Carter discussed the future of CSUSM with students and gave his viewpoints on the proposed budget cuts to higher education by California Governor Pete Wilson. Carter said he understood the governor's position and commented that "the problems with higher education were inherited by Governor Wilson, not created by him." Carter also discussed plans for student governance, the formation of student activities and the quality of curriculum at CSUSM. MAYOR NAMED BALL HONOREE San Marcos Mayor Lee Thibadeau has been named honoree at this year's University Ball. The naming comes after a suggestion for his appointment by the CSUSM Foundation. The University Ball is the college's primary fundraiser. Tickets for the Ball, which has enjoyed sold-out crowds in the past, are $ 125. Thibadeau said he was "honored" by the appointment and said he felt that he was just one of many integral persons helpful in the formation of the university. For the past seven years,Thibadeau was instrumental in attracting attention to the new university. As a city councilman, he was one of the first to approach California Senator William Craven with the idea of a North County university. TWO CONCERT PERFORMANCES PLANNED March marks the beginning of another series of concerts at the CSUSM, SDSU North County Library . The series is sponsored by both universities and admission is free to the public. Holly Hoffman, a critically acclaimed recording artist, will bring a unique hard-driving jazz style to the university for Women's History Month. Hoffman's melodic renditions with the flute will be accompanied by Gunnar Biggs, on the bass, Mike Wofford, piano, and Jim Plank, on the drums. Hoffman will perform March 10 in the Library. The performance begins at 7 p.m. Raices del Ande, a music ensemble that specializes in Andean music, will perform March 17 in the Library. The four founding members of Raices del Ande are from Bolivia. Donald Funes, Professor of Fine Arts at CSUSM, was the group's director for several years and will be performing with them on their West Coast tour. For more information on the concert series, call 471-3515. SPEAKER'S SERIES RESUMES NEWS Rains cause damage on campus A series of storms that hit the area last week left campus officials and students drowning in rain-rejated problems. * Downpours caused the collapse of ceilings throughout thecampus, while flooding occurred in the student parking lot. "Every building has roof leaks," said Ivalee Clark, assistant director of Support Services. "It happens every time it rains." According to Clark, ceiling damage in the 800 Building was extensive. Financial Services was also inundated with rain damage. Campus officials pointed out that, despite discomfort created from the rains, instruction was not dampened. Bookstore worker John Harris noted flooding in one of Aztec S hops' storage rooms. According to Harris, damage was done to paper products which were stored in the room. Koll Management, thefirmwhich oversees the building complex where the temporary campus is located, refused comment on the flooding. An official from Koll did say, however, that reparations would be made when the rains ceased. Some students reported that tow trucks were needed to free waterlogged cars fromfloodedareas in the student parking lot. Service was also needed for several cars that would not start due to soaked distributor caps. Those who parked on the street adjacent to the campus also waded through their share of problems. CSÚSM student Judy Walters said she had to remove a fallen tree limb from the road in order to park her car. M ARK HOPKINS/PIONEER CSUSM student Steve Felice climbs over the fence surrounding the parking lot after rains last Thursday flooded the lot's exit. Liberal Studies student Wendy Peterson faced problems of a different nature. Peterson, who is restricted to a motorized wheelchair, found the flooded parking lot inconvenient She said she dropped a book in a puddle while trying to negotiate the drenched campus. Officials speculated that the damage to ceilings occurred because of the complex's flat-roofed construction. Task Force seeks government model J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER After a semester of research, Cal State San Marcos' Student Governance Task Force continues to work on the second step in implementing a student government by the end of this semester. After completing an Associated Students Mission Statement in October, the Task Force members started their second goal of determining what WRITING CENTER OPENS form of government would best suit Students wishing help in writing term papers, essays or other reports can find it at CSUSM's new writing center.

Taylor said the survey would not mandate what structure the Task Force would choose. "It's not a vote," she said. "It's to get a general idea of what the students would support.... The survey allows us to make the correct decision. It's more of an informative survey for us." Task Force member David Hammond said that by last Friday afternoon, about 90 surveys were returned; a total of 1,000 surveys were distributed to students by professors. "We were pleased with 90," Hammond said. "It shows a statistical significance because it represents a large share of students as far as surveys-gor"- - — - 1——. J Both Taylor and Hammond said the Representative structure was leading the three examples, but noted that not all surveys were tabulated. "Itappears that the Representative Government was the most popular pick among the students," Hammond said. "Three out of the six Task Force members want the Representative," said Taylor. "It allows everyone to take part. It's truly representative of the organization of a whole." A decision is expected to be made at this Friday's Task Force meeting. The next phase is to writeaconstitution based on the chosen form of government. That project is expected to take about three months. The final phase is implementing the student government with elections. "Hopefully, we'll be able to have elections thissemester,"Taylor said. �4 PIONEER/TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1 9 9 1 NEWS Only moderate exercise needed to maintain healt 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."

