what is happening, they form a half-wit plan to save Shaun's mum, rescue Liz and go to the pub where they can wait out the zombie infestation with a pint and a smoke. It may not be the best plan, but at least Shaun tried to do something constructive with his life. This movie covers a broad range of emotions from side- splitting laughter to heartfelt sincerity with zombies thrown into the mix. Normally, zombie horror movies end horribly, without giving too much away that is not the case with this movie. It may have to compete with the ultra-scary remake of George Romero's "Dawn of the Dead" (on DVD in late October), but "Shaun" is able to stand on its own two feet. It should not be confused with horror spoof films, such as the "Scary Movie" trilogy, this movie is actually scary with parts that make you jump and gore that makes you cover your eyes. "Shaun of the Dead" opens in theaters Friday September, 24. If you are looking for a good time, check your local listings and be ready to have your socks knocked off. Omaha is the most unlikely city where you would expect to find a band making electronic music. But the Nebraska natives, who comprise The Faint, were able to create a dance album that sounds good even without ecstasy. For anyone acquainted with The Faint, Wet From Birth had big shoes to fill. With the success of their 2001 release Danse Macabre, The Faint have gained national and international respect as one of America's best electronic bands. Their album Danse Macabre went on to be one of their label's best-selling albums, and with their constant touring they are considered to be one of the best live acts. They have even worked with DJs such as Paul O akenfold to create a remix album entitled Danse Macabre Remixes. When going to record their new album they took their time. It took about a year for The Faint to write and record their new album. The time and care spent on this record shows. The production is phenomenal, much like Danse Macabre, and the songs are filled with 80's pop sensibilities and lots of synthesizers. But unlike Danse Macabre, The Faint sometimes stray away from this formula. On songs like "Birth" and "Dropkick the Punks," The Faint shy away from the drum machines and keyboards to create more guitar orientated songs. Some songs even overlap both genres. The song "I Disappear" takes the dance beats that make The Faint unique and interesting and blends them with more tradition guitar and bass. The lyrical content is very much similar to Danse Macabre. A major theme in both albums is consumer culture. Songs such as "Symptom Finger" demonstrate this, "The faintness that you feel is nothing permanent. Don't buy the sickness on T.V. You want your health they want the fee. You see the ads and start to think, I feel it coming on " While being even more blatantly political than on previous efforts they have become even more personal in their lyrics too. "How Could I Forget" shows this trait, "How could I forget a waste of breath? Of course I do, remember. All the things you said were pointless. And now you go on dropping names...mmm but I still dig you." The Faint have done a great job of doing what many artists can't do after a successful album, they made a CD that is just is good if W W M«W WEAK SO-SO DECENT ••••• GOOD GKEAT � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Her case woken up the community, and raised awareness to make stricter laws monitoring registered sex offenders. For example, a sex offender can receive lifetime parole with a GPS tracking system so that offenders can be monitored for the rest of their lives. Before Chelsea's Law went into effect, there was monitoring of the parolees, but once their parole period ended, the tracking did too. Many speculator believe if more in depth monitoring was done in the case of Gardner, it possibly could have prevented the death of Chelsea King. Under Chelsea's Law, convicted sex offenders on parole are restricted from entering into any parks. Other rules include the evaluation of offenders under California's mentally disordered offender law when deemed necessary by assessment. The first San Diego case to be put on trial under Chelsea's law took place Sept 15. A registered sex offender was given 25 years to life in prison, when prior to Chelsea's law, he would have been given 15 years in prison. �NEWS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21st, 2010 EDITORIAL STAFF Amy Salisbury Sandra Chalmers csusmpride#gmail .com ^ Featurés Editor Toria Bodden features .pride@gmail .com Aits and Entertainment Editpr Vanessa Chalmers artsandentertainment .pride @ gmail.com Copy Editor Amy Salisbury Artistic Design and Layout Jillian Kerstetter pridelayout@ gmail .com Sales Representative Sandra Chalmers pride_ads@csusm.edu Media Management Jenna Jauregui Pride Staff Photographer Aaron Jaffe Cartoonist Faith Orcino Pride Staff Writers Ashley Day Devörine Edora Chris Giancamilli Trixie Gonzalez Rebekah Greene , " ; - !

Since then, the event has attracted over 3,000 visitors every year and its apples have upheld their award-winning deliciousness. Thinking of making your own apple pie this fall?

Just the word itself inspires a wealth of images: bountiful baskets of fresh-picked fruit, the warm scent of fresh-baked pie, and the crisp deliciousness of that first bite. An essential part of any fruit bowl, apples are chock-full of health benefits that can keep your immune system revved as we head into colder months. There's a reason why people say, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away!" Health food website whfoods.com says that an apple, especially the skin, contains several antioxidants that support heart health. Containing only about 80 calories each, apples are a dieter's delight. Their high fiber content helps to suppress the appetite and control choles- terol levels. They help to stabilize blood sugar, and eating a raw apple can even help keep your teeth clean! Now that fall is upon us, apple-inspired recipes are enticing people to the cozy realm of their kitchens . September marks the peak of apple season, so now is the time to enjoy the fruit while it is in its prime. Here are two scrumptious ways to get that homey, nostalgic flavor of apple goodness without the hours of effort. Apple Pancakes * 1 cup flour * 3 eggs * 1 cup skim milk * 1 medium apple, cored and sliced in thin rings * cinnamon and nutmeg to taste Combine the flour, eggs, and milk until they form a creamy batter. Add the spices, and pour by VA cup measurements into a non-stick skillet. Place a few apple rings in each pancake before flipping. Serve immediately with hot maple syrup. Microwave Baked Apples * 2 medium apples, peeled and cored * 2 Tbsp. butter * 2 Tbsp. brown sugar * 1 tsp cinnamon * 1 tsp nutmeg * Vi cup raisins or dried cranberries * Vi cup graham cracker crumbs Combine the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl until crumbly. Place the apples in a deep microwavable dish with a tiny bit of water on the bottom. Sprinkle apples with the sugar crumble and more spices if needed. Stuff the cranberries or raisins into the hole where the core was. Cover with a lid and microwave for 3.5 to 4 minutes until tender. Cool slightly before serving. Top with graham cracker crumbs.

CSUSM Women's soccer plays Biola to 0-0 tie BY KYLE TREMBLEY The goal-scoring drought continued for CSUSM women's soccer on Saturday, as the squad played Biola University to a 0-0 tie in front of the home crowd at Mangrum Field. _ On the twelfth-ranked men's side, for the second straight week the Cougars beat their time from last year by over a minute, finishing eighth with a team time of 2:07:29. Leading the way for the second straight week was Western Nelson, who placed thirtysixth with a time of 25:04. Next on the team was Brett Campfield, who bested his time from last week by a significant margin, running 25:20 to take fifty-sixth. The two-time track andfieldAll-American should continue to make an impact in his first season running crosscountry for the Cougars. Third on the team was Jonathan Alpizar, who placed sixty#13-ranked CSUSM is now 4-1-4 on the season. Biola is 3-2-1. CSUSM has been struggling to replace dynamic freshman forwards Amy Young and Dani Porter, both of whom are injured. The Cougars have scored just two goals in their last five games. However, the squad has posted a respectable 2-1-2 record in that span, thanks largely to a staunch back line that played another excellent game on Saturday.

Rounding out the top-5 for the Cougars were Lenny Santana at 25:51 (eighty-third) and Michael Hansen at 25:59 (ninety-third).

For the number two-ranked CSUSM women, the Cougars were a couple minutes behind last year's time at this event, though it was the first race of the season for star runner Cady Villarreal. Leading the team was Jessica Sandoval, who posted a nice early-season time of 17:52 to take thirty-fourth place. Second was Jen Albright, last week's surprise team leader and overall twelfth placefinisher,who ran 18:08 to take fourty-nineth place. Not far behind were Carol Schryver and Suzanne Cornwell, w h o ran 18:13 and 18:19 to take sixtieth and sixty-seventh, Ramirez and of course keeper Kaycee Gunion, the CSUSM defense has surrendered just three goals in the team's nine games this season.

The band itself has come a long way since 2002, yet they managed to get through the struggles of a newly formed band, eventually claiming two Grammy wins. For this new album, the band worked with Robert John "Mutt" Lange, a notable producer who previously worked with the likes of AC/ DC and Bryan Adams (who also happens to be Shania Twain's ex-husband). "Hands All Over" blends the genres of funk and rock in familiar Maroon 5 fashion. The band toured the end of this past summer, and beginning Oct. 6, they will perform in many cities along the west coast (see http://www.maroon5.com/ shows/ for more show dates). Singles "Misery" and "Give A Little More" were released this past summer and both songs will be accompanied by music videos.

The plot of "The Town" is conventional and from the first scene follows along the expected path. However, where the film truly shines is the stellar acting amongst the ensemble cast, giving multiple facets to the characters. Playing Doug's father, Chris Cooper appears in just one very short scene and makes such an emotional impact with his performance that even Doug is stunned into silence by its strength. Jeremy Renner gives a volatile unpredictability to James, the friend who doesn't need a reason to beat a person near to death. Instead of playing the character one-dimensionally, Renner lends James a surprising vulnerability seen in his fierce loyalty and love for Doug. Jon Hamm as FBI agent Adam Frawley also makes his memorable mark on the film, playing an agent who may just be as psychologically dangerous as the criminals he pursues. Another notable performance PHOTOS COURTESYOFAMAZON.COM belongs to Pete Postlethwaite ("Inception"), playing the quietly intimidating crime boss who orchestrates the heists and the lives of those in his employ. Filmed on location in Boston, Ben Affleck seems to make all the right choices in "The Town." His creation of tension, not only within the heist scenes but within the dialogue, keeps the audience excited about a plot that they have more than likely seen many times before. While Affleck may be a weak point in the film in terms of his character being outshone, he certainly makes up for it by insuring the rest of the cast makes lasting impressions without stepping upon one another's performances. The promise that Affleck reflected in his 2007 directorial debut "Gone Baby Gone" is completely confirmed and reinforced in "The Town," proving that his talent as afilmmakeris ever evolving, showing no signs of slowing down. "WALL S TREET: MONEY NEVER S LEEPS" BY MILA PANTOVICH PRIDE STAFF WRITER When Oliver Stone released "Wallstreet" in 1987, he introduced a film about stock markets that functioned very much like a political thriller. Now, 23 years later, Stone has released the long-awaited sequel, "Wallstreet: Money Never Sleeps." Like "Wallstreet," Stone places the sequel firmly in the middle of an economic crisis and uses the panic and confusion felt in the industry to give the story an edge that is felt personally, if only slightly understood, by many Americans. With visuals of stocks plummeting in a business that depends upon greed and dishonesty, Stone uses the story of a broken family as the backbone and heart of the film. "Wallstreet: Money Never Sleeps" presents the economy as a series of fast-paced split screens, showing the rapid rise and fall of companies through cheesy animation and diagrams. Filming stock traders as if they are mobsters, Oliver Stone gives a sense of foreboding to board meetings filled with arrogant young traders who continue thinking they're in control of the rapidly declining market. Stone, himself, has a small cameo as a trader and Charlie Sheen returns as a retired GORDON GEKKO IS BACK!

With the separation of game developer Bungie and publisher Microsoft Game Studios, another "Halo" game created with the same craftsmanship and quality will likely never grace the Xbox 360 console. With that sobering fact in mind, "Halo: Reach" delivers where all the other "Halo" games fall short. "Halo: Reach" is the prequel to the "Halo" trilogy, directly preceding the events of the original game. The player takes on the role of a faceless Spartan soldier by the name of Noble 6. He begins the game as an unwanted replacement for Noble Team, an elite group of Spartan soldiers who aré no strangers to war. The story takes place on planet Reach, a heavily defended human world untouched by war. But when Noble Team is sent to investigate an attack by local militia, they discover that the Covenant, an alien race led by religious zealots that call for the annihilation of the human race, is to blame. What is initially believed to be an isolated attack soon turns into a planetary invasion of unimaginable force. What ensues is a battle for the very survival of the human race as Noble Team is sent repeatedly behind enemy lines to save the planet from total destruction. "Halo: Reach" is by far Bungie's best work in the "Halo" series, which shows with im- HAPPY HOUR OF THE WEEK Pizza Nova BY MICHAEL RAWSON PRIDE STAFF WRITER Looking to chow down on comfort food and sip some local beer at a price a Cougar can afford, but don't want to stray far from campus? Head down Twin Oaks to the LA Fitness center. Pizza Nova's got you covered. The small San Diego chain's fourth location (and first in North County) opened its doors last year to little fanfare, but has slowly become a San Marcos favorite. As a prime-time lunch or dinner spot, Pizza Nova doesn't do things much differently than Sammy's Woodfired Pizza across town. But who cares which place has better dinner specials? We're talking happy hour, and a recent price drop at Pizza Nova has them looking like a real college town joint. They like to call it "$3 at 3." Weekdays from 3 to 6 p.m., dropping in won't set you back much unless you provements big and small found throughout the game. The most noticeable improvement is the graphics. The level designs are spectacular. Bungie used a cross between handpainted backgrounds and graphic animation to bring a new depth to the world. "Halo: Reach" escaped the confines of its predecessors by using much more diverse color schemes, which make the dramatic sequences pop that much more on the screen. To help draw the player deeper into the experience, Bungie pumped Noble Team with as much diversity as possible. Each Spartan is entirely unique and the player quickly grows attached to each member. But it isn't only the team members that get an overhaul, the player's character does so as well. Several key cut scenes have the player viewing events through Noble 6's eyes, bringing them so much closer to the action and the persona of Noble 6. The single player experience also includes highly upgraded enemies. Gone are the days when enemies' only tactic was to stand still and fire at the player. The enemies in "Reach" are given the same abilities and skill as the player, making the game much more challenging and exciting. Whether they are trying to flank behind the player's position, o r. sending in holograms to try and flush out the player, Noble 6 has his work cut out for him. But Bungie seemed to forget about the intelligence of the player's allies. On more than one occasion a hapless ally seemed to forget what they were doing, or decided that running the wrong way through a level was a good idea. There were also several instances where the ally seemed to get stuck at an invisible barrier, leaving Noble 6 alone in an enemy-infested area. Bungie took great care to throw in several new ways to spice up the single player campaign. Flying through space in a fighter jet protecting a space station from Covenant attack, flying between crumbling skyscrapers in a helicopter to rescue trapped Marines, or even dodging enemy fire to fix defensive turrets, Reach is sure to keep players at the edge of their seats with both gripping stoiy and perfected game play.

Voting Registration Rates Drop to All Time Low ByDiDiLUND Pride StafifWriter Declining voting rates, especially amongst young people has sparked a movement among the student population to encourage voting. According to the 2000 Census reports, only 50.7 percent of citizens between the ages of 18 and 24 are registered to vote and of those, only 36.1 percent actually reported voting. The national trend reveals registration rates dropping to a record low. The Lobby Core, a committee run by Associated Students Incorporated, remains dedicated to educating students about issues external to the university that affect them. This year, members of the Lobby Core are fighting hard to promote both awareness for political issues and to create an effective voter registration drive. Lobby Core members are concerned with the message students are sending to politicians. A Lobby Core activist by the name of Ryan O'Connor states, "This is a vicious cycle where students feel that their voice isn't being heard so they don't vote; but [at the same time], politicians don't care about our issues because we don't vote." Students active in the voter registration drive this year are frustrated that young people are not more involved in the democratic process. Lobby Core members stress the importance of voting to resistant students. O'Connor states, "If we want our age demographics taken seriously, we need to vote because what happens in politics does affect us." Scott Greenwood, Associate Political Science professor, agrees that in order to persuade students to vote, activists need to, "Make it clear to them not only do their votes count, but policies affect them." He goes on to say that the student fee increase has had a huge affect on students' lives but that students often don't see the connection between changes in their everyday lives and politics that make these changes. members of a democracy." James Nguyen, member of Lobby Core and past intern for an assemblyman, feels that students aren't aware of issues that affect them. He states that, "Students feel alienated from the political process." Due to the efforts of the Lobby Core, the recent voter registration encouraged more than 200 students to register. Lobby Core members have been successful because, according to Nguyen, "They motivate students to participate by tailoring the message of the importance of voter registration to identify issues that directly affect students." Another reason students are not active in the political process is the individualist thinking that one vote doesn't count. Greenwood states, "The perception is that one vote doesn't matter but the problem with that is if everyone did that, no one Nguyen hopes that in the future more would vote." He uses the Florida election students will register and vote because, to illustrate the importance of each vote. "Your vote is your voice, right, and duty as "Voters have the responsibility to hold the a concerned citizen." government accountable; it's our job as �The mm hmimm^tt PrlcfeVT S taff W riters E ditorial S taff E ditor-in-Chief E lizabeth B aldwin A cacia C ollins A lex R osalino AriBavis C had S pinks J onathan D anielle B oldt ¡l|||||ll||| • Photo; M i t o r D oug l Lasater A ssistant B esigo; E ditor R oberto P elia N ews E ditor S arah C axiin Featiiirf E ditor LkaGeorge A &EEditor K atie S ammoiis O nline E ditor Robert W oerheide Oistributioja A drian C iiiidiff l&v&inkm M anager S tephanie S app .

P ARKING UPDATE By CHAD SPINKS Pride StaffWriter "It's definately a lot better compared to other schools" Students arrived on campus this semester to find a major difference in the parking situation. The addition of temporary lots X, Y, and Z has provided students with extra parking to accommodate the growing number of commuters. There has been no need to implement stack parking or curb parking which has been used in past semesters. approximately 1000-1200 new spaces. However, according to Patty Hill of parking services, the cost for the new lots will affect the budget for future parking structures. The current plan for meeting future budget needs is outlined on the parking services website (www.csusm.edu/parking). The additional parking has been successful in improving Parking services estimate upon parking problems from that the addition of the past years.

The following list contains such corrections: The Dean of the College of Education, Steve Lilly, Ed.D. had his first name misspelled Seve not Steve in the article Raising the Stakes. In that same article, the date of June 1,2002 was given as the date of exemption from the CSET-MS test for those already with teaching credentials. The correct date is July 1,2002 for that exemption.

F Î tared DC ��PROP 54: Yes or No? By MELISSA RODRK5ÜEZ Pride StaffWriter What ethnic group do you identify yourself with; American Indian, African American, Mexican American, Japanese, White, Pacific Islander, or the all encompassing "other?" As students we are familiar with answering the question of our ethnic identity. It is an ever present query on college admission applications. If, on October 7th or whenever the recall electionfinallytakes place, Proposition 54 will be voted on. stated "Since we do not use race/ ethnicity for admission purposes, Prop 54, if passed will not have any effect on our office." Dr. Karen Nicholson, the Director of Student Health Services also states that "The way healthcare is provided here will not be affected." The first article of the proposition states: (a) "The State shall not classify any individual by race, ethnicity, color, or national origin in the operation of public education, public contracting or public employment." In article (c) it states that for its purposes the word "classifying" "shall be defined as the act of separating, sorting, or organizing by race, ethnicity, color or national origin..." Though Prop 54 would not extensively affect the State University system it could possibly hinder laws dealing with equal employment opportunity. Professor Stephen Nichols, Political Science Department Chair, though confident that Prop 54 will not pass, stated that if it does pass, "It would make it more difficult to implement Affirmative Action." Cases where racial information is not required by the federal government it will be illegal to collect. For Understandably this issue is very controversial and example, the ethnicity question will be removed from opinions are clearly divided with most conservatives applications to state universities because the State supporting and most liberals opposing the proposition. government, not the federal government, is responsible for gathering that data. Sean Mattingly, President of the College Republicans said "Prop 54 is a step towards being a color blind society, There are some exemptions to the law if it is passed. and that's how it should be. Quotas and Affirmative Action Situations in which this data will still be legally gathered keep qualified people out of positions because there are are; to be in compliance with federal law (to remain eligible quotas to fill, and that's not right." for federal funds), law enforcement purposes and to collect data for medical research. When asked what she thought regarding Prop 54, Cheyenne Barr, the President of the Progressive Activists Will this affect admissions or health services here at Network, answered "I am against it as is most of the PAN CSUSM? Director for Admissions, Cherine Heckman, group. I don't believe that this is a colorblind society and before we use a law we need to get society in the right mindset."

Golden By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride StaffWriter As exciting as it is being part of an expanding university in an ever expanding community, we must not forget the consequences of growth that will invariably confront us as we settle in to our surroundings. A most apparent consequence of this growth is experienced by every one of us at some point during our day; that is to say that our congested roadways are becoming increasingly difficult to deal with on a daily basis. Traffic is becoming more and more prevalent to such a degree that it is not reserved only for rush hour anymore. Delays caused by vehicle saturation on our roads coupled with the stress of higher education and, for many of us, employment in either full or part-time status virtually assures the pharmacological industry that there will be a fresh supply of customers for the variety of psychoactive drugs on the market for years to come. As we stand by waiting for improvements in our county's infrastructure, what can we do to preserve the last vibrating threads of our sanity in the face of the overwhelming stress that is the politics of driving? I drive for a relatively large delivery company. Sometimes, I am on the road for up to twelve hours a day. In this experience, I have seen an awful lot of madness, chaos, frustration, and pain. Super craziness in the form of big rigs passing on the inside shoulder to full on brawls over something as stupid as someone taking an extra thirty seconds to turn into a driveway. What truly amazes me is that there is essentially no one out there on the roads that is in as much hurry as I am with my job. Like I said, I am a delivery driver, so I am held accountable to be on time and on schedule with precision that rivals the railroad industry. What I have noticed and what I believe to be the key in dealing with the frustrating interpersonal issues that are a result of Rules & Turn traffic is the need of drivers as a whole to abandon the idea of ego when they are on the road. There is no need to take things personally while driving. Also, there is no need to use your vehicle as an extension of your ego. A car is a way to identify yourself and is a reflection of the driver's personality, but it should not be used as an instrument that will mechanize the driver's inability to step back and realize that all we are doing is driving. Here is a test to determine where you are at in terms of your ego and your driving. If you are driving down an interstate at 75 mph and someone comes up on your rear bumper, what do you do? Do you slow down and throw your hands up in an attempt to agitate this person who has come up behind you? Do you later complain about the proliferation of tailgaters on our roadways and what is to be done about it? If you answered yes to those questions, can you see that you are adding to the problem rather than providing a sliver of relief? I do not see the same problem with tailgating that others tell me about. In fact, I often ask the person who is complaining about being tailgated why they did not just yield the lane and let the person behind them pass. The response is normally along the lines of the complainer not wanting the tailgater to get the better of them. Huh? Get the better of what? What is the goal of commuting? Is there a prize awaiting the driver who did not get bested in a day? The variable nature of the animal we call traffic is so convoluted that it is ludi- Signals crous to assume we are in competition with the other drivers on the road. With every different driver embarking on a different course with a different mindset, how can a conclusion be drawn that there is a code of uniformity that can be applied to our commutes? The idea that no matter what, we can not be bested by another driver must be done away with immediately. The purpose of driving is to reach a destination, not inflame our fellow drivers with rage. The emotions that are the result of mixing the ego with the auto are a dangerous combination: those are emotions spawned by two entities that should have never been brought together. We need to think more conscientiously about other drivers and the effects that our actions are having on them and the flow of traffic in general. In addition, consistently using turn signals and a little patience will provide steps in the right direction for introducing some sanity into our commutes. Because we have all been in traffic and, perhaps, even watched situations develop from something small to chaos very quickly, we all need to be thinking on the roadways. Like I have said, I have seen a lot of things on roads in the course of my job. Since we are all working to reach a destination when we drive, there is one thing I do not want see anymore of out there and that is a yellow sheet covering the body at the scene of accident. For if that is what your ego gets you when you mix it with driving, then think of how your ego looks draped in yellow. S e x In the School: AIDS Is Way Worse Than Ants In the Pants ByJONRODLEY Pride StaffWriter Here we all are students of the fall 2003 semester and maybe beyond. It's good to be back, for some reasons: all the cute girls and boys walking around. The semester is here and with it comes the parties and friends and relationships. It's hot outside and warm at night Parents, do you know where your sons and daughters are? Students, you know what's happening after those parties, even during them probably. Be careful, protect yourselves, it can be a hostile world under the covers. That person you're with, do you know who they were with before you? If you can't remember the amount of people you've been with, or even if you played safe with any of them, here's a story for you. At the end of 2001, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) reported there were 4,926 San Diegans that had a medical condition. What started as a virus, turned into a life threatening syndrome. Some of the people, about 79 percent of whom, got their medical problem from having sex. What can happen because of it? It starts with an H to the I, followed by a V. This in turn can be followed by acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Do you know for sure that you don't have it? AIDS spreads through sharing needles (drugs, insulin, steroids, piercing, and tattoos). It spreads through having sex, including orally. The other way is from transplants or transfusions or from birth. It affected over 362,827 people in the U.S. by December of 2001. San Diego had 3,921 infected people that got AIDS from having sex. That's not including all the people not yet listed that are possibly having sex while carrying HIV. Maybe they don't know they have it. People do have the option of checking themselves with home delivery tests. These usually cost anywhere from $30 to $60 per test. Students at CSUSM, however, have the option of finding out for $15 and anonymously whether or not they are a carrier of HIV. 2000 2001 i U.S. AIDS cases per 1009000 [ population.

The ratio of people that have it in the region is low. The CDC reported that in 2001 only 318 people in San Diego had AIDS because of hetero sex; not withstanding possible HIV cases. Students might say they are too scared to get tested. They don't want to know the truth. Others think that they can't get the disease because they are a good person and only bad people get AIDS. Others might say they don't want to be shunned or treated differently if they test positive. The biggest reason is that some people are ignorant. Still getting their facts from the 80's about how people get it, or where it's contracted. This isn't the Caribbean where one in five people have contracted the syndrome. We're an educated people with awareness. Self denial won't heal a problem if it's there. The CDC reports that keeping stats on HIV contractions will play a major role in limiting the spread of the syndrome. They assert the importance of keeping records to have a better understanding of how it spreads. The statistics will aide in prevention and care efforts. Those that do find they have HIV can still live a normal life. The sooner they find out, the better. If people don't have it, they can keep themselves and others clean by learning more. It's important. There are over 31,000 people in this country aged 13 to 24 that have AIDS. California has 14 percent of the general AIDS population. In 2001 the CDC reported there were 807,000 adults/adolescents with AIDS; of these, 462,000 (57 percent) died, It can be a scary world if you're not protected. Stay smart and get tested. �W hat H appened W hen t he S cores W ent D own T he H istory B ehind t he C SET-MS By USA GEORGE Features Editor/Staff Reporter Remember when there was a urgent need for teachers? Permits called emergency credentials were given to those who had a Bachelors degree and answered the call to teach. These teachers were a great asset for the schools, for a short time. When No Child Left Behind, a revival of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act went into affect, it provided schools around the country with a measuring stick from which to measure school and student's progress. NCLB also gave the federal government reasonable cause to push for highly qualified teachers. Students were given yearly examinations to measure their progress. If the students' test results came back in the low category, the school was examined and parents were given the option of having their children bussed to a higher performing school. Due to a lack of highly qualified teachers in low performing school districts, students and schools suffered. Watching this trend continue, the federal government placed California in the hot seat and demanded that they become NCLB compliant. This meant all schools needed to have highly qualified teachers. Colleges and universities needed to update their programs so that by the time a credential was issued that teacher would meet the state requirements within NCLB guidelines. The result of the commotion would then provide California's children with highly qualified teachers and in turn provide higher test scores. all schools in every school district will require teachers to have passed of the CSET-MS. Those who have received their multiple subject teaching credentials from July 1, 2002 and after will be required to take the exam and pass all Along with emergency credentials three sections to teach in California. going under review, credential programs around California were also examined.

You could have Attention Deficit Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or some sort of other mental, physical, or sensory challenge. The Disabled Student Services (DSS) is the place to go to get evaluated and get assistance. The university funded program offers its services free of charge to those students with a documented disability and who are determined by DSS to be eligible for services. For example, students with learning disabilities will often have gone through a psyçho-educational assessment to diagnose their disability. Such documentation is invaluable to DSS for determining manageable accommodations. determine what your functional limitations are compared to others in your same age and gender group. Too depressed to pay attention? Good news! You may qualify for DSS. Yes, depression does count as a disability if it causes you to lack concentration or affects your ability to process information.

Directed by Louis Spisto, the play is brought to life by a brilliant cast, namely Billy Campbell as Benedict, Dana Delany as Beatrice, Adam Ludwig as Claudio, and Erica Tazel as Hero, to name a few. Set in Italy, just after World War I, the play encompasses themes of love, deceit, redemption, and forgiveness, while simultaneously maintaining a humorous and clever tone throughout. Though the script remains true to Shakespeare's original Elizabethan style, the characters do not speak with the thick, old English accent like you may be dreading. In fact, the characters speak normally, while sticking to the original script. This ensures that your time will be spent enjoying the dialogue, rather than trying to decipher what exactly is being said. Every cast member performed wonderfully, but, without a doubt Delany and Campbell brought extra life to their roles and to the play's overall plotline. By adding hilarious mannerisms and ticks to their characters, Campbell and Delany were able to engage the audience completely. Campbell makes his first entrance on stage by tumbling through the crowd, spreading a lot of energy throughout the theater making the audience feel like active participants in the play rather than distant observers. Campbell's animated facial expressions left the audience roaring with laughter, while Delany's sarcastic witticisms had the crowd hanging on her every word. With the completion of each scene, the crowd responded with enthusiastic applause. These two alone make this play worth watching. "Much Ado about Nothing" will continue to run throughout September until October 12th. The play is performed Tuesday through Sunday, and tickets may be reserved online, over the phone, or at the box office at the Old Globe Theater in Balboa Park. If you plan to buy tickets in person on the night of the performance, be sure to call a few hours early to make sure that seating is available, and also to check out the A dam L udwig, P ichard Poe a nd J eff W oodman, w ith B illy C ampbell c rouching b elow in T he O ld G lobe's f estival 2 003 p roduction of M UCH A DO A BOUT N OTHING, b y W illiam S hakespeare, d irected by B rendon F ox, p laying in t he L owell D avies F estival T heatre S ept 5 t hrough O ct 12.

An Interview with artist Margaret Nee I ndustrial T ake O ver: A b rief g limpse of o ur l ocal d isappearing g reenhouses By LISA GEORGE Pride Features Editor/Reporter Have you noticed the faded wood panels in the library hallway? What about the discolored greenhouse door? Both of these relics serve as mounts for a photographic collection from CSUSM alumna Margarat Nee. Nee is a visual artist who opts for a unique close encounter with the local and devastated greenhouses which are disappearing from North County. Many of us have noticed the scarcity of greenery in San Diego. This is an unfortunate result of the industrialization which started in the 1950s, determined to encourage the growth and development of a nationally known city. However, there are always two sides to every coin. Nee illustrates this through her exhibit, "Light Architecture Southern California Greenhouse Vernacular" located in our campus library September 1 7-November 30,2003. Take a close look at the faded pictures nailed into the old wood. Notice how the images take on a ghost-like quality, an aura of antiquity. Then reflect upon Nee's efforts and message; these greenhouses have a determinable fate, as Nee puts it, an "inevitable disappearance". Nee is an artist in both her vision and her production of an issue which is very close to many who have laid their roots in San Diego. The quality of her interpretive documentary is intentionally representative of the current issues facing local residents. If you look closer into the photographs or take a gander at the references provided for more information, you might notice a few oddities about greenhouses. Besides their fading presence in southern California, greenhouses are part of an industry as well. Take a close look at the various draping of material over the greenhouse walls. Nee is inviting you to challenge your ideas about the very concept of greenhouses; industry is everywhere; factories are becoming our visual wonder in the metropolitan jungle. Nee has been a resident of North County for 25 years, an artist for 15 years. She continues in her artistic exploration of contemporary issues by altering the unconventional media which calls out to her. At http: //margaratnee.com/index.html you will find her various collections, each with a poignant statement, depicted through her alteration of photography in her personal style. Margarat Nee is driven by her quest for highlighting what is all too easily overlooked. She urges CSUSM students, faculty, and staff to "be aware of where things come from". By bringing about awareness of where raw materials and products originate, we will catch glimpses of the native light dwindling in the shadow of development.

Photo by Adrian Cundiff/772ePride By Adrian Cundiff Pride Staff Writer The Field House/Student Union was officially inaugurated last Thursday with a celebratory cutting of the blue ribbon and a free lunch for students and faculty. Interim President Roy McTarnaghan, student leaders and faculty administrators were among the speakers who took part in thanking architects, faculty, private contributors, and students from past and present, for making the Field House/Student Union a reality. Assistant Manager of the Field House/ Student Union Tim Bills thanked Colleen Clarke for speeding up the project with her donation of over one million dollars. The late Helene Clarke donated $1.2 million to honor her husband M. Gordon Clarke who died in 1968. Not only did Helene Clarke contribute to the Field House/Student Union but she also contributed in other divisions of the athletic department, which totaled nearly $4 Million. Bills also said that the Field House/ Student Union should be the center for wellness at Cal State San Marcos. However, he described wellness a little different than what is known by the average person. According to Bills, "Wellness is more than just the absence of disease." Wellness is " ... the appreciation that everything you do that you think that you feel and that you believe has an impact of your state of health and well being." ASI President Honee Folk also paid gratitude towards the contributors and placed an emphasis on the students who paid their Field House/Student Union fees. According Folk, "We owe a tremendous amount of gratitude to the many students who have paid the Student Union fees and invested in improving the quality of the university for the generations to come. "We (students) deserve a place that makes us the number one priority, and it's finally here." Good luck to all participants.

On Tuesday, Sept 30, Colonel Ann Wright will address her concerns regarding the rape and sexual assault ofJapanese women BY JACKIE CARBAJAL News Editor Sept. 21 marked the International Day of Peace, a call for global action in support of a full day of peace and cease fire. Originally intended to occur on the third Tuesday of September, the General Assembly announced ¡pi Wfvi Photo retreivedfrom thewe.cc by U.S. military personnel in Japan from noon to 2 p.m. in the Clarke Field House. Wright, a retired United States Army colonel and retired U.S. State Department official, is most notably recognized for her candid disagreement to the Iraq War and her public resignation to protest the invasion of Iraq back in 2003. Since her retirement, Wright has become a prominent figure as a peace activist, working alongside other prominent activists such as Cindy Sheehan, who spoke at CSUSM last semester. Last spring, she was a keynote speaker at an event in Japan led by local activists to increase awareness regarding the sexual assault of Japanese women by American soldiers.

There are so many artist performing in, redefining, and blending various genres, it is difficult to not find something that suits your taste. However, along with that, is the overall loathing and despising of other genres and artists by individuals. Yet back in the 1960's there was a music phenomenon, everyone loved The Beatles. When I say that, I know not 'everyone' loved The Beatles. However, the fans outweighed the opposed. At concerts and album releases, there was an absolute f renzy of fanatics. People o ften refer to this as 'Beatle-mania.' The obsessive nature of Beatle f ans was unlike anything ever seen. They were one of the main contributors to the 'British Invasion,' the massive flood of British music coming to the United States. They had a massive fan base that spanned the world. Their fame has lived on well past their career. Albums and paraphernalia are still high selling items worldwide. Their influence on the music world is incalculable. They revolutionized the album making process by composing songs themselves, and though they were not the first to do so, they made it the standard. Traces of their music style can still be heard in modern music. Music critics hail their work as more than music, but actual art. In the mid to mid-late 20th century, this was commonplace in the music scene. Beatles fans were not the only ones raging over the band. Other artist, such as Bob Dylan, Elvis, and Johnny Cash were j ust as big, then and now. And this raises questions about where this activity has gone. No longer are album stores flooded on the day of release. No longer do concerts become a f renzy of helpless love for the performer. This says something about the caliber of the quality of music being made today. For years there has not been an artist that has had the same glory as The Beatles or other artist of their time. I find it laughable that the Internet is filled with comments and postings that the Jonas Brothers are the new Beatles. The Brothers' f an base consists mostly of preteens and youths. They do not have the same appeal to all ages as the Beatles. Without a doubt, The Beatles are the greatest musical artists ever. They have made a mark commercially and socially that has not, and likely will never, be topped. THE PRIDE Letter to CSUSM cries wolf the editor I call foul BY GINA P. KEETON Years from now, when I look back upon my educational experience here at CSUSM, I will remember the many wonderful professors I have had who aided in shaping the ideas and thoughts I hold. However, in pertaining to the school itself, I will have only bitter memories. I think many individuals can agree that the unification efforts at this University are poor. "Cougar Pride" is most likely something that exists for a miniscule minority. There are virtually no sports and no common enemy for the CSUSM population to feel as one. Ironically enough, the only rallying efforts at this school involve fighting the California State University budget cuts. First off, this being my opinion, I want to make it clear that I understand the CSU system had been marginally hit by this lack of funds. Nevertheless, I still believe that CSUSM is not suffering as much as they want us to believe. These "budget cuts" are being used as a pathetic excuse to cheat the students out of more money. Now why am I calling foul on the school for their pleas to reduce the cuts? It is a multitude of things really. Individual incidents that one could just as easily turn their back on as coincidence. Yet if you really take a step back and look at certain things with a new perspective, you can see the bigger picture in which everything is intertwined. Over the summer a Professor mentioned that the school had spent an enormous amount of money to change from the trusty Smart Web system to theflawed,yet more visually attractive, MyCSUSM. Then in the weeks approaching the fell semester, the e-mail server switched and the school's homepage got an unneeded makeover. So why is it that a school that is suffering for money happened to splurge on superficial remodeling? To make up for the budget cuts . the school has cut GE courses in which seniors who are graduating this fell still need but cannot get into. The school is not allowing transfer students this spring supposedly in response to the cuts. To top it all off, the school's offices are infested with incompetent workers. Preceding this semester I had serious issues with the Veteran's office, Financial Aid and Scholarships, the Cashiers, and even the Registrar. After weeks of trying to get these issues resolved and having no success, I went to the Dean of Students. By the next morning I received seven phone calls either telling me that my complaint had np merit and I don't know what I'm talking about or kissing up to my derriere with an incredible amount of force. In the end, the problems were resolved after much stress and hardship. However, I cannot forget the many lies I was told, the fact that they kept a large scholarship check of mine to collect interest on, and the many individuals I went through that did not have a clue of what was going on in their own office. Maybe what the school needs to do, instead of trying to get State funding, is take a good look at their budget and try to clean up the wrongs inside the school, instead of giving it a shiny new website.

It's no longer a overall temperature of the earth question of if it exists, but what increased. impact it is having. Casual observation would Several studies have concluded seem to tell us the human impact that global warming has not had a measurable impact on hurricane intensity. A study released earlier this month by the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, a partner of the Department of Commerce's the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, concluded "that despite statistical correlations between SST [Sea Surface Temperature] and Atlantic hurricane activity in recent decades, it is premature to conclude that human activity—and particularly greenhouse warming-has already had a discernible impact on Atlantic hurricane activity." The belief that a line has been drawn in the sand may not be as realistic or influential as one might think. In July 2006, Christopher Landsea of NOAA challenged the scientific community's attempt to connect global warming with hurricane intensity on the grounds that there simply was not a comprehensive enough body of data to make such a claim with any sort of accuracy. Older hurricane data is regarded as incomplete and shoddy, making it difficult to lend itself to the long term examination of global warming on hurricanes. It seems obvious then to ask yourself why all of this matters. If we are unable to say with certainty or anything remotely close to it that the hurricane disasters of late are by our own making, how is this an issue we need to take seriously? Not having enough evidence to make the case isn't an excuse for continuing to allow global warming to worsen. The only reason why the science isn't quite where it should be is because there isn't enough to be measured yet. I am not comfortable with gambling on that uncertainty after witnessing a string of devastating hurricanes compromise the safety and well being of my fellow Americans. The costs in lives and in damages if we continue to sidestep the possibility of global warming effects on hurricane intensity are easily avoidable if we as Americans and citizens of the world take the proper measures to make sure this ceases to be an issue. If we continue to idly stall until we achieve absolute certainty then the blood of America's hurricane victims will be on our hands and ours alone. �FEATURES THE PRIDE Some of CSUSM's youngest students still in diapers BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer Located adjacent to the UPD building off La Moree Road is one of CSUSM's newest resources. The Center for Children and Families just celebrated its one-year anniversary at the beginning of this month. While the site is a childcare center, it offers a wide range of services. According to Francesca Gallozzi, the director of the center, they offer childcare and preschool experience. They are open to children aged 6 weeks to 5 years, or about the age of kindergarten. The center is certified to care for infants who are less than 24 months, as well as being certified for children over 2 years until junior preschool and pre-k. Though the center is affiliated with CSUSM, it is open to the community. According t o Gallozzi, about 60% of the children are from the community, though students, staff and faculty have priority in enrollment. The children are cared for by fully qualified teachers at low ratio of children to teacher, which they are proud of, she said. Several workers happen to be students, though they must meet several requirements. Other features include all meals cooked on site for the children. The center is also a learning lab for the university for students who study child development. Gallozzi is pleased with the growth of the center, and she is looking for more ways to reach out. When the center opened, there were only 23 children, and enrollment is currently more than 120. "The school hasn't fully realized the opportunities for engagement at the center," she said. One program implemented in the center is the 'Cougars to Cubs' program. Student and staff can arrange a visit to the center to teach children about their field. Through this, both parties may benefit from the experience. Another program recently s tarted is the 'Celebrity Readers Program.' The center invites notable staff and community members to the center to bring their favorite book and read to the children. President Haynes was the first to participate in the event. The center will also collaborate with the University Village to host a Halloween carnival for the children this fall, a tradition started last year. The Childrens' Creative Learning Center (CCLC) is the parent company of the center. According to their website, the CCLC is a nationwide company managing childcare centers since 1992. Their emphasis is on centers for working families that provide learning experience. "We're really exited to be here and excited about growth," said Gallozzi. Tuesday, September 23, 2008 Catholic Club gains popularity BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer The club became official in March 2008. Club President Phil Hoffman and Vice President Nate McWeeney head the organization. Jenny Doherty handles communications by reaching out to all interested students. Seven other officers comprise the group. The club holds biweekly meetings every first and third Wednesday of the month at 7PM in Dorm Building C Meeting Room 1. On Wednesday the 24th, they are meeting with another Christian club on campus called Intervarsity at 7PM at the Clark Field House in Room 110. "It's popular for Catholic students to look for schools with Catholic clubs. I wish we had one when I started," said Hoffman. Hoffman and others met with a few deities in San Diego before forming the club. The deities gave support and funding for the CSUSM Catholic club. The churches even sent members from the group on retreats to train and help them with leadership. The club's mission aims to unite Catholics on campus. The group also wants to enable students to have a good Christian experience on campus and unite them with church. Eventually they want to establish a Newman Center on campus. The center provides a place of worship for Catholic students. The club intends to host a concert on campus next semester as well. "I think it's great that CSUSM students are keeping our faith alive," said Senior Management Major Suzette Monroyo. 60 students attended thefirstactual meeting back in April. Since then, more than 90 students joined the club's mailing list. For more information visit www.facebook. com/group.php?gid=29877041253 or send e-mail to csusmcatholicclub@gmail.com. "All are welcome. We can make people's college experiences a memorable one with friends and the opportunity to grow spiritually," said Hoffman. HBB Classifieds Paper due? Dictate your paper.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Gov.

"The importance ofhigher education to the state's future is not lost entirely on our state legislators and the governor. In response to intense pressure by supporters of the CSU, they restored some $97 million to the CSU system in the May budget revision.

At CSUSM, the Career Center, located in Craven 1400, offers numerous resources to help with the process. Pamela K. Wells, the Associate Director of the Career Center and a Career Counselor, offers these tips. • Practice the interview. If enough time is available, schedule a mock interview in the career center. Students have the opportunity to practice an interview with a counselor. He or she should come dressed appropriately and with personal information such as resume and cover letter. The session can be scheduled for one hour and consist of at most a 30 minute interview, which can be recorded and bought for $3, but is not mandatory. A debriefing follows this and the student can receive feedback. If the timing of the interview does not allow for a mock interview, students can also practice online. Through the Career Center's website, www.csusm.edu/ careers, students have access to a program called 'Perfect Interview.' This online tool has students respond to typical interview questions. It can utilize a computer's webcam to record and playback a student's response, or answers can be typed into a text box. Either way, students can view appropriate responses to the questions. • Be ready with information about yourself Knowing one's strengths is an important way to show that he or she will be a good addition. Along with knowing strengths, the interviewee should be ready with specific examples about using these skills in the work- place. Using the STAR formula can leave a positive impression. Be able to frequently describe a Situation and Task, as well as the Action taken and Result to show off one's strengths. In addition, it is recommended that the interviewee know about the job they are going for. He or she should be familiar with the job description. As well, it is a good idea to be familiar with the position and company. • Make a strong first impression The first few seconds of the interview are critical. One should wear clean, pressed, and fitting business or business casual clothes, based on the interview. The interviewee should know the traffic and the route taking so that he or she can find parking and be on time. • Be memorable. Often interviewers will ask if one has any questions for them. It looks good when one asks specific relevant questions because it shows interest in the position. In addition, the interviewee should ask about what the next step is, when he or she will hear back, and take a business card. Using the ^information on the card, one should write a thank you for the time in the interview. Use the Career Center Besides the Mock Interview, the Career Center has many more resources online and in their office. Their 'Career Guide' offers information to get started on the job hunt and finer details about interviewing, such as the best way to give an answer, things not to say, and fine details on dressing. If a company offers you an interview that means you look good on paper and the interviewer wants to see more of your personality. Be confident, be yourself, and good luck!

Attington rejects virtual reality video games and reality television sponsorship offers, instead choosing to take the moral high ground and surf for the fun of it. One day, while out on the surf, the waves suddenly stop and stay that way, a worst nightmare for any surfer. The wave drought causes Attington to lose his big sponsorship deals, forcing him to either give in to the virtual reality world or wait around for the waves to come.

Whatever those things are. We're going to be a proverbiallyflabbysociety in our minds. When a machine breaks, some people are stunned. They're done. If the computer breaks, people go crazy. Somebody's Blackberry goes out and they're lost. I don't know what to do. How does your lead character in the film (Attington) reflect what is going on in the world today? S.R.B.—How does a nature guy, someone that is tapped into nature, deal the fact that his nature gets taken away from him? We use the waves as metaphor to nature. Nature goes away. For Attington, the waves go away. M.M.—He's landlocked. Stuck in a world where the only thing that makes sense is this digital world and his only access to get the thing that he loves, this very natural thing called a wave, is to go down and live in this 'reality' house—to digitize himself for thisfreesurfer game. He's not a moralist going 'No, I don't like that.' He's just going 'That's really not for me, man. I'm a surfer out there, under the sun. I'm not really into that.' You look at reality TV now. Its this huge craze and hugely successful but we all know it's not real. Its false drama and we love watching it and it's a turn on but its not really happening. I've never seen The Hills. The Food Network's got some good ones. S.R.B.—How would a guy who is authentic deal with these inauthentic realities? We thought that would be an interesting juxtaposition. M.M.—Every surfer's worst nightmare is when they're stuck and there's no waves. So, they can go and they've all been there before. They can go laugh at me going crazy and know that when they get out of the theater hopefully there's some swell of their own. So, in that way, it is an—not anti-surf film—but a non-surf film. We surf in the beginning and then the waves go away. So you wore the same board shorts for the whole movie? M.M.—It was the greatest wardrobe ever. He's (Attington) not even coherent that maybe there's that manners and grace that you should wear a shirt indoors. He doesn't even think that way. He's in the office, no shirt, shoes. He doesn't even notice. We asfilmmakersnever made a connotation or note to it. So that's part of our humor as well. People may go 'Oh McConaughey's got His shirt off again,' but that's what's kind of funny about it. I did it a whole movie, all the way through. It was great. What makes this a good movie for the fall? M.M.—We're trying to catch the end of summer and hopefully give you some of that Sunkist fun. Surfing is sort of a backyard sport in San Diego. Why should surfers go see this movie? GRADUATE P SYCHOLOGY PROGRAMS • APA-accredited Psy.D.

Its not just the paintings of the Eiffel tower, or the delicious smell offreshbread, but what really does it for me is Michelle, the owner's, pleasant French accent asking me, " how are you and how is your sister." I am a big believer in supporting local business. Instead of tossing my hard earned dollars into the Starbucks machine, I would rather to give my money to someone who makes Photo by Kathryn McBrayer/The Pride her own fresh apricot Student spotlight Kimberiy Koga CSUSM's Resident poet BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER A&E Editor The first impression of Kimberiy Koga is small little package that packs big punch. Koga's petite f rame hiding the deep waters of creativity flowing beneath. Koga is a senior in the Literature and Writing program here at CSUSM with an emphasis in writing. When asked what inspired her to write she confesses that a school report written by her sister on the i nfamous Bonnie and Clyde, Koga learned that Bonnie was a poet and that attracted her to poetry. Photo by Kathryn McBrayer/The Pride From there the writings of E.E. Cummings, Charles Bukowski, Lewis Carroll, Jim Morrison, Jack Kerouac "helped steer [her] writing in different directions, and exposed [her] to different techniques that never crossed my mind before." Although Koga's main form of expression is poetry she has recently been exploring screen writing and the novel. Koga hopes to own a publishing company and be able to support herself with writing. Before the publishing end of writing takes her main focus away Koga wants to complete an MFA in creative writing but insists, "no matter where my publishing company/MFA plans take me, I will always be writing." Koga began creatively writing at around the age of 12 and admits that it has been an "essential form of communication." Writing for Koga is not achieved in the textbook classical form of development. Koga writes in stream of consciousness and uses words as a source for emotional expression. Koga says o fthe writing process, "Most of the time I sit down with a blank brain and see what comes out." Koga enjoys poetry for they way a "singular word will express whole sen- tences or paragraphs of meaning." Koga is less thrilled with the revision process of poetry because she finds it can be a tremendous e ffort. Koga usually will write a piece and hedge self-editing until a few months later. Koga allows the poem/story per- colate in her mind and then go back to it for editing. Wherever the writing/publishing world takes Koga f rom CSUSM its safe to say the j ourney has j ust begun. A sampling of Koga's poems can be found in the " Pride" on line.

Held in the East Village, behind Petco Park, this all-ages event attracted alcohol enthusiasts, parents with their pre teen youngster and a variety of eccentric indie rockers together for the love of music. Friday's lineup hosted more alternative sounds then years before, such as headlining act Beck. Cat Power and MGMT were also big names on the line up for Friday.

Later on in the night, MGMT, a band whose trendy 80's beats are very much keen to the Flaming Lips melodic tones, took the Zarabanda Stage at 5:45 PM and played a 45 minute set. The stage was set at the end of a narrow street, which was lined with apartment complexes, which did not help with the acoustics, ings, the fest is begging to be heard. And so it was. Saturday seemed to flow more smoothly than Friday. The food was prepared more quickly, the bands started and ended on time, the traffic was better. It seemed that after only one day the festival was familiar to people, a short lived home awayfromhome. The four stages, named after popular music venues around San Diego, were rooted in the streets, becoming a part of the neighborhood. As the second half of bands began around 4:30, the weather was noticeably cooler than the day before, a sharp contrast against the heat of the lights and warmthfromthe sea of bodies. The Whigs kicked the doors open with their own brand of classic radio rock. Their set woke people up and excitement was back in the air.

Starting at 10:45 PM, Beck was on the biggest stage, the Fulano Stage, where they played an hour and 15 minute life changing set. But Street Scene is more than just music, on Friday, the streets werefilledwith local artwork showcased for sale, local and imported fashion was displayed, as well as the popular beer gardens scattered around the street These features enhance street scene's laidback reputation, though tickets for a two day pass were $95, and parking for a bargain was $20, inside the scene was relaxed with good food, good beer, and good music . the whole crowd moving, and Cold War Kids, cycling through decades of rock in their genre twisting set. As the night began to draw to a close, out with the moon came the headlining acts to top of the festival. The National closed out the Fulana stage, their inspirational set being a highlight of the day for many fans. Immediately after on the Fulano stage, 80's new wavers Devo hit the stage, bringing nostalgia into the new millennium with style. As thefinalnotes of their set rang around the festival, it seemed to be a perfectfitto an event that has been going on for 24 years, where genres of the past and present collide, creating an atmosphere of musical bliss.

The missile sent was an unmanned Minute Man III, and its destination was the Marshal Islands, thousands of miles away in the central Pacific Ocean. Weather experts say that the time of the launch and the clear weather conditions, played a significant role in creating the "twi- light affect" that many people saw that night. As the missile climbed to enormous altitudes, the vapor trail left behind the missile froze. Consequently, the rays coming from the still setting sun caught the frozen vapor particles, sending off a reddishwhite hue. Matty, from the Matty Show on 91X radio said that the United States Air Force (USAF) does inform the media about missile launches that are supposed to occur in the area. However, he stated that the releases regarding the launches are very vague. Apparently the USAF told 91X that there would be a launch sometime in September between 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Not only is this a very broad window for a scheduled test, but it was also late, albeit only by a half an hour. Many students leaving Academic Hall noticed the event, and there was a strange mixture of emotions in the air. It was a combination of apprehension, awe, and amazement. Only after they realized that there was no apparent danger did it become apparent that the event was merely both an awesome and powerful spectacle. Official Air Force photo.

Tough Time with Skate Parks in San Marcos By STEVEN ZAMORA Pride Staff Writer There are no skate parks in San Marcos, leaving the entire population of extreme sports participants, including skateboarders, inline skaters, and bikers, with no legal place to practice their sport. "There are no future plans for a skate park in San Marcos," explained Mayor of San Marcos F.H. "Corky" Snitb. However, Smith alluded to a new public park being built off of the 78freeway exit at Nordahl Road that should be complete by Janu- ary 2003. At the new San Marcos park, there would be an assigned area (approximately half the size of a basketball court) for local children and teenagers to ride their equipment. In this area, there would be no ramps, rails, or ledges to ride or grind on - that leavesflatground. This new park will not be a skate park because it will lack ramps, rails, and ledges, thus leaving public property as one of the few options for extreme sports participants to use. substantial amount of vandalism on our property. Such an example of vandalism is displayed in this photograph of a ledge at CSUSM. The marks on the ledge can be from bikers, inline skaters, or skate boarders. However, the fact remains that public property is being damaged, which is a common complaint that Bill Schramm, from the city of San Marcos Community Service department, is hearing from the San Marcos community. Schramm asserted that in the future of San Marcos, as many At CSUSM, there has been a as 24 new parks could be built, that may or may not include skate parks. He also said that construction of a skate park would not be worth the hassle, because local children and teens would still practice their sports on public property, even if skate parks were built. However, Robert Levienos of San Marcos, who is a professional inline skater, feels that a new skate park in San Marcos would encourage him and other extreme sports participants to refrain from practicing on public property, because they would have a place to legally skate. If there are no plans, there Damage to wall from skate boarding in front of University Hall. Photo by Desmond Barca For any questions or informamay not be a skate park in the future of San Marcos.

Clever Cultural B y AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer CSUSM is well known for its cultural diversity, both in education and in population, and it is this unique quality that enhances the campus' cultural experience. Professors like Deborah Small, Sonia Ruiz, and David Avalos eagerly devote their time and efforts to educating students about different cultures, and in a sense, opening up the world to them. This university offers many such opportunities to explore the wide varieties of people on the planet without even leaving the campus. tures (VPA 311) introduces students to a variety of cultures from around the world through various art forms, such as film, music, dance, and writing. This unique course utilizes the talents of several instructors, with Small acting as the "cheerleader for her colleagues," as she put it. With a new instructor every week, this course is more like a fun day at the cultural arts center rather than a required course.

The CAMP program offers academic, personal and financial support, followed by mentoring opportunities for the second year to help students complete their baccalaureate degree and a subsequent teaching credential for those who choose teaching as a career.

In 1999 the CAMP program was included as part of the Clinton administration's "Hispanic Education Action Plan." The program's funding increased significantly. "Currently, within our migrant service area there are over 1,200 migrant students who are eligible for CAMP.

By now, most students have seen their syllabuses and have acknowledged the 10-20 page research paper due at the end of the semester and immediately put it in the back of their minds, to be thought about around week 13 or 14. Probably not the best idea, and for any new students, be prepared: the professors are looking for good papers and here's a big clue, they know the difference. Acknowledging students' tendencies toward procrastination mixed with mega fears about writing, I was determined to find out how to write a good paper. Yvonne Muelemans, the Science Librarian, and Judith Downing, the Humanitarian Librarian, explained how to find out the best ways to research papers along with the biggest challenges students encounter trying to get these papers done. Muelemans responded, "Students don't give themselves enough time, even for simple things, suqh as copying and downloading articles." All these little nitty-gritty things take time and can cause a lot of problems. Waiting for the last minute only to find out that when you arrive in the library the server is down can put students into a tailspin. This does not happen a lot, but it can happen - and it can when you wish it had not. Another thing to look out for is although Cal State San Marcos has around 200,000 volumes To Research encounter students whose topic is either too broad, too narrow, not clear or the student is not sure of the assignment. I have actually had students come in and say 'I need to write a history paper.' That would be too broad. And other students want the product, the grade, and don't want to do the process. The process is the education.... once the student is clear on the topic and they start getting the information or research needed for the Also, CSUSM is part of the paper, that's when the assign"Circuit" which includes San ment becomes interesting and Diego State University, UC San the learning takes place."

El motivo de su visita a la clase fue para hablar de sus experiencias, retos y éxitos obtenidos a lo largo de su carrera como persona de negocios al contestar las preguntas del público asistente en ACD 102. Para Carrie Maxwell, estudiante de SSM 482D, esta clase es básicamente para ayudar a los estudiantes con licenciatura en negocios a tener más conocimiento en esa área. Figueroa obtuvo su maestría en Negocios en Ucrania. Él trabajó como contador privado y como contadorfiscalen el gobierno de México. Además, Figueroa en su trabajo como cónsul ha vivido en cuatro países diferentes incluyendo los Estados Unidos. El miedo, para Figueroa, es el peor enemigo de cualquier persona. El cual, de acuerdo con él, se debe reconocer que existe, pero al mismo tiempo manejarlo y superarlo. Esto cambiará la vida de las personas que lo hagan. mayor reto en su vida ha sido entender lo que pasaba alrededor de él y lo que pasaba en el mundo en la época de los 70s cuando la vida fácil que conocía cambio de repente. Figueroa expresó que su mayor error sería mezclar las emociones con la razón. También dijo a los estudiantes que para evitar los errores y tener éxito en la vida personal y profesional se necesita tener humildad para reconocer que se cometió un error y estar en contra de la codicia. A Figueroa se le pidió un consejo por el público asistente para balancear la vida personal con la profesional. Él contestó que él era una persona egoísta y que si tenía que trabajar en domingo lo hacía pero que le gustaba respetar su vida privada y que si lo invitaban a jugar golf, se iba. De acuerdo con Figueroa, el También dijo que siempre trataba de combinar su vida privada con su trabajo, siempre buscando la manera de estar cerca de su familia. Otro de los consejos dados por Figueroa fue que las personas deben de ser ellos mismos y escuchar pero no creer todo lo que escuchen. Él añadió que hay una razón para todo, e invitó al público a cuestionarse y a abrirse a los demás.

N o es que crea que la sentencia contra la nigeriana es injusta, porque lo considero totalmente injusto y creó que el veredicto debe de ser revocado. A continuación entenderán a lo que me refiero con la situación de las mujeres en México y en la cual Fox se necesita enfocar en lugar de criticar a otras naciones. Hace dos años que México espera un gran cambio social, político y económico con la nueva presidencia del Panista Vicente Fox. Sin embargo, este cambio parece no estar tomando lugar o va a un paso lentísimo incapaz de ser visto ni con el mayor lente magnificado. La corrupción, la pobreza, y la falta de empleo al igual que la violación a los derechos humanos siguen presentes en la sociedad mexicana. N o obstante, el presidente Fox hace alarde de Desde 1993 en Ciudad su presidencia y de los logros Juárez, Chihuahua, México, obtenidos, los cuales jamás han alrededor de 2 84 mujeres han sido vistos por los mexicanos. sido encontradas muertas y hay aproximadamente 450 La gota que derramó el vaso desaparecidas. D e las mujeres y que me impulsó a escribir encontradas muertas, algunas esta carta fue el haber visto han sido golpeadas, violadas, y escuchado a Fox decirle al mutiladas, o apuñaladas y país de Nigeria cómo tratar arrojadas en cualquier parte a las mujeres. En especial, de la ciudad, Mientras que él se estaba enfocando en la de las desaparecidas no se nigeriana que fue sentenciada sabe absolutamente nada. Sin a morir apedreada por tener un embargo, Fox no ha usado su hijo fuera del matrimonio. Fox poder como presidente para pidió a Nigeria que cambiara exigir al gobierno de la ciudad, esta sentencia. Sin embargo, lo municipal y estatal de Chihuahua que él olvida e s que en su propio y mucho menos al gobierno país hay muchas violaciones a federal para investigar estas los derechos humanos. Sobre numerosas muertes tan trágicas. todo en contra de las mujeres Muchas de estas mujeres asesinadas y desaparecidas trabajaban en maquiladoras, usualmente de noche, para poder ganar un sueldo y darles de comer a sus familias. Tristemente para muchas de ellas, debido a la falta de empleo en el país, esta era su única opción de trabajo. Esto me hace recordar otro punto por el que Fox todavía no ha cumplido, y eso que ya ha tenido dos años en la presidencia. Me refiero a la pobreza que se ha incrementado en los últimos dos años debido a la falta de empleo y salarios justos; pero no puedo profundizar en esta ocasión debido a la complejidad del caso. Sobre las promesas de Fox, como decimos en México solo me resta decir que "de lengua me como un taco." e internacional, no hay más de 30 muertes resueltas. Además, de los pocos sospechosos detenidos de cometer estos asesinatos, hay grandes dudas sobre la verdad de su culpabilidad ya que muchos los consideran chivos expiatorios que el gobierno ha usado para aparentar resolver los casos cuando en realidad esto no es cierto. En lugar de estar perdiendo el tiempo pidiéndole al presidente Bush por una amnistía para que más mexicanos puedan venir a trabajar a EE.UU., Fox debería de atender mejor la situación interna y caótica de México. Debería de establecer un mejor gobierno con una justicia verdadera al igual que abrir más fuentes de trabajo para evitar que sus conciudadanos tengan que abandonar su país y en la mayoría de las ocasiones a sus familias. Entiendo que un presidente no puede cambiar décadas de corrupción y malfunción social, política y económica; pero, el esfuerzo que un presidente haga durante su gobierno, definitivamente ayudará mucho a mejorar la situación en el futuro. Hace alrededor de dos meses, las familias de todas estas mujeres asesinadas y perdidas, pidieron justicia para encontrar a los culpables de tantas muertes, y ayuda para encontrar a aquellas todavía desaparecidas. Sin embargo, esto pareció no haber sido escuchado por la justicia mexicana y mucho menos por Fox ya que todavía son muy pocos los culpables o sospechosos acusados de tantas muertes. Mi mensaje para el presidente D e acuerdo con cifras oficiales publicadas por la prensa nacional Fox es que empiece por demandar en México, antes que en ningún otro país, las violaciones de derechos humanos al igual que los crímenes contra las mujeres, que tristemente no sólo acento o pasan en Chihuahua sino en muchos otros estados mexicanos y que sean penalizados duramente y justamente por la ley. En lugar de exigir que otros países hagan esto, ponga usted el ejemplo para entonces poder tener derecho y la desvergüenza de exigirlo en otros países. Como ciudadana mexicana preocupada por la situación en mi país y como ciudadana del mundo, exijo que estas muertes y desapariciones no queden impunes y que los culpables sean encontrados y llevados a la justicia verdadera, que también se necesita establecer en México. Si ni siquiera usted hace respetar los derechos civiles de las mujeres en su propio país, ¿qué cara tiene para exigir que otros lo hagan? Ponga un buen ejemplo ante sus colegas en lugar de exigir algo que ni siquiera usted hace por las personas de su país. N o se olvide que el buen presidente por su país empieza.

The event was held at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibition on Hollywood Boulevard, and drew art collectors as well as thousands of fans each waiting up to five hours to meet Manson, engage in some light chitchat, and shake Manson's hand. The event entitled "The Golden Age of the Grotesque", which by the way is the title of Manson's new album in progress, ran from Thursday to Saturday. I arrived on Friday at 10 p.m., by then nearly half the painting were marked sold. The paintings ranged from $1,000 to $50,000. Over all it was quite an event, with a parade of humanity ranging from Manson and his beautiful entourage all decked out in immaculate wardrobe and make up, to art collectors to Goth rockers, punks, to regular Joes. On Thursday, actors Sean Penn and Jason Lee attended the exclusive engagement. Manson's paintings were reminiscent of 19th centuries German expressionism, many of which were similar to stylistically to the work of Egon Shiele. Among the self portraits and portraits of celebrities including his significant other Dita Von Tooco were subjects tVint were enKi^tc that wwp Teese, clearly intended as social satire. The satirical paintings included a hermaphrodite nude of Hitler, a version of Superman entitled Ubermensch and a self-portrait in which Manson depicts himself as a creepy version of Mickey Mouse. Thought the event was free, in order to meet Manson and get an autograph, fans had to purchase one of Manson's limited editions, lithographs or posters, the cheapest ones starting at $20 apiece. One of Manson's fans, Julia Velasco of Pomona, complained that she had to spend $160 in order for everyone in her party to meet Manson. Though some of the attendees were irritated by the commercialism associated with the event, most seemed appreciative. Outside, I talked to Lexa Vonn, of the rock group Ophelia Rising. Vonn was handing out CDs to promote her band and commended Manson for his loyalty to his fans. Concerning Manson's paintings, Vonn Pointed out that they look much better in person than on the web. Another fan I talked to, Naokol Matsumoto, told me that she came to the U.S. two years ago to learn English for the express purpose of communicating with Marilyn Manson. All of the images shown here are of original paintings by Marilyn Manson. Photos are courtesy of www.marilynmanson.com �-f fear of 'dangerous' art." paintings and didn't make it on Manson's official website www.marilynmanson.com/ For those of you who are to Hollywood last weekend, at . Manson keeps interested in seeing Manson's most of them can be viewed grotesque/ and updated Journal on his website. In his online journal Manson had this to say about his exhibition: "I paint scabs. Cover wounds, encased in scars. Paintings are seldom guilty and often framed for crimes they did not commit. Imprisoned in jails that are owned by the Bourgeois who treat them like criminals...Kunsts! Talking about them and not to them." And in reference to his upcoming album under the same name Manson says, "the understanding of my art is only the sad product of journalism. Fuck art. I am art." Currently there are not show dates available for Manson's upcoming tour On his influences, Manson had this to say, "My inspiration for this record came from historic parallels to my own present position in popular culture. Most notably, I found myself fascinated with the overwhelming imaginative, sexually-depraved artistic chaos that just bled from some of history's greatest minds as Berlin reached its creative extreme peak. The unfortunate onset of rigid control and conformity that brought Berlin to its fiery end seemed to almost mirror today's less violent, but equally ignorant censorship and Manson is much more than just a shock rocker, as he is so often referred to as in the media. I've read his autobiography, listened to his albums, seen his music videos, listened to interviews, and now I've seen his paintings. Listening to Manson talk, it is evident that he is extremely intelligent and articulate. Given the range of his artist: interests and ability, the fact that he has had such a widespread influence on pop culture as well as rallied himself into a lucrative industry, isn't very surprising. The term Shock Rocker, doesn't describe him as well as "artist". Regardless of personal taste, Manson's art challenges anyone willing to put their biases away and take art for what it is worth; an intellectual stimulus that forces us to think and open our minds. People who don't understand Manson, or think his art is gratuitous or only done for shock value, are people who have judged him prematurely; people clearly have the right to dismiss art without bothering to investigate, or make an informed judgment, but in my opinion passing judgment in this way is irresponsible and relates back to what Manson is rebelling against in thefirstplace. Anyone who has the time to examine contemporary art in depth will at the very least respect Manson's accomplishments as well as his courage and determination under heavy criticism, even if they don't care for his art or music. �Gaming On-Line Style By JASON PADILLA Pride Staff Writer First off, this is a piece of those of you who scoffed at the two previous articles concerting Halo for the Xbox.

As a Literature and Writing major at California State University San Marcos, I have been forced to take many classes that in one way or another involve ethnic studies and cultural diversity. Oftentimes, while I am sitting in these classes, I find myself wondering why the university has chosen to teach this school of thought in a way that points fingers at cultural differences. After the class lecture is over, I never feel more connected to someone else of the selected ethnic background of the day, but instead I feel further removed. Take for example a class like LTWR 450, Multiethnic American Literature. The course outline for this class says that it is a class that offers a "Comparison of various ethnic American discourses such as African American, Jewish American, Latino American, [and] Japanese American." To title this course Multiethnic American Literature is a slap in the face to all of the wonderful writers incorporated into the syllabus. Why not title this course simply American Literature? Why must the university tag this course as Multiethnic? Are they saying that all of the authors that we read in United States Literature 309A and 309B have the same ethnic background and that that those backgrounds are not ethnic? The fact that they must separate this course, and tag it as multiethnic, shows the real lack of progress in cultural diversity at this university. I grew up in New York, where nobody ever spoke of cultural diversity. It was common to have neighbors of different ethnic backgrounds, but the idea was that they were your neighbors. Not your Jewish neighbors, or your Latino neighbors, or your African American Neighbors, but simply the neighbors nextdoor. The fact that they may have come a hundred years ago from some other country did not matter and was never talked about. K. Anthony Appiah, a professor at Harvard University, said in one of his lectures that "American cultural distinctions cannot be understood in terms of the concept of race: the only race in thé United States, is the human race." He goes on to say "there is danger in making racial identities too central to our conceptions of ourselves; while there is a place for racial identities in a world that is shaped by racism, I shall argue, if we are to move beyond racism we shall have to move beyond current racial identities." Liberal It is your lucky day. You may be asking yourself, "Why, Matt?" Well it is because today you are going to hear the other side of the story. Last week's commentary "Comedy Hour on NPR" by Erik Roper contained much comedic value. First joke, he said President Bush is our "illegally appointed president." That's funny because several liberal media outlets sponsored their own recount of Florida ballots and wouldn't ya know it, Bush still won. The media, except for Fox News, said nothing! Here is a good book: Bias by Bernard Goldberg which tells about liberal media bias and how Dan Rather gives you only what he wants you to hear. Comedy and France pay 5 - 8 %. Right now you may be saying "Wow Matt that is amazing." And you're darnrightit is. A 1996 GAO report stated that we spent $6.6 billion on peacekeeping operations since 1992 and yet we have only been accredited with $1.8 billion of that money. So under the United Nations Erroneous Dept. Act, we stopped paying dues until our overpayments have been credited or reimbursed. Oh God Bless the United Nations which is also one of the leading exporters of abortion to thirdworld countries where abortion is hidden under names like "family planning" and "women'srights."The United Nations was also a key player in China's Second joke, the author did not brutal one child policy that has know why America "feels it killed small children and has should be exempt from paying created a sexual imbalance. dues." For the past 50 years, America has contributed 25% of At this point you should all the UN budget. China paid less be upset and not because I am than 1%. Russia, Great Britain, conservative but because we are paying with our taxes and with our people (military) for a world authority. Call me a crazy member of the right wing conspiracy, but a world under the control of a global government scares me and the freedom that has been preserved by my dad, grandpa, and forefathers is at risk. It is like "Ripley's Believe It Or Not," but the U N has already created a world court and has been given American soil by our previous president. So, next time you watch liberals on TV remember this - they think, "you are ignorant and possibly even stupid" because you listen to one side of the story and believe it. Matt Cotton CAUSC Student If CSUSM wants to celebrate diversity, they should do so by incorporation not by isolation. There is no reason to have a class called Multiethnic American Literature. These texts, if they are worthy of being studied, should be incorporated into the United States Literature course because they are an equal part of American Literature and not a separate part. The University's program right now is at the same place the Civil Rights movement was forty years ago when the thought was separate but equal. We have come to know that separate is never equal, why hasn't the universityfiguredthat out?

However, this semester my view is being drastically changed and it is being altered in the form of an overflow of cramped and ridiculous parking! Basically as I read the article from last week's Pride, I gathered the truth of the ugliness of our parking. There is only 2,000 parking spaces on campus and yet the school has admitted approx. 6,900 students. Each student is required to on Parkin found that the parking situation is becoming tolerable and many hope that the congestion will die down after the add/drop period. However, the numbers don't lie and class sizes are not dropping as much as they are increasing, which is another article all together! That fact is that after September 26, 2002, curb parking will no longer be allowed, as well as stack parking to soon follow. Though I understand the red curb's disallowance due to fire hazard (though overlooked in the past 3 weeks), the unmarked curbs and stack parking is desperately needed. The student's money should be seen in action pay sixty-two dollars a semes- dents that have permits park in and not with parking tickets.

Another thought to ponder school from various near-by des- is between five tofifteenminis that the faculty also parks on tinations such as Ralph's and the utes.

I challenge you in the overflow. Why should stu- I'm sure many of you have, and CSUSM students to not take this lying down or walking down but to strike. The strike that I am proposing is not as shocking as it sounds. My suggestion is for the following week, the week of Sept. 30- Oct. 4., students should continue to park on curbs and in the dirt. Red curbs can be avoided due to the fire hazard, after all those areas only contain five or so spaces. When parking make sure to place this article under the windshield wipers in plain sight so when a ticket is being considered they will see the true parking permit, the student's voice. These tickets are only meaningful to those giving them and those receiving the profit. My thoughts are that the school cannot justly give tickets to everyone unless they decide to give us all refunds on the permits that they are not properly practicing. Everyone needs to participate. We have no choice. Don't let the last freedom of speech be in our parents' generation, stand up for our rights and what we've paid for! NICHOLE JESTER Senior, LTWR GSUSM T raffic: S elf-inflicted Chaos By AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer Could it be possible that inconveniently scheduled class times are what lie at the root of the current traffic problem? Most students have little choice as to what classes they need to take; they must complete the courses required for their major in order to graduate. With this in mind, you would think that the university would schedule similarly required classes close together during the day so that students could easily end one class and begin another and then be done for the day. Unfortunately, this is that there would be less congesnot the case at CSUSM. tion and more convenience if they could keep the similarly It seems that everywhere you required classes close together. go on campus you will hear some- Could one of the main traffic one complaining about parking problems be the absurd amount and someone else complaining of students that start early in about how long their days are the morning and leave their car at school, perhaps these two parked in the lot all day so that issues are secretly intertwined. they can catch their nighttime Classes at CSUSM are scheduled class without having to lose their haphazardly, some early while spot or even worse, risk not being others late, even when they are able to get another one later? all required of the same major. Why would you spread them out Apparently classes are offered so far apart?

Why in the world would you place Mucky Mouse in Suicide in this issue? It lacks humor, subtlety, or thoughtful commentary, as well as informed spelling and punctuation-so what's the point? This is no mouse, it's a sewer rat. Actually, why would you want such tasteless inanity in our college publication at all? I sincerely hope neither the community nor the Zingaro family sees this issue; do the right thing and pull itfromthe stands. There's no pride here. Pam Horner L ETTERS This letter is in response to the letter sent by Pam Horner. I have had classes with Pam and have always admired her intellect and contributions to class discussions. Her letter to the editor was both justified and well composed. As the creator of Mucky Mouse I would like to respond to Pam's letter in this way: I would not have submitted Mucky Mouse to the Pride last week if I had learned about the Zingaro death earlier. The comic was not a response to his death, and was drawn prior to his disappearance. Mucky Mouse in Suicide preceded the news of Alex's death and was left in the paper accidentally. I myself did not imagine a connection between ing college. Is this really necessary? Should the greater student population cater to the needs of a select few? And to those people who must waste their entire days sitting around campus awaiting their next class, which may be up to nine hours later, is it fair that you must wait just so you have a guaranteed parking space? believe it is the lack of spaces as much as it is poor class scheduling. If classes were scheduled in blocks, every few hours a ton of spaces would open up for the next block of students to go to class. Maybe the real problem is being overlooked; maybe the real problem has to do with poor scheduling. There is definitely an underlying problem in the parking s ituation, and I do not the comic and the tragic death positive objectives, which I feel less.

Normally, it fronts as a small computer store, run by former Lieutenant Governor candidate, Ron J. Like. It sits on Coast Highway in Oceanside, surrounded by many other 'Ma and Pa' businesses. Walking inside, the diversity is almost as great as the different stores that make up this neighborhood. Like's software is available on the only aisle and is flanked by other computers in various stages of use. The far wall contains several paintings and if visitors look close, they will recognize a Rembrandt and a Monet but not the kind that will bring millions, but copies that have been painted by Like. The store has that 'lived in' feel that only a small business can bring and is fast disappearing from the American landscape. In this comfortable, yet quirky room, two men, Like and Byron were planning to make a run at congress under the decent and respectable ticket. against it because many of their companies were profiting from doing business with Iraq, Byron quickly said that Vice-President Dick Cheney had run Halliburton quite successfully while doing business with Iraq during the 90s even with the sanctions After we seated ourselves in and embargos in place. two easy chairs, he began to talk about politics and the first thing Spreading democracy to that came up was Iraq and the other countries especially in the president's determination to go Middle East was another topic in with force.

Byron Byron also pointed out that also mentioned that any operathe former U.S.S.R., China and tion in Iraq will cost hundreds North Korea all have nuclear of billions of dollars over the weapons or are trying to get next ten years and the budget them and the U.S. has not might not be able to come out of attacked them.

England's prime minister. After pointing out that Europeans were that candidates that obtain five percent of the vote in the qualifying elections will then receive a certain amount of campaign money from the state yet, there would be a limit to the amount on private funds. Byron also wants to "reempower" congress and let them do what they are supposed to do, which is debate over what i s best for this country. Byron also talked about his students telling him that they feel like their vote won't make a difference. However, he wants to let them know that for once, yes, it will. CSUSM Professor, Dr Mike Byron 1 When asked what were some of the things that could be done tofightthe war on terror and how to stop terrorism from spreading, Byron offered a profound quote. "Happy people don't make history, we need to be fostering conditions for meaningful, fair international trade. We can be setting the conditions for democracy but we can't impose it, we can only provide the model for opportunity. People in the Middle East are stuck, give them the opportunity." Given the fact that in the Middle East, 65 percent of the population is between 15 and 25 with almost no job prospects, this recipe is more fitting than sending in random troops. Many of these people are college educated yet work as street vendors because there's no employment. With regards to foreign policy, Taiwan became another topic of discussion. The current administration in Taiwan is dedicated to keeping it independent from China and is even conducting a secret deal for eight new 'Dolphin' class submarines. Byron responded that since president Truman went to China in 1971 and signed the Taiwan Relations Act, every president since him has been committed to the act, which guarantees one China and the peaceful return of Taiwan. Byron said that we should stay committed to that. "What we should be doing is facilitating the foundations of modernity and democracy with the Chinese, we do that, the problem fades," he said. Byron also added that the number one issue with regards to domestic policies was the political system. "The political system, it should be one person, one vote, now it's one dollar, one vote," he said. He pointed out that in the '96 elections had the most money spent and the most votes recorded. He quoted P.J. O'Rourke and his reference that we have turned into a 'Parliament of Whores' because we pay so much attention to special interest groups. Byron has one other huge supporter of his opinion of these groups and that is Republican Senator John McCain, who ironically belongs to his opposition party. According to Byron, we need a constitutional amendment like we had back in the 1800's, when Mark Twain called it a 'Gilded Age,' to stop the special interest groups from retaining so much hold over us. Part of that would include public control over campaign money. This means The event that made Byron decide to run for Congress was after listening to senator McCain speak in addition to talking to documentary filmmaker, Michael Moore. Moore quoted Margaret Mead as saying, "If you want something to happen, you have to get up and do it yourself." It struck a chord with Byron and he went home and talked with his wife and the rest is making history. He also added, "Stay away from special interest money, be committed!" as his own advice to keep himself honest. Byron needs roughly 36,000 votes to win. Furthermore, his name will not appear anywhere in the ballot; he is a write-in candidate because the democrats did not get a candidate in the primary. He is running for the 49th district and his opponent is the republican Dan Issa. Byron also said, "This is your chance to make a difference, together we can make history." For those who want more information on Byron and his standpoint in many issues, visit his website at www.ByronForC ongress.org. This website will also tell you how to vote using the write in method. He will also be speaking at the upcoming North County Democratic Unity dinner on Saturday, October 5th. For more info call 760-436-6348.

WARCRAFT from page 12 turns to the distant shores of Kalimdor, where the Ores vie for survival against the Night Elves to save the world from utter annihilation. Each race has its own tech-tree, which allows for the construction of diverse, multifunctional units of warfare. Players familiar with- Warcraft II or Starcraft will notice that game focus in Warcraft III has shifted to smaller numbers of individual units rather than massive quantities of expendable cannon fodder. This change renders the environment more like Diablo, and thus Blizzard successfully combines the best play elements of its previous titles into one awesome game. The standard version sells for $39.99 at Amazon or Best Buy. True diehards can pick up the special Collector's Edition for $59.99, which includes an audio CD, DVD and full-color guidebook. Both versions include previews of Blizzard's new massively- multiplayer online universe, entitled World of Warcraft, slated for release in 2003.

ASI Early Learning Center (ELC). ASI currently subsidizes the ELC, however the grants would help alleviate costs to run the center and would be used to pay for teachers' salaries. The ELC is a childcare program for children two to five years old, and provides care for the children of CSUSM students, faculty, staff, and the community. At the board meeting, Gonzalez told of the need for a site supervisor for the ELC. The supervisor would teach in classroom 3, the preschool class, and would relieve some of the teachers. The site supervisor would also serve as a sounding board for ELC teachers and adult volunteers, and work in conjunction with Joyce Williams, ELC Program Director. The ELC supervisor should have a master's degree in human or child development, be an expert in curriculum and counseling, and have early childhood education units. The board plans to pay the site supervisor with the money that would have gone to an ELC teacher who left the center. Gonzalez also announced the need for an independent contractor to assess the ELC. The contractor would assess curriculum, staffing, and the finance of the center. The costs for the assessment report, travel costs, consultation, and future contact with the contractor would be $3,000. There is the hope among the board that the ELC will move on campus in a few years, with plans and a building layout already in progress. ELC tuition may change, according to an ELC rep. Currently CSUSM students pay either $22 or $15 a day for ELC tuition, depending on a fullday program or part- day program for their child. CSUSM faculty and staff pay either $25 or $27 per day, and community members pay $27 or $18 per day for tuition. For The Pride Faculty members at all 22 Cal State campuses are threatening a strike if current talks with administrators do not yield a new contract. "I think it's highly likely that we will strike," said George Diehr, a Cal State San Marcos faculty member and member of the faculty's bargaining team. "There's been no effort to bargain productively or in good faith." The California Faculty Association and the Cal State administration have been in negotiations since last April, and have yet to come to an agreement for the faculty's next threeyear contract. Two weeks after the current contract expired on June 30, the Public Employees Relations Board declared in impasse in the bargaining. Both sides are engaging in meetings with a mediator that could last through October. The California Faculty Association bargains for all 22,000 Cal State faculty in the state. Cal State San Marcos has about 150 faculty union members, and 374 total full- and part-time faculty. The faculty is asking for a 5.7 percent average salary increase, including a 3 percent increase across the board, Diehr Sundance AwardWinning Film Director Comes to GSUSM By VICTORIA B.

They are also seeking more compensation for part-time faculty, extended contracts for parttime faculty, equal pay for teaching during the summer, and the hiring of more full-time faculty. The Cal State administration claims the governor and state legislature determine its budget, including salary increases, and that it is not able to meet the faculty's demands. "The governor gave us a 2 percent package," said Mary Elizabeth Stivers, Cal State San Marcos Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs and a member, of the administration's bargaining team. "We say, the governor gave us 2 percent, and that's what we're giving."

By JENNIFER HOLMES and DUSTIN NAYLOR Pride Staff Writers As rescue teams in New York City and Washington D.C. continue to work around the clock to recover and rescue victims, several CSUSM clubs have come together to show their remorse and support for individuals suffering from the Sept 11 tragedy. During last week's Business Expo/Club Fundraising events, organizations including the Anime Project Alliance, Sigma Iota Epsilon, and the Victorious Club coordinated a flower drive on Wednesday and Thursday to raise money. They purchased approximately 75 roses and 70 Times Disaster Relief Fund, which will match $.50 on the dollar, according to another coordinator, Chris Donahue of Sigma Iota Epsilon, which is an honorary management fraternity. "If other clubs want to donate flowers or help maintain the booth, we welcome them," said Donahue. "They are also encouraged to donate by purchasing flowers from the booth."

If the mediation process does not yield a new contract, both sides enter into factfinding - one representative from each side and an outside arbitrator will comb through the issues and make a recommendation. If a compromise is not reached after the factfinding report is released at the end of this semester, Diehr said the faculty would strike. Cal State administrators say they are not sure at what point the administration would give in should there be a strike. "It's hard to say," Stivers said. "If 90 percent of the faculty go on strike, we would then talk about how to resolve this." Last year, faculty at universities in Hawaii went on strike for two weeks before the administration settled on a contract. If a university is closed for more than two" weeks, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges will not count the semester for accreditation purposes. During the strike, the Hawaiian faculty union said it was willing to sponsor student lawsuits to gain their units back if the semester was thrown out. Cal State faculty has never gone on strike before, and Stivers said she hopes the situation does not come down to that. "I am hopeful that we can resolve this before it gets to that point," she said. "In the end, the people most affected by a strike are the students." Diehr said whether or not there is a strike is up to the administration, noting that the chancellor has imposed his own deal twice before when negotiations where at an impasse. "They don't believe we will strike, therefore they don't bargain," Diehr said. "Ergo, we have to strike." If the faculty do strike, it will happen sometime during the spring semester, after all the state-mandated bargaining meetings have taken place. S tudents!

