Cinco de M ayo Celebration Held on C ampus M ay 2 nd
By CLAUDIA IGNACIO
Pride Staff Writer
For the third year in a row,
Cal State San Marcos celebrated
Cinco de Mayo. The event, however, was celebrated,on May 2
in collaboration with Associated
Students Inc., MEChA, Assistant
Dean of Students Tim Bills, and
Ballet Folkl6rico Mixtlan.
"Since Cinco de Mayo was
on a Saturday, we decided to have
the event on Wednesday so that it
would attract more students," said
Yesenia Balcazar, current dance
instructor for Ballet Folklorico.
The event attracted approximately 80 students, faculty and
staff. "It was a very colorful,
beautiful representation of the
culture," said senior Mary
Bernard.
The program included singing by El Chute, Balcazar's dad,
and her sister, Norma Balcazar.
"I have been singing professionally for five years," said Mario
Balacazar, El Chute. "I introduced my daughters to this environment when they were little.
Now I am very happy to see
them perform."
Ballet Folklorico Mixtlan, a
dance troupe, performed dances

such as La Bruja,
La Bamba from
Veracruz, and the
well known Jarabe
Tapatio, el Sol de
la Negra and Los
Machetes.

is made up of nine
members; half of
them are Cal State
San Marcos students and the other
half from the community.
A main speaker for the event
was
Ricardo
Favela, president
of MEChA. He
told his personal
story of how his
parents bought a
mariachi suit for
him when he was
in
elementary
school.
"When
Cinco de Mayo
came around they
told me to put on
the mariachi suit."
He was expected
to wear it to school
and was the only

one of his classmates who celebrated the day at his
school. "I was very
ashamed that I was
the only one . .. but
today I stand here
very proud to celebrate Cinco de
Mayo," said Favela.
Cinco de Mayo is
not Mexico's independence
day,
which is celebrated
on September 16.
"Cinco de Mayo is
a celebration of a
battle in which the
French army was
attempting
to
invade Mexico/It's

a day in which Mexicanos united
and organized to defeat the most
powerful, foreign enemy. This
is why it's such a significant date
for Mexico and for our people,"
said Favela.
"It is a very important event
to remember, being that we are
so close to Mexico. We need to
appreciate the significance that it
has to the Mexican community,"
said junior Angela Magana. "It is
also a good way to preserve culture."
Sophomore Ana Gabriela

CSUSM Welcomes
New Director of
Registration &amp; Records

New Water Tank Saves Energy
By CLAY BABER
Pride Staff Writer
While walking to your car,
you may have noticed the new
water tank being constructed
near the parking lot. According to
Russell Decker, CSUSM's Director of Planning Design and Construction, the tank is called a
"Thermal Energy Storage or TES
tank." This TES tank is designed
to hold a large capacity of chilled
water that will be used by the air
conditioning units on campus.
The construction of the TES
tank is in response to the current
energy crisis in California. "The
tank adds capacity to our cooling system; therefore, we do not
have to r^n our chillers during
the day when electricity is most

costly," said Decker.
According to Dave Dennis,
Assistant Director of Planning,
Design and Construction, "once
the tank is completed, over one
million gallons of chilled water
can be stored." This water is
chilled at night when the electricity rates are lower, thus providing an alternative to the current process of operating the
chillers during the day.
"CSUSM
has
received
$875,000 dollars from San Diego
Gas &amp; Electric to offset the $2
million dollar construction costs
for the TES tank," said Decker.
This grant is provided because
CSUSM is taking steps to reduce
the demand for energy during the
peak mid-day hours. According
to Decker, "the remaining con-

struction costs will quickly be
made up in saved energy costs."
Decker also added, "The stored
water could also be useful in the
event of an emergency such as
an earthquake or fire."
"Construction was initially
scheduled for earlier this year,"
explained Dennis, "but the heavy
rains delayed everything for
about two months." Chicago
Bridge and Iron, of Clairemont,
began construction of the 80by 40-foot tank three weeks
ago. Foreman Paul Tackett said
that the structural work should
be completed within a week.
According to Dennis, additional
work such as insulation, piping
and painting the TES tank
pushed the projected completion
date into early August.

