By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride StafifWriter Cai State San Marcos along with the local tribal community celebrated the 11* Annual Tukwut Powwow in honor of the late "Uncle" Henry Rodriguez an elder from the La Jolla Band of Luiseno Indians. , In honor of the late Rodriguez the theme for this year's powwow was the Luisefio phrase, "Yawaywichi Temet Ndlliyam," which translates to "Have a Beautiful Day." Rodriguez was well known for his dedication in educating people on Native American issues. WWII Navajo Code Talker Joe Morris, Sr. shared his experiences in the war and spoke about the key role Native Americans played in the war. Moms received many different awards for his service in the United States Marine Core; one of which included a Certificate of Appreciation from the President of the United States. The celebration featured gourd dancers, traditional drumming, singing, Aztec Fire Dancers, and Kumeyaay Bird Singers. Vendors were also on site selling traditional Native American jewelry, clothing, f ry bread, Native American art, and food.

According to him, "A powwow'is a time when all tribes of different Native Americans get together and participate by dancing and having different drummers from different tribes sing songs that are unique to each tribe. It (Annual Tukwut Powwow) is small powwow but a good one because it's growing.

President of the North County National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Rob Howard, Associate Professor of Communication Dr. Dreama Moon, and Associate Professor of Sociology Dr. Garry Rolison took part in speaking, answering questions, and addressing students concerns regarding Prop. 54. Prop. 54, which is scheduled to be on the special election October 7, ban the use and collection of ethnic and racial data in California. This ethnic and racial data is widely used by many different companies including: healthcare organizations, Police departments, schools, businesses, government agencies, etc. Dr. Moon said, "White women are diagnosed with breast cancer at a higher rate than any other group of women. Asian Americans are at a higher risk for hepatitis B. Latinos are more likely to die from complications of diabetes and African Americans die from heart disease than any other group." She also said that healthcare professionals use ethnic and racial data to find put why certain groups suffer from certain types of illnesses. Without the information these agencies will not be able find a solution. Dr. Moon also brought up the issue that she has been involved with the San Diego Police Department of racial profiling. She said that Hispanics and Blacks are more likely to be stopped by police officers in proportion to the population and that the San Diego Police Department acknowledges that police officers often engage in racial profiling and have developed programs to teach officers how to cease this practice. Howard said, "Minority communities are targeted by tobacco companies and have higher rates of smoking. Prop. 54 would keep us from knowing that. Also suicide rates, lead poisoning and other Photo by Adrian Cundiff/The Pride environmental hazards cannot be linked under this proposition to racial and eihnic communities. When you ban information what you do is you prevent yourself from working on a cure." Without ethnic and racial information people would not know what is affecting whom in these communities, therefore slipping between the cracks. GEICO's hiring! Pass it on!

This test follows the same broad sections the GRE does: verbal, quantitative, and analytical skills. The difference is the approach taken to test these areas.

A Masters degree could provide the status and recognition it may take to achieve your dreams. * Here is afinalword of warning. Make sure references are approached far in advance so that they will write the very important letter of recommendation within the time constraints important to the applicant. It is wise to tell the reference that their letter will remain confidential: the candidate will not b e reading it. This will allow the reference to be more expressive in their response. The reference should be a faculty member or distinguished person who knows you well and will write glowing praises. It is important to provide each of your references with a list of your strengths, accomplishments, and goals from which they will draw when writing the letter. Above all else, make sure that you "enjoy every minute of it. You'll never be there again" said Hayton. The time spent in graduate school will be two very important years to develop your writing skills, your professional goals, and yourself.

The job fair, hosted by the California Center for the Arts of Escondido on October 2, provided an opportunity for job seekers to look for work in one concentrated location. CSUSM did not host the job fair this year, but was one of the sponsors. CSUSM Job Fair Coordinator, Pam Wells, said, "We are not hosting the job fair on campus this year due to budget cuts, but we will have an on campus job fair scheduled for April 15, next year." Many employers expressed an interest in offering undergraduate and postgraduate students opportunities such as internships and basic field experience. Kathleen Bloomfield of Community Interface Services (CIS) said, "We do like seeing students. I was a student myself when I was hired here." She added, "We haveflexiblejobs, many where you set your own schedule." Robyn Heckler, Human Resources Manager of TRI-AD, said, "We are involved in the senior experience project and we offer internships for students/We currently have about ten student employees and we try to beflexiblewith scheduling around school." The event attracted all types of individuals looking for work. Erick Emms, a CSUSM senior, said, "It's pretty 1>ig, and it has a diverse selection of employers, from retail to professional. I'm just looking to see what's out there. • Students who missed the event can look forward to future job fairs currently in the works. The Rancho Bernardo and Poway Chambers of Commerce will host a career fair on Oct. 21.Last year the fair attracted over 1200 job seekers. In regards to seniors who are graduating this» December, Pam Wells urges students to bring resumes to the Career and Transfer Students Services (CATSS), adding "The RISE (Resuine/Interview Services for Employment) program submits student resumes to over 40 companies. The deadline f6r December graduates to submit resumes is Oct. 10." Provided by the job fair committee were complimentary bagels and coffee, along with handouts from the Employment Development Department (EDD) on jobfindingtips. Attendants were also given access to a booth reserved for resume critiques.

