This two-day celebration o f Native American heritage will include intertribal dancing, singing, and arts and crafts. According to Bonnie B iggs, the Coordinator o f Arts and Lectures and original member of the Pow Wow's organizational committee, all events in the series are planned in conjunction with at least one or more classes At Cal State San Marcos. Events such as this are well coordinated with the academic aims of the school. The Arts and Lectures events "support and enhance instruction here at CSUSM," says B iggs. The Pow Wow originated as a story-telling session held at San D iego State's North County library. According to B iggs, four hundred people attended the first meeting which has grown considerably. Last year's Pow Wow attracted nearly 10,000 people - many arriving from out of state. B iggs firmly believes that "it's one o f the best Pow Wows in California." This event is more than just a celebration o f Native American spirit. According to Calvin One Deer Gavin, it i s also a great academic experience. Some classes at CSUSM require written reports on cultural arts and events as part o f their curriculum.

Want to explore j ob possibilities and learn which local companies and government agencies are hiring and what they are looking for? Come to the CSUSM career fair and meet representatives from dozens o f local businesses and government agencies. The career fair is a great opportunity for C SUSM students to gather information about prospective employers and research career possibilities in an informal setting. The career fair will be held on October 3rd from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the C SUSM Founders Plaza. Among the more than 8 0 employers attending the fair are Bank o f America, The California Highway Patrol, Farmers Insurance, the San D iego Wild Animal Park, Kaiser Permanente. A nd the State Board o f Equalization. "The career fair is a great opportunity to put out information and clear up misconceptions," says Rebecca Boomer, employment c oordinator at the San D iego Wild Animal Park. Boomer wants to encourage people to start at entry level positions. "Parks like the Wild Animal Park tend to promote from within, so people need to realize that an entry level position gets your foot in the door," says Boomer. Boomer started at the park in an entry level position when she was 16. She's now been with the park for 12 years. "Even with a c ollege degree*, many people have to. start at the bottom and pay their dues," reminds Boomer. "People sometimes feel that it is beneath them to start at positions like cashier or clerk, but they need to understand that the park receives as many as 100 applicants for animal keeper positions, and whenever possible the park promotes people from within it's o wn staff." Jim Kohl, a C SUSM graduate w ho now works for the State Board o f Equalization says, "The career fair i s a great way to interact with students." The board has hired several C SUSM graduates and "is very pleased with the caliber o f students at CSUSM." "The timing o f the fair i s great this year. The C SUSM career fair is a week before the State Board o f Equalization holds it's semiannual interviews. Applicants who do well at the initial interviews are placed on a list and called back for second interviews as positions open up." says Kohl. T he c areer f air o ffers s tudents the chance to meet employers from many d ifferent areas at o ne time in a single location. Students are encouraged to ask questions about j ob possibilities and skills required to get the job. Students can also use this opportunity to find out more about potential employers and economic conditions which may affect future employment possibilities. In addition to the career fair, C SUSM will be holding a graduate and professional school fair on Friday, October 4th from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Students can explore study opportunities and graduate school requirements with representatives from several universities and professional schools. �N EWS The Pkide, Wednesday, OctdkeK 2 , 1 9 9 6 More space on t he way Classrooms will open in January Studies and the duplication center, which is currently in Science Hall, will fill additional space.