Enthusiasm, energy, and a
customer-service background
are key traits that Martha Ann
Haney brings to her new job
as Director of Registration and
Records. One of the main goals
in her position, Haney said, is
to serve the students.
"The school is growing so
fast and has some wonderful
goals," said Haney about her
impression of the university.
Haney added, "I'm so excited
to be a part of it." She said
her transition to CSUSM, which
began May 1, has been incredibly smooth since everyone has
been very helpful towards her.
There are nine staff members
that Haney oversees.
The New Jersey native
brings her experience in the
field of college student records

SpringFest Arrives at Cal State:

their Second Annual SpringFest

Caribbean carnival, live music,
a f un run for kids, and games
andfood.
Last month, a morning storm
brought hail and rain out to the
SpringFest, originally scheduled
for April 21. Last minute cancellations hurt ASFs budget for the
festival.
"Trying to be prepared, we
had [the] Facilities [department]
set up everything the night
before. We had a huge stage, a
canopy and all the bathrooms set
up already," said Brad Schmidt,
ASI's club services technician.
When rain struck, CSUSM facilities staff and ASI members
scrambled to bring the valuable

indoors,
Although the total bill for rentals
and labor has not yet come in,
Schmidt said, "It was a pretty
good hit."
With a little adjustment,
including a smaller stage setup,
ASI was able to reschedule the
event, keeping the original
line-up of events nearly intact,
"We are working with student
funds, so we try to be as thrifty

as possible," Schmidt said. One
feature, the Battle of the Bands,
had to be rescheduled for May 21
because many of the performers
were unavailable on Saturday,
Probably the most anticipated
attraction was the Caribbean Carnival. The Trinidad-style carnival reenactment was researched,
produced and performed by Professor Loni Berry's theater arts

The Pride

Founders of Chiapas Media Project Present Films
By NATHAN FIELDS
Pride Feature Editor
Alexandra
Halkin ajid
Francisco Vazquez, founders of
the Chiapas Media Project, presented three indigenous community-made films to a full auditorium in ACD 102 on Thursday,
May 3.
Professor Anibal YanezChavez introduced the presentation, explaining that the Chiapas
Media Project "is a bi-national,
US-Mexico partnership that provides video equipment, computers and training, enabling indigenous communities in southern
Mexico to create their own media
and tell their stories from their
own perspective."
Before and after the showing
of the three films, "Sacred Land,"
"Silence of the Zapatistas" and
"Defending the Forests," Halkin
' and Vazquez spoke on the work
of the media project that began
in 1998. The films document,
respectively, the plight of the
landless indigenous farmers in
Chiapas, the Zapatista's negotiations with the Mexican government, and deforestation in the
state of Guerrero by transnational corporations dating back
to the 1950s.
Halkin, a native of Chicago
who has a background as a
video producer, said, "We did not

create these films. These films
came directly from the indigenous communities. We only provided them the equipment and
taught them how to express themselves through it." She explained
that the idea for the project first
occurred to her when working
on a documentary in Chiapas
in 1995. Finding herself working repeatedly in areas with hundreds of news camera crews, she
noted that she "could see that
the indigenous people were very
conscious that their images were
being recorded and taken away."
"I realized that this has been
the most documented indigenous movement in the history of
the world," said Halkin, "and it
amazed me to think that these
people had no, access to the necessary equipment to tell their
own stories. And they need to tell
their own stories because we cannot just depend on white people
to go down and represent these
indigenous communities accurately."
Halkin began speaking with
numerous groups and organizations, including the US-Mexico
Fund for Culture, that supported
her first efforts for indigenous
self-representation in a 1998
media project involving youth
from Chicago, Mexico City and
Oaxaca. The project documented
14 days within the community of

Morelia, Chiapas. "The capacity
to produce videos in Morelia
empowered the indigenous community to present their own view
of themselves both nationally and
internationally," said Halkin.
Vazquez, a native of Mexico
City, met Halkin during the 1998
Chiapas Media Youth Project and
moved to Chiapas two years ago.
He explained how the process of
making the films begins and ends
within the communities' governing assemblies and mirrors the
highly democratic forms of consensus governing that Zapatista
communities are respected for.
Subject matter for the films is
generated within the assemblies
and the finished films are offered
to the communities for review
and possible alteration before
they are distributed or shown
publicly.

