Registratm And A d m i n i s ^ ^ Major questions surface on campus as students rush to register for Spring 2003 classes. fair to other students. Why don't they open school for winter and summer sessions for the classes that are harder to get during the regular semester?" By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff Writer Cal State University San Marcos is a growing school. The projected growth for the future is to be as big a campus as UCLA. This idea is very feasible, considering the fact that CSUSM has more land than SDSU, which houses over 33,000 students to date. CSUSM currently has just fewer than 7,000 students enrolled for the Fall 2002 semester and the expected enrollment for Spring 2003 is even more; one of the reasons is because SDSU is not accepting any new students for Spring 2003. Many argue that CSUSM does not offer enough classes for the current students, yet they expect to eventually enroll upwards of a prospective 35,000 students. Students preparing for next semester by registering on-line or on campus are encountering many difficulties when they attempt to design a schedule that will fit their needs, due t o their appointment date or lack of class availability. Priority registration for continuing matriculated students began Nov. 4th and will continue until Dec. 6th for Spring 2003, via SMART Web or by phone. Ca!

No matter what their class status or major is, students are having great difficulty being able to get the classes they need semester after semester. There are not enough classes available for students to pick from in order to fill their major and even minor requirements. Classes are either at opposite times of the day, on opposite days of the week, or Major problems regarding overlapping in scheduled times. registration of classes The majority of the student body at CSUSM works part or One reason that CSUSM is experiencing this problem is f ull time jobs as well as going the lack of scheduling for the to school part or full time. Thus, required classes in each major. their schedules are strategically Class availability is the major planned to be able to juggle both issue as students prepare for next responsibilities. Many students ¡g ¡g 11 -w-tfF ¡ complain that the classes they need to graduate are only offered during the day when they are at work. Mona Kadah, a junior and high technology managementbusiness administration major, said, "This is my third semester here at CSUSM and I have been going full time. The school is trying to focus more on students who are working f ull time who only want classes at night, which is good, but this is not flexible to students who work part time and want to be f ull time students. We need more convenient scheduling with flexibility set around student's realistic schedules. I don't feel that my needs are being met and I don't think it is James Chesterton, a junior finance major, commented on his registration experience saying, "I work f ull time and Finance 321 is only offered during the middle of the day." Then when asked how he felt administration would help him he expressed that he had not contacted them and that, "I figured they don't care. Take it or leave it. I would like to see more classes offered for the evening students." Others comment that there are just not enough sections available for the required classes to be able to fit them in their schedule. Putheary Sin, a junior communication major, expressed, "Not being able to get needed classes at the time planned postpones graduation and it's not fair. CSUSM has to figure out a way to tone down or even eliminate this problem if at all possible. Of course, I realize that no solution can satisfy every student, but if improvements are made students would be a lot happier on campus around registration period." Jeff Bottger, a senior as of spring 2003 and communication major, commented, "I think there definitely needs to be a lot more sections of communication classes added. It's hard on those students who work to take the classes they need which are offered at random hours throughSee ADMIN, page 2 V OL.XNO.XIII Fall Grad Reception By MELISSA REED Pride Staff Writer In honor of all the students who will be graduating this semester, there will be a Fall Graduation Reception held on Friday, December 13. The ceremony will take place in a tented area from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. outside in Chavez Plaza, which is in front of the new Visual and Performing Arts Building. Speakers at the reception will include CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez, Dr. Francine Martinez and ASI president Jocelyn Brown. Although there is no dress code for this event, attendees are encouraged to dress smart-casual. Last year was the first year that this event took place, and it was said to have been very nice. There will also be refreshments to aid in the festivities. Because seating is limited, if graduates are planning on attending they should let the Office of Student Affairs office know as soon as possible. Guests of graduates should be limited to no more than four people. Because the specific names of the graduates will not be called at this ceremony, graduates are encouraged to come participate in the traditional May 17th graduation at the Del Mar Fairgrounds For students having any additional questions, please call the Office of Student A ffairs at 750-4056. Coffee With A Conscience ASI Programming Board Gives Coffee To Students That Is Also Fair To Farmers By GAIL TARANTINO Pride Staff Writer The Associated Students Inc. (ASI) Programming Board, in an effort to reach out and acknowledge students, is giving out hot coffee outside the Dome Plaza on Monday mornings from 7 a.m.-9 a.m. The programming board, "is a group of students hired by the ASI to plan and execute events to contribute to the development of campus life and community," said Valerie and in a hurry in the mornings." Cuevas, coordinator of student When asked why the coffee programs and services. is given away instead of sold, Cuevas said, "Because student fees go towards the purchase of The Evolution of an Idea the coffee, so they have already paid for it." Cuevas said that the coffee give-away was originally Cuevas explained that buying planned as a "nice way to recogFair Trade coffee was not part nize our s tudents."

