Voting Registration Rates Drop to All Time Low ByDiDiLUND Pride StafifWriter Declining voting rates, especially amongst young people has sparked a movement among the student population to encourage voting. According to the 2000 Census reports, only 50.7 percent of citizens between the ages of 18 and 24 are registered to vote and of those, only 36.1 percent actually reported voting. The national trend reveals registration rates dropping to a record low. The Lobby Core, a committee run by Associated Students Incorporated, remains dedicated to educating students about issues external to the university that affect them. This year, members of the Lobby Core are fighting hard to promote both awareness for political issues and to create an effective voter registration drive. Lobby Core members are concerned with the message students are sending to politicians. A Lobby Core activist by the name of Ryan O'Connor states, "This is a vicious cycle where students feel that their voice isn't being heard so they don't vote; but [at the same time], politicians don't care about our issues because we don't vote." Students active in the voter registration drive this year are frustrated that young people are not more involved in the democratic process. Lobby Core members stress the importance of voting to resistant students. O'Connor states, "If we want our age demographics taken seriously, we need to vote because what happens in politics does affect us." Scott Greenwood, Associate Political Science professor, agrees that in order to persuade students to vote, activists need to, "Make it clear to them not only do their votes count, but policies affect them." He goes on to say that the student fee increase has had a huge affect on students' lives but that students often don't see the connection between changes in their everyday lives and politics that make these changes. members of a democracy." James Nguyen, member of Lobby Core and past intern for an assemblyman, feels that students aren't aware of issues that affect them. He states that, "Students feel alienated from the political process." Due to the efforts of the Lobby Core, the recent voter registration encouraged more than 200 students to register. Lobby Core members have been successful because, according to Nguyen, "They motivate students to participate by tailoring the message of the importance of voter registration to identify issues that directly affect students." Another reason students are not active in the political process is the individualist thinking that one vote doesn't count. Greenwood states, "The perception is that one vote doesn't matter but the problem with that is if everyone did that, no one Nguyen hopes that in the future more would vote." He uses the Florida election students will register and vote because, to illustrate the importance of each vote. "Your vote is your voice, right, and duty as "Voters have the responsibility to hold the a concerned citizen." government accountable; it's our job as �The mm hmimm^tt PrlcfeVT S taff W riters E ditorial S taff E ditor-in-Chief E lizabeth B aldwin A cacia C ollins A lex R osalino AriBavis C had S pinks J onathan D anielle B oldt ¡l|||||ll||| • Photo; M i t o r D oug l Lasater A ssistant B esigo; E ditor R oberto P elia N ews E ditor S arah C axiin Featiiirf E ditor LkaGeorge A &EEditor K atie S ammoiis O nline E ditor Robert W oerheide Oistributioja A drian C iiiidiff l&v&inkm M anager S tephanie S app .

The rate of HTV cases is going up, not decreasing, so it is important to educate. We do a lot of teaching here at Student Health Services." Student Health Services offers anonymous HTV testing every first and third Wednesday of each month from 8-12pm. No appointments are necessary and the fee is only $15.00.

P ARKING UPDATE By CHAD SPINKS Pride StaffWriter "It's definately a lot better compared to other schools" Students arrived on campus this semester to find a major difference in the parking situation. The addition of temporary lots X, Y, and Z has provided students with extra parking to accommodate the growing number of commuters. There has been no need to implement stack parking or curb parking which has been used in past semesters. approximately 1000-1200 new spaces. However, according to Patty Hill of parking services, the cost for the new lots will affect the budget for future parking structures. The current plan for meeting future budget needs is outlined on the parking services website (www.csusm.edu/parking). The additional parking has been successful in improving Parking services estimate upon parking problems from that the addition of the past years. Hill commented, new lots has provided "There have been very few All opinions and letters to the editor, published in The Pride, represent the opinions of thé author, and dq not necessarily represent the Views of The Prider or of California State University San Marcos, Unsigned editorials represent the majority opinion of The Pride editorial board.

