Prominent ideas are an elevated bus service and an air-powered monorail. A private engineering firm is working with NCTD in comparing advantages and costs of each technology. The air-powered monorail, proposed by Aeromovel, a Saudi-owned company, is untried in the U.S. Aeromovel monorails exist in Brazil and Indonesia. Steel-wheeled, and pushed by pressurized air columns, Aeromovel's system carries a price tag of $13 million. BARTON EdiTOR'iN'ChiEf Commuting students may not have to fight for parking or to cross the 78 freeway bridge on Twin Oaks Valley Road by the year 2000, if they live along one of 14 planned commuter train stops. The North County Transit District (NCTD) is including a two mile loop to Cal State San Marcos in its plans for a diesel electric train service between Oceanside and Escondido. Currently in deliberation is whether to utilize the same technology on the loop. The elevated bus way is estimated to cost $5 to $7 million. While the monorail would be more costly to construct, most of the land needed is already publicly owned. An elevated bus way would require the pipehasing more land, which could prove to be costly. Main rail trains that will run between Oceanside and Escondido are comparable to San Diego red trolleys, though they do not utilize overhead cables. The loop to CSUSM will shoot off near the San Marcos town center, and will re-join the main rail at Woodland Parkway, after going under Highway 78.

The Oceanside based theater company signed a 55-year lease agreement with San Marcos that paved a way for a new 10screen, 2,000-seat cinema complex in San Marcos Town Center. CinemaStar currently operates four multi-screen theaters in San Diego County and another three in Riverside County. Compsny officials said they looked forward to the planned expansion into San Marcos and the proximity to state Highway 78. "We are really excited about this project because it f urthers our reach into San D iego's f astest-growing a rea, N orth County," said John Ellison Jr., CinemaStar's president and chidfHecutive" officer.

By ToNy BARTON EdiTOR'iN'ChiEf Change has been a constant at Cal State San Marcos, and such is the case with this new year. As state support dwindles, and student body size increases while classroom space does not, President Bill Stacy's State of the University speech posed him as onereadyto take on the ever present struggles of raising a university with the on thing that has remained constant throughout the universities 7 year lifespan- change. Said Stacy, "We are a nation that likes options, as we change jobs, products or universities to get what we want. Thankfully, that swirl of institutional change is no stranger to us." Stacy c ompared t he university's adaptation to a 4,500 student enrollment, and 150 new staff and faculty to a "team", whose players shuffle each new year. New students account for moce than h alf'of^he total population of the student body. These students, Stacy said, will have expectations higher than those who remember the university at it's first location. "Not only do (new students) not share that excitement and prefer the cramped space here to Vallecitos-they will be more than a little aggravated by the space squeeze and the strain on stadd to accomodate them," said Stacy. Stacy r eflected on last years accomplishments, including the passage of Proposition 203, which funds the Photo courtesy of the Office of the President President Stacy gave the annual State of the University Address at California Center for the Arts, Escondido on Aug. 21. construction of a new building, the International building, scheduled for completion in 1998 and the arrival of the first freshman class.

I 've always thought it might be easier to write newspaper stories than a critical analysis of Hamlet, for instance. I mean, how hard could it be? I read Dave Barry's syndicated column in the Union-Tribune every Sunday and all he does is talk about some inane thing he thought of while lying in his hammock in the backyard, sipping a cold lemonade and trying to keep flies from landing in his mouth. I can do that, I thought. No problem. What I didn't realize is that it's difficult to be observant. Suddenly, I find myself no longer consumed by thoughts of numero uno, and spacing out while walking around the campus is slowly becoming a faded memory. I am now forced to notice my surroundings and, frankly, I 've shocked and amazed by what I 've seen, For instance, did ybui Kftdw that thB? lines at the cashier's office actually shrink to a manageable length well before parking permits are required on vehicles parked in campus parking.

