XXI N O. 3 The^Pricle- highlights prominent b lack figuresthr^oughout history BYÉBONIHARVÈY A Pride Staff Writer ^ $ For the e ntire month of February, The Pride will f eature articles ^pertaining to the acknowledgement of Black History Month in relation t o 2 the campus community. This w eek's issue highlights the strides made by h istorical black f igures in bringing awareness to r acial equality and laid the foundation for the country t o elect its f irst black president, Barack Obama. February, also known as Black History Month, seems extra special this year. Electing Barack Obama as the f irst black president is, for this generation, as important and unforgettable as the long list of events and people in black history. Year a fter year, black people continue making strides towards a progressive f uture. Nonetheless, there are several individuals who are precursors to the history made January 20th. President Obama j oins the r anks of these individuals that continue to inspire the cultural experience of a changing world. The premise of Black History Month originated in 1916, when Dr. Carter G. Woodson and Rev. Jesse E. Moorland, co-founders of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, published The Journal of Negro History. The j ournal was a compilation of research the two men conducted to help create awareness of the impact black people played in America. Woodson also published the j ournal in hopes that it would instill pride among the black community. Woodson, himself, was the son of a former slave and the second black person to graduate f rom Harvard University. Woodson advocated for the f raternity Omega Psi Phi to create Negro History and Lit- Lo 56° erature Week in 1920.

For example, I can't stand it when I'm trying to eat some colonel at a certain fried chicken franchise with friends, all the while, little baby loud mouth is screaming his/ her head off and throwing his/her cheaply made plastic toy he/she got with his/her meal.. .at me! We've all been in that situation before, and if you haven't, feel sorry for me and send me a basket offruitto console my terrible fast food experiences. Now, why am I discussing a topic that might have nothing to do with sex? Well, keep reading and I'll tell you! (Jeez, chill out.) Ironically enough, this situation paints a, somewhat, accurate description to what some may have gone through during sex. First, everything is great: you're enjoying yourself and taking part in something that you personally enjoy. Then, all it takes is one fateful action to turn what was once a delicious grilled cheese sandwich into a damp square of cold mush. (Yes, a sandwich filled with cheese... and sex!) So, what is it that causes t hese s udden outbursts of moment destroyers? Is it involuntary? Have you just always wanted to try it? Or are you just misreading your partner? Let's be serious for a bit, sex is a serious and beautiful thing. It is a union that is shared with you and your partner, and hopefully, it is something that you do out of love. That being said, there is nothing at all wrong with enjoying the experience of sharing an intimate moment with your significant other and tailoring to suit your (and your partner's) needs. The only downfall is that you have to know what your partner likes before you try it. For example, "talking dirty" is quite the popular way to spice up one's sex life. But sometimes, you'll find some people out there that don't much care for it, personally, I think it's a little cliché, and preferably, only best suited for Steve Carell's portrayal of a 40-year old virgin. But there are many ways that one can help to give his/her partner "what they like" and receive it in return as well. Whether it be something as adventurous as different positions, to something as simple as the way your partner dresses or expresses themselves. That being said, let's get to know some of our fellow cougar's interests when it comes to sex and relationships. Anonymously, of course. To get a broad sense of what some look for in a partner, I asked variety of people with differing gender identifications and sexual orientations. Name one turn on and one turn off when it comes torelationships: Male, 21, heterosexual: "I love confident girls who are comfortable with themselves and who they are. And I'm definitely not into girls that worry about what they eat." Female, 19, heterosexual: "Plain jealousy is just horrible. I like the "little things," like just calling just, because and visiting me at work. It lets me know that they care." Male, 22, homosexual: "I like someone who can hold a good conversation and is open to trying new things. And I don't like someone who has no "drive" or life goals. They would rather stay home all the time then go out every once in awhile." Name one turn on and one turn off when it comes to sex (if sexually active): Male, 21, heterosexual: "I definitely love girls in heels, because it accentuates their legs and their buttocks. I really don't like girls that are into weird stuff, like role-playing as sexy ninjas or astronauts. Female, 19, heterosexual: "I hate when they only think about pleasing themselves, I'm like, "Hey! What happened to my needs!?" I like constant touching, like cud- dling or just holding each other. The love just keeps coming. Male, 22, homosexual: like when the other gets really "into it" by not holding back their moans and is somewhat aggressive but not overt. I don't like if the other person does not reciprocate or "give back" during sex and is unadventurous when it comes to new sexual positions or techniques." Obviously, these are all individual preferences and are all respected. While anonymous, I applaud this diverse group of people for sharing their experiences with such a sensitive topic. But just remember, whatever you and your sexual partner may enjoy doing, make sure you do it (pun intended) safely and mutually. And never let anyone get you down about what you enjoy doing and talking about, everyone is different and each have their own preferences. Just remember to keep communication with your partner open and free of discomfort. So if your significant other decides to utilize the dreaded whips and chains in your next encounter, talk to them. You are just not into that kind of thing*right?So make sure you tell them that, for the sake of your bum. I love Wikipedia BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer Wikipedia is the infamous database of information that any Internet user can edit. Society has given the online encyclopedia reputation of misinformation and unreliability. Found at wikipedia.org, this free encyclopedia boasts 2,718, 815 articles for any user to edit. Despite all this, I love Wikipedia. Many professors tell me to ignore Wikipedia because it is unreliable and not a valid source for information. As I progress in college, I find more and more ways to use Wikipedia. It is time to embrace Wikipedia for the potential it has as a resource. It is a great place to find pictures and movie posters in high resolution. It is the best place tofindquick information about just about anything from spiders to restaurants.

