ELECTIONS Committee sets parameters L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER With Cal State San Marcos' first Associated Students elections underway April 22 and 23, the A.S. Elections Committee, last Thursday, set parameters for items of protocol not outlined in the A.S. Constitution. Among the guidelines established by the committee, were the criteria for what constitutes a determining majority and rules governing campaign ethics. In order for a candidate to be elected as president of the A.S., 50 percent of the votes cast plus one vote must be received in favor of that candidate. It was the unanimous decision of the committee that a simple majority would insure that students elect the most qualified candidate possible. Paul Phillips, director of Financial Aid and a member of the council, pointed out that simply having the highest percentage of the popular vote does not necessarily insure the best representation. With f our candidates running for the presidential position, the probability of one person garnering more than SO percent of the vote is low, the committee reasoned. In order to help students decide which candidate to choose, an open forum has been set for April 18. The forum will be held at noon in the Student Lounge. At the event candidates will give a brief statements of their platforms and address questions from the voters. Since more than one representative for each college will be chosen by the electorate, the candidates with the highest percentage of the vote will fill the available seats. Also on next week's ballot is a proposition to ratify the Associated Students Constitution that was drafted by the Student Governance Task Force on March 16. In order for the Constitution to be approved, a 2/3 SEE ELECT/PAGE 4 § P residential C andidates Four students have announced their candidacy for Associated Student President.

Barry Munitz named chancellor amid CSU budgetary crisis time LONG BEACH - State trustees named Barry Munitz chancellor of the California State University system, April 4, with the hopes that his educational and business experience could guide the 20-campus system through its worstfinancialtimes ever. Munitz, 4 9, was chosen by a "strong majority" of the 19-member board over two other finalists. The three top candidates* were selected from more than 700 applicants from throughout the nation. "There is probably no one better equipped to help us through these difficult budget times than Dr. Munitz," said CSU Trustee J. Garry Shansby. "With his private and public record of service, we believe he will do a terrific j ob leading the CSU." Munitz served as chief operating officer of Federated Development since 1982. Also serving as vice chair of Federated*s P arent c ompany, Maxxam (which owns Pacific Lumber Co.), Munitz was the most controversial of the finalists. Santa Monica Assemblyman Tom Hayden branded Munitz as "insensitive to environmental issues" based on his a ffiliation with Maxxam. However Board of Trustees Chair William Campbell said such claims arenotconsistentwithMunitz'sbackground. Munitz served as chancellor of the University of Houston's main campus from 1977 to 1982. Prior to that time, he was vice president for academic development at the University of Illinois and a staff associate with the Carnegie Foundation Commission on Higher Education. On Aug. 1, Munitz will succeed a cting CSU c hancellor E llis E . McCune, who stepped into the position when W. Ann Reynolds resigned a midst c ontroversy. P roponents claimed Reynolds secretly granted large pay raises to herself and top administrators. Munitz* s selection comes on the heels of massive budget cuts by California G overnor P ete W ilson. Wilson'sproposed budget would trim $600 million from the requested $2 billion CSU operating budget. The failure of the the $450 million Proposition 143 in November further compounds budgetary woes facing Munitz. The proposition would have added revenues to construction and renovation of CSU campuses. Trustees sought a strong leader to help steer the system through financial difficulties and help restore the public confidence that was lost in the Reynolds scandal. Even though many of the problems facing the system seem insurmountable, Munitz said he believes the CSU can become a model for other undergraduate systems. He said that he has a strong belief that the CSU may be the single best place in the country to establish that undergraduate teaching is equal in value to graduate education. Munitz also favors decentralization of the system, a reversal of the trend established during the Reynolds administration. Munitz is in favor of strengthening the individuality ofeach CSU school rather than lessening i t When assuming his new post, Munitz will take a pay cut of $225,00 from his presidential position with Federated. His salary will drop from $400,000 year to $175,000 per year. Space summer camp program seeks alliance with university M ARK HOPKINS/PIONEER Junior high schoolers may beblasting-off to future careers in space if an initial proposal to site a camp at Cal State San Marcos gets off the ground. Balboa Park's International Aerospace Museum is looking for land to permanently house up to two space exploration camps in San Diego County. "We do not have a permanent site as of yet," says Geoige Leisz, Chair of the Aerocenter Committee, the organization responsible for establishing the space camp. "Dr. Stacy (president of CSUSM) contacted me about the program/'said Leisz about the campus being a possible home for one of the camps. In addition to talks with Stacy about leasing land, the museum is undergoing talks with the City of San Diego to possibly house a camp at Brown's Field, a light-aircaft airport located near Tijuana International Airport Stacy said the University Council has not committed to the project, but indicated CSUSM is interested in the idea. "There's been nothing concrete asked as of yet," he said. Leisz said the one-year-old program is modeled after Spacecamp, which is located in Alabama. Currently, the camp is at the University of San Diego, with additional academic support comingfrom San Diego State and the University of California at San Diego. According to Leisz the idea of a space exploration camp is very popular with seventh- and eighth-graders, to the point of overflowing. He said that one of the reasons why the museum initiated the program locally last year was because a number of the participants of the Alabama program live in California; more importantly, however, is the "promotion of excellence in math and science." This promotion in math and science is, "One of the focuses Dr. Stacy has for a greater organization in math and the sciences," said Leisz; Stacy said if the space camp does find a home at CSUSM, it could strengthen the curriculum in both mathematics and science. " We'dbe creating an environment that is great for math and science," he said. Currently, the aerospace organiza- tion controls the curriculum of the camp that includes a number of advisors; among these advisors is former Space Shuttle astronaut Sally Ride. "There has not been any talk about the university being involved with forming the curriculum," said Leisz. "He (Stacy) has not expressed any desire to involve the university in the curriculum." In addition to the land lease, the aerospace group would also like to rent out, "in a no-conflict situation," the campus' facilities. Leisz said monies and equipment have been donated by a number of aerospace related firms that includes Convair andRyan; nofinancialsupport is being asked of CSUSM by Leisz' committee. According to Stacy, a campus environment is conducive to the needs of a summer camp for children. Because the university will have athletic facilities, the need for one to be built from scratch to accommodate campers will be eliminated. Eventually Leisz hopes the camp will be offered on a year-round basis rath»* than exclusively during the summer. �4 PIONEER/TUESDAY,APRIL 16, 1 9 91 NW ES Newest contraceptive has good, bad points E lection B allot By now you may have heard about Cal State San Marcos' first student election ballot has one proposition, three fee measures, a president new implanted form of birth control a and 12 representative seats to vote on.