But try that on the first couple of days of school in August and you'd find yourself in line purgatory. By the way, here's a tip for those of you in your first semester at CSUSM. There is a little known school supply that you may find beneficial, especially if you plan on using the restrooms on the third floor in Academic Hall. Paper towels! Usually, you can find someone who is willing to share but on those rare occasions when there are not 500 people jammed in the restroom with you, it's nice to have your own. Besides, it's a great way to meet new friends. Sometimes, at least for ah amateur observer like myself, it's rather difficult to distinguish between the teachers and the students and, honestly, Ifindthe whole thing rather disconcerting. I 've got professors who want me to call them by their first names and who dress like my teenage daughters, and students who remind the teacher to collect the homework, think they know more about the subject matter than God, herself, and have something to say about everything discussed in class, whether they do or not.

In fact, they'll go out of their way to do just that. They'll help you if someone tries to do things to you, and they'll help you when things go wrong. Who are they? The State University Police. They patrol day and night. T here are 14 i ndividuals in the university's crime/safety program- a chief, lieutenant, four officers,fivedispatchers, one guard, one parking enforcement officer and six community service officers. OfficerMario Sainz, teaches a course for women on how to defend themselves from an assault. Entitled RAD, it will be offered on Oct. 14,15,18. Said Officer Bobby Rivera, "I would encourage the campus community to take brochures on prevention vehicle theft and prevention of personal assault. They are free for the taking They're available at the Public Safety Office located on the east edge of the campus at 441 La More. Lt. Alicia Smith, the second-ranking officer on campus, said, "CSUSM has very little crime and we want to keep it that way. One of the things the university community can do is to know who we are and that we are here to answer any questions you may have about your safety, parking, or road problems." "We have a number of services that are available to the university community, but which some of the new students and staff may not be aware of." For instance, if you have a dead battery you will be connected directly to the dispatcher when you press the button on one of the 11 emergency poles located in the parking lots. An officer will be dispatched to the emergency pole even if no one is on the line. Very quickly, someone will come with battery cables, start your car, and get you on your way, said Smith. Lock your keys inside? No problem. The officers are equipped with tools and training to help you. As soon as a call is placed a light on the dispatcher's board shows the exact location of the call in the parking lot— even if the phone is hung up. Although public safety officers are restricted from changing tires by law, they will place a service call to AAA "Under no circumstances will we leave you alone at night or in any situation in which you feel threatened," said Rivera. All four officers hope that if the opportunity presents itself, students will walk up to them and introduce themselves, said Rivera. "I would encourage students to participate inofficer Sainz's (RAD) class.They are free of charge, and there may come a time that (participants will) be greatfull for what information they recieved.

