In the wake of the ,Mike Tyson, William Kennedy Smith and Clarence Thomas cases, men need to realize that when women say "no," they really mean no. OPINION/PAGE 7 CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS Ever since classes began at Cal State San Marcos in fall of 1990, students have expressed interest in getting involved in student organizations on campus. Now the student government has formally sanctioned campus clubs and organizations. Find out how to get involved and which clubs and organizations are currently seeking students. EXPLORE/PAGE 9 A NEW TWIST FOR BUDDY MOVIES In Hollywood, the recent trend in celluloid is die macho buddy movie. In these films male bonding runs amok and women are treated as nothing more than sex objects. With Ridley Scott's "Thelma and Louise," the buddy movie format is rewritten. Women become antiheroes that fight persecution from an insensitive, male-dominated society. See Sheila Cosgrove's view in Through the Trees.

The library's west wing will move into the Foundation Building, formerly the Green Tiger Press Building, along with Auxiliary Services. The new site is on Carmel Road, off Twin Oaks Valley Road just south of Highway 78. The permanent site of CSUSM can be seen from the building. Auxiliary Services has already moved into the building; the library's acquisitions and processing department will move during Spring Break. "We'll move into a new office and have more space, but it won't be here," said Marion Reid, library director. Currently, the temporary campus holds 20,000 volumes of books. Students can check these books out three different ways - by appointment, during scheduled browsing times or by paging - but students do not have access to the entire CSUSM collection. There are over 40,000 volumes in possession; the remaining books are packed away in boxes. Reid said the Foundation Building can hold up to 120,000 volumes at build-out Craven Hall, scheduled to open in spring of 1993, will hold 80,000 volumes. At the current rate of acquisition, the university will befilledto that capacity by 1998 or 1999, Reid said. ThehtarybuildingonthepOTiianentcampus is scheduled to begin construction in phase two, which is awaiting finances. The move may not affect the students, according to Reid. She is unsure at this point in planning if students will be able to visit the Foundation Building, and is pursuing another option. "I foresee the development of a more efficient paging system," Reid said. Paging is when a studentfindsthe needed book in the card catalog and then orders it; the book is found and taken to the library's front desk in about half a day, according to Reid. "But we needamore up-to-date card catalog," Reid said. Of the total bodes in stock, only 12,000 volumes are in the card catalog. "So the solution is to get the Automated Library System up and working," Reid said in reference to the newly acquired computerized card catalog. "It'll provide a more complete l ist" The system's mainframe is undergoing tests at the Foundation Building and staff members have completed several hours of training. "My target date is to have it running by the time the books are out of here," Reid said. Executive Vice President, Dick Rush, said the Foundation has signed afive-yearlease with "very favorable terms" from the building's owner, Jerry Macchia. Rush said Macchia, a local resident,kept the building in good condition and thus, needs little renovation. "It was all ready for us and that's a great advantage," Rush said. The Foundation can resign the lease after five years or may have the option to buy. Rush hopes that in the future someone will buy the building a donate it to the Foundation. The Foundation Building is a two-level, 11300 structure. The library will occupy the three-story warehouse on the first floor and Auxiliary Services will occupy the second floor. Women still dominate enrollment For the first time in its short history, students at Cal State San Marcos are faced with crowded parking lots, bookstore lines and impacted classes as a result of growing enrollment Yet, problems associated with impaction at CSUSM are minimal when compared to nearby San Diego State University and most of the other CSU-system schools. CSUSM is one of the three CSU schools that was not forced to reduce its enrollment this semester due to system-wide budgetary stress. As of Feb. 10, the population at the infant university grew by 144 students. The amount represents a 12 percent increase over last semester. Spring 1991 enrollment reached only 634 students. Demographically, women still comprise the majority of the students, filling 70 percent of classroom seats. The male population climbed 3 percent over last semester, but still remains far below state and national enrollment averages. The University's goal of 750 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) students was surpassed with an average of 853.86 students qualifying for FTE status. Last semester, the university was just shy of attaining its 750 FTE goal. State funding for the university is guided by the number of FTE students enrolled. CSUSM President Bill Stacy said he is pleased with the enrollmentfigures,butadds that highernumbers of students make getting classes more difficult "I think we can handle820FTEs with people Ethnicity Gender 7.7% Hispanic —y^C.