On Monday morning, Sept. 17, after a four-day closure, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) reopened with a symbolic and humble beginning. New York Emergency and Fire Rescue workers rang the opening bell, signifying the start of trading. After pausing for a two-minute moment of silence before the market's opening, Richard Grasso, Chairman of the NYSE, said, "This couldn't have happened without them . .. Our heroes will now open the market place." The sound of the bell was almost muted by the applause of the crowd. After an initial plummet, the market stabilized briefly. At the end of Monday's trading, the market showed signs of strength. Other than drastic drops in insurance, airline, and financial service markets, it was a relatively average day on Wall Street. As more information throughout the week pointed to the United States moving toward war, stocks continued to fall and trading ended on Friday with the worst one-week drop since July of 1933, during the Great Depression. The Dow Jones fell 14.2 percent or almost 1,370 points, equaling approximately $1.4 trillion in market value losses. "Fear was stronger than greed," commented Beatrice Black for National Public Radio's ( NPR) Market Place, s umming u p the feelings around Wall Street. The mood in New York's financial district was one of uncertainty. "Anyone who bought yesterday looks like a moron today. And if you buy today, you're worried about looking like an idiot tomorrow. The likelihood of looking like an idiot next week is quite high," said Dominic Freud, of European stocks at S.G. Cowan in New York, during an interview o n N PR's Market Place. Although there is an air of fear permeating the market, the travel industry, including airlines and hotels, is taking the brunt of the losses. American and TWA have both halted meal services in an attempt to save money. 75,000 airline jobs have been cut across the board. The New York City hotel industry is reporting a 45 percent capacity, rather than the seasonal 75 percent. And, hitting closer to home, Tijuana's downtown sector of three to five-star hotels report 90 percent of their reservations have been cancelled due to border and travel problems, according to Judy Martin during an interview on NPR. Congress has agreed on an immediate expenditure of $5 billion to help bolster the airline industry, with a promise for $10 billion in loan guarantees. This is an attempt to reestablish public confidence and help to return the United States to a sense of normalcy. Bill Nelson, D. Senator of Florida, said returning the airline industry to normalcy is a "very essential first step" on the road to economic recovery. In spite of the negative circumstances in financial areas around the country, many investors said they believe that the market will bounce backh and the drop in stock prices could actually be a golden opportunity for some beginning investors. Looking at past domestic disasters, the drop in market value following the incidents lasted for a short time and then rose to even higher levels, mirroring consumer Confidence. "We've suffered a direct economic impact, but the ripple effect is troubling," said Hilary Rodham Clinton, a D. Senator of New York, during a CNN interview Friday morning. Rodham Clinton said that people around the country need to keep going, and should not withdraw from their everyday activities. In an attempt to alleviate some of the ripple effect she said, "we need to tend to everyday business . .. live our lives." Second Forum Held at GSUSM t o Discuss Terrorism Attacks »Article cont.from pg. 1 a member of the American Council on Education Fellow, spoke on media and terrorism. "If we give up our civil liberties then the terrorists have won," said Dr. Bethami Dobkin. Student Darren Marks, a senior and member of the student organization, Young Americans for Freedom, agreed with Dobkin's statement about not allowing the terrorists to "win" by giving up civil liberties. "I will guarantee you that this type of terrorism will happen again in the future," he said. Another student representative, Ricardo Favela, from Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (M.E.Ch.A.,), also spoke Thursday afternoon. Favela and fellow student Isabel Soliz set up an altar last week as part of an independent study on Founders' Plaza in remembrance of those that lost their lives in the attacks. Panel members also discussed the racism and violence - towards Muslims, and people of Arab descent. Other professors on the panel included: Farid Mahdavi and Patty Seleski, history professors, Susie Cassel, literature and writing and ethnic studies professor, Liliana Rossman, communication professor, Peter Zwick, Director of University Global Affairs, Staci Beavers, political science professor, Wesley Schultz, psychology professor, and Don Barrett, sociology professor. Tuesday, September 25,2001 3 Graduation Open Forum in the Works Robert McArdle, his children, and a fellow student helped chalk the CSUSM stairs. (Pride Photo/Melanie Addington) By STEPHANIE BAIRD Pride Staff Writer Students will notice a bit more color on campus in the next few weeks, due to a group of graduating seniors who are chalking the steps around the university to demonstrate their unhappiness with the university's decision to hold this year's commencement off campus. The group of students, led by Robert McArdle, a senior and liberal studies major, began chalking the steps leading down to the first floor of Craven Hall, near the flag pole. "Seniors unite," is now the colorful message that welcomes individuals as they walk up the steps. "We want to bring student awareness to the administration's decision to move graduation off campus," said McArdle. "We're letting student voices be heard, when administration should have done it in the first place." The seniors working with McArdle include Bryan Clark, Beverly Huss, Alicia Mendivil, and James Tellez. They have organized a graduation open forum for students that will take place Thursday, Oct. 11 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. on the steps of Founders' Plaza, outside of Academic Hall 102. McArdle announced the upcoming forum during the ASI Board of Director's meeting on Friday. The open forum will be a place for students to discuss their thoughts, complaints, and suggestions concerning the graduation ceremonies, according to McArdle. Students will have the opportunity to voice their opinion and create awareness for the entire campus about the current graduation plans. We're hitting seniors first because it (graduation) will hit them first," said McArdle. "We have administrators who said they'd come to the forum, along with the Assistant to the President, Student and Residential Life, ASI." The students are trying to find more sponsors for their cause. They presently have the Future Educators Club as a direct sponsor for the graduation forum. McArdle said that he recently sent out 5,704 e-mails to students and faculty announcing the need for a graduation open forum and received 2,166 responses. "I got tons of support. Out of the 2,166 e-mails I got back, only three were negative," said McArdle. "In half of those e-mails, I got people who thought graduation was still at Palomar." Commencement 2001-2002 will be held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. For more information, contact Robert McArdle at mcard001@csusm.edu. INVESTMENT STRATEGIES THAT ARE CLEAR AND CONCISE.

"And John Forbes was one of the most detrimental things to happen to Indians," said Eyre, who described Forbes' earlier movies, like 1939's "Stagecoach," as portraying Native Americans with no culture. Eyre described Forbes' 1964 film, "Cheyenne Autumn," however, as the redemption movie. "He took back his portrayal of Indians," said Eyre. Eyre, who is originally from Klamath Falls, Oregon, said he got involved with photography before he began working with film. "I never intended to work with actors," said Eyre. "I never thought about the representation of Native-Americans when I was growing up. Eyre also reflected on the recent attack in New York City and Washington, D.C.

"It's been on the table for about three years now," said Eyre. "But nobody's stepping up to the plate. There's no marquee Indian actor." Students also asked how Eyre competes with more highbudgeted films with special effects, a contrast to Eyre's "home dramas," as he described them, and his films, like "Skins," which cost $2.5 million to film. "I read somewhere that when no one's looking, you can make a good movie," said Eyre.

On Monday, we heard the world-acclaimed alto-saxophonist, Charles McPherson. Tuesday we will hear jazz guitarist Peter Sprague, and his own style of musical magic. Not to worry though, there are still three more cutting-edge jazz composers waiting to heat up the mid-day lunch hour. Classic jazz vocal artist Marguerita Page will perform Wednesday, Steve Feierabend, a tenor saxophonist and composer, will perform Thursday, and the jazz series will conclude on Friday with Hollis Gentry. The jazz festival is sponsored by the Arts and Lectures Series at Cal State San Marcos, Score Less By KEVIN HAWK Pride Staff Writer Thirty minutes into the movie, the couple to my right rose out of their reclining chairs and briskly walked down the stairs to the door. Five minutes later, the man to my left stood and carelessly jolted across the isle, knocking over my water as he fled for the exit sign. Three minutes later, I leaned forward in an effort to stand. Reminded that I had to write a review, I reluctantly sank back into the padded chair. Disappointed, I turned the page on my notepad and began doodling. A flash from the movie screen called for my attention. There stood Edward Norton. He began to stumble down the brick-layered Montreal street, voluntarily shaking, head cocked to one side. My d isappointment quickly turned to interest. Frank Oz, who in the past has concentrated on some memorable comedies, including "What About Bob?," decided to play it safe with his first thriller, "The Score," using a plot soiled and washed so many times, the color has faded. "The Score" may have scored enough points to keep the game interesting by providing some sparks and suspense in the final scenes, but when the game ended, Edward Norton was left empty handed, scratching his head (don't worry Edward, you weren't the only one). Norton's performance wasn't the reason "The Score" fell short, but rather it was an over-used game plan. Even though Oz recruited an all-star cast including Robert Dinero (Nick), Edward Norton (Jack/ Brian), Marlon Brando (Matf), and Angela Bassett (Diane), how did he expect his team to win when the opposition (audience) knew their every move? He couldn't. Nick and Brian both work for Max, a shameless man who uses self-pity and whining to keep Nick active. Max needs Nick, a polished jewel thief, to take one last job. Max coordi- nates an easy plan (easy because he makes the plan), using Nick and Brian to retrieve an ancient scepter held i n. the Montreal Custom's House that is worth millions and will solve everyone's problems. Max can pay off his debts and, in return, live. Nick, who usually abandons a job at the slightest insecure feeling, commits anyway. He wants to pay off his lazy jazz club and marry his girlfriend Diana (Bassett). Jack will establish himself in the jewelry thief business and make more money than he can spend. It's a win-win situation for everyone, almost. The highlight of the movie is Brian, Edward Norton's character in the film. Brian is a mentally challenged person who takes advantage of everyone around him at the Custom's House, where he works as a janitor. Norton's previous roles, including a racist, hatred-filled turned compassionate character in "American History X" and a split personality in "Primal Fear," have established him as a premier actor. The final heist in "The Score" goes down in a suspenseful yet abusive fashion; only one thief escapes with the treasure. The assortment of equipment Nick uses to complete the heist compared in length to the minutes the movie ran: too many. Nick pulled out gadget after gadget from his bottomless sack. "The Score" did show one original quality; much of the movie focused on the preparation for the heist, which made for some stagnant scenes, doing more harm than good. When Nick and Jack actually performed the heist, I already knew what to expect. Confused, I didn't know whether to feel cheated, or lucky to receive twice the value of admission. Frank Oz may have failed in his first try at a thriller, but he shouldn't get discouraged. Moviegoers are very forgiving. Frank, don't settle on your favorite .hand-me-down shirt, you already know how it's going to feel when you put it on. Take a chance with a new shirt, one you alone picked out. Take it home and wear it. which also sponsors "La Paz Tras el Cerco," or "Peace under Siege," a photography exhibit in the Library Gallery. The exhibit, which opened Sept. 5, is a collection of photographs portraying images of violence and unrest in Mexico.

Well, besides completely satisfying the typical movie-going American audience, you create "Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation." Why spend eight bucks to sit through Hollywood's latest plot-deficient pathetic excuse for entertainment, when you can take that same wad of cash and witness pure (but not innocent) animated comedy with the sick and twisted features we all secretly desire. "This year wasn't the best," said Farrida Castro, who attended the festival. "On a scale from one to 10, I give it a seven. But they showed 'Rejected,' one of my all-time favorites." When a few handwritten words appeared on the screen, you could feel the audiences' hopeful anticipation as everyone shifted themselves to the edge of their seats. The words read: "A bitter cartoon," by Don Hertzfeldt. People behind me were giving high-fives as they knew what was to come; just then the image on-screen switched to one sloppy handwritten title: "Rejected." Half of the audience jumped out of their chairs, cheered, hooted, and laughed, and that was just the title. Feeling like friends at a bachelor party when the huge papier-mache cake is brought out, the other half of the audience and I knew we were in for a real treat. Stick-figure animation, con- versation bubbles and cheesy elevator music, cooked together with a few clever lines of harsh relationship-ending cliches and low-tech violence made for about the most hilarious two minutes of my life. "No Neck Joe" was another crowd-pleaser, this time starring a young Joe who,, unsurprisingly, has no neck. These 30-second cartoons sporadically placed throughout the festival have such titles as "Joe Go.es Star-Gazing" and "First Hickey." But these are definitely not why this festival boasts "Sick and Twisted" in its name. The majority of these animations have graphic and disturbing violence, such as heads ripping off, or mutilation by rabid animals. A nine-minute animation set in a fancy Italian restaurant, involved several characters shooting vomit into each other's mouths, while waiters tried to drain the building by hand so the puke wouldn't overflow into the streets - that was disgustingly hilarious. There was even a sick and twisted sexual parody of a typical preschool book, where audiences can "See Spot Run," and "Watch Spot Hump Jane." In 1977, Craig "Spike" Decker and Mike Gribble collaborated to promote underground bands including their own "Sterno & the Flames." To make ends meet, they occasionally held all-night horror-a-thons, showed classic rock 'n roll films like "Jimmy Plays Berkeley" and "Quadraphenia," and premiered original short animations like "Bambi meets Godzilla," which soon developed into a cult favor- ite. Spike and Mike soon realized the potential in this previously untouched entertainment genre, and embarked on one of America's greatest forms of entertainment when they created Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation. The annual Animation Festival began in 1990 and is growing more popular every year, despite the unfortunate death of Mike Gribble in 1992. The festival is not only a great form of alternative entertainment, but has also spawned some of America's most famous animation superstars, such as Beavis and Butthead. As for Comedy Central's hit matureaudience cartoon, South Park, well, that too started at the Sick and Twisted Animation Festival. It is home to "Spirit of Christmas," the original, uncensored South Park cartoon by Matt Stone and Trey Parker. If you're one of the thousands that still cry when Bambi's mom is shot, avoid this festival; but if Disney's tear-jerking sagas failed to touch your heart, then this version is going to smack your funny bone. The Sick and Twisted Festival will play in different parts of San Diego until Nov. 17. Call Landmark's Ken Cinema at (619) 283-5909 for show times, contact Ticket Master, or get all the information, plus other sick and twisted animations on-line at www.spikeandmike.com. Tickets are $6.75 or $8 dollars, depending on if you remember to bring your student ID for the discount. �Ever since the tragic events of Tuesday, Sept. 11, our world has changed. Not only on the grand scale of military action and how we view our freedom, but also on our campus. The anguish felt around the nation is felt here, as is the anxious guessing of what will happen next. Those feelings have sparked a lively debate in and out of our classrooms. Everyone seems to have an opinion about what the United States' next move should be - either to bomb the smithereens out of the Middle East or to peacefully do nothing and avert nuclear war. Others are blaming Arab Americans and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

By RICHARD SAUNDERS F o r The Pride There is a country that stands tall and true, And guess what America that country is you. Mysterious knowledge of the past you mask.

How did someone get enough money together to pay for the attacks on Sept. 11? Throughout Saudi Arabia, bin Laden has many "charities" to which wealthy Saudi businessmen contribute millions of dollars. Where is this money coming from? Oil. OPEC, of which Saudi Arabia is the primary organizer, is our main source of oil. Every time you turn on a light switch, cook a meal, pave an asphalt road, and run your car, you are putting money into bin Laden's pocket. What can we do? Stop buying oil from nations like Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has not spent the money on her people or land. Our money is not being spent on helping a country thrive; it's being spent on threatening our lives. Who can we call on to change this? Contact your representatives, senators, and local officials. We shouldn't have to pay to be terrorized, yet that is exactly what is going on. (To read the full essay with supporting references, go to http:// home.earthlinkjiet/~firerock/) E.A. Jensen Santa Monica Correction During the tragedy of the WTC and Pentagon terrorist attacks, I made an unfortunate mistake. I had received a wonderful forward, from many friends, of a prayer. As a result, like I do with all forwards, I cut the text from that message and sent it as a new message to many of my friends. Seeing as I had also received e-mail from The Pride, I decided to place that e-mail address on the list. I had hoped that it would be placed in the school publication as an e-mail that had been sent out as a reaction to the terrorist attacks. However it was published as if I had been the author of that prayer. I am sorry for the confusion and wish that I knew who the true author of the prayer was so that s/he could receive credit. I thank my family in New York for sending me the e-mail, and I also thank The Pride for sharing the e-mail with the rest of the student body and faculty that read The Pride. I feel that the more people that read this prayer the better; however^ I in no way mean to take credit away from the true author of the letter. Megan Crea Letters to the Editors Praise and Condemn? In this time of national tragedy and grief that American citizens everywhere are sharing, I am writing this letter to you to voice my shame in The Pride. In the article "Students Respond Differently to Tragedy," the authors are blatantly finger-pointing and showing an irreverence to fellow student's emotions. While it may be true that many students needed silence for reflection and prayer, it is also important to consider that other students deal with their emotions differently. While some students were trying to deal with the sheer shock of the events that were unfolding, others were angered and their anger was finding a cathartic route through music. How can the authors praise some students, and yet, condemn others for the way they chose to come to grips with the reality of our situation? The job of journalists is to present news in a professional and unbiased manner to allow for the reader to come to their own conclusions. The media is powerful and has the means to shape readers views and opinions. Please do not abuse this power by promoting discord among our students, especially in a time that calls for unity, understanding and the freedom of expression among Americans. Tammi Illingworth Razor Knives Dear Editors: Why have I not heard an outcry from the gun control nuts blaming razor knives for air piracy and calling for their registration/restriction/ confiscation? Bill Holmes �The Pride __ Opinion Tuesday, September 25, 2001 7 The Critical Thinking Cliche Battle of the Sexes By JOSEPH SANCHEZ For The Pride At first it amused me, but then the steady bombardment of it began to upset me. In spite of all the talk, the implications were clear: CSUSM only uses the term "Critical Thinking" as a cliche. I sat through class after class, listening to professor after professor solemnly pontificate about the importance of critical thinking, and how that was one of the central goals of their class, "I want to help you think critically about these important subjects, etc, etc." Haven't we all heard this, or is this only the mantra of the humanities department? The joke being of course that we have no philosophy department! We have only two philosophy professors, and one of them was hired just this year. As I pondered this humorous state of affairs, I realized that there might be more than just bureaucracy involved. After all, didn't one of my Lit professors respond to a claim that he was contradicting himself with," It's postmodernism, it doesn't have to be logical." Now the term critical thinking does not imply that an argument need only have logical coherence, but logic is an important, possibly foundational, part of it. If postmodernists have reinvented the wheel (or questioned its existence), then why do they keep the term? Because it empowers them with the illusion of being real critical thinkers when in fact they are just ideological peddlers. The problem is real. Take for example the lack of critical thinking over abortion. The real issue involved is not the right of a woman to her own body, nor is it the moral problem with murder. Both sides, I think, have basic agreement in regard to those issues. The real issue is what defines a human life? Instead of engaging each other over this question each side prefers to ridicule the other. By claiming that women's rights are at stake, ProChoice thinkers create a false dichotomy in which they are the enlightened humanitarians and Pro-Choicer thinkers are backwards Neanderthals wishing only to subjugate women. Similarly, Pro-Choice thinkers distance others with psychologically devastating claims about murder and holocaust. Both of these claims are only potentially true. They become true if and only when the unborn fetus is proven to be either human or not human. This is where they should be engaging each other. This does not necessarily imply that our society is hopelessly irrational. I simply used this as a common illustration that we can all relate to. Change Payment Plan to Avoid Making Students Angry and Frustrated By CONSTANCE CHUA Pride Staff Writer The time has arrived and here we are in a new semester. Looking forward to meeting new friends and having a smooth transition from last semester to this semester? I hope you had a nice summef break that will give you enough energy to fight for your rights. As a senior here at California State University San Marcos, I was very prepared to register on tiijie to take all my required classes to graduate. I registered some time in May of 2001 or June of 2001 and got my entire schedule set for my school and work. When a schedule is set normally it would make a person's life easier, but not in this case here at Cal State University San Marcos. The reason for that is because someone suggested to whomever is in charge with changing our payment options, that it would be better if they received funds 10 days after a student registers for classes. From a business perspective, when you buy something you normally get something out of it, which is understandable. Which means, if we register we should pay our registration fees. However, there should be some kind of set guideline that is convenient for students, such as making sure that if they have a loan, their payment will be deferred, or make them pay as soon as they attend classes. What I mean is that many student that I have talked to at the very beginning of the school semester had to crash all of their classes due to their classes being cancelled by the Admissions Office for not paying within 10 days of registration. But for those of us who are graduating, it might be difficult to just crash a class in order to fit our schedules. On exactly Aug. 21, 2001 2 p.m. in the afternoon, I met with my close friend, Patrice Labao here at school to get ahead with the semester and buy a parking permit and books. When I came to the bookstore ready to buy a book and punch in my Student ID number along with my code, the computer screen read, "you are not registered." "When a schedule is set normally it would make a person's life easier, but not in this case here at CSUSM.'9 I started to panic and hyperventilate. I felt a little mad, to slightly describe it, blood rushing to my head, and I had a major migraine. I rushed to the Admissions Office and asked about my status within this University. I spoke with a young woman and she stated, "Well, we dropped your classes because we did not receive your payment on time." I responded, "I have a student loan here at Cal State and I have been attending this University a little over four years and I have always had a deferred payment." And she responded, "Why don't you check with the Financial Aid Office because it looks like they needed some information from you." I was very frustrated. I felt like I was betrayed iand neglected. I stood in line for about 10 minutes until I spoke with a lady name Hedy. She was a very nice lady and was very helpful and told me that she needed more paperwork from me. I didn't want to be angry with her because it was not her fault that this happened to me. But as I can recall in the previous semesters, if the Financial Aid Office needed some information from me, then they would mail me a letter informing me that they needed additional information. However, they cancelled my registration as of July 10, 2001 without notifying me. Not only did it create animosity towards the students and staff, but also towards students and Cal State's systematic way of doing things. Furthermore, as soon as I got signatures from the classes that I crashed, the Admissions Office had the audacity to impose a $25 late registration fee. I urge all students who have or have had the similar situation as I have to please question our system. We are talking about our money here. We all should carefully examine fees that are imposed in our registration payment. I suggest that you look at your printout very carefully and see how many types of recreational fees they imposed. We, the students here at California State University San Marcos can make a difference, but we all have to do something about it now. This week: Why don't some guys talk after sex instead of just falling asleep? Battled by JUSTIN ANDREWS and KIMBOYARSKI Justin: Think about what happens when you're "doing it": frictional sensations pulsating through thousands of nerves, and your muscle contracting and dilating over and over again, all while an overdose of serotonin flows through your body like Johnny Raver with a sack of candy. I don't expect you to understand, but believe me, after a long day in the brush, a nap is more than called for. Plus, we have to call in the troops before they can go into battle, and sustaining those troops takes a different kind of flow than Uncle Sam's wallet. a pleasant breather since the estrogen dam gave way). You girls might want to notice that your regular position of just lying there like Jane Doe in a coma could possibly be why you're not getting your intended prescription.

XVIII NO. 5 TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2007 Board of Trustees approves executive pay raises F aculty a nd s tudents o utraged o ver a pproved p roposal BY BENROFFEE Pride Staff Writer After hearing Chancellor Reed's proposal, the CSU Board of Trustees voted last Tuesday, Sept. 18, to increase executive salaries for the second time this year, this time by an average of 11 percent. The approved pay raise will grant CSU presidents and various other CSU executives pay raises retroactive to July 2007, meaning that CSU executives will receive compensation equal to their new salary for the months since July on top of their immediate raises. This decision comes in spite of protest from California Faculty Association, government officials, and CSU students, whose primary concern is with the timing of these raises as the CSU budget is in upheaval, With these new rounds of raises for executives coinciding with a thinning budget and a 10 percent student fee hike, the unpopularity of this decision seems to have rekindled the tension between CSU executives and the rest of the faculty and students. CFA president Lillian Taiz, speaking on behalf of the CFA, criticized the proposal and the CSU Board of Trustees' decision at in her address to the Board at Tuesday's meeting. "Your actions today make it very clear that executive salaries are the only issues this board seems determined to address. We wish you would find the same level of determination when dealing with skyrocketing fees and overcrowded classrooms that you do when providing executives raise." Lt. Governor John Garamendi, a member of the Board by merit o fhis office, expressed concern over the proposed salary increases. "This is clearly tied to a student fee increase. I cannot think of a worse way to convey yourselves to the legislature when you are going to have ask for more money in the budget process in the coming months." Garemendi also requested that the board put off the proposed salary increases until the next Board of Trustees meeting pending passage of AB 1430 and SB 190 as law from the Governor's office. These pieces of legislation would increase the transparency of executive salary discussions and limit the amount of money executives can make for their work. In a conference call with reporters last Thursday, Sept. 20, Chancellor Reed stated that "one of the things that we're going to do.. .is set that up to allow the Governor and the Legislature to 'buy out' that fee increase."

Despite discrepancies in the reliability and accuracy of this data, the Chancellor will continue to work to close this purported salary gap, aiming to close it completely by 2010. Since the California Postsecondary Commission halted its executive salary studies based on inadequate data on CSU executive benefits, Chancellor Reed commissioned Mercer Human Resource Consultation to conduct comparative salary studies. BJJ, both in self-defense techniques and in ground submissions. At the start of the class, students warm up with simple partner exercises. From there, students learn positional control techniques, as well as various joint locks and chokes from these positions. Unlike some other martial arts, students can practice most BJJ techniques at full speed against a resisting partner, which has the advantage of giving students a much more realistic learning experience. After a fair share of practice, students get the chance to try their newly mastered moves on each other in brief sparring matches at the end of the class. Sophomore, Alex Wang, f requently attends the course and explains that he decided to t ry it out because "I had f ree time and had an interest in martial arts." When asked what he enjoyed most about the class, Alex stated that "learning to defend yourself When asked why his office chose t o commission the Mercer group instead of supply the necessary data to CPEC, the Chancellor stated that "the Mercer Group is a nationally respected organization." Chancellor Reed went on to explain that the Mercer study only does a "cash compensation analysis because it is very d ifficult to get Universities...to disclose all of their benefits." The limited scope of this study does raise important questions about the effectiveness of this study as a basis for executive compensation decisions like the one made at Tuesday's meeting. With the growing awareness of the CSU faculty, s taff, and students, it is clear that f uture executive raises will not pass without rigid scrutiny. In an e ffort headed by the California State Student Association t o involve the public in the Board's decisions, students will soon be able to apply to become one of two Student Trustees to the CSU Board of Trustees. Between new legislative regulations, budget crisis, new representation on the Board, and an unrelenting body of staff and students, the authority of the CSU Board of Trustees to approve executive compensation increases in the f uture has some new obstacles to overcome.

In addition to the actual techniques learned, Alex tells the Pride that " it's also a good workout, especially for stamina." In j ust one hour, students learn a lot of techniques that give them an edge in potentially dangerous situations.

The Packers proved their point against the Bolts in a dramatic fashion, winning on a last-minute touchdown by NFL great, Brett Favre. Favre entered the game just three away from tying Dan Marino's record of 420 career touchdowns. The Chargers attacked first when quarterback, Philip Rivers passed to tight end, Vincent Jackson for 27 yards and the touchdown, to take the 7-0 lead. Packers quarterback, Brett Favre heated up early in the second quarter, passing to wide receiver, Donald Driver for a short touchdown with 11:53 on the clock. Later in the quarter, Favre hooked up with tight end, Bubba Franks for another short touchdown pass, making Favre just one touchdown pass away from tying the all-time record. The Chargers tightened things up in the final minutes of the quarter when Rivers connected with wide receiver, Buster Davis for a 9 yard touchdown, bringing the Packers lead to only three at the half. LaDainian Tomlinson returned tQ the limelight in the third quarter, taking the lead with a 21 yard touchdown reception, maneuvering in typical LT fashion en route to the end zone. The Packers fought back with two minutes l eft in the game, as Brett Favre passed for his r ecoritying 420th career t ouchdown,' connecting with wide receiver, Greg Jennings for 57 yards and the lead. The Packers capitalized on a Philip Rivers interception, taking on some insurance with a Brandon Jackson rushing touchdown, pushing the score to 31-21. Nate Kaeding kicked a 44-yard field goal on the Chargers final drive in hopes to set up an onside kick comeback, but it wasn't enough to hold off Green Bay, who issued the Chargers their second straight loss by a score of 31-24. The Packers improved to 3-0, their best start since 2001. The Chargers record is now 1-2, as they head home to take on the 12 Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday at 1:15p.m. on CBS.

From its modest beginnings in the fall of 1998 in Menlo Park, California, Google has had a mission: " to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." Flash forward nine years, and Google is the most used search engine on the web, with more than half of the world's web-search market share. There is no doubt Google reigns supreme on the web, and with publicly traded stock hovering around the 550.00 mark, Google is clearly a monetary staple as well. One of the perks of bringing in roughly $10.6 billion a year is the ability to innovate with advancements that just might characterize the future of the web. Google re-invented email in 2004, with the release of the highly touted, Gmail which featured unprecedented spam filtering and an unheard of storage capacity that allowed users to "archive" read mail, rather than permanently deleting it.

Google Presentation can also be a key tool for Macintosh users who's 30-day trial of Keynote (Macintosh's presentation software) has expired.

While still reveling in the success of the iPod, their new product the iPhone, keeps the company competitive in a lucrative, ultra fast growing and ever changing industry. The company began directly selling the iPhone June 29. iPhone seekers can also purchase the phone through AT&T. Apple's main offices are located in Cupertino, California. The company's last fiscal year grossed a whopping 19.3 billion dollars. The company incorporated in 1977 as Apple Computers. In January of this year, the company dropped the word "Computer" from their flame and simply became Apple Inc. The iPhone combines multiple uses in one unit. The cellular phone allows users to snap pictures, listen to music, send and receive both e-mails and visual voicemails. The phone also enables users to browse the internet. Unlike most cellular phones, the phone uses a virtual touch screen. Currently, the 8-Gigabyte iPhone sells for almost $400 dollars. The initial 8 GB iPhone dinged consumers $600 dollars, although it did not discourage scores of eager consumers from waiting in long lines. As a reward to it loyal buyers, the company credited $100 those who bought it for its original price. The company dropped the 4 GB version earlier this month. AT&T will continue to exclusively sell the phone until 2009 or later. AT&T offers the phone to customers with a minimum two-year contract. During September and following months, the phone ships out to foreign countries such as Germany and France. As in any industry, the iPhone faces fierce competition.

Anyway... obviously, these rankings will give power to the people and we can topple some crap professors. Yeah. Right. Now all we need is a Facebook group to make the revolution official. *actual quote BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer Ten out of ten college students (I actually just asked two guys in an elevator and multiplied by five) agree that college would be perfect if it weren't for classes. They put a damper on all the drinking binges and wild orgies my grandmother fears. So, let's discuss. There are different types of classes involved in ruining the university experience, which I divide by f rustration level. I like to evaluate them from one to three "You Can't Be Serious's." Let's go through two of my classes and grade them, so then you can do it to yours. MUSC 120: After three years of college, being forced to take an intro class angered me. I may or may not have turned bright green and ripped my clothes yelling, "TORIA ANGRY." On the first day, my professor, who reminds me of a kindly muppet, informs us that there won't be a midterm or final. I suddenly fear he's going to make us all hold hands and Kumbayah it up. In addition, I'm sure there are plenty of good people in the class, but I sat next to the one drawing the naked woman with cartoon breasts. Schmuck.

But that was last year and this is this year. For a larger variety of predictions I am going to tell you all about both Tim Moore's and mine, followed* by my results of simulating 25 seasons on NHL 08. The first thing I am going to talk about is the President Trophy, which goes to the team with the most points at the end of the regular season. I believe that the Detroit Red Wings are going to walk into the post season with home ice advantage throughout the playoffs because they are in the weakest division in hockey. They get to face a deflated Nashville Predators, St. Louis Blues, Chicago Blackhawks and Columbus Blue Jackets. Tim Moore lias both the Buffalo Sabres and Anaheim Ducks on top of their conferences while NHL 08 had the Sabres win the trophy ten times. The Hart Trophy goes to the leagues MVP, which I feel is going to go to the same guy who won it last year, Sidney Crosby. The 20 year old Crosby put the Pittsburgh Penguins on his shoulders and carried them into the playoffs and will be doing it again. Moore believes that Tampa Bay Lightening's Vincent Lecavalier will be the leagues MVP, while NHL 08 had Atlanta Thrashers Ilya Kovalchuk winning it eight times. The Art Ross Trophy goes to the player with the most points at the end of the season. Moore and I are on the same page with this, believing that Crosby is going to runaway with the award. I feel that Crosby is going to hit the 125 mark this year with Evgeni Malkin playing on the same line with him. NHL 08 believes that Kovalchuk is going to win this award with 103 points. The Vezina goes to the top goaltender and I feel that Roberto Luongo will take this award over the NHL 08's choice of Martin Brodeur. Brodeur lost some talented players in front of him and will need to carry the New Jersey Devils in order for them to have a good season. Moore says that the award will be going to Dominik Hasek who is coming back after a great year in Detroit. But the big predictions come for the playoffs. I believe that the Ducks are going to be a much stronger team come playoff time once, yes I said once because they are coming back, Teemu Selanne.and Scott Niedermayer come back. They will be winning the Stanley Cup over the Philadelphia Flyers in 4 games. The Flyers will have room to add Peter Forsberg or some other veteran talent at the trade deadline and make a strong run in the playoffs. Moore has the Penguins winning the cup over the Red Wings, while NHL 08 has the Sabres winning the cup over the San Jose Sharks in 5 games.

Business Major HPvHpl QHBHhI �A&E THE PRIDE Tuesday; September 25, 2007 Old Viscosity Ale Jiallapxeinios BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Port Brewing brews Old Viscosity Ale in San Marcos, California. Cougars are fortunate to be associated with such a fine microbrewery. The brewery began in 1992 when Yince and Gina Marsaglia began brewing in their home. In 1993 the couple began brewing on a seven barrel system in Solana Beach. Eventually, the brewery expanded their operations to Carlsbad and San Clemente. In early 2006, the brewery purchased Stone Brewing's old facility, another local brewery in San Marcos, and increased their production for distribution purposes. Currently, the brewery can produce up to 5*000 barrels. They also have an oak barrel room for aged specialty beers such as Old Viscosity Ale. The ale's nickname, "The Big Black Nasty", sums up the distinct characteristics. The dark brown tinted 22-ounce glass bottle contains a blue and faint gray colored label. The label contains a picture of an antique truck being serviced by a faceless man. A shiny silvery cap bottles the ale with an alcohol by volume of 10 percent, twice the amount of an average beer. The strong ABV should be taken into consideration during consumption, i.e., sitting down on a chair, maybe even in a padded room. The ale has a powerful and distinguishing fragrance. The brain struggles to categorize the aroma with any learned scents in the brain's database. It almost has a sour berry smell. The beer pours with a solid two inch thick head. The ale appears to have a blood red brownish hue as the contents are emptied from the bottle to a glass. Before the ale even reaches the lips, the tongue cringes in disbelief. The ale assaults the taste buds and then infiltrates the tongue with intense flavor. The ale contains hints of chocolate and vanilla. The thick ale leaves a notable prickling sensation on the tongue. The strong ABV warms the throat as the ale passes through the mouth and into the stomach. Beer connoisseurs should enjoy the beer. Inexperienced beer consumers are forewarned. -Regardless of beer knowledge, Old Viscosity ensures a wild and thrilling ride.

BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer A source of heated regional debate in San Diego, the matter of the best Mexican food place is as divisive as it is controversial. Everybody wants to believe they know where to find the best California Burrito, but like other touchy issues, not much room for compromise exists. Located off of Carmel Mountain Road in Rancho Bernardo, Jalapenos deserves nothing less than eternal praise as the "Mecca" of the California Burrito. Although the journey to Rancho Bernardo is long and arduous, this pilgrimage is an absolute necessity for any true California Burrito connoisseur. While most San Diegans are biologically equipped to handle Mexican food with little discomfort, the average eater, native or foreign, faces life-threatening challenges when eating at the run-of-the-mill taco shop. Fortunately for the maladapted, Jalapenos cooks their food with vegetable oil instead of lard, allowing the stomach to greet the California Burrito with peaceful adoration. The Burrito (yes, it needs to be capitalized) itself represents the pinnacle of Burrito craftsmanship. Off the menu, the Jalapeflos California Burrito includes your standard carne asada, fries, cheese, and guacamole, but I suggest holding the guacamole as it does tend to overwhelm the other vital flavors in the burrito here. From the excellent array of salsas you may want to go with the simple red hot sauce. Unlike the harsh and unforgiving hot sauce of most other taco shops, Jalapenos provides their customer with a smooth and balanced blend of flavor and spice that complements a California Burrito unlike any other salsa to date. When ready, the composed and neat exterior of the burrito deceives the eager customer, who at this point is completely unaware of the chaotic splendor within. The first bite breaches the calm exterior and unleashes torrents of incredible flavors. In a daze, the remainder of the burrito quickly disappears, the final bite as glorious as the first. In such a volatile and competitive field, the search for the best Cali Burrito is unending. The California Burrito at Jalapenos may not be the best; I just haven't found a better one yet. H ALO 3: THE ONE RING T O RULE THEM A LL BY ELBERT ESGUERRA Pride Staff Writer It has many names to it - the killer-app, the epic saga, or the best 15 seconds in video gaming. It only takes one word for people to weigh in exactly what the title means - amazing. The third and final installment of the gaming saga that is Halo for the Xbox 360 hit shelves at midnight at various retailers across the nation. Many people lined up outside Gamestops and EB Games as early as 9 o'clock to be among the first to get their copies. "Halo 3 is much more than a video game release—it's the biggest entertainment event of the year," said Peter Moore, the former vice president for Microsoft gaming and interactive division. As part of the promotion for the game, Pontiac and Microsoft teamed up to give gamers a chance to play the game in San Francisco and New York on IMAX screens earlier this month. Participants received copies of the game prior to its launch date. The story of Halo centers around Master Chief Petty Officer SPARTAN117, or Master Chief for short, and the war between the United Nations Space Command and an alien army called the Covenant. In the climax of the previous installment, Master Chief has stowed away aboard a Covenant vessel that is headed for earth, which sets up the final chapter. Halo is this generation's touchstone for pop culture in the same way that Star Wars and Lord of the Rings has for earlier generations. Earlier this past summer, a few gamers were treated to an online beta test to give a glimpse of what people will be in store for - Mongoose ATVs, new multi-player maps, and character remodels. Some of the other new additions included will be bigger, badder weapons, bubble shields, 8 new vehicles, an equipment Forge system, 4-player co-op campaigns, new levels, and a high-definition 1080p output to name a few. In 2004, the launch of Halo 2 sold over two million copies on its first 24 hours generating roughly $125 million in revenue. Pundits have expected that number to rise to over $200 million due to the three editions that were made available to consumers ranging anywhere from $59.99 to $129.99. m 1 il ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡i •Ji t t ^ •' S« 11 ¡11 A % i iiili M M ^smm m 1 i___ l __ _ - \ Image courtesy ofMicrosoft �Transformers: Pitting tla "OH SX6# YEAH" in BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer I knew things were going to go well when an adorable little usher said, "Please DO NOT ask us to turn down the sound, because we CAN NOT. This is IMAX." Well, alright then. I lost faith in the first 30 seconds, with a smarmy premise that actually includes a deep male voice saying, "But we were already too late." You expect him to say, "DOT DOT DOT," just in case the audience didn't get the suspense. But then something amazing happened. Asteroid-type objects started hurtling across the screen and the theater started shaking from the sound. Within three minutes, it blew my mind. I'll give you an overview of the movie and then we can talk significantly more about IMAX, which was the important part. The kid from Even Stevens on the Disney Channel is all grown up, gets his first car, and then finds himself embroiled in a robotic civil war from outer space which has finally spread to Earth. It involves a chase with a police car and a Camero, which I never thought I would see outside of the 1980s, and lines like, "It's you and me, Megatron." There's also a totally unrealistic hot blonde systems analyst. Every 15 year old boy in the audience was like, "HEY! She's wearing a mesh shirt!" I found myself at several points humming, "Hiiiiighway to the DANGER ZONE" since that was just about the only thing missing from the cheesy writing and crap soundtrack. But man, I would see it a second time and maybe even a third time just for the special effect^. I thought everyone was joking about the beauty of IMAX, but there were Fall TV line-up honestly moments that I felt like I was running for my life with the characters orflying in the Air Forcé. Tlfo pomt of view flying scenes were unbelievable, and the part at the beginning with the base and the.. .well, you'll know what I'm talking about when you see it. Suffice to say, the movie won't be winning any Academy Awards, but that's not the film's purpose. It can be summed up best in the words of the friend who accompanied me, "Dude, that was amazing. But if I had written it, I would have just had them credit me as 'Anonymous.'" Entertainment outside of school BYJACLYNCARBAJAL! Pride Staff Writer If you're a college student, fall is about one thing: the fall semester. Life f or the next few months takes a sideline to homework, essays, classes and reading» Between your busy schedule, it would be nice to see a few good shows here and there, right? If you're like us, getting into a new show is a commitment for an entire season, maybe even a whole series. To save you from wasting your time on a show that gets canceled midseason or you get tired of, we've taken the liberty of assigning a guide for the average student. ÜH ¡I teil v Ib»r i # # ## 9 P.M. - Heroes Mondays are never fun, but the show that makes them a bit more enjoyable is back. The second season began Monday, but one episode shouldn't set you back too far, considering the network promises a whole new adventure. The show is a modern take on the Marvel comics of yesterday and the cast is hot. 9 P.M. • Scrubs We were going to recommend The Office but I wanted to give Scrubs a shout out as well. Then I thought, why not both. The Office starts at 9 pm and Scrubs immediately follows I # 10 P.M. - Journeyman And a new one from NBC right afterwards, if you don't want to touch the remote after Heroes. A little bit mystery, little sci-fi, half a tablespoon of romance, and you have a show about a journalist who keeps getting sucked into the past and changing the things he finds there. But why?!? Hopefully, it doesn't get canceled before we find out. at 9:30 prir both shows are hilarious, consist of a relatively young cast and don't consist of a hard to follow plot line, which is always good if you can't commit to every episode, every week. Images courtesy ofNBC, ABC, CBS and Fox networks. 9 P.M. - House It's Tuesday. You're already asking if it's Friday and you find yourself more and more sarcastic. This returning hit series is just what the doctor ordered. It's dry. It's edge. It's completely different than any of the other doctor dramas on primetime. In addition, new cast members left and right should keep even followers of the show on their toes. 9 P.M. Moonlight This has the potential to be a disaster. Hot guy is a vampire and a private investigator (Angel, anyone?). We think it probably has a 50/50 chance of getting canceled, but...what if it turns out to be really good? 10 P.M.-Cane After your homework break between 9 and 10, return to the screen for a family drama with more than a few twists. The Duque family runs a rum and sugar business and fights against outsiders and each other to keep it solvent. Featuring Hector Elizondo, Rita Moreno and Jimmy Smits - the show should be incredible. Women's Murder Club We should put both these shows in those inflatable sumo suits and make them wrestle. Unlike Moonlight, this show has some tried and true TV actresses, well, solving murders. It's also based on a best selling book series. Unless the.network hires dry witless writers, we think this one could be around a while. 8 P.M. - Pushing Daisies Three days into the week. You're procrastinating. You come across a show you've never heard of, Pushing Daisies. Set to begin October 3rd, it's one of the critically acclaimed shows of the season. It's about a guy who can bring back the dead momentarily with the touch of his hand. It sounds interesting enough to give it a chance. 9 P.M. Desperate Housewives Sunday night is a saving grace to anybody who enjoys the drama f of Wisteria Lane. If you haven't ' watched an episode of Desperate Housewives yet, it isn't too late to get started. The show is full of scandal, sex, mystery and satirical humor. Girls love it and 9P.M. With Bionic Woman, another critic's darling, and Private Practice, the offshoot in what will soon become a Grey's Anatomy empire, you're going to have to pick for yourself. 10 P.M.-Dirty Sexy Money The name alone should draw you in. But in addition, it's got an awesome cast, and a bunch of rich people trying to get away with doing whatever they want and failing at it. so do guys; Trust us. We know a few who've been brave enough to give it a siftt. While this is by no means a complete list, and you may choose to follow your own crazy desire, we here at the Pride have given you a TV jumpingoff point. Now go watch, grasshopper. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The "faculty workload issue" revolves around a grievance filed by the San Marcos chapter of the faculty union, the California Faculty Association (CFA), which is pending arbitration scheduled for October 28. Although the details of the arbitration are not made public, the outcome of this hearing will set a precedent that will determine the future direction of faculty workload. CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez explains, "Faculty is contracted to work twelve (12) credit hours per semester." Gonzalez continues, "This labor contract is part of a collectivebargaining agreement, which covers the entire CSU system, and clearly states a standard of direct instruction per semester." During his address at the Students have many factors to consider when deciding on which college to attend. Many CSUSM students credit the small classes, the writing requirement, and the availability of professors as factors that ultimately add value to their education as well as to their degrees. Students have also noted that the reputation of the institution will continue to influence the value of their degrees long after they leave this campus. The window of opportunity is still wide open for CSUSM to decide its future direction. However, what many students may be unaware of are long-term debates over workload issues and contract disputes between admin- University's Convocation, President Gonzalez stated, "We are a CSU campus and we do have to follow system-wide guidelines and operate within our funding formula which is predicated on 15 units per Full Time Equivalent Student (FTES) and 12 Direct Weighted Teaching Units (WTU) for faculty." "The faculty argues that funding increases depend strictly on FTES, not on faculty teaching 12, units," according to Dr. George Diehr, local union CFA President and Professor of Management Science. "In fact," Diehr contends, "there is no mention anywhere of faculty being required to teach 12 units. That was a requirement of pre-1995 contracts." » Article Continues on Page 2 CSUSM Student Discovers M ysterious A lgae Expansion of Central Constructidn near lot "C" Photo By: Brian Fisher By: Nathan Fields Pride Staff Writer Plant Underway By: Brian Fisher Pride Staff Writer A $2.4 million dollar project to expand the Central Plant oh the south side of campus is currently underway. The plant houses two large tanks, a boiler and a cooler. Dave Dennis of John Carey Construction explains that water from the tanks is pumped into campus buildings where fans blow air over the top of the water. This acts as both a heater and an air conditioner, providing build- ings with hot or cool air. The water is then pumped back into the tanks where it is re-heated or cooled. The $1.8 million dollar expansion will extend the length of the plant north approximately 25ft. The two-story expansion will house an additional boiler and cooler ($600,000 dollars worth of equipment), enough to service future buildings such as the new library, Arts and Sciences building, and futurfe Business building. Since the year 1984, a genetically-altered micro algae, mysteriously introduced into the Mediterranean Sea, has been invading many connected ecosystems, particularly on the French and Italian Riviera. However, Kai Palenscar, a 21 year-old biology student, is the first-known discoverer of the only US growth of the algae, Cualerpa taxifolia, in Carlsbad's Agua Hedionda Lagoon. Palenscar, who frequents the lagoon to fish, found a small growth of the green plant in June 1996 while leisurely walking dur- ing low tide. Unable to identify the plant, he unearthed it and took * it home to grow in his own aquarium, photographing and dating the specimen. The invasion and rapid growth of the algae has led to a drastic impoverishment of algal and sea grass communities. A vast decline in bio- and ecodiversity has been noted as the marine pest grows over the seabed, choking off light and nutrients from other organisms. While looking through photos, Palenscar recognized the much larger patches of seaweed (one described as the size of a volleyball court) that local biologists had independently discov- ered in J\me 2000. Palenscar contacted and provided the biologists with information, which caused them to re-date the estimated length of time the seaweed has been growing in the lagoon. The marine biologists "estimated that the algae had only been growing in the lagoon for two years," said Palenscar, "but after confirming that what I found was the same species, they knew it had been growing there for at least four years." This information was undoubtedly helpful in generating more accurate figures, such as growth rate. » Continued on pg 2 Student Lounge Revamped By: Tiaca Carter Pride Staff Writer Need a place to chill?

He also added "several faculty members filed a grievance over that increase." With faculty at CSUSM meeting FTES enrollment goals and the administration not yet imposing a 12-unit course load, where is the center of contention? The contention revolves around budget disputes. If the administration has its way, faculty will have to increase their workload by as much as 33 percent. Diehr explains how "Over the past two years, the addition of 950 FTES provided about $6 million in growth money to CSUSM" (based on the university receiving $6,454 each additional PTE). Diehr also claims "Since the campus was funded to add faculty at the rate of one per twenty students, we should have added about 47 to FTE faculty. Yet, we have added less than 19 faculty. In light of faculty rising to the challenge of meeting FTES enrollment," he wonders, "why is our administration making such a big deal about workload?" Since the university publicly promotes its small class sizes, availability of professors for students, and its signature writing-across-the-curriculum program, faculty members agree that increasing enrollments without increasing faculty size will dramatically alter the hallmark features of the new university. Many students complain that these promises have already been broken. Class sizes have already grown in order to meet enrollment demands, and students have noted that the writing requirement is not consistently implemented in every course. When asked about the seeming lack of accountability for the mandated 2,500-word writing requirement in every course, President Gonzalez responded, "the administration is aware that not all courses are implementing the writing requirement but accountability does not come at the administration level; the Academic Senate Committee oversees faculty course curriculum." Dr. Gerardo Gonzalez, Academic Senate Committee Chair, responded to the same question by stating that the Academic Senate Committee is unaware of any specific cases of the writing requirement not being implemented. While CFA union leader George Diehr states that he is aware that not all courses are fully implementing the writing requirement, the writing requirement is not a contracted item and the CFA is not accountable for overseeing thi^program. Nevertheless, in the discussion of workload issues, the prior practice of the university in allotting three (3) weighted teaching units to meet the extra work involved in responding to and grading student papers under the university's writing program figures prominently. Since the CFA acknowledges that "most (tenuretrack) faculty are not teaching four, 3-unit courses," and no one is held accountable for implementation of this publicly promoted program, some students may wonder how the quality of their education will figure into the future direction of the university. CSUSM Barahona Center Unlike Any Other In World By: Victoria B. Segall Pride Editor Kai Palenscar discovered the algae in Carlsbad Lagoon. Photo By Melanie Addington Southern California. Palenscar explained that "the choseg methods of removal are important and limited because, given the reproductive nature of this single-celled organism, it would require only 1MM of the plant to break off or float away for it to begin multiplying elsewhere very quickly." The algae can even live out of water for ten days. Thus, the plant cannot safely be physically removed, and the lagoon has been quarantined and cordoned off to prevent tiny fragments of C. taxifolia from being spread by boat anchors. If the algae were to spread from the lagoon, "the whole rocky reef plant and animal assemblage off our coast would be dramatically transformed," says Bob Hoffman of the National Marine Fisheries, Service Southwest Region, Asked whether the use of such potent chemicals would further disrupt or endanger the surrounding environment, Palenscar answered confidently that it was probably the safest solution. "Most of the chlorine, which is in drinking water, will be absorbed by the organic plant matter, and In January 2000, CSUSM's Center for the Study of Books in Spanish received a $ 100,000 dollar endowment from Gaby and Richard Sulpizio, President of Qualcomm, Inc. This past summer, July 13, the Center was renamed the Barahona Center for the Study of Books in Spanish for Children and Adolescents. Gaby Sulpizio had requested the name in honor of her parents, Flora and the late Francisco Barahona. However, apart from the Sulpizio donation and the name change, many individuals may not know much about this unique center. The Barahona Center for the Study of Books in Spanish for Children and Adolescents is the only one of its kind in the world, collecting all books in the Spanish language published worldwide for children and adolescents and all English books about Latinos, since 1989.

Editors and published authors from all over the world look to the Center as a source of information and advice on literature for children and adolescents. In addition, undergraduate and graduate students, teachers, and other universities, also use the center to enrich their curriculum for Spanish-speaking students and bilingual education. Dr. Isabel Schon, Center Director, also writes critical literary reviews on the collection of books for literary publications worldwide, such as Bluebird. The Center also has an award-winning bilingual web site that gives recommendations of children and adolescent books in Spanish and English. The Center also has a Reading Partners Program that places Volunteers with children and adolescents who are in need of help with reading. The Center primarily works with the San Marcos Academy Literary Program. In addition to the San Marcos Academy, however, volunteers are placed with students from other schools. The program is designed to encourage students who are not interested in reading, to read. Continued on nextpage» CSUSM's Barahona Center has problems with space: A photo of the storage room.

By: Kathleen Hash Pride Staff Writer Here we are at California State University San Marcos, and what students are doing is anybody's guess. The student body at San Marcos State is so diverse, as you may have read in any number of the university's publications. However, diversity at CSUSM isn't about color or creed. The students, differ more in goals and aspirations, how they define themselves, what'they want out of life, and how they believe CSUSM will help them reach thdir goals. From Chemistry, to Women's Studies, to Business, everyone on campus is working towards a degree that they hope will somehow enrich them, either their minds and bodies or their annual income. However, what do you know about the people you bump into on the stairs while rushing to class? Do you even care? About 6,000 students are currently enrolled at CSUSM, and that number is expected to increase by 400 full-time students every year. In an address to A.S.I. last week, President Gonzalez projected the possibility of 18 to 20 thousand full-time students by the year 2020. Do the high standards at CSUSM, like the writing requirement and the computer literacy requirement, attract students that want to graduate from a school with a good reputation? San Marcos by default and his story is anything but uncommon. "I turned in my application late to SDSU. I figured I would go here for one semester, but I liked it. I ended up getting involved. I 'm glad I didn't go to SDSU. I might not be in school still." Nineteen-year-old Quoc Nguyen is a freshman who says he came to CSUSM because i t was close to home and he heard it had a good computer science program. "A higher standard gives the school a better reputation," said Nguyen, "if you graduate from a higher standard school, employers will know that." Bill Robertson, a twenty-five year old Liberal Arts major, disagrees, "I don't think your school sells you. They won't know if I am a good teacher just because I went to San Marcos." But Robertson did say that he choose Cal State San Marcos because it was recommended to him by people who. knew he wanted to be a teacher. What Do We Do Now? A Look At Campus Life Is there enough student life on campus? When asked what he thought about student life on campus, Bill Robertson replied, "I'm not familiar with it. I really don't know what this campus is about. I have been thinking about joining the Christian prayer group, though." Rocio Guerra is studying for a Masters in Science.

At the moment, the Center has keeps additional shelves filled with books in a room across the hall from the Center. A "Thank-You" Quilt is also on display in the storage room. The quilt is from the first class of fifth-grade students who had taken a class field trip to the Center back in 1989. Schon says that some of those fifth-grade students, many of whom are now CSUSM students, had never been to a library or a university.

The Center was founded when Dr. Isabel Schon, a member of the founding faculty, presented the idea to then CSUSM President, Bill Stacy, in July 1989. Schon says that what was needed at the time was a center to study books on Spanish and books in English about Latinos. "I thought CSUSM would be the perfect laboratory to study both cultures because the location was close to Mexico, and it was just a perfect area," says Schon. The idea of a Center was presented it to the Board of Trustees and was approved. The Barahona Center for the Study of Books in Spanish for Children and Adolescents is located in Craven 4206.

"Employers are just looking for some kind of degree," she said. Not everyone on campus feel that student life is unimportant G im Rodriguez is a twenty-year-, old junior. She is working towards a Bachelor, of Science degree in Biology and is Vice President of the Pre-Health Society, Rodriguez felt that students should be active on campus and should have a say in what they learn. "At first I didn't mind that there wasn't student life " said Rodriguez, "now that I am in a club there is more support, especially when it coordinates with what you want to do later in life." Now Rodriguez believes that student life is an important aspect in college, "If people didn't want to go to a college with campus life, they could go to The University of Phoenix," she remarked. Rodriguez also feels that a school's standard of education reflects the value of the degree in the job market. "I know we are working a lot harder for our degrees than SDSU," she said. CSUSM is changing. A Visual Arts building is currently in construction. Last semester the number of clubs on campus almost doubled, and in two weeks students will vote trn whether or not they want to increase their student fees to help pay for the Clarke Field House/Student Union. Decisions are being made everyday that affect students, whether or not they care. The University is growing, and students are slowly being given the opportunity to say how it grows.

Throughout the movie you witness some very strange relationships between many of the characters. Liv, played by Gwyneth Paltrow, is a daughter abandoned at a very young age by her father, Ricky, played by Huey Lewis. At her mother's funeral, they are once again reunited and try to recreate their relationship when they decided to compete in the karaoke contest. Probably the most entertaining character throughout the entire film is Robby, played bylan Robison. At first Robby is the typical married sales man with children, whose job requires him to stay in one hotel after another. Soon Robby begins to lose his mind and ends up in a karaoke bar. From then on, he is in a quick downward spiral doing drugs, drinking, robbing, and singing. On his journey, he picks up a hitchhiker named Reggie, played by Andre Braugher, the convict with a voice like an angel. Together they venture to the karaoke contest, trying to arrive in one piece, and, at the same timed creating a beautiful friendship. By the < time everyone gets to the contest, many characters have experienced grand adventures, but their biggest adventure of all. will occur during the contest. The on-stage duets are my favorite part of the movie. The music is great and fits all the characters personalities. I wouldn't say that this was the best movie I have ever seen, but I do think the idea behind the movie was a good one. Unfortunately, many parts of the movie dragged on. Duets is now playing in theatres, but my advice is to save your money and wait until it comes out on video. Duets is rated R. The WWF: A Love Affair Rekindled By: Tiaca Carter Pride Staff Writer This summer I ran into an old flame. It was a Thursday night around eight o'clock and I was looking for something to watch while I waited for Will and Grace to come on. As I surfed the channels I noticed an all too familiar sight: the ring, the tights, the crowd going wild. It was WWF Smackdown. As I sat in my living room watching the wrestlers I couldn't help but laugh at myself, thinking, " I used to love this s tuff'. That's right, I use to love WWF wrestling. But that was a long time ago. It was over ten years ago when I first met the wrestlers of the World Wrestling Federation. We would rendezvous at o'clock on Saturday afternoons after my breakfast with Saturday morning cartoons. Me, Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant,. Junkyard Dog, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Dusty Rhodes, and The Ultimate Warrior. I'd sit back and watch them with a gleam in my eye, adoring every punch, every kick, every choke, every slam, and every pin admirably as the wrestlers beat the crap out of each other. Then I heard the rumor: wrestling was fake. I was appalled. How could wrestling be fake? How could something that I loved so deeply, that I watched so faithfully, that was so much of my Saturday morning routine, be fake? I could not believe it. I would not believe it. But then I started asking myself questions: How come no one ever got pinned on the first try, no matter how beat down they were? How was it that there never seemed to be any serious injuries after being thrown from the top of the ring? How come Jake "The Snake's" snake never choked him? All of these questions began to swirl in my head; questions that my innocence kept me from asking myself, simply because I was blinded by the love for my wres- TheRock Photo by: Leiana Naholowaa tiers. As I got older, I began t o realize certain things. The Easter bunny was a hoax, my mom was the tooth fairy, and wrestling was, indeed, fake. So my love for the sport slowly began to fade away. Now here I was face to face with the WWF again after all those years. And I was faced with a dilemma: what should I do? Should I change the channel and act like I never saw it? No. I did what anyone would do when face to face with an old flame. I watched Smackdown. I watched it as if to say, "Look at me. I'm all grown up now. I'm not the naive little girl that use to watch you. But I have to say what really won me over was the scandal, the excitement, the anticipation of the crowd, and the bloodthirsty feeling of revenge for another wrestler by another one. I enjoyed every minute of it. It then occurred to me that it doesn't matter if wrestling is fake. What matters is that it is fun to watch. It was fun to watch when I was a kid, and it is just as fun to watch as an adult. I finished watching Smackdown with the same feelings that I had after watching wrestling on Saturday afternoons when I was a kid. I can't wait to tell all my friends what just happened! Finally, the WWF has come back to Tiaca. Dance Music Unlike Any Other Los Amigos Invisibles Arepa 3000: A Venezuelan Journey Into Outer Space By: Rosa Mey Pride Staff Writer Los Amigos Invisibles is a band comprised of six members, all who share the hometown of Caracas, Venezuela. Their upcoming album, Arepa 3000: A Venezuelan Journey Into Outer Space, carries tunes that make no effort to stay in the confines of any specific musical genre. The album is stitched together by a definite pop mentality. When I say pop, I mean that of the hi-fi lounge sort. The Los Amigos sound is reminiscent of the space-age music frontier of the early 60's led by the likes of Juan Garcia Esquivel, Perez Prado, and countless more. However, these guys do not merely stop with the pop. They manage to cross-fertilize classic disco music (yes, shooting lasers, cow bells, and all), with funk, hip-hop, lounge, house, drum and bass, and Latin rhythms to produce an innovative and unique album. When I listened to this CD, it was apparent to me that a lot of fun went into making this music. The first couple of tracks are reminiscent of theme music for some old-school, feel-good, prime-time television show like Fantasy Island or The Love Boat. The song, Cuchi Cuchi, is a funk pieces like Mami Te extrano, El infused ditty that sounds like it Baile de Sqbon, and Llegaste lampoons, if possible, pop-star Tarde. These songs adhere to Beck.

For The Truly Sick and Twisted Steve Kerrin Pride Staff Writer Question: How much f un is to be in a room with 500 or so people whose sense of humor is as deranged and perverse as it gets? Answer: A lot, if your sense of humor is deranged and perverse, too. I'm talking about Spike and Mike's Sick & Twisted Festival of Animation at the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art. For those who have never had the distinct pleasure of seeing a series of animated shorts that would cause a massive MI in anyone with a distaste for potty humor, let me assure you that this show may not be for everyone. It lives up to its name and will offend some people, but that's the point. What else can you say about a show featuring shorts with titles like Coco, the Junkie Pimp, Radioactive' Crotch Man, and a piece created entirely with Legos; Rick and Steve: The Happiest Gay Couple in All the World. "I'll never look at Legoland the same again," said festival viewer Dan Thorne. can also separate fiction from reality. Attendee Elaine Gilbert and numerous other people echoed the comment that perhaps best described the show: "That was f**king hysterical!"

Wheelchair Rebecca got a respectable reception, as did Deep Sympathy; a four-minute foray into the subject of necrophilia. But the apparent crowd favorites were the series of stick-andbubble-people animations by Don Hertzfeldt. Billy's Balloon, one of several films in the series, was inspired by the French film, The Red Balloon, according to Hertzfeldt, who was at the show. that will look good in print. Children beaten by anything is an appalling idea, but when balloons are doing the beating and it's all just animation anyway, it's funny as hell. If any of this black-and-white description of Sick & Twisted has horrified you or even planted a seed of distaste in your mind, do everyone a favor and keep your sheltered sense of humor away from this show. It is a show for only those people whose sense of humor has a refined taste for the deranged and perverse and who Scared Kids, Photo Courtesy ofIfilm.com Beginners Philosophy A New Comic Book Explains All Photo Courtesy ofDavid Ruiz Menace to Elastica By: Patrick Roach Pride Contributing Writer The Menace is Elastica's follow-up album to the smash hit debut that climbed the charts in 1995. Fans have had to wait five years for new music from this British pop-punk group. Sadly, the wait has not been worth it. The Menace fails to live up to the band's earlier work. Elastica's melodies and simple three-chord punk progressions, which you found yourself humming to for hours, are gone. The Menace album finds itself mired in techno-style beats as well as random and distracting sound effects. Justine Frischmann's vocals, which were so soft and beautifully clear on the last record, are now muddled in a blend of inane and unnecessary background vocals. As the album progresses, the songs blend into the next without a noticeable difference between the two. There is no outstanding song on the album that is memorable, but there are two noteworthy tracks. The song My Sex stands out as the only song on the album that features Justine Frischmann talking, instead of singing. In the song, she describes her ideal love with simple and elegant words. My Sex stands out due to its quiet simplicity amidst the sonic anarchy of the songs around it. It's a soft and touching song and is a good reminder of how exceptional Justine's voice can be. The other song is a remake of the band Trio's song, Da Da Da, which was made popular by a Volkswagen commercial a little while back. Elastica overhauled the song, and it makes an amusing addition at the very end of the album. However, after all is said and done, The Menace is a major disappointment to fans that have been waiting since 1995 for the new Elastica album. Elastica is obviously experimenting with their musical sound and are trying to find a musical identity for themselves. Some day they will find what it is they're looking for, but let's just hope the results will be much better than what they are putting out now. By: Jeff Brownlee Pride Staff Writer Have you ever felt sheepish about quoting philosophers you couldn't understand? Does Sartre make as much sense to you in the original French as in English? Are you unsure just exactly how Nietzsche is pronounced? If so, you may not be philosophically literate and in grave danger of committing any number of intellectual faux pas' in any number of pretentious and meaningless discussions with other students. Fortunately, your participation in philosophical discussions may no longer be limited to nodding your head arid exclaiming "how true," nor will you have to risk damaging one of your frontal lobes attempting to actually read "Being and Nothingness." The Writers and Readers Documentary Comic Books may very well be your ticket to legitimate intellectual snobbery This series attempts to bring lofty philosophical ideas down t o the level of the average pseudointellectuals such as myself. Succeeding admirably is Donald D. Palmer's Structuralism and Poststructuralism for Beginners, an installment from Writers and Readers Documentary Comic Books. Given that Structuralism and Poststructuralism represents one of the most arcane regions of philosophy, this amounts to a most stirring accomplishment. Palmer begins by giving a brief overview of Structuralist thought, explaining that, in its simplest form, Structuralism is merely an approach to analyzing language, society, art, and, more specifically, art in the form of literature and novels. Palmer goes on to describe the application of Structrualist thought to linguistic theory, literary criticism, psychology, political science, and other fields of human endeavor. The book also provides brief overviews of individual proponents of Structuralism and Post structuralism, describing the thought and works of Claude LeviStrauss, Roland Barthes, Louis Althusser, Jacques Lacan, and Jacques Derrida. Putting aside any attempt to describe or evaluate both Structuralism and Post structuralism, the most remarkable aspect of this book is Palmer's ability to make the subject understandable to the average reader. Palmer generally uses short concise sentences, accompanied by simple comic book like pictures and diagrams. The pictures serve a duel purpose. Firstly, the cartoon like appearance of the pictures creates an atmosphere of accessibility. The simple pictures are much less daunting to the average reader than paragraph after paragraph of text. Secondly, the pictures are very well done, and they elucidate the accompanying text. Palmer eschews using the obscure technical language characteristic of much philosophical writing in favor of pictorial representations, proving the . adage "A picture is worth a thousand words." The comic book format may serve a somewhat sardonic purpose as well. Presenting philosophy in this format pokes f un at the pretensions of philosophers and intellectuals, letting them know that most everyone may understand and benefit from the products of great contemplative minds. The Writers and Readers Beginners Documentary Comic Book Series and the installment Structuralism and Post structuralism for Beginners, represent a pleasant infusion of populism into the study of philosophy. �6 Tuesday, September 26, 2000 I hate cigarettes!

I am proud to support Michael Sannella for city council. CSUSM should be proud of Michael, way to go Sannella! Erik W. Caldwell Sannella is Good for CSUSM I was happy to read that there is a CSUSM graduate running for City Council. Michael Sannella is a great fit for San Marcos and will represent CSUSM well. Just imagine having a CSUSM graduate in local office. Sannella is a f ine example for the community to see CSUSM graduates leave this school not only informed and well educated, buf also fighting to make a difference for the better. With this, I know Mike will work to make The City of San Marcos even better for students and faculty. It would almost be criminal people at CSUSM not to vote for Sannella because he makes us all look better! This great guy needs our help on his campaign. I have signed up to help and I hope every CSUSM student joins his volunteer effort as well. www.sannella2000.com Shannon T. Guziel Has anybody else noticed that there aren't any students voices (who are NOT staff writers) represented in the opinion section of the Pride these days? It was rumored that President Gonzalez wanted to totally censor out student expression in the Opinion section of the Pride after last Spring's stream of letters to the Editors, which criticized CSUSM administration and the policy makers for not being student-centered. What has hap pened to our student voice in the Pride? Is no one sending in letters or ARE we being censored? Will our beloved Student newspaper represent our voice or is the rumor true and all hope for a forum for student expression lost? Now it may arguable, from the Prides perspective, that students who happen to write for the Pride write articles in the Opinion section, and therefore this represents THE Student Voice. However, the Pride staff writer's opinion does not represent the general student body's opinion on certain matters. For example, the articles published in the Pride regarding the Student Union Fee Referendum included two Pride Staff writers expression their opposing opinions on the issue. But who's to say that expressions of opinions on this issue should be limited exclusively to Pride Staff writers or CSUSM administrative staff? Did the Pride receive any responses from the general student body on ANY of the issue published in the Opinion section of the Pride over the last 5 weeks and if so what happened to them? Because, as we mentioned, we've observed that in the last 5 issues of the Pride, to date, there hasn't been average student voice being represented. It seems that what it comes down to is that there is no student opinion; the students have no opinion (published that is) therefore there is NO student opinion. Will this trend continue? If it does can we expect this expression to be totally discarded or ruthlessly censored? Sincerely, Samantha Beltram Opinion the pocket. I think we should be more tolerant with our cigarette-addicted friends, however. Whether they accept it or not, they have a problem. However, there are no comprehensive programs in place to help cure cigarette addiction. Cigarette smoking is no longer socially stylish as it did during the times of Rick (Bogart) in Casablanca. On the other hand many drug user and alcoholic celebrities go spend a couple of weeks in the The Pride trendy rehab centers like Betty Ford's and come out like heroes. What I'm saying is that it's tough to be a smoker. So what can be done to ensure that second hand smoke doesn't affect us non-smokers? Presently smokers go outside and smoke in stairwells and outside the immediate area of the buildings. At first they put their butts out on the floor. Then ashtrays were provided, a capital idea. Didn't bother me cause I don't go there. So I'd like to suggest that, like many other establishments, we provide designated areas where smokers can do their thing without bothering anyone else. Even Sharp Hospital, a medical facility, has such places. Because, ladies and gentlemen, just as sure as death and taxes, there will be people who will smoke in this campus for the foreseeable future. Why can't we get along?

The mobile outhouse at the far end of the track represents CSUSM's lone athletic facility. In only three years since it began competing in sports* CSUSM can boast of nationally ranked cross-country teams, golf teams, and All-Americans in track and field. Yet, while student athletes are told that CSUSM athletics is moving into the penthouse, they are still being shown the outhouse. So how has the school been able to build a competitive sports program without a building to house it? "The coaches are up front with recruits about the lack of facilities here," said Debbie Dale, Athletic Coordinator, "we have to be completely honest with them if we're going to be successful." Other than using restrooms in the one of the campus buildings, the port-a-potty is the only place where athletes can change for practice. Some athletes actually use their cars or Dale's office in Craven Hall as locker rooms. The golf team has a closet where equipment can be stored. Dale, along with assistant Rachel Pena, help 71 student athletes balance the commitments of study with Editorial Reply T o S amantha B eltram's L etter to the Editor While The Pride acknowledges .student Samantha Beltram's concern, we would like to point out that at no time has President Gonzalez or anyone censored The Pride. However, the campus community, especially all students, is encouraged to utilize our opinion page as an open forum to voice its concerns. We agree with Beltram's concern that there have been few student contributions to the opinion section this semester, with the exception of students of The Pride staff, and we encourage all students to write letters to the editor. It is important for students to not only speak their voice, but to take pride in signing their names to their thoughts. Therefore, The Pride does not print anonymous letters. To answer Beltram's question of whether the trend of no student voice can continue, only the students have the answer.

Where else can a person get a free T-shirt while signing up for a credit card, which allows the person to buy an oversized novelty poster, and cap off the purchase with smelly incense* and lucky bamboo? Overlooked, though, are the merchants themselves. Last week, three booths were open for business. Among the vendors selling goods was Gina Stehly. For $50 a day, Gina earned the privilege of selling MGIWORLD. COM plans with a cell phone purchase. I was curious why anyone would The Pride Co*Editor C o ^ m \ t||Sl Opinion Editor , Graduate Intern Faculty Advisor idea that a long-awaited student union would also be part of the building. Rather than just having a gym, t he school hopes to provide its students with a complex that will become the center of school activities. The building will also attract additional money from private firms for the "naming rights" of different facilities within the field house. According to Dale, there has been interest in adding other sports to CSUSM, including volleyball and soccer. However if men's and women's sports are going to progress from the intramural level to the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics), more funding is nee* essary. In the meantime, the CSUSM Athletic Department will continue its attempt to make itself selfsupporting by sponsoring events such as The Cougar Chase on October 1st. Last year's inaugural 5 k walk-run event attracted over 500 participants and Dale hopes that this year there will be as many as 1000 participants. The athletic department will also sponsor a golf tournament on October 27th called Fore Education. Both events will benefit CSUSM athletics, but the income that they generate will only be enough to defray current costs. Melame Addington Victoria B. Segalt Darcy Walker Jayiie f ktoan : Madeleiae F.

Gina sat smiling at each passing customer. I asked if she minded other people selling things, but her response was surprising. "No, I don't mind other people because it draws others to m e" she said. Gina also said she had done well in her sales on the CSUSM campus. "I plan to go to UC Santa Barbara next week. I hope to do well," said Gina. I sensed that Gina loved her job.

The products he sold were mostly silver rings, earrings, and crosses. I asked him if he traveled to many different schools and he answered, "no, mainly I do street fairs and craft shows." "Do you do flea markets?" I asked, but in turn he simply replied, "I never do flea markets." As we waited for someone to say something, he randomly said, " I frequently ask not to be seated next to a booth with incenses and candles." This man's booth was directly across from the lucky bamboo* African mask> and incense booth. Slowly the courtyard began to buzz again with life as many of the students' classes should be submitted via electronic mail to The Pride electronic mail account, rather than the individual editors., it is the policy of The Pride not to print had ended. Feeling emboldened, I asked if he liked what he was doing. "No, I have a Masters Degree in Clinical Counseling " he replied. I again asked for his name. But again he refused only saying, "I have my reasons for remaining anonymous." The courtyard emptied and only a few shoppers remained to survey the goods. Gina still smiled brightly, thinking that her grin would gain her one more sale. The mysterious man leaned back in his chair with a smug expression. Before I left the ring man's booth, I asked what he would rather be doing. "Playing the horses. I just d o this for easy money," replied the ring man. With that, I thanked him and walked away.

The Web Scheduler allows CSUSM students to schedule advising appointments according to their declared major or their major of interest. The Web Scheduler suggests that students with an undeclared major status or students with no specific major of interest visit the Career Center, located in Craven Hall Room 4201. The older version of the Web Scheduler closed after midnight on Thursdays and reopened at 10 AM on Mondays. If no appointments were available then students had to continue logging onto the Web Scheduler daily to check for available appointments from Monday after 10 AM to Thursday before midnight. If students were not able to successfully make an advising appointment then they would have to wait until the following Monday at 10 AM to start the whole process all over again. For the Fall Semester however, the Web Scheduler no longer closes. Students can log onto the Web Scheduler to make an appointment whenever they want. Students can also make an advising appointment in advance of 7-12 days. Advising appointments provide opportunities for students to meet with advisors for assistance in graduating.

A contractor working in the Academic Hall accidentally struck and disabled a hidden electrical feeder for the lights on the third and fourth floor of the building. Fortunately, the contractor was not injured in the accident. Shortly after the accident, the Facilities Services department notified the Communications Office who sent out a mass email to notify students of the situation. Yellow signs were posted on the doors of the ACD building warning students of electrical repairs being performed through out the day on the first,, third, and fourth floors, with the corresponding classroom relocations. The Academic Scheduling department was notified of the accident on Friday morning and made adjustments to classes in affected areas. Two classes, Communications 360 and Kinesiology 202, which are scheduled in classrooms on the fourth andfirstfloorsrespectively, were relocated to Markstein Hall for the day. The repaif work went fairly smoothly and was completed by Facility Services during the day on Friday. Fortunately this prevents the need for further class relocations, and all classes are scheduled to be held in their regular rooms on Monday.

The public-works bonds which are being run along with Bond ID for transportation, housing, and flood control, (titled Bonds IB, 1C, and IE respectively) may make the passage of each individual bond more difficult. The proposed package is considerably larger than previous bond packages, the previous largest state bond proposal being the $15 billion dollar deficit reduction bond in 2004. That bond, which was named at the time Proposition 57, was a one time Economic Recovery Bond to pay off the state's accumulated General Fund deficit. Seen by voters as necessary to avoid a state fiscal crisis, Proposition 57 passed by an overwhelming margin of 63% to 36%. The bond package IB-IE however does not carry the same level of necessity in the minds of some voters as Proposition 57 did. This difference in perception along with the hefty price tag may lead to the bonds' eventual defeat. Last month a poll by the non partisan Public Policy Institute of California stated that 59 percent of California voters considered the $43 billion in debt that would be accumulated by the bond package's passing would be "too much". To help shore up support for the it, Governor Schwarzenegger along with the four top legislative leaders—including Democrats state Senate President Pro Tempore Don Perata and Speaker Fabian Nunez—are scheduled for several news conferences on October 3 and 4 to promote the bond package.

Illustration by David Gatley/ The Pride BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Sports Writer I don't view sports as a f an/ T don't get too high or too low when, my team wins or loses, which is why I can work in the sports industry and still maintain my sanity. Last time I lived and died with my team I was in little league. At least that was the case until September 18, when the Padres and Dodgers played one of the most remarkable games I have ever seen. On that day the Padres gave up back to back to back to back jacks in the ninth inning and a game winning homer in the tenth inning to lose to the Dodgers 11-10. Being a Padres fan, you would think I would hang around more Padres fans than Dodgers fans, but that is not the case. Some of my closest friends roll with the blue crew, so as this division chase winds down between the two teams, friendships are being tested. The following are the conversations I had with several people on the evening of September 18 through the morning of September 19. At 9:54PM the Padres todk a lead of 6-4 in the eighth inning so I text messaged my friend Paul, a dodgers fan, "Oh yaaaaa". He simply responds with a couple of expletives. At 10:12PM the Dodgers grabbed one of those runs back and Paul replies to me, "I don't think I can handle much more of this game/' 10:25PM rolls around and the Padres score their first of three runs in the ninth inning. Paul responds with, "Okay... that's it...we aint getting 2 off Trevor... 1 and a halfback." I respond with quite possibly the most clairvoyant prediction of my life, "I dunno man. This game is sketchy. 3 runs I am still not confident with." 10:30PM comes and the Padres finish the inning with a 9-5 lead and Paul says, "How about now?!" Making that transition from journalist to fan I say, "Haha. I am satisfied now." He responds with a "Good! We just had to keep giving you runs until you were." The clock reaches 10:34PM and I am feeling stoked about being a game and a half ahead. Then Jeff Kent homers and Paul responds sarcastically with, "Yay...3 more," 10:35PM comes and J.D. Drew jacks one so Paul responds with an "Oh s**t." Before I know it I am being bombarded with phone calls. Paul callsfirstand myfirstwords were, "Told you I was uneasy." Those of you who live in Temecula, where Paul was viewing the game, know that area gets the .Dodgers telecast, where as San Diegans get the Padres on channel 4 San Diego. What most don't know is that the Dodgers telecast is on 6 second delay compared to the Padres telecast. 10:38PM and Trevor Hoffman is finally called into the game and the first pitch is sent over the fence. As this happens I am seeing it before Paul does and I simply respond with a few expletives of my own this time. Frantically he is confused for those first 6 seconds until he sees my hopes go over the fence. One pitch later I let out some more expletives and Paul responds with a, "you're kidding me, right?" The Padres got out of the inning and I got a call from my Uncle Rene, a Padres fan who lives in Los Angeles. He is watching the game at a sports bar with a bunch of Dodgers fans and among others, Eric Davis, a former Dodger. I make him look like a genius with the whole 6 second delay as he wins several bar bets on what's going to happen next in the game. That would be the highlight of the night for either of us. The game goes into the tenth inning and the Padres grab a 109 lead, so once again I am feeling confident. I finally settle down and decide to join my grandfather for the bottom of the tenth inning. As I sit down, Nomar Garciaparra jacks a 2 run homer over the left field fence to win the game. Then the phone calls start ringing in again, but that isn't the half of it. As Ifinallyget to sleep that night, I figure I won't have to relive that nightmare. That is until I get to my second class on September 19. My friend Karin, a Dodgers fan, gives me a look as I sit down, and I know exactly what she's thinking so I simply say, "Don't say a word." To this day I am still being mocked for that game. So, if you're a Dodgers fan, just don't say a word until the playoffs. As you can see I am still not over it.

A xo^ter with plenty of experience and a few strong he^cditfers should make the 2006-2007 season ian exciting one for the men's gplf team. Last year, the squad placed well in many tournaments, including second place finishes at the Bill Cullum Invite^ Pala Mesa Invitational, and Cal State San Marcos Invitational. This success came despite not having a single senior on the roster. Now, eight golfers return: from last year's team, each with another year of experience under their belts. Scott' Conway and Matt Determari should lead the team. Conway, who was named to the All-Region Team following last season, posted the fourth best overall score in the entire field at the Region II National Championship?. He has also been putting up great scores in off-season August 21 2006. It was ai^ overwhelming end to last season — the squ&d not only won the NAIA Region II Championship, but went on to place fourth at Nationals; the team's highest finish in the seven years ¡since its inception. With the bar set high, the coming year will be more intense than ever* Fall and spring will prove to be a busy time for the Lady Cougars, as the tournament schedule is more full than usual. Five tentative tournaments are scheduled for the fall, and the sprmgrseason is highlighted by the annual Cougar Invitational. During this event, the top NAIA schools travel to San Marcos to compete. Though the competition will befierpethroughout the fall and spring seasons,ft'willserve to prepare the team to be in National Championship contention once again. Within the team itself, competition will be ratcheted up as well. The combination of four talented newcomers with the fact that last year's team featured just one senior means this squad will be full of competition, experience, and excitement. With the great finish to last season, the ladies on this team know what they iyre capable of achieving and 'anticipate stretching their skills and abilities to tournament^. Deternian, a junior, has also: posted great scores in tournaments following the season. These tournaments help the golfers prepare for the fall season, and both Conway and Determan appear poised to have great years for CSUSM. To complement that experience, four new golfers are in school and will compete • for spots oh tournament rosters. Talented freshmen < Ryan Brotman, Kyle Kelch, and Arek Legarra will be on the -competition roster beginning this fall, and junior Markus Wended a transfer student from Sweden, will bring excitement to the squad. ' Betweep the talent that the team brings back froiri last year and the incoming players,, San Marcos has a great season to look forward to. Men's Soccer back on winning track; defeating Biola 1-0 September 22 2006. Coming off i ts first loss since its opening match, the Cal State San Marcos men's isoccer teanf(8-2) quickly righted the ship on Friday, defeating a previously unbeaten Biola squad (41) by a score of 1-0 in what was a tremendous soccer game. Scormg"oppSftunities were few and far between in the tightly contested match. Luckily for CS&S&I, Curtis Marcikic got the Cougars on the board early. Just under 6 minutes into the match, Chris Wyatt controlled a ball in Biola territory. From a sharp angle, he struck a cross to the opposite side of the net, finding Marcikic all alone at the far post. Though the cross handcuffed him, Marcikic managed to redirect the ball into the net with his hip, giving CSUSM an unlikely 1-0 lead That would be all the Cougars' defense wouldneed. After Marcikic's goal, CSUSM managed only one more shot on goal for the duration of the match, but was able to fend off all of Biola's attacks. Cougar keeper Trent Painter was his usual self, barking out instructions to his defenders, making good decisions, and stopping both shots on goal he faced. In the waning minutes of the match, Biola mounted a ferocious charge, nearly equalizing the game multiple times with some hard shots and free kicks that just missed. But despite all this, CSUSM never lost its composure, weathering the storm until the final whistle blew. For the Cougars, Friday's win should be a major confidence builder. The squad was coming off a tough loss, playing on t he^acf and involved in one of its first night games in cold and windy conditions, yet still managed to best a very good Biola* team that entered the game 4-0. Following the game, assistant coach Bobby Renneisen had nothing but praise for both teams; "This was the best team we've faced all year" says Renneisen. "It was just a great college soccer game. It could have gone either way." Renneisen added that Biola has 4 or 5 players with "special" talent. All of this makes the Cougars' performance on Friday even more impressive, and bodes very well for the team's outlook for the rest of the season. After a well-deserved week off, the Cougar men will be in action again when they host a very tough La Sierra squad on Sunday, October 1st. Kickoff is at 3:00 PM, and all CSUSM supporters are welcome to head down to Mangrum Field to cheer on your Cougars! Another close loss for Women's Soccer September 19 2006. Though the Cougar women (1-6) played a tough, close game, the team once again failed to notch a victory, losing 1-0 to the visiting Vanguard University Lions (5-0-1) on Tuesday. Both squads had scoring chances, and CSUSM never allowed Vanguard to establish total control of play. Still, Vanguard held the upper hand for most of the match, out-shooting the Cougars 12-6 with a 9-3 advantage in shots-on-goal. Vanguard tallied the only score of the match in the 20th minute. The Lions' Heather Hutton made a run through CSUSM's defense, finding some space deep in the Cougars' territory. She spotted teammate Rachel Housepian across the box, sliding her a pass that neither the Cougar keeper or defense could get to. Housepian struck the ball into the back of the net, giving the Lions a lead they would never relinquish. Most of the Cougars' opportunities came early on, with forward Clarissa Hidalgo leading the charge. Hidalgo recorded all three of CSUSM's shots on goal for the day, but opposing keeper Marissa Swift let none past. Tessa Smith and Kelly Wherry created chances from the midfield, and defender Lucia Asbury kept the Vanguard offense in check for most of the match. While the Lady Cougars have been playing better as of late, they're still searching for a way to earn a second victory in their inaugural season. They'll try again on October 1st in a game against La Sierra University. The match will kickoff at 1:00 PM on Mangrum Track & Soccer Field, so come on down to cheer on your Cougars! another level.. This year, the team Will feature six active returning players. The squad will be led by senior Jenneil French, and she should shine in her last year as a Cougar. French's drive and determination will help her develop into a player capable of competing at the professional level. Right behind French is junior Çarly Ludwig. Ludwig led the team at the National Championships, finishing in the top 20, which Coach Segura says is just a preview of what this young lady can do. Ludwig, along with French, should lead the Cougars to achieving their goals for the upcoming season. Along with those experienced golfers, new additions to the team include freshmen Irene Atkins (Laguna Niguel, CA), Marissa Reino (Huntington Beach, CA), Adriana Borman (West Covina, CA), and Katiiryn Hansen (Moorpark, CA). They will compete for spots on tournament rosters, and help push their teammates to stay on top of their games. Though last season was a great year for the lady cougars, it is believed that this year's roster is even strppger, and thatthe % team can once again put itself in National Championship contention. �Al &X Ej i ( 1 Tuesday, September 26, 2006 _ ____ THE PRIDE Beck's Oktoberfest BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer Bavaria in 1810 to commemorate the marriage of King Ludwig I and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen.

MMA: Gracie Jui Jitsu BY FRANCISCO MACIAS Pride Sports Writer Enter 3 Freshman. Exit an Officer. For more info cali Major Rogers, 619-594-1236, en^t crog8rs@maiLsdsu.edu or visit http://armyrotc.sdsu.edu ; S an M arcos Market Place 595 Grand Avenue San Marcos, C A 9 2069 DAPHNE'S Fresh, Greek & Delicious^ ,. A young Brazilian man once brought an idea to the American media: a dream of making his family's unique style of martial arts the number one style to beat. Unless your last name was Gracie, nobody at that time had ever heard of Brazilian Jui Jitsu, which would later be known as Gracie Jui Jitsu. This was a style .of martial arts where being on your back meant you were in control. The Gracie family felt they could revolutionize the martial arts world. Thfc Gracie's put out a challenge to anyone who would listen, especially those of the Martial Arts world. November 12, 1993, Rorion Gracie introduced the world to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) It was a venue where the Gracie family could showcase their own style of Martial Arts; a no holds barred, 'vale tudo' (anything goes), no rules style of fighting. Unlike the traditional ring boxers and wrestlers use, the UFC uses an Octagon, an eight sided ring linked together by a fence and poles. The main objectives were simple, make your opponent submit or "tap out", knock him out or get knocked out. Two men would enter and only one would leave and go on to the next round. At that time, fighters^ were not well rounded. They only knew one or maybe two styles of martial arts. The first three shows of the UFC fights were dominated by one Gracie. He was Photo courtesy of ufc.com the chosen one, the one who would represent the Gracie family; Royce Gracie. Everyone and anyone who thought they could fight or thought that their style of martial arts was the best were proven wrong that night Royce stepped into the Octagon. For the first 4 years he was the "UFC". Nobody was able to beat "Gracie Jui Jitsu" let alone handle the submissions. After the phenomenon of Gracie Jui-Jitsu took over, everyone jumped on the Jui- Jitsu band wagon. The UFC of today is different then in the Gracie days. Today's fighters have mastered Jui Jitsu and have moved on, adding Muay Thai Kickboxing and Boxing to their arsenal. Introducing Mixed Martial Arts, which in laymen's terms means any style of martial arts that one trains in. Today you can find an increasing number of MMA training facilities gearing up to accommodate all those eager for the challenge of Mixed Martial Arts. l WHBH EZr (760) 744-3732 Carlsbad (760) 929-0875 .»SÄ i tmiifiiii in mffflHEdap &\1 DAPHNES» Monday ¡Vite Macinerò Tubù.