Singleton Bridget Jones Decides to
Take a Turn at Living Life
By MELANIE ADDINGTON
Pride Editor
I rarely get the chance to rave
about a f ilm, primarily because
most films nowadays are just
mediocre. One thing is for certain: "Bridget Jones's Diary"
is splendid. From a fantastic
script, to impressive actors, this
film easily could have turned
into another mushy romance, but
escapes mediocrity because of
the brilliant wit that exudes from
all of the characters.
What one might notice first
abut . this spectacular film is
Renee Zellweger's stunning performance as Bridget Jones. She
not only pulls off a convincing
British accent, something that
other Americans (such as Kevin
Costner) fail at miserably, but
also her character is not perfect.
Bridget Jones smokes too much,
drinks too much and babbles
incoherently under pressure; yet,
Zellweger charms not only the
audience but also, two very attractive bachelors, played by Hugh
Grant and Colin Firth.
What is refreshing about
Grant's character, Daniel Cleaver,
is that he is a jerk. Women
always fall in love with Grant's
characters because he always
plays a sweet, lovable man. In
"Four Weddings and a Funeral,"
he played a commitment-phobic
man but managed to make the
audience love him for i t In a
reversal of emotion, in "Bridget

Jones's Diary" we easily resist
Grant's charms knowing that
he not only shies away from
commitment but also hurts our
beloved Bridget Jones.
Then there is Darcy, played
by Firth. Not unlike the hard-tolove Mr. Darcy of "Pride and
Prejudice," Mark Darcy is a
brooding, quiet man. The first
time I saw the film, I almost
wished that Cleaver would
become a nicer guy and get the
girl because Darcy just seemed
too much of a prude. The second
time I saw the film, however, I
began to fall in love with Darcy's
soft-spoken eloquence and kind
generosity that he showers onto
Bridget Jones.
Jim Broadbent plays the sad
sack dad of Bridget, and is
soon to star in the upcoming
film "Moulin Rouge." Between
Broadbent and Gemma Jones
(Jones's mother) it becomes
apparent why Bridget is so odd
yet wonderful. Both Broadbent
and Jones breathe new life into
what easily could have turned
into a generic storyline. Her parents, being Bridget's role model
for relationships, are frightening
at first, but then when they are
able to work their own problems
out, it becomes clear that, at least
in this film, love wins.
The group* including Tim
Bevan that produced "Four
Weddings and a Funeral" and
"Notting Hill," also produced
"Bridget Jones's Diary." When I

first heard that, I almost turned
away from watching this film
because I could not handle another perfect romance with Hugh
Grant as the gorgeous dream man
who elegantly stumbles over his
words. Luckily, this film shies
away from the romantic comedy
norm and embraces its own
feminist style while being a
unique version of "Pride and
Prejudice."
According to the Internet
Movie Database (IMDB), "aside
from bearing a resemblance to
Jane Austen's 'Pride and
Prejudice,' the film also features
a number of veterans of Austen
film adaptations." Screenwriter
Andrew Davies also, wrote the
screenplay for the 1995 film
"Pride and Prejudice."
Hugh Grant and Gemma
Jones both appeared in "Sense
and Sensibility." Colin Firth, who
plays Mark Darcy, played Mr.
Darcy in "Pride and Prejudice."
Also according to IMDB, in
the film "Daniel Cleaver (Grant)
and Bridget Jones (Zellweger)
work for Pemberley Press.
Pemberley is the name of
Fitzwilliam Darcy's estate in
"Pride and Prejudice."
Helen Fielding, executive
producer and co-writer of the
screenplay, also wrote the original novel about a 32-year-old
woman who discovers that being
herself—is the true path to
romance.