The combined number of FTE students from fall 1991 and spring 1992 float high above the university's original projections. - Even with the increased enrollment, minority representation remains low. Of the various ethnic groups represented at the university, 65 percent are white while only 1.5 percent of students are African Americans. Hispanics comprise the largest representation ofCSUSM's minority population by holding 7.7 percent of the total enrollment Only 55 students enrolled, or 4.4 percent of the population, are of Asian descent.

The university continues to top system-wide and nation-wide comparisons of minority and female representation among its faculty. Next semester, when CSUSM moves to its permanent site off Twin Oaks Valley Road, the student population is expected to climb to over 2,000. �N ews B riefs Commencement being planned Dr. Bill Stacy, Cal State San Marcos President, has confirmed that March 23 is when commencement for the first graduating seniors will be.

Thefts commonplace at university facilities L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER "Dora it appears as though there has been a possible break-in in Bldg. 800 through one of the Emergency doors. The Police have been called and I'll have a police report on Monday when you return to work" On Dec. 26 at 6:30 p.m., P ora Knoblock of Support Services received a call from the campus' Janitorial Service regarding a possible break-in on campus. When she retrieved the message at approximately 7:40 a.m. four days later, Knoblock was faced with the latest of a string of thefts occurring at the temporary f acility of Cal State San Marcos. Missing was a sophisticated sound system and stereo belonging to the College of Arts and Sciences. The equipment was valuedat about $ 4300 and was needed for a noontime concert scheduled on the first day of classes. In November, hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise was stolen from the Full Belly Deli, which shares Building 820 with the university. During the same month, another burglary was thwarted in Aztec Shops, the campus' bookstore, when an alarm system in the store frightened ¿way the perpetrators. In both incidents, burglars gained access to the rooms through the buildings' skylights. An official from the Koll Company, which manages the complex, said the skylights have been secured since the episodes to help curtail similar future incidents. But past burglaries on the campus have utilized different modes of entry than skylights and jimmied doors. On O ct 22 1990, almost $1,500 worth of merchandise was lifted from Aztec Shops. The offenders gained access into the building by breaking the shop's rear window. Stolen items included watches, calculators and Simpsons p^raphemália. A Macintosh computer and thousands of dollars in softwareremaineduntouched. Two plaster masks were taken from cabinets in the room where a fine arts class was held last semester. The masks were class projects by stum[f>®§ dents Pat Ward and Vickie Weir TTKIBIfire f or i nstructor PART ONE David Avalos. IN A SERIES Sociology P rofessor D r.. Thomas Shey said that higher rates c^^^BSett^Cnbq^ieiitly reflect troubled economic times. He said that many thefts are internal, perpetrated by individual with greater access to goods than outsiders. "On average, a lot more is stolen than is known to be stolen," Shey Said. According to Shey, thefts are instigated by members of all social classes and not just by those of lower economic status. Because of the diverse blend of students and faculty, universities are especially vulnerable targets. Campus burglaries can be máde to look like normal everyday activity since equipment is routinely shifted around by staff and students. Patricia Farris, director of Business Services, said that, because the campus is currently difficult to recognize as a university campus, the rate of theft at CSUSM could be lower than average. "It is helpful to us that we're not easily identified as a university," she said. Lieutenant Tom Schultheis, from San Diego State University's Public Safety Department, said that incidents of theft at CSUSM are low when compared to other CSU schools. He said that theft rates are contingent upon the size of campus and the economic community in which it exists. "We have a very high incidence of property crimes at SDSU," Schultheis said. "But if you look at the figures closely, rates of theft are relatively proportionate."