(ASI) to bring to him a clear business plan for a new building, tentatively called "The Center for Children and Families," which will house the Early Learning Center (ELC). The ELC is a daycare center run by ASI providing inexpensive and easily accessible childcare for CSUSM students and members of the community. New buildings added to the campus like the Clarke Field House/University Student Union, the University Village apartments and the Kellogg Library, changed the landscape and have expanded campus life. The plan for "The Center for Children and Families" will be compiled before the end of the semester so that it will be available to the new president when he or she takes office. The ELC is currently located offcampus at 233 S. Twin Oaks Valley Road, in abuilding leased from the city of San Marcos. "Our lease is up July 31,2004 and so we have been having discussions with the university about finding a place on campus. We recently have been told that there will be space (available) here on campus," said Lura Poggi, executive director of the ASI. According to Russell Decker, executive dean of planning design and construction, two possible locations are under consideration. The first consideration is near the University Services building where the University Police are located, and the second consideration is behind the Science I building. Plans for the new facility include longer business hours, to better accommodate student schedules, and an expansion of services, to include children in infancy to after school programs for older children. At present the ELC is licensed for only 48 children and provides Spring schedules only offered online ByMKEDOLAN Pride Ombudsman The Spring 2004 Class Schedule is available, but is now only accessible online. This is the first time that the University Will not be offering an actual hard copy of the schedule for students to purchase.

Campus Equity week raises educational awareness By DANIELLE BOLDT Pride StafFWriter In the spirit of Campus Equity Week, Wednesday, Nov. 12, faculty, staff and students came together to voice their concerns at a campus rally. In effort to raise awareness about higher education, Coalition of Contingent Academic Labor and the California Faculty Association (CFA) organized a petition-signing to "Save classes/Save our teachers." The aftermath of 2003-04 legislative reductions to the California State University (CSU) system has negatively impacted higher education. The CSU administration has failed to meet the guidelines of the Supplemental Report Language (SRL), that the CSU will "ensure the quality and availability of CSU class offerings, student services, and libraries," (as outlined in Education Code Section 66010.4). Because the integrity of education has been threatened, particularly harming non-contingent faculty and students, the Cal State See CFA, page 2 "The decision not to print the schedule was not ours," said University Bookstore manager, Melinda Martens. Students who come to the bookstore in hopes of purchasing a class schedule will be told of the change. Students are told to direct any comments on the new accepted format for the class schedules to the Office ofAcademic Programs in Craven Hall 5201. Although there is no printed schedule available for purchase for the spring semester, there is a Registration Guide and Catalog Addendum available at the bookstore. The addendum only includes new classes and their description, not their scheduled times or days.

The hope is that Gov. Schwarzenegger will endorse the petition, with the need to "Save our classes/save our teachers." "We are here, on behalf of the students," said Tasha Iglesias, education major and CFA intern for fall 2003. Iglesias has helped lead the student voice concerning the petition. Iglesias shared her concern that many students are ignorant to what they are signing. With music and free food available (at the rally), most students are willing to sign anything. At the same time, it came "as a comfort that "some students were skeptical, and asked lots of questions about the petition." The petition expresses the concern over the manner in which CSU administration has implemented budget cuts. By laying-off hundreds of contingent faculty (statewide), and in turn, directly affecting the students' education, the outcome has not gone unnoticed. From crowded and unavailable classes to the limited office hours of faculty, students are faced with limitations, making it more difficult to graduate on time. "This pin says it clearly, 'Teachers working conditions are student learning conditions,'" said Elizabeth Hoffman, English lecturer and CFA representative for Cal State Long Beach. It is the hope that a week of campus equity will reap enough signatures and support from the CSU community to send the petition to legislature. Iglesias said that over the past several weeks the CFA, student organizations such as Lobby Corps, ASI, PAN, Mecha, and WSSN (Women's Studies) have worked to achieve their goal. Iglesias said, "We have sent out bundles of invitations, crashed classes, and handed out information regarding campus equity week and the petition signing." "That's why we are here," Hoffman said, "a profound change is needed (at the University). The faculty needs to nourish students, and in turn, the university needs to support the faculty."

The new facility could allow potentially hundreds of children to register. ASI has been working in conjunction with the College of Education to plan the programs to be implemented in the new facility. The intention of both groups is to provide not only childcare for students, but also a learning laboratory where future teachers could attain in class experience right here on campus. "We are thinking holistically about student needs," said Dr. Peggy Kelly, Interim Associate Dean in the College of Education. "I believe that providing affordable childcare to students gives students access to education and that is the primary mission of CSU," said ASI President, Honey Folk. In the university's mission statement the promise to meet the needs of its students is explicit, "CSUSM provides a range of services that responds to the needs of a student body with diverse backgrounds expanding student access to an excellent and affordable education." In this time of financial crisis the issue of funding is looming. "ASI and CSU cannot afford the debt. The key for us is that it all has to be externally funded," said Dr. Francine Martinez, Vice President of Student Affairs. Dr. Martinez provided a rough timeline outlining projections for each step; Fall 2003, complete fundraising plan; fall 2004, secure funding and complete an architectural plan; fall 2006, building complete. This timeline allows one year in raising the millions of dollars it will take to build the proposed facility; however, Qr. Kelly added, "There is a high level of enthusiasm and interest from donors." Barsky refers to the addendum as a valuable tool with useful information, "It is all the information that was in the schedule without the actual class listings." "We hope that students will see their advisers to answer questions on classes," said Barsky. After students become comfortable with using the schedule online, Barsky hopes that it will increase communication on campus. An increase in student-adviser communication will decrease a lot of the uncertainty in degree requirements and reaffirm that the students are on the right course for graduation.