Spangenberg. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the real Gross Domestic Product decreased by 3.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2008. The current number is based on estimates. The actual GDP is set for release on February 27. The BEA states that the real GDP decreased mainly to a decline in exports, equipment, and software. In order for the United States to officially be in a recession, the real GDP must decrease two quarters in a row. A slumping GDP and a rising unemployment rate are all negative signs for Cougars. Current students must compete with those that were laid off, and even some who seek a second job for additional income. Future graduates might experience difficulty in finding career opportunities. "I lost a lot of money in my stocks, around 3,000 to 4,000 dollars. It was supposed to be money for my graduate school tuition.

DuPont believes that the math lab's real goal is to refine students' basic math skills. "They learn terminology, mixed numbers, improper fractions, and how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide," says DuPont. "The big thing," DuPont believes, "is they get excited about college." The math lab is open Monday and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. No appointments are necessary.

Recyclemania is a nation wide competition between over 500 colleges and universities for the national Recycling and Waste diversion title. CSUSM proudly continues to hold the title it first obtained in 2005. "We got a random e-mail asking if we wanted to join. We didn't know what it was but thought, 'what the heck, let's give it a t ry!'" said Carl Hanson, Department Manager of Custodial Services at CSUSM. "At that point, there were only 43 colleges and universities competing. We won it hands down from start to finish. It astounded us." Recyclemania began in 2001 as a small competition between two Ohio colleges. It contin- ued to spread and gain popularity. This year, Recyclemania includes about 510 colleges and universities. Hanson urges everyone to keep on recycling. Contributions may include plastic bottles number 1-7, cans, glass bottles and jars, cardboard, paper, and pre and post consumer food. The competition runs from January 18 through March 28. Recyclemania consists of different subcategories: gross weight, per capita, and recycle percentage of total refuse. Hanson believes that CSUSM's secret success is due in part to the already established social climate in regards to recycling, adding that, "we didn't have to create something new or try to change attitudes." Carl also offers credit to the cafeteria personnel and the Foundation for the job they do at the beginning of the waste stream. It begins with choosing packaging materials. Years ago, the choice material was Styro- year. foam, which cannot be recycled. • "They have been very enthuRegardless of the downstream siastic and we look forward to effort, if the start is wrong, their contributions," Hanson the end product will ultimately said, adding that Faculty Services Director Ed Johnson also fail.

I appreciate all the ways that they better the community. They bailed me out of situations including flooding sinks, clogged toilets, and broken beds. I would not be able to do my job without the help from these extraordinary men. Any RA can list off many more examples of how the maintenance people came to his/her assistance in a dire situation. Even in simple situations, such as going to check a fire alarm or replace a light bulb, it is reassuring to know I can count on them. Recently, while still completing their daily task, the maintenance crew worked with an outside crew and put in a fountain. The new fountain is beautiful and will be a pleasant sight for anyone who walks by the UVA. Everyone responsible for com- pleting this installation deserves praise. As an RA, I am ready to handle parties, emotional breakdowns, and roommate conflict. Yet, I cannot fix some things. They make my job easier when something goes wrong and a resident needs my help. That is why I must give all thanks to the friendly and hardworking maintenance staff. UniversityVoice Photos by Gabi Martinez ¿¡Pride Staff Wrîtër What does Black History Month mean to you?