By Donna Gonzales Staff Writer H fmOKS: My boyfriend and my son were out playing football the other day. Charlie, 10, apparently has a knack for "throwing a spiral." At least that's what Bill says and he ought to know what with all the time he's spent coaching from the couch on Siinday afternoon. Anyway, because of this, Bill thinks Charlie should play on a team this year. Charlie, whose only concern is having fun, says playing on a team is a great idea as long as he gets to tackle people and get dirty. Bill agrees that those are wonderful attributes of the game, but stresses that the main reason to j oin a team is to experience the thrill of competition.. S omehow, I g et the idea that B ill doesn't think that Charlie's ability "counts" unless somebody i s keeping score. I think this must be one of those Mars/Venus thing. Now, Bill and Charlie are two of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet. O.K. I know neither one of them would be especially pleased with that description but I'm o gly telling you this to make a point. The rcfulfne starts innocently enough. One will off-handedly suggest a f ew passes out in the street and suddenly these s weet, sensitive guys turn into , well, you know, guys. And I mean Guys with a capital "G". "I'll bet I can get to the street before you do," Charlie challenges., standing at the front door, knob in hand. "Sure, if you're already outside before I even know we're racing," Bill complains. "Come back in here and we'll start from the couch." "No fair," y ells Charlie from the front yard this time. "You have to give me a head start." "What kind of head start i s that?" Bill questions, trying to get out the front door before Charlie sees him coming. "Ill bet you can't get the gate open before I catch up with y ou." "How much?" asks Charlie lunging for the gate. "You cheated," Bill says, a little too seriously. "You have to say if you're betting me or it doesn't count." "O.K.", Charlie counters. "I'll bet you a dollar you won't catch the first pass I throw." "No problem," Bill says. "Hey, wait. I wasn't even ready yet."~ "You already bet and I won. I can't help it if you can't catch." And s o it goes. Maybe I could understand this somewhat irrational behavior if it was limited only to sports. I mean, sports are competitive by their nature s o it would only stand to reason that those observing them would act up in one way or another. But this primal urge can rear its ugly head in the most innocent of situations and frankly, it frightens me a little. "Hey, did you get those weeds over there?" "Don't worry. I whacked 'em all. I Please see Rambler, p.8 There are a number o f subtle changes around the campus this year. Most students may not even notice them. But to Crystal Hurst, they make a world o f difference.

UFTIG projects showcased a t tech. fair By Ken VanHorn Page Editor The Computing and Telecommunications Department hosts its second annual Cal State San Marcos Technology Fair Oct. fourth. The fair will be in Commons 2 06 from noon until two p.m. Featured in the fair will be projects that received funding from the University Fund for Technological Innovation on Campus (UFTIC). These projects are geared toward the education of both students and community members and are related to the direction technology has taken in todays work place. Attendees will have a unique opportunity to see for themselves how edu- cation is being reinvented by technology and have a hands on experience with new programs that are relevent to daily events. The UFTIC was established by President Stacy two years ago as a way to foster the i nnovations and t echnologically friendly environment of the campus. It is also a means of insuring the funding is available for cutting edge equipment. "(UFTIC) allows faculty to have the funding and university support with a limited amount of money." said Dr. Bill Stacy, CSUSM President. Because w e are a newer university more consideration has been given to the neccesity of technology. Instructors can be assured there will be a computer on their desks and labs are better equipped. ' The university is trying tofindit's niche in a world of higher education," said Cuck Allen, CSUSM Multi-media Specialist. "We are lucky to be a newer university." Computers aren't the main focus of the technology fair but rather a tool that is used t o demonstrate the individual projects. "They're like a shovel. You g o to a garden show and s ee shovels and don't think 'Wow a shovel show' but rather see it as a neccesity in gardening." Allen said. Departments presenting projects will range from Computer Science and Psychology t o Library and F inancial A id. Catagories highlighted in the fair are Academic mid Service Projects, Operation and Accounting. The Computing and Telecommunications Department encourages everyone to attend. �OPINION The Pnide, Wednesday, OcrobeK 2, 1996' T H E P RIDE Constitutional, medical smoke screens blown away by right to life Sewing Cat Srare San Mancos since 1993 EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Tony Barton BUSINESS MANAGER Martin Backlund ON-LINE EDITOR T yCarss PAGE EDITOR Ken Van Horn STAFF Charles "Steg" Stegmuller, Donna Gonzales, Andie Hewitt, Rebecca Blanchard, Gabriel Lundeen, Kathy Simpson, Paul Hilker ADVISER Tom Nolan ADVISORY PANEL Erik Bratt, Roman S. Koenig, Ed Thompson^ Norma Yuskos, GfieryfE^rai^ Renee Curry KEN VAN HORN Abortion became an American battlefield thanks mainly to the historic R owe vs. Wade case o f 1969. S ince theji, A mericans h ave b een b ombarded on the issue from every imaginable side. Abortion has divided the nation into t wo camps and has inspired every c onceivable reaction, from passive protests to extreme violence. T he l atest o nslaught o f the d ebate h as brought to the surface a practice know in the medical profession as the "late term abortion" or "partial birth abortion." The issue i s fast becoming a line in the sand b etween p ro-life and p ro-choice supporters. More importantly, it has become a defining issue for election year voters. P resident C linton, c iting c oncern f or women's health issues, vetoed a bill earlier this year that would have put an end to the use o f late term abortions. In response, the House o f Representatives overrode the v eto by a s lim margin. T he s enate then v oted t o support Clinton, giving states the power to decide i f the procedure was permissible. The practice allows a woman to terminate a pregnancy in her last trimester. The controversy concerns not only the timing o f the abortion, but " ' S ^ l i S w I S ^ i r i ^ ^ S B ^ T S e ^ a n c e o f health issues. It can last more than a day and, in some cases, as many as three. During the abortion, breech birth is initiated and a needle i s used to collapse the child's head. This f ocuses the debate away from the health of the woman to that o f the baby. The pro-life side has argued that no true concern for women's health issues can be cited for the late term abortion, given the fact that the procedure takes s o long. The pro-choice side maintains that the w omen's health i s not limited to the physical but a lso must consider their emotional states. HLate term abortions have rekindled the debate which surfaces every election year. The difference this time i s the fact that the actual procedure has b ecome the target o f debate! instead of the ideals or morals involved. The i ssue has c aused supporters on both sides to take a c loser look at where they stand. Pro-choice supporters have had to re-evaluate the real issue o f l ife versus the bureaucracy, causing many to support the abolition o f late term abortions. The controversy i s redefining the boundaries and doing away with many o f the gray areas in which pro-life supporters have hidden. The right to l ife has begun to take a precedent o ver personal c onvenience, causing prochoice supporters to fend without the medical or constitutional smoke screens they have depended upon in past debates.

