Nothin' but Love for the ILOVEYOU Worm Attack: ...8 Though the infamous ILOVEYOU "worm" spread like the plague throughout computer systems around the world, shutting down government agencies, corporate networks, and even entire nations early Thursday morning, May 4, 2000, CSUSM contained the attack on campus computers by noon the same day. ILOVEYOU was the subject line on e-mails containing an attachment that opened what some reports mistakenly called a "virus". According to the Symantec Antivirus Research Center viruses and worms differ in how they spread. Symantec is the provider of Norton Anti Virus software. Worms are designed to propagate cyber violence throughout a network with little or no help from humans (i.e. grabbing addresses and mailing itself). Alternatively, a virus is designed to hide out and allow itself to be sent to a recipient where it can wreck havoc on a machine. The ILOVEYOU attachment contained a Visual Basic Script (.vbs file) that, once opened, would mail itself to everyone listed in the address book, then begin corrupting specific files number of projects I hope to pursue and through them, I intend to continue contributing to the campus and the communities we serve/ Thanks for the support and commitment you've shown over the past four years. Together, we've made a lot of progress. In a memorandum to the Cal State San Marcos Campus Community dated May 3,2000 and released following the Academic Senate meeting, CSUSM's President Dr. Alexander Gonzalez notes that "[o]n Monday, May 1, Dr. Richard Karas resigned his position as Vice President for Academic Affairs. I respect his decision as well as his request for reassignment to a faculty position in the College of Arts and Sciences. With the fall semester, Dr. Karas will become a Professor of Physics at Cal on the local machine. "It's impressive code.. Clean...

The worm created what an Information Technology Consultant in HelpDesk Support, Carlos Arciniega, called a "panic" among campus computer users. When David Medeiros, Operating Systems Analyst for the campus Computing and Telecommunications department opened his e-mail at about 7:15am to more than 50 expressions of affection, he realized he was either more popular than he ever imagined or that a cyber attack had been unleashed on the campus e-mail system. "I opened the first arjd saw that the file extension on the attachment was .vbs," Medeiros stated. Knowing that most attachments are more common file types like .txt, .doc, or .jpg, Medeiros went to look for the latest updates for the Virus Scan program that catches and cleans Infected files. Medeiros said that they employed a 3-tiered defense, "Stop it, contain it, and fix it." Medeiros said that CSUSM faired better than many other organizations in the face of the worm because Computing and Telecommunications were prepared to react to the threat quickly. "When something like this happens, it's a big team effort," Medeiros said in praise of his coworkers. Computing shut down the campus e-mail servers almost immediately to quarantine the worm and began the process of cleaning the attachments for the campus e-mail servers.

In the same memorandum Gonzalez states that he will shortly "make a decision about an interim appointment and [begin] the search to replace Dr. Karas." Dr. Karas' resignation comes on the heels of the resignation of the both the Dean of Arts and Sciences, Dr. Victor Rocha, who will be taking a position as a professor of Psychology in the fall, and the Dean of the College of Business Administration, Dr. Newton Margulies who resigned his position in the fall of 1998 citing personal reasons. Dr. Karas came to Cal State San Marcos in mid-1996 from Western State College of Colorado, where he served as Vice President for Academic Affairs.

These "drill s ites" range in depth f rom three to f orty f eet, and o ften require more than one hour of drilling time per site. "Its all pretty straight forward, we are drilling to find the depth of the granite layer underneath the compacted e arth," stated Paul Dunster, Project Geologist of Geocon, who headed the p roject. Paul also states, "The granite layer will serve as a foundation for the new library." Due to previous blasting and grading, some of the granite was found in large fragments. The fragments are not capable of supporting heavy structures such as the library. Granite stability was the m ajor problem Geocon "drilled i nto" while determining the granite depth. "Sometimes i t's d ifficult to tell if the granite is s table," stated Dunster. Dunster said that he o ften had to get into "the cage" and was lowered down into holes to determine granite stability.

Prior to serving as Vice President for Academic Affairs at Western State College of Colorado, Karas served as Dean ofAdministrative Services at Sonoma State University. He also served as Chair of Sonoma State's physics and astronomy department, and as a manager in a computer company doing business in China.

Trying to establish a Greek sorority on campus is a continual process that takes f rom one to three years, Dr. Francine M. Martinez, Vice President of Student A ffairs, explained at the meeting. "The group can start as a club; however, it does not mean the club will be a recognized Greek organization," said Dr. Martinez. She outlined the process of establishing a Greek sorority f rom a club. The recognized club organization moves to a provisional status, and finally becomes an o fficially recognized chapter. Currently, there are two Greek social organization f raternities and two sororities on campus. The two Greek f raternities are Tau Kappa Epsilon and Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

One major problem of MDMA is that users may start having intense memories f rom the past that they are not able to deal with psychologically. MDMA takes anywhere f rom 30 minutes to two hours b efore it begins to work. When it does begin to work, the user reaches the peak e ffect in only a few minutes and the user may start to f eel out of control until the plateau. The e ffects of the drug last f rom three to six hours. Unfavorable side e ffects that may occur include, dehydration ( from dancing f or long hours and not drinking enough water), nausea, vomiting, j aw clenching, eye twitching, and dizziness. It is also possible for the user to have an altered state in their mood for up to two weeks a fter taking MDMA. MDMA is in such high demand at Rave parties that the MDMA may produce "strong supply w on't last through the feelings of c omfort, empathy, evening, leaving sellers to pedand connection to o thers," dling Ecstasy pills that do not have the contents of MDMA.