The program places each intern with members of Congress who represent California. The application process has several requirements. Students interested in applying must be a junior or senior with a 3.00 GPA or above. Other requirements include a letter of application, a school transcript, and at least two letters of recPhoto courtesy Jenny McDonald ommendation from fac- ulty. After students apply, there is an interview process where CSUSM's committee headed by Erika Kirst, Coordinator of Greek Life and Leadership Programs, interviews applicants to select one student to represent the campus in Washington. There are many benefits from this program. "It is an honor to be part of it because it is unique, only one student is selected from each campus," said Kirst. Another great benefit is that the program pays for the interns' expenses such as housing and air travel. Interns also receive stipends to cover other expenses. "I encourage students to take advantage of this opportunity," Kirst added. Among other benefits, interns can earn up to 20 units during the semester. Last semester, junior Jennifer McDonald was the student representative for CSUSM. McDonald emphasizes that student applicants do not necessarily have to be a specific major. Photo courtesy Jenny McDonald "It is something really beneficial for anyone who wants to work in government, policy, or the media. It is a one of kind opportunity," McDonald said. The Congressional Internship Program is an excellent opportunity to build connections in Washington, D.C. McDonald's internship included many unique experiences such as going to the White House and Congressional hearings. "I got to meet people who write our laws, who have been influential for the past 30 # years," said McDonald. One of McDonald's most mem- orable moments was when, President Bush's Chief of Staff, Joshua Bolten, talked to other interns and her for almost an hour and took questions from them. Another highlight of her experience was to be in Washington, D.C. when historical events such as the 2008 election and the financial bailout occurred.

They will work on the deconstruction of older properties to make way for new ones, and refurbish older houses for new occupants to move into. "It's a whole other level of volunteering," says Jamie Inarda, a CSUSM senior who went on the trip to New Orleans last year. "It's a great way to have fun, make friends, and do something good for a community in need." Another CSUSM student, Kyle Gregory, also attests to the program's benefits. "You get a lot more out of it than you would out of a traditional spring break. It's a fun experience and gives you a sense of accomplishment as well," Gregory said. While the program seems more work oriented than a usual vacation, they make time to have fun as well. This year, in addition to volunteering, the group will take time to visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and watch a Cleveland Cavaliers game. Typically, there are only ten spots available for students to go, and the sign up time is during the fall semester. Though it is too late to sign up for this year's alternative spring break, returning students can still sign up for next year during fall of2009.

BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Editor-In-Cheif Girls, how many times have people told you that you are wasting your time with the guy you always have to call or the one who only wants to see you when he's drunk? How often do you listen? How often do you sit around with your girlfriends analyzing and psychoanalyzing his every word and move?18® Maybe the answer to all your troubles is simple. Maybe, he's just not that into you. , The best seller-made-into-movie formula seems the best way nowadays to increase readership. The Boston Herald claims the book "could save a generation of women who would be wasting their lives waiting by the phone." "Sex and the City"firstcoined the phrase that inspired the book title. In fact, authors Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo worked as writers on the popular show. The countless conversations that took place in the "Sex and the City" writing room inspired this self-help book foj: womeri; Written from the advice of a man, "HJNTIY" "matterof-fact"-ly evaluates the classical scenarios most women go through in the dating world. With chapters entitled "He's Just Not That Into You If He's Not Asking You Out" and "He's Just Not That Into You If He's Disappeared On You," Behrendt promotes a bit of tough love to readers while Tuccillo acts as the voice of understanding, often relaying the "easier said than done" mentality most women may encounter while reading. Though Tuccillo experienced many of the scenarios presented in the book, she ultimately sides with Behrendt's verdict on the matter, citing her failed success rate as proof. At the end of each chapter, Behrendt backs up his advice with statistics. In the chapter entitled "He's Just Not That Into You If He's Not Dating You," Behrendt discredits the excuse that men are afraid of intimacy stating, "100% of guys polled said 'a fear of intimacy' has never stopped W ord(s ) Qwertyuiop /ml U sually t h e t op l ike o f a k eyboard, q wer- them from getting into a relationship." One guy quoted even said, "That's just what we say to girls when we're just not that into them " J? Though the book may come off a bit harsh, it has the best intentions. It offers women the opportunity to have control over their dating life by setting themselves to a new standard. By adopting the principle, "he's just not that into you," women can spare themselves the tears and heartache and take comfort in knowing how to identify the right guy when he comes along. The book motivates women to consider themselves the rule and not the exception when dating. We've all heard the story about the girl who pursued the guy and they ended up living happily ever after or the one where the guy treated the girl he was sleeping with awful for a few years and then one day he realized he loved her. "HJNTIY" commands women to erase these stories from their memory reminding women that they are exceptional but not the exception. Any woman out linflge there stands to benefit from reading the book. Whether you are single, in a relationship, or even married, pick it up and give it a shot. The 150 plus pages are an easy read and even if you yourself are blissfully content with your love life, chances are you hiave a friend out there who could benefit from these words of wisdom.

