These parking citations may be invalid due to improper sign posting and the ofF-campus property not falling immediately under Parking Services'jurisdiction. Jim Courtney, Building Inspector for the City of San Marcos, said, "The property owner or manager can have the vehicles towed. They [Parking Services] can control the labeled lots, but they can't ticket kids in those unleased spaces or they're going t o end up with lawsuits." Parking Services has leased 160 parking spaces for 12-months at $1,000 per month at the 120 Craven Road property for use by CSUSM permit holders. Leased spaces are labeled with white paint "CSUSM PERMIT". The remaining 147 unmarked spaces are not leased by the university and are the private property of Palomar Pomerado Health Services. Dora Knoblock, director of Parking Services, says a clause in the lease agreement grants Parking Services the permission to cite violators. Parking Services Officers are "un-sworn officers," said Knoblock Parking Services has the authority to cite parking violations on property owned and leased by the CSU system.

Only a number marks it, like so many other doorways in this labyrinth maze we call Cal State San Marcos. Your hand reaches out and grips the handle as the door flings open. The sounds of life escape from the classroom, steamrollering over you. The small room overflows with students of all ages and beliefs who have come together. Lively discussion fills the air. Angry students zealously fight for their rights; others roll their eyes in boredom. Several raise their hand to remind us all to keep the peace and remember to work together. Applause booms through the crowd, but the chain does not break. With a new issue raised, the cycle of anger, boredom, and peace begins anew. The Inter-Club Council (ICC) meeting officially started on Friday, February 11, 2000, with a call to order at 1:40pm. Clubs join ICC is to receive full or partial funding for activities, limited insurance, and voting rights in all orders of council business. The representative of a club gives details on why they are asking for the money, then all the club reps vote yes or no to their request. Most funding is approved for at least half the amount requested, as long as it meets certain criteria. The discussion begins when the use of the money falls into a gray area in the rules. The first of these discussions fell on the request for funding of a "Safe Spring Fling" by Peer Education and Support Club, mainly because it was a large sum and other clubs felt it might be taking too much away from their store of shared funds. Eventually the motion passed, but with the condition that the Peer Education club seek partial funding from the American College Health Association. In attempting to give my opinion, I instead created problem conditions for the Peer club. I send my apologies. Peace was restored to ICC until The Victorious Club asked for thirty dollars for their Valentine's Day fundraiser. To sell lollipop bouquets the club needed a small amount of money for supplies. The club was denied funding because ICC money cannot be appropriated for fundraisers. The council quickly agreed to loan the Victorious Club thirty dollars, on the condition it is paid back after the funds have been raised. By the end of the meeting, almost every club drew together in an effort to find the best solution for funding each club's activities. By engaging in a kind of sparring match, members saw new ways around obstacles in order to get to their mutual goal: to engage students with activities that will awaken them to their campus and community. Melanie Addington PRIDE STAFF WRITER District Supervisor Bill Horn presented his "State of North County Address" to the major San Diego news networks and media, members of the community, and distinguished guests in room ACD102 on Friday, February 11, 2000. "It has been my tradition for the last five years to tailor a message specifically for North County," remarked Bill. As supervisor of the fifth district of San Diego County (which includes San Marcos), Horn works to preserve the public health, safety, and welfare of the people. Five individuals make up the Board of Supervisors. They sit on several committees to try to implement changes that they think will better serve the whole community. In other words, they are the people we send in t o deal with all the "bureaucratic mess." Speaking on behalf of all of us, Bill stated, "I would like to say thank you to our Sheriff's Department, District Attorney, the Probation Department, and the Courts for making our communities safer and for working together in a unified effort to stop crime in North County." Horn also stated, "The Gates Library Foundation will allow the placement of 54 personal computers and 16 printers." The libraries that will receive part of the $140,000 in materials funding are Borrego Springs, San Marcos, District Supervisor Bill Horn Valley Center, Vista, and Fallbrook. Due to his belief in education as one deterrent to crime, Horn also took credit for obtaining funding for an upcoming replacement library in Valley Center. He also hinted upon a new Pilot Program that will filter pornographic web sites in libraries. Right before his goodbye, Horn sent out the question, "You wouldn't send your children to the park with a pedophile, why would you send your kid to the library with a pornographer?"

By Joel Montes history This is my second year at CSUSM. I would like to think that I speak for the majority of students on this issue. It only took me one semester to figure this out. Why hasn't it clicked for the administration these past ten years? Please read the following excerpt from our mission statement: I.