Tonic provides taste of 70's heavy < progressive By Gabe Lundeen Pride Staff Writer "It's a little bit o f everything," said Tonic lead singer and lyricist Emerson Hart. "A little bit of the darkness, a little bit of the lightness that you get in life." Tonic is an up-and-coming band that has been compared to such heavy weights as Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin in their etherealism, precision, and rock-and-roll style guitar playing. Tonic is a four man group, consisting of vocalist/guitarist Emerson Hart, guitarist Jeff Russo, bass player Dan Rothchild, and drummer Kevin Shepard They met in 1993 when Hart and Russo, old New York f riends reacquainted in L os A ngeles, hooked up with the other two group members to form a band. The band i s very much guitar-driven and has been described in almost nostalgic tones, bringing up images of classic rock. Guitar magazine describes them as "at heart an old-fashioned rock band". ^ ^ ^ g g ^ ' G a b e Lundefery • The band has received excellent reviewsfrom music publications, and despite the lofty comparisons, the band still remains down-to-earth. "Our main goal is remembering to make the best music possible and to keep true to the songs," said Hart. "It's always about the songs. Not the look." For the past four months, Tonic has been touring through much of the United States. Tonic plays on Wednesday, October 2 at Brick by Brick, in San Diego.

But, beyond merely showing the rise and inevitable fall of a celebrity, "Basquiat" is an engrossing film about the e ffects o f instant fame on one w ho stumbles upon it. The film boasts an all-star cast, with such notables as Willem Dafoe, Christopher Walken, Gary O ldman, M ichael Wincott, David Bowie, Dennis Hopper and Courtney Love. The most notable of these is B owie, who has the daunting j ob of playing Andy Warhol. But he looks the part, and proves once again that his talents are more than musical with a humorous and charming portrayal of the legendary artist. The real star i s Jeffrey Wright, who plays Basquiat, the artist who died of a drug overdose nearly 10 years ago. Wright steals the movie from his more famous co-stats with a performance that is amusing, inspiring, and tragic one that is easily worth Oscar consideration but probably will be ig- "One day I'll turn the corner and I know I won't be ready for i t" -Jeffrey Wright nored. Wright manages to project true sympathy throughout the movie, as Basquiat never seems truly happy in obscurity or in fame. "One day, I'll turn the corner and I know I won't be ready for it," the artist confessed early in his career. Wright manages to illustrate this inability to deal with fame in a moving fashion. Some of the film's most interesting scenes are speech-free, featuring only music. Usually music is an extraneous element in movies, but here, the works of artists like Tom Waits, John Cale and Van Morrison give certain scenes a great deal of power. The actors truly demonstrate their talents in these dialogue-less moments, and the music serves almost as an actor as well. Director Julian Schnabel is obviously a talented f ilm maker and will hopfully continue making movies. Basquiat i s a triumph, and it is easily one of the best movies to hit theatres this year. In a summer of action movies like independance day and Mission Impossible, Basquiat is a refreshingly honest and human movie that should not be missed. �The ?mbe, Wednesday, Ocrohe* 2, 1996 PLACE AN AD WITH I HII PRIDE!