Parked in the VIP parking section, at 1 p.m. there were not very many cars or people. The wind was knocking people and tents over, but didn't stop the heat. Unfortunately by 3 p.m. there were already people who were not going to see the concert because the melting heat had already gotten the best of them. A word of advice: to fend off dehydration, always bring a bunch of water to hot concerts. To my surprise, the parking lotfilledup within the hour and even more so as the show went on. After enjoying the pre-concert tailgate with other fans and blasting music in the parking lot, we made our way to the gates of the Hyundai Pavilion. Atreyu was the first on stage. We were only able to catch the closing act of their show since the lines to get into the concert were filled with intoxicated people who just slowed the rest of us down. Lines for food, shirts and other merch were extremely long; but none matched up to line of the ATM machine. At every break between bands the machine would have over fifty people waiting. After Atreyu, Buckcherry took the stage. Their lead singer, with his head full of firecolored hair, conversed with the crowd as he sang, though at times he seemed to talk a little too much during his songs. Since it was still in early in the afternoon, there were no lights for his set, just videos of him singing along on the huge screens placed above and to the sides of the stage. Up next was Rise Against. They really got the crowd involved, egging them on and telling stories, graciously thanking California for supporting the Chicago-based band. Their music was clear and executed well. The band moved about the stage in a nonchaotic manner and seemed to be relaxed. 30 Seconds to Mars marched onto the stage with red and white flags, numerous fans, and covered faces. The show they put on was not very complex and focused almost completely on the lead singer, Jared Leto. Leto talked a lot about how he was once like us, the crowd, and would sneak up to the front. Instead of just playing his music, Leto encouraged people to get as close as they could and just not get caught. During t h e _ first song, you couldn't even hear him sing. Then Leto that hung from the light racks just to tell the audience what a great view it was; they only yelled for him to jump off He didn't. Papa Roach stole thè stage. Jumping with enthusiasm, literally, he got the crowd to get out of their seats, sing along and rock óut. They sang songs from their newly-released album that came out last week and went through different songs only to end with three classic songs from their first album. They had a great attitude and understood how to make the crowd happy. Avenged Sevenfold was the next band up and had a little trouble. The singer blew out his vocal chords while making their new album that should be released soon, so while he was singing at the concert it was hard to hear him. They played the music louder than he could sing so the difference in his damaged voice could not be heard. Even so, it was still a good show. However, the almostnaked dancing girls around them were more repulsive than attractive. They looked more like they were having spasms than dancing, and it really took away from the show. After a long pause, Muse stole the stage and blew away the competition. People around me gasped, as they had never, heard of Muse before and were in awe of their talents. Lights blazed and the band played like no other. There was no useless talking like other bands had done, they just played one song into another. Their musical style is very unique and amazing in concert. The singer not only sings but also plays the guitar and the piano many times in one song. The band only has three members. They were amazing and put on a show that had people in the crowd, including my husband who had never heard them before, saying they will go see this band again. Alice In Chains and Guns 'N Roses put on a very good show. I was amazed at how much the new singer for Alice In Chains sounded like the old one. As for Guns N Roses, although it was just as good, I wish I would have been able to see the original band. It just wasn't the same as it would have been to hear the GNR we all remember.

Lucky for us, the mojito has found its way out of Cuba and into our hearts as the new "it" drink. With its magical mixture of rum, lime, mint, and sugar, the mojito (which means "little spell") has entranced the American cocktail-drinking public with its simple, refreshing flavor.

Sound like fun? You bet it is! The thrilling cardiac-arrest inducing roller coaster ride that is "Crank" comes highly recommended by this reviewer. Not having been to a movie in a few months and having heard my father rant and rave about thisfilm,as well as a plethora of my guy friends, I was fairly skeptical upon entering the miovie theater to see afilmthat critics have pigeon-holed as a "guy flick." "Is this really going to be worth the $7.50 for the ticket and the $4.25 for the Mr. Pibb I just shelled out?" I thought as I walked through the vacant theater. Having missed the credits entirely, my friend and I entered the stadium just as Jason Statham (from "The Transporter") woke up from his "Beijing Cocktail." What ensued next was 85 minutes full of mind-blowing (literally in some parts) action—we're talking all-bets-are-off-don't-trythis-even-if-you-do-only-have-onehour-to-live gnarly stuff—not to mention plenty of blood and gore and a fair share of profanity and scantily clad women. Chev Chelios (Statham), a professional hit man who is poisoned by a sleazy rival gangster, Verona (Jose Pablo Cantillo), opens up the movie with the discovery that he's been injected with a lethal Chinese toxin and only has one hour left to live. Poison blocking the adrenal receptors in his body, the only way Chelios will hope to stay alive in the movie is to constantly keep adrenaline pulsing through his veins. This being the case, he resorts to insane methods of keeping his adrenaline pumping, and I can't imagine anyone attempting the outrageous stunts that Chelios pulls off in "Crank." Ever. Period. I won't ruin the plot or any of the pants-wetting action scenes for you if you do choose to see it, but I will say "Crank" delivers your money's worth and more. Next time you find yourself reaching for a can of Redbull or Monster, put it down and head to your local theater to see "Crank" It'll cause more adrenaline than you can handle to pulse throughout your body. "Crank" will have you up for days. Image courtesy of Lionsgate Films � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Because of our new track, the university could host an event such as the Cougar Chase, a fivekilometer course to either walk or run. Mazario Romaro, a San Marcos resident, won the 5K race. His running time was 14:55. When asked about the race he said, "It was a fun course and I loved the race." He said that he could have run a longer race in San Diego, but he chose to support CSUSM. Romaro trained for the Cougar Chase by running fifty tofifty-fivemiles per week.

The campus was blighted by cloudy skies, the threat of a few raindrops, and a minuscule number of people in attendance. Joyfully decorated tents housed local community organizations, food vendors, and several stages from which music and dance were performed. Unfortunately, the aromatic smell of food, the sound of music, and the sight of skilled dancers tickled the senses of far too few. what the beauty of the Spanish language means to him, "[It is] the way it is used by its people." As the late afternoon approached, and the few people who were in attendance began to leave, the blues sounds of Jimmy and Jeannie Cheatham and the Sweet Baby Blues Band played several pieces. Finally, an early dusk fell over the almost vacant lawn as the Latin Jazz sounds of Poncho Sanchez and his Latin Jazz Band played to close what should have been a grand event for the campus and the community. ?s Finishing second with a time of 15:00, was the head coach Steve Scott.

SANDAG allocated the partial state funding for the project, CSUSM and the City of San Marcos lobbied for the additional funds to get the improvements done, Cal Trans set the scheduling, Weir Construction will build the bridges and freeway ramps, and the utility companies like Vallecitos Water District, San Diego Gas and Electric, and Cox Cable are all involved in various steps of the project.

He added, "those guys at Cal Trans are some pretty sharp cats." road approaching the 78 funneled into one lane. Marie Stewart, Program Director for he ASI CSUSM Early Learning Center, had a front row seat for the inaction. "Pretty much the first day of classes we went out and—boom--saw one lane." Members of the CSUSM community who utilize the center's child care facilities were forced to avoid the traffic by parking at the neighboring Power Surge Cafe and then walking their children the remaining yards to the center along the sidewalk adjacent to the traffic. Commuters who use Twin Oaks Valley Road as their vital link to the freeway system felt the first three weeks of September creep along at a snail's pace when the section of Fortunately that has all changed, albeit temporarily. The barriers have recently rescinded and the turn lane for east-bound 78 has been re-opened. Earlier, when the lane closure caused the traffic to be at its. worst, Russell Decker, CSUSM's Director of Planning, _ Design and Construction, voiced the complaints of the university to the officials at the City of San Marcos. Decker refused to take credit for re-opening the road, saying simply, "I just added our names to the list of complaints already fielded by Cal Trans and the City of San Marcos." Decker emphasized that the University and the City of San Marcos "have a fantastic relationship; couldn't be better," adding that he and Alan Schuler, the city's Chief Engineer, hold two or three informal meetings a month just to keep each other informed of the rapid growth of the university and its host city. f PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride �Dear Editors: Thank you for printing Ramon Nava s letter. It is very important to have this discussion about the Tukwut. Our campus needs to seriously question whether or not it is performing an act of cultural insensitivity. ? If there is no guilt on the part of our university, fine. Then only an explanation is owed to the students about why we were kept in the dark about the mascot's previous name. However, if our university is found guilty of cultural insensitivity, then we need to know who wanted the change in mascot, why they wanted it, and how they went about their agenda for change. Most importantly, we need to know why the wonderful, culturally relevant story behind the Tukwut was kept a secret from the students both before and during the election. Maybe it is the case that whoever wanted the mascot changed simply was not aware of the Tukwut's significance. Wouldn't they then be innocent? No, just guilty of something else—not' taking our student elections seriousi. y If someone puts an issue on the ballot without carefully investigating its meaning and history, then s/he is sloppy or crafty. Either way, the person is assuming that the students aren't critical enough to eventually realize what has been done. Either way, they are assuming that students will not hold them accountable. Either way, they are assuming that students will not demand an explanation. Hmmm. . .our university's elections are sounding more and more like our state elections! Remember Prop. 209? There have been stories that the Tukwut (pronounced 'tookwoot) is indeed too difficult to pronounce. I don't buy that. I don't think pronouncing Tukwut is any bit as difficult as, say, getting across that bridge on Twin Oaks Valley Road. Orfindinga parking space here. Or being able to quickly get all the resources we need from our huge library's collection. No, I don't think that Tukwut is too difficult for CSUSM students to pronounce. Anyone who believes that it is too difficult for us is greatly underestimating our abilities. Another rumor I have heard floating around is that we had to change our mascot, for marketability. After all, we have a growing sports program to consider now, and it just won't do to have Tukwut as our mascot. We must change it to something more marketable. That way we can sell more shirts and cups and then be: why does our mascot have to be an American/English word in order for it to be tough or powerful? Isn't a mountain lion just as powerful, tough and admirable if it is named in American English or Luiseno? Don't get me wrong.

Dear Editors: From the car to class to the car, CSUSM's dilemma: WHERE is the campus community? Dear Editors: This university has become known for its use of groups, such as the Senior Experience program, to educate and expand the minds and views of its students. Additionally, the university also promotes diversity and acceptance regardless of race, gender, or religion by allowing the presence of the many different clubs on campus. With the passing of the fee referendum, the InterClub Council will have a I am delighted to see that you are speaking out about the torture that occurs at CSUSM. I have been a student enough years to truly experience the meaning behind CSUS&M. I have found it very frustrating dealing with the poorly planned and managed systems, such as admissions and parking, that plague students every day. It has come to the point that I will ask different people, who work for CSUS&M, the same question to attempt to get to the truth. Usually the third time around proves to be somewhat correct. It is also a shame that the administration at Cal State San Marcos does not fully appreciate and utilize the talented staff that work for them. There are some of the brightest and innovative people working for them, who could easily improve things, and yet they are not used. I think it is time that the administration realizes that what students encounter on a daily basis is ****. Without a good interface with the student, there might as well be no University at all. Keep up the good work. Keep telling the truth. Matt Thomas Dear Editors: The administration of this school ponders this very question as you read this article. Why is it that there is no "community" feel to this campus? The same reasons why a student can sit in a class with another student for three semesters and never know their name. We are a microwave generation not willing to learn or explore inner insights if it isn't warmed and consumed within fifteen minutes. What ever happened to achieving higher education for self-betterment? We moan and complain about diversity being pushed, about the writing requirements, about the students, about the smart system, about the parking, and the not-so-predictable Dome food. Too lazy to meet someone new, but plenty of zeal to cry and whimper about how the professor was not clear. To say this lightly, we the students could care less about the school or about each other. We respond to this dilemma with a smug, "it is a commuter school." We the commuters are through with any personal growth or sharing of our lives with people. We are older and wiser, so our redneckism is too late in its diagnosis to heal. We want our degrees and our money so we can get the respect and the brand new bigger than ever "Expedition." Leave the people-loving, tree-hugging, open-minded liberals up North in the Bay area where they belong. The only thing diverse we want is our wardrobe from "Nordstroms." JJPatmon Dear Editors, My name is La Brace Eaton II and I am the manager of Cougar's Corner Convenience on the CSUSM campus. I am writing to you in regards to your distasteful cartoon that ran in the September 20th copy of your newspaper. The newspaper is referred to as the "Pride," yet showed no pride whatsoever in CSUSM by running that disrespectful comic. I am unsure what the point was of running such a cartoon in the school newspaper. The cartoon in essence may have been funny to some people, but is it really the message you want to send to students, facultypand community at CSUSM? Being funny doesn't make it right. I hope that in the future you at the Pride show a little bit more pride and respect for your school and not print such filth.

PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride "Cheering is not about wearing a skirt," stressed Coach Groom. "If you come to my practice, expect to work hard. It's going to be very, very physical." Coach Groom, a three-time Collegiate National Champion in multiple divisions, brings ten years of cheering experience. He has been a member of two of the three "power-house" schools in Collegiate Cheering: Morehead State University and University of Louisville in Kentucky. Groom has also coached high school cheer squads to National Championship titles. Groom's interest in cheering began after a shoulder injury temporarily sidelined his football career. In college he realized he wasn't big enough to play college football and found his athleticism challenged through cheering. "Some of the best guys [on the squads] comefroma football program," said Groom, emphasizing that cheering is not a girl-only sport. "Ideally we'd like to have at least 10 guys on the squad." Only three males attended the meeting. instant recall Advisor Heckman served as Cheer Squad Advisor for TRACK continued from page 1 was a IK race held for children ages twelve and under. There were approximately forty children in the race, including a ten-month-old baby who peacefully slept on his mother's chest while she walked the two laps for him.

The plaque was a thank-you for his enormous generosity and support for the CSUSM track facility, Mangrum was so touched by the sentiment that tears came to his eyes.

Words fail me, seeming contrived. Affection such as holding, kissing, or making love is only the beginning of the depths of what I know to be inside me for the object of my thoughts. The feelings, longings, desires, need, respect, admiration, devotion and want for the person I hold dear would make them, for lack of a better term, happier about themselves. To realize, for better or worse, someone cared and wished only the best, yet these declarations may be overwhelming by the sheer intensity and appear trivialized to what is in my heart. I believe we all withhold our true selvesfromone another on many levels in many ways, but would hope somewhere, somehow to make the connection - and make it in a positive, meaningful, and profound way. Give me a way, a method, the words, for I am at a loss and my beloved deserves true kinship. Sign me, "Sincerely Sincere" Dear Sincerely Poetic, I was greatly entranced by your message, as I feel akin to this experience of longing.

Not only do people find intimacy in different experiences, but also at different times, intimacy can be appreciated in different ways. This is what I like to refer to as the emotional-cognitive dance between humans. Finding that experience whereby both (or more) can be absorbed in the feeling of intimacy is quite special and not easy to discover. For instance, your loved one may not be "in the mood" for intimacy in any form. Remember, I am not talking about mere physical affection and sex here. Even words may fall on deaf ears sometimes. Hie ultimate act of intimacy is to understand the other in their place at that moment. Just knowing that the other is not open to that intimacy at that time is an act of intimacy on your part. Words are contrived, but what isn't? Words are symbolic and since our minds are representational, words can be a great means to achieving an end. Even when sex is used as a form of intimacy it is dependent upon the people to see it as such. We are frequently mistaken to assume that physical affection is the pinnacle of intimacy. For a porn star, sex is a job; for a writer, words can be just work; for a psychologist listening is a career; for a chef, cooking is a profession. It is the intention behind these behaviors which makes them intimate. Here again, you must think of the other: does the person resemble the adorer of Cyrano or Annie Sprinkle. Some people are more affected by words than others and you need to know this to know if words will be effective. Actions can also be powerfully intimate. I have had friends do little things/favors for me (from their own volition) which I found incredibly intimate, especially when the favor arrives at just the right moment. These actions can be deeply intimate. Find out these things and perhaps you can express your intimacy in that way. If the other is open and experimental enough, you may approach the situation as a regular negotiation. Approach the person saying you'd like to experience this intimacy and see if you can both devise a way to put each other "in the mood." This may likewise be contrived, but it might just work! You might be thinking that some of these "methods" seem too one-sided and self-contained. Well, unfortunately, that will be mostly true. You see, I understand your desire to commune with someone in such a way that your experiences meld into one. As if you were the same, sharing perspectives, thoughts, and emotions. Oh how I wish this could be true! Sadly, our ability to imagine beyond our capacities often leads us to feeling empty andfrustrated.If this is the connection that you wish for, I can say it will exist mostly in your imagination. Our thoughts are usually fragmented See FAIRY pg. 6 by Cindy Tagliapietra Ifyou could change anything in the cafeteria what would it be? Reviewed by: Cynthia C. Woodward • ^^ Quirky character study meets Disney magic in Touchstone Pictures' Mumford. A quirky story line, wonderful cameo performances, and surprising movie-within-a-movie camera work saves Mumford from the sugary bog of boy-meets-girl Hollywood movies. For the cynical, I've-seen-'em-all moviegoer, who still has a sneaking love for feel-good movies and happy endings, Mumford works. The movie works best when it appeals to the voyeur in all of us. Dr. Mumford (Loren Dean) is a psychologist. His patients troop in and out of his office, always more than willing to tell him the intimate details of their secret lives. As Dr. Mumford gets to know his patients, so does the viewer, From the sleazy small time lawyer (Martin Short), to the how-did-I-get-so-rich-and-famous modem mogul (David Paymer), the characters reveal themselves with both hilarious and touching results. Part of the fun is the viewer's (and Dr. Mumford's) realization that keeping and telling secrets is what being human is all about. Hie cast gives remarkable performances across the board; not one character rings untrue. Not surprisingly, Martin Short turns a stock sleazy-lawyer character into a brilliantly funny cameo. More surprising, perhaps, is the equally brilliant performance by Ted Danson, who gives new meaning to the word "jerk" (replace with any applicable synonym). Other good performances include Alfre Woodard as the understanding neighbor with secret yearnings, and Mary McDonnell as the unfulfilled wife and mother. The movie does have some shortcomings. One almost isn't a shortcoming at all. The characters are so interesting, and the performances so good, that you are left wanting more. The other problem is more serious. Mumford's charms include a distinctive story line and out-of-the-ordinary film sequences. Both give way to a conventional, Disney-style wrap up at the end. Nevertheless, I recommend Mumford. Even cynics like me enjoy a good boymeets-girl movie now and then on Date Night. Rated "R" for language and sexual situations. Lettau Dazzles in Noontime Concert June Hodges PRIDE STAFF WRITER Jazz/Brazilian singer Kevyn Lettau wowed both followers and newcomers alike with her unique range of vocal renditions during a noon concert on the Dome patio area on Tuesday, September 21,1999. Lettau was accompanied by Peter Sprague, renowned writer, teacher, and recording guitarist, Bob Magnusson on the bass, and Duncan Moore on the drums. Raised in Germany by her single mother, Lettau left home at the age of fifteen and set out to make her fortune. While supporting herself by cleaning houses, she discovered the singing voice that would someday make her one of the most recognized stylists in the jazz world. Her style comesfroman exposure to the works of Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, A1 Jarreau, Charlie Parker, Donny Hathaway, and other great recording artists. She assimilated the inventions of jazz improvisation into a vocal approach that was pure, soulful, and uniquely her own. After touring and recording with Sergio Merides for eight years, Lettau incorporated Brazilian sounds into her contemporary pop singing and set out on her solo career. While she has won critical acclaim for her records and albums in the United States and abrpad, she has almost reached superstar status in Japan and the Philippines. She says of her work, "Every record is different, because I am always growing, expanding and changing."

BROTHERHOOD ON CAMPUS Victoria B. Segall Adra Hallford PRIDE WRITER STAFF PRIDE WRITER STAFF ...Such is the advice of Mary Atkins, the CSUSM Instructional Computing Labs Coordinator. Computing is an essential of scholarship at this university, though when a paper is due in 15 minutes, the computer cannot read the disk, and the pay-forprint station won't work, it's easy to feel like life itself hangs in the balance. Being acquainted with the computing labs may offset this stress and save your grades. According to Ms. Atkins, knowing what labs are available and when labs are busy can give students a measure of computing safety. Often students visit the main computer lab in ACD 202, see that all of these computers are taken, and walk away. They do not realizing that the nearly 100 computers in ACD 202 and ACD 204 represent less than a 1/4 of the 439 machines available to students!

Someone who encouraged you when you were feeling not your best? Someone, who doesn't necessarily give you answers, but heads you down the right road to finding them? Someone who is present when you need them, if only to sit and chat, or do nothing at all? Here at CSUSM I am fortunate to have such a person in my life. Her name is Dr. Cynthia Chavez Metoyer (Pronounced MET-TOY-YAY, its French). As part of the Faculty Mentoring Program here at CSUSM, Dr. Metoyer has been a mentor to many students since coming on board in 1994. She was initially recruited by two of • •- her students her very first semester here. Because of the natural mentoring relationship that had begun between them, they requested that she become part of the formal program. Dr. Metoyer agreed and has been doing it ever since. Each semester, students who are accepted into the program are assigned a mentor. Throughout the school year the relationship may take on many different characteristics. Some proteges only seek out their mentors for academic advisement, some for counseling and support, and still others develop friendships that continue well after graduating, from CSUSM.

The program offers various events, lectures, and social gatherings for the mentors and proteges to attend. In Greek mythology, Mentor was Odysseus' trusted friend and counselor, and his son Telemachus' teacher, advisor, and surrogate father. He provided the boy with guidance, support and love. The mentoring program here at CSUSM believes that mentors are an important factor in the student's success. Designed to increase the retention of students, who may be at risk of dropping out of the university, it seeks out low income and first generation S ee MENTOR p g. 7 When you hear the words "Greek Life," what images come to mind? Do you picture scenes from "Animal House," like John Belushi in a toga, chugging a beer? Or are you completely oblivious to fraternities and couldn't care less about GreekLife on campus? Either way, you should be a little curious because members of these clubs may be your close friends, students in your classes, or future co-workers. Would you ever guess that Troy Aikman and President William McKinley were Sigma Alpha Epsilon brothers, or that Elvis and Ronald Reagan were Tau Kappa Epsilon brothers? Here on campus the presence of Greek organizations, academic and social, are steadily growing and attracting many students. American students were the creators of the first Greek-Letter Fraternities. It all began when the Declaration of Independence was introduced to America in 1776. Revolutionary ideas began to spread like wildfire across America and many college students wished to discuss revolutionary ideas. However, because of British rule, such discussions were prohibited. As a result, college students created the first fraternities in America where college students were able to discuss revolutionary ideas in secrecy. Some of the secrecy in the fraternities included secret handshakes, oaths, and Greek mottoes. Centuries have passed, and now the numbers of fraternities have spread to more than sixty fraternities over sixty colleges in the U.S. and Canada (Delta Sigma Phi National Manual). Of the 60 colleges in the U.S. and Canada, CSUSM is one of the campuses that have academic and social Greek organizations. The academic honor societies deal with students who have excelled in areas that deal with their majors. For example, PSI CHI, one of many honor societies on The men interested in joining campus, is an honor society with one of the two social fraternities an emphasis on psychology. take part in "Rush Week."

Dean has obtained two jobs through networking in the year-and-a-half that h^ has been in SAE. Companies like Pepsi, Coca-Cola, and UPS have presidents and CEOs* who were fraternity brothers. As a result, many of the present members can benefit by acquiring well paying jobs when they join fraternities. http://www.personallaserclinic.com i iyk&Mtm pwgmmtt . It i$ no secret that there are stereotypes surrounding fraternities and sororities. For example, fraternity members may be referred to as "party animals," "keggers," or have other labels. However, is that really what fraternities are about? Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) and Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) are two of the social fraternities on campus that promote brotherhood and philanthropy. It turns out that one of the primary reasons men join SAE and TKE on campus are for the friendships. Many people enter CSUSM not knowing anyone. So SAE and TKE fraternity members take the initiative to recruit incoming freshmen and other men to join their fraternities. For example, Charles Matanane, a sophomore, has been a member of SAE for two years and says, "When I came here, I didn't know much of anybody, now I've got 50 people that I know." Juan "Buddha" Ibarra, also a sophomore, has been a member of TKE for two years and recalls when the TKEs introduced themselves to him as a freshman: "TKEs seemed excited about me, really friendly, really outgoing, but they also stressed a lot of brotherhood. I saw what they did, I saw how close they were to each other, and I really liked that whole family thing."

The the CSUSM Open House show encore was .made without music helped enhance an already festive with the dancers using only their mood. Leiana Naholowaa Perhaps the premature expectations I built before seeing this film caused such deep disappointment. Lucie Aubrac turned out to be everything you would be looking for in a yuppie movie and nothing that truly captures, for me, the emotions of a time period. Based on a true story, Lucie Aubrac takes the viewer on a soap opera history lesson of World War II France. Fans of French film might remember its writer/director Claude Berri who directed such films as Germinal, Jean de Florette, and Manon des Sources (Manon of the Springs). With Berri once again is Daniel Auteuil ('Raymond'), who had played Ugolin in Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources. But how can a film based on one woman's autobiographical account go so wrong? The key lies at the beginning of the movie, before the stunt show action begins. A message flashes that the following is based on a true story but for the purpose of dramatic effect, da, da, da, certain liberties have been taken, or something like that. I call it a yuppie film because it's a little bit more than a Date Movie in that it contains noble elements that both guys and chicks would totally appreciate. The violent action scenes are fantastic. Lucie Aubrac begins with a spectacular explosion and ends with a sappy romantic happy ending—whoops, sorry to kill the ending for you, but it's as if Berri hunted down something so formulaic. There's plenty of melodrama and prison beatings to go around, to be sure, that would entice any movie fan out th^re. But jumping out of your seat and racing to, the door for sprpe fresh air as sqon as The End finally arrives has always physically Been a bad sign. Don't get me wrong. Everyone sees things differently, and so perhaps you may find Carole Bouquet's performance as 'Lucie' quite convincing. No rating system—this film opened Friday, September 24, at Landmark's Hillcrest Cinemas— which you have to admit, is at least one good sign.

Under the baton of Robert Gilson, the orchestra's Music Director, aspiring musicians from the crowd had an opportunity to conduct the ninety-piece orchestra as well as 'sit in' with the players of the different instruments. Those who participated received helpful hints from the director and proved to be good sports even though they weren't too sure about their ability to conduct. The fear and trepidation of the volunteers was felt by the mem- bers of the good-natured audience who could only imagine how scary it would be to stand on the podium infrontof 90 pairs of well-trained eyes. Dr. Merryl Goldberg originated the fun idea. The orchestra has provided orchestral training to young, gifted musicians for more than forty years. Affiliated with Palomar College and the Community Music School at SDSU, the orchestra holds rehearsals in San Diego, South Bay, and North County to provide access for all San Diego youngsters. The Orchestra has toured Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. JUNE HODGES / The Pride (ACCESS), "There's a very high dropout rate. We're trying to open their eyes to the opportunities they can have if they stay in school and do well." The program will gather approximately 100 students from local reservations and from urban environments. They will hear presentations on how to apply to college, what the college experience is like and learn skills that make the path to success in college easier.

"I'll tell them how important it is that everyone become educated so we will be able to stand up for our tribes.

This discussion then becomes entirely philosophical and I won't go there now. So, you may come to those random moments when you are "in synchrony" with the other, but that is about as amazing as it gets. We are limited, always. (Some people go into trances/rituals or use drugs to try to get beyond these limitations, however.) Don't despise your limitations because there is nothing you can really do about it. You need to try to work with those limits and find out how you can best stimulate that synchrony of thought and emotion between you and your loved one. There isn't a specific formula; it depends on the person AND the time whether intimacy will be found in actions, conversations, or kisses. Finding this will reside in understanding the person. This lucky person for whom you care so deeply must be understood as (s)he is in that moment. This will take great awareness, compassion, and openness. My sincerest hopes go to you infindingthat intimacy and enrichment that you dearly seek. .

As president of SAE, Dean also says, "We need to look good on campus, because right off the bat a lot of people have negative stereotypes about fraternities." Many fraternities have been viewed as negative institutions in the past. News coverage of Scott Krueger, the MIT freshman student who died last September because of alcohol poisoning when he rushed the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity, brought much controversy. Even though SAE and TKE say that hazing does not occur in their fraternities, breaking down stereotypes of social fraternity life is a problem. One TKE brother admits that there may be members who could work on their maturity level and that they could take on more responsibilities. However, the majority of the brothers is mature and responsible and does believe in the brotherhood and philanthropy that theirfraternitiesstand for. "If you go into any group of guys, you're going to have a few you're not going to like. But to knock down the whole fraternity because of one person just isn't right," says Mike. The fraternity members do admit that they party,' they are social organizations, but they also say there is a lot more to their fraternities than just partying, like the community work they do. TKE brother, Mike, says that his favorite TKE volunteer activity is "I'm Going To College," an event that takes place every semester with ASI. In this event fourthgraders from schools all across San Diego County have the chance to visit the University campus. Last year the kids played with the computers, sat in police cars, sang songs with TKE brothers, and engaged in many other activities. The whole goal is for these children to catch a glimpse into college life, in hopes that they will take the initiative and go to college when they are older. The TKEs also helped out with Special Olympics and the "Child Trot." SAE has also done its share of community service, like tutoring at a charter school in Oceanside, canned-food drives for the holidays, holding book bags every year for the Campus Book Store, and fundraisers for St. Claire's Battered Women's Shelter in Escondido. Some of the other volunteer services that both fraternities share include cleaning up the Early Learning Center, and tutoring at San Marcos Middle School and High filfe MENTOR continued pg. 5 college students for placement in the program. Dr. Metoyer says, "A student is going to stay because they feel they are connected here.. .a place where they not only get their degree, but if there are bumps along the way, they have a person they can turn to." My own experience has given me a sense of belonging here. I do feel connected. I encourage all students, even those who may not School. It turns out that there may be more to the fraternity brothers than the stereotypical images portrayed in movies and the media. They are not solely about partying and socializing; they are also about community service and creating a sense of brotherhood on campus. Buddha, a literature and writing major, has some advice for people who may stereotype fraternities, "Don't have preconceived notions. A lot of people are like, 'You're just a frat guy, you're just a frat guy.' No—I'm somebody's brother." fit the criteria for the Faculty Mentoring Program, to seek out a Mentor.

Dr. Albert Kern, director of biotechnology programs here at CSUSM, was able to get this program started with an internship with 11 companies. The major is needed because the market research and the leaders of the Biotech industry need well prepared graduates in lab and business. The Biotech program not only includes the internship, but also guest lecturers and mentors from the Biotech industry. Kern stated that he does not know how many students will actually Local vendors have a chance to liven things up in front of the library at the Cal State San Marcos Human Resources and Equal Opportunity Department's 8th Annual Health, Wellness and Safety Fair, on Thursday Sept. 29 froi$ 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The health fairs will have a plentiful assortment of freebies and handouts.

"Hopefully more students will find out more about it by next semester," said, Kern. The Biotech major started this fall. The courses required for this major range Yrom hard sciences to business courses such as Financial and Managerial Accounting. Kern was interested in starting up this new major here at Cal State San Marcos because of his personal experience in the Biotech industry. He worked in the industry for a little over 25 years before he came to CSUSM. Working for a large multinational and start up company, Kern was also able to hire and manage many people. All he wants now is to share what he has learned. "There is a lot more to biotechnology than just working in a laboratory," said Kern when asked what are the possible TEACHERS, TUTORS NEEDED Club 72 is currently seeking tutors in Temecula/Murrieta/Escondiclo/Ramona/ Poway/Rancho Bernardo/ San Marcos/ ( ^sbad/Enckitas & O ceansuk • Watilile fours and great pay • One~on~one tutoring • A ll subjects and grade levels careers one might get from getting this degree.

If someone earns his X)t her degree in the biotech field, they wouldn't have to travel very fartofinda great career. "Science is a creation of new knowledge, and technology is the application of it," said Kern. He hopes many more students who are interested in science will be able to take advantage of this new major.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer On Wednesday, Sept 21, cast and crew from the UPN television program, "Veronica Mars", set up shop at the Dome and dorms, as well as our University and Craven Halls. Massive cords looped around the stars and salt of the TV earth as they dashed about to get the new episode filmed on schedule. Typically, when the show needs a campus setting they end up on more established schools like UCSD, however, being more than a few weeks into its classes, CSUSM was seen as a better option. Also, according to James Epstein, an' assistant director on site, our campus had a "good look for the director." George Shockley, an assistant location manager, took extra time away from the busy set to speak with the Pride about his experience filming amid the bustle of students and staff. When asked if he'd had any difficulty arranging the shoot he assured, "actually it was quite quick. And they've (administration) been very helpful on everything we've needed." Even though our campus is both the youngest and smallest public university in San Diego County, he also stated that his approaches "pretty much a basic for everything, from houses tabuildings to everything, there's always a contact ^ that facilitates all of our needs." As for any potential problems, Shockley seemed unconcerned regarding any potential interference. Asked if he'd equate his approach to 'just shoot and hope nobody interferes', he láughed, "Well.. .1. Yes." " "Veronica Mars" is Currently in its second season with new episodes scheduled to air Wednesday evenings on UPN. Catch Eye BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer , I'm enrolled in annass media communication course this semester that requires us as students to examine media from a "critical" perspective. Sitting in the enormous lecture hall with over 70 other students, most looking primed for Laguna Beach, one classmate caught my eye. Ann Helsig sits in the very front of my class and on at least every other opportunity, she raises her hand to interject insightful comments into the lecture. Her intriguing ideas often compliment my own and I had been waiting for the opportunity to learn more about her. So, when class adjourned at 12:45,1 made a beeline for Ann, and the first "Catch Eye'. Through the conversation I learned that she is a social science major with an ethnic studies minor and is set to graduate in December. She plans to teach abroad, having been inspired by her visits to Morocco and South America. During the course of our 15 minute conversation she finished off two cigarettes of a brand I didn't recognize, while telling me of activist work she does through organizations such as Freedom Road, and Activist San Diego. Ann finished up by telling me that her life is committed to "affecting real change," at which I smiled gratefully.

Jake Peavy for example who helped organize an event on September 10 at Petco Park. The Padres were playing a day game in Los Angeles against the Dodgers, so Peavy and the Padres held a fundraiser at Petco Park where people could come watch the game while participating in the relief effort. My buddy Matt suggested I write about how sports can act as an outlet of relief for the people in New Orleans. Louisiana State University was forced to move their home football game against Arizona State University from Baton Rouge to Tempe, AZ. While the game was going on in Tempe, thousands of students went to the Baton Rouge stadium to watch the game on a big screen just to take their minds off the tragedy. LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell is one person that looks forward to game time on Saturday. He has allowed roughly 20people, including R&B legend Fats Domino, to stay in his apartment, because all of them have lost their homes. For the few hours that he is on the football field he has the chance to have a normal life again. Sometimes people lose sight that athletes are people too, because they are constantly under a microscope. However, seeing the way many athletes have responded t o help the relief efforts makes you realize that these people do have a heart. Don't forget, just because you might not have the means that some of the athletes have, doesn't mean you can't help the relief effort. Any praise, criticism, or article suggestions can be sent to Sando026@csusm.edu. Jock talk with Josh BY JOSH SANDOVAL Special to The Pride I will be honest; I had some trouble coming up with a column topic for this week. I wanted to write something on Hurricane Katrina in regards to the sports world. So, I bounced around some ideas in my head, but in the end I always came back to my opinion that sports is insignificant when compared to the tragedy in the Gulf Coast. In an attempt tofindsomething else to write about I asked different people for column ideas. After I talked to about 10 different friends and family members I looked at what they offered and every single one of them suggested something in regards to Hurricane Katrina. My Uncle Rene told me to write about the different sports teams that are being displaced and how they have to play entire seasons on the road. The New Orleans Saints have moved their headquarters to San Antonio to try and regain some normalcy to their lives. Their entire season won't be played in front of a home crowd because the Louisiana superdome is destroyed which automatically puts them at a distinct disadvantage even before kickoff. The New Orleans Hornets will also be playing an entire season on the road when the NBA season starts up. They will be calling Oklahoma City home for 35-of-41 games, with the other 6-games being played Free 3 Months ; No Set-up Fee t No Obligation MAILBOX Wrth Current CSUSM { RENTAL y Student/Facuity/Staff ID i Regular Price $ J0/Month Thereafter in Baton Rouge. The athletics at Tulane University are taking a big hit as well. The university is canceling the cross country season this fall while members of the football, basketball, and other teams are enrolling at universities like Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and Rice. My friend Chantal told me to write about all the different athletes helping to raise money. For example, the telethon that took place on Monday, September 19 during the Monday Night Football double header. The telethon included many former and current NFL superstars such as Donovan McNabb, John Elway, and Howie Long answering telephones. Local athletes who were born in the Gulf Coast have been heavily involved in the relief process.

Second-hand smoke has been correlated with deadly diseases, and smokers are now a solid minority in California. So, it should seem obvious that by removing ash trays and limiting smoking areas smokers would recognize the needs of the non-smoking majority. Right? I imagine many readers will need a moment to nod before reading on to the obvious answer. Wrong!!! People I know consider me dependable, productive, clean, healthy and studious. I have a solid career at a charitable nonprofit organization, help support my parents, exercise regularly, speak up for environmental issues, volunteer at my local television station, earn straight A's, and like many others...I smoke. I am indeed one of those people frantically puffing away between banishments to back lots and behind buildings. The typical questions, Why do you smoke? Why don't you quit? Etc. all are valid, and all have simple answers: I smoke for everything from raw nerves to relaxation to addiction. I haven't quit because I'm not ready to, I didn't feel better when I attempted to quit, end of story. Yet, back to square one, many of you believe if ashtrays were removed, and smoking banned on campus, me and others like me would be forced to change. Wrong again!!! If anything can be said of smokers on the whole, it's that we are a very loyal lot. When there's a will, there's a way, but wouldn't you rather see us in a central location depositing our leavings in plentiful, clean ashtrays, rather than puffing out second-hand smoke in bathroom stalls and dropping our butts in random little piles all over our fair campus? Wouldn't you prefer to have us out in the open, where you could easily avoid our selected airspace? Wouldn't you be more in favor of conveniently designated smoking areas as a fair solution to this controversy than an inefficient hypocritical move to sweep us under the rug? Birds fly. Babies cry. Smokers smoke, as do I. Let's keep our campus clean, pristine, honest and open, even to that which may seem unhealthy and annoying. Who knows, your habit or shortcoming could be next. ! ¡21111 < " ; 'i < " • i g f e i V Sä ' 4 ft life 1 ' i """ -1 <• ®iai«BiiiiiiiiSii SMOKE BY MELISSA BAIRD Pride Staff Writer Smoking's prevalence on campus reinforces the yiew that people are more apt to kill themselves than each other. If you are okay with (this substance), you should also be okay with leaving the front door open, walking poorly lit paths alone, and picking up hitchhikers; If the probable suicide of cigarettes doesn't scare you, it makes no sense to fear the less likely act of murder. I still remember a day at Starbucks. The woman ahead of me had ordered a nonfat latte with extra whipped cream. I predicted this woman would probably light up as soon as she stepped outside, and she did, violating the virginal morning air with her carcinogens. There is only one type of person who douses fat free liquid with fat filled cream, and it's the kind who fears obesity while they ingest such things, the kind who fears death while destroying their guts. The smoker. There are 84 steps leading to the Arts building, 42 between Kellogg and University Hall, and from there another 50 to the Academic and Science halls. It's a respiratory challenge for me to climb to class four days a week, even though I'm neither fat, asthmatic nor nicotinedependent. In addition to conserving space, these steps also function to discourage smoking, but they must wage a constant battle against the elevators, pitting sloth against exercise, life against death. Along with indoor steps bathed in air conditioning, elevators make it all too easy to travel through campus with rotting lungs. Such luxuries cater to smokers and should be reserved for those with genuine special needs. I won't go into a statistics spiel about the dangers of smoking. Most of us have been given scare tactics since the fifth grade. I will say, however, that I can't understand why people willingly harm themselves with such things. It seems pretty masochistic. If I sit down outside Starbuck's and begin slitting my wrists, I will be deemed 'self-destructive' and counselors will be called. If I sit down and begin smoking, I will be left alone, unacknowledged. Why does the former get all the attention, when the latter ends up just as damaging? At least the former heals. Smoking should therefore be equally deserving of psychiatric intervention. If death isn't turnoff enough, consider the sex appeal of a mouth that reeks of ash. Smokers will kiss smokers. Nonsmokers are more hesitant. Such tendencies result in a high level of intra-addictive marriages. The image of lovers refilling each other's oxygen tanks isn't very romantic. �•bnmhnshì • • • • • • - l i l i ^¡ ¡ ^ p M M P i ^ I M M ^ M I S H B M l H -I M i ^^B • • • ^• • • I JM É t B | ^ ^ • |i ^ W Äl-^teS^^i^ B y p w ^ ^ W SH^fôffiSSS^fo*1 ¿M—t M* 'îJÊÎÏÈÊtlMI.liÊ.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer Time is valuable, in-valuable for never being so infinite as we pretend to promise. This goes doubly for time alone, no matter what you do with it, or what it does to you. In between a little of both I've been fortunate enough t o have had friends, even f amily, that I could confide in. Yet, the type of relationship, the type of bond, the one whose absence tempts loneliness no matter how many surround you, no matter how complete your retreats, this has eluded me for the majority of my young adult life. Whether or not unusual, it certainly isn't unfair. I've never had proportions worth a second glance, and my 'character' compensations typically run the gauntlet from intimidating back to pitiful. Now couple a hyperactive (indeed outright lecherous) libido with an inflated tongue in a spiteful head and it seems silly that I bothered blaming too much time between chances, citing atrophy as I boiled away in my own juices, bitter and dry. There's no sympathy to be earned in this, only small wonder that I formed so many other malignant, judgmental explanations, yet still had enough ego left over for a sense of wasted capacity. I had all this going for me when, over the summer, I fell in love. it's usually an excuse to buy shit. I've seen no relationship, save my parents', stand the test of time, and I have no reason to believe any type of forever is ever guaranteed. 'She and I ' fell in love. And what would I have done had I not retained those punctuating moments of optimism and life-praising vulnerability? And what the Hell was I thinking, getting myself into such a thing? I'd say 'be careful what you wish for', but I don't believe in wish-granters, or external-fate for that matter. I don't buy into some magical force swooping down to turn dull, fickle livestock into living embodiments of devotion and goodness. I don't buy love as d oesn't make a damn bit of d ifference on how d eep • in it. we are.

Last week, I dropped my entire evening, drove the twenty miles, and raced through the grocer for soup and Popsicles (The good ones! Only 'Buyer's' for my baby!) at her mere suggestion of illness. She makes a servant and a real man of me whether she knows it or not and it scares me alive. I'm in love whether I deserve it or not, so I might as well like it. Sharing it, though, is another matter. How beautiful? How sweetly and intensely matched? That's something for me to know and you to dream about. By 'share' I mean how difficult it is to keep up my duties as eccentric misanthrope if I'm busy telling all of you how accidental and wonderful love is. I guess 'too late now' sums it up nicely. Forget the formulas and forget the idea that bitterness makes you any more attractive (or protected) than living in a hole. Frankly, you shouldn't even be fishing for this kind of thing. Better to prepare for it like a nuclear strike. I still don't know what we'll do with each other, we know this kind of connection is too rare to let inflate into infatuation, but finding time to have sole reign over my presence; it isn't easy when her absence confronts me before I can even get the car door open. Worrying about the have-have not of it aside, there are still some who would abstain, thinking it easier or more spiritually pure. They're the ones that deserve pity, not me, not you, no matter how lonely or loathsome we become. When it comes down to it, I'd spit this in the face of every gatekeeper from here to Nirvana's Jacuzzi: 'there is no simplicity or contentment greater than that found in the arms of human love'. I don't deserve it, so there's no reason you can't have it.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer / v If you hesitated to fling yourself into opening weekend crowds at the prospect of a new Tim-Burton-Creepy-StopMotion picture, then chances are high that you, like myself, suspected a capitulation to the Celluloid Barons f or more mall merchandise. Perhaps you were so impressed by "The Nightmare Before Christmas", whether you saw it as a result of its sleeper success, or were lucky enough to catch it at the theater...over a decade ago (now who's feeling closer to the grave) that you now fear a gigantic let-down. Rest and peace, it wasn't a letdown. Not a gigantic one, any way. Fans of stop-motion should certainly make time for the big screen experience. As digital animation rapidly becomes more life-like, and more cost-efficient, those of us who grew up with "Gumby" are becoming desperate for even a moderate stopmotion fix. Fortunately, "Corpse Bride" can boast, above all, some of the most expressive characters I've ever seen, including those counted among 'live' actors. Even when the proportions aren't believable, the 'puppets' in this feature are always life-like, My highest hope was to count another pearl into the few musicals recommended to those who avoid musicals, but alas, the music is lacking father than redeeming. The best tunes in "Corpse Bride" come from the opening and back-story numbers, both of which are passable on tlieir own, but simply sad when compared to "The Nightmare Before Christmàs", whose soundtrack still haunts me. There are impressive piano-playing moments, but the few remaining songs are merely dialog rhymed into passé melody by tone-deaf characters best left as walk-ons. The overall plot remains a few steps ahead of predictable, no farther than the genuinely clever laughs stay ahead of the corny gags. Considering how long it takes to animate a single movement, and considering how the afore mentioned sub-musical numbers seemed to stretch the narration, it seems wrong to merely call it 'too short'. Still, for all its dealings with 'love', the angles of the story's trian- Photo courtesy o f Warner Bros. gle didn't have much time to get under each others'skin. For those deprived souls who have yet to see either "The Nightmare Before Christmas" or "James and the Giant Peach" for cheap seats, but do go see this as done by much of the same one, if only to pour some blood talent, "Corpse Bride" makes on the grave of good movies, that a fine introduction, but doesn't i t may rise again to scare the flesh " quite cut it as a progression.

Dropping a pepperoni in your lap or forgetting to clean up afterwards before resting your elbows leaves a nasty smelly stain. Unlike coffee that sets in and stays stained, pizza grease can go days in the hamper and you'll still be able to remove it without a hitch. So instead ofjust tossing the shirt away, try these thrifty ideas. Apply Lestoil (cleaner degreaser) or any cheap shampoo directly to the stain, rub and let sit, and then wash in warm water.

So grab the family, and your paintbrushes, and head down to the San Marcos Alive Street Fair where you may get in touch with your inner artist. �Images courtesy of Touchstone Pictures BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer Jodie Foster, the queen of thrillers does it once again in "Flightplan." Here she plays Kyle, a j e t propulsion * engineer who has recently been widowed and is traveling with Julia, her 6-year-old daughter from Berlin to New York. Upon waking up from a nap, Jodie Foster finds her daughter missing. She immediately asks the flight crew to seat every passenger and announce that there's a missing child. When no one reports the child being seen, she demands the captain, Rich (Sean Bean) and sky marshal Carson (Peter Sarsgaard), along with the crew, to search every cabin, bin and the access point beneath and above the plane. When Julia isn't found, everybody begins to believe that Kyle is delusional. Julia's name isn't on the passenger manifest, the departure gate at Berlin has no record of her checking in and the morgue reports says she was killed along with her father/With hef options running out, she acts on impulse and uses her knowledge of the plane to conduct her own search. Don't worry there's a twist, which of course I won't reveal, but its one interesting way to move on with the plot but it seemed a little desperate. I will tell you though, that it starts with an intriguing premise on the psychological genre but ends up somewhere over the rainbow. Foster, in a role similar to "Panic Room," is always able to hold back her emotions just an inch. If she wanted to, she could follow through. She has mastered • the facial expressions. For example, she could be smiling but you still see fear or doubt in her eyes. Bean's and Sarsgaard's talents seem wasted in their small roles; I would have liked to see their characters play a bigger part in the movie. Regardless, of the plot or twist, "Flightplan" is saved by its strong performances. Kanye West's 'Late Registration' BY CARISSA GOAD Pride Staff Writer The latest member of the music world that almost everyone has something to say about, regarding the comments he made about political racial segregation in our nation. Kanye West dropped his second album last week, premiering at number one, with 860,000 albums sold. "Late Registration," takes on a whole new sound then what is being played over today's radio waves. His fresh sound incorporates all decades throughout the past 50 years. The album' was created with a live orchestra instead of music that was driven by sound beats. It includes diverse components of j azz, poetry, rap and soul. Among my favorite songs on the new album include "Roses and Diamonds," which give the album a softer more feminine vibe. Others with a more feel good and get up to shake your booty j ams like, "Gold Digger" and "Touch the Sky." Kanye also attacks political issues and ideas in such songs as "Crack Music" and "Addiction." He came up with controversial ideas but he had to rely on others to help covey and portray this notorious lyrical content. He collaborated with featured artists such as Jay Z, Brandy, Common, The Game and Paul Wall. According to Rolling Stone magazine, "Kanye West steps up his lyrical game, shows off his epic production skills, reaches higher, pushes harder and claims the whole world of music as hip-hop turf." I listen to this entire album and agreed that Kanye is not j ust trying to be another hip artist, but rather revolutionize hip hop in another direction. Producer Jon Brion really gave Kanye what he needed to let his lyrical creativity flow in another direction compared to his f irst album, "The College Drop Out."

MSSIffihr California State University San Marcos, San Marcos, California | Tuesday, September 27, 2011 | Volume XXXVIII | Issüe 2 2011 CSUSM Hearst/CSU Trustees' Award recipient Lauren Holland overcomes tragedies to receive the CSU's highest honor CSUSM grad student Lauren Holland decided to channel her grief into action. Next June, the 47-year-old single mother from Ramona will graduate with a master's degree in Sociological Practice with an emphasis in pedestrian safety research . Her master thesis will focus on the statistics behind child pedestrian fatalities and how fam- ilies grieve, cope and make sense of a senseless tragedy. Last week / Holland was honored for her dedication and 3.88 GPA with the Hearst/CSU Trustees' Award, one of the highest forms of recognition for student achievement in the CSU system. The Hearst award is given to just one student at each CSU campus annually, recognizing merit, academic achievement and community service in the face of financial and personal hardships. "It's an honor to be selected with a handful of my peers to be a Hearst Scholar," Holland said, in a press release. "The award validates my hard work and encourages me by knowing that people are behind me and supporting me in achieving my goals." Holland was in the final months of her senior year at San Diego State when she got the news about her nephew's son, Zaeh Cruz, who was struck by a truck and killed in a suburban crosswalk after getting off a school bus in Berkeley on Feb. 2 7,2009. Holland finished her Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology with cum laude honors, and threw herself into advocating for pedestrian safety through the Zachary Michael Cruz Foundation, established by Zach's parents, Frank and Jodie Cruz. She hopes that she can use her master's degree to lobby for pedestrian safety issues at the regional and national levels. "I want to be an even stronger voice advocating for pedestrian safety education, enforcement and engineering," she said, explaining that each year more than 1,000 pedestrians lose their lives in preventable accidents. "I know I can make a difference and the Hearst Award further reminds me to continue to push forward and give my very best." Holland's own life has been touched by tragedy as well. She worked a series of low-wage jobs while raising two children on her own. Then several years ago, she was working on a construction project near SDSU when an accident at the jobsite left her with a disabling back injury. Although it had been more than two decades since she'd been in a classroom, Holland knew she'd need to get an education to land a well-paying desk job, so she went back to school at San Diego State. She graduated in 2010. She's also volunteered her time with the March of Dimes, Head Start, Zonta International, the U.N. Association of San Diego and a local sobering facility, among other organizations. Holland is one of 23 CSU students to receive the Hearst Award this fall. She received a $3,000 scholarship and a Sony technology package (including a notebook computer and camera). Campus Calendar TUESDAY, SEPT. 27: -Polynesian •S.D.

Adams, age 28, has been a professional in Flatland BMX since he was 16 years old and has competed in tournaments all over the world, winj ning a Gold Medal in the ¡ 2005 X Games and also scoring Ride BMX Magazine's Number One Ride Award in 2005 and 2008. "I wanted to be a professional," Adams said. When asked about what got him into Flatland, Adams continued, "When I looked it up, it looked more artsy. It was different." Flatland is a freestyle BMX riding style performed on smooth, flat surfaces that do not include any ramps, jumps or grind rails. By some, it is called "artistic cycling" and can even be related to break dancing, according to Mick Ross of In Air on Ground Freestyle BMX. Adams grew up in Louisiana and was homeschooled. He graduated at the age of 15 and then attended Louisiana State University for one semester before he decided he wanted to focus on his BMX career instead. Red Bull sponsored Adams since 2003. He has been touring the United States these past few weeks doing demos at 50 differ- ent colleges. "It is very chill, spreading awareness about what I do. It is a cool opportunity from Red BuU," Adams said. He continued, "Students here are in a good mood. They are a little more stoked," when asked about how it was performing here at CSUSM. . The big Red Bull truck, called the Red Bull MXT, came out and opened up its speakers, blasting party music throughout Library Plaza. Students gathered as Adams showed off some of his cool moves, including his own trick, Katrina, that he named after the 2005 hurricane Katrina. Students were handed "spirit" towels to twirl around which added to the festivity of the hour. With the crowds cheering, Adams continued to entertain the students by balancing, spinning and hopping with his bike. On a break, Red Bull handed out two free T- * shirts to the first two people that showed up to the Red Bull MXT. "One of the lucky winners was Dylan Baquero who started to "shuffle" in the center of the plaza after winning his T-shirt. "I won a t-shirt! And it's cool spirit," Baquero said when asked what drove him to dance. Throughout the demo, Red Bull's Wiiings Team girls gave out free Red Bulls to the students. "This is the coolest back-toschool event we've been to," Gina Lucas said, one of the Wiiings team girls. Students also responded to the event with enthusiasm. "It was a great experience. It shows the diversity of the campus," ASI VP of Marketing, Ken LaLonde, said. If you would like to know more about Terry Adams, go to his website: www.terryadams.com. Photos by Ashley Aronson and Morgan Hall Riding athe mwaves CSUSM Surf Team ttracts any for tryouts Morgan Hall Pride Staff Writer . CSUSM surf team tiyouts occurred Sunday, Sept. 18. Calm water and bad waves added pressure to student surfers interested in joining the fall 2011 - spring 2012 team. "It is a little nerve racking because the waves aren't too good today," senior Tyler Noonan said. "You're lucky just to catch a few good waves," he added. Noonan, who surfed for his high school team and was trying out for the first time, said that he looks "forward to being able to get back into surf competitions and meet new surfers this season." This year, the Cal State San Marcos Surf Team tryouts gave each surfer three 15-minute heats to catch as many waves as he or she could with only the two highest scoring waves counting toward the overall score. "We're looking for length, turns and connecting rides and, of course, the more you do the more points you will get," team captain, Ashley Aronson said. Dave Kincannon, who was on the inaugural team back in 2001, tinue to surf and come to tryouts but had to leave CSUSM to work, again next year " said, "The way tryouts are set up Being a part of the CSUSM surf this year is a lot fairer than the team allows students to do somefirst time I tried out.

The women remarkably swept the top-five collegiate spots to win the 5K Open, while the men placed third in a stacked field in the 8K Invitational. Running against a field that featured NCAA schools like San Jose State and Cal State Los Angeles, the two-time defending NAIA National Champion and #2-ranked CSUSM women's team dominated the 5K on Saturday, Sept. 17: Suzanne Cornwell won the race outright with an outstanding time of 17:11 - the second fastest in CSUSM crosscountry history. After four unattached (noncollegiate) runners crossed the finish line, including CSUSM alums Whitney Patton and Jennifer Albright, the next collegiate finisher to cross the line was Carol Schryver. A 2010 All-American, Schryver ran 17:44 to place seventh overall and second in the collegiate competition. Two more Cougars were right behind her as Chelsey Cortez continued her strong start to the season by placing eighth at 17:47, and two-time All-American Cady Villarreal taking ninth at 17:48. One spot later, Kelly Thompson finished in eleventh place at 18:02, giving the Cougars a sweep of the top-five collegiate spots. Leading the remaining competitors for CSUSM were Heidi Swanson (14th, 18:09), Cassidy Reich (20th, 18:17), and Aubriele Rowe (28th, 18:30). On the men's side, the Cougars posted a strong third-place finish, only finishing behind Southern Utah and host schooi UC Riverside and finishing in front of NAIA competitors Cal Baptist and Master's College in the 25team field. So far this season, Danny Lyon and 2010 Ail-American Western Nelson have established themselves as the two top runners for the Cougars and that held true on Saturday, Sept. 17. Nelson placed eighth in the field of nearly 250 runners, coming within 2 seconds of breaking the school record for the 8K with a time of 24:16. Right behind him was Lyon, who took ninth with a time of 24:19. Nelson and Lyon are both All-American threats, and having two runners of that class is a major reason why Coach Steve Scott's #7-ranked men's crosscountry team is in the hunt for its first National Championship. Of course, to win a national title lililP it takes depth and CSUSM will be looking to build that throughout the 2011 season. On Sept. 17, Ismael Rodriguez placed 43rd at 25:20, Ryan Jensen took 48th at 25:22 and Armando Lara rounded out the team's top-five by placing 58th at 25:29, all finishing within 10 seconds of one another to help the team to its third place finish. Leading the remaining Cougars were Easton Tackett (72nd; 25:36) and Lenny Santana (75th; 25:37). CSUSM cross-country will be back in action in two weeks at the Pomona Pitzer Invitational.

This semester we're givng away great stuff, and only our facebook friends can win Happy Hour of the Week: Half-time at Players Sports Bar Retraction: "Tips for textbook buying" In the Sept. 13 issue of The Pride, the article, "Tips for textbook buying" incorrectly listed Interlibrary Loan (ILL) as a resource for obtaining textbooks. ILL is a service available to students for obtaining different forms of research for course related projects. "Interlibrary Loan staff search and order requested materials from a worldwide database. Material requested through ILL typically arrive at the Library within one to two weeks. You are notified via your CSUSM email account when the material arrives, books are held for pickup and articles are delivered to you electronically," Teri Roudenbush of Library Resource Services said. Also, materials from ILL are never delivered to your home but rather held at the circulation desk on the third floor of the Kellogg Library. For more information on ILL, contact Teri Roudenbush at troudenb@csusm.edu Kristin Melody Pride Staff Writer Photos by Morgan Hall Our next issue will feature ÉMM Imph nCnij^E^it^fllv! All of us CSUSM students could use at least an hour of happiness, and Players Sports Bar delivers all the way, including TVs over the urinals. I spent this week's Happy Hour at Players off Twin Oaks Valley Rd. across from campus, which is open from 10 a.m. - 2 a.m. and has Happy Hour from 2 - 7 p.m. Monday - Friday. For all you local or new students, this is a great place to meet fellow students because it is close to campus and supports a young scene. If you have any love for Padres or Red Sox, this place will sympathize with you. The Happy Hour deals included $1 off wine, beer and wells; you will also get $2 off appetizers including their delicious, picante chips and salsa. Enjoy the tasty potato wedges while watching a late season baseball game on one of their 21 large TVs. Another commendable part of Players was the beer list that included local breweries like Lost Abbey, Ballast Point and Green Flash as well as foreign and domes-tic brews. Indulge in craft beers like Lost Abbey's Red Barn Ale and Rogue's Hazelnut Brown for $2.75 each while gawking at the 100 oz. "tubes" of domestic beer at the next table. The beer happy hour prices ranged from $2.75 $9 for 16 oz. For those transplant students from the northeast, Players' beer includes Magic Hat #9V the famous craft beer of that area. If you are free on a Wednesday, head over to "Kick the Keg" to enjoy that week's domestic beer keg at $2 - $4 a pint from 2 p.m. until the keg is empty. Other enjoyment for family, 18+, and 21+ included the two pool tables and outdoor seating withfireplaces and sporty atmosphere. Players is a great place to meet new friends from CSUSM, take someone on a date or relax after a long day of classes.

On my only visit here, the inside of the restaurant was clean, the staff polite and attentive and the menu selection good. I ordered the meal that is standard fare when trying a new place, the nachos with carnitas. Although the presentation was nice, along with freshly shredded jack and cheddar cheese on top, the portion size was skimpy at best with about half the size of other taco shops yet at the same price. The worst was hidden underneath— a liquid cheese substance of the 7-11 nacho variety, and it tasted as bad as it looked. Perhaps other menu items provide a more satisfying eating experience and better value, but alas, I will likely never find out. The best Mexican food will be the focus in our next issue. 1 of 5 stars. ¡gl T he politics of royalty artseditor.pride@gmail.com Media Manager C hris G iancamilli mediamanager. pride@gmail. com Advisor P a m K ragen pkragen@nctimes. com Pride Staff Writers B rianna C ruz J essie G ambrell Rogers J affarian Kyle M.

Based on the limited school spirit and developing athletic department, one can't really expect to enjoy any sort of traditional homecoming events. Enter King and Queen elections . Yes. You get to witness the first Cal State San Marcos Homecoming King and Queen receive his and her crowns at the homecoming jsoccer game at noon on Oct. 1. On Thursday, Sept. 29, the top three candidates based on the results of an electronic ballot (currently live through today at csusm.edu/homecoming) will be announced at 12:30 p m. during CougarFest according to campus announcements. Each student is allowed one vote, so choose your top three candidates wisely. The student body nominated eight candidates for king and 11 for queen; students can read about the candidates' reasons for running in short statements posted on the ballot. The ballot interestingly makes a distinct separation between king and queen, perhaps because there are candidates of both genders running for both positions. Jennifer Meneray and Arthur Silverstein are running for king and queen, respectively. Notice that I did indeed get my order of words correct: we have a female running for king and a male running for queen. When I first discovered this nontraditional homecoming ballot, the first thought to enter my mind was something to the effect of, "Why haven't I heard of this yet?" "I could not care less," senior Amanda Puckett said. "I'm happy they have free time," Puckett continued, saying that homecoming is more of a distraction than anything. Puckett's statement bears validity with me, especially considering her choice word of "apathetic" when describing her feelings about homecoming in general. "[Meneray and Silverstein] want people to question gender identity. They want voters to question why a king is a king and a queen is a queen," Puckett said. "Homecoming Kings are often looked at as people who take charge of things, who are leaders, who challenge injustice and encourage understanding of different identities," Meneray said in her campaign statement, leading readers to believe that she is in the business of redefining who can fit that role. "I did not nominate myself for homecoming court," Meneray said in an email interview with me. The person who nominated Meneray only nominated her to run, but not for king or queen specifically. "To be honest and true to my personal identity and to support one of the communities I am part of, I knew that I had to run for king." I wondered why Meneray felt she could not be as effective of a leader if crowned as a queen. She responded, "Queen just doesn't feelrightto me, and I would hate to try and take on that label without identifying with it." The Pride asked Silverstein the same questions as Meneray, but he did not offer comment. "I work with [Silverstein], the guy running for queen," Brandon Torres said, junior and Psychology and Sociology major. "Arthur is more tongue-in-cheek about it—more on the comical side, like he's saying, 'Yeah, I'll be queen' "I think [Meneray's] reasons for running are more political," Torres continued. "On campus I am very active in a variety of organizations that support social justice," Meneray said in an interview. She is the president of the Women's Studies Student Association and is a certified Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence advocate for the Women's Resource Center in Oceanside. Meneray continued to clarify her reasons for running as Homecoming King: "Does it have to do with the politics of the labels and how exclusive the labels are? Yes, it has a lot to do with the labels and how they normally distributed." Although Meneray has not run for homecoming court at any other institution, she did attend high school prom with her samesex partner. Although she said she has not experienced any negativity from CSUSM thus far about her choice to run as king, she did feel some resistance to expressing her lifestyle in high school. "People said we made a great couple, but our yearbook editors would not publish our prom picture in my yearbook since we were both women." Students on campus responded positively to the news of Silver- stein's and Meneray's choices to run as queen and king. "I think times are changing. People are more accepting and I'm really happy about that," sophomore and Kinesiology major Joanne Cayabyab said. "I think it's great," Julio Zuniga, History and Political Science major, said. "We passed a barrier—broke down a wall." After talking with several students, I've come to conclude that while no one really cares about homecoming on this campus, people are happy that the university will allow students to express different lifestyles through the homecoming celebration. I can't say that this means our university is more accepting than other universities; from my years on this campus, I've come to determine that CSUSM is a conservative institution that is quite concerned with maintaining a certain image. But, I won't go there today. It would appear that "not caring" is one of the first steps toward progress. Acceptance seems to create a positive blindness to social change—sort of that, "Oh, I didn't notice" effect. When I asked Torres why he thought people didn't seem to react much to the news of Silverstein and Meneray, he responded quite appropriately: "Why should you?" The Pride makes ho claim to support or endorse one candidate over another.

Johnson Pride Staff Writer Investing in "Moneyball" It's almost prophetic that a film about one of the poorest franchises in Major League Baseball will likely be one of the most underappreciated sports films of all-time. It's a shame, too. Billy Beane (Brad Pitt), the general manager of the Oakland Athletics, sets out to compile a successful baseball roster with the help of Peter Brand (Jonah Mill) and an incredibly modest budget. With, the entire MLB against them, Beane and Brand set out to prove that it's possible to create a winning team with comparatively little money. Moneyball" is a baseball movie with an asterisk: it features very little field action of the game. In fact, it isn't until the last half hour of the movie until we're placed on the field with the players during a game, but with good reason. With Beane's distance he keeps between himself and the game, it makes sense that viewers wouldn't witness anyfield-actionuntil Beane puts himself near the field. Instead of your conventional baseball film, what "Moneyball" offers is a behind-the-scenes look at the mechanics of what goes into developing a baseball roster and a successful franchise. Pitt delivers a realistic portrayal of a man who missed his own major league victory and wants to give it to those deserving of it. Hill is warm as the driven assistant who somehow ended up working in baseball despite his educational background. Also, look out for Kerris Dorsey as Beane's concerned daughter, who rather impressively performs a cover of Lenka's "The Show" as a way to reach out to her dad. -Moneyball" offers a true story about the heart and determination that must go into success and the compromises needed to reach life's little victories.

With movie trailers and posters for "Killer Elite" marketing it as "based on a true story," one may think that this be Jason Statham's return to action films with substance. However, upon viewing the film, aüdience members may ask how much of this is true, with some scenes leaving you consumed in disbelief and awe. Danny (Statham) is a retired special-operations agent who returns to his old lifestyle in order to save his partner, Hunter (Robert De Niro), who is being held captive. Hunter's captor is a man who has lost three sons in war and wants justice from his sons' killers to be carried out by Danny. He must obtain the soldiers' confessions and make their deaths look like accidents. While carrying out his mission, Danny is then confronted by Spike (Clive Owen), who intends to put a stop to these killings due to his attachment and association with the targets. The actors are all very entertaining to watch. Statham, playing a layered-version of his usual self, is determined to prove that what we do does not define us. De Niro is fun as the wisecrack ing mentor, leaving us wishing for more screen-time. Owen plays a strong roadblock in Statham's path. The action sequences, while immensely exciting, are sporadic. We are often left with many (in comparison) slower sequences. These sequences, however, are necessary to the plot and en tertaining in execution. One such scene involves the developing of a mallet that matches the tiles of one target's shower, in order to make his death seem like an accident. The dialogue is cheesy with the formulaic, bad (but fun), popcorn-flick one-liners be ing spouted regularly. A notable catch phrase worthy line in volves a character shouting, "BI-N-G-(expletive)-0!" If you're looking for a cat-andmouse action/thriller with refreshing and perhaps ridiculously, complex action sequences, see "Killer Elite." As1 Hakuna m atata Reliving a c hildhood almost f orgotten Melissa Martinez Pride Staff Writer Do you remember picking up your dog and singing mcomprehensively at the top of your lungs while you held your poor pup in the air? This signature stance derives from none other than Disney's 32nd classic film, 'The Lion King," that made its (iebut into the world and our hearts in 1994. The critically acclaimed animated classic was tremendously successful in the box offices and was quite popular, winning three Golden Globes for Best Original Score for a Motion Picture, Best Original Song for a Motion Picture and Best Motion Picture in Comedy/Musical as well as two SCfoOQi* Oscars for Best Musical Score and Original Song. With the "The Lion King" in theaters this September, 90s kids as well as children everywhere were given the opportunity to relive their childhood and experience the tragic but musically genius adventure in a way no one has ever experienced before: in 3D. A friend and I went to the opening weekend and we weren't able to contain our joy as soon as "Circle of Life" started playing. We, along with many 5-year-olds and their stressed out parents, watched in awe as Mufasa and Simba came to life right before our very eyes. Though I have seen this movie countless times, the experience of watching it restored and three-dimensional was something I never thought I would be able to witness. Colors and scenes danced out right in front of me, and the elimination of the unpopular song addition titled "Morning Report" to the DVD version was delightful. Watching Mufasa's infinite wisdom, Scar's evil antics and the silliness of Timon and Pumba brought back memories of a childhood when my biggest concern was me falling asleep before Rafiki got Simba back to Pride Rock in time before the hyenas took over—a time before school, work and adult responsibilities consumed my life. Though the viewing is limited, the experience of reliving my childhood was irreplaceable.

� slogan. � Students � carried � signs � and � wore � baseball � caps � to � voice � their � opposition. � The � event � attracted � the � attention � of � many � students, � faculty � and � local �

Last � Wednesday, � September � 22, � students � and � staff � gathered � on � the � Kellogg � Library � terrace � for � a � “Thank � you � for � Recycling” � celebration. � There � were � games, �

with � recycling � and � encourage � students � to � recycle � more,” � said � Carl � Hanson � a � Green � member � who � helped � organize � the � event. � � � � State � law � requires � public � institutions � to � recycle � 50 � percent � of � their � waste. � As � of � January � 2004, � CSUSM � was � recycling � 56.2 � percent � of � campus � wasted. � CSUSM � has � the � highest � standing � for � recycling � among � CSU � campuses, � according � to � the � Green � Team. � � � The � campus � recycling � program � has � become � a � huge � success � because � students � seem � to � have � become � very � environmentally � conscious. � Students’ � willingness � to � recycle � has � helped � our � university � save � over � $100, � 000. � “The � university � doesn’t � have � to � pay � as � much � for � trash � disposal � due � to � the � increase � in � recycling, � and � subsequent � decrease � in � amount � of � trash,” � said � Hanson. � � � The � goal � of � the � Green � Team � if � for � CSUSM � to � become � a � waste � free � campus. � Students � and � faculty � can � help � the � Green � Team � reach � their � goal � by � becoming � more � aware � of � which � materials � can � be � recycled. � For � example � the � plastic � cups � from � Starbucks � are � recyclable. � For � more � information � on � what � items � can � be � recycled, � to � to � the �

� classes � to � offer � for � the � upcoming � spring � semester. � � � I � may � not � agree � 100% � with � Michael � Moore � and � would � have � no � problem � with � addressing � the � campus. �

M OGIL NAME REACTED JAMES R OCHE IVAN GARCIA MAEVE CAMPLISSON H as the era or a universally a ppealing artist passed? BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer Over the last twenty y ears, the role of the musician has changed in A merica. T his idea came to me c onsidering the death of Michael Jackson and the rerelease of the Beatles albums. These performers revolutionized their i ndustry, f rom the way music sounded, to the way it was made. What was u nique is that they appealed to everyone. I know not everyone liked or likes the Beatles or Michael Jackson, but in t heir heyday, a considerable p ortion of the world followed t hem. It is hard to deny the impact of " Beatle-mania," plus " Thriller" r emains the h ighest selling album of all time. The same goes for other a rt- ists, such as Elvis; however, t here does not seem to be someone in t his position today. T he p assing of the King of Pop h as r eminded me that t here is not a single band with the same u niversal appeal. I b elieve t his age h as p assed. C onsidering t he d iversity of music today, I doubt t here w ill b e an a rtist t hat a ppeals to t he m ajority of p eople. T his i s s omething t o look on with n ostalgia, but also we should look how f ar music h as come. What s tarted as simple expressions of self and culture h as become of an industry that has split into g enres to f it every t aste. The I nternet has made it even easier to f ind new music to suit o ne's t aste. The diversity of music h as changed, which can be seen by b reaking down g enres. For example, what was once j ust rock is now s oft r ock, h eavy r ock, m etal, i ndustrial, p op r ock, blues r ock, c ountry r ock, and so on. With so many o ptions now, each a ppealing t o d ifferent m arkets, everyone can find or m ake music t o suit their t astes. Yet, we cannot forget a t ime when some a rtists took t he world by s torm and revolutionized music. I doubt it can b e done a gain, but I will leave t hat t o t he music makers.

PhotosJbry Name Redacted N ative plant presentation packs auditorium BY BLAINE HMOGIL Pride Staff Writer It was standing room only in A rts 111 on the evening of Sept. 16, 2009 as several hundred p eople t urned out to listen to a p resentation on the u ses of indigenous and endemic plant species. This p resentation was j ust another class session for t hose in P rofessor S mall's VPA 311 c ourse, A rts World C ultures. But many of t hose f illing t he room t his evening were i nterested in broadening t heir u nderstanding of the n ative peoples with whom we share t his land today. Those a ttending sought to c onnect with those who have been the k eepers of t his land f or m illennia prior to t he a rrival of Western peoples. The t itle of the p resentation, " Edible, M edicinal, Material, Ceremonial Contemporary Ethnobotany of Southern C alifornia I ndians," may have led one to expect a very d ry c ollegiate discussion of plant, genus and species followed by d etails of the plants f unctions among Southern C alifornia N ative Indian Tribes. Anyone a ttending with "the expectation to receive such a s cientifically e nlightening e xperience would have come away very d isappointed. For anyone a ttending without p reconceptions, the evening was a delight. The p rofessor delivered the p resentation, and was enthusiastically commented on by c o-presenter Lydia Vassar, a Luiseno basket weaver who teaches basket weaving on the Pechanga r eservation at the Pechanga C Mmmakilawish School. It was a sentimental j ourney back in t ime to re-visit the lost and recently r e-discovered Luiseno a rt of weaving baskets, as well as a few side t rips t o d iscuss some of the other u seful plant species in the area. Vassar brought j oy and excitement to all in a ttendance as she focused less on the s pecific plant applications than she did on the e ssential and h armonious c o-existence between the p lants and the indigenous people. Her mother was in the audience f or the evening and also c ontributed some of h er wisdom t o t he conversation. In her s torytelling it was clear that m odern society was i mpacting the local t ribes, and l ocal p lants, both in a less than positive m anner. But the stories were n othing but positive, as she d escribed how t he knowledge of her own t ribes basket weaving had been lost, and was now being r eborn through the g uidance of elders among other t ribes. She is clearly p assionate about basket weaving, and her enthusiasm to inspire and guide a new generation of basket weavers is u nbounded. Basket weaving locally d epends on the Juncus p lant, a g rass species whose population is being t hreatened by non-native invasive species such a s Pampas g rass. In a ddition, several other f actors enter into t he equation of collecting m aterials to c reate t hese b askets that not only f unctional, but a re also in t heir own right g reat works of a rt. Among t he challenges of collecting enough of the Juncus t o begin the weaving, ( preferably the uncommon brown stems) include the all t oocommon o ccurrence of poison oak w ithin the r eeds of the J uncus p lant; Vassar described methods" she used to p rotect h erself f rom the vicious bite of t he poison oak oil as she h arvested plants for her c raft. A lso t hroughout history, t here have been no b oundaries to c ollecting plant?, and today f ences and b orders impinge on the t radition i tself. A s the local t ribes begin t o r ediscover t heir old ways, p erhaps t hose of u s who have c reated physical and s piritual b arriers can c reate new pathways to bridge these t wo c ultures t ogether in living harmony. Perhaps the best way to d escribe the event was a s an i ntercultural conversation, as r eminiscence to old ways, and an introduction for those who were unaware that t here are ways to e xperience l ife's great j oy without the relentless pur- suit of m onetary and m aterial r ewards. Spending t he e vening l istening and c onnecting was c ertainly a reward in i tself. Photos by Blaine H. Mogil �Faces & Places S tudying a broad at C S U S M Accents THE PRIDE BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer My name is James Roche. I'm a student at the University of Central Lancashire, UCLan, and I'm here at Cal State San Marcos on a yearlong exchange program. Anyone heard of the English city of York? Don't worry, you're not the only one. It's in Northern England and is over four hours away from London. So being from the north of E ngla^, the opportunity to come study in Southern California was too good to turn down. For most international students thinking about, studying abroad, California is theprime choice; the sun, sand and sea on your doorstep everyday is a dream come true! I arrived. here a couple of weeks earlier than I was required to, as I wanted to relax and enjoy the place before the classes started. Once those two weeks were up I had to move into the University Village Apartments, which was a bit strange initially for me as everyone at university in England has their own room. I think I've been lucky because I get along with my roommate and the other guys in my apartment. This is a concern for most internationals upon coming jto America I think, as you do hope to get along with someone who you will be living in the same room for the next six months to a year. The people that I have met out here have been nice and welcoming, and I already knew a few people before I came across the pond. This is due to them coming to my university in England on an exchange program. This is also how 1 met my American girlfriend! Having a British accent seems to be a nice thing to have here as it's an easy way to start up a conversation and most people seem to like it. I'm taking Mass Media classes here and have found them quite interesting. It's nice when the professor comes to you for an international view on the topic, for example we recently talked about American Idol and it was nice to mention that Britain had the idea for that show first! The budget crisis was a serious shock to me though as I was not made aware anything like this could happen when I applied to CSUSM. I have had one class cancelled already which was both worrying and annoying at the same time. I was also astounded at the amount of books you have to buy and the cost, although speaking to a few people I think I've been lucky with my course. I think I'll struggle to get used to a few things. For example, why does football have to be soccer here? That hurts me the most! Also, Americans refer to table tennis as ping pong. I know they're the same thing but it's my English pride that takes the hit saying it differently. However, with all the differences, CSUSM seems like a great place to come to and I think I'm going to have a great year! Tuesday SEPTEMBER 29, 2 009 O a nd culture shock BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer Who'd have thought after 3 weeks ofconversing with the local Brits, that I wouldn't understand a good majority of local sayings? It's simply shocking walking into the local Essentials Food Market (like Cougar Corner, only British) to pick up a loaf of bread and a Diet Coke, and after I pay I follow up with an immediate thank you only to have the person on the other side of the register reply with "cheers." No, we weren't toasting to my purchase with a large pint of Guinness, this is a local expression for "thank you" and/or "have a nice day." Everywhere I go this is said along with varying other says that I seem to slowly pick up, like the fact that frenchfriesare known as chips, then what are Doritos know as? The point is that a good majority ofwhat we know can drastically change depending on where you are in the world and how you're perceived. I know I got some strange look when I said "fanny pack" in public (yeah, it's actually a word used to describe a certain body part, try to guess!). And with that comes the realization of culture shock—the idea of being in a new and foreign place where things as little as words could mean completely the opposite. But it's a good culture shock, the learning outcomes that come from it are one that will help throughout the rest of the time living in said coun- try and it's definitely something to take back home. Speaking of taking things back home, accents! They're sexy, different, and above all, just plain awesome! Going to class every other day puts you at the forefront of speech in a foreign country, so sure enough, my dream would be to come sounding like Daniel Craig or something. And along with the culture shock, comes the fact that I myself didn't know that I had an accent apparently. According to locals, I'm the one with the American accent, and somehow they can pinpoint that I'mfromCalifornia. It's just simply something that I never thought about, here I was ready to go to the UK and gain an accent for myself. All the while, people already in the UK were prepping to hear accents from varying countries, including theU.S. So, it just goes to show, that even though almost every country contains people, buildings, roads, we're all essentially the same. We are people, united under the banner of Homo sapiens. But we should all strive to learn from the cultures of others to influence and better ourselves. So, I propose a trade, how about the UK brings over a Chipotle franchise here to understand the deliciousness of it (I'm dying for a burrito STAT!). And in return, America will create a method to gain cool British and phrases to better understand our friends across the pond. Deal? L ooking to join a g ym? Y ou a lready h ave! N ew A SI fitness classes are available to all students BY MAEV E CAMPLISSON Pride Staff Writer ulty, and staff are all welcome to join at anytime during the semester. The week days and times of the program ASI Campus Recreati|h and The vary with each, class, but the full Clarkefieldhouse now offer an array schedule is available from brochures of fitness classes including Zumba, in The Clarke. Students may join for yoga, ab blast, and a boot camp-style free, while faculty and staff pay $39 workout The classes take place in per class, which is a 22% discount the gym, and they started the week from last year's cost Saul Garcia, the Intramural Coorof September 14th but students, fac- dinator, described the casual nature of the programs as "basically just classes where you can come, show up, and participate." Since they are already covered by the tuition fees students pay at the beginning of each semester, students "should at least check them out," Garcia said: The ASI Coordinator of Campus Recreation, Hugo Lecomte, said that image courtesy of Associated Students Inc. before attending fitness classes or working out in the gym, participants will need to have a membership card for Hie Clarke, which students can easily obtain by visiting The Clarke field house and filling out a few forms. He also advised partakers to arrive early enough to warm up before classes start Getting your body properly stretched is one of the most important things to do before working out, so make sure to look up some stretches online if you don't remember anyfromprevious fitness classes. The newfitnessclasses are just one of the many free resources students have on campus that they may not even know about, and they are also a fun way to get a good work out, stay healthy, and socialize. �O Tuesday SEPTEMBER 29, 2 009 Arts & Entertainment W orld M usic BY AMY SALISBURY Copy Editor The proverbial "bubble" is the newest form of international criticism toward American people. You've heard of it: the idea that Americans are culturally aittight. This Zip-lock effect extends beyond our collective ignorance concerning world politics and events. It also controls even our pop cultural preferences. Of course, the latter isn't necessarily a societal detriment; any country could say the same about its inhabitants to some degree. The majority of U.S. Americans have heard of The Beatles from England, Bjork from Iceland, and Shakira from Columbia. The problem is, the greater part of international musicians that are established in America are the ones who have catered to American taste, likely because American entertainment monopolizes much of youth culture. It's a natural thing considering the largest and most powerful record labels currently call the States home. Seeing as how artists like Mariah Carey hog even the World Music Awards, the most effective way to hunt for international musicians is to do just that: hunt. I offer the following artists under the disclaimer that 1 am indeed an American as well and can only go as far as the Internet may take me. Onward, I say! Indipop broke into the American entertainment sceiie with the success of the British film Slumdog Millionaire. Indian composer and producer Allah Rakha "A.R." Rahman began scoring Bollywood movies in t he 90s, garnering mass success in his native India before "Jai Ho" came to the States. He's worked with several Hindi and Tamil musicians to turn out hit after hit in his token symphonic style, prevalent in India as well as in Indian communities in Europe. Origa, or Ol'ga Vital'evna Yakovleva, is a Japanese pop singer of Russian origin. She gained popularity throughout the 90s and early 2000s with the rise in mainstream Anime interest, and the majority of her fanbase is still in Japan. The language Origa sings in varies by album; sometimes she will even use more than one language in the same song. Though she is no longer an active artist in Russian, the Japanese still can't get enough. Polish music culture is unusual because it's one of the only countries without pop music ruling the charts. Rather, Poland has a huge death metal scene, with the band Vader at the forefront. As you'd imagine, the band took their name from the Star Wars series, and their style certainly reflects the character's darkness. Throughout Ukraine, Germany, and the THE P RIDE Image courtesy of Jmignited.com Czech Republic, Vader satiates their fans' desire for the best death metal in Eastern Europe. For over 25 years, Egyptian musician Amr Diab released and continues to release the most popular music in the country. He's smashed album sales records throughout the Middle East and is as loved today as in the mid-80s when he first came to prominence. His dance-style music crosses over to places including Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia, and is considered the favorite of all Arab pop singers. The planet is a big place, and the musical world is even larger. Each of the nearly 200 countries in existence has its unique variants and reasons for why its people enjoy the music they do. Language is an understandable barrier, but the love of music is unanimous. A uthor b rings real w orld e xperience to C S U S M BY TRISH CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Knowing a successful author brings reality to the forefront and is no longer a distant hypothetical for aspiring student writers on campus. The Community and World Literary Series featured author Stephen-Paul Martin at CSUSM's Clarke Field House in the Grand Salon on Thursday, Sept. 24. It was a grand evening filled with buzz and excitement. Stephen-Paul Martin is a widely published author with work ranging from poetry, fiction and non-fiction. The National Critics Circle Fiction Award in 1993 nominated Martin for "The Gothic Twilight." His most recent collection is "The Possibility of Music." He graduated from New York University with his doctorate. His upcoming fiction collection "Changing the Subject," will debut in 2010, published by Ellipsis Press. Professor Mark Wallace started the literary series on campus and over the years brought real world experience to the academic scene. His intentions included giving students the opportunity to see and discuss published work with the authors themselves. Student Jennifer Hylander admitted she had attended the event as a required assignment. However, she said, "I would have come even if it wasn't an assignment, because [Martin] is a great writer and I can learn something from him." The reading began with StephenPaul Martin instructing the listeners to clear their minds of intent and preconceived notions. He read a story inspired by illegal whaling practices and by Herman Melville's « Moby Dick. He forewarned us about by his intentions of portraying the way humans abuse animals for their own self-serving. Student Jeannine Clark' had mixed feelings on this aspect of on Martin's writing. She said, "Stephen-Paul Martin obviously is a very compassionate man with a big heart for animals. At times though, I felt like he had an agenda to push and that got in the way of the writing for me." She followed by adding, "I do think the reading series is important for literature and writing students so that we get the chance to see contemporary writers read and discuss their work." ; Even though this event is beneficial to the development of student, it has not escaped the looming shadow of the budget crisis. Last year there were three Literary Series events. This semester there will only be two events not because of lack of demand but because of lack of funding. "It's like they cut the things that help us most. I'm here because I want to be a good writer. Who else can teach me that but a good published writer? What are we paying for?" said student Rachel Busnardo. Salt to taste Pepper to taste Cook macaroni according to package direction in salted water. Drain and let cool.

Cougar kitchen BBQ & M ac BY TRISH CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Shoved in the back of my drawers and stuck in the crevices of my refrigerator are colorful packets of single serving sauces. I get them with tacos, chicken nuggets, french f ries and chow mien. They span great lengths of the. fast food and takeout culinary landscape. I am a hopeless packrat of packets, never throwing anything out because of the slim chance I might need it, whatever it may be. Finally came a day when my husband sat me down calmly and said, "Use it or lose it." Out of fear of jny collection of condiments going to t he trash, I turned my stash into dinner. Condiments are expensive. To buy a whole bottle of soy sauce when all you need is a splash can be overwhelming on the pocket book. In these two recipes I have used a bevy of basics such as mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, Tabasco, soy sauce, sugar, and even salt and pepper. I would also like to make a special thanks to Chik-Fil-A who has a lovely selection of condiments j ust lying out there in the open waiting for customers to choose. The sauce for my macaroni salad is basic and you can use it for tuna salad, chicken salad, even coleslaw. Also, BBQ sauce is a basic combination of sugar and ketchup, as used in my chicken recipe. So save those packets of condiments and get creative.

According to the official Army autopsy reports in the film, Dilawar was brutally beaten to death after only five days in custody at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. His death was reported on widely and it is clear that those who caused his death were heinous in their actions and it is still unclear how high up the chain of command the orders to treat prisoners in this fashion went. It is not too difficult to imagine that this came from the very highest levels of military command. No matter the driving force behind these crimes, this film goes to great lengths to try to discern the truth. In response to the excellent reporting contained in this film and the sensitive manner with which all concerned have been portrayed, this film has received a 100% rating on the film review site Rotten Tomatoes making iKthe third highest film rating in that website's history.