The answer will differ from man to woman, young to the old, right? Did these vaginas talk to you? What did they say? Eve Ensler would agree that vaginas do indeed talk and they have a lot to say. Well who the hell is Eve Ensler? Her vagina would say that she is many things: a playwright, a feminist, an anti-violence activist, and a vagina advocate. Ensler began writing monologues based on the interviews of nearly 200 women about various topics such as sex, orgasms, and female mutilation centered on what Oprah Winfrey calls the "Va-jay jay." The Vagina Monologues were first shown off-Broadway in 1996 but since its debut, it gained popularity, gaining vagina-friendly fans across the nation. Oh, and yes there are some international vagina advocate proponents as well. After seeing one performance the vagina will no longer be taboo. For Ensler, the vagina is something to be celebrated, cherished, and adored; it should be free from violence and injus- cream in the actual ingredients. A milk chocolate brown radiates from the glass. Wafts of chocolate bliss fill the surrounding air. The liquid enters the mouth and gingerly scrubs the tongue and taste buds.

BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer In tough economic times, Hollywood can count on this weekend for a big haul. This week's line-up features several big name films that will compete for the top box office spot. All the films have potential to be very good and bad. It is just a matter of how far they are willing to go on that spectrum. 0 First on the list is a pair « that I expect to find in the \ Razzies nominations next ^ year. For some reason, Hollywood is still willing to give the Wayne's Brothers money to make movies They have titled their latest abomination "Dance Flick." This genre of lame parodies spawned by "Scary Movie" and continued by the Wayne's Brothers and others such as Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer needs to go away. It makes me sick to see these unoriginal films referencing and exploiting other movies. I will not subject myself to this weak parody of dance movies, and I urge you to do the same. Another waste of money coming out this week is "The Pink Panther 2." Steve Martin returns in this sequel to a remake. Hollywood should not have made thefirstSteve Martin "Pink Panther." The originals are brilliant. The only way movies like "Dance Flick" and "Pink Panther 2" will stop being made is if people stop going to see them.

The Lakers beat the Cavaliers despite Kobe dislocating his finger. They play well despite a string of injuries, and continue to improve their skills (although they need a stronger defense with reliable defensive/offensive rebounding). The Celtic romping of the Lakers in last year's championship series left an indelible sting on Laker morale. Despite last year's loss and obsessive cheers of "Beat LA," the Lakers have assembled an all-star cast of players.

Henry Selick directs this stop motion animatedfilm.Selick produced a few stop motion gems including "The Nightmare before Christmas" and "James and the Giant Peach." Dakota Fanning stars in "Coraline," providing the voice for the main character. The story comes from Neil Gaiman's best selling novella of the same name. It follows Coraline, a young girl who finds a secret door into an alternate reality where fantasy and adventure ensue. I hope that this will be more like Selick's other stop motion films rather than his other movie, "Monkeybone." Dakota Fanning also stars in the slick action film "Push." She least not from the Lakers. * My opinion is biased and does not reflect the views of the NBA. Do not blame me if the Lakers perform poorly. Quality of performance is subject to change.

Michael talks to the interview camera, alone in his office. Michael Scott - At the end of our Christmas parties on Friday I always leave a pair of cookies and milk out on the front desk for Santa, as I am the last to leave. On that following Monday, I rush to the office to see if Santa ate the cookies and drank the milk. Every time I come back, the cookies are always gone, but the milk is still there. Maybe Santa is lactose-intolerant. According to my experience, Santa is lactose-intolerant, which confuses me, because I always wondered how Santa got to be so fat.

Latina Dance Project BY CONSUELO MARTINEZ Pride Staff Writer Students will have the opportunity to participate and learn about the hybrid work of the Latina Dance Project. The Latina Dance Project is a group of four women who bring their unique cultural and social perspectives of Latina life in the United States. The 3-day residency of the piece ""Coyolxauhqui Remembers," will take place at Cal State San Marcos with their f irst event a lecture/demonstration on February 4, 7 p.m. in ARTS 111. "Coyolxauhqui Remembers," a modern tale of Coyolxauhqui, the Aztec moon goddess, "is retold through four stories of victimization, feminization, objectification/dismemberment which are brought together in the myth of the moon goddess," according to the program description. The f irst event at CSUSM will be a performance and lecture where attendees will get a preview of the f ull performance to take place at MiraCosta College on February 6. Marilyn Huerta, the Arts and Lectures Coordinator at CSUSM, says the event at CSUSM is f ree to students and the community and all are welcome to attend. Dr. Arcela Nunez-Alvarez of the National Latino Research Center says, "It is important to support cultural events like the Latina Dance Project because they reinforce the need to recognize our cultural traditions and also remind us how culture is constantly changing.