We, as a group, are excited with the response we are getting from the readers. Personally, I share this enthusiasm with the others because I am seeing empty newsstands and students with The Pride around campus. Also, I think the enthusiasm we have for the paper comes through in our reporting. The interactions I have had on campus with students and faculty are pro- ductive. Quite honestly, I have yet to hear any harsh criticism of The Pride and our stories. Be that as it may, if there are any harsh critics out there go ahead and email as well. On the topic of emails, I have received some emails that do concern me. The primary concern I have is that we are reporting on topics that encompass the entire campus, not just to specific groups. In this case, it is graduate students that have voiced interest in our workings at The Pride. As I perused the three issues up to this point, I noticed that THE PRIDE Corrections there were not articles specifically addressing the concerns of graduate students. Our articles cover stories that affect the campus as a total community from faculty to both undergraduate and graduate students. However, if there is something that we are missing in regards to our coverage of graduate activities^ please let me know and we will work on those ideas. That is it for this week.

The SUV and truck show sure was neat, I would also like to thank the College Republicans for clearing up my misconceptions about the Republican Party. I was under the false impression that Republicans stood for things like fiscal responsibility, individual freedoms, economic opportunity, family values, accountability, and common sense. I'm sure glad to be informed that . the new crux of the conservative agenda is SUVs. I was under the misimpression that the root of "conservative" is "conserve". SUVs don't conserve anything, so I guess I was wrong about that. So what does being Republican have to do with driving a wasteful vehicle? This question puzzled me as I walked through the protestors in Chavez Plaza. I thought to myself, perhaps the College Republicans are just celebrating our freedom to purchase any vehicle we want. That seems noble enough, but as Americans we have many freedoms. Are our CSUSM Republicans going to celebrate our freedom to purchase pornography? What about guns or booze? If we're going to celebrate our freedoms on campus we might as well have a giant porn display, get liquored up, and showcase the latest firearms in Chavez Plaza. I'll make sure to show; up wearing my finest f ur coat and baby otter loafers. Such an event would surely attract the masses to the College Republican cause. The more I think about it the more confused I get. Republicans promote individual freedom, but our College Republicans showcase the irresponsible excess resulting from this freedom. By aligning conservatives and SUVs the message is clear: Republicans at Cal State San Marcos really are the selfish and uncompassionate people you thought they might be. Once again I want to thank the College Republicans for setting the record straight. Republicans are not here to defend small business, encourage economic growth or lower your taxes. R e p u b l i - cans are not here to create jobs, pro- mote moral responsibility, or to ensure equality of opportunity. We 're here to sell you a bigger car.

You can pay 99 cents for a crunchy bowl of day old rice or grab a pocket full of fortune cookies for free. Do not mistake free for good; the fortune cookies are by no standard worth bragging about. Free, however, is always noteworthy. Most students who eat at The Dome fail to notice there is no price tag posted for fortune cookies. Students walk in thé food arena and walk out five dollars poorer when they could have satisfied that undeniable urge for proteins, carbohydrates and sugars for free with a fortune cookie. The history of the fortune cookie dates back to the 13th and 14th century when the Mongols occupied China. The Chinese needed a way to communicate dates of uprisings without being caught. Lotus nut paste moon cakes werefilledwith important SWIM Eatm information and then distributed in safety knowing Mongols had not acquired a taste for the recipe. This strategy eventually led to the formation of the Ming Dynasty and the freedom of China. Furthering the tradition, Chinese 69'ers put messages of good fortune into a cookie, instead of a cake, and exchanged them at the Moon Festival. Since then, the tradition of the fortune cookie has been extended to a complimentary desert provided on behalf of Chinese restaurants. On numerous occasions I have used fortune cookies as a means of survival. As a freshman at CSUSM, my friends and J would take platefuls of fortune cookies and share them amongst ourselves to substitute a five-dollar meal. During my sophomore year the act of sitting around a fortune cookie covered table underwent a transformation similar to that of the moon cake- survival strategy to tradition. Two or three of us would walk in the exit of the food per What are hour!

