The program recently received a $1.1 million federal grant from the Department of Education. The grant, which makes up 95 percent of Upward Bound's budget, funds the program for another five years (1995-2000). An orientation for current participants and students interested in the program was held Sept 30. The grant proposal was among the top two percent in the country, receiving 114.7 points out of a possible 115. Because of the high score, it serves as a model program. T he grant reflects the quality of CSUSM's Upward Bound program and the university's ability to compete nationally for federal funds. It also demonstrates CSUSM's commitment to sharing education with all people of the North County community,'' said Dr. Bill Stacy, university president Upward Bound is part of the TRIO programs which were designed by Congress in the 1960s to provide access to a college education for low-income, firstgeneration college-bound and college-going students. "CSUSM's Upward Bound is an excellent example of the results these programs produce. The proof is in the graduation rates of our students," said Calvin One Deer Gavin, director of the university'sTRIO programs. "Upward Bound serves 8 local high schools. There have been 15 local area graduates, all have now gone on to college." The program began three years ago. Joy Moore, a graduate of Rancho Buena Vista High School and Upward Bound, now attends CSUSM. "Upward Bound provided me with the opportunity to make a solid connection with campus life and personal skills to achieve excellence as a better communicator with all people," she explained. Through its training, tutoring and counseling, Upward Bound helps students who otherwise would probably not consider pursuing a college education, prepare for university study. Upward Bound offers tutoring, collegefieldtrips, cultural activities, multicultural understanding, personal and family counseling, supplemental instruction, peer mentoring, college classes, lead- Dan Nadir/Pride File Photo Calvin One Deer Gavin, director of Cal State San Marcos TRIO programs, speaks to a crowd in the Dome last fall. ership conferences and more. Through the many academic and personal experiences,fromninth grade to 12th grade, Upward Bound helps studentsfinddirection, focus on academics in high school, and ultimately graduate from college. Upward Bound program serves 50 high school students from eight North County high schools: Rancho Buena Vista; Oceanside; El Camino; Fallbrook; Escondido; San Pasqual; Orange Glen; and, San Marcos. The program is now in the process of recruiting new participants. Students must be from one of the eight high schools served by the program and in either the ninth or 10th grade.

Either of these proposals passing would be grim tidings for CSUSM where a large amount of students recieve pel grants and direct loans. Furthermore, direct loans replaced lender loans exclusively for the first time this year. It would cause afair amount of administrative hasssle to switch back. "We'd go back only if we were forced to," said Hatten. The Associated Students has been busy getting petitions signed for congressmen Randy Cunningham (R-San Diego) and Ron Packard (R-Oceanside) urging them to "support continued funding for college loan and stu- dent aid programs (i.e. Federal student aid) ." Roughly 75 people called their congressmen on Sept. 12-13, according to AS President Charles Ragland. "We'd like to see more grant money not loans," said Ragland. Federal financial aid threatened by Congressional ax By Tony Barton News Editor Students may be seing a change in the way their federal financial aid is handled if measures being prepared by Congress are instituted. Items such as student loans and grants would be among those affected in a $2.6 billion appropriations cut proposed by members of Congress. "At this point the House and the Senate have their own writeups," said Financial Aid Counselor Gerrie Hatten. aBoth are bad. The House (of representatives') is worse."

See page 5. til six months after they graduate, is one item on Congress' change list Limitations on or removal of the interest subsidies on stipend loans are being considered. The House of Representatives has also proposed a dismantling of the direct loan program, the program which serves Cal State San Marcos students. Loans would be directed back through the Federal Family Educational Loan Program (FFELP), a lender loan program which utilizes over 200 lenders and over 20 guarantee agencies. According to Hatten, this service would require some students to keep three or four contacts for the same loan. The current direct loan program is run directly through the government, requires only one contact, and is "easier to manage ." The Senate has not proposed cutting the direct plan, but has talked about cutbacks to the program. "Mywish is that those schools who wish to be in the direct loan program canbe in it," said Financial Aid Director Paul Phillips. Congress has also proposed raising the standards on students eligible for federal grant aid. Under the plan, students recieving $600 or less under a pel grant Financial Aid offers a computerized scholarship search service, called Fund Finder. Free to CSUSM students, it is available Monday-Thursdayfrom 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Fridays from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Several posted scholarship opportunities have Oct. 12 deadlines.