The following list contains such corrections: The Dean of the College of Education, Steve Lilly, Ed.D. had his first name misspelled Seve not Steve in the article Raising the Stakes. In that same article, the date of June 1,2002 was given as the date of exemption from the CSET-MS test for those already with teaching credentials. The correct date is July 1,2002 for that exemption. The email address for the ombudsman was omitted from the end of that column. That email address is dolan005@csusm.edu. In the article, P.A.N Holds 9/11 Forum at Cal State San Marcos, DeDe Long was misspelled, the correct spelling is DiDi Lund.

F Î tared DC ��PROP 54: Yes or No? By MELISSA RODRK5ÜEZ Pride StaffWriter What ethnic group do you identify yourself with; American Indian, African American, Mexican American, Japanese, White, Pacific Islander, or the all encompassing "other?" As students we are familiar with answering the question of our ethnic identity. It is an ever present query on college admission applications. If, on October 7th or whenever the recall electionfinallytakes place, Proposition 54 will be voted on. stated "Since we do not use race/ ethnicity for admission purposes, Prop 54, if passed will not have any effect on our office." Dr. Karen Nicholson, the Director of Student Health Services also states that "The way healthcare is provided here will not be affected." The first article of the proposition states: (a) "The State shall not classify any individual by race, ethnicity, color, or national origin in the operation of public education, public contracting or public employment." In article (c) it states that for its purposes the word "classifying" "shall be defined as the act of separating, sorting, or organizing by race, ethnicity, color or national origin..." Though Prop 54 would not extensively affect the State University system it could possibly hinder laws dealing with equal employment opportunity. Professor Stephen Nichols, Political Science Department Chair, though confident that Prop 54 will not pass, stated that if it does pass, "It would make it more difficult to implement Affirmative Action." Cases where racial information is not required by the federal government it will be illegal to collect. For Understandably this issue is very controversial and example, the ethnicity question will be removed from opinions are clearly divided with most conservatives applications to state universities because the State supporting and most liberals opposing the proposition. government, not the federal government, is responsible for gathering that data. Sean Mattingly, President of the College Republicans said "Prop 54 is a step towards being a color blind society, There are some exemptions to the law if it is passed. and that's how it should be. Quotas and Affirmative Action Situations in which this data will still be legally gathered keep qualified people out of positions because there are are; to be in compliance with federal law (to remain eligible quotas to fill, and that's not right." for federal funds), law enforcement purposes and to collect data for medical research. When asked what she thought regarding Prop 54, Cheyenne Barr, the President of the Progressive Activists Will this affect admissions or health services here at Network, answered "I am against it as is most of the PAN CSUSM? Director for Admissions, Cherine Heckman, group. I don't believe that this is a colorblind society and before we use a law we need to get society in the right mindset."

