The full use of the facilities and equipment, however, depends on a bond issue that is scheduled for the upcoming election. The five sites include: • The students will move into the Academic Core next fall, utilizing the lab complex and lecture hall for classroom space. These two buildings can accommodate 600 f ull time equivalent students, according the original projections. Currently, however, CSUSM has 853 FTE students, according to a Feb. 11 Admissions and Records report • Two other structures on campus, the featured Craven Hall and the commons building, will not be completed for the fall opening, and not equipped until spring semester of 1993; thus, the Los Vallecitos temporary campus, a site used to house all university's operations the first year- will remain open with administrative and support services. • The science facility will continue to be used this fall. This o ffeampus lab complex is located on Stone Drive, off Los Posas Drive about a mile from the Los Vallecitos campus. • The newly acquired Foundation Building, on Carmel Road east of the permanent campus, will house auxiliary services and the majority of the library collection. The building, already being occupied by some staff members, will be fully staffed by the end of Spring Break. • The fifth building will be the Facility Services Building, formerly referred to as the Physical P lant Being the first structure completed on the permanent campus, it was filled last week with several permanent and temporary departments. " It's going to be hectic at f irst There's no question about that," said Dr. Larry Cohen, founding faculty in science. Cohen, along with other campus officials, think the logistics of the multiple sites can be solved to minimize the impact on students, but a lot of the planning is based on funds the campus does not have. Dr. Richard Rush, CSUSM executive vice president, said those funds would come from a bond issue scheduled for this June's elections. The bond for educational institutions in California would generate $900 million for the UC, CSU and community college systems. CSUSM would receive $8-9 million of that, with $6.4 million slated for equipping the five sites. "The bond issue carries our equipment money," Rush said. The bond issue comes on the heels of A Cal State San Marcos employee searches for her computer as staff members set up at the Facility Service Building.