Contents ©1996, T l , e P Rldc Please recycle this newspaper Public notification of college crime essential On Sept. 11, Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) introduced legislation entitled the Open Campus Police Log Act of 1996. If enacted, bill would require all colleges and universities in the nation to provide a daily log and public notification of all on-campus crimes. The House has similar legislation in the works, introduced by Congressman John Duncan (R-TN). Currently, higher learning institutions are not required to publicly disclose campus police logs. Complaints by students and parents about the inaccuracy of crimerelated information provided by colleges and universities have resulted in the proposed bill, according to a Feinstein news release. In the absence of legislation requiring open crime logs, institutions have covered up their own criminal environments that some may not wish themselves or their children to experience. Students, parents and the surrounding community have a right to accurate information. Criminal statistics may be a decisive factor in a student's choice of an institution. Parents may also be swayed from sending their child to such a school. This is the very reason some keep their records closed. If a high crime rate university was exposed, administrators would logically respond by upping security measures and spending. Perhaps educational activities would suffer budget cuts; but isn't it better to be short one science lab than to be mugged and left for dead in the school parking lot? Public access to information dealing with the safety and well being of students makes sense. It alerts students to the potential dangers of schools they are considering attending. It also forces institutions to combat on campus crime, if only for the sake of attracting new students. The Open Campus Police Log Act of 1996 ensures that the school you ?re attending is safe for you and your belongings. Simply put, we must uncover a smoking area STEG STEGMULLER Simply put, there is no smoking under any covered area at this university. Please notice the word "covered". If you cannot see the sky when you look straight up, don't light up. Is that so hard? . There is no smoking in the courtyaid in front of the book store where the tables and coffee bar are located. Yes, I'm fully aware that coffee and cigarettes are lovers. But lovers can be discreet, and they should also be aware of the no smoking signs posted there. It is only a short hike up the stairs from this area, maybe 80 feet, to the open area around the Dome. Shade, chairs, and tables welcome you there—and so do the rules. It's not just the students who break the rules, staff and professors also have been observed smoking in the restricted areas. And who is going to tell them? Not me. 1 don't mind a little smoke on my grades. But, they shouldn't be breaking the rules—they should be observing them. The cost of cost of cleaning up the butts up uses money that could be better spent elsewhere and labor that should be doing other worthwhile work. Why not have ash trays in the covered walkways so the butts won't get thrown on the floor? The rules prohibit it because that would encourage smoking. You don't leave guns and bullets around when you are trying to discourage shooting. Cigarettes butts, are jeeringly referred to by non-smoking zealots, as "smoked out tampons," Imagine what the metaphor would be if they had lipstick on them! It's morerealisticto think of the butts as unsightly and offensive to a laige part of the university community. For those who are highly allergic to smoke, they are dangerous as well. The solution simply may be to create a place, where excellent coffee and good seating afford those who wish to smoke a place of their own. A place where they can relax in a mini community, of their peers, or with non smokers who feel comfortable in a smoking environment. We need to do that in a non-confrontational manner, realizing as we go that smoking makes up an important part of some individuals lives, and that is inherent in some of the cultures others come from. We need to be sensitive to them, as well as others, in the way we resolve this problem. The university community should consider every one's concerns in a friendly, solve-the-problem attitude. It can be done. In the meantime, if you smoke, please observe the rules. �LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Prude, Wednesday, Sevreaihen 18, 1996 In defence of InterVarsity's meeting Dear Editor, In response to the "Religious Bigotry Unacceptable" (letter to the editor in May 1 issue of The Pride), I don't think that the author of this article understands the c onsequences o f c arrying o ut h is thoughts. On of the things the writer said is that a campus organization should not be allowed to have the freedom of speech to express its beliefs and concerns. I think it will be a sad day when a person or group of people are not allowed to hear about o r d iscuss t he b enefits o r f aults o f another's ideas. We d o the same thing in each one of our classes for the purpose of determining which is the better explanation or the more logical conclusion to a problem. Since the person who wrote "Religious bigotry unacceptable" wasn't at our March 12 meeting, when we discussed our topic "What does the Mormon doctrine really teach/ Are Mormons Christians," I feel he is not talking out of knowledge. However, I will inform everyone that our speaker was not spreading a message of hate, but rather stressed that we should not use the problems of the Mormon doctrine as a way to attack Mormons. He challenged those in attendance to center discussion on the supreme issue of who they really think Jesus Christ is? Secondly, in regard to the author's opinion of tolerance, as a contemporary scholar so precisely states, "tolerance in personal relationships is a virtue, but tolerance in truth is a travesty. Two plus two doesn't equal 17. It equals four. If this truth is circumvented to calculus, the inevitable result is chaos. Likewise, to compromise the claims of Christ can only lead to calamity." In addressing what seems t o be an underlying premise of the author's article, I find no logic behind relativism. It seems like this is what he might have also meant when he said, "regardless; of if you feel their faith is valid-in your e y£s,it i s certainly valid in their eyes." He i s right that it is valid in their eyes, but being valid doesn't mean it is true. All religions are not true. What is true remains unaffected by our wishes, or whether someone believes that their religion is true or not. The truth remains intact and doesn't change based on someone's view of truth. "All truth is exclusive-it excludes what is false as it affirms what is true. After all, if its true that the capital of the United States is Washington D.C., then it is false that it is any other city on earth. That truth excludes innumerable cities." This should clear up our purpose behind the March 12 