Vazquez continued by saying that, "These people have to
work as farmers during the day
and fit time in to create films
after their crops are tended to.
For this reason, we end up with a
self-representation which is really authentic and very unique."
Vazquez explained that the
media project was crucial
because "the way in which the
mainstream media is presenting
the lives of these people is full of
misunderstandings and lack of
information. This is because the
corporate media is not interested
in what is really happening; they
are interested in profit. That's
why it's important for the indigenous to be able to tell their
own stories, and for us to make
an equal effort in reaching audiences. Otherwise their efforts
would be useless."

"It is our duty to help get this
technology and training to these
people specifically because they
are unrepresented," said Halkin.
"In order to have real democracy and discussion in this world,
everyone has to have access to
this technology. We should all
be represented and be on a level
playing field," she continued.
The project remains financially challenged explained
Halkin, who passed around a
donation bag at the presentation
and displayed videos, indigenous
handicrafts and clothing for sale.
"I mean, no foundation will give
me funding to give cameras to
Zapatistas."
Since 1998, Halkin reports
that the Chiapas Media Project
has provided countless hours of
training, 50 digital video cameras, three VHS linear editing systems and a fully-outfitted media
center in San Cristobal de Las
Casas, Chiapas to the indigenous
peoples of Mexico.
The presentation of the
Chiapas Media Project and their
films was sponsored by
CSUSM's Center for Border and
Regional Affairs and was made
possible in part by the university's Global Affairs Committee
and the Visual and Performing
Arts Department.

What is wonderful about
films is how you can relate to
the main character. As a single
woman, this film refreshes my
spirit because Bridget Jones is
a regular person. Unlike the perfect archetypal female in most
romantic comedies, she screws
up a lot. This gives me hope that I
too can find someone like Darcy
who, after reading in Bridget's
diary that she hates him, goes
out and buys her a new diary
to start their relationship over.
"Bridget Jones's Diary" is playing now in theaters and is rated
R by the MPAA for language
and some strong sexuality.
t h e Web Site
Films rarely come out these
days without some package deal.
"Bridget Jones's Diary" is no
exception.
On the official web site
at http://entertainment.msn.com/
bridget, those singletons who
cannot get enough of the movie
can enjoy trailers, sound bites,
pictures, biographies and all the
generic rubbish that goes into
a film web site. However, the

c&amp;gwf

standard was not quite enough
for our Ms. Jones, so included in
the site are a list of quotes from
famous single women, and a
fun personality quiz that answers
"How Bridget Jones are You?"
There are also "Bridget's
Britishisms" explained, which
was quite useful since I still had
no idea what a "tarts and vicars"
party really meant after seeing
the film twice.
t h e Soundtrack
I am a soundtrack junkie. I
will buy soundtracks of films
I hate because the music is so
good, and I often make the mistake of buying a soundtrack to
a film I love, only to discover
I do not love the soundtrack.
Right after the first time I saw
the film, I bought the music. The
soundtrack is just okay. It does
have some great covers from
Sheryl Crow and others, but just
does not have the energy to keep
up with the great memory of
the hilarious film. However, it is
good music but doesn't quite capture the true essence of Bridget
Jones.

After a long season, the men's
golf team showed some cougar
power, t he men's golf team
won the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) Western Regional tournament on April 26 at the Black
Horse Golf Course in Seaside, a
54-hole event on a 6,593-yard,
72-par course.
"Last year, we won the NAIA
regional," said head golf coach
Fred Hanover, "This year, I look
for my team to play at or near
their potential."
Prior to the regional, NAIA
ranked the men's golf team sixth
in the nation. The team said
that every tournament that they
played prepared them for the
challenges and competition they
faced at the regional. Now, as
they prepare for the nationals,
they will work as a team to bring
home the trophy. "We have an
excellent chance to win, if we
play well," said Brett Dolch, who
led his team as the top individual
player (223).
Dolch, who has played golf
since he was eight years old,
came from Orange County to
play golf and to get his degree

The subsections include boat
and crew lists where owners can
tell the community that they
are looking for people to sail
on their boats, and people can
indicate their sailing experience
and what kind of boats they
would like to sail. There are
also pages for detailed weather
information, links to local clubs
and associations, and advertising. Http://sdsailing.com also
includes a photo-gallery.
Overall, this site is the best
place to learn more about sailing in San Diego.