For example there may be a sun engraved on the top or a smiley face. The pills also range in color. Mike Spangler PRIDE STAFF WRITER According to N BC's Dateline, MDMA is the most popular drug at Raves. However, there are several other drugs that are being used increasingly in the club scene. Examples include GHB, Rohypnol, Ketamine, and LSD. All of these drugs are even more dangerous when combined with alcohol use. Raves are usually held on the weekends in San Diego County and most commonly will feature " techno" music with plenty of dancing. Students of Professor Loni B erry's Theatre Arts class (TA 300) will perform in a play of their own creation. Tentatively titled "Decisions, D ecisions,"the theatre experience will take place in the CSUSM Visual and Performing Arts Annex on Tuesday, May 16, 2000. The crew and 11-member cast are made up entirely of CSUSM students* many of whom have never b efore been involved with a theatre production. Some actors a re nervously calling the production " Off-off Broadway... Way-off Broadway." " It's not about the production, "said Professor Berry, " it's about the m aterial." The play f ollows San Diego television reporter, Mike Anderson as he p ieces together the events s urrounding a fictitious Proposition 33, a proposition that bans same-sex marriages in C alifornia. Mike uncovers startling evidence on election night about the p roposition's author, a never-seen Senator Bob Daye. Students researched topics relevant to C alifornia society, and then write and produce a play based on the research results. The p erformances are the culmination of the semesterlong assignment f or the class. The general public is invited, but the production does entail adult language and content. Admission is f ree and seating will be on a first-come, first-served b asis. Those wishing to attend should plan to arrive at the VPAA on La Moree Road at 7 :30pm. �Heading East: Asian Pacific American History Melanie Addington PRIDE STAFF WRITER " Heading E ast," t he t raveling e xhibit t hat w as o n d isplay i n t he C SUSM L ibrary, g raced t he c ampus c ommunity w ith i mages a nd h istory of A sian-Americans.

BE ALL YOU CAN B E www.goarmy.com �Dear Editors, better yet, Dear Students who voted NO on the Health Services Referendum: (Fallbrook, CA). Dear Editors: I wanted to thank all the students who attended the child development workshops. Your registration benefited the ASI Early Learning Center. For those who do not know about the child development workshops, let me fill you in. Every month this semester, speakers from t}ie San Diego County Family Child Care Association have been giving workshops on child issues and education. The I would like to think that your Student Health Services is important to you and is taking sessions included: care of your needs. Dr. Nicholson did say, regarding the compromising of staffing because "Storytelling" by Cheron Yusko - co-sponof the NO vote, they "will not be able to accommodate students..." and it will be "...difficult sored by John C. Paget, CPA (Fallbrook, CA). to provide for twice as many students." Is this the kind of health care you wantfromYOUR Student Health Services? Just take a good look at the health care system in this country! (I Yusko gave a wide range of ideas on how to would love to see it on the ballot; vote no on HMO's and go back to the old way—I'd never tell stories to children of all ages. leave the voting booth). "Stress ant the Young Child" by Bobby Kilbourne - co-sponsored by Fallbrook PharThe Student Health Services has had a positive impact on this campus in taking care of the student's health care needs. It has been a one-on-one healthcare practice, including the macy. Kilbourne reminded us that so many pharmacy department, which is extremely important to any individual.

Surely there are others out With the workshops, refreshments and there who feel as I do. As far as my experience goes, I have had to struggle for my own door prizes were included. The door prizes health care (on the outside). So believe me, students who voted NO on the referendum, it was poor judgment on your part, because the last thing you want here is an understaffed were great and all donated by local businesses. Be sure to thank the following contributors healthcare facility. Understaffing means less or poor quality care. when you see them: Pizza Hut for donating pizza certificates; Someone once told me, "Because of the advancement of the medical technology in these changing times, we have to change with it and welcome these new practices of healthcare" Angel's Landing Resort - A free night; Solid (this was their way to describe poor quality care and understaffing). I replied, "Tell that to Rock Gym Indoor Rock Climbing - Free your heart patients and your AIDS patients, and your sexually transmitted disease patients, passes; North County Gymnastics & The the elderly, the small children who are told they have a 24 hour bug, but die a few days later, Gyminny Kids - Certificate; Hair Attitudes and those who find Out at the last minute that their cancer is too far gone, and last but not - a certificate for the works; Albertson's & least, your everyday patient who just wants that check-up because he or she needs to know Edwards - Certificates; Bobbi Kilbourne Gifts; Kaitlynn Miller - Gift certificate for that the body is functioning okay!"

