Koenig/Staff Photographer Associated Students President makes a statement last week against restrictions on student food-selling during a bake sale and voter registraion drive.. H H H O'.s.. ^O&fti: Bill1 m s ' "ss ^v-^ V- Associated Students protests food policy By Tony Barton News Editor Dancing to a joint venture In supposed violation of school policy, the Associated Students, Inc. sold food on campus to promote a voter registration drive Nov. 15. Corn dogs, cupcakes and ice cream were sold in front of Academic Hall and beverages were sold in front of the vending machines in the commons area. "Students are upset about not being able to sell food on campus to make money," said CSSA Representative Lisa Lopez. 'They've had to take fund raising off campus." Talks were already underway as to the updating of current school policy relating to the selling of food on campus prior to the AS protest The current policy is an agreement between the Foundation and Aztec Shops, the company who supplies The Dome's foodstuffs. The agreement provides the notion that other groups may not compete with Aztec Shops in the CSUSM food market. See FOOD, page 12 �Student turns misfortune into fighting chance One Cal State San Marcos student has found a way to turn misfortune into a fighting chance for life — twice. Gina Erickson of Vista was an aspiring ballerina until an accident in 1992 put Erickson in a wheelchair. Not one to give in to selfpity or to give up, she fought back and worked at her physical therapy and was determined to walk again. She also enrolled at CSUSM and channeled her energies into the Visual and Performing Arts program. Earlier this year another tragedy occurred, however. Erickson was diagnosed with reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), a side effectfromher previous injury. RSD, though it has been known since the Civil War, is still not fully understood. A painful, neurogenic disease that afflicts millions of people, RSD can be treated if detected early. In Erickson's case, it was nearlyfatal.In the last flare up, even though her heartwas healthy, RSD caused messages to be sentto heart to stop beating. Realizing the closeness of her own mortality, Erickson has started the Wings of Joy Foundation. "The only way I can make sense from all this suffering and pain, is that it gives me a chance to make a difference. Early detection is important in the successful treatment of RSD," Erickson explained. "Through the Wings of Joy Foundation, I hope to raise money to increase awareness of the disease and to educate people aboutits*symptams." T he Wings of Joy Foundation's first fundraiser is a fashion show and luncheon from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dec. 9 at LaCosta Resort and Spa. Donations are $40.

Koenig/Staff Photographer An expanded campus access road and a new bus depot are part of recent campus construction. Construction projects nearing completion By Tony Barton News Editor Surrounding construction is a reminder that Cal State San Marcos is a growing campus. Signs of construction are visible on the side of Twin Oaks Valley Road opposing CSUSM's main entrance and the area in between Barham Drive and Craven Hall. On Twin Oaks Valley Road, new Student Health Services buildings are under construction in an approximately 50,000 sq. f t lot in conjunction with Palomar/ Pomerado Health System. The Health Services offices will utilize an area of roughly 11,500 sq. f t, according to Campus Physical Planning Director Russell Decker. The buildings should be occupied in the summer of 1996. Fromtheleftoftheturnaround infrontof Craven Hall to Barham Drive, grading, tunneling and landscaping have been under way, as well as the construction of a new roadway approaching Craven HallfromBarham Drive.

Koenig Editor-in-Chief Students andfacultyhave expressed dismay this week over what they see as a case of "blaming the victim" by campus officialsafterthelate-October assault of a female student "I have to say that I ended up feelingfrustratedaboutthe whole thing," said Donna Peters, a Sociology graduate student Peters said she was concerned about two major things. First, lights in the parking lot have either been off at night and are too dim. Secondly, there should be more patrols In campus parking lots. There is a sentiment among students she s ad she talked to that itappeareditwas the victim's foultfor being assaulted since she did not use a nearby emergency phone.

Once the grading, etc. have been completed, thefirstpriority will be the creation of Building 15, a classroom and office building which will house faculty offices, classrooms and computer, foreign language, psychology and social science labs. Building 15 will lie at the top of the stairway by Craven Hall, adjacent to Academic Hall, accordingto Decker. "We're hoping to get funding at the end of the legislative session. Fundingwas recommended by (the) trustees at (their) meeting,'' said Decker. K funding is approved by the California legislature, construction would begin July of '96 with an opening of the building in fall of'98.