After the first e-mail wish to participate in collegiate study." We should also have extended hours for basic services at least once a week such as a Thursday where Admissions and Records, Financial Aid, EOP, I received, I visited the web site described in the e-mail and 'agreed' to the policy, then Cashier, and other services can provide help to students and future students who otherwise may received two additional e-mails describing how students are required to 'agree' to the policy. The repeated e-mailing despite compliance is offensive. find it difficult to do so during regular hours. The e-mail also contained a threat, which also violates the policy. Describing how the "Works in partnership with other California educational institutions to maximize educaaccounts will be locked for non-compliance is a threat — the threat to damage students' tional opportunities forstudents." Another thing that i s frustrating to those of us, who are transfer students from a California institution, is that not all of our transferable credits are transfer- ability to perform and complete electronic course work. Furthermore the 'agreeing' to the policy is the entering into a contract with CSUSM. able. It doesn't make sense. Neither does the rule that we have to take a certain amount of units However, this contract is invalid. A contract entered under duress is meaningless. Due here to graduate. It is a waste of time and money for us taxpayers trying to make a better life to the writing requirements at CSUSM, and the fact that many instructors communicate for our children and ourselves. The argument may arise that there are not enough funds to expand student services or that important class information electronically, computer access is a necessity at CSUSM. the demand does not substantiate such a claim. Take a poll. Barbecues are fine, concerts are Therefore coercing students to 'agree' to a policy by threatening to lock their account is good but when the mid semester crunch kicks in or finals start coming around the corner and not only in violation of the policy, but also invalidates the agreement. I find it offensive graduating seniors scampering around the campus, all that doesn't matter. Services matter. that CSUSM is forcing students to enter a meaningless contract of suffer academically. It is offensive that a public institution would attempt to limit freedom of speech. StuJ Library hours matter. Computer lab hours matter. How much more money does it take to do this?

Doing so will make the administration take the student body access policy because it is not academic, and I am writing it on a campus computer and e-mailing from a CSUSM e-mail account, and also because it may be deemed offensive seriously by making them accountable for what they do with our money.

We can make a face for San Marcos, instead of following along with the Deeply offended, and violating the policy. administration's definition. Offensive E-mail from Garrett Collins DEAR EDITORS, I am writing to thank Johnny Coogan for his incredibly insightful article "To Read or not to Read". I find it amazing that reading has dropped so pitifully in the last few years. Kids (and probably adults) do not read enough at all. One might call them shallow. I myself am an avid reader: Critchton, Koontz, and Grisham are among my favorite authors. However, I find it very difficult to read a book for pleasure during the semester because of all of the reading that I am already assigned. I agree that everyone should read more, but as long as Playstation is around - sad to say - that is just not going to happen. J.

Knoblock said that the University Police has made no official sanction, and that the University Police is a separate entity from Parking Services. Knoblock also stated that permanent signs are on order. Parking Services' "temporary" signs have been in place for the first two weeks of the spring semester. Carl Blaisdell, Building Division Director for the City of San Marcos, said "If you post a sign, if you post a sign, then it must confirm to a certain width, height, material, location,,.. all that kind of stuff." When shown photographs of the handwritten signs placed by Parking Services, and asked if they are a valid posting, Blasdell responded, "I don't know. You'd have to go to court." Blasdell also stated that a judge could rule, "If I can see it, you can read it."

Knoblock reminded that there is an appeals system in place if a recipient feels that they have been ticketed unjustly. "If legal counsel becomes involved in this—we pull out of it and we let our legal counsel deal with it," said Knoblock. "The judge—that's the final decision." Courtney didn't agree and stated, "If you take it to a court, a judge is going to say 'that is not posting.' A reasonable driver is going to look where: 74-inches off the ground," and later added "the signs aren't anchored—they're not permanent." Deputy Charles Vorce of the San Marcos Sheriff's Department said, "If the Chief of Police issued any official sanction or temporary parking order, then these would be the signs." Deputy Vorce used an example of a bicycle race requiring temporary road closure.