* Since CSUSM has not yet formed a p olicing a gency of i ts o wn, Schultheis consults and aids thè campus with its theft problems. For the recent incident, Knoblock . handed the case over to Schultheis. Generally, incidents of theft on CSU campuses are handled by university police and noflócaì law enforcement agencies. Campus police forces are run by the state and have full law enforcement abilities. Schultheis said he believes the sound system theft was a "crime of convenience" orchestrated by youths. Because the campus was not staffed during the Christmas break, it was vulnerable for an unnoticed break-in. « Locks on two doors in the 800 Building were broken by strong gripping devices, like p lumber's wrenches, that could have been acquired by many people. Apart from the door on Room 101, which contained the sound system, the locks on an identical door leading to Financial Services were also broken. "Nothing leads me to believe that SEE THEFT/PAGE 4 Physical Plant to open this month Several departments will move into the first completed building on Cal State San Marcos' permanent campus Feb. 24. Mail Services, Shipping and Receiving, Warehousing, Facility Services, Environmental Health and Occupational Safety departments will set up permanently in the Physical P lant The Procurement and Accounting departments will move to the site on a temporary basis, utilizing the space reserved for the campus' future Public Safety officers. Pat Farris, director of Business Services, said the move will begin Feb. 24 with everything being moved from the temporary site, now being used to hold classes. The departments will not be operations until Feb. 26, Farris anticipates, giving the staff time to unpack. The Physical Plant is located on the north-east corner of campus., accessible from New Barham Drive. The* L-shaped building is one of five buildings in Phase I of the 300acre campus construction. Craven Hall, the six-story feature building, will be completed in November, but will not b e occupied until Spring of 1993.

Actually, throughout the month of February, all CSU campuses will celebrate a National Condom Week. This event began at UC Berkeley in the 1970s and has become a high profile educational campaign. With that and the mass media giving attention to the use ofcondoms, although blatantly not allowing advertising on the major television networks, condoms seem to be coming of age. I was pleasantly surprised'and amazed that on a Peter Jenning's special "AIDS in America," two teenage boys were allowed to role play with honest and frank discussion on the correct use of condoms, with a demonstration of application on a banana. This was major network television. Even if you think you know everything already, in this day and age there is always more to learn about sexually transmitted diseases and safer sex. Now on the horizon is the Female Condom, which very recently was approved by an advisory panel to the Food and Drag Administration (FDA). This particular female condom (there are two other versions) has already been approved in Switzerland and soon will be distributed in France and Great Britain. Hopefully, it will be available within six to 10 months in the U.S. Many experts feel the female condom is a major breakthrough since it empowers women. "Women will no longer have to negotiate with a man or be dependent on a man for protecting her," said Dr. Mervyn Silverman, president of the American Foundation for AIDS research. The female condom, about seven T HEFT CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 . the break-in was anything planned. Christmas is a time of opportunity for criminals," Schultheis said. Knoblock speculated that, because two doors were damaged, the job may have been pre-planned. "Possibly someone knew there was valuable equipment stored in that room, and vandalized both doors out of confusion as to the exact door to C ampus C alendar Open Forum Dean Rocha will present an open forum for Liberal Studies Students on Feb. 18 in the Student Lounge.

The other ring lies outside the vagina. According to the company, the polyurethane is stronger than latex while still being soft and thin; the outer ring provides broader protection since it covers genital areas not covered by a male condom. In small studies to date, the female condom has a similar pregnancy rate as other barrio* contraceptive devised and also offers excellent protection against sexually transmitted diseases. Other female devises, such as the diaphragm or cervical cap, o ffer no protection against sexually transmitted diseases. The major disadvantage of the female condom is expected to be its price. The expected cost is about $2.25 for one condom for one-time use. Most likely there will be discounts for publicly-funded clinics; however, its costs still may be prohibitive to many women and perhaps to some who would benefit the m ost It seems that patients are using condoms more frequently; however, I am distressed that a common response in the patient interview is that, " I use condoms most of the time."