The Cougars Surf Team, in their first year of competition, was able to compete and place higher titan other local colleges such as the University of San Diego and San Diego State University. "Our performance at nationals was exceptional, considering it was our first year competing in the NSSA. Everyone did their best and ended up finishing right along side the big schools that have done well every year. The most unique thing about Dave Kinacannon, is now returning for his second season. He missed two tournaments last season due to a broken leg, but he was still able to qualify for nationals and placed tenth.

Among its many findings, the audit asserts that certain CSUSM CoBA faculty and administrators who were responsible for the MBA program offered through Extended Studies "acted collectively in disregard of various laws, regulations, and California State University (CSU) policies and procedures." According to the audit, "over $300,000 in Continuing Education Revenue Fund (CERF) expenditures" which were insufficiently associated with the CERF program "were made as grants to CoBA faculty". In its official July 16 press release, CSUSM has maintained that it had taken action to correct the situation. The audit also highlights various ways in which leaders and prior cam|>Us administrators acted in an "economically wasteful manner" in a summary which includes the following: - CoBA faculty responsibilities were additionally decreased when it separately hired student advisors. CoBA faculty workloads were calculated in a manner that reduced student classroom contact for many CoBA tenured faculty. CoBA discretionary expenditures were often, inadequately supported and inappropriately approved. Hourly rates for faculty with consulting contracts ranged from less than $50 per hour to several hundred dollars per hour without any perceptible justification for variances in the rates charged. Jack Leu, associate professor and former director of the MBA program from 1999-2001, notes that "Cal State-business schools have had inadequate funding for decades." Professor Leu states the problems that the program faced which include the struggle in recruiting talented faculty and how their actual workload of giving up a winter or summer break for extra pay "was rewarded with sub-market compensation." According to Professor Leu, "We could have taken the conventional approach of many CSU campuses. However, we taught our students not to be limited by system constraints, not to accept status quo and to take the journey less traveled. Perhaps we must also tell our students that the lesstraveled journey can also lead to p eril" In terms of how the Extended Studies MBA has operated as an academic program, the investigation concludes that it was "improperly administered" by the CoBA and ES management. Some examples of those findings include that: - Campus standards over grades were iiot followed. ES exercised little control over the operation of the CoBA ES MBA program. In addition, it retained few official accounting or academic records for the program as it does for all other ES programs at CSU San Marcos. Campus academic leaders, the CoBA dean, and MBA program leadership failed to act with due care and attention toward Office of the University Auditor findings and recommendations presented in the Continuing Education audit in December 1999. - Concern regarding thé management of the * CoBA, more specifically how the ES MBA program is being operated, has been expressed by students. Continuing Education Revenue1 Funds are expended in accordance with Education Code requirements, and training has been scheduled for administrative staff and faculty. 5. Special consulting contracts that pay faculty for duties typically included in their teaching responsibilities have been discontinued. 6. Pay for hours worked by faculty on grants now correlate to actual pay rates. While the special investigation gives numerous recommendations "which would mitigate the recurrence of similar findings In his article, Professor Leu in the future," in its press release, also states, "Faculty must not the university has listed the fol- be discouraged.

Another service ASI offers is childcare, which manifests itself in the form of the Early Learning Center (ELC). Although die current ELC is small and can only-accommodate about 50 kids, there are plans to move it to campus and expand its accessibility in the future. The ASI Programming Board (comprised only of students) plans and carries out events that they think students will enjoy. Some events they organize for students include lunchtime concerts & BBQs, famous cultural speakers, cultural festivities, homecoming activities, and annual events like the Masquerade Ball & Student Leadership Awards Night. There is not yet a 3rd College of Arts&Science Rep, a College of Education Rep, or a Post-Baccalaureate Rep, because all of those positions are vacant and need to be filled.

In my capacity as your A.S.I. Secretary, over the summer I had the opportunity to interact with a lot of incoming freshmen at orientation. Oftentimes this interaction involved nothing more than simply walking by them on my way to another spot on campus. It seemed to me that almost every time I would walk through a crowd of freshmen guys talking (or whispering) amongst themselves, I heard a familiar theme repeated over and over. It went something like, "Daaamn bro, look at all the hot chicks here yo, we're outnumbered like two to one!" Indeed, I admit, I was just as excited about that ratio when I first came to this school. Unfortunately what these guys don't realize yet (but they undoubtedly will once the semester gets underway) is that that ratio offers absolutely no assurance that they will "hook up" with any girls, let alone one.

It's common knowledge that, when it comes to understanding women, most guys are about as smart as a block of concrete. Our biggest problems are that, first of all, we simply don't talk to enough girls, and since most of us aren't very perceptive or sensitive, usually we either misinterpret (or just plain, miss) the signals girls do give us that are supposed to let us know they wouldn't mind it if we talked to them more and/or asked them out on a date. When I told my 12 buddies this, they all grudgingly concede that they couldbe better about approaching more girls. But, as far as not being able to read signals that girls are supposedly sending to them, they get outright indignant and sometimes even kind of pissed off. "WHAT SIQNALS?!?!" they all retort. "Are we supposed to be like mind-readers or something man? Are they using telepathy or something?!?! See man, that's what's messed up about chicks is that they always expect you to come to them, but when you do think you've received some kind of signal and you do step to them, 99.9% of the time you either just get straight up dissed, or they're nice but didn't �W ho B e n e f i t s W hen S t u d e n t s H ave t o C rash C l a s s e s By Gail Tarantino Pride Staff Writer It's that time of year again. Between having a crappy registration time, and the fact that the school only offers two sections of a core class that you need, so you are left having to crash a class that you can't graduate without. You are desperate. You have to have this class this semester because it's either & prerequisite, or it's not offered in the spring, or you need it to graduate on time. You don't even care that it's only offered at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesdays, or 11:00 am on Tuesdays and Thursdays, you've got to have this class. really want anything to do with you and you start thinkin' you're crazy 'cause you were sure they were givin' you the go-ahead, but then it never works out, you never get any love, you end up pissed off at yourself, frustrated, lonely, and highly discouraged... and after a while you just stop trying to talk to them with any hope of ever hooking up or getting a date because you and all your boys are like, "man, the chicks at this school are wack!" I think whatthe guys are trying to say is that girls need to stop waiting for guys to approach them, and they need to be clearer about the signals they give. Please ladies, don't take this personally and try to see this for what it really is: A CRY FOR HELP. The guys at this school are frustrated and confused. They want to get to know you better, but they aren't having much success, and don't know how to fix this problem. Guys like to fix things. Please help usfixthis situation. I'm sure all the guys at this school would really appreciate it if one of you that read this would write an article for the Pride telling us what we're doing wrong. And if you don't feel like writing an article but would like to share your thoughts feel free to email/ call me (see below), or stop by my office in Commons 203, and then I'll turn around and write a follow up article. So you arrive early on the first day of class only to find that it's standing room only. You wait silently for the adjunct du jour to arrive, while wondering how many others will try to crash. You ponder your possibilities. Usually the instructor will either refuse all crashers (in order to keep the class size small), take all crashers (knowing in two weeks there will only be 15 students still enrolled), or just let graduating seniors crash. I'm not just talking about the occasional class everyone has had to crash, but some students have to crash multiple classes every semester. to know each other all that well. We don't hang out together outside of school enough. We don't party together enough. I repeat, WE DON'T PARTY TOGETHER ENOUGH. This needs to change. No, I'm not joking, I'm dead serious. We need to have more parties. In my experience and that of all my friends, parties are clearly the best places to meet people, and lay the foundations for sometimes long-lasting and rewarding friendships. But how many big cool parties did you get invited to and go to last year based on your connection to someone at this school? Undoubtedly there are many of you out there that could count them on one hand, ^nd probably still more that couldn't count any. This needs to change. We need to party together. We need to have fun together. We need to be able to say to ourselves after we leave this place, "My time at San Marcos was so fun, that school rocked, I made so many friends, I went out with so many girls (or guys, depending on what you go for), I had the time of my life, I have no regrets and I 'm sad to be leaving." Unfortunately, at this point, I doubt most of us would say this. So, let's party. I challenge everyone whom this article resonates with, who has access to a house that it would be cool to throw a party at, to offer to host a big kickass party. If you need help organizing it, come talk to me, I'm here to help. My roommate and I wanted to throw a big party ourselves but we can't because we just moved into a condo. But if this article resonates with you, if you're feelin' me, and if you've got that perfect house, please, do yourself and everyone else at this school a favor, call me. But folks, there's really no amount of any such suggestions that would change the situation here. Guys will be guys, and girls will be girls. What we all need to realize is that ultimately, it's not a matter of whether it's more the guys fault or more the girls fault for keeping us all single, lonely, and wishing we weren't... ultimately the problem i s that for the majority of Hie students here, the environment we interact in, this school, is fundamentally nonAlone, we'll continue to wish conducive to fostering interperthings were different.. .together sonal relationships. we could make this place rocle We drive to school, go to class, then leave right away (usually Erik Roper alone) to go to work or some other commitment. We don't get While getting the classes you need is always a challenge, one thing is for certain: the system of crashing works to the detriment of students and faculty, and to the benefit of the administration which is why the administration likes it and will continue to sit back and not do a thing to dismantle it. classes but only getting paid for two. The administration saves on payroll, collects maximum tuition fees, and can continue pretending that the existing number of classes that are offered to students is sufficient. So while frustrated students cope with inadequate class choices, the part-time instructors get less pay and have larger classes. This is a very conLet me explain.

Yes, we students are the customers, and the college would cease to exist without us. The students deserve better treatment than we have received in the past, and better than we are receiving now. So the next time you crash a class successfully, be sure to tell the teacher thank you. And for all you instructors that take crashers; thank you. Without you some of us would not be able to graduate on time. R epublican B ait a nd S witch Recently Bush has proclaimed the greatest Republican fable of them all, that all of Nixon's economic troubles were the fault of Lyndon Baines Johnson. Is this factually correct? "At the same time, [Bush] insisted upon fiscal discipline, drawing parallels between economic conditions during the Vietnam conflict and those now surrounding his war on terrorism. In the 1960s, war spending was not balanced by cuts in the rest of government spending and, as a result, the 1970s saw deep unemployment, growing deficits and spiraling inflation, [Bush] said" (Aug 18, 8:16 AM ET By SANDRA SOBIERAJ, AP). course, the executive Republicans Milton advocated tax cuts to have never balanced a budget the top wages earners as the way to stimulate the economy with since. a 'trickle down' effect.

Of course, as an actor he This was about twice the ampunt of time (and money) that had people believing the tax cuts were really for everybody! Bigger and bigger deficits from Milton-Reagan folly resulted. COMMENTARY If you believe that today's economy is the result of Clinton's presidency, perhaps the above claim would be considered reasonable. But let 's take a stroll down memory lane to that time of strife amidst love, the 1960's> and judge events for ourselves. Johnson knew the Vietnam War was a mistake by 1966, and spent the rest of his presidency alternating peace negotiations with targeting bombing. Johnson made one of the supreme sacrifices of any president in our history by taking responsibility for his Vietnam failure and did not seek to be reelected. He spent the rest of his presidency in non-partisan peace negotiations with the North Vietnamese to bring an honorable end to the war, and allow a predecessor to negotiate freely with out the responsibility for his actions. Johnson fell on his sword, handing Nixon a way to end the conflict, reduce defense spending, and keep the balanced budget alive that Johnson handed Nixon in 1969. Of The deficit spiral could only be stopped by another modest Keynesian democrat, Bill Clinton. A slight increase on taxes paid by those whose incomes exceeded $200,000 a year allowed for a few targeted investment and research programs to blossom. In a few years, deficits gave way to surpluses and the middle class was again treated to Keynes understood the wisdom targeted tax cuts. of stimulating growth through Now here comes George Bush public works projects.

J L The Associated Students of CSUSM have grown tired of this adage.They want to start winning. And with the new aces they have up their sleeve this semester, that just may happen. For the first time since they came into existence, a budget has been approved for their use. That means each student pays an extra $20 in fees when paying for tuition. Many students wonder where that money goes and if they are simply throwing away twenty bucks. But the Associated Students have not been idle with it. Theirfirstmajor project has been to tackle the problem of pay-per-print. According to David Alimi, vice president offinance,A.S. feels this policy is unfair and inconvenient. However, they realized quickly that they had no power to change the policy itself at this time because of a separate contract between the school and IKON. As an alternative, they are working on instituting a "computer work station program." Through this program, GSUSM would become a vendor of reasonably priced computers. Two systems would be offered, one for less than $900, to interested students. Even the less expensive system would have all the components needed for students to complete assignments. They come with a four-year warranty. Just about the length of a student's career. Alimi and the rest of A.S. hope this can be an alternative to constantly being at the mercy of the school's computer rules and costs. It would also be an excellent investment, he said. Not only does A.S. have a budget now, but they have someone to help them make Parking problems persist at Cal. State San Marcos by Helen Dahlstrom r | l o say the campus paiking situation I is more challenging than ever this J L fall is somewhat of an understatement. With enrollment up by 400 this fall and no additional spaces to be had, it has become downright frustrating to most students. According to the Office of Enrollment Services, CSUSM enrollment this semester is 4,647, up from 4,233 last fall. There also are 700 faculty and staff members. Paiking is limited to 1,399 spaces in student lots, 350 in faculty and staff lots, and 64 spaces for the disabled... a total of 1,813 spots. But more than 3,000 parking permits have been issued this semester. Some students have managed to develop new coping strategies. One is to arrive earlier. Angie Boswell, senior majoring in social science, says she "deliberately takes a 7:30 a.m. class in order to avoid the parking problem on campus." Other students have been forced to prowl the lanes in the parking lot, waiting to catch someone leaving. But it's not just students who are frustrated. Spanish professor Miguel Zapata complains that the overflow from the student lots is now impacting the faculty lot. "I ask my students if anyone is parked in the staff lot, and I know some that have already been ticketed," he adds. Some students blame university officials. Aldene Yeo, a junior majoring in liberal studies, says, "They need to reassess their current parking lots versus their enrollment." Dr. Alexander Gonzalez, interim CSUSM president, acknowledges that parking is; a critical issue. At a Sept. 18 forum, he noted that the university is "looking into alternatives, such as using the Palomar Pomerado Health Services (PPHS) parking lot for overflow, until funding can be made available for new lot construction." There are "glimmers of hope," however, the most of it. Darlene Willis has been added as the executive director of the A.S. Willis comesfromCal State Hayward and is hailed as a powerful asset by all in the A.S. H erjob is to act as middleperson between the A.S. and the administration. When problems arise, Wilis will be there to help A.S. (and as a result, all CSUSM students) get their voice heard and be taken seriously. Wilis is concentrating right now on getting the accounting fee lowered for A.S. If this happens, they will have more of the money we pay them to work with. That means more events on campus, more speakers, and more funds for important projects like child care and sports. The A.S. looks like it's beginning to win already. And that means, ultimately, results for all CSUSM students. according to Dora Knoblock, assistant to the director of Public Safety Services. Plans for the spring semester include using the PPHS lot for overflow, with shuttle service to the main campus. Shuttles also are planned from student lots 106 and 10. An incentive car-pool program will be introduced next semester. Long-term solutions include the construction of two new parking lots with a total of 600 additional spaces. Construction is scheduled to begin in the summer of 1998, with completion scheduled for the following fall. In the meantime, Parking Services is keeping enforcement to a minimum, even including abstaining from ticketing red zones on some peak days. Knoblock said thefirstfour weeks of each semester normally is the worst time for parking overflow. But this year, she added that peak period could be extended since both the number of visitors and concurrent Palomar students have increased. "With the younger student population, we are seeing more parents visiting the campus for the first time, and many students at Palomar are unaware that the North County Transit District now has bus service to CSUSM," she added.

"Each day is tailored to represent one industry," said Sandra Punch, director of the CSUSM Career Center. 'The events scheduled for each day are much more involved than educating students on how tofindjobs in their field of interest" On Oct. 7th, Business and Finance Day, she added, "There will be opportunities to network with professionals in a variety of fields through 'Making Connections' night, where students can have employers and professionals critique their resumes, and learn what they specifically look for in an employee" The four industries represented during Career Week will offer workshops on how applicants can market themselves on paper. Speakers, including CSUSM alumni, will offer advice and hints. For students interested in further study programs, there is a workshop Oct. 9th on graduate and professional schools. More than 51 such institutions including some from out of state and even out of country will be represented. The fields these programs will cover include chiropractic medicine, social work, dental, psychology, and law. The Career Center also offers a mock test to help prepare those students interested in post-graduate study. Oct 6 is Health and Human Services Day, including a workshop on "Careers in the Gerontologyfield."A panel of professionals will be on hand from noon to 1 p.m. to answer specific questions. Oct. 8 is Science and Technology Day, including a workshop on how to search for a job via the Internet. The CSUSM Career center is making every effort to get the word out about Career Week. A counselorfromthe center will be available at a table in the Dome each school day until Oct 6 to answer questions about the week. A full calendar of events can be picked up either at the center or at the Dome table. "Please come by and ask us questions," urged Punch. "We are here for you." "This is a fantastic opportunity for students." Efficiency is key to library's success by Debbie holderby "TT ooks can be deceiving. Take the camI pus library, for example, which on K Jibe surface appears small, but operates with peak efficiency. Walking into it for thefirsttime, you may be surprised at the lack of space. Indeed, its staff members say they often get phone calls from putside researchers, asking for material. The callers, they add, are usually surprised tofindthat CSUSM's library is so small. "Aren't you a university?" they ask, expecting a far bigger facility. When the campus first opened, the library's location was to be temporary. But, as time passed and plans for a new facility were put on hold, it became semi-perm anent and its space needs began to outgrow its physical limitations. Originally, the library was intended to be totally electronic, with no books, periodicals, or paper. But, when studies indicated the goal of no hard copy was impractical, it was back to the drawing board. Plans for construction of a new home for the library are currently being reviewed. But things are not always what they seem, and the library is no exception. While it lacks physical space, the need for services has created innovative ways of getting the job done. According to staff member Judith Downie, the library operates "lean, but not mean." Because of the lack of space, what's available must be utilized as efficiently as possible. The staff puts a high priority on service to faculty and students and, thanks to such high tech tools as Lexis/Nexis and the electronic catalog system, manages tofindwhat most patrons need. "There is no such thing as a stupid question,"Downie says, "So ask!" Those unsure of how to use the library system are invited to make appointments with its staff members, who can provide half-hour, personalized instruction on how to use its resources. Students are encouraged to do so. There also is a suggestion box, located at the front desk, and all comments are periodically evaluated. Results of such reviews are posted on the bulletin board near the exit. Hung jury on The Dome cafeteria by Kristina Seth f I the thumbs have spoken! The verdict: I up for the variety of new pizza of fered in the Dome cafeteria, but down for its higher prices and mixed on its taste. The new Delia Suprema Pizza from Aztec Shops has replaced thatfromPizza Hut, a campus staple in the past. Why the switch to apparently more costly fare? Cafeteria officials refused a request for an interview by The Pride, but Laura Gropen, marketing director for Aztec Shops, provided a few suggestions. Gropen also contended that the new pizza is actually a bargain. Aztec Shops pizza costs $1.79 for an 8-ounce vegetarian pizza (without cheese), $1.89 f or one with cheese, $2.19 for one with pepperonbi and $2.29 for a Hawaiian. That compares favorably with last year's Pizza Hut price of $2.39 for a 9-inch slice, Gropen said, adding that Pizza Hut planned to raise its price to "well over $3." "Our goal is to offer students the highest quality product at the lowest price," she said. ' The perception that the price of the ne w Bella Suprema Pizza is higher than the Pizza H ut's is a misperception. Our gourmet pizza is made with three high quality California brand -nirfn nmijjctftror«jfjtugj».jilujgjfrii cheeses: realskin mozzarella, jack and Cheddar. The ham and pepperoni is fresh Hormel meat. The tomatoes arefreshcut daily, and the dough is preparedfresh.The sauce is Heinz pizza sauce." Unfortunately, the jury is still out on" Gropen's contention. Most students interviewed rated taste more consequential than nutrition. Of 25 interviewed, only six liked the new pizza's taste. "Yuck!" was a common comment. "It was cold and it doesn't taste near as good as Pizza Hut's," said one student A Ramonafreshmanagreed: "The cheese had a weirdflavor,"he said. "It tasted like EMAIL: pridc@maiIhostl.csusm.cdu the inside of a freezer." A minority of those interviewed disagreed. "I love it!" said one. "I was going through pizza withdrawal over the summer." More students were excited about the new House of Tsang assorted rice bowls, which range in price from 99 cents for steamed rice to $3.59 for steak and chicken bowls. Vegetable bowls as well as fried rice with no meat cost $2.49. By contrast, the Dome's own steamed white rice costs 79 cents. "Students were upset when we ran out of the rice b owls," said one Dome employee. "They are very popular. We had no mswro* P oo b Kiiiitina Seth idea they would ht* y be in so much demand." Some 20 of the 25 students interviewed liked the chicken and steak bowls. The steamedricedrew some criticism for being too sticky. "We're talking so sticky you couldn't even see the individual pieces of rice," complained one. "It was just an undefined mass of white stuff." But, countered another, "Sticky rice is only bad if you don't like it that way. In some cultures the stickier the rice, the better. In China, for example, they like sticky rice." The price of the rice bowls was a different matter. "What are we paying so much for?" asked one student. "Rice is one of the least expensive foods you can buy!" In addition, new foods in the Dome include nachos for $1.99 and a pasta plate for $2.49, available at the grill for order behind the sandwich bar. Gropan said Aztec Shops is conscious of the growing desire for more vegetarian fare. Currently, the only truly new offerings are the veggie pizza and rice bowl. When the cafeteria first opened, it offered only pre-wrapped sandwiches and salads and canned sodas. PHONE: 750-4998 FA:75CM030 �Evening students left out by Sharon Hambly • e vening students are required to pay | H $20 in student health fees for benJ — / e f i t s that are difficult if not impossible to obtain. And while the class booklet states that the health services are available to all CSUSM students, the health center's days and hours are Monday through Friday, closing at 5 p.m. No evening hours or weekend services are offered. The center is not located on the campus but at the Palomar Pomerado building across the street in Suite 100. Executive Order 637 requires that the university system provide health services and also determines what constitutes health services. Executive Order 661 gives the Board of Trustees the authority to govern the fees. The campus president implements how these fees can be changed. The general funding is then based on the student population. Currently, CSUSM has the lowest fee in the state university system. Other universities are charging $70 a semester. Dr. Nicholson, director of health services since June 1996, said he does not have the staff for extended hours. One medical doctor, two part-time nurse practitioners and two psychiatrists work at the center* Evening students have complained about lack of evening services. The health center then attempted to extend their hours, but because of lack of use the extra hours were discontinued. Many students are mandated to pay the health fee even though they have their own health insurance. Here is a review of the health services: -all services are confidential -urgent care offered during regular hours -general medical care by physician or nurse practitioner -pharmacy service-prescriptions filled at very low cost -routine immunizations -TB testing -allergy injections -radiology services -anonymous HIV testing with pre- and post-test counseling -individual counseling for nutrition, cholesterol reduction, smoking cessation, family planning. The above-mentioned services are needed by many of our students, many of which attend school at night and are thus unable to recieve those services. Many believe that these services should be available to all students. This would mean that the hours would have to be more flexible. And for those students who have their own health plans, there should be an exemption, some students argue. Death of LSU student raises questions an active member of the fraternity. Leonard said when he initially heard of the death he was skeptical that the fraternity was to blame. The drinking allegedly was part of the acceptance process, he added. Leonard said he believes it was pait of a bid celebration and the "allegation of forced drinking [was] untrue." He added that manyfraternitymembers are big drinkers before they join. Kevin Owens, president of SAE at CSUSM, maintains the fraternity already takes matters of safety seriously. Owens pointed out that during parties the fraternity has designated drivers, wristbands to indicate partygoers of legal drinking age, and security to "control the scene." Owens added SAE annually elects a risk management officer, currently held by Winnjay Delacruz. Among other things, it is the responsibility of theriskmanagement officer to remain sober and ensure that partygoers do not go overboard when drinking, Owens stated. Owens and Delacruz both stated their by Jenifer Jaffe A 20-year-old student died last / \ month following a drinking binge JLJL during pledge week at Louisiana State University. Benjamin Wynne was hospitalized with a blood alcohol-level of .588 after campus police discovered him at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house, according to the San Diego Union Tribune. The fraternity's national office later suspended the LSU chapter pending IUI investigation. Though SAE at CSUSM has not felt any major repercussions from the death, national did warn them to "tighten up on risk management/' according to James Leonard, Students can trip out on language "W" T a v e you neglected your foreign lanI I guage graduation requirements for J L JLthis long? CSUSM and Palomar College offer many types of programs for CSU students to study abroad. The programs rangefromtwo shoit weeks to a full academic year and most require at least a 2.5 GPA. 'The respect I gained for Italy combined with the educational experience of Europe as well as gaining a deeper respect for my own country was intriguing and forever memorable," said one student. The CSU system-wide programs are affiliated with more than 70 institutions in 17 countries. Whether your desire is to fulfill your foreign studies or pursue another field of study, both colleges have specialized programs to accommodate your needs. Whether you wish to learn French in Canada or France, Spanish In Mexico, Costa Rica, Chile, or Spain, develop your artistic abilities at the Florence Academy of Arts, or pursue a broader education in agriculture or nutrition in New Zealand or Australia, your options are wide open. The length of study depends on your schedule, what you want to learn and accomplish and your desire to have a lifechanging experience. belief that the bartender who served Wynne was responsible for the death. Delacruz mentioned he worked as a bartender at one time, adding that when you knew someone had too much to drink, "you would cut them off." Owens said it is illegal to drink during rush, and as far as the role of alcohol in theirfraternity,it is "part of celebration, not a major part." Though all might classify the death of the student a tragedy, students at CSUSM disagree on where the ultimate responsibility lies. "Obviously in a situation like that peer pressure plays a major role; however, you and you alone are responsible for your own decisions and actions," said Rebecca Brown, a student of the credential program at CSUSM. Michelle Stuki, a senior at CSUSM, said, "Some of the responsibility has to lie on the bar for serving someone underage." One student said, "Some real attention should be paid in this case and some serious questions should be asked. Number one, does the fraternity condone the consumption of alcohol by its underage members? And if so, what steps are taken to ensure the safety of the individuals who do so?" While some programs are geared toward learning a language, most allow students to pursue their majors because students are integrated into the life of another culture. You do not need to know a foreign language to study in a non-English speaking country. One student who experienced an academic year in France said," After living in France for afewmonths, I felt comfortable and the first place I traveled to beyond France was Germany." She continued to explain how she felt a little estranged or awkward not knowing German. While riding the train back to France, "I realized I could understand what people were saying again and that, alone, made me feel at home." Whereas this CSUSM student studied abroad for an academic year, other programs consist of two weeks or a month. Another fellow student went to Mexico this summer and she felt that she "learned more being immersed in the culture and living with a Spanish-speaking family versus strictly classroom courses taught by teachers who spoke her native language." "CSU students are especially fortunate because they have a wide range of system^ wide study abroad programs available to them at extremely low costs," said Pam Bell, the CSU IP coordinator. Financial aid is available to students who qualify and the costs vary depending upon the country and type of program selected. If you still find yourself asking why, where, or how long you should go, attend a study abroad meeting listed below and ask questions. Students and faculty who studied in different countries will be delighted to answer and advise you according to your specific desires and needs. The meetings will be held in COMMONS 206 on Thurs., Oct 2 from 3:30-4:30 p.m.; Wed., Oct. 15 from 3:30-4:30 p.m.; Mon., Nov. 3 from noon-1 p.m.; and Tues., Nov. 11from2-3 p.m. Check it out, broaden your life by experiencing another country and culture.

Unlike other things we buy, our education is full of mystery and surprises, many of which may not emerge for years. Unlike the plumber and the cable guy, our educators might know "what we need' much, much better than we do, which calls for considerable faith on our parts. Which is to say that if you really want to get the most out of your time with us, we strongly recommend that you cultivate a deliberate openness of heart and mind Nowhere is this more true than in your relationships with your faculty (even your GE faculty). The relationship that might develop between a professor and a student is the secret treasure of the University experience. It is unpredictable. You don't know where or when it will happen, or what it's CSUSM welcomes Dr. Gonzalez... the new kid in school exact nature will be. We have often heard, over the years, the story of a student who chose a whole new major and career because some professor, in an elective course, simply blew the student's mind and gave the student the sense that s/he was remarkable. More alumni than you can imagine are where they are because they discovered this particular treasure. We would venture to say that potentially, such unexpected treasures are here for each of you, waiting for you to discover them. We wonder what would happen if each of you completely believed that this was true: completely believed, as you drove to campus every day, or picked out your classes each semester, that there was certainty going to be at least one professor that was going to be the one for you, the one whose mind you'd feel you just had to get to know as completely as possible and who'd be interested in cultivating yours in return. What kind of attitude about the University would come from belief like that? CAPS offers a quiet, confidential space for students to talk about any concerns or interests, personal or academic, at no charge for CSUSM students. We also like to help students cultivate good attitudes about themselves and their education! We are located in 5310 Craven Hall.

The university is the people in it. The students here have afreshnessand vitality in them that is unusual to me." Likewise, Gonzalez is impressed with the faculty's talents and would like to develop opportunities for those talents to fully mature. So, what is a university president is responsible for? He's our Leader: the university 's operations andfiscalmanager who is also responsible for the university's growth and conduct. He is both a philosophical and academic leader who provides direction and help to faculty, students, staff and community to fulfill their potential while at this institution. Pretty impressive stuff! However, he isn't stuffy. He eats in the Dome when he D <>n't be shy. Go over to him, introduce yourself and ask him if he minds if you sit down. He wants to talk with students, andremember,he is vepr approachable and easy to talk to. Moreover, he's new on campus and eating alone is a drag. How will you know him, you ask. He has a presence about him. You'll just know he's not a returning student (Hp: He's the one in the dry-cleaned shirt and wears a suit.) He's not particularly tall, but very solid and wears glasses. But therealgiveaway is his gray mustache, which stands out from his dark hair. You really can't miss him!

All in all, he is a very accessible man, enthusiastic and eager to talk about anything connected to "ave you ever wanted to meet the obscure people behind the im pressive" titles? The president or CEO of afrequentlyvisited ^organization? For most of us, we wouldn't dream of interrupting their busy schedules; besides, what would we say to them? What are we supposed to say to them? "Hello, there, and just what do you do here?" I recently met with CSUSM's new interim president, Dr. Alexander Gonzalez, and wondered what topics I should ask him about. Myfirstfear was that I wouldn't be able to understand his "academese," regardless of the topic. You know, the institutional language found in academic and medical journals: "Better evaluation of responses to treatment modalities depends on the standardization of an index allowing accurate descriptions of learning disorder behaviors" (Style, Fifth Edition, p. 4). Say what? If Dr. Gonzalez talked like that, I was in big trouble. I'm happy to report that Gonzalez speaks in plain and simple language, just like you and me. And when I asked the question, "Just what do you do here?" without hesitation he said, "To quote Harry S. Truman, 'The buck stops here.'" There you have it in a nutshell. In many ways, Gonzalez faced the same questions and fears that anyone would experience at the onset of a new semester or new job. The question, "Will I fit in and be accepted by the others?" is a realityforall of us, including college presidents. He wondered if he would be accepted by the faculty and staff as well as by students and the community.

Binge drinking down in America: Except among college students by College Press Service WASHINGTON—Heavy drinking is down in America, except for one notable place: college campuses. That's according to a report from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, which calls birige drinking "a widespread problem" on college campuses despite a decline in alcohol use among the general population. In 1994,40 percent of college students reported binge drinking at least once within the previous two weeks of being surveyed, according to the triennial report. The NIAAA defines "binge drinking" as consuming five or more drinks at one sitting. Gender seems to play a significant role in terms of binge drinking, with 52 percent of college men reporting such drinking as compared to 31 percent of women. Across the board, nearly 70 percent of college students said they drank alcohol at least once a month and about 4 percent said they drank daily, the study found. The report calls thefindingsfor college students "quite high" in light of a decline in drinking among high school seniors. The authors suggest that college students, who report drinking less in high school than non-college-bound seniors, may be "catching up" and possibly surpassing their peers not in college. The NIAAA, which has compiled previous studies on alcohol consumption, blames campuses for promoting a "culture of drinking" and praises alternatives such as alcohol-free parties. Among the general population, alcohol use hit a 30 year low in 1993, after peaking during the 1980s. Increased health concerns, less tolerant attitudes toward drinking, and stricter laws against drinking and driving are possible reasons for the change, the NIAAA said.

Governor expected to approve a bill to cut student fees T f Governor Pete Wilson approves a bill passed by the State Legislature, J LCSU students can expect afivepercent reduction in fees beginning in the fall of 1998. The reduction, whichWilson reportedly supports, would trim CSU fees to $1,504 a year from the current $1,584. Community college fees such as those at Palomar and Mira Costa would also drop from $l3"to $12. The cuts would apply only to state residents. Under the bill, introduced by Assemblyman Denise Moreno Ducheny, D-San Diego, the state would reimburse schools for the reduced fees. Thus, while students pay less, their colleges would not lose money. CSU spokesman Ken Swisher said the bill includes $19.4 million to refund to the universities that reduse their fees. �Entertainment A RTS & LECTURE PRINCIPLES SOUN D RE M E N T NVESTING SERIES OVER ONE MILLION OF THE BEST MINDS IN AMERICA HAVE ALREADY CHOSEN THE BEST RETIREMENT SYSTEM.

This booklet was a condemnation of homosexuality. It described in detail what the bible says about being homosexual and the punishments that should be inflicted. It tries to condemn homosexuality by quoting the words of God. Of course this works only if you have not taken the literature class, The Bible as Literature, where one would learn that the bible was written by men who believed they were writing God's words. Whilst I might be grateful for your concern for my immortal soul, I have to point out that if you are going to target someone to see things your way, you have to learn the correct symbols. The symbol on my car does not identify me as gay, although if I was I would not try to change it just to please you. No, my symbol declarestiiatI am a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. Try and correctly identify your targets otherwise you could have some very irate gay people wrongly accused of being alcoholic and that just won't do! 1 k-/ w V/ w A M VV w To my fellow students, On Hiesday, September 23td, I left a red 3 W disk in the computer lab, room 202.

In 1991, Schwarzenegger served as executive commissioner of the Hollenbeck Youth Center Inner-City Games in Los Angeles. This gave kids education, opportunities and encouragement. He was given the Muhammad Ali Award by Ali himself in 2002. The California Faculty Association (CFA), which strives to fight for issues regarding faculty rights and support for CSU funding, has taken a firm "No on recall" stance/ According to the CFA website (www.calfac.org) they have yet to make an official endorsement for a particular candidate. According to the Lieutenant Governor's website, Bustamante has been credited, with launching the College Opportunity Outreach Program (COOP) aimed at promoting the new $1.2 billion Gal Grant opportunities to prospective college students. ByŒADSPINKS Pride StaffWriter With the future of Democrats in Sacramento under scrutiny with the recall of Governor Gray Davis, Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante is campaigning with a "No on recall, yes on Bustamante" approach. As the top running candidate for the Democratic Party, students speculate how Bustamante will affect education. Bustamante is currently a member of the University of California board of regents and is acting chairman for the Trustees of the California State University (CSU) system. An important issue which affected CSU students Cruz supported the AB 16, K-12 & Higher Education Bond, which passed on the November 2002 ballot. The $12 billion bond focuses on the building and repairs of schools from high school to universities. The California-Mexico Scholars program, another college program established by Bustamante, offers postgraduate students opportunities to study at Mexican universities and opportunities for Mexican graduate students to study at California universities. Now, running for the Governor of California, Schwarzenegger has some plans with education in the state. Though not yet specified, Schwarzenegger's campaign website, http://www.joinarnoldxom/en/, said he will promote opportunities for students and work to make California's educational system stronger. He will make sure California schools contain the tools necessary to serve the students. He wants to invest more in teachers, the website said. By TIM JOHNSON Pride StaffWriter He's been on the big screen starring in many action packed movies such as all three "Terminator's" and "True Lies." He is also known for his bulging muscles giving him the look of a tough guy. Now Arnold Schwarzenegger is flexing his muscles through politics running for Governor of California. Schwarzenegger was born in Graz, Austria and came to the United States at the age of 21with only $20. He became a successful businessman before becoming an actor as an action-hero. He helped children through the Special Olympics Schwarzenegger supports Proposition 98 and his website said that he will protect California's commitment to education funding. He plans on letting schools make the decisions and building more of them. The website said he will send more funding into education for teachers, materials, and better schools. In his campaign website it said Schwarzenegger has big plans for the future of California and will work to make this state better. He thrives on the importance of education to give students a better opportunity in their lives.

Those who support Proposition 54 tell you it shouldn't and doesn't. They claim, that if passed, Prop. 54 will move us toward being a colorblind society. Educators in the state, including the California Teachers Association, argue that accountability in schools would be undermined due to the inability to collect data such as graduation and high school drop out rates. Programs designated to help improve schools would be significantly at risk if Proposition 54 passes. The Coalition for an Informed California, comprised of hundreds o f health, educational and civil rights groups, argues that Prop. 54 would undermine educational accountability, effectively block the collection of vital information needed to identify, track and address health disparities and cripple the state's ability to protect civil rights. Another major criticism of Proposition 54 deals with the protection of civil rights. Although data identifying race and ethnicity would no longer be collected, we understand that discrimination would undoubtedly still exist. Without racial and ethnic data, however, cases involving racial discrimination and racial profiling would be nearly impossible to Though often cited as a response to successfully prosecute. the health criticisms of the initiative, The arguments in favor of Proposition the health exemption on "medical 54 are deceptive, misleading and do research and patients" would still ban the collection of data needed to identify and not take into account the negative critically analyze disease and illnesses in implications affecting health, education and civil rights.

The relationships were estab­lished through the interest and commitment of a few people and have evolved into some formal relationships that involve scores ofindividuals across all divisions and colleges at the University. An acknowledgment of the California Indians came in 1968 when Governor Ronald Reagan signed a resolution calling for the fourth Friday of each Sep­tember to be American Indian Day. It was hoped that this acknowledgment would help to inform the general public about Native American heritage and the problems that are confronted by Native American in Califor­nia.

Mrs. Obama stressed the importance ofvoter registration and participation as well as touched upon issues concerning young Americans: college tuition, healthcare, global warming, and the war in Iraq. "Young voters will make a huge difference in this election, so make sure that you're registered to vote.

The University of Mississippi hosted the debate with PBS' Newshour anchor Jim Lehrer standing in as mod­erator. The economic crisis, which has dominated the nation's attention in recent days, threat­ened to postpone Friday's debate. Senator McCain sus­pended his campaign earlier this week to return to Wash­ington and help forge a resolu­tion on the government bailout plan. Senator Obama also par­ticipated in talks on the bail­out plan in the capitol, but he insisted that the debate con­tinue as scheduled. As talks the debate approached and Congress seemed close in on a plan, Sen- PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE ator McCain opted to continue on with the debate. In a statement released the day of the debate, Sept. 26, Senator McCain's camp said, "The McCain campaign is resuming all activities and the Senator will travel to the debate this afternoon." Though the economic crisis did not delay the debate, it did have a profound impact on what was discussed between the candi­dates. While originally slated to focus on foreign policy matters, economic crisis stole some of the spotlight at the debate. Modera­tor Jim Lehrer's first question to the two candidates was about the financial recovery plan and he did not move on to foreign policy until nearly 40 minutes later. Over the course of the 90 minute debate, the two candi­dates discussed everything from the proposed bailout plan, tax policy, alternative energy, Iraq, Iran, the Russia/Georgia conflict, meeting with foreign leaders. One of the most explosive topics between the two candi­dates was that of meeting with foreign leaders without precon­ditions. Senator McCain said of the matter ", This is dangerous.

For students lucky enough to register for all the courses they needed back in April or May, the transition from summer to semes­ter could have very well gone on off without a hitch. Many other students were not so fortunate. For a sophomore student given the lowest priority finishing up lower division course require­ments could prove problematic. Consider the Marketing major applying into the College of Busi­ness for their junior year that needs to complete their requirements to get accepted. If the problem at CSUSM were only comprised of a small hand­ful of unfortunates, the crash course approach would facili­tate that need just fine. During the first two weeks of school, the campus offers an add/drop period. A crasher typically attends their desired course and, at the discre­tion of the professor, is added into the course without an issue. The real picture paints a differ­ent scenario on this ever-growing campus. Over fifteen students attempt­ing to crash a desired course are turned away because the class­room is over capacity before the first day of class. Students enrolled in courses are forced to sit on the floor because crashers have taken up residence in the limited seats. Students are stuck with nine units as opposed to their desired twelve units. Faculty are overexerted after allowing more students into an already full course. Let's backtrack to amonthago­the first week of the semester and recount the multiple stresses and magnitudes of hurdles not only students but staff and faculty bad to endure as the community col­lectively adjusted, or attempted to adjust, to the multitude of campus changes. While a whole summer was set aside to iron out the kinks and loose ends People Soft and e-mail upgrades created, the fall semester approached more quickly than possibly anticipated. The end result? More and more students could not enroll in the courses they needed before the start of the semester. The solution is simple. Offer more classes for the courses that are of high demand. Right? Wrong. Although the prospect of more options when it comes time to schedule planning sounds possi­ble, it will probably and likely do little to eliminate the issue. {(ifilJgl~ Seeing Saw Annual twists and turns BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer killer.

In the first two This fall, mov­movies, and diminishingly iegoers will once in the later flicks, the audi­again have the ence imagines being in the opportunity for victims shoes and wonders disgust by another what they would do. The installment in the killer is actually the victim Saw film series. Since 2004, the Lions Gate film studio produced yearly shocking horror films about a psychopath who challenges people in painful life-or-death 'games'. Critics debate the quality and the societal values challenged by these films, but the most intrigu­ing question concerns the appeal of these movies. One might wonder why people want to see the grotesque images portrayed and the numbing fear in Saw. There are several answers to this question based on who is viewing the movie. First, Saw and Saw II pro­vided an intriguing killer and motive. In classic and traditional horror movies, the killer is often a masked figure killing based on a personal agenda, which is usu­ally revenge. In Saw, the viewer knows the who fails to complete the brutal challenge. This is not the only twisted ele­ment. The mastermind Jigsaw is not out to kill people, but to have them painfully realize the flaws in there life. His justification is questionable, yet unique. Another appealing element is the actually shock and awe of the "games" played. The characters in the film must partake in vicious tasks to save their life. Viewers become numb to the violence and come to see what sickening ways a character will have to sacrifice their body to save their life. Similarly, those who have seen the previous movies might just see the movie only to find out what happens next. The desire to com­plete the story can outweigh out­side factors such as thinning qual­ity and disgust with the gore.

According to Lions Gate stu­dios, 2009 will bring Saw VI, so there seems to be no end in sight for when they will stop milking this battered cow. • ? Chargers' short . n 1n • season looking grim BY BRIAN MANN Pride Staff Writer Upon entering this football season, the San Diego Char­gers looked like one of the best teams in the National Football League. They were coming off an AFC Championship Game appearance, in relatively good health, and loaded with talent. Some nationally respected pub­lications even predicted a trip to the Super Bowl. Now, with two losses in their first two games, things have changed a bit. It's too early to write them off of course, as they still have some things going for them However, they've been hit with the sort of unlucky breaks that they just can't afford ifthey are to make it to the Big Game. At this early juncture, there are three primary factors that have contributed to their dis­appointing start: Poor defense, injuries, and bad luck. 1) Poor defense This is the most concerning as it has the least to do with any poor fortune. Thus far, the Chargers have just been flat-health. 3) Bad Luck How else to explain some of the wacky things that have happened to them? In each of their first two ganies, they have lost by one point. The real kicker is what happened to them against the Denver Broncos. At the beginning ofthe game, the Chargers challenged a call that was unfavorable to them. The referees went to the replay booth to review the ·play and likely correct what appeared to be a bad call, only the replay system wasn't working, thus they could see nothing. They had to stick with the original call. Then, at the end of the game, the Chargers recovered what was an obvious fumble, only to have it called incorrectly, reviewed by the referees, then still not be rewarded with the ball, which, in effect, would have ensured a win. What are the odds of having both of these rare occurrences happen in the same game to the same team? Regardless, the Chargers have not had luck on their side •so far. I will admit that it is extremely early and the season could turn out great for the Chargers. They have quite a few talented players and their schedule looks favorable. Still, many things have to go _ their way for them to fulfill the hype they came into the season with. Will the ball bounce the Chargers' way this season? Only time will tell, but the early returns are not promis­ing. out bad on defense. They have failed to rush the opposing quarterback with any consistency, which in turn has hurt their pass defense, which currently ranks 31st out of 32 teams in the NFL, according to the North County Times. In total defense, they rank 30th out of 32-ouch. Simply put, that is not going to cut it for a team with cham­pionship aspirations. 2) Injuries One of their best players, linebacker Shawne Merri­man, is out for the season due to recent surgery for torn knee ligaments after he initially tried to play through the injury. Veterans Jamal Williams and Clinton Hart are hurt and playing, but their injuries will likely affect them throughout the -season. On offense, the once incred­ibly durable LaDainian Tom­linson has shown either some signs of wear and tear or he, much like the team, has just been unlucky. In any event, a toe sprain incurred in the season's first game put the brakes on him early. This fol­lows up the final game of last ­year, when he injured his knee against the New England Patri­ots in the AFC Championship Game. In addition to Tomlinson, two starting offensive linemen, center Nick Hardwick and left tackle Marcus McNeill, battle surgery recovery and a neck injury, respectively. Also, tight end Antonio Gates, though playing solid, still suffers from a toe injury sustained during the playoffs last season. Clearly, this is a team struggling with their at www.thecsusmpride.com Tuesday, September 30 Campus tour & information session: 10:00 AM ­ 11:30 AM Craven Hall 3701 Priority Christian Challenge group meet: 12:00 PM -01:00 PM University Hall 100 ASI Alternative Spring Break info session: 12:00 PM -01 :00 PM Markstein Hall 102 Hip-hop/African dance: 04:00 PM-05:00 PM Arts Hall 101 Wednesday, October 1 Priority Christian Challenge group meet: 04:30 PM -08:00 PM Craven Hall 3701 ASI club sport practice: 07:00 PM -09:50 PM Clarke 130 Thursday, October 2 Blood drive: 10:00 AM -03:30 PM Campus Way Circle Declining by degrees: 11:30 AM-01:00 PM Craven Hall 3701 Pizza & Politics: 12:00 PM -01 :00 PM Commons206 University outreach meeting: 02:00 PM -04:00 PM Craven Hall 3300D Friday, October 3 Sierra Vista High School group: 09:00 AM ­ 11 :50 AM University Hall 272 Borrego Springs Middle School: 09:00 AM ­ 12:00 PM Academic Hall 102 Asi Men's Intramural Basketball: 12:00 PM ­ 03:00 PM Clarke 130 Monday, October 6 Campus Tour & Information Session: 10:00 AM -11 :30 AM Craven Hall 3701 October 2008 SMTWT F S 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 (Email event submissions to csusmpride@gmail.com ATTN: Calendar ofEvents) High fructose com syrup Truly a sweet surprise?

More specifically, the event plans to focus on the economy's prominence in the election. "Pizza and Politics encour­ages young adults to have healthy discussions about pol­itics," said senior Business major Kyle McClellan. "I think the program is a good idea," added senior Busi­ness major Chris Choi. Pizza and Politics intends to create a sense of community on campus, stimulate a respectful dialogue on important issues of interest to the campus community, promote a diversity of perspec­tives on important issues, increase knowledge about the subject of election issues, and increase civic engagement on campus and with the larger community. "One thing we all need to learn to do is really listen to others, especially those that disagree. We might find that we have more common ground and common inter­ests than we realize," said ADP Director and Professor Pamela Stricker. Prior to events, Stricker asks students to read a selected arti­cle at www.csusm.edu/adp. The article's content presents stu4ents a chance to become aware with the topic slated for discussion. The website also contains more information regarding upcoming events. Students at CSUSM chose upcoming Pizza and Politics subjects last semester. "It is important to note that if we do disagree, we should try to do so 10 the most respectful way possible," said Stricker. From TRIBES, page 1 For years, the California tribes celebrated the fourth Friday of September by renewing their ties to the Earth and keeping alive the ways of their ances­tors. It was in 1998 when the California Legislature passed Assembly Bill No. 1953 (Baca), establishing the day as an offi­cial state holiday. Today, people of all ages celebrate California Native American Day by learn­ing more about the culture, heri­tage and traditions of the Cali­fornia Indian.>> The Dancing Cloud Drum­mers began the ceremony as the sun started to set over Library Plaza on Tuesday, Sep 23. The group performed as part of a series planned last week to cele­brate the California Indian Days. The intertribal group presented along with Pow Wow Comedy Jam, a basket weaving demon­stration, and speeches by Mike Wilden and Teodora Cuero. The lead drummer Steve Mojado of the Luiseno tribe opened the ceremony with a bless­ing of tobacco and the burning of sage. Each ofthe musicians passed the sage around to each other and to the audience before the drum­ming and singing began. The men sat around a large drum stretched with buffalo hide and began to beat in unison. Mojado began the chant with the other singers joining. In between songs the singers answered ques­tions about Native American cer­emonies, drumming, and reli­gion. Ruben Miranda of the Luiseno Tribe, is the second most experi­enced member of the group fol­lowed by Hercules Estrada of the Apache tribe and Jared Manga of the Comanche tribe. "The drum is called The Healer and is in the center of the circle representing the circle of life," Mojado said. The deep beats accompanying the standard rhythm of the song represent the prayers going up. Pictures were placed around the drum ofpeople and objects that are special to the group, "to remember them and give strength." Mojado explained that they "sing a lot of songs for solders and children," and dedicated a song to the kids in the audience about "Mickey, Minnie Mouse and Pluto too." As the kids identified the famil­iar characters smiles spread across their faces and drummer, Hercu­les Estrada remarked, "as long as they are smiling." The songs progressed and Mojado told the students, faculty, and families in attendance a story of the Grass Dances and Ribbon Dances in the American prairies and answered questions about Native culture. From DEBATE, page 1 meeting without preconditions, responded by saying ", When we talk about preconditions ...the idea is that we do not expect to solve every problem before we initiate talks." Senators Obama and McCain sparred throughout the eve­ning, challenging each others records and statements with little restraint. As the night progressed however, it became clear that nei­ther candidate had delivered a decisive blow to the other. Following the debates, much of the media has coalesced on the outcome of the debate as a tie. The two candidates success­fully played to their advantages with Senator Obama garner­ing more support on economic issues and Senator McCain on foreign policy issues. On which candidate "would make the right decisions about Iraq" it was 56% for Senator McCain and 48% for Senator Obama. 66% of viewers thought Senator Obama would "make the right decisions about the economy", 42% said the same about Senator McCain. Despite the press calling the debate a tie, polls indicate that Senator Obama emerged as the winner to viewers and voters. A CNN poll taken immediately after the debates found that 51% of viewers saw Senator Obama winning the debate while 38% thought Senator McCain to be the victor. Similarly, a USA Today/ Gallup poll also found Senator Obama winning 46% to Senator McCain's 34%. CBS conducted a survey on uncommitted voters after the debate and found that 39% thought Obama won the debate, compared to 24% for Senator McCain. Though there is still debate over who was the winner of Fri­day's debate, Senator Obama has strengthened his lead in the national polls. Gallup, Ras­mussen, Los Angeles Times/ Bloomberg, CBS, CNN, and several others report Obama has widened his lead by several points. Senator Joe Biden and Gov­ernor Sarah Palin will meet this coming Thursday, Oct. 2 for the first and only vice-presidential debate of the election. Senators McCain and Obama will meet next in Nashville, TN on Oct. 7 for a town-hall style discussion moderated by Tom Brokaw. M = ... Cl) .Q E Cl) I r Q.

The study abroad program at CSUSM has just added one a new opportunity to its array of inter­national exchange programs. Daegu University (DU) located in South Korea is offering a pro­posal to CSUSM students inter­ested in studying abroad at DU by providing free housing, an oppor­tunity to earn college credit, free tuition for one year, and complete reimbursement of roundtrip air fare, according to the new agree­ment signed by CSUSM Presi­dent Karen S. Haynes and DU President Yong Doo Lee. • DU University and CSUSM have been working together to amplify the study abroad program and encourage more students to consider studying overseas. "CSUSM students are awarded a scholarship that reimburses air • fare, provides free housing, and pays a stipend of $125-$150 per week to those students who participate in the English part­ner internship program," said Jan Stockey, CSUSM's Study Abroad Advisor. "One CSUSM student reported that he actually made enough money to travel and return home with cash in his pocket." "Daegu is a beautiful, green city surrounded by mountains," Stockey said. "It is known as a transportation hub that connects the nation and is about 75 miles from Busan , South Korea 's second largest city." "Everyone should study abroad!" said Aeriel Poorman, a student worker at the Office of Global Education at CSUSM. "CSUSM makes it really easy to study abroad, you don't really have to do a lot, they do it for you." The program is available for either one or two semesters, typi­cally during the fall and spring. All college credit earned while in Korea will be recorded on the CSUSM transcript and can be used to fulfill upper division GE and all graduation requirements. Also paid work experience is available for those who choose to help Korean students practice conversational English. Students interested in studying abroad either in Korea or another country should contact the Office of Global Education located in Craven Hall 3200, make an appointment to meet with the Study Abroad Advisor and com­plete a Study Abroad Credit Approval Form to assure that stu­dents will receive the credit they want for the courses they will take abroad. Students must be in upper divi­sion standing (60 units+), have been attending CSUSM for more than one semester, and have a 2.75 GPA or higher, according to the eligibility requirements for the DU study abroad program. Application deadlines are typi­cally Oct. 1 for the spring semes­ter and April 1 for the fall semes-. ter.

Ask the Sexperts BY CRYSTAL EVANS Pride Staff Writer Student Health & Counseling Services began a new series titled Ask the SEXperts that will be held throughout the school year. Each lecture in the series will address a different topic related to sex and sexuality, from the different contraceptive methods to exploring one's own sexuality to different toys that can be used to enhance sexual activity. ''We want to educate students about their own sexuality," Health Educator Cathy Nguyen said. "We want them to become SEXperts themselves and be more knowl­edgeable about sex." The first lecture in the series was on different contraceptive methods and STD protection for use by both men and women. "I thought it was very useful information," student Salud Meza said. "It helps if you don't have experience with con­traceptives and if you have doubts about what you're doing. They are health educators so we know the information they're giving us is true, it's the facts." The main focus of the lecture was on teaching students the proper way to use contraceptives and bar­riers to keep students from having unwanted pregnancies and also to prevent getting and spreading sexu­ally transmitted infections. "People have been lulled into a false sense of security," Nurse I>ractitioner Kathleen Blattner said. ''Their partner will tell them they've been tested and are clean so they think they won't get anything. The bottom line is condoms, condoms, condoms. A lot ofpatients come in sad and angry that they've gotten an STD but the guy probably doesn't what he has." Blattner said that sexually active students who want to protect them­selves should always use condoms in addition to another form of birth control. As condoms are the most effective way to prevent the spread ofdisease and birth control not 100 percent effective. Even though many people are not taking appro­priate steps to pro­tect themselves and their partners, Blattner said she is encouraged about the chang­ing trends among young people in regards to their UniversityVoice sexual health. "Men and women are so much more responsible about getting tested and being open with their partners," Blattner said All ofthe health experts stressed the fact that each individual needs to take responsibility into their own hands. Students who rely on their partners to practice safe sex and do not actively engage in safe sex prac­tices themselves are putting them­selves at a greater risk for STDs and pregnancy. The next Ask the SEXperts lec­ture will be on sexuality and will focus on the different issues that face not only straight but gay, les­bian and transgender couples. The lecture will be held from noon-1 p.m. Oct. 21 in University Hall 337. . What other degree programs or classes would you like offered at CSUSM! "I wish we had Industrial Organizational Psychology.

Though notorious for having a vast sea of Mexican restaurants, Lourdes in Escondido stands well above the average Alberto's taco shop. Lourdes, Located between Escondido Blvd and 'J1h Avenue, serves the "Best Chicken Soup in Town," as their slogan says. Lourdes serves burritos, carni­tas, and yes, the very best chicken soup in town. Lourdes is a family operated restaurant and that family feel definitely transcends into their food. Lourdes's chicken soup can be described as a comfort food. Served with sliced avocado, tender chicken and your choice of corn or flour tortillas, the soup is an excellent meal that tastes home made. Just like watching the Price is Right in the morning when you're sick, Lourdes chicken soup is a perfect comfort food to help you feel better. Jolly Rodger Amber Ale BY JONATHAN E. because of the closer THOMPSON location. Pride Staff Writer The brothers utilize a self-constructed mash and Brothers Adrian, lautertun all grain system a Senior Business that cost under $1,000. Major at CSUSM, The system produces up and Brandon Siem­to 5 gallons per batch, or inski brew and 26 bottles containing 22 bottle homemade crafted Jolly Rodger Amber Ale out of their home in San Marcos, California. Both brothers consider them­selves beer enthusiasts. After a recent trip to Europe, they decided to try the art of home brewing. They also credit the local brew­ing scene in San Diego as another influence. With only five months of oper­ating out of their home, the two have produced many batches including Jolly Rodger. They plan to produce more batches and work on the art ofcraft brewing. Ifpos­sible, they would eventually like to expand their home setup to sell to the public, as many breweries have done in the past. The adventure began with a visit to Greg Koch, chairman and CEO of Stone Brewing Company located in Escondido, California. He referred them to Home Brew Mart in San Diego, California. The company's website www. homebrewmart.com offers infor­mation and products for home brewers. Recently, the brothers began buying their supplies from Hydro Brew in Oceanside, California fluid ounces of brew. The process takes about 3 weeks. The raw materials required to produce each batch, from ingre­dients to bottles, runs about $30. $30 might buy five bottles ofbeer at a retail store such as BevMo.

BYADAMLOWE Pride Staff Writer Local OC band, Hollowell, who has toured the world, includ­ing three tours overseas for our troops, was given the chance to play an industry showcase in Nashville, Tennessee and lucky me, I was brought along for the ride. Some of the events that occurred were crazy, some mellow, but most were hilari­ously memorable. We began on Friday, the 12th in the afternoon. Consequently, this was around the same time as the tragic Metrolink collision. Allow me to offer my sym­pathy to anyone with family or friends involved in that horrible accident. So as we worked between packing the van and watching the news, we realized it was time to head out. We were finally on the road by 6pm, and were pretty excited for the events to soon unfold, but not about being in that van for 4,000+ miles. What gave us the necessary encouragement, however, was the idea of country-wide fans cheer­ing the band on. So into the night we drove. We pulled into Amarillo, Texas in the early afternoon on Satur­day. As we ate lunch, we asked the waitress if any bars in the area had live music. Iris told us of a few places; so after lunch, we set out to find a show to play. One bar had promise, but fell through. Finally, we drove up to Hoots Pub and saw a band unloading their gear, and decided to give it a shot. "Hey! You guys interested in an opener?" Joe offered. With­out asking what kind of music, or to hear the music, the Tommy Gallagher Band, the big cheese in town, welcomed us, and were stoked to have us play. Hollowell took the stage and completely rocked. In such a country-music oriented town, for a rock band from OC to come and tear up the stage with original music and phenomenal covers, it was amazing, and the crowd response was inspiring. After finishing their set, the owner of the bar, along with at least ten other individuals from around town, invited Hollow­ell back for a tour of the bars and clubs in the area. Hollow­ell rocked Hoots Pub, got paid ­which was unexpected but appre­ciated -packed up the gear and headed back out on the road to Nashville. We stopped in Memphis for lunch on Sunday. The sights are amazing, the people are kind, and The menu is full of tradi­tional Mexican meals, taquitos, soft tacos, came asada burritos, and quesadillas. Though they all seem quite ordinary, these meals are uniquely made with hints oftrue Mexican flavors. Ingredients such as crispy tortillas, freshly made salsa and hints of lime flavoring all add to the unique recipes that Lourdes uses to create great, authentic Mexican food. Lourdes's appeal as a restau­rant doesn't come from a fancy menu or fancy decor inside, it has become famous through its reputation of good food. Del Taco, La Salsa, nor Santana's can compete with the authenticity of Lourdes. Lourdes isn't a chain restau­rant, you won't find one any­where except Escondido. Lourdes has charm and char­acter that other Mexican res­taurants cannot reproduce. So, if you are looking for some friendly authentic Mexi­can grub, you can find it at Lourdes. the entire atmosphere is intoxi­cating. After lunch, we walked around town for a little bit, saw a live band playing, which was truly awesome, in the original sense of the word. We were going to visit Graceland and be tourists for a bit, but I guess it's closed on Sunday evenings. We enjoyed the city, nonethe­less, and then traveled on. We drove into the downtown district of Nashville around 6pm that night. Before deciding to find a cheap hotel to actually sleep for the night, we drove around, look­ing for the place we'd be going the next morning for the show­case, RocketTown, a cool little club in the heart of the city. The next morning, after some much needed sleep, we headed over to RocketTown. We heard a bunch of bands that were less than pleasing; some who were decent. Their time came to play and Hollowell opened with "Naked," the first track off their EP, Are You Waiting?, followed by the ever melodic tune, "Emily," and they closed the showcase with the most excellent revamped version of their monster ballad, "Safe." They brought down the house with these three songs. But in the opinion of the three representa­tives at the showcase, there were things they could work on as a band. So with their polite criti­cism, we decided to grab some genuine Tennessee BBQ before heading back on the road. The long drive home was shorter than the initial drive, and we made it back by Tuesday night -a quick 2,000 miles if you ask me. Looking back, there are amaz­ing things we all learned. We made amazing contacts in Texas and are planning another tour there very soon. We met very talented musicians from all over the country. Most importantly, though, Photo by Adam Lowe and Hollowell we learned that no matter what, it's important to hold on to your dreams. Whether people love or hate you, ifyou keep your dreams close, you will one day reach out and grab them.

THE PRIDE BY PRISCILLA GEORGE Pride Staff Writer "Someone is always watching you. Someone can control your surroundings and manipulate you." These concepts were first seen in George Orwell's book 1984, and are now the basis for the movie Eagle Eye, which is directed by D.J Caruso and produced by Steven Spielberg. Jerry Shaw (Shia LaBeouf) and Rachel Holloman (Michelle Monaghan) are just two ordinary citizens who are suddenly "activated", framed as terrorists, and quickly become the top two on the nations' most wanted list. With an unknown caller dictating their every move, the two are forced to protect their lives and family by performing dangerous acts without questions. Precise timing and complete obedience are key to their survival. The penalty, death. Disobeying is tough and near impossible, especially since their surroundings are eerily manipulated to control their actions and suit the caller's particular needs. No matter where they go or what they do, Shaw and Holloman can not escape the callous, cryptic caller. In this race against all odds Images retreivedfrom Dreamworks Pictures Live Free or Die Hard. Other than one small scene that has some off-color language near the beginning, the rest is pretty clean, action packed and fast paced. This action thriller is full of nail-biting, "on the edge of your seat" thrills and suspense. In addition, it is comprised of spectacular visual effects, hand to hand combat and, of course, tons of car crashes and fiery explosions. The characters, a secluded slacker and a struggling single mom, are very real and brilliantly portrayed. If you love action, suspense and thrills, I totally recommend this movie. I really enjoyed it. Eagle Eye is rated PG-13 by the MP AA, has a running time of 118 minutes, and came out in theaters last Friday, September 26th.

(Pride Photo/Conor Mongan) Campus Computers Upgraded By JAMES NEWELL Staff Writer To keep up with current trends in technology and student needs, the university replaces or upgrades antiquated computer equipment each year. This year a total of204 student computers were upgraded, and 30 new units were added for students, bringing the total number of student computers to 439. This year's upgrade consisted of Dell flat screens and Dell and Macintosh CPUs (central processing units). Not all units were replaced in the openaccess labs in Academic Hall 202 and 204, but all the monitors have been upgraded to the flat screens. In addition to taking up less space, the flat monitors are more energy efficient. Bill Ward, Director of. Telecommunications and Network Operations said, "Although the monitors were more expensive, they will pay for themselves over time." The university has instituted the computer refresh program, which is a three-year computer upgrade schedule. Costing around $1.2 million per year, the refresh program upgrades or replaces approximately one-third of the computers in the program yearly. This number varies from year to year, but all the computers in the program receive an upgrade every three years. There are currently 1,115 units in rotation, including faculty, staff and student computers, according to Ward. "I think any improvement is good," said Andrew Watkins, a junior and computer science major. "If we're going to learn what it takes to work, in the outside world, we're going to need the equipment used in the outside world." The replaced equipment, although considered out of date by the university, is still operational and can be used by other schools. A majority of the old computers are donated to local K-12 public schools. At one time, a dozen units made it as far as Africa, said Ward. �The Pride 2 Tuesday, September 4, 2001 Student By AMY GRANITE Pride Staff Writer During the spring semester, CSUSM was introduced to the ''phantom shopper" program. The "phantoms" were undercover students who visited various campus departments, unannounced, in order to rate them on several criteria based on a point system. This fall, many more students will have the opportunity to participate. "The overall intention of the program is to, number one, have the students become effective evaluators of the campuses' programs and services, and number two, to assist departments in providing seamless, consistent and good service to the students," said Dean of Students Jonathan Poullard. The "phantom shoppers" are Phantoms sent into a department, or instructed to phone a particular department, with a script put together by the students during the training process. The script serves as a guideline for students to follow when making visits or phone calls. The departments are evaluated on criteria such as physical environment, quality of interpersonal contact, pertinent knowledge of the staff, timeliness in addressing questions/ concerns, usefulness of referrals/ resources and overall department experience. The"" founding co-directors of the program, Dean Poullard, and Assistant Executive Director of ASI, Susana Gonzalez, are confident that the program criteria and findings will improve department/Student interaction. The findings will be printed in an annual report that will Editing Services Haunt provide accurate details of how each department functions. After each visit or phone call, the phantom shopper summarizes the visit and submits the information to be printed in the report. For example, a student might visit Parking Services with a script designed for a student who appeals a parking ticket. After the student makes the visit, he/she evaluates the department based on the overall experience. The students and departments are made aware that the purpose of the program is not to get anyone in "trouble " but rather to assess the school's strengths and weaknesses in regards to service standards.

J �Travel The Pride Tuesday, September 4, 2001 3 Student Vacation Revisited: King Pacals Secret Editors' Note: This is the second in a series of travel articles from a CSUSM student. By VLADISLAV CELIK As we were about to enter the archaeological site at Palenque, I remembered a book by a selftaught Swiss archaeologist, Erich von Daeniken. von Daeniken, well known for his hypothesis that the human race had originated from outer space, traveled to many parts of the world and gathered information about ancient civilizations to try to support his theory. One of the sites he visited was Palenque. He observed the carved images on stone plaques and concluded that they depicted astronauts in space ships. So there I was entering Palenque, feeling extremely privileged and excited. Palenque is somewhat different from most other Mayan cities because of its distance from other major crossroads of the region. The city remained undiscovered by many European settlers until the 20 century. In the 1920s, however, Danish explorer and archaeologist Frans Blom conducted excavations in the state of Chiapas and found an ancient Mayan city, buried under layers of mud and vegetation. He named it after a nearby village, Palenque. The first settlements in Palenque date back to 100 B.C.,but the city reached its cultural and economic peak between 600 and 700 A.D., during the 70-year rule of King Pacal. It had been the administrative center for the regions of the present day Chiapas and Tabasco. After Pacal died, the inhabitants abandoned the city in 800 A.D., and it was lost to the jungle until the 1920s. In 1952, Mexican archaeologist Alberto Ruz was researching the th tallest pyramid, the "Temple of the Inscriptions " There, at the top of the pyramid, he discovered an entrance to a tunnel well hidden in the floor of the temple. The tunnel led to the crypt in the pyramid's interior, in which the remains of King Pacal rested in a stone sarcophagus, decorated with relief carvings and jade relics. I held my flashlight tightly in my hand, determined to explore the pyramid with or without a guide. I had already decided in my foolish mind that, in case my undertaking was not approved by the site's authorities, I would go there anyway at some time when nobody was around. Access to the secret crypt became so important to me; it was as if I was going to find the answers to the mysteries of the world. As I slowly approached the tallest pyramid, the "Temple of the Inscriptions," I noticed a large number of tourists all around it. I climbed up the stairs, which were steep and numerous, and had to go around tourists who were wandering and taking photos. In a way I was disappointed because the crowd took away much of the excitement - I had expected to be there alone. But there was also a good side to having many tourists around. At least I did not have to worry about being taken by the armed Zapatista rebels or attacked by the beasts from the jungle. Plus, being in a crowd of tourists would not have put my explorations into the spotlight, where I might have been exposed to the scrutiny of the site's* authorities. At the top of the pyramid was a temple made of stone. Its thick walls were decorated with plaques on the exterior. The plaques were carved with Calendar Workshops Wednesday, Sept. 5 Since we were planning to come back to the site again early the next day, we wanted to spend the night as close to the ruins as possible. Luckily, there was a campsite about a quarter of a mile down the road. We assembled our tent, which was surrounded by coconut'palms and banana trees. There were several huts around with thatched roofs for the tourists who preferred to sleep in their hammocks. I felt that the jungle around might harbor snakes and that zipping up the tent was safer than | sleeping in a hammock. The night was starry and quiet at first, but we were awakened by eerie sounds coming from the jungle. The growling was constant and loud.

Commencement 2002 will take place at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. While we applaud the university's efforts in reconsidering its decision to make Palomar College the site for graduation (after many student and faculty complaints), we, like many other graduating seniors at Cal State San Marcos, are disappointed that we will be unable to graduate on campus. At the ASI Executive Board of Director's meeting on Friday, Aug. 1, students were told that the opportunity for commencement at the university was "completely gone," according to Vice President of Student Affairs, Francine Martinez. Although the university has already made its decision, we want to speak out and let the university know how its decision will affect students. Dr. Martinez said she sympathized with the frustrated students present at the meeting and said that if a student poll were taken, she would bet that 100 percent of students would say they wanted graduation on campus. We also feel that most seniors will be upset with the university's decision.

Check out our student poll online at: The Pride 1 v the U.S. economy (to put it bluntly) bites at the moment, particularly the computer industry. Fact number two, flat panels are more expensive than traditional computer monitors; a typical 17-inch monitor can be found for about $200, a typical 17-inch flat panel costs $1,500 (source, www.dell.com). Fact number three, the monitors in the main computer lab and library were replaced with flat panels. It may be tempting to view the extra $1,200 spent on each flat panel as a waste of our tuition. I believe however that during this time of economic slowdown, we must thank our administrators for their economic leadership, and their efforts to spend every penny they can get their hands on. As an employee in the particularly slow telecommunication industry, I find this leadership particularly exciting. If we could get public schools everywhere to follow in CSUSM's footsteps, the economic stimulus should get the manufacturing and computer industries rolling again, and give the economy a much needed jump start. Furthermore, as anyone involved with government budgets knows, a penny saved is a penny cut from next year's budget. Therefore, again I must thank our fearless leaders at CSUSM for keeping the spending up, so that there will be plenty of money in the budget for next year. I cannot wait to see what our leaders at CSUSM can come up with next.

The new version of Netscape Navigator (Version 6) (http://www.netscape.com) has many new features; such as Mail, Web Editor, Browser, Multimedia, and Newsgroups. Generally speaking, Netscape is a powerhouse of a program. Academic Computing Services considered the new version of Netscape Navigator but had to yield to WebMail. Timing and simplicity were major factors for choosing WebMail.

There are a few too many of these diner scenes and they soon become redundant. There is less substance in the stories being told than there is the incessant attempt to squeeze in as many different references about having sex as possible. Whipped is a comedic film about sex and relationships. It takes a look into the lives of three ex-college roommates and best friends who are still commitment-shy but always ready to swap stories about their latest conquests. There is Zeke, the self-proclaimed "East Coast Enigma," who believes his appeal comes from projecting a certain mystery that simply leaves the ladies wanting more. Into the picture enters Mia (played by Amanda Peet), coincidentally, the object of all their desires. All three guys fall in love with her and the token boy brawling ensues. Mia has the men whipped, so to speak, as they swallow their bachelor mindsets. Brad is a jocular, selfobsessed, "Wall Street guy" who, when he stops "closing deals" at work, is still "closing deals" in other regards. Jonathan doesn't possess the same prowess as the other two, but his libido is just as high. His outlet, though, is more of the self-gratifying sort. His stories involve imaginary girls with names similar to body lotion brands—like Nivea, Lubriderma, or Vaselina. Whipped stars from left to right: Judah Domke (Eric), Zorie Barber (Zeke), Amanda Peet (Mia), and Brian Van Holt (Brad) Photos courtesy ofInternet Movie Database at www.imdb.com The Bastard Sons of Johnny Gash and Eve Selis Thoughts on... Niarse Throughout the film, all the talk about "stuffing, railing, sacking," hot chicks was over done and not one clever line was ever uttered. Any laughs to be had came from tried and true raunch and bathroom humor. This prevented Whipped from being viewed anywhere beyond a shallow point. Whipped is rated R and is now playing.

I never noticed the small paintings on the wall. t The California Center for the Arts, Escondido presents 20 Southern Californian artists in an exhibit titled "The Next Wave." The featured artists live and work within the coastal communities of Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and San Diego.

Nice concept, I guess. But I was busy trying to get classes, my permit-not because I didn't appreciate it." (Geoffrey Gordon) "Yes it did. The different clubs the campus offers, I was interested in the German Club, M.E.C.h.a., and the International Club." (Maria Jose) Another local artist I found interesting was Linda Besemer and her brightly colored, abstract works that defy the traditional framed oil on canvas. Besemer's technique involves working backwards from the surface of sheets of plexiglas using acrylic strips. As she takes away the layers, Besemer is left with an amazing array of colors and shine. Her art gently folds over aluminum rods hung from the wall shining with spectacular colors of blues, reds, yellows and pinks. Hundreds of colors perfectly aligned with the panes and hairs of the glass. p As I continued through the rooms, I came upon a display by Judi Russell, a Los Angeles-based photographer. Russell's specially-commissioned portraits of each artist and brief statements about their work allowed me to understand their intensions and perspectives. "The Next Wave" runs through September 10 and admission is $3.00 for CSUSM students. — Academic Bulletin — W ould y ou like to nominate a professor for the H arry Brakebill Distinguished P rofessor A ward?

Against the Raiders' Raiders. How can a fan not RETIREMENT INSURANCE MUTUAL FUNDS TRUST SERVICES TUITION FINANCING be excited? Here is how: Leaf proved he has not changed much since his debut season in the Chargers' opener against the hated Oakland Raiders on Sunday. Leaf is on pace to break his lofty personal record of 15 interceptions in 9 games after he threw 3 passes to the Raiders on Sunday. He also managed to complete only 17 of 39 passes for a meager 180 yards. Although he threw only three interceptions during the preseason, Leaf did not look good. He missed badly when he missed and he fumbled too often. Ryan Leaf had a dreadful rookie year in 1998 when he threw 15 interceptions and only 2 touchdowns. When he was finally benched in game 9, he had a league-worst 39.0-passer rating. The numbers would not be so bad for a rookie quarterback drafted in the late rounds. Leaf, however, is a third-year player (sort of) drafted number 2 in the draft before the 1998 season. Moses Moreno, the hometown favorite, would be a much better choice. He has an incredible arm that looked good in the preseason, and the fans love him, as he graduated from high school in San Diego. Why is TIAA-CREF the #1 choice nationwide? The HAA-CREF Advantage.

ASI is a student run auxiliary which acts as the voice of the student body. As the students' advocate, ASI creates opportunities for student engagement such as concerts, festivals, intramural sports and other activities that students request for their enjoyment and betterment. Currently, there are five competitive club sport programs which include men and women's soccer, volleyball and two co-ed surf teams, but there are many more recreational activities offered to students; such as skiing and snowboarding, kayaking trips, paintASI, SEE page 2 To avoid registration holds, new CSUSM students born after Jan. 1,1957 have one semester to demonstrate proof of immunization for Measles and Rubella. The student should submit medical documentation proving immunization. Documentation can include a physician's verification of immunizations records or a copy of a laboratory blood test proving immunity to Measles and Rubella. Immunization must have taken place after Jan. 1, 1968 or after the student's first birthday. First time students who are 18 or younger on Aug. 1 of their entering academic year must also present proof of full immunization, against Hepatitis B. For those who cannot provide proof of immunization for Measles and Rubella and/ or Hepatitis B, an appointment can be made with Student Health and Counseling Services to receive the MMR vaccination free of charge. The vaccination for Hepatitis B, on the other hand, involves a small fee. Walk-in clinic dates for MMR and Hepatitis B are Aug. 28 through Sept. 1, Monday through Friday; Sept. 5 through 8, Tuesday through Friday; Sept. 18 through 22, Monday through Friday; Oct. 2 through 6, Monday through Friday; and Oct. 16 through 20, Monday through Friday. Times are 9 a.m. to 11 a m. and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. for all dates. An appointment may also be made for an MMR titer blood test to check immunity levels for Measles and Rubella. Students are advised to have a student identification card handy when visiting. Student Health and Counseling Services also requests that childcare arrangements be made prior to the student's visit. Fees can be settled using cash, check, ATM, Visa or Master card.

On the first day of school, Kyle spent eight hours of his twelve hour shift directing traffic. Campus police officers will direct the traffic in pairs of two until Kyle said, "as long as traffic maintains a public safety issue." Traffic doesn't look like it will let up any time soon, especially with an increased amount of students leaving campus during university hour. Our campus isn't equipped with tunnels and bridges, and with the volume of people driving out of parking lot F each afternoon and walking to their cars, Kyle says he doesn't see an end to the officer directed crosswalk until new technology is built. "If we had a traffic light or a bridge, we'd get a chance to reduce our staffing." Currently we have ten CSOs working on campus. The university police department hopes to gain at least four more students. Matt Curran and Evelyn Henriquez are two student CSOs who were on patrol in their vehicle on Friday afternoon. Curran, a CSO supervisor, also works in the University Village Apartments. In the past he has found a lost child and has interfered when two people attempted to break into a car on campus. He and.other CSOs are willing and ready anytime to escort students on and around campus. "Many people don't know about it but we can escort them from the main campus to the Ralph's shopping center and Barham Apartments." Henriquez is a criminal justice major who has just finished her training. As student enrollment increases, the CSOs increase their squad by one officer each year. Our university has an impeccable safety record and a lot of credit can be given to our student officers. Kyle says, "They play a crucial role in our policing." CSO shifts are from eight in the morning to midnight. After midnight, campus police patrol the campus. And without a bridge, tunnel or stoplight, we'll be seeing a lot of them on campus during yet another transitional time.

Joshua Walter Lovelace, a graduate student in math, was completely inspired by Dr. Radhika Ramamurthi after taking her Algebra Graph Theory course. Through her energetic and passionate character, Lovelace could see from the beginning that she was concerned about student's learning. Even as a math major, Lovelace says, "I went into it feeling as if it were impossible. She helped me believe in myself, that I could do this." Pamela Castillo, a literature major, couldn't just choose one. "I've been fortunate enough to have several professors that stand out, including Professor Price, Professor Newman, and Dr. Yuan Yuan. The faculty mentor program stands out the most for me. Lisa Bandong has been a wonderful friend and inspiration along with my mentor, Dr. Salah Moukhlis." Jesse Taylor, a computer science major, has seen students give up while taking introductory courses in computer programming. "Either the professor didn't know how to teach or they just weren't enthusiastic about it." Professor Ahmad THE PRIDE Hadaegh changed Taylor's outlook for good. "Not only is he knowledgeable in what he teaches, but he makes it fun and interesting. And he's hilarious. He reassured me that programming is what I want to do with my life." Brittany Smith was doubtful whether she was going to become an accounting major until she had Dr. Mary Ceim for financial and managerial accounting. Brittany says, "She was the most challenging professor I've ever had and that motivated me to meet that challenge." Smith spent the summer working for Sempra Energy through an internship and is happy about her career choice. With so many obstacles and doubts a college student can face day to day, we are fortunate to have a supporting staff to help ease any worries or concerns, or even to say "you can do this" without having to say it at all.

From the NFC North expect the Chicago Bears to take the division for a second straight year. The NFC South will be won by the Carolina Panthers and the NFC West will go to the Seattle Seahawks. The two Wild Card spots will be taken by the Dallas Cowboys and the Arizona Cardinals. The thing everyone wants to know is who will play in the super bowl. Here's a match-up for you to take to Vegas. The Dolphins and Panthers will be playing in the big game. The Panthers are without a doubt the favorite from the NFC. The Jake Delhomme to Steve Smith combination is amazing. DeShaun Foster finally gets the starting running back job. Even if Foster isn't healthy throughout the season they drafted exceptionally well by grabbing DeAngelo Williams and have another great backup in Nick Goings. They also Eli Manning and the New York Giants face Peyton Manning and the Colts. I don't know if brothers have ever faced one another at quarterback in the NFL, but this should be interesting. The Thanksgiving Day games will actually be some good ones for the first time in a long while. The Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos play in one game, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Dallas Cowboys play in another and in the stinker of the three the Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions play. As far as playoff teams, the following are my picks. From the AFC East the Dolphins will win the division. In the AFC North the Bengals will take it. The AFC South will go to the Colts and the AFC West will be won by the Chiefs. The two AFC Wild Card » spots will go to the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Diego Chargers.

Not to mention, Julius Peppers is a beast on the defensive side. The Dolphins is probably a pick that will raise some eyebrows, but hear me out on this one. The Dolphins got Daunte Culpepper in the off-season. They already have a top deep threat wide receiver in Chris Chambers. Culpepper can throw a great deep ball as evidenced by his relationship with Randy Moss. They also have a top running back in Ronnie Brown to balance the offense. The 'Fins won six in a row to end last season to finish 97.1 expect that trend to continue into this season. They also only have six games against playoff teams from last season.

The memorial will be held at the University of San Diego. Igasaki passed away on the night of Aug. 10, 2005, in San Diego County. Igasaki is survived by his wife Cahterinie Bellier-Igasaki and his two children. Igasaki first came to Cal State San Marcos in 1996; when he transferred here from CSU Long Beach. Igasaki began as a technician in the Language Lab, but worked very hard and became the director of the Language Learning Center and campus foreign language proficiency assessor. According to a recent campuswide email from the Communications Office, Patricica E. Worden, interim vice president of Student Affairs said: "Kevin was a true leader on campus. ... To faculty, staff and administrators, Kevin was a highly respected colleague. He was an innovative thinker; considered a valuable member on campus committees because of his ability to see the 'big picture.'"

According to the CNN website on Saturday Sept. 3, 2005, there were, "30,000 evacuees who have been stranded there for days amid mounds of trash and human waste." Since the hurricane hit thè Gulf Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride Coast, refugees need food, water and shelter, and Cougars can help. "Members of ASI have been spending See KATRINA, page 2 "Survivor" helps colleges students uplifting message BY TRACEY TURNER Pride Staff Writer Chad Crittenden As a former "Survivor" contestant, Chad Crittenden knows what it takes to survive in isolation within a small group. As a cancer survivor and an amputee, he knows how to survive life. More info on the Katrina fundraising efforts PAGE 2 Crittenden was on campus Sept. 1 as part of College Survivor Night at the Clarke Field House. In his speech titled "Discover the Will to Survive," Crittenden shared lessons learned from overcoming obstacles in his life. A crowd of approximately 40 people gathered as Crittenden drew parallels between surviving college and surviving the CBS reality show. In both instances one is often away from home, missing his or her family and not eating well, but there are also many friends to be made, he said. "I made some really good friends when I was there on the islands," Crittenden said, adding that at college there are daily challenges to be faced, whether it is a "reward challenge" or waking up to an alarm early and getting a good parking spot. The California native was born on Camp Pendleton, but grew up in Half Moon Bay in Northern California. He attended community college full time for three years while working almost full time. He later transferred to UC Davis, where he majored. in international relations with a minor in Spanish.

After getting his teaching credential, he taught bilingual third grade classes in San Jose. In the summer after his seventh year of teaching, Crittenden discovered a lump on the bottom of his foot, but thought that it was just a cyst. After a while, he got it checked by doctors who diagnosed the lump as a malignant tumor from a rare type of cancer known as synovial sarcoma.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer The New, New Library. To the uninitiated or unobservant student, this may come as a shock: The library is new. Again. Originallyfinishedin Jan. 2004, the Kellogg Library replaced facilities occupying only a portion of Craven Hall. But in addition to providing more computers to initially kill time and subsequently save the last minute, Kellogg Library has recently extended its hours. This came as a result of student and faculty input, so don't hesitate to share your comments and concerns with the staff. Melanie Chu, Outreach/Multicultural Librarian, even took the time to talk with Pride about other helpful additions fo the Library.

The desk, to the right of the main doors of the third (Starbucks) floor, is hard to miss, but even closer to this entrance is something maybe too close under an inkless nose to be noticed.

Although it's become a cliché expression, this question contains a lot of truth when it comes to the idea of being optimistic - an idea that can be successfully put into practice with the start of anew semester at CSUSM. As a recovering pessimist, I know what it is to doubt everything; and even enjoy doing it, but optimism holds so much more success for those who master it. Just look at the famous athletes who have used their optimism to help them excel. Where would Lance Armstrong be if he hadn't been optimistic and fought his way back from lifethreatening cancer to win multiple consecutive Tour-De-France titles? Here at CSUSM, there are numerous ways you can turn a pessimistic perspective into an optimistic one and have similar success in your life - albeit on a much smaller scale. To some people optimism obviously comes easily (the type of people you either love or hate) yet for the rest of us being optimistic takes a little practice. Simply be patient, take time doing your daily tasks so you can stand back and look at the positive side of things and thus work toward them. For example, instead of complaining about having to climb the million plus steps at San Marcos between classes, think about all the exercise you'll get wandering across CSUSM in the late summer sun. When stuck in a class you don't like and didn't want to take, instead of being a pessimist about it, be optimistic about the class and watch your interest and success surrounding the class grow. Simply looking at things in a different perspective can make all the difference in the world: don't every let yourself believe that you are going to fail, instead believe that nothing can stop you from meeting your goals and succeeding. Start your new semester at CSUSM as an optimist instead of a pessimist and watch success follow you wherever you go. Arguing for pessimism is like arguing for infidelity or gluttony or indecent exposure. The alternatives of each seem so much more respectable that society fails to consider the allure of deviating from what is considered 'good' behavior. Pessimism is just another defense mechanism. Some people drown a bad day with alcohol; Some go to movies to watch other people live life instead of living their own. The pessimist simply expects every day to be bad, making the bad easier to bear when it comes. It is easier to deal with death if the deceased is ill for a long time beforehand. It's easier because the death is expected. Pessimism is like an illness. It prepares you for the worst possible scenario. The pessimist is not taken aback by tragedy. Rather, he waits for it with calm certainty because it is inevitable. When a healthy person is suddenly flattened by a car while crossing the street, enjoying nature, the death is much harder to deal with. It is harder because the tragedy is unexpected. Optimism is like health. You feel well so you forget it is a transient feeling. Then when something unfortunate happens, it is horribly shocking. Schopenhauer said if we compared the pleasure felt by one animal eating another to the pain felt by the animal being eaten, we would see that pain completely outweighed pleasure in life. He used this analogy to defend pessimism as most logical. Hemingway was a pessimist. He tried to end his life many times, one of which involved an attempt to run into cycling jet propellers. Sylvia Plath felt life wasn't worth waking up for and stuck her head into an oven. Virginia Woolf piled rocks into her pocket and drowned herself in a lake, deciding no experiences in life were as exciting as the experience of death. The trend is that hopelessly depressed attitudes breed great literature. Without the author's dreary outlook, a lot of books would * not have achieved their depth and success. Of course, cheery, positive attitudes breed literature'too. They breed Doctor Phil's advice books and teenage magazines. If false hope and shallow happiness are what you want, then hurray for optimism. We are told it is best to see the glass as half full. But when it's viewed as half empty, it seems there is less to knock over and spill on your crotch. Nihilism protects you from disappointment. Idealism sets you up for it.