JOEL SRINOLDS The most significant adverse side effect is irregular, increased, decreased orprolonged menstruation, especially during the first year. In one study about 66 percent of women had irregular periods during the first year which decreased to 33 percent during the f ifth year. Other side effects that are similar to oral contraceptives also occur with Norplant There can also be adverse effects as a result of theprocedure and local reactions to the implants; however, these are minimal. As with many of the nation's major family planning agencies, I feel the major problem with Norplant is cost. The Norplant System will cost $350 and $ 100 to $200 f or the procedure. T he manufacturer is spending millions in promoting this method as well as training professionals in the use of this technology and the methods of implantation.

'Romantic Correctness needed At a recent happy-hour function with some of Cal State San Marcos' finest, a Mend ofmine told me her boyfriend was a jerk. "What are you still doing with him?" I asked. She didn't know» and acted embarrassed. In a different setting, another friend sought my advice in a dating matter. He was wondering if a "minor deception" was allowable in his current relationship: he dated a second girl on the sly. Finally, in a mixed group, several men guffawed when someone announced that he would not return a phone message for at least several days. He said he was avenging the woman who called because she took two weeks to telephone him. "That is so stupid," said the only lady present "Jerks never call back." Had enough? Something very sad happened between the 50s era of genderrigidity,and our current mess of mixed signals, double standards, unspoken understandings, meaningless rules, and mutual disdain. The peaceful co-existence nearly forged in the 70s crumpled in the 80s. The 90s has welcomed a new battle of the sexes. Many women think that men are jerks, and the darker male descriptions for women are unprintable. I t's time to set down the stuff of Romantic Correctness. This discussion will not entirely please either gender, but the standard of negotiation ismeaningfulcompromise.Furthermore, I readily confess that my perspective is male skewed. I encourage differing parties to write to Pioneer, Firstly, the notion of instant gender equality must be abandoned. While gaining overdue equal-pay-for-equal-work protection, the aggregate income of women still trails men at all P A V P HAMMOND PIONEER COLUMNIST levels of class. This lag in societal evolution inhibits a significant, and vital, change in dating relations: who pays. Until women are satisfied that their earned income i s truly equal, men will gain no ground in their efforts to shift a fair half of the financing burdens of dating. It is Romantically Correct, then, for a man to pay for dates. In turn, women must strengthen their will against accepting dates for purely selfish reasons. Sincere interest and genuine attraction are the only Romantically Correct motivations for accepting offers. Nothing but more resentment results when a man invests his money and time, only to discover that he was being used to " fill" a vacant Friday night. The excuse that "he asked" is subscribing to the notion that a fool should be taken for his money. Secondly, romantic involvement almost always begins with a man approaching a woman. This historical hangover of cultural tradition is still a tense situation; time has not made potential rejection any more palatable. Worse still, neither party wants to appear to be doing what they are doing, so the man makes his interest sound remote, while the woman hesitates to accept an immediate o ffer, thereby appearing indifferent Both parties assume the A proposal has been made at Palomar to completely abolish student government at the 25,000-student community college. The student proponent says that apathy is so high, that few would even realize the absence of a governing body. Last year, at Stanford University, students elected Bart Simpson as president and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as representatives. The reason, cited many, was the lack of acceptable candidates. OUR VIEWS STAFF EDITORIAL Next Monday and Tuesday, the over 630 students at Cal State San Marcos have the opportunity to vote on a new government. What Stanford and Palomar have forgotten is that which CSUSM students know too well— without an Associated Students, finding representation and airing grievances is quite difficult.