But, judging from recent past experiences, any real degree of student involvement seems unlikely. Either because the campus is purely a commuteroriented facility, or duetothe fact that many students are too busy at home with families of their own, participa- OUR VIEWS STAFF Lincoln short-changed by CSUSM Four score and several years ago, our forefathers had a holiday dedicated to a man that was dedicated to the proposition that all men were created equal. Four score and several months ago that holiday was abolished and replaced with an occasion that is dedicated to the unruly proposition that all presidents were created equal. I ' m talking, ofcourse, about the demise of the holiday that was once known as Lincoln's Birthday, but is now affectionately renounced as Presidents' Day. Naturally, Lincoln's Birthday still exists, but he had the misfortune of being born in the same month as another great man, George Washington (who, like Honest Abe, once had a special place on the calendar reserved for his birth but is resigned to spend eternity as "just another one of those presidents with wooden teeth who we honor with Presidents* Day."). I surveyed seven grade-schoolers, asking them if they knew the actual day of Abraham Lincoln's birth. The overwhelming response was a resounding "I dunno," or "Who cares, we don't get out of school for i t" For those trivia buffs who can recall back just a few years to Lincoln's Birthday celebrations, it is Feb. 12. Okay, so Abe Lincoln has to share a holiday with Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carta*, Gerald Ford, Richard Nixon, Lyndon Johnson, Herbert Hoover, Grover Cleveland, Andrew Johnson e t all the rest. I can actually live with these arrangements. For that one day of the year known as Presidents' Day, I can pay homage to one of my all-time favorite dead persons. What causes my spleen to fester is Cal State San Marcos' reluctance to observe the holiday. For that day, governmental offices are closed, mail delivery ceases and .grocery clerks get paid triple time for half the work. Since I happen to have classes on the day on which Presidents' Day occurred, I was unable to work at the grocery store and earn triple pay while thanking Abe Lincoln for making it so. What I find particularly disturbing, albeit politically correct, is the fact that the CSUSM campus was completely closed on Jan. 20 for Martin Luther King's Birthday. Although I believe Martin Luther King was a great man worthy of a national holiday, I do not believe that he should be allotted a higher position in the holiday h ierarchy by CSUSM than Lincoln. By c losing t he campus' doors f or EDITOR-IN-CHIEF MartinLuther King's Birthday and keeping them open for President's Day, CSUSM demonstrated just how intoxicated it has become by the hallucinogenic term we have come to know as "political correctness." Under the doctrine of "political correctness," traditional American heroes like Lincoln are being replaced by contemporary ethnic heroes like Martin Luther King."Political correctness" affords no opportunity for the melding of old and new ideologies, rather it encourages sacrificing traditions for the new global awareness order. If CSUSM had kept its doors open during Martin Luther King's Birthday, it undoubtedly would have opened itselftoattack by factions claiming that theinstitution of higher education was supporting racism. These same factions complained when San Diego rejected a proposition to name its Convention C ento after the important African American leader, even though Martin Luther King had nothing at all to do with commerce in San Diego. Because not one of our presidents was a minority, the university was safe in keeping its doors open without factional outcry. One important note should be posted on why Presidents' Day was created in the first place. Since Martin Luther King's birthday fell so close to Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays, creating a holiday for the civil rights leader would place too many government-sanctioned holidays too close together. By forming Presidents' Day, room could be made to accommodate a holiday for Dr. King. Now King is the only person to have a federal and state holiday all to himself. Somehow that notion places Lincoln on a l ow» shelf. It is ironic that two men who so strongly championed the cause of equality can get such unequal billing on the calendar marquis. LARRY BOISJOLIE EDITORIAL tion in organizations and events on campus has been disappointing at best. For example, last semester CSUSM President Bill Stacy heldi open forums where students could share the obstacles incurred while attending the new university. Despite the fact that Stacy scheduled four separate of these meetings at different days and times to accommodate all willing students, only a handful took advantage of the opportunity to share their gripes with the president of a university. The Associated Students is always in the need of volunteers to get involved with academic committees and student affairs; yet, positions remain unfilled. As the campus population grows, student participation in A.S. elections has dropped from 35 percent to less than 17 percent. Although CSUSM's first yearbook, the Tukut, came out this spring, Editor Barbara Pender had trouble finding helperstoputthe book together. The remarkable finished product was completed by only a few dedicated students. Even the student newspaper has difficulty getting students involved. This editorial, for instance, will possibly generateagreatdeal of verbal studentresponse; however very, very few students will take a half hour of their time and share their views in letter form. Sure their are the exceptions to the dismal rule. The students who worked on the Tukut are just one example. Other students play active roles in student government and regularly write to Pioneer. Still others have formed clubs like the the Argonaut Society or SA.L.T. to share their special views. These organizations and others are designed, intentionally or not, to appeal to the special interests of students to make their college experience more enjoyable and productive. The Star Trek club, for instance, invites students to go where no one has gone before, while the soccer club asks students to physically show their competitive spirit. Hopefully the acceptance of the new clubs and organizations will inspire students to actively participate in campus events and place a piece of themselves into the foundation of CSUSM.