University, community colleges awarded for unity The Board of Trustees of the California State University and the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges recently awarded the North County's Higher Education Alliance (NCHEA) an honorable mention in its first joint award competition for multicampus cooperation between CSU and community college campuses. NCHEA, comprised of MiraCosta College, Palomar College and California State San Marcos (CSUSM), was selected as an outstanding example of cooperation and collaboration to advance the effectiveness and efficiency of the two systems. The program was recognized for its benefits to students and its efforts to make an easy transition between the community colleges and the CSU. NCHEA was founded in 1990 to promote cooperative working relationships among Palomar, MiraCosta, and CSUSM to improve educational opportunities for North San Diego County citizens. �This page is provided as a public service by The Pride, and is not responsible for its content.

Bashein, assistant professor in the College of Business Administration at Cal State San Marcos, was recently awarded a prestigious grant from the Financial Executives Research Foundation (FERF). Bashein's project, "Meeting the Controls Challenges of New InformationTech- nologies," will analyze how corporations maximize the benefits of new information technologies without increasing the control risks. Her in-depth case studies of six major corporations will address several key questions: How does the use of new information technologies change the nature of internal control? What are the best internal control practices? What are the most successful implementation strategies? Assisting Bashein on the project will be Jane B. Finley of Belmont University and M.

Faculty mentoring program going strong since 1991 If s an old idea—the helping hand, the open mind, mentors helping their proteges. But at Cal State San Marcos, it's an old idea with a significant societal spin — helping students stay in school, helping students to be graduated or move on to higher studies. CSUSM's Faculty Mentoring Program has been putting faculty and administrators together with their student "proteges" since 1991.

It may be a cliche saying, but it I P ® * ^ __ couldn't be more applicable to ^pDMV^MggtAt the students of Cal State San » * Marcos. The current confusion and regulation concerning food-selling on this campus not only needs to be addressed, it needs to be clarified and reworked to allow student organizations the ability to sell food items as part of fundraising. The Pride supports the efforts of the Associated Students and student organizations to change current policy restricting such food sales. As frivolous an issue as this may seem, it is an important one. Fundraising is the life blood of many organizations on this campus. This added money-maker is not only necessary for the survival of some clubs, it can give students more choices in the kinds of food they can buy on campus. The D ome Cafe and University Store have nothing to fear from student food vendors. The call for free enterprise may be a tired argument, b ut it is valid nonetheless. A stronger argument is that students and clubs deserve to have these options open to them as a simple part of campus life. A bake sale will not put The D ome Cafe out of business. H i e obscurity of current policy, as Student Activities Director Cheryl Evans has pointed out, harkens to a time three years ago when university food services sought to end deliveries from offcampus restaurants to people ordering on campus. O ne deli that advertised in Pioneer, The Pride's predecessor, made such a complaint That deli is n o longer in business, by the way. The policy must be clarified, i tmustbe fair and, most importantly, it must offer student organizations the right to sell food items whenever fundraising is necessary. The times are changing I read with sorrow last July about the merger of North County's two local daily newspapers. Indeed, I held much affection for both. I served as a staff writer/intern at The North County Blade-Citizen in 1991. The editor and publisher of the Times Advocate have supported the PaTomar College journalism department, my alma mater, since I was a student there. Even more so, I have fond memories of watching my grandparents read the "TA" at the breakfast table when I was a child. The newspaperwarsofthe 1980s were waged between old Citizen in Encinitas and the Coast Dispatch. T he Coast Dispatch is now known as the Encinitas Sun. The Citizen was merged with the Blade-Tribune. It was hard enough as a journalist to watch the near-closure of the Vista Press and San Marcos Courier. Now, the biggest change of all comes on Sunday, when the Blade-Citizen and the Times Advocate make their union official under the new name North County Times. The papers announced the name change Nov. 26. I didn't just fear this change for sentimental reasons. The merged paper would mean one less daily newspaper to find OMANS. §ENIG work at once I graduated from Cal State San Marcos. Yet while I have watched the merger slowly occur over the last several months, I have been impressed with the strong commitment that has been made to expand North County news coverage in a time of shrinking newspaper quality on the weekly level. The Sun has gone tabloid, along with the Vista Press and San Marcos Courier. T he News-Chronicle didn't last more than two years. Perhaps what is needed to bring serious journalism back to North County is this merger. I look forward to Sunday's debut of the North County Times, and admittedly I hope their expansion leaves some room for a student newspaper editor who will be out of work as of December. But then again, I wish the same thing at the San Diego Union-Tribune and any other newspaper that will take me. 7U Pride,feott-#w/ The Pride student newspaper now has an on-line edition available on the World Wide Web.