A T HOUGHT; "The President must use whatever power the Constitution does not expressly deny him." HARRY S TRUMAN It is ironic that CSUSM's greatest asset has become one its biggest sources of controversy. Certainly the 2,500-word across-the-curriculum writing requirement is at times cumbersome and stressful, but the extra effort required for its fulfillment is an insurance policy for excellence. The requirement is reflective of a new university's grand dreams and idealisms. Writing on a subject requires deeper cognitive thinking than does the process of memorization-regurgitation. Perhaps the greatest problem facing education today is that many graduates find difficulty communicating what was learned in college. When a research or critical paper is written, the student author becomes an expert on a subject that was previously an alien entity. The teacher, for at least the length of the paper, is momentarily transformed into a student who explores, in detail, an area in which he/she may be relatively unfamiliar. Hence, the required term paper becomes the matchmaker for an educationally symbiotic relationship between professor and pupil. In no Cal State University can such a relationship be found except at CSUSM. To obtain such a personal educational experience, one would have to pay tremendous sums at private institutions. Some individuals feel that a writing requirement for such subjects as mathematics or business is not necessary. To illustrate why it is important, let's examine one stereotypical fictional character. Joe Geometry is a math major at a California State university south of San Marcos. Apart from the fact that Joe is of similar species to LARRY BOISJOLIE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF those around him, he doesn't seem to fit in well with crowds. Even though he is a whiz with a slide-rule and always has a charged calculator in his hip pocket, he has trouble communicating his lifelong passion (mathematics) to others. Day after day, the hapless Joe memorizes, with uncanny ability, those equations of Algebra, Trigonometry and Calculus that are sure to land him a high-paying j ob with Hewlett-Packard someday. But, when Joe leaves the university, he is in for an uncalculated s urprise... the personal j ob interview! Expecting to be quizzed on his knowledge of mathematical formulas, Joe is thrown off by the personal questions of his hopeful employer-tobe. He is speechless with regard to other subjects that interest him. He finds that he cannot even explain what inspired such mathematical geniuses as Pythagoras and Isaac Newton to develop their sacred theories. The moral of this fable is that rote memorization is not a practical tool for building foundations of social communication. A gorilla can be taught to add two and two, but only a human can communicate the process by which the answer was arrived. If our education should be any- thing, it should be of practical use in the outside world. If Joe had only taken the time to research, study and write about what inspired his idols, then he might have been able to communicate what he had learned to his interviewer. As he stands now, Joe can easily be. replaced with a cheap desktop computer and about $1,000 in software. The greatest problem with the writing requirement at CSUSM is the exponentially increased sizes of some general education courses. Last semester, with class sizes averaging around 20, instructors could more pensively read and respond to student papers. But with some classes holding 60 students this semester, instructors are forced to read as many as 150,000 student-written words. Obviously, with such a load, many instructors will go blind and bald long before retirement permits. By staggering papers throughout the class, some instructors can ease their burdens slightly. For instance, one-half of the class could be required to turn in papers early while the other half waits until the second half of the semester. The university could also help out by offering more class sections, thereby reducing class populations. Unfortunately, such apian requires more instructors, which requires more money, which the university has trouble obtaining during current budgetary duress. It is natural and expected for students to quibble over extensive writing assignments, but the university's goal of excellence should not be compromised by those who see the requirement as a bother rather than a passport to understanding. VP search not reflective of college's goals As a member of the first graduating class of CSU, San Marcos, I expect nothing less than the very same high standards of moral character and decency when looking for an Academic Vice President that CSUSM expects of me as a student I believe that the AVP Search Committee has an obligation to each and every student that attends this university to be consistent with the philosophy behind the requirements that are asked of lis. I also believe that the AVP Search Committee has an obligation to be consistent with the Mission Statement which states that "CSU, San Marcos endorses an international perspective that addresses the global community in its distinctive social, political and economic terms. This multicultural outlook is reflected in our curriculum, extracurricular activities, international exchanges and special programs that focus on world issues and problems." I now challenge the committee to assume that very safrie "multicultural outlook" when searching for an Academic Vice President In order to graduate from this university, I am expected to take 15 units in Global Aware- YOUR VIEWS PUBLIC FORUM ness and another three units in Race, Class and Gender. The classes I have taken thus far have succeeded tremendously in culturally enriching my life. CSUSM has taught me to believe that I, as a woman, have the capacity to achieve and to make Changes. It has taught me and my friends of color that they are not inherently incapable but for decades have been historically raped and repressed. I now demand to the AVP Search Committee, "practice what you preach." Give me a new list of candidates that reflects cooperation "in a world of cultural and ethnic diversity." When I look at the top three positions overseeing this university and my education, I want to see the very same "race, gender and cultural diversity" with which I am expected to learn, respect and live. I demand consistency throughout the system — from the top down. Hence, it is my suggestion that the AVP Search Committee return to its non-traditional drawing board, take a non-traditional look into the "person" rather than simply stats on paper, and return with a non-traditional list of candidates that is truly representative of the "enlightened individuals" that represent the goals set forth by CSU, San Marcos.