Brett Gladys, a member of the programming board and one of the students handing out coffee explained that, "Fair Trade guarantees that coffee growers and farmers were paid a fair price regardless of the market." Gladys added that, "Fair Trade coffee is also produced without pesticides and forests aren't slashed and burned to grow it." Noah Smith, also a programming board member, explained the coffee is purchased from "People's Co-op in Ocean Beach." An organization that according to Smith "promotes both organically grown and vegetarian products."

I fortunately do not work; next semester I was hoping to get an internship, but with my class schedule across the board time wise, it may not be an option." Starting with registration for Spring 2003 semester, a new policy by the administration notifies students of their registration date by campus email only. Many students are frustrated with the priority registration dates, because they do not really give them priority service. Kadah added, "For example, HTM 426 is a popular class among Business majors and there is only one section being offered for the Spring 2003 semester. The class was filled and closed long before my priority registration date came, thus, giving me no chance i t getting into the class with no other sections offered. This class is very important for my major and the other electives do not fill my needs. By the time my priority registration time came, it was useless, because there were only two electives classes available." Kadah is still trying to get a response from administration, but does not have much hope of getting registered and will try crashing the classes at the beginAccording to an article in the ning of the semester.

There is a definite c orrelation between the classes available to the number of professors available to teach the classes. There are more lecturers than there are tenured professors at CSUSM. According to the Cal State San Marcos website, there are about 256 lecturers on campus this fall compared to 201 tenured and tenure track faculty. Lecturers can teach a maximum of five classes per semester and many of them teach only one or two classes while they are willing to teach more.

Her story, listed in the Soroptimist Foundation scholarship packet, shows how every year this foundation has been helping women like Narumi all over the world themselves and their families through its Women's Opportunity Award. The award, which was established in 1972, has been established in order to benefit women who are trying to achieve their personal and professional goals through education and employment. The program was designed to assist women who are providing the primary source of financial support for their families. The award can be used to offset the cost of tuition, books, childcare and transportation. The amounts of the award do vary Coffee With A Conscience On each cup of coffee that is given away is a label, explaining the concerns surrounding the production of coffee and why the Fair Trade coffee co-op is a welcomed solution.

According to the website, "coffee farmers receive and every year, three awards are granted. The first place winner receives $5,000 and the second and third place winners receive $3,000.

By JENNIFER ACEE Pride Staff Writer High attendance numbers at informational. meetings signify Cal State San Marcos students' peaked interest in studying abroad. The global affairs office provided a series of informational sessions throughout this fall semester, each of which yielded a relatively large audience of students who were interested in study abroad programs. MM mm mm ter abroad, but the majority was interested in summer programs. In spite of disparate needs and interests, everyone attended with an open mind in order to embrace opportunity and insert her/himself into a new cultural context. Cal State San Marcos students' heightened interest follows a national trend. The number of American college students receiving academic units for study abroad in 2000/01 increased 7.4% from the previous year, reaching a record total of 154,168 students, according to "Open Doors 2002," the annual report on international education that is published by the Institute of International Education. The most recent meeting, and the last of the semester, was held in University Hall 449 on Monday Nov. 18 from 1-2 p.m. for a crowd of over a dozen. Fortuitously kicking off America's third annual International Education Week, a diverse group of students gathered at the meeting Dulce Dorado, CSUSM study to have their potential travel abroad advisor, approximates, appeal sowed into reality. that 100 CSUSM students per year attend an academic proSome attending students gram abroad.

Plus, like program duration and destination, price is highly variable and can range from tens of thousands of dollars to mere hundreds. Associate Director of the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office Gerrie Hatten gave this advice to potential study abroad candidates: "Students need to take responsibility for making sure that all the needed paperwork and processes are completed. in a timely manner. They need to plan ahead and be realistic about the cost of the programs, the types and amounts of financial aid that can be used and how much of their own resources are available and to make decisions based on all those components." Vicky Segall, a CSUSM senior double majoring in Literature and Spanish, spent last summer studying and traveling in Spain. Segall used her "Cal-Vet aid" to help cover tuition costs, and so found herself with only the plane ticket and spending money as what she recalls were "the big things I had to worry about." Davis interprets the overall costs as fairly insignificant. She claims, "It doesn't cost that much more to study abroad for a year compared to living in San Diego and going to CSUSM for one year." If students missed the informational meetings this semester and are interested in what sorts of programs are available in international education, they can visit the global affairs office in Craven Hall 5211, or call their office at (760) 750-4090.

