The Cougars Surf Team, in their first year of competition, was able to compete and place higher titan other local colleges such as the University of San Diego and San Diego State University. "Our performance at nationals was exceptional, considering it was our first year competing in the NSSA. Everyone did their best and ended up finishing right along side the big schools that have done well every year. The most unique thing about Dave Kinacannon, is now returning for his second season. He missed two tournaments last season due to a broken leg, but he was still able to qualify for nationals and placed tenth. "We made something out of nothing; we all worked together," said Kinacannon. San Marcos is that we have such a small amount of people to draw from.

Among its many findings, the audit asserts that certain CSUSM CoBA faculty and administrators who were responsible for the MBA program offered through Extended Studies "acted collectively in disregard of various laws, regulations, and California State University (CSU) policies and procedures." According to the audit, "over $300,000 in Continuing Education Revenue Fund (CERF) expenditures" which were insufficiently associated with the CERF program "were made as grants to CoBA faculty". In its official July 16 press release, CSUSM has maintained that it had taken action to correct the situation. The audit also highlights various ways in which leaders and prior cam|>Us administrators acted in an "economically wasteful manner" in a summary which includes the following: - CoBA faculty responsibilities were additionally decreased when it separately hired student advisors. CoBA faculty workloads were calculated in a manner that reduced student classroom contact for many CoBA tenured faculty. CoBA discretionary expenditures were often, inadequately supported and inappropriately approved. Hourly rates for faculty with consulting contracts ranged from less than $50 per hour to several hundred dollars per hour without any perceptible justification for variances in the rates charged. Jack Leu, associate professor and former director of the MBA program from 1999-2001, notes that "Cal State-business schools have had inadequate funding for decades." Professor Leu states the problems that the program faced which include the struggle in recruiting talented faculty and how their actual workload of giving up a winter or summer break for extra pay "was rewarded with sub-market compensation." According to Professor Leu, "We could have taken the conventional approach of many CSU campuses. However, we taught our students not to be limited by system constraints, not to accept status quo and to take the journey less traveled. Perhaps we must also tell our students that the lesstraveled journey can also lead to p eril" In terms of how the Extended Studies MBA has operated as an academic program, the investigation concludes that it was "improperly administered" by the CoBA and ES management. Some examples of those findings include that: - Campus standards over grades were iiot followed. ES exercised little control over the operation of the CoBA ES MBA program. In addition, it retained few official accounting or academic records for the program as it does for all other ES programs at CSU San Marcos. Campus academic leaders, the CoBA dean, and MBA program leadership failed to act with due care and attention toward Office of the University Auditor findings and recommendations presented in the Continuing Education audit in December 1999. - Concern regarding thé management of the * CoBA, more specifically how the ES MBA program is being operated, has been expressed by students. Continuing Education Revenue1 Funds are expended in accordance with Education Code requirements, and training has been scheduled for administrative staff and faculty. 5. Special consulting contracts that pay faculty for duties typically included in their teaching responsibilities have been discontinued. 6. Pay for hours worked by faculty on grants now correlate to actual pay rates. While the special investigation gives numerous recommendations "which would mitigate the recurrence of similar findings In his article, Professor Leu in the future," in its press release, also states, "Faculty must not the university has listed the fol- be discouraged.

In my capacity as your A.S.I. Secretary, over the summer I had the opportunity to interact with a lot of incoming freshmen at orientation. Oftentimes this interaction involved nothing more than simply walking by them on my way to another spot on campus. It seemed to me that almost every time I would walk through a crowd of freshmen guys talking (or whispering) amongst themselves, I heard a familiar theme repeated over and over. It went something like, "Daaamn bro, look at all the hot chicks here yo, we're outnumbered like two to one!" Indeed, I admit, I was just as excited about that ratio when I first came to this school. Unfortunately what these guys don't realize yet (but they undoubtedly will once the semester gets underway) is that that ratio offers absolutely no assurance that they will "hook up" with any girls, let alone one.