RAH PASSES TOURS HOSTELS Instructor's musical teaching theory beats with a different global drum LARRY BOISJOUE/PIONEER To Dr. Donald Funes, there is more to music than reading notes and studying composers. Funes, who instructs music at Cal State San Marcos, wants to help create a Music Department that reflects global awareness and intra-cultural sensitivity. "It's difficult to break the traditional molds of teaching music," said Funes "Programs traditionally deal with dead, white, male composers." Funes teaches his classes the con-! cept of ethnomusicology, the study of music in its social context. Funes said that this form of music education will increase sensitivity about women and other races. He indicated that the study ofjust classical composers is not reflective of the whole picture music paints. "We need to look at music in the context of society," he said. Apart from teaching music of other cultures, Funes is also active in performing it as well. On March 17, he will be performing with Raices del Andes, a group of South American musicians. Funes, who was trained in classical music in Washington, became involved with Andean music after searchingfordifferentstylesofmusical expression. "In the 60s I started hearing more and more folk music. I wanted to play in a more informal environment, so I started searching for different types of music," Funes said. His search began in India, but was cut short due to problems at home. In the mid 1980s, Funes took a sabbatical in New York to teach Concert Raices Del r Ande: Performs the second show in this semesters Concert Series sponsored by CSUSM and SDSU North County.

Simon, according to Funes, has awakened the world's interest in South African music. Funes said that music reflects class struggles within cultures, and that it is able to adapt with cultures. In order to capture the feelings in different types of music, Funes said he likes to attend traditional festivals South American countries to get the feel of the culture.