Briggs, along with Program Specialist and CSUSM student Gina Forsythe who is helping to oversee student recruitment, are trying to get students and campus clubs to participate. Their goal is to get 300-plus volunteers in on the action. While initial recruitment has been slow, "it is starting to pick up. More students are coming by and asking about involvement," Forsythe said. Each group will be placed with a community agency in the North County area, such as the Boys and Girls Clubs of Carlsbad and Escondido, the Elizabeth Hospice in Escondido and St. Vincent de Paul Village. Groups and individuals who wish to participate should contact Briggs or Forsythe in the Learning Resource Center, Craven Hall 5318. Sign-ups will be accepted until mid-October.

He described how he believed the government and pharmaceutical firms are making money off this unproven theory and treating AIDS victims with a drug that kills them faster than the disease itself. "A lot of people who have died of AIDS have actually died of AZT," he said. "It's a poison," originally developed as a chemotherapy treatment for cancer. a AZT kills all the cells it gets into eventually." While he disagrees with the established view of how AIDS develops, Mullis said he has his own theory. "Everybody's met one or two people who died of AIDS," he continued, "but they each died differently. In fact, the 'thing' AIDS isn't a 'thing* at all. I f s a whole lot of people sick at the same time with different things." Mullis described a kind of "viral overload," where people infected with AIDS have acquired it because of an overexposure to too many otherwise harmless viruses all at the same time. Individually, these viruses are not harmful to the immune system, but collectively they cause its degradation. HIV is just one of these many viruses, he said. "What happens when you get 10,000 times the exposure to viruses totally harmless by themselves, all at the same time?" he asked. "The immune system would start to do funny tilings. And to kill people with the use of a drug that does little and kills people, i f s criminal." He added that the conventional development of an AIDS vaccine will not work based on this theory. Despite his disagreement with currently-accepted theory, Mullis said he was open to it provided he sees the scientific proof. "If somebody came out with a study that said HIV causes AIDS I would say 'good,' because I'm tired of this." Mullis moved his presentation from the realm of the inner body to outer space. He talked about an alleged cover-up on the part of NASA and the government to hide the facts about monuments on Mars. "What was our space program developed for?Tocollect rocks?" he asked the audience. He explained how, in 1978, NASA's Voyager snapped photos of what appeared to be a face and several nearby structures on the planet's surface at the region called Cydonia. While the press at that time was told that subsequent photographs six hours later showed nothing there, he explained, NASA never took such photographs because the Martian night had set in. Three-dimensional computer enhancement of the known photographs shows that there is indeed a face, he said, "Like Mt. Rushmore but better art" Fifteen years later, when NASA planned to take photos of the same region, he said, the cameras on board the space craft conveniently malfunctioned. Mullis said that the discovery of thefaceand other structures such as pyramids are exactly what we want the space program to find, explaining the ridiculousness of sending a small land-based machine to look for ATP when right beside it is a pyramid and a face. He told the audience that the Internet is a blessing because information is so accessible about issues such as this. "Those pictures, fortunately, due to the internet, are noteasy to suppress," Mullis said. After his main lecture, Mullis answered questionsfromthe audience. Continuing on the theme of government eover-ups of alien life, one audience member asked Mullis if he believed there was a cover:up with regard to the topsecret "Area 51" military base in Nevada, which some claim houses alien bodies and space craft. "They say they're alien bodies stored out there. I think Jimmy Hoffa's out there," he responded. Another audience member asked Mullis to talk about his experimentation with LSD. Mullis told the audience that, while it improved his thought processes and opened his mind to new ways of thinking, the drug is not for everyone. "For some i fs good. For some i f s bad," he said. "Butto not know about it and find out about it is stupid." Mullis noted that although LSD was legitimately tested by scientists for its good purposes, "It was a typical response by human nature to (suppress) something new and unknown," thus leading to its being made illegal. Campus dignitaries and the press were invited to a personal reception with Mullis after the lecture in university President Dr. Bill Stacy's conference room. Fall semester marks ELM deadline The deadline is approaching for students to take care of the Entry Level Mathematics (ELM) requirement, announced Cal State San Marcos Test Coordinator Susan Buck.