The good-bye offered a special panel discussion with faculty, staff, and students discussing topics including: what motivated the students in deciding to study overseas, what they learned while overseas, and cultural differences they had to adapt. Yoko Suzuki, a junior and Japanese native is majoring in sociology. She spoke of her positive experiences with the educational system. "It's the best system compared to the rest of the world. America is the only place where no matter what your age group you can still go to school and get a degree. In other parts of the world, this is not possible." When - Suzki was in Japan she took her traditions for granted. Now in the United States, she is more aware of her customs, which allows her to feel more independent and selfconfident as she must make decisions without close guidance from her family. She loves the support her family gives her as well as her fellow classmates and professors. Samson Manickarej, from India, agreed with Suzuki about the high quality of United States education system. Manickarej, a computer science major is very in tune with his culture and smiles when he discusses how his stay in America enabled him to see his homeland differently. He compared America to a melting pot or "internationalmarket where everyone is welcomed." His classmates, loved ones, arid professors support him. His one wish is that more students travel abroad to experience a world different from their own and get a perspective of what it is like to be in a foreign country. Kim Quinney is a history professor and of ItalianAmerican ancestry. Her passion for world travel is to research her family roots. Scott Greenwood, a professor of political science visibly enjoyed his discussion about his time spent in Jordan studying Arabic. Terry Allison discussed his experience while in France. He said the younger generation loves everything about the western culture from its fashion to hip-hop. The older generation does not approve of this trend and find that the youth are displacing their rich heritage. Students and professors alike had a wealth of information to share with faculty, staff, and students. The quality of the United States education system continued to resurface. Having the opportunity to study abroad changed their lives from an educational standpoint and touched and changed their personal lives.

The Upper Chisolm, Lower Chisolm, and Cruiser contain up to 12" of snow with some obstacles on the way down. The runs are equipped with fun boxes and rails for snowboarders and skiers to challenge on their way down the slope. The snow is thin, but it's only November. There is plenty of winter for snow to build up on the ground. Mountain High is open from 8:30am to 4:00pm on weekdays, 8: 00-4:00pm on weekends, and night riding everyday from 5:00-10:00pm. Big Bear, now two resorts with Bear and Snow Summit merging, has also begun the winter season. Big Bear has between 6"-18" of snow on the mountain. The park known as "Claim Jumper," has 6 jumps and 19 jibs for riders to hit during their day on the mountain. Bear has also opened Big Bear Express for the snowboarder or skier seeking to test their carving or cutting abilities on the snow. The season should bring more snow to the mountain to help keep your board or ski's free from dings and scratches. Bear is open Monday through Friday from 8: 30am-4:00pm and Saturday and Sunday from 8:00-4:00pm. If you are planning to spend less time on the slopes, Bear also has half-day sessions from 12:30-4:00pm. If you are willing to take a longer drive, Mammoth is also open. Mammoth, the largest resort in Southern California, is a thrill seeker's backyard. Mammoth has 2-3 feet of snow and expecting a whole lot more to fall. They have 5 lifts open and the Gondola has opened as of Friday, November 14. Mammoth has the "Unbound" Terrain Park featuring multiple 60'-80' jumps and jibs that will put your stomach in your throat. The park is also equipped with the super-duper pipe that is not opened yet, but will open soon to give the greatest riding experience. For the new snowboarder or skier that does not understand the above language, it's time to learn. Check out one of the local resorts: Mt. High or Bear and learn the extreme before advancing on to Mammoth. Both resorts offer lessons seven days a week and private lessons. They also have complete ski and snowboard rentals so you can try it before you buy it. WANTED E GG D ONORS N EEDED SWIM I N^TRUGTOBSy!

CFALecturerRepresentative �THE PRIDE Kaleidoscope of Sound By LISA GEORGE Pride StafifWriter Passion. Climactic energy and dissipating strains of melody. The power and driving force behind 80 trained musicians directed by a seasoned and energetic conductor is what makes a symphony a memorable experience. The South Coast Symphony directed by seasoned virtuoso Barry Silverman pushes the expectations of what is expected from a symphony. Proclaimed "the unstuffy symphony for Orange County," this finely tuned group of musical magicians compliment a variety of composers. Their powerful renditions of "Apollo 13" selections, "Mission: Impossible," and "A Night on Bald Mountain," a brief sampling of the works presented at the Coast Hills Church in Aliso Viejo Friday, Nov. 14. The resonant minor chords were backed by thunderous timpani and other percussive instruments, supported by the reverberating brass section. The musical battles and celebrations throughout the night seemed to burst through the four walls and into the surrounding city. The setting at the Coast Hills church provided two big screens through which a camera man was projecting up close views of the musicians and conductor throughout the concert. This particular visual style allowed for a big and little picture of the energy evoked by the musicians through their finely honed skills of musical creation. Caught in the frenzy of "Night on Bald Mountain," the cellos played pizzicato, while a mallet beat a unique cylindrical steel instrument producing a blended, yet pronounced sound that added to the full resonance created by the horns and violin sections. The selection of this night's performance A&E Tuesday, November 18, 2003 7 Listen spread throughout three centuries and dipped into cinematic highlights including "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter Chamber of Secrets."