Fund-raising at its highest The 20 CSU campuses raised a record-high $96.4 million in private gifts in 1990-91, according to the annual report of voluntary support presented to the board. The nearly $97 million presented a 9 percent increase for the $88 million raised in 1989-90; 15 campuses showed an increase this past year. In a five-year span from 1986, the CSU has increased its private funding by a third, going from $61.8 million to $96.4 million. Correction Commencement for the first graduating seniors will be May 23, not March 23 as previously published in Pioneer. Thefts commonplace at construction sites L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER With the growing permanent campus construction project off Twin Oaks Valley Road, Cal State San Marcos faces a theft problem that is not shared by most other universities. The 305-acre site contains materials that are easily accessible and salvaged by would-be burglars. Because of the project's size, thieves have greater entry access to the isolated site. "It is fairly common to have construction site burglaries," said Albert Amado, vice president of Physical Planning and Campus Construction. Electrical switching gear, tools and copper wiring are among the items that have been lifted from the site in recent months. Complete electrical generators have also been taken from the location. Terry Loose, project superintendent for the Phase I Academic Core, estimated that between $10,000 and $12,000of salvageable materials have already been taken from the construction p roject Since several contractors have simultaneous projects in progress at the site, estimating the cost of losses is d ifficult Both Loose and Amado pointed out that stolen materials can be sal- vaged at only a fraction of their replacement costs. "Some of the copper wiring stolen probably represents a potential few hundred dollars in selling, but cost the contractor thousands," Amado said. Copper wiring has actually been stripped from the buildings after it was installed. Amado said that these thefts have caused considerable inconveniences but have not compromised t he p roject's t ight completion deadPART TWO line. IN A SERIES W hile t he project is under construction, replacement costs foir^ ¿ÎeÎM materials are absorbed by the contractors or their insurance companies and not by the university. Once a building is completed, the financial burden shifts to the state. Currently, only two buildings have been completed. In order to curtail thefts at the site, Ninteman, the general contractor for the Academic Core, and Bodell Construction, general contractor for Craven Hall, have agreed to jointly fund security guards for the unfinished buildings at the location. mjm "We have our own security that covers all but the working hours at the site," Loose said. Buildings that have already been completed, such as the Physical Plant and Maintenance Facility, are patrolled by state-funded security. Amado said that since security agencies began patrolling in November, he hasn't heard of any on-site thefts. Jerry Brooks, a local landscaping subcontractor, said that most construction projects he has worked with experience some degree of theft. Copper wiring, said Brooks, is the most easily lifted item from sites. He said larger items, such as tractors and heavy moving equipment, are seldom stolen. For the most part, thieves grab what is most accessible and easily loaded into pick-up trucks. Brooks said that most arrested construction site burglars are either transients or those of lower income status. The typical construction-site thief looks only for items that will bring a few dollars in material value. Copperfromwiring, f or instance, can be melted down and pawned easily. "The recession is not necessarily to blame for these kinds of thefts," Loose said. "Construction-site thefts are just something to be expected." Yearbook seeking sponsors for club pages JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER In an attempt to obtain funding for the second edition of Tukut, the yearbook staff is seeking businesses to sponsor certain pages in the annual. "The clubs and organizations that are now appearing on campus will have the opportunity to chose businesses and organizations to sponsor their page in the yearbook," reads the proposal. The sponsorship, per page, would cost businesses $600. Members of the yearbook staff approached the campus clubs at Friday's Inter Club Council meeting asking for a list of business references the clubs would like to sponsor their page. The staff is asking for references so Tukut w on't " step on anyone's toes." "There are some clubs and corporations that are appropriate matches," said Barbara Pender, Tukut editor. The requested references assure the matched business is acceptable to the clubs. "This gives them (the clubs) an opportunity to have their voice in it," said Karen Whitfield, a Tukut sales member. The cost to businesses would be $600 per club, a non-negotiable price. That price would pay for the one page as well as offset the price of other sections within the yearbook. Pender said Tukut "went in the hole" with the first yearbook edition. The books, costing $44 to produce, sold for $25 last semester and are currently on sale in the bookstore for $35. "This is just one way to go after one avenue of money," Whitfield said. " It's just making it more school specific." "We're just trying to create some ^ideas to offset the $14,000," said Pender. She said $14,000 is needed to produce this year's annual and still keep the cost to the students at the same price. "The university still wants to sell it at $25," Pender said. The clubs are not responsible for obtaining their own sponsors, just supplying a list of three references. The deadline for the list is March 6. "If a club does get sponsor, then they 're guaranteed a full page," Whitfield said. If the club does not have a sponsor, then "we cannot guarantee them a full page," she said. " I can't make assurance one way or the other. There'sno possible way," Whitfield said. There is a possibility that all clubs will have full pages, regardless of sponsors. That fact depends on the number of clubs, size of the yearbook, other possible funding and several other variables. Regardless of sponsors or space, SEE T UKUT /PAGE 4 �4 PIONEER/TUESDAY, MARCH 3,1992 NEWS Fee increase won't affect aid students Despite a proposed 40 percent increase in tuition next year at Cal State San Marcos, students in need of financial assistance for university fees can still find funding for their education. According to Paul Phillips, director of Financial Aid at CSUSM, needy students can still get full funding for their education at the university, despite the proposed 40 percent increase in tuition. "The Chancellor insisted that money be set aside for financial aid (should a fee increase be implemented)," Phillips said. "Dollar for dollar it would be the same as the fee increase." Phillips estimated that about 300 students currently attending CSUSM receive some sort of financial aid. Around 50 of those are getting scholarships, 258 currently receive State University Grants, while 130 are accruing money from the Stafford Loan. Phillips said students frequently utilize one or more of these financial sources to fund their education. "I hope no student makes the decision that he/shecan't attend CSUSM with the fee increase," Phillips said. "In the worst case students can get pretty good loans with low interest fates from banks." Phillips said there is still uncertainty as to whether or not the fee will be implemented. Some legislators expressed opposition to the proposal after student lobbying groups rallied at the state capital. CSU Chancellor Barry Munitz, however, is encouraging the legislature to pass the increase. The tuition increase would make more classes available for students with impacted programs. The CSU needs legislative approval for any fee increase exceeding 10 percent. T UKUT CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 Pender said all clubs will be represented in Tukut. "Everybody is going to be in the book," Pender said. "There is no way weare going to put out abook without everyone in it." In addition to club sponsors, the Associated Students, Pioneer and the Tukut itself will seek sponsors for their pages. Pender said these groups will probably have two pages each.