SAN MARCOS BLVD., SAN M ARCOS �PIONEER/TUESDAY, M ARCH 5 , 1 991 Nation now has new heros, cause For two decades, America has been a nation without a cause. Following the tragedy of Vietnam and in the wake of Watergate, a cloud ofcomplacency settled upon acountry feeling the injuries of war and betrayal by its leaders. For two decades, we have been a nation without heros. With the death of Martin Luther King, Black America lost its greatest symbol of true freedom andequality. The President of the United States lost his leadership and became nothing less than a common criminal to his baffled nation. Our soldiers, in fighting a socially unpopular war, lost their dignity somewhere amidst the confusion. PURVIEWS P I O N E E R S T A F F E DITORIAL Women deserve equality In the 1970s, the proposed Equal Rights Amendment was shot down. The rejection wasn't because it didn't receive the amount of needed votes; it cleared the House, the Senate* President Jimmy Carter, and 48 states had ratified the bill. This ideal amendment failed to become a part of America's constitution simply by missing its deadline. Utah and North Carolina failed to cast their vote by the scheduled date. These two states, controlled mainly by strong, male-dominated churches, failed to add to this country's foundation of laws a revolutionary bill that would have been beneficial to the female population as well as the male. Women in America have been lobbying and rallying for equality among the male-founded, run, and dominated American society; a patriarchal culture has determined how this country was molded and set. Today's culture has changed and now women want to stand on the same platforms as their counterparts. This new setting is welcomed by most, and should be allowed to evolve in a society where both sexes are equal. What those two states failed to realize when they missed the ratification deadline was that the Equal Rights Amendment would also benefit men, since with equality comes mutual responsibility. The military is a good example for this point, a topic of high interest today. Women would have had a kind of two-fold equality when it comes to the battlefield. First, a woman could fight alongside a man when defending this country or attacking an offending army. Some consider it a great honor to die for this country, an honor only reserved for men. What makes a woman less suitable to fight a war? What makes a man more superior in this area? The second part of this equal responsibility is that women would be forced to fight; a draft would include women as well as men. - ir; AaQttessOT&lfcQf shared responsibility would perhaps be a new viewpoint of child-raising. This could have been a great victory for the man, the parent who is usually denied the right to raising children in the case of divorce or a split-up based on his gender. Who determined that a man is less suitable to build a family? What makes a woman much more superior in this area? Society has stereotyped the man as strong with no feelings, a woman with feelings and no strength. People asked that to change with the proposed amendment, and it must if the evolution to equality is to develop. Mythology shows the worship of a goddess, history shows civilization with shared powers among genders; in the 70s it was two different denominations in two distant states that felt their religion to be sorightthat they had to keep men superior to women. Religion should not dominate the decision making of today and neither should men. The failure of the Equal Rights Amendment is a scar on America's history. Females deserve equal status, representation, and responsibility. Keep in mind, however, the term "equality," a word the late states might have misunderstood. The added words to the constitution would not change America's culture to a matriarchal society, but only grant equality. This miscommunication between countrypersons would also have corrected some reverse discrimination. The availability for scholarships and jobs for women was drastically low then. To correct that, a surge of needed monies and career opportunities opened. Now getting funding for school and finding a job is easier for a woman than for a man. This is is a reflection of Affirmative Action. Both examples, in attempting to correct discrimination, now discriminate against the white man. This discrimination game would have stopped with theEqual Rights Amendment. J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER A country that is moved to patriotic tears and feels the glimmer of pride glowing in its soul, is a place beyond the memory of most of us. For two decades we have been a nation without feeling, cause or heros. If there is anything to be learned from the events in the Persian Gulf, it's that America is, once again, aplaceof heros and cause. With General Colin Powell, Black America once again has a prodigious model of leadership. His name has become a synonym of intelligence an integrity that we all can utter with pride. George Bush has brought honor back to the title of President. His calmness and steadfastness combined to reveal the Chief Executive as a superb diplomat, while his powers as Commander-in-Chief brought strength back to the reputation of the military. The soldiers of the war - ourfriends,family and spouses - are heros, not only of our hearts, but ofour souls as well. They fought for all that the word "America" has traditionally symbolized, and walked away victorious. To them we owe the Inflation of our country's value. What all these heros stand for, is the awakening of a consciousness that has laid asleep for two decades. The veterans of our past war can now walk with dignity for all to see, while politicians can move awayfromthe mistrusted realm of lawyers and used-car salespeople. Black Americans can now chase their dreams with one of many men who have dared to conquer them. Whereas once we laughed at Bush's idea of a New World Order, now we can join it in faith and make it our own peaceful reality. If all this seems overly sentimental and rhetorical, then look at the miraculously low loss of lives our troops suffered in the war. Even though the death of just one human being to warfare is intolerable and grievous, the impossibly small loss of our lives gives us physical evidence that hopes can indeed become realized. Let us all welcome our troops back with a blaze of enlightenment and show them that they were fighting for more than oil they werefightingfor all this country stands for. Those who bravelyriskedtheir lives for thefreedomof a tiny chunk of the world should stand forever in our hearts as monuments against complacency. Their cause was just and they are heros all. It is time now for each of us to be heros on the homefront. We should take the courage of those soldiers far away and internalize i t Let us all f^ght peacefully for our long-lost American dream. �TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1991 / P I O N E E R P50-2 S.