meeting. If you have any further questions or comments I'd be more than willing to talk, e-mail me anytime. Also we would be glad to have you join us at any of our InterVarsity meetings. We are not sending a message of hate, but of truth and love. Brent King InterVarsity Christian Fellowship Calling free speech 'hate and bigotry1 is unacceptable Dear Editor, Censorship and banning open discussion doesn't have a place in America, let alone on a college campus. Aren't accusations of bigotry and hate just because of a flier stating "What does Mormon Doctrine really Teach?" evidence of real intolerant bigoty? Most Americans love truth, free speech and open discussions. Some Americans are so sheltered they d on't know what real religious bigotry i s. F or my s pring b reak I was priviliged to travel to Antipolo, Rizal near Manila and see the Movie "Kristo", which I found to be a fascinating blend of Biblical story with Filipino culture. Unfortunately, when I travelled to Zamboanga in Midanao that very same movie had been bombed 4 times by a fanatic anti-Christian minority group. That's real hatred! (Maybe their free speech had been censored).I propose a whole series of religious discussions: What do Catholicism, Christianity, Islam, Hindu, Judaism, and Atheism teach? Sorry if I left anyone out. Alex Albeit Senior Computer Science Government wastes natural resources Dear Editor, I recently performed a few hours of work for a local university. In order to get paid for that work, I was required to complete some forms. I must confess it disturbs me greatly that an institution, which purportedly advocates intellectual freedom and inquiry in the hope of advancing humanity in a positive direction, engages in willful habitat destruction and waste of precious natural resources. I am speaking of trees and the number of which are cut down in order t o c reate r edundant g overnment forms. In order to get paid for a mere 18 hours of work, I had to fill out 5 pieces of paper, all asking for identical information, one of which was in quadruplicate — 8 pieces of paper altogether. T he free market (environmental) approach would have been to compile all the information on one form, enter it into a computer and email the information to the appropriate departments, making the free market approach at least 86% more efficient. While I had no alternative but to submit to this meaningless exercise in penmanship, the waste created by government institutions and agencies such as this one is unnecessary, excessive and appalling. I was under the mistaken impression that the "computer" would somehow streamline government bureaucracy?!? The San Diego Reader recently did an investigative report on why doctors are refusing to accept Medicaid patients — nearly 200 pieces of paper (government forms) must be filled out for each patient! Is it insanity that drives government officials into these wasteful frenzies or is the urge to confiscate and waste tax dollars merely for selfish reasons — like j ob security? It's no wonder that Americans are coming to the conclusion that government just doesn't work. intolerance are not welcome where free speech reigns. Gina Forsythe Political Science/ Liberal studies Mary Szterpakiewicz Gradute Student Criticize events that you attend Dear Editor, This is a reply to the opinions expressed in a letter to the editor printed in the last issue of The Pride concerning supposed religious bigotry at Cal State San Marcos. Patrick Erbeck-McKinnion, Psychology major, stated his concerns about the d ifferences between Christianity and Mormonism. Certainly the Latter Day Saints population felt no threat from the forum (much less the flyer) held by InterVarsity Christian Fellowship since no public statement was issued from the LDS community. Why does Patrick purport to be the vanguard f or LDS b elievers? Patrick states he is not Mormon, and furthermore fails to logically substantiate his accusations against the forum. I suggest the LDS student might do better to present their own case without the help of his unfounded conclusions. The argument that simply because faith is valid in the eyes of its believer somehow justifies gurard from criticism has no;place at an i nstitutioft o f higher (earning such as CSUSM., where all ideas and beliefs are subject to critical discussion and debate within the classroom and outside of class. It will be a sad day for free speech when one individual may dictate the boundaries of intellectual discourse. The allegation that to hold a forum contrasting Christianity and Mormonism somehow spreads hate and bigotry is an argument rooted in suspicion and ignorance. Since the letter opens with concern over the flyer, it is unclear if he attended the forum itself. If he was absent, he has no reasonable foundation to assert that the forum promoted hate or bigotry of any kind. Moreover, he fails to cite any information about the actual'event. The forum, which I attended, was merely a presentation comparing and contrasting the doctrines of Christianity with the doctrine of Mormonism. Conducted by an expert on the teachings of Mormonism, it was an educational presentation for everyone, Mormons and Christians included. Among other things, Christianity teaches love, tolerance, and the inherent value of knowledge. The university environment encourages critical thinking and diversity. T his combination p rovides groups, such as IVCF, an atmosphere wherein it is acceptable to consider and debate differing points of view in an open forum. Bigotry is u nfounded p rejudice against race or religion; it is the exclusion of ideas based on personal preference or predisposed ideology. Mr. ErbeckMcKinnion's letter epitomizes such prejudice. To lend credibility to his aiguments, I would advise Mr. Erbeck-McKinnion to attend the events he criticizes. Slanderous unfounded accusations and suspicious We have a right to know what animals undergo Dear Editor, I recently was shocked and ashamed to discover that unnecessary, cruel experiments are being performed upon intelligent little creatures, our fellow earthlings, the rats, right here on our very own campus, C alifornia State University San Marcos. And furthermore, I was annoyed to realize how very little information I could find out about these experiments. I have e-mailed the entire Biology department and support staff at CSUSMj requesting information on these experiments and did not receive one response. I asked in person the director of the Biology department, Richard Bray, about the experiments in question and he referred me to the CSUSM Catalog. Of course the catalog's course descriptions are vague and fail to describe specific laboratory procedures. Bray also in his indirect information alludedto j'^pmB^ative physiology" (he must have been referring to Comparative A nimal P hysiology t aught by B rian Norris (one of those professors who ignored my e-mail).) I still am wondering what the Biology department is doing to animals and f or w hat e ducational p urposes.