The American Indian Cultural Fair, an annual event sponsored b Cal y State San Marcos and San Diego State North County, featured Indian dancers, storytellers, a face painter, arts and crafts, and foods reflecting our Native American heritage.

PIONEER/TUESDAY, APRIL 16, 1991 �Reservations reflect varied Indian tribes K ATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER As early as 40,000 years before Christ, the lands around San Marcos were already home to American Indians. Until 1540 A.D., when the exploration by the Spanish began, the Indians enjoyed free dominion over the North San Diego area. Aztec-Tanoan was the basic Indian language of the ancient tribes. Dialects formed, and today's North County Indians speak three distinctive languages: Cahuilla, Luisefio and Cupeno. These Indians dwell principally in nine reservations. Most of the reservations are in the remote foothills around Palomar Mountain. The Cahuilla Indians, also known as the Los Coyotes Band of Mission Indians, have a tribal reservation of 25,049 acres in the Warner Springs area. The reservation was established by Executive Order in 1889. Los Coyotes, the county's largest reservation, is not far away from the smallest North County Reservation, Mesa Grande. The 120-acre reservation is set among large cattle ranches between Mission Santa Ysabel and Lake Henshaw. Mission Santa Ysabel, once a satellite to Mission San Diego, still serves the Cupeflo Indian community. The old adobe mission with its small museum and old graveyard is located on the Santa Ysabel Indian Reservation off Hwy. 78. In 1893, the land around Santa Ysabel Mission was allocated to the Cupefio Indians. Additional acreage L ARRY BOISJOLIE/HONEER was added in 1926.

The dancers wore traditional Indian garb during their performances. Sacred dances were included in the repertois. Elder tells more than just nature stories legends of the elders. Even a stick or a leaf on the ground can have a message for anyone willing to listen to it. He says the ability to communicate with nature is something that all persons can possess. "You'll find, in all Native Americans, the ability to identify with the trees in songs legends and council," Rodriguez cites as an example. His stories are rich in humor and wisdom and convey moral messages about the natural world surrounding all living things. "They have humorous parts to them," says Rodriguez "but, in the beginning, they were serious. Humor developed in them." Storytelling in Rodriguez's Luisefio tribe is not a formal event. He says some stories were conveyed to him during regular, everyday events by the elders. "In my tribe the education comes from the elders and not the parents," Rodriguez says.

The land is composed of valley floor and steep mountain hillsides. West of Pauma Valley on Hwy. 76 is the Pala Reservation. In the center of the reservation is the famous San Antonio de Pala Mission. Pala Reservation covers 7,722 acres of fertile river-bottom land and rolling hills. I n the early 1900s, white ranchers forcibly removed Indians from their Warner Springs homes and repatriated them to Pala Reservation. They were warned never to return. The result is a mixed heritage of Luisefio and Cupefio Indians on the Pala Reservation. North of Pala, near the San Diego-Riverside County line, is the 4,097-acre Pechanga Reservation. This remote Luisefio Indian reservation was established in 1882 for the Pechanga Band of Mission Indians. .TOTAL DUE .Money Order A reservation statement will be scot prior to the end of the spring 1991 semester.