I have no place to go." a n IRAQI CAPTAIN upon surrender OPINION L ibrary needs e xpanded h ours to complete u niversity's mission A school's reputation is built just like a new business: one finished product at a time. In this regard, we are fortunate that the mission here at Cal State San Marcos is to build "Stanford South." We will be the benficiaries of these commitmants. While I am glad that the Cal State San Marcos faculty is fulfilling its promise to squeeze everythingfromus that is possible, I fefel like a football player starting the Superbowl without helmet and shoulder pads: I'm playing hard, but I am getting way too banged around. Sure, we all knew that the entreprenuerial venture entailed some bumps, but I - and others - are fed up with a major campus deficiency: adequate library access time. In the world according to 1990 higher-education curriculum, student use of the library is far more meaningful than just a quiet room with, D AVID HAMMOND P I O N E E R C OLUMNIST books. In fact, a legitimate argument circulates that the library should be two seperate areas: Circulation, for books and such, and a Computer Lab, for line time that is unaffordable at home, and unaccordable anywhere but the school. So it goes that when a library closes at 4:30 7 pm, or never opens on Sunday, both resources are denied, and the prospect of "Stanford South" becomes a pipe dream. Ultimately, Cal State San Marcos will default to the diploma-mill status as frustrated students give up their ambitions to master the "A" grade. On theother hand, action speaks louder than words. This column will only reach a few administrators, but your collective voice can shake a world. The only means to extending the library hours (and thereby providing the means to fulfill tlte dreams) is a letter and petition campaign. Drop off a note at President Stacy's office indicating that you want the library hours extended to 7 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and open on Sunday. Sign the petitions that are circulating. Your slightest involvement will contribute to the greater cause. Cold War downfall brings uncertainty I miss the cold war. Especially after following the most recent hot one. If war is hell, what is a cold war? Heaven? Maybe not quite, but I think the cold war provided all nations with concise roles. All countries fell in one of three categories. Either pro-west, pro-east, or Switzerland. Everybody knew how to behave themselves politically during those times. For example, a country aligned with the west would not have invaded one of the opposite affiliation because the Soviet Union would see the move as a direct aggression against its interests. The USSR in turn would have to go against the initial aggressor, which the U.S. would see as an act against their interests. Now we have direct clash of super powers. But both powers had MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction) and were wise enough to understand i t Both had to keep regional strifes in check to guarantee their survival. A super power invasion into territory that was not considered crucial to the other side was protested in the United Nations but that is were it stopped. It was always comical when a representative aired grievances, and the offending party nodded complacently as if listening to a Bob Marley and The Wailers tape through his or her earphones. When the Soviets invaded Afghanistan or S o^P. I side was completely out of the question. But things are a little different now. For understandable reasons Gorbachev decided that domestic problems were more important than spending billions of Rubles keeping the Capitalistic Protection Rampart standing. In a way Hungary can be blamed for the gulf crisis. They were the first Eastern Block nation to dismantle their Capitalistic Protection Rampart protecting them from Austria. Thousands of Hungarians and East Germans took the advantage of the open border end migrated to the west. East Germany was losing so many people that their country was on the verge of collapse. They had no choice but to tear down the wall. The Iron Curtain was lifted and the East Block aired out. George Bush calls this the S HARE YOUR V IEWS "New World Order."

But Comedy Nite in Oceanside uses just therightblend of atmosphere and talent to make even the most prudish of San Diego audiences burst with laughter. ' The atmosphere at Comedy Nite contains all the traditional j tt elements one would expect in a comedy club. The walls are ™ adorned with pictures of many of today's brightest comedians. The stage has a traditional backdrop of bricks and is conveniently close to die patrons for maximum performer-audience interaction. Drinks with names like ' The Elaine 'Booz'ler," "The Yakov Smirnoff* and the "The Pee Wee Herman" are served alongside food items with names like "The Robin Williams" and "The George Carlin." But the real stars at Comedy Nite are the performers themselves. For an entertainment club that is barely a year old, Comedy Nite hosts a surprisingly adept scope of talent Everyone from the emcee to the headliner on the night I attended was top-notch in the not-so-subtle art of generating laughter. The show on Feb. 25 began with a Mexican-American comedian from Lubbock, Texas named Raphael. As emcee, Raphael set the tone of the show with a series of witty jokes about his heritage. He interwove a Mexican-American perspective into a routine that touched on everyday observances and occurrences. The first act introduced by Raphael was Pierre, a performer ¡from Washington D.C. Pierre was by far the most disappointing performer of the night. His downfall was not due to the lack of snappiness in his routine, but rather from the abruptness of i t After warming the audience up with a series of clever gags about hitchhikers, Pierre quickly packed up his show and yielded to the next performer, leaving the audience thirsting for more. Having gone to the trouble of bringing Pierre in from D.C., the least Comedy Nite could have done was give him a few more minutes. In stark contrast, the headliner, San Diego's own Peter Gaulke, had too much time on die stage.

"Would you like to see my dog do a trick," asks Lee. The crowd responds with affirmative applause. "So would I," says Lee. Most comedians would have trouble eliciting any kind of laughter with this joke, but in Lee's case it is a big success. Michael Lee is blind, and Troy is not only his best friend, he's his eyes as well. Lee represents a unique brand of entertainer that can take a disability, that would be a tragedy to most, and transform it into comedy. Apartfromcomedy, Lee hosts a radio show for people with disabilities, gives motivational speeches across the country and has had articles published in major magazines. But for the 35-year-old comic, dealing with blindness has not always been a laughing matter. His life of darkness began 22 years ago while lighting a fire.