Keep in touch, j because a student newspaper without student readership is just a class. E ditorial f rom the e ditor-in-chief The past week has proven tougher than the first. With classes started, I found myself compoundedwithbothhomework and these new editor responsibilities. I do not know how the previous editors did it. Looking back at the first issue, I realize many mistakes. I will let you spot them if you still have a copy rather than embar- rass myself with the long detailed list, and I am working on fixing repetitive mistake for the future (tip's). I will still count on readers to bring forth problems, ideas or concerns they may have, not only about the newspaper but also of the school. I was looking forward to posting letters to the editor in the paper this week, alas I received none. I have heard many verbal remarks made about the first issue, mostly good. Many cougars where surprised to find out that we put out an issue on the first week and congratulated us on a job well done, still no letters. I heard one remark about the staff being Gestapo, but that person still did not write it down for us to print. The great usefulness of letters to the editor is the impact it has on the writers and content of the paper. Granted we have had suggestions that we do not follow MLA, we follow AP. Another concern was our lack of covering off campus news stories. We try not to compete with the large newspapers, even though they now have stands here on campus. Our goal is to write about this campus. Stories will contain elements that link it back to Cal State San Marcos. With this open request hotline, students, staff and faculty can give their input to the building of this great media. Patrick B. Long pride@csusm.edu Entertaiment in the Clarke Fieldhouse BY JASON HOBBS Pride Staff Writer It was recently said to me that there were no places on Cal State San Marcos' campus to host a small concert or a boxing match within closed walls. After a little investigation I found several adequate venues for both small concerts and for boxing matches. The Clarke Field House for instance would be fine to host a series of small concerts featuring unsigned and/or local musicians. It may even fit a boxing match. The new study center at the top of the library would fit both a boxing match and a small concert as well. I don't know that that would be allowed, but it's a possibility. After visiting Casino Night at two different times (6:30pm and 8:15pm), I became concerned that our student body was not interested in the events the campus has to offer. Although I did not attend the entire Casino Night event, the two times I dropped by, I saw the same amount of people at the game tables; what seemed to be about 25 people (not including the dealers or the volunteers). Perhaps instead of assuming what the student body wants or needs as far as fun and entertainment on campus, there should be a vote determined by a simple majority rule for a variety of events ASI organizes. Perhaps then there would be bigger crowds than the approximate 25 people that showed up to Casino Night and the approximate 40 people that showed up to "College Survivor Night" where a celebrity from one of the most popular television shows of all time was speaking. There could be a variety of reasons why the first two events of the semester weren't very popular. One may be that the ASI Calendar of Events hand-out listed Casino Night beginning at 6pm and another schedule of events posted by the ASI offices listed the event time as beginning at 8pm. It's quite possible that newer students like myself, did not know the difference (if any) between the Grand Salon and the Clarke Field House either. Casino Night took place at the Clarke Field House but again there was a difference between the big orange calendar of events posted by the ASI offices and the small yellow hand-outs. One read that Casino Night would take place at the Grand Salon and the other read that Casino Night would take place at the Clarke Field House. Unfortunately of the two potential venues for the night, only the Clarke Field House is listed on the big maps found throughout campus. Perhaps not all of the students will enjoy live concerts on Friday or Saturday nights. Perhaps not all students will enjoy a live boxing event on campus either. But so far it seems that only about 70 students have enjoyed (or at least attended) the first two campus events of the semester, and with that short track record it might be worthwhile to the students to try some new ideas before it's too late.

Top f ive back to school must haves BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer It's that time of year again; time to pack up all your stuff and head back to school. Unfortunately summer is ending, fortunately for us; the season to by back to school gear never ends. This is it, the top 5 list of must haves for the new school year. 1. ¡Book - Apples new line of personal notebooks. The New iBook is stronger, faster, and more capable than ever. With built in wireless Internet, and Bluetooth technology, these notebooks can pack a wallop in or outside of the classroom. Read along with the class as you look up the teacher's notes online wirelessly, or just kick back and work with many of the functions available on one of the best consumer laptops around. Either way, there will be no regrets with the purchase of this machine. 2. Cougar Cards - Ever found yourself strapped for cash, but in dire need of a quick snack, scantron, or some lunch in between classes? If so, grab a Cougar Card, you can purchase them anywhere and save them for whenever they are needed. They are usable in the dome, and other various places around campus. Just select the amount of money you want on the card, and they will do it for you. The Cougar Card is a gift card for students, not exactly the gift that keeps on giving, but it does its job well. 3. iPod - This already popular Mp3 player is a great way to kick back and listen to your favorite tunes in between classes, or just waltzing around the dorm room. With a size of 20 or 60 gigabytes it is the perfect addition for the somewhat musically challenged and all the way up to the maestro of music. 4. Treo 650 Smart phone - This is a new one for a lot of people. A sophisticated blend of phone and function if you will. The Treo 650 Smart phone combines a handheld PDA with all the applications of today's top cell phone. Be it for calling home, or organizing your class schedules with due dates, and assignment notes, everything is at your fingertips willing and waiting for you to push the limits of technology. 5. Sony CD Dream Machine - Last but not least, is an alarm clock. The Dream Machine not only saves you from being late for class, but also plays your favorite music with it's built in CD player, all of which is personally programmable to adjust to your schedule. Adding some tunes to the morning routine can even help boost your eagerness for class...at least for some people. Short and sweet, but defiantly essential, all of these things can help you to achieve the goals of academia, but also blow off some steam and help yourself recooperate over the weekends. It's always a plus having technology on your side, and with these top five gadgets you can't go wrong. �A&E THE PRIDE CALENDAR S siS H S i ü ; Local band, Stranger, plays at House of Blues San Diego Stranger stole the show with one of the most phenomenal live performances I've ever seen/heard. Stranger's energy was certainly unsurpassed by all the other bands that shared the stage with them on Aug. 28,2005, at the new House of Blues (HOB) in San Diego, CA. It was a surprise after watching all of the bands perform that night that Stranger was the opening act. With the amount of fans they had there before the show even began, it seems apparent that they could headline their own show at San Diego's HOB. Stranger opened the show with a mostly instrumental, but very melodic song, and then thanked the ecstatic crowd for coming out to enjoy the show, just before beginning a non-stop 40 minutes of energetic and powerful music. Stranger performed a medley of what •SillPiPPÄliiBS •M—I "Life Lessons" in stage presence BY JASON HOBBS Pride Staff Writer Tuesday, September 6, 2005 seemed to be about 10 full songs. Every song transitioned into the next in such a fluid manner that there was no notice of any errors or delays. The final song of the medley featured nearly an entire disbandment and reemergence of the band, bound together by the steady beat of the drummer. After the band reemergence, and the end of the medley, the lead singer thanked the very enthusiastic audience one more time for coming out to the show to enjoy their music and received a very warm and almost overwhelmingly energetic response from the audience. Then it was announced by the lead singer that they would do one more song. Stranger ended the show with a brand new song that had the creativity and style that had me humming the song during the intermission. After Stranger's set, the crowd finally began to move over to the bar and the bathroom. Although San Diego's HOB is not that big and no matter where you stood (even in the bathroom) you could hear the music, no one seemed to want to stop watching Stranger's energetic set. The show was not over after Stranger's set, but you might not have known that if you were standing outside watching all of the people leave.

BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer What happened this summer? It's the question distributors, producers and movie studio executives are asking themselves and each other. Compared to last summer, the box office has seen a decrease in domestic gross while the marketing, promoting and budget size of each movie has experienced no significant change.

Pushing the band into a new direction of mixed genres and collaborative thinking, "Plans" envelops the reflective stylings of bands such as The Album Leaf, and the late Elliott Smith. Death Cab for Cutie strongly utilizes the technique of slow, strung out piano with the soft and elegant notes of an acoustic guitar, adding to the CD's overall aura. The first single off the CD "Soul Meets Body" brings back the feeling of "The Photo Album" LP, and softens it, giving listeners a feel for the band's progression into a new sound. Almost taking a page from Elliott Smith's own figurative songbook is "I will follow you into the dark." With their own spin put into the song, Ben Gibbard quietly serenades us on a journey of love, filled with the unexpected twists and turns along the way. Gibbard sings "If Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied, and illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs, Photo courtesy ofwww.deathcabforcutie.com if there's no one beside you, when your soul embarks, then I will follow you into the dark." A simplistic yet morbid chorus makes the song powerful, yet serine at the same time. Produced by guitarist Chris Walla, "Plans" really makes its mark with the song . "Brother's on a Hotel Bed." The beginning of the song is especially like The Album Leaf, but when Gibbard's voice projects over the front of the piano, and acoustic drum set, we are reminded that "Plans" is defiantly something new. Ifyou are interested in anything remotely good these days, you will defiantly need to check out this CD. It pulls together and intertwines some of Gibbard's most pressing issues, relating them in a way that only Death Cab for Cutie can bring us. Look for them on tour this fall, and for more information you can visit www.deathcabforcutie.com. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Koenig The annual International Festival has become a short-lived tradition at Cal State San Marcos as dwindling financial resources forced the event to evolve into something new. The university's first "Questival" will debut i n its place Oct. 23. "The festival has always been what (university) President (Bill) Stacy called the premier outreach (to the community) for the university," said Bonnie Biggs, who now chairs the committee responsible for putting together Questival. The main reason for the change, according to Biggs, was the loss of the International Festival's un• "' ' : . • ' S§! p||gPhotofcyRoman S. Koenig derwriter Itoman, a Japanese company. Rather than having an event showcasing the theme of world community, t he focus of Questival will be educational, explained Biggs. "Who are we really trying to reach out to?" Biggs described as the big question for the event. It was decided t hat the focus should be on children, since they will be CSUSM's f uture students. It was decided t hat Questival should be "something t hat would showcase our treasure — our faculty, our students and our Mission Statement," Biggs continued. "I agonized at home with my husband" trying to come up with a name for the event, she explained. The event was a quest for knowledge, and her husband, jazz musician and CSUSM alumnus Gunnar Biggs, S I fli By Roman S* Koenig came up with the name "Questival." • - V f , J| " While Questival will still have entertainment, food and crafts with an international flair, the primary focus will be on creative learning activities for children, f 11 "I thmk it's been nmmng smoothly..

CSUSM, which admits freshmen and sophomores for t he first time in 1995, created t he position to develop a core of lower division curriculum and related programs. "Rather t han follow traditional curriculum used a t o ther universities, CSUSM will take this opportunity to forge new ground," Funes explained. " CSUSM's lower division curriculum willije inclusive, interdisciplinary, and involve students in active learning," he continued. "The University's innovative approach to education includes an emphasis on t he global context and will require students to take classes on race, gender, and class issues and will also integrate technology into t he classroom. By educating students around broad themes, t he courses will provide our students with a broader view of t he world and train them to think critically about t he choices they will have to make as citizens." The university's General Education Task Force, through its deliberations, laid t he groundwork for t he new director by developing an innovative approach to lower division education. As t he Director of General Education, Funes* job will be to implement t he committee's recommendations. In addition to Funes, more t han 20 CSUSM faculty members will be working on developing t he lower division. "I know t hat CSUSM will develop a cutting edge general education program under Dr. Funes* leadership," said Richard Millman, provost and vice president for academic affairs. "So much of our general education plans are based on collaborative teaching and learning t hat t he leadership of this program will be required to have great skills in working with others and getting top quality in a group environment. "The combination of t he experience, t he expertise, t he interpersonal skills, 'Rather than follow traditional curriculum used at other universities, CSUSM will take this opportunity to forge new ground.' CSU San Marcos celebrates five years TTUve years ago, California S tate UniJl versity San Marcos opened its doors to 448 students at a business park on Los Vallecitos Blvd. Today, CSUSM has its own campus, and enrollment topped 2,531 last spring. Next year, freshmen and sophomores will make histoiy when they join t he campus. C elebrations c ommemorating t he university's young existence were t he highlights of an Aug. 24 convocation and a founders' dinner Sept. 1. "In a place so new, it seems odd to speak of institutional history," noted CSUSM President Dr. Bill Stacy in his State of t he University address a t t he convocation. "While such a histoiy is considerably briefer t han those of our sister campuses in t he CSU — and, for t hat matter, of any s tate university in t he country — it is our history, and i t's all we have." S tacy h ighlighted s ome of t he university's accomplishments. When t he university opened in 1990, 12 founding faculty had been hired. Today, t he faculty number 125. CSUSM's Mission Statement was also created to serve as a guide for t he university's development. "Most of you in this plaza created a Mission Statement worthy of our respect, 17 majors and 14 minors, eight teacher credentialling programs, a nd t hree masters degree programs, fully accredited by WASC (Western Association ofSchools and Colleges)—even ahead of schedule," Stacy continued. Stacy also outlined challenges for t he next five years. One of those goals is to create a feeling of communal ownership. "Our challenge for t he next five years is to continue to move t he notion of t he individual owner from 'this is my university' to an interconnected network of owners/partners who act from a perspective t hat ' this is our university/" he said. The WASC accreditation proposed several recommendations for t he university's growth, according to Stacy. Areas t o focus on include creating a diversified s tudent body, an assessment approach f or s tudent academic c ompetencies, and embracing e ducation t echnologies. Stacy outlined six points for what h e c alled t he Dr. Bill Stacy u niversity's n ext five-year plan. The first of those is strategic planning, with a focus on defining t he university's role and image in t he community. "Our newness gives u s in this next fiveyear plan an eroding chance to strive for something distinctive for our university," he said. Next, Stacy discussed t he need to prepare for incoming freshmen and sophomores, and how their presence will impact student diversity, space, academic programs and financial obligations. Another concern for t he university is capital construction. This concern has increased since the defeat of Proposition 1C last J une. CSUSM must find a way t o manage t he situation if a similar proposition fails in November, said Stacy. Budgetary goals for t he university include a new organizational direction, with a focus on campus vision, objectives and accountability r ather t han t he "line item" approach, he explained. CSUSM and the entire s tate university system are already moving to t his approach, Stacy added. Finally, Stacy discussed how the university is committed to supporting technology on campus, tempered with t he need to be flexible a s technology changes. Stacy ended his discussion on a positive note, saying t hat "If we work toward an ownership t hat is 'our university'... I believe our university will be able to accomplish all t his and more." Dr. Don Funes, General Education director and the vision of Dr. Funes and the high caliber of our faculty will lead to a general education program t hat is exciting to t he students, innovative, and successful." Funes joined CSUSM in 1990 from Northern Illinois University. His former positions as Liberal Studies program director and Visual and Performing Arts program director have been filled by Dr. L ionel M aldonado a nd P rofessor Deborah Small, respectively.

At t he meeting of t he San Diego Area Council of t he Boys and Girls Clubs of America, F ifth Dimension was honored with a "Distinguished Program Award" for contributions to t he educational programming a t t he Boys and Girls Club of Escondido. Although these awards are usually given t o in-house programs, t he F ifth Dimension's unique program of collaboration between t he university and t he Boys and Girls Club led to an award to both t he host club and to t he CSUSM. The award was accepted on behalf of t he University by Karen V. Swaine, a CSUSM student who worked on this project for more t han two years. The F ifth Dimension Program is directed by Dr. Miriam Schustack, professor in psychology, and Dr. Patricia Worden, associate dean of t he College of Arts and Sciences. I t is a part of a multi-site research project supported by a grant from t he Andrew Mellon Foundation. The program was designed to increase children's literacy through a voluntary, recreational afterschool program. Undergraduates from CSUSM supervise and play with elementary-age children in structured game activities. Students join t he children in activities t hat enhance a variety of academic skills such as reading, writing, math, logic, problemsolving, and computer use in an atmosphere t hat is quite different from a school classroom. Students receive scholarships California State University San Marcos has awarded two scholarships to students for their academic achievements. The first recipient of t he CSUSM Fallbrook Art Association Scholarship is Diana Mcintosh of Carlsbad. Mcintosh, a visual a rts student, received t he $500 scholarship based on t he recommendation of t he CSUSM Visual Arts faculty. She has completed t hree murals emphasizing Native American history. The California Retired Teachers Association Laura E. Settle Scholarship was awarded to Jennifer Jackson of San Diego. The $1,000 scholarship is given annually to a CSUSM student entering t he teaching profession, who has excelled academically. Sanders given two-year fellowship Sabrina Sanders of CSUSM has been accepted as a Fellow in t he National Association of Student Personnel Administrators' Minority Undergraduate Fellows Program (MUFP). Sandra Kuchler, CSUSM's Associate Dean of Student Affairs has agreed to serve as Sabrina's mentor. The Minority Undergraduate Fellows Program is a two-year preprofessional experience offered t o high achieving minority undergraduates. The mission of t he program is to increase t he number of minorities in student affairs and higher education. Sanders will work with Kuchler and take part in campus-based experiences related to student affairs. Sanders will also attend a three-day leadership institute and will be provided opportunities for professional mentoring, networking, and learning about graduate preparation programs. Opportunities are also available for Sanders a s a second-year Fellow t o participate in an eight-week paid summer internship designed to provide professional experience and exploration of a career in student affairs and higher education administration.

Grant will help globalize curriculum California State University San Marcos has received a boost in its quest t o develop a curriculum based on t he institution's Mission S tatement. CSUSM received a $75,000 grant from t he U.S. Department of Education's Title VI Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Language Program. The grant may be extended t he following year for a two-year total of $150,000. The university is currently developing lower division courses in preparation for its first freshman class next year. The grant will be used to support t he internationalization of CSUSM's new general education core curriculum and to develop foreign language instruction. "The g rant makes it possible for t he University to realize one of t he f undamental t enets of our mission statement," said Dr. Peter Zwick, CSUSM's coordinator Richard Millman of University Global Affairs. "It will help us to provide CSUSM students with a truly international education." Zwick is t he project director for t he grant. Other members of t he grant writing team include: Stella Clark, Foreign Languages; Vicki Golich, Political Science; and Patty Seleski, History. "The grant is a tribute to t he team of faculty members who wrote it; Department of Education grants are extremely competitive," noted Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Richard Millman. "The excitement of integrating international concerns, language, and culture into t he first two years of university study is a wonderful idea. I t will make CSUSM an institution with a truly unique lower division curriculum." Grant funds will be used to s upport f aculty who develop courses with a strong international component, to introduce language instruction in Japanese this academic year, and to plan for the development of French and Chinese language studies in 199596. C SUSM selected for new federal loan program The Federal Direct Student Loan Program will now include California State University San Marcos beginning in t he 1995-96 academic year, U.S. Secretary of Education Richard W. Rilej&announced recently. CSUSM is one of 983 schools announced by Riley. They are among t he first to participate in a new streamlined system to restructure the nation's student loan programs. "These schools will have an opportunity to demonstrate t hat direct lending can indeed simplify t he administrative tasks of educational institutions, lower costs to taxpayers, and most importantly, provide b etter services t o students," said Riley. Under t he new program, t he federal government provides loans d irectly t o s tudents t hrough schools, reducing administrative burdens and increasing efficiency to make borrowing easier for students. By taking advantage of t he federal government's ability t o borrow money a t a lower interest rate, Congress expects t hat direct lending will save taxpayers billions of dollars. The new program also offers students a repayment option t hat tailors monthly payments to t he borrower's income. "I am pleased t hat t he San Marcos c ampus h as b een selected," said CSUSM Director of Financial Aid Paul Phillips. "I believe that t he direct lendingprogram will result both in federal savings and in more responsive service to t he students." There a re more t han 6,500 public, private, 4-year, 2-year, and proprietary schools eligible to participate ki t he direct loan program. CSUSM met t he following criteria for participation: participates in t he Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP); had a default r ate in the FFELP of less t han 25 percent in fiscal year 1990 or 1991; has t he technological capability to participate electronically; and has demonstrated administrative and financial responsibility. President Clinton's direct lending proposal, t he Student Loan Reform Act of 1993, was passed with bipartisan support by Congress as p art oft he Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (P.L. 103-66). k/eiootKe to a new fondokPr- In your hands is t he first 1994-95 edition of The Pride.

Palomar patrons may get a free parkingpermit by stoppingby our Public Safety office in the University Services Building on La Moree. They may also buy a permit from one ofthe machines placed in both parking lots or use metered parking. Palomar patrons obtain borrowingprivilegesbybringingtheir current student or faculty ID to t he library's information desk. While reciprocal borrowers may borrow from our collection they are restricted from using interlibraiy loan, reserves and some specially licensed computerized resources. These services are still available through t he Palomar College library as well as some limited reference services, current periodicals and CD ROM databases. Finally, Palomar students are welcome to attend CSUSM library o rientations a nd w orkshops. Schedules are available a t the library's information desk. For further information, call 752-4340 "Where i s t he r eference desk?" is a question t hat many students ask when entering our library for t he first time. The answer is t hat there is none! Instead we have an Information Desk, information assistants and a Research Consultation Office. This is patterned a fter a reference and information services model pioneered a t Brandeis University. Here is how it works. The Information Desk (at the front counter where you check out your books) handles most quick information and directional questions and refers Users to a librarian when necessary. The information assistants, who are students, help with using the computer resources (CD ROMs and other databases) which are located close to the main entrance to the library. The Research Consultation office (adjacent to the Information Desk) is staffed by librarians who help with longer and more complex questions and research. This way, the librarians are able to provide more personalized and higher quality service than in a traditional reference model. The following are the hours t hat the Research Consultation Office is open. If none of these hours work with your schedule please feel free to set up an individual appointment with a librarian. Forms are available to do this at t he Information Desk or call 752-4348.

Think again By Mary Szterpakiewicz If you are thinking of going on to law school after graduation, and dreaming of t hat great-paying legal job, you may want to think twice about t hat decision. The April 1994 issue of the California Bar Journal states t hat "the nation's law schools will t urn out more t han 35,000 new lawyers this year; more than 6,000 of those likely will be admitted to the California bar." According to Law School Admissions Services ofNewton, Pennsylvania, they are projecting more t han 67,000 applications have already been submitted for entrance Photo by Roman S.

From the prospective new lawyer's view, it dims his or her chances at finding t hat dynamite job with a high starting salary. Statistics bear this out. In 1992, only 72.5 percent of law school graduates found full-time legal work within six months after graduation, according to the Journal. In 1989, by contrast, 81 percent found legal employment. Stephen Bundy, law professor at Boalt Hall School of Law, says t he increase in the number of lawyers in the last 20 years reflects changes in how law is used in our society. "The question is whether the growth hasn't outrun the social needs which drove t hat expansion," says Bundy. "My sense is t hat it has a little bit outrun the demand." Because schools are in the business of attracting students, their job is to entice you to attend their institution. It would be wise to do some research before leaping into law school. By t he time you graduate, your options may be slimmer than you anticipated. Spring 1994 Dean's List/College of Business Administration Andrade, Gary A.

Be nice: this month is for us media types While driving to school sometime last week, I came across an interesting item on a local morning radio show: this month is "Be Kind to Editors and Reporters Month." What a novel idea. In recent years the media (both print and broadcast) have taken a beating by people who seem to believe there is a predominantly liberal bias in what is being reported. Perhaps my view is a bit influenced because I am a member of t hat socalled "liberal media establishment," b ut I have had a difficult time trying to find any solid t ruth to this in today's mainstream media. Those who accuse the media of having liberal bias tend to be the ones who lost out during t he 1992 political campaigns. For t he first time since 1980, the Republicandominated executive branch lost to t he Democrats. Not only t hat, Democratic women swept California's two national senate seats. Is it a case of sour grapes? Perhaps. While the Democrats are trying t o enjoy their spot in t he sun, t he media has not been kind to President Clinton and his administration. Those who criticize t he media (like Rush Limbaugh and right-wing conservatives) make it seem like there are glowing reports of Clinton's success plastered across the front pages of national dailies. From general observations I have made, this is simply not true. When Clinton was running for president, what dominated the front pages? Allegations of a sexual affair with Jennifer Flowers—not particularly a "happy story" about his character. Again in recent months, network television news magazines focused on allegations made by a former Arkansas state employee t hat Clinton forced himself sexually on her. One thing right-wing critics of the media forget is t hat not all newspapers and television news shows are liberal. The San Diego Union-Tribune, Wall Street Journal l/iew Point ROMAN S. KOENIG and t he Orange County Register have traditionally conservative editorial policies. Television news magazines such as Pat Robertson's 700 Club are certainly not the bastion of liberal ideas. Most newspapers and television news shows have rightfully covered Clinton's successes, such as the passage of NAFTA, b ut during coverage of t he recent battle over t he crime bill it was clearly reported t hat Clinton was not favored to win. What bothers me most ofall is that those who so heavily criticize mainstream media have offered little if any solid proof that liberal bias is r unning rampant in the United States. The only place opinions belong is on t he editorial pages — whether they be liberal or conservative—and that's t he only place where I have found any "bias." T hat isn't to say bias does not exist. Indeed such publications as the Utne Reader and t he National Spectator have clear political agendas, Utne Reader on the liberal side and National Spectator on the conservative. During this month of being kind to editors and reporters, I ask those of you who judge me and my colleagues to give us a break for t he month of September, and take a good close look a t t he news media for solid proof of liberal bias. If any of you who read this are able to find such evidence of blatant liberalism, please bring it to me. I'd like to know—but be nice, and don't forget t he dozen roses. Students: don't be afraid to express your viewpoints Editor's note: The name "Janis" in this article is a pseudonym. "Janis" looked forward to her first class ofthe fall semester at Cal State San Marcos. It didn't go as she expected. She came away from t he class visibly upset. "I am sick of it," she said, referring to a classroom discussion which she termed, "juvenile." The things t hat were said had offended her. Such subjects as multiculturalism, global awareness, alternate lifestyles, reverse discrimination, were contrary to her traditional beliefs. When asked how she responded, "Janis" said, "I kept my mouth shut." . "Janis" takes her classes seriously. She is a mature student with a strong moral conscience. She had disagreed with t he ideas being expressed, but she remained silent. She withheld her feelings and she felt bad. How much better would she feel if she had spoken out? What held her back? She feared t hat her grade would be affected Per-gpesctiM YOUR VIEWS if she spoke out and revealed her true feelings. Also, she feared t hat the other students would laugh at her, make hurtful remarks, heckle her and embarress her. As we contemplate t he conflicts of this classroom situation we see the professor attempting t o elicit responses while maintaining control. We observe vocal students vyingforattention, pushing their points of view. Then we notice t he silent students and we wonder what they are thinking and how they are feeling. We may ask how many students like "Janis" are out there.

The right of free speech is guaranteed by t he First Amendment, and should not be subject to t he grading system. All students should be made to feel free to participate in open discussion. As a neutral party, t he professor should refrain from taking sides or expressing his personal biases. Students from all walks of life are seeking identity under pressure. Some have had permissive parents, are undisciplined in nature, exposing pervasive irresponsibility, and seekingindividual desires. T ruth has become realtive. Some have adopted a h umanist philosophy, multiculturalism, even t he occult. These forces are being acted out in t he hallways and now are boldly outspoken in t he classrooms. Where does "Janis" fit into this scenario? She has remained silent in t he classroom for what she considers good reasons. She has a right to be heard even though her ideas a re contrary to t he outspoken. If t he classroom is to be a liberal a rts forum, all ideas and all sides must be heard. This has far-reaching implications, for as Abraham Lincoln p ut it, "The philosophy in t he schoolroom in one generation will be t he philosophy of government in t he next." Where does "Janis" stand? She has a traditional discipline, respects her parental authority, exhibits exemplary behavior and h as a high sense of moral goodness. Her conscience gives her a sense of right or wrong. What she expects to learn in t he classroom does not change t he sactions of her conscience. She is eager t o learn b ut is h urt when t he professor deviates from t he subject and expounds his liberal biases. At t hat point, she feels like a captive audience under a n authoritive figure. If the classroom is to be a liberal arts forum, all ideas and all sides must be heard.' Irving F. Davis "Janis" and t he other "silent" ones like her have something to learn by honest introspection. "Janis" is upset by opposing ideas and may be quick to judge those whose ideas differ from hers. However, she faces t he challenge to head back into t hat classroom, loving her classmates—not for what they believe, b ut for who they a re — praying for those who verbally attack her and being a friend to t he outspoken as well as t o t he professor. By her example t he other "silent" ones, too, may learn to ignore t he criticism, take t he stand, and speak fearlessly for what they believe. By t his bold move "Janis" will break t he silence, be heard for what she believes, gain t he respect and following ofthose she influences and feel better, all a t t he same time. I rving F.

The requirement is mandated at all CSU campuses, although most students currently enrolled at Cal State San Marcos have already satisfied it, according to a press release on t he test. The ELM is a 75-minute multiple-choice test consisting of 48 intermediate algebra and 12 geometry questions. The passing score is 550 in a scale of 100 to 700. For those who have not satisfied the requirement, the test can be satisfied, by completing college coursework such as a statistics taken at the community college level, or a CSUSM course like Math 312. A satisfactory grade on exams such as t he SAT, ACT, AP and t he College Board Achievement Test can also nullify t he requirement. Those who have QUEST, YEAR OF GRADUATION ] scored below 550 can take Math 050 with a grade of C or better. The ELM must be completed by the end of this fall. Exam day is Oct. 15. Those who must take the test but haven't will not be allowed to register for spring 1995. To prepare for t he exam, students can take math tutoring from the CSUSM Math Lab, review intermediate algebra videos available from the Math Lab, test preparation workshops and ELM workbooks available in the University Store. Students who do not pass the Oct. 15 test can have a second chance on Nov. 12, or they can take Math 050 next spring. Additional information on the ELM requirement can be obtained by calling Admissions and Records at 752-4800.

Certainly, it h as been difficult for the entire student body to live without the almost overwhelming aroma of manure that permeates every inch of our fine, young campus. My s inuses were nearly acclimated to the stale, odorless summer air we've all been forced to inhale (with the notable exception, of course, the lucky few who attended summer school at the height of the cow dung breezes) and it i s certainly a relief to once again be able to deeply inhale with the promise of aromatic adventure. One's nose is never at a loss for excitement around here. . . The barbed wire fence surrounding the west end of the Academic Building is a nice new cosmetic touch. Surely it w as erected to help reinforce the environment of inclusiveness and community that we all cherish a s an integral part of the educational process. It i s undoubtedly j ust a matter of time before License Plate Making 101 i s added to our list of upper division requirements. . . There s eems to be an increase in the Fred population this quarter, much to the chagrin of the rest o fthe student body. Freds (so named in memory of the first smarmy know-it-all I encountered a s a college student) are those unique students who feel compelled to sit in the first desk of the first row of the class, leaving no professorial comment u n-analyzed. That is, Fred i s the guy allows you to catch u p on your reading for other c lasses every time h is h ands shoot up, the Howard Cosell of the classroom, the educational equivalent of Cliff Claven from Cheers. Freds seem to be predominantly (thougJTnof exclusively) male, and he appears to be most common in English (excuse me, Literature and Writing Studies) classes, and he u sually h as a plenitude of strange facial hair (not to be stereotypical, of course). It i s particularly exciting when Fred takes it upon himself to correct the professor, who always seems to have an amazing reserve of patience and understanding. Shouldn't there be some kind of law concerning student harassment? This kind of behavior i s definitely a s emotionally stressful and psychically scarring a s the whole Clarence Thom&sAnita Hill affair. . . It's about time somebody organized a student run copy service to provide instructor-compiled packets at a reasonable price. The book store i s getting away with murder. Why does everybody choose to conglomerate in the characterless, cafeteria-like Dome instead of the little-used, comfortable student lounge? Parking h as become a bit more of a h assle this semester with the increase in enrollment, but we've still got it incredibly easy compared to SDSU or UCSD or even Palomar. Rumor h as it that the cut in state funding to our university will result in the administration giving priority consideration to first and second year students over junior college transfers in the years to come. Necessary, perhaps, but unfortunate, and it will undoubtedly change the character of our campus. . . I go to c lass every day without climbing one stair. I take the Craven elevator to the 4 th floor, Jthe-ACD elevator to my desired destination. Slothful and proud. The Carol Cox S cholarship The Carol Cox Scholarship for Reentry Women is an endowed scholarship at CSUSM established to assist women returning or starting their college education later in life.

One year ago, the University began an aggressive campus recycling program. The Solid Waste Reduction Planning Committee, with assistance from Mashburn Waste and Recycling Services, was responsible for developing and implementing a model university recycling program. This program has proven to be very successful. However, this is not a one time effort, but an on-going project. The recycling program implemented is easy and convenient. Special color coded recycling bins are located throughout the university and classrooms. • B lue - Mixed P aper • B lack - N ewspaper • R ed - Glass • Gray - C ans & p lastic Both trash and mixed paper containers are located in each classroom. Since food and beverages are not permitted in the classroom, appropriate beverage recycling bins are located in the hallways ofthe academic buildings for disposal of beverage cans and bottles. Recycling containers for beverage containers have been added to the student parking lot. Let's keep up the good work. PLEASE take that extra step or two to put your recyclables in the right container. If you have questions or comments regarding the recycling program, please contact Support Services at Ext. 4520.

No overwrought symbol or avantgarde camera technique is spared in Stone's cinematic crusade to pull the blindfolds off the eyes of unsuspecting, middle class Americans and show everybody the truth behind the lies perpetrated by the corrupt establishment. There is something alarming smarmy and self-righteous about Stone's peculiar blend of radical political didacticism and cinematic overkill, and in excruciatingly, self-indulgent drivel like Born on the Fourth ofJuly and The Doors, the effect is akin to that of repeatedly being hit over the head with a large hammer. Occasionally though, touches of genuine celluloid brilliance creep through Stone's overwrought lectures. Think of James Woods' edgy, complex war correspondent in Salvador, the sheer visceral force of the battle scenes in Platoon, or the dreamy, paranoid fevered vision that is JFK (Kevin Costner's goofy New Orleans accent aside). Stone's sophomoric intellectual ideals and brilliant cinematic sense run a head-on collision course towards each other in the new Natural Born Killers, and in the end, the victor is difficult to identify. This film is Stone's ultimate achievement—it is far more visually and technically ambitious than anything he (or very nearly anyone else) has attempted before. Stone throws all his old tricks and plenty of new ones into the mix, telling the story of a couple of gleeful cereal killers with animation, 8 mm footage, slow motion, black and white, montage and every other visual style possible. The film is a hyper mish*nash oftechnical and dramatic technique from beginning to nd, yet Stone never lets it e spiral out of control. There is a unity and consistency to this collage, a method behind the madness that has been missing in many of Stone's more conventional movies. One gets the feeling that this is the first time the director has been completely true to his marvelously unconventional artistic impulses, and the result is awesome, a kind of Bonnie and Clyde on acid. But y ou know t here's trouble brewing when, in various interviews, Stone tells us that there is an important message implicit in the film. Not content to dazzle technically, Stone has also attempted to make the movie a defining comment on our society and values. It is obvious that Stone intended Killers as broad social satire, indicting t he bloodthirsty media and the corrupt legal system as co-conspirators in the 52 brutal murders committed by Mickey and Mallory (Woody Harrelsonand Juliette Lewis), the films two main characters. In that respect, Stone shoots considerably wide of the mark. He has none of the ironic detachment or keen sense of human behavior that marks the work of an accomplished cinematic satirist like Robert Altman. Stone's idea of satire is merely to present a distorted, exaggerated picture of every character he wishes to indict—a dramatic enlargement that is somehow supposed to expose the hypocrisy implicit in the evil "system." But none of these characters (Robert Downey Jr. as a tabloid television reporter, Tom Sizemore as a psycho cop, Tommy Lee Jones as a corrupt prison warden) ring true because none of them are given any depth or dimension. We are presented with absurd, one-note, cartoon characters being used as proof of the rottenness ofall authority figures. It simply does not work.

That misstep, though, does little to take away from the movies sheer emotional power. Viewed without the prism of Stone's didacticism, Natural Born Killers is a mayor achievement. Harrelson and Lewis are both very effective in their roles, but it's Downey that steals the film with his ratings-hungry tabloid reporter, and host of "American Maniacs. Alternately shocking and wildly funny (often in the same scene), Stone is not afraid to play with taboos aboutviolence and brutality. The two murderers are the only remotely M sympathetic characters in the film, and the various killings are filmed as almost primal celebrations. It is cartoonish violence, to be sure, but Stone implicates the audience in the killings by turning them into sheer entertainment. That is the most effective message he can convey. �SPORTS & FiTNEss C lub" 746-1111 A menities: Racquetball Basketball Volleyball Wallyball • Lap Pool Indoor Track Free Weights Aerobics Nautilus Sprint Com Star Universal 2 Jaccuzzis 2 Steam Rooms 2 Saunas Cold Plunge Tread Mills Versa Climber Stairmasters Life Cycles Turbo Bikes Life Rower Karate Child Care Pro-Shop Juice Bar/Deli Hair Salon Chiropractor Skin Care Nutritionist Personal Training Group Rates Special Sporting Events San Diego's Best Athletic Club 101NIHG 1 994 The Great Amusement Park Getaway!

According to Judith Downie, an unofficial historian for the quilters, Tannis Brown, Training arid Special Projects Coordinator for Human Resources, was influential in bringing the group together. An accomplished quilter, she taught the ancient art to less experienced crafters. The group began with the creation of the " Founder's" quilt, which is pieced together f rom idonated scraps of fabric. Many well-known hands around the campus helped create the quilt, including Pat Worden, Associate Dean for Many pieces in the collection belong to Cal State San Marcos, including the 'Tenth Anniversary" quilt and the equally impressive "Founder's" quilt.

The ceremony took place on a warm and sundrenched afternoon at the San Marcos campus. Many distinguished guests, family, friends, faculty, staff and students attended the event. A processional march towards a temporary stage, set up on the lawn near University Hall, initiated t he everlt, a celebration marked by more music, speeches, and pleasant, heartfelt congratulations. Newly inaugurated President Gonzalez leads a concluding procession of distinguished guests, faculty and staff. San Marcos Mayor F.H. "Corky" Smith spoke of the earlier days of the campus and presented a key to the city which Gonzalez accepted on behalf of the university. Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham offered his own good wishes to Gonzalez and commended North County's only federal depository library. Francisco Gonzalez, President Gonzalez's brother, followed the distinguished political figures with a musical interlude entitled "Cuatros Milpas," which he played on the harp. Gonzalez's hard decision to leave Harvard Law School under the enormous pressure of being one of the first Mexican-Americans accepted there. One of the most poignant moments came when Professor Emeritus Elliot Aronson of the University of California, Santa Cruz, shared his recollections. President Gonzalez described Aronson a "mentor, teacher, and friend." Gonzalez eventually pursued a master's and doctoral studies in psychology at UC Santa Cruz and contributed significantly to his field. Although Gonzalez is his only student to have become president of a university* Aronson praised Gonzalez particularly as a "wonderful teacher and first-rate researcher." Aronson charted President Gonzalez's lifetime of struggle and achievement — his childhood growing up in a rough part of Los Angeles, his early days in the Air Force and then working as a truck driver before finally attending community college. CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed made the final and official address which invested Dr. Gonzalez as the second president of the young and growing university. Gonzalez would eventually receive a history degree with honors and election to Phi Beta Kappa from Pomona College. Aronson also commended President Gonzalez expressed gratitude to his mentor, Aronson, and conveyed a sense of optimism for the next decade of Cal State San Marcos.

Should I drop one? - Michelle, 21 Oh Michelle, you call this a dilemma? You needn't "drop" anyone if you are v being open with these men. Have fun with them and enjoy their company. I assume you haven't committed yourself to a monogamous relationship with one of them, so don't worry. You should, however, be open with both of them. Besides, even if you are looking for a "serious" relationship, then you must remember that dating is like a rehearsal. You play the scene and see how it goes. How else are you supposed to decide? What if you dropped the wrong one and you never gave yourself the opportunity to rehearse with the other? Just remember that you are dating and not committed. If you choose to monogamously commit later, then you will be able to do so with confidence. Unless one of them is a total tragedy, then date them both and don't be so serious. I am amazed that you have time we meet. The fact that someone put a rod through their nose doesn't tell us much about that person anyway. You need to know that your appearance may cause a stare or a dumb remark, but that is because of others' limitations. Instead, you need to wear your pierced lip like Elizabeth Taylor wearing a fat ass diamond ring. I don't know how crazy your clothes are, but look at the designer Betsy Johnson. She sports her wild outfits like they are haute couture and you need to do the same. Please don't think that your outfits are better or worse than anyone's, just realize that they are part of your expression at that time. When clothes and appearances are taken too seri-v ously, then the whole fashion thing becomes dreadfully miserable. Refocus your energy from worrying about others' opinions and problems and f ocus on your creativity of expression. to date two men though. Don't you have projects to do?

Anonymous, Age 25 Hello! Haven't you heard of hypocrites?? Well, that's the type of person you have met and let me tell you, there are plenty of them out there. It's like those people who say, "oh, I am not prejudiced, I even have a friend who is black." These people are proving that they are prejudiced. If they weren't they wouldn't feel as if they needed to "prove" it by saying "look I even have a Mend who is...." You see! I must say, though, that no one is without prejudice and bias. This is a human trait which comes from the way we conceptualize things.

According to a recent report from Enrollment Services. Around 800 more students will be on campus this Fall semester over last Fall 1998. That figure increases total enrollment at our growing campus to 5,850. The fees at CSU have dropped $39.00 per semester. Additional funding from the state budget to all CSU schools has made this the second consecutive year for a decrease in school fees. In the film THE ASTRONAUT'S WIFE, directed by Rand Ravich, a space mission goes horribly wrong when astronauts Spencer Armacost (Johnny Depp) and Alex Streck (Nick Cassavetes) are involved in a bizarre space accident that puts them out of communication with NASA for a full two minutes. The shuttle is brought back down to Earth and both men are unconscious. Armacost appears unhurt, but his co-pilot Streck has suffered a heart attack and later dies under questionable circumstances. Armacost's decision to retirefromflying and take an executive position at a New York City-based aerospace company is the first strange event upon his return from space. Jillian (Charlize Theron) is immediately impregnated with twins and thus begins her paranoia about her babies and her husband. He definitely isn't the man he used to be. Spencer Armacost (Depp) communicates to the extraterrestials via the radio by way of a cold, calculated, high-pitched electronic pulse. Well, that seems to be the form the aliens take in THE ASTRONAUT'S WIFE. About this time, Jillian really starts to panic, she should her husband is a freak. Jillian spends the rest of the film trying to frantically figure out whether she's part of some grand master extraterrestrial plan that could end all humankind. The film plummets further away from anything great and has a quick disappointing ending to boot. Shari- This film was highly predictable and I knew everything that was goinf to happen. • Shari-What is with Johnny Depp's voice? He sounds like a cross between Elvis and John Travolta. Shari- Charlize Theron appearance was the same in all the scenes - "perfect".. .My hair and make up would have been smeared and smudged if I was crying all the time. Shari-Wait for it to come out on video, don't waste your money on this film. Mark-1 wasn't sure what the hell was going on? Mark- At least the set designs were pretty cool. Mark-One thing is for sure is that the ending did nothing for me. The script lacked a great deal of information. I 'm not a screenwriter, but it would have been nice to know who the alien is?

Leslie Zomalt, a retired faculty member of CSUSM, was also one of the founding quilters. Many of the smaller quilts showcase her beautiful work, including the "Penguin" quilt. Lest i t be thought that quilting is solely women's work, the group also includes men. Several men helped create the first quilt, including Executive Vice President Ernie Zomalt. Four years later, rights to a final signature on the quilt auctioned for $150.00. Benefits went to the Carol Cox Re-entry Women's Scholarship. Downie notes the satisfaction derived from creating a beautiful piece of craftsmanship with other members of the university. She says, "I feel so good after that hour of quilting." All are welcome to the bees, and often students, faculty, and staff sit side by side busily stitching away at a portion of a quilt. Present quilters stay in touch via email, and often plan outings to various quilt shows and fabric stores. University members interested in the quilting group do not need to fill out an application.

Class size limitations "depend on many factors," says Teresita Rodriguez, Director of the Office of Admissions, including number of lab stations, seating capacity, fire code, and resources. The nature of some classes requires them to be small to allow special, individualized attention from the instructor. Both Heckman and Rodriguez recommends for the future that students be diligent and use the SMART Web. Both the SMART Telephone Registration System and the SMART Web are "live data" and have instant updates of seat Registered students not show- availability. "A lot of registraing up on the first day of a class tion is luck and timing," admits can be dropped by the instructor Rodriguez. The advantage of thereby leaving room for crash- the SMART web is the ability to search for alternative courses quickly and efficiently. The SMART Web also lists all courses and class options added after the publication of the "hard-copy" class schedule. Heckman believes "after two days; of registration that book becomes old news." Another important piece of advice, says Heckman, is for students to "take advantage of the priority registration appointment time assigned right down to the minute." All priority registration times are mailed to the student's current address on file at the University. The last day to add or drop a class without a Dean's signature is September 10th.

I did not know. The rest of The Pride staff did not know. As far as anyone on the campus knew, the celebration was still to come. Indeed, that is true, the celebration is still to come. But it comes as a surprise to me the relative hush that surrounded the actual day. Although I am sure that the anniversary celebration, slated for later in the semester, will meet the expectations of this auspicious event, The Pride would like to extend a happy belated birthday to our school now.

"Don't be afraid to take Spanish," said Karla Ontiveros. "Don't feel stressed." To students who dread taking a foreign language class, Ontiveros' excitement for the subject encourages students to consider Spanish. Ontiveros is a graduate student in the Spanish program at Cal State San Marcos who is also teaching two sections of Spanish 102, Beginning Spanish II. Born in Tijuana, Ontiveros moved to Lakeside when she was 16. A fter graduating from El Capitan High School she then moved t o Temecula and began attending Cal State San Marcos. She earned a Bachelors of Arts in Spanish and is currently finishing her Masters of Arts in Spanish. Ontiveros is thinking about pursuing a Ph.D. in linguistics, but is unsure. A Ph.D. might take her away f rom being able to introduce the language to students who are learning it for the first time. Originally, Ontiveros was an accounting major, but found it boring. A fter taking a Spanish linguistics class, she discovered how interesting language can be. Now she wants to bring the excitement of learning a new language to others. Ontiveros loves interacting with her students and showing them, on a basic level, the joys of Spanish. Eventually, Ontiveros wants to teach Spanish at the community college level. She makes a real effort to understand her students. She knows the difficulty of learning a new language. Ontiveros tries to make her classes f un and enjoyable for her students through creative methods such as games and movies Ontiveros also speaks to her students in Spanish outside of the classroom to enhance the learning experience. Her f un See KIMBERLY, page 2 At the corshow ByCHEZAREMDjO Pride StaffWriter Photo by Chezare Milo/ The Pride The flash of chrome and the rumble of engines turned the heads as car enthusiasts of all ages and walks of life showed up Friday night for another cruise down Grand Avenue in Escondido. As the lead sleds rumbled to their positions along the old business district of Escondido, sounds of the past filled the air. Food and drink were enjoyed as people came to relive the cruises of the 1950s and 60s. The Downtown Business Association of Escondido (DBA), along with the City of Escondido, is currently holding the fifth season of weekly cruises called Crusin' Grand. The Friday cruises take place on Grand Avenue 5 to 9 p.m., beginning the first Friday in April and running through the last Friday in September. The cruise and show take place along Grand Avenue between Orange Street and North Ivy Street. All vehicles are welcome to cruise Grand Avenue, but after 4 p.m., the City and DBA request that only pre-1974 American vehicles park along the street. Although the event was constructed with American cars in mind, several foreign makes can be seen parked along the avenue as well as a few custom or later model specialty vehicles. Only pre-1974 American vehicles are judged in the show and eligible to receive an award. Awards are given at 8 and 8:45 p.m. on the corner of Broadway and Grand Avenue. There is no entry or registration fee or determined award categories. The public is invited to bring their pre-1974 vehicle to the cruise and show. Parking along Grand Avenue is free, on a first come basis, and there is no time limit a fter 4 p.m. Parking for non-event vehicles is available at the many f ree public lots immediately See CARSHOW, page 2 �Tuesday, September NEWS 7 , 2004 INJJ/VVO T HE P RIDE CARSHOW from page 1 cles.

With a view from my house of the Del Mar fairgrounds and ocean water I have been lucky enough to visit the place "where the turf meets the s urf' on more than one occasion. As the horse racing season at Del Mar comes to an end on September 8, so does the excitement around my little coastal town. Del Mar provided many fun times this summer hanging out with old friends and new friends all the while meeting new interesting people. With a lot of luck this summer surprisingly the track provided me and my friends a place to make some extra cash. The very first bet of the season that my friend Matt placed was a $1 trifecta. A trifecta is where you are predicting the first, second and third 1Jùn place finishers in order. It is a low risk and high reward bet but it rarely will come in. However, his three horses came in exact order and he won over $200 on a $1 bet. The rush from seeing that was unbelievable, but what happened before he got his money no one could have foreseen. He thought that his third horse didn't come in third so he tore up his ticket in frustration of being so close. It turned out to be a photo finish for third and he ended up having to pick up the pieces off the ground and take it to the window and beg for them to accept the ticket. As soon as that happened I had an inkling that this was going to be a wild track season at old Del Mar and I sure was right. Every time I went to the track something new happened. With such a wide variety of people I didn't know what to expect when I would meet someone new. On one occasion I went to the track with my friend Chantal and before we knew it we were hanging out with a prominent sports talk show host. By the end of the day I had met a great contact. Just recently I attended the track with Scott who is a fellow Pride staff writer. I started talking with a jockey who is one of the most famous jockeys to ever ride a horse, Before I realized it I was being chewed out for the fallacies that some newspapers report. By the end of this conversation I saw first hand the beef that some people have with journalists. I could go on about a dozen more stories but mind you these are the stories my friends will allow me to share as many more jaw dropping things did occur on my visits. Of the friends that I took for their * very first visit to the race track they all couldn't wait to go back. Every single one of them would say things like, "What a fun atmosphere" or "What a great place to meet new people" The famous race track saying is "Go baby go". I would like to repeat that one last time as the season is almost upon completion, and I would like to add "but come back real soon". Dude, where's my seatI ByKJMBERLY SCHLATER Pride StaffWriter Churchill's P ub & Grill W e're C SUSM's L ocal P ub! As the new semester begins at Cal State San Marcos, the heavy flow of students racing to get a seat in class just seems to increase. Unfortunately many of the students who have claimed a seat are not even enrolled in the class. Most crashers sit with their fingers crossed as the instructor takes role. After the instructor isfinished,the crashers raise their nervous hands and ask the infamous question, "Are you taking any crashers?" Most instructors are very generous; however their student limit usually ranges from 35 to 40 students per class. Many students get lucky, but a great number get turned away if they are not graduating soon or not the lucky pick in the lottery. So I ask myself, why is this prob- lem just increasing instead of being resolved? The student population at Cal State San Marcos just keeps growing every semester, so why are there not enough classes and instructors to accommodate this ever growing University? This problem needs to be solved before it jeopardizes upper division and graduating students. - Just minutes west of campus at 887 W.

Medulla, a Latin word meaning marrow, is the answer and also the title for the musician's latest album, released August 31st, 2004. Exploring and experimenting with music is what has made Bjork unique, and this uniqueness is demonstrated throughout Medulla to its entirety. The album originally consisted of an assortment of instruments and Bjórk's vocal tracks but upon completion Bjork muted out the instruments leaving solely her vocal tracks. This decision left the album completely acapella. Bjork then brought on a team of human beat boxers consisting primarily of former The Roots member Rahze1, and an u nheard of Dokaka. Rahzel's and Dokaka's human beat boxing can be heard t hroughout album and is at its Sept. 22) Cleanliness %m organization are often your fmj^gest fortesy but that doesn yt need to be true thisjbontk the minutes and a little more time You '11findthat pu ^ and your friends love you more than you LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct ^ have a lot more than you realized, kkew^^^f 22) No one has pewmpftshed all they ever wanted by sitting around.

This month, try taking a role of servitude. Be open to lessons in humility, tolerance, and patience. Hero is onfe of the most beautiful, amazing films I've ever seen, but I also think it's an acquired taste - like escargot. I'd pitch this film as a sort of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon meets The Matrix, but that hardly does justice to the artistry of fifth generation filmmaker Zhang Yimou. Zhang has a painter's eye for color - which becomes a character unto i t s e l f a n d reveals the complexity of the story like a geisha disrobing: peeling off the delicate layers of silk until the bare soul of this film is exposed. Hero is set in China some 2,300 years ago, when the country was divided into a half dozen warring factions. Jet Li is the assassin, Nameless, who has succeeded in killing the Qin king's enemies. Most of the film involves telling the story of how Nameless ended up in a private audience with the king, which includes the best wired martial arts sequences ever captured on film. Fhoto Courtesy ofMiramax films Zhang is also generous in sharing his artistic sensibilities in choosing his settings, from the stark, moonscape that is China's interior, to a psychedelic deciduous forest, to a rain sequence like nothing you've ever experienced. My only real criticism is that the subtitles are a bit clunky I'm certain the beauty of the Chinese language has been sadly maimed by the translation into English subtitles - but the visual artistry of the film more than makes up for this lack. So I'd recommend Hero if you're the type of person who enjoys visual artistry in film, who isn't annoyed by having to read subtitles, and who embraces the chal- lenges posed by storytelling from a very different (read non-American) cultural perspective. Otherwise, just go see Collateral and leave this film to the escargot-eaters. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

SLL ENCOURAGES INVOLVMENT Students offered services and information at Leave Your Mark fair THIS ISSUE SOCIAL JUSTICE CENTERS FEATURES, R 3 V u l • . mu BY A MY SALISBURY E DITOR- I N-CHIEF The library plaza buzzed with new and returning students alike during the Leave Your Mark fair last Thursday, Sept. 2. Under a white tent sat more than 30 tables with representatives from organizations associated with CSUSM. The event's purpose was to showcase many opportunities for students to "leave their mark" on the CSUSM campus and further their involvement, according to Student Life and Leadership. Student Life and Leadership, SLL, sponsored the event and coordinated a mass photograph of incoming freshmen on the steps outside University Hall. Free 20th Anniversary t-shirts were distributed to the freshman, and Crash the Cougar was front and center in the photograph. "Witnessing the first year student picture was quite a sight!" said Kathryn Hayes, SLL student representative and President of Sigma Tau Delta, English Honor Society. Hayes was pleased with the success of the event. "It was nice to see the enthusiasm from thefirstyear students, as well as returning students, going through all the tables and taking advantage of the hosted events," said Hayes. SLL staff members Joshua Galea'i and Jennie Goldman ensured that the event went smoothly and all participating parties were well represented. Four rows of tables beneath the tent offered information about their services from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. while a live band, Live in Los Angeles provided music. Hope and Wellness Center, Math Lab, Writing Center, Eco Club, and PRIDE Center were but a few of the organizations participating in the event. Melanie Slocum, a tutor at the Writing Center, was happy to have participated and predicts the fair will have a positive outcome on new students. "Hopefully now students won't have second thoughts about using resources like The Writing Center because they were able to meet a few of us and learn that we don't really bite," said Slocum. SLL's Weeks of Welcome events continue through Friday, Sept. 9. For more information, visit the SLL office in Craven 3400.

A total of six majors are now impacted at CSUSM: Communications and Mass Media, both Bachelor of Arts, join Business Administration, Kinesiology, Nursing, and Human Development. "Impacted" is a term used to describe a major that has more qualified students interested than can be accommodated for. Since CSUSM wants to preserve a quality classroom experience, certain screening requirements are now being enforced. In easier terms, Communications and Mass Media are now in the top ten most popular majors for CSUSM, showing clearly that currently there is not enough faculty support to supply the demand of the students interested in either growing major. Screening criteria includes a requirement of 60-se- mester of baccalaureate-level coursework applicable toward a degree at CSUSM and completion of coursework equivalent to the lower-division preparatory coursework for the Communication and Mass Media major. A list of the major prep classes can be found at www. csusm.edu/admissions/impaction/impactedmajors .html A minimum GPA of 2.5 needs to be achieved in the major prep classes in order for students to apply and be accepted officially into the major. Without completion of major prep courses, and meeting the minimum GPA requirements, students cannot enroll in upper division major core classes. Since this limits freshmen and sophomores to even declare Communications or Mass Media until they have finished the prep classes and are in junior class standing, until requirements have been fulfilled, they can be admitted as "PreCommunications" or "Pre-Mass Media." �FEATURES TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7,2010 EDITORIAL STAFF Editors-in-Chief Amy Salisbury Sandra Chalmers csusmpride@gmail.com Features Editor Toria Bodden features.pride@gmaiLcom Arts and Entertainment Editor Candice Wyatt artsandentertainment.pride@gmail. com • Copy Editor Amy Salisbury Artistic Design and Layout Jillian Kerstetter pridelayout@gmail.com Sales Representative Sandra Chalmers pride_ads@csusm.edu Digital Media Management Jenna Jauregui Ride Staff Photographer Aaron Jaffe Advisor 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.

Several leasing offices offer certain extermination services as part of your community privileges. The last thing they want is for you to ignore a pest problem because you couldn't afford the exterminator and then have it spread to several other apartments. It looks bad on the leasing office. If you're in a situation where you're on your own for gettingridof bugs, do your research online. See if local companies offer discounts, check the Better Business Bureau (http://www.bbb.org/ us/Find-Business-Reviews/). And, just in case you've missed all the news coverage about them, yes, bed bugs are back, and they're back with a vengeance after being MIA in the US for about forty years. While I realize mattresses and sofas areridiculouslyexpensive, you'd be better off getting the cheapest thing from Ikea rather than buying off Craigslist. Bed bugs can be transferred in any piece of furniture, and getting rid of them once they're in your house is an extremely expensive process. The best plan is to check an apartment top to bottom before you move in, looking for signs of any creepy crawlies. 4 )... a rat hiding behind the couch, your roommate's boyfriend hitting on you, a guy passed out in your bath tub you've never seen before, etc. Just remain calm.

If this is your umpteenth apartment, then chances are you've already realized you just need to role with the punches of a new situation, and things will settle down quickly. I remember, in myfirstapartment, the day I realized I was going to have to kill the biggest spider I'd ever seen by myself. I just about had a heart attack. It gets easier, though. You'll get into a routine, establish your own space, make some friends, learn that you can actually cook things besides ramen (see our new column, Prowlin' the Kitchen for more help with that) and life will go on.

PROWLIN' THE KITCHEN OATMEAL: SO CHEAP, SO SWEET! BY J ENNA JAUREGUI D IGITAL M EDIA M ANAGER When faced with a tight food budget, many college students turn to Ramen noodles and the fast-food dollar menu—meals that satisfy the wallet but not always the appetite. If you are among the droves of starving students who find their bank accounts running dry after buying parking permits and textbooks, allow me to introduce you to an old friend you may have forgotten: oatmeal! A delicious, hot comfort food, oatmeal is an incredibly filling, nutritious grain that can substitute as breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert. According to versagrain.com, oats provide both soluble fiber, which lowers bad cholesterol, and insolublefiberthat can keep you... "regular/' In addition, oats boost your immune system, provide several vitamins and minerals, and may help prevent certain cancers. Quick oats can be cooked in just minutes, and smart shoppers can bring the price per bowl down to mere pennies. Here are three sweet ideas to zing up this great grain and add even more nutrients. Pumpkin Pie Vi cup quick oats A cup pumpkin puree 1 tbsp. vanilla extract allspice, honey, and brown sugar to taste Carrot Cake Vi cup quick oats VA cup shredded carrot (cooked) 2 tbsp. vanilla yogurt cinnamon to taste Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Vi cup quick oats 1 packet hot chocolate 1 tbsp. peanut butter l Everyone prepares their oatmeal different ways—some like it hot, some like it cold, some like it in the pot nine days old (as the rhyme goes, though I do not support that plan). Cook it how you like it! Throw in some nuts, some fruit, or whatever you think sounds delicious. Get beyond the raisin rut! Pop the bowl in the microwave, and you have a delicious hot meal in just minutes. Have fun experimenting! Ciao, my oatmeal-savvy students! The Cookin'Cougar N OW PLAYIN HE WAS GIVEN AN OFFER H E COU wmmS BY M ILA P ANTO V ICH P RIDE STAFF W RITER Robert Rodriguez is clearly doing what he loves to do most in "Machete," his most recent homage to the B-films of the 1960s and 1970s. Derived from a fake trailer that he created for the "Grindhouse" double-feature released with friend Quentin Tarantino, Rodriguez took full advantage of every Mexican stereotype he could think of, surrounding them with needless nudity and absurdly comical violence. The film is crude, disgusting, campy and immensely entertaining. Machete (Danny Trejo) is an ex-Federale who vows vengeance on the drug lord, Torrez (Steven Seagal), who PHOTOS COURTESY OF AMAZON.COM IlftSfilY TREJO «s BACHETE brutally killed his wife and daughter. Until he can get to Torrez, Machete spends his time roaming a parking lot in Texas looking for work with other illegal immigrants from Mexico. He finds himself hired by the nasty and conniving Booth (Jeff Fahey of "Lost") to assassinate the bigoted Texan Senator, McLaughlin (Robert De Niro). However, when Machete realizes that he has been used as a 4» political pawn to further Senator McLaughlin's re-election campaign, his need for retribution is kicked into overdrive and Machete is joined by freedomfighterLuz (Michelle Rodriguez), Padre the priest who knows how to wield 12-gauge shotguns (Cheech Marin), ICE agent (Jessica Alba) and Booth's junkie, internet porn star daughter (Lindsay Lohan). Instead of relying on plot or character development, which are two elements completely ignored in this film, "Machete" depends upon the exploitive humor of using Mexican stereotypes as a running joke. With decapitated heads flying, weed-whackers as weapons and cell phones being hidden within orifices of the female body, the only thing needed to know about this film is that the plot is irrelevant and the humor is worth the ticket price. �ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT THE PRIDE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7,2010 D ROPPING THIS WEEK BY REBEKAH GREENE j>RIDE STAFF WRITER Interpol - Self-titled Interpol's fourth studio album, self-titled "Interpol," is a perfect display how the band has evolved since theirfirststudio album "Turn on the Bright Lights" was released in 2002. Listeners will recognize the band's familiar sound, but "Interpol" will touch on more orchestral inspired sounds. This is also the last album including bassist Carlos Dengler who decided to pursue new projects. Dengler had been with Interpol since the band's beginnings. Thefirstsingle, "Lights," was released in May followed by "Barricade" released this summer. Sara Bareilles - Kaleidoscope Heart Ever since her single, "Love Song," hit the airwaves, Sara Bareilles gained top chart attention with her catchy tunes, relatable lyrics and beautiful use of the piano. "Kaleidoscope Heart" is Bareilles' second studio album with Epic Records, and the first single, "King of Anything" gives off an empowering feel yet still manages to sound upbeat and positive.

The application also features a new QuickPay service that allows users to send money to anyone with an email address, regardless of who they bank with.

Plus, I like the attention when I'm running around in my underwear," said Cassandra Klingbeil, Rocky Horror Cast member since 2008. The show begins with a humorous introduction explaining the show rules, which aren't many. Then there's the induction of the "virgins" who have never been to a Rocky Horror Picture Show before which often includes bananas, whip cream and good 'ole fashioned spankings. "First timers can expect confusion. Utter confusion. Some of the stuff people are yelling might offend them. Some stuff might make you laugh your ass off," said Cassidy. A few other games, such as "unhook that bra," will get the audience fired up for the show. The show will be anything but quiet, motionless entertainment. As an THE PRIDE PHOTOS BY CANDICE WYATT audience member, you will yell callbacks, throw stuff and dance the "Time Warp." If you don't have things to throw or don't know how to do the dance, don't worry. Goody bags full of items to throw at specific times during the movie are available to purchase for $2 and the "Time Warp" steps are easy and the movie shows you how to do it. "It's an audience participation movie. I stopped going for the movie a million years ago. It's all because of the people and the friendships you develop," said Cassidy. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is held every Friday at midnight at La Paloma Theater and admission is $9. The second Friday of every month is Lingerie Night, where cast members and audience members come dressed in street legal lingerie.

THOMPSON Peddling Propaganda BY AMY SALISBURY Opinion Editor The summer of 2008 showcased some of the most highly anticipated films released in recent years. The Dark Knight still has the potential to outdo Titanic in highest boxoffice gross, George Lucas brought back the incomparable Indiana Jones, and Disney/Pixar's WALL-E produced robot dialogue comprised entirely of electronic sounds (and we understood it too). However, I go to the movies to be entertained, not for a lecture. The way I see it, WALL-E was a kid friendly, wistful version of An Inconvenient Truth. That was a risky comment, so it may be best to let history speak before I do. During World War II, Disney was commissioned to create proAmerican war propaganda films for every facet of the United States government to be shown in cinemas nationwide and as educational films for servicemen. According to an article published in Life Magazine entitled "Walt Disney Goes to War," over 90% of Disney employees produced thesefilmswhile conscious of the fact that the reels would be a persuasive tool to win over the American people. What's more, Disney turned out multiplefilmswith antiGerman and anti-Japanese themes. One particular short, "Commando Duck," shows Donald Duck using Air Force-approved aerial bombing tactics to destroy an entire Japanese airbase by himself. In further research, I came across a cartoon from 1942 again starring Donald Duck and (subliminally) the War Activities Committee of the U. S. Treasury Department.

Donald Duck portrays a skeptical taxpayer who is convinced by a radio broadcast when he learns how important income taxes are to the military. In a later Gallup Poll, approximately 37% of the 26 million people who saw the film reported an increased willingness to pay taxes. Disney's attempts to dehumanize wartime efforts are virtually parallel to Pixar putting a humorous, friendly slant on the unproved theories of certain politicians and scientists. The entire premise of the film rests on how consumerism and environmental neglect will be the ultimate demise of man. At best, this film should be deemed a satire. Could I have it all wrong? Could Pixar actually have purposely gone overboard in their depiction of the future? Even so, New York Times columnist Frank Rich admits that WALL-E provides an "[...] unmistakable summons to Concerning the S AE 9/11 Party th THE PRIDE Cartoon by Dorian A. Deptuch / The Pride remake the world before time runs out." To avoid confusion, I am in no way equating global warming theories with white supremacy, nor do I condone anti-Americanism. However, it is simple feet that Disney has had extensive experience over decades about how to remain onesided and work harmoniously with parties affiliated with the government. At the end of the day, WALL-E The fall of The Office BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer NBC's "The Office" is set to start its new season September 2 5 , according to the official website. In addition, while the show has grown in popularity, the quality of the show is diminishing. The jokes are not as funny, and the character development has gone f rom cleaver to absurd. The first two seasons were the glory days of the show as it rose. Nevertheless, I think that it where it peaked. Ever since the last episode of season two, "Casino Night," the show's quality has been on a steady decline. I can remember being so excited for the start of season three, but the episode "Gay Witch Hunt" was a severe letdown. Since then, I have been waiting for that episode where the show becomes exciting and interesting again. However, it has been two years, and it has not made any progress. I can discern a definitive difference in the style of the show between the two halves. First, the characters were originally unique and had a fine blend of humor and humanity. They would do f unny things, but each was someone viewers could identify with. Yet, season three ushth embarrassing and appalling is the theme of the party, which is "Rescue Me." Essentially what it boils down to is a firefighter party on September 11 . The men and women who showed ultimate bravery that morning should not be mocked or impersonated in this fashion on the anniversary of one of their finest days. I think it is disrespectful to the people who ran in to save others, when everyone else was running out. And the party theme "Rescue M e" brings up connotations that seem insulting to the victims of the attacks. I would hope there is not a sailorthemed party on December 7 . I am aware that proceeds of the event will be going toward charity, but the end does not j ustify the means. The night should not consist of partying and dancing, but to mourn and be thankful. To consider the day and be m indful is to push forward to a better f uture. Though it acceptable to have f un, judgment and taste should be shown in the planning of these events. th th was indeed a visually dazzling movie. Pixar Studios produces exquisite computer animations sure to awe and entertain audiences just as the classic Disney cartoons still do today. As is inherently clear, Disney is well versed in making films whose message is sure to resonate within its audience. As long as the entertainment industry exists for just that, entertainment, persuasion has no place in the theatre. ered in an era where the characters became caricatures of themselves. Steve Carell's character, Michael the boss, went from silly but likeable to absurd and annoying. His actions are so over the top it becomes unrealistic and hard to follow the show. The same is for all the personalities, such as Dwight, who have had their fine details blown out of proportion. The show has also lost focus on where it was going. In the first two seasons, episodes happened independently with only the undertones of a relationship between characters Jim and Pam carrying though. Since the show has become more popular, it seems as if it has compromised itself to be more appealing. The continuing storylines are so overblown and preposterous that the show is a mess. There are too many new characters and storylines to appreciate. I still am a fan of the show, but the commercialization of the show has been its downfall. The first two seasons now seem like the glory days, and if it does not improve soon, I would rather see it end now rather than burn out a few years down. But that seems to be the theme of American shows. The British version of "The Office," which inspired the NBC version, ended after two seasons, amassing only 12 episodes and a feature length episode to tie up loose ends. Whenever NBC's "The O ffice" ends, hopefully it can t urn around before then so it can go out on a positive note. �FEATURES ASK A NINJA.COM S THE PRIDE »Ä BY CRYSTAL EVANS reveal the identity of, is o nscreen in creators make approximately $100,000 w orth checking out.

NORTH COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT GoNCTD.com �Tuesday, September 9, 2008 From NCLR, page 1 sary of NCLR's origination. The event, held July 12-15, included speeches from NCLR President and CEO Janet Murguia, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders, Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain. Thefrenzyof a politically driven event was visiblefromthe windows of the convention center. Throngs of protesters and supporters alike gathered on opposing sides of the street. Media vans lined the loading zones with police officers positioned outside the entrances like maitre ds. Thousands of people lined up, some having paid hundreds in donations, to hear Obama speak on Sunday, July 13. After an introduction from Maggie Rodriguez, CoAnchor for the CBS Early Show, the presumptive Democratic nominee took the stage. True to form, those in attendance received his message with applause, cheers and tears. Obama elaborated on his well-stapled message of change by adding that the system currently in place has not and does not work, especially for the minorities in this country. "The system isn't working when a child in a crumbling school graduates without learning to read or doesn't graduate at all. Or when a young person at the top of her class - a young person with so much to offer this country - can't attend a public college," Obama said. After promising to be the right candidate tofightfor a better America for everyone, Obama also called upon the Latino community to help in making that happen. "I know how powerful this community is. Just think how powerful you could be on Nov. 4th if you NEWS lllj translate your numbers into votes," Obama noted. He added that in 2008, an estimated 170,000 Latinos in New Mexico alone were not registered to vote. "I'm not taking a single Latino vote for granted in this campaign. We're meeting with Latino leaders across the country. We're reaching out to Latino organizations to get input on my policy proposals. We've got a nationwide Hispanic media strategy. We're recruiting and training Latino organizers. We're holding Latino voter registration drives across America. And when I'm President, I'll be asking many of you to serve at every level of government." McCain spoke at the conference the following day focusing on the economy and immigration policies. Although his entrance was met with protestorsfromthe back of the room, McCain quickly gained the attention of the guests in attendance outlining his agenda. "A recent report says small businesses have created 233,000jobs so far this year while other sectors are losing jobs. Small businesses are the job engine of America, and I will make it easier for them to grow and create more jobs," McCain said. "There are two million Latino owned businesses in America, many of them started by Latinas. The first consideration we should have when debating tax policy is how we can help those companies grow and increase the prosperity of the millions." McCain also responded to comments made against him by Obama a day earlier regarding immigration policies in reference to a comment McCain made stating that he would not support his own legislation if it came up for a vote. "My campaign (on immigration reform) was written off as a From TUKWUT, page 1 From R NC, page 1 briefly. Then Alex Hoang conducted his speech. He described afictionalscene of a real tukwut and her cubs freely roaming the grounds that CSUSM rests on 200 to 300 years ago. The audience seemed to enjoy his speech. "Fellow students.. .the Tukwut Courtyard is yours...it represents the promise of where we came from, the success we have achieved today and the prosperity that is to come. The integrity of our courtyard stands in the preservation of the name Tukwut," he said. Sam Fernandez, American Indian Student Alliance President and Neal Hoss, Vice President of University Advancement spoke as well. Lastly, Robert Freeman who constructed the Tukwut Statue explained how the statue was built. ' The statue is going to get you. He is crouched and ready to pounce," he said in a playful tone. "It was a nice opportunity to hear about the native America influence at CSUSM and to learn the background and meaning of [Tukwut]," said kinesiology senior CaitlmAmiton. Dozens of students, faculty and staff, and tribal representatives rushed the Tukwut Statue after the ceremony ended. Flashes and smiles quickly occupied the previously covered statue. Rather than appear at the convention however, President Bush made his address to the convention via satellite transmission. "I know the hard choices that fall solely to a president," said Bush. "John McCain's life has prepared him to make those choices. He is ready to lead this nation." On Sep. 3, the Republican delegates voted almost unanimously to officially nominate McCain as the Republican presidential nominee, concluding a lightly contested primary season for the Republican nominee. According to Nielsen Media Research, a record 38.9 viewers tuned into McCain's acceptance speech, with the convention averaging 34.5 million viewers YY THE PRIDE LI lost cause. I did so not just because I believed it was the right thing to do for Hispanic Americans. It was the right thing to do for all Americans. Senator Obama declined to cast some of those tough votes," McCain noted. "He voted for and even sponsored amendments that were intended to kill the legislation, amendments that Senator Kennedy and I voted against I never ask for any special privileges from anyone just for having done the right thing. Doing my duty to my country is its own reward. But I do ask for your trust that when I say, I remain committed to fair, practical and comprehensive immigration reform, I mean i t I think I have earned that trust." Following his speech, McCain opened thefloorto questions from the audience. With issues ranging from the Dream Act back to immigration, McCain admitted that while they may disagree with his stances, he was willing to sit down and discuss similar issues again. In conjunction with the convention, was the 2008 Latino Expo, which featured boothsfroma wide array of sponsored companies and organizations such as ConAgra Foods, Lowes, Latinos for Obama, and Estamos Unidos McCain. The four-day event clearly was a celebration ofLatino culture and the forty years spent by NCLR advocating the rights of a growing minority. In her speech at the convention, Murguia outlined her vision of a better America and the importance of the Latino vote on the upcoming election. "This is an historic election. It is not only historic for the make up of the candidates who are running; it is historic for the role we will play in it," the NCLR President and CEO said. "Sixteen weeksfromtoday, on Nov. 4,2008,1 promise you America will hear our voice loudly and clearly in state after state across this country." throughout the 4-day event. At various points in McCain's address, protesters in the crowd caused somewhat of an uproar. Adam Kokesh, a formal Marine corporal and Iraq War veteran, interrupted McCain's speech, yelling, "Ask him why he votes against vets", A prominent critic of the war in Iraq, Kokesh also displayed a large sign that said on one side, "McCain votes against vets," and on the other, "You c an't win an occupation." Security personnel apprehended Kokesh and released him shortly t hereafter with no charges. A group of code pink protesters were also escorted out of the convention after attempting to interrupt McCain's speech. The Republican crowd responded to these protesters by chanting "U.S.A." and McCain jokingly referred to the protesters as "the ground noise and the static." While McCain did not reserve criticism for Obama, he did say of his democratic rival, "Despite our differences, much more unites us than divides us. We are fellow Americans, an association that means more to me than any other." Of his new running mate, McCain remarked, "I'm very proud to have introduced our next Vice President to the country. But I can't wait until I introduce her to Washington. And let me offer an advance warning to the old, big spending, do-nothing, mefirst, country-second Washington crowd: change is coming." Having been confirmed as the vice-presidential nomination by a voice vote earlier that day, Palin said in her speech to the convention, "Mr. Chairman, delegates, and fellow citizens: I am honored to be considered for the nomination for Vice President of the United States...I accept the call to help our nominee for president to serve and defend America." Palin's speech included some barbs directed at Obama. Contrasting her experience as mayor of Wasila to Obama's experience as a community organizer, Palin said, "I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a 'community organizer,' except that you have actual responsibilities." The presidential candidates will meet later this month on Sept. 26 at the University of Mississippi's Gertrude C.

The CSUSM Career Center located in Craven Hall 1400 offers an endless amount of resources, personnel and opportunities to enhance every student's academic and f uture career. "The career center offers a lot of resources that students j ust don't take advantage of," said Pamela Santos, a student assistant at the career center.

Top 10 Storylines Tuesday\ September 9, 2008 BY LANCE CARTELLI Pride Staff Writer The long awaited opening weekend for the NFL has come to an end, there were some snoozers (Giants vs. Redskins) and some very dramatic games (Chargers vs. Panthers), sorry Charger fans, but a lot was learned from the first week of games. 10. The No Fun League. After officially getting his named changed to Chad Ocho Cinco from Chad Johnson, the NFL wouldn't allow him to have what will soon be the best selling jersey in the league on his back. Also, after scoring a touchdown against the Browns, T.O, known for his antics and touchdown celebrations, had a lackluster attempt mimicking Ussain Bolt, I'm sure they flagged him for his poor celebration rather than the 'excessiveness' of it. A VJ OA THE PRIDE 9. Rookie QB's starting career with victories. Falcons rookie QB Matt Ryan, who is absurdly making more money than Tom Brady, threw his f irst touchdown of his career it j ust happened to be in his f irst attempt ever for a 62 yard pass to Michael Jenkins, and he also got great support f rom newly acquired RB Michael Turner. Joe Flacco, not as impressive as Ryan, led his team to an upset victory over the Bengals, whose o ffense was abysmal. Both QB's give their team high hopes that their f ranchise may be t urning around. 8. NFC's Best Division. Everyone thinks it is the NFC East with all four teams playoff contenders, but don't count out the NFC South. The Saints beat defending division champion Buccaneers, the Panthers defeated a Superbowl contending team in the Chargers, and the Falcons won big, albeit against the Lions. 7. NFC Worst, oops the NFC West. There is no question which division is the worst in the NFC, with three of the four teams 0-1, including the Seahawks, who have won the division the past four years, 8-8 or 9-7 could once again win this division. The division includes perennial losers like the Rams, 49ers, and Cardinals, let's just root for my 49ers! 6.The Saints restoring hope in New Orleans.. .again. Just three years ago, the Saints went from being the 2 worst team in the league to a playoff team, but that was just their 2 best achievement from that season. They helped restore a city decimated by Hurricane Katrina. Now just a couple weeks after Hurricane Gustav, the Saints opened their season against the Buccaneers and came away with a victory to help New Orleans keep their minds off of another hurricane. 5. Preseason actually means something. There was some debate that in the future preseason may be cut down to 2 or 3 games, but it looks like teams need these for games with how rusty some of the highly touted teams looked. Teams like the Chargers, Colts, and Seahawks, who did not play their starters that much at all, all struggled through their games. 4. Playoff teams from last year losing. The Seahawks, Jaguars, Buccaneers, Redskins, and Chargers are all teams that made the playoffs last year and lost their first game. That is 5 out of the 12-playoff teams to lose. 3. The New York Bretts, I mean the New York Jets. Unless you were living under a rock for this past summer, all you heard was the 'Brett Farve Saga'. Now that the season's over you still won't hear the end of it, and with Tom Brady's season in question they have a chance at winning the division. Hmm, I am hearing something from New York—J-ET-S...BRETT, BRETT, BRETT! 2. Tom Brady's left knee. There are reports that Tom Brady has a torn ACL and will be out for the season. Without Tom Brady, the Patriots were a goal line stand away from going to OT with the Chiefs, the worst team in the AFC West. The Pats 20 game regular season win streak will be in jeopardy next week. 1. The mainstream media's obsession with Tom Brady's left knee. If you thought you heard a lot about Brett Farve, well you'll hear just as much about Tom Brady's knee especially until it is confirmed what is wrong with him. So avoid ESPN and the internet at all costs! by Guillerme Mitrovitch. Coming back from halftime, things did not look any better for the Cougars. In the 65 minute, David Alegria chased down a deep ball and passed it to Marchesani who scored easily, giving him an assist and a goal in the game. With ten minutes left in the game, the once quiet crowd, affectionately called the 'Blue Crew' for the Cougars team color, seemed to breathe new life into the Cougars, especially senior co-captain Greg Reese, who blasted a perfectly hit 25 yard shot to score the team's only goal. With just minute's left in the game, the Cougars brought their keeper, Tashi Nakanishi, from the goal to get an extra attacker. Nakanishi had the Cougars last opportunity and just missed a shot over the crossbar. In the Cougars second game of the week, they played a hard fought match against UCSD, losing in the late minutes 2-1 after being up 1-0 in the 85 minute. Although the score was 0-0 most of the game, the Cougars dominated from the start getting more shots on goal and more corner kicks throughout the game. In the 85 minute, Brandon Zuniga drew a foul in the box, which allowed for Christian Soares to score on a penalty kick to give the Cougars the 1-0 lead with just a few minutes left. "We were terrific," said Assistant Coach Bobby Renneisem. "We owned the game". But owning the game does not guarantee victory, in the 87 minute UCSD scored after a free kick near midfield that was played into the box and was eventually scored the equalizer by Aaron McDowell. Just minutes later in the 9 0 minute, Josh Jackson had a free kick from 30 yards out that was played into the box and Jared Kukura scored what would be the game winning goal. The Cougars fall to 1-3 on the season with their next game against Wed. at 4 pm against Azusa Pacific University at home. nd nd Men's Soccer go 0-2 in two close games BY LANCE CARTELLI Pride Staff Writer Coming off a heartbreaking overtime loss on Aug. 2 9 to Cal State Los Angeles, the Cougars looked uninspired until late in the game, where they came up just short in a fiery comeback losing 2-1 to Masters College.

That book is Fight Club. But not so many are aware that before Fight Club ever existed, Palahniuk had already written Invisible Monsters. Some might go so far as to say Invisible Monsters is Fight Clubs older brother... or sister. Chuck Palahniuk originally wrote Invisible Monsters, but when he tried to get it published all the publishers said "This is too graphic, we can't let this through." That's when Palahniuk decided to write the most graphic, disturbing novel he possibly could. That novel was Fight Club. In a weird twist of fate, the same disgust which turned publishers offto Invisible Monsters had them raving about Fight Club. Now an established author, Invisible Monsters was able to be brought into the world. To summarize Invisible Monsters without giving away too much, all I can say is nothing is as it appears. The story follows Shannon McFarland, a beauty model who gets her facerippedto shreds in a car accident. Wallowing in self petty, she meets the beauty queen supreme Brandy Alexander, whose ideology of beauty in modern society brings them on a sort of adventure the likes of which you have never, ever read before. A word of warning. While the storyline, writing style used, and the morals are all exceptionally brilliant, this book is a dark cynicism of modern society's views on gender roles, life, family archetypes, sexually, God and especially beauty. That's quite a list. Ifyou are easily offended by these topics, this probably isn't the book for you. But if you aren't offended, or are of curious nature and wish to hear varying opinions on any of these themes, I suggest this book wholeheartedly. With that said, it is rather graphic in it's description of many things, including the description of her face after the accident and the things girls will go through to acquire beauty. For girls, this book is about breakingfreeof the bonds society puts on you, especially in fields of beauty and sexual appeal. Guys, I suggest just enjoying the constant twist and turns of the book. And everyone well chuckle at the narrator's dark humor. Invisible Monsters has something for everyone, but just remember as you read: Nothing is as it appears.

The cancellation notice posted to the Global Affairs web page reads, “Due to unfore­ seen circumstances, the Oaxaca program has been cancelled.” On the same web page, which was updated the same day the program was cancelled, infor­ mation was posted stating that refunds would automatically be sent to students. However, on Friday, refund request forms were made available for stu­ dents to request their full refund online, or by going to the Office of Extended Studies personally. » >Article cont. on pg. 3 The CSU Reaches Tentative Agree­ ment with Employee Union By JAMES NEWELL Pride Editor As the deadline for the normal three-year cycle of con­ tracts approaches, the Cal­ ifornia State Employees Association (CSEA) and the CSU have reached a tentative agreement in negotiations. Although a 1.5 percent gen­ eral salary increase was agreed upon, the CSEA representatives still have about two months left in the contract cycle for more negotiations. The agree­ ment still needs to be ratified by the CSEA and approved by the CSU Board of Trustees. “For the first time I can remember, they (CSEA) have a tentative agreement two months before the former contract expires,” said Steve Wiener, media production specialist and CSEA chapter vice president. In the past, negotiations have lasted up to nine months past the renewal date. “I’m suspi­ cious that our (CSEA) bargain­ ing team gave up early,” said Wiener. The contract renewal comes at a time that is also host to many California state budget issues and a slow economy. Although Wiener mentioned satisfaction with some of the stipulations of the contract, he » >Article cont. on pg. 3 Power Surge Says Goodbye The Annaul Job Fair Photo Courtesy of Cindy Pollack By ALYSSA FINKELSTEIN Opinion Editor The Cal State San Marcos Career and Assessment Center (CAC) produced the university’s third annual job fair on Tuesday, April 23, with over 100 recruiters, employers, government agencies, and non-profit organizations. The turnout of the general public was nearly double than that of previous years, and CSUSM received phenomenal exposure from the surrounding commu­ nity with this year’s success. The job fair was geared toward the majors offered at CSUSM, and many government agencies answered the call. San Diego’s largest employer is the federal government, with Naval Base San Diego and Naval Sub­ marine Base Point Loma, as well as Marine Corps Air Sta­ tion Miramar and Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton all less than an hour’s drive from the CSUSM campus. The FBI was on campus, seeking foreign lan­ guage students, computer sci­ ence and accounting majors, as well as students with military backgrounds.

And for others, it was just a place to grab coffee. But for the past four years, Power Surge Caf6, on Twin Oaks Valley Road near Cal State San Marcos, provided a home away from home for quite an eclectic crowd, one which grew up with the cafe. That all changed on Friday, April 28 at 5 p.m. when owner Mark DuBois closed the doors forever after losing his parking lot permit from the city. “This is an overwhelming thing. I have realized how many lives we’ve affected — we’ve watched so many kids literally grow up here,” said DuBois. The cafe threw a “goodbye party” on Thursday, April 25, with live entertainment from local musician Lisa Sanders and other musical guests.