"Anybody could do that. Why don't you wait ten seconds after it starts and then do i t." "O.K. How much?" It can get even worse, depending on the job. Ask them to vacuum and you run the risk of having the living room become the playing field for a rousing game of broom hockey. In a pinch, the top of a lampshade makes for an adequate basketball hoop when the urge for a little one-on-one with the laundry hits. And do I even need to mention the potential for socked feet and hardwood floors? I think by now you're getting the idea. At the risk of a little sexual stereotyping, F d offer that perhaps this urge to make a game out of everything is the way that guys communicate with each other, and grown men are given the added advantage of being able to return to their youth under the guise of "just being guys." While contemplating this theory, I heard Bill tell Charlie to get up on a chair and wipe o ff the fingerprints above the dooijamb. Without so much as a moments hesitation, Charlie was dragging the ladder in from the garage t o do what he was told. I looked incredulously at Bill and asked him how on earth he had gotten Charlie to do that with no fighting or complaining. I won't bore you with the details o f Bill's reply, but let's just say it had a rather evil, conspiratorial tone. And, as I turned to walk out of the room, I could almpst swear I saw in the window in front of me, the reflection of Bill's body flying through the air... CSUSM a $9,300 grant to help it develop a technique to separate components in the mixtures used to manufacture those inks, making for a more consistent writing job. Despite the fact that some dye lots have the same formula, they are different, jcontaining minor inconsistencies that sometimes impact performance. Formulabs does not have the equipment to analyze those differences, but CSUSM does; a High Performance Liquid Chromatograph machine. Most such machines measure how a liquid absorbs light, radiation and ultraviolet light. But the university's also measures the absorbtion of radio frequencies. PRINCIPLES Pow Wow •SOUND.

The event provides an opportunity for students to learn about Native American tribal history, and simultaneously f ulfills the multi-cultural aims o f the university's mission statement. "It is a family oriented activity. Anyone who wants to come is welcome. Many families from the community came last year to enjoy and learn," said Gavin. Gavin is the TRIO Programs Advisor here at CSUSM and is also part o f the Pow Wow committee. The best time to g o to the Pow Wow is at twilight, said Gavin. When the atmosphere and setting are perfect for relaxation and enjoyment, one "can learn a lot more," he said. The aim of the Pow Wow is to make people aware to inspire curiosity to find out more about cultures which are typically under-represented -especially on college campuses. "I want to encourage those who are attending the Pow Wow for the first time to feel free to ask questions while they're there. Don't feel shy," he said. This year, the Pow Wow will feature intertribal dancers from the Pacific Northwest. It will be held from 11a.m. Saturday, October 5th until 5p.m. on October 6th on the green adjacent to Twin Oaks Valley Road. Alcohol is not allowed. This event is free to the public. Bring your own shade umbrellas and chairs. Workshops for l ocal Native American junior high and high school students will be held on the 4th of October. These workshops are designed to encourage students to g o to college. Featured speaker will be Howard T. Rainer, a Taos Pueblo/Creek Native American. If, in one lot of ink formula, the machine identifies six components which can clog a pen, but only f ive in a separate lot, scientists can identify the sixth component by measuring radio frequencies, and make the ink consistent. Dr. Jacqueline Trischman, the CSUSM chemistry professor who directs the effort, sais, "We're just one step away from completing the project." When the research is finished, Trischman hopes to continue working with Formulabs, as well as other companies. Already, a local pharmaceutical company has expressed eagerness to use the university's $ 300,000 Nuclear Magnetin Resonance Spectrometer to identify chemical compounds. "Such partnerships work well for both companies and the university," said Trischman. "Students receive real life practical experience while businesses have access to technology they might not otherwise be able to afford." A mericans are living longer than ever.
