CLARIFICATION
As stated in last week’s article, “Winter Session Dropped from
Schedule,” this will be the last year for winter session. The first
sentence in the article clearly stated that; however, the Admissions
Office has received many phone calls from students who misunder­
stood the article.

Rain poured down on the
Dome Plaza on Thursday, where
students from the American
Indian Student Alliance (AISA)
had hoped to conclude their final
day of celebration for Native
American Heritage Month in
November. Dr. Henry Rodriguez,
also known as “Uncle Henry,”
was scheduled to give a blessing
and speak last Thursday, how­
ever, due to the rain, his talk is
now rescheduled for Wednesday
at 1p.m. at the Dome Plaza. Mark
Mojado, who monitors Native
American excavation sites, will
also speak on Wednesday.
AISA npt only organized
the event to celebrate Native
American heritage, but also to
educate other students about
the culture. The event began
Tuesday with storyteller Abel
Silvas, who wore traditional win­
ter regalia, which featured' rab-

bit skins around his waist. He
also played with students on
Founders’ Plaza, tossing fish­
nets over students and catching
them. On Wednesday, students
displayed Native American arti­
facts and replicas on the Dome
Plaza.
Some AISA members, how­
ever, noted that few students
attended the storytelling and dis­
play on Tuesday and Wednesday.
“I’m sorry more people didn’t
take the time to look at this,
because this is local history,”
said Rita Reynolds, a member
of AISA.
AISA members said they
hope that ASI will take on the
planning of next year’s celebra­
tion. “We’d like to have some­
thing on a bigger scale,” said
Stacey Helton, an AISA mem­
ber. “We’re on Luiseno land,
but no one does anything to
acknowledge that. We need to
honor them and respect them.”
Even though Rodriguez, a

Luiseno Indian tribal leader, did
not formally speak on Thursday
because of the rain, he sat in
the Dome among a group of
students from AISA, where he
told them stories about Native
American folklore. “I want to
make my stories become real,
so that people can touch them,
hear them, and feel them,” said
Rodriguez, who said he also
plans to welcome student ques­
tions during his Wednesday talk,
and discuss what is happening
within
the
local
Native-American community.
“Not many people know that
any reservations are around here,
even the people that live here,”
said Rodriguez. “If the locals
don’t know, I thought that maybe
the students wouldn’t know.”
Rodriguez is closely con­
nected to Cal State San Marcos.
In addition to his service as
a community consultant to, the
university, he also received an

The CSU ■ Board of
'
Trustees voted on and approved
a measure on Nov. 13 that will
allow Cal State San Marcos to
begin construction of its first oncampus student housing struc­
ture. The construction is sched­
uled to begin in March 2002,
and should be completed by the
fall of 2003, a timeline similar
to that given for the completion
of the new campus library and
field house.
The simultaneous comple­
tion of these three projects will,
according to Paige Jennings, a
university spokesperson, “ ...
bring a sense of ownership
and belonging to our campus.”
The first campus housing
communities will be built on
a 5.5-acre plot located at East

Barham Drive and Campus View
Drive. The. proposed student
housing project will include
accommodations for 460 stu­
dents, with additional housing
provided for supervising fac­
ulty and staff. The student hous­
ing structures will be divided
between two different models,
arranged by size and price. A
four bedroom, two-bath apart­
ment with communal kitchen
and living quarters will com­
prise one model, and a double
occupancy per room, two bed­
room, two-bath apartment will
be the other option.
The projected cost for the
four-bedroom model is $575 per
month per apartment, and the
shared two-bedroom model will
cost $475 a month. All apart­
ments will range from 1,000 to
1,100 square