At Saturday's American Indian Cultural Fair, Rodriguez told a story about a sandpiper he saw on the sand while walking with his mother. As he was about to thrust a rock at the bird, his mother stopped him. According to legend, the sandpiper was scurrying around frantically to see, for one last time, the body of a great grandparent who was awaiting cremation. The animal ran around looking for the elder, but never found him. As he was about to throw a second rock at the sandpiper, he hesitated. For a moment he was affixed by the animal's stare. "For one brief moment," recounts Rodriguez, "the bird held your life in his hand. The bird gives us another chance at life." Rodriguez says that the bird had a message for him, just as all things in nature have a message for all people. When he was a child, his grandfather gave him the Indian name Hewalee, which stands for one who is aggressive or goalsetting. Rodriguez says that he has always tried to live up to that name. He feels, however, that the new generations of storytellers d on't try to live up to tradition as the older generations do. "Their stories are losing some of the tradition," he says. "They are not as sophisticated." Rodriguez says the tradition is stronger among the larger tribes than the smaller ones. As a whole, the nations of Indians are growing, he indicates. Rodriguez has been instrumental in starting American Indian Studies Programs at colleges throughout California. He points out that some institutions, like Palomar College, readily accepted the program, while others, like San Diego State University, took more time. He says the best story he can tell is about a pony-tailed man in Kansas City who gave advice to Indians about how best to survive in the United States. "He told us the first thing is to get an education," Rodriguez says. "Next, learn the system and learn it well; do your homework and keep your mouth shut when you have to. From then on I learned the system and did my homework." J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER Kazem Sangabi (left) paints a feathery design on the face of 11-year-old Matthew Evans during Sunday's fair.

For Kazem Sangabi, however, painting 30 snails isn't unusual, but he prefers to use his artistic talents painting faces. That's just what he was doing at last Saturday's American Indian Cultural Fair, sponsored by CSUSM and SDSU North County. Sangabi, 34, doesn't limit his subjects, but prefers the children at the Festival. " It's good to work with the kids," he said. " I talk with them and tell them jokes." By the time Sangabi gets a few jokes out and gets his young customer familiar with the wet paint brush running across their cheeks, he is finished. Faster than a snail's pace, he paints anything from flowers to dragons on the faces of his customers. "The flamingo and the scorpion are my favorite," he said, "but I like the eye designs the best. They have a feathery look." Even though he has a display of his perfected design for people to choose from, he does have other favorites. "Don't forget I do the Ninja Turtles too," he tells the people looking at his selections. "I do the turtles because you have to go with the fashions," he said. "I can do Bart Simpson but I don't tell anyone. I don't like that guy. H e's ugly and when I finish, he looks uglier." At the festival, Sangabi painted all ages, even a 5-month-old girl. " I've painted from 4 months to 93 years-old." Sangabi doesn't stop there. " I've painted a chimpanzee and a dog. I 've even did a face painting for Prince. "I worked with a fashion show and did some body painting for them." Sangabi said that arm paintings, looking like a tattoo, are more common than the facial art. Sangabi got started with stage make-up while learning at the University of Texas. After traveling for a while, he relocated to San Diego where he works as a freelance commercial producer. "Face painting wasn't supposed to be a j ob," he said. "But now it is." His video business and his paintings of all forms of creatures now supports him.

Some of the men and women behind the cameras for 'Blue Planet' had to learn their highly technical j obs in a matter of months.

Watching fcearthrise' front within the geodesic dome of the Space Theater's cinema evokes more than wonder and awe; at times it almost approaches visual overload. Much of the footage was taken aboard the Space Shuttle by the astronauts themselves and then enhanced by computer. The giant Omnimax screen magnifies this experience by surrounding you with sensation. In a series of breakaway vignettes, the film explores the vital forces of nature and its impact on the environment. As the Earth passes beneath us, we move from the fiery inner craters of erupting volcanos into violent electrical storms and tropical hurricanes. A computer-simulated flight through the San Andreas Fault made more than a few in the audience hold tight t o their seat arms. It feels like riding on a rocket. After exploring the more sensational interactions of nature on the surface o f the Earth, the film touches upon the more insidious impact from the growing human population.