Trujillo feels that this experiment is "necessary" to teach his students about conditioned behavior even though the experiment has been done over and over before and can easily be replaced with a video. I requested to see theserats where they are kept and Trujillo made it clear that he does not "give tours" because it makes him "uncomfortable." I feel that everybody has a right to know what treatment living beings of other species are subjected to on our campus and for what reasons. This information should especially not be supressed from the student b ody-thus I am now calling upon The Pride to assign a journalist t o comprehensively investigate vivisection on our campus and a assign a photographer to depict animals in our school's laboratories.

Try Old Poway Park. It will take you back in time to the old west. Take a short ride on a train, visit a pioneer museum, have a party in a lovely old hall, rent a gazebo, have a picnic. The park is open on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Sundays f rom! 1 a.m. to 2 p.m. On the first and third weekends each month, you can catch a ride on a train hauled by Engine No. 3. Built in. 1907, the engine spent 45 years hauling rock three miles for the Henry Cowell Lime and Cement Co. near Oakland, CA. On the second and fourth Saturdays and fourth Sunday, you can ride on a trolley used in Los Angeles at the turn of the century. It was restored by the PowayMidland Volunteers. Originally an electrical trolley, it now runs by a Corvair engine. When the trolley is in for repairs, the volunteers substitute a speeder engine, originally used to haul workers and supplies to mines, along with two gondola cars which were built in the 1880's, and used in mines to haul rocks and ore. There is no train or trolley service on the second Sunday of the month. If you're not into riding the rails, try the Heritage Museum at Old Poway, where you can see artifacts donated by the pioneering families of the community. The museum is run by volunteers who are constantly upgrading an creating new displays.