Community Scholarships
Available for Spring
ByANNBENING
Pride Staff Writer
This spring, the Office of
Community Service Learning
(CSL) will offer scholarships
to 10 Cal State San Marcos
students. Each of the students
chosen will receive $1,000.
To qualify, students must
have a 3.0 GPA and be enrolled
with a minimum of nine credits.
If the students are incoming
freshman, they must have a
high school grade point average
of 3.3. Cal State San Marcos
encourages students to be
involved in community service,
said Dr. Lynda Gaynor, director
of CSL.
“In serving the community,
students help to make this world

a better place. This experience
also gives exposure to the big­
ger community, and knowledge
of varying lifestyles and socio-.
economic groups. It helps peo­
ple with their struggles.”
Once potential scholarship
students meet the requirements,
a non-profit community agency
will interview them. If the agen­
cy accepts the student, he/she
will enroll in the Service in
the Community course, which is
currently offered under Human
Development 499. This class
meets on alternating weeks dur­
ing the spring semester for read­
ing and structured reflection.
Students must volunteer for
170 hours with the agency of
their choice, which is linked

�M EChA Seeks to Stop Operation Gatekeeper
By STEPHANIE BAIRD
Pride Staff Writer
In light of the upcoming
National Human Rights day on
Dec. 10, Christian Ramirez, lead­
er of the San Diego division
of the Raza Rights Coalition
and a member of the National
Chicano Moratorium Committee,
spoke on campus about ending
Operation Gatekeeper, a policy
enforced in California to keep
illegal immigrants, specifically
those from Mexico, out of the
U.S.
“We didn’t cross the border,
the border crossed us,” lie told
the students who gathered for
Thursday’s talk.
Ramirez discussed how he
believed Operation Gatekeeper

profit organizations from the
extensive file in the Office
of CSL (located in Craven

County Interfaith Community
Service, Upward Bound,
Palomar YMCA Encinitas Lion
Club, and The Dolphin Project
are organizations that have par­
ticipated in the past.
The Dolphin Project cre­
ated a program designed to
help at-risk kids through art,
group sessions, and the use
of dolphin interaction at Sea
World.
Various students have ben­
efited from participating in
this scholarship program. Lisa
Lipsey, a CSUSM student,
worked with Fraternity House,
a home for men and women
disabled by HIV and AIDS.
Lipsey redesigned the agen­
cy logo for stationery, busi­
ness cards and brochures, cre­
ated a newsletter, and planned
major fundraising events for
Fraternity House. As a result
of her volunteer experience,
she was hired as development
director for the organization.
After the students who par­
ticipate in the community ser­
vice learning projects com­
plete the 170 hours of com­
munity service and finished
the required HD 499 coursework, they will be awarded the
$1,000 scholarship.
This is a wonderful oppor­
tunity for students to give to
the community and to give to
themselves, said Gaynor.

grants. He said he hoped his talk
would open students’ eyes, and
make them question what was
right and wrong not only with
Operation Gatekeeper, but with
other policies, the media, and
government activities concern­
ing immigration.
MEChA
(Mexicano
Estudiantil Chicano de Atzlan)
sponsored his talk.
While discussing the history
of Operation Gatekeeper and
its sibling operations, Operation
Safeguard in Arizona, and
Operation Rio Grande in Texas,
Ramirez called the operations
“inhumane policies,” and said
that immigrants are in “mortal
danger” when they decide to risk
traveling through the hot deserts
and freezing mountains to begin
a life in the U.S.

Ramirez ended his presenta­
tion by reminding the group to
question everything they are told
by the media, the government,
and what they heard from his own
presentation. “Those of us who
remain silent are aiding and abet­
ting [those who are committing

American honored with the uni­
versity’s honorary degree. He
also works within the commu-v
nity, having founded the San
Luis Rey Water Authority, and
serving on its board of directors;
he works to promote environ­
mental protection, and to bring
healthcare to Native-Americans
living on California reservations.

