Kellogg Library open for Spring 2004, Editor's Starbucks included helpful tips The Pride would like to welcome back all returning students, faculty, staff, administration, and new students. As the beginning of a new semester always seems to involve a lot of running around, here are few essential tips for new students and helpful reminders for returning students. If you are going to crash a class be sure to arrive at least five minutes before the start of class and bring your own add/drop slip for the professor to sign. The add/drop period is Jan. 21 See Tips, page 2 CSUSM students will be able to enjoy a new library for a new semester. EDITORIAL A ctions are louder My education fees cost me $2,709 this semester and my parking fee cost $158; why? Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger used his authority to strip $23.7 million from the CSU for this Spring 0 4' semester. He proposes to cut 9 percent of the CSU's funds for the 04-05 school year. What does this mean for the CSU? Our student fees raised 40 percent within a year — outstanding. It means that EOPS and outreach programs will cease to exist for a year or longer. It means that that the CSU can't grow. It means that teachers lost their jobs and students' education must suffer. Blame the electricity crisis and Gray Davis, blame it on Schwarzenegger and his cuts, blame the economy, the deficit. The point is, with California $22 billion in the hole, Schwarzenegger had to do See Editorial, page 2 Photo by Elizabeth Baldwin/The Pride Five massive levels Kellogg Library hours: ByJonRodley of library are available 8 a.m. - 9 p.m. Monday thru Thurs.

CSU student employees form a union By Elizabeth Baldwin Pride Editor The California Alliance of Academic Student Employees (CAASE), which includes teaching associates, graduate assistants, tutors, and graders in the CSU system, has filed a petition with the California Public Relations Board to be recognized as a union. The CAASE has teamed u p with See Union, page 2 Up to 235 dorm students must leave the UVA for new freshmen By Adrian Cundiff Pride StafiTWriter The University Village Apartments (UVA) recently posted the reapplication process for students who live in the dorms, which may leave them out in the cold for the 2004/2005 school year. The reapplication process will include a lottery drawing of names that will guarantee rooms for only 125 students out of 460 currently living there. Other students who did not win the lottery and want to continue living in the UVA are going to have to wait till May 1 to find out if they will have a place to live the next school year. According to Director of the UVA Heather Singer, "Priority is being given to transfer students as opposed to freshman." Currently, there are 82 percent freshmen living in the dorms. She said that the next year there will be 55 percent freshmen living in the dorms giving it a different atmosphere. The lottery drawing has stirred up mixed reactions amongst students who currently live in the dorms. Although business major Lupe Soto is not going to be affected by the lottery drawing he is not buying into the lottery drawing. According to Soto, "Students that live here should have priority." Priority should also be given to students that apply to live at the UVA early. Freshman Michelle Lansinger does not agree. Although she is not going to be affected by the lottery drawing since she is not going to reapply next semester she thinks that the plan is fair since it gives students the opportunity to stay at the UVA.

The protest got Jenifer Wood ring rowdy and aboi|t 300 students chased Schroder out of a building so he couldn't sign the papers. They chanted, "First education, then games." What can we do as students to improve our education, granted the situation? The CSU recommends we go to a website to contact legislators and voice our opinions. The website is www.leginfo.ca.gov/yourleg.html. There's got to be more though. The Pride challenges Cal State students to send in letters about their own solutions to our education woes. Come to The Pride office at Commons 201 to get a leg up on what's happening with the CSU. Let's show the rest of the world how we handle our own.

However, before we get into the ugliness of the new uncertainty, I would like to welcome back all of you who are returning for another semester on our h ill For those who are joining us for the first time this semester* welcome and do not be intimidated. It is my understanding from some of the new students that I have spoke to that the orientation process was less than reassuring. To that I say relax, but also prepare. Thefirstsemester here is by far the worst for it is both demanding and gut wrenching. I would suggest to all you first timers not to get discouraged: it will get easier with time. For those who are not familiar with the position of ombudsman, I will give you a quick background. I write for the paper as a student like all the other Pride reporters, photographers and editors. What the ombudsman does precisely is provide a liaison for the readers to sift through and respond complaints and criticisms regarding the articles in The Pride. Therefore, g t^r P ride I encourage readers to e-mail me with their thoughts or condemnations for The Pride, to which I respond independently based solely on the validity of the claim. In other words, the ombudsman is like the conscience of The Pride. As for the new uncertainty, that could be the slogan for the future of the CSU system. Certainly changes are in our future with the proposals made by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. These changes are at the best uncertain and at the worst will resonate grimly through the halls of our campus from class cancellations and overcrowded classrooms to the elimination of programs and services for the students. The student population must voice their opinion on the proposed fee hikes and budget cuts to the CSU for this is a matter that cannot be thrown to the side. Gov Schwarzenegger's proposal will be a constant theme throughout the semester, please e-mail me and let me know your thoughts on his ideas. Also, e-mail me your thoughts on this edition of The Pride. My e-mail address is dolan005@csusm.edu HELP WANTED! g Mr Rrid^| BE INVOLVED W ITH YOUR STUDENT PAPER! GREAT RESUME BUILDER!