Golden By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride StaffWriter As exciting as it is being part of an expanding university in an ever expanding community, we must not forget the consequences of growth that will invariably confront us as we settle in to our surroundings. A most apparent consequence of this growth is experienced by every one of us at some point during our day; that is to say that our congested roadways are becoming increasingly difficult to deal with on a daily basis. Traffic is becoming more and more prevalent to such a degree that it is not reserved only for rush hour anymore. Delays caused by vehicle saturation on our roads coupled with the stress of higher education and, for many of us, employment in either full or part-time status virtually assures the pharmacological industry that there will be a fresh supply of customers for the variety of psychoactive drugs on the market for years to come. As we stand by waiting for improvements in our county's infrastructure, what can we do to preserve the last vibrating threads of our sanity in the face of the overwhelming stress that is the politics of driving? I drive for a relatively large delivery company. Sometimes, I am on the road for up to twelve hours a day. In this experience, I have seen an awful lot of madness, chaos, frustration, and pain. Super craziness in the form of big rigs passing on the inside shoulder to full on brawls over something as stupid as someone taking an extra thirty seconds to turn into a driveway. What truly amazes me is that there is essentially no one out there on the roads that is in as much hurry as I am with my job. Like I said, I am a delivery driver, so I am held accountable to be on time and on schedule with precision that rivals the railroad industry. What I have noticed and what I believe to be the key in dealing with the frustrating interpersonal issues that are a result of Rules & Turn traffic is the need of drivers as a whole to abandon the idea of ego when they are on the road. There is no need to take things personally while driving. Also, there is no need to use your vehicle as an extension of your ego. A car is a way to identify yourself and is a reflection of the driver's personality, but it should not be used as an instrument that will mechanize the driver's inability to step back and realize that all we are doing is driving. Here is a test to determine where you are at in terms of your ego and your driving. If you are driving down an interstate at 75 mph and someone comes up on your rear bumper, what do you do? Do you slow down and throw your hands up in an attempt to agitate this person who has come up behind you? Do you later complain about the proliferation of tailgaters on our roadways and what is to be done about it? If you answered yes to those questions, can you see that you are adding to the problem rather than providing a sliver of relief? I do not see the same problem with tailgating that others tell me about. In fact, I often ask the person who is complaining about being tailgated why they did not just yield the lane and let the person behind them pass. The response is normally along the lines of the complainer not wanting the tailgater to get the better of them. Huh? Get the better of what? What is the goal of commuting? Is there a prize awaiting the driver who did not get bested in a day? The variable nature of the animal we call traffic is so convoluted that it is ludi- Signals crous to assume we are in competition with the other drivers on the road. With every different driver embarking on a different course with a different mindset, how can a conclusion be drawn that there is a code of uniformity that can be applied to our commutes? The idea that no matter what, we can not be bested by another driver must be done away with immediately. The purpose of driving is to reach a destination, not inflame our fellow drivers with rage. The emotions that are the result of mixing the ego with the auto are a dangerous combination: those are emotions spawned by two entities that should have never been brought together. We need to think more conscientiously about other drivers and the effects that our actions are having on them and the flow of traffic in general. In addition, consistently using turn signals and a little patience will provide steps in the right direction for introducing some sanity into our commutes. Because we have all been in traffic and, perhaps, even watched situations develop from something small to chaos very quickly, we all need to be thinking on the roadways. Like I have said, I have seen a lot of things on roads in the course of my job. Since we are all working to reach a destination when we drive, there is one thing I do not want see anymore of out there and that is a yellow sheet covering the body at the scene of accident. For if that is what your ego gets you when you mix it with driving, then think of how your ego looks draped in yellow. S e x In the School: AIDS Is Way Worse Than Ants In the Pants ByJONRODLEY Pride StaffWriter Here we all are students of the fall 2003 semester and maybe beyond. It's good to be back, for some reasons: all the cute girls and boys walking around. The semester is here and with it comes the parties and friends and relationships. It's hot outside and warm at night Parents, do you know where your sons and daughters are? Students, you know what's happening after those parties, even during them probably. Be careful, protect yourselves, it can be a hostile world under the covers. That person you're with, do you know who they were with before you? If you can't remember the amount of people you've been with, or even if you played safe with any of them, here's a story for you. At the end of 2001, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) reported there were 4,926 San Diegans that had a medical condition. What started as a virus, turned into a life threatening syndrome. Some of the people, about 79 percent of whom, got their medical problem from having sex. What can happen because of it? It starts with an H to the I, followed by a V. This in turn can be followed by acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Do you know for sure that you don't have it? AIDS spreads through sharing needles (drugs, insulin, steroids, piercing, and tattoos). It spreads through having sex, including orally. The other way is from transplants or transfusions or from birth. It affected over 362,827 people in the U.S. by December of 2001. San Diego had 3,921 infected people that got AIDS from having sex. That's not including all the people not yet listed that are possibly having sex while carrying HIV. Maybe they don't know they have it. People do have the option of checking themselves with home delivery tests. These usually cost anywhere from $30 to $60 per test. Students at CSUSM, however, have the option of finding out for $15 and anonymously whether or not they are a carrier of HIV. 2000 2001 i U.S. AIDS cases per 1009000 [ population.