Rodriguez also brought the Head
Start program (a child develop­
ment program for low-income
families) to reservations, and has
served as a board member and
consultant to school districts,
helping to educate students about
the Native American culture.
Another educator on Native
American culture, Mark Mojado,
will also speak Wednesday.
Mojado is a Native American
monitor who visits excavation
sites where he works with
archaeologists to preserve Native

American remains and artifacts
that have been found in local
areas.
“We make sure that we can
save a part of history for our
generations,” said Mojado, who
is from the Luiseno tribe. “We
can’t save everything, but we
can save some of them.”
While he was at the Dome,
Rodriguez also gave advice to
students nearing finals week.
“Things get hectic,” he said. “I
go off tb the mountains to think
of all the things that happened,

and I know it’s not the end of
the world. I know that we’re not
going to give up. We may not
have the answer now, but I know
we’ll get it done. God willing,
I’m going to be here tomorrow.”
Students may listen to Rodri­
guez and Mojado speak Wednes­
day at 1 p.m. at the Dome
Plaza for the final installment of
this year’s celebration of Native
American heritage.

tion, as well as cable and phone
services.
University administration
is debating whether or not to
schedule apartment leases to
coincide with future year-round

courses, or to keep the lease cen­
tered upon a more traditional,
9 to 10 month academic year.
If a full-year lease is available,
students can expect to have rent
lowered by $25 dollars a month.
Students, however, should
not expect a tuition increase as a
result of this new housing mea­
sure; according to CSU Board of
Trustees stipulations, the oper­

ation must be self-supporting.
Since the university does not
have collateral equity on already
existing dorm room structures,
a private company, Allen &amp;
O’Hara Education Services LLC
of Memphis, will secure bonds
to build and manage the com­
plex.
Their standing as a major
financier and manager of such

complexes all but guarantees the
prompt and self-supporting oper­
ation to continue on as planned.
Not oniy will Allen &amp;
O’Hara Services LLC fund the
project, through the securing of
bonds, but it will also staff the
facility with managers who will
work hand in hand with student
affairs.

�Fans Mourn the Loss of Georgi
By JAMES NEWELL
Pride Staff Writer
“I look at you all, see the
love there that’s sleeping, while
my guitar gently weeps.” The
optimistic songwriter of these
beautiful and hopeful lyrics left
us this past week.
On Thursday afternoon after
a long battle with cancer, George
Harrison, the lead guitar player
and songwriter for the 1960s enig­
matic pop group, The Beatles,
died at age 58.
Beatle fans throughout the
world mourned the loss of the
“quiet Beatle.” Although he never
specifically wanted to be known
as an icon of pop culture, Harrison
quietly added his mystical influ­
ence to the Beatle’s music, help­
ing to create the sound that won
the world over.
“I never asked to be famous, I
just wanted to be successful,” said
Harrison. The extent to which the
Beatle’s music touched people is
emphasized by the fact that mil­
lions of Beatle fans were bom
after the 1970 break-up of the
group.
From Liverpool, the birth­
place of the Beatles, to the
Penny Lane, a British pub in
San Marcos, candles burned and
thoughts of peace echoed out as
fans said goodbye to Harrison,
showing the reach that his love
spanned.
After beating throat cancer
in 1998, Harrison was diagnosed
with various forms of cancer,
including a brain tumor, and had
been battling for the last two
years. He died in the home of
a family friend in Los Angeles
with his wife, Olivia, and son,
Dhani, by his side.

Harrison, the youngest mem­
ber of the Beatles, is the second
of the Fab Four to pass on? leav­
ing only Paul McCartney and
Ringo Starr to carry on the lega­
cy. John Lennon was shot and
killed by a crazed fan in 1980.
“While My Guitar Gently
Weeps,” “I Me Mine,” “Here
Comes the Sun” and “Something”
are some of the timeless songs
Harrison wrote as a Beatle.
“He is really just my baby
brother,” McCartney said about
Harrison in a CNN interview.
Once he accepted the unwav­
ering explosion of Beatlemania,
Harrison began using the medi­
um of music and song writing
to express his deep spiritual and
peace loving nature, eventually
Give me Love

Give me Peace on Earth
Give me Life

Give me Hope

George Harrison

taking the group to India to
meet the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
“Get back to where you once
belonged,” are lyrics from the
upbeat pop song “Get Back,”
and casually portray some of
Harrison’s Eastern religious
beliefs.
The influence of Indian mys­
ticism flowed from Harrison and
can be heard on a number of

