The participants learned how to teach entrepreneurs and how to develop the real skills for managing effectively. They visited with COBAfaculty where they will learned about unique, hands-on, educational programs and reviewed computer technology applications at CSUSM. The participants arefromthe Morozov Project and their visit here was coordinated through the Foundation for Enterprise Development of La Jolla. The goal of the three-year-old initiative is to train a critical mass of entrepreneurs and business leaders in Russia who will promote democratic change by creating jobs and business in a free market. A network of 35 Business Training Centers (BTCs) has been established in various Russian regions. The group visiting CSUSM consists of 30 trainers from these BTCs. They will use the information gained during the visit to teach clients at their respective BTCs when they go back to Russia. The Morozov Project is a Russian national project, actively supported by the US Agency for International Development, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and a group of researchers and specialists from the West. This particular program is part of the Academy of Management and the Market of the Morozov Project. The Foundation for Enterprise Development provides practical information and assistance to help companies implement equity-based compensation and strategies for involving employees in improving business operations. First Thedinga scholarships awarded tofive freshmen The first five Ella J. Thedinga scholarships were awarded to five recipients recently. • The scholarships are the result of an endowment given to the university last year by Thedinga, a retired educator. The five recipients are all incoming freshmen from local schools, and each received $2,000. Recipients are Catalina Angelesfrom Oceanside High School, Ryan DravesfromRancho Buena Vista High School, Rebekah Jones from Fallbrook High School, Amanda Kruso from Ramona High School and Jarrette Torcedo from Carlsbad High School. When the endowment is fully funded, the expected number of scholarships per year is expected to reach 20, in perpetuity. Thedinga, a Rancho Bernardo resident, established the endowment last December.

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

Call Joyce at 750-4998 �History in the making David Taylor/Staff Photographer A breath of fresh air DITORIAL Students have, once again, made history at Cal State San Marcos. This fall, the university welcomed m 1 its f irst f reshman and sophomore classes. This accomplishment equals the importance of two other major events for the campus — the opening of the university itself in 1990 and the opening of the main campus two years later. While the importance of those milestones is undisputed, the acceptance of freshmen and sophomores holds an importance that eclipses the university's opening. A university does not exist without people. l ike the first students to attend CSUSM in 1990, and those that followed at the new campus in 1992, the freshman and sophomore classes add their own style of enthusiasm and life to the university. Their enthusiasm is unrelenting. The makeup of The Prided staff is a prime example. This newspaper has struggled to survive since 1993. Staffs have been small, if nonexistent. Not this semester. The newspaper begins its third year of publication with an unprecedented 16 staff members, the great majority of those beingfreshmen.Needless to say, they are a welcome asset. With their enthusiasm and willingness to do their best, The Pride looks forward to producing the best student publication ever for the CSUSM community. As for the rest of campus, the freshman and sophomore classes will make their mark in this institution's history by virtue of simply being here. To the classes of 1998 and 1999, welcome. We are glad you are here. <! EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Roman S. Koenig BUSINESS MANAGER Joyce Kolhe NEWS EDITOR Tony Barton ON-LINE EDITOR TyCarss FEATURE EDITOR John Loch ENTERTAINMENT EDITORS Jill Ballard, Julia McKinlay LAYOUT EDITOR ToddFederman It's not easy switching history hats. Thatmay seemlike ameaningless term, but i fs the best way to describe what 1995 has been like for me. I've always had a thing for history, especially when it comes to the schools I have attended over the years. This year, for example, marks the 50th anniversary of Palomar College, just across the freewayfromus. As past editor of that institution's student newspaper, The Telescope, and as an employee of the journalism department for almost two years (my work ended last spring), I was given the honor of being a contributing author for the school's 50th anniversary anthology. My section of the book, of course, dealt with the history of The Telescope. It took nearly the entire 1994-95 school year to compile the mountainous load of information about the paper. Along the way, I was able to come as close to living those days of the past as anyone my age can g et While it was a daunting task, it was an enjoyable one. I learned a lot about how my predecessors dealt with issues of censorship and news coverage. Most importantly, I had the opportunity to investigate in-depth how the newspaper covered the major events that shaped Palomar College into the institution it is today. Now comes the beginning of the 199596 academic year of the still-young Cal State San Marcos. I return for my final semester here as editor of The Pride, and this time my position is reversed. Instead of being the one writing about the past, I'm the one observing and recording history in the making. I've traded in one history hat for another. After nearly a year of dealing strictly with events that have already happened, I have to adjust to observing those same kinds of events happening in the now. In my academic career here, Ihave witnessed the opening of the permanent campus, the turmoil over Proposition 167 and, this year, the arrival of CSUSM's firstfreshmanand vfmanS. H JIF OENIG sophomore classes. Instead of researching history already recorded, my staff and I are recorders ourselves. What we write — the stories we cover—will no doubt be material for this university's 50th anniversary anthology. It's a position I am proud to be in. Working on Palomar's anthology has given me a new perspective aboutCSUSM. Here, students, faculty and staff are working to secure a solid future for this university. My work on the campus newspaper over the last three years has been part of that, but now I look on my work in a new way. I was never really aware before that 50 yearsfromnow my name—like many, many others on this campus — might be looked up in a heap of old documents to be resurrected as a symbol of a past long gone. Now that scares me. When I looked up the names of The Telescope's past editors, I couldn't help but wonderwhat some of them were doing today. Fortunately, many are still active members of the local journalism scene. Others faded into obscurity. No matter. The important thing is that they helped build a solid educational foundation based on excellence, and that's exactly what's happening here at this university. Perhaps thaf s the most important thing of all to remember — now and forever. Happy birthday, Palomar. Here's to your future, Cal State San Marcos. 88-Afl letter^ mti^t j^e ^gitifed by t fe author and include liis or her name, • irig addtess^! i n^^lnd ^ o n e *mmt>er* Sead letters to: ITie l ^ ^ C d qvwSaii ! te For information about^bittiission guidelines, wimmmmmmmmm- STAFF Andrew Bailey, Paul HUker, GregHoadley, Randy Torres, Carrie Tyler; Trish Nagy, David Taylor; John Wheeler Serving Cal State San Marcos since 1993 ADVISERY PANEL Tom Nolan, Erik The Pride is published every two weeks for the California State University, San Marcos community.