In fact, it seems to be increasing in its incidence, Asthma,5 which is characterized by episodes of breathlessness and wheezing, is estimated to affect one in 20 Americans and one in 10 children. The alarming news is that deaths, although rare, have doubled in recent years. A recent study in the prestigious 'New England Journal of Medicine ' attempts to determine if commonly prescribed asthma medications may contribute to this increase risk of fatal or near-fatal episodes of asthma. The study found that the more heavily a person relied on certain inhaled medications the greater theriskof their dying of asthma or of suffering a near-fatal episode. I feel the necessity to write about this study because I frequently prescribe these medications and I have already had a few patients using these medications ask me is their continued use is safe. As in most areas of medicine nothing is black or white. First of all, one of the medications in this study is not used in the United States and is the medication that .was associated with the greatest risk. i lMiJj .

Finally, it is based on data from health insurance files in Canada not on examination of patients. Enough of the science.

If their asthma worsens the natural response is to use their inhalers more often, rather than seek attention to treat the underlying condition which is making their wheezing worse. Most experts agrees that when used as prescribed, these are safe, medications. If using to the prescribed amount doesn't control the episode, then other medications and treatment is necessary. Patients cannot always rely solely of either Proventil of Ventolin. However, if this study and its results cause patients to stop using these medications, they could get into serious trouble. I feel the facts are clear. Inhaled medications like Proventil or Ventolin are $afe whpn used in the prescribed amount, but if that doesn't control the problem,patients need to seek appropriate medical attention. If you have concerns or questions regarding this and need to be further informed about your are for asthma, see your health care provider or Student Health Services.

A half year later the campus is still without a method for gathering waste products that can be reused rather than dumped in local overflowing landfills. In a university which hopes to build a sense of awareness on a global level, the lack of campus bins for recyclables is deplorable. O UR V IEWS STAFF Unspayed cat holds owner captive For the past few months I had been meaning to spay the stupid c at Unfortunately, due to baby blues, breaking news and school dues I had placed the task far down on my list of priorities. Last Tuesday night I paid the price. Upon arriving home from work at midnight I discovered, much to my dismay, that I had been locked out of my house. Inside my wife slept in undisturbed slumber as I pounded frantically on the door. I phoned several times hoping to wake her, but the ringer had been switched off. I settled down at the top of the stairs with the hopes that soon my wife would awaken, notice my absence, listen to the pleading phone messages and open the door for me, when suddenly the cat appeared at the bottom of the stairs. Usually the animal possesses a quiet demeanor of domestication and seldom likes to prowl the grounds at night. But tonight it roamed like a howling tiling possessed. At once I realized the gravity of the situation. The cat was in heat I envisioned a hoard of gobbling, pooping, clawing kittens overrunning my happy home leaving in their wake a tattered trail of torn carpet and hairballs. I looked out into the apartment grounds and, to my horror, spied every male cat within a ten mile radius courting my feminine feline. With lightening speed I darted down the stairs, catching the cat before she was violated. I carried the mewling thing up the stairs and used my body as a shield between her and the desperate mob of males. For the next four and a half hours I was a prisoner. The cat sat on its haunches unblinking, ready to pounce on the first opportunity to slip by my guard. My original plan entailed the vigorousritualof beating on the door with the hopes that I could possibly awaken the sleeping spouse, however the cat positioned herselffirmlyon the doorstep. I knew that any move toward the door would afford the animal the opportunity of escape. So I s at L ARRY B OISJOLIE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF When 2 a .m. rolled around I was panged with desperate hunger. The reptilian core of my brain began to overtake my consciousness. "Eat the cat," it urged. "Beat it on the head with your coffee mug and cook it with your cigarette lighter." I licked my chops and the cat settled down in fear. By 3 a.iti. the hoard of feline suitors down below had reached epic numbers, calling out in multiphonic cacophony. My toes began to freeze solid from the cool night air and a lack of movement. The reptilian brain had a remedy for the situation. "Kill the cat," it said. "Beat it over the head with your coffee mug and make fur booties out of it." When 4 a.m. arrived several of the suitors felt it advantageous to creep up the stairs toward awaiting romance. I threw the coffee mug at them hoping to scare the hoard away. The ploy worked for about 30 minutes. At 4:30 a.m. I knew I was beaten. My feet had frozen solid. The numbing coldness filled my entire body. I felt I would die if I did not move. Suddenly the prospect of a score of pouncing kittens seemed acceptable. I clambered to my feet and shuffled down the stairs. The cat sprang with lightening speed past me into the yard. I walked about ten feet from the bottom of the stairs when my front door opened. The next day I unhesitatingly brought the cat in to be spayed. The veterinarian gave me a brief lecture on waiting so long to get the animal fixed. Hundreds upon thousands of unwanted animals are born each year to domestic animals that have not been fixed, he said. I knew that all too well*. The night before they were all in my yard.