Beatle albums, most notably on
“The White Album.”
“I wasn’t smiling ... by
pigeonholing me, they (fans and
the media) missed out on some
of the little jokes in my songs,”
said Harrison, commenting on
his label as the quiet and spiritual
Beatle.
Regularly known as the over­
shadowed one in the Beatles,
Harrison was known more for
his virtuosity in music, com­
pared to the extroverted person­
alities of his former band mates
were known for. Although he was
known to stay more aloof and
behind the scenes, he was never
underestimated by musicians and
was known by close friends as
witty, cracking jokes up until the
day he passed on.
After the breakup of the
Beatles, Harrison embarked on
a successful solo career. The
same year The Beatles disbanded
Harrison released “All Things
Must Pass” his first solo album.
The single “My Sweet Lord”
marked the first top hit by a for­
mer Beatle. Harrison went on to
record “Somewhere in England”
in 1981 and “Cloud Nine” in
1987.
In 1971, after being inspired
by Ravi Shankar, a famous Indian
sitar player, Harrison organized
The Concert for Bangladesh,
which became rock’s first major
charity event. After years of legal
problems linked to a Beatle tax
investigation, the benefit eventu­
ally raised $10 million, and the
recording of the last day of the
concert won Harrison his first
Grammy. Shankar, who played
at Woodstock, is credited with
bringing the sitar to rock music,
playing with rock legends like.

Punk Rock Hits Cox Arena
By KEVIN HAWK
Pride Staff Writer
What do you get when you throw a
couple thousand yelling, screaming, and
sweaty young adults in an arena with the
bands No Use For A Name, Face to Face,
and Pennywise? A solid punk rock show
with just a little bit of anarchy.
The Line and Guttermouth opened
last Saturday night, but the show really
began when No Use for a Name sparked
the crowd with “Justified Black Eye,”
then moved to a sing-along favorite,
“Soulmate.” With clean transitions and
crisp sounds, No Use for a Name played
one of the best sets of the night.
Yet, the real excitement began with
the fourth band of the night. Despite their
so-so performance at the Cox Arena,
an eager crowd began rushing the floor
level once Face to Face appeared on
stage. The audience cheered as anarchy
broke loose.
Security tried to contain the audience
by quickly turning on the arena lights
and cutting lead singer Trever Keith’s
vocals. Cheers quickly turned to deep
boos. After arena officials ignored pleas
from Keith, they forced Face to Face to
finish out their set in the fully lit arena.
Many were disappointed by securi­
ty’s attempts to contain the show. When
Face to Face appeared on stage, I heard
a voice behind me say, “This is who I

came to see.” I had to agree. Every time
I see Face to Face, they put on a highenergy show. Despite intentional techni­
cal problems caused by arena officials,
Face' to Face played a solid set.
However, there were more than tech­
nical problems for Face to Face. For the
first time since early 1991, Face to Face
played as a three-man band. Hindered
by the recent departure of lead guitarist
Chad Yaro, Scott Shiflet of Face to Face
had to unstrap his bass and play guitar.
The rest of the night was a bit more
tame, but still a great show. As headlin­
ing band Pennywise appeared on stage
with dozens of family and friends, the
entire arena jumped to their feet. Lead
singer Jim Lindberg, interacted with the
crowd all night, continually dousing the
front rows with water during the entire
set.
Rather than playing a set list,
Pennywise turned to the audience for
requests. In between songs “Fun and
Games” and “Pennywise,” guitarist
Fletcher Dragge ignited the crowd with
obscene statements aimed at Osama bin
Laden.
Before closing with the signature
“Bro Hymn” anthem, Pennywise invited
those who’d permanently declared their
devotion in the form of tatoos onstage.
With lighters raised and arms around
each other, the bro hymn choir sang their
last respects.

Shankar had told Harrison
of the people’s suffering in
Bangladesh, which sparked the
creation of the benefit concerts
and accentuates the giving nature
of Harrison.
After a number of years out
of the spotlight, Harrison record­
ed an album with Tom Petty,
Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne and Roy
Orbison under the name The
Traveling Wilburys, which won
Harrison his second Grammy.
“He was like the sun, the
flowers and the moon, and we
will miss him enormously,” said
Bob Dylan in a CNN web arti­

cle.
Although it is sad to see his
untimely departure from our cor­
poreal world, family, friends and
fans may find comfort by remem­
bering his strength in spiritual
mysticism, exemplified in songs
like, “The Art of Dying” and his
belief that everyone may one day
meet again.
“I don’t know what as. You go
on being reincarnated until you
reach the actual Truth. Heaven
and Hell are just a state of mind,”
said Harrison.