One moment the mass will be in stitches, literally spilling their drinks onto thefloorwith laughter. The next moment they turn like hungry piranhas, ready to shred the performer with razorsharp heckles. I stood in the back of the room awaiting my turn, hoping desperately that the entertainer in front of me was worse than I could possibly be. Before I knew it, my name was called and it was my turn to face theficklecrowd. I had just entered that unique corner of the twilight zone known as stand-up comedy. With three major comedy clubs and a variety of nightspots which feature amateur and professional comedians, the San Diego area is a west coast Mecca for those wishing to delve into the art of making people laugh. Clubs like the Improvisation in Pacific Beach, or the Comedy Store in La Jolla, attract name stars like Robin Williams or Eddie Murphy. With a little luck, a lot of perseverance and a hell of a lot of nerve, almost anyone with the ability to launch a good yuk can make it big in the local comedy circuit. My experience with stand-up comedy lasted a gruelling six months. I travelled from nightclub to nightclub, hitting every amateur night and hoping to walk away with at least a tenuous grasp on my integrity. TYPING TYPING S The steps are easy for those wishing to score a three-minute gig at an amateur comedy night. First meticulously write an entertaining routine that addresses social problems in a lighthearted and quasi-intellectual fashion and demonstrates to the audience that not only are you a person of wit, but of substance as well. Or, you can do like I did and stoop to outright stupid jokes. The key to putting together a riotous routine is integrating yourself into the script. Find that one thing funny about yourself whether it be your looks or your love life - and build around it. If there is absolutely nothing funny about yourself, then develop an amusing alter-ego, or schtick, and use it to do the talking. Since I was an employee for a grocery störe, I incorporated my experiences with products and customers as a gimmick. I used everything from plastic bags to heads of cauliflower as props. Be sure to incorporate canned responses to whatever hecklers might be in the crowd. Hecklers do not necessarily interrupt the performance to degrade the comedian, sometimes their unsolicited remarks are launched as a crude form of compliment. If the heckler is ignored, however, any reputation for wit that the NEED SOMETHING TYPED? flCCCJ-TYPE handles: • Class papers • Resumes imw • Typesetting • Design • B&W camera services TYPING CALL TODAY: TYPING TYPING fiCCd-TYPE (619) 743-1426 E E K E R CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 S performer has established will be destroyed. After meticulously writing and rewriting a routine, practice it thoroughly until it flows from your tongue. Do it in the bathroom, in front of the mirror, or in the car while driving. Do it in the living room or at work, and when you've done it enough to where it seems natural and free-flowing, do it in front of a non-captive audience. Choose your mother in-law or boss, or anyone else who is disinterested in what you have to say, and launch your repertoire. If they have trouble holding back even the slightest of grins, then you'rQ ready to perform. Avoid practicing in front of dogs, cats, ztsrz goldfish, or any other lower life form, since it is difficult to tell if they are smiling or even paying attention. B^i The stage itself is the most intimidating factor of the entire comedy experience. There are complete mixed feelings of uncertainty and aloneness which seem to flow from your pores under the burning lights. Stage fright manifests itself in the most extreme fashion when you are trying to make a crowd of people laugh. I found the feeling of terror ¡ P3P£ m S EE THRILL/PAGE 1 1 an HBO comedy special, is probably best known for his short stints on MTV. The madcap white-gloved hands that trounce throughout the video network's transmissions belong to the baggy-pants funnyman himself. Gaulke's routine had its shining moments, but seemed far too drawn-out. He stretches his clothes far better than he stretches his routine. What makes Gaulke such a prized performer, is his limber use of his hands in the "fingerman" schtick, and the clever way in which he manipulates his clothing. His "torso-man" routine was the funniest 20 seconds of the night. But, without question, the funniest 20 minutes of the evening belonged to Boston comic Peter Bermen. A former loser on 'Star Search' and 'Remote Control,' Bermen was a winner with the audience. Not only was Bermen's stock routine well-written and masterfully performed, his talent of improvisation was mind-boggling as well. With effortless ease, he bent with the crowd. His interplay with them was quick and user-friendly. Bermen brought daily issues, like the war, into his routine, and was able to joke about sex without using profanity. Look for him to make it big in the future. All of the shows presented at the club were almost television clean. With limited use of profanity, the performers demonstrated that laughter doesn't have to be a four-letter word. On a scale of one to four "yawps," - four "yawps" being the best - the Comedy Nite performers I saw got a hearty three and threequarters "yawps" and maybe a "giggle" or two.