As of the Mike Tyson date-rape conviction, this is no long»* a joke. Rape of any type was never funny. Now, finally, date assaults may be taken more seriously. What has changed with the Tyson conviction that makes this case a bellwether? The setting and circumstance of the Tyson trial made the case against the male assaulter more credible at a time that our country had barely digested the less convincing accusations of Anita Hill (charging then Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas with sexual harassment), and **** (charging William Kennedy Smith with date rape). Anita Hill just wasn't completely buyable. On-going polls reflected American's split in their perception of her recollections. Likewise, public opinion ofMr. Thomas was dichotomatic. Particularly discrediting to Ms. Hill's case was the breadth and depth of Mr. Thomas' witnesses recounting their amicable demeanor while together. From high-powered Washington D.C. attorneys to prestigious lawprofessors, the story was consistent that she was fond of the judge, admired and respected him, and certainly closely followed in his career progressions. It seemed impossible that this many students of the law and workplace ethics - black and white, male and female - could have missed any sign of the personal torture she swore to. Ultimately, Mr. Thomas won the painfully sought seat on the land's highest bench. Probably the truth suffered the most in this Senate debacle. There is no longer value in discussing what really happened. Those emotional days are testimony to democracy's potentially wretched DAVID HAMMOND GUEST COLUMNIST side of public scrutiny of private facts in the lives of civil servants. However, the country strangely benefited. Suddenly, sexual harassment was real to everyone, instead of just its victims. Employers redoubled efforts to prevent the problem, including sensitivity training, heightened awareness, and stricter corporate policy and punishment The pain was out of the closet and the jokes got canned. In my own personal experiences, myselfand other bachelors evaluated our vocabulary and posturing with women. We weren't the bad guys before, but now we would stricdy mind our manners. Then the arrest and trial of William Kennedy Smith jarred our collective psyche again before our new correctness couldbackslide. Once again, the issues were cast by celebrity-size characters. The alleged victim became a familiar blue hue, a seeming metaphor for a loss of dignity and self. The Kennedy clan performed like a circusvargas. Central to the drama was Ted "Chapaquidick" Kennedy trying to downplay the well established stud image of his family heritage. All the stories of John F. Kennedy White House orgies resurfaced. The male Kennedy mind-set was best exemplified by the "traditional" Easter brunch discussion that weekend: did Willie really rape this girl? Unfortunately, Ms. ****'s story spurred some reasonable doubts. She left with a stranger from a single's bar. She took off her panty-hose prior to a walk on the beach. She called William, her alleged assailant, Michael. Once again, democracy's soft-side prevented a potential breach ofjustice by barring punishment without absolute certainty of criminal behavior. Unfortunately, the system's penchant for safeguards began discouraging women's faith in justice. It was easy - even rational - to be cynical. Two major cases for sexual misconduct became two brilliant examples of women's vulnerability. In the case of Mike Tyson, the pieces fell together for the prosecution. There was nodoubt that sex had occurred. Robin Givens, Tyson's ex-wife, once told national TV that Mr. Tyson resented to domestic violence to get his way. Instead of the accused being a judge, or medical student, he was an ex-con with repeat offenses. The jury believed that the victim said "No," and that Mr. Tyson forced sexual intercourse. The conviction was rape. Democracy is no easy game to play. The system constantly strains to balance justice with civil rights. Hence, the system is an act of collective faith. That is, its participants must assume that it works more often than it fails. When it does work, and it usually does, it is the greatest act of humankind in motion. Today, women may have just a little more faith in justice protecting them. D vd H m o d is a f r e C U M su e t a i a mn om r S S t d n Check out what's rolling off the presses Have you seen the new San Diego UnionTribune? Or a more recent change, have you seen the new San Diego Reader? Both newspapers have drastically changed the form of their publication and the look. Now, have you seen the new Pioneer? Yes, Pioneer is different this semester. If you can recall back to last semester, this Cal State San Marcos newspaper was twice the size as the one your holding. There was color, two sections and even a Classified Section. The reasons for our change could be paralleled to those of the larger newspapers mentioned, yet on a much smaller scale. The results are the same too. The main reason is, of course, advertising. Pioneer does not rely on CSUSM or Associated Students funding to support each issue. Instead, the editions, as well as supplies, utilities, business expenses and licenses are paid totally through advertising. Last semester, businesses were advertising within these pages because we had caught your attention with a student-oriented publication and an intercollegiate circulation. We can confirm that CSUSM students and students at five other North County colleges were reading our paper. The problem is that you're not reading the ads. This issue, read the news content and thai browse through to see the specials offered within the ads. As a teaser, the Earthquake offers 20% discounts to students and Comedy Nite offers free admissions on certain nights; Touchless Car Wash has some of the best deals inside our paper. We have your readership. Now we need your support. Don't worry, Pioneer is not going under. But if you patronize the businesses advertised here, you ensure the return or a larger, more fun-filled publication.