When I teach, I try to get students to under­ stand the ways in which we gain knowledge in our field, which means appreciating the scien­ tific method, the products of that method and the real-world appli­ cations of that method.” “I am lucky that my research program is one that allows me to introduce students to oppor­ tunities that are unusual and inter>»Article cont. on pg. 2 By MICHELLE CONSTANT Pride Staff Writer For those of us who have experienced the teaching style of novelist and professor of Litera­ ture and Writing, Duff Brenna, the fact that he was the one of the recent recipients of CSUSM’s President’s Award may not come as a surprise. “It’s good to have the sort of ‘at home’ validation that the President’s Award gives a writer,” said Brenna. “The ulti­ mate sense I get from the recog­ nition I’ve received for what the [President’s] award calls my ‘cre­ ative activity’ is both a humble pride . . . and a feeling of justifi­ cation,” Brenna said. Teaching at CSUSM since its doors opened, Brenna has inspired students not only with his passion for literature, but with his life story. “I was addicted to books from the time I was a babbling child, playing ‘books’ by pulling them from my mother’s shelves and piling them up around me and pretend­ ing I could read them,” he said. »>Article cont. on pg. 2 Professor DuffBrenna Photo Courtesy o f “Tracks” �The Boycott Is Coming!" By MARLINO BITANGA Pride Staff Writer Although Ambercrombie & Fitch’s Asian-themed T-shirts may have been removed from all of its 311 stores in 50 states after Asian-American groups nation­ wide complained that that the shirts were offensive and racist, the boycott is still coming. “I feel a boycott is necessary, not just by Asian-Americans, but by all minorities, because Cali­ fornia is a state of minorities and a reflection of the demographic future of America,” said Yale Kim, HTM business major at Cal State San Marcos. “Such acts of ignorance and racism must not go unchecked because the future of our diverse country depends on an understanding and respect for all backgrounds.” Mary Baladez, a Literature and Writing major, felt the same way. “The images on the shirts are offensive because they con­ tinue to relive the prejudices between people’s races, and people should not judge people based by association to certain images.” The controversy began when clothing maker Ambercrombie & Fitch released a new line of Asian-themed T-shirts, priced at $25, displaying cartoons of Asians in pointed hats along with slogans like, “Wong Broth­ ers Laundry Service: Two Wongs Can Make It White,” “Pizza Dojo: Eat In Or Wok Out,” and “Wok-N-Bowl: Chinese Food and Bowling” for the sole purpose of adding humor and levity to its fashion line. Not that many people were laughing. “Regarding the now famous image and caption, “Two Wongs Can Make It White,” people should understand that the laun­ dry business has historically been one of the entrepreneurial enter­ prises to which Chinese were drawn because of its low over­ head and need for minimum Eng­ lish language skills,” said Susie Lan Cassel, associate professor and associate chair of the Litera­ ture and Writing Department and coordinator for the Ethnic Stud­ ies Program at CSUSM. “When A&F makes fun of Chinese working laundries, they call to our attention a history of legal discrimination against Chinese, which, in addition, carries a pejo­ rative stereotype of Chinese as immigrant laborers.” Within the past week, numer­ ous complaints have been sent to the company, hundreds of protestors stood outside A&F storefronts in various cities, and Asian-American communities as well as student organizations from colleges throughout the United States have banded together to form a coalition to boycott A&F. The schools participating in and facilitating this student movement include Stanford, Northwestern, Wellesley, Roch­ ester, Duke, Harvard, Tufts, Amherst, Boston College, Bent­ ley University, Northeastern, Massachusetts Institute of Tech­ nology, Brown, Ohio State, Columbia, Indiana University, University of Maryland, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC Irvine, Cal State San Marcos, and more. “We, the Asian Pacific Stu­ dent Society at CSUSM, feel entirely disappointed and offended in A&F’s disregard for the Asian and Pacific Islander American culture and commu­ nity. The shirt clearly is an insult oil the history of our culture and past times,” said James Nguyen, president of the Asian Pacific Stu­ dent Society at CSUSM. “Even though the damage has been done, the situation can be some­ what fixed as best as possible, given the guidelines and demands are met to A&F’s best abilities. We fully support the efforts of the boycott of A&F and feel that an apology is most needed.” The demands for this national boycott campaign, which have been consolidated by student organizations from Stanford, Boston, Columbia, and North­ western, which represent stu­ dents nationally, state that A&F must: 1) Permanently remove the entire line of offensive “Asian” T-shirts. 2) Publish a public apol­ ogy from CEO Michael S. Jef­ fries in the form of a one-page advertisement in all major news­ papers. 3) Post this apology in all A&F stores, the main page of the website, and in the next issue of the quarterly catalogue. 4) Restore public image and mend relationship in the Asian Pacific American community and con­ sumers through increasing phi­ lanthropy and investment in the Asian Pacific American commu­ nity. In addition, we request that A&F work with us to create and hire a new Asian Pacific American consultant team to ensure sensitivity to minority issues. 5) Develop an educa­ tional and advertisement cam­ paign with positive images of Asian Pacific Americans and other people of color. This cam­ paign should promote the diver­ sity of our nation and encourage understanding of diverse cul­ tures and histories. 6) Encourage consumers to return the “Asian” T-shirts and guarantee uncon­ ditional refund with incentives such as vouchers or discounts on future purchases. 7) Implement and improve diversity training for all employees and diversify minority representation in its workforce. Despite the verbal apologies made by A&F spokesman Hamp­ ton Carney, and the removal of the “Asian” themed T-shirt line, Asian-American activists,1 stu­ dents, and professionals say the company must do more to pre­ vent situations like this from ever happening again. “The fact that those designs, not just one but a set of stereotyped and derogatory images of Chinese, could make it through countless design meet­ ings, numerous executive dis­ cussions, and innumerable staff members (many of them proba­ bly Asian) calls to our attention the need for continued education in the field of Asian American and Ethnic Studies” said Cassel. “As far as I’m concerned, this is not humor; it’s the tragedy of missed (or ignored) education.” Psychology Professor Receives P resident’s Award »>Article cont. from pg. 1 From dairy farming to dish­ washing to rug cleaning, Brenna worked his way through school. After a difficult adolescence, Brenna began his higher educa­ tion by taking classes at night and working during the day. No matter how busy he was, he always made room for lit­ erature. “I’ve never been with­ out books, never gone a month since my adolescent years with­ out reading at least one novel, and never considered for a moment living a life without my beloved authors lined up shoulder to shoulder on my shelves.” Speaking as a published author and lecturer, Brenna said that he is grateful to be teaching at CSUSM. “What I found when I came here is that I was trusted to know and do my job. LTWR is lucky in that it has had a series of first-rate directors, none better than Dr. Yuan, who is infinitely supportive and encouraging.” Brenna said that his secret to teaching involves both knowing and loving the subject he teaches. “I’ve been lucky over the years in having, on the whole, students who were exciting to learn and really wanted to talk about writ­ ing and literature,” said Brenna. When asked about teaching at CSUSM versus another school, Brenna said, “I don’t think there is any other college in the state system that has more superior teachers on its faculty (who were hired first of all because they were superior teachers) or can match the education a student will get here. And the thing of it is, and I mean this sincerely, we’re getting better and better every year.” Receiving teaching awards isn’t anything new to Brenna, who received the Outstanding Faulty Member award at SDSU in 1988, 1989, arid 1990 and was nominated for CSUSM’s Presi­ dent’s Award in 1995. Brenna has also received the New York Times9Notable Book Award in 1999 and the Associated Writing Program Award for Best Novel in 1990. GSUSM Holds Preview Day for Prospective Students By: SHERRITA COBBS Pride Staff Writer On Saturday, Cal State San Marcos held an event that wel­ comed prospective transfer stu­ dents and high school seniors. The students were given a pre­ view of programs that CSUSM has to offer. Several campus clubs and organizations were present, recruiting as well as fundraising. The admissions staff, Stu­ dent Residential Life, Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity, Alpha Xi Delta Sorority, Alpha Chi Omega and Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fra­ ternity all attended the event. Peer Educators and Support (PEAS), sold baked goods and Snapple at their table, the Pan African Student Alliance (PASA) brought out the grill and sold homemade monster tacos, the Asian Pacific Student Society sold Jamba Juice and the Latin World USA sold strawberry shortcakes. Although the above men­ tioned groups seized the oppor­ tunity to sustain their groups by fundraising, there were other groups that focused primarily on recruitment and getting their names known. The College Republicans, ASI Men’s Lacrosse team, the Progressive Activist Network (PAN), the Faculty Mentorship Program, ASPIRE, EOP, SASOP, and Priority Christian Challenge, also attended the event. Over 150 people attended, many of whom participated in a series of workshops that pro­ vided information on financial aid, admission requirements, and the soon-to-come student hous­ ing project.

Some encounters were less than pleas­ ant” said students Kelley Sim­ mons & Elizabeth philo. The event was entirely selfsupported and nearly $7000 was spent on production. Sandra Punch, director of the Career and Assessment Center, said, “Part­ nerships were key to maintain­ ing affordability and keeping the charge to employers lower than many other campus job fairs.” Based on “early bird” rates for employers, third-party employ­ ment recruiters were charged a fee of $200, general employers were charged $100, and gov­ ernment agencies and non-profit organizations reserved booths for only $50. After the March 22 “early bird” deadline, prices were increased to $300, $150, and $75, respectively. The prices were increased due to the added expenditures of the CAC having to add employers during the last couple of weeks. Punch said that many of the employers who called only days before the event were unable to reserve a booth because the fair was already at full capacity. The North County Inland and North County Coastal Career Centers sponsored the breakfast for employers on Tuesday morn­ ing, The North County Times provided advertising for the event free of charge and Enterprise Rent-A-Car provided free use of two shuttle vans. The event nonetheless carried Photo Courtesy o f Cindy Pollack some substan­ tial expenses. The tables, u m b r e l la s , chairs, and tablecloths were all rented, extra microphones had to be provided for workshops, additional communica­ tion radios had to be 4 provided for security and events personnel, and box lunches for the employers were purchased from the Power Surge Cafe. Post­ cards before the event were an expense, and thank-you letters after the event have to be purchased and supplied with post­ age. The parking situ­ ation, consistently a touchy subject for CSUSM students, was aggravated On Tuesday by hundreds of addi­ tional vehicles. The employers were charged the university’s standard $3 fee for a one-day parking permit, and they were supposed to park in the satellite lot by the Photo Courtesy o f Cindy Pollack San Marcos Ambulatory Care Center (SMAC) across the street. Parking for the event was free to the public, and Lot O was des­ ignated for public parking. Due to the huge attendance from the general public and apparent con­ fusion on behalf of the employ­ ers, Lot O quickly overflowed, overwhelming Parking Services with more vehicles than they had spaces. Punch said that parking on the dirt construction lots was not allowed because of insurance limitations. “Parking is a challenge on eivery single campus,” said Punch. “[Parking Services] does a won­ derful job with what they have to work with.” The California Center for the Arts (CAC) had been suggested as an alternative site, given the availability of both parking and facilities. The cost would have been the same for the job fair to have been held there, but Punch indicated that it was determined by the University and the CAC that CSUSM was a better loca­ tion. “People are realizing- that CSUSM is here,” said Punch. The admissions office had a table out­ side and was busy throughout most of the day with potential students. “The Job Fair was put together quite well this year, It was huge! I see many of the same employers at the various job fairs I have been to and most of them do interest me,” said Business student Sean Sunda.

This movie takes place in Central California, mainly in San Luis Obispo and Los Osos. The movie is about two high-schpol stu­ dents played by Ryan Gossling as Richard Haywood and Michael Pitt as Justin Pendleton. The two boys befriend one another after Haywood listens to a speech that Pendleton wrote about murder. The speech mainly delineates how easy it would be to commit a murder and not get caught. Pendleton thinks that this would be the ultimate act of freedom. While listening to this speech in class, the ultra-hip Haywood thinks it would be a good thing to confront Pendleton after school about his theories on murder. As Haywood has too much free time on his hands and comes from a very well-off family, he thinks that murdering someone will be ending. The movie also explores the ultimate act of enjoyment. Detective Mayweather in great After discussing the the- detail and shows her inner wor­ ries as well as her day-toones of REVIEW day struggles just to make murder, the highly unlikely pair set off to it to the next day.

Bull­ ock has been a great actress for many years now and can add “Murder By Numbers” to her list of successful ventures.

Simply Jeff Blends Various Genres of Electronic Music By MARLINO BITANGA Pride Staff Writer The uniqueness of music is that it has the power to take you places you wouldn’t expect to go. Simply Jeffs latest CD release “Breakbeat Massive,” on Moon­ shine Music, reinforces this phe­ nomenon. As a prominent DJ and pro­ ducer of Breakbeat music, Simply Jeff takes you on a musical expedition through his blend of breaks while incorporating the many sub-genres of electronic music, which include: the various sounds of groovy, head-nodding bass lines; dirty, low fre­ quencies that flow with catchy vocal riffs and scratches; up-tempo, rhythmic drumbeats; aggressive build-ups and breakdowns; and an array of synthesizing effects and delays The unbelievable sounds that emanate from this collection can be explained, as one minute you’ll be in a danc­ ing frenzy, and the next minute you’ll be experi­ encing a mental journey. I get a definite “Don’t sleep” kind of feeling from this 18-track CD compilation. REVIEW By EMILY KELLEY Pride Staff Writer Somewhere between my first Jack and Coke and my second beer, The Strokes hit the stage at 4th and B last Tuesday night. Their second San Diego concert in months, nouveau garage rock darling band The Strokes were widely panned by audience members at the original March date because of singer Julian Casablancas’ failure to perform due to drunken foolishness. With the record label forcing the band to perform a make-up show and issuing free tickets to everyone who bought tickets to the first show, this time around they had something to prove. While this show was by far more coherent, it had the dis­ tinct feeling of detention. The band clearly wasn’t expecting to be back so soon and didn’t show the verve of a voluntary musical release. Running through such radio staples as “Barely Legal” and “Try My Luck,” as well as live performance favorites like “Meet Me in the Bathroom,” the crowd was nonetheless very receptive. Cheering, screaming, and even “floating” fellow audi­ ence members, San Diego was satisfied with the much-touted New York band. With its hit single “Last Night” off the major-label debut album “Is This It?” local rock fans have been inundated with the catchy (if derivative) brand of strategically polished unpol­ ished music. The Strokes have gained so much popularity in the past six months that radio sta­ tions such as 92.1 and 91X have been prompted to play the sin­ gles until even devoted listeners have felt that they are so great and fantastic that not only could they not live another day with­ out owning the album, but that they will probably stick a knit­ ting needle in their ear if they have to listen to it one more time. The highlight of my night, however, came not from the rau­ cous rendition of “Take it or Leave it,”, or from my three Sam Adams’ buzz, but when I actu­ ally hit guitarist Albert Ham­ mond Jr. with my car. It was fantastic. This is what rock n’ roll should be. Staring out the window of your car as a rock star yells obscenities at you while you are trying to make a slick getaway after your male friend has just flung a gigantic bra (bor­ rowed, of course) at the singer outside of the venue. I really feel like we bonded. I will never forget the look on that man’s face as he stood with both hands on the hood of my Jetta and yelled “Hey...%$%*&...” I can honestly say that that is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. The Strokes put on a good show (when Julian is relatively sober). I recommend seeing them the next time they come around, which, incidentally, is April 30 at the Remak arena with Tena­ cious D. However, and this is a big however, if you do go, I recom­ mend: 1. Drink heavily 2. Under­ stand that they are just a product, and 3. Take a huge, well-worn, grubby undergarment with you. What could go wrong?

So, as I looked out on the where people come to drink. And drink they did. In fact, by the crowd, still teeming with booze time the Hips came on stage, and bluster, I was hopeful, yet at 11:45 p.m., the place had the skeptical, of the band’s ability to volume and collective stagger of turn even a few of this motley crew into the meek, enraptured a senior prom fans Bluhm had described.

It was 10 minutes into the show, and I had already heard three songs - three gems, really. There had been no excessive chatting between songs, no fussing or whining about technical prob­ lems, no Liam and Noel antics, no extended, free-form jazz odysseys to lull the natives to sleep - just superbly written songs performed soulfully and honestly. The rest of the night offered much of the same. In addition to songs from “Green Hills of Earth,” the band performed some of the new tunes Bluhm had men­ tioned earlier. While adhering to the brand of surprisingly sub­ stantial pop for which the Hips are known, new songs like “Deep Tim Bluhm Pride Photo/James Newell meaningful, artistic way. How then, does one try to convey intri­ cate musical sentiment to a bat­ talion-sized group of strangers who, for the most part, are hang­ overs waiting to happen? What can a band possibly expect from such a mob? Earlier, when asked what he looks for in an audience, guitar­ and the sort of Velcro-bound sneakers that might have war­ ranted a beating in third grade. Despite appearances, however, once the set started it was clear that these guys had an agenda. They began by firing off three songs in quick succession, starting with the falsetto pop of “Channel Island Girl,” a short, Space Team,” “Superscout” and “Feel the Rumble” were more contemplative and mid-tempo, nicely complimenting more rau­ cous covers like Neil Young’s “Red Tandy” and The Everly Brothers’ “On My Way Home Again.” Earlier, when asked about the their continued placement and Tim Bluhm P ride Photo/James Newell comparison with so-called “jam bands,” Bluhm said, “We don’t ever jam.” The Hips instead focus on well-choreographed songs built on deeply structured vocal harmonies, tight changes, and influences built through virtu­ ous songwriting from multiple personalities and a friendship that has lasted and grown from over 10 years of constant tour­ ing. As for the rest of the nomadic tribe of musicians, who say touring is made up of a lot more driving than playing music, about five years ago John Hofer took over on the drums and has been keeping the band in time since. In addition to his tight, clean drum playing, Hofer usually writes the set list, which keeps the Hips rolling through the extensive sets they play. And after recently losing long-time bassist Isaac Parsons, the Hips have been joined by long-time friend and producer of some of the Hips early record­ ings, Paul Hoaglin, who, as Bluhm said, “is. a freak and actually knows more Hips songs than we do.” “Right now we are playing from almost two albums of new material,” said Bluhm, which is a tribute to their creative prowess as they released “Green Hills of Earth” early in 2001. The Mother Hips play about 200 or more shows a year. Although they focus their energy mainly on the West Coast, they tour all across the nation and have recently added Chicago, India­ napolis, and Oklahoma to their arduous list of stops. When asked about the extreme diversity found on “Green Hills of Earth,” specif­ ically “Take Us Out,” which is a mellow, high-pitched harmoni­ ous song not unlike something Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys would be happy to sing and “Rich Little Girl,” a faster-paced song that could fall into many a cat­ egory of Rock and Roll, Bluhm commented with a slight grin that “not only were the songs written 10 years apart, but they were written by different people (Loi­ acono wrote “Take Us Out” and Bluhm wrote “Rich Little Girl.)” By the time the Hips walked off the stage, we had heard 25 songs in what seemed like 15 minutes. Don’t let me give you the impression that the Hips played a Ramones-style, 90-second song, rapid-fire sort of set, though. They played for about two hours. It seems that they’ve become so adept at constructing songs, and then arranging those songs into a set for maximum effect, that time doesn’t behave quite normally. Neither, for that matter, does the audience, for sure enough, Bluhm was right. When I look over the crowd towards the end of the set, they are there. Between the boy/girl squabbles, the awkward male bonding and impromptu belly dancing, the people whom Bluhm described are there, agape and intent, chant­ ing “Mother Hips” and crying for more even as the time neared the 2:00 a.m. witching hour. Some­ where along the line, they have gone from soused to serene - and wouldn’t have it any other way. Lisa “Left Eye” Lopez of TLC Dies in Car Crash By SHERRITA COBBS Pride Staff Writer While on vacation in Hondu­ ras, a place she often frequented because of its serenity, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopez (of the hip-hop trio TLC) was killed in a car acci­ dent while driving with seven others on Thursday. The death of Lopez was recently confirmed by public relations personnel at Arista Records. Lopez, was driv­ ing the vehicle and was the only fatality; none of the passengers were harmed. “No words can possibly express the sorrow and sadness I feel for this most devastating loss,” said Antonio “L.A.” Reid, president and CEO of Arista Records. “Lisa was not only a gifted and talented musical inspi­ ration, 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 for­ ever.” “We had all grown up together and were as close as a family. Today we have truly lost our sister,” said her fellow band members, Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins and Rozanda “Chilli” Thomas, in a statement for the press. Lopez will be remembered as a diva who often feuded pub­ licly and gained national atten­ tion for burning a house down in a subdivision in Alpharetta, Georgia, called Country Club of the South. Despite various challenges, the group maintained its staying power. Before her untimely death, Left Eye released a solo project last year called “SuperNova” and signed as a solo artist to Tha Row Records. Lopez was engaged to marry her longtime boyfriend, Andre Rison, in June, and TLC had been working on an album that was to be released this fall. Funeral arrangements in Left Eye’s hometown of Atlanta are still pending. However, there are no reports about whether or not her funeral will be public. *CNN.com and Hondurasnews.tv were used as sources for this article. �A D iet W orth of Your T im e By JESSICA KRONE Pride Staff Writer If followed correctly, this choice of lifestyle will clean your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well being you never thought possible. After only seven days of this process, you will begin to feel lighter because you will be lighter by at least ten pounds, possibly seven­ teen pounds, and have an abun­ dance of energy. This seven-day plan can be used as often as you like. Continue this plan for as long as you wish and feel the difference in both medical and physical disposition. Day One Your first day’s meals will consist of all the fruits you want to eat, except for bananas. For all you melon lovers, this is the day for you. Two fruits identi­ fied as containing fewer calories than most others are watermelon and cantaloupe. Should you choose the melon, your chances of losing three pounds in the first day will increase. As an added bonus, you can have all of the soup you want. Day Two Eat vegetables until you are stuffed with all of the cooked and/or fresh vegetables of your choice. Try to eat green, leafy vegetables and stay away from dried beans, peas and com. These vegetables are good for you but not if you are trying to reduce your caloric intake. You may also have a large baked potato topped with a stan­ dard portion (one tablespoon) of butter. Once again, you may have all of the soup you want. tent; however, you cannot have potatoes. Final Day Brown rice, fruit juice and vegetables are the choice to final­ ize this quick program. Eat as much as you want of these. It should be noted that the fruit juice should be unsweetened. On each day, you may drink all the beverages you wish such as coffee, black tea (unsweet­ ened), and diet soft drinks. Diet Food Ingredients: Vegetable soup 1-2 Medium onions 1 large celery stalk 2 packages dry onion soup mix 1 head of cabbage, shredded carrots, diced frozen string beans* 2 cans of whole tomatoes 2 Green peppers* *optional ** Can also add other vege­ table such as okra, red peppers, yellow peppers, red cabbage, and red onion. Use fresh basil, oreg­ ano, garlic and cilantro to add flavor. How to make the soup: Mix the dry onion soup with water (the box will include exact measurements) into the big pot. Toss the vegetables into the big pot and bring to a boil. Simmer until all the vegetables are tender. This soup can be eaten any time you feel hungry. Eat as often as you like. This soup will not add calories, so the more you eat, the more you lose. Low-Calorie salad dressing (1 quart) 1 pint of imitation sour cream Day Three Meals are the same as day 1 pint of low-fat cottage cheese one and two, except that you 2 packages of dry salad dressing cannot have a baked potato. Of mix. course, you may still have all of the soup you can stand. Day Four Mmmmmmm, bananas. You can eat as many as eight bananas and drink as many as eight glasses of skim milk on this day. Bananas are high in carbohydrates and will lessen your cravings for sweets. Yes, you can still eat the soup. Day Five You can have 10-12 ounces of beef and six tomatoes on this day. Try to drink at least eight glasses of water in order to wash away the uric acid in your body. You can also have all the vegetables and soup you want You may divide the meat between lunch and dinner. You may also have chicken, pork chops, ground beef or fish. All the meats must be lean and baked or broiled only. vegetables and ur heart is con­ Ch i o p i n o By JAMES J.

The press release claimed this event to be “.. .the largest job and resource fair in North County.” If you base this claim on one fact: the number of cars in our parking lots, then perhaps the news release is cor­ rect. The perfect slogan would have been ‘...the largest, most disorganized job and resource fair that we can possibly hold in the smallest space available in North County.’ It is no surprise that parking was a problem, we are all aware that parking will continue to be a problem until a formal parking structure is built or some other solution is proposed. The bigger issue at hand is the over-all plan­ ning of the Job Fair. Why is CSUSM hosting an event that is “free and open to the public” and includes “more than 100 employment representa­ tives and company recruiters” in our tiny Founders Plaza? It was so crowded that people were con­ stantly bumping into one another and on-campus clubs were forced to move down the staircase to the Dome Terrace. Maybe CSUSM should consider holding the job fair at the California Center for the Arts, as was the case for the Teacher Career Fair held earlier this semester. Or how about the Del Mar Fairgrounds? Which leads us into our next point. If CSUSM can comfort­ ably and safely host “more than one hundred representatives,” supply them with tables, chairs, and umbrellas and invite all stu­ dents and community members to attend (as announced in local newspapers), then a series of smaller Graduation Ceremonies could easily held on campus. The message is clear, if the Univer­ sity finds an event to be profitable, the University can make the space. Their goal was to make money. Each employment agency paid $150.00 to participate in this job fair (non-profit agencies were charged $75.00). Certainly, in planning this event one objec­ tive had to be fundraising. The Career and Assessment Center needed to cover the cost of tables, chairs and brown bag lunches. Yet, there are many, many small business and non-profit agencies that are unable to pay such prices. The students are not the focus. If they were the focus, CSUSM would not have charged such an outra­ geous amount of money. The goal should have been to present the students with the greatest number of employment representatives. Fundraising should be secondary. After looking into other North County job fairs, we sug­ gest that CSUSM follow Mira Costa’s lead. They may not host the “largest job and resource fair in North County,” but they are Editorial clearly pro-student. They ask all employers participating in their Career Expo to “make a sug­ gested donation of $50.00 towards the First Impressions Clothing Fund. First Impressions Boutique provides gently used career wear at no cost to students in need of career wear for employment.” Of course, the donation is tax-deductible. They will also be holding “student raffle drawings...[and employers] will be provided with a continental breakfast and boxed lunch at no cost.” We support the Mira Costa Career Expo, which will be held at their Oceanside Campus on May 2 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (One Barnard Drive, Oceans­ ide). German Instructor (and students) DISSED By ERIK ROPER for The Pride Author’s Disclaimer: I am the sole creator and instigator of the following words. The following is an excerpt of a conversation I heard in my German class a couple days after the Summer/Fall CSUSM course schedule came out: “Hey Frau Ronke, [German course instruc­ tor Astrid Ronke] who’s this Hughes person who’s listed in the CSUSM Fall schedule as being the one and only person teach­ ing German next year?” a stu­ dent asked Ronke. “What are you talking about? I haven’t been told I’m being replaced,” she replied with a mixed expression of equal parts worry, shock, and confu­ sion. The student did a double take, paused a moment (probably to assimilate the unanticipated response Ronke had just given), and then shakily continued, “Um . . . yeah well it says right here in the new class schedule that just came out that some person named Hughes is listed as teach­ ing German next Fall . . . and by the way . . . um, whatever happened to German becoming a minor?” Ronke didn’t reply right away, but sat there with a look of utter shock and defeat on her nor­ mally indefatigable face. Finally, she just shook her head, and, sounding much like an air mat­ tress slowly deflating, her expres­ sion instantly plummeted, and she resolutely expressed her frus­ tration by saying, “If this is what it says . . . well, I don’t know . . . this is news to me.” This conversation took place before class actually started, during that unfocused nether time when you’re just settling into your niche, taking your notebook out, etc. During this time, I usu­ ally just kind of like to daydream and put the finishing touches on whatever homework I’d procrasti­ nated doing the night before. But that conversation got my atten­ tion. Why? I’m so glad you asked. Ronke established the German program as part of the World Languages department here at CSUSM approximately five years ago out of nothing, against all the odds and with little or no support in the beginning. She is an instructor who is (and has been) dedicated, passionate, and who constantly sacrifices her own free time and energy for her students. She is an instructor who is highly respected and appreci­ ated by both her peers and her students. In 2000, she was nom­ inated for the Brakebill Distin­ guished Professor of the Year Award. She is an instructor who should be lauded with accolades and awards aplenty. Yet, she is not. Instead, she has been DISSED so effectively (I use DISSED instead of disrespected intentionally because I feel the latter word is too polite and doesn’t adequately convey the true level of, for lack of a better word, disrespect involved) that \\ Cal State San Marcos Logos Courtesy o f Joselyn Brown By MARLINO BITANGA Pride Staff Writer Is it just me, or does the new school logos (the Cougar) for Cal State San Marcos look like the logo from the cartoon she didn’t even find out she had been DISSED until weeks after the fact. The situation was not brought to her by her supervisor or anyone else she works with, but by her own students! How would you feel if you’d been working yourself to the bone for five years trying to do your very best at a job where you rarely received optimal support and they decide to “not rehire you” (read: FIRE YOU), and they don’t even let you know about it? How would you feel? Would you feel HUMILI­ ATED? Because the depth of how badly you’d been DISSED had been laid bare right there in front of your student!? Would you feel BETRAYED? By a hierarchy of leadership here at CSUSM that would tolerate such disrespectful and unprofessional conduct on the part of its language depart­ ment’s supervisor(s)? (I’m not sure how many were involved in this egregious oversight.) Would you feel DEFEATED? Knowing that ultimately, the reason you were getting canned was due', not to lack of merit or competence, but more than anything due to the fact that the World Languages department of CSUSM values a piece of paper (a Ph.D) over your ability to teach and inspire your students? (Ronke only has a Master’s). Would you feel WOR­ RIED? That word of how badly you’d been DISSED by the powers that be might cause people to doubt your reputation, your com­ petence, and/or your character? That's show “The Thundercats?” I feel like saying, “Thundercats Hooooooo...” every time I look at it. , Considering that our school has a visual arts program with very talented freehand and graphic artists, I wonder why the university decided to change this logo without even considering input or requesting submissions from students that go to CSUSM on how the new logo should look. And if they did, why didn’t we know about it? It is as if the administrators are dictating the way CSUSM stu­ dents correlate themselves with Or, maybe you’d feel WORRIED about the fact that you’d have to land a new job ASAP to sup­ port your family, and that you’d already lost multiple weeks that you could have used to conduct that search. Would you feel SAD? Not just about losing your job but about how people could be so MEAN, INCONSIDERATE, and HURTFUL. How would you feel? Please don’t misunderstand me; I’m not just spouting off like some anti-establishment yahoo. It’s just that, in the 10 or so years of my life where I’ve maintained some kind of job, I’ve learned that there are certain unwritten rules of conduct in the social contract that we’re all subject to, which must be adhered to when dealing with people. Being civil, courteous, and professional are critical ingredients needed to treat people with the respect they deserve. In this case, Ronke has not been treated with the respect she deserves. She has been DISSED in a most discour­ teous, egregious and unprofes­ sional manner. Personally, I feel highly disappointed and angry with whoever was responsible for this faux pas. I can say with certainty that there are a signif­ icant number of my classmates (and not just those in my German class) who feel the same way. I can only wonder how terribly our beloved instructor “Frau” Ronke must be feeling.. . . All I’m saying is this: Ronke got savagely DISSED and that Our the identity of the school. It is as if they are saying, “Ok here’s our logo . . . if you don’t like it, you have to live with it.” I feel that there could have been various ways of selecting the proper logo for our school. One idea could have been to create some type of contest, in which CSUSM students could participate and exercise the skills that we are paying for in contribu­ tion to the shaping of our campus identity. This would not only give students first-hand experi­ ence that they can notate on their resumes, but it could bring some sort of student life to our campus. was utterly WRONG. I feel that whoever was responsible for this situation should be (if they weren’t already) highly ashamed of themselves, should have a hard time looking themselves in the mirror, and should APOLOGIZE to Ronke IMMEDIATELY - via email, a real face-to-face talk, and a formal letter of apology to the editors of The Pride. I f Ronke must go, then at the very least, those responsible for this situ­ ation should allow her to leave CSUSM with her dignity and stellar reputation intact. The reason I think this should happen is because not only was Ronke DISSED, but her students, and actually, all the students of CSUSM, were DISSED. The money students are charged to attend this institution surely plays at least some small part in paying the paycheck of the person(s) responsible for this situation. Therefore, those responsible owe an explanation to the students of CSUSM. Furthermore, the administration of CSUSM, while only indirectly responsible for the indiscrete handling of this situa­ tion (because whoever’s in charge allowed it to happen on their “watch”) also, I would think, owe the student body some sort of explanation as to how this sort of disrespect could’ve been allowed to happen. I could go on and on, but I’m sure everyone gets my point by now. If you don’t or disagree, feel free to contact me at roper004@csusm.edu. Logo? One of the biggest complaints by students about our school is that there is nothing to do here. Well, if the university is trying to think of ideas, I think this could be one of them. Furthermore, the university’s failure to involve students in the decision-making process appears to be a precedent. How do you think these processes will shape the future characteristics of Cal State San Marcos? Next thing you know, our school colors will be hot pink and electric blue. Be realistic. There are approximately 6,600 students at our school. This is one-tenth the FF amount of the population com­ pared to other universities. Is it that hard to think of ways to get students involved on campus? As far as I’m concerned, one little drawing contest could make a real big difference for students with “nothing to do.” Cal State San Marcos �S eptember 11 Revisited By MIKE PARDINI Pride Staff Writer Just last week, the FBI released the horrific last moments of Flight 93. To refresh your memory, this was the flight en route to San Francisco from Newark. There has been much criticism lately whether to play the cockpit voice recordings or not. I take a firm stance that they should not be played for many reasons. The first being that if we were related to any of the 33 victims from the crash, we would have had our chance to go to that N.J. hotel and listen to those last moments with our loved ones. Since almost all of us don’t know any of the victims affected by this tragedy directly, why should we pry our noses where they don’t belong? Why should America the King of sen­ sationalism blow this up all over the news again? Americans are strong right now and will continue to be strong in the future. What would be the point to look back yet again? It should always be in our minds What happened on Sep­ tember 11 when America stood up for freedom. But we shouldn’t sensationalize it merely for rat­ ings or new gossip. How would you like to be part of a victim’s family and turn on the TV that night and .here your husband, dad, wife, or mom begging for their life for the world to hear? That is just simply not fair to bring the fami­ lies of the victims back into the spotlight yet again. America as a whole has suffered enough over September 11, and the last thing we need is for the media to get this recording just so they can raise their ratings. It's Just a Matter of Perspective...

Specifically in question are T-shirts depict­ ing Asian stereotypes. One such shirt reads, “Wong Broth­ ers Laundry Service: Two Wongs Can Make it White.” It includes a Caricature of two slant-eyed, con­ ical hat-wearing Chinese men. My initial reaction to these items was surprise. I like to think that my finger is on the pulse of the fashion world by making a point to read Gentlemen’s Quarterly (GQ) at the dentist’s office. But this new fad caught me off­ guard. I felt foolish for being slightly offended by the designs, especially so when a CNN poll reported that nearly 70 percent of respondents thought me T-shirts were not racially insensitive. So, who am I to argue with fashion? These days fashioii is all about irony. Kitschy a n d ‘retro’ are all the rage in style. It’s all about 80’s music, 50’s diners, Jason Shenmon, Senior Business Major: HTM “I felt that there was not enough diver­ sity of employers.” Shabby 70’s clothing and, apparently* 20’s bigotry. So, before you throw away the lava lamps, the Pat Benatar records or the out­ dated racial stereotypes, take a walk through the mall. You’ll be glad to know they’ve all made a comeback. Don’t worry, though; the A&F T-shirts aren’t racist per se, merely ironic - just a little irreverent, tongue-in-cheek jab­ bing, all in the name of fashion. If such a high percentage of people don’t have a problem with the Asian T-shirts, maybe we can look forward to possible future designs, like, “Uncle Tom’s Cabinwear: Be A Slave To Fashion.” Or maybe “Spic and Span House­ keepers: Mi Casa Es Clean Casa.” Better yet, why doesn’t A&F just sell John Rocker baseball jer­ seys? After all, it’s only satire, right? A&F representatives have said that the line of T-shirts was actually targeted to Asian con­ sumers. I’m interested to see how other ethnic markets are pur­ sued. African-American shop­ pers should be on the lookout for boxer-brfefs emblazoned with the confederate flag. The last thing I want is to be Chic seen as an angry, overly sensitive protester. That is so uncool. And uncool is unfashionable. Why else would Louis Farrakhan wear bowties? And on Thursday, it was these un-enlightened fash­ ion victims who eventually pres­ sured A&F to take the T-shirts off the shelves. But not before sales of the product rose substan­ tially. A few of the items made it onto eBay, where the top bid reached $130. Maybe The Gap or Banana Republic can pick up where A&F left off, continu­ ing to make racial stereotypes acceptable and even desirable. All of us who didn’t make it down to the mall in time to buy one of the T-shirts will just have to remain a half step behind those trendsetters who did. But hey, fashion is fickle; maybe tomor­ row racial harmony will be in vogue. But if style is ironic, I guess that would make^it racist. Whatever the case, I’m sure that Abercrombie & Fitch will con­ tinue to keep my wardrobe on the cutting edge of fashion and ignorance. Abercrombie stock was up on Thursday. Ahh, irony. �10 Tuesday, O pilU O Il April 30, 2002 The Pride A Followriip to “Did Muslim-Americans Pay Lip Service to 9 11 ” /? By DAVID YANAGI Pride Staff Writer I’d like to take an opportu­ nity to clear up a few things about “Did Muslim-Americans Pay Lip Service to 9/11?” (April 16), which has generated a heated response both in The Pride and with some students who have taken issue with me in person. The intention of my article was not to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but rather to use it to point out what I see as a glar­ ing contradiction in how Mus­ lim-Americans have reacted to suicide bombings in the Middle East versus last September’s ter­ rorism in the United States. The aim was not to perpetuate a perceived ‘bias’ in the media against the Palestinians by avoid­ ing injustices against them at the hands of Israelis. I did not explore such acts, as they had no bear­ ing on the point I was making. Had Jews crashed airplanes into the World Trade Center and Pen­ tagon in the name of Judaism and in retaliation for US foreign poli­ cies, then the angle of the article would have been reversed. Whether or not many Mus­ lim-Americans ‘paid lip service to 9/11’ is not something that I or anyone else can answer com­ pletely. The focus was meant to be on the validity of the ques­ tion itself. And based on every­ thing I’ve seen and heard these past months, it is a legitimate and well-founded inquiry. Just last Monday, Middle East Newswire, a popular news source within the Muslim-American community, ran yet another article justifying terrorism (“In Defense of Suicide Bombers”) in which the author parallels suicide bombers with defenders of the Alamo and World War II D-Day soldiers. This isn’t coming from extremist, underground journal­ ists, just one’of many mainstream articles supporting this, philoso­ phy. Have there been any letters from angry Muslims condemn­ ing such a stance? No." I wish I could say this was an isolated incident, but unfortunately the more I search, the more I realize just how many people in this country either share these views or are utterly indifferent to them. I do not have any problems with Islam. The Koran actually has much in common with my own religious beliefs. My prob­ lem lies in the passiveness within the Muslim-American commu­ nity. If Muslims in this country truly regarded all terrorism as evil and immoral, why do so few strongly §peak out against those, within their faith, who con­ tinue to push such an agenda? They speak out to the non-Mus­ lim public but not to each other. Why do anti-Semiti^ Zionist books and leaflets sit unchal­ lenged on the shelves of mosques and Islamic bookstores? Many Muslims remain silent while an extremist minority continues to grow. Steven Emerson, terrorism expert and author of the book “American Jihad: The Terrorists Living Among Us,” spent years chronicling the thousands of ter­ rorists living in the United States today. Terrorist cells and mil­ itant groups with connections to mosques all around the coun­ try are, apparently, not a big secret within the Muslim-Ameri­ can populace. As these extrem­ ists pervert the words of the Koran, why aren’t the majority of peace-loving Muslims-vocal in keeping these groups from recruiting and fundraising within their place of worship? If there are many who don’t care enough to take a stand against these people, are we to believe they’d ever shed a tear over terrorist action that may eventually take place because of it? Just as those who are critical erf the Catholic Church’s current problems are not necessarily antiCatholic, I am not anti-Muslim for taking issue with some of those in our Islamic population. I am close friends with a great many Muslims from around the world - a statement which is of course a cljche when defend­ ing oneself against accusations of prejudice. But I mention this only to make clear that I’m not merely reaching conclusions without an active dialogue with those within the religion. Frankly, it was these conversations that initially pushed me to question public views I found in stark contrast to what was being said in private. In his letter to the editors last week, Civan Erman Gokcimen accused me of using my article* to “brainwash a few thousand college students” - an idea that is both misguided and insulting to the free-thinking people that embody this university. It was also inaccurately pointed out that Yasser Arafat is a Christian. For the record, he is Muslim, his wife is Christian. However, using Arafat’s religion, or his wife’s, as a basis for saying that it is “a very uneducated assumption to think of this dilemma [in the Middle East] as a conflict between Juda­ ism and Islam” is naive, though not completely incorrect. More accurately, it could also be seen as a conflict between Israel and those who wish Israel to be erased from the map. The same anti-Semitism that could be stirred by the passage from an “interview with a commander in the Israeli army,” which Mr. Gokcimen ‘presumes’ to be the words of Ariel Sharon. Mr. Gokcimen denounces “playing a cheap blame game,” then contin­ ues with an extensive rant that does just that. If you are truly “sick and tired of hearing the same crap over and over about who is to blame” then why not refrain from producing more? I also want to clarify my “pointing the finger at a particu­ lar ethnic group” as Carol Stern stated in her letter. First of all, Islam is a religion, not an ethnic­ ity; Muslims are not confined to a particular ethnic group. Other­ wise, yes, I am pointing a finger in some regards, but not at the religion, xather at some of the participants. And the idea that we should “forget who is at fault” only puts us at a higher risk of letting history repeat itself. Within a week or so of 9/11, I noticed a great many Muslims with American flags attached to their cars. J had passed this obser­ vation on to a Muslim, expressing how great I thought it was that they show their support. He then told me of how it was common knowledge within his mosque, one of the largest in San Diego, that Muslims display flags - not primarily out of support but for safety reasons. The idea that an American flag may dissuade someone from performing a hate crime, in light of some idiotic assaults against Muslims, I cannot necessarily disagree with such a plan. I men­ tion this story not to make a case for Muslims being unpatriotic, but to illustrate that you can’t always take everything at face value - otherwise, America owes the Taliban an apology, for they too condemned 9/11.

To the editors: After reading the April 16 issue of The Pride, I had to wonder why I bother defending the intellect of the students in the CSU system to my friends and family who have attended more prestigious universities. I have only read our school newspa­ per a handful of times, and each time I expect to come away with some information of substantial content. Now, I’m not saying the entire paper is fluff, as some of the writers are obviously destined to be journalists, but do I really need to know what each member of a group was wearing when they went out at night during Spring Break? (“Spring Break Packs action in Rosarito”) With both of this writer’s (and I use this term loosely) articles, the moment by moment account of his experience seemed more like a postcard to a buddy than a true entertainment-based journalistic report. I realize Spring Break is an important event in many col­ lege students’ lives, as it once was in mipe, but I think the writers should realize who their audience is. The student body at Cal State San Marcos consists of many age groups, with a large majority being over the age of thirty. Don’t get me wrong. Community, legal, and campus cause-related hap­ penings are all very interesting and enjoyable to read, but it would be nice to see some articles deal­ ing with more serious issues happening on and off campus. There is so much going on in this big world that is or could ultimately affect each of us as adults, which I’m assuming we all are. How about some articles that tie in with some larger issues? If CSUSM is to be ever considered a “real” univer­ sity, rather than just a step above junior college for the local commuters, then we’d better start acting like one.

Reed Chancellor The California State University 400 Golden Shore LongB e a c h ,CA 90802-4275 Re: Paid Ad, THE PRIDE, 4/9/02 Good Morning Chancellor Reed: I would like to respectfully request that you contact your counterpart at the CA Dept of Public Health to ascertain whether the retaliatory measures against me, (denial of benefits while on disability leave) are common to all campuses or are restricted to me & CSUSM. If the latter, I would like to respectfully request that you contact your counterpart at the CA State Attorney GeneraVs Office, andfind out if this immoral, unjustified and unwarranted retaliation (by mgmt-type staff members) does in fact date back to 8/20/92. This is when I went to my alleged supervisorfor help with a serious problem in the warehouse. He did not go into the warehouse. He did not get out of his chair. HE DID NOT LOOK ME IN THE EYES. But he did deny that there was a serious problem in said warehouse. In addition to the retaliation, I have witnessed, in my personal opinion and in my presence, DISCRIMINATION, ABUSE OF POWER, AND A LARGE LOSS OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS. As an irate taxpayer, I take umbrage at this preventable brouhaha. As such, I would like to find out, if in fact, there has been collusion and/or conspiracy by CSUSM mgmt-type staff members, against me and if so, is this fraud upon the taxpayers because o f the amount of tax dollars wasted. Additionally, please investigate if my termination, while on disability leave and my forced retirement is in fact illegal orjust mere sick retaliation. The truth cannot be denied, Chancellor Reed. I, or if necessary, my estate, intend to see justice served. I look forward to working with you and assorted agencies to put closure to this attempted insulting, derogatory, and dehumanizing of me as a human being. Itis really pathetic when an ex-employee has to address the Chancellorfor redress. PS: My career stopped on that same 8/20/92. Regards Michale C Hardick 1341E.

The question is what can we do about i t Certainly we can't go about our lives without transportation, nor should we have to. There is always the alternative of public transportation. However, while it is an alternative, public transportation, which, also generally runs on petroleum has also become subject to rate increases due to inflated gas prices. The first solution that pops into many Americans' minds is to boycott buying gas on a pre-determined day. While I won't claim that this has no ill effect on the gas companies, what have we really accomplished? The fact of the matter is that in order for us to avoid gassing up one day of the week we are going to have to pump even more gas either before or after said boycott. So I ask, what is accomplished if you are ultimately pumping the same amount of gas. Not to mention that in the wake of past gas boycotts we commonly see gas companies and OPEC nations raising prices immediately following the boycott to make up for any potential profit losses and to no doubt show the consumer and western countries, who is really in control. Here are a few tips I came across to help you get the best value for your gas dollar, the last thing you want to do is waste away that $4 a gallon liquid When filling at the pump, set the nozzle trigger to the lowest speed, thereby creating a minimum amount of vapors. Gas pumped at a high speed into your tank has a far greater chance of becoming gasoline vapor, vapors that you just paid for are being sucked back into the underground storage tanks and resold. The idea being, to get as much fuel into your tank as possible, while creating as little vapors as possible. Fill up when your tank is half full, by minimizing the amount of air in your tank you are further eliminating the possibility for the gas to evaporate into excess air. When filling up try to do so in the early morning, when its cold out. All gas stations have underground storage tanks and in the morning the ground temperature is at it's coolest. Like most liquid substances, when gasoline is cool its density increases. Keeping in mind that while gasoline is denser when cool, it in turn, expands when warm. So by filling up in the late morning or afternoon when the ground temperature has increase you will most likely be getting less than an actual gallon per metered gallon. Now this is all well and good for getting the most out of your gas dollar, while the consumer still is for the most part rendered helpless. Lets face it— we as a society for better or worse rely on our cars for daily life. By not buying gas, as the consumer and the oil compa- nies well know, we end up hurting ourselves far more than we could ever impact the oil industry. The power we do have as consumers is to choose from who we buy our gas. The idea being that if consumers avoid making purchases from the larger gas companies, Shell, Exxon/Mobile, Chevron/Texaco, they will be forced to lower prices. When the industry giants lower their prices the smaller, independent gas companies will have to follow suit. Unfortunately in this case one person can't make any kind of difference. For any kind of result or effect to be felt by OPEC and their American oil company bedmates, consumers nation wide need to act. Your alternative to action is grabbing your ankles and wait for $5 a gallon this summer, then drop to your knees and prey for divine intervention, the only likely way the oil industry would be inclined to stop gas prices from rising without consumer action. Any action is better than inaction. Church's Influence on Sports NHL P layoffs s et t o b egin Kane and Jonathon the true answer came when AlexanToews.

Stanley Cup It is never too early to say who the clear favorites are going into the playoffs. I believe that the winner will come out of the West once again, but you never know in the best of seven series. However, I still feel that the Ducks are going to do what they do best and that is shut down top scoring line after top scoring line in order to win the cup. However, the San Jose Sharks do have home ice against the Ducks and have become the team to beat heading into the playoffs. With the Sharks and Ducks facing off in the Western Conference final, I would predict that the Eastern Conference final will match up the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers. And I will stick to my preseason prediction of the Anaheim Ducks sweeping the Flyers in the Stanley Cup Finals. Any questions or comments can be sent to churc009@csusm.edu or pride@csusm.edu. It is j ust a g a m e BY BILLRHEIN Pride Staff Writer There is nothing more relaxing after a hard day of classes than to wander off into the fantastic realm of video games. Moreover, nothing is more annoying than someone who complains while playing video games. Players who insist on shouting every time they feel the game systems has wronged them belong on the same level of frustration as those who talk aloud at the cinema. First, shouting will get a player nowhere. As technologically advanced as it is, the XBOX 360 system cannot hear you. If the enemy kills you in "Call of Duty," even though you think you got a headshot, complaining about it does not make a difference. The game goes on and the player has another chance. Swearing and bellowing, "no way!" does not take away what just happened. The effect of shouting is on others nearby. Fellow players and people nearby often do not sympathize when a game does not go as expected. They may not be willing to admit it, this racket is bothersome and a waste of time. In the big picture, these other people do not care if the player really did hit all the notes on "Guitar Hero." Gamers have linked unpopularity to people who whine while playing. Often the case in games like "Halo" is that a grenade that was not seen kills players or because shots from the Battle Rifle were not as accurate as thought. Yet this is where most complaining occurs. Most games are advanced enough dispense damage fairly. However, there are occasions where the game glitches and something occurs unjustly. Players must keep this is mind and consider that they too might have been helped by a error at one point. What goes around comes around. Possibly the most annoying brand of complaints comes from instances where players moan about being truly bested. In this world, fate gifts some people in areas more than others are. When beaten by someone of greater skill, one should gracefully admit defeat, rather than complain that the other person is a nerd who only plays that game all the time. Even thought there is resentment against those who are experts, other players would like to have that skill if possible and are just upset they are not as good Even though pressure may be overwhelming, players should remember video games are just games. Complaining does not better the person and it only ruins the experience for others. �UIVJJ/O FEATURES THE pride L Ljr\L Tuesday, April 8,2008 Tliesïtey April 8 • Monday April 14 8:00 a.m. Info table for the US Marines Còsta Rica Information A CD 102 1 2:00 p M * Sexual Assault Awareness F örum P l à ^ l ^ ^ S ^ i B 1 2:00 p«ni» Jgj ^^^^ffipeezway/Terrace g ASJYoga Bite p i t of Ihe Budget 3 Plaza S fts&tt 8:00 Cougar Bazaar & Student Fundraising Week ^Keilogg Plaza Friday April 11 1 0 1 Bag Football iífngrm F j Ä l ^ 12:00 p.m. SOOjxtii.

"The letter was prompted by discussions with students (both at CSUSM and at my children's school) about Huerta and Chavez. Over the years I have been teaching, many students have asked why Chavez is honored with a holiday, statues, etc and Huerta is forgotten," said Wilson. "I was motivated to think about how, on a local level, we could honor Huerta and decided a movement to t ry and put a statue of her alongside Chavez would be a good way to honor her work and give her the rightful place she deserves next to Chavez. Also, as Chavez day is supposed to be a day honoring community service, I think the idea of using the holiday to serve underrepresented communities (like the predominantly Latino, dual-immersion school I visited on Thursday) is in keeping with the purpose of the day — to inspire service and activism to change one's community for the better." Dolores Huerta worked alongside Chavez, fighting for the rights of farm and field workers, immigrants, and migrant workers. "Although Chavez has been framed as the ' father' of the farm workers/Latino rights cause, she (Huerta) is just as important as him. Yet, in keeping with our patriarchal culture, we honor the fathers and forget the mothers," said Wilson. Wilson plays an active role in the Women's Center and Women's Studies department in addition to the Literature and Writing department. Earlier this year, CSUSM recognized Wilson under its February Faculty Achievements for her many publications including a chapter, "Womb Fiction: Late Twentieth Century Challenges to the Woman as Womb Paradigm," H §ll§ll9 M 8 & 8 i 0 : 3 0 Ss *a i THE PRIDE importantly, though, is the message that the CSUSM campus community does not condone sexual assault and is actively working to stop it. H opefully we'll get a good t urn out so the message is loud and clear." Following the information f air all in attendance are invited and welcome to walk together without fear to symbolize the end of the victimization of women. history, we hope that you will please consider putting a statue of Huerta next to the Chavez statue." "She should put a statue next to the other one of Chavez that is the same size and not smaller or behind Chavez," added third grader Naomi C lift. When asked why Huerta should also have a statue, third grade student Oscar Garcis replied, "They worked together as a team, and they were equally important in the fight for f arm workers rights." The experience proved enlightening to Wilson, having received skepticism from educators over whether or not the issues discussed would be too complicated for young students to comprehend. "These kids proved that they do understand and can grasp the injustice of the way in which our world judges people based on skin color, monetary earnings, or on whether they are male or female. They were really in Women in Anglophone Literary Culture: Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Perspectives Ed. Robin Hammerman, Cambridge: Cambridge Scholars Press, 2007. In her discussion with students, Wilson cited many important women in history including Coretta Scott King, Rosa Parks, Eleanor Roosevelt, Mary Wollstonecraft, Pocahonatas, Sacajawea, Mary Shelley, and J.K. Rowling. To end the discussion, Wilson discussed the achievements and advancements made throughout history to help women attain their rights, adding that letters and petitions are ways of evoking change. Students then collectively d rafted their letter for Haynes stating, "We, the students of Valley Elementary feel* that Dolores Huerta deserves to have a statue next to Cesar Chavez. They both worked together; she was j ust as important as he was. In order to honor her and women's excited to learn about feminism and important women," said Wilson. "I would love to see CSUSM student organizations get involved in trying to make the statue a reality. We have so many vibrant groups and passionate students on this campus from MECHA to the Black Students Union to the Women's Center, the LGBTQ center, the Cross Cultural Center, and Women's Studies Student Association. With their help, and the support of faculty and departments, it seems that even in this time of horrendous budget cuts, we could direct our energies towards honoring a woman who so valiantly fights for social justice." Any students interested in f urthering the movement on campus can follow the advice of Valley Elementary student Georgia Gilmore, "Students at college should sign a petition and show it to President Haynes to show their support of the statue." mat a|l:iil|l|il S From NIGHT, page 1 higher education and stop student fee increases," said Cervantes. "Over 3.2 million students at the CCC, CSU and UC will be adversely affected by $1 billion dollars in cuts to higher education," said SSCCC President Frank Fernandez of Imperial Valley College. "With the help of UCSA and CSSA, we are organizing our peers at over 100 CCC campuses across the state to take action on 4-21-08." Current information can be found online at CSUSM's Budget Central: www.csusm.edu/plan/ budgetcentral or at the Student's for California's Future website: www. studentsforcaIifornia.org. at 8:00 a.m. with a march through Capitol Mall. After the march there will be a press conference hosted by CSSA to talk about the proposed budget and other support efforts happening throughout California's education system. "Students for California's Future" encourages all students on all other California campuses to rally together and take a stand for their education. "CSSA will be working with student leaders on each of the 23 CSU campuses, as well as at the UC and CCC campuses to analyze the proposed budget, and empower all students to hold elected officials accountable to fully fund public lì. i 3/24/08 4 a ftf 1 ¡ m » p ff^^«ss'c^)at(aiê<lt3 Lc|D;for t h e l a c e ; ^ groin/ '  U f e e r w ^ ^ J f e ^ - « ôffflie water based paint. a nopeakottle ' Pan -rime ahd*fo|iad the - 1 of liquor.

There is no denial among researchers that autism has reached pandemic proportions because of some unknown change occurring in current generations. In 2003, Florida congressman and physician Dave Weldon reopened a previously discarded debate on whether thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative used in common vaccines in the United States, may cause autism. Some parents of autistic children claimed their babies and toddlers were developing normally then suddenly became unusually withdrawn within hours of receiving a routine round of pediatric shots. As promising as it sounded, multiple studies have repeatedly failed to present a connection between thimerosal and autism. Other researchers have theorized that widespread illegal drug use in the 1960s and 1970s somehow broke into the genetic code of humanity and altered the fundamental structure of DNA. Some public health agencies like the CDC and FDA once even thought that preservatives or pesticides in food contributed to the ever-growing problem. Science's unanimous conclusion that drug use is h armful still could not account for any con- sistent DNA change, nor could the FDA conclusively prove that preservatives produce immediate harm in the consumer. The only known facts in the world of ASD are of the disease's frequency and questionability. Those affected with ASD may find comfort in the Autism Society of America's support groups and throughout the States. The local chapters reach out to those with the disorder and families linked to autism. The Autism Soci- iifièfil mttm I ifkt ety of America also collaborates with many other organizations like CARD, the Center for Autism and Related Diseases, NARPAA, National Association of Residential Providers for Adults with Autism, and WAO, the World Autism Organization.

On his way to a dinner at the Rev. Samuel "Billy" Kyles' home with several of his political aides—only four of which whom are still alive—as history will never forget, it's no secret that MLK never made it to that dinner. Shot by James Earl Ray, MLK's assassination devastated fellow civil rights leaders, communities, and the nation as a whole as it embarked upon a very fragile and controversial time in U.S. History. Forty years later, MLK's legacy and dream still lives on. From his infamous words delivered to a Memphis congregation on April 3, 1968, the night before his murder: "We've got some difficult days ahead, but it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop..." MLK's ideals and hopes for America inspired generations. In 1963, MLK's March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom was a milestone for all Americans and the pursuit of civil liberties, as it was a turning point in U.S. History. It was during this march in which MLK delivered his famous "I have a dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to more than 200,000 civil rights supporters. MLK not only fathered the birth of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, but also rallied the 1965 Voting Rights Act, both of which Lyndon B. Johnson made sure passed when he took over the role as President after the assassination of JFK.

Additonally, to learn more about MLK, please visit thekingcenter.org, a center established by Coretta Scott King in 1968 to carry on the legacy of her husband and educate the future generations of civil rights leaders about MLK's dream. �The Pride Goes on Spring Break Adam Lowe yjedoesW'*1 Went down to a little Mexican beach town called La Mission south of Rosarito.

As of March 30th 2008, the EU-US so-called Open Skies agreement o fficially goes into e ffect. The agreement opens up the t ransatlantic market to more f ree-market competition. More competition among a irlines will allow for more business o pportunities for airline companies and more choices for travelers. B efore the Open Skies agreement, f lights between the U.S. and Europe were governed by s eparate, individual agreements made between the United States and c ertain European n ations. The previous p acts made it m andatory for airlines to t ake o ff or land in t heir native c ountries, and also limited which a irlines could p rovide service to c ertain a irports. Now, with the new agreement in e ffect, it allows for a much more level playing field among all the companies serving the t rans-Atlantic market. With t his new level playing f ield comes many b enefits. For i nstance, British A irways will be launching a new airline called OpenSkies that will p rovide nonstop service f rom JFK to P aris, B russels, and Amsterdam. Many other airlines such as A ir France, Continental, Delta and Northwest will be opening up new f light options and b egin s erving many new p orts according to the New York Times. With many new players in the m ix, airlines will begin an all out s kirmish that will create many more travel options and possibly lower p rices for customers. With the f reedom to provide service to new locations, airlines will begin to schedule f lights to all new locations. Heathrow, one of E urope's most popular may be the location with the biggest increase of usage with new s ervice f rom airlines such as C ontinental, Delta, and N orthwest for t he f irst t ime. Later t his year, many airlines plan to add daily service to Heathrow f rom many U.S. cities such as Detroit, M inneapolis, and Seattle. As previously mentioned in the New York Times, according to J erry Chandler, author of cheapflights.corn's travel blog "We d on't even begin to get a glimmer of the possibilities of an open-market competition yet," Chandler has been t racking the open-skies agree- ment f rom the b eginning and says " there could be a lot of f lourishing of routes in markets that currently d on't exist, especially f rom smaller U.S. cities to E uropean hubs." So it seems that the new Open Skies agreement will benefit everyone involved but the b urning question still remains. Will it really lower a irfare prices for trans-Atlantic travel? Although it is unclear at this point, a study done by a consulting firm called Battle Group revealed that the new agreement should put pressure on airlines to reduce fares by 4 to 10 percent. As for the rest, it will be interesting to see how the new open market plays out of companies and travelers alike.

Think you're all done and ready for your second year of college? Well, u nfortunately there is j ust one more require- ment that all first-year students must finish before they r eturn to Cal State San Marcos for their second-year, and that is the Computer Competency Requirement (CCR). The CCR is a four-part test that evaluates students on their proficiency in varying computer related pro- grams and ethics. This test is geared toward testing the proficiency levels students in the use of basic word processing, spreadsheet concepts, basic internet use, and knowledge in v irus & ethics. Although it may sound like a lot of information to the not-so tech savvy, rest assured that I nstructional & Information Technology Services provides all the necessary study materials and tutorials to help with preparation. All this study material can be found on their website found in the "Technology" link in the Will Global Warming D estroy the E arth? W hat does the Bible say?

And with the pending end of this spring semester, there is not much time l eft to take this test, although the library provides adequate hours to help students find the time that best suits their schedule. Until May 9th, students are able to able to take the exam on Friday, 10 A M to 2 PM and Saturday, 10:30 AM to 2:30 PM in Academic Hall 202. The CCR may also be taken at the Cal State San Marcos Southwest Riverside campus if it so conveniences students in that area. As well as study guides, Cal State San Marcos also provides a course (CS 100) that may be taken throughout the semester to help those that prefer to take a class as opposed to the test, and upon successful completion of the course, the student satisfies their Computer Competency Requirement. Not to mention that the four p arts that make up the test may be taken separately and at the will of the student. Each p art takes about 30 minutes to complete, which means that students don't have to sit for long periods of time to finish this test. With all the services to help students f ulfill this requirement, the only t hing hindering the completion of t his test is the s tudent's level of procrastination. �Sign-ups still open for powder puff football BY AMANDA A NDREEN Pride Staff Writer Boys in skimpy cheerleader outfits with makeup and pom-poms and girls in football gear with face paint and matching shirts are usually the images that come to mind whenever the term "Powder P uff' is mentioned. Sure, there are probably plenty of Facebook and Myspace pictures out there of just that too—but now all CSUSM students can participate in and witness such a spectacle firsthand. The time is now CSUSM, when all the females on campus have the opportunity to kick some Powder Puff butt. Sponsored by ASI Campus Recreation, this month the annual Powder Puff Football event and tournament begins Friday, April 11, and continues the next Friday, April 18 from noon to 4 p.m. The event and the games will take place on two designated fields at the lower field located on the corner of Twin Oaks Valley Rd. and Craven Rd. Signups are open at the Clarke Field House in FH 119 through Friday the 11th at 12 p.m. However, space is limited as only the first 12 teams to register can participate, so for those interested, don't wait too long, or the only available spots will be the ones at the sidelines watching. To register a team, at least three people from a team need to be present, and one of those three present needs to be the team leader. There can be eight people on a team plus a coach. Teams are encouraged to have coaches, so feel free to invite a boyfriend, brother, friend, husband, or classmate to coach a team. Once a team is registered, the rest of the individuals on the team can stop by the Clarke anytime to add herself to the roster. Registration for the tournament costs $5/person, but if CSUSM Softball s taying s trong down t he s tretch a registrant has participated in any intramural activity previously this year and already paid the $10 fee for the year, then registration is free. There will also be a "Free Agent" team with an open roster for anyone who does not have ateam but wishes to play. Teams are also encouraged to matching uniforms—though not required—however, there may be a reward for the "Best Uniform." Saul Garcia of Campus Recreation said, "The winning team will all receive Intramural Champion shirts and have a plaque with their team name and picture on it in our trophy case which is located in the hallway of thefieldhouse." All teams will play in the tournament both days. On the 11th' teams will play two games and then on the 18th teams will be ranked and participate in the single elimination tournament.

Spring Break, how I love thee! Let me count the ways! You are the best time of year because you bring about some of the greatest things this world has to offer: Hot girls and, of course, wet t-shirts! Well, no. Okay, yes, but that is neither here nor there. Don't get me wrong, I love a chick in a wet t-shirt, but that is not how to make Spring Break last. So what does make Spring Break what it is? What are some of the greatest things about Spring Break that make it so wonderful and so seemingly long? Spring Break for me is sitting in a hammock, sipping an ice cold beer, getting a little drunk and enjoying the fact that I get to spend some well deserved time relaxing. For me, a graduating senior, I am just counting the days until I get to bid this school farewell for my undergrad work. But this last semester before I decide that I am done, I'm taking this last Spring Break to cherish the time I have left. I think back to my childhood of listening to the relaxing tunes of movies like "Endless Summer" back in the 70s. Those surf tunes are absolutely soothing and relaxing. I just want to crank that while allowing the alcohol to permeate within me, creating the perfect feeling of a complete lack of care. But what is the greatest way to make this Spring Break last as long as it possibly can? This is how. Grab a good drink, turn on some good music and relax. Whether you are going on a trip or just staying at home this Spring Break, there is nothing more relaxing and naturally soothing than just letting life pass you by as you relax. Whether you enjoy the classic surf tunes from "Endless Summer" or something like the everamazing Bob Marley, just throw some of that on and have yourself a relaxing time. Maybe even take a few hours to hang out with friends and watch a good old classic 80s film like "The Goonies" or perhaps even "The Adventures in Babysitting" don't lie, you know you love that one! For me, I took this Spring Break to get a variety of relaxing goodness. I went camping in Big Sur and enjoyed some amazing beer as well as a swig or two of my favorite rum - all while spending time with my family. I went to Disneyland and spent some time with our most beloved rodent - but what did you do? However you spent your Spring Break, I hope that you were able to enjoy a good time that was just as relaxing as mine - I know it was needed and deserved - so, with that, I say, "Cheers to you! Now back to the grinding stone." BY ADAM LOWE Pride Staff Writer Amid the glitz and glamour of Orange County are many bands that deserve some recognition. This year at the Orange County Music Awards, there were a few surprises but also some expected wins. A few of the bands that I have seen on a regular basis here in Orange County were up for some of the awards at this show. Of the many nominations, among the sea of names were some that I recognized easily. Of these known names, I actually was quite hoping the best for a few of them. Hollowell, for example, was up for Best Live Electric Band. Though they did not win, they still get to enjoy their time overseas with the troops in Iraq, starting on April 3, 2008.Last year's winner of the Best Alternative Band, Sleepless Me, had to step down as the title-holder of that award this year. This year, the Best Alternative Band award went to a band called Bayadera (http://bayadera. ning.com/). Personally, I've never heard of them, but they won the award so they must have something good to offer. Give them a listen. Perhaps they actually are as good as their award would suggest. Sleepless Me is not the only former winner to have to step down. Deccatree, last years Best Indie Band, no longer holds that title because of this year's winner, Chris Paul Overall (www.myspace.com/chrispauloverall), snagging the title. Overall is one of the most talented musicians in the Orange County area with a 5-octave vocal ability. If you want to hear true talent, you need to check out this guy. As for the last honorable mention from me, we have the winner of the Best Live Acoustic Male: AJ DeGrasse (www.myspace.com/ajdegrasse). AJ plays every Tuesday at the Gypsy Lounge (www. thegypsylounge.com) in Lake Forest, CA with Chris Paul Overall, as well as many other great Orange County artists. The only real way to explain AJ's voice is - it is big. His voice really takes the whole stage. If you are interested in any of the other information regarding who was nominated and who won some of the other awards, check out www.orangecountymusicawards.com and you will get every bit of information you could ever want including pictures from the event that was held at The Grove of Anaheim. I think I'd say that all who won - won big! Finally, a reason to buy a Wii Super Smash Brothers Brawl BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer After weeks of product testing, the consensus of gamers is that "Super Smash Brothers Brawl" is the first game that makes owning a Jill Nintendo Wii necessary. While the system is unique with its motion s ensitive con- trollers, there was not enough support to justify investing in the system. However, "Brawl" has changed that. It is a fun, addicting game that takes minutes to learn, and countless hours to master. Released March 9 in North America, this is the third game in the SSB series. The game play is simple. It is a third person side-scrolling fighting game, featuring characters from classic Nintendo games present and past. These include Mario, Link from "The Legend of Zelda," Samas Aran from "Metroid" and several new characters. Both others games were excellent, and this is no different. The graphics are stunning and the interface is well done. Where this game stands out is the new storyline. Several villains, including Wario, Bowser, and King DeDeDe from the "Kirby" series, have kidnapped other characters and it is the gamer's responsibility to track them down. Starting with only a few playable heroes, players find more allies as the game progresses across the Nintendo world. Though it involves multiple storylines, the game is engrossing and appeals to people who have not even played previous installments in the series. The definitive best part about "Brawl" is the new features for multiplayer. Snake from the "Metal Gear Solid" series and Sonic from the "Sonic the Hedgehog" series are two of the most notable additions. Each has intense moves to bring to the battlefield, and they are not the only new faces. There are also new maps to battle on, as well as the mapmaker feature. Finally, new to the game is the final smash attack. Occasionally on the map, the SSB logo will appear and when acquired, it grants the player a special power ranging from more potent punches and blasters to access to allies and super-powered weapons. Each time the option to obtain this occurs, gamers may temporarily forget about the battle to get hold of this power. The idea of the game is simple, but Sora Ltd., the developers of this game, but not the previous two, has included several facets to make the game more enjoyable. Even if the financial situation may be tight, this game is five stars and justifies buying a Wii. ¡Centhood th In order to receive Campus Emergency Alerts you must self registerInto t h e s y s t e m ! !

The plot line is one most of us will recognize: a 20th century plague virus breaks out; the government tries to put up walls to quarantine the population; and in turn, society declines into anarchy. The walls can't hold the virus as it spreads to the rest of the world, so writer director Neil Marshall throws a few twists into an otherwise all to familiar scenario. The film's trailer boasts, "it was an epidemic unlike any other," but after about 30 seconds of watching "Doomsday," one could quickly conclude that this is an epidemic in cinema like far too many others. With ground zero for chaos set in Glasgow, Scotland, this time it's the "dreaded virus Reaper" infecting the populous. The English waste no time in locking and barricading Scots behind a wall, following the Roman frontier's boundaries and surrounding Scotland. In a scenario moviegoers have seen before, the society collapses into anarchy. Left to die behind the wall, waiting for help that never came, the weak are killed and eaten, and soon all signs of life are gone from the quarantine zone. The first of a very few original twists in this plot line comes three decades later in the plot with the return of the Reaper virus, and this time it's in London. As the virus suddenly returns on the opposite side of the wall, government officials see signs of life on streets of Scotland's cities. With the world's population in jeopardy, British officials assemble a team to go back into the initial quarantine zone and find the cure. Enter British hottie Rhona Mitra's character: the anti-hero for the post-apocalyptic world, a refugee who escaped the initial outbreak three decades earlier as a child. Mitra leads the British insurgent team sent into Scotland. Dome.")

Yet this mediocre film fails on many levels. This is astonishing considering the star power and factors behind the film. The film producers had a good idea, but the movie left me begging for the end. The book "Bringing Down the House" is the inspiration for the film. The best selling book is the t rue story of Ben Mezrich, who used math and card counting to win large amounts of money in Las Vegas casinos. Jim Sturgess plays Ben, a math genius who needs money so that he can attend Harvard Medical School. Kevin Spacey, a professor, notices his talent and invites him to learn card counting so that he can devise a teamwork system to guarantee continuous wins at blackjack. Ben's life becomes complicated when he falls for a teammate played by Kate Bosworth and casino security puts the pressure on him. One place this film went wrong was with the acting. Jim Sturgess had his big break with the lead in "Across the Universe " but this actor f rom the UK had a hard time being a believable American college student. The audience might fail to care for his character due to the lack of depth. The other big name in this film is Kevin Spacey, who has proved himself as one of the greatest actors ever. However, one cannot always be perfect as Spacey gives a moderate performance as a stereotypical college professor who quotes "Ferris Bueller's Day O ff." More small flaws plague this film, which the flashy clothes and stylish music could not cover. The idea that inspires this film is fine, yet it becomes boring. At first, the depiction of card counting is exciting, but the repetitive nature of the action becomes boring. In between scenes in casinos are unoriginal moments showing the rise and fall of a movie character. Ben starts as a nerdy college student, who uses his skill to become something great and win the attention of the girl he has adored for a long time. Nevertheless, in the process, he forgets his t rue friends, then his world comes crashing down, and he must redeem himself. The end is predictable and like other films of this nature everything becomes right and Ben still gets the girl. The structure of the film being similar to many others may cause this movie to flop. Despite being based on a bestselling book and having notable actors, "21" might only score the titular number on a scale out of 100. Image courtesy of Sony Pictures San Miguel Dark Lager BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer While taking a trip to the Philippines might seem a tad bit difficult, tasting a product f rom Southeast Asia is not that far f rom reach. San Miguel Corporation brews San Miguel Dark Lager in Manila, Philippines. Logret Import and Export Company in City of Industry, California, imports the lager. The cardboard container holds six 12 fluid ounce brown glass bottles. The six pack retails for $6.99. The labeling is similar to most imported beers. The packaging consists of blue and yellow accents fea- turing a f rosty bottle nestled in a bed of ice. The bottles are labeled slightly different. The bottles contain a sophisticated gold and blue label. A copper bottle cap with the company's logo in red and black stencil caps a lager with 5% alcohol by volume. The lager pours semismooth releasing an almost completely black ale creating a half-inch thick head. The head keeps formation for a few moments then disappears. The lager creates an aroma similar to that of a bread bakery as doughy scents surround the f rosty mug. The lager enters smooth with a hint of excitement. Unlike most brews that peak with a onetime p owerful punch of flavor, the lager's peak of energy continues throughout the swallow and lingers for a brief moment thereafter. The lager leaves a bittersweet taste in the mouth. Ease back into school with this week's béer of the week and enjoy a wonderful product of a land far, far away. Welcome back, Cougars!

And with so many choices out there to satisfy your craving, could La Fe Tortilleria be the shining example of t rue authenticity? La Fe Tortilleria is small restaurant on West Mission Road here in San Marcos, about a block or two away f rom the San Marcos Civic Center Sprinter Station. This small restaurant is the perfect atmosphere for a small lunch or for a call-in order. With its cozy space, it can be hard to spot, but tucked away in the area is this restaurant with a plethora of varying dishes-. From the usual burritos, tamales, and enchiladas to my personal favorite: " street" tacos. Ranging f rom chicken t o pork, their best choice of meat to place in a burrito is definitely their carne asada. ' Biting in to their famous street taco, the tender meat j ust seems to melt in your mouth.

Is it a dining room? Is it a study lounge? Is it a student center? Is it a dance hall? Is it a lecture area? To find the answer I took a drive along the frontage road of Freeway 78 to the pink and green stucco building which is the home of The Foundation. There I found Marty Grey, who handles requests for use of the Dome. When considering these requests, Grey tries to coordinate a "unified effort" to help different organizations hold successful special events on campus. "The Dome was designed as a dining hall/ study area," Grey said. "We are trying to make it used for many things that it was not designed for." The ever-present echo makes the Dome an undesirable lecture site. The inflexible lighting system (the lights cannot be dimmed) makes it an inadequate dance hall. The question remains—if the Dome was not designed to accommodate student events, where did he planners expect the students to hold their functions? Outdoors? Off campus? Grey suggested that maybe "the planners didn't think we would be so social." Meanwhile, the Foundation is trying to come up with creative ways to use the campus facilities. Recently, Grey received a request for the use of the Dome as the site of a dance party in February. She's trying to find an alternative location, possibly outdoors. If you are considering hosting an event in the Dome, here are a few things to remember. The Foundation holds the exclusive food rights on campus.

Page 13 CSUSM Makes A Big Impact on Saving the Environment Our recycling program started in August and during the first two months alone, we diverted 31,300 lbs. of material. That's an excellent start for our new program. If we take a close look at what this effort means to our environment, it becomes even more impressive. We have been busy recycling several varieties of paper including newspaper, cardboard and mix paper. The more than 14 tons of recycled paper means that CSUSM has saved 294 trees, 3,920 gallons of oil and 98,000 gallons of water! The glass bottles that have been recycled reduces the need for mining sand, limestone and soda ash. Making aluminum cans from recycled aluminum reduces related air pollution by 95%. Why recycling just one aluminum can saves enough energy to operate a TV for three hours. Let's keep up the good work.. Take that extra step or two, to put your recyclables in the right container. Together we have made a difference and we can continue to make a greater one!

You may bring in your own caterer by asking Aztec Shops to subcontract with your caterer. Just don't try to cater the event yourself because no home cooked food is allowed. Only licensed caterers are permitted on campus. These food handling policies help the Foundation achieve its goals of "creating a coordinated effort" and assuring "careful food handling." Your next step is to fill out a "Request for Space Form." These forms are being tested right now since the University is still coming up with a facilities policy. An interim policy is now in place. Developing this policy is a lengthy process. "The first draft was 15 pages, now we've narrowed it down," Grey said. The Foundation is testing the Request for Space forms to see if they flow well before it makes a formal policy to be adopted by the University. The goal of the Facilities Use Policy i s to "identify the areas available for use and see what uses the areas serve well and to help determine whether the campus can meet the needs of the event," Grey said. Although the goal of the Facilities Use Policy is sensible, some of us continue to wonder how student unity can be a priority at CSUSM when our campus facilities are not conducive to hosting variety of student events. Office of Admissions and Records Gets a New Door An automatic double door that opens onto the Founders Plaza has been installed in Craven Hall 5110, the counter area of Admissions and Records. From now on, this will be the public entrance to and exit from our office for everyone. Please direct visitors, students, etc. to use this door when coming in to A and R. I ask that all staff and faculty likewise use the new double door. The former entrance to Admissions and Records off the corridor will be kept locked. We hope to have a sign hung outside near the new door identifying our office in the near future. �CSUSM Professor wins Presidential Award for Excellence in Science and Math Teaching The White House recently informed CSUSM professor, Joseph Keating that he received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science and Mathematics Teaching. Each year, one math teacher and one science teacher are selected from each state for this prestigious award. Keating said of the award, "I am honored to have been chosen as a recipient of the Presidential Award. When Congress established the award, they made a statement about the importance of science education for all Americans. I believe that science should be an integral part of our educational system and as a f aculty m ember at CSUSM feel very fortunate to be given the opportunity to make the connections between science and the training of teachers of science." The Presidential Award acknowledges the important role teachers play in attracting students into science and mathematics. The award carries with it a grant of $7,500 from the National Science Foundation and an expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C. The trip to the capitol in April 1994 includes an award ceremony, a dinner at the State Department, and several workshops where awardees exchange ideas and experiences Keating joined CSUSM's College of Education faculty this August.

CSUSM's Writing Requirement is Excessive USD, SDSU & UCSD have no formal writing requirements By Karen Foster Staff Writer Have you noticed that you've been spending a lot of quality time with your computer lately? The end of the semester is quickly winding down and everyone seems to be struggling to finish an endless number of term papers. During this stressful time, many students view CSUSM's writing requirement of 2,500 words for each class with a great deal of hostility. CSUSM's writing requirement is unique to our university. A survey of USD, UCSD and SDSU was made to see if these universities had any standardized writing requirement. All of them expressed surprise that CSUSM has a formal writing requirement, and added that their schools leave writing requirements up to the individual professors. While there is no intent to diminish the importance of writing, the need for a formalized writing requirement seems unnecessary. In an attempt to satisfy this criteria, most professors assign a final term paper. Students taking a full load of courses usually find themselves struggling to complete four or five term papers all due at approximately the same time. This end-of-semester crunch often results in insufficient time to finish other class readings and assignments. While some professors offer creative ways to satisfy the writing requirement, others have reacted by assigning enormous amounts of written work. Some 300 level classes require more written work than 400 level courses. Given the excessive writing required in each class, it is impossible to do a good job in every class. Burnout quickly sets in. Regardless of the minimum writing requirement, term papers would probably still be a requisite for most classes. However, the pressure of preparing a research paper for every class could be relieved. Some professors could create alternatives to written work that would enhance different learning skills. For now, we are left to deal with the writing load. Keep pounding away at that computer, and promise your friends and family that you'll see them after December 18. �< PLANS . ;\ 18 • 19, a ga&^'l^ltaid CSU Student Research Competition : scheduledftwfMarch prior to the end of this I. ^^t^oijp^e a^mtt year, a s are other and units.

H Camino Real Wiegand Plaza Encinitas, CA 92024 942-5220 �How t o Handle Difficult People By Mary Szterpakiewicz Editor-in-Chief Dr. Laura Schlessinger, licensed psychotherapist and popular talk show host recently spoke at the Hotel Del Coronado. Her topic—how to handle difficult people. According to Dr. Laura (as her radio listeners call her), "when dealing with difficult persons, always remember 99% of the time the other person is not going to change. No one likes to* give up control and power. How do we normally react when someone makes us angry or upset? We hide. We deny. We wish the upset would go away. We d on't want to deal with it. We become miserable. Life is tough enough without voluntary misery, so we want to protect ourselves. We d on't want to admit our fears or our pain. Nothing you do or say is more powerful than fear—not sex, not love, not food, not money. Why does anyone act like a jerk intentionally? Because they are in the self-protection mode. How you perceive it, how you react to it are important. People are basically different. You can't change their behavior, but you can only change how it feels. The main point in dealing with difficult people—stop being the victim. "Don'town it and you can handle it," says Dr. Laura. Changing your behavior (how you deal with the situation) will help you take control. The five most common types of difficult people are: 1. The Ranter and Raver. Their anger makes you feel hurt and scared. You are convinced you must be letting them down. The issue is acceptance by a parent. You need to look at your history. Did your family show anger? Was anger discouraged or suppressed? Was there a lot of denial and avoidance in your family or an explosive parent? Yourreaction to the ranter andraver— you become terrified. If you do nothing, it is perceived as passivity and permission. How to deal with an angry person? When someone screams, pretend they're under water and say a mantra. Tune out. The anger is about them, not you. Use humor. Find ways to deflect the anger— picture the screamer sitting on a toilet. This helps to put you in an objective place. What can you say to an angry person? "Stop, I don't appreciate being talked to like this." Keep saying it over and over again. It helps to keep your integrity in place. Or use naivete—"Excuse me, I 'm having a hard time understanding what you're saying, can you repeat that to me more slowly?" This will generally take the sting out. Use reverse psychology. Tell the person to keep yelling, and say you'll wait till they calm down. All these devices help to put you in control of the situation and no longer make you the victim. 2. The Manipulator. These persons don't give. They are only in the relationship to get what they want. They lay guilt on others. They are too scared, too afraid to change. They pretend to be caring to get what they want. They are afraid to give in return. The manipulator is very seductive and a charmer. You want to believe it. You know each other 20 minutes and you know i t's 'real.' When a woman has sex with a man, she thinks it means the same thing to the man. But she doesn't ask— it might mean something totally different to him. We don't ask because we d on't want to know. You are still hopeful. You feel used and unhappy. ' There is risk in any relationship," cautions Dr. Laura, "so don't donate it ,too quickly until you see signs of a reciprocal relationship." You can't buy love, not with money, sex, or affection. It happens over time, not in one night. 3. A Flake/Space Cadet. They don't commit to anything. You end up feeling angry and used. "Flakes are unreliable and hard to pin down, so stop trying," reminds Dr. Laura. These people tend to marry control freaks. You end up with a relationship where only one person is paddling the raft on the river of life. Be less upset by it, because you can't change it. If you are involved with a space cadet, you will end up being in control of the relationship. These people don't try and are afraid to take risks or try new things. If you choose to stay in this relationship, maximize the positives. Even flakes do something well. Get enthused about that, but don't push. If you push or criticize them, they withdraw and it reinforces their defenses. 4. Hypercritical/Negative Type. This type of individual is unhappy and insecure. They don't want to be wrong so they're on the alert for anything wrong and are looking for people to blame. Look at these people with pity. Use humor. If you're always surrounded by negativity, get a second opinion to get some objectivity. You can teach the nitpicker realistic f eedback. Someone nitpicky or critical is rarely specific. If they say "This house sucks!" Ask for specifics. "Which part of the house sucks?" People won't stop being that way, but in time it will be tempered. The only way a critical person can get to you is if you are hypercritical yourself. 5. Ignorer. This type of person couldn't care less. They keep doing the same routine, and you tend to overreact. You feel rejected. Ten times out of ten, you know why you are being rejected. Have a heart-to-heart talk with the ignorer. Tell this person you feel hurt. We pay a high price for negative feelings. When dealing with difficult people, look inside yourself. You are the container for the pain you experience. How you perceive it will help you deal with it. Dr. Laura Schlessinger can be heard Monday-Friday on KFI-AM 640 from noon till 2 PM. CSUSM Signature Quilt by the Quilting "Bees" This "work in progress" is being done by an informal group of CSUSM faculty, staff, students and community members. We will be quilting it on campus in the the Dome, every Wednesday at Noon. Please join us for fun and conversation as we complete this project and plan for the next one.

Volunteers Robert Wortmanand Ann Garman By Marilyn Ribble "More people should volunteer. The world would be a better place," said Robert Wortman, president of the Accounting Club, last week at the recent Service-Learning Volunteer table in the Plaza. Wortman has been a volunteer in such diverse areas as Boy Scouts and Volunteer Research for the State Board of Equalization. Wortman is a Business/Accounting major and will participate in the VITA project to assist low income people with tax forms this spring. Yvonne McCarty, a Liberal Studies major, found personal satisfaction in her volunteer hours with the Red Cross, fundraising, as the Art Club treasurer and says about the field of volunteering, "I recommend it to everyone. It is a wonderful professional and personal growth experience." In addition, Yvonne is president of SCTA and the Liberal Studies Ckib vice president. CSUSM is very committed to building a service-learning base and has begun by initiating several events to call attention to what is a progressive and new element in education. Over 100 students stopped by the table in Founder's "I truly enjoy volunteering. It gives me self satisfaction knowing that you have made someone smile," said Ann Garman. Garman, an Accounting major, has an impressive list of volunteering in her background. Ask her about it sometime, or, in brief, here's a few of the areas Ann has chosen: Special Olympics, Best Buddies Club, President of Circle K at CSUSM, Christmas Angel Project for kids this Christmas. And in Ann's f uture she sees herself in Kiwanis Club and continuing with Circle K as an advisor. Richard Molloy, a Psychology major, also has contributed his time as a volunteer. Molloy gives his past experiences as helping with the Indian Fair in 1992 at CSUSM, organizing the first Associated Student Endowed Scholarship. Currently Molloy is a volunteer at the International Festival and an Associated Student Council president. And what does he see for himself in the future? Molloy says maybe the Peace Corps, maybe in the field of migrant labor. Service-learning is proud of the accomplishments of everyone who took the time to speak with us. Achievements and the inner growth attributed to volunteering marks CSUSM as a campus with a heart. As we read and reflect on each of these profiles, a remarkable thing comes to light, that "it's more rewarding to give than to receive." It definitely appears that CSUSM has lots of students who agree with Robert Wortman's statement that volunteering is a way to make the world a better place. Bertha Walker, Estela Beccera and Amanda Kimpel donating their time at the Volunteer Table Do you volunteer in any capacity, large or small? The Service-Learning Office would like to meet you and hear what you do. Contact Claire Langham, 752-4057, Craven 2212. YOUR CONTRIBUTION DESERVES RECOGNITION! Uaire Langham, Service-Learning Coordinator �Profile of a CSUSM Student Volunteer By Claire K. Langham Service-Learning Coordinator "In my new start in life, volunteering opened the doors to my career path as a computer trainer and consultant," explained Linda Amor, a senior in the College of Business Administration. "Volunteering directly resulted in my current employment and has provided immeasurable opportunities. The directions at this point are unlimited for me" she elaborated. "Absolutely no one makes it alone in this world. Everyone at some time needs help. Likewise, everyone has something to offer other people. It is for this reason," she stated, "that everyone should be willing to give as well as to receive support." After living for several years in Hawaii, Linda returned to San Diego in the fall of 1987 as a newly single parent of three young children ages 1, 7, and 9. She had minimal resources, four suitcases, and virtually no computer experience. Determination and vision are the "inner resources" that have been key to Linda's survival and success. It really all started because of Linda's own need to improve her skills. She analyzed her situation and decided that mastering computers would be the key to security and opportunities for herself and her family. Linda's natural interests are in people, their warmth, and the creativity found in the visual arts, music, and writing. She also finds sciences fascinating. However, computers were her logical, rational decision for study. Initially, to implement her decision to develop computer skills, Linda arranged to barter for the use of a computer in exchange for her services as a personal and business manager for an individual who was living outside the US. 85% of the year. Naively, Linda initially thought she could learn the computer within two months. She had not realized the magnitude of her decision, nor the academic journey that lay ahead. Photo/Claire Langham Linda enrolled in a self-paced ROP (Regional Occupation Program) computer class in Escondido. She taught herself Word Perfect and other programs. "Actually, I have to admit to playing stupid in the lab so I would not be rotated after learning the software basics." Her goal was to master the entire computer system. Apparently, Linda had a hidden talent, but she was also driven. She worked extremely long hours, 12 to 16 hours a day at a computer studying or writing manuals. She was so unhappy with the existing computer manuals, that she began writing many of her own. Linda's mastery soon exceeded opportunities through ROP, so she expanded into other programs and began networking. Linda encountered many others who were experiencing the same frustration with lack of good manuals or instruction. She began helping others as a volunteer in small groups. In the process, she discovered really early that she had a great propensity to help other people. Thus, as she was learning new skills, she was teaching them to other people. This lead to requests for her to give training lectures to a variety of businesses and special interest groups. Through this exposure, she was offered her first credentialed teaching position in a computerized desktop publishing class for the San Diego Community College Adult Education Program. Ironically, Linda had found an indirect means of expressing her interest in art through practical computer applications. Why is Linda a business major? Her decision to return to school was based on the need to understand the principles of the computer applications that she was teaching, and the needs of the businesses being addressed. For example, she was teaching spreadsheet applications and needed to understand basic accounting principles. Volunteering continues to be important to Linda. "I routinely offer my time and services to others. One of the most rewarding experiences is when people I have helped come back later and thank me for having opened a door for them."