Were five Rocky movies necessary? Three Die Hard movies? Two (with a third on the way) Mighty Ducks movies? In fact, it's almost impossible to think of a movie produced in the last five years that actually warranted a sequel. Yet Hollywood continues to milk the cash cow of an already successful idea and cheapen it. Such is the case with The Crow: City of Angels. The successor to the 1994 surprise hit whose popularity was fueled by the on-set death of its star, Brandon Lee. City of Angels is just another sequel in the long line of sequels that should never have been made. The main thrust of The Crow is justice. When someone is killed wrongly, according to the plot, sometimes his soul , oannoqrest, and a crow must resurrect the person to right the wrongdoings. When translated by Hollywood, this means bloody killfest. There is only so much that can be done with this concept- how many ways can one kill for retribution and still remain interesting? Answer: certainly not two. City of Angels is nothing but a rehashing of the first Crow movie, with lesser acting, dialogue, and action. The big plot twist consists of aiather and son being killed rather than a man and his fiancee. 'j* Ashe, this year's Crow, men who killed his son and himself and kill them in order to rest in the afterlife. Ashe, played by Vincent Perez, is a predictable and thoroughly unsympathetic character. He completely overacts the role like the lead in a high school musical, projecting a faux despair that is obnoxious and insulting to any viewer's intelligence. Perez must have studied for the role by watching Brandon Lee multiple times on tape, because he fails to create a new character and instead bungles an imitation of an older one. The rest of the movie's characters become nothing but overexaggerated cartoon characters we've seen in countless other movies. The junkie henchmen, the evil druglord, the tough-yet-vulnerable woman- nothing even slightly original. In fact, the movie's best performance comes not from an actor, but rocker-turned actor Iggy Pop. Granted, Pop is no Marlon Brando, but at least he is semi-believable as a junkie henchman, and a lot more likable than the hero. One of the best things about the first Crow movie was the wit of the main character, which managed to keep the action a little less monotonous and a lot more fun to watch. It's evident that City of Angels tried to duplicate this, through creative line repetition, having Perez repeat something said to him before he was killed as he was killing someone. The first time it worked, but soon it becomes the Please see Crow, p. 7 �The ?nide, Wednesday, SepreabeK 18, 'Girls Town' is casual, comfortable, splendid By ANdiE HE w in Emma: sweet, sobering and socially graceful, yet emotionally awkward yearnPRidE STAff WINTER ing to fly free and unfettered.

Petty from p.6 Petty sings "she'll do anything to make you feel like an a— —e", obviously not a flattering statement, in such a sly way that his true feelings don't come through. Relaxing and listening to the album for the first time, the lyrical content is sometimes disguised. Uncharacteristic of Petty is the instrumental; you see few, if any, on his albums. He includes two, "Hope You Never" and "Airport". "Airport" is Petty's take on piano lounge jazz, and adds new flavor to the typical Petty sound. They are both short and sweet, and nice monotony breakers, serving almost as intermissions from the album's more conventionalsounding songs. From the humor of "Zero From Outer Space" and "Supernatural Radio" to the deadpan cynicism of "Change The Locks" and "Walls", Petty shows us the various sides of his music, yet makes it all sound similar on the surface. Artist like m usic legend and f ellow T raveling Wilbury Bob Dylan sing according to the lyrical content of a song; you can practically taste the feeling in his voice. But Petty prefers to convey a sense of ambiguity, and in many ways that makes his music more fun and accessible. It's not Petty's most serious effort by any means. It's not his best either, but it's n ot trying^ totoe;Miteniiig fe it comes through that all he wanted to do was have fun and make a good album, which is exactly what he does. Tom Petty fans should be pleased Library, Crow from p.6 movie's only source of dialogue. Cfity of Angels means well. Its director, Tim Pope, tries to employ artistic qualities to the film with interesting camera work and the use of a painting to convey mood, much as Bernardo Bertolucci did in Last Tango In Paris. Visually, the movie is interesting, but, like your average supermodel, it's pretty, but it lacks substance. Movie from p.6 somewhat satisfied as the one set of true and good lovers sailed into the sunset in the end. As for the Tom Petty music, the only real song you get to hear is "Even Walls Fall Down." The rest are just little background snippets here and there. My advice is see this movie with your significant other, because you'll leave the theater thinking, "God, isn't our relationship great? We're so lucky." And no it's not a "girl's movie." My boyfriend left the theater saying, ' Hiked $ ffiatlfaoVf^ listen to you more often."

That's how easy it is to apply for more than ten different scholarships at CSUSM, many for as much as $1,500. In an effort to streamline and simplify the process of applying for scholarships, the CSUSM financial aid office has come up with one simple form. Now, one application and the essay are all students need to be eligible for scholarships. Information from the application will also be entered into a database to link students with specific needs and skills to other available scholarships. The office recently sent out 2,300 letters with copies of the application to encourage students to apply.