Through his experiences, Lee was able to communicate with the kids that all people are disabled in some way. "Kids talked about their own disabilities," Lee says. They began to recognize that wearing glasses or being overweight was subject to the same kinds ofridiculeas having a disability like blindness. Lee enjoyed the experience so much, he began speaking to crowds of people on a regular basis. "When I speak, I like to invoke emotions in the audience. If I can get them to laugh, then I'm successful," Lee says, Sixteen months ago, after his wife left him, Lee decided it was time to clean up his act and lead a healthy life. He quit smoking and EXPLORE 1 1 entered the Clean and Sober program. "After I quit smoking and drinking, I was left with a whole lot of time," says Lee. So he decided to pursue his longtime ambition of becoming a stand-up comedian. Lee faced his fear of stage fright and took a workshop by comedy coach Lee Glickstein. After observing Lee's ability of launching a joke, Glickstein asked him to perform in a comedy show highlighting disabled comedians. "At first he asked me to do 10 minutes and I says I can do that. The 10 minutes turned into 15, then 20 and finally I was asked to emcee the show," says Lee. The show, c alled Access to Comedy,'featured two other performers with disabilities. The other performers were Benjamin Stewart, a 29-inch tall comedian with brittle-bone disease, and Joel Rutledge, a legally blind comic with a stuttering problem. The show was covered by a local San Francisco NBC affiliate and footage of the show reached CNN. Since the Access to Comedy* 4 4 I NTERNATIONAL M ARKETING F IRM NOW HIRING INTERNS!!

HAVE DOG WILL TRAVEL show, Lee has performed at San Francisco's oldest comedy club, the Holy City Zoo, and has done routines in the San Diego area at Phil McNasty's in Escondido and Diego's Surfside in Solana Beach. He performs in the area when visiting his mother in Fallbrook or his 4-year-old daughter, Robin who lives in North County with his exwife. Lee travels across the country, giving motivational speeches with . his dog Troy. Last month alone, he travelled to Arizona, Rhode Island, Washington D.C. and Chicago. "Troy loves people and travelling," says Lee. "Although he bugs club owners because he likes to lay in the walkways." About 50 percent of Lee's routines deal with blindness, while the other half focuses on modern issues like the war and relationships. Occasionally Lee runs across a heckler or two when doing his routine, but he says dealing with them is all part of the a ct "I've been heckled," he says. "When you work in a place that serves alcohol, you have to be ready to deal with hecklers. If you let them intimidate you, then you're gone." * Lee says he is a "friendly comedian," or a performer that doesn't pick on the audience. He says that working with an audience is more natural to him than putting the crowd down. The most rewarding experience associated with public speaking came for Lee one night after a presentation. "A person came up to me after a speech and said, 'I was considering suicide until I heard you,'" he says. Lee regularly hosts a radio show in the Bay Area called 'Comic Minds.' The program, which is aimed at people with disabilities, airs, through national link-up, across the country. On the show, he interviews comedians and takes calls from listeners. Someday, Lee says he would like to do commercials on television and build his exposure. "Comedy has given me confi- «¿v dence in myself to stand up and do things," he says. THRILL CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10 v diminishing after the first laughs from the crowd. Once you realize that your routine is going smoothly, the audience becomes your friend. The measure of the best comedians is the ability to pull the crowd into the routine. Although in amateur comedy , repartee with the audience is not essential, the ability to engage in intelligent dialogue with them will boost your status as an entertainer: If all this sounds terrifying and nerve-racking to you, then perhaps comedy is not your bag of tricks. But if you've got that urge to ham it up and entertain, then there is no thrill-seeking^experience as rewarding as stand-up. I was lucky when I performed at my first amateur night at the Improv. The performer before me - John from New York - was so bad, that a comedy stint from Dan Quayle would have been welcomed. Not all of my jokes were as successful as I had anticipated, but at least I was able to exit from that little corner of hell with my. integrity unscorched.