In the case of Albert, it extracts what it can f rom the exercises written by the students and it ignores nonsensical sentences as Oberem explained during an exercise. However, Albert can only b e used in school. He mentioned that a lot of research, as well as using how students t hink about physics, were used in the creation of these programs. human t hinking process. " It's for students to see some demonstrations," said Oberem about these tutors.

First Annual Frisbee Competition Student groups compete for cash and a trophy in an interesting frisbee game By JASON PADILLA Pride Staff Writer nized by the Associated Stu- There is also no contact between dent Inc. Programming Board, players at all. Friday Nov. 22nd marked the First Annual Frisbee competition from 1 to 3 p.m. at Forum Field in the Chavez Plaza. The competition, which was open for all clubs who wished to sign up, involved only four teams, consisting of: APSS (Asian Pacific Student Society), PAN (Progressive Activist Network), Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Alpha Chi Omega. The games were hosted and refereed by CSUSM student John Gehris and orga- For those interested in playing, it does look like a bit of work and physical exhaustion. The rules of the game involve the two teams of five getting an unlimited number of throws, but the teammate with the frisbee can only hold the frisbee for 10 seconds at a time. If the frisbee is dropped or a pass is incomplete, the frisbee changes sides, and a player cannot run with the frisbee. A goal is scored when a catch is made in the end zone. The first match of the day involved APSS vs. PAN, where PAN came out with a devastating victory of 6 to 3. Skilled passes and absolute confidence in teammates seemed to be the deciding factor in the match. The second match was a blowout, with Sigma Alpha Epsilon destroying Alpha Chi Omega 6-0. Alpha Chi Omega's strong point certainly is not head to head frisbee, as they struggled to even put a single point on the board. With only a brief intermission for the teams to catch their breath, the final match was underway. Jumping to an early lead in the final game, Sigma Alpha Epsilon went up early with a series of scores giving them a 5-0 lead. In the fashion of all great athletes and teams, PAN refused to give in. Really pulling themselves together, PAN jumped back into the game quickly scoring a remarkable 4 points in under 6 minutes. Even though it was a great attempt at a comeback, it just was not enough, as they lost 8-4. Sigma Alpha Epsilon won the first annual frisbee competition. Each member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon team won five $20 cougar cards and a handsome 22" tall trophy that read "Superior Disc Handlers". Even with a small t urn out, the event seemed to be a success, and the audience enjoyed themselves.

From Kahlo's unfortunate accident in her youth to her most joyous days and a bittersweet departure, the movie depicts the life of one of Mexico's most talented,artists. The film chronicles Frida's turbulent love affair with husband and fellow artist, Diego Rivera, played by Alfred Molina. Frida is a romantic's oasis.

(ASI) knocked around Founders' Plaza on Tuesday, November 19th from 11:00 a.m. to 3: 00 p.m. for its continuing "Take a Break Tuesday" events. For this month's entertainment, big glove boxing was available for students .on a break or walking to their next class who were willing to take punches from some giant boxing gloves. Valerie Cuevas, ASI Coordinator of Student Programs and Services, CSUSM student John Gehris, and ASI President Jocelyn Brown encouraged students to take their turn in the inflatable ring. Many of the students walking by decided to kick off their shoes and wait in line to jump in the ring. The enormous inflated boxing ring was set right next to Academic Hall and offered many students who were walking by a chance to release some of the stress caused by their exams and research papers. The clear blue skies and warm weather brought many students outside to watch fellow students bounce around like Sugar Ray Leonard while throwing punches at each other. With music blaring and bullhorn calls summoning the next victims, the ASI team enthusiastically haggled students to hop in the ring and throw a few blows. Some students were seen tossing the giant gloves aside and performing their favorite WWF moves on one another. "Let's get our professors in the ring," a student yelled while being tossed to the other side of the ring. Another student waiting for his turn also said, "I like how ASI brings f un to campus, it helps make being on campus all day a little more interesting." Approximately every third Tuesday of the month, ASI brings entertainment to Founder's Plaza. For last month's f un, ASI featured a giant inflatable batting cage. "With activities like the big glove boxing, inflatable batting cage, and human bowling, which is next month, we try to bring some f un to campus," said Cuevas. If students are curious about the details of the next event or where it will be held, they are encouraged to keep an eye on their e-mail and on Founder's Plaza for upcoming activities. �Sfedrina y los estudiantes de CSUSIVI Medicamento n atural que afecta al cerebro y al corazón Por ROSALLYN CELLE Y que la consumen tienen el riesgo de sufrir infartos y apoplejías.