Present at these hearings were executives from all the major networks, gallantly confessing their evil ways and promising oodles more family programming and far less of the adult- oriented, sexually explicit, violent shows that have made them all rich. Illinois Senator Paul Simon, the lead crusader in the Clean-Up-Television battle, seemed very encouraged at the network promises, presumably convinced that his actions were having a significant effect on the moral character of the entertainment industry. Not long after the hearings, a small child playing with fire was responsible for the death of his little sister. The child's mother blamed the death on overexposure to MTV's animated Beavis and Butthead, a crass, vulgar series detailing the exploits of two teenage morons who gain great pleasure from, among other things, setting various animals on fire. There was a huge public outcry, complete with veiled threats from various elected officials, that immediately lead MTV executives to discontinue the 7 PM showtime. There is a disturbing trend taking shape here. Politicians and community activists hungry for publicity and in search of an easy target have turned their sights on the entertainment industry. Indeed, it seems as if every artistic medium has recently come under attack for in some way contributing to the decline of Western Civilization. Conservative radio mouthpiece Rush Limbaugh has been accused of-gaspl-bias in his daily political harangues and there has been talk among elected officials of invoking something called the Fairness Doctrine that would presumably f orce ideologues such as Limbaugh to "balance" their tirades by representing different points of view. Rap and Rock music now come complete with "Parental Advisory" stickers warning of foul language or depictions of graphic sexuality. The well-documented prosecution of rap group Two Live Crew on obscenity charges is an extreme example of the growing governmental willingness to cater to a vocal minority of self-styled moralists bent on controlling the content of American art. That's not to say that there aren't legitimate crises of morality and values in American society. Indeed, it takes only an occasional viewing of not Beavis and Butthead but CNN to see what a mess much of American society has become. It is unfortunate, then, that basically well-intentioned people waste valuable time barking about the actions of fictional characters instead of attempting to solve the real problems of crime, illiteracy, poverty, drug abuse, AIDS, alcoholism and the countless other ills that plague our society. Art is now and always has been a reflection of life; television does not provoke behavior in otherwise innocent viewers who had never before considered such mischief. It is the purpose of all art to, in the words of Shakespeare "hold a mirror up to life." We have become a society obsessed with shouting at our own reflections, convinced that if we can somehow change what we see on television, we will change what we see on our streets. That is a tragically misguided notion. In fact, it is often what we see on television or hear on the radio that opens our eyes to what is happening on our streets. Art is an incredibly powerful force, and it is the power of art to outrage, sadden or shock people into action that serves as one of the strongest arguments for a free and open society. Certainly, young impressionable children should not have open access to material obviously unsuited for juveniles. In that respect, it was a responsible decision for MTV to move potentially offensive material to a later time slot. It is a sad comment on the state of American parenting in general, however, that corporate executives and elected officials are forced to take on the position of a mother or a father. The breakdown of family values is a real problem not solved by cheap sermonizing or potshots at Murphy Brown that serve only to further divide society. It is a problem that goes far beyond what children are watching on TV, and until everybody realizes that, little will be accomplished. It is unfortunate that Beavis, Butthead and Rush Limbaugh have become the primary spokesmen for the First Amendmentrightsso central to the continued functioning of our republic. But let them raise their collective voices loudly, triumphantly in defense of freedom until every last potential censor is too annoyed and offended to-continue his or her efforts.

Lane Contributing Writer There is currently a very special and enlightening art exhibit on display at the CSUSM library. Twenty-two "yarn paintings" by artist Tim Hinchliff and a poem with each piece describing the meaning in that creation. Each symbol in the paintings has a specific message or purpose. Mother Earth is shown in many of them. The symbol of woman is depicted often as essential to the life spirit of the earth, sky, and universe. Tim Hinchliff is a native of San Diego county . At the age of 14 years, Tim took a trip to Mexico with his mother, a Cultural Anthropologist, and was introduced to Huichol yarn art from Nayarit, Mexico. DL: Even though we live in a high-tech society that does not include hunting/gathering, do you see a relationship between ancient beliefs about nature and our modern world? TH: I see modern society as hunting and gathering even today. W e are j ust look- ing for different stuff to survive on. It may not be corn or buffalo but the hunt for money through careers etc. will have the same effect. Eventually, it will be used tooput food on the table and clothes on our backs. DL: Can you tell us more about accompanying each piece in the library? TH: I create sonnets as a love song that I express f or a greater understanding of the art presented. "Courting the Earth," the work I am presenting at CSUSM this month is an attempt to show others that we areallpart of an original family indelibly tied with the earth and its personality. I am a poet, and after a painting is finished, I write about how I see that painting and what it means to me.. Because I live with the painting while creating it, writing about what I have created is a process that gives me closure, as well as assisting the public in understanding my work. DL: How do you see yourself, past, present, and future? TH: I have been extremely fortunate to have had a life that has allowed me to take the Photo/Debra K. Lane time to create. Over the last 20 years, I have been able to grow with my art and obtain an understanding of the levity of what I am creating. But I have also been fortunate to have had the time to hang out in those avocado groves in Fallbrook and play with the idea of art. I began by drawing, sketching and writing poetry. I was encouraged by my family and friends. And I was lucky enough to have met a woman to share my life. I have a home, love, children and a career. It really is incredible luck. Students create multicultural quilts Students in the two sections of Education 390created two very beautiful multicultural quilts. The quilts are being used as a class servicelearning project by collecting donations and giving the proceeds to three local non-profit organizations. Proceeds from one class will go to the Latino Boy Scout Troop 669 to sponsor a wilderness camping experience focusing on self-esteem and a science/ecology component The other proceeds will be used to sponsor at least two students' participation in Leadership 2000 and to assist in the efforts of a local senior citizen playwright which serves to eliminate myths and stereotypes about aging. These students are "no nonsense" when it comes to business and it was decided that each student would seek donations for $1 per ticket Each class is striving to raise at least $ 1000. We would appreciate your support and donations in this endeavor: The quilts will be on display in Founders Plaza for the next few days. I appreciate your support for the students efforts and wish all participants the best of luck in the drawings to be held Dec. 6 and Dec. 8. For more information, contact Charolette Bell at 752-4313.

Whether performing a little revisionist history by showing the world a softhearted Elliot Ness in The Untouchables or a politically correct Union soldier in Dances with Wolves, Costner has repeatedly epitomized the very 90s, very Hollywood aes- thetic of the Sensitive White Male. At first look, his new role as an escaped convict in Clint Eastwood's A Perfect World seems a bold step away from this cuddly repertoire. Butch, as tBe Costner character is called, is a cold-blooded murderer and kidnapper seemingly capable of any violent and sadistic act. Upon further examination, however, Butch proves in many ways to be a typical Costner character; a misunderstood, ultimately kind-hearted product of a dysfunctional family—Robin Hood with a .38 and a pack of Lucky Strikes. A Perfect World is a mess. A surprising mess, considering the collective artistic talent assembled, but an ultimate disappointment nonetheless. Directed by Clint Eastwood and co-starring Eastwood and Laura Dern, this story of an escaped criminal who inadvertently kidnaps a young Jehovah's CSUSM's First Production Frankly, to be Honest... By L. Rene Fooks Contributing Writer Theatre is alive at CSUSM! Frankly, to be honest.,, an Evening of Student Generated Theater was directed by Marcos Martinez, faculty member of the Visual and Performing Arts department. This, the first CSUSM student-based production, was the resulfcof Theater Arts 499C-Production Workshop. The production was student-generated theatre. Just because the word "student" is used, doesn't necessarily mean the quality is low. Three performances were given last month, November 6-8, and if you missed them, too bad. It was well worth it. The play was a series of monologues and short scenes that depicted certain attitudes in society regarding class, race, and gender that perhaps some of us were not aware of; or we have become so de-sensitized by its occurrences that we ignore it. One such idea was the monologue of an overweight female who described how valuable she was as a human being in spite of her obesity, and how society has set unwritten standards on women based solely on their appearance. That was a real eye-opener. As a male, I can honestly say I have changed my pre-judging sexist attitudes after hearing and seeing this particular monologue. I even took the 'sorry no fat chicks' bumper sticker off my car. Another interesting scene showed a method in which attitudes and ideas are shaped. Like father, like son; you' ve heard the cliche. This scene showed a bitter, divorced man instilling aggressive, demeaning ideas about women and their true function (from his perspective), to his teenage son, who has developed that same pleasure-seeking, hateful attitude towards his girlfriend. I personally could not find any entertainment value in the profane language used. They were not kidding when they advertised the program as not suitable for children. I didn't get the impression that the profane language was used to "boost the ratings" but maybe to show us what we've grown accustomed to in our everyday lives. The theatre has a way of showing us who we really are as individuals. If all the world is a stage as one man wrote, and we are the players, then the theatre is you as well. Don't miss the next show! Witness boy and is pursued across Texas by a gruff ranger (Eastwood) and a psycho babbling beaurocrat (Dern) starts out fairly strong but is quickly saddled with an annoying subplot and predictable dialogue and situations. Costner summons up the proper menace in the early scenes when breaking out of prison and kidnapping the child. There is a strange, unpredictable connection between Butch and the boy that is balanced with strong tension; the audience isn't sure where things are going, whether or not the criminal can be trusted That tension is ruined soon enough, as we discover that Butch was a product of a broken home and has never killed anybody who wasn't trying to harm someone he loved. We find this out because Dern's character delivers a poorly written speech to a trailerful of The Texas rangers emphasizing the importance of understanding the Why of criminal behavior, not the What if you really want to catch your man. It is the worst scene in the movie and serves to almost single-handedly destroy all possibilities of creativity or originality left in the film. The entire Eastwood-Dern subplot, in fact, serves as nothing more than an annoying distraction. The film takes place in Texas a week before President Kennedy was shot, and Eastwood plays with some interesting symbolism about martyrdom and a loss of innocence. But nothing is fully developed, and by the time the drawn out, predictable ending comes, all the potential shown in the f ilm's opening moments has been squandered. It is unfortunate that such talent was wasted on such a mediocre project. A S. Programming S oard P resents . .

The name means 'Go and retrieve the past', and to the AKAN people of Ghana, West Africa, this behavior symbolizes the need to develop a sense of continuity in our everyday life by linking our present and future to the past The musical style of the group, SANKOFA, succinctly represents the concept expressed in the name. From a socio-historical perspective, this group traces the development of unique musical expressions as the slaves began to transform, adapt to and adopt the diverse life-styles in which they found themselves in the diaspora. SANKOFA represents a unique blend of the music of South, Central and North America as well as the music of the Caribbean as reshaped by the dynamics of slavery and other forms of cultural diffusion andacculturative processes. In SANKOFA, one could easily identify the characteristics of Jazz* Reggae, Funk, Calypso, Salsa, Blues, Gospel, Spiritual, Traditional and Contemporary African music, Country and Western, Samba and the Classical tradition, all of which are fused together to underscore the homogeneity of the sources of acculturative processes that have guided the changes through the years. The ever-present polyrhythmic and complex melodic structures, the call-and-response vocal styles, the functionalism of the music and all other attributes that have stood the test of time are the basis of the SANKOFA style. This group is a capsule of the reactions that current socio-political, and historical transformations throughout the world are generating. World music has been melded by Photos of Sankofa/Carlos Mariscal advancements in technology while exclusiveness of remote cultures has become a thing of the past. The members of this amazing group include a well-selected cadre of musicians who have been dedicated to the various representative styles. They include Jim Storey, guitar; Gunnar Biggs, bass; Brad Steinwehe, trumpet; David Murray, trombone; Jason Hahn, drums and percussion; Roy Gonzalez, timbales and percussion; Eyi Omaraji, percussion, vocals and dance and Komla Amoaku, congas, percussion and lead vocals. Dr. Amoaku is also a Professor of Ethnomusicology at CSUSM. The ensemble sometimes includes traditional African dancers: Gelsamina Merritt, Shoshanna Cordes and Chantale Damas. CSUSM sees the world increasingly becoming a global village, and wishes that this be expressed in its art and cultural programs. SANKOFA is the institution's demonstration of its perception of the 21st century. SANKOFA will be performing on Thursday, Dec. 9 at 12 Noon at the Commons Stage. �T 1 ATTENTION POETS Wfwf Open Poetry Contest / ••ByAmjeje;:;- / ^ h f m ^ yoi* treating me this way* proclaim to love me, ' ^^vfe - I ^ V ^ i i i g - s u b t l e : •: s ^tetd g ^ :• • •' this does not seem like love to me.

MCAT GMAT LSAT GRE PREPARATION COURSES FOR MOR INFORMATION, CALL US AT (619) 558-0500 By Roy L atas Staff Writer A campus writing center usually reflects aplace where remedial writers work through their writing problems, but the CSUSM Writing Center provides a friendly environment that serves a hub for the All University Writing Requirement Project. The tutor corps of the Writing Center is a skilled group of students whose foundation in writing theory and practices comes from English 494 (Theory and Practice of College Writing). The tutors aim to foster quality academic writing from the painless perspective of a good friend who is interested in advancing meaningful analysis. Students at any phase of an assignment are encouraged to come to the Writing Center. How do you use the Writing Center? The tutorial staff of the Center recognizes that writing is always a messy business—writing never advances in clean, concise, well-rounded or logical steps. Academic writing involves a process of false starts, misdirections, confusion, and many times frustration. The tutor offers another set of eyes to assist writers while they navigate their "writerly" course to meaning. The phases of writing: brain-storming, editing, revision or final draft inspection are all part of the tutorial s taffs field of experience. Who uses the Writing Center? During the 1992-1993 academic year, the Writing Center DISPLAY ADVERTISING conducted over 1,334 individual writing conferences. The heaviest student populations came from Liberal Studies, English, and Business Management/Accounting majors, each accounting for approximately 20% of the students utilizing the Center. The significant population of English majors reflects the attitude that even those who may perceive themselves as being skilled writers recognize the need for revision and recognize potential profits of a trip to the Center. The notion that only students with serious writing problems avail themselves of this service was dispelled by discovering that the average GPA of students using the Center was 3.25. This statistic indicates successful students at CSUSM use the Center to enhance their writing and produce high caliber papers. The tutors at the Writing Center want to assist all students who wish to improve and advance their writing skills. Center tutors are involved in an educational dynamic which provides them an exceptional teaching experience with other students. The tutors, by helping others, will in turn improve their own writing skills. CLASSIFIEDS Rates for standard size ads: Bus.

Cal State San Marcos founding faculty member and current history professor, Joan Gundersen, answers this and many other rarely asked questions in her new book. To Be Useful To The World" tells of the interrelated lives of women in the time of the Revolutionary War and generations past.. White privileged, white indentured, black slave and Native American women are shown to affect each other's cultures and everyday lives. "Women weren't as restricted as we tend to think" says Gundersen in an interview. During the Revolution woman's roles were perceived using a different ideology. For example their role in the family was seen as more of an economic activity, than a private, family, nurturing activity. The knitting of a quilt was done for the economic benefit of the family, where as a generation later it was looked upon as a labor of love. In the same time period the home went from public territory to a very private place. Another scarcely known role that women performed was that of the Women of the Regiment. Both British and American forces employed women in the military during the Revolutionary War. After the war these tasks fell to males members of the infantry. Gundersen points out that information about the actions of women in history was available to people of the 19th century, it simply had to be reported in a way they would understand it. From the Revolution to the 19th century people saw women as increasingly domestic. Eventually ideas such as women holding a paid position in the miilitary became unthinkable. C oncerning women of the p eriod Gundersen says "there were a few more losers than winners." Other perceptions we might have of women of that period are also challenged by the relatively high rate of pre-marital sex in 1750's. Sometimes as many as half a communities women were pregnant when married. Time and population chanegd the lives of slave women. Gundersen studied one slave woman named Peg. She was born in Africa and, once here, lived among ten other slaves. Soon she was the only woman. This made the family structure different. Being a slave woman classified her as a double minority. A slave culture developed as slave importation increased from 1740-1770. Peg's daughter Amy lived in a community where her mother didn't. Gundersen writes that the lives of Native American woman were directly affected by the actions, assumptions, and pressures of the whites around them.

President Bill Stacy will be reviewed this Spring. In years past, the Board of Trustees consulted a number of university officers and the heads of prominant campus groups including the Academic Senate, Alumni Association, Associated Students and University Advisory Board. Faculty and staff were randomly contacted. The remainder of the campus community was left out of the proceses, until now. Revisions made in January of 1994 allow anyone in the campus community to submit comments to the Chancellor's office in reference to Stacy's leadership and the current state of affairs at Cal State San Marcos. Letters must be signed, but authors will be kept confidential. They must be sent by Monday, March 3. General considered topics include management of human, physical and fiscal resources, working relations and communication with the campus and CSU system, leadership effectiveness, President Stacy will be reviewed by the CSU Chancellor's office in April. Presidents in the CSU system are reviewed every three years. community relations, major achievements and person characteristics. Comments should not be limited by the guidelines. See Stacy, pg. 2 Professor files suit against mother of former student By Tony Barton Editor-in-Chief The mother of a former Cal State San Marcos student has been charged for repeatedly calling and allegedly verbally harassing a business professor last spring. _ Business professor Dick Montanari filed a complaint with the campus police May 17. Campus officials turned the matter over to the Vista District Attorney's office, which then filed a misdemeanor charge of repeated telephone calls to annoy against Rhea Lee, the mother of former student Benjamin Lee. The charge cited recordings of 13 calls made to Montanari's campus voice mail and home answering machine in March and May. The phone calls stemmed from Benjamin Lee's disagreement with a grade of C he received in Montanari's Business 302 class the previous fall. Despite a settlement of an informal grievance dispute that raised his grade to a B, Benjamin filed a formal grievance with Montanari, hoping to change his grade to an A. Prior to filing the grievance, Benjamin accepted an extra-credit assignment offered by Montanari, that the professor said could raise his grade to an A. Lee later recanted on the grounds that the assignment's point value was not sufficient to give him an A. Instead, Lee pursued the formal grievance process. Montanari insists that Lee could have earned an A with the assignment. In the f irst t hree c alls, m ade t o Montanari's office, Rhea Lee questioned why her son's grade had not been changed. The recordings showed her also threatening to try to sway local students from attending CSUSM by telling them about the problems between Montanari and her son. In a recent statement, Montanari said he was waiting for Benjamin's assignment to be turned in to give him his final grade, not knowing he had decided against doing it. Rhea Lee later made six recorded calls to Montanari's home and four more calls to his office, informing the professor that she planned to file "blackmail" charges against him. She also said she would fax the CSU Chancellor's office materials on Montanari and, citing her 30 years as a health care professional, recommended that he undergo a psychological evaluation. No action was taken by the Chancellor's office in response to Rhea Lee's fax or to a letter mailed by her in October. The Lees also met with President Stacy, who directed them back to the grievance process. Recently, Rhea Lee said, "(Montanari) is taking his personal problems out on his students, its got to end." Rhea Lee says she called Montanari "in See Lee, pg. 2 �NEWS The Pxite, thuRsday, Vehmaxy 27, 1997 W HAT'S NEWS Student government elections are coming Associated Studens Inc. elections are scheduled for April 15 and 16.

Stowell named last year's outstanding professor By Larry Uleman Pride Staff Writer Dr. Laurie Stowell, an associate professor in the college of education, has been named the 1996-97 Outstanding Professor. A selection committee, composed of faculty members, administration, and a student representative, selected her because of her outstanding contributions to her students, academic discipline, and the community. Stowell was chosen from twelve other nominees who all have a superlative teaching record, quality contributions in the areas of research, and service to the campus and community. It is gratifying to be awarded for something you love to do," said Stowell."(CSUSM) is an exciting place to be. It is nice to be in a program which you can help to create." I know what it takes to get this award, and Stowell certainly stands out from a pool of outstanding candidates to be this year's recipient," said Dr. Wang, last years winner who was also on this year's selection committee. Stowell received her bachelor's degree at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio. She received her master's and doctorate degrees at Ohio State University. She began teaching at CSUSM in 1992 as an assistant professor and in 1996 she advanced to associate professor. She currently teaches introduction to children's literature, Advanced children's literature in the master's program, and language and literacy for credential students. She supervises student teachers and is the co.-chairwoman of the CSUSM United Way, chairwoman of the service learning committee, and is involved in the accrediting of other colleges of education on a national level. Stowell will be the fourth professor to receive this award at CSUSM. Previous winners include Dr. Renee Curry, Dr. Kenneth Mendoza, both professors of literature and writing, and computer science professor Dr. Stanley Wang. Each winner of this award receives a plaque, and a picture which is placed near the front door of Craven hall. They also receive $1,000. A campus ceremony is being planned for later in the semester.

Also as white men automatically demanded to talk to "the man in charge" when dealing with Native tribes. Native women were pressured into more socially exceptable, white, roles.

(In the messages) I said 'call me, let's work this out.' Those calls were made in good faith," she Lee said. Montanari does not share her sentiments. "I fell grieved. Mrs. Lee said things about me and to me that are thoroughly untrue, vicious and malicious." Benjamin's initial problem with Montanari arose when his class point-total was lowered half-a-grade by a low peer evaluation score. Benjamin, who now attends a UC campus, filed a second grievance over the summer saying that Montanari's peer grading system lacked proper "checks and balances." The grievance was not answered until last week in a letter by Professor Joan with the ways of the Natives within them. The U.S. has taken much from the Native cultures that first inhabited this land. Gundersen gathered this information through studies of the American Revolution that described women's lives and through diaries, letters, tax records, and other fragmented sources. Her endeavor took years of compiling information and comparing life histories. She points out that there was no single factor that changed the ways in which people thought of the roles of women. It was many different forces that brought women's status backward and forward, moving up to the present. Gundersen, the new chair of the grievance committee.

If good faith efforts by Ben are ignored by the college, the grievance committee will review his claims. Rhea Lee feels that she and her son have already satisfied the informal grievance process, as they have met with Montanari and the college of business dean, Newton Margulies.

We've been concerned for some time that the demand for dialup access would grow faster than funding for additional dialup lines. Last fall's statistics showed that more than 85% of the student body dialed in for less than 4 5 minutes per day. Using this figure as the "baseline" amount of access needed by most students, we started enforcing a time limit on 2/17/97. It should be easier to get connected now. Sorry we didn't have that limit in force before the start of the semester. Truth is that we were caught off guard! Usually the beginning of a semester is not a high demand time, dialup wise. See "http://www.csusm.edu/ computing/dialup" for more detail on limits. We've started a second modem pool which is partially supported by student contributions. Students who want more hours of access can choose to participate in a paid modem pool (cleverly dubbed the FEEline). I t costs $40 to join this modem pool for six months or $70 for an entire year. More info on this can be found at "http:// www.csusm.edu/computing/fee-line". In regards to username discontent, assigning "abcdeOOl" as a username wasn't our first choice for a solution. A couple of years ago we had this very cool program that allowed students to select their own usernames. (and we had lots of fun creating the list of usernames which would be disallowed.). The concept didn't work so well in practice - many people were unfamiliar with the idea of a username and password. Others thought up interesting, but unfortunate usernames and then urgently wanted them changed. Eventually we just decided that it wasn't worth the trouble. The current scheme is the best method we could think of that allowed us to a utomate username assignment. Your username becomes part of your student record and that allows us to give faculty electronic mailing lists for each class along with other similar benefits. It is difficult to keep informed on topics like this. It is also difficult for us to get information to students. Handouts tend to disappear. Using electronic publications to explain how to access electronic mail? You can see the problems. Nonetheless, there are several handouts in ACD 202 that address general computer resource issues. Many student handouts can be found at "http://www.csusm.edu/computing/students/handouts.". People should also monitor the campus newsgroups for current information. Most of the issues I've addressed were discussed in the csusm.computing newsgroup. We'll try to do a better j ob of making certain that students receive information at the beginning of each semester by making hard copies available in ACD 202 and by sending out e-mail giving URLs for electronic documents. Naturally, we think we are responsive to student needs. If you feel differently, please let us know what we can do to make computer facilities more accessible and minimize Problems- Teresa Macklin Director, Academic Computing (macklin@csusrii.edu) Dismayed with student reaction to racist incidents Dear Editor, While the racial incidents that occurred last semester and during the first week of the current semester were certainly deplorable, I find myself equally dismayed by the reaction of students (as reported in the February 13, 1997 issue of ' The Pride") to these incidents. Whereas it is not surprising that many white students believe these incidents to be "rare" or perhaps "blown out of proportion," what is truly unsettling is the attitude that CSUSM somehow places "more importance on diversity than education." Silly me, I thought that learning about the history, accomplishments, and traditions of people from various cultural backgrounds serves not only an educational purpose, but also encourages understanding between people. As such, "global awareness" is an indispensable part of a good liberal arts education. Isn't education the reason we're all here? Vince Trofimoff Adjunct Faculty Psychology program Volounteer with the humane society I would like to comment on the article by Val Knox about volunteering. I agree with her that it is a wonderful experience and will look good on a resume or an in interview. If someone is wondering, "I d on't know where I want to volunteer," try the Humane Society if you are an animal lover. I have been volunteering at the San Diego Humane Society now for six years. There are many areas where the shelters needs volunteers. There is the cattery if you like cats, and taking dogs for walks (the same care for the cats but not the walks!). Also volunteers can talk to prospective adoptees. There is pet assisted therapy which takes small animals (guinea pigs, chinchilla, rabbits, puppies, kittens) to needy people so they can pet them. For instance, rehabilitation hospitals, convalescent homes, juvenile detention center for girls, etc. It is very rewarding to be a volunteer on these visits and see people's reactions to the animals. Some people do not want to work directly with the animals (they think it is sad that animals get put down but the S.D.H.S. has a 99% adoption rate). There are several areas to work sans animals: there is a gift shop at the center and they need cashiers; there are the fund raisers like the 'Fur Ball' and the 'Doggie Derby.' Every year the H.S. has a booth at the Del Mar Fair ties.

Jodine Hammerand Business major Aryan Student Union members express concerns D ear Pride staff, I 'm writing this letter to you with regrets and some fears. I 'm a student at Cal State and the director of a small group that feels we are discriminated against due to our racial and cultural background. The group I speak of is the Aryan Student Union. I say "regrets and fear" because we are, of course, aware of the "hate" incidents and racial tension that are causing problems on our campus. Our group, comprised of a fluctuating 10-15, have sought official recognition from the administration, only to be turned down. Speakers we have asked to come to campus have been turned away. All the while, non-Aryan persons have been allowed, and even greatly encouraged to show pride and solidarity on issues affecting their race and culture. This, we believe, is right. It is right for groups to express their identities left to denigration. This is why some of our members may have expressed their identities in unacceptable ways. In the same way black people were forced to violate the law in order t o win their freedom, a few of the more radical members of our union may have used illegal symbolism to redress our grievances. We don't condone the actions of those who may be connected to us. At the same time we see where the frustrations may come from especially in our younger high school associates. It's the same frustration that comes from when a racial, ethnic or religious group is denied their expression, like whites are at CSUSM. When blacks were oppressed they did sit-ins and riots which are illegal. When Jews were being oppressed in Nazi Germany, they illegally resisted. Now that Aryans are excluded from all forms of expression on our campus, and even smeared openly, it is no wonder that some of them are doing anti-social activi- 1 111 piiiBB io^fii M W s' f^r- 1 . MBR flflMNN �1n N \ N ER ] FA J\ M N E\ 1 R J I R e — The Pmde, Thursday, TebKuany 27, 1997 'Empire' is best of the trilogy Wammo By Gabe Lundeen Entertainment Editor The "Star Wars Trilogy: The Special Edition continues, with a newly remastered version of the saga's second and best film, "The Empire Strikes Back." "Empire" is the darkest of the three "Star Wars" movies, as it is intensely dramatic. Where "Star Wars" was more of a fairy tale in the tradition of happy endings and heroes in white, ""Empire" is more of a morality play, in which the main characters not only have to confront the antagonist, hut also themselves. The movie is very dramatic and melancholy. The movie is shot almost entirely in blues and blacks to suggest a more somber mood. Even the scenes shot in light colors, such as the battle scene on the ice planet of Hoth, are done to the extreme to suggest something in amiss. Gone is the campiness and "cheese" of "Star Wars," and the main characters have been infused with far more style and personality than their previous incarnations. Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Leia have been injected with more character, and rise above their caricatured images. One of the movie's highlights is Yoda, a gnomish Jedi master who spouts out wise proverbs and Zen-like quotations while training Luke in the ways of the Force. Yoda is the puppet creation of Muppeteer Frank Oz, who also provides his voice. Yoda is not only interesting, but also provides a bit of comic relief in the midst of all the seriousness. The dominant image in "Empire" is that of Darth Vader, the evil Dark Jedi who truly comes into his own as a character. Throughout the movie he is portrayed as truly evil and magnetic as a villain, and he too becomes his own character, with the revelation that he is Luke's father. In "Star Wars," Vader was more of a novelty than anything else, so it is refreshing to see him as a powerful image. "Empire" is a wonderful bridge between the fledgling start and gigantic finale of the trilogy. It relies less on action and more on characterization. Instead of Han and Leia fighting stormtroopers, Han and Leia begin an awkward romance and fall in love, with one of the classic lines in recent movie history. As Han is being put into carbonite, Leia says "I love you," to which he replies "I know", in his familiar By Jill Cook Pride Staff Writer Such cynical verse.

Added to "The Special Edition" is about four minutes of footage, and it is a nice addition to the film. We actually get to see the Wampa, the ice creature that attacks Luke, in his entirety, smacking his lips and slurping down some poor dead creature's bones. And on Cloud City, much more of the scenery is shown, so one gets a better feel of the fact that it is actually a city. The computer generated graphics of Cloud City are absolutely stunning. Directed by Irvin Kershner, "The Empire Strikes Back" gives the "Star Wars" trilogy a base in drama, and gives the already established characters and conflict the epic status it holds today. The majesty of special effects-created technology like the four-legged AT-AT walkers, which were created by some of the greatest stop-motion animation ever done, exceeds that of the first movie. Also worthy of mention are the acting performances, which are also the best of the trilogy. Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher have a perfect chemistry together, and they steal every scene they have together. Mark Hammil proves to the world that he can act, giving a fine portrayal of the maturing Luke Skywalker. And James Earl Jones, as the voice of Darth Vader, is utterly amazing, and must be heard to be believed. "Empire" has been criticized for being too glum and not having a neat and tidy ending, but remember that the movie is only a bridge between "Star Wars" and "Return of the Jedi." It serves as a transition, a middle ground between the other action-laden movies. It was truly ahead of it's time, and the "Star Wars" trilogy would not be complete without it.

No, they are lyrics f rom the "Fat Headed Strange" album, a new and peculiar approach to alternative music. A narrative monologue posing as music has emerged. The band calls themselves Wammo, and they sing, if you can call it singing, verses like, "It's easy to rationalize when y ou're d rowning in b oredom a nd brewski... not even Batman can save you now." Such cynical verses could emanate from just about any alternative vocalist today—pitiful lamentations from bitter y outh t rying t o e xpress t hemselves through music. Yet usually the tune and beat override the depressing self-hate lyrics and provide a positive rhythmic vibe that listeners are drawn to. As a result, listeners can comfortably identify with the singer's emotive manifestation. But in Wammo's case, everything but melody exists to offset the irate saga of this b and's lead singer. "Fat Headed Stranger" sounds almost like an autobiography on tape. The vocalist, a small town Texan plagued with pessimism, spews out abstract accounts of his seemingly miserable life in an attempted form of musical score. Only one song on the album even remotely resembles the kind of melody that one can sing along to. Even this song called "Salty" suffers in its ability to seize an alternative music lover's ear. The instrumental collage of sound accompanying this monologue consists of a sparse combination of electric guitar, occasional twangy acoustic guitar solos, harmonica, saxophone, and of course a drum beat consistent with the spoken lyrics. The music takes on a country Western—bar room brawl connotation with added background sound effects of desert winds in a few of the songs. That, combined with an embellished Southern drawl of the vocalist creates a dreary, futile monotone (like the singerfs voice) that just doesnft add up to much entertainment value; The cover of "Fat Headed Stranger" represents the lead singer Ed Hammel's s trong f ixation w ith t he s uperhero Batman. He claims in one song that Astroboy, Speed Racer, the Wolfman, SpiderMan and Casper all pale in comparison to Batman.

The image is of Hammel himself and seems to s ymbolize his unquenchable anger that can easily be concealed within the bounds of a cape, but that still thrives inside and needs to be expressed. Hammel displayslhe exterior of his favorite superhero, but in reality he holds a rebellious contempt for the world and what he calls "Generation X." So, unless it is hostile pessimism and society? These questions could have inspired the new band Dogma to name its album, "Feeding the Future." The album's lyrics not only raise issues that pertain to our changing and often unjust world, but they also meld well with the forceful nature of the music. Spread sporadically throughout "Feeding the Future" are erratic excerpts from various TV shows or news reports. These nonsense blurbs represent all the diverse information that is distributed to the pubic by the media. D ogma's underlying message proclaims that the media, with its great power to influence, is what feeds the future. But the band also branches off from this concept of an evolving society through lyrics that discuss present social problems. The song, "He Knows," for example, starts out with the lamentation, "Passed a man on the corner on the way to my new job. Hey man, can you help me, you know times are hard. I thought to myself too many people are on the street; I just kept on walking and stared at my feet." Harsh reality closes in when the vocalist sings that he didn't get the new j ob because there were "too many people" and the positions were filled." Dogma also integrates all kinds of other issues besides homelessness into the album, all of which combine to stimulate awareness in listeners. In addition to, and perhaps subordinate to, providing thought-provoking points about our world and societal situations, "Feeding the Future" is effective in dazzling listeners musically. Dogma sounds very similar to the band Soundgarden, with its heavy guitarriffsand powerful rhythm created via the vigorous drum beat. The group's lead singer even sounds a lot like Soundgarden's lead vocalist, at times reaching higher pitches that merge almost coincidentally with the deep baritone of his voice, producing an exceptional collaboration of sound that works well with the music. If you are drawn towards bands like Soundgarden, you will most likely find Dogma's tunes catchy and alluring. Because the group tends to be on the harder side of alternative music, this album probably wouldn't be a good gift for Grandma. monotonous soliloquys that you're looking for, Wammo's album is definitely not one to run out and buy. A poetry reading would provide the same effect as this album, but would provoke a much more stimulating, coffee drinking and entertaining environment. �Kreisler from p. 3 ally accepting the truth of the lifestyle approach to stress prevention — which includes meditation. So how do you meditate? In a nutshell, meditation consists of the following simple ingredients. First, find some part of the day where you can regularly be alone, safe from interruption, especially from the phone and other people. Many people find that early morning is ideal, and it's even better if you can find both a morning and an evening time. Find some regular time that works for you, about 20 minutes per session being quite adequate, though less is fine at the beginning. Second, make yourself comfortable, but not so comfortable that you are likely to fall asleep! Most meditators find it difficult to meditate lying down in bed for this reason. You may sit cross-legged on the floor, or on a chair. It really doesn't matter as long as you are comfortable, yet alert. Third, pick something to concentrate on. It can be a candle, a sound (a mantra) that is soothing or of some simple spiritual significance to you, or, most simply, your own breathing. You will concentrate gently on this for the whole period, and as your mind wanders, as it constantly will, you will bring it back to the thing you are trying to stay with. One author likens this to training a puppy that you have great affection for: you put it on the newspaper to "go," and it wanders o ff. You gently pick it up and put it back on the paper a thousand times, until it stays. Breathe easily from the diaphragm, not forcing it. Deeply and fully. Attend to the rising and falling of your abdomen, or to the air going in and out of your nostrils.

Acosta-Vazquez "White women have been the primary beneficiaries of Affirmative Action; therefore they stand to lose the most by the passage of something mistakenly referred to as the 'color blind initiative Professor Sharon Elise Answer: Sociology Professor Sharon Elise, Ph. d.

Therefore, this [inequality] is due to ongoing discrimination despite laws banning it. Question: Some critics argue that the Civil Rights Act Initiative is an attack on women's rights. Would you agree ? How do you explain that a great number of white women support CCRI? It is clearly an attack on the women's struggle for equality in our society. It is also one of the curious features of gender oppression that its victims are so unaware of their low status thereby so uncommitted to their own struggle. It has also been a historic ploy to call upon the racism of white women for the purpose of maintaining a white male power system. Nevertheless, white women have been the primary beneficiaries of affirmative action and therefore stand to lose the most by the passage of something mistakenly referred to as the "color blind initiative". White women should realize that there is a potentially strong ally among people of color in the struggle for equality. For example, the major male leader present at the First Women's Rights convention in this country was Frederick Douglas an ex-slave, Black man. Therefore, I urge white women to come together with us to fight this initiative. Question: What exactly does this initiative represents politically? Answer: This initiative is part of a broader agenda that in California has included: de-funding education, huge build up of the present system, passage of proposition 187, three strikes you're out . 'An agenda which clearly says to people of color you don't belong'. If people want to be so a historical as to believe that we have ever had a meritocracy, I urge them to consider why do we repeatedly enact legislation banning race and gender discrimination? We continue to live in a segregated society some would call it apartheid. SHOULD THE CCRI PASS? Some students on campus responded to the question. Andrew Dasinger Business Major "I Think CCRI should pass. People are being hired just because they are Black, Hispanic orfitthe quota. The job should go to the best qualified applicant." Michael Todd Business Major Eileen Whyte Liberal Studies I don't think this initiative if passed would be beneficial to anyone. I believein diversification. Minorities are not giving a chance." "I don't believe the elimination of quotas is the answer. Perhaps, there is a need to redefine its purpose". Alejandra Amatulli Liberal Studies 1 believe this initiative goes beyond racism; its an attack on women. It is a desperate effort on the part of men to undermine women. Men have realized the power women can potentially have, and feel threatened by it". a Photos by Claudia Vazquez Maria De la Luz Mejia Valdez Social Science Major "I believe putting this initiative on the ballot would only send us back to the 1950's. We have made a lot of progress thanks to affirmative action; without it not only minorities would be affected but women as well". Michael Roberts Accounting Major tt I fully support the CCRI because affirmative action has served its purpose. People should be measured on their individual merits". �CSUSM Plans Commencement for 1995 Final plans a re being made for t he 1994-95 g raduates and t he commencement ceremony.

College Students Needed by Aimee LePore I decided in my first year of college t hat I was going to be find out what I enjoyed doing and somehow turn it into a career. I knew t hat I liked helping people and I also liked working under challenging conditions, so one day I called the Red Cross and scheduled an interview to become a diaster volunteer. The first thing I was asked to do was to sign up for a free "Introduction to Diaster Services" class so I could learn about all the different djobs that people volunteer to work during diasters. The Red Cross has over 22 volunteer positions that people can specialize in from surveying damage, feeding people, setting up shelters, tto answering phones and working in a supply warehouse—all part of the overall relief effort during disasters. When I arrived at Class, the Disaster Director told us that our instructor would be a little late because she was up all night helping out on a fire and that she had not had a chance to eat yet. As the Director went on to explain how the Red Cross responds to fires and helps with the emergency needs of the fire victims, I was instantly fascinated. All through the class I was so excited about finding my nitch that during the break, I asked the instructor if I could sign up to be an intern in the disaster services department. So began my volunteer career at the Red Cross. In the coming months I took free training classes in almost everything the Red Cross hasd to Offer. During my first month in disaster services, the Guejito brush fires struck the North County and the Red Cross opened its Emergency Operations Center. I was asked if I was willing to go to a Temporary Evacuation Point in Romona to relieve some of the disaster volunteers who had worked long hours feeding, sheltering and caring for area residents who were evacuated due to the fire. Off I went to Ramona where I spent the night. I began Going to the disaster department on adaily basis after school. I became heavily involved in working on a handbook for new disaster volunteers coming into the system and I soon 1 moved into a set volunteer staff position in volunteer development. I assisted with recruiting, maintaining, training, and counseling volunteers through their training. I also became an instructor of disaster classes and attended a Southern California Disaster Institute in the Summer of 1994. In addition to helping with the fires that occur on a daily basis in San Diego County, I have been there to help the Red Cross with staffing and mass feeding whenever there has been a large disaster in our area. I am also qualified to work on national d isasters throughout the U. S. and nearly went to Georgia this past summer to help with the flood relief effort in the Southeastern states. Anyone interested in learning more about the Red Cross disaster services program can contact Leona Bielefeld at the Red Cross at 2912620x606.

In this, our inaugural column, we'll forgo the commentary on current events. But to give you an idea of how POTSHOTS will work, we've created the following example: READER'S POTSHOT: In November the people took back their government. The electorate clearly embraced conservatism while rejecting the misguided values of liberals, who we in the mainstream know are nothing more than counter-cultural McGoverniksl - N.G. of Atlanta Nice try N.G., but isn't there a little irony in your attempt at making liberals look evil by evoking the name of a man who lost the 1972 bid for the presidency to an individual who is remembered for his complicity in nearly throwing our nation into a bigger constitutional crisis than any scheming counter-culturalist could have dreamed of? Had the counter-culture yielded in the 60s, we might still be stuck in the quagmire of Southeast Asia convinced that a technowar victory was imminent; had it not decided to make waves in the 702s, we may have witnessed the suspension of the constitution to protect a corrupt president; and its idleness in the 80s may have granted defacto authorization for any two-bit military officer tb set foreign policy! We may not be as fortunate in the future. Whatever the outcome, all we can hope is that counter-cultural McGoverniks don't have to re-emerge to clean up a new mess created by by Doug Woelke POTSHOTS is the printed media's version of talk radio without the radio; the phone; or the obnoxious, pompous, overweight program host providing an endless pontification of the virtues of the new trend towards conservatism that was manifested by November's election results. We've replaced the radio with this publication; the phone with e-mail (or letters); and the host with an equally obnoxious, pompous, but rather scrawny columnist who is in search of disagreement and not "dit-. tos" as he exposes the folly of conservative ideology. Beginning with our next issue, the format will remain consistent. The column will begin with a brief (but opinionated) commentary on current events involving ideas, policies, or remarks made by national, state, or local politicians from either side of the political spectrum.

M arch 2 C - 2 S J �Health In Cyber Space by Dr. Joel Grinolds Although I have not logged on, the nation's on-line computer services are apparently now beingfloodedby user groups and bulletin boards providing an abundance of health information. According to a recent study by the Tufts University Diet and Nutrition Letter Staff, much of the advice in the health bulletin boards is a "veritable minefield of misstatements, half-truths and downright falsehoods." Some say it is as it has been in the past "the consumer beware." At this time there is no agency responsible for the scientific accuracy of the content. A number of the bulletin boards were established by reputable organizations such as the Muscular Dystrophy Association and provide qualified professionals to supervise them. No one would doubt the value of some of these types of services, especially for people who may have limited mobility or circumstances that limit their ability to access information outside their home. However, in an another study by Dr. John H. Renner, the Director of the Consumer Health Information Research Institute which monitors health fraud, multiple situations were found with scientifically unproven products and misinformation. This scenario was most often seen with bulletin boards set up for people with HIV disease, cancer and obesity. He states "it now takes a few seconds to spread misinformation faster and farther than we ever knew." There is no doubt some useful information and support occur with he online health bulletin boards but I would argue it should not substitute for health advice offered by ones own trusted medical professionals including physicians, nurse practitioners, nutritionists etc. At Student Health Services we feel a well informed patient/consumer is essential in the environment of providing quality primary and preventive health care. We have a vast array of health information available. All you have to do is ask. We are located at Craven Hall 1300 or call 750-4915.

S. 1st Annual "Latin Film Festival" by Claudia M. Acosta-Vasquez The Association ofLatin American Students (A.L. A.S.) is holding its First annual Festival which began on February 9th and runs thru April 30, 1995. The three months' festival includes weekly evenihg screenings with introduction and post film discussions on Latin films. 'The purpose ofthe festival is to educate the public about Latin American culture", explains Joan Schoenleber, vice-president of A. L. A. S. Faculty members from the College of Arts and Sciences lecture on the setting, social or political aspect of the films. Professors from the Departments of Literature , Foreign Language, Ethnic Studies, Performing Arts and Social Sciences collaborate in the festival producing an educational and cultural event that transcends the classroom setting. Dean Victor Rocha welcomed the film festival during its first screening, Belle Epoque (Spain), introduced Dr. Francisco Martin. Dr. Martin is professor of Spanish Literature, and a native of Spain is the faculty advisor to A. L. A. S. The Association of Latin American Students founded last semester by three female students form Nicaragua, Panama and Chile. They began sponsoring cultural activities last October, when a Merecumbe dance form Costa Rica swung tropical rhythms on Fonder* s Plaza. The Association is currently Planning a "Latin Night" on campus which would include a show and a salsa music dance. Their goal is to promote and preserve the Latin American culture through the Arts.

As t he policies and procedures for t he Honors Program s tates, "Students who accumulate 12 or more Honors credits, who complete t he University Honors Seminar, and who document meaningful community service may then qualify for University Honors a t graduation. Completion of t he University Honors P rogram will be explicityly noted on t he Student's diploma and transcript." This Recognition is distinct from t he common commencement honors recognition based soley on GPA (summa cum laude, magna cum laude, and cum laude; with highest honors, with high honors and with honors, respectively). For example, a student may graduate with summa cum laude and with University Honors, if he/ she completed t he Honors Program a s well as earned a high GPA. Given t he high academic standards of t his university and t he caliber of students t hat attend CSUSM, it might be surprising t hat few students are enrolled in r i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i L the program for University Honors. This does not suggest any lack oftalent on campus but might be attributed to t he newness of t he program. Not many students understand what is required for, nor do students understand t he rewards of participating in t he honors program. There are many way to fulfill t his requisite. Criteria for acceptable activities include: "offcampus involvement in coaching, directing and organizingcommunity a ctivities (e. g., tutoring in local p rimary a nd secondary schools,....etc.), and on-campus i nvolvement i n t utoring, practicum in Public administraStudents must complete two tion and t he library, and other In-Course Honors projects, with volunteer activities.

Although he did not want to drop any classes, he ended u p dropping two because the work load, understandably, became too much for him to handle. Instead of graduating this month like he had expected, he will b e back to finish next fall. "It j ust gets a little bit f rustrating, because you get so close to a goal and you t hink you're working towards something," he said. "There's k ind of a sense of urgency to graduate, and now it's not happening. T hat's probably the hardest thing " " It's that finishing his degree was so tightly linked t o his relationship with his father," said Dr. Fernando Soriano, G orman's human development professor. "He was racing against time, and when (his father) did pass away, he was still racing. You couldn't b e a hamster going 100 miles p er hour. He needed time to grieve."

"He was a great dad, you know," Gorman said. "He was there to b e there for you and at the same time to let you know when you were acting up." Soriano could not help but notice the love Gorman h ad for his father. It was a "mutual, b eautiful love that they had f or one another," he said.

He said that working with his clients h as helped h im keep going. " They've b een kind of an inspiration, you know.

G orman h as tried to stay positive, and wants t o "enjoy life and t ake more f ree time," he said. " Maybe I 'll b e able to enjoy (next semester) more.

"There are many advantages to the celebration being held in Del Mar," she said. "The stage is on the track and the guests have a perfect view of the whole process. You never have to worry about limiting guests." Villa continued, "You don't have to sit in the sun for two hours, there are bathrooms on every level, great picture opportunities and many restaurants nearby. The only complaint we've received was that the guests had to pay for parking. Other than that there have no more complaints." Sheila Manning, a graduate of the 2002 class who is also a current employee in the office of Enrollment Services Management as an information specialist said, "Having been a part of California State University San Marcos commencement as a student and staff member I've seen it f rom both sides and been impressed on both occasions. Not only is it a beautiful venue, it also allows students to invite as many friends and family as they'd like." A concern for some graduating next year may be the cost of such a venue. "The cost does come from student fees," Villa sayd, adding that when AI tracked the budget, they found that the first year in Del Mar was not a significant cost increase. "We rent the site as a package and the vendors are already included in that p ackage traffic, parking attendance, bleachers," Villa said. "Here at Cal State San Marcos we had to higher extra staff, have them work overtime, clean up before and after, hire highway patrol, rent facilities, chairs and bleachers. So they cancel each other out." Charlotte Strauwald, a senior who will graduate May 15, says that she was a little disappointed that the ceremony will be held off-campus but is excited that she gets to invite her ten guests. M U S I C H O U S E A N D G 0 U R M I T 6 RI L L CEREMONY, from page 1 portion. Professor Janet McDaniel will welcome the graduates and their guests on behalf of the faculty. Melani Da Pron will be the student speaker at the 9:00 a.m. ceremony and Elizabeth Kingsbury will be the 3:00 p.m. student speaker.

It was kinda like being at a club with a whole bunch of your friends without those sleazy guys that hangs out at places like PB Bar & Grill. The ones that hang out between the bar arid the dance floor and hit on every single woman, even the ones you're with. You know the ones. How does it feel to be graduating this month? I 'm excited to be done with school. It will be nice to go home and have no homework to do. Although all my professors would argue that I don't do it any way. It feels good to be recognized for all this work and I 'm also getting a math degree. So, if anyone tries to step, I can be like, 'hey, I 've got a math degree.' What are your plans for the summer? Initially, I was supposed to work. I was supposed to spend this semester looking for a job, but I didn't get around to doing that. So, I 'm probably going to decide if I like Pacifico or Negra Modelo better and hang out with my dog. What will you miss the most about CSUSM? Photo by Elizabeth Baldwin/ The Pride Brett Gladys provides servio with smile at the barbeque luncheon in front of Kellogg Library to promote CSUSM's annual Luau event. I think I 'll miss my friends here a lot. Any last words of encouragement, or advice, for students that will be coming back to CSUSM next year? I often hear people complain about lack of student life on campus, and they're wrong. There is student life on campus. You all hang out in the library and computer labs talking on Instant Messenger. You're sitting in your cars in between classes and your acting way too cool talking on your cell phones. I have a blast every single time I come to campus. And it is not just because I 'm fabulously good looking. It's because I say hi to people. I go up to events and I try hard to make this place into a campus I want to be a part of. So if you want this place to have student life . .. get out of the library and computer labs and your cars, and say hi to somebody on Founders Plaza.

Now that you have worked your brain into shape during the first 15 weeks of the semester which is what I call the regular season of school, it is almost time to show what you are made of. As we heaci f or the home stretch we know w e are getting to the end as we can see the finish line right in front of us. Finals week or as I call it the playoffs, is that week we are all forced to man u p and step into the ring. Some people start preparing weeks in advance f or finals and they usually come out victorious when they write that home run A grade paper or pitch that perfect presentation. However, many people are pressure players like me. We wait until the last possible second to experience the urgency of going into the extra innings of studying at the wee hours of the night. The pressure players usually come out on top by throwing that Hail Mary touchdown to pass the test. Throughout the studying process we occasionally stumble over those hurdles when w e realize there are more exciting things that we could be doing. However, most of us keep our eyes on the trophy. The trophy f or some of you veterans is that piece of paper that you have worked f or which says you are ready to retire from CSUSM. The trophy f or us rookies is j ust the simple fact that we d on't have to set an alarm f or another three months. So, as the p layoffs approach all of us, remember to stick it out. Also d on't forget to keep your eyes on the prize while giving 110 percent. So, with a ll of those sports clichés said, here is two more; Break a leg and go get e m'. SPORTS Women's softball takes 2nd at Nationals BY JONATHAN RODLEY Pride Staff Writer Six months ago 16 girls picked u p bats and gloves and started throwing a softball around. Some had played in highschool, f or others it was their first time stepping onto the field. The girls had t hree coaches, led by Ferman Cardoza, head coach, to guide the Cougars at weekly workouts. " They practiced hard in practice and it showed on the diamond," Cordoza said. The team captain, Tisha McElhiney, scheduled games with other colleges for scrimmage. But these weren't other intramurals, the Cougars played against collegiate level teams. " When w e're out on the field, we push each other, we p ush ourselves," McElhiney said. The team worked together, and as their relationships grew, their skill level improved, she said. A fter 26 games, at 13 and 13, it was t ime f or t he National Championship. I n Chino Hills, at t he field of dreams stadium, they f aced teams f rom around the country. The Cougars crushed their opponents early on with scores like 6 -0 against the Naval Academy and 13-2 with Ohio State. D uring day two, The Cougars defeated the number one seed Kansas State with a w in of 4-2. That landed them automatically in the semis. ' "Are you kidding me, you beat the number one team,' they couldn't believe it," McElhiney said about umpires and other team coaches. "Eventually other teams started playing deep in the field." A fter their success, it was time to f ace once again, The Navel Academy, which squeaked into the final by defeating Kansas State. But the final unfortunately, is where the Cougars played their second and third losses of the tournament. The Cougars' pitcher, Jamie Beaty, served the team proper during its nine game series with 80 strikeouts. McElhainy hit over a .700 during the tournament and both players made it on the M VP team. So a fter training for five months, the team to beat ended u p being a f resh group of f aces f rom Cal State San Marcos. "We did it as a team, and we always have," McElhiney said. "We're doing it for each other." The next season for Cougars softball begins Spring 2005. Collegiate sports sign off for the season BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer As the academic year ends, so does the year in sports f or cougar athletics. Among the highlights f or the Track and Field team includes their performance at Point Loma Invitational finishing 2nd in the Women's 4X400 Meter Relay and finishing 2nd in the M en's 4X800 Meter Relay. The team is coming down the home stretch trying to finish strong. They did so with a victory in the M en's 4X100 Meter Relay at the UCSD Triton Invitational. The team still has the Occidental Invitational May 8 and the Claremont Classic May 15 before the team competes at the N AIA National Championships in Louisville, Kentucky. The M en's golf team came into this year with high expectations and they have not disappointed so far. Among the highlights f or the team was claiming 1st place at the Grand Canyon Invitational and a 3ed place finish at the CSU Bakersfield Invitational. The team competed last week in the NAIA Region II championships and took 2nd place overall which means they will be heading to the NAIA national championships in Olathe, Kansas. The Women's golf team did not have the same high expectations that the M en's team had coming into the season, but they did not disappoint either. Among the highlights f or the Women's team was 3ed place finishes at the Western Washington Invitational and at the CSU San Marcos Cougar Invitational. The Cross Country team had a decent season as well. The highlight of the year was a victory at the Vanguard Invitational. They ended strong with back to back top 3 finishes at the regional championships and then at the national championships. So, until next year Cougar fans.

During my time as ombudsman, I communicated with many readers on issues regarding grammar, spelling, content and the political orientation of The Pride. I recall last Semester when the words I heard were rarely good and, in fact, were quite scathing at times; Over time, the hardwork that the staff had been piitting in began to pay o ff: words o fpoignant criticism gave way to compliments on the recognized progress that The Pride was making. Even so, I was certain that some readers would never be won over by any effort that The Pride staff exerted to rectify the paper. However, my certainty was dispelled when some of the harshest critics emailed me acknowledge the steady progress and advancement of Thej^ride. I thank a Uof you who did let me know your thoughts on what we were doing, especially those who were particularly harsh, because without fhat honest feedback, there would have not been t hi spark to initiate the change fer tWs semester; Over t he course o^the past semester, The JPride has truly solidified into a decent newspaper embodying the breadth of interests that comprise our campus community here at CSUSM. Th§ u i^w&aieiit T he Pridb has undergone is due t o the dedication and hard work of the staff, from both this semester and last, as well a s the interests and concerns expressed by readers in the feedback t received through email a nd in pdrson, Without reader feedback, The Pride wouW b e lacking in direction since our purpose k t o provide a varietyof stories that inform and also entertain our r eader. In addition to being the last edition of this semester and, as such this academic school year, t hisedition of The Pride also represents the tost edition in which I will be assuming the role of ombudsman.

The Pride apologizes for these errors,-;' As the Co-Editors-in-Chief, we would like to finally introduce ourselves to our readers and give proper recognition to the dedication of those that we could not have done this without. At the beginning of the school year, The Pride began with two Editor-in-Chiefs, Jon Rodley and Elizabeth Baldwin. Jon had previous experience in journalism. Elizabeth had a strong foundation in accounting management. The two of us joined forces and set out to use our individual talents to create the best weekly newspaper possible. Each week, we strive to make The Pride fair and balanced, entertaining and accessible to all students. We are very proud of all the challenges we faced at the beginning of the year. Through long hours, constant compromise and a committed staff, we have conquered every obstacle in our way. A standing ovation to our section editors who have brought so much creative genius to The Pride and have accomplished their jobs with the smallest amount of resources possible: Sarah Carlin, Katie Sammons, Lisa George, Melissa Rodriguez and Tom Pfingston. Yes, mistakes have been made in The Pride (as many of our readers have pointed out). A huge round of applause goes to our Ombudsman, Mike Dolan, for his tireless effort to correct all of our errors. A hip-hip-hurray to our adviser, Jenifer Woodring, who has been our constant cheerleader guiding us through all the ups and downs of a college newspaper. And most importantly, we take a humble bow to our readers. We value all of our readers and thank you for your support. It is so wonderful to see students sitting on benches in Founders Plaza reading a copy of The Pride. We wish you a fabulous summer.

" It's O utrageous" the debut album f rom N o Gain is twelve tracks of uninhibited songs about girls, surfing, and hardcore breakups, all done with Japanese style. From the v ery first track titled "Never Change," listeners c an't help but b e drawn into the f our p art vocal harmonies, simple chord progressions, and melodies that will stick with you for days to come.

I n t he last column, we talked about an information-literate person as being someone who h as t he ability to locate, retrieve, analyze and evaluate information. This know-how applies n ot only t o knowing how t o do research in t he library b ut in your everyday life as well. Did you know t hat t he number one means by which people acquire information is by asking someone they know — usually a friend? While t his may be useful for finding a good r estaurant in t he neighborhood or directions to t heir house, one can easily imagine s ituations w here a sking a friend may be inappropriate or e ven u nethical. F urther, t he wrong information or "bad advice" could r uin a friendship. Becoming information literate is a multistage process. First, you need to acquire t he ability t o know when you have an information need, t hat is when a situation in your life r equires information. Second, you need to know where t o look for t hat information. Do I need t o contact a government agency, t alk t o my professor, talk to a counselor, and/or go t o t he library? Third is t he process of retrieval. Today, especially in Cal S tate San Marcos' library, you need a modicum of computer lit- Ut!veJ\U eracy to retrieve information, or you may need strong communication skills. Once you have retrieved your information, be it from a government official or from a computerized database, you are not done. You need to analyze and evaluate t hat information. This can be done by asking yourself these following questions: What is my focus? What do I need t o know? How much information do I need? Do I need specialized information? Is t he author or source qualified? Is t he source biased? Was t he material or information edited, censored or changed in any way? Where was t he information published or who h as made i t available? When was t he information published or how c urrent is it? Do experts agree on t he information? The important thing to remember is to ask questions—ask questions of yourself and of others. Remember t hat t he only stupid question is t he one you do not ask! Becoming information literate can be a long process, b ut acquiring t his abilitv can mean t he difference between staying afloat or drowning in a sea of information. So become a navigator ; be information literate and explore t he world of information.

It was bad enough to see t his man r un television ads during t he primaries spouting his belieft hat Americans need to r eturn to "old-fashioned values" while holding some sort of "book of virtues" in his hand. J ust how "virtuous" a man is he? I found out while looking t hrough my mail last week. Mr. Huffington sent me a very slick, full-color four-page pamphlet with a red heading t hat read, "The Feinstein Family Business. Greed and Special I nterest Politics." "The Feinstein Family Business is a story of greed and special interest politics," it stated. " It shows how career politicians m anipulate t he system t o place t heir interests...ahead of yours." I t was full of some of t he meanest, most h ateful, most cynical attacks on an opposing candidate I have ever seen in politics. This i sn't to deny t hat Dianne Feinstein h as p ut f orth her share of negative campaigning, b ut "Mr. Virtues" Huffington h as used his personal fortune to raise negative campaigning to new heights. About t hree weeks ago, "Saturday Night Live" r an some of i ts own made-up campaign commercials based on some of t he mudslinging going on around t he country. One of those commercials was for Michael Huffington. It showed t he face of Dianne F einstein, a nd t he a nnouncer s tated, "Dianne Feinstein doesn't support prayer in school. Why? Because she's a Jew." After receiving about five mailers from t his man, and seeing his incredibly negative commercials, I can actually believe he would produce such a commercial in reality. But t hat's not all. Back during t he primaries, Huffington also portrayed himself as a family man, yet family seems to mean nothing to him when it comes to politics. In its Oct. 26 edition, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported t hat, "US Senate candidate Michael Huffington, a fter complaining bitterly t hat his wife has been attacked unfairly, is airing scathing new ads accusing Sen. Dianne Feinstein's husband of profiting from h er votes for student loans."

After t outing his support for Proposition 187 (which calls for b arring illegal immigrants from public education and health care services), t he Union-Tribune and other media reported H uffington's own "nannygate." "With his US Senate campaign suddenly consumed in controversy, Rep. Michael Huffington yesterday defended his sheltering of an illegal immigrant nanny as an act of love a nd compassion," reported t he Union-Tribune on Oct. 28. According to t he article, "The revelation has proven a major embarrassment to t he Republican candidate, who h as made a crusade recently of cracking down on illegal immigration. His support of Proposition 187 ... has become a key element of his campaign." T he r eport went on to say t hat while Huffington s tated t hat t he buck stopped with him, he placed most of t he blame for t he fowl-up on his wife. Huffington h as made it a point to tell people about how Sen. Dianne Feinstein h as made a career out of politics, despite t he fact she h as held h er senate seat for only two years. Huffington himself has only lived in California for j ust a little longer t han F einstein's t erm of office. T here a re definitely two sides to Michael Huffington, and t hat fact was best summed u p by a comment he made recently on CBS Evening News. He said t hat if he is elected, he will not legislate. He even went so far as to say t hat " that's w hat congress has been d oing f or 2 00 y ears." T hat's r ight. Congress's job is to legislate. So if t hat's not what he is going to do if h e's elected, why is he r unning in t he f irst place?

This arises from t he fact t hat these may pay a s little as $3 p er hour when t he going wage may be $5. The direct beneficiary is t he employer, w ho pockets t he difference — t he $2 per hour. If t hat same See BETTERf page 1 �BETTER, continued from page 6 worker sends his children to our public school or uses free health care, t he burden is carried by t he taxpayer. In t hat sense, t he burden is shifted from t he employer, who pays t he low wage, to t he public taxpayer. To correct t he imbalance of benefits and costs, t he $2 gained by t he employer who hires t he low-wage worker could be taxed to support t he social costs. I t is proposed t hat a surtax be levied upon t he employer for t he difference in pay between the going rate and lower amount paid. Funds from the surtax could then support public education, health and welfare which benefit t he worker. The issue is not politics. It is economic justice. To penalize t he worker was forbidden by law 1,500 years BC, and it should apply today: "Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant t hat is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren or of thy strangers t hat are in thy land within thy gates" (Deuteronomy, 24:14). THOMAS LEE HUNTINGTON Rename Craven Hall Pride file photo While the outside of Craven Hall may appear orderly, many have complained about its maze-like layout inside. HALL, continued from page 2 the name of a Washington state firm on them. Let's look a t t he plans. The second-floor hallway has even-numbered rooms on both sides, with a few stray odd-numbered rooms thrown in. However, I rving F. Davis, P hD the north-south corridor of t he west wing Oct. 26 has all odd-numbered rooms throughout. On t he first floor, all t he obvious rooms have even numbers, with the odd numbers Davis is a professor emeritus of finance assigned to rooms not accessible from t he from Cal State Fresno and serves as pro-tern hall. There seems to be no consistency in adviser for the Cal State San Marcos chap- room numbering. ter of Intervarsity Christian Fellowship. One elevator, a t t he north-east corner of Craven, can only be entered from outside t he building. On every floor, one steps off this elevator and walks outside to t he stair landing and t hen back in through doors which lead to t he "east and north wings." On t he fourth, f ifth and sixth floors t he room numbers get smaller as you move down t he hallway going east and west. However, in t he east wing of t he sixth floor all t he room numbers s tart high and gradually get smaller. If we take another look at those plans, we find t hat t he architect or draftsman/ woman must have started numberingrooms from t he southeast corner of t he building. If you s tart each floor by coming in a t t hat entrance — taking t he stairs to each floor because there is no elevator in this part of Craven—there is more of a sense of method r ather t han madness. But you can't get to the first or second floors from here because those floors don't have an east wing. In addition, first-time visitors and new students are not likely to enter through this "back door." Again, you might take a front-entrance elevator to the third floor in hopes of finding t he library on t hat floor since t hat is its location. You step off t he elevator, step out into t he hall, and find t hat t he two large double doors there have signs saying, "Don't Open, Alarm Will Sound." You can't get there from here (or a t least you thought you couldn't until someone p ut a sign up on t he third, smaller door t hat leads out to t he library courtyard). Beverly Stearns, sociology student assistant, says t hat t he plan "makes no sense whatsoever. The ladies' restroom is clear in t he other wing. The office windows don't open, so t here's no access t o cool air and our n atural climate,"- she «aid< fttfiii! prospective;?!!?? andotherspP® for thespfingjli /|emestetf?J|il tnteffiste^tafl u s.a®|4998| The plans show t hat t he "toilets" are only in t he n orth wing for t he sixth, second and first floors. They are located in t he north and east wings for t he f ifth, fourth and third floors. I t's quicker to go to t he bathroom by going downstairs from t he sixth floor of t he east wing to t he f ifth floor east wing toilets, t han to go from t he east wing to t he n orth wing of t he sixth floor. If this all sounds confusing — it is. History major MarkCavender said t hat the first time he had to meet with a professor, h e had to ask t hree or four people for directions. " It's like a maze," he described. "It was something new and confusing and took getting used to. Admissions and Records opens to Founders Plaza, so it seems more like t he f irst floor to me," Cavender said, "though i t's actually on t he f ifth floor." Founders' Plaza is t he locus onto which t he other academic buildings open. Form o ver f unction "It looks like someone designed t he outside attractively, t hen sort of threw in t he rooms," Dr. Therese Baker explained. There is a lack of proper relationship between t he outside of t he building and t he inside, she said. "Actually, t here's a disjuncture between t he frame of t he building and its interior." Everyone has trouble "finding one's way around — finding rooms." The real solution intra-departmentally, Baker said, will be when groups of disciplines can interact and work more closely together a fter more buildings are built in t he f uture. However, t hat won't solve t he problems inherent in Craven's physical layout itself. T he s tudents who have been w ith CSUSM since i ts inception nught have benefited from another orientation with t he opening of this new building. In t he meantime, visitors and newcomers need personal maps. The maps could s tart with "you are here" to show visitors where they entered t he building and include north, south, east, west arrows. The maps could show t he room-numbering plan, t he stairs, all elevators and where t he visitors are on any given floor in relation to other buildings nearby. Renumbering t he rooms might also help, or we could simply resign ourselves to "just getting used to it." > Cal State San Marcos was founded on the principle t hat a respect for cultural and ethnic diversity is an integral and necessary part of a complete college education. This was a somewhat risky chance for the founders of our university to take. Situated in t he middle of an extremely conservative region, CSUSM has always stood out as a kind of intellectual and cultural oasis in provincial, reactionary North County. But the school administration made a difficult choice early on to weave issues of ethnicity and global awareness into the core curriculum of the university, and it has certainly paid off. I, for one, feel t hat my educational experience here a t CSUSM has been immeasurably heightened by the emphasis on cultural diversity. Our campus has become almost a perfect microcosm of the diverse world outside, only this time we get to start over and do it all right. But the outside world can only be shut out for so long. State Senator William Craven, the man whose name graces our administration building, whose likeness illuminates the front entrance of our campus, the man whose tireless political support made the creation of this university possible, has made another in a series of racist, ignorant public statements. This is no offhanded comment or racist joke, though; what Craven has done is no less than advocate the implementation of a pseudo-police state in which Hispanics would be forced to c any ID cards at all times. Craven, whose support was invaluable in the creation of this university, has taken a clear public stance against everything this university stands for. Craven's comments show no respect for humanity, no respect for the constitution of the United States, and certainly not the healthy respect for diversity t hat CSUSM attempts to create in all students. The fact that Craven is attempting to use illegal immigration as a hot-button campaign issue is not in itself surprising; there is not a savvy politician in the state of California who hasn't made grandiose statements playing on people's fears and resentments about immigration. But what Craven has done goes far beyond the realm of mere inflammatoiy political rhetoric. He has stated t hat all Hispanics (or, indeed, anyone who even appears not to have been born in this country) do not have the right to retain the civ3 liberties guaranteed them by the United States constitution. This is racism, pure and simple, and it has nothingtodo with the very real problem of illegal immigration. The Academic Senate recently voted unanimously to advise t he removal of Craven's name from t he administration building. The administration should immediately followsuit. PresidentBill Stacy should make a public statement deploring Craven's statement and promising t hat we will accept no f urther support, political or otherwise, from a man whose principles are anathema to our mission statement. CSUSM has so f ar b een v ery s uccessful a t m aking multiculturalism a living, viable principle; this is no time to s tart treating it as empty rhetoric. Huntington is a Pride staff writer. �It's a Black Thang! By Gregg Simmons Contributing Writer T hat's what t he general public tends to think when it comes to Sickle Cell Anemia. I t is t rue t hat t he predominate carriers are Africans and African Americans, but other ethnic groups are also carriers. Sickle cell anemia is a blood disease which impairs blood circulation and it currently effects50,000-60,000people in t he United States. The debilitating nature of the disease can lead to damage to vital organs such as t he brain, lungs and kidneys or even death. The lack ofknowledge about sickle cell and/or t he misnomer t hat only blacks have sickle cell have prevented many non-blacksfromreceiving t he proper medication to limit t he amount of damage t he disease can cause. Can I Catch S ickle Cell A nemia From S omeone Who Has It? No. Sickle cell disease is inherited. A child has a 25% change of inheriting t he disease if both parents have t he sickle cell t rait. I t is possible t hat a person can inherit t he sickle cell t rait and live a healthy life without ever developing t he disease. Who Are The Primary Carriers of S ickle Cell Anemia? Africans, African Americans, South a nd C entral Americans, Hispanics, Greeks, Sicilians, Turks, East Indians, and Arabians are t he primary carriers Current statistical information states t hat one out of three Africans, one out of 375 African Americans, and one out of 30,000 Hispanics, have t he t rait. Compared to one out of ten African American babies born with t he trait, one out of 180 Hispanics, and one out of 660 Caucasians in t he United States. What Are S ome Of T he Symptoms Of S ickle Cell Anemia? Symptoms of sickle cell anemia include painful joints, jaundice, frequent infections or slow growth patterns. There can be other medical problems but they vary with each person. Is There A Test F or S ickle Cell Anemia or I t's Trait? Yes. A blood test called hemoglobin electrophoresis can now identify people who have either t he t rait or t he disease. Currently in 40 states each newborn is tested for sickle cell anemia (30 states test all babies including California, and ten states test only African American babies). I s T here A Cure F or S ickle Cell Anemia? Although there are many new ideas which may lead to a cure, there is no drug or therapy to correct t he disease. Many of t he symptoms from the disease can be controlled with medication and good preventive health care. Sickle cell anemia is a disease t hat effects not j ust one group of people. I t is a health problem t hat with education and funding can be cured.

Last day for flu vaccines Thursday, November 10 from noon to 4:00 PM is t he last scheduled day for the Flu Vaccine Clinic a t Student Health Services. Who should get t he vaccine? Persons who are a t risk include those with cardiovascular (heart) disease, chronic pulmonary (lung) disease including asthma, chronic metabolic disease (diabetes), people age 60 or older, persons with impaired immune systems, health care workers and anyone having extensive contact with high-risk persons. Because t he vaccine is, a killed virus vaccine (as opposed to attenuated), t he shot CANNOT give you t he flu. There is no charge for enrolled CSUSM students to receive t he flu shot. Students who cannot attend during t he scheduled clinic times may call t he Student Health Center a t 752-4915 for an alternate appointment time. ZING WITH G INSENG-AN ALTERNATIVE TO CAFFEINE By Amy J. Cubbisott Contributing Writer Many people have heard about t he popular Asian herb ginseng b ut, they probably don't know about all of t he magical powers it possesses. There are several different types of ginseng. The most widely distributed and highly acclaimed is Korean cultivated ginseng. There are many inferior types such as Siberian. I t is best to steer clear from these types because they are a waste of time and money. Ginseng is a unique herb which is m ade u p of c ompounds c alled ginsenosides. These ginsenosides act a s hormones and strengthen t he endocrine glands. They a re what give ginseng its unique qualities. Some reasons ginseng is so popular is because of its capabilities to act as a stimulant and a tonic; it can increase mental alertness, reduce stress, regulate blood pressure, act as an antidiabetic, increase sex drive, and help to age gracefully. Overall, ginseng's major strengths lie within its ability t o detoxify and normalize t he body systems. Ginseng aids in harmonizing t he body and all of its functions. Unlike other substances, ginseng is non-toxic and remains in reserve until needed. I t adapts to each persons body and is only utilized in areas where a person is deficient. Ginseng acts as a stimulant and increases energy. As an alternative to caffeine, it will not cause j itters or interfere with a person's normal sleep. The benefits of ginseng a re seen a fter only one dosage b ut serious results don't surface until a fter six m onths'use. Recommended dosages vary but are listed on t he individual packages. I t is available in a array of forms such as drops, raw root, capsules or tea and can be found in most health food stores. I t is not inexpensive so it is best to t ry a sample before purchasing a larger supply. This enables t he buyer to decide if t he product benefits him or her and is worth t he added expense. The benefits of t his miraculous Asian herb a re never ending. As f ar as negative side effects, they are minimal. Ginseng is a safe, n atural substance. In t he Orient, t he old and wisefromcenturies past haye been utilizing ginseng. Maybe t his is t he secret t hat enables many people in t he Orient t o become "old" and "wise." Unplanned Pregnancy?

Co staR ican dancers osta R live it up at Founders' Plaza By Joann Schoenleber Contributing Writer On Wednesday a fternoon, Oct. 19, a young Costa Rican dance g roup called Merecumbe b rought F ounder's Plaza t o life with t heir enticing r hythms and foreign flavor. Merecumbe is a dance which h as a s trong Afro-Caribbean influence, and t he element of seduction is one of i ts most salient characteristics. Sensual movements of t he waist a nd hips a ccentuate t he dance. T he event was sponsored by t he Association ofLatin American S tudents (ALAS). Claudia Vasquez, p resident of ALAS, a rranged t he event. Prof. Lionel Maldonado was acting m aster of ceremonies. When t he d ancers began to p erform, s tudents a nd s taff alike got caught u p in t he tropical r hythms of Merecumbe. T he dancers created a n a tmosphere all t heir own. With t heir expressive movements a nd s triking costumes, t he dancers b rought a bout a flowing m ixture of vivid colors and exotic tropical r hythms. Over 100 s tudents gathered a round t o watch t he dancers p erform. Even s tudents inside Academic Hall looked out ofwindows in search oft he r hythm's source. Although t he a rrangements w ere m ade a t t he last m inute, Vasquez was delighted t o b ring t his exotic dance sensation t o t he CSUSM campus. "This is exactly w hat ALAS is all a bout," said Vasquez, a nd hopes t o sponsor m any more events like Merecumbe. P t is r are t hat a f ilmmaker comes I along who can effect t he very f ab J L ric a nd a esthetic of i nternational cinema. Indeed, t here a re m any t alented directors a nd w riters who c raft exquisite, i mportant films on a r egular basis. But t he t rue g iants of t he film world a re t hose a rtists whose vision goes f ar beyond t he confines of a single film, a rtists whose style a nd t alent allow t hem t o t ake chances lesser d irectors would only d ream of. O rson W elles, I ngemar B ergman, Frederico Fellini, Woody Allen, Robert Altman, M artin Scorcese; t hese a re all a uthors whose style a nd vision have made a n indelible i mprint on our collective cinematic consciousness. I t may b e a b it p remature t o a dd Q uentin T arantino t o t hat list, b ut is t rue t hat T arantino is doing t he most exciting a nd impressive cinematic work of t he 1990's. T arantino's f irst film was Reservoir Dogs, a h eist story a bout a b and of jewel thieves unknowingly i nfiltrated by a n u ndercover cop. T he director played with n arrative s tructure a nd audience sympathies in a n almost l iterary way. And while t he film was very "cinematic'' in i t's approach, i t was t he juxtaposition of t he witty, delightful dialogue w ith t he b rutal, graphic violence t hat gave t he movie i t's charge. T arantino was i nverting a nd paying homage t o t he crime g enre a t t he same time, a nd in t he process h e created a perversely likable film; despite t he fact t hat t he film contained scenes showing t he graphic t orture of a policeman, i t was a very fun move. This may seem irresponsible on t he d irector's p art, b ut i t is n ot. T arantino is challenging t he audience to overcome t heir own experience a nd morality; h e is d aring u s t o enjoy ourselves, a nd h e succeeds. I n Pulp Fiction, T arantino's newest film, t he director goes even f urther in h umanizing t hat which h as traditionally been dehumanized. T he film consists of t hree r elated stories, b rought t ogether by circumstance a nd chance. I n t his sense, t he s tructure of t he film is very similar t o t he work of Robert Altman, p articularly last y ear's b rilliant Short Cuts. B ut while Altman deals with c haracters on t he f ringes of m ainstream society, T arantino dives h eadfirst i nto a n underworld filled with morally r epugnant people. He does n ot ?4t t&e By Thomas Lee Huntington a sk u s t o have sympathy f or t hese characters or t o excuse t heir actions; h e merely t reats t hem a s r egular, flawed h uman beings a nd c rafts h is intricately plotted stories a round t hem. This may b e inexcusable t o some who see T arantino's r efusal t o moralize a s a lack of social conscience. Certainly, t here a re scenes of intensely graphic violence i n Pulp Fiction t hat a re t reated a s h umor, as we a re asked t o laugh a t (among o ther scenes) t he accidental m urder of young m an when a gun goes off in a c ar. B ut we do laugh. And i t is t he f act t hat T arantino can show t he black h umor of a b rutal s ituation w ithout forcing t he audience t o abdicate any sense of morality t hat m akes h is work so b rilliant. Like Sam Peckinpah or M artin Scorcese, T arantino is a m aster a t p ortraying violence a s a kind of cinematic poetry, b ut t hat does n ot necessarily a mount t o glorification. T here is certainly a morality t hat guides t he actions of t he c haracters in h is films, a nd t hose who defy t hat morality a re p unished or forced t o redeem themselves. T he lessons a re n ot h anded t o u s; we m ust look p ast t he sheer visual power of t he violent images i nto t he deeper philosophical context of t he film t o see w hat T arantino is doing. But t hat is a r ewarding j ourney. P utting aside t he intellectual issues accompanying t he p ortrayal of violence in film, Pulp Fiction is a b rilliant cinematic achievement. I t is a visceral and cerebral p leasure f rom beginning t o end, t hanks in large p art t o t he inventive n arrative structure, t he s tartling acting a nd t he r emarkable dialogue. J ohn T ravolta a nd Samuel J ackson p articularly s tand out in a g reat cast. I t is n ot a film everyone will appreciate, b ut i t is a film t hat anyone i nterested in t ruly inventive a nd original cinema should see.

Those who support Craven have credited his legislative work with g etting Cal S tate San Marcos started. The student council was not in total agreement when it came to supporting Craven, however. "He did a lot for this campus here. I'm not denying t hat," explained Bertha Walker, undergraduate representative. "But he has to be held accountable for what he says. We can't make t he (CSU) trustees change t he name of t he building, b ut we can stand for something. This group has to stand u p for what's right. If it pisses off a few of our friends, then t hat's t he way it has t o be." Others attending t he meeting s aid t hat C raven's w ork t o j umpstart t he campus was not out of t he ordinary.

" He's o ffended m e a s a C hicana," a dded S tephanie Gonzalez, another member of t he audience whose parents are p art of CSUSM's faculty and staff. "No matter how much he tries to revise what he says, h e said what he said...Craven did not create t he educational system." Despite a rguments a gainst Craven's reported comments, t he Associated Students chose not to support t he Academic Senate, while approving 5-2 a t t he same meeting to support t he possibility of renaming t he Academic Hall to Cesar E.

J ust prior t o t he Academic Senate's meeting Oct. 26, approximately 150 students, faculty and staff led by CSUSM's MEChA Latino organization organized a rally to oppose Craven's remarks, racism and Prop. 187.

If you are very lucky, you will get "crash tutoring" t he day before t he test; worst case, no tutoring a t all. T he A.S.P.I.R.E. P rogram (previously Student Support Services) is seeking to break t he old molds of "CRUNCH TUTORING" to reposition this helpful and valuable service as an integral portion of a student's road toward achieving academic excellence. The goal is to provide tutoring to t he students in t he A.S.P.I.R.E. Program throughout t he entirely of each semester. "Rather t han waiting until t he last minute when stress levels are a t boiling point to utilize t utoring, a s tudent will have worked t he entire semester with a t utor for a particular course, heading off'crunch times' before t hat stress sets in," says Heidi Fisher, Learning Specialist and t utor for t he A.S.P.I.R.E. program. This new approach t o tutoring has i ts demands, however, and quality t utors are key. "Our program has a rigorous t utor interview process, t raining program and evaluation process as a result of t his model of operation. Heidi explains, "We look for students on campus who excel in their field and are recommended by faculty within t hat field." "As a t utor, my grades improved because I was able to think more critically about my own approach t o studying," says Heidi. Each t utor is closely supervised by an A.S.P.I.R.E. Learning Specialist. Any issues or concerns t hat arise during a tutoring session will be addressed and rectified by t he student, t he t utor and a Learning Specialist. The support within t he program is further grounded by t he Director, Calvin One Deer Gavin, who offers hands-on insight and problem-solving skills t hroughout every aspect of t he A.S.P.I.R.E. Program. "The support ofothers in t he program is key to t he success of this tutoring model. Ongoing training on personal interaction a nd p edagogical a pproaches is also necessary," Heidi explains. If you a re interested in tutoring for t he A.S.P.I.R.E. Program on campus, please call Heidi Fisher a t 752-4014 or stop by t he A.S.P.I.R.E. Program Center at CRA1258. A.S.

T H E PRIDE TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2002 w ww.csusm.edu/pride/ VOL.X NO.X CSUSM Celebrates Eighth Día de los actor, Pedro Infante. The altar was beautifully decorated with a guitar, tequila bottle, and "pan de muerto," or bread of the dead, which is used ceremonially. It is believed that biting into skullshaped candy hidden inside the bread will bring good luck. Upon being asked which one of the team members slaved over a hot oven and baked the "pan de muerto," humanities student Efrain Carrillo replied, "One of the guys in the group bought it." By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride Staff Writer In the Americas about 3,000 years ago, many indigenous civilizations, including the Aztecs, celebrated the dead by having month-long festivities in the hopes that the dead would return and pay them a short visit. For CSUSM that day was last Tuesday at Palm Court with the main celebration from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. Although the sacrificing of virgins did not take place, celebrations took place with Veracruzan music, courtesy of the band "Suaveson," and the setting up of altars in honor of great people from the past. Although many students forced into volunteering time by a requirement of humanities classes, many were their their also Cathy Nguyen, Student Health Services Health Educator, along with Cathy Gremett, Student Health Services Medical Receptionist, and Tim Bills, Assistant Altars are erected on Dia de los Muertos in remembrance of Dean of Students, built an alter the dead.

Their alter displayed a model of the twin towers, a fireman's cap, and a binder which had a list, consisting of many pages, of the victims. Although the majority of people in today's society mourns death and sees it as a bad thing, the Aztecs saw it as part of life and it was celebrated. The Day of the Dead, which is one of the longest celebrated rituals in the Americas, was originally celebrated at the end of July and beginning of August by the Aztecs and other MesoAmerican civilizations between 500 and 3,000 years ago.

Gonzalez said the problems were, "a collective action over time, but eventually the buck has to stop somewhere. Since I'm president it stops in my office." The problems were first made public in a Chancellor's Office audit this past July. The chancellor's audit charged that by combining state and private funds the CSUSM MBA program was in violation of CSU policy. According to Gonzalez, "the institution has to shoulder some responsibility for inadequate management" and "while there were procedures and practices that were violated by faculty and by administrators, it was an administrative error that allowed the program to develop as it did." In response to the chancellor's audit findings, Gonzalez appointed an internal investigation committee to investigate the audit's charges and to report back to him with their recommendations. The committee members were: Marion Reid (Chair), Jacqueline Borin, Silverio Haro, Bud Morris, Norm Nicholson, Sandra Punch, Miriam Schustack, Laurie Stowell, and Rich Vanderhoff. silliness." limit the autonomy of the college, who failed to exercise adequate but we feel that it is warranted in oversight no longer hold their administrative post or have left The committee reported that the current situation." the university." they agreed with the audit's recommendations and that "[they Gonzalez said that the breakwere] pleased with the character down in the program's system of In same North County Times of the University's responses checks and balances happened on article, Jack Leu, an MBA proto date."

By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride Staff Writer The American Language and Culture Institute (ALCI) sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest for its students last Thursday in Founder's Plaza from 12: 00-1:00 p.m. "For most of the students, this will be their first time celebrating Halloween in the United States," said ALCI Student Services Coordinator Dulce Dorado.