The ratio of people that have it in the region is low. The CDC reported that in 2001 only 318 people in San Diego had AIDS because of hetero sex; not withstanding possible HIV cases. Students might say they are too scared to get tested. They don't want to know the truth. Others think that they can't get the disease because they are a good person and only bad people get AIDS. Others might say they don't want to be shunned or treated differently if they test positive. The biggest reason is that some people are ignorant. Still getting their facts from the 80's about how people get it, or where it's contracted. This isn't the Caribbean where one in five people have contracted the syndrome. We're an educated people with awareness. Self denial won't heal a problem if it's there. The CDC reports that keeping stats on HIV contractions will play a major role in limiting the spread of the syndrome. They assert the importance of keeping records to have a better understanding of how it spreads. The statistics will aide in prevention and care efforts. Those that do find they have HIV can still live a normal life. The sooner they find out, the better. If people don't have it, they can keep themselves and others clean by learning more. It's important. There are over 31,000 people in this country aged 13 to 24 that have AIDS. California has 14 percent of the general AIDS population. In 2001 the CDC reported there were 807,000 adults/adolescents with AIDS; of these, 462,000 (57 percent) died, It can be a scary world if you're not protected. Stay smart and get tested. �W hat H appened W hen t he S cores W ent D own T he H istory B ehind t he C SET-MS By USA GEORGE Features Editor/Staff Reporter Remember when there was a urgent need for teachers? Permits called emergency credentials were given to those who had a Bachelors degree and answered the call to teach. These teachers were a great asset for the schools, for a short time. When No Child Left Behind, a revival of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act went into affect, it provided schools around the country with a measuring stick from which to measure school and student's progress. NCLB also gave the federal government reasonable cause to push for highly qualified teachers. Students were given yearly examinations to measure their progress. If the students' test results came back in the low category, the school was examined and parents were given the option of having their children bussed to a higher performing school. Due to a lack of highly qualified teachers in low performing school districts, students and schools suffered. Watching this trend continue, the federal government placed California in the hot seat and demanded that they become NCLB compliant. This meant all schools needed to have highly qualified teachers. Colleges and universities needed to update their programs so that by the time a credential was issued that teacher would meet the state requirements within NCLB guidelines. The result of the commotion would then provide California's children with highly qualified teachers and in turn provide higher test scores. all schools in every school district will require teachers to have passed of the CSET-MS. Those who have received their multiple subject teaching credentials from July 1, 2002 and after will be required to take the exam and pass all Along with emergency credentials three sections to teach in California. going under review, credential programs around California were also examined.

Perhaps you are having difficulty concentrating in class? You could have Attention Deficit Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or some sort of other mental, physical, or sensory challenge. The Disabled Student Services (DSS) is the place to go to get evaluated and get assistance. The university funded program offers its services free of charge to those students with a documented disability and who are determined by DSS to be eligible for services. For example, students with learning disabilities will often have gone through a psyçho-educational assessment to diagnose their disability. Such documentation is invaluable to DSS for determining manageable accommodations. determine what your functional limitations are compared to others in your same age and gender group.

Directed by Louis Spisto, the play is brought to life by a brilliant cast, namely Billy Campbell as Benedict, Dana Delany as Beatrice, Adam Ludwig as Claudio, and Erica Tazel as Hero, to name a few. Set in Italy, just after World War I, the play encompasses themes of love, deceit, redemption, and forgiveness, while simultaneously maintaining a humorous and clever tone throughout. Though the script remains true to Shakespeare's original Elizabethan style, the characters do not speak with the thick, old English accent like you may be dreading. In fact, the characters speak normally, while sticking to the original script. This ensures that your time will be spent enjoying the dialogue, rather than trying to decipher what exactly is being said. Every cast member performed wonderfully, but, without a doubt Delany and Campbell brought extra life to their roles and to the play's overall plotline. By adding hilarious mannerisms and ticks to their characters, Campbell and Delany were able to engage the audience completely. Campbell makes his first entrance on stage by tumbling through the crowd, spreading a lot of energy throughout the theater making the audience feel like active participants in the play rather than distant observers. Campbell's animated facial expressions left the audience roaring with laughter, while Delany's sarcastic witticisms had the crowd hanging on her every word. With the completion of each scene, the crowd responded with enthusiastic applause. These two alone make this play worth watching. "Much Ado about Nothing" will continue to run throughout September until October 12th. The play is performed Tuesday through Sunday, and tickets may be reserved online, over the phone, or at the box office at the Old Globe Theater in Balboa Park. If you plan to buy tickets in person on the night of the performance, be sure to call a few hours early to make sure that seating is available, and also to check out the A dam L udwig, P ichard Poe a nd J eff W oodman, w ith B illy C ampbell c rouching b elow in T he O ld G lobe's f estival 2 003 p roduction of M UCH A DO A BOUT N OTHING, b y W illiam S hakespeare, d irected by B rendon F ox, p laying in t he L owell D avies F estival T heatre S ept 5 t hrough O ct 12.