With a menu that includes both familiar Chinese dishes and wonderfully different Vietnamese food, this family-owned restaurant offers a quaint and comfortable dining atmosphere that is sure to maximize your dining enjoyment. The owners of the restaurant treat all diners as if they were houseguests. They're not afraid to get personal with the clientele and frequently stop O LLEGIATE by the tables just to engage in friendly chit chat. Before leaving, make sure you have a conversation with Willie, the "owner's husband," who is a delightful conversationalist If you like your food lively, or prefer it tame, D' Jade Vine lets you choose the spiciness ofyourown meal. Diners can request hotness by using a simple one to ten scale. For example, if you like food to blow your tastebuds to Saturn, choose OURMET a 10 in spiciness. Caution should be used, when choosing this degree of hotness, since oriental spices can make your food too scathing to enjoy. Even if you like it hot, start out with a lower degree of heat and work your way up. An excellent choice for an appetizer is the six homemade egg rolls for $2.85, which are crunchy on the outside with spices, tender vegetables and meat on the inside. You can try capturing some of the best main dishes of the orient for just $3.95 to $5.50.

D'Jade Vine's vegetarian selections are equally as delectable as its other dishes. The Vegetarian Chow Mein and Egg Foo Young are espe- cially exquisite. If you like unique and exotic beverages, ask Willie about the restaurant's specialty fruit drinks. Particularly notable is the Cherimoya juice. The exotic fruit yields a drink that is as thick as a milkshake and as sweet as candy.

Six poets t o perform in benefit for journal LARRY B OISJOLIE /PIONEER Patrick Bergin haunts Julia Roberts in 'Sleeping with the Enemy.' Raising funds for Cal State San Marcos' first literary journal can be a culturally rewarding experience for the community and college as well. This is the approach of journal organizer Regina John, who has organized a poetry reading to raise funds fpr the infant project. John has assembled six poets that reflect both gender and cultural diversity in a reading scheduled March 17. "An important aspect of this university is furthering cultural interest," John said. Through the presentation, John said she hopes to show the community that poetry reading can be entertaining and intellectually fulfilling as well. The six artists scheduled to read their works volunteered time and talent in order to show their support for the journal. All have been published and reflect global diversity. Reading for the two-hour event will be poets Steve Kowit, A1 Zolynas, James Allen, Kari Elliot, Karen Kenyan and Diane Hill, all of which currently reside in the San Diego area. Hill has been published in several poetry anthologies including the 1985 'Seacoast Poets Anthology' and a journal entitled 'Up Against the Wall Mother.' She is a freelance writer in the San Diego area. Kenyan, an instructor at SDSU and MiraCosta College, writes both prose >and poetry and published her Sleeping with Enemy' a real snoozer Julia Roberts is on a roll. Since 'Pretty Woman' came out last year, her name has been synonymous with box office success. As the daughter who dies in 'Steel Magnolias* or a medical student playing with death in 'Flatliners,' she's had one hit after another. She's also been nominated as Best Actress in this year's Academy Awards. And now Roberts is in a new thriller called 'Sleeping with the Enemy.' In the movie, she plays Laura Burney, a woman married to an obsessive, abusing man (played by Patrick Bergin). She decides she's had enough abuse and fakes her own death. She relocates in Iowa, takes on another name and begins her life anew. Her next door neighbor (Kevin Anderson) falls for her, but she hesitates at getting involved with any man again. Eventually, he wins her trust and she tells him her story. But it's only a matter of time before her husband, Martin, figures out what Laura has done. The sus- W ENDY W ILLIAMS pense builds as he gets ever closer to finding out where she is. F rom o utcome ofthe final confrontation is predictable. There are no surprises here, which is unfortunate. The filmakers have decided to rely on tried and true characters. The only notable exception is Anderson who shines in what could have been an obscure role. Still, if you have the chance, check out a truly suspenseful 'Silence of the Lambs' instead of 'Sleeping with the Enemy.' P IONEER FILM C RITIC first book entitled 'Sunshower* in 1981. The story of her child with Down's Syndrome led her to writing. Elliot is a poet from Norway who currently teaches at National U n i v e r v sity in Vista.

Zolynas is an Austrian born poet who has travelled the world in search of a home: He teaches at USIU in San Diego, and has published a collection called 'The New Physics.' Kowit teaches at Southwestern College and has published a collect tion called, 'The Maverick Poets.' John said she received "enthusiastic" cooperation from CSUSM, particularly from Dr. Ken Mendoza of the English Department, who will emcee the event. She enlisted the help of student Tanis Brown to acquire the free use of a room at the Joslyn Center, 111 Richmar Rd. in San Marcos. Currently, the journal has received over 60 submissions, but has no resources to fund the $1,500 project. Even though admission to the reading is free, John said she hopes viewers will be inspired to give donations for the cause. The presentation will begin at 4 p.m. on March 17. There will be an . intermission in the show and refreshments can be purchased.