in business. "Coach has a lot
of experience," said Dolch, "He
knows how we feel since he has
played the game. He continuously assists me with my mental
focus on the game."
Cougar teammate Rob
Keller, who tied for second place
(225) at the regional added,
"Coach Hanover has helped me
with my mental game and to
get focused once I'm on the golf
course." Keller started playing
golf when he was seven years
old.
When asked about the team's
expectations at the nationals,
Dolch said, "As long as my teammates and I play well, I will
be okay. For me each game is
a 'confidence builder.'" Keller
added, "I really have a good feeling about the nationals."
The players headed to the
NAIA western Regionals are:
Brett Dolch, sophomore; Rob
Keller, sophomore; Joe Rathburn, sophomore; Cory Scoggin, sophomore; and Tony Sellers, junior.
The Cougars will compete
in the NAIA Nationals scheduled for May 22-25 at the Isleta

CHRIS FISHER for The Pride
The Cougars made very good
showings the past two weeks
at the Pomona-Pitzer Invitational
on April 23 and the Cal/Nevada
Invitational on the 28.
The Pomona-Pitzer began as
a cold, damp and windy day and
remained that way until the end.

Since the invitational was located
at the base of Mt. Baldy, this
was the type of weather that
the athletes said they expected.
What they didn't expect was to
do well.
Mike Shannon, with a time
of 4:01.97, and Mike Manzano,
4:09.66, both ran in the men's

1500 meter. Anthony Blacksher
ran a personal best of 14.74 in
the 110-meter hurdles and Lucy
Downey ran her year's best in the
400 meter with a time of 57.42.

The Cal/Nevada Invitational
at UCI attracted tough competition for Cal State San Marcos.
Lanele Cox placed 11th in the

�Going to Class Is Part of College Experience
By JAYNE BRAMAN
Pride Graduate Intern
Before embracing Jeremy
Zagarella's shared experiences
in his article, "College Changes
You: Senior Experiences on
Spring Break," my educational
background in critical thinking encourages me to evaluate
statements made by Zagarella.
Z a g a r e11 a
described the performance of a tribal
ceremony in splendid
detail, but he doesn't
provide a description
of what the ceremony
symbolizes. His stated significance of "an
open social outlook on
sex and rebirth" was a
bit generic. The beauty
comes in understanding not what they do,
but why they do it. While I
also find beauty in cultural
practices between consenting
adults, I do, however, have difficulty in accepting acts of
violence against the innocent,
which in this case are the children.
As a witness to the "most
sacred" ceremony of the tribal
community, Zagarella depicts
an act where women "thrust
the infant's head down upon
the point of the rock." He credits his educational experience
at CSUSM for enlightening his
mind to be able to watch this
scene, repeated approximately
one hundred times according to
his statistics. I, however, don't
believe that I can suspend my
"insensitive American" beliefs
in human rights without more
of an understanding as to what
makes this act "sacred."
Asking me to shelve my

compassion to view this act
as beautiful is like asking
me to accept acts of mutilation or even genocide in the
name of cultural ceremony or
rites of passage. Even though
I understand the controversy
surrounding the fact that we
impose judgment on other cultures according to our standards, my experience in crit-

Through my own observations
as well as through conversations with faculty, I am struck
this semester by an alarming
absenteeism rate on this campus. I can't help but wonder,
where is it stated in the catalog,
the Bible of any college community, that attending class is
optional?
Granted, many people have
the impression that part
of the college experience does indeed
include the freedom of
knowing that if they do
not attend class, no one
is going to call their
parents. By not attending class, students miss
out on the opportunity
to experience the intellectual growth through
shared ideas.
A few weeks ago,
The Pride ran an article about
student apathy. Zagarella's article supports the idea that there
are plenty of activities oh campus for students who are willing t o get involved. Students
complain that there is not
enough to do on this campus,
and, in response, a Campus
Climate Committee has been
formed to address the needs
of the students. But, if we cannot get students to come to
campus to attend class, why do
we think students will attend
anything else? Campus events
are meant to enrich the college
experience, not be the college
experience.
So, if you complain that
you are not getting anything
out of your educational experience, perhaps you need to
examine how much you have
invested in the experience in
order to expect any returns.