�H ot Chowder at the Beach
By AMY GRANITE
Pride Staff Writer
What sounds better than a
salty sea breeze on your face
while you sip a hot cup o f
clam chowder during sunset? Not
much, if you enjoy fresh sea­
food and the cliff top view from
the Harbor Fish Cafe on Coast
Highway in Carlsbad. You can
sit outside, facing the ocean, or
under an awning. Either way,
you will enjoy what this casual
restaurant has to offer.
A perfect meal at the Harbor
Fish Cafe begins with a cup
or bowl of New England Clam

Chowder. I consider myself to be
a qualified critic in the chowder
department, considering I order
it at every seafood restaurant I
frequent, in search of the best.
This chowder is creamy and rich,
with big chunks of potatoes and
fresh clams harvested from local
waters. The flavor is unlike any
other clam chowder I have had,
and it is always blisteringly hot,
which makes it taste even better.
The chowder is $2 per cup, which
makes it even more enjoyable.
To top it off, order a side of
grilled sourdough bread for only
50 cents, which is great for dip­
ping.

Next, I suggest the fish tacos the traditional taco and is more offers various daily specials —

Tis the Season to Make Bon Bons
By AMY GRANITE
Pride Staff Writer
The holidays are a time when foods
and desserts bring about family closeness
and create traditions that can be passed
down from generation to generation. One
such recipe that my family has enjoyed
year after year during the holiday season
is the desert dish, Bon Bons.
Not only are Bon Bons rich and deli­
cious, but the preparation of the candy is
artistic, fun, and everyone in the family
can help while listening to holiday music
and enjoying each other’s company.
To make Bon Bons, you will need the
following ingredients:
1 bag o f shredded coconut
1 stick o f margarine
2 boxes o f powdered sugar
2 small cans o f Eagle Brand sweetenedcondensed milk
1 bag o f Ghiradelli semi-sweet chocolate
chips (if you prefer milk chocolate use
that)
1 stick o f cooking wax (can be purchased
at any grocery store in the “
Baking
Needs” section)
White chocolate chips or cubes
lbag o f walnuts (optional)
ljar o f Marchino cherries (optional)
The materials you will need include:
A large bowl
One medium size stove pot
One small pot
Toothpicks
Waxpaper
The first step in Bon Bon prepara­
tion will be to combine the condensed
milk, margarine, and powdered sugar.
The easiest way to mix these ingredients
is to use a cake mixer; if you do not have
one, stir until the mixture is fluid. After
this is mixed, add coconut, chopped
walnuts, chopped cherries and vanilla
for flavor.
At this point, you can continue to
use the cake mixer, but I have overheated
one this way because the mixture is so
thick. Don’t be afraid to mix with your
hands! It is the best way to get an even
consistency and you get to lick your
fingers.
After the filling is done, put it in
the refrigerator or freezer to chill so the
mix can harden. Having firm Bon Bon
filling will be essential for the next step
of preparation, dipping the candies.
While your Bon Bon filling is chill­
ing in the icebox, you have plenty of time
to prepare the dipping chocolate.
The first step is to bring half of the
medium pot of water to a full boil. Next,
take the smaller pot and place it in the
medium sized one so that the bottom