Also, nearly 3 million Californians suffer from asthma symptoms. Asthma is a chronic disease that often begins in childhood and is the number one cause of disability, hospital admissions and school absenteeism among children. The overarching goal of the California Endowment's asthma initiative is to reduce health disparities and improve the quality of life for school-aged children with asthma. CAFA aims to reduce the environmental risk factors that trigger asthma, particularly in rural and urban areas with high rates of the disease. The California Endowment works with organizations and institutions that directly benefit the health and well-being of Californians. Their mission is to expand access to affordable, quality healthcare for underserved individuals and communities, and to promote fundamental improvements in the health status of all Californians. As listed in its website, The California Endowment is a private, statewide health foundation with approximately $3 billion in assets.

By JENNIFER JARRELL Pride Staff Writer For the past three semesters, I've been an avid user of the computers in the computer lab here at San Marcos. When I load "My Personal Settings," I've been saving the work I do in places like: My Documents, H: drive, and the desktop with no problems whatsoever. So when the- computer loads "My Personal Settings," I feel safe to save my work in places that are labeled "My Documents." Why else would it be labeled "My Documents" if I couldn't save work there? Well... one day about two weeks ago, I saved somei work to "My Documents," logged off the computer, and went to the Dome for lunch. When I returned, my work had mysteriously vanished. I frantically searched and searched for it everywhere oil the computer, but there were no traces of it. I began to secondguess myself that maybe I didn't log off correctly, and someone else had accidentally erased it. So I went home to retype all my work (thank God I had written my essays by hand first on notebook paper). fluke, I typed another paper in the lab, but this time I was going to save it to my zip disk. When I looked in my bag for my disk, I realized that I had forgotten it at home. I saved my paper to the desktop (again, like I have been for three semesters now,) logged off the computer, and went to the student store to buy a new disk. When I came back to the lab and logged back on, my paper was GONE! I asked the lab people (student computer helpers) how this could've happened since I've been saving on the desktop all semester. One of the lab people told me that there was a new policy implemented where, as of two weeks ago, students cannot save on the desktop or to "My Documents" anymore or their work will be erased with no possibility of retrieval. The logical, pragmatic side of me wanted to ask, "Why wouldn't the lab people put signs up EVERYWHERE letting students know about this "new thing?" Instead, I walked swiftly out of the lab and went straight home to redo my assignment, this time starting from scratch because I had not pre-written my work in my notebook. in charge" of what goes on in the labs. Instructional Computing Labs Coordinator Mary Atkins had this to say about the computer lab. "In the Instructional Computing labs, because these are public machines, we only allow students to save on their own space: the H: space, a ZIP diskette, or a floppy diskette. This has been our policy for the last 10 years. It would be impossible to maintain the machines, if we allowed the students to save to the C: drive." She continued to say, "I am sorry that there has been some misunderstanding about where you can save a file. Once you log off any machine, it reverts back to a standard "clean" slate for the next student. The ONLY safe place to save a file is the H: space, a floppy diskette, a ZIP diskette, or a CD." But that's not what Systems Integration Specialist William D. Craig told me. He stated, "Each student at CSUSM is allowed 50MB of storage space on a fileserver that is automatically connected at login. The only reason a student should run into a problem saving a file to the desktop or anywhere else on the h: drive is when the student is near or over his or her quota. In those instances, a popup mesA fter thinking that the whole After that second incident, I sage should appear alerting thefrustrating incident was just a decided to email some "people student that the file cannot be saved because the quota has been reached." He added helpfully, "If you lost a file that you had saved to your desktop, I'd really like to work with you to find out what went wrong, because it certainly shouldn't happen. There may be an incorrect setting in your account profile. Please call or stop by at your convenience so we can look into this problemi" So what I want to know is, basically, where am I allowed to save my work? I feel that the second half of the semester is a bad time for students' work to be disappearing. I'm not thè only one this has happened to. There's been a buzz around campus that students have been losing their files in circumstances similar to mine. Because of this episode, I will be especially safe to make two copies of everything I do, and I guess I've learned that the hard way. But I still feel that It would be best for students to know what's going on before they feel safe to save files just anywhere on the computer. unless absolutely critical. We certainly do everything we can to minimize the risk t o students' data. If we did rn^ke a change regarding something that would impact most students, like making the desktop "off-limits," we would certainly do so in a way that would not result in the loss of files, and only after giving ample notice to the campus community beforehand." Mr. Craig told me that this whole incident was a glitch, and will be dealt with. I certainly .hope so, because this is the most critical point in the semester, and students should feel safe when using the computer lab. Since it seems there are two very different opinions regarding saving files in the lab, I would just like to know which one Cal State students can trust to be true. Lastly, Mr. Craig stated, "I want to say that our department tries very hard to keep changes to the student environment to a minimum.