Here are a few suggestions for future Pride issues which are far more worthy of investigating and printing. I have overheard others discussing these topics and I have engaged in these topics myself. Please address: 1) The reasons behind scheduling almost all of the winter session classes at the exact same time so student cannot take two classes. 2) Why the Dome Cafe has no ventilation. 3) What the other clubs and groups on campus are doing and contributing. 4) More promotion of upcoming events instead of only reporting after the fact on the events we missed. 5) Timeline of the construction on campus and what added features we canlookforward to in 1996-97. 6) Finally and most importantly, how CSUSM will expand their curriculum and full-time staff to offer more classes and a wider selection of class times. I write that this is thr most important because the topic of conversation over the entire campus is nottheTKEsbutthe sparse spring class schedule. K CSUSM wants to grow and prosper, a healthy Greek system is great, a safe campus essential, but a wide class selection which rivals others in Southern California is vital.

DW Schneider Baton Rough, LA Wage peace in war of sexes This incident reminds me of a woman (or should I say girl?) who called a radio station to reprimand the DJ on the air for stating his positive attitudes about women in the work place. She was distraught over his inference of the working environment being a gender issue. Hopefully, the absurdity of this woman's complaint can go unexplained. So my advice is this: Watch and enjoy your talk shows at home, but please do not bring their negativity, insignificance or twisted views of reality into the real world. The negative energy that I see controlling and consuming people's lives everyday is a tragedy. I believe both men and women alike should expand their energy onto the more important and positive aspects of life such as work, school and family rather than on what words people use.