I wish you could vote again saying that thefirstone did not count --it was just for practice. I am very curious to know why you students who voted NO did so. I realize that you all can't possibly just tell me, and probably do not want to be bothered in doing so, but please, I urge you to respond to this little write up of mine and offer your input, your insights, your reasons behind the negative vote. I almost want to dare you. I can't help to wonder why you would not want more and better services from Student Health Services. Was the vote an issue of money; say, $35.00? I bet you spend way more on junk food all semester! Soda and candy is not cheap. All supported child development and the CSU San Marcos ASI Early Learning Center by giving incentives for people to attend these educational workshops. It's not too late to win one of these exciting door prizes! We still have one more workshop this semester - Thursday, May 11, 2000 at 7:15pm, with Ruthie Hewitt - "Math and Science Can Be Fun". Join us, learn and win! Also, after talking with many, it has been decided that scheduling the trainings for the afternoon rather than evenings is best. Therefore, the workshops next semester will be once a month, on a weekday afternoon, for your convenience. Keep in mind that Ellen Flanagan will visit next semester and talk about "Sensitivity to Child Rearing Values": The date is not yet decided, so watch for announcements in the Pride Calendar of Events and campus posting. Again, thank you to all that have supported and attended the ASI Early Learning Center trainings. Together we're making our community a more knowledgeable place about our developing children! Hope to see you in May! Sincerely, Debbie Nation ASI Childcare Representative Violence Against Women Act Needs Five More Years Darcy Walker Cesar Chavez Day Victor Mireles In 1994, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), a landmark piece of legislation that works at the federal, state and community levels to protect women and childrenfromdomestic violence and sexual assault. Funding provided under this law allowed five years of federal support for programs such as the National Domestic Violence Hotline, which receives more than 8,000 calls per month. Shelters for battered women and rape crisis centers are among the many services made possible by this legislation. I attended the Cesar Chavez and Cinco de Mayo event put on by the CSUSM MEChA club. The event took place at the bottom of the stairs that lead up to the free speech area, and had the support of ASI and the University. Both the ASI and university presidents spoke briefly on the importance of having diversity on campus. Yet, after they left, the event showed its true colors and became a hybrid political and cultural rally. With training also granted by the VAWA, police, judges and court personnel are learning how best to respond to the unique dynamics of domestic and sexually violent crimes. Countless lives have been improved and saved by the programs supported by this legislation. But five years is not enough time to end violence against women, and lives are at risk daily. We cannot afford to close down shelters and hotlines. Thefirstspeaker talked about the suffering that Chicanos have faced for centuries. He said that the defacement of the Che Guevara banner last year was a hate crime because "he was a greatfigurein the struggle forfreedom."The speaker also made a thinly disguised accusation of racism saying that the people complaining about the volume of the music might be doing so because, "they don't like Chicanos expressing themselves." He finally said that his views spoke for all Hispanics. I quickly left the event and wondered what this all meant. Congress is considering a bill to extend funding for the Violence Against Women Act for anotherfiveyears. Since its introduction last year, 171 members of the House have cosponsored H.R. 1248, the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Bill. Locally, Representative Brian Bilbray of the 49th district has shown his support by signing on as a cosponsor in October of last year. However, Reps. Randy Cunningham (51st district) and Ron Packard of the 48th district have yet to make this important commitment. As residents of North County, we rely on these men to speak for us in Congress. Call on them to stand up for women, children, and families. Ask your representative to sponsor and support HR 1248. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, 51st District: Phone: 760-737-8438 Fax: 737-9132 613 W, Valley Pkwy. Ste. 320 Escondidio, 92025 Ron Packard, 48th District: Phone:760-631-1364 Fax:631-1367 22l E.Vista Way Ste. 205 Vista, 92084 Additional district and representative information is located in the blue government section in the yellow pages. Complete information about HR 1248 and any legislation, current or otherwise, can be found on the Internet at http://thomas.loc.gov The sad reality is that MEChA and other groups that proclaim themselves to be victims are worthless organizations. I am a Mexican-American but I am also one who knows that living in the past isfruitless.MEChA claims to support and speak for Chicano views, but I am one Mexican-American who would like to say that they don't speak for me. My family has been living in the United States for over a century. My ancestors came to the U.S. legally around the 1890s and have been productive members of the nation since. My late grandfather fought in the Second World War. We have always regarded ourselves as loyal and proud Americans. Although I respect where I came from I am American first. Mexico happens to be the place where my ethnic group came from. MEChA and other organizations that dwell on past injustices from the U.S. and Europe are doomed because they cannot see that those who move on do succeed/It is easy to complain, but have you done anything tangible to improve the lives of Mexican-Americans? MEChA would be well advised to celebrate Cesar Chayez but not to praise people like Che Guevara. How can a group that wants justice support a man who helped turn Cuba into a repressive, terrorist-sponsoring state? I probably will be called a Twinkie because I do not support MEChA, and I accept that. It will only show how intolerant and shallow they truly are. I hope that when the next Cesar Chavez day rolls around we make it a truly diverse event with dances of all races and ethnic groups and keep the politics out. I think Cesar would have wanted it that way.