Hi

Time Is Now
By CHRIS ING
Pride Staff Writer
In the wake of Sept. 11 we,
as a nation and as individuals,
are left with more questions than
answers. “How could this happen
to us, here?,” “Why would some­
one want to do this?” Beneath all
the conjecture and socio-political-economic banter, we still
don’t have firm answers. Maybe
the politicians and scholars can
momentarily placate us with
answers more complex than the
questions, but try giving a mean­
ingful answer to a five-year-old
(often the most insightful judge),
and my bet is you come up
short.
Clearly, this tragedy
^
bears great significance.
Even the most faithless
person would be hardpressed not to see these
events as a call to examine
our lives and our place in
the world. Recent media
reports tell of students who
have suddenly changed
academic paths, people in
the workforce who now
eschew the corporate
world to pursue the pipe dream
they never thought possible.
The events on 9-11 represent
a tremendously precious oppor­
tunity to set our sights inward
- collectively and individually
- and consider where we place
meaning, what we hold sacred,
why we often clutter our lives
with the inessential and the
tedious. The choices we make in
life reflect who we are. They are
filled with power and portent.
We do ourselves, and our world,
a disservice by denying our own
voices or devaluing our con­
tributions, however seemingly
small.
Certainly, action must be
taken against those who helped
to orchestrate and execute the
attack. I doubt many people dis­
agree on this point. And I have
no answers about what is right
or wrong in this case. But I
think we could be more careful
and imaginative in our proposed
solutions to these issues. Our
country is founded on creativity

and imagination - why not cre­
ate responses that reflect these
attributes. They bomb us, we
bomb them. Even those of us
slumbering through our classes
know how this scene ends. Let’s
strive for better.
The lives lost in the attacks
are irreplaceable; surely we
aren’t so callous and shortsight­
ed to imagine that bringing the
terrorists to justice will some­
how make us feel better. Such a
scenario may temporarily relieve
us, but it will never compensate
for the pain, suffering and loss
we have endured. So what is it
that we want? The same things
our country was founded on:

We’ve had the imagination to
put people on the moon and cam­
eras on Mars; are we really so
gullible to believe that we can’t
produce a more viably efficient
engine than the same internal
combustion model that Henry
Ford tinkered with? Without a
need for oil, there is no need to
be involved in a conflict that has
been raging long before we are
dirtied our hands in it, and will
no doubt continue long after we
leave.
And while we are pulling
out of the Middle East, let’s
pull our military out of other
foreign countries as well - ski­
ers in Italy will certainly feel
safer. Why do we have
a military installation
in Italy anyway? Ever
wondered? Imagine
America’s response to
France having a base
at Miramar? Sound
absurd? - Absolutely.
With more time and
resources saved we
could consider our
own problems rather
than turning a blind
eye to them under the
guise of national security.
Has racism vanished here
in the U.S. since Sept. 11?
How about sexism? Classism?
Homophobia?
Poverty?
Depression? Addiction? These
last two would be considered
luxuries in most countries. The
list of our own maladies is as
long and as urgent as those of
any other nation. Why aren’t
we brave enough, creative
enough, and strong enough to
find solutions for ourselves? We
don’t need conflicts from other
nations; we have a plethora of
our own.
So when you are out in the
world, consider your actions.
Take the time to be a friend,
to be a lover, or to listen to
someone who only wants to be
heard. We all want to be need­
ed. We all want to know we
are important and we matter.
Better your world by knowing
what is important and discard­
ing the rest. The time for change
is now.

‘Why aren’t we brave
enough,creative
enough, and strong
enough to fin d solu­
tions fo r ourselves?”
life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness. We don’t want to be
worried about terrorist attacks
or biochemical warfare - these
are the things of nightmares.
Yet it is these very things we
cling to in hopes of a solution. A
functional definition of insanity
is a person who does the same
thing over and over again, hop­
ing for a different result. War
creates war. It’s a simple equa­
tion. Certainly, we’ve learned
this. So, what can we do?
We can start by reducing our
need for oil. By anyone’s reckon­
ing, oil is the prime reason we
became involved in this conflict
in the first place. Iraq, Iran,
Saudi Arabia - there is only one
reason to cultivate diplomatic
relations With these countries. I
don’t suggest we look for alter­
nate sources of oil here stateside,
either. I push for alternative
fuel engines. There are hybrid
cars on the roads today that
already employ such technology.
Detroit is waiting in the wings.