Whether Psychology �DORMS THEY ARE I M V P • it Kinks in system, community spirit found at student housing complex By Greg Hoadley Staff Writer When Cal State San Marcosfirstgot off the ground, enrollment was low, as should be expected for afledglinguniversity. But one big reason why enrollment quotas were notbeing met was thatthe university did not have a housing program. Since last May, housing has become one of the many services provided to students at CSUSM. Unfortunately, when one hears "student housing^ they might think "dorms, (i.e., living in a cramped space with three other people and sharing a bathroom with about 20 more)" and recoil in fear. No need to fret Dorms at CSUSM are a long way off, if ever, according to Housing Coordinator Tanis Brown, as the Cal State system no longer funds housing. Students in the program currently reside at nearby Island Apartments, thanks to a special agreement worked out between this facility iind the university. "When t he housing program got started," Brown explained, "there were certain criteria we wanted to m eet how can we set this up so it is affordable for students, maintain a stable relationship with the local community, and we wanted to find suitable apartments close to the university." The program offers many benefits to the students. They are provided with a furnished apartment, they have a choice between single or two-bedroom apartments, their utilities are paid for and living advisors, who live in the apartment complex, are also on hand. Students sign a lease for the school year, say,fromAugust 1995 to May 1996. When the semester ends, they have the option of staying in their apartment over the summer while paying on a month-by-month basis. Prices rangefrom$270 to $420 a month, depending upon whether they are a one or two Oliver Hepp/Staff Photographer Several Cal State San Marcos students live at the Islands apartment complex in San Marcos as part of the university's off-campus housing program. bedroom apartment The CSUSM housing program also offers assistance to students in the housing programs. a Some have made the adjustment (moving awayfromhome to auniversity) pretty well," Brown said. "But in student housing, there are always problems that need to be dealt with, such as roommate and landlord problems." One of the biggest problems students and landlords have is lack of communication/Brown continued. "Before signing a lease, students and landlords often don't put certain things down in writing." This includes living conditions and the manner in which households are kept While the housing program is done specifically for the benefit of the students, it is notwithout its problems. Students in the program cite some rules they consider "ridiculous," such as no pets, no overnight guests (particularly of the opposite sex) and no smoking indoors. Also, some students complain that they are housed right next to families, some with young children. Given that college students are nocturnal by nature, such a condition is a recipe for disaster, as well as complaints from the families. Tanis Brown responds to these criticisms by saying that the guidelines were set up by input from parents as well as from other campuses in the Cal State system. As far as location of student apartments, the housing department did try to place the students in a central area. As far as giving students a single building of apartments justfor them,- "That was out of our control," she said. Doing so would have brought up potential legal problems, as nonstudents applyingfor an apartment at Island Apartments would have had grounds for claiming they were discriminated against. "Chances are, if & student was renting an apartment on his own, he would end up next to some families anyway," Brown added The apartments themselves are not exactly suites at the Hilton, as the furniture is somewhat used, and though they are larger than dorms (which one student referred to as "little prison cells"), the apartments are not as spacious as home was. Even still, students consider it their own community. As student-residents in one apartment were interviewed, their friendsfreelycame and went. One came in asking for help with a Halloween costume, another asked around for some milk, which is of course essential to make the meal which college students everywhere are accustomed: macaroni and cheese. Though they do have their problems (as mentioned earlier), some consider the student housing a good opportunity to make friends. "This is a good place to get to know people, and to socialize. Other than the Greeks, there's no real community at school," said Casey Woodie. Indeed, two of the students in the program interviewed were also in Greekfraternities. Oliver Hepp is in Tau Kappa Epsilon, while Brandon Demamiel is a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. The housing community seems a fairly loose one. Some joked that they "live on bread and crackers," and as Demamiel kidded, "Ifs really close to midnight golf." "The main goal of the program," Brown concluded, "is to enhance the academic program, and toconnect the students with on-campus clubs; to get them involved." One student, for example, has started a recycling program, and some have gotten involved in a local basketball league. There are currently 39 students in the housing program and there is a waiting list for next semester. Letters are sent out to new and transfer students, as they are the group with the largest potential for taking advantage of the program. �Consider alternative medicine with care While I am always tempted to write about the health and fitness benefits of exercise or recent developments with sexually transmitted diseases or AIDS, some factsfroma recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine need to be known. Alternative health care is increasingly being used. By this I mean acupuncture, herbal medications, chiropractic, homeopathy, massage, relaxation techniques, biofeedback, nutritional counseling, etc. In fact, $11 billion are spent out-of-pocket annually on alternative medicine or, as Oft. some would call it, "complementary medicine". I guess it is an alternative to western medicine or complementary to western medicine. In the study, 34 percent of patients reported seeking the advice of one or more alternative health practitioners. The problem is not that advice or treat- ment was sought, but that only 25 percent of those people told their regular physician or health care provider that they had done so. Most physiciansare not aware of all the different types of alternative health care or believe, necessarily, in their benefit, however, they survey revealed 92 percent of some 500 physicians are will- ing to refer patients for alternative treatment modalities. We at Student Health Services are most interested in keeping students at an optimum level of health and wellness. We can only do that if we are partners with patients in their total health care. Also, I would argue that we are likely to be knowledgeable about alternative practices and indeed, do endorse them if we feel they could be beneficial. However, since some of these alternative modalities can be quite costly, we would encourage the patient to evaluate the benefit of such mo- dalities. likewise, there could be sound medical reasons for not combining certain treatments or the need to make adjustments with medications. Consistent with our goal of helping maintain or restore an optimum level of health and wellness, we encourage you, the patient, to discuss the alternative therapies you are using when seeing a primary care provider.

Campus advising programs offer myriad of services By Paul Hilker Staff Writer Midterms are underway, and stress levels are at their peak point How do you avoid the stress that builds throughout the semester? Take advantage of the tutoring services offered in the labs on the third floor next to the Cashiers Office. Many students tend to wait until they are overwhelmed with work before they seek helpfromtutors or advisors. Calvin One Deer Gavin, the director of ASPIRE, says that students need to take advantage of these services long before the rigors of academia begin to cause stress. "Students who take advantage of both the tutors and the classroom will reap the ultimate benefit," he explained. "They will develop strategies and schedules for organizing and executing assignments and won't have to deal with the stress."