It's common knowledge that, when it comes to understanding women, most guys are about as smart as a block of concrete. Our biggest problems are that, first of all, we simply don't talk to enough girls, and since most of us aren't very perceptive or sensitive, usually we either misinterpret (or just plain, miss) the signals girls do give us that are supposed to let us know they wouldn't mind it if we talked to them more and/or asked them out on a date. When I told my 12 buddies this, they all grudgingly concede that they couldbe better about approaching more girls. But, as far as not being able to read signals that girls are supposedly sending to them, they get outright indignant and sometimes even kind of pissed off. "WHAT SIQNALS?!?!" they all retort. "Are we supposed to be like mind-readers or something man? Are they using telepathy or something?!?! See man, that's what's messed up about chicks is that they always expect you to come to them, but when you do think you've received some kind of signal and you do step to them, 99.9% of the time you either just get straight up dissed, or they're nice but didn't �W ho B e n e f i t s W hen S t u d e n t s H ave t o C rash C l a s s e s By Gail Tarantino Pride Staff Writer It's that time of year again. Between having a crappy registration time, and the fact that the school only offers two sections of a core class that you need, so you are left having to crash a class that you can't graduate without. You are desperate. You have to have this class this semester because it's either & prerequisite, or it's not offered in the spring, or you need it to graduate on time. You don't even care that it's only offered at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesdays, or 11:00 am on Tuesdays and Thursdays, you've got to have this class. really want anything to do with you and you start thinkin' you're crazy 'cause you were sure they were givin' you the go-ahead, but then it never works out, you never get any love, you end up pissed off at yourself, frustrated, lonely, and highly discouraged... and after a while you just stop trying to talk to them with any hope of ever hooking up or getting a date because you and all your boys are like, "man, the chicks at this school are wack!" I think whatthe guys are trying to say is that girls need to stop waiting for guys to approach them, and they need to be clearer about the signals they give. Please ladies, don't take this personally and try to see this for what it really is: A CRY FOR HELP. The guys at this school are frustrated and confused. They want to get to know you better, but they aren't having much success, and don't know how to fix this problem. Guys like to fix things. Please help usfixthis situation. I'm sure all the guys at this school would really appreciate it if one of you that read this would write an article for the Pride telling us what we're doing wrong. And if you don't feel like writing an article but would like to share your thoughts feel free to email/ call me (see below), or stop by my office in Commons 203, and then I'll turn around and write a follow up article. So you arrive early on the first day of class only to find that it's standing room only. You wait silently for the adjunct du jour to arrive, while wondering how many others will try to crash. You ponder your possibilities. Usually the instructor will either refuse all crashers (in order to keep the class size small), take all crashers (knowing in two weeks there will only be 15 students still enrolled), or just let graduating seniors crash. I'm not just talking about the occasional class everyone has had to crash, but some students have to crash multiple classes every semester. to know each other all that well. We don't hang out together outside of school enough. We don't party together enough. I repeat, WE DON'T PARTY TOGETHER ENOUGH. This needs to change. No, I'm not joking, I'm dead serious. We need to have more parties. In my experience and that of all my friends, parties are clearly the best places to meet people, and lay the foundations for sometimes long-lasting and rewarding friendships. But how many big cool parties did you get invited to and go to last year based on your connection to someone at this school? Undoubtedly there are many of you out there that could count them on one hand, ^nd probably still more that couldn't count any. This needs to change. We need to party together. We need to have fun together. We need to be able to say to ourselves after we leave this place, "My time at San Marcos was so fun, that school rocked, I made so many friends, I went out with so many girls (or guys, depending on what you go for), I had the time of my life, I have no regrets and I 'm sad to be leaving." Unfortunately, at this point, I doubt most of us would say this. So, let's party. I challenge everyone whom this article resonates with, who has access to a house that it would be cool to throw a party at, to offer to host a big kickass party. If you need help organizing it, come talk to me, I'm here to help. My roommate and I wanted to throw a big party ourselves but we can't because we just moved into a condo. But if this article resonates with you, if you're feelin' me, and if you've got that perfect house, please, do yourself and everyone else at this school a favor, call me. But folks, there's really no amount of any such suggestions that would change the situation here. Guys will be guys, and girls will be girls. What we all need to realize is that ultimately, it's not a matter of whether it's more the guys fault or more the girls fault for keeping us all single, lonely, and wishing we weren't... ultimately the problem i s that for the majority of Hie students here, the environment we interact in, this school, is fundamentally nonAlone, we'll continue to wish conducive to fostering interperthings were different.. .together sonal relationships. we could make this place rocle We drive to school, go to class, then leave right away (usually Erik Roper alone) to go to work or some other commitment. We don't get While getting the classes you need is always a challenge, one thing is for certain: the system of crashing works to the detriment of students and faculty, and to the benefit of the administration which is why the administration likes it and will continue to sit back and not do a thing to dismantle it. classes but only getting paid for two. The administration saves on payroll, collects maximum tuition fees, and can continue pretending that the existing number of classes that are offered to students is sufficient. So while frustrated students cope with inadequate class choices, the part-time instructors get less pay and have larger classes. This is a very conLet me explain.

Yes, we students are the customers, and the college would cease to exist without us. The students deserve better treatment than we have received in the past, and better than we are receiving now. So the next time you crash a class successfully, be sure to tell the teacher thank you. And for all you instructors that take crashers; thank you. Without you some of us would not be able to graduate on time. R epublican B ait a nd S witch Recently Bush has proclaimed the greatest Republican fable of them all, that all of Nixon's economic troubles were the fault of Lyndon Baines Johnson. Is this factually correct? "At the same time, [Bush] insisted upon fiscal discipline, drawing parallels between economic conditions during the Vietnam conflict and those now surrounding his war on terrorism. In the 1960s, war spending was not balanced by cuts in the rest of government spending and, as a result, the 1970s saw deep unemployment, growing deficits and spiraling inflation, [Bush] said" (Aug 18, 8:16 AM ET By SANDRA SOBIERAJ, AP). course, the executive Republicans Milton advocated tax cuts to have never balanced a budget the top wages earners as the way to stimulate the economy with since. a 'trickle down' effect.

Bigger and bigger deficits from Milton-Reagan folly resulted. COMMENTARY If you believe that today's economy is the result of Clinton's presidency, perhaps the above claim would be considered reasonable. But let 's take a stroll down memory lane to that time of strife amidst love, the 1960's> and judge events for ourselves. Johnson knew the Vietnam War was a mistake by 1966, and spent the rest of his presidency alternating peace negotiations with targeting bombing. Johnson made one of the supreme sacrifices of any president in our history by taking responsibility for his Vietnam failure and did not seek to be reelected. He spent the rest of his presidency in non-partisan peace negotiations with the North Vietnamese to bring an honorable end to the war, and allow a predecessor to negotiate freely with out the responsibility for his actions. Johnson fell on his sword, handing Nixon a way to end the conflict, reduce defense spending, and keep the balanced budget alive that Johnson handed Nixon in 1969. Of The deficit spiral could only be stopped by another modest Keynesian democrat, Bill Clinton. A slight increase on taxes paid by those whose incomes exceeded $200,000 a year allowed for a few targeted investment and research programs to blossom. In a few years, deficits gave way to surpluses and the middle class was again treated to Keynes understood the wisdom targeted tax cuts. of stimulating growth through Now here comes George Bush public works projects.