In return, young men would court those women whose notes were drawn. The church merged the Roman holiday and the martyrdom of Saint Valentine into one when Christianity became the official religion of Rome. PRIDE STAFF WRITER The Tomb of Saint Valentine Valentine's Day comes when money has been drained from our pockets right after Christmas. It is a holiday second only to Christmas in spending and wrapping. Have you ever wondered why we celebrate Valentine's Day? Did it ever cross your mind that the beheading of a priest and a bishop resulted in such a celebrated and traditional day? The historical story of Valentine's Day is by far gloomier and less romantic than its modern version. Legend has it that Valentine, a Christian priest, married young lovers against the orders of Claudius II. According to Claudius, his men would be less willing tofightin war if they were allowed to marry, so he outlawed marriage. The priest did not follow orders and continued to marry young couples. As a consequence, the execution of the priest Valentine took place on February 14, 269 AD. Strangely, years later, another martyr, a bishop, also by the name of Valentine, was beheaded as well. Here's another Valentine's story: February 15 was the day designated to honor the Roman god Lupercus. To celebrate, young women would write and deposit In the United States, the greeting card industry sells millions of Valentine cards each year. Nowadays, Valentine's Day no longer includes religious customs burdened with martyrdom. Instead, sweethearts exchange cards. I must add, however, that after speaking with several students on campus, I find that would-be sweethearts claim they would prefer something less generic in gifts, such as cards, PRIDE STAFF WRITERS Dr. Lytle did not play any of Johnson's music but he suggested students read Johnson's book Black Manhattan. Dr. Lytle also performed scores by Thomas "Fats" Waller that he All in the name of love. Stained glass window depicting S t Valentine Celine Dion's "All The Way...A Decade Of Song Victoria B. Segall PRIDE FEATURE EDITOR Kathleen Hash and Giovanni Ferrer Dr. Lytle told the audience that he liked to improvise when he felt the piece called for it. He asked, "Do you play what's on the page, or do you trust James Wallen Johnson and improvise?" When asked what would be the worst Valentine's Day gift, Spanish major Lupe Canseco answered, "A Valentine's card with nothing written in it except a signature." Who would have thought that the death of two religiousfigures,mythology, and lore would have resulted in the holiday we celebrate today? How did the exchange of cards begin? Another Valentine legend arose during the Middle Ages. Lovers exchanged messages and gifts because it was commonly believed at this time that birds began to mate on February 14. Valentine cards came to the United States with the first English settlers. Mailing homemade Valentine messages became common practice when postal systems were organized. In 1847, Esther A. Howland developed the first cards and sold $5000 worth in cards. Howland's Valentines became incredibly popular. Cecil Lytle: Piano Sounds through Music History On Thursday, February 10, 2000, pianist, Dr. Cecil Lytle presented a selection of music he called "Rags to Other Riches" in ACD 102. Dr. Lytle, a music history professor at UCSD is also the provost of UCSD's Thurgood Marshall Charter School. His selection for the evening consisted mainly of African American com posers that ranged from the late-1800s to mid-1900s. He performed three pieces by Scott Joplin, the most recognizable being "Mapleleaf Rag". chocolate, or a teddy bear, for Valentine's Day. Other students said they would prefer a self made and personalized card for Valentine's Day. felt might be new to most of the audience, as well as pieces like, "Alligator Crawl" and "African Ripples". Dr. Lytle was also a constant source of information and spoke about each piece in-between performances. The music professor was very excited about sharing the deep history of music with the audience. Dr. Lytle's enthusiasm was evident in his passionate and emotional performance, as his repertoire jumped from African American composers to Jewish-American composer, George Gershwin's "Three Piano Preludes". Hefinishedthe evening with "Giant Steps" by jazz artist John Coltrane. Dr. Lytle recorded a compilation of hymns last fall. The album, which will be released this summer and can be found at the UCSD bookstore, is as of yet untitled. Valentine's Day comes and goes every year. However, for those of you looking for romantic, "lovey-dovey" type music to listen to yearround, there is Celine Dion's most recent CD release, "All The Way...A Decade Of Song". Grammy-award winner Celine Dion's current CD compilation includes nine past favorites, including three movie theme songs: "Beauty and the Beast," "Because You Loved Me," from the film "Up Close & Personal," and "My Heart Will Go On," from the film "Titanic". In addition to such past great hits, there are seven new songs, including Dion's newest up-beat single, "That's The Way It Is," and a remake of Roberta Flack's 1972 hit, "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". This CD compilation, totaling sixteen songs, is a good purchase for music-lovers interested in Dion's more popular songs. "All The Way...A Decade of Song" results in slow, soft, soothing "pop" songs for listeners. Depending on your taste in music, this compilation may either help you fall asleep at night or help you relax after a long day of classes. Celine Dion's sweet-sounding, yet unbelieyably strong vocal talent may impress even those who may not be fans of this genre of music. �LEAVE LEONARDO AT TffE BEACH By Shanna Skidmore PRIDE STAFF WRITER Based on the book by writer Alex Garland, The Beach offers the viewer a sense of what life would be like away from everyday rituals and a world f ull of technology. not last forever.