This meeting took place on Thursday, Oct. 27th at 6:30 p.m. Larry Olsen, Event Coordinator of the Friends, offered his knowledge on overdevelopment of the ridgeline. Dr. Kimberly Knowles-Yanez, Cal State San Marcos' Professor of Urban and Regional Planning, spoke of her expertise in sustain^ able development. Incumbents and their opposition voiced campaign promises about visions of the future of San Marcos, and people of San Marcos came together in order to voice their opinions concerning matters of development. Olsen began the meeting with the agenda of opening remarks about the future of the ridgeline above Cal State San Marcos. The concerns expressed an emphatic urgency to curb the destruction of a natural piece of the community environment. The goals of the Friends is to establish awareness about decisive planning , issues, as well as to implement and increase natural areas for the community of San Marcos and to expand unity within a structurally developing community. Another goal is to establish a community that promotes healthy, sustainable growth, while maintaining a strong economy that contributes to an enjoyable "livability" in San Marcos, The Friends of Cerro de Las Posas understand the complexities about the smart growth of a community. Olsen expressed that smart growth is vital to the overall development of a growing city. He also implied that fast growth would endanger the native habitat of ridgeline. The proposition of a 150-acre golf course angers many citizens who are concerned with the calculated development of San Marcos' nature preserves. Previously, the community developed a long-standing plan to build -Griffith Jenkins Griffith, Park Commission, civic philanthropist, advocate of parklands, and fervent speaker of recreation for the health of Los Angeles." equity within the approach of a sustainable environment. She described the positive equity San Marcos obtained by sustaining and building a university. Double Peak boasts a moderate 5-mile terrain above Cal State San Marcos suitable for all forms of outdoor activity with an elevation gain of 1000 feet. The environment poses a spectacular view of surrounding North County and is the second highest peak in San Marcos.

Olsen's concerns grew as San Elijo Hills applied for a Conditional Use permit in order to construct a professional golf course. Construction of a golf course would eliminate the prospect of Double Peak Regional Park. The design of Double Peaks Park would include numerous trails, a substantial park for the community, open fields, nature sits and possibly an area to include entertainment venues. The Town Hall meeting proceeded to construct a vision of San Marcos by allowing candidates to speak about their views. Some candidates chose to speak about other issues concerning their campaigns. Candidate's promised to improve the future of San Marcos. San Marcos citizens and students remain key elements of smart growth. Citizens are the reason for the creation of nature preserves. San Marcos needs development with the implemental understanding of the environment, economics and equity. Knowles-Yanez said, "[you are] not born a citizen, you learn how to become a citizen...

Moore's attempt to connect the area's largest employer and the number one weapons manufacturer in the United States, Lockheed Martin, with the violent condition is pure irony at its best. It is also coincidental that the day of the Columbine killings was also the largest single-day barrage of American-financed bombs raining down on Kosovo.

It looks inside the minds of America and asks the question, "why?" I highly recommend that everyone see this movie, as it affects moviegoers and makes them above all THINK! Due to the complexity of the documentary, viewers may find themselves thinking about something totally different than the person sitting next to them. Startling facts were presented in this film regarding the following countries reporting their annual death tolls by gunfire being: Germany (381), France (255), Canada (165), the United Kingdom (68), Australia (65), Japan (39), and the USA leading the group by reporting a shocking 11,127 people. Another notable fact is that there are 10 million families in Canada, 7 million guns owned, and yet it has one of the lowest death rates caused by guns. Bowling for Columbine opened October 18th at Landmark theaters in Hillcrest and struck a chord within millions of people, beginning at opening night. This film offers satire, thoughtprovoking statements, and it is also a film that will not please everyone. Filmmaker Michael Moore is an investigative reporter, who presents, his findings through documentaries. He is credited with making pragmatic films such as Roger and Me, The Big One, and now, Bowling for Columbine, where he examines the social paradigms inherent in different sects of society. His directing tactics have been labeled as guerrillafilmmaking,because he does not censor his convictions or attempt to hide the truth from his audiences. CSUSM student Phuong Nguyen, a Communications major, commented on Michael Moore, saying, "Mike's smart, f un, witty, and whimsical. He has the uncanny ability to present issues relevant to all Americans in a way that doesn't alienate them." The title c omes-from the fact that the two individuals responsible for the tragedy at Columbine High School went bowling on the morning before Other notable interviews throughout the film include Marilyn Manson, Dick Clark, Michael Moore, writer, producer and director of Bowling for and a surprising interview with Columbine.

CSUSM student Nguyen also said, "I was really frightened by the fact that we have such an obsession with guns and how easy it is for us to access them in America. I didn't want to piss off anyone in the theater for fear that they would pull out a gun and point it at me. I want to move to Canada!" This film is definitely a controversial look into America's fixation with fear, violence, and guns. It will make some people angry. The main messages that Moore attempts to share is that the 2nd Amendment of the "right to bear arms," does not mean that we have the right to use them on others. It conveyed an observation that Americans tend to rely on themselves to resolve conflicts instead of the government. He also suggests that fear, enhanced by the media's obsession with death and violent crime, may be the root cause of America's death-by-gun problem. Whether you agree with the director's conclusions after seeing this film isn't the issue - it is that you recognize the problem. This documented investigation surely will encourage people to really think about tough issues that America faces during this day in age. Go see this film with others, because you will want someone with whom to discuss this film, right alter you see it. Seeing the film should be mandatory for Americans. When interviewed at the Cannes Film Festival, Moore stated, "I thought it would be interesting to take a journey through this culture of fear. Most journalism does | be who, what, when; where, andhow questions, but very few people in the media a& why does this happen! Why do we have 250 million guns in our homes especially when thei^'s been a huge decrease in crime?" �Radical Approach to Self-Defense By AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer Students who have taken the R.A.D. more than once say that it only gets better with time. Malorie Acevedo, 14, has taken R. A.D. classes since the age of 9 and delights in the fact that "there is always something new." On a dark and stormy night, a stranger approaches his victim in an alleyway. A struggle ensues but the woman being attacked successfully defends herself and manages to safely escape. This woman, along with thousands of other women nationwide, was ready to defend herself thanks to R.A.D. Patti Kinney, a CSUSM employee for Student Residential Life, has taken the R.A.D. class and was very satisfied with what she learned. "I leave each class session feeling excited; I give this course 100%++! I am so happy with what I have learned so far that I plan on continuing the R.A.D. training to the advanced level," she commented. R.A.D. (Rape Aggression Defense) was developed by Larry Nadeau in 1989. To ensure that women of all ages would be capable of performing these methods, he tested all techniques on his mother perform prior to holding classes. Once he was sure that they worked, he compiled them into a 50-page self-defense handbook, which is used widely in classes today. R.A.D. students during simulation. Photo by Amber Rossland. This 12-hour basic self-defense course offers women instruction and practice in ways to fend off an attacker without the use of weapons, according to CSUSM R.A.D. instructor, Barbara Sainz. "This class shows you the more practical side of life; you will enjoy it, but you will also walk away with the skills needed to survive an attack," she added. It is now available at over 400 universities nationwide and is instructed by a select few law enforcement officers who are specially trained to teach these defense techniques. Sainz is one of three volunteers who teach the CSUSM R.A.D. class, along with her husband, Mario Sainz and Marlon Estepa, both CSUSM police officers. All three instructors freely give much of their time and efforts to educate women - young and old alike - in the art of self-defense. "Our goal is to teach realistic techniques to empower women," added Officer Sainz. When the instructors were asked why they enjoy doing this, Sainz remarked, "We love it Life Director, Bridget Blanshan, because we get to meet wonder- has been a R.A.D. enthusiast, as ful people." well as an instructor, for years.

Kinney was so satisfied with the training she received in the R.A.D. class that she plans to join the newest club on campus, C.A.S.A. Founded by CSUSM student, Carey Moya, This club was established to encourage more female students to join in on protecting themselves. C.A.S.A. is an acronym for Cougars Active Self-Defense Association, which is scheduled to start weekly club meetings on campus in ACD 301 beginning Nov. 12 at 3 p.m. This CSUSM club will encourage women to defend themselves and promote the usage of safety techniques. The next scheduled R.A.D. classes begin in early November. Due to lack of space on campus, CSUSM's R.A.D. classes are presently offered across the 78 freeway at the Regional Emergency Training Center in San Marcos. The cost for lifetime training is $20, which goes to fund maintenance of equipment and training materials. For more information on R.A.D. classes, visit: www.csusm.edu/rad/ or call 760-750-4567. For more information on C.A.S.A., visit www.geocities.com/csusmcasa/ or call 760-747-8960. Due to the intense nature of the simulation exercise, students are debriefed and given a wellness check before being allowed to leave. The debriefing period is also used to point out to students how well they did, and to cheer for their performance and enhanced skills. After attending the October R.A.D. classes, Kit-Bacon Gressitt, 45, commented, "This class is incredibly helpful in teaching self-defense tactics. This is the first step; I feel more confident in myself, and I would like to do it again." R.A.D. students applying the techniques learned during simulation. Photo by Amber Rossland. CSUSM Student Residential S Y S T E M S �" Latinologues" l lega a S an D iego Por MARTHA SARABIA Editora Principal La obra de teatro "Latino logues" llega a San Diego. En su primer día de estreno, el viernes nov. 25, los actores latinos Rick Nájera, René Lavan y Lina Acosta recibieron una ovación de pie al final de dicha presentación. Najera es nativo de San Diego, Lavan es cubano y Acosta es colombiana creando así un mosaico latino. "Latinologues" es una obra cómica de teatro donde los actores usan las experiencias de los latinos en los Estados Unidos para crear una noche de entretenimiento total. Los actores representan a personajes de diferentes países latinos y recrean las vidas de ellos en Estados Unidos en diferentes escenas. Estas escenas son en mayor parte monólogos con algunas excepciones en donde más de un actor actúa. La comedia tiene alrededor de 10 monólogos y dura un poco menos de dos horas. Algunos de los temas representados en la obra incluyen la inmigración de los latinos a EE.UU. y sus experiencias con "la migra", al igual que la versión del pasaje P I C o m e d y W i t h o u t B orders Courtesy Illustration / The Pride de la Biblia donde Moisés es conLos actores hacen un excelente siderado el líder del pueblo judío, trabajo al representar sus perque en este caso es el "Mexican sonajes tan humorísticamente y Moses" interpretado por Nájera. en la mayoría de los casos tan El popular y controversial realísticamente.

Cabe destacar que además de haber escrito esta comedia, de dirigirla y estelarizarla, Nájera tiene una calidad humorística innata ya que su interpretación no es solamente excelente pero es súper divertida. Nájera escribió que no hay una experiencia latina como no hay una experiencia americana. Él escribió que en ningún otro lugar la experiencia latina es más relevante que en San Diego y que un solo monólogo no puede contar la historia de la experiencia latina. "Entretenimiento es mi primer prioridad para una audiencia," dijo Nájera. Sin embargo, cabe destacar que algunos de los personajes femeninos interpretados por Acosta son muy estereotípicos. Este es el caso de las jóvenes embarazadas a temprana edad, al igual que la presentación de las latinas como personas pasionales representadas en un monólogo. Desafortunadamente, como lo demuestran las estadísticas, el caso de las adolescentes embarazadas es la triste realidad, ya que hay muchas latinas jóvenes en esta situación, pero en el caso de la ardiente mujer latina no deja de ser estereotípico y muy machista ya que no todas las latinas son tan sensuales.

La gran parte del guión es en inglés; sin embargo, los actores usan palabras en español desde el principio hasta el final de la obra. Sin el sabor y significado de estas palabras, definitivamente la obra no sería igual de divertida y mucho menos realista. La luz y el sonido tanto como la escenografía son de buen gusto. Las paredes móviles permiten que el escenario se ajuste a la escena; el piso es una representación del calendario azteca; y el vestuario es una buena representación de los personajes y va de acuerdo con lo satírico y en ocasiones exagerado de la obra. Además, hay una pequeña pantalla que refleja fotos e información de la siguiente escena a la audiencia. "Latinologues" sé ha presentado en toda la nación en varias formas. La comedia también tuvo una presentación especial donde más actores latinos participaron y los fondos recaudados en esta presentación serán donados a Project Concern International, que es una organización de beneficencia dedicada a proveer el tan necesitado cuidado de salud a los niños de Tijuana y San Diego. Este fue el caso de la presentación del 26 de octubre donde Jacob Vargas, de la película Trafile; el actor venezolano Fernando Carrillo, de la telenovela mexicana Rosalinda; Roselyn Sánchez, d eRushHour2 y otros actores latinos participaron. Recuerden que hay que apoyar al verdadero talento latino. Así que si tienen la oportunidad de asistir a esta comedia, no dejen de hacerlo. La comedia estará en San Diego hasta el domingo 24 de noviembre en el Teatro Lyceum del San Diego Repertory Theatre localizado en Downtown San Diego en Horton Plaza.

We visited all the local hot spots like "The Fetish and Fantasy Ball," Club " Curve" "Studio 54," and the after-hours club, "Seven." In actuality, Anderson was my friend Theresa, and Rock was her boyfriend, Mike, but after putting back a couple of drinks at the table, Vegas vacationers couldn't tell the difference. And we didn't t ell Angels, S&M lovers, and monsters. One man had a costume completely made out of peacock feathers glued directly to his body. One of the girls had a costume made in a similar fashion with rose petals. Another beautiful and daring woman had a costume that was made out of "CAUTION" tape wrapped around lier three times in thé right spots to cover what she had to. Some of the more a m u sin g couples were a Priest and an altar boy, Pebbles and Bam-Bam all grown up, and Adam and Eve. "The Fetish and Fantasy Ball" is an annual party held on the last Saturday before Halloween. The party calls for scantily dressed females and monstrous males to dress in the most exotic I went as Little Red Riding clothes they can find and attend a Hood, but my costume failed costume party in the Las Vegas in comparison to these really Sports Arena. fabulous get-ups.

Drinks at this club were about $9 a piece, reasonable for Vegas, and so we stayed and danced for a few hours. By 3 am the club was emptying out and so we went to the after-hours club, Seven.

The Go-Go Dancing Girls and Boys on pedestals i n the club were great dancers and very attractive. The music was a mix of top forty and old school from the seventies and eighties. About every hour they had a performer twirling down from the ceiling, or something like bubbles falling from above. The club was three levels with two large dance floors and plenty of sitting room, VIP or not. Drinks were $9-10 dollars a piece but the bartenders do buybacks if you tip them. The club is open from 104 but was mostly empty by 3 am when we left. Halloween in Vegas is definitely a great time, but book far in advance, otherwise the rooms and the airfare can be a bit pricey.

She shows a typical lack of understanding of both the history and mechanics of prejudice and discrimination in America and twists the usage of words out of their historical context. On the one hand, she says ethnic literature pieces should be included in American Literature and not put into sepa- rate courses. On the other, she ignores the pervasive belief by Whites that they are not raced and that "ethnicity" is reserved for people of color. While she is correct that those of British and other European origins are also "ethnic", this is not how this term is used by the vast majority of White Americans. To imply that putting ethnic literature in a separate course is "asinine" reflects her underlying attitudes and beliefs and ignorance of past struggles to incorporate them in traditional American Literature classes.

Let's truly celebrate diversity! it clear to me that many parents and teachers from the dominant group in our society (e.g., those of European descent or "White ethnics" in Ms. Reed's terms) continually resist attempts to broaden the American Literature curriculum to include the works of so-called "non-traditional" (read People of Color) authors in a majority of the middle and high schools and many colleges across America. The scarcity of truly "American" (as Ms. Reed puts it) Literature and History courses has resulted in the creation of Ethnic Studies Programs across America, because people of color often had no other avenues to achieve these goals. drawing attention to certain ethnicities at the expense of others ("discrimination" she calls it), this assumes that the dominant European culture would pay much attention to these "ethnicities" if this were not done. The history of the struggles for such reform in the past has demonstrated how difficult it is. The day it will be possible to have truly "American" literature classes throughout the land without the need for separate multiethnic classes will be a major milestone, but it is not at all clear that we have reached that point. It is sad and disheartening to see people, who apparently know little about the Civil Rights Era and what it meant to people at that time, turn the language of this important period against the very people íwho have been seeking equal opportunity for all in America (e.g,"the university is promoting the idea of separate but equal." ).

Actually, I bet most of you who are reading this article have not seen these movies, if any of them. Why is that? Is it that most o f these movies have almost a complete black cast? Is it that promotion of these movies was inadequate? Or could it be that these movies were targeted for a specific audience? Or could it be that most of these movies make E schew O bfuscation Eschew - To avoid; shun Obfuscate - To make so confused or opaque as to be difficult to perceive or understand; for instance: "A great effort was made to obfuscate the truth." Travis Olp's recent articles in The Pride regarding the Progressive Activists Network's (PAN) recent War Forum were misrepresentative and misleading. The point of this forum was to give student? a chance to hear a side of the discourse regarding the proposed war on Iraq that is typically obscured by our national media. The two articles, a "news" piece entitled, "PAN Hosts War Forum" and White America take an introspective look about the past and the present of how Blacks have been mistreated and are continually mistreated on a more covert level. And, yet no one wants to take any responsibility. What paints an even clearer picture is when you take a look around the movie theaters and see who attends a movie such as the recently released comedy Barber Shop, or the overlooked shocking epic of a whole town being burned to ashes in the movie "Rosewood". From my own observation more times than not it is more probable to see a more diverse group of people in the theater where blacks are portrayed in comical situations than in dramatic social conscious roles. It is much easier viewing a film where black actors are making f un of themselves or cracking jokes about each others mama than to watch the innocent be wrongly accused, discriminated against, beaten, and/or killed. Anytime we go see a movie we would love to walk out of a movie feeling light-hearted happy and giddy, but life isn't that way and never has been. To explore this further, did you ever stop to think why Halle Berry and Denzil Washington with their long list of credits, accolades, and in depth his opinion piece entitled, "War Panel Way Too Subjective" were both replete with symptoms of a larger problem inherent in both The Pride and mainstream media in general. The problem is that contemporary "news" coverage in our society has become little more than a collection of sound bytes with typically very little explanation of the sound bytes. When there is explanation given, it's usually as brief and lacking in substance as the sound byte that was given. Contemporary media is not entirely to blame for this problem: As consumers of this "news", we validate this shoddy reporting every time we see stories like those written by Olp and his national media counterparts when we don't speak up, clarify their misrepresentations, and demand substantiate this quote, "..innate that they do a better job. nature of contention." Innate nature is redundant, "[quoting Here are some quotes from panelist Prof. Seleski] The right Olp's articles that are either false, has to understand it is not the misrepresentative, or examples of '30's.

" 'If the government tells "I was not able to collect so much the truth, it is a coincidence', as a single quote from a member said Eiden." Olp doesn't see fit of the listeners." Don't blame to tell his readers even one of PAN for your inadequacies as a the many examples Eiden gave to reporter Olp. character portrayals, why each of them finally won an Oscar for portraying some of the most life, troubled, shady, trashy, characters in their careers? Hundreds of movies are released each year, but what is more interesting is to recognize which and what films get the most publicity and who goes to see them. I cannot force a person to watch and pay for something they refuse to deal with or refuse to believe exists. In our media driven society, we have been programmed to think that if a situation or a problem has no direct effect on me, then I don't have to deal with it. But I am making you think about why you have overlooked these films and what your rational or more importantly your excuse was for not seeing them. I challenge you to come out from your comfort zone for just one evening and see one of the films that I mentioned regardless of how uncomfortable or squeamish they may make you feel. If you have a hard time watching these films and are left wondering how could anyone have endured such injustice, then most likely you got the point of the movie. Olp got one thing right, "..it [the forum] was an avenue for PAN to push their agenda.." One item on that agenda is to expose students to perspectives they are not normally exposed to. PAN didn't include pro-war speakers on the panel because that's all anyone ever hears on this subject in the mainstream media anyways. I could continue to clarify other inadequacies from Olp's articles but I've already exceeded my sound byte limit: Students wanting further clarifications should contact me at roper004@csusm.edu.

I put down the telephone, walked into my bedroom, and dressedfor the opera." From the Diary of Catherine Armas-Matsumoto Vw ciopes lo$ dd d® lot. it^di- Hastes I would be naive to compare my first opera experience with performances in the great opera centers, but for this novice, it was a perfect introduction to opera. The Western Opera Theatre, San Francisco Opera's touring company, comprised of young artists, performed Mozart's lighthearted masterpiece Don Giovanni, on Friday, October 15, as a part of the 1999 -2000 season at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido. m m w ta r ev d English subtitles flashed on a screen above the stage, translating the Italian lyrics. The twenty-seven-piece orchestra played vivaciously, and the cast skillfully displayed their talents. The costumes and stage design were modest in compari d h f por ison to operas I have seen on PBS, but they were no less effective, given the nature of a traveling production that moves from one city to the next. The lighting and special effects added to the haunting scenes with Don Giovanni in the cemetery—especially as he falls into thefiresof hell. From the dark grandeur of the Commandant's scene to the daintiness of e D h l lste h Zerlina' arias, the performance exhilarated my soul and unlocked the desire to experience more "high culture." Originally performed at the National Theatre, Prague, on October 29,1787, the opera revolves around the womanizing O 0 e t o i > d® L e v g a s s . Don Giovanni (Phillip Horst), who attempts to seduce Donna Anna (Twyla J. Robinson). Her father, the Commandant (James Creswell), comes to her aid only to be slain by Giovanni. Donna Anna and her fiancee, Don Ottavio (John Tessier), vow revenge on Giovanni, her father's killer. At the same time, Giovanni attempts to hide from a former con-* Otf-%21, o mmd$h m TO® quest, Donna Elvira (Kelly Kaduce). He moves on to his next potential seduction, Zerlina (Carolyne Eberhardt), who is engaged to Masetto (Eric Jordon). In all this mayhem there is the servant Leporello (Vladimir Shvets), my personal liz$tr$hk@9e>lcoTn favorite. The trusted servant tries unsuccessfully to keep Giovanni from his ill-fated demise. The opera transforms music,s ^je $ * comedy, action, romance, and Mozart's wit into a delightful production to please the senses. My kudos to the cast and personal thanks to all involved in making this a memorable and noteworthy "first time." For the rest of you who may be ready to take cultural matters into your own hands, Fred Traceyfromthe California Center for the Arts, Escondido, encourages students to take advantage of the excellent opportunity to experience live perDia de los Muertos formances at substantial savings.

CSUSM will begin changing recycling containers this Friday, October 22. Over the next two weeks the university will eliminate the familiar blue mixed paper containers and replace them with black containers. This change is as a result of a new policy at EDCO, the local waste management company. EDCO now has increased capability to sort paper at their plant, which eliminates the need to do so here on campus. The new black containers will hold the following: Newspaper Mixed office paper Magazines, junk mail and slick brochures Chip board and file folders Bound books, except hard covers Telephone books Greenbar paper Ream wrappers Envelopes, including those with styrene windows Pizza boxes (all food removed) Cereal and cracker boxes Paper not acceptable for recycling: Restroom paper Kitchen paper (napkins, paper plates, food containers) Hardbound books Please remove as much metal and hard plastic as possible, including spiral bindings and clips. Staples are acceptable but should be minimized. We discourage Post-It Notes and Astro Brites, though they won't "pollute the load" as they did in the past. Other categories are as follows: Glass— except window glass and very dark wine bottles Plastic bottles—all are accepted except dark blue Aluminum remains the same. "With your support and cooperation, we expect our recycling program to grow and make a difference in our environment while saving our precious natural resources for the future."

Minto reveals how the Greek statue Nike, a symbol for victory, inspired her to create her sculpture: "My challenge now is to live day by day with the same trust I have when my art is unfolding." Minto continues, "Ray Bradbury said, 'You have to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.' For me, completing the Nike was like graduating to a new stage of life, being transformed from an earth-bound being to a woman who can fly." In addition to showing online exhibitions, Professor Small's discussion dealt with chemical companies that produce carcinogens (non-inherited environmental fac- tors that can cause cancers). "Cancer is not only an epidemic, but also a booming business," says Professor Small. She pointed out that some companies may be both the cause and the cure for some cancers. Particular companies may release toxic chemicals in the environment. For example there are companies, like one named Zeneca, that create tamoxifen, a drug that can be used to treat some breast cancers. At the same time, Zeneca has also been known to produce "carcinogenic herbicides" and pesticides. Professor Small also discussed "super-fund sites," Which are extremely toxic chemical sites found in the United States and other countries. "There are things we can do to clean up our environment," comments Professor Small. She felt that the public should at least be aware and informed in hopes that individuals may reduce their exposure to the toxicity in their environment. Professor Small became interested in cancer research in 1983 when she studied the Bikini Islands that underwent nuclear testing by the United States from the 1940's and 1950's. She says that studies like these have influenced her sensitivity to cancer. To view the Online Art Exhibit, visit http://www.csusm.edu/dsmall/syllabi/women/index.html and click on BCAM. —Patricia A.

Joni made several comments implying CSUSM is a hateful, bigoted, discriminatory school. I don't know what part of campus Joni attends, but I have seen none of this. This is my second semester at this school and never once have I received any backlash for the rainbow necklace I wear, the pride stickers on my car, or my openness about my sexuality. Most all my classmates know I am gay, including all the students in my GEL class, who, when I came out during a class discussion about diversity, didn't bat an eye. Almost every student in my GEL class is just out of high school, and everyone knows high schoolers' reputation for acceptance of diversity. I have held two different jobs on campus and have been openly out at both of them. I never felt any opposition in either setting. I also have four openly gay friends on campus and none of them have ever told me about any discrimination they have felt. One of them is a member of a fraternity and even he proudly displays pride stickers on his car without any problems. I'll admit that I was not at National Coming Out Day; however, it was not because I was afraid. It was because I came out a LONG time ago, and I urge others t o do the same, Scott Jeffries - ®f)e foe 'FREE' SPEECH IN THE 'FREE' MARKET By David Gottwald Amidst all the normal confusion and stress that comes with the beginning of each new semester, something decidedly abnormal struck me this Fall. While wandering the Commons searching for old friends and new classes, I was constantly bombarded with an array of products not unlike the local Escondido Swap Meet. In the course of one fifteenminute interval, I was asked to try Sparkletts water, get a spine adjustment evaluation, lay down (in what looked like a vinyl iron maiden) for a massage, and was persistently hounded by at least four different major credit card companies. Now I 'm sick enough at the thought of CSUSM turning into a deplorable University of North County Fair, but it was these credit card fellows that really got my goat. Unlike the other vendors taking up campus space, they have a great little scam going. Don't want a credit card? Sign up a friend (or complete stranger walking by - 1 was asked twice) and get a free T-shirt. Considering student loans and personal parental debt, I really don't need another bill each month. No problem, they told me. It's a really small amount. No annual fee. Etc. etc. The pluses began to weigh in on my judgment at this point, so it was time for some serious analysis. DEAR EDITORS: I am fairly confident that very few college students have need for a credit card.

But the point of this rant is not just to save you money - I wondered with what ease these slimeballs weaseled onto my Campus. So just a few weeks ago I went in to see If (AISES) had nothing to do with the planning, why would the planning commit- if I could have a spot like the credit card guys do. I offered to bring my own table, not tee even demand them to be a part of the honoring dance? From my understanding, make a mess, and not sell illegal drugs, alcohol or rebellious ideas to minors.

MEChA Chair OAF Ordinary Americans against Fanaticism By Andrea Cavanaugh PRIDE STAFF WRITER I've noticed that a "new" club has been circulating literature around campus recently. The Young Americans for Freedom, or YAF, that campus group you thought disappeared long ago, has resurfaced once again. YAF says it "supports choices," many of which seem to profoundly affect my freedom. So, in response, I 've decided to form my own club, Ordinary Americans against Fanaticism, or OAF. Some of the items on the YAF fliers circulating around campus caught my eye, and, as president, founder, and sole member of OAF, I want to respond to them here. YAF says it supports the choice to own any gun. OAF is against being shot. OAF feels that being shot goes against, not for, freedom. OAF says, guns d on't kill people, people with unlimited access to guns kill people: OAF says, if YAF members can own any gun they want, let's lock up the ammunition. YAF says it supports the choice to deport illegal aliens. OAF wants to know who's going to bus YAF's table and clean YAF's toilet when the illegals are gone? OAF sure isn't going to. Is YAF saying that members have never picked up a couple of guys from the local alien hangout to clean up the yard for five bucks an hour? OAF doesn't approve of this situation, but acknowledges .that it exists, and that we all play a part school wearing a tasteful Anne Klein skirt with a pair of BVD's on your head, regardless of your gender! OAF says, stay out of my bedroom and my closet, FIT stay out of yours. YAF supports the choice to abolish affirmative action.

The Bloodmobile, (a virtual bat cave) is a fully equipped portable unit designed to accommodate those of us who find traveling to any one of the Bank's six county locations difficult.

You may see them walking through the Dome and perhaps on a bicycle if our new Chief of Police Thomas Schultheis has his way. But you WILL SEE them. After taking over the helm here as CSU San Marcos, Chief Schultheis implemented a 24-hour, round-theclock communication center for our campus protection. "We are always o pen," says the Chief. Coming on board in an interim role November 1 of last year, the 22-year veteran, Captain Schultheis, was on loan from SDSU. He was officially appointed on January 1, 1999, as Chief of Police at CSU San Marcos. A new addition to the Police Department also included Lt. Glen from the CSU Long Beach campus. Lt. Glen has extensive experience in disaster preparedness areas and training with critical response units.. The Chief hopes to increase our partnership with the community and other nearby law enforcement agencies. Higher visibility is an important goal of the department. Although their office is physically located off Barham, at 441 La Moree, in the University Services Building, the department has plans to open a "storefront" desk operation on campus to furnish crime prevention material, obtain a photo ID and allow easy access for students. just noticed the warm feeling of blood running through the tube draped over my arm. As it made its way down to the attached plastic bag, I was told to squeeze my arm every now and then to ensure safe passage to the bag. In no time at all the needle was removed and I was on my way to a table of goodies! The actual donating part only took about five minutes. Chief of Police Thomas Schultheis PAUL B LANCHARD/ The Pride Safety of the students is a primary concern for the department. With well-lighted parking lots, and low shrubs, Schultheis feels that the campus gives a strong sense of safety. The department also offers a free escort service in the evenings for anyone who requests it. In the event of an emergency, students can call the emergency line at 750-3111 or pick up any "blue code" phone in the parking lots for a direct line to the police. Chief Schultheis would like to encourage students to bring concerns, complaints, compliments, and suggestions to the department. He says, "We need the feedback to better serve our community."

From Pg. 1 increase our number of spaces by 200 " Williams added that Parking Services has applied for an exemption from the CSU regulations so that they can be authorized to build 600 new parking spaces. He also stipulates that money generated through tickets must be split with San Diego County, and that the Parking Services half "goes to alternative means of transportation," like the campus shuttle and the "Bike to Work Day" promotion. Williams added that they spent over $80,000 during the summer for improvements to existing lots, including new signs and new electronic Daily Ticketers. The installation of the new electron ic Daily Ticketers also prompted the removal, on October .10, of the coin-operated visitor parking meters. The new machines can sell permits that are vali4 for half-hour increments as well as for all day and eliminate the need for the aging coin-only meters. The twenty spaces were equally divided between student and faculty-only use because students aren't the only drivers with a need for more available parking spaces. Williams says that applications for Spring 2000 permits will be mailed in November and that the fee is still $62. "We would rather have you buy a permit, then we can put those funds back into new lots. If we give tickets we only get half of the money and we have to use that money for alternative transportation." DEAR EDITORS: This letter concerns the mid-semester change of policy that revokes facultyparking permits for Graduate Assistants. Our position, as General Education Writing Instructors, is not that of the perceived teaching assistant. We are instructors of record, responsible for lectures, assignments, conferences, office hours, and final grade submissions. We perform the same duties as adjunct faculty. In fact, as General Education Writing Instructors, due to the intense reading and writing curriculum design of the course, our workload is extensive. Each of us strives to provide the type of instruction that will ensure each student develops the strong critical thinking and written communication skills necessary for success throughout his or her academic career. To facilitate our classes, we, like other instructors, need to carry extra books, handouts, and other teaching materials imperative for providing the conscientious instruction for which we strive. An inability to park in the faculty lot will hinder our curriculum development, as we will be forced to reevaluate the way we support our students' needs. In view of the level of service we provide to the University, we respectfully request to retain our faculty permits. The GEW faculty A COPY OF LETTER ADDRESSING PARKING GRIEVANCES: Dear Dr. Zomalt, Ms. Leiter & Ms. Knoblock: I wish to express my feelings in regard to the plight of twenty-four CSUSM instructors* including seven GEW instructors of which I am, one, and the mid-semester revocation of faculty/staff parking privileges because we are also graduate students. New Faucet Change Complies with ADA Standards Mike Spangler PRIDE STAFF WRITER It is nice to give recognition to someone on campus, especially for a j ob well-done. Whether they realize it or not, Facilities' Maintenance Mechanic Phyllis Ferguson has students' and the university's best interests at heart, and she takes pride in her work. "It really bothers me when we see things that don't work and we walk right by," says Ferguson. In recent weeks, Phyllis, who will have worked at CSUSM for four years come November, changed 36 faucets in Academic Hall. She wasn't supposed to. She was supposed to just repair the existing faucets and only replace any needed parts. Apparently the mixing chamber of the push-down type faucets were malfunctioning, causing some students to be scalded by unexpectedly hot water. Not long after beginning the string of repairs, Phyllis realized there was a better way. And a lessexpensive way. Phyllis recognized that the cost in man-hours to dismantle, diagnose, replace malfunctioning parts (yet another expense), and reassemble the existing units was just too much. And especially for faucets that hadn't undergone any routine maintenance for seven years. She learned that the cost to replace the entire unit with an identical model ($189 each) was also too much. Then she realized that the push-down faucets did not comply with standards defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). So she proposed to her supervisor, Chuck Walden, the Assistant Director of Facilities, that the faucets be replaced with less expensive ($52.64 each) and ADA approved fixtures like the Simmons Finished Brass Specialty Faucet. Not long after she drafted a formal proposal and performed a three-faucet sample her idea was approved and all of Academic Hall was fitted with new faucets. If the faucets hadn't undergone routine maintenance for seven years and Phyllis has been on campus for four years, then why hadn't she worked on the faucets earlier? Because Phyllis only just earned the title of Maintenance Mechanic after earning Journey-level status in three trades. Previously Phyllis specialized only in carpentry and painting. Plumbing is the most recent skill she ha$ acquired. What other changes are next on her list? "The water fountains. I would like to see the water fountains maintained a little better," humbly adding "good teamwork is what gets things done. Don Soriano and Floyd Dudley are very instrumental in accepting my ideas and getting them implemented." When asked why she would do so much for such little recognition Phyllis replied with visible sincerity "I care about my students and I like what I do. I 'll always go the extra mile because I like my job." I regard my faculty/staff parking status as more than a privilege. It is a necessity. I teach two GEW 101 classes with a combined total of 41 students. I carry a briefcase. I carry a full semester's lesson plans in a 4-inch binder. I carry three textbooks at all times, which do not include videos, other texts or handouts I may require for any class session. In addition, I carry two file boxes, one for each class. These contain my students' essays, quizzes and exercises. Each student i s required to write nine essays throughout the semester with a revision required for each essay. This translates into approximately 738 essays for me to carry and does not include additional revisions students will present for my comments throughout the semester. For example, last week, I collected 80 essays from my students. All essays had to be carried to my car and, once graded, they had to be carried to my classroom from the car. The paraphernalia I require, and acquire, due to my teaching responsibilities at CSUSM is bulkier and heavier than any backpack I ever carried as a student. Further, my teaching paraphernalia is unmanageable in terms of carting it from the bottom of the student parking lot to my faculty office in Craven Hall 3106. Furthermore, the CSUSM Fall Schedule of classes identifies the individual teaching my sections (and all other sections) of GEW courses as "staff." Therefore, I would argue that the university acknowledges my position as a member of its staff, which does in fact entitle me, and all other "staff'/graduate students, to staff parking. If that is not the case, then I must consider the possibility that CSUSM administration applies the term "staff" in conjunction with the courses I teach improperly. The use of this term in the schedule to describe my position in th& GEW classroom implies something to prospective students of CSUSM. It implies something you indicate by your "policy" decision is not the case. The term implies that qualified "staff" rather than lowly graduate students give instruction at CSUSM. I possess a faculty ID card. I enjoy faculty privileges in the library, media center, and copy center. I have a faculty e-mail address. I have building and office keys, a faculty phone number and an office. I hold office hours twice weekly. I have access to those services on campus that assist me, and all faculty, in offering students at CSUSM the best, and most effective, education we can provide. I receive a paycheck from the state of California for teaching at CSUSM. And, until this week, I possessed faculty-parking privileges. How is it that parking services and the business division at CSUSM can determine that I am not what I know myself to be, and what this institution has identified me as being—a member of the faculty? I appreciate that faculty parking can be a challenge, but I believe there is reason for discussion and consideration of other options before this decision is implemented. In reasonable and practical terms, revocation of my faculty/staff access to the campus is not logical and penalizes me, and the twenty-three other instructors in my position, as faculty/staff and as student. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet and discuss this with you, and to demonstrate to you the physical realities of what your decision requires of me. PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride Sincerely, Ricki Muller �Laura Hopkins PRIDE STAFF W RITER State health officials offer these safeguards to avoid Plague: 1) Avoid contact with wild rodents. 2) Do not feed rodents in picnic or campground areas. 3) Never handle sick or dead rodents. 4) Avoid walking, hiking or camping near rodent burrows. 5) Wear long pants tucked into boot tops to reduce exposure to fleas. Spray insect repellent on socks and trousers cuff. 6) People living in areas where plague is known to occur should keep wild rodents out of homes, trailers and outbuildings. Health officials also cite the early symptoms of Plague as high fever, chills, nausea, weakness and swollen glands in the neck, arm pit or groin, and advise that people who develop these symptoms seek immediate medical attention. "It was such a frightful thing that when it got into a house . . . no one remained." "It" was the Plague, and in the fourteenth century, Marchione di Coppo Stefani published The Florentine Chronicle, a text that gives us a vivid account of the Plague and its destruction. Its devastation was felt throughout Europe, where it is estimated that onethird of Europe's population succumbed to this epidemic. "Many died unseen. So they remained in their beds until they stank." Today, the Plague still exists, but without the devastating loss of life. According to California StateOffice of Public Affairs, 37 cases of the plague have been confirmed in California, including one in 1998. With prompt diagnosis and proper treatment, the disease is curable in its early stages, but may be fatal if left untreated. There have been no cases of the Plague reported in San Diego County. The fourteenth-century Plague and the twentieth-century Plague* are the same one. H ie disease is caused by a bacterium called Yersinia pestis, and is transmitted from rodent to rodent, by fleas. When an infected animal becomes sick and dies, the fleas look for a new host. Animals and people can become host to these infected fleas and contract the disease. The difference between the Plague of medieval Europe and the present Plague exists in the treatment and understanding of the disease process. In fourteenth century Europe, the concept of antibiotics lay undiscovered, and disease transmission was not understood. The Europeans did, however, realize that quarantine seemed to reduce the spread of disease. Unfortunately, without the antibiotics necessary to destroy the bacteria, Y. pestis, had free reign over its hosts. Giovanni Boccacio (The Decameron) described the symptoms of a fourteenth-century victim of the Plague beginning with "the appearance of certain The P Ugue swellings in the groin or the armpit" referred to as "gavocciloi." The disease progressed with the spread of these "gavocciloi" and then, "the symptoms of the disease changed, and many people began to find dark blotches and bruises on their arms, thighs, and other parts of the body," until death occurred. And according to Boccacio, "few of those who caught it ever recovered, and in most cases death occurred within three days from the appearance of the symptoms." The typical disease progression today would sound like the case taken from California's Monthly Morbidity Report (11/95): May 1995, Kern County. A 57-year-old white female was admitted to the hospital with the history of four days of fever, headache, pain and swelling of the right ankle and inguinal area (groin or lower abdomen), vomiting, and loose stools. The inguinal swelling was confirmed to be a bubo (inflamed or swollen lymph node) infected with y. pestis, and the woman was treated with the proper antibiotics. She remained in the hospital for approximately ten days, and was released in good condition. The Plague does exist, and will continue to exist.

In a few weeks, procrastinators will flood into the library fran­ tically searching for useful information. However, the stress of these last-minute searches does not need to be as harried. With planning and a little aid from the library, students can make research work much easier. This semester, the library has implemented a new program which provides students with computer assistants. These assistants circu­ late among the library’s computer terminals helping students. The aides can explain how to maneuver through the numerous databases and direct students to the proper database for their subject. Carolyn Batisto, one of the computer assistants, explained that most stu­ dents have limited time for research and need to get their information as quickly as they can. Assistant Holly Korotie said that many students may feel hesitant toask for their help wanting “to figure it out for themselves.” She added that most students have a grasp on the basics of the system, but that sometimes they need help directing their search. Batisto said that the Computer Assistants specifically look for students who have generated large search fields. When assistants see this situation, they know they can help the student by nar­ rowing down the subject. By introducing the student to the use of Boolean strategies, which combine key search terms, a smaller and more precise search can be conducted. The student can save valuable time and get specifically requested information. While most students are grateful for the assistants’ aid, Batisto said the library can provide additional service which can expe­ dite research. Students can set up a private appointment with a reference librarian to work only on their research paper. A form describing the topic, and its due date, is submitted to the reference librarian who can prepare to help the student. This personal­ ized service can be especially helpful to students with a difficult topic, or those un­ familiar or uncomfortable with library re­ search. Research takes time, but planning can make the process less painful. Choosing a quieter library time makes the work easier. Batisto said that the busiest library times are noon on Mondays and Wednesdays, early mornings, or after 8 PM. By avoiding these hectic hours, students will find more avail­ able computers and assistants. While many students will continue to procrastinate, they can at least be assured that when they do begin their research, they can find help at the library.

By Roy Latas Staff Writer Students who undergo the rigors of aca­ demic life are constantly looking for inex­ pensive ways to relax. Free activities usu­ ally focus on the enjoyment of nature. A walk through a park or trip to the beach provide a break from suburban student life. However, in our metropolitan area, a trip to the beach may be hazardous to your health. The beach closures we experienced dur­ ing last year’srainy season are symptomatic of a problem called non-point source pollu­ tion. This problem stems from the small but constant dripping of motor oil from cars, the careless dropping of cigarette butts, pet fe­ ces, and run-off of fertilizer and insecticides from the fields of North County. These pollutants collect in storm drains and dry river beds awaiting the flush of the winter rain that will wash this unhealthy mixture to the beaches. The storm water receives no treatment at our sewage plants, so the storm water with its unknown composition of pol­ lutants empties into local rivers and la­ goons. It passes through the complex storm water drainage system, eventually draining into the ocean through pipes that usually sit directly on the sand. Controlling all forms of water pollution Photo/Mary Szterpakiewicz was the intent of the Clean Water Act (CWA). The CWA originated in 1972 with the intent of making U.S. coastal and inland waters “fishable and swimmable.” The main focus of the Clean Water Act was to stop industrial pollution, and to that end, there has been The FDA Wants to Take Your Vitamins Away C A T k o lic Men, P o N d eR iN q By Mary Szterpakiewicz Editor-in-Chief Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) recently pro­ posed a bill, S-784, The Dietary Supple­ ment, Health, and Education Act to launch a counterattack against the FDA’s proposed regulations that would make high potency vitamins and minerals available only through prescription. Sen. Hatch stated the goal of his bill was, "to make sure that our system encourages all people to choose what they want from life. And in order to choose what they want from life there has to be that essential respect for the individual and for the individual’s freedom and inde­ pendence to direct his or her own life." "The FDA frankly believes that they know best. They know what is good for you. You can quit thinking for yourselves substantial progress. The CWA is currently undergoing re-au­ thorization. Every five years, Congress must evaluate the CWA, yet current conditions which are the product of the CWA are not very encouraging. The CWA represents the only legislation that protects the water, and it needs to be strengthened during the current 1993-94 congressional session. Congressman Oberstar has sponsored a bill (HR-2543) that will create a national plan to identify non-point pollution sources and make watershed districts like our Regional Water Quality Control Board (Region 9), develop a comprehensive plan to mitigate the impact of on-point source pollution. The bill allows the pollution problems to be rectified within a flexible framework allowing the various parts of the country to respond to the problems by a means best suited to the area. Senators Max Baucus and John Chafee head the the Environment and Public Works Committee and will be responsible for writ­ ing the new Clean Water Act. Norman Minetta will be writing the House version. You can show your support by writing to Congress­ men Baucus, Chafee and Minetta as well as to your own representatives, urging them to support this bill. A short letter or postcard with a picture of a beach you would like to protect would send a strong message. The bill is expected to be voted on in midNovember. The full Clean Water Act will not be voted on until Spring. now," said Hatch. Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw (re­ nowned scientists and authors of Life Extensions who advanced the free radi­ cal theory on aging) are also actively opposing some 2,000pages of new regu­ lations the FDA wants to impose on the health food industry. These are due to go into effect before year end. The FDA’s motivation? One reason given was found in one of their own reports which states that FDA approval of vitamins and nutritional supplements would inhibit the development of pre­ scription drugs. You can support Sen. Hatch’s Bill by writing your Congress­ men and Senators urging them to vote for passage of S-784. Y o u r F u tu re ?

G R O U P "THOMAStsTfiAt/D * YOU EVERWONDER. WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT ? n Conformity is the jailer offreedom and the enemy of growth. John F. Kennedy —- �A Letterfrom the ! Uumni /■ Association A look into the life of recent grad By Amy Glaspey Staff Writer It’s nine months before you graduate. Never mind your midterms, have you sent out your resumes and filled up your rolodex yet? Jim Kuhl, CSUSM Class of ’92 and current Alumni President, sent out over 100 resumes prior to graduating with an accounting degree. Kuhl began his job search in 1991 by making contacts and “getting to know people.” Kuhl landed one of his top two job choices just six months after gradua­ tion. He is now a tax auditor with The State Board of Equalization. Kuhl attributes his success in this rough marketplace to perserverance. “I just kept pounding them,” Kuhl said. He bombarded his new employer with a dozen follow-up phone calls and letters. The most significant activity Kuhl was involved in was the Accounting Society. Meeting with community members and networking with busi­ nesses and firms gave him career focus. “Once I found direction, my job search was much easier,” said Kuhl. The competition was tough. Tight alumni groups like San Diego State University graduates like to hire their own. One employer candidly told a CSUSM graduate, “we tend to hire SDSU alumni, and I don’t see that changing.” Prospective employers tend to be skeptical about our new univer­ sity. “They just do not know about our programs,” Kuhl said. Consequently, Kuhl’s personal goal as Alumni President is to build public interest in the university by organizing communityaimed events. “Alumni are a natural bridge be­ tween the community and the univer­ sity,” said Kuhl. “Building community interest is the most important thing.” Not that Kuhl would mind generat­ ing some financial support for CSUSM as well. According to Kuhl, universi­ ties nationwide obtain 83% of their budgets from private donations. In contrast, the California State University system averages 13% of its budget coming from private donations. Kuhl would love to narrow the gap. Long-term goals for Kuhl include “keeping people involved with the development of the university” and establishing an alumni database so that “20-30 years from now, we could tap that resource.” Today, the economy of California faces its most challenging times since the Great Depression. This is particularly true in the days preceding the seemingly inevitable NAFTA agreement. While numerous variables have affected California’s ability to remain a leading global competitor, one competitive advantage has always remained constant: our educated work force. The CSU system has been instrumental in providing higher education. We graduate more college students than all other California institutions of higher learning combined. For the past several years, we’ve been doing more with less. To sustain any further budget reductions would undoubtedly threaten our most valuable competitive advantage. On November 2,1993, voters will consider Proposi­ tion 172, a proposal to make permanent an extra cents sales tax that was imposed in conjunction with the State Temporary Tax Increase of 1-1/4% which went into effect on July 15,1991. This measure was intended to balance the state budget and solve its temporary budget crisis, with a 1/2% rollback to be effective July 1,1993. How­ ever, the severity and length of the recession were unforeseen by even the most pessimistic economists. Due to the prolonged reces­ sions, Governor Wilson temporarily extended the measure through the end of the calendar year. The proceeds of this tax are to be devoted to local public safety functions. This in turn will offer state policy makers an opportunity to invest other state revenues in other high priority areas, particularly higher education. What difference can a s % 2 / 1ales tax increase make? San Diego imposed its own 1/2% tax increase from January 1,1989, through February 14,1992. In just over three years, it produced nearly $400 million in revenue. Statewide, such a program could generate in excess of $2 billion annually, or approximately 3.5% of the entire annual State budget. The CSU system is imperative to the competitive advantage o f California, which is something all of us have a vested interest in. This is not an issue impaired by special interest groups, but all who value the future of our State. With voter turnout anticipated to be low, your support is crucial. Let’s all come together and vote YES on 172! James Kuhl, President CSUSM Alumni Association �YOUNAME IT / FRIDAY, OCTOBER22, 1993--------------------------- C S m p U S C I U b S “ Creeks Get Opposition to Halloween Bash By Amy Glaspey Staff Writer At a university that promotes cultural diversity, it still may be acceptable to discriminate against the Greeks. Kappa Chi Omega, Phi Delta Delta, Teke and Sigma Phi Delta want to enhance school spirit by hosting an open Halloween party on campus in the Dome. Personality conflicts and stereotypes within the InterClub Council have tarnished the Greek’s chances for approval. The Greeks submitted a proposal to the Director of Student activities in accordance with the Interim Alcohol Regulations of CSUSM pending final approval by the President’s office. They were prepared to meet the following criteria: — To abide by University, federal and state regulations regarding school alcohol use and distribution. —-To ensure the sale or distribution of alcohol to individuals over 21 years of age. — To provide a non-alcoholic beverage alternative. —To provide food to all in attendance at the event. — To accept responsibility for any and all damages incurred during the activity and to provide restitution for damages. — To maintain behavior and activities appropriate for a University setting. — To provide personnel to clean up and restore the facility to its original condition immediately following the close of the event. The Greeks are also prepared to fund the event out of their own budgets. When in­ formed that the InterClub Council (ICC) pro­ vides supplementary funding for certain events, the Greeks presented their party pro­ posal at the March 9th ICC Meeting. Shortly after their presentation, the ICC motioned to deny support to any activity where alcohol is served. A source within the Greek organizations said that the ICC “ste­ reotyped” the Halloween bash as a "wild beer party with kegs on every comer.” The ICC remains strangely silent on the issue. Matthew McNamara, ICC President, repeatedly refused to comment on the par­ ticulars of the debate. When asked the ICC’s stance on alcohol-related events he replied, “I will not answer your questions.” The Greeks returned to the Director of Student Activities and met with a different reception. It is rumored.that the President’s office hesitated to give its approval to a func- A source within the Greek organizations said that the ICC "stereotyped" the Halloween bash as a "wild beer party with kegs on every comer:" tion that was rejected by the ICC. Although Bridget Bailey-Meiers, according to a Greek source, remains supportive and helpful, new provisions were added to the Interim Alcohol Regulations. The President’s office now claims that the Dome is not conducive for dancing due to hazards created when the lights are dimmed. In addition, the Greeks must hire a school provided set and disassemble crew, a school approved carpet cleaner and security guards. The Greeks are committed to hosting Interested in Politics? —This By Elena Weissman Contributing Writer Rumor has it that the formation of a political science organization is under­ way. Guess what? It’s true. This university has reached the stage where students have a real need for a Political Science Association (PSA). At this moment, students are forming a club to arouse an interest in politics and campus affairs. We have the full support of the faculty who are very enthused about the establishment of this club. Everyone has an opportunity to become involved in the planning stages of the PSA. We will structure this organization so that it has a life which lasts long after we have graduated from CSUSM. Don’t let the name of the club avert your interest. It is definitely something club p W lT liS e S C O n tW V e rS y that is open to ALL students. It is for everyone who is interested in current events. Your party affiliation, be it Republican, Democrat; Libertarian or Green, etc., is not relevant. A variety of opinions will only make it more interesting. If you ever wanted to participate in a discussion about the current state of politics or felt you would like to express an opinion but did not feel that you were informed, then this is the place for you. If your ambition is to become politically active, this could be your start. We will network for job opportunities, have political debates, learn about institu­ tions of higher education, and instill a sense of community involvement. We look forward to sponsoring speakers, political forums and other such activities. We could impact this university by creating a campus that will allow students to voice their concerns and problems with campus policies. We aim to provide assistance in the development of curriculum in the Political Science Department. It has been suggested that a student advisory board to the department be established. To keep up on the latest developments in the department, membership in the Political Science Association would be invaluable. The PSA could be the most dynamic organization on campus, but we cannot do this without the support of our students.

They have resubmitted their proposal to the President’s office highlighting the fact that they’ve already secured a dance floor (to protect the carpet) and are willing to work with the lighting issue. A source within the Greek organizations said that there was a dance party in the Dome last year. The source wonders if hazards witnessed last year give credence to the lighting issue. If so, the organizations are willing to add new lights under a tarp and provide extra lighting in the restrooms. If necessary, the Greeks are prepared to move the party outside, in the parking lot under a tent. They will hire security guards and purchase food, beverages, and alcohol from the Aztec shops. The Greeks are also prepared to file a formal grievance if their party is not ap­ proved. T|0U)?lKO(0(te\|/ Volunteers I T:i B o you v o lu i n a n y c a p a c ity — ."' la rg e o r sm a ll?

Well, before you become completely overwhelmed by deadlines and due dates, consider this: the fact that you’re attending this university speaks highly of the kind of person you are. Against all odds, you’ve managed to remain in school and are on a path toward a more enriching life than the trail you’ve left behind. If your midterm grades did not meet your expectations, you’re not alone. We’re all in this together, so we need to look to each other for support. Keep in mind that even though it may carry a substantial amount of weight, a mid­ term is, by no means, a final grade. There are still ways to rectify any obstacles in the way of a satisfying grade. Get phone numbers. That way, if you should happen to miss a class you will be able to get the notes you need. Also, do the group thing. You will find that studying in groups is easier than studying alone. You will be able to enhance social as well as study skills. In the process, you may start a network of acquaintances that will provide mutually beneficial contacts that may extend beyond your college years. Remember that professors look at the overall efforts of each student through­ out the semester. Steadily working in manageable bits day-by-day requires courage and tenacity. At times, your hard work may not seem to be ac­ knowledged. Indeed, genius often goes unrecognized. Make your efforts known. Take advantage of your instuctors’ office hours. Don’t remain one in a sea of nameless faces in a classroom. Get to know your instructor and make sure he or she knows who you are and the pains you are taking to make certain of a positive outcome. They are there to offer assistance if you are having difficulties with their courses and they appreciate feedback on their effective­ ness. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. You’re paying good money to get your education, so you may as well use all resources that are available to you. There is help, if you need it. While you’re at it, you may want to check out the Student Resource Center in room 5205 in the Administration Building. They offer video and audio tapes, selfhelp materials and a directory, support groups, study skill info, computer assistance software, workshops, program info, community referrals and many other services. The sacrifices and hardships that you encounter now, will only make you a stronger person. Perseverance will pay off in whatever your endeavor after graduation and beyond. - Take deep breaths - Get*enough sleep - Go for long walks - UJatch a sunset - G e t Some exercise - Go for a bike ride - Take up goga - E a t balanced meals - Ruoid caffeine jJtrime Management, Studying Math, CASSI (Computer Assisted Study ■ ■ ■ M ftk ilfe Instructions) is available fb*»i|udents to u s e . ,' ' ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ pp h sp r^ ^ ^ (|^ €^ ;R esoiU ^ 0;; ;iCeiitei; Craven (Do you Write (Prose, Poetry or ffictionP..... ..............................

Every group and individual is represented at Cal State San Marcos, and the admin­ istration is quick to recognize the importance of that kind of inclusion. The faculty likewise dedicates a great deal of coursework to issues of multicultural-ism and appreciating diversity, as our global awareness requirements attest. Many students feel that such attention to these kinds of issues is excessive and ultimately distracting to their true educational goals. The grousing is subtle but ever present. Multiculturalism is the educational trend of the day, but is the student backlash growing? The conservative furor over the nationwide spectre of politically correct speech codes on college campuses has not found its way to pastoral San Marcos. Neither, for the most part, has political correctness itself. The best thing about the organiza­ tional makeup of our school is that clubs promoting ethnic diversity and party-driven sororities and fraternities can exist side by side. No view is shut out and all voices are given an opportunity to be heard. But are these divergent voices sinking in? For all the rhetoric about the value of a well-rounded, liberal education, many college students check in for years merely to do the necessary time that will help them get a good job. Multiculturalism is an abstraction to those who have no interest in expanding their educational horizons. Fortunately, that is not the usual case amongst the CSUSM student body. With an average student age of 29 and a collection of only juniors and seniors, we are lucky enough to be amidst generally mature, analytical classmates with open minds: Furthermore, in a demographically complex and ever-shifting California, multiculturalism is not an administratively imposed intellectual abstraction but rather a vital, everyday reality. Tolerating and appreciating cultures other than your own is the necessary end of education in this commu­ nity. That is a reality we hope every student will come to terms with during their stay. |a te of And far too touch of it is spent either op inexcus­ able, worthless pursuit|§rdn shameless pbilSlrrel pfoprams that serve no other purpdfe than to guarantee Members of Cphgress’ re-electijp, like: 3 * $5 millioii from the US defense bud­ g e t^ bwld a building for an independent country in the Pacific j§§ean that b e lW p i^ th e British Comh fteealth of Nations. puf tax dollars is spent ; ^ |^ ^ ;to i^ ^ |p iF lic ers,:.Pentagon bu­ reaucrats and their plfense contractor guests can spend their afternoons playdreaming up toore ways to spend taxpaprSb-mOnevi^ ^ ^ ^ ^ B fjjgSource: Citizens Alternative Press Offers A Dose of Free Speech By Mary Szterpakiewicz Editor-in-Chief I read my first issue of Plan 9 — that alternative paper that no one sees, but everyone reads. Plan 9’s ideology states it is against force and violence of any sort for any reason. This philosophy is not new nor radical. "Educate, don’t legislate." I’m all for that. While Plan 9 is motivated for a number of reasons, at least it has the right idea. Ever wonder why major papers and networks look alike and report the same stories? Some 1,800 newspapers nationwide are owned and controlled by fewer than 20 conglomerates. San Diego's Copley Newspapers, in addition to the San Diego Union-Tribune, own and operate 9 dailies, 36 week­ lies and 1 bi-weekly newspaper. The Hearst Corpo­ ration owns 12 dailies, 5 weeklies and 14 maga­ zines. Alternative newspapers and media offer quite a different view of what is painted on this morning’s headlines or tonight’s evening news. Waco, for example, was treated quite differently by the alternative press. The official mainstream media version painted the portrait of a maniacal cult. The alternative media gave a story of FBI agents overly eager to do what was right. Despite pleas from the Waco compound to bring in the press, the request fell on deaf ears. The Branch Davidians' First Amendment rights to free speech and freedom of religion were ignored. Mainstream media failed to go in and report their side of the story and failed to interview survivors. It took Lloyd Bensten several months after an exten­ sive official investigation (more tax dollars well spent) to find out the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fire­ arms (BATF) lied. The alternative press held this view right from the beginning, while it failed to get the attention of the major networks and mainstream papers. It is encouraging to see alternative newspapers, many self-published like Plan 9, Espresso, the Lib­ erty Bell, and the Coastal Post in Marin County, dare to speak their mind. We find too little actual freedom o f speech going on these days—like an animal on the brink of extinction. The polished look of the major media has effectively hypnotized millions of little brains with its repeat message “be good little sheep.” Alternative papers offer a dose of free speech, a commodity which seems to be dwindling right be­ fore our eyes. �Why Yes on 174 Freedom to choose is one of our nation’s founding principles. Choice in education is no different. Neither the California nor U.S. Constitutions state that your child must attend a public (gov­ ernment) school. Parents have the right to send their child to a school of their choosing, not the government’s choos­ ing. Prop. 174 gives them that choice without having to pay twice. Public schools receive funding based on attendance. Fewer bodies, less fund­ ing. Prop. 174 would provide incentive to make government schools more com­ petitive with private schools, ultimately benefitting the child. The voucher pro­ gram in Milwaukee is a huge success with more parental involvement, better attendance and marked improvement in the children’s performance, not to men­ tion safer schools. A Cambridge Univer­ sity study showed government schools (K-12) spend approximately $6,000 per student, twice the amount spent by pri­ vate schools. Most of the money ends up in the pockets of bureaucrats and politi­ cians, not in your child’s classroom. The savings to taxpapyers in the longrun is in excess of $7.6 billion by 2000. The voucher system would slow down demand to build more public schools. California taxpayers cannot be burdened with more taxes in an economy that is already the worst in the nation. In a university such as this, I am told that appreciation of diversity is a goal. It is strikingly odd that homogeneity of education, not diversity of views, is what proponents of Prop. 174 seek. Govern­ ment schools create more government sheep. Diversity of education would guarantee that no one view would pre­ vail. Prop. 174, while not the perfect an­ swer, since government strings are still attached, is a step in the right direction.

Already plagued by an effective tax rate of 61% (income tax, property tax, sales tax etc.), California taxpayers should not be asked to pay more. Instead, government should be made more accountable and less wasteful. Government should take a lesson from private enterprise. In a bearish economy such as this, the private sector is sizing down, becoming more efficient. So too, government efficiency and accountability should be the priority, not raising taxes. The most recent 1/2 cent sales tax was unlawfully collected. The State conve­ niently forgot to get the required number of votes. Until three Libertarians took the matter to court and won, the State had collected some $300 million dollars of taxpayer money illegally. Give the government more of your money—not a wise idea. a " 5! Prop. 172 wants to raise the sales tax another half cent. 60,000 Jobs have been lost in San Diego County alone because of the state of the economy. High taxes, over-regulation and an excessive government waste and corruption are to blame. Californians cannot afford another tax. Every halfcent sales tax increase started as an emergency. In time, politicians always found excuses to make these temporary "emergency" taxes a permanent fixture. Taxes have never produced the intended results. Tax money spent on welfare only increased the amount of welfare recipients. Tax money spent fighting the war on drugs has neither diminished the supply nor the demand for illegal drugs. The more tax money spent on public education, the worse its gets and so on. President Clinton admitted when questioned by a San Diegan that the _ �Disenchanted Moviegoers Tend to Stay at Home By Peter Gorwin Critic-At-Large Theater chains pull good movies in favor of running poor movies. Such management decisions ultimately alienate discerning patrons who choose to seek alternatives at their local video stores. It would seem that the upper echelon management of these big chains isn’t interested in maintaining an audience of discerning viewers. They run movies which have the strongest public appeal, a simple case of supply and demand. If longer-running movies lack any artistic merit, management will tell you that the public has been to blame for not patronizing the better movies. These big chains play games with their movies, similar to the ratings games which T.V. broadcasting companies have been playing with viewers for years. Increasingly, the declining ambience of these theaters has begun to alienate demanding viewers also. For example, one might naively think exorbitant box office prices would ensure a respite from invasive commercials, but often viewers are bombarded with a cavalcade of local advertisement which flash on the screen long before the feature begins. Theater owners will tell you that they barely can make ends meet, and that they need the added revenue from these local advertisers to grease their wheels. Demanding suburban viewers may hate the way the size of their viewing screen has decreased with the completion of each new theater complex. Some of these viewers remember a time when they could escape their weekly worries by watching a feature on a sweeping, panoramic screen. In justifying the reduced size of their theater screens, large theater chains point to the high cost of real estate which has forced them to optimize their space; smaller screens enable them to run their movies simultaneously, increasing their revenue. Nonetheless, smaller screens will prove to be a monumental blunder as television resolution begins to eclipse the images seen on theater screens: film buffs won’t want to go to watch a small screen at a theater with poor ambience, when they can rent a movie for their sharp screens at home. The issue of ambience brings us to what may best be described as the ignoramus problem, people who have never learned the proper etiquette for watching a movie. After nicely asking a talking ignoramus to be quiet with no significant satisfaction, some viewers would like to be able to find an usher to complain to, but there are usually none to be found. The management’s apparent reluctance to take a pro-active stance in this area again alienates the discerning viewer. After all, a good movie deserves the The 1Joy Luck Club" 1 —A Skillful Adaptation of Novel to Film By Thomas Lee Huntington Staff Writer Hollywood has discovered the literary world anew. Recent film adaptations of bestselling novels such as Jurassic Park, The Firm and Damage have inspired pro­ ducers and studio executives to head for their local bookstores in search of a quick buck. It is tempting to dismiss director Wayne Wang’s Joy Luck Club as just another example of the Hollywoodization of popular fiction. The bestselling novel by Amy Tan obviously created a strong base of fans and the complex, interwoven tale of Chinese mothers and daughters would be easy to turn into a crowd-pleasing, formulaic tear-jerker. Surprisingly, the filmakers have for the most part resisted the temptation to saccharize Tan’s rich book and have in turn produced an honest, if a bit flawed, film. The skill of Tan’s novel was in the for­ mat—a loosely connected series of recollec­ tions and memories by a circle of Chinese same attention as a good book. Even the sloppy projection of a movie may alienate discerning viewers. At certain theaters, the person hired to run the projector seems to have been carefully chosen for his adeptness at throwing the projector out of focus or focusing the film so that the image overlaps the screen by a couple of feet. Patrons pay to see the entire frame, not part of it. this also places the viewer in the bind of missing part of the film while they run out to the lobby to complain to a manager who also can never be found. Where do these managers and ushers hide? Personally, I look forward to the year 2020 when we will be watching movies on theater screens the size of postage stamps and paying forty dollars to get in. It will be obligatory for the film to be projected slightly out of focus, and there will be forty-five minutes of commercials before the feature even begins. Everyone will engage in loud and active conversation throughout the entire feature. Nobody will care about watching the film anyway because every movie that these big chains run will be just plain awful. And by this time, all of the small theater owners who used to take some pride in the movies they ran will have been put out of business —- a sad day for the purists who used to love going to the movies. mothers and daughters. Each character's mys­ tery and history is slowly peeled back through the course of the narrative, ultimately reveal­ ing a rich mosaic of loss and regret and beauty and strength. The miscommunication and generation gaps that plague the mother-daugh­ ter relationships are slowly patched but never truly resoved. The novel’s structure is almost impossble to translate to the screen, but Tan and coscreenwriter Ronald Bass make a valiant ef­ fort. There is a heavy use of flashback and voice-over narration and director Wang does a skillful job of weaving in and out among the various stories with little confusion. But film is a fundamentally different medium than literature, and the loose structure that Tan employed so skillfully is not quite as power­ ful here. The language of the book was a significant part of it’s beauty, and despite the extensive narration, that effect is lost in film. That said, the film is quite successful on its own terms. The stories are told slowly and with great respect for the audience. Nothing is quick or easy, and the perfor­ mances by the mostly unknown cast bring out the sadness and beauty of the charac­ ters. The heartbreaking and magical stories are for the most part not played for easy sentiment or quick tears. In that respect, Tan and Wang have abandoned the easy, sentimental route to box office success and preserved the dignity and power of the �Mose Allison in Concert October 24 Mose Allison, the legendary Missis­ sippi Delta blues singer, songwriter, and pianist, will give two concerts on the CSUSM campus as part of its Arts and Lectures Series. Mose will per­ form songs from his 20 albums which span 50 years, including his Grammywinning album, Ever Since the World Ended. Mose John Allison, Jr. was bom in 1927 on the Mississippi Delta. He received piano lessons as a small child, but quit as soon as he discovered he could play by ear. He played tmmpet in marching and dance bands and started making up his own songs. In the early 1960s, as the Mose Allison Trio began to get more work, he found that writing his own songs was essential both as a means of expression, and as a practical matter of expanding his repertoire. His music was inspired by listening to old pop tunes, country and western songs, and composers like Bartok, Ives, Hindemith, and Ruggles. The process of fusing these diverse elements into a cohesive performance continues today. Meanwhile, Mose re­ corded more than 20 albums; performed all over the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia and wrote about 100 songs. Some of these songs were recorded by The Who, The Clash, The Yardbirds, Bonnie Raitt, Van Morrison, and oth­ ers. His album, Lessons in Living, was nominated for a Grammy in 1983, and Ever Since the World Ended won a Grammy in 1989. Concerts will be in Academic Hall, Room 102 on Sunday, Oct. 24 at 3 PM and 5 PM. Admission will be $3 for CSUSM students and $5 for general admission. Tickets may be purchased at the CSUSM bookstore, or by calling the bookstore at 752-4730.

Many people are rediscovering these estab­ lishments and filling them to capacity eve­ nings and weekends. During the late 1950s and early 1960s, coffeehouses were an im­ portant element of the Beat Generation, a counter-cultural movement that began dur­ ing this era. The renewed interest in aspects of counterculture has also been reflected here at CSUSM. This fall, the history de­ partment offered an unusual class studying the counterculture movements of Beats, Hippies, and Punks. This class examines the radical counterculture movements that oc­ curred in the United States following WWII. Professor Jill Watts, who teaches His­ tory 430C, created this class based on previ­ ous students’ ideas and interests. While teaching a general history course, she dis­ covered that her students became veiy inter­ ested in the small amounts of American counterculture she included. Students wanted to know more about these move­ ments and what happened to them. Watts developed the class to answer these questions and fulfill CSUSM’s requirements of race, class and gender. She acknowledged that CSUSM encourages the development of new classes that explore unanswered ques­ tions. While other campuses may offer classes that examine Beats and Hippies, this class is unique because it links the Punk movement with the two earlier groups and establishes the connection between all three. American counterculture emerged after WWII as America marched into the Cold War under the cloud of McCarthyism. The chilling prospects of a devastating nuclear war seemed imminent. However, a rebellion against these conditions began to develop in the 1950s led by writers Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and William Burroughs. Known as the Beat Generation, these writers confronted the conformist and militaristic attitude they perceived dominated American society. As popular culture began to develop an interest in the Beat Generation, or what they By Thomas Lee Huntington Staff Writer The burgeoning coffeehouse culture has left hardly a street comer untouched. Previously bland and conservative communities have been invaded by pseudo avant-garde, cutting edge caffeine shelters for disaffected middle-class teenagers who need a place to sulk and show off their flannels and tattoos. In the face of a Java invasion that can leave one swearing off cappuccino forever, the Hill Street Coffeehouse stands out as an espresso oasis. Positioned unassumingly in the middle of Oceanside’s notorious Hill Street, the yellow termed “beatniks,” the counterculture move­ ment spun into a new form of rebellion. The Hippies emerged in the 1960s operating with a different style, but still rejecting main­ stream American society. Watts claims that the rebellion apparent in the Beats and Hip­ pies was also apparent in the Punk movement of the early 1980s. Like many previous students, CSUSM stu­ dents find Watts’ class on counterculture interesting. Kathleen Rohan, one of her students, said, “This class interested me because I never knew anything about those groups.” Many students remember the stereotypical beatnik portrayed by Maynard G. Krebs in “Dobie Gillis.” This image contrasts sharply with the individuals studied in Watts’ class. Rohan observed, “In thattime period,Ididn’trealize there were people out there confronting is­ sues so harshly.” Professor Watts says that while the study of counterculture provides important insight into post WWH American society, it also is quite relevant to contemporary society. Watts Victorian style house at first seems out of place. Once inside the coffeehouse gates, however, it’s like a different world. It may seem a contradiction, then, that anybody would choose to open up a cafe appeal­ ing to customers seeking conversation and relaxation in such an area. Hill Street has long been associated with prostitution and crime, and the city’s recent redevelopment efforts have had little success in changing that image. In a strange way, though, it all works. The coffee­ house provides a kind of escape for anyone looking f ora break away from the grunge and grime of the world outside, and in turn the peacefulness of the environment inside makes one look at Hill Street in a different light. It certainly is the last place anybody would expect to find a haven for culture, and in many ways that surprise is what gives this coffeehouse its charm. There is an engaging, literate feel to the coffee shop that is conducive to both intelligent discussion and quiet studying. The academic environment is said, “We are coming off the 1980s, a time of materialism and conformity.” The 1990s are proving to be quite different. Watts added that the new generation faces job scarcity and limited mobility. These condi­ tions have led to the disenchantment of many American youths. Rohan echoed this feeling. “People are looking and question­ ing the government and society’s values. They’re wondering if we’re doing the right thing.” Counterculture can be disturbing; it op­ poses conventional society. However, the renewed interest in these movements may reveal a type of admiration. As Rohan stated, “I kind of envy the beats, hippies and punks, and the way they could go to the extreme.” The members involved in coun­ terculture were not afraid to speak out against the accepted system. The courage to freely express oneself earns some measure of re­ spect. most intense duringthe daytime hours when t establishment is less populated. Weekend nights tend to bring an invasion of high school kids and other such cretins looking fora cool place to hang out, but the ambiance is still pleasant. The White Out, a palette pleasing blend of espresso, hazelnut flavoring and white hot chocolate is the hottest ticket on the menu. New Zealand Sunnyslopes tea is also recommended. Musicians often perform weekends on the pleasant back patio and the works of local artists decorate the walls. It is especially pleasing to see this kind of dedication to the local art scene in the face of the increasing commercialization of the coffeehouse Zeitgeist. Mike and Ross, the owners of the coffeehouse, are obviously not in this busi­ ness to exploit a trend and make a fast buck. They are genuinely friendly people who care about the state of their community and have provided that community with a welcome boost. �S TILL NEED F I N A N C I A L A I D ?

One thousand students met with 62 busi­ ness and government agencies as well as 25 graduate professional schools to discuss career choices, goals and job availability. Representatives from the banking indus­ try, retail stores, financial planning, hospi­ tality, accounting, social service, manufacturing,insurance, package delivery, and government agencies set up booths from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. Companies and agencies were present to accept resumes, hand out applications, discuss educational requirements, conductmock interviews and answer basic questions about their indus­ try. Calloway Golf, the Carlsbad California manufacturer of the Big Bertha golf club which was voted the 14th fastest growing company by Fortune magazine, is always hiring. Sheri Wright, Human Resource Representative for Calloway, looks for ap­ plicants who have technical skills. Com­ puter literacy and leadership skills as well as any scheduling and planning experience are, a plus. Interested students should mail resumes to Calloway Golf, attention Sheri Wright, Human Resources. Smith Barney Shearson, a financial plan­ ning firm with offices from San Diego to New York City, was on hand to introduce their internship program. “ An internship gives students tremendous insight into the opportunities and challenges of a career in financial services,” said Paul Firth, Financial Consultant in Smith Barney Shearson’s Carlsbad office. Interns would not be paid; however, students could unit college credits through an independant study program. Bank of America returned to the Career Fair because of the positive community re­ sponse and the number of applicants they received at last year’s job fair. “Last year we received 40 to 50 applications,” said Joylene Dusran-Shew, Bank of America Staffing Spe­ cialist The career fair gives students “the perfect opportunity to hold mini and mock interviews which help students practice interview skills without the formality," said Meyer. The Equitable Life Insurance Agency was curious about CSUSM upon reading newspa­ per stories about the University. James Reopelle, District Manager for the Equitable wanted to check out the school and accept resumes from the “Right Persons" who pos­ sess interpersonal skills, high intelligence lev­ els, entrepreneurial skills and work ethics. First year Equitable employees can expect to earn $36,000. "Players" earn $50,000 their first year. Equitable employees will attest that hours are long and the work is hard if you want to enjoy the financial rewards. Twenty-five graduate and professional schools set up booths from 1-3 pm. for the second half of the Career Fair. CSUSM rep­ resentatives from the education, mathemat­ ics and psychology departmentsjoined schools with campuses throughout California to meet students interested in advanced degrees. The UC Irvine social ecology department boasts a 43% increase in applications this year. The recruited attribute the interest to current world-wide emphasis on the environ­ ment. The current acceptance rate for social ecology applicants is 1 in 6. Most graduates of UC Irvine social ecology hold academic ca­ reers. Some graduates turn to Urban Plan­ ning. Western State University, College of Law (WSU) is the “only accredited law school in the area that offers Spring Admission,” said Carl Tusinski, Admissions Counselor. Stu­ dents can apply up to the start of the term via WSU’s rolling admissions policy. The Career Fair is a semi-annual event at CSUSM "provided funding continues," said Sandy Punch. Punch is organizing a Career and Teacher Education Fair in February 1994. The Teacher Education portion is strategically scheduled before campus interviews. The February 1994 Career Fair will target local and national businesses and agencies. Butdon'texpect to meetAT&T, ITT and TRW at the fair. Punch has invited them in the past but they declined. The reason—CSUSM does not offer de­ grees in engineering. �* Alumni-----— 1st Alumni Picnic A Hit THE UNIVERSITY NEEDS YOU By Richard Molloy President, A.S. Well, actually, the students need you to represent the “student point o f view.” There are a variety of university committees and it is encouraged that student representation exists. Committees are created to develop plans and policy about this university which will undoubtedly affect students at some point It is, therefore, crucial for us to have interested students who are willing to speak up when student issues arise. It is also a great way to meet faculty, staff and administrators. The following committees have positions available: Photo/Sheryl Greenblatt President Bill Stacy slams a volley ova-the net Nice form! By Debbie Duffy Contributing Writer The sound of sizzling hamburgers cook­ ing on a grill, the fragrance ofpies and cakes, the mouthwatering cookies, the sound of laughterand conversation, the sightofpeople playing games and gathering with Mends, all came together on August 29,1993. If you were listening, smelling, and see­ ing all these things, you were at the First CSUSM Alumni Association Picnic, held at Walnut Grove Park. The Alumni Associa­ tion wanted to pull everyone together for an old-fashioned picnic: alumni, students, fac­ ulty, staff, and families were all invited to enjoy end-of-summer festivities. Everyone who came had a good rime, either by meeting with friends, or by playing volleyball, baseball, and ‘Twister’, or by cooking and preparing dinner, but especially by consuming the food. Who could turn away delicious burgers, hot dogs, salads, chips, and dessert? No one at the picnic could or did. As people arrived, well-known faculty members manned the grills. Wearing trusty, well-worn aprons with interesting slogans, these self-confident men tackled the cook­ ing. Dr. Stacy, of course, led the way, demonstrating his faultless grilling style. Studiously attentive, Dr. Rocha, Dr. Lilly and Dr. Zomalt followed Dr. Stacy’s lead. Needless to say, everything was done to perfection. After eating, the children were invited to play games and win prizes. BritanyCrist,a LiberalArtsstudent,ran thechildren’sgames, and every child came running back to his or her parent, faces smiling,with goodies grasped in their hands. Volleyball teams were formed for some post-dining exercise and fun. “It is, of course, a strenuous game,” all agreed. Bestof all, a 100-person Twister’ game was donated by Milton Bradley. After the game was taped together, everyone had a rip-roaring time watching the players try to remain on their colored circles as the different body parts attempted to match differently colored circles while straining to keep the other body parts on the circles already called. Children competed against children, adults competed against children (not fair-children are naturally more flexible than adults), and university clubs competed against each other for a $30 prize. The children, of course, outlasted the adults (was there any doubt?). When the Circle K. Soccer and SCTA, TEKE and Economics clubsplayed againsteach other, rivalry displayed itself immediately. All the struggling, writhing, twisting, falling, and stretching, ultimately proved who the winner would be—the TEKE fraternity! Due to hard work of Lora Coad and her committee, Tom Weir and his staff, the TEKE fraternity, the donations from local businesses, and the grand effort of the cooks, the day was a huge success. By the end of an afternoon of food and fun, everyone was full, tired, and happy. They had come together as one, as an important part of an extraordinary univer­ sity named CSU San Marcos.

J �The Global Village Celebrates Its 3rd Year By Claudine Scott S taff Writer On Sunday, Oct. 3, CSUSM held its 3rd annual International Festival. In keeping with the CSUSM mission statement, the event was a celebration of cultural diversity represented in our community. The day was filled with tasty ethnic samplings and lively sights and sounds. Several booths lined the upper parking lot. Among the many countries represented were Africa, South America, Iran, China and Romania. All had fascinat­ ing objects to be admired or purchased. The atmo­ sphere was friendly and warm, no hard sell. Friends of the Library had a popular stand selling used books, some of them collector items dating back to 1898. All in all, prices were reasonable for all the booths’ wares. Throughout the day, a myriad of performances could be seen and heard at the main stage: Chinese Lion Dancers, Chasqui ensemble playing Andean music, Sankofa’s Afro-Jazz group, including the day’s featured performers, Los Lobos. The Children’s Stage also had many activities going on simultaneously. The children could choose from workshops in African d rumming, Indian and Spanish dance, and a Balkan song workshop. Local elemen­ tary school 5th and 6th graders provided the artwork on display with colorful masks created with the help of CSUSM volunteer visual arts students. This is just one example of CSUSM’s efforts to reach out into the community. There was also a variety of ethnic foods to sample. Everything from jambalaya, blackened fish and vegetable bourguignonne to egg rolls and authentic Mexican dishes. A day geared towards family fun, everyone en­ joyed the celebration of diverse cultures and customs. Smiles and sunshine were the order of the day.

Formed last spring semester by business students and fotmer business Dean Anderson, the Student Advi­ sory Council (SAC) for tbe College of Busi­ ness is operating and ready to assist business majors. Designed last semester to provide open communication between administration and students, CSUSM faculty wereaskedto nomi­ nate students they felt had the necessary quali­ fications to save as student advisors. Last spring, eight students woe chosen to serve on the first council. SAC is a group unique to CSUSM. While all colleges have two student representatives, this is tbe first college to have larger group representation. Council member Bob Mulqeen noted that a larger group of organized students can share tasks, reduce the work load, and facilitate student accessibility. Tbe goal of the Council is to provide an outlet for students to voice their concerns, opinions, and criticism. Although the busi­ ness dean’s office has always been open to students’ concerns, students may feel more comfortable approaching one of their own peas. This semester, SAC has already been busy fielding questions from students. The fall ‘93 curriculum greeted business majors with many changes. Units, course numbers and prerequi­ sites had been revised leaving many students confused. Student representatives working with SAC arranged an open forum in September with the new acting business Dean Diehr, and Richard Millman, Provost and VP of Academic Af­ fairs, to review the new business curriculum. Students attending the forum asked for in­ creased information to help them with future planning. Within a week, students received a tentative spring schedule which would allow them to plan next semester’s classes and anticipate problems. Further communication from business studoits is expected. Business majors should be receiving questionnaires which will ask for their input regarding upcom­ ing classes. In addition to the question­ naire, the SAC encourages ongoing stu­ dent input. The council welcomes any concerns signed or anonymous, and will do their best to investigate each student’s letter. Studoits can place written con­ cerns in one of the council’s mailboxes locatedintheCollegeofBusiness Admin­ istration, or in the Associated Student Office. �6 S tlld C n tG - _________________ _ ________ _ Y OU NAME IT/FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8,1993 . . .

Consider dropping the first draft of your term papa: in the mixed office papa: bin instead of the bottom of your bacpack. White office paper and computer pa­ per are the most valuable paper to recycle. It will make it easier for you to find your important papers, like the first edition of our nameless student newspaper. Once you have pored through our first edition take a minute to drop it in the newspaper container located in the stair­ way of Academic Hall. “Recycling a 36inch-tall stack of newspapers saves the equivalent of 14% of the average house­ hold electric bill,” according to the Recy­ cling Committee of CSUSM. Snapple bottles make a sticky mess rolling around in the back seat of your car yet can find a happy home in the Glass Recyclingbin. Youcanleavethelabelon, but please remove the lid. Once you have had your morning soda caffeine buzz, please discard your alumi­ num can in the Cans and Plastic bin. You can also add tin, bi-metal cans, metal pie plates and aluminum foil. Plastic milk cartons and soda bottles with a number one or two on the bottom can be recycled as well. ^ e c tfd i* ty *** fie a lfy * (Ufa*****1 1 1 Join Peace Corps Globalize Your Resume!

Jim 235-0247 for more information stand the stress of a powerful crisis. This crisis is triggered by the entrance of Anna Barton (Juliette Benoche) who has been dating the Fleming’s son Martin (Ruper Graves). Benoche gives a focused perfor­ mance, endowing Anna with a calm, brooding and hypnotic quality. Benoche’s Anna re­ mainsan enigmathroughoutthe film, a stranger who never truly becomes revealed to us or, for that matter, the other character with whom she interrelates. Steven Fleming predictably and blindly enters into a steamy affair with Anna Barton. Their passion for one another seems to tran­ scend their judgment. Soon, consistent with the dominant leadership role he has become used to playing, he acknowledges a need to create “some kind of order” out of the sudden emotional chaos their affair has brought into his life. He says, “We’ve got to find a struc­ ture for this,” but Anna remains as ephemeral as smoke. Fleming attempts to call the rela­ tionship off, but this fails when neither can resist the force which pulls them together. Anna warns him about herself: “Remember, damaged people are dan­ gerous. They know they can survive.” The chemistry between them becomes nothing short of spontaneous combus­ tion which ultimately destroys everything initspath. Wepity them as we would pity two lovers falling into an abyss. We are less likely to judge them because Malle’s deliberate telling of the story establishes that they are both obviously caught in die spell of something enormous. Finally, Anna surprisingly drifts away from the damage ultimately created by their indis­ cretion, as enormous in nature as the depth of their passion. To the very end, she remains aremote mystery, paradoxi­ cally affected yet impervious to the dam­ age left in her wake.

Unlike the 15th century Italians who named Influenza because they thought the disease was influenced by the stars, we do know the cause and better yet, have a vaccine to prevent i t The Influenza vaccine will be available again this year at Student Health Services. Ib is wily virus has once again mutated and a new strain appeared last year. Therefore, the 1993-1994 vaccine is different and will provide protection against this new strain called the Beijing flu. Who should get the vaccine? Groups considered high-risk are those with chronic cardiovascular (heart) disease, chronic pulmonary (lung) disease including asthma, chronic metabolic disease, people age 60 or older, health care workers and anyone having extensive contact with high-risk persons. High-risk persons will be vaccinated free with state supplied vaccine. People who are not considered highrisk can receive the vaccine for a $10 fee. This program is open to students, faculty and staff and will begin today. If you have questions regarding the desirability or need for the vaccine, or wish to make an appointment for a flu shot, please contact Student Health Services at 752-4915. COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIR COMES TO NORTH COUNTY By Susan Mendes Health Education Assistant On Saturday, October 16, a Commu­ nity Health Fair is being held at Alvin Dunn Elementary School, 300 South Rancho Santa Fe Road, San Marcos. The mission of the fair is to bring our neighborhood together in a positive, healthy way. The event is targeted to­ wards elementary school children and their families, and is designed to provide basic medical services, such as immuni­ zations and health screenings and to pro­ vide information and access to health and social services resources. Sponsors include the City of San Marcos, North County Health Services, Kaiser Hos­ pital, Scripps Hospital, Palomar Hospital, Palomar College and California State Uni­ versity, San Marcos. The Health Education Department of Student Health Services, along with a number of dedicated CSUSM student vol­ unteers, will sponsor a nutrition booth entitled “Healthy Mexican Cooking.” They will have a cooking demonstration and will give a free fajita to each child who participates in health screenings at the other booths. Also, some of our students have volun­ teered at the booth for drug and alcohol information sponsored by the North County Community Task Force for Drug and Alcohol Prevention, of which CSUSM is a member. They will be making juice snow cones forthechildren. Thanks goes to Tom Weir for the generous use of his machine. If any CSUSM students have children who need immunizationsor health screen­ ings, they may participate simply by bring­ ing their child to the event with a yellow immunization card. All services are free. Fair times are 12 noon to 5 p.m. Also present will be the party jump, sea of balls, clowns, and face painting. It should be a fun event for all. If any other students would like to help out at a booth, please call Susan Mendes at Student Health Services, 752-4915.