Pioneer reserves therightto not print submitted letters if the manuscript contains lewd or libelous comments or implications.

Since the first students were accepted at Cal State San Marcos, that phrase has been spoken often on campus. But for the first several semesters, there was no one way for students to find out how to get involved with this infant university. Now with a student government in place that is currently recognizing the first campus clubs, Pioneer presents a comprehensive list o f... ¿«ORGANIZATIONS With the social aspect of Cal State San Marcos moving along in full force, the Associated Student Council is recognizing clubs for the first time. According to A.S. President Jose Chapman, there was no method of recognizing clubs officially until this semester. ' The concept of recognizing clubs is the same as San Diego State University, but is tailored to CSUSM's needs." said Chapman. The A.S. has established an Inter-Club Council ( ICQ for relations between itself and the clubs. The ICC's primary functions are to provide information sharing, leadership development and supply information to the A.S. Council. Gezai Berhane, College of Arts and Science rep- resentative, serves as chairman of the ICC. To get an organization officially recognized the club must* • submit an application, which can be obtained from the A.S. Office; • determine bylaws to be submitted with the application; • sign a non-discrimination statement, and; • contact the Office of Student Affairs so an account with Accounting Services may be established. The A.S. is giving an allowance of $50 to each club for start-up purposes; however, to receive the funds, a club must have at least five active members. The ICC held its first meeting last Friday. The Compiled by KIMBERLY COURTNEY and JONATHAN YOUNG club representatives decided to meet every other week with the next meeting on Feb. 28. Each club must send a representative to the 3 p.m. meetings in the Student Lounge. Currently, the interest level among clubs has been relatively high with an average of eight to 10 members per club, according to Chapman. Some clubs even have memberships of more than 20 students. He said the ICC can assist with the formation of new clubs and encourage the need for students to get involved. "I would like to see the clubs contribute to the expansion of their awareness, tighten social bonds and help students to advance socially and academically,** Chapman said. �DISCOUNT JUR FARES AROUND THE WORLD & ACROSS THE USA!