By STEVEN ZAMORA Opinion Editor Whenever I walk into the different entrances of Academic Hall or University Hall, I hold my breath in hopes o f avoiding the onslaught of disgusting, worthless, pollirtant, and chemical cigarette smoke from entering my precious lungs.

Surprise! You got a $100 ticket. ASI is a student-run organization that claims to be "of the students, by the students, and for the students" (or at least that's what their banner says in the student lounge).

Of course, in the mean time this doesn't do much good. I know currently the University is looking into off-campus sites as well on campus dirt sites.

I served 3 years as a Field Artillery soldier. I served one year at Camp Casey, South Korea and two years at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. I am also currently serving the State of California as a National Guardsmen. I would like to take a moment to address Tristan Nickey for his misguided comments * in The Pride dated November 12, 2002. The point of Veteran's Day is to remember our soldiers that have proudly served and continue to serve our country. This does not mean we have to have a day off from school. What more do you want Tristan? We celebrated the day on campus and the employees and staff at CSUSM are observing the day in December. Just because you did not get your 3 day weekend to go motorcycle First of all, he stated that he riding don't assume the school wanted to, "express my shame has forgotten about us Veterans. to the school for not recognizing Veteran's Day as an observance."

LOTS of staff people, who work in the administration and do far more work for us as students than these two, are forced to park in student parking because they are also students. If we go back a little bit, in the past years, GEW instructors, many of whom are graduate students in the LTWR program, were allowed to park in the faculty lot, but they got their privileges revoked because they were easy targets for Parking Services to cut out of the picture: they were STUDENTS, but they were/are also exploited teachers. to read this book to understand what this man did for society. I am not going to waste my time in this short response trying to educate you. I truly believe you have the ability to do a little research, however, if you need tutorial assistance feel free to ask. running water or sanitation facilities? No, I suspect we could not count on you. Honestly I do not think anyone attending CSUSM would accept these jobs or living conditions, to include myself.

I find their actions to be uncall for and should of never taken place. I am so fed up I am going to make extra effort now to not eevn buy snacks there. One time early in the morning I purchased a cup of water for fifteen cents and the only money I had was a 20 dollar bill. When I gave to the certain employee they told after this time I would no longer be allowed to purchase water if this all I had due to Cougar Store not having large amount of money avaliable for change. I can understand this but if the Cougar really feels strong about this they need have a sign posted by the cash register stating so. Another inicident that has happen to me recently is a purchased water and I happen to put a lid on my cup.

There has been an average, over the last several weeks, of anywhere from 2-4 cars left in the dirt lot after 4:15 with green parking tickets attached to their windows. Two out of three of us have gotten them already. What about you guys? Our main contention about the fines in the dirt lot is that they are unjusti- The Sociology Club fied, and above all, they exploit the students who are on campus for the most hours every day. Students who get here after 11 a.m. or students who leave before 4 p.m. anyway, are probably not the ones who are getting these atrocious tickets. It is understandable that, due to liability and safety concerns, it isn't safe for students' cars to be parked in an unlit lot after the sun has set. However, $100 per ticket?!? What a racket! CORRECTION Two of the comparative price graphs titled "Snacks" and "Drinks", printed in the November 19 issue of The Pride, were mistakenly constructed with the comparative scales stacked on top of one another rather than side by side as in the "Nutritional bars" graph. The actual prices are only accurate on the scales whose bases start at Zero dollars. The Pride apologizes to the vendors and readers for this misleading representation. ness.