"It is i n the
classroom where
intellectual growth
takes place as we
open our m inds..."
ical analysis enables me to
question the validity of such
rites.
The main point of
Zagarella's article, however, is
not lost on me. I appreciate
his sharing of what the educational experience at CSUSM
has to offer to the individual
who is willing to open his or
her mind. Since I have taken
a course with Zagarella, I am
aware that he attends classes
regularly and that he comes
prepared and willing to participate in an intellectual discussion.
As students, we can read
books on our own, but it is in
the classroom where intellectual growth takes place as we
open our minds to the opinions
of not only our instructors,
but our classmates as well.
As a graduate student, I am
fortunate .enough to be teaching while also taking courses.

Letter to the Editors
In Regards to
Student Dilemmas
Dear Editors,
We want students to know
that the University is committed to helping those who
encounter problems with campus rules and to applying
those rules fairly and humanely. When the situation warrants, we . occasionally help
students by making exceptions
to the rules. Those happy
endings, of course, don't usually make it into the newspapers.
Sometimes there are cases
that cannot be resolved to the
student's satisfaction, no matter how hard we try or how
much we are able to "bend"
the rules. The rules, after all,
are not made to get in the way
of students, but to assure that
the University stays true to

its academic mission, which
is what gives value to our
diplomas.
Although we'd like to be
able to respond fully to the
case that has been discussed
in a recent news story in The
Pride, federal privacy regulations restrain us from doing
so. We can say only that there
is more t o the story than has
been reported. Compromising
the confidence of those who
trust our commitment t o holding their privacy is not an
acceptable alternative to "correcting the record."
Thank you for your consideration.

Common Sense Is Needed: A Response to Several Problems on Campus
By Abelardo Torres
f or The Pride
In the time I've been here,
I've seen some and pardon my
French, whacked-up people who
for some unknown reason don't
realize what they have on of
their shoulders is a head and
inside that is " brain—you know,
a
the thing that helps you, oh I
dunno.. .think? And I'm not just
talking about students either, cuz
I've seen some PhD's do weird
stuff, but that's another article.
Allow me to illustrate some of
my points.
Example number 1: the
library. Any one who has been
trying to study often thinks:
"library!" So you get there and
head upstairs looking for an
empty cubicle and, depending
on the time of day and how
far along the way you are in
the semester, you eventually find
one. But it's only a matter of
minutes before you start to hear
candy wrappers, drinks being
opened and let's not forget whispers. So you pretend to cough. It
all dies down only to be resurrected by loud chewing from someone in a cubicle eating—of all

things—chips! Hello? Common
sense being used? I think not!
So after a while, the bag of
chips run out and you fall to
your knees and thank the lord.
But it's going to take more
than a prayer because there's
a group of god knows what,
friends? Classmates? Group
members? Old acquaintances,
perhaps, who have decided to
have a ^mall conference in the
quiet study area! Oh sure, there's
conference rooms on first floor
of library, but who needs that
when you can go annoy those
in the quiet study area upstairs
trying to, oh I dunno.. .study?
Here's the kicker—cell
phones! You'd think that the
library, of all places, would be a
place where you'd at least have
the brain cells to turn your
cell phone into vibrate mode (if
not o ff) or smart enough as to
put 2 and 2 together and say
uhmm... library?... uhmm.. .cell
phone. *ping!a idea* e Volume
down. But no! Some people
seem to have their cell phones
full blast, because once that thing
goes off, it scares the heck out
of not only the owner but also
the neighbors. Sometimes I think