Basil embarks on the greatest case of his career when London's master toy maker is mysteriously kidnapped and the ingenious detective smells a rat named Ratigan as the perpetrator. Employing a variety of "mousequerades" and some elementary logic, Basil pursues his rat rival from the depths of London's sewers to the dizzying heights of Big Ben's clock tower. The breathtaking climax, set against the meshing gears of the giant clock, remains one of the most complex,, innovative and exciting sequences ever attempted in animation. "The Adventures of the Great Mouse Detective" was Disney's 26th full length animated feature and, at the time of its initial release in 1986, signalled the beginning of a new period of productivity and experimentation for animation at the studio. "The Adventures of the Great Mouse Detective" was the first animated feature to go into production under the new leadership of Jeffrey Katzenberg, chairman of The Walt Disney Studios, and Roy £ . Disney, vice chairman of The Walt Disney Company. Their ongoing commitment to animation has resulted in some of Animators use computers # Computers proved to be an exciting tool for animators during the production of "The Adventure of the Great Mouse Detective" and played a larger role than ever before in the making of the Disney animated feature. The work in this film laid the groundwork for even more sophisticated applications that were to follow. For the film's dramatic climax, in which Basil confronts Ratigan in a deadly duel set against the turning and thrashing gear-works of Big Ben, the film makers combined their traditional artistry with the latest in technology to create B sl o B k r Sr e a d hs a mrn a ssa t D w o , s ac f r cu s i " h A v nue of t e Ge t M u e D t ci something new and exciting. a i f a e te t n i d ii g s i t n, a s n e r h o l e n T e d e t r s h r a o s ee tv . e' During the breathtaking twothe studio's most critically acclaimed Detective' is a great example of a from. minute sequence, characters and commercially successful efforts story that could only be told with "This was truly an animator's animated in the conventional, in recent times. animation.

Carlsbad project more like a prison than art DEBBIE PUFFY/PIONEER The ocean wavesrippleupon the sand while an orange glowfromthe setting sun reflects off the blue waters. A cool breeze brushes against the palm trees, rustling their leaves. These are the sights and sounds of a typical Southern California beach. The city of Carlsbad has decided to add a little something to their beach, a 7,500 squarefoot sculpture name "Split Pavilion." Most would assume that a sculpture only yards away from thebeachwouldbe conducivetothe environment it surrounds. However, this sculpture consists of steel bars and concrete pylons standing steadfastly, limiting most all views to the ocean. From the street, the sculpture's bars look like orderly sentries soaring to the sky, protecting the ocean from any onlooker. The concrete pylons represent large projectiles thrusting through the concrete sidewalk. There are seats for people to sit on and view the ocean, but they are shapeless, concrete blobs. Moreover, when people do sit on the seats, their views to the ocean are partially obstructed by more steel bars. While sitting anywhere within the sight of the sculpture, the viewer will be surrounded by steel bars and concrete walls and seats. Nowhere is there any parallel between the ocean and the sculpture. No soft colors, no soft materials, no diagonal lines, no curves. Every part of this sculpture juts toward the sky without bending or shaping. This is totally opposite to the beach, the ocean, the waves and die sun. There will be a fountain with water falling andrippling,creating some movement and some shape. But what need is there for a fountain with a beautiful ocean yards away? Created by New York artist, Andrea Blum, the "Split Pavilion" cost the city $338,000. The city began with a public review process for this piece in 1987. Now that the sculpture is almost done, some of the citizens of Carlsbad are dissatisfied with the way it looks; 4,000citizens of Carlsbad signed apetition wanting the sculpture to be removed. If Carlsbad wanted a piece of art to decorate its beaches, maybe it should have considered a local artist, one who might have combined the view with the sculpture instead of creating a sculpture that obstructs the view.

By now you all know the basic story. Two guys (one macho one not, or two macho but never two not macho) get together and experience that gagging spectacle known as male bonding. At the beginning of the flick the two guys hate each other, but for some reason are forced to work togetherfightingcrime. At the end of the movie both men are the best of friends. They beat up the bad guys, drink beer and denigrate women. The format began with Walter Hill's '48 Hours' starring Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte. In that film we saw Nolte drink gallons of whiskey, Murphy approach a large number of women with blatant sexual advances, Nolte and Murphy continually beating up each other through thedurationof the flick, andabsolutely no endearing female characters. Richard D onner's ' Lethal Weapon' was slightly better mostly because of Mel Gibson's buns. Yet, apart