Whether you want to take your mind off of midterms and tests, take your little sister to a movie for some bonding or have an evening out with your VERY mature boyfriend ( note sarcasm) " Elf' really can satisfy. The PG rating makes it family oriented. The jokes are still amusing to adults. Will Ferrell stars as Buddy the elf and his appearance alone can generate laughter. He is a gifted comic and he definitely "makes" the movie. Ferrell seems to take the character Buddy so seriously, and then wham, he'll hit you with another hilarity filled Elf-esque outburst. The story follows Buddy who's been raised at the North Pole. He believes he's Photo Courtesy of New Line Cinema an elf even though he is very different from Buddy travels to New York in search of his father. the other elves. Buddy is then sent to New What exactly made me see Jon Favreau's newfilm"Elf?" My little brother did. "Elf' is the type of movie that appears extremely cheesy in the trailer and_ gets very little recognition until audiences discover that " Elf' is actually watch-able. It is an entertaining, holiday-themed choice that facilitates getting in the spirit of the Photo Courtesy of New Line Cinema York to find out who or what he really is and get in touch with his alienated father. Ferrell's humor comes in often as Buddy makes his way through the city spreading holiday cheer. It's corny, predictable and sappy, just how feel good Christmas movies should be. Ferrell keeps the movie afloat with his pokerfaced delivery of jokes and overall nutty demeanor. The only thing that I really didn't like about " Elf' was the fact that the movie wasn't balanced. Most of the movie isfilledwith jokes and is enjoyably funny until the second half approaches, and at that point, it seems like a hurried Favreau was just trying to get the project finished. The latter half of the film quickly pours on the feel-good holiday vibe that is so cliché in films like this. That is the only place that " Elf' really went wrong. The movie was cast well. It was slapstick style funny and other than the seemingly hurried second half of the film, Favreau should be thrilled that he took such a kooky storyline and turned it into a future family favorite. I give "Elf" a rating of B -. T h e V e r d i c t i s t it— Runaway Jury ^ = The suspenseful psychological thriller, based on courtroom novelist John Grisham's narrative, contains an A-list cast and an explosive plot with enough doublecrossing and secret motives to make this one of the best films of the year. This box-office success begins with a bang — literally. Gun-toting killers shoot up an office building, creating a massacre, which leaves 11 dead. The widowed wife of a businessman brings a major civil suit against the gun manufacturer she feels is responsible for her husband's death. With the increasingly hostile public opinion on guns, the powerful firearm conglomerate worries this multimillion dollar case may cripple the industry. Wendall Rohr, Dustin Hoffman, a chivalrous lawyer who fuels the case with his honest passion, represents the widow. His opponent speaks for the arrogant gun corporation, behind which stands a brilliant veteran jury consultant, Rankin Fitch, Gene Hackman, who will stop at nothing to ensure a verdict favoring the firm. Fitch stations his surveillance team at a high tech center disguised as a warehouse where they inspect potential jurors in order to strategically control the selection of the jury. However, the moralizing plaintiff attorney and the ruthless Fitch soon realize more is at stake when one juror, Nick Easter, John Cusack, and his accomplice Marlee, Rachel Weisz, inform both attorneys that the jury's for sale- for $10 million. A dangerous game of cat and mouse set in the French Quarter of New Orleans proceeds. Making up for the implausible story is the extraordinary cast, which works together in creating a heated courtroom melodrama beneath a background of controversial issues. The film is the first coupling of screen legends Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman, who form a climax for the movie when the two veterans battle it out in a tense scene. The movie struggles to overcome major changes from the novel all the while keeping the character development and plot twists distinctive of Grisham. The film needlessly replaces the original scenario targeting the tobacco industry with a political debate on gun manufacturers. Although the characters' motives are more transparent in the film, it maintains the high level ofsuspense from the tense courtroom novel. Viewers unfamiliar with the book will not predict director Gary Fleder's ("Kiss the Girls" and "Don't Say a Word") perfectly timed plot twists. Fleder produces a tightly wound thriller with his natural ability to know exactly what audiences will expect from the film, the cast's impressive performance, and the unique camera-like cinematographic techniques. The confrontation scenes and equally heated political outcome are enough to keep any moviegoer on the edge of their seat. m oto Courtesy of The 20th Century Fox Rachel Weisz, Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, and John Cusak face-off in "Runaway Jury."