Jana Homik Joni Miller PRIDE STAFF WRITER PRIDE STAFF WRITER If you have noticed a little more elbow room while on your way to classes in Academic Hall, it is not just your imagination. A number of freestanding, sandwich board signs were removed from the breezeway on the second floor over the Winter break. CSUSM's very own President Gonzalez was listed among some of San Diego's finest who were honored by San Diego Magazine's top 50 "People to Watch" in 2000. The January issue touted Gonzalez as a "no-nonsense educator who has eased troubling racial discord on campus, forged relationships with local community leaders, and won battle for funds to unclog traffic bottleneck at State Route 78 and Twin Oaks Valley Road." San Diego Maga zine reported that the President's plans to increase efforts for school funding for the proposed state of the art library, athletic facilities and student housing were just some of the upcoming challenges Gonzalez will face. The article summed up Gonzalez' performance to date by saying, "With enrollment on the rise and a hard-charg- ing Gonzalez at the helm, CSUSM enters the 21st century as a growing educational force with a solid mission statement." According to the magazine "there are so many watchables out there, the hardest part^ i s narrowing the list to 50...There is no standard formula. But we draw from a wide pool of talent, and we think we've arrived at a list that encompasses a broad range and diverse collection of San Diegans." Others named on the list are San Diego Police Chief David Bejarano, San Diego Museum of Art Director Don Bacigalupi, San Diego Opera Director Ian Campbell, State Senator Steve Peace, MP3 founder and CEO Michael Robertson, and Chief of Staff to the Governor Lynn Schenk.

At least one half of the breezeway must be clear, said Orsak, and several of the signs had blown over, requiring students to step around or over the downed signs. Trevor Knudsen of the Anime Club notes, "Anime Project Alliance's board was broken in the process [of removal] and we were never notified that it was going to be taken down, or that it had been after the fact, we had to hunt it down and it took a while." Orsak believes that the wind, rather than rough treatment caused damage to the signs he called "abandoned." The signs lacked any identifying marks or names, and were therefore considered abandoned and removed. Leiana Naholowaa, Pride newspaper ^editor, said that the large newspaper wood bin near the stairway of Academic Hall was missing one day of the week right before school began. The whole walkway was cleared of signs and bins and she stated, "It looked like the area had just been water-blasted and cleaned. I assumed that Facilities would return our newspaper stand later on, and they did." Signs outside of Academic Hall tried to trade in their sandwich board sign for a more permanent glass case, similar to those already posted in Academic Hall. In spite of numerous attempts to obtain permission for such a sign, Kimberly Whidden, President of the Accounting Society last year never received a call back. "I too, believe the signs are unsightly, however clubs need a common area to post notices of our choice...Members need up to date information and a place to leave messages for each other." The Accounting Society has Sandwich boards placed by the university, reminding stu- 1.5-liter, 4-cyl produces 108 hp and boasts 34-mpg city, and 41-mpg highway. 110 hp with 28-mpg city, and 35-mpg highway. dents of deadlines and badgering them to pay their tuition, remain. Because the campus has no clear policy on sign placement, Orsak has contacted Administrative Services and requested that a task force be created to look at the sign posting policies. Clubs will continue to compete with each other and the university for the prime locations. If your club is missing a sign, they are being held by EH&OS.

Pontiac claims the Aztek is "the world's first Sport Recreation Vehicle, with the versatility of a SUV, and the flexibility of a van." An innovation of the Aztek is the center console that doubles as a removable cooler with room for a dozen, 12-oz cans of beverage. One observer was overheard saying, "That Aztek is the biggest surprise I 've seen here. I mean, Pontiac? That innovative?" Two firsts were on display in the gasoline/electric hybrid vehicle category.

Bernard Hinton, a business professor who hired the first series of business instructors f or the new campus, retired from CSUSM on January 31, 2000. Hinton had originally chosen to come to CSUSM because it was an "opportunity of a lifetime [and] a professional challenge." "Hinton is known as being demanding, but focused," said Rick Moore, CSUSM Director of Communications, "He knew what he wanted and how he wanted it done." Hinton actively participated in the building design of the campus and was instrumental in making sure that construction was completed on time. He helped the university in its move into Craven Hall and made sure that Hibiscus flowers were included in the campus' landscaping. Although Hinton is retired from teaching, he is the president and CEO of SmartCities, a company which provides low cost internet access for schools in the district and founded LightSpeed Fiberlink, Inc., an Internet service provider. Hinton grew up in the inner city of P etroit and majored in biochemistry until his senior year when he changed to business. One day he was called into his office by his Dean and handed a contract which stated he would be teaching the next semester as he earned his MBA. Hinton h adn't thought about teaching or -getting his MBA, but took the j ob. He went on to get his doctorate at Stanford. •111111 $m ^mgmm^m HnHmm iMiifiimi i W§MmS l t t ^ l w l mmm ®8 S s! mm His goal as a teacher was to impact the lives of his students and he says that students he had in his class 30 years ago still keep in touch with him.