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

Charles Ragland President, Associated Students o Robbing Congress to pay Barney just doesn't cut the mustard anymore By Greg Hoadley Staff Writer In the current budget battles being fought in Washington DC, the Republican leadership h as decided that funding for such programs as t he Corporation for Public Broadcasting, National Endowment for the Humanities and National Endowmentfor t he Arts shall be spared with only minor in spending, after they had promised to cut such programs outright. Under the newly-proposed budget for 1996, spending on these programs will total $438 million. The Republicans blew i t The federal government h as become too big ($1.6 trillion, in fact) and really h as no business funding arts. It is a waste of money better spent elsewhere (or not spent at all), and many of t he funded arts could do quite well in a capitalist environment. Granted, $438 million is a small number when compared to the rest of the federal budget, which includes some $400 billion-plus in Social Security and $250 billionplus in defense. However, t he US government h as not balanced its budget since 1969, and $438 million is $438 million, no matter how you look at i t Arts funding should be seen for what it i s—a luxury item. Continued spending on luxury items in the face of debt is irresponsible. Period. As a college student, look at your own situation. If you are in debt, you keep what you need (food, clothing, etc.) and you toss what you only think you need (the latest Pearl Jam CD). A few months ago, I got a good laugh as I watched Congresswoman Nita Lowey (D-New York) accuse Republicans of trying to "kill Big Bird" and other arts funding as she held up a Big Bird doll for emphasis. There are two false assumptions here. One, shows like "Sesame Street" and "Barney" cannot survive without our tax dollars, and two, all the "art" generated by the NEA, NEH and CPB is worth its weight in gold. However, if Americans knew that their tax dollars were used to fund such "art" as a crucifix in a jar of urine, the infamous Robert Maplethorpe photos (too lewd to describe here), or even the distribution of $10 bills to illegal aliens (each of these projects received federal grants), they would then see that government-funded art is not just "Barney" and "Masterpiece Theatre." As you can see, much of it also goes against our societal standards of decency. Granted, t hese are the exception and not the rule. Some of this art is of high quality. This leads to my next point Some of the better material (especiallyfromPBS) would thrive in a capitalist society. For example, "Sesame Street" and "Barney" do not need any more funds to continue production. They have reaped enough profit to pay for themselves many times over. Also, channels offering programs similar to PBS, such as Nickelodeon (for children), the Discovery Channel and the Learning Channel, have done quite well on their own. The arts are important to our society. No one this side of Jesse Helms feels otherwise, but funding for it belongs in the private sector. If such art is deemed wholesome and fulfilling, it will have its financial support Just ask House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who has promised to give $10,000 of his money to public broadcasting over the next five years. �Tcrnk Three literature professors bring the west alive for the east By John Loch Feature Editor Most of us would not have a clue if someone asked us if we had caught our weekly installment of "Lost in California." We would probably respond with some confused look and try to remember the actorsfroma television show that does not exist. But to millions of subscribers to Asahi W eekly, a n ewspaper supplement in Japan, this title, along with several more, entertain readers each week and keep them coming backformore. Contributions to the supplement by Cal State San Marcos literature professors Dan McLeod, Laurel Amtower and Ken Mendoza have made them much-loved house- hold names throughout Japan. Asahi Weekly is a newspaper supplement similar to those found in Sunday newspapers here in the United States, the difference being that the Japanese must subscribe to the supplement. The publication is estimated to have the second-largest distribution in the world. Most people in Japan are fluent plan that was being developed by t he newspaper. McLeod jumped at the idea and began work on his first installment in a series of weekly serials to appear in the paper. After the unbelievable success of McLeod's first serial, it was decided that another writer was needed to help relieve his deadlines and tension. The newspa- per said they wanted a female voice, and Laurel Amtower was recruited. Her stories hit close to home with female readers and received a generous response. Shortly thereafter, Ken Mendoza was added and dazzled readers with stories of life in America's old west. Most of the readers of Asahi Weekly are seemingly fond of American culture. The stories submitted each week by the three professors keep readers coming back for more, and judging by readers' responses the authors could be around for awhile. So if you are ever in Japan, pick up a copy of Asahi Weekly. Who knows? You just might like what you read.

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