Jh �Dance class is joint effort of culture By Paul Hilker Staff Writer Dance 392, American Modern Dance, is a Cal State San Marcos class offered at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido on Tuesdays and Thursdays. University President Dr. Bill Stacy was able to create a partnership with the Center for the Arts, making it possible for CSUSM to utilize a dance studio in central Escondido. Stacy is a chairman of the Department of Education at the center. The department, headed by Administrative Director Leah Goodwin, allows the school benefits like masters classes, presentations by professional performing artists, and the use of the facilities. The class presently has 19 female students and one male student l ike most programs at CSUSM, the class is still new, so not many people know what ifs about a It really depends on what you like. Everyone needs some kind of balance between academic and physical needs," said studentPaul Ryker. T his class is fulfilling in that it allows you to relax and enjoy yourself." The only male in the class, Ryker said he felt that because of the stereotypes and images surrounding dance, many feel that it is a more "feminineoriented" class. Rykeraddedthat "More emphasis is put on the movement and mind/body coordination rather than style or technique." Any kind of physical action, whether it be a sport, an art, or a job, has qualities which allow us to relax andforget aboutthe stress of academic work. "I like the feeling of the movementinvolved in the class," noted Jeanette Robidoux, another student "Dance is a feeling of freedom. The class allows me to experience freedom and self expression." Though the title may be intimidating to many, all experience levels are welcome.

"I really feel that the class fits well with the mission of global diversity at CSUSM," she said. "I incorporate many different cultures within the music and expression in the class." Native American and African percussion are just two of the styles of music used by the class. Since it is the only dance class offered, Scarpelli explained that more performing arts classes are needed because they add to the artistic development,and character of the sMdents at CSUSM. through movement, choreography, and information about social influence of the American culture through dance," she continued.

Film Review The American President' is ail-American fun and fluff THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT Director: Rob Reiner Columbia Pictures/Castle Rock Entertainment Starring: Michael Douglas, Annette Bening, Martin Sheen, David Paymer, Samantha Mathis, Wendie Malick and Michael J. Fox Rated: PG-13 By Andie Hewitt Rim Critic Rob Reiner's latest romantic comedy is simply good, clean fun. He has produced a sweet and sappy movie with no surprises, no sass, no substance. The president, widowed and raising his young child (Lucy) on his own, meets and connects with a career lobbyist and they begin to date. The trials and tribulations of having a "bachelor" president dating, dining and dancing the night away provides much of the movie's merriment and mirth. With the infamous and incredible face and voice of Martin Sheen as his number-one aide, AJ Mclnerney, and Michael J. Fox as his speech writer and voice of the people Lewis Rothchild, President Andrew Sheppard (Michael Douglas) tries vainly to have a "regular-joe" romance with Sydney Ellen Wade (Annette Bening). The talent that Reiner brings on board is immense and underused; they do a good job of politely tiptoeing around each other's performances, never really giving 100 percent There are over- (or under-) tones of sexism throughout the movie with Sydney reduced to a tongue-tied, shaking schoolgirl complete with a crush on the Big Man On Campus. Along with a Knight in Shining Armor and Prince Charming, now we can hope and pray for a date with the President Not only can we dream ofouryoungsonsbecomingpresident, we can hope to marry off our daughters to the leader of the freeworld. You would feel LEFT out if you didn't discern the overt political leanings of this particular presidency, not to mention the proclivities of Mr. Rob Liberal Reiner. He does, however, fill the film with plenty of pride and patriotism, and if only the people in politics were really this nice (and good looking!). Kyou're looking for something shallow, look no further, there's nothing deep, risky or inventive aboutthisfilm. As pleasurable as if s been to watch Rob Reiner evolvefromMeathead to moviemaker, he's done nothing to challenge the face offilmgenre since "Spinal Tap." Here, with "The American President," he safely and securely spits out aformulaic romance complete with, well, go ahead, you canfigure outthe ending about 15 minutes into the movie. Go see the film. Will I talk about it for days on end? NO. Will I put it on my top-10 list for the year? NO. Was I moved, was I motivated? NO. Was I . . . well, you get the picture.