To say that "Southpaw Grammar" is his greatest album wouldn't be fair since Morrissey has never ever released anything less than brilliant, but "Southpaw Grammar* has a style apart from any of his past works—just as all Morrissey albums are unique. The mellow and smooth sounds of his last album, "Vauxhall And I," have been replaced with harder and more prominent guitars and percussion while the voice steps back slightly from the forefront leaving the music to take more control. The opening track, "The Teachers Are Afraid Of The Pupils," clocks in at 11:19 minutes, making it the longest Morrissey song ever released. Despite its length, however, there is not a dull second in the song. I fs a haunting tale of a teacher who lives under the strain of threats and harassment from his students and their parents, "Say the wrong words to our children and well have you/Ifs never too late to have you!" It reminds me of those court trials where school teachers were being wrongly accused of child molestation. "To be finished would be a relief" is the driving line of the song, but thankfully that is not the case for the album as we are next treated to another masterpiece, "Reader Meet Author". This song is a blast against authors who are ignorant to their readers' hardshipped working _ class lives, "And the year 2000 won't change anyone here/As each fabled promise flies so fast you'd swear it was never there/ Oh have you ever escapedfroma shipwrecked life?" The song concludes by accusing the writer of lying. The next track is the radioonly US single as well as the second UK single (releasedateSept 25) "The Boy Racer," a fanciful James Dean-esque song about a good-looking young man who speeds without getting pulled over, has too many girlfriends and thinks he's got the whole world in his hands when he stands at the urinal. Morrissey seems to be almost envious of the carefree dangerdefyinglifestyleoftheboy racer, "Have you seen him go though ohhh/Boy Racer ohhh/ We're gonna kill this pretty thing/ He's just too good looking." The next track, "The Operation," is introduced by a lengthy drum solo. The song never explains what kind of operation was performed on the patient, but the person apparently got a new demeanor Out of it, "Y6u say pleasant things when there is no need to/Everyone I know is sick to the back teeth of you." I fs not the happiest of Morrissey songs, but i f s still a lively and exciting number. The next track is "Dagenham Dave," thefirstUnited Kingdom single which itself is a must find because it boasts one of Morrissey's best b-sides to date. "Nobody Loves Us," is a moving exploration of the attitudes of Reprise Records/Photo Courtesy neglected children and how they are negatively viewed by society. The other b-side, "You Must Please Remember," is another good reason to get the import single. I fs a sad tale of being haunted by painful memories while at the same time others are opting for repression. "Dagenham Dave" is a whimsical sing- HEIDI'S F ROGEN Y OZURT I CE C REAM 8 Flavors Everyday 20 Flavors Everyday Great Specials for Students No& Sntaff Only! with i.d.

The chorus is just a repeat of "Dagenham Dave" over and over until the fascination with this ordinary boy hits it's final line, "I could say more, but you get the general idea." Then we are given the gift of one of Morrissey greatesttalents, lyrical sensitivity. I fs a caring, outreachingpleato "Just Do Your Best and Don't Worry," a song directed to the overly self-critical, "With your standards so high and your spirits so low/At least remember this is you on a bad day/You on a pale day/Just do your best and ohhh/Don't worry ohhh/The way you hang yourself is oh so unfair." The next song, "Best Friend On The Payroll," is about a live-in right hand assistant who's welcome has worn out, which leads us to the final track, "Southpaw." This song is the only one I didn't really like, but that was only because after the singing ended, the boring music just droned on. This album is a brilliant work of art despite i fs one minor downfall for me. I highly recommend it to anyone with taste for catchy songs with meaningful lyrics. �Clinton Think over how my balanced years.