from token parts, there were really no significant female roles. SEE CALENDAR/PAGE 15 fl** TROUGH | HU f i P àflnI B P f BY S H E I L A COSGROVE Women only filled slots that made the male parts look better. Each year a forest of this worthless celluloid springs up into the fertile ground ofour movie theaters and video stores, propagating stereotypes that should have fallen with the Bobby Riggs. But through the trees one little sapling of a buddy movie might change the lode of the celluloidjungle. With 'Thelma and Louise,' director Ridley Scott creates a buddy film where women finally arise victorious from the ashes of machismo. The plot centers around two women, Thelma (Geena Davis) and Louise (Susan Sarandon), who turn to crime to compensate for male exploitation. The story begins when Louise invites Thelma to a mountain cabin for the weekend. Thelma is the victim of a marriage dominated by an insensitive louse of a husband. Louise, on the other hand, has trouble finding commitment in her long-term relationship (sound familiar?). When the two stop at a bar on the way to the mountains, the trouble begins. A local yokel tries to rape Thelma but is shot dead by a guntoting Louise. The two flee from the scene in a vintage Thunderbird and become fugitives. After all their money is stolen by yet another male slime, the women take to robbing convenience stores for cash. Again and again, Thelma and Louise are accosted by men and fight back with the vengeance of generations of suppressed women. Their bonding is not alcohol-induced, but incurred from a common thread of persecution. Davis accents her performance with a believable modicum of crazed desperation. Following her Oscarwinning performance in 'The Accidental Tourist,' she solidifies her stance as one of Hollywood's most versatile and dynamic actresses. Sarandon also exhibits a vulneratjUity not found in male-bonding flicks. Her Louise is the pillar of strength upon which the movie is built Harvey Keitel, who played the SEE THELMA/PAGE 15 TOUCHLESS CAR WASH L Beehive: Presented by the Theatre in Old Town, this rock musical from the 1960s is on stage in Old Town State Park, San Diego, through Feb. 22. 688-2494 Crimes and Reasons: This audience-participation dinner show is presented by Killer Dinner Theatre Productions and runs through April 1 at the Joyce Beers Community Center, San Diego.

We live different, we eat different, we think and dress different. Even our seasonal colors are different. When the rest of the U.S. tries to put a color name to California they usually use brown - California Brown. How very sad. Those people have never experienced what we are getting ready to witness - California Green. A special feeling emanates from California in February and it revolves around green. You know the type of green - so luminescent that your eyes squint from the reflected green glow. As I sit in my office and watch the raindrops fall I am not only thankful for the needed moisture but I know that for every drop a blade of grass will grow. I also know as soon as this storm abates that the sky will blaze blue and fill with white puffy clouds and the fields will turn to California Green. There is not a question of where I want to immerse myself in the sky, clouds, and green experience. The place is Mesa Grande. This litde visited section of San Diego, has re- Sullivan's T ravels BY K ATHY SULLIVAN mained as a reminder of what the whole county used to be, vast expanses of cattle ranches. Rolling hills, dotted with ancient Oaks, speckled with beef cattle and work horses, cut by meandering streams and intruded by chunks of granite, describe the Mesa Grande scenery. Peaceful, timeless, eternal a perfect place to experience not only California Green but nature's serenity. Mesa Grande has no claim to fame, there is absolutely nothing to do, no stores, no parks, nothing but a road cutting through cattle land, some barns that probably looked just as run down 100 years ago and dark green Oak trees framed against glowing green. To reach Mesa Grande take Highway 76 East, past Lake Henshaw, then watch for the Mesa Grande turn off. The Mesa Grande Road zigzags up through a Oak forest. Near the top of the hill pull off the road and enjoy R li g ge n hills e v l p a c u ty h u e in t e C lf r i c u ty i e oln r e n eo o nr o s h aiona o nr sd . the panoramic view ofLake Henshaw, Palomar Mountain and Warner Springs. From here to the end of the road just drive slow and enjoy all the shades of green that can happen to California in February. If you want to drive a loop, turn right at the end of Mesa Grande Road on to Highway 79. Takeafew minutes and visit Santa Ysabel Mission. Santa Ysabel and Pala Mission are two of the only California Missions still working with the Indians. At the intersection of 79 and 74 turn right towards Ramona. Almost immediately on therightis Dudley's Bakery. A quick, or if it's a weekend a not so quick stop, the bakery for some great bread will cap a beautiful drive in the California back country. �C omedy Call 488-6972 for tickets. with Cecilia Stanford and Andrea Brad Garrett: Star Search's Zuill — is featured in this EsconCommunity Theatre production Comedy Nite: Located at 2216 Grand Champion performs for two dido gallery. 741-0622 s o s through Feb. 23.