I was amused by watching her smoke and drink as we w ww.hpu.edu/grad Hawaii Pacific University offerì nine graduate programs that emphasize practical applications, providing students with current solutions and innovative strategies needed for success. • PROGRAMS STUB»* • Master of Business Administration • Master of Arts in Communication • Master of A rti in Diplomacy « i l Military Studies • Master of Arts in Global leadership • Master of Arts in Human Resource Management • Master of Arts in Organizational Change • Mister of Arts in Teaching English as a Second Language • Master of Science In i nf ormation Systems • Master of Science in Nursing Visité« H«w*«Ptcific Utmrtäy . mpr*$MMM m m p s : Mmi»y, Cet 13 . »! 18 ê,mA pœ, center for graduate studies 1 164 Bishop Street, Suite 911 • Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: 1 (808) 544-027S» Toll-free: 1 866-8RAD-HPÜ E-mail: graduate@hpu.edu amazing how many people look past the free basket of cookies in The Dome. The basket is in plain sight on the right hand side of the counter, conveniently adjacent to chopsticks, soy sauce and spicy mustard. "You are sociable and entertaining" and "You will be showered with good luck" because "You are going to have a very comfortable retirement" if "You constantly struggle for self improvement- and it shows." Go get those cookies! m 744-SWIM ' fMìiWifti ^Atei/te Free arena, grab afreeplate, turn to the basket of cookies and begin stacking. After twenty to thirty cookies were on the plate, head for the exit and return to the designated table. My junior year represented a stage of rebellion. The goal, make a clear statement about food in The Dome. Instead of walking in the exit, we entered through the entrance. As a group we glanced over the different options of food (as though interested) and after utter disgust, walked to the beverage machine,filleda cup with ice water, turned to the fortune cookies andfilledour pockets with enough to imitate a full meal. Then we would wait in line, along with other paying students, pay the fifteen cents due for the cup of ice water and snicker as though fifteen cents was too much to charge for ice water. Fortune cookies have a lot to offer a person: A meal, a snack, a messaging system, a history, a tradition, a word of encouragement, even a business. It is INSTRUCTORS $1"(|®|-$16.00 Vm : had: this conversation, I wondered just how the law has instilled a mentality to only think of ourselves as drug users if we are using drugs deemed illegal, regardless of their health risks. When I pointed out the contradictory nature of her argument, I was treated the traditional response for someone in her position, "I know, but..." Is that an acceptable response for someone who has just been enlightened to the normalcy that permeates within drug use? It must be since that is the answer one will most likely receive in this situation. However, that answer does not poke at the heart of the matter which is drugs are drugs regardless of how they are defined by law and 1 , really? society; A perfect example of how the law defines and shapes our acceptability of certain drugs can be found in alcohol. While popular in use and acceptability, alcohol has not always been the social fixture it is today. During Prohibition, the law would have the public believe that alcohol was a bad drug. White that did not deter everyone from drinking, it did change the perception society has of alcohol and its consumption. When Prohibition ended, alcohol's negative stigma also ended, making the prevalent drug it is today. Alcohol is not alone in being defined in terms that are dictated by the law. All of our controlled substances are defined as such. I now refer back to my friend who was drinking coffee and smoking while explaining her choice not to use illegal drugs. She is readily using drugs in the nicotine and caffeine she consumes on a regular basis, but she does not perceive this consumption as dangerous or problematic since this usage is legal. Also, society, while increasingly discouraging smoking, openly encourages coffee drinking. Think about how many of those green circles with the lady in the middle you see as you drive around. Is there something fundamentally wrong with our society encouraging one kind of drug use while punishing others who use another type of drug? Yes. There is a problem with a double standard in our social fabric. I think we can start to move in the right direction by realizing that they are only drugs regardless of legality. These drugs are defined by laws which are not absolute and are subject to repeal/ These laws shape how society views certain drugs and their usage. When thinking about drugs and reasons behind "why" and "how" for our own usage, we should be thinking of the driSgs we take and how our perception of them is shaped by the forces of law and society. This column is not intended to insinuate a free for all drug bender, it is intended to bring to light the complex and contradictory nature of our society. I should remind my friend that the next time she is enjoying her cup of coffee while reading a. newspaper article about a police raid on a drug house to look around her coffee house and ask herself, what is the difference and why won't this place be next? �ARTS 8 Tuesday, October 07,2003 T HE P ftlDE A nything E lse ByKRISTENREES Pride StaflfWriter This quirky yet romantic comedy should have been rated N for nuts. Thisfilmis unique because the main character, Jerry Falk (Jason Biggs) narrates each scenario for the audience. Thefilmis full of off-beat and hilarious antidotes, Jerry, a young up and coming comedy writer, is trying to figure out why his eccentric girlfriend Amanda played by Christina Ricci won't sleep with him anymore. Jerry's new friend, school teacher and aged comedian David Dobel (Woody Allen) gives Jerry all sorts of advice about Amanda throughout the film. He fires Jerry's lousy manager and teaches Jerry how to survive in New York City. Unfortunately Jerry has a weakness when it comes to ending relationships with anyone. He can't bring himself to break up with Amanda even though he believes that she is cheating on him. Jerry's situation quickly worsens when Amanda's alcoholic mother, Paula played by Stockard Channing, moves in with them. This film is unique and funny. It isiTt your typical romantic comedy. The neurotic girlfriend, and the over analytical Jerry, are amusing but not so much as Allen's character. Woody Allen does a masterful job at playing Dobel and was probably the reason why I enjoyed this film so much. Having the main character narrate throughout seems a little odd at first but the casting was done so well that the story is very believable and very entertaining; Anything Else is a young and funny. I would recommend it to anyone.