An Interview with artist Margaret Nee I ndustrial T ake O ver: A b rief g limpse of o ur l ocal d isappearing g reenhouses By LISA GEORGE Pride Features Editor/Reporter Have you noticed the faded wood panels in the library hallway? What about the discolored greenhouse door? Both of these relics serve as mounts for a photographic collection from CSUSM alumna Margarat Nee. Nee is a visual artist who opts for a unique close encounter with the local and devastated greenhouses which are disappearing from North County. Many of us have noticed the scarcity of greenery in San Diego. This is an unfortunate result of the industrialization which started in the 1950s, determined to encourage the growth and development of a nationally known city. However, there are always two sides to every coin. Nee illustrates this through her exhibit, "Light Architecture Southern California Greenhouse Vernacular" located in our campus library September 1 7-November 30,2003. Take a close look at the faded pictures nailed into the old wood. Notice how the images take on a ghost-like quality, an aura of antiquity. Then reflect upon Nee's efforts and message; these greenhouses have a determinable fate, as Nee puts it, an "inevitable disappearance". Nee is an artist in both her vision and her production of an issue which is very close to many who have laid their roots in San Diego. The quality of her interpretive documentary is intentionally representative of the current issues facing local residents. If you look closer into the photographs or take a gander at the references provided for more information, you might notice a few oddities about greenhouses. Besides their fading presence in southern California, greenhouses are part of an industry as well. Take a close look at the various draping of material over the greenhouse walls. Nee is inviting you to challenge your ideas about the very concept of greenhouses; industry is everywhere; factories are becoming our visual wonder in the metropolitan jungle. Nee has been a resident of North County for 25 years, an artist for 15 years. She continues in her artistic exploration of contemporary issues by altering the unconventional media which calls out to her. At http: //margaratnee.com/index.html you will find her various collections, each with a poignant statement, depicted through her alteration of photography in her personal style. Margarat Nee is driven by her quest for highlighting what is all too easily overlooked. She urges CSUSM students, faculty, and staff to "be aware of where things come from". By bringing about awareness of where raw materials and products originate, we will catch glimpses of the native light dwindling in the shadow of development.

Photo by Adrian Cundiff/772ePride By Adrian Cundiff Pride Staff Writer The Field House/Student Union was officially inaugurated last Thursday with a celebratory cutting of the blue ribbon and a free lunch for students and faculty. Interim President Roy McTarnaghan, student leaders and faculty administrators were among the speakers who took part in thanking architects, faculty, private contributors, and students from past and present, for making the Field House/Student Union a reality. Assistant Manager of the Field House/ Student Union Tim Bills thanked Colleen Clarke for speeding up the project with her donation of over one million dollars. The late Helene Clarke donated $1.2 million to honor her husband M. Gordon Clarke who died in 1968. Not only did Helene Clarke contribute to the Field House/Student Union but she also contributed in other divisions of the athletic department, which totaled nearly $4 Million. Bills also said that the Field House/ Student Union should be the center for wellness at Cal State San Marcos. However, he described wellness a little different than what is known by the average person. According to Bills, "Wellness is more than just the absence of disease." Wellness is " ... the appreciation that everything you do that you think that you feel and that you believe has an impact of your state of health and well being." ASI President Honee Folk also paid gratitude towards the contributors and placed an emphasis on the students who paid their Field House/Student Union fees. According Folk, "We owe a tremendous amount of gratitude to the many students who have paid the Student Union fees and invested in improving the quality of the university for the generations to come. "We (students) deserve a place that makes us the number one priority, and it's finally here." Good luck to all participants.