Smoking Popes:for love«SUBUJft¥* of music or money? By Jill Ballard Entertainment Editor I often wonder why people want to become rock stars. Is it for the fame and money? Ithink everyone wantsthe money, but as for the fame I'm not so sure. Do people seek rock star fame because they have a artform they want to share and they really mean what they sing or do they just accept the fame in order to make a lot of money? Sometimes I'm not so sure. On Nov. 151 saw the Smoking Popes open for Tripping Daisy at the Backdoor SDSU. I interviewed Josh Caterer before the show. He seemed like a nice enough guy, but he also seemed like he didn't want to be there. He probably would have preferred to be home with his well-missed girlfriend Steffany, which is understandable, but he chose to pursue a rock star career. HecouldVesaidnoifhe wanted to. For someone who's supposed to shine in the public eye, he sure does keep to himself. "I don't want the world to know anything about me," he said. He also declined requests for off-stage photos and a signature on the sleeve of the Smoking Popes album "Born To Quit" I asked him if he was a private guy and he jokingly said, aI don't feel private." The Smoking Popes are three brothers, Josh Caterer, Eli Caterer, Matt Caterer, and one other guy, Mike Felumlee. The album has a few catchy songs like their single, "Rubella." Ifs a song about wanting the girl just as every song on "Born To Quit" is about wanting the girl— a very narrow subject to fill an entire album with, but thankfully the album is not too dull. Even if the lyrics get stale they are still fun to sing along to. When asked if he's going to write about any other subjects in the future he said, Hey Josh, what are some questions you hate getting asked? "Well, if I told you t hat you'd probably ask them" " W e n , 1 m m yes, but I'm gonna keep writing about love at the same time. I'm gonna try to combine it with other topics within the context of one song, know what I mean?" An alternative band would not of course be official without making an appearance on MTVs "120 Minutes." The Smoking Popes were interviewed for about 10 minutes and then had one clip of it aired numerous times. I asked Josh if MTV picked his best quote Qfs of him trying to explain why he writes so many "love" songs). "No, i fs one of my worst ones," he replied. "I think they do that on purpose, they go through and kinda pick out the quote that makes you look the stupidest and then they show i t" The performance by the Smoking Popes at SDSU's Backdoor was mediocre. It had some good energy, but seemed a little sloppy. The singing wasn't really into it, but the guitars were fast and fun. I fs hard to predict the future of the Smoking Popes at this point in the game. So far, the title of their current album isn't the plan (although Josh has quit smoking). They are going to start recording their next album in the beginning of the year and they hope to have it out in the spring or early summer. Hey Josh, what are some questions you hate getting asked?

T he reconsideration of more days was already in the works." Gray formed a task force designedto update the policy to give clubs and organizations more freedom to conduct food-selling fundraisers and events on campus. It is Gray's hope that food selling days and/or events will be compromised by the start of the spring semester. According to Gray, days were set aside under the current policy for clubs and organizations to sell food on designated club days. But A.S. has not been satisfied with the tight restrictions, resulting in the protest. "The food selling restrictions protest was successful," said AS P resident C harles Ragland. "Sometimes the best way to approach a policy is to violate it." Other criticism of the current policy comes from Student Activities Director Cheryl Evans, who has never seen a copy of the policy. According to Evans, there is no written policy, but simply an agreement between the foundation and Artec Shops. T he policy has been laid down to the extent of 'here's the rule/ Most follow it to the tee," said Evans. H ie support of the food sales broughtthe largest campusvoter turnout of the year. The voting event also saw the support of San Marcos Mayor, Corky Smith and CSUSM President Bill Stacy in the morning before food available for purchase. Blame Alicia Smith, lieutenant assistant director of Public Safety. "The faster, the quikcer, you contact us, the faster we can get to you." With regard to the dim yellow lights in the parking lot, Smith said she understood that a county ordinance requires such lights to help lessen glare for the Palomar Observatory. Continued from page 2 Madeleine Marshall echoed similar sentiments. "People in positions of authority need to be a bit more savvy," she said. "People out there are scared." Both Smith and Public Affairs "What I was trying to say is that the phones are available, and Director downplayed the hype we want to make more people over the incident, saying that this aware to use the phones," replied. is the first such major assault in six years. Students and faculty take issue with that, however. "There's this wholefictionthat we live in the boonies," Marshall explained. "And anyone who reads the Times Adovate knows that if s not safe at all." Marshall said she will be teaching an evening class next spring, and walking to parking lots in groups and being aware of campus safety programs is essential.