' The plan is to make the system user-friendly," said chair of the Recycling Committee Steffanie Taylor. The A.S., due to limited space, had trouble deciding What type of containers to use for recycling. Cardboard boxes are unsightly while plastic receptacles are stolen too frequently. But after six months with still no recycling program, who really cares what type of bins are used. All that matters is that they are in place. Whether a recycling bin is constructed of paper or plastic does not affect its user-friendliness. Californians are now almost habitual recyclers when it is convenient. Recent statistics indicate that Californians recycle 70 percent of their aluminum and glass receptacles. One major retailer in Escondidofillstwo boxes each day with cans used by its employees. It doesn't need fancy plastic or aesthetically appealing receptacles to encourage recycling. It simply asks its employees to take the boxes to a local recycling center. The employees gladly take the cans to the center and pocket the money received from them. With the growing numbers of clubs and organizations on campus, such a tactic is a viable one. Each week a different organization can shoulder the responsibility of bringing recyclables to a recycling center. The organization that does so will then have a sizable amount of change to use for its cause. In California, one soda pop can or bottle yields two cents. If each student and staff member were to toss one soda can in a bin each day, the yield for the recycler would amount to $24. One week of recycling would yield almost $100. Most students at CSUSM are eager to participate in a recycling program if one exists. The users are already friendly if given the chance. If a viable recycling program does not commence, then CSUSM will appear to be encouraging community apathy. Students should urge members of the A.S. Council to place recycling bins of any kind in convenient locations in each building of campus If the bins happen to be an eyesore, just remember how unsightly a stuffed landfill can be. �The Free Beach Act seeks to abolish discriminatory coastal parking fees PIONEER Cal State San Marcos San Marcos, CA 92096 (619) 752-4998 Editor-in-Chief Larry Boisjolie Graphics Director Jonathan Young Advertising Director: Karen Whitfield Entertainment Editor: Debbie Duffy Photo Editor: Kathy Sullivan STAFF WRITERS: Sheila Cosgrove, Kimberly Courtney, David Hatch, Elaine Whaley CONTRIBUTORS: Richard Beeth, Ken Baurmeister, Dr. JoelGrinolds, Regina John PHOTOGRAPHY: Stacey Smith CARTOONIST: Daniel Hernandez Copyright © 1992, by P IONEER.

With this opening line from Herman Melville's "Moby Dick," I embarked on the thrilling sea adventure of finding the California Grey Whale. With their immense size, grace and power, sighting a whale on the open sea seemed like the opportunity for genuine adventure. I arrived at Helgren's Sport Fishing in Oceanside to begin my trek. The boat, a 60-foot charter with the name Oceanside 95, lay in waiting at its mooring. Also in waiting were about a gazillion fourth graders from a Fallbrook elementary school. Suddenly the prospect of adventure dimmed. We boarded the boat and putted off toward the open sea, and hopefully a pod or two of whales. Through March, about 20,000 California Grey Whales migrate from the Bering Sea to Baja California to calf their young. After they give birth the whales then head north again on approximately the same route. Whale-watchers by the thousands spend $10 per person for an opportunity to spy the leviathans en-route to their destination. We came upon a buoy crowded with Sea Lions. The animals, which look like large seals, are deceivingly innocent looking. Sea Lions have dangerously sharp teeth and do not especially like to be bothered. The male Sea Lions take 5060 mates and generally travel in harems. After about 20 minutes of heading out toward sea, our boat came upon a school of porpoises. Porpoises are actually small toothed whales which travel m large schools along the coast searching for food. The young porpoises are sheltered in the middle of the school for protective purposes.

They range in size from the Harbor Porpoise, at 6 feet and 160 pounds, to the Blue Whales, the largest animal that has ever lived, at over 100 feet and 100plus tons. Although whales live in the water, they are very different from fish. Generally, whales are larger, have horizontal tails that move up and down when they swim, and are mammals. At one time their ancestors probably lived on land, and some 65 million years ago, began to return to the water. While on land, they evolved into animals similar to man in I many ways. The whale has lungs instead of gills and must surface to breathe; the young are born live and are nursed by milk that is at least 40 percent butterfat (compared to 2 percent for humans), at the rate of about 200 Two school kids use binoculars to aid glasses in a single squirt. Cetaceans are divided into two groups - the toothed whales, or Odontoceti, which feed primarily on squid and fish and include the Sperm Whale and all dolphins and porpoises: and the baleen whales, or Mysticeti called whalebone, consists of fringed, homy plates hanging from the upper jaw.