CSUSM Claims
Diversity but
Lacks It
We are writing in response
to the lack of language pro­
grams offered in this university.
As you may well know, Spanish
is the only foreign language in
which there is a major and minor
offered. The only other lan­
guage program CSUSM offers
is a minor in French. Programs
such as Germaiv with 60 to
70 students, have been working
to establish a minor; however,
as the World Languages
Department refuses to support
these languages with as much
passion as they do Spanish, they
are struggling to build their pro­
grams. Other universities in San
Diego recognize the importance
of supporting a variety of lan­
guage programs. CSUSM seems
to be lacking in this area.
As students of the univer­
sity, we are frustrated that our
study of language is limited.
It seems that we are not given
many choices. There is no incen­
tive for many students to begin
studying a language other than
Spanish because we cannot hope
to achieve some recognition for
our work (like a minor or major).
Even in instances where a minor
may be in place, the classes
needed to fulfill it are constant­
ly cancelled or cut out of the
budget. How can you learn a
language when you are not per­
mitted further study of it? It
is frustrating to have to take
the same class over and over
again in order to keep up with
a language other than Spanish.
We need to progress.
In light of the recent events
of Sept. 11, we, as Americans,
have learned that we don’t know
as much about other countries,
their cultures, their religions,
and their languages as they do
about us. To become better citi­
zens of the world we must study
and strive to learn about them
in the same capacity that we

expect others to know about
Americans. The university has
an obligation to recognize this
importance.
As an institution of higher
learning CSUSM must at least
offer students the opportunity to
learn about languages and cul­
tures of the world. In CSUSM’s
mission statement it outlines
a vision to give students the
knowledge and skills to succeed
in a global society. How can,
it hope to achieve this goal?
By not offering a variety of lan­
guage programs and classes, the
World Languages Department
is limiting the study of lan­
guage and culture past the inter­
mediary level to one language:
Spanish.
Although Spanish is a very
important language and culture
to study (especially in San
Diego,) alone it will not help
in creating a global society. As
students we ask that the uni­
versity work to offer and sup­
port a wider range of language
programs. We ask that we be
given a choice of languages to
study and excel in. We ask that
this university help prepare us
to become a part of a global
society that has a variety of
people, languages, cultures, and
religions. CSUSM claims that it
has diversity, but in truth we are
lacking it.

More Students Respond to
“Humanitarian Aid Kills People”
I am writing in response
to “Humanitarian Aid Kills
People,” by David J. Ludwig. In
brief summary of the article, the
author is expressing that the aid
given to starving people, human­
itarian aid, will, in the end,
caused harm. The harm being
cause would arise when eco­
nomic or food supply of the coun­
try will become dependent on it;
therefore people will die.
This information supplied
contradicts the information given
by the Institute for Food and
Development Policy, They indi­
cate that the idea of scarcity of
food is a myth. There is enough
food. The article explains that

developing countries have food
in abundance. The world today
produces enough food for 4.3
pounds per person, 2.5 pounds
of grain, beans and nuts,‘a pound
of fruits and vegetables, and a
pound of meant, milk, and eggs.
The problem of starving people
is not us giving handouts of
food, but the costs large food
corporations are placing on the
farmers. The countries have the
food, but they cannot afford it.
Corporations are putting money
into the country’s land where
export crops are being grown;
thus, leaving little aid to land
that grows food for the owners
of the land.

In place of assisting the
countries with handouts of food,
the humanitarian need is to assist
the countries and starving peo­
ple with the production of crops
on their land. They need eco­
nomic assistance in order to pur­
chase their crops.

Scarcity the Reality — There is
Enough Food,” can be found in

Sending Aid Shows Support, Not Murder
This is in response to
the article, “Humanitarian Aid
Kills People.” I believe that we
know that by sending food we
will not save all the starving
people; but by sending “humani­
tarian aid” we are showing our
support, and that we also care

about what happens to these
people.
I also believe that it
would be quite difficult for a
country as wealthy and power­
ful as ours to just stand back and
know that these people are dying
of starvation, when we can obvi­

ously send what we can. I do not
think this is a matter of saving
each and everyone of the starv­
ing humans in the world, but it is
about common courtesy.