that if they hadn't integrated
those annoying songs into the
ringers, we could probably use
one of them as the fire alarm.
But enough about library.
Let's walk around the buildings
and their doors, as well as the
hallways and stairs. In a previous
article I read something to the
effect of 'don't use the electric
handicapped door opener' And
in response I'd like to pose a
few simple questions: Have you
worked on campus? If so, have
you ever had to take a box from
your work place to your car?
Have you ever had both of your
hands busy at the same time?
Sure, there's an energy crisis and
you should save electricity but if
your hands are busy and there's
no one t o open the door for you,
then what? Stare at the door and
hope that it reads your mind and
opens by itself? C'mon!
Interestingly enough, there
are some doors that should just be
kept open all the time. Try going
from the dome to the library,
the door just before the narrow
stairs start leading down. What
the heck were they thinking by
installing a door that you pretty
much have to slam your self

against to open it? I'm surprised
a lawsuit hasn't landed on the
letsmakethisplaceahandicappedfriendly committee. I guess your
usage of common sense on this
one is a judgment call. To use
or not to use your hands: that is
the question.
Check out example number
2: Hallways and stairs. Most of
us get to our classroom a few
minutes early and in most cases
have to wait a few more for the
current class to wrap up. While
waiting we often lean against
the wall, read a newspaper, or
open a book. But some people
decide to sit (or as I've seen it,
lay down) and extend their legs
into the middle of the hallway.
You are forced to step over their
feet in a last attempt to not fall
on top of them. Then you get a tti :
tude by this individual because
they fail to get up and pull their
feet together. Most often they
call you "rude."
The most outrageous lack of
common sense is displayed on
the stairs. Perhaps you've experienced it, seen it, done it, or tried
to avoid i t It's when person X
meets person Y and they decide
to catch up on childhood memo-

ries on the stairs. Both individuals are talking and blocking traffic, and they get mad at you
for saying, "excuse me" as if
you were the one causing the
problem.
To wrap up, I'd just like to
ask that you use common sense
before you do anything. Sure, it
shouldn't be a big deal you talking on your cell phone, but it is
when you decide to use it in the
quiet study area in the library.
And of course, there's nothing
wrong with talking and catching
up with old friends you haven't
seen in the last 24 hours, don't
do it in the stairs when fellow
students need to get to classes.
And there's absolutely nothing
wrong with sitting down and
stretching your legs, it's just that
the hallway isn't the best place
for it.
^
By no means would I ask
you not to jump online, go on
a chat channel, play an online
game if you so desire but use
common sense as to not to do it
in the computers in the" library
because people might want to do
research. Just pointing out the
obvious.

Sexual Assault Consciousness Needs to Be Raised

The Pride

By LISA LIPSEY
Pride Staff Writer
Not enough students are
taking the initiative to learn about
sexual assault or enroll i n selfdefense classes. Sexual assault is
so widespread that if you talk
to ten of your friends, all ten of
them will have either a personal
story or they can tell you about
someone they know. Let's work
on raising our consciousness.

Even if Media is on reserve for
one class it may be checked out
to the instructor of a different
class for an in-class showing.
Please check with the Media

need is on reserve for a different class.

Thoughts on
Mothers
Compiled by: M. Addington
The hand that rocks the cradle
is the hand that rules the
world."
-W. S. Ross

There is no velvet so soft
as a mother's lap jio rose
as lovely as her smile, no
path so flowery as that
imprinted with her footsteps.
-Archibald Thompson

Youth fades; love droops, the
leaves of friendship fall; a
mother's secret hope outlives
them ail."
-Oliver Wendell Holmes

The heart of a mother is
a deep abyss at the bottom
of whiclr you will always
find forgiveness."
-Honore' de Balzac

Of all the rights of women,
the greatest is to be a mother."
-Lin Yutang

The mother's heart is the
child's schoolroom."
-Henry Ward Beecher

i t's easy to make a child smile.
A few words of encouragement, may be a special
reward for a special performance, Parents do It all
the time, and so do teachers.
Good teachers are the difference between a child
who succeeds and one who stym&amp;les. They are
the ones who make math fun and science seem like
an adventure into another world.
Teaching Is the profession that allows you to see
the most gratifying, Immediate and instantaneous
reward of a job well done - a child's smile
Mate a child smile. Take the next step - leach!

Make t h* difference of a lifetime.