Through the end of April, the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla presents Spike and Mike's Festival of Animation. The 16 shows tell stories through clay, computers or the standard pen and pencil that could not have been told as well through conventional filmmaking.

R oma's Pizzeria and Deli at 825 Williamston, in Vista, perfectly creates such an atmosphere. Owned by Rose and Jim Riley for almost 12 years, Roma's has become a landmark, a "town gathering area," in Vista. Everyone who is anyone in North County comes to Roma's and "everyone knows everyone." Some regular patrons have even placed their own nameplates firmly within their favorite booths because they frequent the restaurant so often. Other regulars, as soon as they enter the pizzeria, obtain immediate service because the restaurant personnel knows exactly what they will order. One customer orders spaghetti so often, that he has been affectionately nicknamed "the spaghetti man." Cindy Chovitz, the daughter of the owners, works as the waitress and general conversationalist in the restaurant. She puts in about 30 hours at R oma's each week because she loves being there. Chovitz is also a student in Cal ©OLLEGIATE (QjOUBMET BY D E B B I E DUFFY State San Marcos' credential program. One of Roma's regular customers is a principal at alocal school, and Chovitz didn't know it until she began talking to him about the credential program. For her, Roma's presents an opportunity to network in her future j ob market. Chovitz says that Roma's "is like Cheers" because people feel comfortable at the pizzeria; they "hop from table to table to talk to each other." People from all walks of life visit Roma's because, for them, the restaurant is like one big happy family. The food is superb enough to entice the customers back again and again to the restaurant. The menu ranges from spaghetti, to lasagne, to ravioli, to tortellini. Customers can order either a dinner (complete with soup or salad and garlic bread) or ala carte (also with garlic bread). Meals range from $5 to $9, while ala carte prices range from $4 to $8. The pizzas can be ordered with a multitude of toppings in sizes small ($5.60 to $9.25), medium ($6.6- to $11.50), and large ($8.60 to $13). There is a children's menu, daily specials and hot or cold deli sandwiches. The spaghetti and meatballs, a personal favorite, is cooked to perfection and is amply ladled with delectable sauce and hearty meatballs. At $4.75, it is a belly-busting meal deal. For the same ¡»ice, ravioli can b e substituted for meatballs. The tiny meat-stuffed pockets ofpastaperfectly compliment the spaghetti. The pizza combinations are remarkably savory. The thin-crusted favorite is ladled with tangy sauce, piled with palatable ingredients, and smothered with an abundance of cheese. R oma's has found its own little corner of pizza heaven. Overall, the atmosphere at R oma's will pull you in, but the food will keep you coming back for more. Debbie Duffy is Entertainment Editor for Pioneer.

Icouldn'tactually seea whale j ust a blow spout of water now and then, but I knew its exact location from the ring of boats that encircled the whale like a giant target. Even though I am a native of California, that was the first time I had ever driven out to the Point Loma Peninsula. On one hand, it is nice to have discovered something so beautiful in an area where I have lived for over 40 years, but on the other hand it seems sad that I deprived myself of this experience for so long. The Santa Ana conditions we have experienced this week not only provided a great excuse for a return visit they were absolutely perfect for enjoying the panoramic views. I particularly like the view from the Visitor Center and the Cabrillo Monument Perched on top of a ridge, both areas look over the harbor using downtown San Diego as a backdrop. One can normally see navy ships, bulging cargo barges, jets landing at Lindberg field, and delicate sailing ships zig-zagging through the bay. Besides the views the Visitor Center has films, historical and environmental displays and a superb bookstore. lean spendhours browsing through their collection of books, encompassing subjects dealing with the history, animals, fish, flora and scenery of San Diego and California.

On the subject of negative, this year's tribute to computer animation is depressing. Although the four films were created beautifully, the stories are bland, boring and lack viewer appeal. 'Garbage' saves the group with its political statements. 'La Pista' can also be trashed. This Italian feature is difficult to understand, has annoying sound and strains the eyes to watch i t The good part of this film is that it's short.
